The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 2: The Secret History of Gossip

Lin Yuanting, his father’s ancestor’s generation, Daizhou, in the 13th year of Zhenyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yuanting was the governor of the prefecture and still respected the Jin family. At that time, Taiyuan ordered Liu Sheng to secession of Jinzhong, and the founding of the country was called Han. Tingsu was loyal and unyielding, and the winning rate was attacked by the soldiers. In the 14th year of Zhenyuan, the emperor helped dethrone the Jin emperor and established the country as "Yong". After the Jin Dynasty died, he heard about it and hoped to sacrifice to Chang'an. He was sorrowful and surrendered to Liu Sheng, the ancestor of the Northern Han Dynasty. He feels his loyalty and awe, his wife loves his daughter. Since Yuan Ting became the master, he has done his duty and resisted barbarians invading and plundering. For decades, the army and civilians of the state have been obedient.

The princess Bi of Jiaping, the eldest daughter of Yuan Ting, was adopted as a righteous daughter by Liu You, the post-lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. name.

——"The Biography of Yong Shi Jiaping Princess"

Lin Tong saw Wang Ji's brows lightly frowned, and sat on the horse without guarding the house, he said loudly: "Hey, don't be in a daze, I ask you, you haven't said what happened to Princess Changle?"

Wang Ji's body shook slightly, and he arched his hands and said: "Qi, the county lord, this still has to start with the internal disturbance in Dayong. At that time, the crown prince colluded with Fengyi goalkeeper and surrounded the hunting palace. King Yong rushed out of the encirclement, but was unable to Joining with the army, at this critical juncture, Princess Changle stepped forward and persuaded the rebels not to attack the emperor’s palace for the time being. When the two sides squatted, the princess obtained the emperor’s secret decree and the general’s token, and then tried to pass it on. , Mobilized King Qin’s army, saved everyone, and wiped out the rebellion, so the emperor gave the princess the title of “Ning Guo”."

Lin Tong said suspiciously: "Really, the rebellion must have surrounded the hunting palace. Princess Changle is not my sister. She can be alone to fight through the siege. How could it be possible to spread the secret decree, you are not? It's a lie?"

At this time, Wang Ji has calmed down, restored the attitude of the talent and calmly said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is famous, and the villain admires it very much. This Princess of Changle has no power to bind a chicken. How could a weak woman get out of the siege? This is about another person. This person's surname is Jiang Mingzhe, whose words follow the cloud, and he is a confidant under the command of Emperor Yong. It was this person who planned it and not only sent out secret mobilization. The army also forced to kill the Fengyi Sect Master, the head of the three great masters in the world."

Lin Tong's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, I've heard people say that the Fengyi sect master is dead, so the national teacher ordered that the people can enter Dayong casually? But the national teacher is such a terrible person Regardless of whether there is a master of the Fengyi family, she was always the head of the three great masters. Is she really dead? Is that Jiang Zhe's martial arts so high that she can kill the master of Fengyi? He and Changle What does the princess have to do?"

Her series of questions made Wang Ji smile bitterly: "Princess, should Caomin answer that question first?"

Lin Tong smirked and said: "You speak slowly?"

Wang Ji said: "The county lord, Jiang Zhe is also a weak person. The villain heard that he is extremely weak and often wanders on the line of life and death, but this person's strategy and courage are unparalleled in the world."

Lin Tong sneered: "I don't believe this. How daring a weak scholar can be. This princess has seen many scholars and talents. As long as he sees a sword, he is either scared to death or kneels and surrenders. Besides, this man is No matter how powerful, is it better than my brother-in-law?"

Wang Ji glanced at Lin Bi embarrassedly, and Lin Bi smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be taboo, this palace also wants to hear the opinions of outsiders."

Wang Ji bowed his hand and apologized. Then he said: "The princess, this is incomparable. The literati has the character of a literati, and the warrior has the courage of a warrior. General Long is the commander of the three armies and one of the best generals in the world. This strategy The courage is naturally extraordinary, but if you put yourself in the place, I am afraid that General Long will not be able to do what Jiang Zhejiang did."

Lin Tong's eyes widened and said: "Then I will listen to you carefully. If you exaggerate, I will punish you."

