"The clan elders haven't sent anyone here until today. It seems they have really chosen to give up on Biao'er!"
Qizhou Governor's Mansion, the wing room in the east courtyard.
Princess Tongan said seemingly casually while fiddling with the tea cups on the table.
Wang Yu, who was sitting aside, frowned at this moment. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Five days ago, I sent a letter to my father and explained the pros and cons of this matter to him. , Today's aristocratic family is in a state of turmoil, and it is difficult to compete with the imperial court, and Li Zexuan is now a popular figure in the imperial court. He runs an academy, destroys aristocratic families, and fights against Turks. This son's future is limitless!
If we can use my cousin to form an alliance with Li Zexuan, it will definitely benefit the Wang family without any harm. My father has always been far-sighted and I believe he will be able to clearly see the pros and cons and convince the other elders of the Wang family to make the right choice! "
Wang Yu's father, Wang Bing, was a Situ in the former dynasty. After resigning as the head of the family, he joined the Wang family's clan elders and served as the chief elder.
Hearing this, Princess Tong'an frowned slightly. She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "But tomorrow is my cousin's wedding day, but none of the clan elders have come to Qizhou so far. This It means that they don’t agree with cousin’s marriage, and they no longer recognize cousin as the eldest son! It will be difficult for cousin in the family from now on! Master, do you think they will change Renyi to be the heir of the Wang family~? "
At the end of the sentence, Princess Tongan narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Yu with a half-smile.
Wang Renyi is also Wang Yu's son, but he was born to his concubine Cui Qinfang. To say that Wang Yu's concubine has a great background, she is from the Cui family of Qinghe!
How could the daughter of the Cui family marry someone as a concubine? That's because Cui Qinfang comes from the Cui family's side house, and has no sense of existence. Moreover, the Taiyuan Wang family is also one of the five surnames and seven looks. A well-known family for thousands of years married a daughter of a side house with no status to the head of the Wang family. Being a concubine is not considered a humiliation of status!
"No way!"
Wang Yu shook his head and said: "Renyi is too small-minded. He had enmity with Li Zexuan before and even offended half of the generals in the capital. Even if Biaoer is given up, it will not be Renyi's turn to take his place. In the clan, There are many talented people who are better than him!"
"Hmph! Now that the Cui clan of Qinghe has been destroyed, as long as those clan elders are not old fools, it is impossible for Wang Renyi to replace Dai'er!"
Princess Tongan's eyes were sharp and she said coldly.
Wang Renyi's biggest reliance in the Wang family is the Qinghe Cui family, but now that the Qinghe Cui family no longer exists, his reliance has turned into a fetter. As long as the elders of the Wang family do not want to be involved with the extinct Qinghe Cui family, He will never help Wang Renyi to take office!
Wang Renyi, who was looking forward to regaining his freedom and regaining power in Taiyuan, didn't know that with Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an, he had already been sentenced to "death" and would never be able to stand up again!
"Don't be so pessimistic yet, things haven't reached the point of irreversibility yet! After your cousin's wedding, I and you will go back to the ancestral home first and explain your cousin's affairs to the clan elders face to face, and then we will return to Sui Dynasty. state!"
Wang Yu looked at Princess Tongan and said softly.
Now that the imperial power is at its peak and no longer belongs to the aristocratic family, Wang Yu feels that the elders of the Wang family should be clear about it. Deposing Wang Renbiao will not only completely offend Li Zexuan, but also Wang Renbiao, who represents the royal family. This is extremely unwise!
"Well! Everything depends on the master!"
Princess Tongan smiled and said.
…………………………………………
It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.
Around Zi time, the Xuanjia army camped.
The group of people walked out of the camp quietly, dodging many waves of patrolling soldiers along the way, and finally arrived at the kitchen of Wuzi Camp.
At this time, except for those who were patrolling, all the other soldiers in the military camp had fallen asleep peacefully, so everything in the military camp seemed very quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the burning of torches and the chirping of insects and birds in the camp!
