[Chapter 2068 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (23)]
The assassination failed even when Han Yuxi was unprepared, which made Yan Wushuang very annoyed.
Meng Nian explained: “Lord, it’s not that our people are incompetent, but that Han’s luck is too good.”
“Failure is incompetence.” He only looks at the result, not the process. The ability of the people who are not enough to send this time is really only average. If they send top killers, they will succeed.
Meng Nian didn’t dare to say a word.
Yan Wushuang asked, “Has the tail been swept clean?”
Meng Nian hurriedly nodded and said, “All arrangements have been made. They won’t suspect me, they will only think that the Song family did it.” It happened that Yun Qing and Han Yuxi had hatred against the Song family, so they would definitely believe this conclusion.
In fact, Oak-hee didn’t believe it was the Song family at all. If the Song family wants to kill Yunqing, why should they kill her? If you kill her, Yun Qing will be able to marry again.
When Meng Nian heard that Yan Wushuang was going to send a killer, he persuaded him, “Lord, our people can’t reach Han Yuxi.” The last assassination had already shocked the snake. After that, Han Yuxi would not go out easily, even if he went out, he was surrounded by guards like clouds.
There is no way to get close, and there is no way to talk about assassination.
Speaking of which, Meng Nian admires Han Yuxi, and she manages the Yunfu like an iron bucket. The mouths of the servants in the house are like mussels, very strict.
Yan Wushuang thought for a while and said, “Through Han Jianye, there is a chance to get in touch with Han Yuxi.”
Hearing the use of beauty tricks, Meng Nian said, “My lord, Han Yuxi is pregnant now, wouldn’t it be better to use beauty tricks for Yun Qing!” If Yun Qing favored other women’s couples’ separation, then they would not have to worry.
Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and said, “Yunqing is not a lecherous person. Otherwise, he would not have had a woman by his side for so many years. Besides, he is rigid and loyal, not stupid.” Yunqing’s current situation is very difficult Dangerous, if you are not careful, you may be killed by the Song family. At this time, how could he possibly get a concubine to make Han Yuxi separate from him. What’s more, Huo Changqing wouldn’t watch him do stupid things when he was there.
Meng Nian hurriedly turned the topic to Han Jianye: “Lord, even if Han Jianye is in the scheme, our people may not be able to see Han Yuxi.”
Yan Wushuang didn’t dare to be 100% sure about this kind of thing: “It depends on our luck.”
At this time, Zhao Huan, Yan Wushuang’s confidant, reported back from the outside: “My lord, there is a letter delivered to the capital.” After Yan Wushuang had the capital, he sent people to Beijing. At first, it was to inquire about news, and then slowly infiltrated the power into the palace and the Song family.
The letter said that the Seventh Young Master of the Song family had fallen in love with the youngest daughter of Master Du, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and wanted to take her as the ninth concubine. The girl didn’t want to, so he wanted to snatch it home, but was beaten by the girl’s brother, Du Xian. In fact, Du Xian didn’t do any heavy lifting at that time, and Song Qi was left to lie down for three or five days at most. Unexpectedly, Song Qi died that night when he returned home.
The Song family said that they wanted Du Xian to kill him to pay for his life, but the Du family naturally did not want to say that Song Qi was not killed by their son. If you don’t believe me, ask for an autopsy. It’s a pity that the Song family refused to let it go, but insisted on Du Xian’s life.
The two families got into trouble, and finally the Song family sued the government. The governor of the capital did not dare to arbitrarily judge the matter, so he could only take the case up to the sky and let the prince make a decision.
The emperor has long ignored the state affairs, and now it is the prince Zhou Xuan who supervises the country. Normally, he should let the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice or other honest and honest officials try the case. If the trial finds out that Du Xian killed Song Qi, a verdict will be made. But Zhou Xuan did not let anyone try the case, and directly sentenced Du Xian to death.
Du Shilang was a loyal royalist, but he fell ill immediately after this blow. After Du Xian was beheaded, he followed. And the Du family returned to their hometown with the bones of the two.
Putting the letter down, Yan Wushuang said with a smile: “Zhou Xuan’s unbiased partiality to the Song family is a good thing for us. In this way, when it is revealed that he and the Song family colluded with the Donghu people to cause the tragedy in Liaodong, people will no longer doubt it. “With such a big handle being held by the Song brothers, Zhou Xuan naturally wants to favor them.
In recent years, the brothers of the Song family have ruled out dissidents to win over officials, and with the expansion of the Song family’s power, the people of the Song family have bullied men and women in the capital and robbed them. However, no one dared to care. But the more the Song family was like this, the happier Yan Wushuang was, and he even hoped that the more arrogant the Song family, the better. Because of this, it will only hasten their death.
