The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 1: The dark waves are surging

Yihai in the twenty-fifth year of the Great Yongwuwei, the government and the public have been silent since the incident happened, waiting for the storm. Taizong asked to avoid illness and stayed out all day long.

——"Yong Shi·The Book of Emperor Taizong"

Yihai in the second year of the Southern Chu Tongtai period, Zhe gradually recovered from his illness. At that time, although the ruling and the opposition were in peace, the matter of seizing his concubine was ready to take place. Zhe was the ruler of Yongwang, and only forbearance.

——"Southern Dynasty Chu History·Jiang Suiyun Biography"

The spring is mellow and the breeze is slowing down. The cold garden is already full of green trees. Since last year's Huhu turmoil, Shang Shuliang Jinqian was suddenly killed by a gangster, the situation suddenly stabilized inexplicably, Emperor Yong Li Yuanlian issued an edict The purpose is to remove all officials of the Ministry of Households from their posts, demotions for demotion, and fines for fines. After the purging of the Ministry of Households, the newly appointed official of the Ministry of Households is Mihara Hande. He is an official in the Ministry of Households for many years, but there is no imperial examination. He has no background and has been unwilling for many years. In this household inspection, only his account is clearest. Therefore, Li Yuan leapfrogged him and promoted him. Hande was impartial. There was only one emperor in his heart, and neither was the prince. Dare to belittle him, although the prince has inserted a lot of hands in, but the Ministry of Households is no longer as instructive as before.

In May of last year, the news of the appearance of a disciple of the Demon Sect in Xianyang caused the world to panic. In the end, the thief was caught by Fengyimen. The man claimed to be dissatisfied with the suzerain and was expelled, so he went to the Central Plains to make waves. After the man was killed, he personally sent someone to send the ashes to the Northern Han Dynasty. The master of the Demon Gate, Jing Wuji, was very indifferent. He neither made trouble nor apologized, so the matter was not resolved.

After that, the political situation of Dayong suddenly appeared calm as never before. The prince only managed politics step by step every day. In addition to not letting go of the military, King Yong only concentrated on studying in the palace on weekdays, neither making courtiers nor recruiting. Magi, the only action is to often send some unqualified scholars and poor scholars to Youzhou to serve as officials. Li Yuan allows Youzhou to choose officials on his own, so he does not interfere. These people are not extraordinary wizards, so the prince does not want to do so. Turn your face. Both aspects are keeping a low profile, so the situation in Dayong has unprecedented peace and tranquility, but everyone knows that this is just the depression before the storm, and the prince and the king are already immortal.

Regardless of the ups and downs outside, in the cold garden, there is a wonderful scene appearing. In the pavilion, King Yong looked at the chessboard leisurely, Xiao Shunzi sat on the opposite side, calmly put down the chess pieces, gestured King Yong had his turn, and outside the pavilion, a scholar in white clothes was on the lawn, on all fours, dressed as a mount, and on him, a little girl in a red clothes was shouting "Drive , Drive, daddy run away."

I have fully recovered from the peace of mind during the past year. Although I still appear weak and weak, my face is radiant, and it is not the pale appearance that will die at any time. However, being a "horse" for a long time, I was already out of breath, and had to say: "Blue, Daddy is no longer working, and you don't want to get tired of Daddy. No one will read Brother Jun's letter to you. "

The soft blue black eyes rolled for a while, and finally nodded, and slipped off of me, and said in a gruff, "Daddy, I'm going to see the princess."

I smiled and said, "No today. If the princess goes to see the princess in a few days, can I ask her to take you there?"

Rou Lan pouted her small mouth and said: "The princess all said that Lan Lan can visit her often?"

I smiled slightly, this is not our final decision. Since the princess was cleaned up in Wuchenan, her marriage with Wei Ying has been delayed. The emperor did not cancel the marriage, but did not force the princess to marry. , Wei Ying only suffered, and he dared not marry a wife, nor asked for a big marriage. Rumors about me and the princess have been circulating for a few days, but after all, I didn’t meet the princess, so under the suppression of King Yong, there was no prince’s help. The rumors quickly disappeared. After all, no one wanted to stop participating in the palace. The disputed Princess Changle was forced out, and she didn't want to anger Li Yuan, so these rumors were quickly forgotten.