"Dali, where is the captain of Yiziying? You are not trying to trick us, are you?"
The group of people came outside the kitchen and saw that there was no one else here except them. One of the sergeants couldn't help but said angrily.
"That's right! Dali! Didn't you say that the captain of the Y-zi battalion would come? Where are we now? Are you kidding everyone? You must know that it is against military regulations to leave the camp without sleeping in the middle of the night!"
Another sergeant also said.
Yes, this group of people was the sergeants who had been injured due to training in Wuzi Camp in the past two days. After listening to Bai Shanhai's words, Ding Dali returned to the camp and secretly contacted some injured sergeants with whom he had a good relationship. Bai Shanhai and what he said were all told to the others again. Most of these people are upright people and don't have so many tricks in their stomachs. After hearing what Ding Dali said, everyone felt that it made sense, so they Then he sneaked out of the tent.
I just didn't expect to come here, but I missed it. Sun Tao was not here at all! This made everyone a little angry. You must know that they followed Ding Dali to sneak here, but they all took a big risk!
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer! Shan Hai won't lie to us. If we wait a little longer, Colonel Sun Tao will definitely come!"
Ding Dali was also a little frightened, but he still forced himself to calm down and comforted everyone.
"How long do we have to wait? If we come out for too long, we will definitely be discovered!"
The sergeant who was the first to speak retorted.
"That's right! We can't stay here for too long. When the fire chief finds out, we will be doomed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately echoed.
Ding Dali wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of the hot weather or because he was anxious inside. He pressed his hands and said: "Everyone be quiet! It will be bad if we attract patrols soon! Brothers, please stop." Wait here quietly for a while. If Sun Tao doesn't come in a quarter of an hour, can we go back? Then I, Ding Dali, will be at your disposal!"
"Okay! Then wait another quarter of an hour!"
The big man at the head pondered for a moment and said.
Everyone squatted down on the side of the kitchen and began to wait quietly.
"Did you see clearly? Is there anything unusual?"
Under a ginkgo tree not far away, Zhang Kangnian asked the sergeants on his left and right in a low voice.
It was Zhang Kangnian who carried out the alienation plan, so Sun Tao would definitely not come tonight. Zhang Kangnian is not only good at flattery, but also scheming. The most important thing is that this person acts extremely cautiously. Before coming forward to meet Ding Dali and others, he must make sure that there is no one else around. After all, what he is doing now is If Li Zexuan or Duan Zhixuan discovers this, he will be completely doomed!
"Captain, we have checked clearly. There is nothing unusual around us. These people Ding Dali brought should all be wounded soldiers from Wuzi Camp!"
The guard beside Zhang Kangnian bowed.
"Okay! Come with me!"
Hearing this, Zhang Kangnian breathed a sigh of relief. He walked out from behind the tree and walked towards the kitchen.
The dozen or so sergeants beside him immediately followed him.
"somebody is coming!"
Next to the kitchen, Ding Dali and others quickly noticed the movement here. Everyone was shocked and stood up one after another. They looked at Zhang Kangnian and others who were walking towards this side with wary expressions!
"Dali, it's me!"
Bai Shanhai, who was following Zhang Kangnian, spoke out at this time.
"It's Shanhai! Colonel Sun Tao and the others are here!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Ding Dali shouted excitedly.
God knows how much pressure he endured during the waiting period. Now that Bai Shanhai and others finally arrived, he was naturally extremely happy.
"Hmm? How come you are Captain Zhang from Camp C?"
When Zhang Kangnian and his party came closer, reflecting the moonlight, everyone soon discovered that Sun Tao was not among the group. The leader turned out to be Zhang Kangnian, the captain of the Bingzi Camp!
Everyone couldn't help but feel unhappy!
There is no other reason. Zhang Kangnian’s reputation in the Xuanjia Army is not good. Almost everyone knows how Zhang Kangnian became the captain of the C-character Battalion. For no other reason, he just relied on flattering Qiu Xinggong!
