Chapter 876: During the Assassination
(Apology. In Chapter 869, the "Wind Spirit Clan" that appeared was a typo. There are five clans of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the spirit world of the five elements. It has been corrected.)
Zhang Quan heard this, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very simple. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'true knowledge comes from practice', and Confucianism even has a saying that 'the unity of knowledge and action'.
The minister's suggestion is: give the two Highnesses a fair chance to compete!
Divide an area for the prince and princess, an area close to the battlefield, and watch the results after a period of time. "
This method... Does it sound reliable? But in fact, in politics, this is called "He Xi Ni" and "Drag Zi Jue". Extend the temporarily intense conflict backwards to give the parties and relevant people a time to respond and deal with it. By the way, give those who are truly capable a chance to kill their opponents!
However, it must be said that this is the best solution now, and it is simply impossible to solve such a matter in a short period of time through the court.
As far as the crown prince is concerned, if he insists on using tough measures and wants to solve it in a short time, the most likely thing is - a coup d'état! Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince went back to clean up, so he led his troops to kill them. As for who to kill, it depends on the interest of His Highness the Crown Prince.
In any case, Zhang Quan's suggestion made the nervous court begin to relax, everyone began to calm down, and began to calculate separately.
The princelings have won the support of many conservative forces, former interest groups, and a large number of Confucianists.
As for the princess, she has won the support of emerging interests and a large number of vested interests.
In contrast, the princelings are deeply entrenched and will be difficult to shake for a while; but this faction has solidified somewhat. And we know that once one thing loses its aggressiveness, many problems will arise.
Although the foundation of the princess's power is not as solid as that of the prince's side, the emerging power is majestic, with many followers, new interests, and a new direction, which unites most people of insight!
This is also the advantage of the princess, and this advantage can continue to develop. This is also something that the prince cannot possess.
In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, anyone with a discerning eye will know that the longer the delay, the greater the advantage the princess will have. It's just that this time the incident broke out suddenly, which made the princess unprepared and gave the prince the opportunity and ability to fight back.
I believe that as long as a period of time passes, the princess's side will gradually increase its strength and accelerate its development; but because the prince's side has the opportunity to respond after all, it also makes things a lot more complicated. Moreover, who said that the prince's side cannot develop industry and commerce!
Next, Ning will be wonderful.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Quan and Ning Xiaolan returned home. Ning Xiaolan suddenly turned her head and smiled brightly, "Husband, thank you so much."
Zhang Quan smiled happily, "It's as long as you are happy. Let's go, princess, it's time to rest."
"Okay." Ning Xiaolan still smiled sweetly, as if she had no other thoughts at all.
In fact, influenced by Confucianism and culture, although Ning Xiaolan has ambitions, she is not a flirtatious person after all. And as a mature politician, political matters and life matters are separate.
In the past, the reason why Ning Xiaolan wanted to get rid of Zhang Quan was more out of political considerations - if Ning Xiaolan really became the empress, Zhang Quan would definitely be authoritarian and presumptuous! In order to prevent these things, Zhang Quan can only be a 'saint'. This is the inevitable and unavoidable cruelty in political struggle.
But right now, Zhang Quan has gained a living space for himself through his political skills! It can be predicted that from now on, Zhang Quan has become a strong backer that Ning Xiaolan must rely on - otherwise Zhang Quan will definitely rely on the prince.
We can imagine that if Zhang Quan joins the crown prince, the crown prince will definitely welcome him with both hands. Ning Xiaolan's industrial and commercial advantages will be halved in an instant, while the crown prince's advantage will be doubled! Comparing the two, Ning Xiaolan will definitely lose!
Therefore, at this time, the relationship between Ning Xiaolan and Zhang Quan has reversed.
In the past, Zhang Quan needed to ponder Ning Xiaolan's thoughts; now, Ning Xiaolan needs to ponder Zhang Quan's thoughts.
But Zhang Quan's scheme didn't end there. If there was only one thing like this, it would certainly make Ning Xiaolan unable to leave Zhang Quan, but it would not make Ning Guo unable to do without Zhang Quan—the prince or even the emperor would not be able to do without Zhang Quan. Will allow Zhang Quan to manipulate politics like this!
It can be said that although Zhang Quan successfully calculated Ning Xiaolan before, he also exposed his ability and influence to the emperor and the prince. This is another danger!
But Zhang Quan has a way! The best way is...to find an opponent for Ningguo!
In fact, this is the same routine as Zhang Quan calculating Ning Xiaolan. Previously, Zhang Quan plotted against Ning Xiaolan in order to find a political opponent for Ning Xiaolan - the prince.
Now, Zhang Quan needs to find an opponent for Ning Guo, needless to say, this is Liang Guo! But the current technological development of Liang State can't keep up with Ning State, and it is gradually not qualified to be Ning State's opponent.
If you are not qualified, I will let you qualify!