Actually, I think Emperor Yong may also hear some rumors, but since Changle and I have no personal affair, nor have we met, he can't punish me because Changle may be affectionate to me, so this year, I still have It’s very moisturizing, but I often think of Princess Changle. I recall the only two meetings I have seen one by one. Later, Princess Yong often went to see the princess, and Roulan was often taken by the princess. This did not cause much Right or wrong, who doesn’t know that Princess Yong treats Roulan as if she has come out, who doesn’t know that the elder son Li Jun is in Youzhou, and he must send messengers to Beijing to report to King Yong every month, and the messengers must bring some little girls every time. Toys and a letter, so Roulan's appearance in the Lama Temple has become a matter of course. Princess Changle likes soft blue. Everyone only regards her as empty under her knees, so she likes little girls. Although some people think of the possibility of "love the house and the black", no one dares to bring this "virtually nothing" thing to the table. And in order to meet Roulan, Princess Changle lives in the palace for half a year. After all, it is normal for Princess Yong to go to the palace to visit the queen and concubine. If she always goes to Wuchen Temple to see the princess, this would be worrying. Does the princess get too close to King Yong? Therefore, even the eldest concubine loves Roulan very much, and sometimes leaves Roulan in the palace for a few days. Roulan had also met Emperor Yong Li, Li Yuan, and Li Yuan also liked this naughty little elf girl, so no one would dare to talk too much.

Although I haven’t seen the princess this year, and I’ve never even tried to ask her if she’s really in love with me, but I can’t help but send her new poems to her through Princess Yong, and she didn’t reply. , Just often give Roulan some jade amulet and other rewards. Hearing from Princess Yong, the princess has a great complexion over the past year. Not only does she often laugh, she also looks cheerful in front of Emperor Yong and the eldest concubine. When they see her, they feel that they don't need to rush her to marry, which makes her depressed. If there is anything else that makes her unhappy, it is probably Wei Ying’s tenderness offensive. Speaking of which, Wei Ying is sincere to the princess. Although he is frustrated because the princess refuses to marry, he always gives some small gifts, or is lonely. The emperor and the eldest grandson and noble concubine were very moved and supported by this kind of gentle and gentle offensive of good pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Although Princess Changle was not tempted, Wei Ying was polite and never aggressive. , Always thoughtful of courtesy, the princess is a gentle person, unwilling to refuse bad words, can only be cold and alienated, but for the marriage of Wei Ying and the princess, the emperor and the eldest grandson and noble concubine are happy to see it happen. So Princess Changle inevitably "ran into" Wei Ying from time to time. A few days ago, I thought that since Wei Yin was obsessed with pursuing, I might as well be colder. If the princess can match his wife, I can relax my worries. Therefore, I did not let Roulan enter the palace for more than a month. Said that the princess was in a bad mood during this period and went to live in Wuchenan. In this case, if I still don’t understand the princess’s intentions, then I am probably the biggest idiot in the world, so Roulan will never be forbidden to enter. Gong, although the two never meet, they are peculiar. They can always feel the warmth in their hearts. Although they are close to the world, they feel that they are not isolated.

Anyway, I finally let Roulan go down. It's funny. Roulan still doesn't recognize words. The son Li Jun sent letters one by one. When the little girl was holding the letter, he didn't recognize a word. , I was annoyed to teach her how to read, and I could only laugh, but I wanted to teach her to write and read. I had to wait for two years to understand the letter. In desperation, I had to read the letter to her. Actually, the content Nothing. It’s just where I went today and saw something interesting. It’s just that this Li Jun is very good at talking. Every time Roulan listens to it, she makes a fuss about going to Youzhou. Fortunately, she won’t be noisy for too long. . Although Roulan is still young, she already has a shy heart. She absolutely refuses to let others see the content of the letter, and only lets me read it for her, so I can threaten her to let me go and decide to teach her to read later. Otherwise, what can I do without this assassin.

Looking at I finally got up and walked towards the pavilion with Roulan, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Suiyun, you are here, let's forget about this round."

