History of Yongwu

King Jin's Mansion

"My lord, General Wang is back," Xiao Fuzi replied outside the door.

Qin Yu and Zhao Zhiping looked up at the same time, Wang Meng came in from the door, wrapped in a cloak, with snowflakes on his shoulders.

"See Your Majesty"

Seeing his dusty appearance, Qin Yu pointed to the stool next to him and motioned him to sit down, "I came back pretty quickly, how about patrolling? Is there anything wrong?"

"The northern border army is still doing nothing like that. The prince asked Fan Xiangguo to contact other Hu tribes. During this period, the northern border army cooperated with the Huyan tribe to wipe out a small tribe. The site is close to Dayong. Fan Xiangguo bought it with a lot of money. The local government is planning to keep the military horses purchased by the prince here," Wang Meng answered while sitting on the big chair opposite.

"Well, we contacted other tribes, what's the attitude of the Huyan tribe?" Qin Yu continued to ask, he had been entangled with Kong Guopei for more than half a year, and the Hu people's affairs were neglected, but it was thanks to Fan Wentian.

"At first, the Huyan tribe was not very happy. Later, Fan Xiang promised them that Dayong's trade would be based on Huyan. The only thing is that Huyantai made some criticisms but was suppressed by King Huyan." Wang Meng took a sip of water and then seemed to remember something. He said, "Your Majesty, Fan Xiang said that you sent some money and food to Dongyang County before, which resulted in a lack of military expenditure. This year's tax burden has not been confiscated. Fan Xiang asked where do you want to make up for the military expenditure?"

"Let's make up for it with money from King Jin's private treasury."

Qin Yu ordered indifferently, and looked down at the watermark on the small coffee table. It seemed that he had been busy for too long. He was a little bit overwhelmed, and everything was still under control.

Stretching out his hand to wipe off the watermark, Qin Yu smiled and said to Wang Meng, "You have traveled all day, go down and rest."

"Yes" Wang Meng stood up and saluted

"It seems that I'm overthinking." Qin Yu looked at Zhao Zhiping again and said.

"My lord" Wang Meng walked to the door, turned back and said, "There is one more thing they don't let me tell you, I think I should let you know"

"What's the matter?" Qin Yu asked absently.

"The generals are going to play His Majesty, and hope to confer the title of Grand General"

"What!" Qin Yu suddenly raised his head and asked in shock, "When did it happen, why didn't you tell me earlier?" After all his calculations, he didn't realize that the danger was not in the capital.

"When?" Seeing King Jin's complexion changed, Wang Meng was terrified in his heart, and couldn't tell for a while, "It's been a long time, I went there not long ago, they... they asked me to keep it secret and said they wanted to surprise the prince, so I didn't explain"

Surprise, this king is really surprised now!

"Send people out of the city right away, and be sure to stop those who come to play." Qin Yu immediately ordered.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you are not in a hurry. The envoys came on the same day as me. I'm afraid they have all arrived in the capital now."

"Bastard..." Qin Yu was so annoyed by Wang Meng's surprises one after another, he kicked Wang Meng fiercely, "Why don't you go to the posthouse to stop people?"

"Yes" Wang Meng ran out in a panic.

"General Wang" Zhao Zhiping spoke suddenly, stopped him, looked at King Jin and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no hurry. If we set off with General Wang, the memorial may have already been delivered to His Majesty. Don't forget that Your Majesty is not here." Capital"

yes!His Majesty is in the Nanshan Palace, and he may have seen the memorial at this moment.

Qin Yu came back to his senses, and hurried out, Zhao Zhiping moved beside him, stood in front of him, and asked calmly, "My lord, are you going to the palace?"

"Of course, the king is going to tell the emperor..."

"Your Majesty" Zhao Zhiping interrupted King Jin and continued, "The memorial has already been handed in, you can't change things whether you go or not, and your Majesty has just received the memorial and you have passed, will Your Majesty believe that this matter has nothing to do with you?" ?”

Qin Yu subconsciously wanted to refute, but he swallowed the words again. If His Majesty really believed in him so much, why would he be so flustered? He rushed forward and said that he didn't know, would His Majesty believe it?I still feel that I am forcing His Majesty to express his opinion.

"Then in your opinion, what should we do now?" Qin Yu sat back and regained his composure.

"At present, His Majesty's attitude is not clear. In my humble opinion, it is better for the prince to wait and see what happens. Instead of messing around, we should first find out who thought of giving the prince such a 'big hat'."

