I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Zhou Xu has been doing business in Guazhou City. He is familiar with everything in Guazhou City and knows more about Fu Junheng’s personality. After hearing what Lai Ji said, he shook his head and said, “Mr. Lai, it is not that I deliberately poured cold water, but Fu Junheng was promoted by Su Dingfang. It is almost difficult to counter Fu Junheng, especially to let Fu Junheng deal with Su Dingfang in turn. “

paused, Zhou Xu continued: “Fu Junheng and others, earlier, did not look down on Su Dingfang, but he has been convinced by Su Dingfang. In particular, he is upright and clean, and he is quite fair in dealing with things. It is quite difficult to persuade such a person to surrender.”

Lai Ji said: “Zhou Xu, I am not routinely instigating a rebellion, nor am I taking the initiative to instigate a rebellion. This time, it is necessary for Fu Junheng to not surrender. Surrender. This is what I want to do.”

Zhou Xu said: “Mr. Lai means to intimidate Fu Junheng.”

Lai Ji smiled and said: “That’s what I mean. “

Zhou Xu said silently for a while: “But how are we going to coerce Fu Junheng? Fu Junheng is a long history of Guazhou. He is powerful and has guards by his side. Let’s take it quietly. Fu Junheng, it’s not easy.”

Laughed and said: “I said, it’s not a routine rebellion, so you don’t have to worry. You know Fu Junheng’s father. I will take Fu Junheng’s father first. , And then it was to counter Fu Junheng.”

“Wonderful!”

As soon as Zhou Xu heard it, there was a pause for an instant, and an expression of admiration appeared on his face and said:” Mr. Lai is really a clever calculation and hit the nail on the head. Fu Junheng is a very filial person, and every morning and evening, he will go to his father to ask for greetings. If Fu Junheng’s father is in our hands, then it will be easy for us to coerce Fu Junheng into doing things.>Laiji said: “Yes, that’s what I mean. What I want to do now is to take down Fu Junheng’s father. You are in charge of the news in the city and talk about how to take down Fu Junheng’s father.”

Zhou Xu seemed quite excited, and continued: “Mr. Lai, this Fu Junheng’s father is about 60 years old and has a good body. He has a habit of going out of the house to Yanzi Lake in the city after having lunch every day. Yanzi Lake is a slightly larger lake in the southeast area of ​​Guazhou City. The connecting river runs through Guazhou City and is a branch of the Mingshui in Guazhou. However, the river is very shallow, but the water is clear, and there is another lake next to Yanzi Lake. In some shade, many old people are playing chess and chatting under the shade. Fu Junheng’s father has nothing to do and has to go to play chess every afternoon.”

Lai Ji said: “This is the opportunity! “

paused, Lai Ji said: “Zhou Xu, you can arrange tonight, after tomorrow afternoon Fu Junheng’s father will go out, your people will be arrested. Remember, you can’t hurt anything. “

Zhou Xu said from his own channel: “Mr. Lai, don’t worry, it’s just a matter of capturing a trifling Senior. The problem is not big. I will arrange this to ensure that the task is completed. “

Let’s help and say: “That’s good. “

Zhou Xu said: “Mr. Lai sneaked into the city at night. He must be very tired. Let’s rest early. If you have nothing to do tomorrow morning, you can go out and stroll around. I promise that I will bring people over in the afternoon. “

Lai Ji said: “You don’t need to go out to hang out, it is easy to leak news. Zhou Xu, you also go to rest early. Tomorrow afternoon, I am waiting for your good news. “

“Yes! “

Zhou Xu immediately responded.

After he agreed, he first sent Ji and Muldo to rest, and then he rested by himself.

Lai Ji, Zhou Xu and the others were all ready, they slept soundly, but Su Dingfang on the gate tower was nervous and worried about the safety of Guazhou City, so at night they were not sleepy and still wanted to fight. During the day, he had arranged for someone to rush the news of Hou Junji’s defeat.

Before, there was news of the failure to assassinate Du Qi, and then the news of Hou Junji’s defeat. Su Dingfang can imagine Li Shimin’s anger, he must be extremely disappointed and angry.

