The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 27 The Method of Breaking the Game
The letter was not long, and Li Chengdao read it quickly.

After reading it, the expression on his face changed somewhat.

Handing the letter to Zheng Yuanzhou, Li Chengdao said:

"My mother-in-law and several younger sisters were not killed. This is a happy event.

It's just that the imperial edict mentioned in the letter is clearly a fake edict from the traitor Li Shimin. Grandpa Huang will never send Gu to Youzhou at this time.

Why do the traitors think that Gu Hui will obey orders obediently? "

Zheng Jibo casually put the letter on the table and said:
"Guanyin is still alive because Li Shimin showed his kindness to our Zheng family and did not want to completely offend our Zheng family.

As for the imperial edict, it was an extremely clever conspiracy.

In a few days, the messengers from the palace will arrive in Xingyang with the imperial edict.

At that time, even if His Highness knows that the imperial edict is false, he will still have to act according to it. "

Li Chengdao was a smart man, but he was not as cunning as an old fox like Zheng Jibo, and he did not see through the intention behind the imperial decree at the first time.

Now after Zheng Jibo gave some advice and thought for a while, he instantly understood this extremely clever conspiracy.

He said in a deep voice: "I know that this imperial edict is false, and the civil and military officials of the imperial court also know that this imperial edict is false, but the people of the world don't know.

And this imperial edict indeed came from the palace, and there was a jade seal on it.

The only difference is that the decree in the imperial edict is not the decree of the emperor, but the decree of the traitor Li Shimin.

But no matter what, this is an imperial edict that represents imperial power.

If Gu Ruo does not go to Youzhou, he will be disobeying the imperial edict.

Moreover, he will be criticized by the people. After Li Shimin's propaganda, he will even be branded with a greed for life and a fear of death.

As a result, Gu's reputation in the hearts of people all over the world was completely destroyed.

Li Shimin could also use the name of the emperor's grandfather to legitimately abolish Gu's status as grandson.

If Gu Ruo goes to Youzhou according to the order, he will lose the great opportunity to develop and grow in Xingyang.

It can be said that no matter how Gu chooses, the final result will be beneficial to Li Shimin. "

Li Chengdao took a deep breath in his heart and had to sigh at the clever strategies of ancient counselors.

Zheng Jibo said with a solemn expression: "It's not just what His Highness said."

Li Chengdao looked up at Zheng Jibo and asked, "Is it even worse than what Gu said?"

Zheng Jibo nodded lightly and said: "The result of resisting the decree and disrespecting the emperor will inevitably lead to the loss of the title of grandson.

Youzhou was Li Shimin's territory. He had resisted the Turks in Youzhou for several years and managed Youzhou as if it were impregnable.

The current Youzhou guard Wang Junlang is his direct confidant.

If His Highness rushes to Youzhou, he will definitely be manipulated by the King Junlang.

By then, not only will there be no time to develop its own power, but the existing forces will be consumed in the battle against the Turks. "

When Li Chengdao heard this, his eyes widened instantly.

Is this a plan to kill two birds with one stone in Xingyang or Youzhou?
Li Chengdao stood up and bowed to Zheng Jibo and Zheng Yuanzhou, saying:
"Please give me some advice from my grandfather and uncle. How should I handle this situation?"

Zheng Jibo held his beard with one hand and said:

"Li Shimin's conspiracy, no matter how His Highness chooses, will have no good results, and the one who will benefit will be Li Shimin.

I just discussed with Yuanzhou and found a way to break the situation.

But if you want to successfully break the situation, it all depends on His Highness. Li Chengdao bowed again and said, "Grandpa, please speak clearly." "

Zheng Jibo said: "First of all, resisting the decree and disrespecting it will never work.

Not only will His Highness' reputation be completely ruined, but Li Shimin will also be given the opportunity to deprive him of his title as prince.

Although this will give His Highness enough time to develop and grow in Xingyang.

But His Highness has no reputation and reputation, and his reputation has been ruined. Even if he recruits troops, no one will respond. "

Ancient society was completely different from modern times.

In this era, personal reputation is particularly important.

If you have status, great righteousness, and a good personal reputation, then many people will follow you and seek refuge with you for your encouragement.

If you are stigmatized as someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not resist foreign enemies, then everything will be ruined and no one will be willing to follow you.

Therefore, if Li Chengdao wants to seize the throne in the future, he must not bring any stigma to himself, and he must firmly keep his status as grandson.

"Resisting and disrespecting the imperial edict is not feasible, so we can only go to Youzhou.

His Highness will face two problems when he goes to Youzhou.

First, the support of our Zheng family for His Highness will be greatly reduced.

Secondly, His Highness is alone in Youzhou and will inevitably face suppression from Youzhou guard Wang Junlang.

Wang Junlang holds a lot of troops in Youzhou and has been in Youzhou for many years. He is an absolute local snake.

Even if His Highness is a powerful dragon, he cannot overpower that local snake.

It was precisely because of these two considerations that Li Shimin sent His Highness to Youzhou instead of Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jingzhou and other border cities.

But there is still a way to break the situation.

This method is very risky and extremely difficult to implement.

But as long as it succeeds, not only can the situation be successfully broken, but His Highness' power can even be greatly increased. "

At this point, Zheng Jibo paused.

This made Li Chengdao, who was listening enthusiastically, feel disappointed. Isn't this exciting?
He quickly urged: "Grandpa, please don't try to hide yourself. Tell me directly what is the way to break the situation."

Zheng Jibo's face was solemn and he looked very serious.

“The way to crack it is to turn against the guest!
After His Highness arrived in Youzhou, even if Wang Junlang received Li Shimin's order, he would make things difficult for His Highness at every turn.

But on the surface, he still wanted to respect His Highness, the great grandson of the Tang Dynasty.

His Highness just needs to find a suitable reason to kill Wang Junlang directly.

In the name of Taisun, he seized the military power of Youzhou.

But it is not that simple to kill Wang Junlang, the guard of Youzhou.

Once it fails, His Highness will surely suffer revenge from Wang Junlang.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Wang Junlang is Li Shimin's direct confidant. It is very possible that he will kill his highness directly with a cruel heart.

When the time comes, His Highness's death will be randomly arranged to occur in a battle with the Turks. "

After Zheng Jibo finished speaking, Li Chengdao fell into deep thought.

Zheng Jibo and Zheng Yuanzhou, father and son, also sat quietly, making no sound.
