Chapter 405: Umbrella to the West


After Xiao Tieumbrella verified his identity, he returned to Yuan Benxi's residence.Yuan Benxi didn't enter the house, he was still sitting in the courtyard, and he was relieved to see that his face was gloomy, and he was relieved that he couldn't get the result he wanted.If the little junior brother has no accident, as far as Confucianism is concerned, he does not have to take responsibility, and he is worthy of the teacher's mantle.As far as the imperial court is concerned, there was no major mistake in the appointment, and the grain and grass fell into the hands of the rebels, which did not cause a fatal blow.This is the result that Yuan Benxi wants to see the most.He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his expression was still unmoving, he turned his head to look at Xiao Tieyu, and asked, "How" Xiao Tieumbrella didn't sit down, stood not far away, and said in a deep voice: "It's me who is suspicious." ”In the absence of evidence, it sounds too strange to suspect a woman of being a sword master based on vague intuition, and when the news spreads, it will be heard as a joke.Xiao Tieyu's judgment was wrong, his face was disgraced, and he didn't want to say anything more.He no longer doubted Haitang's identity, but he still couldn't understand why he could see some Gu Jiantang's shadow from her.Yuan Benxi snorted, didn't ask for details, and said lightly: "Since you have dispelled your doubts, let's go back to the original question, should I let her go."

What do you think" The muscles at the corners of Xiao Tieyu's mouth twitched, he thought for a moment, and replied: "Cai's passing the inspection does not mean that your junior brother is absolutely reliable.Now that the situation is grim and everyone is in danger, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not defect and seek glory by treason.This hostage cannot be let go. ”Yuan Benxi stared at the ground, pondering the meaning of his words, his eyes were sharp, and he couldn't see the slightest sickness."

Keeping her in our hands, we can be a lot more relieved.From the time she was summoned to the palace to the time she tried to leave twice, it is enough to show that the relationship between the husband and wife is very deep and inseparable.Cai Jiushi is jealous and will not ignore her life or death. ”Yuan Benxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to analyze: "However, the tricky thing about the matter is that she said that there was a rebellion in the front-line army, and it was urgent to wake up my junior brother and sister.If what she said is true, then in the chaos of the army, he is indeed inseparable from his great talent. ”Not long ago, Ren Zhen led the army to fight in the Lujiang River and defeated the white-robed army.Personally going out of the city to station and prevent the enemy from crossing the river is a good proof of Ren Zhen's courage and determination.From this point of view, Ren Zhen is worthy of the trust of the imperial court, and if the Tang army really mutinies, he should be able to stabilize the situation if he comes forward to make a decision."

From the perspective of the overall situation, it seems that there is no need to make a gap between the monarch and the minister for the sake of a mere woman.What's more, last time, he also investigated the Yunyancha case and resolved the crisis in the court, which can be regarded as a life-saving grace.If we are on guard everywhere, I'm afraid it will make him feel cold" With that, he looked up at Xiao Tieyu and observed the other party's reaction.At this point, his attitude is clear.Ren Zhen has lived up to expectations and proved his loyalty several times, and even saved the lives of the ministers in the capital.It is not wise to blindly be suspicious and constrained, and it is the best policy to use both grace and power.Therefore, he thinks that the begonias can be released.If Ren Zhen knew about today's situation, he should be quite touched.One of his biggest targets for revenge is Yuan Benxi, whom he regards as a mortal enemy.It was Yuan Benxi again, who put the overall situation first, and persuaded Xiao Tieumbrella to let go of his begonia.It's a pity that Yuan Benxi couldn't see through it, Ren Zhen was loyal to the Northern Tang Dynasty, not the empress Wu Qingyi.The centrifugation of monarchs and ministers has been doomed from the beginning.Xiao Tieyu frowned, was silent for a while, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but you should also know that Li Mubai of the Mo family appeared on the battlefield, and there is a blind man in the Eight Realms, who is suspected of being Yang Xuanji."

These two people will not enter the game for no reason, who dares to conclude that your junior brother is not in the same stream" This speculation, Yan Yuan had told him before, and he was also deeply puzzled by this.Without Xiao Tieyu's reminder, he could also see that Ren Zhen's social relationship was complicated, far beyond Confucianism itself.He stood up and said awe-inspiringly: "I have discussed this matter with Your Majesty.Since today's changes have occurred, we must be even more vigilant.Letting go of Cai's is just one of the moves, and we can add a second move. ”Xiao Tieyu's eyes were slightly condensed, waiting for the following.Yuan Benxi continued: "If there is a rebellion in the army, it is by no means child's play, and I dare not rest assured that it is only handled by Cai Jiushi.It's better to be like this, between you and me, there is one who leads his troops to sneak into the south, without showing a trace, and waiting for the changes. ”Xiao Tieyu suddenly realized, "If there is really a rebellion, it will be difficult for Cai Jiushi to quell it, so we will turn into a surprise soldier and stabilize the situation for him."

If there is no rebellion, or rather, it is he who harbors the rebellion, then take action to get rid of him" He finally understood Yuan Benxi's intentions.Whether to let go of Begonia is not the key in itself, the key lies in the rebellion that Ren Zhen said.As long as someone leads the troops and takes them by surprise, then all the problems will be solved."

That's right," Yuan Benxi nodded, "The battle situation on the southern front is scorching, and the Beihai side has not moved for a long time, Your Majesty and I both think that instead of letting that pro-army stay out of the matter, it is better to temporarily withdraw a part of it, pull it to the battlefield, and defeat the Southern Jin Dynasty." ”After Yan Yuan left that day, he went to the empress to discuss countermeasures, and came up with such a clever plan, which could secretly fix Ren Zhen in case Ren Zhen was against him.Unexpectedly, it happened to be done today.Xiao Tieyu was relieved, all his worries dissipated, and he said happily: "You are Your Majesty's resourcefulness, and all affairs of the DPRK and China cannot be separated from you."

Let me go if it's a tiring journey" Although the words are short, they contain a lot of deep meanings.Yuan Benxi was frail and sickly, his health was getting worse, and since the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, he has never left Chang'an.Let him lead the army to fight, not that he is incompetent, but that his body does not allow it.Moreover, the powerhouses of the Eight Realms of the Southern Jin Dynasty have appeared on the battlefield, and compared with Yuan Benxi, going by Xiao Tie Umbrella is of greater significance to the battle situation.As for the defense of the capital, now that Wen Shengyan Yuan is in charge, it should not be a big problem.Although the Confucian brothers are not harmonious, they have never been ambiguous in the face of the general trend of the world, and Yan Yuan will not make a mistake when the second junior brother is there.Yuan Benxi was very clear about his condition, so he did not pretend to excuse himself, and explained: "Although Beihai did not move, he did not dare to despise them.Of the 70,000 pro-troops, you can only take 30,000 with you, and if there is nothing wrong in the south and there is chaos in the north, you have to return in time. ”Xiao Tieyu nodded, knowing the stakes.Yuan Benxi stepped forward, and while walking outside the courtyard, he said, "Without further ado, let's go our separate ways."

I went to report to His Majesty and came forward to see off the Cai family.You immediately set off to Longxi and dispatched your pro-army southward "Longxi, west of Chang'an City, less than a thousand miles away.The mysterious pro-army turned out to be broken into pieces and lurked in Longxi.Xiao Tieumbrella went west to Chang'an, quietly, and the real target was not the Southern Jin Dynasty, but Ren Zhen, who was difficult to distinguish from loyalty and treachery
