I Raise Spiders in Pansi Cave

Yu Wenchang said: "It may not be General Zhuang, but it happened by coincidence, maybe someone is behind the scenes, and General Zhuang is just being used by others. Fortunately, the king is wise and did not agree to this matter."

Yuan Mao nodded and didn't speak, obviously agreeing with Yuwen Changzai's words.

To be honest, Qi Wufei also admires Yuwen Changzai very much. Although he has thought of this aspect himself, Yuwen Changzai's analysis is more organized.

Seeing that Yuan Mao was silent, Yu Wenchang continued, "My minister said just now that you should be more careful just because the king didn't agree to this matter."

"Be careful of what?"

"Beware of Li Jing's people using this to fan the old king's old department to support the young prince. Once the king gives up the throne to the young prince, the young prince is young and ignorant, and he is eager for revenge. He will probably agree to open the barrier. Once it comes, the country will perish.”

Yuan Mao said: "Xiaobao is not young anymore, and I think the people around him are also not simple, especially the staff officer, who is quite courageous, so he should not be confused."

Yu Wenchang said anxiously: "My lord, this is not the time to talk about friendship. We don't know the origin of the people around the little prince. How do we know that they are not Li Jing's people?"

As soon as Qi Wufei heard it, he knew it was going to be bad. Is this Yuwen Chang going to persuade Yuan Mao to kill someone?The key point is that what he said is reasonable, and it is obvious that Yuan Mao has been moved.Yuan Mao originally wanted to cleanse dissidents and consolidate his dominant position, but Yuan Xiaobao always had a chance of life, and now that Yu Wenchang said so, the remaining chance of life was gone.

I have to find a way to run quickly.

Chapter 690 Five, not playing cards according to common sense

Yuan Mao seemed to be moved by Yu Wenchang, and asked, "What is Ai Qing's good plan?"

Yu Wenchang said: "I have three strategies to offer to the king. I don't know which strategy the king wants?"

Qi Yufei, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, couldn't help but want to complain, why have these counselors always divided into top, middle and bottom when offering advice throughout the ages?At first I thought it was just a fabrication of a family cliché, but I didn't expect to encounter it myself.

"Then let's talk about the best policy first." Yuan Mao said lazily.

Yu Wenchang said: "The king can follow the example of Yao and Shun in ancient times, and give up the throne to the young prince, so as to achieve the good name of the king's benevolence and righteousness. The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely admire the five bodies of the king, and the young prince will also be grateful for the kindness of the king. In this way, the whole world will be in harmony." , the weather will be smooth, and the country will prosper."

After Yu Wenchang finished speaking, not to mention Yuan Mao, even Qi Fufei frowned.

What kind of policy is this?

If he was willing to abdicate, Yuan Mao would have given up a long time ago, and we still have to wait for Yu Wenchang to speak?

Yuan Mao sighed and said: "Oh, my brother gave me my position. Now that Xiaobao is back, it is reasonable for me to give up my position. But Xiaobao is still young and his cultivation level is still shallow. Can you convince the crowd? We are in the gap between the heaven and the earth. The sky does not allow me, and the earth does not allow me. We have to guard the secluded spring to prevent the death of the secluded qi from rising up. The responsibility is heavy and the crisis is heavy. The matter of abdication is not appropriate for the time being. , I’ll talk about it when Xiaobao grows up. Tell me about your strategy.”

Yu Wenchang had been prepared for a long time, smiled slightly, and said: "As the old saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Let alone a country? The king also said that we are in the gap between heaven and earth, and we have heavy responsibilities. Internal troubles have arisen. So I simply do nothing and keep going..."

He set up his palm as a knife, and pressed down lightly, "No future troubles! This is not inhumanity. For the great responsibility on our shoulders, and for the long-term stability of the Yongjin Kingdom, this is giving up small righteousness for great benevolence!"

Qi Wufei was terrified when he heard that, this Yuwen Changzai was really poisonous, so Zhongce directly proposed such a decisive idea.

Qi Wufei knows that whenever there are three strategies, the best strategy is generally impossible, which is tantamount to farting.It must be a bad move, and the incumbent will never agree.Only the middle strategy is the real intention of the person who proposes the strategy.The reason why we still have to put forward countermeasures is just as a comparison, so that the coach can make decisions faster and choose the best plan.

But why did this Yuwen Changzai propose such a strategy?

He has become the prime minister, so it is unlikely that he did it to flatter Yuanmao.

Could it be that he had an enmity with Yuan Tingbi, so he wanted to kill Yuan Xiaobao?

However, I heard from General Yin before that Yuwen Changzai, Zhou Xin, Liang Cai, and Zhuang Heng were all Yuan Tingbi's former subordinates. According to General Yin, these people are more reliable than Yuan Mao.But since Qi Wufei entered the ghost country, what he has seen and heard seems to be completely different.

