Chapter 669
Joining forces with Mo State to send troops to destroy Ning was something Tang Yin never expected, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
But then he thought again, and he was a little discouraged. King Mo Shao Ting was too indecisive and capricious. He had promised Ning Guo to send troops to Feng Guo together, but in the end, the army was stationed on the border between the two countries and no action was taken. .
Forming an alliance with someone like Shao Ting is like putting a knife in your back, and you can stab yourself at any time.
Seeing that Tang Yin had no confidence in joining forces with Mo Guo, Gao Liangjie smiled and said: "King Mo can't be trusted, but King Mo's second son Shao Fang is a man with great ambitions, and I heard that the king and Shao Fang have a close personal relationship. , If the king can help Shao Fang sit on the throne of King Mo, and Feng Mo forms an alliance, the joint effort to destroy Ning will be a certainty. "
Tang Yin's heart moved, his eyes flashed, and he said faintly: "Mr. Gao means..."
"King Mo died suddenly, and the second son Shao Fang ascended the throne!" Gao Liangjie said with a smile.
Although Shao Ting was old, he had no illness or disaster and was living well. How could he die suddenly? The meaning of Gao Liangjie is obvious, let Tang Yin use shady means to get rid of Shao Ting and push Shao Fang to the throne of Mo King.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looked straight at the highlight, and said nothing for a long time.
Gao Liangjie's proposal made Tang Yin keenly aware that it was not hopeless to destroy Ning, and it was not impossible to join forces with Mo State, but the matter was so important that he did not dare to make a hasty decision.
He was silent for two or three minutes, then smiled, nodded, and said ambiguously: "Mr. Gao's insights are very unique, and I understand."
As he spoke, he stood up, looked around at Gao Liangjie, Wen Hao, and Tang Yu, and said, "The three gentlemen are all knowledgeable people of our Dafeng. Do you want to stay in the court as an official and serve the country? "
Hearing this, Wen Hao and Tang Yu both cheered up, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Gao Liangjie did not thank him immediately, but stuck his head and asked shamelessly: "I wonder what official position the king wants to give to this villain?"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. He had never seen anyone like Gao Liangjie before. He pondered for a moment and said, "How is the Prime Minister's history?"
The Prime Minister Chang Shi is a civil official directly under the Right Prime Minister, equivalent to the Assistant to the Right Prime Minister, and his official rank is the third rank.
Gao Liangjie was just an ordinary civilian. He was suddenly promoted to the third rank of Prime Minister Chang Shi, which was considered an exceptional promotion. However, his face still showed disappointment and he reluctantly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin shook his head and smiled, but he admired Gao Liangjie's straightforward character. Later, he appointed Wen Hao as Yushi Zhongcheng and Tang Yu as Sikou Chief Shi. Similarly, Wen Hao and Tang Yu also had the rank of third rank.
After the three of them resigned, Tang Yin paced back and forth in the study, thinking about what Gao Liangjie said in his mind.
After much deliberation, he still couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately asked Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao to urgently summon Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan.
It was already late at night, but after receiving an urgent summons from Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and others did not dare to delay, and hurried to the palace to meet Tang Yin.
After all four people arrived, Tang Yin told the four people exactly what Gao Liangjie had speculated.
After listening to Tang Yin's words, the four of them were also shocked. Sichuan and Zhen were entangled with other countries to join forces to fight against the wind. Is this possible?
These four people are all people with quick thinking and outstanding strategies. They can tell the truth at once. As they carefully thought about Tang Yin's words, the faces of the four people became more and more gloomy. It was obvious that they also believed that this possibility was not impossible.
Finally, it was Qiu Zhen who said: "Your Majesty, I thought that Sichuan and Zhen would not let it go, but I never thought that they would join forces with other princes to fight against the wind. I don't know which gentleman proposed this to your Majesty. Warning?"
Of course Qiu Zhen would not think that this was Tang Yin's own idea. It must have been given guidance by an expert, so Tang Yin urgently summoned the four of him to discuss the matter.
Tang Yin said: "It's Highlight Festival."
"Gaoliangjie?" Except for Shangguan Yuanji, no one knew who this Gaoliangjie was. Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan all looked confused.
Shangguan Yuanji explained: "The king issued the order of acceptance. Gao Liangjie is one of the wise men in Shangshu. The king summoned him today!"
"Oh!" After his reminder, Qiu Zhen and the others remembered that the king had indeed summoned three sages, and it turned out that Gao Liangjie was one of them.
Qiu Zhen nodded and said: "Mr. Gao's concerns are not unwarranted, nor are they impossible. Your Majesty, you should make preparations as soon as possible!"
Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan all nodded and agreed with Qiu Zhen's statement.
Even the four of them believed that it was possible for the countries to join forces to fight against the wind. Tang Yin frowned even deeper. Then, he told the countermeasures proposed by Gao Liangjie and discussed with the four of them whether it was feasible.
Assassinate Mo King Shao Ting, help Shao Fang ascend to power, and then unite with the Mo Kingdom to destroy Ning and stabilize the southwest and southwestern parts of the Feng Kingdom. This strategy was so shocking that when Tang Yin finished speaking, the room in the study became silent and people's hearts beat faster. , lowered their heads in unison, silently wondering whether this strategy would work.
