Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 105 New Year's Eve Horror (2)

Guan Ziyang hid in the closet, heard the conversation between the two clearly, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Shi Kun really wanted to make trouble!

The depth of the conspiracy was that the plan had already begun before he was descended to the Jin Dynasty.

At this moment, Guan Ziyang didn't dare to show his anger. If he exposed himself, he would definitely die.

"No, didn't Shi Kun count me as one of them?"

"In history, Shi Kun died in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but will it change because of me!"

"This idea is very dangerous. Didn't you hear Shi Kun call Chu Suanzi a two-legged sheep? In the eyes of Jie people, Han people are livestock that are lower than sheep, they are food!"

This can't help but arouse Guan Ziyang's anger, the Han people in the Central Plains, ten out of ten, the Shi family should take the overall responsibility!

Otherwise, there would be Ran Min Tuhu!
Fortunately, Guan Ziyang had inadvertently learned of Shi Kun's overall plan. As long as he could make preparations early, no matter how good Shi Kun's martial arts were, he would certainly not be able to make waves.

……

Shi Kun and Yao Chang didn't chat for too long, Yao Chang got up to leave.

"My lord, I will go back to Liangzhou right now and tell my brother, see you on New Year's Eve!"

"General Yao, be careful all the way, see you on New Year's Eve!"

……

After finally leaving, Guan Ziyang saw the opportunity and sneaked out of the room.

As soon as Guan Ziyang left, Shi Qi came back and found that there was no one in the closet. Luckily, his father didn't discover the secret passage.

Guan Ziyang left the small courtyard and was about to climb over the wall when a loud voice sounded.

"Since the governor is here, why don't you see me before leaving!"

The murderous aura coming from behind made Guan Ziyang look like a prey locked by a hunter, and he didn't dare to move.

After calming down, Guan Ziyang turned around and said, "Master Hou, it's actually all a misunderstanding, I..."

Shi Kun laughed: "The governor doesn't need to explain, I didn't treat you as an outsider, but this matter is very involved, so I ask the governor to stay at my house for a year."

Guan Ziyang smiled and said: "It should be like this..."

At this time, Shi Qi also heard the voice of the conversation between the two, and followed the voice.

"Daddy, I brought Mr. Guan in here."

Shi Kun waved his hand: "It's fine for a good girl to bring her sweetheart as a guest at home. Daddy just has some things to talk to your Mr. Guan Lang alone."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Guan Ziyang: "Guan Dudu, let's go, let's go into the study to chat."

Seeing that his father was not angry, Shi Qi walked away wisely.

Guan Ziyang followed Shi Kun to the study.

"Captain, tell me, how much have you heard?"

"All."

"The governor is so courageous, you don't think I really dare not kill you, do you?"

Guan Ziyang thought suddenly: "Master Hou, you are short of manpower. With me, your success rate can be increased by at least 2%."

"Since you know everything, you should also know what I think. I don't know what the governor thinks about you."

"I don't want high officials and generous salary, as long as you promise to hand over Yizhou to my Guan family, I will help you wholeheartedly!
With me here, neither Xie Yi nor Xie An will be your stumbling block anymore. "

"I'm really not afraid of them, and I don't need your help. If it spreads in the future, it will be bad for your reputation.

To be on the safe side, it is enough for the wronged governor to stay in the Hou's mansion for a few days. "

Guan Ziyang nodded knowingly: "Since the prince doesn't believe me, then I have no choice but to spend a new year in your mansion."

Shi Kun left the study and ordered his subordinates to lock the study.

……

Guan Ziyang was secretly worried.

We have to find a way to notify Xie An!
But now it is very difficult for me to think of this study...

In this way, Guan Ziyang was imprisoned by Shi Kun in the Hou Mansion. Two days later, Shi Kun opened the study.

"Nephew, I met Xie An yesterday, it seems that he is just a name."

Guan Ziyang secretly thought something was wrong, unexpectedly Xie An was not Shi Kun's opponent, and this Shi Kun was not a saint either, he and Xie An were both in the upper realm of the first rank, why was there such a big gap.

Now I can only hope for myself.

Guan Ziyang's biggest advantage now is his strength. Shi Kun only regards him as a second-rank martial artist. Although he has a first-rank combat power, he has no blood martial arts.

Shi Kun must have thought that he could be manipulated at will.

Guan Ziyang replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my nephew will wait for you to achieve great success."

Shi Kun was very happy: "Hahaha, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, and my nephew is really my good son-in-law!"

After all, he locked the study again and left.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Yiqing and Qing Chan came to the Hou Mansion and asked Shi Qi where Guan Ziyang was going.

Only then did Shi Qi learn that Guan Ziyang had been locked in the study by Shi Kun for the past two days.

He went to ask his father why, but Shi Kun didn't answer, but told her not to worry about it.

When her father's tone was harsh, Shi Qi did not dare to be arrogant, although he was puzzled, but Shi Kun gave her the key to the study and allowed her to open it.