Looking at the chessboard, Li Zhi’s chess pieces have fallen apart, and he smiled and said: "People say that those who are good at fighting are good at fighting. If it is a battle on the battlefield, Xiao Shunzi will definitely lose. But if you are playing chess, your Highness will only I'm willing to bow down."

Xiao Shunzi put away the board and the chess pieces blankly, completely meaningless to agree, just glanced at me mockingly, I could not help touching my nose, to be honest, I played chess with him, now this kid can let me Three sons.

Sitting down and picking up the tea cup, Xiao Shunzi had already sent Roulan back to the maid of the princess. She felt a little sore all over her body. After a cup of hot tea, I felt energetic and couldn't help but groan comfortably.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Yesterday Qin Qing reprimanded Pei Yun, the commander of the North Battalion of the Forbidden Army, saying that he was too thin to repair."

I smiled slightly and said: "This is Li Hanyou's idea, now Qin Qing is only his wife."

Qin Qing and Li Hanyou were probably the most beautiful this year. She married Qin Qing half a year ago. Soon after the marriage, Qin Qing was promoted to the commander of the Forbidden Army, although in fact the leader of the Forbidden Army has always been a false position. In fact, it was in charge of Fuyuan General Qin Yi, but Qin Qing was the eldest son of Qin Yi, of course different from others. Although Qin Yi still did not delegate power, Qin Qing can still mobilize part of the forbidden army. Now Qin Qing is a well-known young general in Da Yong, and Jingjiang Princess Li Hanyou is already the princess and a disciple of Fengyi Sect, although her marriage makes her no longer possible to be a disciple of Fengyi Sect. But her lofty status in Fengyimen is still very obvious. Such a couple is naturally attracted by everyone. What is more rare is that they are very affectionate, and they are very envied by Dayong.

Li Zhi sneered: "Pei Yun officially married his concubine a few days ago, but his wife received a divorce letter. It is no wonder that Li Hanyou was furious. Madam Pei Xue Qiuxue is a disciple of Fengyi School. Li Hanyou loves the same sisters."

I picked up the teacup and said calmly: "This can only be blamed on that woman's stupidity. Pei Yun made it clear that he did not want to marry her. When Pei Yun went to the Xue family to plead guilty, he made it very clear that he already had an outside room and already Pregnant, if the Xue family is willing to retreat and would rather pay the price, then Miss Xue insists on marrying into Pei’s family, that’s all, if this woman is willing to keep her duty, Pei Yun is a kind person, and it may not be unacceptable forever, but she The method is not yet at home, and the method is too aggressive, which makes Pei Yun stay away. Now he is still doing things to harm the concubine and the newborn baby. If it is not discovered in time, these are two lives. If it is not due to Fengyimen, I am afraid that Pei Yunzao Killed her with a single sword, but Qin Qing's reproach to Pei Yun is also justified. In any case, this is indeed considered to be austerity."

Li Zhi said: "In this way, Fengyimen naturally refused to give up. Although they could not directly intervene because of their relationship, they accused Pei Yun of not neglecting his wife. They have quarreled with Shaolin several times."

I smiled and said: "Although they are right, Shaolin has acquiesced to Pei Yun's behavior. Pei Yun is their carefully selected disciple. They absolutely don't want Pei Yun and Feng Yimen to have anything Associated."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "That said, but Shaolin will not turn his face with Feng Yimen after all. Although Feng Yimen cannot openly trouble Pei Yun, Li Hanyou can still embarrass Pei Yun through Qin Qing. What to do, Pei Yun is the nail that you finally made in the Forbidden Army, you can't just give up."

I shook my head and said: "His Royal Highness has been honoured. I just led a way to make Pei Yun's loyalty to His Royal Highness. It is His Highness's own ability. Since ancient times, his good ministers have chosen the master. If his Highness is not benevolent, righteous and wise, how could Pei Yun His Highness was willing to serve his orders. This time, his Highness also came to help, which will definitely make Shaolin Temple truly support His Highness. Although Shaolin had intended to cooperate with His Highness against Fengyimen in the past, due to the emperor and the prince, they could only secretly support this time. Being too arrogant, I'm afraid it will anger Shaolin. This is your Royal Highness's opportunity."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Suiyun, this king admires you very much. A year ago, your actions made people of insight in the ruling and the public see clearly some of the prince's features. Now even if they have not decided to support me, they are all turning around. For neutrality, many people used to think that the prince was a prince and was innocent, so even if he felt that the king was wise, he would always feel like he would leave. Now although the king does not recruit talents casually according to your instructions, he can feel them. I am more willing to be close to the Yongwang Mansion, but after more than a year, you let this king reverse the situation, and this king does not know how to thank him."

