I'm not Murong Chong
Chapter 168
Yao Song was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and rushed forward to hold his arm, which was already stained with blood from the palm of his hand, his heart was shocked, his color changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing? ?" Looking up and seeing his expression, he suddenly realized in a flash of thought, and said in a voiceless voice: "You want to borrow a knife to kill someone?!"
Ren Zhen met his eyes, and the hostility in his eyes did not fade: "Tuoba Zun dared to take your life today, and it will be difficult to let go in the future. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take action to eliminate future troubles, otherwise I will not feel at ease!"
Yao Song had guessed that he was doing it for his own safety—if Ren Zhen was a step late, the consequences would be disastrous, and he couldn't always protect him, so he would rather take the risk.At this moment, when he saw that there were only two of them in the world, he quickly stopped him and said, "Tuoba Zun is Tuoba Yi's younger brother. Tuoba Yi has many worries and has not revealed his betrayal. Tuoba Gui will not scare the snake. If you act too hastily, in case something happens To arouse his suspicion—"
Ren Zhen suddenly grabbed his palm with his backhand, and said softly but resolutely, "Then force him to fight back. Zijun, I know what I'm doing."
Yao Song was stunned for a moment, and a complex emotion surged up in his heart—at this time, Ren Zhen was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if he had gone back to the glorious years when he killed Fang Qiu decisively, and he was still the Emperor of Xiyan. With one wave, you can guide millions of soldiers in the country.
However, he clearly knew that no one could go back to the past—his dedicated assistance and his imperial dominance had been so long ago that they were like unawakened dreams from previous lives.He felt sad for a while, and remembered that under the brilliant lights of Changle Weiyang, the monarch and his subjects were inseparable from each other, and when they raised their hands and looked back, they understood it, and there was no need to say a word—such a good time, but it was too short.
He took a deep breath, and nodded lightly as usual: "Okay. I'll listen to you—" What is Tuobayi, what is the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as I have you, I am not afraid of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will teach it to turn the world upside down!
In the gorgeous dome, Tuoba Yi, who was also in a rage, slapped the table and said angrily: "If you drink too much wine, you can't get bored with someone, but you want to find that woman. How can you spread the word?! Among the eight tribes of Xianbei, there is no question of being Mie, the eldest grandson is weak, Xi Jin belongs to the emperor, and the remaining uncles and grandsons, Hebu, and Yubu are not very successful. We and the Helan family hold military power. Although we belong to the same camp at present, we are supporting each other. There are different positions on the matter of establishing the crown prince. Now is the time when the relationship is delicate. Instead, you are going to make trouble—even if you want to make trouble, you shouldn’t be bumped into it. In the end, you broke your face with that man—you don’t know Who is the most important thing in the emperor's heart, is it time to confront him head-on?!"
There were thick bandages wrapped around Tuoba Zun's neck, and he raised his head to look at his brother with difficulty, with a dejected and unlucky expression on his face: "I, I want to kill people without revealing anything because I know that things must not be revealed. , who would have thought that Ren would bump into him, and suddenly jump out like a lunatic to fight me desperately?"
When Tuoba Yi heard the word "surnamed Ren", he couldn't help but sneered, and said, "He is more than just a lunatic! There are even more wicked people that you don't know about!" No one would believe it, let alone his own younger brother who was always rude.He is greedy for power and profit, and holds the military power of the Tuoba tribe, the leader of the eight tribes of Xianbei, but he doesn't want to confront his domineering and gloomy cousin with open swords and spears, otherwise he would not use the Liu family to plan for the future.He pondered over and over again, frowning deeply and said: "Who knows what kind of slander that person will say, maybe I need to make some preparations, and I will act first."
Tuoba Zun turned his head and immediately hissed in pain, remembering Ren Zhen's fierce expression like Yama's at that time—his moves were fierce and he didn't hold back, he really wanted his life!He couldn't help snorting coldly: "Since ancient times, we have been close friends, so the emperor wouldn't just say a word to him and kill you and my brother, right?" Tuoba Yi glared at him, thinking that you don't know who to say Who is close, the emperor may not take their cousins who came here halfway seriously, but after all, he is an official as a captain and in charge of the three armies, so he should have some scruples when he thinks about going to Tuoba Gui, so he sighed Said: "You give me some peace these days, and don't wander around even if the injury is not healed."
Tuo Ba Zun hurriedly agreed, but the soldiers outside the tent suddenly reported that the emperor's imperial decree had arrived.
Tuoba Yi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to come so soon, and comforted himself again, saying that the announcement may not necessarily be related to today's events, even if it is related, it is probably a warning.Standing up to adjust his clothes, he told Tuoba Zun: "Don't go out!" He strode out to greet him, and saw from a distance that the person who came to proclaim the decree was not Zhongchang Shi Zongqing, standing in the snow in a row of black clothes and black ink. The warriors in armor put on a bit of awe-inspiring spirit.The leader unfolded the yellow silk: "King Wei accepts the order."
Tuoba Yi knelt down on one knee, but his heart skipped a beat—how could it be Hou Guan!The most treacherous and evil institutions inside and outside the Great Wei court are all composed of descendants of criminal officials and criminals. They have no father, mother, family or faction. They are outside the establishment of the three armies, and only obey Tuoba Gui. Seeing traces, but when ordered to go out, blood must be seen.
"King Tuoba of Changshan committed a crime of disobedience after drinking, and offended the imperial concubine. He committed suicide by giving him poison and alcohol. King Wei also committed the crime of lax supervision. I want you to think about your mistakes and reflect on this."
Just such a few words, like a sharp knife on his body, Tuoba Yi was completely stunned - he was secretly wary of Ren Zhen's slander, but he never thought that Tuoba Gui would actually do it for nothing. The subjugated king of the country dares to kill Changshan King without saying a word, using such a pretentious thing as an excuse!He suddenly thought of something, jumped up and ran back. The moment he opened the curtain, he just saw the black-clothed warrior with his back facing him let go, the wine bottle in his hand was already empty, but Tuoba Zun had been forcibly poured down. The poisoned wine, limp on the ground, straightened his neck and twitched a few times, then blood gushed out from his lower nose and lips, and gradually lost his breath.
The man in black turned around, most of his face was covered tightly, the only exposed pair of cold eyes showed no trace of timidity when facing King Wei, as if he was just looking at a corpse.Tuoba Yi let out a low growl, and drew out his saber to slash with his hands, but was blocked by the man one by one, holding him firmly: "King Wei wants to resist the edict?"
His voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant, but Tuoba Yi felt a chill all over - Tuoba Gui was waiting to take his fault!The more it is at this time, the more he has to hold his breath, because now he has no chance of winning if he makes a move.Seeing the change in his expression, the man's eyes flashed, he quickly put the knife back into its sheath, stepped back a few steps, bowed slightly, turned and left without delay.
Tuoba Yi suppressed the strange sense of familiarity with this marquis official in her heart, and hurried to Tuoba Zun's side, already deadly.Tuoba Yi thumped the ground angrily: "Murong Chong! I will kill you evildoer to avenge this!"