Meng Nian did not comment on this, but sighed: “In the end, it is the common people who suffer.” Meng Nian is an ordinary squire’s family, so he has a special understanding of the life of the people at the bottom. In disaster years, without the help of the imperial court, many people starved to death, not to mention these troubled times. In Liaodong alone, a large number of people starve to death every year.
Yan Wushuang said: “In a chaotic world, people are like grass.” The current situation in the world was not caused by him. And he has no intention of being the savior.
“I hope the lord can end this troubled world soon.” Working with Yan Wushuang, he always felt that his brain was not enough. Therefore, he firmly believes that after their uprising, the world will be none other than Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang said lightly, “I just want revenge.” He was not interested in being the emperor, but if he wanted revenge, he could only overthrow the Zhou family.
Meng Nian said: “My lord, your great revenge will soon be avenged.” The emperor is incompetent and treacherous ministers are in power, and the Zhou Dynasty is now in jeopardy. As long as his master waved his arm and rushed into the capital, he would be able to take revenge.
A few months later, news came from the northwest that the assassination they sent had failed. In fact, it can’t be regarded as a failure, after all, Han Yuxi almost died prematurely.
Meng Nian said with some regret: “It’s only a little bit.” It would be great if he died directly in childbirth.
Yan Wushuang looked at the northwest direction and said, “Have you ever heard a saying that if you don’t die in a big disaster, you will have good luck.”
Money can make ghosts run the mill, and since he received the protection of the Yan family’s die-hard loyalists, he began to cultivate his own power. The Killer Organization and the Dark Guard were two of the forces he formed.
Meng Nian smiled and said, “It’s just a folk proverb, it shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
“Han Yuxi is not a person who waits to be killed. This time she almost died and she will definitely take action when she recovers.” Just like him, he is not a person who is willing to sit in place and be beaten passively.
Meng Nian hesitated and said, “My lord, do you think Han Yuxi would suspect us?”
“What about the suspicion?” He was afraid of Han Yuxi’s suspicion before, because he was afraid that it would be difficult to start after he was exposed, not because he was afraid of Yuxi’s revenge.
After speaking, Yan Wushuang said: “Even if she suspects, she can’t take revenge now. The most important thing is to develop her own power.”
It’s just that Yan Wushuang never thought that his assassination would actually stimulate Yun Qing, causing him to rebel.
Meng Nian didn’t believe it at first when he got the news. There is a saying that Jiangshan is easy to change and its nature is hard to change, and that stubborn Yunqing would be the first to rebel. This, this is unbelievable.
Seeing that Yan Wushuang did not speak, Meng Nian cautiously called out, “My lord…”
Yan Wushuang came back to his senses and smiled and said, “It’s good.”
The imperial court has long lost control of the local area, and the local officials who hold real power in the territory have always violated the instructions of the imperial court. But even so, no one dared to rebel. Yun Qing broke this delicate balance, and the world soon became cloudy.
Seeing this, Meng Nian asked, “Lord, should we push you behind the back?”
“Throughout history, the first to raise troops is always the fastest to die. Therefore, there is no need to do much.” The reason for this is that even if the imperial court is to kill chickens to warn the imperial court, it will gather the strength of the whole country to destroy it. And even though Yun Qing had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, there was a strong enemy of Beilu outside, and there was the imperial court’s encirclement and suppression inside. At most half a year, the family would have to die in Huangquan.
Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang said, “It seems that I overestimated Han Yuxi.” If it was him, he would have to wait until he had accumulated enough strength before starting the army.
Meng Nian also agreed with this statement: “Wu Dao people are short-sighted and don’t think far enough forward.” Yun Qing, however, listened to Han Yuxi’s advice.
That being said, Yan Wushuang and Meng Nian are still paying attention to the northwest all the time.
Yunqing killed the corrupt officials and confiscated the wealth of the wealthy officials, but did not harass ordinary people at all. However, Yunqing did not run away after robbing the money, but sought out a reputable official or a country gentleman to temporarily handle one side’s affairs. Each city would also leave a confidant and some soldiers to maintain local security.
Seeing these news, Yan Wushuang held the letter for a long time without saying a word. Judging from these things Yun Qing did, it was a long-standing intention, not an impulsive attack.
Meng Nian also thought of these things, and said, “My lord, this Han family has long been against his will.” Yun Qing was surrounded by strong generals like clouds, but there were no powerful advisors. Therefore, what Yun Qing did could only be Han Yuxi’s plan.
In this regard, Yan Wushuang is not at all surprised. He had known for a long time that Oak-hee wasn’t the kind of person to wait and see. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get along well in the Duke’s Mansion without being loved by her grandmother and biological father. If it wasn’t for that demon concubine, she would have married into a high family and lived a pampered life.
