Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 519: Yang Lang's Ingenious Plan VS Wang Lang's Ingenious Plan
Wanyan Hongkang and Shangguan Luo left, waving their sleeves, one taking away peach blossoms and the other taking away peaches.

Only the peach branches of Kong Yanzhou were left, disheveled in the wind.

He originally planned to give a daughter to Yang Yuan in order to establish a relationship with the Prince of Yue's Palace.

But now he bypassed Yang Yuan and got in touch directly with the Prince of Yue?
However, he wanted to find a cheap son-in-law by pulling Yang Yuan in. What about the young Prince Wanyan and himself?
Am I the ex-husband's brother?
I just... don’t understand.

Wanyan Hongkang and Shangguan Luo took Tao'er and her daughter back to their residence.

They and Yang Yuan now live in the same large courtyard, but each has their own small courtyard.

When they were about to "part ways", Shangguan Luo looked at Wanyan Hongkang and felt a little embarrassed.

He brought back his daughter Tao'er, and "Li Xunfeng" brought back his mother Taohua. What will happen to them from now on?
After Shangguan Luo settled Tao'er, he immediately went to find Yang Yuan.

This is a very ambitious young man.

He had always regarded Yang Yuan as the prince of Yue, the Anbanbojilie of the Jurchens, and the future crown prince of the New Great Jin, the person he would assist all his life.

Kong Yanzhou is such an unfilial son. If he is reused by the crown prince, he will definitely be a big stain on the new dynasty in the future.

Therefore, he had to advise the prince to keep a certain distance from Kong Yanzhou.

As for "Li Xunfeng", the real Wanyan Hongkang, he is a brave young man who does what he thinks.

He doesn't have to consider as much as Shangguan Luo.

At this time, he had closed the door.

Naturally, one must enjoy the beautiful concubine he has just married as soon as possible.

Taohua was grateful to Wanyan Hongkang, and liked that he was young and strong, so naturally she wanted to flatter and please her new master.

So, one is the door of heaven opening and the door of earth entering, and the other is the peach blossoms on both sides of the bank blooming in the water.

Let’s put aside the romantic affairs here for now. Yang Yuan is currently reading a letter thoughtfully.

It is said to be one letter, but in fact it should be two letters.

One of them was written by Li Taigong, and inside Li Taigong's letter was a letter shot from Shangjing City.

The letter was first delivered to the Prince of Yue's Mansion, and then forwarded by someone sent by the Fourth Aunt.

The letter said that Wang Erbin, the deputy governor of Shangjing City, whose power and status were second only to Wanyan Yan, had gathered a number of officials and generals and decided to surrender the city.

But they put forward a condition, that they would negotiate with Anbanbojilie Wanyan Hongkang.

Suddenly seeing Shangguan Luo arrive, Yang Yuan smiled and asked, "Is the matter settled?"

Shangguan Luo said: "Yes, it seems that Kong Yanzhou is really eager to change his school. As soon as the student said it, he agreed.

Not only that, Li Xunfeng took a fancy to one of his concubines, and he generously gave her to her."

"This kid..."

Yang Yuan laughed in silence, handed the letter over and said, "Mr. Shangguan, take a look at this."

Shangguan Luo took the letter, glanced at it for a few seconds, and said in surprise: "Great! Shangjing City is within reach!"

Shangguan Luo said solemnly: "Sir, the sooner they surrender, the sooner the situation in the north can be stabilized.

I think the Crown Prince should write to Du Bojilie to discuss the matter of the Alliance Leader formally ascending to the throne."

"Oh?" Yang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Isn't that a little too hasty?"

Shangguan Luo shook his head and said, "The situation in the north is different. It is not appropriate for us to lie dormant and endure, and plot secretly.

The three northern frontier armies are now maintaining neutrality. In fact, they are just waiting for a good price.

However, since the King of Yue did not establish a country, ascend the throne, and claim the title of emperor, there was no reward that could attract or convince them.

Moreover, the King of Yue was a member of the royal family, and only by ascending the throne and becoming emperor as soon as possible could he maintain his righteousness and compete with Wanyan Liang.

Therefore, the students believed that after our army occupied Shangjing City, we should urge the King of Yue to return and ascend the throne to become emperor as soon as possible.

By then, it will be much easier to recruit the three border troops to surrender."

Yang Yuan nodded and smiled, "Sir, what you said makes sense. I will discuss this with Fourth Aunt and the others as soon as possible."

Shangguan Luo said solemnly: "Once the King of Yue becomes the emperor, the prince will be the crown prince. There are some things that we must be on guard against early."

As he spoke, he told Yang Yuan about his concerns about opposing Kong Yanzhou.

"My Lord, this man was a thief, then accepted amnesty from the Song Dynasty, then rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and was accepted amnesty from the Jin Dynasty.

He rebelled against the Kingdom of Jin and was recruited by the King of Zhao. Now he wants to betray the King of Zhao and defect to the King of Yue.

To the country, this person has no loyalty and integrity. Now, he is greedy for beauty and even abandons human ethics. Such people must be cursed for all eternity!

Although the prince cannot do without him now, he still needs to keep his distance from him, otherwise his reputation will be affected by him sooner or later."

After hearing this, Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Since this person is so unbearable, sir, have you ever thought about getting rid of him?"

Shangguan Luo said: "People like this are naturally not worthy of living in this world.

However, he is still a man of Zhao Wang Wanyan Dari, and he came to the capital to obey the orders of the crown prince.

If the prince kills him for no reason, it will also greatly damage his reputation, and it will also anger the King of Zhao and cause a rift between the two families, so..."

Yang Yuan flicked the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Erbin and his men want to surrender without telling Wan Yanyan, which is naturally a good thing for us.

