Du Ruhui changed the topic and said, "I instigated Su Jiang to rebel last night. He said that Sima Chang Sheng has decided to assassinate the people in the city."
"Sima Chang Sheng's plan is to kill one person a day, twelve people in a row, and make the matter big. In the end, the matter will get out of hand and go to the imperial court to have His Majesty dismiss me."
"Sima Chang Sheng asked Su Jiang to participate, but Su Jiang hasn't replied yet."
"I asked Su Jiang to go see Sima Chang Sheng tomorrow. He agreed to finalize the time and place of the operation. We will set a trap to capture the assassin. With the assassin, it will be easy to capture Sima Chang Sheng. "
Du Ruhui gave a general idea.
Du Qi thought for a while, but suddenly laughed.
Du Ruhui said, "What are you laughing at?"
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Father, I laughed because this plan isn't very feasible."
Du Ruhui said, "What do you mean?"
Du Qi said, "The reason is simple. The assassins are ordinary people, so they are randomly selected. There is no specific target at all. How can such an assassination be decided on the time and place? Sima Chang Sheng is not an ordinary person. He is extremely cunning. If Su Jiang goes to test the time and place, it might make Sima Chang Sheng suspicious. "
Du Ruhui also frowned when he heard this.
He didn't consider this matter.
Compared to Fang Xuan Ling's strategy, Du Ruhui was indeed a bit inferior in this aspect.
Du Ruhui was an extremely decisive person. He found that the situation was not right and immediately said, "Erlang, how do we remedy this now? According to this, it is impossible to take down Sima Chang Sheng through assassination, right? "
"That's what I mean."
Du Qi nodded and replied.
After a pause, Du Qi said, "The remedy for this matter is actually very simple. Let Su Jiang agree to this matter. In addition, let Su Jiang find a reason to delay Sima Chang Sheng's operation. At the very least, the operation will be delayed until night. With such a delay, we can take down Sima Chang Sheng. "
Du Ruhui said, "Sima Chang Sheng is extremely cunning. He does things very carefully, without the slightest carelessness. I asked Su Jiang, and he said that it was impossible to find Sima Chang Sheng's weakness in a short time. It's even more impossible to take down Sima Chang Sheng in such a short time. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Father, why must we use conventional methods to deal with Sima Chang Sheng? This Sima Changsheng is clearly our enemy. He's from the Wang Clan, and there's something wrong with him. "
"Since that's the case, we'll have to resort to extreme measures."
"His Majesty asked Father to be the governor of the province because he wanted Father to do things boldly and decisively. Under this kind of premise, even if father eliminates dissidents and gets rid of Sima Chang Sheng, he only needs one reason. "
"So my suggestion is to send troops to surround the Sima Clan and kill Sima Chang Sheng. As long as Sima Chang Sheng is taken down, Daizhou's Wang Family will temporarily be without a leader, and we will have a chance to reorganize ourselves. "
Du Qi said, "This is my suggestion."
Du Ruhui said, "Erlang, aren't you worried about unrest? Previously, he had killed Zhou Yunhe because it had happened so suddenly that he had succeeded. After what happened to Zhou Yunhe, Sima Chang Sheng will definitely be on guard. There will definitely be conflict if we want to kill him. Therefore, if we kill Sima Chang Sheng and cause unrest, it might shake Daizhou. If this news reaches the court, the Crown Prince might also make trouble. "
Du Qi said, "Father, you're thinking too much."
Du Ruhui said, "I have to."
Du Qi said, "Even if the matter blows up and the Crown Prince makes trouble, so what? The situation in Daizhou was a mess to begin with. Father only needs to write a memorial and report the matter clearly. "
"If the Crown Prince jumps out and accuses father, he'll only be asking for a rebuke and will be beaten."
"His Majesty will punish the Crown Prince."
"Therefore, there's no need to worry."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Besides, even if there's unrest in Daizhou, it's a good thing! The more people jump out, the more it means that there's no problem with the rest. "
"This way, father won't have to screen them one by one. You only need to deal with them one by one, and the Wang Family will no longer have any power in Daizhou. As for the Wang Family's involvement, that's even better. We'll follow the vine to the melon and deal with them together. "
Du Qi's words were extremely forceful.
Du Ruhui smiled wryly. "Erlang, you're quite ambitious. Aren't you afraid of overreaching yourself? "
Du Qi said, "What's there to be afraid of? The worst-case scenario is now. Besides, father has the court and His Majesty behind him. With such a foundation, father is naturally in an undefeatable position. "
Du Ruhui's eyes were deep as he pondered in his heart.
Du Qi continued, "Father is the manager of Daizhou. You should know that in addition to Xu Youwen's standing army, there are also garrisoned troops stationed here. Under normal circumstances, father wouldn't be able to mobilize troops unless war broke out. After all, we don't have His Majesty's decree and tiger tally. But the problem is that I have His Majesty's token. "
"That's my trump card."
"Father, no matter what, Daizhou's situation is under control. You don't need to worry at all."
"Since we're strong enough, why drag things out? In the beginning, I was also worried about dealing with things too harshly and causing unrest. But there's no need to. We can just take down Sima Chang Sheng. "
Du Qi said, "Tomorrow morning, let Su Jiang stabilize Sima Chang Sheng first. Father, take Xu Youwen to mobilize troops and surround the Sima family. I'll go to the barracks to mobilize troops."
"With troops entering the city, we'll have full confidence in winning this battle."
"Of course, we need to do this at the same time."
"If I go directly to mobilize troops, it'll be easy for Sima Chang Sheng to escape. Father, surround the Sima family first and attract Sima Chang Sheng's attention. My troops can easily enter the city. "
Du Qi said, "Even if there are Sima family scouts at the city gate, Sima Chang Sheng won't be able to escape."
Du Ruhui wasn't an indecisive person. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Fine, then we'll go according to your plan. Tomorrow morning, I'll mobilize Xu Youwen's troops to surround the Sima family. However, we'll push all the evidence of Zhou Yun He's crimes onto Sima Chang Sheng and let him take the blame. "
Du Qi said, "Father, you're wise!"
Du Ruhui said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to Su Jiang's residence."
Du Qi said, "Father, just send someone to deliver the message. Why do you need to make a trip? Moreover, it's quite cold outside at night. "
Du Ruhui said, "This is a serious matter. I have to make a trip personally. Once I send someone to deliver the message and the matter isn't done properly, it'll be troublesome. At crucial times, details are the most important. "
"Fine, as you wish."
Du Qi shrugged. Since Du Ruhui was willing, he didn't care.
Du Ruhui didn't say anything else. He put on his cloak and hurried out of the residence. Du Qi had been busy the whole night. He returned to his courtyard, washed up, and sat down in front of the candlestick.
Du Qi was reviewing the plan.
He wanted to deduce tomorrow's plan again.
According to the plan, eliminating Sima Chang Sheng wasn't difficult. The problem was that this matter had to be done carefully. There couldn't be any mistakes. Once there was a mistake, it could lead to the failure of the entire plan.
Therefore, before Du Qi went to sleep, he had to deduce the entire plan clearly to avoid any mistakes.
After Du Qi went through the plan again, he thought of a few mistakes and patched them up one by one. Another hour had passed. He stretched lazily before lying down to rest.
