Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the first alliance negotiation between Wu Sansi and Er Zhang, the price they asked for was too high, and the two parties broke up. Soon, Wu Sansi heard that a poisoning case had occurred in the palace, and the imperial doctor Yao Xi was affected, so he immediately  Guess it was Er Zhang who was attacking Li Zhen.

    This made Wu Sansi a little disappointed. If Er Zhang killed Li Zhen through the poisoning case, then they would not come to ask him for help again. He secretly regretted it. If he had known that he would not be so greedy, he should have agreed to Er Zhang.

    In the study, Cao Wen was comforting Wu Sansi, "Father-in-law, don't worry. My son-in-law has received the exact information. Yao Xi was rescued by Shangguan Wan'er, and the poisoning case is over."

    This news surprised Wu Sansi. Although he also hated Li Zhen, when he heard that Li Zhen had reversed the situation, he actually had the urge to cheer, "Haha! I think both faces were swollen this time."  ¡±

    Cao Wen said with a smile: "This is because they underestimated the enemy. In fact, no one knows Li Zhen better than me. I have watched him grow up. He is very good at coming back from adversity. In the martial arts examination that year, he was selected by several famous families in Dunhuang.  He was bullied, but he actually found Wang Xiaojie's way, reversed the situation in one fell swoop, and successfully won the spot. At that time, I knew that he was not a simple person, but Er Zhang thought too simply, thinking that he could be brought down by a frame-up.  Li Zhen, I can only say that their strategy is still a bit weak.¡±

    Cao Wen pointed to his head, "This is not enough!"

    Wu Sansi sighed, "It's a pity that Li Zhen refused to help me, otherwise I would have ascended to the big position today."

    Speaking of this, Wu Sansi's expression became ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If he refuses to help me, then he is my biggest enemy. I must get rid of him, otherwise I will die in his hands sooner or later."

    Cao Wen's expression was a little unnatural, not because Li Zhen was his brother-in-law. Although he also knew that his ex-wife Li Quan's business was getting bigger and bigger, and she had become the leading female rich man in the Tang Dynasty, but he did not regret marrying him.  Li Quan is divorced, but he came to Wu Sansi today because he wanted to talk to him about his marriage.

    After Di Renjie passed away, there was a vacancy in the position. Countless people were eyeing this position, and Cao Wen was no exception. Moreover, he had real talent and learning. Even Di Renjie once praised him for his talent as a prime minister. So he had Wu Sansi as his backing  , why does this phase not belong to you?

    It is said that Gao Xi, Zhang Shuo, Song Jing, Huan Fan and others are also eyeing this position. If there are too many monks, it depends on who has stronger off-court ability. Cao Wen hopes that Wu Sansi can use this as a condition to trade with Er Zhang.  However, Wu Sansi seemed unable to remember this matter.

    Just when Cao Wen was about to speak, his third son Wu Chonglie reported outside the door: "Father, Brother Yanxiu is here and said there is something urgent to report."

    "Let him in!"

    A moment later, Wu Yanxiu hurried in and said urgently: "Second uncle, there is urgent news."

    "What's the matter?" Wu Sansi asked a little unhappy.

    "I got news today that Wu Youning will be named King of Yan."

    Wu Sansi was stunned. He had never heard of such a thing. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Impossible! How could he be named a prince if he is not a direct relative? Your news must be wrong."

    Cao Wen next to him asked: "Yanxiu, where did you get this news?"

    "When I was playing polo today, I heard from Li Longji that he got the news from his aunt Princess Taiping yesterday."

    Wu Sansi also felt a little uneasy and asked anxiously: "Xian son-in-law, you don't think this is true, do you?"

    Cao Wen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then thought to Wu San: "Wu Youning is still in Chang'an, and it will take time for him to come from Chang'an, so it is reasonable to block the news during this period, but there will definitely be some clues leaked out, and Princess Taiping may  You will know, although this matter cannot be said to be ridiculous, but I can't be confused, I still go to inquire about it. "

    Wu Sansi heard that Cao Wen did not agree with him, and he began to panic. He knew better than anyone that his only asset was that he was the only remaining legitimate prince of the Wu family.  If the Wu family inherits the country, then he must have Wu Sansi, but if there is another prince who is young and powerful, has a better reputation and is more capable than him, then his position will be really shaken.

    "My dear son-in-law, this matter is of great importance. We must not take it lightly!"

    At this time, his son Wu Chonglie ran to the door again and reported: "Father, Wu Yizong is here!"

    Cao Wen reacted immediately, "It must be the Zhang brothers who asked him to come over. My father-in-law might as well meet him."

    Wu Sansi was extremely disgusted with this Wu Yizong who betrayed him. He did not want to see this person at first, but when Cao Wen said this, he changed his mind and said to Wu Chonglie outside the house: "Take him to the distinguished guest hall and wait for a while, I will be here soon.  "

    ??Wu Yizong is extremely popular among the Wu clan.??, no one dislikes him, Wu Yanxiu stood up and said: "Second uncle, I will go back first."

    "Okay! Thank you for sending the news."

    Wu Sansi winked at Cao Wen again and asked him to accompany him. Cao Wen nodded and followed Wu Sansi to the guest room.

    Wu Yizong was sitting in the hall drinking tea when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Wu Sansi approaching. He quickly stood up and saluted, "My nephew, meet my second uncle!"