The hunting in Yinshan in the winter of the second year of Tianxing was tainted with an ominous bloody aura due to the sudden turmoil. Everyone was trembling and did not dare to hunt recklessly.Even He Lanmi, who was the cause of this matter, was instinctively terrified—how could Tuobagui bestow the death of King Changshan for her, but didn't ask further questions afterward?Therefore, my heart was also up and down, secretly blaming Chao Ru for being too busy.Tuoba Si and the others felt that the rain was coming, and they were more cautious in their words and deeds, and they did not dare to make any mistakes in front of Tuobagui. Only Tuoba Shao didn't care, and still gathered people to ride and shoot, roaring in the mountains and forests.
Tuobagui didn't seem to know the weird atmosphere where everyone was in danger, and he still got angry at the medical officer in the tent: "Didn't you say it was a skin trauma? Why can't the bleeding be stopped now?!" To put it bluntly, he didn't understand why such a common arrow wound was still bleeding.Ren Zhen sat leaning back with a pale face, and there was a circle of red stains on the gauze on his arm. Tuobagui felt distressed, and didn't bother to listen to the military doctor's confusing explanation, so he ordered someone to drag him down for execution, and reapplied the medicine to bandage his mouth. Li said: "Why do you always get injured—no matter how bad it is, we'll get up immediately and rush back to Pingcheng overnight. There are still a hundred or eighty imperial doctors in the palace, so they won't all be so useless."
Chao Ru stood on the sidelines, thinking: This wounded person took advantage of people's unpreparedness and often dug up the flesh and blood of the wound and let it fester. Naturally, this wound will never heal. Tuobagui wouldn't be furious for a moment, and he would blatantly kill Tuoba Zun like this.
In any case, Ren Zhen is probably the person in the world who understands Tuoba Gui's temperament and weaknesses best.
Chao Ru curled his lips and sighed in a timely manner.Tuoba Gui heard clearly, but only glanced at him, then turned back to gently and skillfully cleaned up the wound: "You rest first, I will come to see you later." Standing up, Chao Ru nodded slightly, Chao Ru understood, and immediately followed suit followed out.
"Tell me, why are you sighing?" Tuobagui took the handkerchief from Zong Qinghe's waist and wiped his hands little by little in a place where there was no one, and asked lightly.
Chao Ru looked at his nose, nose and heart, but he didn't answer. Tuoba Gui raised his hand and ordered the servants to retreat, and he just said: "I think that the emperor's move...is a bit rash. King Wei, after all, the official is a lieutenant. With heavy troops in hand, you can mobilize the Gyeonggi Suwei troops—”
Tuobagui sneered and said: "Oh? He has the guts to hurt me, so I have to be afraid of his power and not be able to pursue punishment?" He threw the silk handkerchief in his hand to the ground, and said in a hateful voice, "It's hard for a mountain. Rong Erhu, even if it doesn't happen, I won't spare him for a long time!"
Yao Song naturally knew that Tuoba Gui had almost run out of patience with Tuoba Yi under his secret instigation in the state affairs and government affairs in the past few days, and he had long wanted to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot, but he deliberately shook his head and said: "Xianbei Babu, Wei The king will take the lead. If the troops come together without a name, the foundation of the country may be shaken."
Cui Hao often mentioned this before. Every time Tuobagui wanted to deal with King Wei, Cui Hao would always try to dissuade him by saying, "You can only move the whole body slowly if you pull one hair." When he said it, he instinctively knew that there was something hidden in his words, and there was more to come.So he turned his gaze away and said in a deep voice: "Chao Ru, you don't have to go around in such a big circle to say something. What you and I said today is only six ears. No matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence."
Yao Song had held his appetite for a long time, and just waiting for this sentence, he immediately took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Since your Majesty has made up his mind, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Regarding the matter of King Changshan, King Wei must have a grudge and plan—— As the saying goes, if you want to get what you give first, your majesty might as well push the boat with the current, hit him when he is down, and give him the last blow, forcing him to rebel. Then let him join forces and recruit troops. As long as he shows his rebellious behavior, your majesty will suppress it again and wipe out the grass. In addition, you can also eradicate all the people in the court who are attached to the king, and from now on, your majesty will govern without any restrictions."
Tuobagui raised his eyebrows - Cui Hao is good at planning, but now it seems that he is not as good as Chao Ru.He was just about to ask how to make the last blow, when he suddenly heard a commotion from far and near - it was the second prince Tuoba Shao who started hunting, and rushed over with a large group of people in a hurry, riding on the white snow, Clouds and foam splashed in all directions, and it was too late to avoid it by the time it was seen that it was Tuoba Gui.Tuoba Shao had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, got off the pony, and respectfully greeted his father.
Yao Song hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, while taking a sneak peek at him: Although this Tuoba Shao had a violent temper since he was a child, especially his father, he was indeed born with martial courage. Today, he wore a set of shining chain mail next to his body, but he still had the dashing aura of a young hero. It was not affected by the heavy atmosphere in the army at this time.Tuobagui glanced at the prey he was about to hang, and uncharacteristically did not yell, and even told him to be careful not to be greedy, and then let him go.
After waiting for the people to leave, Tuobagui looked at Yao Song, and asked straightforwardly: "I have two sons, who is more inferior to me?"
Yao Song thought for a while: "The First Highness is cautious, the Second Highness is heroic, and they all have the appearance of a young dragon. If there is a comparison, the Second Highness is more like Your Majesty."
"Then in your opinion, if you want to establish an heir, Shao'er should be the first?" Tuoba Gui sneered, how could he have forgotten that Chao Ru came from Zhao Guogong's mansion, and the Helan family's father and daughter were eager to be the crown prince, so naturally Tuobayi, who hoped to support Mrs. Liu and Tuobasi, fell apart.In fact, he didn't fully trust this person, now that he was suspicious, he deliberately tried to test him out, once Chao Ru really proposed to welcome Tuoba Shao, such a soft and treacherous person would really be hard to keep.
This time Yao Song said without any hesitation: "If there is a heir, there will be a heir, and if there is no heir, there will be an elder. This is what sages and sages have done since ancient times."
Tuobagui didn't expect him to say these words, he felt a chill in his heart, and said deliberately: "The two princes are only half a year apart, the princes of a country will carry on the past, and the most important thing is whether they are capable or not."
"After the Gold Casting Ceremony and Yinshan Hunting, His Majesty's virtuous ability has been revealed to the world." Of course Yao Song could guess Tuobagui's true thoughts, and immediately lifted his clothes and knelt down, "I know that I am talking about killing you." Words from the heart—this matter is beyond the reach of a minister, but since the minister serves the court and thinks of His Majesty wholeheartedly, these words from the heart must be spoken frankly!"
Tuobagui clapped his palms and sneered, "What a loyal minister, you originally came from the Helan family, but now you have turned your back on the old master and changed your family. How do you know that it's not for the sake of support?"