First of all, Zhuang Heng was behaving abnormally, and now he was digging a secret tunnel with 5000 people. No matter how you looked at it, it looked a bit like he wanted to inform Li Jing.

But this Yuwen Changzai sowed discord in front of Yuan Mao, trying to instigate Yuan Mao to kill Yuan Xiaobao, which was extremely unreasonable.

Yuan Mao frowned, stared at Yuwen Changzai closely, and asked, "Is the Prime Minister's statement true?"

"Your Majesty, what I say comes from the bottom of my heart, out of righteousness, and without selfishness!" Yu Wenchang, with a dignified look of righteousness, suddenly showed grief on his face, and said heartbrokenly, "This minister has been deeply hurt by you." The kindness of the old king, I shouldn't have made this policy, but I am in the position of prime minister. For the sake of the peace of my family and the country, there will be no civil strife, so I have to say it. If there is an unjust name, I am willing to bear it! The king can rule the minister. Sin, I will never say anything!"

Yuan Mao waved his hand and said: "I asked you to offer advice, so you should speak freely. What's the crime? Besides, you are also out of public interest, not for your own self-interest. It's just that although I am not a sage, virtuous and benevolent, I am not a tyrannical person. Have the heart to kill my own nephew? Let this matter go, don’t bring it up again. Tell me about your worst plan.”

"Your Majesty is truly a king of benevolence and righteousness. He has the legacy of an ancient sage. I admire you!" Yu Wenchang patted a few words of flattery, then seemed a little hesitant, "Is this a bad idea?

Yuan Mao said: "I have said that I can speak freely, you don't have to be scruples, just speak quickly!"

Yu Wenchang said: "Please forgive my sin first."

"What is the prime minister's crime?"

"I'm not guilty, but I'm afraid I'm guilty if I say this bad plan."

"When did the prime minister become such a mother-in-law? Alright, I forgive you for your innocence, now you can speak!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Yu Wenchang bowed and said, "The so-called bad policy is actually to find another way out for us in Yongjin Kingdom and the 2000 Yin Gods in the country. We are trapped in this enchantment, and the sky doesn't care. , It seems to be very free, but in fact it is no different from being in prison. It has been [-] years, and the outside world is changing with each passing day, but we are trapped here and cannot get out at all. Living like this is no way after all.”

Yuan Mao said: "Just now General Zhuang proposed to break the barrier, didn't the Prime Minister hold a negative opinion?"

Yu Wenchang said: "It is of course inappropriate to break the barrier directly. Once the barrier is broken, fifty thousand Yin gods will be exposed in broad daylight, and where can they go if there is no shelter? What's more, because of the relationship between the old king and the demon sect, The Heavenly Court has long regarded us as the followers of the Demon Cult, and Li Jing's Heavenly Soldiers are outside, with our [-] ghost soldiers, can we really fight against the Heavenly Court's army?"

"What does the prime minister mean...?"

"I want to go out, but I have to find a way out first."

"Where is the way out?"

"It's just outside."

"Outside?" Yuan Mao asked puzzled, "Isn't the outside surrounded by Li Jing's army?"

Yu Wenchang nodded and said, "Li Jing is our way out."

"How do you explain this?"

"My lord, please think about it. What Li Jing is looking for is nothing more than the merits of one battle. However, there is a saying in the art of war that the one who surrenders the enemy without fighting is the superior general. The purpose of the Heavenly Court is to cut off the remnants of the demon sect, so as to prevent future troubles. Li Jing's purpose is to seek military exploits. As long as we make peace with Li Jing and return to the Heavenly Court, Li Jing can achieve success without a single soldier, and he can get my fifty thousand soldiers to help him, so why not do it?"

Yuan Mao pondered: "But in this way, wouldn't we have violated the original intention of the saint to set up the enchantment, and also violated the oath we made at the beginning, how can the soldiers be reconciled?"

Yu Wenchang said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong! We have been guarding here for more than 2000 years, and we have not crossed the threshold. How can we go against our original intention? Even if the saint comes again, he will not blame us. What's more, taking refuge in the heaven does not mean We are going to break our oath. It is impossible for Heaven to ignore the death of the Netherworld River, and we can still stay here. The only difference is that we were justified at that time, and we could come in and out at will, and no longer be trapped here. As long as we know it How could the soldiers of the country not agree with emotion?”

After hearing this, Qi Wufei shouted in his heart, cunning, cunning!

There are three strategies: up, middle and down. This is the real purpose of Yuwen Chang.

This prime minister is a bit unreasonable!

He can now almost conclude that Yuwen Changzai is the one who was bribed by Li Jing.The previous objection to Zhuang Heng's proposal to break the barrier was completely fake.Because he knew that Yuan Mao could not agree.