Wang Ji smiled slightly and said: "This man Jiang was originally my courtier in Southern Chu. He was a weak crown in his sixteen years of virtue. He became famous in one fell swoop and passed the exam. If the article on the world is beautiful, there is no Compared with Nanchu, this Jiang Daren won the top prize. It can be said that his essays and poems are the best in the world, and no one in this world can match his peerless talent."

Lin Tong curled his lips and said: "Are you bullying me not to read? Sister, do you think what he said is true?"

Lin Bifeng's eyes are a little confused and authentic: "He is right. This Jiang Zhuangyuan is really second to none if he is a scholar, so keep talking."

Wang Ji said softly: "If you say how good his poems are, it's not clear that the grassroots have no learning, but the grassroots likes a little poem from his early years the most." After that, he cleared his throat. He sang loudly: "One spring breeze, one leaf boat, one cocoon and one light hook. The flowers are full of Zhu, the wine is full, and you are free in the waves." He sang very emotionally, and his voice was very melodious and clear. Being above the blue waves of the sky.

After singing a song, Wang Ji went on to say: "This Lord Jiang has been in the Hanlin for a few years. He was appreciated by my Southern Chu Xian Wangde, Prince Zhao Jue, and went with the army to the middle of Shu. The Caomin didn’t know what Lord Jiang offered. A strategy, but one thing is popular. After the demise of the Kingdom of Shu, the king of Shu, Li Zhi, wants to take the king of Shu back to the Kingdom of Dayong. In this way, although Dayong and Nanchu equally divide the territory of the Kingdom of Shu, Dayong controls the king of Shu. It took a huge advantage. At that time, Dayong was in the midst of the sky, and even though there were thousands of troops in South Chu, there was no way to reverse this situation. It was this Lord Jiang who sang loudly after the banquet, and forced the King of Shu to commit suicide. Since then, both the ruling and the opposition have praised Lord Jiang as the number one talent in Southern Chu."

Lin Tong said unbelievably: "I don't believe it, a poem can kill a country lord, sister, is what he said is true?"

Lin Bi stretched out his hand and stroked the young girl's hair and said: "Everyone has a heart of shame. The Shu Kingdom was ruined and trapped, and was ridiculed in public. It is no wonder that he was going to die. "

Lin Tong nodded without understanding, and said: "My sister said it is true, it is true, but this Jiang Zhe is really vicious."

Wang Ji smiled and said, "Perhaps, but Lord Jiang fell seriously ill when he came back from the middle of Shu. He didn't go to court for nearly two years. He was just recuperating at home. I don't think Lord Jiang would be proud of those things. Of."

Lin Tong asked again: "Ah, I remembered that in the nineteenth year of Rongsheng, King Yong defeated Jianye. Since the Lord Jiang became King Yong's confidant later, he must have surrendered King Yong at that time. Writing a poem mocking the king of Shu's surrender, but he bowed his knees and surrendered again. It seems that his bones are not hard. Is this the literati character you are talking about?"

Wang Ji's expression dimmed and said: "The princess has no way to argue against what the princess says, but in the eyes of the princess, he doesn’t think there is anything wrong with Mr. Jiang. In the 22nd year of Xiande, the ruler did not To clear the situation, you must be promoted to the emperor's throne. Master Jiang sent a letter to him, and the country was so angry that he was beheaded, but at last Gu Nian Master Jiang’s fame and merits only reduced him to a commoner. When King Yong entered Chu, he personally came to the door. Li hired, but Master Jiang insisted on not surrendering. Later, Master Jiang was forcibly taken back to Dayong by His Royal Highness. Caomin heard that King Yong was very respectful of Master Jiang and tried all means to persuade him to surrender. Caomin wanted Master Jiang to surrender at last or Is it because King Yong is too sincere?"

Lin Tong said in a nonchalant manner: "Although it is said that wise ministers choose the master and serve, I still don't think there is any kind of character."

Wang Ji shook his head and smiled: "What the princess said is." Although he said that, his expression was obviously perfunctory. Lin Tong was about to press on, Lin Bi said: "Tong'er, you don't want to continue listening Already?"

Lin Tong just shut up. She admired her sister and brother-in-law the most, so she was very unhappy that Wang Ji thought Jiang Zhe was better than her brother-in-law.

