The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 60

Xing Kang's attack was as fast and ruthless as before.

As soon as he learned the news of Gu Zizhan's "death", he immediately sent a secret letter to Emperor Tianshun.By the time the news spread all over the world through the mouth of Emperor Tianshun, even before Chu Lan reached the south of the Yangtze River, he had already stirred up turbulent waves in the north of the Yangtze River.

However, it was within Gu Zizhan's expectation that he would act like this.Sure enough, it is Xing Kang's nature to take advantage of your illness to kill you!

Gu Zizhan knew that he was clearly trying to take advantage of the fact that Jiangbei's official position was at a disadvantage this time, and then put a knife in King Yu's heart.Not only can he please Emperor Tianshun, but he can also take advantage of the situation to make a fortune!At that time, both fame and fortune will be gained, and he will take advantage of it all by himself.

As for Gu Zizhan, being able to take the opportunity to get rid of her, for Xing Kang, also removed stumbling blocks and worries.First of all, Gu Zizhan is the heir of King Yu, and if he is alive, he is destined to disrupt his whole plan, and if he dies, he can also hit the power of King Yu.Secondly, in fact, Xing Kang also knows that Gu Zizhan is thoughtful and decisive, the longer he stays, the more troublesome it will be for him.So even if Emperor Tianshun didn't let him do anything to Gu Zizhan, he decided to take the risk and act first.

Gu Zizhan also expected this early in the morning, so he just decided to plan and ordered Li Xiangjun to make arrangements in advance, so that he could escape the golden cicada and go to the south of the Yangtze River.

After going to Qingjiang County that day, three people left Guanyi in the dark.Gu Zizhan saw clearly that it was Chen Yushi, Jiang Yushi and Xing Kang.

Chen Yushi, Tao Xiu and Zhu Hongke, the county magistrates of Qing and Mei counties, were all members of King Yu.Even more than half of the officials in Jiangbei's officialdom, large and small, were involved with King Yu.Gu Zizhan already knew all this.The purpose of these people is also according to King Yu's arrangement, to blame Xing Kang for the problem of grain and grass.So, Chen Yushi rushed to have a secret meeting with Zhu Hongke overnight.

As for that Jiang Yushi, it was only because he was keen on accounts that he found out that there was something wrong with these granaries, so he followed Chen Yushi at night.

It's just that the two censors didn't find out, their traces had already been fully exposed in Xing Kang's eyes.

Gu Zizhan couldn't help laughing when he thought of what King Yu had said to her before leaving.King Yu wanted her to get rid of Xing Kang, but he didn't mention his arrangements for people like Chen Yushi, because he neither trusted nor valued Gu Zizhan.After all, it was because he had been going smoothly for too long that he lost his original vigilance.

Therefore, when Xing Kang asked her to visit the official warehouse in Meijiang County at night, Gu Zizhan knew in his heart that that night was the time Xing Kang chose to send her "on the road".

Because Master Wang belonged to Xing Kang, Gu Zizhan took advantage of the situation and "died" in his hands, which could reassure Xing Kang even more.Only if Xing Kang has no worries anymore, then he can let go and entangle with King Yu next.

What Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan were waiting for was this opportunity!

Because no one thought that according to the news from Luan Nan's investigation half a year ago, those private soldiers raised by King Yu were not in the southwest, but they were in the south of the Yangtze River!

At that time, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan arranged for people to sneak into it, and it was almost time to close the net.Only when Xing Kang distracted King Yu's attention at this time, and then disturbed his mind with the news of Gu Zizhan's life and death, everything they wanted to do could be realized.

Zhu Hongke only thought that Xing Kang was trying to help him, but who knew that he was just a bait on Xing Kang's fishing rod.

Before Xing Kang left, he went to Emperor Tianshun to ask for the badge of imperial envoy, and he had planned early in the morning to stir up some wind and rain in Jiangbei.

On the day when the official warehouses in Qingjiang County were filled, Jiang Yushi had already led the soldiers to surround those prefectural and county government offices that had borrowed food from Qingjiang County.It turned out that these were Xing Kang's goals.He never paid attention to the small counties of Qing and Mei!

Zhu Hongke was able to borrow food, not only because of his own relationship, but also because of the previous way of King Yu.He didn't dare to spread the news that he had joined Xing Kang, so a series of officials of King Yu in Jiangbei only thought that he was being made things difficult by Xing Kang and encountered danger.In order not to implicate himself in Zhu Hongke's disaster, they generously borrowed food.

As a result, the official warehouses in Qingjiang County are full, but the official warehouses in those prefectures and counties are much empty.When Jiang Yushi and others go over, open warehouses, check accounts, and do one set, it is natural to catch one accurately.

All of this was within Xing Kang's calculations.Surrounding the points to fight for reinforcements, the focus is naturally on these "reinforcements".

Xing Kang took advantage of these people, and used all the tricks he used against Zhu Hongke.

Those with softer bones will naturally be wooed, while those who are not obedient will become chickens who are killed by him to make an example of others.In this way, it is natural that whatever evidence he wants, there will be any evidence.

Suddenly, the sky in Jiangbei changed completely.

**********

Just as Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan had expected, King Yu, who was far away in the capital at this time, was already in a state of desperation.

Ever since Gu Zizhan went to Meijiang County, no news came back, and even the trace of Chen Yushi disappeared.King Yu, who had been in court for decades, immediately understood that this was definitely not a good omen!Not long after, he received the "news of Gu Zizhan's death", which made him even more confused!