    "Um!"

    Wu Sansi reluctantly agreed and said to him, "Sit down!"

    The two sat down separately. Cao Wen sat on the other side of Wu Sansi. Wu Yizong smiled and said: "Let me tell my second uncle the good news first. There is going to be a prince among our Wu clan. General Zhang told me that the Holy Spirit has already  It has been decided to make Wu Youning King of Yan, so that our Wu family¡¯s ability to compete with the Li family will be strengthened. "

    Wu Yizong went straight to the point and blocked Wu Sansi's room for bargaining. Wu Sansi felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted.

    Wu Yizong was favored by Er Zhang because of his special qualities. He was cunning and cunning, and he was good at observing people's emotions. He deliberately brought up the matter of Wu Youning being crowned prince to test Wu Sansi. Sure enough, when he saw Wu Sansi's face changed drastically,  , with a look of fear in his eyes, he knew that Wu Sansi was afraid of this, so the matter would be easier to handle.

    He deliberately sighed and said: "General Zhang wanted to cooperate with his second uncle in the past, but due to various reasons, the cooperation failed. However, General Zhang still hopes that our two families can continue to cooperate. This time, I have been specially ordered to express their opinions to my second uncle."  sincerity.¡±

    "Sincerity?"

    Wu Sansi sneered, "I don't see where the sincerity is?"

    "Of course the sincerity will be fulfilled. Second uncle, don't worry. They are trustworthy people. As long as the two families join forces to bring down Li Zhen, they promise to promote Master Chonglie to General Qianniuwei."

    Wu Sansi was immediately furious. He actually only agreed to let his son be promoted to General Qianniuwei, but the condition was to overthrow Li Zhen. It was worse than sending him a beggar. When he was about to refuse, Cao Wen next to him said: "If Wu Youning becomes the prince,  I¡¯m afraid things won¡¯t be easy for the two General Zhangs either!¡±

    The implication is to remind Wu Sansi that the other party is using Wu Youning's matter to pressure others. It is better to work together to solve Wu Youning's matter, and then discuss the conditions for dealing with Li Zhen. Wu Sansi suddenly woke up. He sneered and said: "If Wu Youning ascends the throne, he will  The first person killed was not me, Wu Sansi. Please tell the two generals Zhang that we will discuss Li Zhen¡¯s matter later and resolve the imminent crisis first. If they agree, then we can join hands. If they refuse, it will be very difficult.  Sorry, there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡±

    Wu Yizong's face turned red and white. He did not expect that Wu Sansi would bite back and turn their advantage into a disadvantage in an instant. In fact, everyone knew that Wu Youning had a very tense relationship with Er Zhang when he was the prime minister. In the end, Wu Youning was transferred  The fact that Xijing, who succeeded Li Zhen, stayed behind was also related to the breakdown of their relationship.

    Wu Sansi is right. If Wu Youning comes to power, the first people who will be unlucky will be the Zhang brothers. He will definitely kill the Zhang brothers to win people's hearts.

    Wu Yizong couldn't go back and explain like this, so he had to lower his attitude and said: "When Wu Youning comes to power, life will be difficult for everyone. How about we all be realistic and deal with Li Zhen first, and then join hands to deal with Wu Youning. General Zhang will definitely let his second uncle  My wish came true and I successfully entered the East Palace. What do you think, second uncle?"

    "Yes! I can agree, but I need to see their sincerity first."

    "Isn't it enough to promote Chonglie to General Qianniuwei?"

    "No!" Wu Sansi flatly refused.

    Wu Yizong's face became a little unnatural. He had promised Er Zhang that he would give in obediently without giving Wu Sansi any good conditions, or even without giving Wu Sansi any conditions.

    Because Wu Sansi longed to become a prince, as long as he grasped this, Wu Sansi would eventually succumb, so it was Wu Yizong's plan to promote Wu Chonglie to a general.

    Unexpectedly, Wu Sansi flatly refused. Wu Yizong felt very embarrassed. How could he go back and explain to Er Zhang?

    But having reached this point, Wu Yizong had no choice but to ask, "I wonder what kind of sincerity the second uncle wants?"

    At this time, Cao Wen coughed lightly at the side, and Wu Sansi remembered Cao Wen's request. He nodded and said: "My request is very simple. Let my son-in-law become the prime minister first. If you can't even do this little thing,  , then I really don¡¯t think highly of the abilities of the two generals Zhang.¡±

    Wu Yizong was stunned for a long time. This was the plan proposed by Zhang Changzong, but he rejected it. Now he would really be slapped in the face when he went back. Wu Yizong had no choice but to stand up and leave. When he left, Cao Wen stood up and thanked:  "Thank you, father-in-law, for thinking of my son-in-law."

    "Hey! If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten this."

      But Wu Sansi was still worried and said: "I'm still worried now. We spent too long on negotiations. Once Wu Youning returns to Beijing and is named King of Yan, it will be too late."

    Cao Wen thought for a moment and said: "The Wu Youning incident is just a bargaining method between father-in-law and Er Zhang. Our real goal is to deal with Li Zhen. I suggest that father-in-law take action first."

    Wu Sansi somewhat understood what his son-in-law meant, "What do you mean-"

    Cao Wen nodded slowly, "Wu Youning should be on his way back to Beijing. This is our only chance."