I said lightly: "This is also your highness's willingness to accept my opinion. I told your Highness not to act and hide your power and bide your time. Your Highness gladly accepts it. Over the past year, His Highness has not changed, so that the prince cannot attack the Lord on the grounds of his high merit. Your Royal Highness, his various embarrassments, on the contrary, make people feel more sympathetic to His Royal Highness. Shi Yu was appointed by His Royal Highness in Youzhou, but everyone thought that His Royal Highness was for the sake of the fief. Now that His Royal Highness is equipped with all the martial arts, he can start to show his grand plans. The minister can guarantee that the prince will lose his reserve position within this year."

Li Zhi said in a puzzled manner: "Although the prince has lost part of the people's hearts, there is no possibility of being deposed after all. He is also very cautious this year. How can you be sure that you can abolish his reserve?"

I smiled mysteriously and said: "His Royal Highness has been committed to inserting manpower into the power of the prince over the years. In the past, because the prince was cautious, the power of Lu Jingzhong and Fengyimen has always been difficult to achieve, but this year, the prince Because of the family affairs, I lost the heart of the people, and because of the act of killing people and killing his mouth, I lost the trust of his subordinates. Lu Jingzhong and Feng Yimen are also at odds with each other. Hasn't your Highness successfully entered the backbone of the prince’s power? Although you haven't touched the core yet, some actions of His Royal Highness can't be concealed from you. You really don't know, what is His Royal Highness doing?"

Li Zhi smiled awkwardly: "I know a little bit about this. I heard that the prince didn't know what was going on. He fell in love with the brothel. Several times he contracted Dayong’s famous prostitute secret Jinwu Cangjiao until his father knew about it. After the wind, he stopped. Recently, he hasn't done this kind of romantic activity~IndoMTL.com~ but always go to the harem to accompany the father queen and be filial to them."

I smiled coldly and said: "That's because he changed his pastime style. He fell in love with a concubine of the Emperor Xinna."

Li Zhi was startled, and said: "How is this possible? This is a thing. If the father knew it, wouldn't it be possible to blame him? I am afraid it is possible to abolish his reserve." At this point, Li Zhi paused. After a while, he said: "It’s probably not so easy to abolish the crown prince by the matter of the palace. After all, the harem cannot interfere with the country."

I said meaningfully and authentically: "If your Royal Highness has some ability, the emperor may not abolish his reserve position, but the emperor has already lost trust in the prince, and now for the emperor, the prince is probably more important Suppress you, this incident will happen because the emperor is unintentional, and I am afraid that he will also impose severe punishment on the prince. Regardless of whether the emperor intends to abolish the prince’s reserve, his attitude must always be expressed, so that the prince is naturally full of worries and doubts. , Father and son doubt, this is the result of the minister's request. His Royal Highness is ashamed, even if he keeps his position, I am afraid that day and night will worry about whether the emperor will settle accounts in the fall, and then he will inevitably be confused. In this way, the more he is To make up, I am afraid that the emperor’s dissatisfaction will be caused more and more. Not to mention that the palace is not important. Since ancient times, the family relationship between the emperor and the son has never been strong, but the suffocation between father and son is not new. At that time, I am afraid that the prince will be jealous It’s more than your highness suspicion."

Li Zhi said: "But Concubine Ji and others are bound to help each other, I am afraid it is still useless."

I said indifferently: "If they are wise to protect themselves, the minister will be worried. The more they do, the more flaws there will be. Doesn't your Highness want them to be exposed."

Li Zhi fell into deep thought, with a hint of joy on his face, and said: "Suiyun is a good strategy, and its evil is not clear. This king can be innocent and be punished."
