Chapter 23: Plans to change, prepare to welcome relatives
Jiang Ziyan is a person of six days.
But he does not belong to any of the six heavenly palaces, he is a disciple of the former ghost master!
When Jiang Ziyan was eight years old, his former ghost master discovered this uncarved uncrawled jade in a remote countryside in Xiangzhou. He would draw it out for two to three months every year to go to Xiangzhou to teach him in all aspects.
However, Jiang Ziyan's identity has always been top secret. Except for the Great God, the other Gods did not know about it.
Until many years ago, the former ghost master accepted the plan to steal the sky proposed by the current ghost master. After clever arrangements, Princess Shi'an's son-in-law Wang Yan met Jiang Ziyan while on a trip, and naturally brought him to Jinling.
This is the simplest and most important beginning. Only in this way can Jiang Ziyan appear in the noble circle of Jinling without arousing suspicion in all aspects.
As for why Wang Yan was chosen as the leader, it was because of the unknown private affair between Princess Shi'an and the prince!
Sure enough, when Princess Shi'an saw Jiang Ziyan, she was not only jealous of Wang Yan's infatuation with him, but also in order to deal with the increasingly favored Yu Daozhen, she colluded with Wei Tianzhi, the concubine's son in the East Palace and presented him to the prince.
At this point, the plan is close to perfection.
From Xiangzhou to Jinling, from Jinling to Eastern Palace,
Jiang Ziyan only took a year to go for a road that others can’t finish in their lifetime!
The prince was very obsessed with Jiang Ziyan. As long as he spoke, the prince did not refuse, but he just played the role of a male pet in conscientious manner. He never interfered in the court, nor did he say anything that was not in line with his identity. Even Yu Daozhen, who was six days old, never doubted his origin.
The ex-ghost master was assassinated and died suddenly, which made Jiang Ziyan feel in pain. Fortunately, he had already identified his successor before his death. The current ghost master was also the planner and executor of the plan for stealing the sky. He took over all Jiang Ziyan's action arrangements. The two contacted each other on one line and continued to maintain Jiang Ziyan's secret identity without being exposed.
The plan is progressing as usual.
The two sons fought for the throne and poisoned Jiangxia King An Xiuruo for six days. The culprit An Xiuming was given the title of the head. Linchuan King An Xiulin was able to take over Jinling. It was natural that Xu Shunhua heard Jiang Ziyan's reputation and took him into the palace, and then received An Xiulin's unparalleled favor.
However, no one knew that An Xiulin could not have children. At first, although he was slightly ill and weak in qi and sperm, he was not incurable. He was well treated and would not have had any son or half a daughter after three or five years.
After the launch of the plan for stealing the sky, An Xiulin secretly applied undetectable medicine to Liutian in his daily diet, thus completely cutting off the possibility of childbirth.
The plan of the ghost master has always been perfect!
Jiang Ziyan wandered in the world like a fish in water, hiding under the Nine Netherworlds, moving above the Nine Heavens, becoming the most important chess piece for the ghost master.
According to the plan, he should continue his previous strategy in the Eastern Palace, be low-key, cautious, and not ostentatious until the moment he came to steal the day and change the sun.
But the sudden destruction of Fengdu Mountain was separated from everyone's foresight. The ghost master had to save Shaodian. Without Shaodian, it would not exist for six days. So he took the risk to activate Jiang Ziyan and asked him to take action in the palace and remove Shaodian and Lan Liuxiang from Tingwei Prison.
The ghost master also knew that Jiang Ziyan would face great risks when he did this, so he took advantage of the situation and changed his plan.
If you can't lie dormant, it will become eye-catching!
The amulet of the weak is forbearance, and the amulet of the strong is strength!
Therefore, through Pei Zhi's suggestion, the conflict at the banquet last night was caused. On the surface, it was to cause internal struggles between the old party, aristocratic family and the Xu party, and to unite the old party and aristocratic family to force Xu You to recover. In fact, it was to arrange for Jiang Ziyan to lead the army to fight and pave the way for military merits.
If Xu You were the general, how could Jiang Ziyan get the opportunity to lead the army? Even if he went through a lot of hardships and got this opportunity, how could he achieve military achievements that shocked the court and the public under Xu You's nose?
Only by introducing Di Xia, who is acceptable to all parties, to become a general, let the brave and lack of intelligence lead the emperor's confidant beloved general lead the army to attack Shu, and suffer an unprecedented defeat. Only Jiang Ziyan's unit led by him achieved certain results, his victory would be infinitely magnified. With the emperor's preference, he could occupy a place in the army after returning to Beijing.
When An Xiulin passed away, Xu Shunhua's son succeeded to the throne. Xu Shunhua was in the palace and ruled behind the curtain, while Jiang Ziyan held heavy troops outside the palace.
This world is the world of six heavens!
Of course, such a huge and meticulous plan to steal the sky will not miss Xu Shunhua's first child, which may not be a loophole for his son. His former ghost master visited all over the world who are good at gynecology. Finally, he used the secret recipe prepared by Yue Xiugu, a famous goddess doctor in Guangzhou. If it still fails, there is no hurry. An Xiulin is in full bloom. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be no problem to live for another ten or twenty years. Xu Shunhua will always give birth to a son.
Once his son is born and made the prince, An Xiulin will die at the most appropriate time. Jiang Ziyan will express his order to the new emperor since childhood, allowing him to accept the six-day teachings and concepts, thereby completely suppressing the revival of the Tianshi Taoist Tao and Buddhism. The prosperous era of the Six-Day Restoration will shine again after hundreds of years of demise.