Yao Song had no choice but to bow down to his former colleagues and subordinates, but he replied calmly and neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty is the only master in Wei, and I never dare to change my mind, let alone change my family! "
Tuoba Gui stared at him closely, but he didn't see a trace of tension or flaws in his expression. After a moment of silence, he still shook his head: "Tuoba Si...the current situation...is not right."
He is still trying to get rid of Tuobayi on one side, but on the other side he cannot make Tuobayi the heir - his biological mother, Mrs. Liu, has been supported by Tuobayi all these years, and some Xianbei relatives headed by him The preferred candidate for the crown prince is the eldest prince.And once Tuo Basi is in the East Palace, Mrs. Liu's faction will definitely gain power, and they will reciprocate, which is tantamount to planting a huge hidden danger for the future.
Yao Song knew in his heart that Tuobagui had made a decision long ago, but he was afraid of King Wei, so it was inconvenient to express his opinion, and now he used the topic to beat himself, so he looked up at the emperor deeply, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, that is to say, The 'final blow' just mentioned by the minister."
King Wei supported the eldest prince, and everyone in the court and the public knew that if he was established, it would be in the right hands. How could it be the 'last blow' to force him to rebel?But Tuobagui was quite calm, and just ordered him to get up thoughtfully: "Chao Ru, make it clear."
"Your Majesty's pioneering business, great talents and great strategies can only be compared with Qin Huang and Han Wu." Yao Song suddenly changed the subject, "These two emperors have achieved similar achievements, but because of the difference in their twilight years, the Qin and Han dynasties are completely different. The first emperor established Hu Hai, which caused Zhao Gao to take power, and all the heroes in the world died together in the second generation; while Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the youngest son Liu Fuling to succeed him, but in order to prevent the lord and young mother from harassing the harem, he gave the prince's biological mother to death. Mrs. Gouyi, it was only then that Zhaoxuan Zhongxing came into being, which protected Yan Han for 400 years—" Yao Song licked his lips, and continued smoothly, "The situation is different now, but the reason is the same. His Highness is smart and decisive, and it is not easy to be judged by others. At the mercy of King Wei, Mrs. Liu's ears, if his son and mother die, it will be tantamount to cutting off the last sliver of luck and hope of King Wei. If a man in power cannot give up his ambition and hatred, then he can only fight desperately. Once, is there a second way to go?"
Tuoba Gui remained silent for a long time, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yao Song became intriguing.Yao Song whispered again: "Besides, if this is made into a system, from then on, the concubines in the harem would rather give birth to kings and princesses in order to save their lives than princes, and naturally they would no longer compete for the throne. Wouldn't it be forever?"
With such a single move of four or two thousand catties, the He Lan family will no longer dare to deliberately seek the East Palace.
Tuobagui's eyes flickered: "...It's just a little cruel, so you're not afraid of being criticized by future generations?"
Yao Song said: "Who in the world does not praise Han Wu as an emperor through the ages, with wise decisions and precautions? Your Majesty, for thousands of years, only historians with swords and pens have been obsessed with the process, while the common people and future generations often only look at the final result."
"Chao Ru, the way you are talking eloquently and strategizing now is really like an old acquaintance of mine." Tuoba Gui suddenly spoke in a low voice, Yao Song paused for a moment, and then smiled naturally: "Since your Majesty Old friend, presumably he is also in court now?"
Tuobagui turned around slowly, and his buckskin soap boots made a deep footprint in the snow: "No. He is my most feared enemy, fortunately he is already dead."
Now that he has made up his mind, Tuobagui will no longer hesitate to move forward and act indecisively, and immediately preemptively sends Hou Guanwei back to Pingcheng at night to announce the order to Madam Liu.After the whole thing was done, he took advantage of the time when all the relatives of the emperor were in Yinshan and promulgated this earth-shattering imperial decree-canonize the eldest son Tuo Basi as the crown prince, and bestow the death of his mother Liu. , Great Wei Emperor Zuo always followed this law.
The female family members in the palace and the ministers in the court were all struck by lightning, and they were all dumbfounded.Tuoba Si cried out in pain, and walked up to his knees with tears in his eyes, begging his father to take back his life. He would rather not be the crown prince. Tuoba Gui first offered a few words of comfort, but after seeing him crying endlessly, he said impatiently: " Nonsense! The crown prince of a country is something you say you don’t do and don’t do it? What’s more, filial piety is divided into big and small, and the country is the first and the family is the system. If it is harmful to the country, even parents, nephews, and biological brothers are ruthless!" After all, Tuoba Si was a child over seven years old, even though he was deeply afraid that his father would not dare to argue again, he couldn't bear the severe pain of parting from his mother, and immediately passed out from crying.
These words seemed to hit Tuoba Yi's heart, his face was livid and his brows were tightened when he heard it, if he hadn't been supported by his relatives, he might have collapsed on the spot - all his painstaking efforts in planning so far have been in vain.
After the dynasty was over, he quietly went to look for Tuoba heir behind everyone's back, but was stopped by the officials of the East Palace, who only said that the prince was too sad and unwell, and that he could not see any visitors.Two or three times like this, Tuoba Yi finally understood that it was true that Tuoba Si was sad, and it was also true that he took the opportunity to avoid suspicion. Once Liu Shi died, he would try his best to draw a line with him, in order to show his cruel father Zhong!This child is a big kid, and he will be a master who is difficult to rule and manipulate in the future!
Tuobayi returned to the tent, but stayed up all night, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became - Tuobagui's wife who had been in love for many years could kill him at will, if something changed, how could he show mercy to his half-way brothers?Changshan King and Mrs. Liu were executed one after another, maybe it was all to deal with him-now he is accompanying the army, and he brought only two or three hundred soldiers from his own headquarters. If Tuobagui wanted to raise his butcher knife against him, he would have to kill him portion.This cognition made Tuoba Yi restless, and the next day, he presented a sincere apology to Tuoba Gui, and proposed to return to Pingcheng to mourn for his younger brother, and left Yinshan in a hurry.
Because Tuoba Zun was bestowed to death, Tuoba Yi didn't dare to express his condolences, so he just hung a white sheet in Changshan Palace, and invited a great witch to perform a ceremony of ascension to heaven according to the old Xianbei custom.
After burning the paper-made men and horses Fangyu and Tuoba Zun's usual clothes and utensils, Tuobayi and others dressed in mourning clothes and Erlesu belts, sat in a circle, and served a bowl of cow's blood soaked in the firelight. The water talismans fell to the ground again, and Tuoba Yi began to cry loudly, and everyone around him also wept unceasingly.Tuobayi wiped his tears and asked: "When King Changshan was encoffined, his eyes were closed and his seven holes were bleeding. He was clearly wronged to the extreme, so how can he ascend to heaven with peace of mind!"
Even someone said: "I will sacrifice the heart and blood of the traitor who killed the prince, so as to comfort the prince!"
"Wei Wanggui is a Taiwei, the leader of the kings, how can he allow his brother to die of injustice?!"
"This is clearly provoking our Xianbei Babu!"