But who do you think would be unhappy? "

Shangguan Luo was startled and said, "Who would be unhappy? Of course it would be Wanyan Liang from Yanjing and Wanyan Yan from Shangjing?"

"Anymore?"

"And... huh?"

Shangguan Luo knew that he would not ask this question without reason, so he thought about it seriously. His mind suddenly moved, but he still looked at Yang Yuan with some uncertainty and asked tentatively: "The tribes that besieged Shangjing?"

Yang Yuan said happily: "That's right! They are besieging Shangjing City, and they know that they will be able to capture Shangjing City sooner or later, and then divide up the palaces, shops and wealth in Shangjing City.

But now the people stationed in Shangjing City and who have seized all the wealth in Shangjing City want to surrender. Do you think they will be happy?"

Yang Yuan shook the letter in his hand and smiled, "Why do you think Old Master Li didn't discuss with the tribes about Wang Erbin's surrender of the city, but secretly wrote this letter and sent it together with the arrow letter?"

Shangguan Luo suddenly understood.

Everyone has different interests. For the King of Yue, stabilizing the north as soon as possible and ascending the throne as emperor as soon as possible is his greatest interest.

To this end, other interests can be given up.

But for each tribe, they have neither the strength nor the opportunity to aspire for the supreme throne, so pursuing nature is a more realistic and direct way to realize it.

But once Wang Erbin and his men took the initiative to offer the city and negotiated the terms, they would be given high positions and generous salaries, which would take up some places for others.

Naturally, they cannot redistribute the wealth they have already possessed.

Yang Yuan said maliciously: "We are very happy that Wang Erbin has surrendered the city. But the tribes will be very unhappy.

If we keep Kong Yanzhou, he will be a disaster sooner or later, but if we kill him, he will immediately become a disaster again.

So is there any way to solve these two problems at the same time? "

Shangguan Luo thought about it and said excitedly: "Student has figured it out!"

Yang Yuan encouraged: "Speak your mind."

"Students thought they could use ..."

Shangguan Luo stopped talking here.

He looked at Yang Yuan and said solemnly, "Sir, I already understand.

Please let the students take care of this matter. Your Highness, you don’t know about this matter, so you don’t need to intervene at all.”

His master is the future crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty and cannot have any stain on him.

Therefore, he just needs to do the dirty work, and his lord must distance himself from it.

Yang Yuan sighed secretly in his heart.

Who wouldn’t want such a staff?
It’s a pity that what Shangguan Luo wanted was to be involved in the national struggle, plan for the world, and become a general or a prime minister in the future.

And I... am now just a Tongpan in Lin'an Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, and ranked fourth.

Even if I go back this time to reward him and give him a promotion, I can't give him what he wants.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan sighed softly in his heart, inevitably feeling a little melancholy.

……

In the evening, when it was time to remove makeup, Mrs. Jin cleverly dressed up.

The bright red on the lips is like a drop of unapplied rouge, making the face look unusually bright.

The snow-white collar of the midi bra is ironed around her graceful swan-like neck, just like the tight mouth of a blue and white porcelain vase.

The snow-white dress had only a black and gold edge on the lapel, which went down the side of the neck and wrapped around the armpits, forming a graceful curve.

A strand of black hair was left beside the bun, as if intentionally or unintentionally, and it hung slightly on one side of her white jade-like face, making her look as playful and charming as a young girl.

"Hey! I...I need to go see Master Yang."

Jin Yuzhen was talking to Wang Shuai, and she felt inexplicably frustrated and guilty about something that was clearly the right thing to do.

As soon as Yang Yuan returned to Huanxi Ridge, he had too many people to meet and too many things to do.

Therefore, she didn't have a chance to meet him the whole day yesterday.

It's the same today.

Jin Yuzhen had been thinking of finding another opportunity to visit Yang Yuan tomorrow, but in the evening, she heard that the "young prince" was going to the capital.

She can't go to the capital again, right?

So, no matter what, we have to meet tonight.

In front of General Wang, Jin Yuzhen has always been strong and used to doing whatever she wants.

However, when she went to meet Yang Yuan tonight, it was obviously to discuss a very important business for the Jin and Wang families, and it had nothing to do with personal affairs. Yet, she felt inexplicably guilty.

Because he felt guilty, he took the initiative to report it.

Wang Shuai frowned: "At this time?"

Sure enough, no matter what, he is my man. It is intolerable for my woman to meet another man late at night.

Jin Yuzhen quickly explained: "It's like this, he just came back and has too many things to do, so I haven't found a chance to visit him.

Now there is news that he is going to Beijing soon, I am afraid if I don’t pay him a visit, I will never have the chance again…”

"I know!"

Wang Shuai nodded and said, "Although our business is led by Master Yang, our rival is the Wanyan Mansion.

If you go like this, what will the Wanyan family think if they see you? Will they think that we are hiding some secret deal from them?

We should have gone later.”

"what?"

Jin Yuzhen's eyes widened suddenly. She wanted to confirm whether her husband was teasing or mocking her.

But after looking carefully, I couldn't see it.

Mrs. Jin hesitated and said, "If...if it's later, will there be gossip?"

"That makes sense..."

Wang Shuai frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said happily: "I have a solution! You don't have to go, I will go and invite Master Yang over.

Then, you guys talk about things, and I'll keep watch for you outside the yard, so it'll be safe."

"Are you serious?" Jin Yuzhen looked at her man in surprise.

"Yes!"

Wang Shuai nodded and asked happily, "Is there any problem with this?"

A surge of anger slowly rose from Jin Yuzhen's lower abdomen and burned all the way to the top of her head.

Asiba!
Get Pabuaniya!

How did this bastard come up with such a good idea?
