Chapter 2540 Counter-intentional plan
The reins of the war horses were tied together, leaving a few soldiers to guard them. The remaining people used the cover of night to quietly sneak into the woods from all directions and slowly approach the houses.
The rain was still pouring down, and the raindrops hit the leaves and fell into the grass. The rustling sound just covered up the sound of footsteps.
In the quiet rainy night, the black images are countless hunting beasts moving deftly and briskly through the woods...
Gao Kan hurried behind his men and walked in the woods like a leisurely stroll. He didn't care that the rain had soaked his clothes. He put one hand on the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist and waited until he got close to the houses. , saw people tied to trees outside The horses on board, as well as the shouting people inside the house, raised their heads to look at the sky, then pulled out the horizontal knife, pointed the sharp tip of the knife at the house, and whispered: "Move quickly, take them all down." ! ”
No one answered the order, all the soldiers drew their swords one after another, and their bodies as strong as civet cats jumped out of the woods and rushed towards several houses quickly.
The dozen or so war horses tied to the trees first neighed "Herod", their bowl-sized hooves plowed on the dirt, and they turned uneasily in circles, but they were unable to break free from the tightly tied horse reins.
No one in the house cared.
In just a few breaths, the soldiers had arrived around the house, kicked down the doors and windows without hesitation, and rushed in like wolves and tigers.
Screams and screams came one after another, breaking the silence in the woods in an instant.
Gao Kan strolled towards the house and couldn't help but look up at the dark sky. The rain was getting heavier...
*****
When His Majesty Li Er walked out of the dormitory and came to the imperial study, the sky was dark outside, and the raindrops dripped down along the glazed tiles on the ridge of the palace, splashing along the auspicious animals carved on the eaves and onto the green bricks in front of the window. There was a thumping sound and water droplets splashed everywhere.
The moist air was cool and pleasant, which slightly relieved the burning sensation in His Majesty Li Er's body. He immediately felt refreshed and felt indescribably comfortable.
He stepped into the room and put a curtain of clear rain behind him.
In the room, Li Junxian saw His Majesty Li Er stepping in and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I will delay Your Majesty's rest and you will be punished by death!"
His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood. He waved his hand and sat behind the desk. He raised his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If there is nothing urgent, how could you go and come back and pay homage to the palace?" If you deserve to be punished by death, don’t you think that I am a foolish king?”
Li Junxian was startled and said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I just..."
His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to pretend to be angry: "You know that I can't punish you for this, but you still want to say that your crime deserves death. In fact, you are just saying it politely? Don't follow the behavior of those corrupt civil servants. Military generals must have the right attitude." As military commanders, I want you to go into battle and fight bloody battles, not to sit in the court and scheming for power all day long!”
"The general will finally be convicted!"
Li Junxian was sweating. He felt that the majesty in front of him seemed to be a little too excited for some reason at the moment. This was not something he could say to his ministers casually. If it spread to him, the people in the court would be shocked. What do civil servants think?
Sweating, Li Junxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers sent by the general to follow the Youtun Guards have returned. It is reported that Gao Kan has already sent those soldiers more than ten miles away from Dashan Pass. The Long disciples caught up, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in a farmhouse between the woods. The Guan Long disciples were unable to fight, and were captured in one fell swoop. "
His Majesty Li Er sat up straight, with a solemn look on his face, and snorted softly, saying: "Can't fight with all your strength? Humph, you can't bring any color to their faces. Those guys are extravagant and ridiculous all day long. It's passed down from their ancestors." I have developed my skills long ago Lost in the sky, facing the elite Youtun Guards trained by Fang Jun, I am afraid that they will collapse in one encounter, right? If I didn’t cry for my father and mother to wet my pants on the spot, I would look down on them!”
It is inevitable that the young men from the Six Towns, who used to fight all over Guanlong and were full of vitality, have lost their vitality and been seriously injured after many years of battles and killings. However, after Zhenguan, he began to indulge in pleasure, luxury and lust, and the speed of his degeneration was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
However, it is precisely because of this that the strategy he formulated to suppress Guan Long can be gradually implemented. Otherwise, if Guan Long's children are still as brave and strong-blooded as before, I am afraid that even if he considers himself to be wise and powerful, he may be forced to defeat Guan Long. The Long aristocrats returned to their old careers and committed rebellion, eventually forcing him, the emperor, to abdicate...