Shi Qi brought Wei Yiqing and Qing Chan to see Guan Ziyang in the study, but Guan Ziyang refused to leave, saying that he agreed to Shi Kun and stayed in the Hou Mansion for the new year...

Although Qingchan and Wei Yiqing were puzzled, Guan Ziyang was unharmed, so he obediently went back by himself.

"Qing Chan, Senior Sister, on New Year's Eve, don't go anywhere, just stay at home and close the door."

Seeing that Guan Ziyang did not take the opportunity to escape, Shi Kun, who was always next door, was relieved a lot.

He accidentally overheard his plot with Yao Chang. With the mentality that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go, he locked him up for a few days, and now he trusts him a little more.

A few days later, news of Yin Hao's northern expedition and return to the court spread throughout Jiankang.

Yin Hao returned in defeat and led his generals back to Jiankang, all frowning and dejected.

The festive and auspicious atmosphere seemed incompatible with the festive and auspicious atmosphere of the capital city.

In the Taiji Hall, Zhuang Su, a hundred officials, and Yin Hao, the general of the Chinese army, knelt down together and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"I made mistakes in the Northern Expedition, all because of my mistakes in decision-making. Please punish me alone by the Queen Mother, and forgive me as a general."

Chu Suanzi snorted coldly: "The commander is incompetent, and the three armies are affected. I, Da Jin Erlang, sacrificed more than [-] people, and you, Yin Hao, are responsible!"

Sima Yu came out with the court board in hand and said: "Qizou Empress Dowager, Yin Hao was defeated and should be punished, but since he invaded the old capital Luoyang, he repaired the imperial palace for the ancestors Sima Yi, Sima Zhao, Sima Yan, Sima Zhong and others. Mausoleum, loyalty and filial piety are commendable,

As for the internal and external troubles of my Great Jin Dynasty, when I was really employing people, I asked the Queen Mother to forgive me. "

The Empress Dowager and Sima Yu have always worn a pair of trousers, this one sings the red face and the other sings the bad face.

It was clear that he wanted to exonerate Yin Hao.

Nowadays, no one in the court can resist Huan Wen except Yin Hao, and they don't want this confidant who has been cultivated with great difficulty to be killed because of the defeat.

Chu Suanzi said angrily again: "Repairing the imperial mausoleum is the job of the ministers, but Yin Hao didn't expect the enemy to be careful, and the defeated army will be humiliated by the three armies. If they are not severely punished, what is the power of God!"

Sima Yu replied: "May the Empress Dowager take a long-term view. The Empress Dowager is ambitious and determined to regain the Central Plains, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold. The chaos in the Central Plains has serious evils. It is better to wait for the Beifu Army to be completed, and then join Yin Hao's two armies." Come out together, and attack the Central Plains again!"

Then Chu Suanzi nodded: "The prime minister is right. The Ai family should have a long-term plan, so I will pass on my order to order the Beifu army governor and censor to patrol Guan Ziyang, and leave for Jingkou today to rebuild the Beifu army. .”

Sima Yu said: "Invite the Empress Dowager to avoid resistance from the refugees in Jingkou, and please let the governor act as a censor. When we leave after the year, the court must keep it strictly confidential."

All the officials in the court saw that the two of them were asking and answering, and they cooperated very tacitly. They didn't know that they had already communicated in private.

Therefore, no one objected, shouting 'Queen Dowager Shengming'.

Yin Hao saved his life, but he was convicted by the judge and demoted to General Yang Wei.

The title has been lowered, but the real power has not changed, that is to say, it is just a show.

The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered: "The feudal town left the capital, and the family members had to stay in Jiankang, so I happened to do what Shi Lang entrusted me with."

The queen mother said again: "I heard that the governor of the Beifu army is over sixteen years old and is still unmarried. Although he is a high-ranking official, he is still a commoner. The rule of the Great Jin Dynasty is that scholars and commoners do not marry. The governor is looking for a good match?"

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to speak first.

What does the Empress Dowager mean, that she wants to choose a woman to marry Guan Ziyang in the family of the important ministers who participated in the early dynasty to show the emperor's favor?
She herself said that scholars and commuters do not intermarry, which minister is willing to throw this person away? ...

The Empress Dowager knew this early on, so she said: "The Ai family heard that Marquis Ruyin had a daughter who happened to be [-] years old, so the Ai family issued an order to make her have a good story with the governor of Guan..."

The decree is still being issued over there, and Guan Ziyang and Shi Qi are talking happily in the Hou's mansion here.

In order to win the trust of Shi Kun and Shi Kun, I had no choice but to sell my appearance...

Guan Ziyang was indignant.

In order to take care of Guan Ziyang for the past few days, Shi Kun said he was sick at home, and after the morning court, the imperial decree came to the Hou Mansion.

There were originally two edicts, one for Shi Kun and the other for Guan Ziyang, but Guan Ziyang actually appeared at Shi Kun's house, which saved the eunuch a lot of trouble.

After the imperial decree arrived, Shi Kun was even more certain that Guan Ziyang was already tied to the same boat as himself.

