History of Yongwu

Capital

The debate in the Palace of Eternal Life had been going on for some time, Qi Jinyu looked around and stood in the hall.

"Your Majesty," he bowed deeply, appearing very respectful, "The rebels from Dongyang have spread to Xinyang and An County, and if there is no countermeasure, they will soon spread to Gyeonggi."

"What do you think is the best countermeasure?" Guang Luxun Lin Feng squinted at him.

"My minister thought that the imperial court should issue an edict to order Nan Gongxun, the owner of Tianshen Palace, to go to Dongyang to appease the people and win the hearts of the people, so that the rebels will be defeated without attacking," Qi Jinyu said without moving.

Taiwei Xu Han moved his eyelids, stood in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the chaos in Dongyang started from the poor relief of the King of Jin, the loss of people's hearts, the calamity of the Jin Kingdom, and the King of Jin is the first to blame. How can I get the Mistress of Nangong to bear it for me?"

"My lord" Zhou Qianfan stood up and said, "Isn't Jin the territory of Dayong? How can a country be divided into each other? Even if the king of Jin had it, now that the banditry is approaching the capital, the most urgent task is not to eliminate the banditry first. The Nangong palace master went away to appease the people. How do you talk about it?"

"Your Majesty" Qi Jinyu glanced at Zhou Qianfan and said, "Everyone is responsible for the national calamity, and the Heavenly God Palace has received the emperor's favor, so we shouldn't shirk at this time."

"This is not a prevarication." Wang Qianhe stood up, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said seriously, "The king of Jin was unfavorable in calming the chaos first, and then ordered Song Yi to enter Xinyang. This action has violated the rules and should be punished."

What banditry!The old prime minister knew in his heart that King Jin had found someone to disguise him. King Jin had returned to the country, but he was always shrouded in the court, like an impassable mountain.

"Well," Emperor Xuan finally spoke, and he responded softly and looked at everyone, "The King Jin's move was inappropriate, but I understand that it was because of Dongyang's disaster. Now that there are bandits in Xinyang and Anjun, the court cannot just sit idly by. Yang Garrison went south to wipe out the rebels"

Whether it is the rebel army or the banditry, no matter whether it is the Jin State in disguise or not, as long as it is eliminated, the King of Jin will have no excuse to send troops.

"Weak minister leads the decree"

Wang Qianhe knelt down, Qi Jinyu looked at it and knelt down too.

Showa-dono

"Your Majesty" the prince entered the door, "it's getting late, it's time to rest"

Emperor Xuan raised his head and looked out the window, only to realize that it was already too dark to see anyone. When was the lamp in the hall.

"Go, go."

Emperor Xuan came back to his senses, and surrounded by the crowd, he walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Under the high imperial steps, he pushed back the crowd, and walked up alone with a lantern.

The palace lanterns swayed in the wind, and only a small step could be seen under his feet. Emperor Xuan walked carefully step by step, as if he had visited his father's palace many years ago.

Finally, the imperial steps had come to an end, Emperor Xuan looked up, there was no father's indifferent and slightly disgusted eyes inside the door, he was the master here!

Turning around suddenly, Emperor Xuan looked into the distance.That's right, I am the master of this place. I should be the master of Dayong's thousands of miles of land. This world should be the emperor's decree. Don't dare to disobey it!

Is it because I am too incompetent?Emperor Xuan looked at the swaying lamp in his hand, and suddenly wondered if the sixth younger brother could take this position, would it be so difficult for him?Will he do better than himself?

Pa... The palace lantern fell, and the light was instantly extinguished. Emperor Xuan was shocked by his own accidental thoughts and broke out in a cold sweat.

No!All of this should belong to me, I belonged to the destiny, Jin Wang betrayed the king, it was him who was wrong, not me!

Emperor Xuan clenched his fists, eyes hidden in the darkness, staring fiercely ahead.

two days later

Prime Minister's Mansion

"Prime Minister, Xinyang urgent report!"

