Chapter 2015 Guizijuan Dialogue with Uncle and Nephew, Sacrifice to Feed a Tiger

  In order to avoid suspicion, Feng Ziying had to leave Chongxuan Temple first, and came back to Chongxuan Temple later.

  Guo Qinyun was also very careful, and didn't come until after Youshi.

  However, her reason this time is very sufficient, that is, she also wants to stay in Chongxuan Temple for two days to cultivate her body and mind.

   Zhou Peisheng, uncle and nephew Zhou Dehai accompanied him on this trip.

  After Dai Quan and Dai Zong's uncles and nephews began to fully take over Mei Yuexi's handling of the coordination affairs inside and outside the palace, Zhou Peisheng and Zhou Dehai's uncles and nephews also felt tremendous pressure.

   In this position, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, or even if you don’t advance, you will perish.

The battle for the throne has always been bloody, and there is no sense of friendship. Once Prince Gong is completely eliminated from the competition, it means that Zhou's uncle and nephew will also fall from the throne in the palace, get out, and even seek refuge people are hard to find.

Guo Qinyun's stubbornness, even paranoia, and the kind of desperate courage brought by him made even Zhou Peisheng feel terrified. He wanted to pull Feng Ziying into the water, even at the expense of "feeding the tiger with his body", seducing Feng Ziying with his looks. This is a bold move. It was hard for Zhou Peisheng to imagine.

  However, this point made Zhou Dehai feel that it was a stroke of genius, and it might even reverse the current unfavorable situation of His Highness Prince Gong.

"Uncle, the emperor's current situation, do you think you can really wake up and regain control of the situation?" Zhou Dehai leaned on the carriage board, half-closed his eyes and said leisurely: "During this time, I went there almost every other day to see Look, the emperor's body is fine, but here..."

Zhou Dehai pointed to his head, then shook his head and said: "No, I think the emperor can basically eat it, and his complexion seems to be better than before, but basically there is no time when he is conscious, or even if the emperor is conscious. At that time, no one would believe it.”

Zhou Dehai's last sentence hit the nail on the head. Although the emperor was in a coma most of the time, he could sometimes wake up for a very short time, but no one could say clearly when he really recovered, so no one thought that The emperor recovered his mind.

   If everyone thinks you're insane, then you must be, and it doesn't matter whether you're actually insane or not.

   Zhou Peisheng showed a complex and unspeakable expression on his face, shook his head, but did not speak.

"Uncle, you have also seen the performance of those people in Longfu Temple today. Xu Junru is stern, and his confidence is obviously lacking now. It seems that the news from Captain Long is still somewhat reliable, and there is probably some evidence. Pointing to King Shou; Su Lingyao danced happily, but I heard that the two brothers, King Fu and King Li, were trying to tear each other down. do what?"

  Zhou Peisheng's eyes wandered, "So you think they are useless, this is Prince Gong's chance?"

"Whether they have a play depends on the follow-up development, but with Su Lingyao jumping in front, she attracted Mei Yuexi's attention, at least gave Prince Gong some hope, right? We can't just sit around like this Sit down, instead of doing this, why don't we have the cheek to pat Mei Yuexi's toes and beg her to take us in." Zhou Dehai's words are very vulgar, but very realistic.

"It's no use, if Dai Quan doesn't come back, maybe Meiyuexi can give us a chance. Dai Quan is back, just like the Supreme Emperor, and Dai Zong is also enlightened. Meiyuexi will not take us in again." Zhou Peisheng shook his head, "Meiyuexi It's not so stupid as to tear down the Great Wall, Dai Quan can give her everything we can bring, and even give more, so why should she cause trouble?"

   "So my nephew agrees with Concubine Quan's fight." Zhou Dehai said in a deep voice.

  Zhou Peisheng glanced at his ambitious nephew, and sighed, "Then do you know what Concubine Quan thinks? This is such a shocking act, even a disregard for human relations..."

  Zhou Dehai snorted, disapproving of his uncle's "pedantry", "Uncle, you will be swept out of the house, even with your head on the ground, who do you think cares about this? Is it you and me who care, or the imperial concubine?"

   "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, but if Prince Gong can really become a great treasure in the future, then..." Zhou Peisheng said hesitantly.

  Zhou Dehai felt that his uncle was really old, and he was not as old and strong as Dai Quan. The older he got, the more ruthless he became, and his uncle became more indecisive, caring about those false names and so-called morality.

"Uncle, if Prince Gong is not destined to be on the throne, then that's all. If he really can become a great treasure, there will be two results. Either the Feng family will be wiped out by him, or the Feng family will be so powerful that he can't control it, so he can only bear it. So what? The lineage of the throne finally fell to his branch, isn't that what the Concubine Quan wanted? As for the others, who cares?"

  Zhou Peisheng frowned, and took a deep look at his nephew, "Are you very optimistic about the Feng family?"

