When Yunze left the palace, Song Lin followed him all the way. At this time, she was no longer talking about others. Anyway, she returned to Yunze both physically and mentally. She was ready to follow Yunze all the time.
Yunze looked back at the palace gate and frowned deeply. He was also a little disappointed with Song Ji, although the favor given to him by the other party was indeed great.
But compared with the favor given to Gao Chang and Li Zheng, it is not worth mentioning. Even if these two people committed serious crimes, the emperor may not necessarily punish them.
How many things have the two of them done to harm the country? In the battle with the Khitan, if these two people hadn't done those stupid things on the side, Jingchao would not have lost to the Khitan.
"Yunlang, if you want to kill Gao Chang, Lin'er will help you!" Song Lin came to Yunze's side and reached out to hold Yunze's hand, her eyes full of worry.
Ever since Yunze came out of the palace, something was wrong with his expression. Song Lin felt it. She knew that Yunze was doing it for Gao Chang. Since Yun Zelu wanted to kill Gao Chang, she wanted to help Yun Ze.
With her status as a princess, she could still kill Gao Chang, but Song Lin might not be able to bear the consequences, even if she was the emperor's daughter.
"No need! I have my own sense of discretion..." Yunze stroked Song Lin's hair and shook his head. It is not difficult to kill Gao Chang, and the assassination is actually very simple.
But Yunze doesn't want to take this step yet. After all, if it is exposed, it will be very troublesome and may even make the emperor fear him.
If you dare to assassinate the court official, there is no guarantee that you will not assassinate the emperor. It is a serious crime to raise an assassin privately.
But Gaochang still had to find a way to kill him. Not only because he had to give an explanation to Lin Chong and others, but also because this guy was his enemy now, who knew what he would do to him behind his back.
Song Lin returned to Yun Mansion with Yun Ze. At this time, Yun Mansion was already deserted, with few servants and maids. These people were arranged by Jing'an Marquis for daily maintenance.
More than a dozen of Song Lin's female guards also came over. After arranging for Song Lin, Yunze went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw the housekeeper waiting for him at the door.
"Uncle, the prince is waiting for you inside... I will take you there." The housekeeper saluted Yunze respectfully.
His uncle's name made Yunze look slightly stunned. However, considering that the housekeeper is a confidant of the county prince's palace, it is not surprising that he would know something.
Entering the pavilion in the backyard, Danyang County Prince Song Rui was playing chess with Song Youwei. Seeing Yunze coming over, the two of them nodded to him.
Song Youwei's face showed a hint of shyness, and her eyes were full of surprise. At this time, she does not look cold and noble, but more like a woman in love.
When Song Rui saw his daughter's expression, a smile appeared on his face. He shook his head helplessly. He waved to Yunze and said, "Xiaoze, come here!"
Yunze heard this and walked over. He bowed his hands to Song Rui and said, "My nephew has seen..."
However, as soon as Yunze said these words, Song Rui interrupted him.
"You kid, you are still not ready to change your title! But you think my Song Rui's daughter is not worthy of you!"
Song Rui glared, seeming a little angry, but judging from his slight smile at Yunze, he was pretending to be angry. Hearing this, Yunze smiled and said, "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law!"
As he called father-in-law, Song Youwei's face became even more shy. She glared at Yunze and gave up her position.
"Sit here, father has something to say to you..." She said softly, the affection in her eyes getting stronger. Her affection for Yunze is deeper than when she committed herself to Yunze before.
Yunze nodded and sat down. He looked at Song Rui opposite.
"Ozawa, do you have a lot to say to me? In fact, I will tell you without you asking!"
Before Yunze could speak, Song Rui spoke first: "Actually, when I saw you for the first time, my father saw that you were extraordinary. The disaster was also a test for you. You did not disappoint me. As for I also know about you and Longtoushan..."
Speaking of this, Song Rui looked at Yunze with deep meaning.
Hearing this, Yunze smiled slightly without any expression. In fact, he had already guessed that with the ability of Song's reconnaissance department, if he didn't know what he was doing, then he really was not worthy of being the left prime minister.