Qin Yu glanced at Wang Meng, who was still standing there with a bewildered expression on his face, Qin Yu kicked him again, hating iron for being weak.

"Have you heard, who came up with this idea?"

"At first, it seemed that General Kong Shi, the guard of Yuyang, said it, but then everyone agreed," Wang Meng replied quickly.

"My lord, can you trust this General Kong?" Zhao Zhiping asked after catching a glimpse of King Jin.

"Kong Shi's family has lived in Yandi for generations. This king promoted him when he first arrived in Yandi. It would be strange for him to say that he was an undercover agent who stayed by my side." Qin Yu had just been named King Yan back then. Look good, who put so much effort in arranging an undercover agent by his side.

Zhao Zhiping nodded, thought for a while and asked, "General Wang said they won't let you tell the lord, who is the first to say no?"

"Xuancheng reward dinner, the generals remembered this matter, and told the general, the general thought it was a good thing, and was about to report the divorce to the prince, but General Xue suddenly said, it is better to hide it from you first, and wait until the matter is settled." Let me tell you, let the prince be happy, a few young generals agreed, and everyone agreed."

Zhao Zhiping probably understood that it is also possible for subordinates to invite favors and fight for merit without telling their superiors, but this matter is not trivial, and it should not be so.

"My lord, there must be something wrong with General Xue. This matter is no small matter. My lord must investigate thoroughly."

Qin Yu nodded with a gloomy expression. Zhao Zhiping could see that he naturally understood, but he didn't expect the incident to happen in his base camp. It seems that the smooth sailing of the past six months has made him relax.

"This king will find someone to give Fan Wentian a secret divorce letter, and ask him to secretly investigate who did it."

"The last general will arrange it now," Wang Meng quickly agreed and was about to leave.

"and many more"

"Prince" Wang Meng failed to escape, so he looked at King Jin cautiously and asked, "What else can I order?"

"For so many years, you don't grow your brains just by eating. You go to the stables to feed the horses until the king is satisfied." Qin Yu looked at Wang Meng and said unkindly.

"Yes" Wang Meng agreed without any hesitation, as long as he can get him out of here now, let alone feeding the horses or sweeping the manure.

After Wang Meng went out, Qin Yu leaned back a little tired, sighed and said, "It's okay over there, what should I do here, Brother Huang?"

"Your Majesty, you should have to dismiss it silently. The border guards have jointly signed the form. Your Majesty can't just reject it without saying anything. Your Majesty may ask the prince and some important court officials what they mean."

"This king will not accept the position of general." Qin Yu looked at the already dark sky outside the window, "This king will make it clear to His Majesty."

"..."

Zhao Zhiping opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but King Jin looked tired and didn't want to say more, so he could only salute and leave.

In the room, Qin Yu was lying on the long couch alone, looking out of the window motionless, until the middle of the moon before he felt a chill hit him, and his whole body was icy cold.

Nanshan Palace

Emperor Xuan held the memorial tightly, his brows were frowned, and his face was gloomy. Wang Qianhe stood by and saw him silent for a long time, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you still think that King Jin doesn't want anything?"

Emperor Xuan seemed startled by his voice, turned his head to look at him for a while, and said slowly, "Perhaps the sixth brother didn't know about this matter, didn't the messenger say that they did it without telling the sixth brother?"

Wang Qianhe did not accept this excuse, and said coldly, "Is the envoy's statement credible? Is it possible that it was ordered by the King of Jin? As soon as Wang Meng was sent to the Northland to patrol the border, the Northland asked for a seal of the King Jin. What a coincidence"

Emperor Xuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Wang Qianhe didn't give him a chance, and continued, "Even if King Jin really doesn't know, so what? The generals of the northern border clearly didn't have His Majesty in their eyes and only King Jin. A great general, if they decide to give King Jin the throne tomorrow, will His Majesty not plan to pursue it? If King Jin really doesn’t want anything, why didn’t he just let General Zhai patrol the border? Why did he send his confidant Wang Meng all the way away? go"

"Preaching the decree" Emperor Xuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and finally said, "Go back to the palace immediately!"

Yushifu

"I heard that the envoy has arrived at the palace, I want to congratulate Tang Yushi." Kong Guopei looked at the person opposite with a smile.

Sitting opposite him was Tang Jie, in a dark green gown, in his thirties, with short eyebrows, a slight beard, and an ordinary appearance. If he hadn't been fair-skinned, no one would have noticed him walking on the street.

