There were indeed a lot of visitors in the princess's mansion, and although there were a lot of people who went to Zhongshan to attend the rally, there were also people who were confused and in no mood to participate in this kind of gathering.

For example, several Taiwanese assistants in Taiwan who have been attacked by material discussions, such as Jiangzhou people who are worried about the difficulties of their homeland, and many people even if their families participated, but because they failed to go deep into the core position, although the news brought back was terrifying enough, it was fragmented and could not sort out a context.

Thanks to the printing technology of the Shen family, there are nearly 10,000 copies of the so-called immortal prophecies circulating in the capital today, even if there are no these, the eight words are passed on by word of mouth, and everyone in the capital has long been noisy. Although this proverb is not lacking in obscurity, it is really how sinister the human heart is, which can lead to how vicious it is.

So naturally, there are a lot of people who want to figure out, is this a premeditated conspiracy, or is it really as rumored to be?

The protégés held hundreds of worship posts in their hands to sort out and select, and finally Shen Zhezi came over and chose two priority families, one Xiong Chan, and the other named Deng Zhang, both of whom were the children of the Yuzhang Hao clan in Jiangzhou in Jiankang City.

Xiong recites his people, but Shen Zhezi is more used to it. This person is also flexible, and he is relatively active among the children of the people in Jiangzhou Liudu, and he is also the little brother who often follows Yu Tiao's side. As for Deng Zhang, he is the son of Xin'an Taishou Deng Ling, and he is serving as the secretary of the public government in the capital.

The two were received together, and when they entered, they saw Shen Zhezi wearing a wide coat and a thick hood on his head, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and stepped forward and asked, "Is the horse unwell?" ”

"The mountain dwelling occasionally feels the cold, thank you for your concern."

Shen Zhezi subconsciously touched the ears that were still a little red and swollen from the hood, bowed slightly, and motioned for the two to take a seat.

"I don't know if the horse is sick, it's really rude for me to take the liberty to disturb it."

The two of them each sat down to apologize slightly, and then glanced at each other, and then Xiong Yu, who was more familiar with Shen Zhezi, said: "It's just that the day before yesterday, I was shocked to hear the evil prophecy, and I really couldn't calm my heart, and I couldn't ask for many helps, so I could only pay a visit with a cheeky face, and beg the horse to solve my doubts." ”

Shen Zhezi was not surprised to see the two of them looking worried and worried at the banquet. Although there are many parties in the current situation, the strong can take the initiative to attack and grasp the direction of the current situation, and the weak can only passively bear and be coerced forward by the current situation. In terms of the current situation, Jiangzhou people naturally belong to the latter.

That proverb seems to have nothing to do with the people of Jiangzhou, but the Wang Shu referred to in the proverb has a lot to do with Jiangzhou. Therefore, the people of Jiangzhou want to find out whether this is a conspiracy or a simple coincidence, which is closely related to their net worth and life.

"What do you want to disturb, a good friend comes to ask, I naturally know everything."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile, it is precisely because he understands the nervous mood of Jiangzhou people that he gives priority to meeting them, because the next thing still needs the strong cooperation of Jiangzhou people.

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, the two of them were happy, but this joy was only short-lived, and in the face of such a bad situation, it was really difficult to get better.

After a little silence, Xiong Yu spoke: "The day before yesterday, Zhongshan gathered, and the horse was also here, I would like to ask the horse, and now the evil prophecy passed on in the capital, is it really the immortal who came to the world?" ”

Shen Zhezi laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "If Xiong Jun asks me for my opinion, I don't know the mysteries of the magic technique, and it is difficult to say deeply. But there is one point, Fang Shizhi's words are obscure and unfathomable, even if there is a forcible twist, it must stop circulating, and the minister must not be slandered by it! ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, both of them were stunned, but they didn't expect the colt to deny the credibility of the proverb so simply. But the question is, if you don't believe it, why do you spread it all over the city?

