The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 62 Conspiracy
Prince Yizhong's mansion, study room.

Tu Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the pond with his hands behind his back, Wei Zhong came behind him and replied, "My lord, the person Jia Zhen sent has already been sent away."

After a long while, Tu Yu said, "Invite Mr. Zhang, the lonely king has something to discuss with him." Wei Zhong responded, and quietly left the study.

A moment later, a middle-aged literati in green robes came to the study room and bowed to Tu Yu's back, "Zhang Jingxiu pays his respects to the lord, what orders does the lord have?"

Tu Yu turned around, came to the desk and sat down, waved his hand to signal Zhang Jingxiu to sit down too, and after he sat down, he said, "Jia Zhen sent news today, today I know the identity of the lonely king's sister, not only that, And made her princess, what do you think?"

Zhang Jingxiu stroked his beard and replied, "What I'm doing now is nothing more than to show my magnanimity and to win over the old ministers of His Highness the Crown Prince. The prince must be on guard."

Tu Yu nodded, "The Gu Wang also thought of this. The Gu Wang got a tip from the palace, and the matter was exposed by the son of Prince Dongping. It seems that I underestimated my cousin before."

Zhang Jingxiu pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Your Majesty, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. The longer we have been on the throne, the less chance we have. After all, he has a righteous name. If things go on like this, those who support us will definitely move left and right." , once the Supreme Emperor is gone, he will be struck by a thunderbolt, and then..."

Grabbing the teacup on the table and throwing it on the ground, Tu Yu said bitterly, "How can the lonely king not know, but there is nothing to do."

Zhang Jingxiu stood up and persuaded, "My lord, please calm down. Now we have to make plans early. I wonder what the Jia family and the Zhen family will say?"

Tu Yu sneered, "Jia Zhen's useless, the lonely king even gave him that girl I've never met in order to let him hold the Jia family's military connections in his hands. But he hasn't made any progress yet, Not to mention mastering it, he didn't even figure out the relationship of the Jia family in the army." After a pause, he continued,
"As for the Zhen family in Jinling, the Gu Wang has promised that after the matter is completed, Zhen Yingjia will be crowned as the county king, and the one in the palace will be the queen mother. He promised to win over Jiangnan officials and raise money for the Gu Wang."

"My lord has handled the matter of the Zhen family very well. Their family has been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and their roots are deep. Jiangnan is also a place where the imperial court pays taxes. Once things change, as long as we cut off the imperial court's taxation, they will definitely mess up their positions." Zhang Jingxiu Then he continued, "Besides, the Supreme Emperor has always loved Concubine Zhen. With her in the palace, we can also control the Supreme Emperor's every move."

"I'm not worried about the Zhen family. Their family has lost millions of taels in Jiangnan weaving. If they don't want to be liquidated by today, they can only rely on the prince. But the Jia family may not be reliable now. The prince can Did you send someone to see Jia Jing?"

Tu Yu slammed the table down heavily, "Jia Jing's cultivating Taoism has made people stunned. The Gu Wang sent someone to see him, but he actually said that everything is determined, and instead persuaded the Gu Wang to stop."

Zhang Jingxiu was also taken aback, he didn't expect Jia Jing to become like this now, and asked with a frown, "What about Wang Ziteng? What did he say? Although he can't fully control the Beijing camp, with the full help of the Rongguo Mansion, It should be able to control at least half of the Beijing camp."

"Wang Ziteng is swaying from side to side, and the Jia family is not a fool. How did he repay the Jia family after pushing him to the top? How could the old lady of Rongguo Mansion trust him so easily?" Tu Yu stood up in the study. After walking a few steps, he came to the window and continued, "Furthermore, this person wanted the lonely king to push her niece to be the current concubine, saying that he would win the Jia family's trust even more. Ask sir."

Hearing Tu Yu's words, Zhang Jingxiu didn't answer, got up and followed Tu Yu to the window, looking at the sunset in the sky, "I understand the prince's concern, he is afraid that the prince will jump across the river and destroy the bridge, and use his niece to completely fall into the present." He thought for a while, then smiled, "My lord might as well agree to him, I won't be able to let him go at that time."

Tu Yu wondered, "Please tell Mr. Zhang carefully."

"Has the prince ever understood the current situation in Rongguo Mansion?" Zhang Jingxiu didn't answer, but asked Tu Yu instead.

Tu Yu frowned in confusion, "What's there to talk about in their family? Now there is no distinction between the elder and the younger in their family, and no one in Beijing knows about the jokes. It's just because of Jia Daishan's close relationship with the Supreme Emperor. Just count."

"It's good that their parents and children are not separated, so that we can take advantage of it." Zhang Jingxiu explained with a smile, "Now that old lady in Rongfu prefers the second wife and loves Jia Baoyu, the second son of Jia Zheng, it is not our opportunity. ?"

Upon hearing about Jia Baoyu, Tu Yu said disdainfully, "Sir, are you talking about the kid who was born with jade?"

"It's just a trick played by the women in the back house to fight for favor. Why should the prince talk about it?" Zhang Jingxiu shook his head, "As far as I know, Jia Daishan's wife loves Yu's life for this grandson. The Duke of Rongguo, I'm afraid she won't give in."

Tu Yu paced back and forth a few steps, "Since that's the case, why push Jia's daughter to take over?"