At this time, he proposes to take refuge in the Heavenly Court in exchange for greater freedom. This plan is indeed very attractive, and the risk of directly breaking the barrier is not the same.

It's just that Qi Wufei really wants to know, now that the secret passage leading to the outside world has been destroyed by General Yin, how can he contact Li Jing without breaking the barrier?

Another point, are Zhuang Heng and Yu Wenchang together?The two of them sang together in front of the hall, were they singing a double reed, or was Zhuang Heng being used by Yuwen Changzai?

Yuan Mao frowned tightly, without saying a word, obviously thinking about the pros and cons of the so-called three strategies proposed by Yu Wenchang.In fact, he has already rejected the above two strategies, so what he is considering now should be the worst strategy.

After a while, Yuan Mao leaned forward, apparently about to speak, but before he could speak, he leaned back on the chair again, looked up at the roof, but his eyes were empty.

Yu Wenchang was standing there, still half-bowed, but with a confident smile on his face.

After a long time, Yuan Mao finally stood up and said, "Prime Minister is worthy of being a prime minister! This king has thought about it, so I will choose your best policy according to what you said, and I will announce it to the world tomorrow. This king will give up the throne to Xiao precious!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yu Wenchang was dumbfounded, looking like a zombie.

Qi Wufei was also taken aback, this king doesn't play cards according to common sense!

------------

Chapter 690 six, change plan

The cards are not played according to common sense, this game is a bit interesting.

Qi Wufei recalled the days when he worked so hard to refine the Eighteen Self-Motion Talismans just to win dozens of purple coins.

It's also playing cards, see how big they are playing, betting their lives and the fate of the country!

He decided, this deck of cards, I follow!

Of course Yuan Mao and Yu Wenchang didn't know what Qi Wufei was thinking.Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't take it seriously, because they didn't regard him as an opponent at all, and they didn't even have the qualifications to be on the poker table.

At this moment, Yuan Mao was very relaxed, as if he had just unloaded a heavy burden.Anyone who sees it will not doubt his sincerity in preparing to abdicate the throne.

But Qi Wufei felt that it was not that simple.

If Yuan Mao really had the heart to give way, why should he put them under house arrest?Wasn't he afraid that Yuan Tingbi's old department would make trouble with Yuan Xiaobao?

But right now it doesn't look like it's a fake, and you can't just go back on what you promised in front of the prime minister.

It was precisely at this level that Yuwen Changzai caught Yuanmao's trap and proposed three strategies: top, middle and bottom.

He compared it with the bullshit strategy of surrender, which is to remind Yuanmao that your throne is not stable and there is a risk of losing it at any time. The purpose is to make him consider taking refuge in the heaven and find a stable backer.

Even if Yuan Mao agrees to Zhongce, Yuwen Changzai also has a strategy to deal with it.He can take advantage of Yuan Mao's desire to kill Yuan Xiaobao, instigate the rebellion of old officials in the court, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It's just that he didn't expect Yuan Mao to agree to the best policy even if he didn't fall for it.

Yu Wenchang stood there stiffly like a zombie for a few minutes, finally bowed and said, "King Rende!"

I don't know if these words are flattering, or the helpless truth.

Yuan Mao looked expressionless, glanced at Yu Wenchang, and said: "I'm tired today, if the prime minister has nothing else to do, then step down, and tomorrow I will summon the courtiers to announce the matter."

Just as Yu Wenchang left, a person appeared behind Yuan Mao like a ghost.

Qi Wufei was taken aback, he didn't see how this person came out, his first feeling was that someone was going to assassinate Yuan Mao.

But suddenly Yuan Mao said: "Yuan En, follow up."

It was only then that Qi Wufei realized that this person was Yuan Mao's personal bodyguard, and based on his name, he should also belong to the royal family.

Yuan En said: "Prime Minister Yuwen's cultivation level is not low, I'm afraid it will be exposed."

Yuan Mao said: "You just need to see where he went, and you don't need to get too close."

Yuan En cupped his fists and bowed, said "yes", and disappeared into the hall.

Qi Wufei suddenly felt interesting.

It is estimated that Yuan Mao will not have any movement here for the time being, let's see how he will give in tomorrow, whether it is true, or a feint.

Now Yu Wenchang must still be in a daze. King Yuan didn't play cards according to common sense.

There will be a showdown tomorrow, and Qi Wufei really wants to know what cards the prime minister has in his hand.At the same time, he was also curious about how Yu Wenchang delivered the news to Li Jing when the channel was blocked.

So he also left the palace and followed.

Yu Wenchang walks in no hurry, but he has the bearing of a prime minister.Although he was caught off guard by Yuan Mao's unreasonable behavior, he couldn't see the slightest bit of anxiety.

Qi Wufei looked at his back and felt that such a person would probably be able to get a good official position if he went to the heaven, no wonder he would seek refuge with Li Jing.