Li Junxian was a little frightened and quickly responded: "Your Majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away, and what he said is true."
His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment, put his left hand on his knee, made a fist with his right hand, and lightly hammered the table in front of him twice, and then asked: "What was the result?"
Even though he was an emperor and had escaped from the Xuanwu Sect alive after a narrow escape, now that he knew that Fang Jun would most likely kill all the Guanlong disciples in order to pass on Guanlong's hatred, he felt a little nervous in his heart. .
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though today's Guanlong nobles are still not the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the past, let alone the largest interest group in the world that controlled more than half of the troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, their power is still there. Once they learn about their clan The middle-aged children were all killed by Fang Jun. Although they would not raise a rebellion and commit rebellion, it was still unknown how they would launch crazy revenge on Fang Jun.
The impact on the political situation is even more difficult to estimate.
Perhaps the most serious crisis since taking the throne is very likely to come after dawn...
Li Junxian glanced back at the door, and then whispered back: "Gao Kan captured all the Guanlong disciples, and then broke a leg of each of them, especially the knee. The bones have been shattered. For the rest of his life, Disability is unavoidable, and even Dr. Sun cannot make it possible They recovered. Gao Kan also threatened that it was Fang Shaobao's warning. It would be an advantage for them to break only one leg this time. If he heard that they committed crimes and oppressed good people in the future, he would have three legs. Let’s break it together!”
"..."
His Majesty Li Er was stunned, his hand clenched into a fist and placed on the table stood there, his face full of surprise.
"Actually...just broke the leg?"
"Indeed, when the people sent by the general came back to report, no one was in danger of their lives."
"Oh..."
His Majesty Li Er fell into deep thought.
From the beginning to the end, everything Fang Jun did was to transfer the conflict between Guan Long and the royal family to him, so as to ease the conflict that was very likely to break out between the royal family and Guan Long.
But does that boy think that just by breaking the legs of these scraps of waste, he can make the Guanlong nobles turn their attention from the royal family to him?
Most of these people are peripheral children of Guanlong. If they die, it will naturally cause a sensation, and the nobles of Guanlong will not be able to endure it. They must take action to retaliate. Otherwise, their prestige will be lost and their hearts will be scattered. How can interest groups incite ministers to join their ranks in the future?
But if it's just a broken leg...
His Majesty Li Er felt that Fang Jun would not be so rash. How could Bang Chui ever be afraid of trouble? Now that you have done it, you should naturally do your best.
He couldn't help but ask: "Did Gao Kan do anything else or say something else?"
Li Junxian quickly took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands, and said: "After the soldiers under my command return, I will record the situation reported by them in detail here. In case of omissions, I ask Your Majesty to read it."
His Majesty Li Er hummed, took the letter, and began to read it carefully.
Generally speaking, such secret operations are not allowed to have written records. Otherwise, if they forget to destroy them and lead to leaks, the consequences will be extremely serious. If it is recorded in the annals of history and passed down to future generations, it will be even more serious. It will become a stain that an emperor can never erase.
A dignified emperor uses a secret service to monitor every move of his ministers. This is an extremely bad behavior and will be reviled forever!
This is absolutely unbearable for His Majesty Li Er, who is obsessed with achieving the grand goal of becoming an emperor for eternity...
But now he was surprised by Fang Jun's actions and found it difficult to understand, so he slightly ignored Li Junxian's mistake in recording the incident.
After reading the letter carefully, Your Majesty Li Er finally breathed out, I see...
The most critical part is that Gao Kan said this when he left: "I think this is your first offender. I have a kind heart, so I let you go once, lest you fools be taken advantage of by those with evil hearts. He fled in confusion and fear of crime, but ended up becoming a scapegoat..."
This sentence is really heartbreaking!
Look, if that family did not send the offending children out of Chang'an City last night, but hid at home or went to Zongzheng Temple to surrender today, that family would be targeted by the other Guanlong families - why should we discuss it? At the same time, these children who had committed the crime were allowed to run away and hide, and as a result, they were killed on the spot, but your family did not do this?
Everyone knows that no matter how bold Fang Jun is, he would not dare to kill anyone in Zongzheng Temple!
Our child died miserably, and the conflict between Guan Long and the royal family was successfully passed on to Fang Jun. All crises were resolved, but your child managed to survive...
What a counter-intuitive plan! (End of chapter)
