Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters seeing is not believing
It is of great importance and no one speaks, for fear that it will cause unintentional disaster if you accidentally cause it.
The Holy Lord was very upset and asked, "Is there any conclusive evidence?"
Even if Yu Shiji said this sentence on such an occasion, even if there is no conclusive evidence, there will be some clues. Otherwise, he would never dare to talk nonsense and make trouble.
Yu Shiji looked at Yuwen Shu again. Yuwen Shu looked cold and said nothing.
"Some people say that the white-haired thief is a knife." Yu Shiji looked at the Holy Lord and repeated in a more emphasis tone, "Secret Soldier, Knife."
The Holy Lord was a little surprised. Yu Shiji's repetition contained puns, which obviously had a unique intention. Knife? Secret soldiers, Knife? Suddenly, the Holy Lord found a dusty past from his memory. Yulin "storm", the first fierce confrontation between the reformists and the conservatives. Gao Bing, He Ruobi and other large number of founding ministers fell under the butcher's knife. The reason for the "storm" was that the secret army under Pei Shiju's control discovered that the Yuwen brothers were engaged in foreign trafficking heavy troops. Among them, one of them was a secret soldier named Knife.
The Holy Lord's expression gradually became solemn and he fell into deep thought.
No matter where the rumors come from or what the purpose of spreading rumors is, there is a fact that cannot be changed, that is, the secret sword does exist, and the reason why I remember the sword is because he is the son of Duke Li Delin of Anping, the younger brother of Li Baiyao, the famous Shandong scholar Li Delin, and Li Delin is Gao Yang's friend, Li Baiyao is the aide of the former crown prince Yang Yong, and Gao Yang is the father-in-law of the former crown prince Yang Yong. Therefore, the Li Baiyao brothers are both Gao Yang's family, they are both the ****** of the past, and they are all enemies.
From this, Yu Shiji's judgment was correct, and he was not optimistic about the pursuit. He was determined to capture Anzhou by the knife, and he must be ambitious and separatist. In order to maximize his interests, he would inevitably form an alliance with the Turks, and then use the power of the Turks to compete with Zhongtu and do his best to blackmail Zhongtu. In this way, he would step on two boats and make profits on both sides. Once he grew stronger, he would definitely not lose his tail and would cause Zhongtu.
There were six kings and ministers, only the Holy Lord, Yuwen Shu and Yu Shiji, who knew the Secret Sword. They were all the core figures of the Yulin Storm back then, and Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai and Lai Huer were not at the center at that time. Not to mention the Secret Sword, even the core secrets of the Yulin Storm were unknown, so they were very curious, but because they knew nothing, they did not dare to inquire rashly, so they could only watch from the wall and wait for the change.
After a long time, the Holy Lord looked up at Yu Shiji, then looked at Yu Wen Shu with a blank expression, and asked, "Who is the person who is there?"
Where did the rumor come from? Who spread the rumor? You said that some people say that the white-haired thief is a knife, so who is this person?
"It is natural that they are Turkic people. If nothing unexpected happens, they are Asunasmo and Shishu Husi." Yu Shiji said angrily, "Sunshu Husi is the most suspicious. His plan of disagreement is superb. If the matter of that year is carefully investigated, it will be his conspiracy."
The Holy Lord's eyes were gloomy, and Yuwen Shu showed his murderous intent.
That incident was the conspiracy of the Turks, and the initiator was Shi Shu Hu Shi. Although the two sides of the struggle in Zhongtu took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to fight, the ultimate loss was Zhongtu. The killing of each other led to heavy losses. The Gaoyang line was almost completely destroyed, and the Saint Lord line also lost its troops and generals. Pei Shiju's secret army was not one of the ten secret troops, and its ability to infiltrate externally was greatly weakened. The Turks picked up a big advantage and woke up laughing when they were asleep. Several years have passed since the Yulin storm, but even now, the king and ministers are still resentful, hating them so much that they hate them, and wishing they could swallow Shi Shu Hu Shi.
If this rumor comes from the Turks, it must be a divisive plan, a conspiracy of Shi Shuhu Huxi. Shi Shuhuhuxi wanted to solve the crisis in the Northeast, but the distant water could not relieve the thirst in the near future, and there was no good idea in the urgency. But he was one of the masterminds behind the Yulin Storm. He knew that the secret sword was Pei Shiju, and Pei Shiju had too many political enemies. Therefore, as long as this secret was exposed, it would inevitably provoke a struggle between the top leaders of the Middle Earth. This would kill two birds with one stone, and kill more than one stone. Even if Pei Shiju could not be defeated, it would at least delay or hinder the deterioration of the situation in Anzhou and even the Northeast, and give the Desert Tooth Treasure to cope with this crisis.
