Shao Xi heard Zhao Hongjin's question and looked around the hall.
His move immediately made the officials in the hall become nervous, for fear that his eyes would stop on him. Whoever he looked at at this time would be in trouble. Whoever he pointed out for assassinating foreign missions would be in trouble. Can't even tell.
But after Shao Xi looked around, his eyes didn't stop for a moment on anyone, but turned back to look at Zhao Hongjin.
"Replying to the Holy Master, my envoy has fought against the group of assassins. Those assassins advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, cooperated with each other tacitly, and the weapons they used were all of the same style. They are not like those killers who are paid to kill people in the world. Like soldiers who came from the military. One of them in particular has a very special swordsmanship. It is obvious that a person who has used swords all year round changed his weapon in order to hide his identity, but his swordsmanship revealed many swordsmanship. He has a habitual movement, and this person's martial arts is already above the fifth level, and his moves are fierce and ruthless. He doesn't look like an ordinary swordsman in the world of martial arts, but rather like a soldier who has experienced battles on the battlefield."
As soon as Shao Xi said this, the officials in the hall were in an uproar.
Assassins are soldiers in the army. Besides Fu Zuoliang, who else has the power of the army in this court? Only Fu Zuoliang can mobilize troops and horses to the Jiakou Valley at any time.
Most of the time, everyone is tacitly aware of the affairs of the court, and there are some things that they know clearly but pretend to be ignorant, but everyone knows in their hearts that Xu Yinbiao, the commander of the Black Flag Guard, was inexplicably beaten thirty times by Fu Zuoliang two days ago. .
This incident happened to happen after the mission entered the city. It seems to have some causal relationship with the previous assassins' attack on the mission. In addition, Fu Zuoliang strongly opposed the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Rumors in the DPRK and China had begun that Fu Zuoliang ordered Xu Yinbiao to assassinate secretly. He was so angry that he slapped Xu Yinbiao.
Some well-informed people have discovered that people from Xu Yinbiao's family have appeared in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past two days, seemingly to deliver a message. These things that were not clear to begin with have become even more confusing and confusing after being added to by interested people. Lian Lian.
The most coincidental thing is that Xu Yinbiao's junior brother Han Xiao, who is also Han Zeng's nephew, happens to use a sword, and he is the same fifth grade as Xu Yinbiao.
Putting so many coincidences together, after some people's speculation, it was completely interpreted that Xu Yinbiao was ordered by Fu Zuoliang to assassinate the mission. The reason why he changed the weapons was to hide his identity and to take the opportunity to tell the story. He framed Han Xiao and pointed the finger directly at the prime minister, Han Zeng.
Han Zeng originally behaved mildly and low-key in the court, leaving an impression on the ministers as a virtuous prime minister. In addition, after everyone made such contacts and explanations, everyone believed that the matter was caused by Fu. What Zuo Liang did.
This effect was exactly what Han Zeng wanted to achieve before. Han Zeng arranged for Han Xiao to assassinate him, and specifically asked him to add sword skills to his own sword skills during the assassination, deliberately letting Shao Xi find out.
First put yourself in a position of being suspected, and then gradually turn the object of suspicion to Fu Zuoliang through various detailed analyses, so that you can perfectly cover up the truth that you framed Fu Zuoliang.
I have to say that Han Zeng's arrangement was indeed clever enough. Unfortunately, Shao Xi was not fooled. Instead, he discovered Han Zeng's conspiracy.
When Zhao Hongjin heard what Shao Xi said, she deliberately looked at Fu Zuoliang, but Fu Zuoliang remained silent and drank his own wine, as if what they were talking about at the moment had nothing to do with him.
But it was precisely because of Fu Zuoliang's reaction that everyone present thought that Fu Zuoliang was pretending to be calm or that he didn't care because he was extremely arrogant, and they were even more convinced that he had done this.
But at this time, there is no evidence to say a thousand things, everything is just everyone's guess. Even if Fu Zuoliang is the most suspicious, no one dares to say that Fu Zuoliang did this. Putting aside the fear of making a mistake, even if he really did it, anyone who wants to stand up and question him must first weigh their own weight and think about whether they will suffer retaliation from him.
At this time, Shao Xi and Zhao Hongjin did not speak anymore. They were waiting for Han Zeng to react. So, why are they so sure that Han Zeng will react at this time? This has to be said about Shao Xi's ingenious arrangements made in advance, which was a plan of bitter flesh and false surrender.
Originally, Fu Zuoliang did not instruct Xu Yinbiao to assassinate the mission, but now he was beaten. Xu Yinbiao sent his family to send a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express his intention to surrender to Han Zeng.
The reason is that Fu Zuoliang learned that the captured assassins insisted that they were ordered by him, and that the leader was Xu Yinbiao, so he mistakenly thought that Xu Yinbiao knew that he was opposed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and took it upon himself to lead people to attack the mission in order to show off in front of him. He wanted to take credit, so I slapped him. Xu Yunbiao felt that he was wronged, but Fu Zuoliang did not listen to his defense, so Xu Yinbiao decided to switch to the Ming Dynasty and join the Prime Minister Han Zeng.
Now that he has surrendered to Han Zeng, in order to prove his sincerity, he must cooperate with Han Zeng to frame Fu Zuoliang and stand up to prove that Fu Zuoliang ordered him to do the assassination. In this way, Fu Zuoliang has no way to defend himself. After all, Xu Yinbiao was his If his confidants can now stand up and testify against him, no one will believe him.