Wang Ji went on to say: "What did Master Jiang plan for King Yong? The Cao Min didn’t know, but His Royal Highness respected and loved Master Jiang, like a teacher like a friend, like a brother like a brother, Soon, Prince Gude’s personal guards sneaked into Dayong to assassinate Lord Jiang. It is said that Prince De had left a secret order on his deathbed. If Lord Jiang voted for another country, Lord Jiang would be killed. I heard that Lord Jiang was seriously injured and nearly died. Sheng, if it were not for His Royal Highness King Yong who had exhausted all kinds of precious medicines to renew his life, he would not have been able to wait for Mr. Sheng Sang’s treatment. His Royal Highness King Yong was greatly furious about this incident. Since then, it is said that the defense around Master Jiang It is more stringent than King Yong."

Lin Tong was shocked: "Why is your Prince De being so merciless? Although Jiang Zhe is out of touch, he is excusable after all. Besides, everyone else is dead, so why bother about it?"

Wang Ji sighed and said: "At that time, many people thought the same way. In any case, Lord Jiang always contributed to Nan Chu. Although he changed his career, Nan Chu removed him from office first. The guard was too stubborn. Besides, Lord Jiang was just a scribe, and Prince De remembered him before his death, and it was troublesome. However, the guard was chased and killed by a servant next to Lord Jiang on his way back to Nanchu. , Killed above Da Jiang, this servant was named Li Shun, originally an **** in Nanchu Palace, somehow he became a slave with Lord Jiang, no one took him to heart, but this Li Shun actually has the ability After killing this guard, people knew that he turned out to be a rare master. Such a master would be willing to be a slave to Master Jiang. Only then did some people think that Master Jiang had some skill, but most people still did not regard Master Jiang. In my eyes. Especially after the assassination of Master Jiang, his body was extremely weak, and he was on the sickbed for half a year. The princess should know that if a person is in poor health, even if he has great ability, he may only be able to perform two or three points. Of."

Lin Tong was fascinated and couldn't help but ask: "Then Lord Jiang is so poor, how did he give advice to King Yong, and how did he kill the Fengyi sect master?"

Wang Ji sighed and said: "The Caomin didn't know how Master Jiang had made suggestions for King Yong, but it was said that after Master Jiang helped King Yong ping the rebellion, his bones had disappeared. It is said that his temples are like frost, and he often vomits blood. I'm afraid Mr. Jiang will not live long."

Lin Bi sighed softly when he heard it here: "I have done my best and died. It is a pity that this person is not in my Northern Han Dynasty. You can keep talking."

Wang Ji then continued: "At that time, Jiang Zhe was also in the hunting palace and was seriously ill. It was because he immediately saw through the prince’s conspiracy that he did not let King Yong die in the hands of the villain. When King Yong broke through the siege. No one should bring him, but Jiang Daren took the initiative to stay, and the one who collected Jiang Daren is Princess Changle."

Lin Tong rolled his eyes and said: "Why did Princess Changle take him in? Could it be that they have personal affair?"

Wang Ji hesitated for a moment, and said: "This grassroots is also not good. Princess Changle was the mother of Southern Chu, Master Jiang was once a minister of Southern Chu, Princess Changle lived in the palace all the year round, Master Jiang rarely entered the court. It was said that it was impossible for the two to have an affair. Later, someone said that after Princess Changle entered Chu, her favorite poems were poems and essays. Jiang Daren's poems are the world’s best, and Changle Princess loves Daren Jiang’s poems the most. There is love in the heart. But the distinction between inferiority and inferiority, the status of the emperor and ministers cannot be overstepped, so Princess Changle refused to talk to Emperor Yong to recruit Lord Jiang as a messenger. But when the Hunting Palace Incident, Lord Jiang went to ask for help, Princess Changle naturally did not matter. Regardless of how to save him, Master Jiang strategized, the princess got the secret edict token from Emperor Yong, and then Master Jiang sent someone to deliver the secret edict. This time he invited the soldiers of King Qin."

Lin Tong asked curiously: "Master Jiang went to the princess for help, does Master Jiang know that the princess likes him?"

Wang Ji laughed and said: "This grassroots is not clear. In fact, in any case, Lord Jiang can only ask Princess Changle for help. Princess Changle has always been neutral. If Prince Yong and King Yong are fighting, the princess may Will not intervene, but when it comes to the emperor, the princess and the princess have a deep affection, naturally they will not sit back and watch the prince threaten their father."