In the morning, Zhang Quan hugged Ning Xiaolan who was still sleeping soundly, but his eyes were already open, with a smile and the indifference typical of a politician—for his own purpose, Zhang Quan never considered the interests of the country at all. Nonsense, I am in danger, and of course the national interest is on the sidelines!
Then Zhang Quan looked down at Ning Xiaolan who was sleeping soundly; yesterday's incident seemed simple, but it also made Ning Xiaolan almost exhausted. The sudden political crisis almost pushed Ning Xiaolan to a desperate situation. Don't be tough, maybe Ning Xiaolan has become a lost princess today.
Gently stroked Ning Xiaolan's white and tender cheeks, but Zhang Quan was thinking about what to do during the day. First, in the name of 'technology theft', some 'nails' that needed to be cleaned up were pulled out, and then they were cut off and thrown into the sea.
Then, you need to think about rocket technology! The Shang Dynasty began to develop rocket technology after supersonic aircraft, and after the development of rocket technology, the Shang Dynasty experienced explosive growth in flight technology. It has gathered countless masters!
Zhang Quan was full of confidence at this time: I already have a supersonic aircraft, so the next step should be very simple!
Also, from today onwards, it is estimated that the court will start discussing the division of Ning Xiaolan and the crown prince's 'administrative experimental area', and this matter needs to be carefully planned.
…………
In Liang Guo's palace, Xiang Bowen is leading people to clean up the ruins left by the two aerial bombs. Although it was only two small bombs, the damage they caused was not small—no matter how small they were, they were aerial bombs used by airplanes. At least they were all about 150mm shells and more than ten kilograms of explosives!
There are two places in the palace that were bombed - one is the residence of the guards, and the other is the gate of the treasury in the palace.
The bombing of these two places is very representative. This is undoubtedly saying: Your country of Liang is already in danger, and you can't even keep your treasure house! It is conceivable that the Emperor Liang was of course furious.
Therefore, the ruins were not allowed to be cleaned up at first, but were ordered to be cleaned up after all the officials of the Liang Kingdom waited to see them.
Xiang Bowen led people to clean up the place where the guards lived-the treasury cannot be approached casually. People with a little bit of political vigilance will not approach the treasury casually, and of course Xiang Bowen will not approach the treasury.
Well, it's all little things. The real thing was that when the bomb was being disposed of, a soldier suddenly found a very conspicuous palm-sized bag hung on a broken bomb tail with a striking yellow ribbon! And this kit is obviously a product of the royal family of Ning Kingdom!
Most importantly, this kit was woven with spiritual materials and was not destroyed in the explosion.
Xiang Bowen saw the kit, then looked at the ruins in front of him, and suddenly smiled. "Zhang Quan, Zhang Quan, have you finally asked me for help? Then, let's see if the gift you gave me is enough to pay for it!"
Xiang Bowen did not open it privately, but found the Emperor Liang, and opened the kit in front of the emperor. But I saw three sheets of paper inside, some crumpled but still very clear paper.
When I opened the blog post, I saw on the first page: Fluid Mechanics, one of the foundations of industry. Including air, water flow, aircraft, ships, etc...
The following is a brief introduction, Baishizi clearly introduces the importance and application scope of fluid mechanics.
The second page has a more detailed introduction. There are no formulas, numbers, etc., just to introduce how to use fluid mechanics. That's a guide, but a guide is enough.
The third page is a picture, a picture of a ship's propeller, with simple annotations and introductions.
There are few things, but it is like a key, which opened the door of science for Liang Guo at once! In the past, Liang Guo had already groped for this door, but there was no key to open it, and now the key came.
After Emperor Liang and Xiang Bowen looked at each other, they both smiled at the same time. Then Emperor Liang slowly said: "It seems that political struggles have already begun in Ning.
This is very good, let's not make any noise about this matter, let the other party continue to fight among themselves, let's seize the time to develop our science industry. "
…………
At noon on this day, several countries in the central part of Yingzhou began to communicate with each other using the Lingtong Baojian that they had researched and refined using traditional methods to imitate the methods of the Shang Dynasty.
The exchange of information is simple: sunrise.
This is the code word, which actually means: the plan needs to be carried out.
what's the plan? Of course it was a plan to assassinate Li Xian!
After a long discussion, the countries in the middle of Yingzhou finally reached an agreement to assassinate Li Xian together. And the person in charge of this matter is Wei Guo's Zhongshuling Wang Yue-Wang Yue was the first to "leak the word" about this matter, so of course Wang Yue was responsible. Of course, Wei Guo also gained a lot of benefits during this negotiation process.
Speaking of discussing the plan secretly this time, it really took a lot of trouble. First of all, everyone should avoid the well-established intelligence network of the Shang Dynasty, and secondly, coordinate the relationship between various countries; when necessary, Wang Yue will also come to the door to do ideological work in person - externally speaking, it is a negotiation.