It is precisely this night, the news of the assassination failure has been sent to Cháng’ān.

On the big night, Li Shimin has already fallen asleep.

Tang Zhen got the news sent back by the sentinel. He heard the sentinel say that it was involved in the assassination of Du Qi by Western Regions, so he didn’t dare to delay the time, so he immediately entered the bedroom. Cautiously called Li Shimin up.

Li Shimin said with sleepy eyes: “What’s the matter? “

Tang Zhen said: “His Majesty, the Northwest Longyou Road Emergency Report, was sent back by Su Dingfang. “

When Li Shimin heard it, he turned over. Tang Zhen quickly put on a thin shirt for Li Shimin, and then handed over the letter. Li Shimin looked a little hastily, and quickly opened the letter. I saw the news about the assassination failure in the letter.

Li Shimin’s cheek was twitched.

He looked cold.

Failed!

Li Shimin slightly hesitated, he stood up and said: “Proclaim the decree, call Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng into the palace. “

“Yes! “

Tang Zhen immediately arranged.

Then, he waited for Li Shimin to put on his shirt and go to the side hall. Now it is summer, and the weather is hot, fortunately in the side hall at night , It’s quite cool, not particularly hot.

Li Shimin sat down and thought about the failure of the assassination. Time passed. When there was a sound of footsteps, Li Shimin looked up and saw Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who came together, saluted Li Shimin and took their seats.

Li Shimin straight to the point said: “I just received the news from Su Dingfang, Hou Junji The assassination of Du Qi’s layout at this time has already failed. “

Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng have all changed.

The expressions are quite serious.

Du Qi is not a good thing, and After touching Du Qi’s tiger butt, it is very easy to cause shocks. Zhangsun Wuji’s expression is even more embarrassed. When Zhangsun Chong returned to Cháng’ān, he once said that Du Qi had brought something and said that if Great Tang would deal with Du again When the time comes, Zhangsun Chong may be taken hostage by Qi.

Last time, Li Shimin won the memorial from Su Dingfang. When discussing how to deal with Hou Junji’s actions, Zhangsun Wuji once suggested to sit still. I think I can give it a try. Although Zhangsun Wuji is not proactively dealing with Du Qi, Hou Junji’s shot against Du Qi is equivalent to Great Tang’s dealing with Du Qi. Once Du Qi is shameless, he has to let his son go to Western Regions to do it. Hostages, the situation is not good.

Li Shimin said solemnly: “Let’s talk about it, what should I do now? “

Wei Zheng said: “His Majesty, I won’t say much about the usual questions. Too much, His Majesty also hates. What Chen wants to say is that the only thing that can be done now is to calm Du Qi’s anger. Once Du Qi attacked Great Tang, the consequences would be disastrous. So right now, we must stabilize Du Qi. “

“His Majesty, the minister opposes! “

Fang Xuanling heard Wei Zheng’s suggestion, but he directly opposed it, with an expression of disapproval.

Li Shimin said: “What does Xuanling mean? “

Fang Xuanling said: “As the center of the world, Great Tang should not take the initiative to apologize to Du Qi. Chen suggested that for the time being, wait and see the changes. In addition, we have to rely on Du Qi plot against Tibet. It is not suitable for us to take the initiative to send troops. Look at Du Qi’s reaction. Then, follow the trend. “

Li Shimin said: “Xuan Ling’s suggestion is good, I agree with this analysis. “

Zhangsun Wuji said: “His Majesty, the minister also agreed with Chancellor Fang’s suggestion. But Chen believes that there are two things to do right now. First, arrange for someone to closely monitor the situation on Longyou Road and report it in time. Second, prepare for the mobilization of the army. Once the Western Regions changes in Guazhou, they will immediately send troops to respond. “

Li Shimin said: “Wuji’s suggestion is good, just like that. The three of you will come down and discuss it again and make the matter settled. “

“Yes! “

The three of them all responded.

Because it was late at night, the three of them did not stay long, so they got up and left.