Wang Qianhe quickly took it over, opened it for a second look, and fell heavily on the table, "Come here, immediately ask the Northern Border Army with the order of the prime minister, why did you enter Xinyang?"

The "Prime Minister" looked at him carefully, and held up another official document and said, "This is a letter from Wang Meng of the Northern Realm, and the letter said..."

"What?" Wang Qianhe frowned.

"Wang Meng said that following the general's military order, the rebels fled widely, and the northern border army was ordered to cooperate with the Yiyang garrison to wipe out the northern rebels."

"Nonsense!" Wang Qian and the old prime minister cursed a little out of composure. Since it was a cooperation, why didn't King Jin play in advance? Where are there rebels running around in the north?

His subordinates stood aside, not daring to breathe. Wang Qianhe had calmed down after sitting there for a moment. It was meaningless to ask the northern border army. What he was thinking about now was how to stabilize the situation in Xinyang. Wang Qianhe didn't want to go to war in his heart. .

"Command" his voice returned to normal and he ordered, "The Yiyang garrison will withdraw, and alert the northern border army, don't act rashly."

"Yes"

"Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace"

Prime Minister Wang hastily entered the palace, and had just made a plan with Emperor Xuan, intending to form a stalemate between the Yiyang garrison and the northern border army, but the next day, the stalemate disappeared.

Zhao Wangfu

"Master Prime Minister" Zhao Wang sat on a chair and looked at Wang Qianhe, "Your Excellency, I don't know why you came to this king's place?"

"My lord, Song Yi led King Jin's army to cross An County and approach Anyang, King Zhao's city. Does your lord know about this?"

"The king knows"

Zhao Wang nodded, looking unhurried, Wang Qianhe frowned slightly and said, "My lord, for the current plan, only Zhao Jun and the imperial court can do it together."

"How to unite?" Zhao Wang asked.

"The two armies should unite to eliminate the garrison army led by Zhao Zhiping first, and then quickly return to rescue Anyang, so that King Jin's conspiracy will not succeed."

Wang Qianhe had just received a report that the northern border army did not want to maintain a stalemate at all, and continued to march southward without any scruples about the possibility of a war, seemingly pointing directly at Yiyang City.

The garrison army led by Zhao Zhiping also crossed Fenshui and was displayed near Yiyang. Because of Wang Qianhe's previous order to return to the army, the Yiyang garrison was caught in a two-sided situation.

"Hehe, this king thinks that we should rescue Anyang first, and then concentrate our forces to defeat Zhao, Wang and others in one fell swoop."

Zhao Wang sneered, he didn't really trust Wang Qianhe in his heart anymore, because of the Dongyang Rebellion, Zhao Jun had already entered Xinyang, that's why Song Yi entered Zhao State now, but Zhao Jun was outside, the most important thing was that Wang Qianhe entered Xinyang without authorization. The Yiyang garrison was transferred to the north, causing Zhao Jun to be threatened by Zhao Zhiping behind his back. Zhao Jun is now returning to the army, and he is likely to be chased and beaten by King Jin.

Wang Qianhe was instigated to lead the army into Xinyang before, and he was also the old prime minister who transferred the Yiyang garrison to the north. Zhao Wang is now very suspicious of Wang Qianhe's intentions. Is he trying to kill two birds with one stone, suppressing Jin and bringing him Zhao.

"My lord, it's too late, Jin Wang will..."

"Prime Minister, Anyang is attacked, and this king is very anxious. I am afraid that the task entrusted by the Prime Minister will not be completed."

Zhao Wang stood up and saluted, and left directly. Wang Qianhe stood there, stunned for a moment, but had no choice but to leave.

The boundary between Dongyang and Xinyang is the Fen River, which, like the river, originates from Mount Qi. The river flows from the west foot of Mount Qi, while the River Fen originates from the east of Qi Mountain. into the river.