Seeing that Tu Yu still hadn't fully understood what he meant, Zhang Jingxiu had to explain to him carefully, "The purpose of pushing the daughter of the Jia family to be in power is to win the trust of Wang Ziteng and the Jia family. I know that the prince is worried that because of this girl, Wang Ziteng and the Jia family will be in charge when they arrive." Betrayal, but the lord must not forget that Jia’s daughter is not Yang Yuhuan, and she is not Tang Xuanzong today.” He sneered again, “They expect to rely on this woman’s nepotism to achieve enlightenment alone, and chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, so they are wrong. Got an idea."

Tu Yu suddenly realized, and bowed to Zhang Jing, "My husband is like Han Gaozu's ovary."

Zhang Jingxiu also paid homage, "The king regards his ministers as soldiers of the country, why don't you repay him with death."

The two got up and looked at each other with a smile, Tu Yu said, "Okay, Gu Wang will send someone to see Wang Ziteng and the old lady of Jia's mansion."

Zhang Jingxiu shook his head, "It's wrong, the prince should send someone to see Jia Wang."

Seeing the doubts on Tu Yu's face, Zhang Jingxiu replied, "The old lady of the Rong Mansion is old and mature, so she must not scatter hawks when she sees rabbits. It is not easy to persuade her, but Jia Zheng's wife is not. As far as I know, this The woman is greedy and unsuspecting, and she will be fooled if it is related to her pair of children, and she is Wang Ziteng's younger sister."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingxiu sneered, "When she gets on the boat, I can't help her. Once the matter fails, it will be treason. If their old lady doesn't want to see Jia Baoyu and the Rongguo Mansion's family buried with her, she will definitely submit , even Prince Teng can't escape."

Tu Yu clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "That's right, the lonely king is not afraid of their two families telling the truth. One time of infidelity, one hundred times of disloyalty. Someone in their two families must understand this truth."

Zhang Jingxiu also had a plan in mind, "In this way, won't all the contacts in the Rongguo Mansion army be in the prince's hub? At that time, let Wang Ziteng control more than half of the Beijing camp, and the prince will promise a lot of money. When the time comes, we will act first. Strong, not afraid of failure.”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something big could be done, so excited that Tu Yu walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, and made up his mind, "Okay, let's do it like this."

Seeing that Tu Yu was so happy, Zhang Jingxiu reminded him for fear that he would get carried away, "Your Majesty, please remember that before major events are accomplished, you must not act rashly. What happened in Ping'an Prefecture is a lesson from the past."

Tu Yu also calmed down, "That's right, the lonely king lost his temper." Thinking of what happened in Ping'an Prefecture, he couldn't help but regret, "Unfortunately, at the beginning, it was all because of the lonely king's insistence on going his own way and not listening to Mr. Once."

Zhang Jingxiu comforted him, "Why should the prince blame himself? As the saying goes, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve them. Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have experienced many hardships. This time, the Supreme Emperor punished the prince to ground him, and the prince just took this opportunity to hide behind the scenes. Now the most urgent thing is, It is to solve the troubles of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, otherwise, once those pervasive and subtle works are allowed to detect the prince's plan, we will be in great danger."

Thinking of the news from Anzi in the palace today, Tu Yu couldn't help nodding his head, "Mr. is right, this time it's about the embroidered clothes guards breaking the lonely king. Why did you teach me?"

Zhang Jingxiu replied, "Embroidered clothing guards are developing rapidly now, but it only needs to solve one person."

Tu Yu frowned, "You mean that cousin of the lonely king?"

"That's right. I've been paying attention to his news since he was asked to rebuild the Embroidery Guard." Zhang Jingxiu explained, "Although the Embroidery Guard is developing rapidly, it is still dependent on the son of Dongping Wang. As long as he is solved, the Embroidery Guard Yiwei is nothing more than a mess of loose sand, nothing to worry about."

Tu Yu hesitated and said, "Should the lonely king send someone to kill him, I'm afraid it will startle the snake."

Zhang Jingxiu shook his head, "My lord misunderstood me. I meant to transfer him out of Beijing. As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. Once he leaves, the rest of the people in the capital will just fight on their own. I'm not afraid that they will ruin our big event." gone."

"Sir, do you already have an idea?"

Hearing Tu Yu's question, Zhang Jingxiu replied, "That's right, I found out that he is engaged to the daughter of Lin Hai, the inspector of the salt censor, and Lin Hai has now defected to the present and is competing with Zhen Yingjia for the salt road. .” Speaking of this, he paused, and continued,
"He will definitely ask for help from the present, and now that the Embroidered Clothes Guards have infiltrated the south of the Yangtze River, it is reasonable to send the prince of Dongping to go there today, and then let Zhen Yingjia hold him back for about half a year. I think there will be a period of time , enough for us to arrange it calmly.”

　Yesterday, a friend sent me a private letter, saying that Shi Xiangyun is good, forthright and generous, and can be a regular wife.Let me talk about my opinion here. I have seen praises of Shi Xiangyun's good personality in several Red Chamber colleagues.I'm just wondering, don't you read the original work at all?Let's not talk about whether Shi Xiangyun's identity is enough or not.In terms of her personality alone, she can see her upbringing problems just by comparing Daiyu to an actor in the original book. In the end, she still disliked Daiyu and got angry, so she beat her up.Also, in the original book, when she was engaged, she helped Xiren make clothes for Baoyu, and holding Baochai was fine, and she also held a girl, but she just liked to target Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu had always been good to her.As a result, everyone said that Daiyu was stingy, but she became generous and forthright.