After all, it was Deng Zhang's experience in Taiwan, and he had seen a lot of inconsistencies, so he said: "What the horse has seen is indeed wise. But now that evil is all over the city, the foolish will inevitably be deceived, and not everyone may be wise. Most of the rumors refer to the fact that now the king of Jiangzhou is the king, and we and other villagers will inevitably be suspicious, and they do not want to see the king and the king being slandered, and even the town has no heart to do anything. If you slander for a long time, you will be ruined, and I don't know if Taiwan and Zhugong can have a strategy to deal with it and calm down the public? ”

Jiangzhou people naturally don't care about Wang Shu being attacked by rumors, just a period of time ago, Wang Shu's behavior in Jiangzhou made the relationship between the two sides extremely bad, and they even wished that Wang Shu was attacked by rumors and was completely skinned, and even directly seized office. But they are worried about Wang Shu's reaction after learning about the rumors!

Regardless of whether this proverb is true or not, since it has been spread so fiercely, it will inevitably be used by people with intentions, such as Shen Yuma, who does not believe in rumors in front of him! They are all messing around in the current situation, and how many of them are upright gentlemen?

Therefore, when they came to see Shen Zhezi this time, they mainly wanted to inquire about what kind of actions Shen Zhezi would make here later, whether they wanted to spare no effort to hit Wang Shu, or stay out of the matter and only use small actions to add to Wang Shu's blockage. Knowing this, they can consider how they should deal with themselves later, whether to rise up against the expulsion of Wang Shu, or to swallow their anger and continue to endure Wang Shu's ravages in the countryside.

Deng Jun's words inevitably underestimated the king's envoy. He is burdened by the responsibility of the country and sits in the southwest, if he is uneasy and loses his duty because of rumors and slander, he really loses the physique of a minister and is not worthy of his position! ”

Seeing that Shen Zhezi was still playing official here, not to mention reality, the two of them looked at each other, and they were full of helplessness. Although he was already dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to attack, who made his strength inferior to others.

"What the horse said, it is true that it is wise, but I am afraid that the king may not be able to hold himself in this way. Earlier, there was a lot of unquiet in the township, and the horses should have known about it. Now that there is a new predicament, we and other villagers are really afraid that it will be even more difficult for you to deal with yourself! ”

Xiong Yu said with a bitter face: "I came to see the horse today, I am really in distress, full of sorrows, and I want to beg for a way to save myself." I also hope that the horse can miss the old friendship and give advice. ”

"What Xiong Jun said, I deeply agree. In my early years, I was a fellow villager in Wuzhong, so I didn't have this difficulty. Only by saving oneself can we be at peace! ”

After a long time, Shen Zhezi finally said the truth: "I do have a strategy here, whether I use it or not, I still need Xiong Jun and other township sects to do it." Jiangzhou is not independent of the dust, and it has been chaotic for a long time, and all the surrounding towns will be implicated. The other township is out of government, and Fang Boqi is not responsible? If you can't be at peace inside, why not help outside? Jing, Yu, and Dongyang, if they can rise up together and help each other, how can there be a place where thieves have been abused for a long time? ”

"Outside the country? But ......"

Xiong Yu didn't react for a while, and his words were hesitant, but Deng Zhang's face changed suddenly, and his body couldn't help leaning forward, and asked: "However, even if you ask for help, you may not be able to untie the blade on your neck!" ”

"If it's a fierce place, why don't you stay for a long time? It's better to run away than to sit back and wait for death. ”

Shen Zhezi laughed again, and then said in a deep voice: "The matter is big, and the two of you may be difficult to decide, so it's okay." However, the sooner we can return to our safe place. ”

"Thank you for your advice, if you can survive this misfortune in the future, you will come to the door again to thank you for your guidance!"

Deng Zhang got up and thanked him, and then pulled Xiong Chan, who was still a little confused, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"Brother Deng Shi, what the horse said, I still have a lot of unknowing, and I still have to ask for advice, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

After leaving the princess's mansion and boarding the car, Xiong Yucai said with a puzzled expression.

Deng Zhang sighed after hearing this, and said: "Don't ask again, it's useless to ask more, this matter is no longer up to you and me, so let's go back to the family as soon as possible." This time, Wang Chuming is afraid that it will be difficult to escape this misfortune! ”

The ox cart soon left Wuyi Lane and drove into the bustle of the city.

