History of Yongwu

In the dense forest, Qin Yu stood at the place where Ma Wu died and bowed his head in silence. He originally wanted to erect a monument to commemorate his righteous brother, but thought that Ma Wu's body was gone, and the empty coffin was meaningless, so let it go.

"When we arrive in Wu Kingdom, I'll help you take a look at the brat, don't worry."

There were footsteps behind him, Qin Yu turned around, An Ziqi stood behind him, saw him, hurriedly saluted "Prince"

"It's pretty fast." Qin Yu walked up to him, "How is it?"

"Wu's defenses in the southern borders are lax, and there are only a few defenders in Shanguan and Nanyingshui," An Ziqi replied.

"Moon?"

"The last general is ashamed, Mingyue's situation is unclear." An Ziqi apologized, and then said, "The last general of Chuanshan has sent people to investigate, but the mountain is steep and steep, and it is not suitable for marching." Up to now, An Ziqi has also vaguely guessed that King Jin thought out.

"Is Yu Yi credible?" Qin Yu asked after thinking about it.

"General Yu and Wu Jun have a great hatred for Qi Yu's death, so they will definitely not fall to Wu State"

Qin Yu nodded, stopped talking, and walked back with An Ziqi. Time was running out. Even if Zhao Zhiping held Wu Guo in Jiangbei, but he always didn't show up. Passed, now it's too late to investigate in detail.

"Prince" An Ziqi followed King Jin into the big tent and suddenly asked, "Are you going to cross the mountains and rivers and enter Wu from Nanying River?"

"That's right." Qin Yu asked with a smile, "You also think this king is too risky?"

"Ziqi never doubted the prince"

Qin Yu's face froze, and suddenly he felt a little guilty about his trust in Lord An, so he sat down with a smile and didn't make a sound.

An Ziqi looked at him and hesitated, "Your Majesty, I have a request at the end."

"Say"

"March across mountains and rivers, can you let the last general accompany you?"

This was also the intention, but after An Ziqi said it, Qin Yu hesitated again when he thought of all the things before.

Lowering his head halfway, he weighed it for a long time, then nodded and said, "I asked you to follow me, Mr. Zhao specially asked me to do this."

Mr. Zhao?An Ziqi was puzzled, King Jin twitched his eyebrows, and said with a little displeasure, "Mr. Zhao may feel that with the protection of Lord An, this king will not be in danger of life."

"Ziqi takes orders." An Ziqi saluted, feeling slightly happy.

"You can rest here today, bring Zhou Hong back tomorrow, let him take over from you to confuse Wu Jun, explain the matter to General Yu Yi, and then return immediately, ready to enter Chuanshan," Qin Yu instructed.

An Ziqi retreated, Qin Yu sat down, and the doubts in his heart came up again. If it was normal, he would have sent people away just by suspecting that Lord An was still stubborn.

It's just that now it's all-or-nothing, Zhou Hong is not as good as An Ziqi in understanding Yingzhou, and he is not as good at strategizing as An Ziqi. This is a dangerous and dangerous move, and it is safer to leave An Ziqi behind.

"Hurry up and end it! This king is really tired."

In the capital, the heavy snow was still falling. Nangong Yuliang had just returned from the Hall of Zhaohe. Although the Xiangfu had taken over half of the affairs, since he won back the power of administration from King Jin, he was much busier than before.

He finally understood how irritable King Jin was when he faced endless official documents, but the current scene made him feel funny and desolate.

In the Hall of Changxin, the prince greeted him, stood beside him and said in a low voice, "Queen Dowager, please wait for a secret letter."

"What?" Nangong Yuliang asked calmly.

Wang Gonggong approached and whispered in his ear, Nangong Yuliang listened carefully, there was a subtle change on his face.

"Did Wen Hou say anything else?"

"Hou Ye said that the King of Jin has no time to take care of it, and it is the queen mother's time."

The corners of Nangong Yuliang's eyes twitched, her thin lips raised slightly, with calculations hidden in her eyes, she turned to look at the heavy snow outside her, and said lightly, "That's true"

"What is the queen mother's order?" The prince bowed.

"Invite Prime Minister Xu and Grand Master Wang to enter the palace"

The snow had fallen all morning, forming a thick layer on the ground. The palace people were cleaning up vigorously. In front of the palace gate, Wang Qianhe got off the carriage. When he saw Xu Han, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Teacher" Xu Han stepped forward to salute.

Wang Qianhe nodded without saying "Let's go"

Xu Han followed him, and the two followed the eunuch leading the way side by side, and walked towards the palace. He checked the direction, but it was not the Zhaohe Hall, so this matter had nothing to do with ordinary government affairs. He suddenly felt a little nervous, and turned his head to look aside. old lady.

"Teacher, is this the Empress Dowager?"