The purpose of the Turks' divisive plan was clear, and this was an open conspiracy, but the key question was whether the Middle-Earthians would take the opportunity to launch political struggles, and whether they would actively jump into this trap.
The Yulin storm was the same in that year. The Yuwen brothers sold heavy troops to the Turks and were familiar with foreign countries, which was a death sentence. However, their father Yuwen Shu was the absolute confidant of the Holy Lord, and their younger brother was also the son-in-law of the Holy Lord. Yuwen and himself also had a close personal relationship with the Holy Lord. The two families had a very good relationship. Therefore, even if the Yuwen brothers really committed such a crime and were caught by the political enemy, the Holy Lord and Yuwen Shu would cover up the matter with political compromise, so as to avoid losing all face and damage to authority. As a result, they did the opposite. They knew it was a trap, but they jumped in, and would rather be "injured" than kill the political enemy. Long pain is worse than short pain, and solve the problem once and for all.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, with the popular power of Yuwen family, Yu culture and his own status, it is necessary to be in touch with foreign countries. What benefits can foreign countries bring to them? Even if you have to be in touch with foreign countries, you will not sell heavy troops, right? It has no profit and great risks. The thankless Yuwen brothers will do this? So this matter cannot stand scrutiny, and the possibility of political frame-up is still very high.
Of course, the Yuwen brothers do not do it, which does not mean that the Yuwen brothers do not do it. If the political enemy is powerful and the matter is exaggerated, it is necessary to kill Yuwen to death to slap the Holy Lord in the face and hurt the authority of the Holy Lord. Then, the Holy Lord and Yuwen family will inevitably have to pay a price for the struggle. Judging from the results of the Yulin storm, the Yuwen brothers "exposed the name for the people" and eliminated the political career. The Holy Lord and Yuwen Shu were also beaten to a "blue-faced face" and their prestige was damaged. It can be seen that the price of defeating their opponents is still quite high.
Now the Turks use the same trick again and use this move again. However, the Holy Lord and the Reformers are in a political crisis, and the conflicts with the conservatives are intensified. The domestic and international situation is also very bad. In this unfavorable situation, if the Middle-earth people jump into the trap with their eyes open, kill each other and destroy the Great Wall, it would be unwise.
The Holy Lord thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever investigated and verified?"
Yu Shiji looked at Yu Wen Shu again, his eyes showing a warning look.
This rumor spreads very quickly. It spread in just a few days. The spearhead was directly aimed at Pei Shiju. Pei Shiju has rushed to Western Xinjiang to deal with the crisis. Among them, the alliance negotiations with the Western Turks are crucial. Only success is allowed but not failure. Therefore, this rumor must be suppressed immediately and its harm must be kept to a minimum range. Otherwise, once it evolves into a battle between conservatives and reformists, the struggle between the Guanlong people and the Shandong people will inevitably further intensify the political crisis between the two Beijings and worsen the turbulent situation of internal and external troubles.
But it is impossible to investigate and verify the authenticity of the rumors in such a short time. First of all, the Secret Army is not only controlled by Pei Shiju, but also a high-level secret. Without the Holy Lord's edict and without Pei Shiju's cooperation, the core secrets of the Secret Army were not accessible; secondly, this year is a turbulent autumn. The Yang Xuangan mutiny has pushed down a large number of noble bureaucrats. Now the palace and the two capitals are still arresting and interrogating people. Some of the chief criminals are escorting Gaoyang Palace, and the political storm is still raging. If you investigate Pei Shiju with great fanfare at this moment, it will definitely expand the storm further, causing panic and everyone to be in danger. The harm is too great. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, this rumor needs to be suppressed. Even if it is to be investigated, it must wait until the liquidation storm caused by mutiny is over and wait until Pei Shiju returns westward. The best way to suppress it is to deny the rumors, use factual evidence to defy the rumors, prove Pei Shiju's innocence, and completely eliminate some people with ulterior motives using this rumor to take advantage of the rumor and take advantage of the injustice, and resolutely prevent conspirators from pushing the raging political storm into the abyss of out-of-control.