After sending away the two people in Jiangzhou, Shen Zhezi was not idle here, and Yu Tiao hurriedly entered the mansion again.

"Rumors are not enough, and it is even more difficult to hurt Wang Chuming, a high-ranking minister. Please pack up as soon as possible and go to Liyang's second uncle to prepare to pick up the fugitives in Jiangzhou. ”

Yu Tiao had just sat down, and before he could speak, Shen Zhezi had already spoken.

"The people of Jiangzhou fled?"

Yu Tiao was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Shen Zhezi nodded: "Yes, rumors are not enough to kill people, but they can disintegrate people's hearts." After the king knows that he will not be able to settle down, and if he wants to consolidate himself, he will defend the town. Earlier, he rectified the rule and lost the hearts of the people, and the various families in Jiangzhou fought back with grievances and broke their minions, which can be described as deep resentment and insoluble grievances. If Wang Chuming wants to take the town, he will be impoverished by the township. If Jiangzhou Haozong wants to protect himself, going out to help is the only way out! ”

Whether the rumors are true or not, Wang Shu knows best, others may be able to laugh at them, but he definitely can't be at ease, he wants to get the greatest self-protection power in the shortest possible time, and naturally there is no time to screen and win over the people of Jiangzhou. And the people of Jiangzhou had abolished Wang Shu's minion Guo Mo under the instigation of Shen Zhezi, and they were naturally worried that Wang Shu would double down on them.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the atmosphere of serious antagonism between them will definitely reach a peak, and there is absolutely no possibility of shaking hands and making peace. The people of Jiangzhou themselves did not have enough strength to expel Wang Shu, so the best option was to flee and turn to the rest of the towns for help.

In this way, other towns have an excuse to meddle in Jiangzhou's affairs.

From the beginning of Shen Zhezi's work, he wrote to Tao Kan in Jingzhou, hoping that he could suspend the war against Xiangyang, and even allow Jiangzhou. This temptation is not small, once Jiangzhou starts, Tao Kan can be said to be in charge of half of Jiangdong. Moreover, Jiangzhou was originally a place to check and balance Jingzhou's division, once Jiangzhou can be obtained, there is no worries about retreating, and it is much more important to have the backing of Jiangzhou's money and grain than simply taking Xiangyang! Moreover, once Jingjiang is under control, then it can be multiplied for the capture of Xiangyang and Jiuzhi.

Therefore, after weighing it, Tao Kan also approved Shen Zhezi's proposal and decided to join in. With the oppression of Jingzhou, the blocking of the channel between Yuzhou and the center, and the encirclement of the side of Dongyangzhou, Wang Shu is sure to die!

Yu Tiao has only understood all of Shen Zhezi's layout so far, and he was already dumbfounded after hearing the words. He was originally happy that with the so-called immortal oracle, he could greatly deal a blow to the prestige of the Langya Wang clan and Wang Shu, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhezi would put him to death when he made a move here!

"However, the big town of Jiangzhou was handed over to the dog, is the price too great? Moreover, it may not be able to balance them in the future! ”

It's just that it didn't take long for Yu Tiao to frown.

"That's why I want my uncle to go to Liyang, although Tao Gong's old Xun is thick, but he is not popular. The families in Jiangzhou fled, and the first choice was definitely not Jingzhou. At that time, the uncle will gather these remnants of the catastrophe in Liyang, and the uncle may need to enter the county in the future. ”

Shen Zhezi has done such a big game, of course, it is impossible to simply kill Wang Shu and give the benefits to Tao Kan. The name can be given, but the actual benefits will not be let go. Moreover, Tao Kan's benefit to a state is only an expedient measure, not a great merit, in order to stabilize the gain, the offensive against Xiangyang in the coming day must not be sloppy.

