Red House Shoufu

Chapter 216 A Terrible Conspiracy (Supplement 1)

Feng Ziying returned to Heyin County with a sad expression on his face. He really didn't expect Shui Rong to make such a request.

He narrated his experiences in Xingyang City one by one, and finally said Shui Rong's request: "My lord, Shui Rong said that as long as the imperial court sends Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion to Xingyang County, and you guarantee it, no matter what happens in the future In this way, the imperial court must agree to send the rest of the Shui family out of Dachu."

"Jia Baoyu?"

Gao Yongheng looked at Feng Ziying in surprise, and asked, "Are you sure it's Jia Baoyu?"

"Back to the lord, that's what he really said." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, nodded and replied: "Shui Rong means to send Jia Baoyu to Xingyang as soon as possible, so that he can send all the kidnappers to Heyin County as soon as possible. As for life or death in the future, it all depends on God's will."

"What is he trying to do?"

Gao Yongheng couldn't understand Shui Rong's thoughts. He thought that Shui Rong would offer to exchange useful things such as food, grass and weapons, but he didn't think he would exchange them for a useless person.

To be honest, he was a little moved.Exchange one Jia Baoyu for so many children and grandchildren of important officials in the imperial court, it is definitely a guaranteed profit.

But when he calmed down, he realized that something was wrong. If he really agreed, the royal family's reputation among the courtiers would be wiped out in the future!
The Jia family in Rongguo Mansion has been loyal since the founding of the country.Some of the meritorious deeds of the king, but because of the difficulty of the king, they took the initiative to lower the title.

For nearly a hundred years, the principals of each generation are the most loyal courtiers of the royal family.Jia Daishan, in order to protect the Supreme Emperor, fell to the root of his illness and died of illness early.

For the younger generation, Jia Lian is still recuperating in the Daming Mansion. If Jia Baoyu is brought here as a hostage, it is estimated that the Jia family's heart will no longer be warmed up.

As for the ministers in the court, even if their children and grandchildren were replaced, they would probably have fear and distrust of the royal family.Today you will abandon the loyal Rongguo Mansion, maybe tomorrow, you will fall into my house.

Snapped!
Gao Yongheng slapped the table with a slap: "It's a good plan, this king almost got tricked!"

Feng Ziying asked: "Why did the prince say that?"

"If you agree today, the court's prestige will be gone..."

Gao Yongheng expressed his conjecture, and he said to Feng Ziying: "This king thinks that Shui Rong did this to provoke the relationship between the court and the courtiers, so that he can take advantage of the fire."

"Then how do we reply?"

"In this way, you go to Xingyang City again and tell Shui Rong. This king can be your guarantee. No matter what the outcome is, everyone in the Shui family can leave the territory of Dachu safely except himself."

Gao Yongheng paused, and continued to order: "As for Jia Baoyu, just say that the imperial court cannot use innocent people as bargaining chips to make such transactions with people."

When Shui Rong learned of Gao Yongheng's attitude, he was still calm.He just mentioned again that Jia Baoyu was his only thought, and if the imperial court did not send Jia Baoyu, he would not release any of the hostages.

Feng Ziying went back and forth between Xingyang and Heyin counties in astonishment, Gao Yongheng already understood that Shui Rong was delaying time.

Think shit!What's the difference between the appearance of being water-soluble on the outside and his self-defiled masculinity back then?He must have an ulterior purpose, but he hasn't figured it out yet.

So the matter of Gao Yongheng's landing here was written in secret letters, one was sent to the capital, and the other was sent to Daming Mansion.

……

Gao Yongheng's letter arrived at Daming Mansion first, and when he learned that Lin Shu had gone to Kaifeng, he hurried to Kaifeng again.

When Lin Shu received the letter, five or six days had passed.When Lin Shu saw the requirement of water dissolution, Monk Zhang Er was also puzzled.

But Zhang Li next to him reminded: "Shui Rong knows that His Majesty will not agree to exchange Jia Baoyu, why does he keep talking about this matter? It's just delaying time. Thinking about it, he should be waiting for an opportunity."

Lin Shu nodded in response: "It's indeed a delay, but the lower officials still can't guess this opportunity."

"What does the rebellion need most?"

Zhang Li picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper in front of him: soldiers and horses, food and grass, name and territory.

After thinking about it, he added four words: natural and man-made disasters!

"The Shui family has been planning for decades. Whether it is soldiers, horses, food, or land, he already has it now. For things like name, all you need is a letter, and it doesn't matter whether it is true or false."

Zhang Li pointed to the "natural disasters and man-made disasters" on the paper and said: "In all dynasties and dynasties, rebellion often needs an opportunity. When there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is the best opportunity, such as the civil fortress in the former Ming Dynasty."

Lin Shu asked puzzledly: "Ge Lao, isn't there a White Lotus Rebellion now? Isn't that enough?"

"Although the White Lotus Sect is powerful, can it threaten the capital? It's just scabies."

Zhang Li tapped the words on the paper with his fingers, and suddenly his face became serious.He was a little unsure and said: "Civil Fortress! You said that Shui Rong is trying to repeat what happened in the past and create a civil fort?"

Boom!
Lin Shu stood up abruptly, and knocked over the tea cup in his hand in a hurry.He didn't care about the scalded hands, and quickly said to Zhang Li: "It's very possible that the Shui family has a huge influence on the Nine Sides. I remember that in May, Sister She and Shui Rong's younger sister had a chat. There are quite a few leather goods businesses, and many people are sent to Mobei every year..."

Zhang Li's eyes lit up, he took up the conversation, and completely added Lin Shu's meaning: "connect the inside and the outside, open the gate of the country, so that the capital can't take care of Henan. Then follow the example of Taizu, come to fight against the emperor, and overthrow the 'rotten' the imperial court!"

"Good calculation!"

"It's vicious enough!"

The two exchanged opinions, and jointly drafted a joint secret note, which was sent to the capital in eight hundred li in an expedited manner.

But before that, they will step up their offensive against the White Lotus Sect.If their guess is true, then the war in Henan must be settled as soon as possible.

The defense line on the Nine Sides was too long. Whether it was the Tatars or the Oirats, if any side went south along the Nine Sides, the Imperial Army in the capital would need to send troops to support the Nine Sides.

At that time, Henan can only rely on itself to put down the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect and Shui Rong.

And until now, they haven't found out the real strength of Shui Rong's troops.In order to prevent accidents and avoid fighting on two fronts, the offensive against the White Lotus Sect must be advanced.

……

Feng Ziying came to Xingyang City again, this time compared to before, although Shui Rong has been monitoring him all the time, the group of people responsible for monitoring him has become lax.

He was resting in the courtyard that day when he suddenly heard intermittent shouting and cursing from the next door.

After a crackling sound, crunch, bang!The door to the courtyard next door was closed.

The guards watching Feng Ziying ran out to check the situation, and another ball of paper was thrown over the wall.

Feng Ziying secretly opened it to look, and there was a line written on it: "There is a secret passage under the rockery near the wall of the small courtyard, which can lead to me. At midnight tonight, the secret passage will meet. Xingyang ordered Wen Siyan!"

　Make up for yesterday's missing chapters, I'm sleepy, sleep, and continue to update during the day.