Fenchang is next to Fenshui, which is now an important town in Dongyang, Jin Kingdom, in the southern suburbs. His Royal Highness King Jin is riding on a horse, looking at the Nangong Priest who is slowly approaching in the distance.

"See Your Majesty"

"Don't be too polite." Qin Yu waved his hands, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty ignored my request, your father's affairs are a bit difficult."

The little priest's face immediately turned ugly, and Qin Yu quickly comforted him when he saw it, "Don't worry, I won't break my promise, I just need your help with something."

Nangong Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that King Jin was going to go back on his word, "please give me your orders"

"This king wants you to write a letter in person, and invite your father to come to Dongyang, preside over the ceremony, and pray for the common people in the world."

"Yes" Nangong Yuliang agreed, then asked hesitantly, "My lord, is this useful?"

"Yes." Qin Yu glanced at him, looked at the wide water surface in the distance and said, "This king says it will be useful if it is useful."

On the streets of the capital, all the common people and merchants stood on the street and stopped to watch. The envoys from the Tianshen Palace came to meet the emperor. There were hundreds of envoys, all dressed in purple, holding etiquette, and walked through the street in a uniform manner, solemnly and solemnly.

"What is Tianshen Palace doing this day? Make such a big battle"

"I heard that" one person hugging his shoulders "is for the flood in Dongyang, Tianshen Palace petitioned His Majesty, and the master of Nangong went to Dongyang to pray for blessings"

"Petition to His Majesty?" Someone said in confusion, "Didn't you say that Palace Master Nangong didn't go by himself?"

"How come, this matter is naturally..." The man just raised the topic, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't say it, don't say it!"

Regardless of whether it can be said or not, rumors spread inside and outside the capital. It should have been blamed on Nangong Xun's reluctance to save him, but suddenly Emperor Xuan was afraid of King Jin and deliberately intercepted him.

The emperor must not lose his virtue, so Wang Qianhe couldn't even destroy Nangong Xunyu to die, otherwise King Jin would wake up laughing when he sleeps!

Zhao Wangfu

"See Your Highness King Zhao" the envoy saluted respectfully.

"The king of Jin sent someone here, what's the matter?" Zhao Wang said with a gloomy face. If Anyang was not in danger, he would have killed this person immediately.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, King Jin has something to ask King Zhao for help," the envoy said respectfully.

Heh... King Zhao sneered and said, "It's rare that King Jin can ask for help"

"His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, Jin Wang said that as long as you can help Nangong Xun leave the capital, General Song Yi will immediately withdraw from the Zhao Kingdom."

"My king's reinforcements have rushed to the south of Zhao State, and they will arrive in Anyang in a short time. As the envoy said, Zhao Jun will naturally be able to send General Song away."

"The villain is waiting for Zhao Wang's good news." The envoy of King Jin left after speaking, without staying for a moment.

Zhao Wang sat in the same place, his expression changed, Bei Zhengqing came out from behind the screen, and said to him, "My lord, King Jin's inquiry to Nangong is sure to win, which means that the whole state of Jin has been greedy and locked up for a long time, and this matter will never allow him to fulfill his wish."

"But, Anyang..."

"Prince" Bei Zhengqing bowed, "Jin won Liang'an, Zhao has no place to move. The current stalemate seems unsolvable, but in fact, as long as the imperial court is united and Zhao Zhiping's troops are defeated, Jin will definitely retreat."

"why!"

"Because King Jin doesn't want to go to war, otherwise why send envoys to the capital to ask the prince to save Nangong Xun?"

The Jin State's New Deal had just been affected, and the Xu family and others were still harboring evil intentions, and the family was unstable. The King of Jin never wanted to start a war at this time, otherwise Wang Meng's northern army could attack directly, and Zhao Zhiping didn't have to approach Yiyang without moving.

"Okay," Zhao Wang gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it either. Jin Wang dared to fight with His Majesty and at the same time attacked Anyang."