Lin Tong asked again: "Then Lord Jiang was not found, how did he send out the secret decree?"

Wang Ji's expression became reverent, and said, "Master Jiang hid probably very tightly. Besides, it may be that those who rebelled against the party didn't pay attention to this weak scholar. As for the people who spread the edict, this is the most unexpected place. Xiahou Yuanfeng was originally a member of the prince’s party and was also involved in the rebellion. It is said that he was very close to the prince’s youngest Fu Lu Jingzhong, so I never thought that this person took the real secret edict by sending the false edict on behalf of the prince. Go out. Xiahou Yuanfeng was originally not a member of Emperor Yong. This is known to everyone, and no one understands why this person was persuaded by Lord Jiang. His abandonment of the secret to the bright, but made a great contribution, and now it is even more so. I am deeply favored. But Jiang Daren's ability is really admirable, and he has done such an impossible thing."

Lin Tong nodded and said: "It turns out that this is the case, then you can tell me about Jiang Zhe's forced killing of Fengyi's sect master. I still don't believe he has that ability."

Wang Ji's expression shook up and said, "Speaking of this, it is really convincing. Master Jiang is just a weak scholar, and I am afraid that the Fengyi sect master can kill him with a single finger. The Fengyi Gate failed to rebel that day, and all the rebellion was surrounded, and it was about to be wiped out in one swoop. Who knew that the Fengyi Sect Master descended from the sky, alone with a sword, standing above the main hall, above the Golden Palace, except for the emperor and prince, there are important generals, The master of the arena, but in front of the head of the three great masters, in front of a woman, they all bowed their heads, no one dared to look at each other, but Lord Jiang, a weak scholar who was dying and vomiting blood, made his voice sound like a stone and clang. Powerful, I would rather jade broken rather than complete, forcing the Fengyi sect master to agree to stay as a hostage in exchange for the lives of the disciples, who can do this kind of courage?"

Lin Tong wanted to speak, but thought that when he was fortunate to visit the national teacher, he did not dare to breathe. Thinking about this, Jiang Zhe dared not fear life and death in front of the Fengyi sect master, and he was straightforward. He did not speak.

Wang Ji said again: "There are not many people who know about the next thing, but the master of Fengyi was besieged and killed by the master Cizhen of Shaolin Temple with the master of the door and the evil shadow Li Shun on the seventh day. Pass away with hatred."

Lin Tong asked: "So how can I say that Jiang Zhe forced the Fengyi sect master to be killed?"

Wang Ji said: "This news came from Shaolin Temple. It is said that Fengyi Sect Master was injured in the first place. She took the Nine Transformation Heart Protecting Pill from Doctor Shengsang to temporarily protect her heart. But Master Jiang is a disciple of the Sage of Medicine, who is proficient in medical skills. What methods have been used to make the Fengyi Sect Master exhaust his vitality in seven days, so the Fengyi Sect Master was finally forced to fight to the death, and so did Master Cizhen As a master, the evil shadow Li Shun is also a great master. The Eighteen King Kong of Shaolin Temple joined forces. How could Fengyi Sect Master not die, and I heard that the evil shadow Li Shun was seriously injured in a sneak attack while the two great masters were fighting. The Fengyi sect master forced a generation of masters to self-immolate and die. If the Fengyi sect master had no ambition in his heart, I am afraid that he would have died long ago and would never end."

Lin Tong's expression was very shocked, and he said after a long while: "Then this Lord Jiang is really amazing, but Master Cizhen is too lacking in the demeanor of a grandmaster, so he has to join hands and attack, and he wants to make a sneak attack, but how can he spread such a thing? How ashamed to come out?"

Wang Ji shook his head and said: "When the grass people listened to it as a joke legend, they didn't understand the thoughts of Master Cizhen."

Lin Tong looked up at Lin Bi and said coquettishly: "Sister, you must know. Tell me quickly."

Lin Bi was entangled by her, so she had to laugh, "What's weird about this? The Jiang Dao's heart is so deep, and Master Cizhen has passed the matter out. Naturally everyone is afraid of it. Master Wei Jiang is a little more beware, think it’s Master Cizhen who is a little bit sad, right?"