"If that's the case, then why does my father-in-law still want me to join the court as an official, and why is he willing to marry Youwei to me!?"
Yunze looked at Song Rui and asked the doubts in his heart.
Song Rui looked at Yunze and nodded with satisfaction. At least, the character Yunze showed at this time made him even more satisfied. There was no surprise or defensiveness towards him.
"Actually, I want your talents to be used by the court. Although I am determined to correct the world, my ability is limited. However, you...as a father, I think you can do it."
"It's a pity that you don't want to be an official. In fact, my father also understands your plan. Because you have lost confidence in the court. You know that even if you come out, you can't change anything."
"Speaking of which, it's not like that for my father. When I took leave, I was tired of the court battles and tired of having nowhere to display my ambitions."
"Speaking of which, I have always thought that when a country prospers, the people suffer, and when the country dies, the people suffer, but I see the difference from you. Everything you have done in the fiefdom, let me know that the prosperity of the country, or not It won’t be painful.”
"So, I used my energy to cover up everything for you. King Kang wants to kill you, so I will protect you with all my strength!"
"Do you know why I established the Reconnaissance Department, and do you know what kind of organization the Reconnaissance Department belongs to!"
At the end of the sentence, Song Rui looked at Yunze with a sophisticated look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yunze nodded, then shook his head.
"My son-in-law can guess some, but I don't think it's complete."
"Oh, tell me what you guessed!" Song Rui looked at Yunze with interest.
"Is your father-in-law secretly supporting a certain prince? The reconnaissance department is preparing for the other party. And you think the other party may be able to realize your ambitions."
Hearing this, Song Rui smiled, shook his head, and nodded again.
"You are half right. The Reconnaissance Department was indeed established to realize our ambitions, but it was not to support a certain prince. Among all your princes, there is no one we can like!"
Hearing this, Yunze looked at Song Rui in shock. He heard from what the other party said. In other words, at least some of the officials in the entire court, and even in the Jing Dynasty, had joined the Reconnaissance Department. .
And their ideal is to change the world. In other words, they even have thoughts of rebellion.
Seeing Yunze's shock, Song Rui smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you think your father is going to rebel?"
"If I really want to rebel, I'm afraid I will succeed, but I don't want the people to fall into dire straits again. Rebellion will not solve the problem. In fact, I am waiting for a clear leader."
"Do you know why King Kang and King Ming want to rebel, and why the emperor doesn't care! In fact, it's not that he doesn't care, but that he doesn't know at all!"
Hearing this, Yunze looked at Song Rui in shock. He soon knew why Song Rui said that. Song Ji only focused on his art. How could he be interested in matters in the court?
I didn’t see anything happening to him, so he was in a dilemma! Do you have to rely on Song Rui, Li Zheng, Gao Chang and others for everything?
If Song Rui doesn't want him to know something, it's impossible for Song Ji who is staying in the palace to know. In addition, Li Zheng and Gao Chang may have been betrayed by the two kings Kang and Ming.
The emperor definitely had a dark look in his eyes. Even if you know something vaguely, it is absolutely impossible to know too much. No wonder King Kang and Ming dared to do so blatantly.
Yunze thought it was okay that Li Zheng and Gao Chang would do such a thing. After all, these two people only had their own self-interest in their eyes, not the people of their family and country.
But Song Rui actually did this, which surprised Yunze, but Yunze soon figured it out. Song Rui was afraid that Song Ji would not be saved.
If it is clean, Song Ji will continue to be mediocre. He needs a hero from Dajing. And this hero is King Kang or King Ming, and he doesn't even care if it's someone else.
He does not take the initiative to provoke a war. After all, if he provokes a war, he will not tolerate the suffering of the people. Moreover, he does not feel that he can succeed or do better than others.
He simply pinned his hopes on the chaos in the world. If the two kings Kang and Ming rebelled, the world would definitely be in chaos. At that time, a hero might emerge.
Heroes emerge from troubled times, and this has been the case throughout the ages. Their reconnaissance department may be prepared for that hero.
Yunze even understood why Song Rui was talking to him about this. He... was afraid that he wanted to train himself to become that hero. The other party saw hope in him.
