Jinyi Night Walk

Five days later, Peng Ziqi rushed back from Qingzhou. This time Xia Xun invited Peng Ziqi and Ximen Qing together, and the three of them discussed in secret for a long time before finally finalizing some matters.

During this period, Granny Qiu finally settled down.When the old lady was in Jinling, she was already in Wang Xiaoer's body for the new year, and every year was not as good as every year. Presumably, the old lady also knew that her life was approaching, so she insisted on returning to the place where she had lived her whole life.Now with a subconscious mind, I force myself to the ground, and when I get to my hometown, I can't hold it anymore.

Ximen Qing originally wanted to arrange a house for her next to his family's pharmacy so that he could take care of her nearby, but the old lady insisted on going back to her own house, because the house was eroded by wind and rain, and there was no place for people to live there.But once the old man becomes stubborn, no one can persuade him.A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as my own kennel. The old lady is so old, what more enjoyment does she want, it is just a kind of peace of mind.

In desperation, Ximenqing had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire someone to rush to work overnight, to reinforce her old house and set up repairs, and to replace a full set of household items to settle the old man down, and hired two hard-working and capable girls from the local area to wait for her.Ximenqing worked with the in-house doctor invited by his own pharmacy to treat her, and prescribed some mild medicines to recuperate her body. He had to stay here for a while and return to Yanggu County after the old man's condition stabilized. .

Tang Sai'er also stayed here temporarily to accompany her mother-in-law. Xia Xun set off slowly and headed for Cangzhou on the second day after she kept secret with Peng Ziqi and Ximen Qing.Xia Xun's estimation of the time was relatively accurate. When he arrived in Cangzhou to settle down, and the family visited the Iron Buddha Temple, Iron Lion and other scenic spots the next afternoon, Ji Gang rushed all the way in fresh clothes angrily.

Ji Gang knew that the delay was a bit longer, so he abandoned the car and hurried over. Unexpectedly, Xia Xun walked in front of him and asked the Duke to wait for him. Hi, I calmed down, and when I was with Xia Xun, I stopped haggling over every detail.When he set off the next day, he invited Xia Xun to meet him without even dreaming of an invitation, and got into Xia Xun's car.

The two people in the car sat down, holding a cup of fragrant tea each, Ji Gang said: "Duke, we are very close to Beijing. When we go to Beijing, the top priority is the shoe target and tiles outside the pass. Building the imperial city and the imperial mausoleum , I have my own professional trainees, the Duke of the state just asks a little to make a show, but the officials recruited and trained the Jinyi school lieutenants in the Jinyiwei Yamen of Tianjin Weijian, this is a real thing, and you can't deal with it indiscriminately After all, the two of us are in Beijing and Tianjin, and it may be inconvenient for us to discuss matters frequently."

Xia Xun sipped it.Tea ceremony: "That's no problem. You bring your own manpower. On the Tianjin side, after you choose the site and the specific construction matters, you can have a trusted and reliable person nearby to supervise the construction. As for the captain Zhaona, Tianjin Weiben is a military port, how many people can there be? People are always called from Beijing, and the help of the Beijing branch is indispensable for this matter. After you go to Tianjin Wei to settle the preliminary matters, you can stay in Beijing permanently.

As for me, the secret that the two of us have arranged under orders is unknown to the officials, and it is an absolute secret. Since my public mission to Beijing is only to inspect the progress of the construction of the imperial city, to intervene in the selection and construction of the imperial mausoleum , You have to put on a show, it will take some time, when you return to Beijing, you and I can just start planning officially. "

Ji Gang frowned and thought about it, and the leader said: "Success, it will be according to the Duke's idea." Xia Xun said: "The emperor's idea is to drive away wolves and fight tigers, and use the shoe target and tile thorns to weaken their strength. This One trick, the shoe target and Waci are often used against me, Da Ming. When I was conquering the shoe target, Waci pretended to be loyal, and seemed to go out to help the heavenly soldiers, but in the end he just stood still. Lou saw me as two tigers fighting, etc. After the fight is over, it comes to pick up the bargain.

The shoe target is exactly the same as Waqi, constantly instigating me, Da Ming, to send troops against Waqi, vowing to join in the battle, but if my Da Ming really sends troops, they are just pretending, and they will only save their strength. Come for a bargain.

Now we want to treat others in the same way as others, and they will not be easily fooled. If we want to lead them by the nose, we must let Wansongling truly play a role in the Wacha tribe. "

Having said this, Xia Xun stared at Ji Gang and said, "Brother Ji, your majesty entrusted Wan Songling to your Jin Yiwei. How far have you made it now? I couldn't find out about these things before, but now I have to." We know what to do, so we can discuss countermeasures."

Ji Gang smiled slightly, and said: "Duke, Ji Gang has his own sense of propriety in doing things. Although it hasn't been long, Ji Gang has already opened up the situation on the Wacha side. Among the people around Wan Songling, there are now two of my people. , There is one of his slaves. In addition, I urged Wan Songling to make a strong request, and with the help of Huoahatun and Princess Qimuer, Hashha and Mahamu had no choice but to Wan Songling had to be allowed to establish a si people guard of 300 people.