What frightened him the most was that he had sent many people to find out about Gu Zizhan's whereabouts, but they found nothing.Thinking about it deeply, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.Unable to hold back any longer, King Yu ordered people to quickly find Taoist Priest Yuanxu.

At the same time, Hun Erduo, the little prince of the Rong tribe who was still in the capital, also caused him a big trouble.

Although the King of Yu and the Rong people knew very well that Hun Erduo came here this time not only to bring words and beatings to the King of Yu, but also to stay here as a hostage.After all, the Rong people were not as cunning as King Yu, and Hun Erduo was used to being bold and arrogant, so he couldn't hold back his temper and ran forward, but he didn't expect that the hostages on King Yu's side hadn't left for a long time.

This annoyed Hun Erduo.

Although he was taken to a courtyard in the city for a temporary stay by King Yu, he also sent people to guard him secretly.But Hun Erduo didn't come alone, he was accompanied by more than 20 Rong warriors.

Just when King Yu was fidgeting about Gu Zizhan's whereabouts, the steward of the other courtyard hurried over and brought a shocking news - Hun Erduo was captured by the Jingzhao Mansion!

When King Yu heard this, he almost spit out blood in anger.

Seeing the stewards of the other courtyard trembling there, King Yu hated him so much, he stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, cursing: "Trash! There are only twenty people, but you can't stand it! Those guards are all dead ?"

The steward was lying on the ground, kicked in the chest by King Yu, unable to speak for a long time, and couldn't help crying in his heart, but no, with Hun Erduo's charge, those guards were almost all dead.

After panting for a long time, the steward spoke intermittently: "My lord, my lord, when they escaped from the other courtyard, they beat and killed many guards. When the guards went to intercept them on the street, they started fighting again and implicated many of them. Passers-by. These Rong people are all like bulls, the formation is too big, and the guards can't stop them at all! Jingzhao Mansion and Wucheng soldiers and horses have all come, and it took a lot of effort to get Hun A few people from Erdo took it."

King Yu's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked: "Then why did it end up in the hands of the Jingzhao Mansion? It is better to be captured by the Wucheng Bingmasi than the Jingzhao Mansion!" He knew in his heart that the Wucheng Bingmasi belonged to The Ministry of War, including many of his people, is much more convenient than the Jingzhao Mansion to suppress this matter!After all, although Fifth Ming was getting old and was becoming increasingly unpopular with Emperor Tianshun, his hard bones hadn't changed at all.

The steward burst into tears, obviously he also understood this, "Jingzhao Mansion was the first to arrive, and they took him down in the end, so they took him away from Wucheng Bingmasi! "

King Yu was so angry that he fell back on the armchair, and cursed in his heart: Floating years are not good!Immediately, he gritted his teeth fiercely, couldn't hold it any longer, swung his sleeves, and smashed all the decorations on the table.

After that, he stood up and made up his mind.

That night, all the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion who were also imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion were poisoned to death.They were all in casual clothes and had nothing to prove their identities.

The fifth inscription ordered Wei Duo, who joined the judicial army, to examine it carefully, and found one from the gap between the short boots of these people, which symbolized the auspicious cloud pattern of the Eastern Palace.

**********

This news arrived in Jiangnan only one day later than Chu Lan.

Gu Zizhan, who was lying comfortably, picked up the secret letter from the East Palace, and just after reading it, he smirked, flipped the letter paper over and buckled it, and shouted in front of Chu Lan, "Alan, Alan, come and guess!" Guess, this time, how will the prince brother plan to deal with it?"

Chu Lan smiled slightly, "If you eat a pit, you will learn a lot of wisdom. Your Highness is no longer Amon under Wu."

Gu Zizhan laughed loudly, leaned into Chu Lan's arms shamelessly, looked up at her and said, "There is no such thing as you, I let you guess, but you use these big words to fool me!"

Chu Lan pushed her away, and couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "You are the one who is unreasonable!"

Gu Zizhan immediately quit, holding back his mouth and muttering dissatisfiedly: "Alan is so mean to me."

Chu Lan thought it was funny, and raised her hand to smooth her hair, with a hint of slyness on her lips, "I can guess as well, if I guess right, I have to give me some credit."

Gu Zizhan sat up, and then heard Chu Lan continue: "I haven't thought about this lottery for a while, and I will tell you when I think about it. Then, you must not go back on your word."

Gu Zizhan showed embarrassment, "Then, why don't you stop guessing?"

Chu Lan laughed.The room full of emotion is like spring / water ripples in circles, flowing into the heart.

Covering Gu Zizhan's mouth that was about to speak, Chu Lan chose to reveal the answer directly. "Your Highness is smart. Those in the past were just hesitation born of kindness. Now, after tempering, I have become much more determined."

"Now in this position in the East Palace, it's better to be quiet than to move. With you and me supporting him outside, he doesn't need to do anything. When the time comes, this crisis will naturally be resolved. Besides, those people of the Rong tribe are in the fifth Mingshou In fact, it is more reassuring."

All in all, the most critical point is still with Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan.The prince knows this and trusts them, so naturally there will be no more troubles.As for who will be involved in the East Palace, the crown prince no longer worries about it - except for those people he cultivated later, the rest are irrelevant to him.

After Chu Lan finished speaking, she looked at Gu Zizhan, held back her smile and said solemnly: "This should be what was written in your highness's letter, but did I hit it?"

Gu Zizhan glared at her angrily, "It's what you say. But there's no chance, there's only one picky old man here."

Chu Lan couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing.
