Chapter 256: Entering by Mistake
Qian Zhou's face was solemn and silent.
It is one thing to persuade the Son of Heaven to surrender to Wei, and it is another thing to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to surrender to Wei, the former is just the duty of a courtier, but the latter is a real crime of rebellion, Qian Zhou is known as "Confucius in Shu", if you really have to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, whether it is successful or not, the reputation of Zhou will be completely ruined.
Xu You said to Qian Zhou with some excitement: "Gong Chen, the life and death of thousands of scholars in Shu are only tied to your thoughts. ”
"Please take the overall situation first." The crowd spoke in unison. Qian Zhou is currently the highest official position in the local department of Yizhou, and it is also the most prestigious, except for Qian Zhou, others really do not have this leadership ability.
"Father-" Qian Xi said beside him, as if he meant to advise Qian Zhou.
Qian Zhou waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Personal gains and losses, and the future and fate of Sergeant Shu's family, can't be compared after all, it's just that the old man will bear this thousand years of merit and crime!" ”
When everyone saw Zhou agree, they were all overjoyed, as if a big stone in their hearts had finally fallen.
Next, it is a secret discussion on how to act, such a big matter, naturally you can't act hastily, after all, everyone's net worth and life are tied to the first line. Everyone brainstormed and quickly came up with a feasible plan.
In this plan, the most critical point is how to ensure the success of the sneak attack outside Xuanchong Gate and hold Liu Chan hostage. Knowing that although Liu Chan left the palace, his guards were strict, and he should not be underestimated, and it was obviously not easy to break through the siege and capture Liu Chan in the heavily guarded Imperial Forest Army.
The plan proposed by Xu You is. If you mobilize all the troops of the scholar family to participate in the war, you will inevitably be startled, and now you can only take the means of sneak attack, and the major scholars will select the best dead soldiers to carry out this task. Although it is said that the left and right governors of Yulin are all people from the Jingxiang family. But it doesn't mean that the Yulin Army is full of Jingxiang people, in addition to Qian Zhou's two sons Chen Xian and Chen Tong serving as Yulin Lang in the Yulin Army, there are still many children of the Shijia family serving in the Yulin Army, which is definitely a force that can be used.
In the end, it was decided that the dead soldiers of the Shi family would set up an ambush outside the Xuanchong Gate one step in advance, and as soon as the Son of Heaven Luan drove out of the Xuanchong Gate, he would work together with the inner Ying of the Yulin Guard to clear the guards around the Son of Heaven and hold the Son of Heaven hostage. As long as you can take the Son of Heaven hostage, the next thing will be much simpler. The Yulin Army, who served as the Praetorian Guard, would definitely throw a rat trap and would not dare to act rashly. Then the Son of Heaven can be taken hostage to Guan County, west of Chengdu, and Xu You's brother will respond, and at the same time send an envoy to the Wei army camp to surrender to Zhonghui, and when Zhonghui's army enters Chengdu, the overall situation will be decided.
Just when everyone was talking about it, a person suddenly appeared in the lobby. couldn't help but surprise everyone, including Qian Zhou.
The person who came was none other than Bo Chenshou, the head of the lieutenant's mansion.
Chen Shou and Qian Zhou have a teacher-student friendship. This time he was preparing to move the capital to Nanzhong, Chen Shou was also worried about the teacher's elderly health, and before leaving, he came to visit. With the relationship between Chen Shou and Qian Zhou, the guards guarding the door regarded him as their own and did not need to be notified. Directly into the house.
As soon as he walked to the door of the lobby, he heard the noisy sound in the hall, although Chen Shou did not deliberately eavesdrop, but when he approached, those words still floated into his ears. Chen Shou was suddenly taken aback, daring to think that they were plotting against him.
Chen Shou is a Brazilian, a fellow villager with Qian Zhou, and it stands to reason that he also belongs to the local faction of Yizhou, but Chen Shou is now serving in the Lieutenant's Mansion and is on an errand under Liu Yin's hands, so everyone looks at Chen Shou with a different eye.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall was a little cold, and everyone looked at Chen Shou with some surprise, and even a few people had a fierce look in their eyes, and their hands couldn't help but press on the hilt of the sword, everything they discussed was a matter of selling their heads, once it was leaked, they would die without a place to be buried, so they had to be cautious.
Qian Zhou coughed lightly, and said calmly: "Oh, it's Chengzuo who is here, you go to the study first to sit down, and the teacher will come later." ”
Chen Shou also realized that it was inappropriate to continue to stay here, so he bowed and retreated.
Zhou Ju's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and he said to Zhou Zhou: "This Chen Chengzuo is Liu Yin's cronies, the scum of the children of Shuzhong, why don't Gong Chen behead him to prevent future troubles." ”
Qian Zhou shook his head and said: "Since Chengzuo is Liu Yin's cronies, if he dies or disappears, he will definitely attract Liu Yin's attention, won't our plan be in vain?" If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and you must not be impulsive. ”
"Then if Chen Shou reports this matter to Liu Yin, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"
Qian Zhou said: "The relationship between the old man and Chengzuo is extraordinary, so the old man personally persuaded him, he is also a person from Yizhou, sharing weal and woe, I believe he can also recognize the power, you wait a minute, the old man will come when he goes." With that, Qian Zhou got up and walked towards the study.
Chen Shou was still immersed in the shocking news, although he didn't know what the specific deployment of Qian Zhou and others was, but the facts were indisputable, Chen Zhou and others conspired to rebel, Chen Shou couldn't help but be at a loss. In his impression, Mr. Qian was a knowledgeable, virtuous and respected person, honest and loyal, but he never expected that he would actually participate in the murder of the Son of Heaven.
Qian Zhou walked into the study, and Chen Shou hurriedly saluted, claiming to be a teacher. Qian Zhou waved his hand very casually and motioned for Chen Shou to sit down.
"Chengzuo, how did you have time to visit your teacher today?" Qian Zhou's expression was as usual.
"The relocation of the capital is imminent, and the students are concerned about the teacher's body and come to visit." Chen Shou said that this is also his truth.
Qian Zhou said with a serious expression: "Chengzuo, you must have seen that the Yizhou scholars are quite dissatisfied with the relocation of the capital, and they want to admonish the Son of Heaven, but they are not trying to kill the Son of Heaven. Chengzuo, you are also a disciple of Shuzhong, understand what the current situation is, the Yizhou Shi family has no way to retreat, but to fight back and survive. For the teacher, he does not seek fame and wealth, and regards fame and fortune as dung, even if he descends to Wei, he is not subject to the official and half-lord of Wei, just for the sergeant of Shu to be preserved, even if the teacher is ruined, it is not a pity. ”
Chen Shou was silent for a moment and said: "What the teacher did, the students understand, but this matter is extremely dangerous, the teacher may be afraid of his life, and the students may not be able to help." ”
Qian Zhou said: "You don't need to make a move as a teacher, as long as you are silent, this is also the last request for a teacher." (To be continued......)