Tuoba Yi stood up vigorously, furious: "If you all want to avenge my brother, let alone me? It's just that the villain is blessed by the heavens, and we, as ministers, have nothing to do!"
The leader of the Yu tribe, Yu Yue, has always been the most die-hard Royalist Party, and because most of his tribe's fiefdoms are in the grasslands, and because of the new policy of "encouraging farming and mulberry, retiring pastures and promoting farming", he suffered the most. He was also secretly dissatisfied with reforming and abandoning veteran officials.Therefore, he said: "The emperor was sometimes deceived by the saints. The unknown origin of the surname Ren, why should he enter and exit the palace and be domineering! Among the Han people, there are still people who are on the side of the Qing emperor. King Wei is one person under ten thousand people, and even more You should stand up and reinvigorate the imperial court!" All of them echoed and angered all over the place, all of them were Xianbei nobles who had been appointed officials and worshiped nobles by virtue of their seniority and military exploits, but recently they were idle in the court and felt resentful.
Tuoba Yi sneered: "Today I am still the prince, tomorrow I will not know where I am, and I will die." He took out a silk book from his arms: "This is the imperial decree just received, when the emperor returns to Luan I want to offer sacrifices to heaven and worship Buddha at Mount Wuzhou, and tell Prince Xinli of the world to hand over the soldier amulets of the "Wolf, Tiger, and Leopard" armies of the Gyeonggi Guards, and temporarily hand them over to Ren Zhen, the Hussar General, who will lead the troops to Wuzhou. Martial law guards in Zhoushan—this is a temporary loan? It is clearly a seizure of power! Next, this king will have to go back to his old capital, Shengle'an, and guard the mausoleum for the rest of his life just like the previous uncle and grandson!"
These words immediately aroused the sympathy and grief of Shusun Antong, the son of Shusun Puluo, Zuodu Hou. His father was sent to Shengle to guard the mausoleum of the ancestors because he was too aggressive and repeatedly violated the sacred will, which caused their family power to plummet in Pingcheng. , Immediately angrily said: "If King Wei is forced to leave Pingcheng, which of us will be spared?! The foundation of the Great Wei Kingdom was originally laid by our Xianbei men. Since the emperor appointed villains and acted against them, we should stand up 'Qing Jun's side', 'Zheng Chao Gang'!" As soon as these words came out, it was like a drop of water had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, and the nobles who had been aggrieved for a long time and dared not speak out They all boiled up, and they all responded loudly and geared up, all saying that they would strike while Ren Zhen returned to Beijing to hand over the military power first, except for this scourge.
In fact, it is true in the imperial decree to offer sacrifices to heaven and worship Buddha and the transfer of military power, and the rest of the people were demoted to Shengle to guard their spirits, etc., all of which were deliberately said by Tuoba Yi to incite people's hearts and create panic-of course he knew that once he was deprived of military power again, he would really You can only be slaughtered like a fish out of water-it is better to accumulate all your strength and fight to the death than to sit and wait for death!Seeing that people's hearts are available, he immediately clapped his hands, ordered someone to bring out a bunch of blank porcelain bowls, and said while the iron was hot: "Since you all have the heart to clean up the king's side for the country, then this king will not want it with his head, risking his life to eliminate adultery! It's just the matter here Great, you need to plan in advance, and don’t let the wind out—we must swear blood as an alliance in front of Changshan Wangling, and the traitor will die immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the knife and swiped his hand lightly on his wrist, and the remaining Everyone followed suit one after another. At this moment, there was a report outside the door: People from Zhao Guogong's mansion came to express their condolences.
But it turned out that He Lanna sent people to send twelve cents of various sacrifices to pay homage to Tuoba Zun, but he himself had to leave the mansion and go out of Beijing to recuperate because of "recurrence of head disease and serious illness".After the people left, Tuoba Yi snorted coldly: "This old fox knows why we have a party today, but he pretends to be a coward, and doesn't want to come to this muddy water!"
Shusun Antong pressed his sword in a hurry: "Then just get rid of He Lanna, so that he won't report the news!"
"He Lanjun is still leading troops in the southwest to guard against Xiyan. It is not good for us to attack He Lanna, so as not to cause endless trouble." Tuoba Yi waved his hand, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although the He Lan family has two daughters as concubines, it is because of the appointment of a crown prince. He and the emperor have already made up their minds about this matter, since he came to present a gift at this moment to show his goodwill, it means that if there is a change, he will stay out of it at best and will not hold us back."
He paused, raised his head and said, "Our priority right now is to kill rapes and eliminate harms on the side of the emperor, and don't let anything go wrong."
The winter hunting in the Yinshan Mountains, which lasted for more than a month, finally came to an end. Tuoba Guiluan drove back to Beijing in a mighty manner, passing through Wuzhou Mountain to worship the gods and worship Buddha, and led Hussar General Ren Zhen to the three army camps in Gyeonggi to hand over troops.
Tuoba Yi and the others were dressed in military uniforms and had left the city early to wait in the outskirts. At this moment, they heard the movement, and looked from a distance on their horses, but saw billowing smoke and flying flags, and a group of hundreds of riders rushed forward.When I got closer, I saw that the army with the embroidered hairpin tassels had all kinds of axes, axe, golden melon, and yellow leopard tail, and what I borrowed was actually the emperor's ceremonial guard. Doing business alone, without all the qualifications and military merits, will make this arrogant soldier look down upon, so he lent his own Habayashi army to support Ren Zhen.He sneered, pulled his horse forward, and shouted from a distance in front of the battle: "Who is coming?"
Ren Zhen was ordered to suspend the march, and he went out in line with the crowd. He was wearing the silver dragon armor he wore when he was marching to the north, and he was awe-inspiring: "Hussar General Ren Zhen, according to the order, please hand over the king of Wei." Soldiers!"
As soon as Tuobayi raised his hand, the Xianbei knights in strong and sharp clothes rushed forward together, and the earthquake and mountain shakers lined up behind him. Authentic: "This king's official residence is the Taiwei, and he is in charge of the three armies. Why should I hand over the military talisman to you?"
Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty supports his troops and respects himself. Could it be that he wants to disrespect the order?"
Tuoba Yi yelled violently: "You encouraged the emperor to kill heroes indiscriminately, and you went beyond the rules and used the emperor's ceremonial guards. This is disobedience! Now this king is going to do justice for the heavens and destroy you, a treacherous villain who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Then go to the emperor to ask for the order to accept the crime!"
The voice was loud, and at once the war drums were beating and the painting horns were blowing. The ambush soldiers that had been arranged earlier rushed out from the two wings. The horseshoes immediately formed a three-sided attack. , the Habayashi officers and soldiers also drew their swords out of their sheaths, held their bows in their hands, and watched intently.
At this moment when the trigger was on the verge of breaking out, Ren Zhen's formation was suddenly divided into two sides, and an inconspicuous blue-covered car drove out from it, and a shocking voice came from inside: "Then invite King Wei to come in." Array, explain it in front of me!"