"Well, uncle, I'm afraid the outside world is not very clear. Chen Jixian suddenly led the Huaiyang army to go south to Yangzhou, leaving behind an empty Xuzhou, a complete Xuzhou, and Niu Jizong's army also went south to seize Xuzhou very tacitly. The Northwest Army was in Caozhou, The Dingtao and Chengwu areas fought fiercely with the Xuanfu army. Sun Shaozu led the army to withdraw from Jinan South to Yanzhou, and the other army withdrew from Dongchangfu to Dongping Prefecture and Zhangqiu Town. Now the Xuanfu Army and Datong Army are on the front line of Jining and Xuzhou Hold together,..."

  Zhou Peisheng was taken aback and couldn't help asking: "When did you receive the news? Why didn't I know?"

   "I received it when I was praying for blessings at Longfu Temple." Zhou Dehai lowered his voice: "It is estimated that many people in the imperial court still don't know about it."

  Zhou Peisheng stared at him, looking at himself as if he didn't know his nephew. After a long time, he said dryly: "Where did they send you the news? When did they contact you? What are their intentions?"

Zhou Dehai didn't care. His uncle would never betray him, "He came to him after the battle of Linqing. Prince Yizhong still has some contacts in the palace. As for the purpose, it is not to make Prince Gong Fighting for positions, causing some trouble for this side, even a little influence is good. I think they are at the end of their wits, so they will do this, but this is not a bad thing for us, but we did not expect Chen Jixian to be so decisive all of a sudden. Moreover, it is said that the complete Xuzhou was handed over to Niu Jizong, and Niu Jizong was equivalent to having a perfect handover with him, isn't it said that Chen Jixian is willing to serve the court?"

   Zhou Peisheng felt a shudder in his heart, Chen Jixian became so decisive?

  In his impression, Chen Jixian was not such a courageous person.

   And the Northwest Army, which is eyeing from the west, just sits and watches the Xuanfu Army easily withdraw southward to control Xuzhou?

   This is equivalent to saving the lives of Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu who are already in trouble.

   As long as Xuzhou is cut off, Xuanfu Army and Datong Army can only be surrounded in Shandong, waiting to die, and Feng Tang's Northwest Army has become so sparse?

   Zhou Peisheng didn't know the specific situation on the battlefield. There may be some objective reasons, but his long-term life in the palace made him subconsciously go in the direction of conspiracy theories.

  Could it be that Feng Tang sensed something, all the birds are hidden, and the rabbits are dead, so the preparations should be made first?

   Judging from the current battle situation, once Shandong is lost, the possibility of Prince Yizhong's comeback is very small, and the collapse is only a matter of time.

  Jiangnan alone cannot defend and compete with the imperial court, nor can Huguang, unless there is a major change in the north.

  Maybe Nanjing is just delaying time and waiting for such an opportunity, but is there such an opportunity?

  Shaanxi civil uprising and rebellion caused by plague?

  The Mongols in the north or the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong invaded?

   Or the White Lotus Rebellion?

  These are all known in the court and are being resolved step by step.

   Isn’t Feng Ziying going to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion caused by the civil unrest?

  Zhou Peisheng did not think that these factors could affect the results of the imperial court's expedition to the south of the Yangtze River.

   And under the general trend, according to the current progress, the Jiangnan issue will definitely be resolved before the end of this year. What's the big deal that the court can't persist for half a year?

"It's not like Chen Jixian is thinking about the court, but he wants to survive on his own. Will the Nanjing side allow him to take Yangzhou? Obviously impossible. With Yangzhou, his strength in Huaiyang Town can be greatly increased. But he gave up Xuzhou to Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu, and saved the lives of the Xuanfu army and the Datong army." Zhou Peisheng said slowly: "He is very powerful."

   "I still can't see it clearly. At this time, everyone should think of themselves. How can they control others?" Zhou Dehai didn't care much about the affairs in the south.

  In his opinion, the imperial court's recovery of Jiangnan is a foregone conclusion. Prince Yizhong asked someone to contact him for help, and he was happy to accept it.

  As for what can be delayed and how effective it is, in his opinion, it is a desperate attempt to go to the doctor.

  I am not a fool, I have to watch the situation and judge the situation, and only do it if I can do it. If the risk exceeds the benefit, then I will definitely not do it.

  The other party has no binding force on its own side, and the initiative is always on its own side.

  Zhou Peisheng put aside Feng Tang's idea of ​​raising Kou's self-respect, and now he can't care so much, that's all for the future.

  Warriors are domineering, so there will naturally be court officials to deal with them. When the emperor is in the middle, there will be more room for maneuver, which is not all a bad thing.

"I thought it would be enough for the imperial court to take down Shandong, but now it seems that if Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu withdraw to Nanzhili, this battle will probably be prolonged." Zhou Peisheng thought deeply, "Where is this guy Chen Jixian? What's the plan? Is there any tacit understanding with Feng Tang?"

"Hehe, uncle, don't underestimate these warriors. They are more sensitive to things that endanger their interests than anyone else. I have some doubts about what role this little Feng Xiuzhuan plays in it. He has both interests, so If Concubine Quan wants to risk her life, she may not have a chance." Zhou Dehai sneered.