Fenchang City

The sentinels rushed into the city and went straight to the Xingyuan of the King of Jin, "My lord, Zhao Shangshu urgently reports"

"read"

"The Zhao army went straight to Yiyang, and seemed to join the Yiyang garrison to attack our army. Zhao Shangshu asked whether to withdraw the army."

"Retire the army?" Qin Yu put down his pen, looked at him and said, "Tell Zhao Shangshu that there is no need to retreat the army, as usual, Zhao Jun will retreat."

"Yes"

In the military camp, Zhao Zhiping did not question after receiving King Jin's will. He believed that King Jin had a reason for King Jin, but he didn't understand why.

Even if King Zhao was confused, Bei Zhengqing was not, how could he fail to see through this simple situation.

"Your Excellency" the deputy general came in and said, "Fenchang sent good news, General Song Yi broke Caiyi"

Cai Yi is next to Anyang, which can be said to be the acropolis of Anyang in Zhao State. If Cai Yi is destroyed, Anyang will be in danger.

He remembered that the king of Jin told him before the expedition that the king of Zhao was young!

Capital

Just as King Zhao was about to rest, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart the moment he heard it.

"My lord, Cai Yi has been broken"

King Zhao's face twitched, but he calmed down. He sat down slowly, looked at the summoned soldiers and asked, "When?"

"Yesterday"

"Yes." King Zhao nodded, "Come on, please invite the envoy of King Jin to come."

King Jin's envoy came and left very fast, when Bei Zhengqing found out, everything was settled, he didn't understand why King Zhao suddenly backtracked.

"My lord, the event has been accomplished, why..."

"Zhengqing," King Zhao interrupted with a smile, "This king has already discussed this matter with the envoy of King Jin, so you can rest!"

"My lord agreed to King Jin's request?" Bei Zhengqing was still puzzled.

"yes"

"My lord..." Bei Zhengqing still wanted to speak.

"Sir!" King Zhao interrupted him, and said flatly, "Caiyi is occupied, and Anyang is at stake. How can I just sit and watch King Zhao's city fall? Don't persuade me any more about this matter."

Bei Zhengqing was stunned, Zhao Wang had already left first, he left the study, the courtyard was pitch black, he looked ahead for a while, then suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

King Jin's strategy was very shallow, far less sophisticated than last time, but this shallow and easy-to-see strategy won, because King Jin was more predictable than him, and he had misunderstood Zhao Wang's importance to Anyang, and misjudged the importance of Anyang. The courage of King Zhao.

"This person is too scary, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the common people"

Ask yourself, King Zhao is not as good as King Jin, but in a re-election, Bei Zhengqing will still reject King Jin, because King Jin's thoughts are too meticulous and unpredictable, so people will become more and more assertive, because King Jin is smarter, so he is more self-reliant. high.

It is difficult to judge whether a talented and generous person ascends to the position of emperor, whether it is a blessing or a disaster.

Thirty miles away from Fenchang City, Zhao Zhiping had already returned. Now that the Zhao army had retreated, the Yiyang garrison did not dare to act rashly, so he did not have to stay there.

"My lord, the carriage is here," Zhao Zhiping reminded.

Qin Yu stood aside, looked at the slowly approaching carriage, and said with a long breath, "This Nangong Xun is really hard to hire!"

"Thanks to the prince for strategizing"

"Sir, it's rare for you to compliment me." Qin Yu looked at him amusedly, "Are you going to be a courtier too?"

"No, I admire the lord." Zhao Zhiping looked at King Jin as a matter of course and said, "King Zhao is small, and the court is weak. In the eyes of this minister, there is only King Wu in this world, and he is still worthy to be the opponent of the lord."

Hahaha... King Jin laughed for a while, but suddenly stopped smiling. Zhao Zhiping saw something strange on his face.

"It's not Zhao Wang's fault that Zhao's equipment is small, and it's not His Majesty's fault that the court is weak"

King Zhao came from a humble background and was never valued by the late emperor. The reason for the weakness of the court was that the late emperor granted the princes. All things in the world have their causes and effects. Today's King Jin was born!