Hashha, Mahamu, Taiping and Bald Polo tried their best to stuff their eyes and ears into it. Huo Ahatun and Princess Thamur also picked some warriors who were loyal to them to join the guards, serving Shi Dahan, hehe Of course, I will not let this opportunity pass by. Of the only 300-member bodyguards in Wansongling, seven of them belong to me! "Xia Xun was a little surprised when he heard this. These achievements sound insignificant, but in fact it is very difficult to achieve this. Not to mention that the cheap Khan Wan Songling is a group of Hashha and Mahamu who coerced the emperor into the future. Let a puppet of the princes be under their heavy surveillance. Even if his identity is 〖自〗 free, it is not easy to install Shiwei inside. It should be noted that the Jinyiwei had no foundation in Wacha before, and a few people from the Central Plains were in such a short period of time. Getting into the grassland within a short period of time and gaining the trust of some tribes is already very valuable. It is really not easy to get close to Wansongling and be selected by him as a guard without arousing the vigilance of Hashha and Mahamu.

Xia Xun took a deep look at Ji Gang. It's no wonder that this person is domineering and deceitful, but he is still favored by Zhu Di for many years. If this person is used properly, he is indeed an official.Before Ming Jun drove, there were no flattering ministers. Thinking about it carefully, none of the people in Yongle really won the favor by flattering their beards and flattering their superiors, whether they were civil servants or generals, or Chen Ying, the cruel official of the monitoring system. Whether it is Ji Gang or Ji Gang, they are all capable.

Xia Xun breathed out, and said: "Brother Ji can achieve such a record in such a short period of time is really admirable. However, if you want to do something big, these people can't influence the will of the leaders of Wacha. In the battle between Wacha and the shoe target, Wan Songling must be able to speak in Wacha. To make Wan Songling able to speak in Wacha, it is necessary to weaken Hashha, Mahamu, Taiping and Ba It is not easy for the four auxiliary powers of Tu Polo to do this.

Ji Gang said: "It's really not easy to do it step by step. Even if the journey goes smoothly, I'm afraid it will take 30 years. But if you use some extraordinary means, a stick of incense time is enough to achieve your goal!"

Xia Xun said with a frown, "Assassination?" Ji Gang proudly said, "That's right!" Xia Xun said, "Assassins themselves have never been able to become the fundamental force affecting the political system."

Ji Gang said: "I understand! But if the heir is undecided, and there is more than one heir, they must have a title, and this title can only be given to them by Wan Songling!" Xia Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said : "Mahamu and Hashha are both dragons among men, but one of them cannot control the right to speak in Wansongling!"

Ji Gang said viciously: "Then kill them both!"

Xia Xun hesitated for a moment and said: "The son of Mahamu, Tuo Huan, is deeply respected in the tribe, and he is the best candidate for Mahamu's successor!" Ji Gang took care of everything and said nonchalantly: "Then kill them all together." Already!"

Xia Xun said: "Then Wan Songling can control Waci?"

Ji Gang talked eloquently: "Taiping and Tu Polo are single and weak, and it is nothing to worry about relying on Mahamu and Hashha all the time. There are no outstanding talents among Hashha's sons. Hashha The favorite is Mrs. Huo'a, so Mrs. Huo'a has the most pastures, pastures, tribesmen and warriors among the wives of the Hashha tribe.

Mrs. Huo'a has always believed that the descendants of the golden family are the only possibility to unify the grassland and rejuvenate Menggu. She almost fanatically supports Wansongling. She was snatched by Hashha. The children still have no feelings for each other. If you add a condition of helping her youngest son to be the leader of the tribe, do you think she will follow Wan Songling's lead? "

Xia Xun let out a "huh" and said, "What about Mahamu?"

Ji Gang said: "Mahamu's only son, Tuo Huan, stands out. If both father and son die at the same time, the sons will fight for the throne, and there will be chaos. Among Mahamu's wives, Tuimu'er is Menggu Khan The daughter of Mahamu has the highest status. When she got married, the Great Khan gave her the most pastures, tribesmen and slaves, plus what she got after marrying Mahamu. Among the wives, she is also the most powerful.

On the grassland, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.Once Mahamu and Tuo Huan died, Princess Chamuer had the most say in the Ministry, and Princess Chamuer, like Mrs. Huo'a, supported the Golden Family the most.In addition, Benya Shili Khan, the elder brother of Princess Thamur, was abandoned by the Alutai Grand Master of the shoe target, and died at the hands of Waci, who is the enmity of the country and the family, who do you think she should have her heart for? "

Xia Xun asked: "What if the action fails?

Ji Gang said conceitedly: "One set of plans is not enough, so I will prepare two sets, three sets!"

Xia Xun asked again: "What if your identity is exposed?"

Ji Gang said affirmatively: "Assassins' identities will never be revealed. The dead men I have selected are all loyal: if their loyalty is unreliable, their parents, wives and children are still in my hands; They were not sent from the Central Plains, but went around the shoe target first, without evidence, who dares to challenge me, Daming, with only witness evidence? Moreover, they have no connection with each other, everyone is The puppets, all the threads, are in my hands."

Xia Xun closed his eyes and said slowly, "After the action, I'm afraid none of the assassins in charge will come back?"

Ji Gang laughed: "Where is the benevolence of the Duke of Fu? Since I was ordered to take over the Wacha business, I have drawn up some corresponding plans for various actions that the court may take. Regarding this assassination plan, I have already drawn up it now." Two sets, the first plan is called "Jing Ke! "What about the second plan?" "...Yi Shuihan!" .