Lin Tong nodded and said, "Oh, then Wang Ji, how about Jiang Zhe and Princess Changle?"

Wang Ji said again: "When Fengyi Sect Master appeared, although there were heroes above the Golden Temple, they all bowed their heads. Only two of them were fearless in life and death, which is admirable. One is Master Jiang Zhejiang. With a weak character, he slammed the Fengyi sect master directly, making Qunying embarrassed. The other person was Princess Changle. At that time, Lord Jiang was injured by the Fengyi sect master's internal force and he vomited blood. Princess Changle ignored what the Fengyi sect master Jian Feng pointed out. Visiting Lord Jiang’s injuries, his passion, and ignoring life and death, make people sigh."

Lin Tong said "Ah" and said: "Could it be that Princess Changle is married to Jiang Zhe? It's no wonder that people put Princess Changle and my sister side by side, so Jiang Zhe can really compare with my brother-in-law."

Wang Ji smiled slightly, knowing that the little princess said so, that he admitted that Jiang Zhe was indeed capable. He did not say anything, and continued: "Although Emperor Yong once asked the emperor to give a marriage, the officials were moved by their deep emotions. Although they felt that it was against the rituals and laws, no one discouraged them, but Emperor Yong refused."

Lin Tong said in astonishment: "Why, Jiang Zhe made such a great achievement, he and the princess are in love with each other again, why did Emperor Yong not agree?"

Wang Ji smiled and said: "The reason is that Lord Jiang is very ill. Emperor Yong is very worried that if Jiang Da's life is not long, Princess Changle will have a rough life. If the horse died prematurely, wouldn't it make the situation worse? As soon as this reason comes out, Even King Yong dare not say wrong."

Lin Tong nodded and said: "It turns out that it is, that's right. Then, after the Lord Jiang is well raised, the Emperor of Dayong will give them marriage?"

Wang Ji smiled and said: "If this is the case, then there will be no legend. The great master Jiang made such a great achievement, and he is about to rise to the top, but he has carried evil after the ceremony of the Prince Yong. Ying Lishun quietly stayed away. It is said that the Lord Jiang came and went to understand that all the rewards of King Yong were sealed up, and he didn't take any of them. He just escaped from the rivers and lakes. His talents and achievements did not love wealth at all. Power, that is, some people thought that his reputation was a loss in the past, but now they can’t help but sigh."

A trace of reverence flashed in Lin Tong's eyes~IndoMTL.com~ said: "The character and talent of this Lord Jiang is really unparalleled in the world, but although he is powerful, you weren't going to tell me why Princess Changle can be with my sister Are you the same name, why did you digress?"

Wang Ji said in his heart, I was really digressing, didn’t I also be led by you, but smiled on the face: "The princess doesn’t know something. Although Jiang Zhe walked away and didn’t take it, he abducted him. One person."

Lin Tong's eyes widened and said: "Could it be, could it be that Princess Changle eloped with her?"

Wang Ji stretched his hand and said: "That's the case. Princess Changle is inherently soft on the outside and strong on the inside. When Emperor Yong forced her to marry another, she sweared to death. Now Emperor Yong does not allow her to marry Lord Jiang, but Lord Jiang If you leave like this, how can the princess rest assured that these two people are both people who have exhausted their youthful efforts for Dayong, so they have no scruples, and they both go far away. Lv, only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. This princess was originally named Ningguo Changle princess by Jin, and she was very honored. The mother and concubine were promoted to the queen. She was already extremely wealthy, but she abandoned everything and stayed with her lover. Jianghu, such a strange woman, should be able to barely compare with Her Royal Highness Princess Jiaping." While talking, she looked at Lin Bi, her eyes full of caution.

Lin Bi shook his head and said: "Princess Ningguo Changle is loyal and filial, she has an outstanding appearance, and she is so affectionate and sexual, and she does not love power and wealth. How can this palace compare to her. Tong'er, you used to be young, My parents are worried that you don’t understand the true meaning of it. If you know it, it’s not good. Mr. Wang told you today. I think you still understand the truth, so you won’t be hindered."

After that, Lin Bi's gaze fell on Wang Ji and said meaningfully: "Mr. Wang, you are young, but you are very knowledgeable. It is really rare."

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Ji, with some doubts and caution.