Kong Guopei stared at him for a while, and suddenly realized that Wu Wang, the special envoy of the capital, was chosen just right. Tang Jie was also a censor.

"Congratulations to Master Kong too. The envoy's arrival at His Majesty means that His Majesty and King Jin are no longer a monolith. It will be convenient for Master Kong to do whatever he wants in the future." Tang Jie raised his head and smiled at him, with a simple and honest smile .

"Wu Wang is still thoughtful, and there is an eyeliner buried beside Jin Wang. I don't know what I want this old man to do next?"

"My lord, His Majesty may inquire in court. If so, I hope that your lord's people will agree with this award to King Jin."

Kong Guopei understood Tang Jie's intentions after a short pause, but then he frowned and asked, "What if His Majesty and King Jin find out that you and I did it and remain unmoved?"

Tang Jie showed his simple and honest smile again, and slowly said to Kong Guopei, "The military adviser said this is a dead move, even if they knew it, they would have to jump down."

Doubts and suspicions are hard to stop once they start. As long as they plant a seed, the ambition of the king and the desire of his subjects will naturally give birth to them to grow, and it will not end until he grows into a towering tree and swallows one of them.

King Jin's Mansion

Xiao Fuzi trotted all the way to Mr. Qiyun's courtyard. King Jin arrived there in the early morning, so he should have just fallen asleep.He was so anxious that he couldn't help speeding up his pace, which made him sweat all over in the winter.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw King Jin was closing his eyes, his head resting on Qi Yun's lap as if he was asleep. Qi Yun saw him coming in hurriedly, so he quickly gestured to him to signal him not to make a sound.

Little Fuzi was in a dilemma when King Jin suddenly asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, someone from the palace said that His Majesty summoned you for something," Xiao Fuzi quickly replied.

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, and returned to that gentle look. He couldn't see the anger and bewilderment from yesterday at all. He asked lazily, "When did Your Majesty come back?"

Sensing that King Jin was in a good mood, Xiao Fuzi relaxed, "I heard that he entered the city in the middle of the night yesterday, and His Majesty didn't let anyone know about it. Many people probably don't know about it now."

"Going to Beijing overnight..." Your Majesty really takes it seriously!

Qin Yu held Qiyun's hand in his palm and rubbed it repeatedly, and raised the corner of his mouth, showing a self-deprecating smile,

"I thought the lord was asleep." Seeing him laughing, Qi Yun thought he was looking at him, and lightly stroked King Jin's forehead, "Did Yun'er disturb you?" His voice was soft and unbearable. to blame.

"Where's the Queen Mother?" Qin Yu didn't seem to hear Qi Yun's words, he sat up and asked Xiao Fuzi, "Did you come back with His Majesty?"

"No." Xiao Fuzi said while helping him put on his shoes, "The Empress Dowager is still in the palace, and she just set off to return today."

"Um"

Seeing that King Jin's mind was no longer here, Qi Yun also got up and took the clothes and helped King Jin put them on.

Qin Yu half looked down at him buttoning himself, his gaze swept over his forehead and the tip of his nose, and fell on his eyes that were three points similar to Shaoyun's.

"Yun'er didn't disturb me, it's you who are so kind, I don't want to sleep." Qin Yu raised his head and said.

Qi Yun was slightly stunned, but then he realized that it was King Jin's casual coaxing words. Qi Yun didn't make a sound, but took a step back, and smiled at King Jin from the corner of his eyes.

King Jin's eyes froze for a moment, and then he kissed him on the forehead, and drifted away. This time, Qi Yun was really surprised for a while.

Showa-dono

Standing under the imperial steps, Qin Yu suddenly thought that he had deceived Qin Zheng in a serious manner in the Hall of Zhaohe back then. This world is really wonderful.

"My lord, be careful where you step," Eunuch Wang reminded kindly from the side.

Qin Yu climbed up the steps and arrived at the door in a short while. The old eunuch bowed slightly and said to him, "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the West Side Hall." Qin Yu nodded and walked towards the side hall.

"The sixth brother is doing well in Beijing these days." Emperor Xuan smiled heartily, making it hard to tell the truth from the fake.

"Thanks to Brother Huang, it's very good!" Qin Yu put his mind away, and said with that casual smile, "How is Brother Huang in the palace?"

Emperor Xuan didn't answer him, pulled him to sit down, smiled and said to him, "I have better news to tell you"

"Oh?" Qin Yu looked at Emperor Xuan and Xi's smiles, and said jokingly, "Brother Emperor, do you want to give me some beauties?"