In other words, everyone in the reconnaissance department he established has regarded Yunze as their leader. However, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Father-in-law... you won't..." Yunze looked at Song Rui and said with some uncertainty.
"You...you guessed it right. I want to hand over Youwei to you, and also the Reconnaissance Department that Youwei is responsible for. In addition to us old guys, the Reconnaissance Department has members from all over the place."
"In the future, how Dajing will develop and what it will become depends on you, father! Look after you! In fact, if you are unwilling to accept Youwei, I may not hand over the reconnaissance department to you. Well, they are all selfish."
Song Rui patted Yunze's shoulder, and when he said this, his voice was filled with sadness: "Now, I only have Youwei left! Sigh... speaking of it, back then, if it weren't for... your brother-in-law, I would have Won’t die!”
Hearing this, Yunze looked at Song Rui. He seemed to feel that the old man in front of him had aged a lot at this moment. The pain of losing a child is really not something that ordinary people can bear. Still old and bereft of a son. The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift.
Listening to the meaning of his words, Yunze vaguely understood that it was probably the death of his son that made Song Rui completely disappointed with the emperor and the world. Only then will the Reconnaissance Department be established.
When Yunze was sent out by Song Youwei, he was still in shock. He looked at the beautiful Song Youwei next to him, felt the sadness in her body, and hugged her gently.
"Do you want to know how my brother died?" Song Youwei looked at Yunze and said with a complicated voice.
Hearing this, Yunze stroked his head and said, "This is your sad thing. You don't need to tell me. As long as you are happy, that is more important than anything else."
When Song Youwei heard this, a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes. She caressed Yunze's face and said, "Fool, there is nothing I can't tell you. In fact, if it weren't for my brother's matter, my father would not have established the reconnaissance department."
"Six years ago, when my younger brother was fifteen years old, he joined the army and went to Sishui Pass on the Khitan border. We fought several battles with the Khitan, and our side won several battles in a row. Because of his bravery and outstanding military exploits, my brother was promoted to a vanguard general at the age of sixteen. . He even became the first pass guard."
"But in a battle with the Khitan five years ago, our army clearly had the advantage and even killed the enemy's coach. The person who killed the coach was my brother. However, several people led by Li Zheng and Gao Chang... We have to negotiate peace with the Khitan. My father knows that Li Zheng and Gao Chang have received benefits from the Khitan, so he will propose peace."
"Originally, if the war continued, it was even possible to recover the Yanyun Sixteenth Continent, but the emperor listened to Li Zheng and Gao Chang's slander and actually agreed to negotiate for peace. In fact, agreeing to negotiate for peace was nothing, but the Khitan insisted on letting the emperor kill my brother. To show sincerity.”
"This matter was discussed secretly by Li Zheng and Gao Chang with the emperor. They thought that their father didn't know, but how could he not know? As early as ten years ago, my father had already initially established the Reconnaissance Department. At that time, my father only wanted to Share the emperor's worries."
"So, my father knew what they were plotting. He thought that the emperor would not be so stupid as to listen to the shameless slander of Li Zheng and Gao Chang, but who would have thought that they... However, what they did was not obvious, and they directly let the Khitan attack At Sishui Pass, the court did not send reinforcements, and even planted spies in Sishui Pass. They opened the city gate. My brother resisted with all his strength. In the end... he was shot to death by thousands of arrows at the city gate... Five thousand soldiers at Sishui Pass, No one will survive!"
By the end, Song Youwei was in tears. Yunze softly comforted the person hugging him, his heart filled with regret.
He finally understood why Song Rui wanted to find another Ming master, and he did not expect Song Ji to be so stupid.
But having said that, judging from his desire to get Gaochang, Song Ji is really stupid. The army under his rule was also corrupt and invincible. The people live in misery and corrupt officials are rampant. The history is chaotic.
Song Ji also wanted to be a hero who opened up new territories and expanded the territory, but the opportunity was given to him. He was useless. If Song Rui's son had not been killed, or he might have recovered the Yanyun Sixteenth Continent.