"Just wait and see what happens"

Wang Qianhe said that he supports the young emperor, but he understands the conflict between the queen mother and the king of Jin, and he understands that the queen mother does not trust them.

But now in the imperial court, the queen mother, himself and Xu Han are bound together. Only the three of them can maintain the stability of the imperial court and fight against the future Jin Wang. He still doesn't trust that Wen Hou very much.

"See Queen Mother"

Nangong Yuliang sat there, looked at the two of them, raised his hand and said, "Pingshen, let the grand master and the prime minister sit down."

The two of them sat down with their heads down and didn't make a sound. The Queen Mother must have a purpose in calling them here, so there is no need to worry.

"The marriage between King Jin and Marquis Xiang, what does the grand master think?" Nangong Yuliang looked at Wang Qianhe.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, this is a usual move to win people's hearts"

"That's right." Nangong Yuliang nodded, and said to him, "This is indeed to win people's hearts, but it is not a usual move. King Jin's move has allowed the nobles of the family to find a new outlet, and people's hearts are floating. King Jin is doing it for him." come back and make plans”

Xu Han frowned and thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "The queen mother thinks that after King Jin returns, she might use this to endanger her majesty?"

"Prime Minister, it doesn't seem difficult to think about this matter." Nangong Yuliang turned his head, looked at him and said, "Isn't Your Majesty and King Jin only one?"

Both Wang Qianhe and Xu Han were silent. They understood this truth in their hearts, but neither of them said it out loud. Now that the queen mother said it directly, the two of them couldn't figure out the queen mother's intention.

"Queen Dowager" Wang Qianhe bowed her body, "Wu now has the upper hand. Although King Jin has many dissatisfied ministers, now is not the time for the court. Instead, it is time to unite and destroy Wu together."

"But what about after the destruction of Wu?"

"I have humble ministers to protect Your Majesty and the Queen Mother"

Hehe... Nangong Yuliang smiled coldly, glanced at the two of them and said, "The imperial city guards guard the palace, the northern camp is outside, and the southern camp has only a thousand people inside the city. The grand master and the prime minister..." He paused and continued Said, "If the King of Jin refuses to be a minister, His Majesty and I will die in a short while, so what's the point of protection?"

Xu Han's face was slightly stiff, and he looked up at the queen mother in front of him, sensing his implication, and asked, "How does the queen mother think that your majesty and you can feel at ease?"

"The Forbidden Army of the Imperial City belongs to His Majesty"

Wang Qianhe didn't make a sound, and pondered for a while with deep eyebrows, and said, "Queen Mother, it's not easy for Yue Hong to control the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City."

"Otherwise" Nangong Yuliang shook his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Yue clan took over the Imperial Army by virtue of prestige, and later the King of Jin threatened the Imperial Army by virtue of his power, making Yue Hong the general of the Imperial Army, but people's hearts do not necessarily depend on him. The king is not in the capital now, if we don't seize the power of the imperial army at this time, when will we wait?"

"What if King Jin returns?" Wang Qianhe asked.

"Teacher, I'm sure King Jin will not come back"

The two looked at him together, Nangong Yuliang looked indifferent, Xu Han thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to listen to the Queen Mother's order"

Wang Qianhe hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The humble minister leads the decree"

"Thank you, my lords." Nangong Yuliang stood up and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Overcast clouds hung over the capital city, covering the sun and making the supposedly bright sky dim.Yue Hong turned over in the barracks of the Forbidden Army in the imperial city, always feeling some noise in his ears, noisy.

Squeak... The door sounded, and Yue Hong turned over and sat up. Under the gloomy sky, he couldn't see the appearance of the person coming.

"Who?" He squinted his eyes and looked at the person, his voice was a little cold.

"The Empress Dowager ordered Yue Hong to leave Beijing to support the war in Jiangbei, and set off immediately."

"What did you say?"

Yue Hong's expression changed, and just as he was about to stand up, two soldiers behind the man stood up, grabbed his arm from left to right, and pressed his shoulder.

"General Yue please," the man turned sideways.

"I want to see the Queen Mother, and I want to write a performance for the King of Jin." Yue Hong struggled a bit, but the two people holding him were obviously very good at it, and he didn't even break free when he struggled.

"The Empress Dowager has no time to see you. As for King Jin, you will naturally be able to meet him at Jiangbei Camp."

Yue Hong was pulled, and when he passed sideways from the door, he saw the man's face clearly.

"Qi Yang!!"

Qi Yang was originally a corporal leader in the imperial city's forbidden army. After he took charge, he saw that this person was quite talented, and in order to quickly control the forbidden army, he gradually promoted him. Unexpectedly...

Yue Hong was taken out of the capital directly, without changing his clothes, and was thrown into the carriage.

Jiangbei Daying

"Lord Zhao, General Yue Hong is asking to see you"

"Yue Hong?" Zhao Zhiping's face changed slightly, feeling something bad in his heart, "Please come in."