"Better than a beauty, the generals of the Northern Territory Army will join forces to play, and I want you to be named a great general." Emperor Xuan slightly lowered his head to hide his gradually cooling expression.

"What?" Qin Yu stood up suddenly, and said in surprise, "When did it happen? Why didn't anyone tell my brother?"

"Sixth brother didn't know about the memorial sent yesterday?"

"Of course I don't know. If I knew, I would stop them from messing around."

Emperor Xuan looked at him with a smile, took a sip of tea and continued, "I think it's because they took credit for it without telling you, and it's not a big deal. If I'm sure, I can comfort the hearts of the soldiers."

"You mustn't." Qin Yu waved his hands and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the position of a general has always been in a country where there is war. How can a general come here in a peaceful and prosperous world? Besides, the general controls the world's troops and horses. How about your subordinates?" ... how to do it"

King Jin lowered his head halfway, and his tone was a little embarrassed, as if he was ashamed that he was not strict in discipline, and such a thing happened.

Emperor Xuan patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said like a gentle brother, "Sixth brother, you don't have to do this. Sixth brother helped me to raise troops. After all, I still have half of your throne. The position of general is nothing. If the soldiers and horses can really be controlled by you, I will be very relieved."

"No...it's not" Qin Yu refused incoherently, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, you'd better let your younger brother go! Qin Zheng usurped the rebellion, and the minister should be loyal. This is nothing, and the younger brother can't do it." General"

"Sixth brother, seriously? After passing this village, there will be no such shop," Emperor Xuan said in a teasing tone.

"Really" Qin Yu looked at Emperor Xuan and nodded firmly.

Emperor Xuan smiled, didn't mention it, poured him a cup of tea and said, "I heard that the sixth brother sent someone to patrol the border in the north, how is it?"

"Wang Meng? Brother Huang didn't mention my younger brother, I forgot." Qin Yu suddenly realized, and reacted for a while before saying, "It's been a while since I left, and I wrote earlier that I have returned. Why haven't I arrived yet? Could it be that something delayed me on the way?"

Hehe... Emperor Xuan looked at him with a smile and shook his head, "You!"

"Hey?" Qin Yu took a sip of tea, slapped his leg and said, "Since Wang Meng is in the Northland, why didn't he write a letter to report this matter? After thinking about it carefully, the generals in the Northland never made decisions without authorization, so why did they hide it this time?" "Chendi"

"Sixth brother thinks this matter is strange?"

"There must be something wrong." Qin Yu calmed down from the panic just now and said seriously, "I suspect that this matter may be done by King Wu or Kong Dang. They must be afraid that His Majesty and my ministers will eradicate Kong Dang and then deal with them. So sow dissension, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Emperor Xuan sneered and said, "They want to be beautiful, how can I be instigated by villains?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my brother will give you an order to ask Fan Xiang to investigate this matter carefully, and the truth will surely come to light." Qin Yu stood up as he spoke, and said apologetically, "This is because of my lax discipline."

Emperor Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "Sixth brother, don't blame yourself. You are not in the army this year, so you may have neglected one or two things."

Qin Yu frowned, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to comfort my younger brother, this matter is my younger brother's fault" and stood up to leave.

Emperor Xuan watched him leave, and as soon as King Jin's back disappeared, the smile on his face disappeared as if he had never appeared before.

"Did you hear?"

"King Jin is lying." Wang Qianhe walked out slowly from behind the screen in the corner.

"That's right." Emperor Xuan said with a gloomy face, "Wang Meng went to Beijing yesterday, and the sixth brother already knew about it, and he was furious and punished Wang Meng because of it."

Wang Qianhe didn't wonder why Emperor Xuan knew about this, and Emperor Xuan naturally had a way for Emperor Xuan.

"Your Majesty" Wang Qianhe looked at him and said slowly, "Although King Jin really did not participate in this matter, he may not be unhappy to see it succeed. Otherwise, why did he not go to the palace to defend himself yesterday, and why did he lie to His Majesty today? He wanted to test His Majesty, His Majesty returned to Beijing in the starry night, King Jin knew that His Majesty must be unhappy, that's why the scene just now happened."

Emperor Xuan looked out of the window without moving, why did you lie to me, sixth brother?If I didn't know in advance, I would really believe you.Sure enough, you are no longer what you used to be. I finally understand why Qin Zheng firmly believes that you will not rebel, because your lies are so delicate and true.