What evidence can prove Pei Shiju's innocence? Rumors say that the white-haired thief is a secret weapon. As far as Yu Shiji knows, the sword fled to the desert after the Yulin storm and was chased by the Turks thousands of miles away. So now, as long as there is evidence to prove that the sword has long been dead, Yuwen Shu has this evidence, because not only the Turks wanted to kill the sword, but the Yuwen father and son also wanted to eat his flesh. There are rumors that the Turks handed over their heads to Yuwen after killing the sword. If it was true, Yuwen Shu should be able to prove that the sword was dead.
When the Holy Lord saw Yu Shiji "staring" with Yu Wen Shu, he also turned his eyes to look over. Although he didn't know what the knife was going to happen back then, since the Yuwen brothers were "fried down" and were hit and humiliated before, they would inevitably retaliate. The possibility of the knife survival was slim. Besides, with Pei Shiju's style of conduct, even if he was willing to protect the knife, he would be powerless at that time. After all, the political struggle was alive and the Holy Lord and Yuwen were furious. Pei Shiju, who was in danger, dared not hit the knife in the corner and compensated himself.
Yuwen Shu had to speak, but what he said was terrifying. "The reason why the alienation plan turned into an open plot is because the facts are all there. Whether the plan is the problem is whether you believe in the facts in front of you or not." Seeing the truth may not be right. What you see is always appearance, and the truth hidden under the appearance may never be revealed to the world. This is false existence. Political struggles do not require the truth, and false existence can kill people.
The Holy Lord and Yu Shiji were hesitant, while Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai and Lai Huer were secretly nervous.
"This plan of disagreement must have come from Shi Shu Hu Shi, and he dared to take it out is enough to show that he has conclusive evidence that the white-haired thief is a knife." Yuwen Shu looked like frost, and his tone was cold and solemn. He looked at Yu Shiji with a bad look. He was obviously dissatisfied with his "shirkness". "The Turks did kill the knife and also sent the chopped head to the Great Wall. But the question is, who knows the knife? Who knows the true face of the knife? The knife is an elite secret army, known as an immortal ghost, and has the ability of gods and ghosts. Such a strange man, when he is planning to kill people, how can he not leave a way out? If he is impulsive, sacrifices his life to death, and cuts off his retreat, can he still be called an immortal ghost?"
The Holy Lord frowned slightly. Yu Shiji understood it and asked, "Are you sure the knife is not dead?"
"Although someone heard the news of the knife's death, someone believed that the white-haired thief was the knife."
As soon as Yuwen Shu said this, let alone Yu Shiji, Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai and Lai Huer's vest were cold, and even the Holy Lord's scalp was numb and it felt very difficult.
If the white-haired thief is a knife, then according to the rebellion trajectory of the white-haired thief, the matter will be complicated. Taking the white-haired thief as the main line, Li Zixiong, Yang Xuangan, Qi Wang, Pei Shiju and Shandong wealthy families as the branch line, we must make people think about the true intentions of Li Zixiong, Yang Xuangan, Qi Wang, Pei Shiju and Shandong wealthy families with the greatest malicious intentions.
Yu Shiji hesitated for a moment and asked again, "If the white-haired thief is a knife, can it be proved that the knife or the secret soldier?"
Before Yu Shiji finished speaking, the Holy Lord, Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai, Lai Huer and other monarchs and ministers stared at Yu Wen Shu's face. Yu Shiji spoke implicitly, but in fact he had a clear meaning. If the sword was still a secret soldier, a member of the secret army, or a subordinate of Pei Shiji, then the problem would be serious, and Pei Shiji would be in trouble of extermination of the clan.
Yuwen Shu sneered, wishing he could slap Yu Shiji to the ground. It was so poisonous. In this way, Pei Shiju and I turned against each other and suffered a loss. You fisherman will benefit, right?
"I am not the commander of the Secret Army, and I don't know any secrets of the Secret Army." Yuwen Shu smiled coldly, "Since the incident in Yulin that year, I learned that there was a secret sword."
Yuwen Shu pushed it away, and the Holy Lord, Yu Shiji and others couldn't help looking at each other and were helpless.
Only Pei Shiju knows the secret secrets of the secret army, and Pei Shiju is thousands of miles away and can't even ask. Besides, even if Pei Shiju didn't travel west and was in the palace, he denied it. So what can he do? So it's meaningless to investigate whether the knife is dead, whether he is a secret soldier, whether he follows Pei Shiju's orders. For the monarch and minister, the most urgent task is to find a way to refute the rumors, rather than to investigate the truth.