"Lord Zhao" Yue Hong took the account, lowered his head and said, "The Empress Dowager joined forces with Qi Yang to make an army coup, and the last general... was expelled from the capital." He buried his head a little bit more, feeling a little ashamed.

Zhao Zhiping looked at him, Yue Hong didn't even wear armor, only a shirt and a cloak in February, it can be seen that things happened hastily and well-planned, Yue Hong didn't expect it at all, and was expelled from the capital without any resistance.

"General Yue has worked hard." Zhao Zhiping helped him up.

Yue Hong looked at him gratefully, and said, "Where is the prince? I want to meet the prince. Now that the queen mother has taken over the entire capital, it will be even more difficult to control in the future."

"General Yue" Zhao Zhiping hesitated for a long time before saying, "My lord is not in the Jiangbei camp."

"Not anymore? Where is that?"

"I'm sorry Zhao can't tell you this"

Wei Wei was a little surprised, Yue Hong understood without asking further questions, and said, "What about the matter in the capital?"

The person in front of him is the most trusted person under King Jin. If King Jin is not around, all affairs will be handled by Zhao Zhiping.

"There is no room for maneuver in this matter, the general can rest assured that Zhao will arrange the rest," Zhao Zhiping said.

"The Last General Takes Order"

The Empress Dowager seized the military power of the Forbidden Army in the imperial city. King Jin wrote several letters to accuse Qi Yang, but they were all suppressed by the prime minister. At the same time, Luo Ping, a fake King of Jin, was just recovering from a serious illness and went to the dock every day to supervise him.

There were rumors that the King Jin battleship was about to be completed, so he did not return to Beijing to deal with this matter.

Capital

Nangong Yuliang observed for a few days, and the king of Jin did not do anything other than those few memorials. He had read the memorials, and they were indeed issued in the name of the king of Jin, but they were not necessarily written by the king of Jin. Really no longer Jiangbei Daying.

"Come here" he smiled and summoned the prince to enter the palace.

"The Queen Mother"

"Please invite Grand Master Wang and Prime Minister Xu to the Hall of Zhaohe to discuss something important."

"Yes" Wang Gonggong took the order to retreat, and before going out, he glanced at Nangong Yuliang inadvertently.

The world is ruthless and can change anyone, and the young master Pianpian under the peach blossom tree has become so calm and calculating. Should he be happy for his growth, or should lament the indifference of the palace walls.

Showa-dono

Wang Qian and Xu Han were standing in the hall, they had just expelled Yue Hong, and now they are summoned again, this queen mother seems to be much shrewder than imagined.

"Prime Minister Xu, Grand Master Wang" Nangong Yuliang walked in from the side hall.

The "Queen Dowager" bowed together to salute.

"Please sit down, both of you." Nangong Yuliang sat at the top, watched the two of them sit down, and said without waiting for them to ask, "I have an idea, but I haven't told you two yet. I invite you to come here today. I also want to ask." What do you mean by the two ministers of the humerus?"

With a wave of his hand, Wang Gonggong delivered two official documents to the two of them. Wang Qianhe reached out to pick up one, and when he opened it, his face changed drastically. When he raised his eyebrows, Xu Han was also shocked.

"Now that the imperial court is weak, Jiaozhou was just lost last year, and the generals in the army are scattered, and it is not easy to supervise and manage, and they are becoming more and more slack. Therefore, I intend to rebuild the military system, so that the imperial court can control the subordinate troops everywhere, and revive the imperial military prestige. "

After Nangong Yuliang finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and looked at the two of them. Xu Han's expression changed, but in the end his expression settled down, as if he had made up his mind. Wang Qianhe did not change much.

"As far as I can see, the military system that the Empress Dowager said, the generals must be loyal men. I don't know if the Empress Dowager can choose someone."

Nangong Yuliang looked at him, smiled softly and said, "This will require the Grand Master and Prime Minister Xu to give up their minds. Now that King Jin's eyeliner is all over the court, it is difficult to distinguish loyalty from traitors, and the military is a major court issue. Don't take it lightly." "

"The humble minister takes orders"

"So the master agrees?"

Wang Qianhe knelt down and said, "The Empress Dowager ordered, I dare not refuse to accept the order"

"I would also like to obey the Queen Mother's order," Xu Han knelt down.

"Then I will trouble you both." Nangong Yuliang waved his hand, glanced at them, and turned to leave.

In the side hall, Nangong Yuliang looked at the back of Wang Qianhe and Xu Han leaving, and smiled with the corners of his lips raised.

Wang Qianhe was worried that he would hold the heavy army. When he heard that he would choose the general, he immediately agreed. Fortunately, he had already expected that he did not have a candidate for the general, and he let Wang Qianhe and others choose.

Elder brother already has some confidantes in secret, so he can slowly be included in the army and become a humerus in the army. When the time is right, he can naturally carry out another military coup.
