Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 649 Assassination of Gao Yushi (4 more changes)
After the two Annan people, one fat and one thin, asked the little boy what he knew, they threw him a tael of silver and sent it away.

As soon as Xiao Er left, the two looked at each other, the fat man bowed to the old man in the back room and said, "Master Pan, what do you want me to do?"

The old man didn't respond, he was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, chanting scriptures silently.

The fat man and the thin man stopped bothering the old man and sat down to discuss.

The thin man said first: "General Li, what do you think this inspector surnamed Gao came to Siming Mansion for, is it just a routine inspection?"

The fat General Li thought for a while, and said: "Although as a rule, after the inspector censor arrives, every mansion must be inspected, but in fact, this rule is not strictly enforced in Ming Dynasty, let alone in Guangxi. This kind of place is half of the chieftain, how many years ago the Guangxi inspectors almost never went to inspect the state capital ruled by the chieftain?"

But after he finished speaking, he frowned again and said, "However, this matter is not easy to guarantee, because Gao Yushi's inspector is somewhat different from the past inspectors. He is... According to our information From the point of view, it should be the trusted minister of the Ming Emperor, and there was a capable minister in their family before, who was a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty. Depending on the difference, if he insists on inspecting the Siming Mansion, I won't find it very strange."

The thin man Fan commanded: "But the attitude of the Huang family seems to be wrong. The eldest lady of the Huang family, Huang Zhiting, judging from the information we have obtained before and the results of the recent investigation of the Siming Mansion, it should be the real Huang family of the Siming Mansion. In her capacity, how could the person in power treat Guangxi Xunguan with ordinary courtesy?"

General Li pondered and said: "Your suspicion is indeed justified. I haven't figured it out yet. It stands to reason that the ownership of the Bazhai land is the most controversial issue among Guangxi officials. Whether it is the Ming court or the Liangjiang chieftain, they all want This area was swallowed up. The Ming court wanted to completely transform this area that had always been rebellious, while Liangjiang Tusi wanted to take this area down to increase his own strength.

But at this time, Liu Yao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who supported leaving Bazhai to the chieftain, was far away in Guangdong, and Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi who supported the establishment of officials in the Bazhai area, was dying of a poison. The senior official in Guangxi who has the most right to speak, and he is the emperor's favorite, I suspect that he may have the ability to make the final decision on this matter - in this way, as long as Huang Zhiting is not in a daze, she should give it to him no matter what. Highly pragmatic and the highest standard of etiquette is right, how can it be possible to treat them like ordinary friends? "

The skinny man thought for a while, and suddenly there was a trace of obscenity in his eyes, and he said: "General Li, do you think there is such a possibility... Huang Zhiting is called the "Flower of Zuojiang" by Liangjiang chieftains and local people. Known for her natural charm, could she be planning to seduce Gao Yushi, so as to catch Gao Xun's affair with the chieftain, threaten Gao Yushi to side with their Huang family, make the Bazhai land a chieftain, and even Why don't you use the Huang family as native officials to guard the Bazhai?"

After hearing this, General Li didn't think there was any chance of this possibility. After thinking about it seriously, he frowned slightly and asked, "But as far as I know, Guangxi chieftains like Cen Huang have always emphasized that they are their own since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. She is of Han blood, and has even begun to learn the etiquette of the Han people. After all, Huang Zhiting is also the eldest daughter of the prefect of Siming Prefecture, and the person who actually holds the power. Do you recommend yourself a pillow seat pragmatically?"

"Hehe, General Li, you may have forgotten a detail that Xiaoer said just now." Commander Fan chuckled: "Just now Xiaoer said, 'The scholar is more than eight feet tall and very handsome', hum, Han Well said, since ancient times, sisters love to be pretty, this high-ranking and practical family has a high family background, is talented and knowledgeable, I heard that she is very rich, and she is the emperor's favored servant, Huang Zhiting, a chieftain's daughter in a remote and wild place, asked him Why would you not be happy about the self-recommended pillow mat? Man said that Gao Yushi could get the land of the Eight Villages for her Huang family, even without the land of the Eight Villages, maybe she would be happy!

General Li, don't think that these chieftains claiming to be of Han family blood will make a big difference if they start learning etiquette. It is impossible to really see herself as a Han Chinese—otherwise, her father and brothers of Huang Zhiting are all alive and well, so what name does she use to hold power?Will the Han people allow this kind of thing to happen?This is like the prince alive, can it be the princess' turn to be regent? "

Commander Fan's words convinced General Li, and General Li nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, your analysis is very reasonable. After all, this chieftain is still the chieftain of the children, and they just put a layer of Han blood on themselves. , in order to show their nobility in front of the native people, instead of really treating themselves as Han people.”

He paused and thought about it: "That is to say, is it possible that she really wants to do this?"

Commander Fan swallowed his saliva and sighed: "This reincarnation is really a university question, just like this guy who is highly pragmatic, he can have such a little beauty from the big chieftain's family in his arms for no reason. It's eye-catching."

