How can ordinary people plan such a sophisticated strategy?
Although Fu Yanqing knows that there are many talents in this era, there are really no famous figures in this era, especially those who are good at strategy.
Because this era is still known for its strength in force. Although the world has been in conflict for decades, Fu Yanqing knows that there are only a few people who can truly lead the world! He felt sad in his heart because Guo Rong was indeed a talent. If he had not died, the world would have been his sooner or later.
But now it cannot be assumed, because Guo Rong is dead. Fu Yanqing knows that he has no certainty whether the Guo family can hold on to this world!
Not to mention the vassal towns in dozens of states in the Central Plains, even though the Zhang Yongde in front of him has never shown his talent, but when the time comes, who can guarantee that he does not covet the throne?
Not to mention his own influence in the court, Fu Yanqing knew that there were several military governors who were close to him. And his uncle Zhang Jun once served as the military commander of Luozhou. Although his position was not high and his status was not prominent, he had a lot of people around him because of his father and grandfather's posthumous title and Zhang Yongde's status in the Zhou Kingdom.
This time Zhang Jun was slaughtered by everyone, which was related to the extremely high status and treatment he enjoyed, and also to Zhang Yongde's identity. This contained a huge secret, which prompted Fu Yanqing to change his previous thoughts.
At the beginning, Zhang Jun also rationally withdrew from officialdom and bought a manor outside the capital to live in retirement. He lived a pleasant life. Unexpectedly, now a disaster has occurred inexplicably, and the entire family has been killed.
It is said that some time ago, he fell in love with a widow who gave birth to a son. This matter seems a bit unfounded, but Fu Yanqing knew that it would not be that simple. Although he escaped inexplicably, he has not been found yet.
When Fu Yanqing received the news, he also sent people to conduct a thorough investigation and search, but naturally there was no result. Among them, the Zhang family, especially Zhang Yongde himself, will naturally send out many people, but they have not seen Zhang Jun yet. They don't know the reason and why these things happened suddenly.
Zhang Yongde has always given people a sense of benevolence and filial piety. How will he handle this matter in the end? If Guo Rong had not died, the Zhang family might not have shown its power. Now that Guo Rong is gone, no one knows how Zhang Yongde will handle it.
"Strictly monitor the Prince Consort's Mansion. If there is any sign of trouble, we will take immediate action. No matter who he is, we must take preemptive action against any threat to the palace!" Although Fu Yanqing's voice was calm, it sounded a bit cold.
At this time, in a larger secret room somewhere, Zhao Kuangyin was sitting in front of the desk with a gloomy and pale face. There were five people sitting on both sides of him, all with serious faces, and everyone looked at him in silence.
Zhao Kuangyin's expression was solemn and thoughtful, but he had always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, so even though he frowned, he still had a bit of righteousness. However, because the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, he looked at everyone thoughtfully and silently, as if he was thinking about something in his mind, his eyes constantly wandering.
"Your Majesty, the city is not stable today. Keep an eye on Zhang Yongde to see how he reacts!" To his left was a middle-aged man with a calm face, but he was only wearing an ordinary scholar's attire. Seeing that his aura was completely restrained, he just sat there. He was as stable as a mountain, and he was no ordinary person.
In recent years, Zhao Kuangyin has been surrounded by various characters, and he has attracted many talents with his righteousness and heroism. However, he doesn't like to show off, and with someone on hand to give guidance, he becomes more and more aura of a superior.
It is naturally difficult for outsiders to know the secret here. Everyone gathering here obviously has some things they don’t want others to know.
It seems that although this man is calm and composed, he is actually dressed in the attire of an ordinary scholar. And even in the secret room, he deliberately lowered his voice when speaking. It must be that everyone gathered here has something to hide.
But even in the face of these people, he, a man dressed as an ordinary scholar, actually sat in the first place on Zhao Kuangyin's left hand. Presumably in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes and even in the eyes of these people, he was a person of extraordinary weight.
He looked at Zhao Kuangyin without making a sound, and couldn't help but glance at the lean scholar opposite him. This lean man was just like him, and he was also dressed as an ordinary scholar, but his eyes were moving, with a dark light that captured people's soul. It was obvious that He has good skills.
The other party just glanced at him, and there was eye contact. Although they didn't speak, they seemed to understand each other's meaning.
"These brothers are all looking at the envoy now. The master of our sect was able to let a certain family, Junior Brother Chu Wei and all the fellow apprentices come to make the envoy obey orders and promote the success of this big operation, just in the hope that the envoy can quickly Take action!" He asked Zhao Kuangyin, but there was no politeness in his words.
"Now that victory is in sight, the envoy suddenly backed down. Not only this sect is puzzled, but also a certain family is deeply puzzled by Brother Zhao!" His tone had a drawl, showing his inner dissatisfaction.
His words were a bit presumptuous and rude, which made the other three people present frown. These three people were obviously not in the same line as them, and had a very close relationship with Zhao Kuangyin.
Two of these three people were wearing soft armor and casual clothes, while one was wearing a scribe's robe. One of them on the left had an angry look. This young general with a beard was about to get angry after hearing his words. The young man next to him dressed as a scholar seemed to be calm enough, but he waved his hand to signal him not to be anxious.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin's eyelids trembled, and there was an imperceptible light in his eyes. Although there was a trace of anger in his heart, after looking at the middle-aged scholar with a longing face, he smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't want to It means anxious.
Finally, his eyes fell on the well-dressed scribe next to him, the bearded young general who had just taken the initiative to stop him. He said to him inquiringly: "Brother Zeping, a certain family came back from this adventure. Although it was an action. Strategy! Now it seems like it was a mistake!”
This scribe who looked to be about the same age as Zhao Kuangyin was his aide Zhao Pu. He was a native of Jixian County, Youzhou in the north. He was a famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty in later generations. He always regarded himself as ruling the world with half of the Analects of Confucius. At this time, he was still unknown, just an unknown secretariat next to Zhao Kuangyin.
However, it is obvious that Zhao Kuangyin trusts and relies on him and has become his closest partner. This magnanimity is naturally admirable.