Shao Xi's arrangement was based on a complete grasp of Han Zeng's psychology, knowing that he would not let go of such an excellent opportunity. At the same time, through this matter, Xu Yinbiao was able to gain Han Zeng's trust so that he could lurk by his side for a long time to wait for the critical moment in the future. Enabled at all times.
Therefore, if Shao Xi's plan does not go wrong, Han Zeng should have carried Xu Yinbiao out at this time to confirm the attack on the mission, and pour this pot of dirty water on Fu Zuoliang.
Just as Shao Xi expected, Han Zeng stood up from his position and walked slowly towards the center of the hall.
Shao Xi laughed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, every link in his plan was so smooth and developed completely according to his own script. If this continues, the court of Southern Zhao will eventually fall apart and fall apart, and will never be able to do it again. pose any threat to the southern border of the Jingyuan Empire.
This is a series of interlocking schemes. From the perspective of Nan Zhao Chaotang, Shao Xi pretended to cooperate with Han Zeng, but in fact, he used various means to hide the truth with the little emperor and Fu Zuoliang. The final target to be dealt with was Han Zeng .
From Shao Xi's own perspective, he helped Zhao Hongjin and Fu Zuoliang get rid of Han Zeng, and at the same time deliberately alienated the relationship between Zhao Hongjin and Fu Zuoliang, instigating Zhao Hongjin to take the opportunity to take back the military power in Fu Zuoliang's hands.
After such operations, the two pillars of Southern Zhao disappeared from the court, leaving the little emperor Zhao Hongjin. However, due to his previous actions of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, it was difficult to get the loyal assistance of the ministers in the court, and he was alone ever since. The wood is hard to support.
For the Jingyuan Dynasty, such Southern Zhao was not a problem.
In the whole thing, Han Zeng was actually only on the first floor, the second floor was Shao Xi, Zhao Hongjin and Fu Zuoliang, the third floor was Shao Xi and Zhao Hongjin, the fourth floor was Shao Xi, and there was a fifth floor That is Xiao Changyi, the emperor of the Jingyuan Empire.
The reason why Xiao Changyi asked Shao Xi to go to Southern Zhao as an envoy was largely because he knew that this guy would cause trouble wherever he went, and he would definitely cause chaos in the Southern Zhao court.
From this point of view, the gap between Han Zeng and Xiao Changyi is not even a little bit. How can a prime minister of a small southern border country be compared with the emperor of the Jingyuan Dynasty of the Central Plains?
While Han Zeng was staring at power, Xiao Changyi's eyes were all about the world of Jiuzhou.
At this time, Han Zeng walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Zhao Hongjin, and went straight to the topic as Shao Xi expected.
"Report to the Holy Lord! Since the attack on the Jingyuan mission in Jiakou Valley has been mentioned at this time, I have something to report to the Holy Lord, and this matter is also related to the attack on the mission."
At this moment, Zhao Hongjin knew better than anyone else what Han Zeng was going to say and what he was going to do. Just to keep up with the drama, Zhao Hongjin stood up pretending to be surprised.
"What the Prime Minister is about to say is actually related to the attack on the Jingyuan mission. I wonder what it is? Prime Minister, tell me quickly."
Han Zeng glanced at Fu Zuoliang intentionally or unintentionally, bowed and said: "Two days ago, Xu Yinbiao, the commander of the Black Flag Guard, sent his family to the old minister's house to deliver a letter, saying that he wanted to meet the old minister, but he was beaten because of the punishment of the general. After thirty pieces of work, he was lying on the couch and had difficulty moving, so he asked the old minister to come over and talk. After Lao Chen went there, he learned from Xu Yinbiao that it was General Fu Zuoliang who ordered him to take people there to assassinate the mission. Because he made a mistake and the matter was exposed, he was punished. Xu Yinbiao felt that it was against military regulations and laws to assassinate foreign missions, but now he was punished for no reason. He felt unhappy, so he exposed Fu Zuoliang's actions with his old ministers, and I am willing to testify as a witness in person. I have here the testimony written and stamped by Xu Yinbiao himself. If the Holy Spirit wants to question him in person, I will immediately send someone to Xu Yinbiao’s home and carry him to Pinglan Hall to confront Fu Zuoliang.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole Pinglan Palace exploded with a "boom".
Some people in the civil and military circles of the dynasty immediately stood up and accused Fu Zuoliang of violating the imperial code and being a traitor. Some people said they couldn't believe it and thought it was unbelievable. Some even yelled at Han Zeng for talking nonsense and framed him. But more people were They were whispering to each other and talking in low voices. In short, the whole scene was chaotic.
Most of the people who jumped out to accuse Fu Zuoliang were people from the Wenchen Group who sided with Han Zeng, and those who scolded Han Zeng were mostly military generals from the Wuchen Group. The most common ones were those who sat on the fence. No one on either side wanted to offend, so they could only whisper in a low voice. , wait and see the development of the situation.
At this time, Fu Zuoliang reacted. He slapped the case with his big hand, stood up angrily, pointed at Han Zeng and cursed.
"Han Zeng, you are a shameless person. You know what you have done better than anyone else, but now you are blaming me for it. You have ulterior motives and are shameless. You are such a shameless villain."
Shao Xi looked at Fu Zuoliang and said, "Best actor, please accept my knee!"