And because of the secrecy, in many cases, it is necessary to send someone to go for a sentence or two. Sometimes a person travels around for days just to "exchange eyes" in the past. It's difficult, and it's not humane!
This plan is so hidden that in order to achieve absolute secrecy, it sometimes even needs to be covered by war. For example, after a war, there must be negotiations. This is a matter of course. In this kind of negotiation, a small negotiation with three or five people will be started separately.
After countless discussions and adjustments, the countries in the middle of Yingzhou were involved. Even the newly-emerged Guo country in the west of the Lingxiao Mountains got involved.
As Wei Guozhong's official Wang Yue said, no country likes to have a powerful enemy on its head. The power of the Shang Dynasty made all countries fearful and even more jealous!
This is a typical "wind destroys the beautiful forest", and the Shang Dynasty is that beautiful forest tree, which is full of rich fruits!
Now after a long period of negotiations, countries have finally begun to send out 'killers'.
They either pretended to be caravans, or pretended to be no-fixed masters, or scholars, or refugees, etc., and they were secretive along the way, and they were not in a hurry.
First of all, a group of people will arrive in the Shang Dynasty as soon as possible, find out all kinds of things in the Shang Dynasty, and settle down.
Afterwards, various killers arrived in the Shang Dynasty in different ways and at different times, and gradually hid themselves.
In the end, Wang Yuehui planned secretly and arranged for everyone to carry out an unprecedented assassination! In order to assassinate Li Xian, it is by no means a simple assassination, which requires a series of complicated arrangements.
According to the discussions and plans, this assassination operation will be completed in the next year or so, so there is no rush at all. Everything is based on safety; if the situation changes, it is better to procrastinate and procrastinate than to make a rash move.
This was an absolute and unprecedented assassination. The countries in the central part of Yingzhou dispatched at least a thousand masters of the transformation stage, more than fifty masters of the void stage, and even Guizhenqi and Sanxian! Each country dispatched at least one Sanxian and two Guizhen stage masters.
During the tribulation period and the Mahayana period, there is no action for the time being. Needless to say, those in the catastrophe period may cross the catastrophe at any time, and it is difficult to cover up the breath on the body. The Mahayana stage is a treasure, very rare. Some people estimate that there should be no masters of the Mahayana stage in Yingzhou!
Due to the lack of resources, most of the masters in the Tribulation Stage were unable to succeed, and in the end they could only transfer to Sanxian.
In short, in order to assassinate Li Xian, the countries in the central part of Yingzhou also became cruel and sent out almost half of the peak power in the country. Even so, everyone is not ready for a "strong attack", but is ready to lurk secretly and wait for the opportunity to act.
Poisonous snakes are not scary, but those that are hidden and cannot be seen are scary!
It should be said that even if Li Xian and the entire upper echelon of the Shang Dynasty thought of assassination and so on, they would never have imagined that someone would play assassination in such a way that almost gathered a small half of the peak power belonging to the country in the middle of Yingzhou. And with so many masters gathered here, they are not going to assassinate directly, but are going to lurk down and wait for the opportunity to act!
At this time, the Shang Dynasty knew nothing about it, and Li Xian and the think tanks of the Shang Dynasty could only defend against the conventional method of preventing assassination. For example, beside Li Xian, there are third-order loose immortals He Baijiang, Xiao Xuan, and shadows.
Although the shadow is a bodyguard given to Li Xian by Li Yulong, Li Xian absolutely believes that there is always a shadow around him.
But today, after a long period of preparation, the technology of the Shang Dynasty has started a new page-preparing to launch satellites specially used to find and identify affiliated worlds.
After the high-end technicians of the Shang Dynasty eased their emotions these days, they became more involved in research. The Da Luo Jinxian who appeared in the Ascension Passage put great pressure on the Shang Dynasty. The pressure was so heavy that Yun Feihong, who was already a little proud, had to bow his head—this world is too dangerous!
The rocket launch is still launched in Beidou Valley. It's not far from Qingyun Valley, so it's easy to control; it's also away from Qingyun Valley, so if danger happens, everything in Qingyun Valley won't be destroyed.
For this rocket launch, what the Shang Dynasty said to the outside world was still an ordinary exploration of the world outside the sky-this is not bad, but this launch was more for the military service of the Shang Dynasty.
The rocket still successfully crossed the sky, but released a full 60 satellites, each of which was small, only one foot in size. The function is also relatively simple, mainly to strengthen the technology of searching the affiliated world.
It's just that after the first picture was taken, Li Xian and the others gasped. This was the first targeted picture of the affiliated world.
When the pictures taken by various technologies were restored and synthesized, a picture of the world that no one had ever seen before appeared in front of everyone.
Surrounding the main world of the fairy domain, there are actually subsidiary worlds that circle around like a planetary ring.
Because there was no special attention before, and the technology was not good enough, everyone thought that although there were many affiliated small worlds, they should be limited. But never thought that there are so many affiliated worlds!