At the same time, Jiangzhou can be said to have more than doubled its power, and there will inevitably be turmoil and adjustment in Tao Kan's department. This is also a good time for Shen Zhezi to officially intervene in Jingzhou's affairs, and solve the current situation that Taichung has little ability to interfere in Jingzhou's affairs. Taking a step back, even if you want to turn against Tao Kan in the future, it will be much easier than dealing with the Wang family. Even if you don't say anything, Tao Kan's age is the biggest weakness.

Although Yu Tiao was still a little hesitant, he didn't say anything more when he saw that Shen Zhezi was sure of what he said. Shen Zhezi didn't tell him too much, and asked Hurun and others, who had already been prepared, to lead the department and follow Yu Tiao to Liyang. What to do after arriving in the town, Yu Yi must know better than Shen Zhezi.

After sending Yu Tiao away, Shen Zhezi summoned Ren Qiu again and instructed him to contact the people of Jiangzhou in the capital. The purpose is simple, sell insurance!

Jiangzhou will inevitably be in turmoil in the future, and even if Tao Kan can become the master, the situation will be much more complicated. If there is really a need for a big war to solve it, the deepest victims are undoubtedly those local families in Jiangzhou. Therefore, at present, while the fight has not yet started, we will deepen the encirclement and restraint of the Jiangzhou people. Let them clarify the bulk industries such as manors and acres, buy insurance one by one according to the proportion, and compensate them if there is a loss afterwards.

As for whether the people of Jiangzhou recognize this kind of protection or not, Shen Zhezi doesn't care, anyway, it's not him who is about to suffer, sell one to earn one. As for the situation that really needs compensation, when the time comes, it will be directly deducted from the return due to the three families who destroyed the king, and by the way, they will earn another favor.

As that proverb detonated the public opinion of the entire Jiankang City, many of Shen Zhezi's induced arrangements were also put into practice one by one.

However, the noise of public opinion in the capital is actually calmer than Shen Zhezi's expectations. On the one hand, Wang Dao began to vigorously recommend those Shi Xian who entered the capital to participate in the Qing Meeting, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to request the palace guards to be on duty in the Taiji Palace.

Both of these measures can be described as very timely, first of all, the main force of the discussion of the proverb in the capital is the people who participated in the Qing discussion. These people are not in their positions, and they are inevitably resentful, and they are keen to guess those who are in power with the greatest malice. As for the real incumbent Taiwanese ministers and ordinary people, they are not very enthusiastic about this, the former is afraid of not expressing their status well, and the latter does not care about or cannot reach that level.

As Situ, Director Wang has the responsibility of presiding over the Qing discussion, and it is reasonable to recommend Shi Xian, but the strength is too great, and he almost does not ask about the merits. Taichung's acceptance or not is secondary, but this behavior is too good to buy people's hearts. Those who participated in the Qing Conference, no one knew whether the Taibao would recommend them next, so naturally it was not good to criticize the Wang family again.

Shen Zhezi also foresaw this, after all, this is Wang Dao's strength, in the face of the persecution of Yu Liang and Tao Kan in history, in addition to using Xi Jian as foreign aid, he used this means to consolidate his position, so as to gather assistance.

Since there is foresight, then there will naturally be a belly case. Taking advantage of the fact that Director Wang was there without asking about the virtuous and foolish, Shen Zhezi motioned to Cao Li and the other fake clans who had just buried their ancestors to go to the Wang family. If you dare to recommend, I dare to adulterate. If you dare to question the family history of these people, then reveal more details about your family's murder.

As for entering the Taiji Palace, it is the most powerful means to fight back against rumors. People say that the Wang family is evil and harms rice, but Wang Taibao can still defend the emperor's near shore at this time, which shows that the emperor still trusts him.

The queen mother naturally wanted to refuse, but she was persuaded by Shen Zhezi. Being able to get rid of Wang Shu this time is the best result, but as for the entire Langya Wang clan, the goal is too big to succeed. As long as Wang Dao can be forced to give Wang Shu more assistance, the purpose of this proverb has been achieved.

Things have come to this point, Shen Zhezi has done almost everything he should do, and the next thing is to see if the three major towns such as Daddy have gone smoothly for Jiangzhou's military compulsion.