After half a cup of tea, Qiu Zhen finally asked: "What do you think of Mr. Gao's plan?"
"This..." Tang Yin clasped his hands behind his back, wandering in the center of the study, and said quietly, "I think it's worth giving it a try."
"What if we fail?" Qiu Zhen asked: "Whether Sichuan and Zhen two countries attack by themselves or entangle other countries to attack, it will take a long time to prepare. Our country can also use this time. Recruit troops and prepare for war. Once the assassination of the king fails and the matter is revealed, it will surely arouse public outrage in Mo. The Mo army will immediately launch a retaliatory attack on our country. Sichuan and Zhen will not let go of such an opportunity and will definitely take advantage of it. Come, then our country will be in danger of no return!”
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded. Judging from the current situation, the risk of assassinating Shao Ting is too high. If it succeeds, it will be fine. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zong Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "Wei Chen feels that as long as the preparations are sufficient, the chance of success is very high, but the king must make an agreement with someone in advance."
"who?"
"Shao Fang."
"oh?"
"If the king wants to assassinate Shao Ting, he must get help from Shao Fang. Only if Shao Fang is willing to help the king can he have a chance of success, but..."
Zhang Zhe continued: "But Shao Ting is Shao Fang's father after all. It is much more difficult to persuade a son to kill his father than to persuade his ministers to kill the king!"
Zongyuan raised his head and said quietly: "Although Shao Fang is favored by Shao Ting and has the tendency to be established as the prince, Shao Ting is capricious. As long as he does not sit on the throne for a day, whether he can become King Mo will depend on it." Variable. I met Shao Fang when I went to Mo State with the king. He was ambitious, very ambitious, indifferent to family ties, and had a strong heart. He was also wary of his father, Shao Ting, and persuaded him to assist the king in assassinating Shao Ting. It’s not impossible to ascend to the throne immediately.”
Everyone knew that Zong Yuan was good at perceiving people's hearts. What he said made Tang Yin feel inspired.
He stopped wandering, rubbed his chin, and murmured: "It seems that it is necessary for me to meet Shao Fang."
Shangguan Yuanji asked: "Does the king want to give up the peace negotiation with King Ning early next month?"
Before Tang Yin could speak, Qiu Zhen said first: "We must not give up on the peace negotiation. No matter whether our country wants to recharge its batteries to prepare for war or join hands with Mo to destroy Ning, the peace treaty should be signed first to stabilize Ning and secretly Plot something else.”
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "What Qiu Zhen said is reasonable, but the meeting with Shao Fang cannot be delayed..."
Qiu Zhen rolled his eyes, chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty, you can use the old method - pretend to be sick!"
Tang Yin blinked and became happy, and said: "I suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. I sent a minister to Zhanghe to sign the peace treaty, while I went to meet with Shao Fang secretly."
Qiu Zhen nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Tang Yin raised the corner of his lips and called Shangguan Yuanwu to find Letian immediately.
Both Tianyan and Diwang have spies in Modu Zhenjiang. The appointment with Shao Fang must be kept secret. It is best for the secret agents of Tianyan or Diwang to convey it.
Not long after, Letian hurried to the study. Tang Yin didn't say anything to Letian. He just asked him to quickly send a letter to Fei Ge, the spy in Zhenjiang, and asked him to send a letter to Shao Fang, saying that the Wind King Tang Yin was going to be here between the two. Meet him at the border of China.
Lotte was very surprised to suddenly receive such an order from Tang Yin. Didn't the king go to Zhanghe to sign a peace treaty with Yan Chu? Why are you going to have a private meeting with Shao Fang at the Fengmo border again?
He didn't understand what was going on, but Lotte didn't dare to ask any more questions. He agreed and hurriedly took the order and left.
After Letian left, Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan continued to have secret discussions in the study. It was not until daybreak that the five people's discussions came to an end, and everyone went back to their residences to rest.
If Tang Yin wanted to avoid signing the peace treaty by claiming to be ill, there was a problem that had to be solved, and that was Yan Yinghan, the second princess of Ning who stayed in the palace. After much deliberation, Tang Yin could not come up with a good solution. After all, if he was ill, Wu would It is impossible for Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi not to come to visit, and Yan Yinghan has a close personal relationship with Wu Mei, so it is very likely that he will find out the truth from Wu Mei.
Finally, Tang Yin thought of someone who could stay in the house and pretend to be sick instead of him, the exquisite girl Yuan Ziyi.
Yuan Ziyi can change randomly, so it is not a problem to change into his appearance, and since she is a woman, she is not afraid that she will take advantage of Wu Mei and others when she dresses up. The only trouble is that Yuan Ziyi must recover her aura when using random change. Once she escapes, it will be troublesome.
He specially came to Cheng Jin to discuss the matter. Cheng Jin was very confident about this, patting his chest and promising that even if Yuan Ziyi regained her spiritual energy, he would have a way to prevent her from escaping.