What I did was treason, which was to punish the nine clans.

Now that Guan Ziyang and him are considered half of the family, if his affairs were revealed, how could Guan Ziyang still be able to run away?

Immediately, he took the initiative to accuse Guan Ziyang of his crime.

"Nephew, I have wronged you these past few days, let our son-in-law have a good drink today."

"Master Hou, our family, why bother to talk about two different things."

When Shi Qi heard that the imperial decree had arrived, he also wept with joy!

When she first met Guan Ziyang, she seemed to have no affection for her.

Fortunately, the twists and turns turned around, and Guan Ziyang was finally moved...

Only Guan Ziyang complained in his heart, hurry up to New Year's Eve!

……

In the study of the Marquis of Ruyin.

Weng and his son-in-law raised their glasses to each other, Shi Kun was in a great mood, this Guan Ziyang was much better than his two sons, how can he not be happy that his hegemony has filled in another powerful general.

"Nephew, look at the wedding date, why don't we set it before the year?"

Guan Ziyang secretly thought something was wrong, the old fox still didn't fully trust him, and wanted to cook raw rice into mature rice!
Guan Ziyang pretended to be incredulous: "Master Hou, how can this important marriage be done without parents? My parents are still in Fuling, and I will send someone to pick them up. It will take at least three months to go back and forth...I'm afraid..."

"That's right, my nephew is a high-ranking minister, and a big wedding must not be rushed. Let's follow your Han etiquette.
I was the one who was in a hurry, hahaha, let's wait until the next year, and then we will discuss it in the long run. "

Shi Kun raised his eyebrows, indicating that Guan Ziyang should understand what he meant.

Guan Ziyang hurriedly said: "We will discuss it after a year. Maybe when the time comes, I, the son-in-law of the Marquis Mansion, may still be promoted."

He followed suit and raised his eyebrows, making Shi Kun laugh out loud...

"From today on, my virtuous nephew will be free to come and go in this Marquis's mansion. I have also asked for leave for a few days, and I have to return to the palace to report to the palace. I have to go to the Habayashi guard to make detailed arrangements."

"Okay, I wish Lord Hou all the best! Cheers!"

Shi Kun picked up his wine glass and touched Guan Ziyang: "You're still called Lord Hou?"

Guan Ziyang suddenly realized: "Hey, then I wish Lao Zhang the best of luck!"

"Hahaha, good, having such a good son-in-law is like adding wings to a tiger, cheers!"

……

On the same day, Shi Kun returned to the palace to return to his command, and Guan Ziyang also returned to Bird Clothes Lane.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xie Yi and Xie An already waiting in the hall.

"You've come back, tell me why Shi Kun has kept you in the Hou Mansion for so many days?" Xie Yi said urgently.

Guan Ziyang hastily relayed what happened in detail.

Xie Yi shook his head when he heard it: "This old fox is so cunning. In this way, if you betray him, wouldn't you be asking for your own death?"

Xie An was silent for a long time, and thought for a long time before saying: "That's not necessarily the case, if the lack of it can break Shi Kun's trick and save the court, the Queen Mother is not such a foolish person."

"I'm just worried that the person who can restrain Shi Kun may not be found in a while!"

Only then did Guan Ziyang remember that Shi Kun told him that day that Xie An was just a vain name, presumably the two had already fought.

"An Shigong, this Shi Kun is really so powerful, and you are not his opponent?"

Xie An nodded: "It's not just me, I'm afraid even if there are two more of me, I'm not invincible. This Shi Kun's crippled legs, the barbarians' martial arts are really evil!
And we don't know what method he will use to restrain the empress dowager and the hundreds of palace people. "

"With so many people, he will definitely use poison." Xie Yi said.

"The possibility of using poison is the greatest, but we don't have evidence now, so we can't convince the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe us and tell Shi Kun, we will startle the snake instead."

……

Wei Yi Qing said: "How about I invite my master?"

Xie An shook his head: "It's too late, Ruan Xian is in Jingzhou, and it will take two months to go back and forth, even if he travels with lightness kung fu, it will take a month at the earliest."

Xie An said: "I've thought about being able to arrive at Jiankang in a month, but it's too late. At this moment, there are only people who rely on us in Jiankang?"

"Third brother, what do you mean, we win by numbers?"

Xie An said: "This is also an unavoidable method, but it is too risky, and it is easy to cause casualties. It is best not to choose this method unless it is absolutely necessary."

Xie An said again: "Otherwise there is another way!"

Isn't he afraid of Habayashi Wei's subduing dragon formation?

Let's find a way so that he can't break Habayashi Wei!
"But now that Shi Kun is the servant of the Huangmen, the Habayashi guards in the palace are basically under his control."

He will definitely send many Jie slaves in his family and the dead soldiers he recruited to sneak into Habayashi Guard.

Que Zhi hurriedly said: "That's right, once I saw his two sons, Shi Lang and Shi Hao, are already working in Habayashi Guard!"