General Li chuckled, and said, "Commander Fan, as long as we succeed in this mission, the Ming and the Northern Dynasties will most likely meet each other in battle, and even if there is no fight, the Northern Dynasties will definitely concentrate their elite troops on the northern border.

Hmph, after the death of the puppet modest king Mo Jingdian, there was no one in the army of the Northern Dynasty who could be called a famous commander. At that time, the troops will be transferred to the north again. With the great talent and strategy of our country, how can we not seize the opportunity to attack the rebellious ministers in the north in one fell swoop? Smash Mohs?At that time, Duke Liang will naturally be the number one contributor to re-creating the universe, but you and I will also have a special contribution, so what is a mere gold and silk beauty? "

But Commander Fan sighed, and said with a sleepy expression: "General Li, you haven't seen Huang Zhiting before, she is really beautiful, but any man, how can he not be tempted when he sees her? Especially, she is still from the Huang family. This is the daughter of the chief chieftain family who has been in power for hundreds of years. General Li, think about it, if you can hold such a beautiful and noble woman under your body, it will be really..."

General Li had never met Huang Zhiting before, so he naturally couldn't understand Commander Fan's feelings, so he still laughed and said, "Since Commander Fan likes beauties with high status, why don't I mention it to Duke Liang for you when we go back? For the princesses and princesses of the Mo family in the Northern Dynasty, you can just pick one or two by yourself."

Commander Fan thought to himself, I don't believe that the princesses and princesses of Mo Chao can be as beautiful as Huang Zhiting.But after thinking about it, it would be very cool to have a princess to sleep with, so he still laughed and thanked General Li for his kindness.

Seeing that he was finally dealt with, General Li changed the topic back, and said, "Okay, now we have roughly guessed Gao Wushi's intentions for coming to Siming Mansion, and also guessed Huang Zhiting's plan, and then we have to work hard." Let's do some calculations and see how we can come up with a way out of this, to provoke Daming and Beichao, and let them fight each other."

Don't look at Commander Fan's obscenity when he mentions beauties, but when it comes to business, he can immediately organize his thoughts and concentrate his energy.He listened to General Li's words, thought for a while, and said, "General Li, I always feel that we did something too covert about what we did to Zhang Ren last time, or why hasn't Daming responded at all until now? ?According to our original plan, we want Da Ming to pinpoint Mo Maocha as the murderer."

Speaking of this matter, General Li also frowned, glanced at the back room quietly, and sighed: "Maybe it is indeed too hidden, maybe the Yao Gu is mysterious, and there is no one around Zhang Ren who understands the Yao Gu, so he still can't find it. The reasons and origins. We finally took advantage of the opportunity of sending envoys from the Northern Dynasty, and spent a lot of money to arrange Shigong into the emissary team. Unexpectedly, it ended up with an unsolved case. Maybe Zhang Ren still doesn’t know that he Why did he suddenly become seriously ill and dying?"

Commander Fan smiled mysteriously, and said: "Master said that Zhang Ren is not dead yet, someone must be using the method of life-changing to induce Gu poison to him, but no matter how he induces it, he can live for another two months or so." , we can still find a way to remind the Guilin side within these two months... But this matter is not in a hurry now, the next official suddenly has a better idea."

General Na Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's your idea?"

Commander Fan pointed in the direction of the prefect's yamen in Siming Prefecture, and said with a smile, "We can hit that high inspector."

It seems that General Li is not very proficient in conspiracies and tricks. After hearing this, he hesitated: "Now that there is no Northern Dynasty mission, how can we make a high-level and pragmatic idea?"

Commander Fan said with a smile: "Didn't he come to inspect? An inspector can't just live in the government office, he must come to the people. As long as he comes to the people, we can think of a way."

"Commander Fan might as well tell you in detail, Li is all ears." General Li seemed to be a good man, and his words fully gave Commander Fan face, which made Commander Fan feel refreshed.

Commander Fan said: "There is the simplest way, that is, we pretend to be spies from the Northern Dynasty, pretend to have discovered Gao Yushi's identity, and then assassinate him with a Gu."

General Li frowned and said, "Why do we still have to play a Gu? Why don't we just get some weapons from the Northern Dynasty to kill him? If we use a Gu, don't Daming find no clues when the time comes, then we are in vain. ?”

Commander Fan shook his head and said: "This time we must make the clues more obvious, and we must let people know that the Northern Dynasty succeeded... As for why we have to use Xia Gu, and it is Xia Yao Gu, it is because once the Ming court finds out that it is Yao Gu must immediately think of Bazhai, so they will definitely reform Bazhai, which will intensify the conflict between the Ming court and the chieftain. Once the conflict between the Ming court and the chieftain becomes fierce, The Ming court will not be able to concentrate all its efforts on a real war of annihilation against the Northern Dynasty, and we will not have to worry about luring wolves into the house, and instead end up with a magpie's nest and a dove occupying it."

General Li immediately understood that although Commander Fan was not a good character, he was very comprehensive in his thinking. No wonder he was sent to partner with him.

He smiled immediately and said: "Commander Fan has a clever plan, if this matter succeeds, this general will personally ask for credit for you in front of Duke Liang!"