Fortunately, according to Xu Shunhua's pulse, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Department always thought that she was pregnant with Long Zi!
In other words, the plan to steal the sky will be successful without ten or twenty years. Within three or five years, An Xiulin will die suddenly after illness, and then the prince ascends the throne and gradually controls the government affairs in six days.
Before this, Jiang Ziyan needed to control the military power.
Xu You rose up because of the culprit of the attack on Yao Liang, and grew stronger because of the Western Expedition to Yao Liang. The military power in troubled times was only to fight on the battlefield. Otherwise, if you were the general, you would not be able to sit steadily.
After Jiang Ziyan led the order to leave the West Palace, An Xiulin corrected several memorials, and felt even more and more confused. He threw away his pen and said, "Li Tongnu!"
Li Dunnu trotted into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
"Where is Xu You now?"
Li Dunnu was very thoughtful and guessed An Xiulin's intention and said, "I heard that the county marquis stayed in Changgan's house all day and didn't go out easily..."
"Okay, please make arrangements and don't disturb too many people. I'm going to Changganli!"
"Now?"
"What? You can't do it?"
Li Dunnu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has to do what he ordered even if he tries his life. But it's so late. If you want to open the palace ban when you leave the city, you must sign and use seals for General Left Guard. Just now I saw that General Left Guard seemed to have done it. I looked for him to use seals and go back to this time..."
An Xiulin frowned, and Li Dunnu stopped talking. The highest level of eye drops is to moisten things silently.
"Take it!"
An Xiulin picked up his pen and wrote a handwriting. Li Dunnu took it with both hands above his forehead and respectfully took it over, bent down and left the west hall. He always did things neatly and quickly arranged to stop. He went into the hall to serve An Xiulin and changed into a regular uniform and boarded the four-wheeled ox cart that Xu You paid tribute. Next to the car were fifty sword scatters who had changed into crimson military uniforms. The old man driving was a third-grade young master raised by the inner palace.
This is just the power of guards on the surface. The ox cart drove out of the palace gate and headed south along the Suzaku Avenue. Important positions on both sides of the road have been occupied by guards that were in place in advance. There are dedicated people guarding the high places such as roof towers, river waterways, and blind spots that are rarely visited.
The prevention is so tight that even birds cannot enter!
He rushed all the way to Xu's house. Xu You knew that An Xiulin had left the palace in a very short dress and was not suitable for making a big fuss. He did not set up a table to welcome him. He sent Zhan Wenjun and others to personally lead An Xiulin to Yashe in the backyard to meet him.
Li Dunnu waved his hand, and the Imperial Swallow took over the defense in the backyard, and patrolled in three or five teams, like an iron bucket guarding here.
The stove was burned in the house, warm as spring. An Xiulin untied the thick cloak, rubbed his hands, breathed a breath, and said, "It's so cold. There are many people in your house. Is the firewood for winter enough? If not enough, I'll ask the Firewood Office to allocate three thousand kilograms to you first..."
Xu You is now rich in the world, so why is there a shortage of firewood in the mansion? This is the emperor's intention to express his care and said, "I still save some now. I will find Your Majesty to fight Qiu Feng again."
An Xiulin smiled and said, "You should fight the autumn wind as early as possible. There are also a large group of people in the palace. If I don't have enough, I will fight your autumn wind."
"Then your Majesty, you have to show your mercy and leave some winter for me..."
The two laughed at the same time, and talked about homely words around the stove. An Xiulin looked at the flames blankly and suddenly said, "Weizhi, I believe you know the result of the court's proposal. I don't agree with Di Yong as the general. I can trust him to be a guardian and defend the capital. But if he wants to lead his army to conquer, he will win the battle and win the attack, but it may not be that material."
"There has never been a general who has won every battle. Giving him a chance may surprise His Majesty."
"There are no generals who have won all the victories, but there are also generals who have won always win. I still want you to be the general. But this court is decided by the court of An and the various families, Yu and Liu. If even the two Shangshu Pushe agree, I cannot object."
An Xiulin's voice was exhausted and said, "I know, many people think you will be Cao Cao, but I believe in my own eyes. You are not Cao Cao, nor Wang Mang. I will not let you down, you will not let me down."
Xu You's eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to bend over to thank him, An Xiulin grabbed his arm and said, "Don't let these red tapes. I'll come to you tonight, just to tell you the intimate words. I'm not the emperor, you're not a minister, we are not only relatives, but also friends. Weizhi, I will only ask you, what do you think of the general's belonging,?"
Xu You said with a sincere voice: "I absolutely support the result of the court's discussion and have no prejudice against Di Xia. Since I resigned from the general, I would not be interested in power again. My brother-in-law, from the start of Qiantang's uprising to the westward expedition to Beijing, I have been fighting continuously for two or three years. I have seen too many dead people and am really tired. When the Sansi returned from the investigation of Cangyuan, I returned to my innocence. I want to be honest and ask Your Majesty to take the marriage, officially marry the girl of Zhang, and then return to Yixing, repair the ancestral temple, and revitalize the family..."
An Xiulin was happy, not sure whether it was because Xu You got married or because Xu You didn't care about the general's belonging, so he said excitedly: "Okay, I will definitely have a grand ceremony at that time. I will use my carriage to pick up the bride at Zhangji's mansion. Your parents are not here, and your sister and I are from the husband's family. Not only do we take the marriage for you, but we also drink the tea you and the girl Zhang, hahaha..."