Meng Nian said: “My lord, since you have prepared well, you should be able to last a little longer.”
Yan Wushuang looked up at the blue sky above his head, and said lightly, “With Han Yuxi’s ingenuity, how could she not have thought of what we can think of.” So it’s too early to draw a conclusion.
No one expected that Yunqing would occupy the northwest in just a few months. After occupying Haocheng, Yun Qing did not continue to fight.
Meng Nian said suspiciously: “Taiyuan has always been a battleground for military strategists, why didn’t Yunqing take the opportunity to occupy Taiyuan?” He didn’t understand the matter of war. But the importance of Taiyuan, but few people do not know.
Yan Wushuang said with a very complicated expression: “Yun Qing and Han Yuxi should want to occupy the northwest first, and then they will take care of others when they gain a firm foothold and become the king of the northwest.”
I remember that on the way to escape, Xu Bo said that he once suggested that his father take Liaodong into his hands. In this way, you will not be afraid of persecution by the faint-hearted ruler and the traitorous ministers. Unfortunately, his father not only did not agree, but also reprimanded Uncle Xu.
Meng Nian was startled: “The Lord means, Yun Qing, no, Han wants to take over the whole world.” If so, then this woman’s ambition is too great.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: “It depends on whether they can pass the two hurdles in front of them.” The first hurdle is the imperial court’s encirclement and suppression, and the second hurdle is the invasion of the northern prisoners after the beginning of spring. As long as these two levels are not passed, Yun Qing and the Han family of four will die without a burial.
Meng Nian asked, “My lord, do you think they can pass these two levels?” Once Yun Qing and Yu Xi took control of the entire northwest, they would definitely come to seek revenge.
Yan Wushuang pointed to the blue sky above his head and said, “It depends on its intentions.” There were soldiers and horses of the imperial court encircling and suppressing the invasion of the northern captives, and it is logically impossible for him to succeed. But in this world, what everyone thinks is impossible to succeed, some people have succeeded. Therefore, whether Yun Qing can become the king of the Northwest depends on God’s will.
After some time, Yan Wushuang was talking with Meng Nian when he heard Zhao Heng replying from outside: “My lord, there is a letter from Tongcheng.”
Yan Wushuang read the letter and said, “Dashan is injured and unconscious, I have to go to Tongcheng.” Qiu Dashan is one of the few people who can be trusted wholeheartedly. Now that he heard that he was in a coma, how could Yan Wushuang not be anxious.
Meng Nian said, “Lord, I’ll go with you!” Tongcheng is Tong Chunlin’s territory. Let Yan Wushuang go to Tongcheng alone, he is worried. Now, Lord, there is no room for a little mistake.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, “You have to stay here. If there is anything, you can deal with it in time.” Tang Bo was getting older, and he didn’t want to make him work any more. Therefore, these trivial matters can only be handed over to Meng Nian.
After finishing speaking, Yan Wushuang said again: “You don’t have to worry about me, I’ll be fine.” I didn’t kill him back then, but now it’s wishful thinking to kill him now.
Even if he was worried, Meng Nian did not dare to refute Yan Wushuang’s decision.
On the same day, Yan Wushuang set off for Tongcheng.
It was also on the same night that Meng Nian received news that the imperial court would dispatch 50,000 elite soldiers from Tongcheng to encircle and suppress Yunqing.
Meng Nian couldn’t help scolding her mother now. Although Tongcheng has 200,000 soldiers and horses, a lot of people are killed every year in battle, so the elite soldiers are 130,000 to 40,000. 50,000 elite soldiers were dispatched to quell the rebellion. Once the Beilu people knew that their army was overwhelmed, they would not be able to stop it. The tragedy that happened fifteen years ago will be staged again in Liaodong.
After calming down, Meng Nian quickly wrote a letter to Yan Wushuang. Liaodong is their base camp, but nothing can change.
Five days later, Meng Nian received a reply from Yan Wushuang. When I opened the letter, I saw the word ‘no harm’ written on it.
Although I knew that Yan Wushuang didn’t like too much writing, the only two words in a letter made Meng Nian speechless.
Within two days, Meng Nian heard that Tong Chunlin was unwilling to dispatch 50,000 elite soldiers to quell the rebellion. No sane person would agree.
Meng Nian sighed and said to himself, “It’s a pity that you are the enemy of the lord.” Otherwise, he really wanted to draw this person over, but he could only think about it. Tong Chunlin killed the Zhang family, and the revenge for killing his mother was never shared. Yan Wushuang would definitely avenge his mother.