This reminded Yunze of the same dynasty in his previous life. The national hero Yue Pengju beat the Jin Kingdom to the point of fleeing, but the emperor at that time had no intention of regaining the territory and only wanted to be safe.
In the end, in order to negotiate for peace, he even killed this national hero who could regain the country.
When something like this happened, Song Rui didn't directly rebel, he just tolerated it. It's no wonder that Song Rui became political enemies with Li Zheng and Gao Chang. Excluding the revenge of killing his son, these two black sheep alone make people want to kill them quickly.
The reason why Li Zheng and Gao Chang agreed to the Khitan and harmed Song Youwei's brother may also be because they were afraid that Song Rui and his son would grow stronger in the court and threaten their status.
"Don't worry, I will avenge this revenge..." Yunze said softly to Song Youwei.
Song Youwei nodded, and after being gentle with Yunze for a while, she watched Yunze leave. His eyes were full of reluctance.
On the other side, in Li Zheng's mansion, the newly built mansion was even more luxurious than before. Li Zheng met Gao Chang in the living room, followed by Tong Ming.
This Privy Council member later joined Li Zheng and Gao Chang's camp. Although he was considered one of the three giants in their camp, Tong Ming had the lowest status.
"How are you preparing?" Li Zheng looked at Gao Chang and asked.
Hearing this, Gao Chang nodded and said: "We have made preparations and should have started to implement them. That boy is too naive to want to use those idiots in Liangshan to bring down me."
"Since he wants to rely on these people, I will let them die in Kyoto first and cut off his arms first. I will see how he responds."
"Of course, it would be best if this matter can drag him down!"
Hearing this, Li Zheng shook his head and said: "This son is very popular in front of the emperor. I'm afraid that even if the evidence is conclusive, we can't touch him unless we send someone to assassinate him. But in the assassination in the capital, if something goes wrong, it will be very harmful to us." There’s no good in it. It’s better to cut off his hands and feet first.”
"Hmph... Then is it possible to take advantage of him this time? This guy wants to put me to death. If it weren't for the emperor's favor, I might be overthrown by him this time!" Gao Chang's face showed a trace of unwillingness.
"Master Gao, don't be anxious! If you want to kill him, there are plenty of opportunities. Don't forget, I have already reached an agreement with Zong Han. It won't be long before the Jin soldiers invade the country. Not only him, but even Song Rui, we will also be there." It’s served!”
"Do you still remember what happened at Sishui Pass five years ago? The Holy One is afraid of war, so he just wants to let the Jin soldiers capture a few more cities. The Holy One will definitely want to negotiate a peace. What if the Jin Kingdom's peace negotiation condition is to ask for the heads of Yunze and Song Rui? !”
Li Zheng looked at Gao Chang and Tong Ming playfully.
As soon as he said these words, the two of them took a deep breath and looked at Li Zheng in shock. They did not expect that Li Zheng would come up with such a vicious plan. Just like five years ago.
Even if the emperor really loves Yunze and Song Rui, if he encounters such a military attack that may destroy the country, he will definitely give up at the first opportunity. It is very likely that he will really agree to Jin Guo's request.
In the end, Song Rui was killed on an unfounded charge. Yunze might even send it directly to the Jin people, who would kill him personally. Just like when he killed Song Rui's son.
They sent Song Rui's son to the Khitans and made him die miserably.
If something like this succeeds once, it can succeed a second time. Of course, before that, the Liangshan generals who had been conquered by Yunze were killed first.
Only in this way could Yunze die at the hands of the Jin people without any controversy. Otherwise, with the help of these people, it would be a bit troublesome to kill Yunze.
The two of them also considered the relationship between Song Lin and Yunze. They knew that even if the emperor wanted to kill Yunze to appease the Jin Kingdom's anger, he would not be able to find any groundless charges.
The only thing is to send Yunze to the battlefield of Jin Kingdom.
As for how to frighten the emperor into suing for peace, they certainly have many ways to do it. They can just let the border troops lose a few more battles. This is not the first time they have done such a thing anyway.
Five years ago, wasn’t it like this?