Tuobayi was stunned on the spot, the car curtain was lifted, and sitting high inside was Daowu Emperor Tuobagui, with a sneering sneer on his lips: "I also want to know, King Wei drew his sword out of its sheath to besiege the holy car, but Do you want to rebel?"
Ren Zhen met his eyes, and the hostility in his eyes did not fade: "Tuoba Zun dared to take your life today, and it will be difficult to let go in the future. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take action to eliminate future troubles, otherwise I will not feel at ease!"
Yao Song had guessed that he was doing it for his own safety—if Ren Zhen was a step late, the consequences would be disastrous, and he couldn't always protect him, so he would rather take the risk.At this moment, when he saw that there were only two of them in the world, he quickly stopped him and said, "Tuoba Zun is Tuoba Yi's younger brother. Tuoba Yi has many worries and has not revealed his betrayal. Tuoba Gui will not scare the snake. If you act too hastily, in case something happens To arouse his suspicion—"
Ren Zhen suddenly grabbed his palm with his backhand, and said softly but resolutely, "Then force him to fight back. Zijun, I know what I'm doing."
Yao Song was stunned for a moment, and a complex emotion surged up in his heart—at this time, Ren Zhen was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if he had gone back to the glorious years when he killed Fang Qiu decisively, and he was still the Emperor of Xiyan. With one wave, you can guide millions of soldiers in the country.
However, he clearly knew that no one could go back to the past—his dedicated assistance and his imperial dominance had been so long ago that they were like unawakened dreams from previous lives.He felt sad for a while, and remembered that under the brilliant lights of Changle Weiyang, the monarch and his subjects were inseparable from each other, and when they raised their hands and looked back, they understood it, and there was no need to say a word—such a good time, but it was too short.
He took a deep breath, and nodded lightly as usual: "Okay. I'll listen to you—" What is Tuobayi, what is the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as I have you, I am not afraid of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will teach it to turn the world upside down!
In the gorgeous dome, Tuoba Yi, who was also in a rage, slapped the table and said angrily: "If you drink too much wine, you can't get bored with someone, but you want to find that woman. How can you spread the word?! Among the eight tribes of Xianbei, there is no question of being Mie, the eldest grandson is weak, Xi Jin belongs to the emperor, and the remaining uncles and grandsons, Hebu, and Yubu are not very successful. We and the Helan family hold military power. Although we belong to the same camp at present, we are supporting each other. There are different positions on the matter of establishing the crown prince. Now is the time when the relationship is delicate. Instead, you are going to make trouble—even if you want to make trouble, you shouldn’t be bumped into it. In the end, you broke your face with that man—you don’t know Who is the most important thing in the emperor's heart, is it time to confront him head-on?!"
There were thick bandages wrapped around Tuoba Zun's neck, and he raised his head to look at his brother with difficulty, with a dejected and unlucky expression on his face: "I, I want to kill people without revealing anything because I know that things must not be revealed. , who would have thought that Ren would bump into him, and suddenly jump out like a lunatic to fight me desperately?"
When Tuoba Yi heard the word "surnamed Ren", he couldn't help but sneered, and said, "He is more than just a lunatic! There are even more wicked people that you don't know about!" No one would believe it, let alone his own younger brother who was always rude.He is greedy for power and profit, and holds the military power of the Tuoba tribe, the leader of the eight tribes of Xianbei, but he doesn't want to confront his domineering and gloomy cousin with open swords and spears, otherwise he would not use the Liu family to plan for the future.He pondered over and over again, frowning deeply and said: "Who knows what kind of slander that person will say, maybe I need to make some preparations, and I will act first."
Tuoba Zun turned his head and immediately hissed in pain, remembering Ren Zhen's fierce expression like Yama's at that time—his moves were fierce and he didn't hold back, he really wanted his life!He couldn't help snorting coldly: "Since ancient times, we have been close friends, so the emperor wouldn't just say a word to him and kill you and my brother, right?" Tuoba Yi glared at him, thinking that you don't know who to say Who is close, the emperor may not take their cousins who came here halfway seriously, but after all, he is an official as a captain and in charge of the three armies, so he should have some scruples when he thinks about going to Tuoba Gui, so he sighed Said: "You give me some peace these days, and don't wander around even if the injury is not healed."
Tuo Ba Zun hurriedly agreed, but the soldiers outside the tent suddenly reported that the emperor's imperial decree had arrived.
Tuoba Yi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to come so soon, and comforted himself again, saying that the announcement may not necessarily be related to today's events, even if it is related, it is probably a warning.Standing up to adjust his clothes, he told Tuoba Zun: "Don't go out!" He strode out to greet him, and saw from a distance that the person who came to proclaim the decree was not Zhongchang Shi Zongqing, standing in the snow in a row of black clothes and black ink. The warriors in armor put on a bit of awe-inspiring spirit.The leader unfolded the yellow silk: "King Wei accepts the order."
Tuoba Yi knelt down on one knee, but his heart skipped a beat—how could it be Hou Guan!The most treacherous and evil institutions inside and outside the Great Wei court are all composed of descendants of criminal officials and criminals. They have no father, mother, family or faction. They are outside the establishment of the three armies, and only obey Tuoba Gui. Seeing traces, but when ordered to go out, blood must be seen.
"King Tuoba of Changshan committed a crime of disobedience after drinking, and offended the imperial concubine. He committed suicide by giving him poison and alcohol. King Wei also committed the crime of lax supervision. I want you to think about your mistakes and reflect on this."
Just such a few words, like a sharp knife on his body, Tuoba Yi was completely stunned - he was secretly wary of Ren Zhen's slander, but he never thought that Tuoba Gui would actually do it for nothing. The subjugated king of the country dares to kill Changshan King without saying a word, using such a pretentious thing as an excuse!He suddenly thought of something, jumped up and ran back. The moment he opened the curtain, he just saw the black-clothed warrior with his back facing him let go, the wine bottle in his hand was already empty, but Tuoba Zun had been forcibly poured down. The poisoned wine, limp on the ground, straightened his neck and twitched a few times, then blood gushed out from his lower nose and lips, and gradually lost his breath.
The man in black turned around, most of his face was covered tightly, the only exposed pair of cold eyes showed no trace of timidity when facing King Wei, as if he was just looking at a corpse.Tuoba Yi let out a low growl, and drew out his saber to slash with his hands, but was blocked by the man one by one, holding him firmly: "King Wei wants to resist the edict?"
His voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant, but Tuoba Yi felt a chill all over - Tuoba Gui was waiting to take his fault!The more it is at this time, the more he has to hold his breath, because now he has no chance of winning if he makes a move.Seeing the change in his expression, the man's eyes flashed, he quickly put the knife back into its sheath, stepped back a few steps, bowed slightly, turned and left without delay.
Tuoba Yi suppressed the strange sense of familiarity with this marquis official in her heart, and hurried to Tuoba Zun's side, already deadly.Tuoba Yi thumped the ground angrily: "Murong Chong! I will kill you evildoer to avenge this!"