In the military, the strong are respected. People like Zhang Kangnian who have little ability and get to the position by flattering their superiors are the most unpopular. On weekdays, everyone is dissatisfied with Zhang Kangnian!
"Brother Shanhai, where is Captain Sun Tao and Captain Sun?"
Ding Dali also noticed that Sun Tao was not among the visitors, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
Bai Shanhai coughed lightly and explained: "Colonel Sun has something important to do tonight and is really unavailable, so I asked Colonel Zhang to come over! Don't worry, Captain Sun and we, Colonel Zhang, are both public-minded and righteous." He can't stand Li Shenjun's mistreatment of his soldiers. In this matter, Colonel Zhang will also treat your..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Kangnian said: "Brothers, Shan Hai is right. No matter what I, Zhang Kangnian, was like in the past, I am of one mind and heart with my brothers on the matter of overthrowing Li Zexuan! This matter has been in and out. It was all planned by Captain Sun Tao. He didn't want to see his brothers suffer and get injured under Li Zexuan. He was supposed to be here today, but Captain Sun Tao was temporarily busy and couldn't get away, so he asked me to come!
Don't worry, everyone, Colonel Sun Tao has told me all his plans. As long as you follow the plan, you will be able to drive Li Zexuan out of the Xuanjia Army. By then, you will no longer have to endure the torture of Li Zexuan's cruel training! "
The reason why Zhang Kangnian wanted to use Sun Tao's name to win over these sergeants of the Wuzi Battalion was mainly because he himself knew that his reputation in the Xuanjia Army was not very good, but Sun Tao was different. Sun Tao was highly skilled in martial arts and was an extremely good person. He is righteous and likes to take the lead when things happen, and he treats his soldiers very well. Therefore, Sun Tao's reputation in the Xuanjia Army is still very good!
Otherwise, Ding Dali wouldn't have turned against him just based on Bai Shanhai's words! Among them, Bai Shanhai's name as Sun Tao plays a big factor in it!
"Commander Zhang, tell me, what should we do next?"
A sergeant from the Wuzi Battalion said.
Zhang Kangnian smiled and said: "It's very simple. After you return to the camp, contact the other injured soldiers in the camp, be affectionate to them, understand them rationally, and let them join our camp;
On the other hand, you should also actively contact the other soldiers who are not injured, especially those who have a good relationship with you, and tell them that although you are injured today, it is very likely that it will be their turn tomorrow! According to Li Zexuan's training method, before the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks begins, at least half of your Wuzi Battalion will suffer casualties!
You have to make them feel the same and identify with you. Only in this way will they stand in the same camp as us! Do you understand? "
"Is that it? Captain Zhang?"
The sergeant who spoke first spoke now, with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
"That's right! What kind of strategy is this? How can you move to Li Canjun with just this?"
"Yes! Captain Zhang, what kind of plan is this?"
The others couldn't help but echoed.
Zhang Kangnian smiled and said: "Of course it's not just these. After you have contacted enough people, I will lead you to choose a time to mutiny! This mutiny in the army is not a trivial matter. The general will definitely pay attention to this matter by then. At that time, you will tell the general your demands. In this way, Li Zexuan will no longer be able to stay in the Xuanjia Army, and your Wuzi Battalion will no longer suffer the persecution of harsh training from now on!"
After hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"What? Mutiny? Mutiny in the army will result in beheading!"
Ding Dali stared, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The rest of the people also looked panicked. After all, they could just use their words to "draw people into the fold", but if they were asked to mutiny, they subconsciously refused, because since ancient times, the fate of those who mutinied in the military has been extremely miserable!
"Brothers, don't worry. Mutiny is just a means for you to express your demands, not a goal. Your goal is to drive Li Zexuan out of the Xuanjia Army! When the time comes, I and Colonel Sun Tao will also help you. If the general blames Come down, we and General Qiu will intercede for you! As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, and you are just expressing your demands reasonably, the general will not do anything to you!"
Zhang Kangnian naturally saw the worries in everyone's hearts. He pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice.
