Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"What's the current situation of the Supreme Being? Is he alive or dead?"

Arriving outside Ganlu Temple in Liaoyang, Gao Yan couldn't help but ask questions as soon as he saw Hu Luguang. Because he was too nervous, even his tone of voice was slightly trembling.

After hearing this, Hu Luguang quickly lowered his head and said: "After the last general entered here, he sealed off the surrounding area to prevent internal and external connections. Before he had time to enter the temple to pay homage to the Supreme Being, the specific situation in the temple is still unknown. However, all the generals and soldiers of King Ping Qin stayed on guard as usual. , No abnormality has been seen, and there must have been no tragic or shocking changes.”

After Gao Yan heard this, he looked in the direction of Ganlu Temple, and then sighed softly: "Even if it hasn't changed yet, the situation must have been critical. Otherwise, with his supreme temperament, how could he endure such an encounter?" ?”

Speaking of this, his mood was quite complicated, feeling both happy and disappointed, mixed with a bit of pity and sadness.

For him, the best thing that could happen would be that the emperor could not survive the illness and died during the journey. In this way, he would not have to bear those charges, and a series of subsequent events would happen naturally.

But now the emperor is still alive, even if he is too sick to see things, as long as he still has a breath, for many people, there are still opportunities and there are still variables to fight for.

For example, Gao Guiyan, a general of the Imperial Guard who followed the Holy Emperor, and some of the side generals who held heavy troops, such as Fang Bo. Some of them may be loyal to the emperor, and after hearing about the change, they will raise troops to protect the king's old home. Some may also have ulterior motives and will take advantage of the turmoil in the country to achieve certain intentions of their own.

These personnel situations are all unstable factors. As long as the emperor does not die, Gao Yan will not be able to spare the time and energy, nor will he have the qualifications and power to deal with them.

"What is the situation of all parties? Are there any troops coming to Liaoyang?"

After a short pause, Gao Yan asked again. At the moment, he can only barely control the tens of thousands of troops and imperial personnel inside and outside Yedu, but in a wider space, all personnel and personnel will naturally follow the holy orders. Although the emperor's presence in Liaoyang provided him with great convenience in controlling Yedu, it also added many variables and dangers to the subsequent plans.

After hearing this, Hu Luguang nodded and said in a deep voice: "The eight thousand elite soldiers of the King of Nan'an have marched eastward from Jiexiu and passed through the Bafu Mountains. At the end of the day, the general sent his soldiers to Pingdu City to inform Liaoyang of the lack of supplies. , please Nan'an Wang Yin's troops to temporarily station in Pingdu City, waiting for the Jinyang Division Brigade to escort the materials and then march here together. "

"How could the King of Nan'an lead his troops back east? The Queshu Valley was no longer defended? Wouldn't the Wei people take advantage of the situation and advance in?"

After Gao Yan heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he asked quickly.

The reason why he dared to launch a rebellion this time was because the two countries were still at war, and a large number of troops needed to be retained on the border to confront the enemy. Naturally, the forces that the country could dispatch were relatively insufficient. .

Nan'an King Gao Sihao was the younger brother of Shangluo King Gao Sizong. He was brave and good at fighting. After the execution of Qinghe King Gao Yue, he was one of the few people in the clan who could lead an army and take on important roles in border defense.

When the Wei army invaded, Gao Sihao was sent to be the governor of Shuozhou and then transferred back to Jinyang, where he was then assigned to guard Queshu Valley. Queshu Valley is currently a focus of the war and confrontation between the two countries because of its extremely critical geographical location. In addition, the defection of Baishui Prince Mo Chenxiang not long ago occurred, and the Wei general here was fighting to defend Yubi City. Wei Xiaokuan of fame. There is something wrong with deploying troops in this direction.

"Could it be that the Supreme Being has already known about the changes that happened in Yedu, so he would rather give up guarding against thieves in the border areas and mobilize an army to quell the riots in the country?"

Gao Yan couldn't help but analyze in a low voice with anxiety, completely forgetting his previous judgment that the emperor might be in critical condition and unable to take matters seriously.

Although things have been going smoothly so far, the psychological shadow brought by the emperor on him is too great. Under the huge pressure, Gao Yan can't help but feel a little trance, unconsciously falling into a trap of self-doubt and self-proof. .

After hearing this, Hu Luguang shook his head and said: "It must be a coincidence. Perhaps the disease in the body of Supreme Anjue is getting more serious, and it may be difficult to maintain it for a long time. He must return to Jinyang or Yedu, and specially summon people from all over the world to come in. Here we come. The former fought with the Qiang thieves and the division suffered a disastrous defeat. It would be difficult for the generals in the army to gain the trust of the Supreme Being. Only the relatives of the Wang Zong family of Nan'an could rely on them and they had not exposed themselves in battle with the enemy, so they were summoned by the superior. Jinyang's armor strength is still sufficient, and dispatching is not as stretched as elsewhere..."

His analysis was quite reasonable and made Gao Yan's anxious mood calm again.

However, Hu Luguang did not take into account that in order to allow them to cause trouble within the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty deliberately shrunk and evacuated some of its troops in the border areas.