The hunting in Yinshan in the winter of the second year of Tianxing was tainted with an ominous bloody aura due to the sudden turmoil. Everyone was trembling and did not dare to hunt recklessly.Even He Lanmi, who was the cause of this matter, was instinctively terrified—how could Tuobagui bestow the death of King Changshan for her, but didn't ask further questions afterward?Therefore, my heart was also up and down, secretly blaming Chao Ru for being too busy.Tuoba Si and the others felt that the rain was coming, and they were more cautious in their words and deeds, and they did not dare to make any mistakes in front of Tuobagui. Only Tuoba Shao didn't care, and still gathered people to ride and shoot, roaring in the mountains and forests.
Tuobagui didn't seem to know the weird atmosphere where everyone was in danger, and he still got angry at the medical officer in the tent: "Didn't you say it was a skin trauma? Why can't the bleeding be stopped now?!" To put it bluntly, he didn't understand why such a common arrow wound was still bleeding.Ren Zhen sat leaning back with a pale face, and there was a circle of red stains on the gauze on his arm. Tuobagui felt distressed, and didn't bother to listen to the military doctor's confusing explanation, so he ordered someone to drag him down for execution, and reapplied the medicine to bandage his mouth. Li said: "Why do you always get injured—no matter how bad it is, we'll get up immediately and rush back to Pingcheng overnight. There are still a hundred or eighty imperial doctors in the palace, so they won't all be so useless."
Chao Ru stood on the sidelines, thinking: This wounded person took advantage of people's unpreparedness and often dug up the flesh and blood of the wound and let it fester. Naturally, this wound will never heal. Tuobagui wouldn't be furious for a moment, and he would blatantly kill Tuoba Zun like this.
In any case, Ren Zhen is probably the person in the world who understands Tuoba Gui's temperament and weaknesses best.
Chao Ru curled his lips and sighed in a timely manner.Tuoba Gui heard clearly, but only glanced at him, then turned back to gently and skillfully cleaned up the wound: "You rest first, I will come to see you later." Standing up, Chao Ru nodded slightly, Chao Ru understood, and immediately followed suit followed out.
"Tell me, why are you sighing?" Tuobagui took the handkerchief from Zong Qinghe's waist and wiped his hands little by little in a place where there was no one, and asked lightly.
Chao Ru looked at his nose, nose and heart, but he didn't answer. Tuoba Gui raised his hand and ordered the servants to retreat, and he just said: "I think that the emperor's move...is a bit rash. King Wei, after all, the official is a lieutenant. With heavy troops in hand, you can mobilize the Gyeonggi Suwei troops—”
Tuobagui sneered and said: "Oh? He has the guts to hurt me, so I have to be afraid of his power and not be able to pursue punishment?" He threw the silk handkerchief in his hand to the ground, and said in a hateful voice, "It's hard for a mountain. Rong Erhu, even if it doesn't happen, I won't spare him for a long time!"
Yao Song naturally knew that Tuoba Gui had almost run out of patience with Tuoba Yi under his secret instigation in the state affairs and government affairs in the past few days, and he had long wanted to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot, but he deliberately shook his head and said: "Xianbei Babu, Wei The king will take the lead. If the troops come together without a name, the foundation of the country may be shaken."
Cui Hao often mentioned this before. Every time Tuobagui wanted to deal with King Wei, Cui Hao would always try to dissuade him by saying, "You can only move the whole body slowly if you pull one hair." When he said it, he instinctively knew that there was something hidden in his words, and there was more to come.So he turned his gaze away and said in a deep voice: "Chao Ru, you don't have to go around in such a big circle to say something. What you and I said today is only six ears. No matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence."
Yao Song had held his appetite for a long time, and just waiting for this sentence, he immediately took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Since your Majesty has made up his mind, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Regarding the matter of King Changshan, King Wei must have a grudge and plan—— As the saying goes, if you want to get what you give first, your majesty might as well push the boat with the current, hit him when he is down, and give him the last blow, forcing him to rebel. Then let him join forces and recruit troops. As long as he shows his rebellious behavior, your majesty will suppress it again and wipe out the grass. In addition, you can also eradicate all the people in the court who are attached to the king, and from now on, your majesty will govern without any restrictions."
Tuobagui raised his eyebrows - Cui Hao is good at planning, but now it seems that he is not as good as Chao Ru.He was just about to ask how to make the last blow, when he suddenly heard a commotion from far and near - it was the second prince Tuoba Shao who started hunting, and rushed over with a large group of people in a hurry, riding on the white snow, Clouds and foam splashed in all directions, and it was too late to avoid it by the time it was seen that it was Tuoba Gui.Tuoba Shao had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, got off the pony, and respectfully greeted his father.
Yao Song hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, while taking a sneak peek at him: Although this Tuoba Shao had a violent temper since he was a child, especially his father, he was indeed born with martial courage. Today, he wore a set of shining chain mail next to his body, but he still had the dashing aura of a young hero. It was not affected by the heavy atmosphere in the army at this time.Tuobagui glanced at the prey he was about to hang, and uncharacteristically did not yell, and even told him to be careful not to be greedy, and then let him go.
After waiting for the people to leave, Tuobagui looked at Yao Song, and asked straightforwardly: "I have two sons, who is more inferior to me?"
Yao Song thought for a while: "The First Highness is cautious, the Second Highness is heroic, and they all have the appearance of a young dragon. If there is a comparison, the Second Highness is more like Your Majesty."
"Then in your opinion, if you want to establish an heir, Shao'er should be the first?" Tuoba Gui sneered, how could he have forgotten that Chao Ru came from Zhao Guogong's mansion, and the Helan family's father and daughter were eager to be the crown prince, so naturally Tuobayi, who hoped to support Mrs. Liu and Tuobasi, fell apart.In fact, he didn't fully trust this person, now that he was suspicious, he deliberately tried to test him out, once Chao Ru really proposed to welcome Tuoba Shao, such a soft and treacherous person would really be hard to keep.
This time Yao Song said without any hesitation: "If there is a heir, there will be a heir, and if there is no heir, there will be an elder. This is what sages and sages have done since ancient times."
Tuobagui didn't expect him to say these words, he felt a chill in his heart, and said deliberately: "The two princes are only half a year apart, the princes of a country will carry on the past, and the most important thing is whether they are capable or not."
"After the Gold Casting Ceremony and Yinshan Hunting, His Majesty's virtuous ability has been revealed to the world." Of course Yao Song could guess Tuobagui's true thoughts, and immediately lifted his clothes and knelt down, "I know that I am talking about killing you." Words from the heart—this matter is beyond the reach of a minister, but since the minister serves the court and thinks of His Majesty wholeheartedly, these words from the heart must be spoken frankly!"
Tuobagui clapped his palms and sneered, "What a loyal minister, you originally came from the Helan family, but now you have turned your back on the old master and changed your family. How do you know that it's not for the sake of support?"
Yao Song had no choice but to bow down to his former colleagues and subordinates, but he replied calmly and neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty is the only master in Wei, and I never dare to change my mind, let alone change my family! "
Tuoba Gui stared at him closely, but he didn't see a trace of tension or flaws in his expression. After a moment of silence, he still shook his head: "Tuoba Si...the current situation...is not right."
He is still trying to get rid of Tuobayi on one side, but on the other side he cannot make Tuobayi the heir - his biological mother, Mrs. Liu, has been supported by Tuobayi all these years, and some Xianbei relatives headed by him The preferred candidate for the crown prince is the eldest prince.And once Tuo Basi is in the East Palace, Mrs. Liu's faction will definitely gain power, and they will reciprocate, which is tantamount to planting a huge hidden danger for the future.
Yao Song knew in his heart that Tuobagui had made a decision long ago, but he was afraid of King Wei, so it was inconvenient to express his opinion, and now he used the topic to beat himself, so he looked up at the emperor deeply, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, that is to say, The 'final blow' just mentioned by the minister."
King Wei supported the eldest prince, and everyone in the court and the public knew that if he was established, it would be in the right hands. How could it be the 'last blow' to force him to rebel?But Tuobagui was quite calm, and just ordered him to get up thoughtfully: "Chao Ru, make it clear."
"Your Majesty's pioneering business, great talents and great strategies can only be compared with Qin Huang and Han Wu." Yao Song suddenly changed the subject, "These two emperors have achieved similar achievements, but because of the difference in their twilight years, the Qin and Han dynasties are completely different. The first emperor established Hu Hai, which caused Zhao Gao to take power, and all the heroes in the world died together in the second generation; while Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the youngest son Liu Fuling to succeed him, but in order to prevent the lord and young mother from harassing the harem, he gave the prince's biological mother to death. Mrs. Gouyi, it was only then that Zhaoxuan Zhongxing came into being, which protected Yan Han for 400 years—" Yao Song licked his lips, and continued smoothly, "The situation is different now, but the reason is the same. His Highness is smart and decisive, and it is not easy to be judged by others. At the mercy of King Wei, Mrs. Liu's ears, if his son and mother die, it will be tantamount to cutting off the last sliver of luck and hope of King Wei. If a man in power cannot give up his ambition and hatred, then he can only fight desperately. Once, is there a second way to go?"
Tuoba Gui remained silent for a long time, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yao Song became intriguing.Yao Song whispered again: "Besides, if this is made into a system, from then on, the concubines in the harem would rather give birth to kings and princesses in order to save their lives than princes, and naturally they would no longer compete for the throne. Wouldn't it be forever?"
With such a single move of four or two thousand catties, the He Lan family will no longer dare to deliberately seek the East Palace.
Tuobagui's eyes flickered: "...It's just a little cruel, so you're not afraid of being criticized by future generations?"
Yao Song said: "Who in the world does not praise Han Wu as an emperor through the ages, with wise decisions and precautions? Your Majesty, for thousands of years, only historians with swords and pens have been obsessed with the process, while the common people and future generations often only look at the final result."
"Chao Ru, the way you are talking eloquently and strategizing now is really like an old acquaintance of mine." Tuoba Gui suddenly spoke in a low voice, Yao Song paused for a moment, and then smiled naturally: "Since your Majesty Old friend, presumably he is also in court now?"
Tuobagui turned around slowly, and his buckskin soap boots made a deep footprint in the snow: "No. He is my most feared enemy, fortunately he is already dead."
Now that he has made up his mind, Tuobagui will no longer hesitate to move forward and act indecisively, and immediately preemptively sends Hou Guanwei back to Pingcheng at night to announce the order to Madam Liu.After the whole thing was done, he took advantage of the time when all the relatives of the emperor were in Yinshan and promulgated this earth-shattering imperial decree-canonize the eldest son Tuo Basi as the crown prince, and bestow the death of his mother Liu. , Great Wei Emperor Zuo always followed this law.
The female family members in the palace and the ministers in the court were all struck by lightning, and they were all dumbfounded.Tuoba Si cried out in pain, and walked up to his knees with tears in his eyes, begging his father to take back his life. He would rather not be the crown prince. Tuoba Gui first offered a few words of comfort, but after seeing him crying endlessly, he said impatiently: " Nonsense! The crown prince of a country is something you say you don’t do and don’t do it? What’s more, filial piety is divided into big and small, and the country is the first and the family is the system. If it is harmful to the country, even parents, nephews, and biological brothers are ruthless!" After all, Tuoba Si was a child over seven years old, even though he was deeply afraid that his father would not dare to argue again, he couldn't bear the severe pain of parting from his mother, and immediately passed out from crying.
These words seemed to hit Tuoba Yi's heart, his face was livid and his brows were tightened when he heard it, if he hadn't been supported by his relatives, he might have collapsed on the spot - all his painstaking efforts in planning so far have been in vain.
After the dynasty was over, he quietly went to look for Tuoba heir behind everyone's back, but was stopped by the officials of the East Palace, who only said that the prince was too sad and unwell, and that he could not see any visitors.Two or three times like this, Tuoba Yi finally understood that it was true that Tuoba Si was sad, and it was also true that he took the opportunity to avoid suspicion. Once Liu Shi died, he would try his best to draw a line with him, in order to show his cruel father Zhong!This child is a big kid, and he will be a master who is difficult to rule and manipulate in the future!
Tuobayi returned to the tent, but stayed up all night, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became - Tuobagui's wife who had been in love for many years could kill him at will, if something changed, how could he show mercy to his half-way brothers?Changshan King and Mrs. Liu were executed one after another, maybe it was all to deal with him-now he is accompanying the army, and he brought only two or three hundred soldiers from his own headquarters. If Tuobagui wanted to raise his butcher knife against him, he would have to kill him portion.This cognition made Tuoba Yi restless, and the next day, he presented a sincere apology to Tuoba Gui, and proposed to return to Pingcheng to mourn for his younger brother, and left Yinshan in a hurry.
Because Tuoba Zun was bestowed to death, Tuoba Yi didn't dare to express his condolences, so he just hung a white sheet in Changshan Palace, and invited a great witch to perform a ceremony of ascension to heaven according to the old Xianbei custom.
After burning the paper-made men and horses Fangyu and Tuoba Zun's usual clothes and utensils, Tuobayi and others dressed in mourning clothes and Erlesu belts, sat in a circle, and served a bowl of cow's blood soaked in the firelight. The water talismans fell to the ground again, and Tuoba Yi began to cry loudly, and everyone around him also wept unceasingly.Tuobayi wiped his tears and asked: "When King Changshan was encoffined, his eyes were closed and his seven holes were bleeding. He was clearly wronged to the extreme, so how can he ascend to heaven with peace of mind!"
Even someone said: "I will sacrifice the heart and blood of the traitor who killed the prince, so as to comfort the prince!"
"Wei Wanggui is a Taiwei, the leader of the kings, how can he allow his brother to die of injustice?!"
"This is clearly provoking our Xianbei Babu!"
Tuoba Yi stood up vigorously, furious: "If you all want to avenge my brother, let alone me? It's just that the villain is blessed by the heavens, and we, as ministers, have nothing to do!"