Therefore, in the area bordering the two countries, military operations have almost come to a standstill. This means that if the generals with large armies want to, they can lead their troops back home at any time to participate in this civil strife!

After a preliminary understanding of the situation inside and outside the room, Gao Yan immediately ordered again because he was worried that things might change later: "Immediately inform King Ping Qin in the temple, hoping that he will put his family and country first and come to me as soon as possible to speak frankly with me. Let’s talk about it and work together to deal with this incident, so that evil people inside and outside can’t take advantage of it!”

Not only Gao Yan was anxious, but Gao Guiyan in Ganlu Temple was also anxious. Such a big thing happened outside. Whether he was worried about the emperor or himself, he had been restless these days.

Whether the emperor's condition was good or bad, it never stabilized. Even when his spirit was still good, he also had doubts about the situation outside the temple. After all, such a big thing happened, even if everyone didn't say anything, their faces and emotions would inevitably be revealed.

The emperor is a shrewd and sensitive person, so he cannot be completely unaware of it. What's more, there are so many people in the temple, and not everyone who comes into contact with the emperor will obey Gao Guiyan's gag order. Presumably, some of them will secretly reveal some information to the emperor.

However, the emperor never asked Gao Guiyan about this matter, which made Gao Guiyan secretly grateful but also tense his heartstrings.

The emperor's attitude may mean that he has completely given up and is deliberately avoiding things that make him restless. Either he is accumulating energy, thinking about countermeasures, and preparing to make a dying blow. After all, as the emperor said before, although tigers and leopards are old, they can still bite people. If anyone takes it lightly because of this, he is not far from being unlucky.

After receiving the news of the meeting and discussion from King Changshan's messenger, Gao Guiyan immediately agreed without much thought. It was only when deciding where and how to meet that they had some disagreements.

It is naturally impossible for King Changshan to come to Ganlu Temple for a meeting, and Gao Guiyan, as the most important Suwei general in Ganlu Temple today, will naturally not take risks.

Both parties lacked the most basic trust in each other. After many exchanges and discussions, they decided to drill a hole in the west wall of Ganlu Temple, and each party would bring their trusted friends there to communicate through the hole in the wall.

Although this method is not foolproof, when both parties intend to start negotiations as soon as possible and are only willing to make limited concessions, this is one of the few compromises that can be reached.

"Unexpectedly, when I meet the king in this situation, my family and country will undergo drastic changes, which is disappointing. Now I only hope that both of us are of the same mind and can take the overall situation into consideration to prevent the chaos from spreading."

The two sides were several feet apart. Gao Yan looked at Gao Guiyan who was surrounded by soldiers in the hole in the wall and sighed.

After Gao Guiyan heard this, he frowned and said: "If your Majesty really holds this intention, why would you create this incident? Your Majesty may be harsh in governing affairs and not generous in his treatment of others, but he has always treated your Majesty with sincerity and kindness. It is said that the king is a rare dignified and dignified person in the clan and cannot be treated rudely. Now the king is recklessly subverting the situation in Jinei and even leading troops to attack here. Is this a way for the king to repay the favor he has received from you? "

When Gao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of shame on his face, and immediately said: "The king has been staying here to guard here recently, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital. I am not the one who caused the riots in the capital this time." . Yang Zunyan betrayed his divine grace and forced the soldiers to rebel, while I was ordered to be sent by the prince to calm down the chaos and harmonize the people.

However, Yang Min caused serious harm to the world. Although he was punished by everyone, the harm he caused to the world has not been repaired. This group of disciples, the Prince and I, are here to pay homage to the Supreme Being and to advise on reform, hoping that the country can abandon disputes and fight against foreign enemies together! "

Gao Guiyan naturally did not believe this nonsense. After Gao finished his speech, he spoke again: "As the king said, since the king is trapped and unable to defend his innocence, he might as well send His Royal Highness to the temple first. Please The prince explains to the king in front of the Supreme Being. When the misunderstanding is eliminated, wouldn’t it be wonderful if there is no gap between the king and his ministers, and the brothers and sisters are respectful to each other?”

"The king is an elder of the clan. He has profound qualifications in establishing the dynasty and is also known as capable in his work. No matter what the situation is, he is a valuable asset that can benefit the family and the country. Why bother to cling to short-term plans and mislead others and yourself!"

Hearing that Gao Guiyan was still a little stubborn, Gao Yan said in a deep voice. In addition to admonishment, his words also contained some warnings.

When Gao Guiyan heard this, he stared and replied: "Since the days of Heaven's protection, the Supreme Lord has given me such kindness, far beyond ordinary people! What I am today is all given by the Supreme Being. Your Majesty wants to force me with just a few words." Is it okay to abandon this old master who has been bound by kindness and righteousness? Now that I have said this, your Majesty, please step back and reflect on yourself. Are you really committed to the security of your family and country? How can you rally the masses if you just say it casually? , order the disciples to obey!”

After saying this, Gao Guiyan raised his fists to Gao Yanlue, and then led his soldiers back to the temple, and the gap in the wall here was blocked with a fence from the inside.