The leader of the Yu tribe, Yu Yue, has always been the most die-hard Royalist Party, and because most of his tribe's fiefdoms are in the grasslands, and because of the new policy of "encouraging farming and mulberry, retiring pastures and promoting farming", he suffered the most. He was also secretly dissatisfied with reforming and abandoning veteran officials.Therefore, he said: "The emperor was sometimes deceived by the saints. The unknown origin of the surname Ren, why should he enter and exit the palace and be domineering! Among the Han people, there are still people who are on the side of the Qing emperor. King Wei is one person under ten thousand people, and even more You should stand up and reinvigorate the imperial court!" All of them echoed and angered all over the place, all of them were Xianbei nobles who had been appointed officials and worshiped nobles by virtue of their seniority and military exploits, but recently they were idle in the court and felt resentful.
Tuoba Yi sneered: "Today I am still the prince, tomorrow I will not know where I am, and I will die." He took out a silk book from his arms: "This is the imperial decree just received, when the emperor returns to Luan I want to offer sacrifices to heaven and worship Buddha at Mount Wuzhou, and tell Prince Xinli of the world to hand over the soldier amulets of the "Wolf, Tiger, and Leopard" armies of the Gyeonggi Guards, and temporarily hand them over to Ren Zhen, the Hussar General, who will lead the troops to Wuzhou. Martial law guards in Zhoushan—this is a temporary loan? It is clearly a seizure of power! Next, this king will have to go back to his old capital, Shengle'an, and guard the mausoleum for the rest of his life just like the previous uncle and grandson!"
These words immediately aroused the sympathy and grief of Shusun Antong, the son of Shusun Puluo, Zuodu Hou. His father was sent to Shengle to guard the mausoleum of the ancestors because he was too aggressive and repeatedly violated the sacred will, which caused their family power to plummet in Pingcheng. , Immediately angrily said: "If King Wei is forced to leave Pingcheng, which of us will be spared?! The foundation of the Great Wei Kingdom was originally laid by our Xianbei men. Since the emperor appointed villains and acted against them, we should stand up 'Qing Jun's side', 'Zheng Chao Gang'!" As soon as these words came out, it was like a drop of water had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, and the nobles who had been aggrieved for a long time and dared not speak out They all boiled up, and they all responded loudly and geared up, all saying that they would strike while Ren Zhen returned to Beijing to hand over the military power first, except for this scourge.
In fact, it is true in the imperial decree to offer sacrifices to heaven and worship Buddha and the transfer of military power, and the rest of the people were demoted to Shengle to guard their spirits, etc., all of which were deliberately said by Tuoba Yi to incite people's hearts and create panic-of course he knew that once he was deprived of military power again, he would really You can only be slaughtered like a fish out of water-it is better to accumulate all your strength and fight to the death than to sit and wait for death!Seeing that people's hearts are available, he immediately clapped his hands, ordered someone to bring out a bunch of blank porcelain bowls, and said while the iron was hot: "Since you all have the heart to clean up the king's side for the country, then this king will not want it with his head, risking his life to eliminate adultery! It's just the matter here Great, you need to plan in advance, and don’t let the wind out—we must swear blood as an alliance in front of Changshan Wangling, and the traitor will die immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the knife and swiped his hand lightly on his wrist, and the remaining Everyone followed suit one after another. At this moment, there was a report outside the door: People from Zhao Guogong's mansion came to express their condolences.
But it turned out that He Lanna sent people to send twelve cents of various sacrifices to pay homage to Tuoba Zun, but he himself had to leave the mansion and go out of Beijing to recuperate because of "recurrence of head disease and serious illness".After the people left, Tuoba Yi snorted coldly: "This old fox knows why we have a party today, but he pretends to be a coward, and doesn't want to come to this muddy water!"
Shusun Antong pressed his sword in a hurry: "Then just get rid of He Lanna, so that he won't report the news!"
"He Lanjun is still leading troops in the southwest to guard against Xiyan. It is not good for us to attack He Lanna, so as not to cause endless trouble." Tuoba Yi waved his hand, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although the He Lan family has two daughters as concubines, it is because of the appointment of a crown prince. He and the emperor have already made up their minds about this matter, since he came to present a gift at this moment to show his goodwill, it means that if there is a change, he will stay out of it at best and will not hold us back."
He paused, raised his head and said, "Our priority right now is to kill rapes and eliminate harms on the side of the emperor, and don't let anything go wrong."
The winter hunting in the Yinshan Mountains, which lasted for more than a month, finally came to an end. Tuoba Guiluan drove back to Beijing in a mighty manner, passing through Wuzhou Mountain to worship the gods and worship Buddha, and led Hussar General Ren Zhen to the three army camps in Gyeonggi to hand over troops.
Tuoba Yi and the others were dressed in military uniforms and had left the city early to wait in the outskirts. At this moment, they heard the movement, and looked from a distance on their horses, but saw billowing smoke and flying flags, and a group of hundreds of riders rushed forward.When I got closer, I saw that the army with the embroidered hairpin tassels had all kinds of axes, axe, golden melon, and yellow leopard tail, and what I borrowed was actually the emperor's ceremonial guard. Doing business alone, without all the qualifications and military merits, will make this arrogant soldier look down upon, so he lent his own Habayashi army to support Ren Zhen.He sneered, pulled his horse forward, and shouted from a distance in front of the battle: "Who is coming?"
Ren Zhen was ordered to suspend the march, and he went out in line with the crowd. He was wearing the silver dragon armor he wore when he was marching to the north, and he was awe-inspiring: "Hussar General Ren Zhen, according to the order, please hand over the king of Wei." Soldiers!"
As soon as Tuobayi raised his hand, the Xianbei knights in strong and sharp clothes rushed forward together, and the earthquake and mountain shakers lined up behind him. Authentic: "This king's official residence is the Taiwei, and he is in charge of the three armies. Why should I hand over the military talisman to you?"
Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty supports his troops and respects himself. Could it be that he wants to disrespect the order?"
Tuoba Yi yelled violently: "You encouraged the emperor to kill heroes indiscriminately, and you went beyond the rules and used the emperor's ceremonial guards. This is disobedience! Now this king is going to do justice for the heavens and destroy you, a treacherous villain who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Then go to the emperor to ask for the order to accept the crime!"
The voice was loud, and at once the war drums were beating and the painting horns were blowing. The ambush soldiers that had been arranged earlier rushed out from the two wings. The horseshoes immediately formed a three-sided attack. , the Habayashi officers and soldiers also drew their swords out of their sheaths, held their bows in their hands, and watched intently.
At this moment when the trigger was on the verge of breaking out, Ren Zhen's formation was suddenly divided into two sides, and an inconspicuous blue-covered car drove out from it, and a shocking voice came from inside: "Then invite King Wei to come in." Array, explain it in front of me!"
Tuobayi was stunned on the spot, the car curtain was lifted, and sitting high inside was Daowu Emperor Tuobagui, with a sneering sneer on his lips: "I also want to know, King Wei drew his sword out of its sheath to besiege the holy car, but Do you want to rebel?"
