Chapter 676: Fish Talisman
"If you have the guts to die, I will obey you!"
Cao's contempt for her husband was undoubtedly revealed, and she sneered:
"Do you think you can save your life if you return to the capital? If the emperor and the prime minister know that you escaped from the battle, which one can spare you?"
Cao's cynicism Song Wende has been suffering for many years, and it is nothing anymore, but when Cao said this at this time, it was like a slap in the face, and his head was "buzzing", and he was stunned!
That's right, when he went back, how could he say that he ran back to the capital when the Qin army attacked Hongnong County?
I heard that the eldest brother is now gradually able to speak, if you know that he fled without a fight, and still ordered someone to skin him alive?
And the brutal emperor - maybe he is the sinner of the Song family through the ages!
Song Wende's paralyzed body suddenly jumped up as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and poked his head out of the carriage and shouted to the master who came back with him:
"Quick, think about it, what will we say when we go back!"
And two days later, in the court, Fang Handong and Zhao Shizhen, the sworn enemies, quarreled so much that they couldn't wait to eat each other!
Zhao Shizhen, the secretary of the military department, immediately reported the report of the loss of Hongnong County and asked for reinforcements, and asked the emperor to mobilize soldiers and horses from Yongzhou and Jizhou to rush to Yuzhou to help.
"Your Majesty, Hongnong County has been lost, and Yuzhou may be captured by the Qin army at any time, if there are no reinforcements, it will be a matter of time before it is lost!
Fang Handong will never agree:
"The emperor must not! The armies of Jizhou and Yongzhou are going to defend the Beijing Division, if all of them are transferred to reinforce Yuzhou, then won't the capital be completely defenseless?"
After speaking, he deliberately snorted coldly at Zhao Shizhen:
"Isn't Hangu Pass famous for natural dangers, how can it be so easy to be attacked by people in your mouth?
"Fang Handong, you rat who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
As soon as Zhao Shizhen heard it, he knew that Fang Handong must be afraid of death, so angry that he was about to rush up and beat him again:
If Yuzhou is lost at that time, how can Jizhou and Yongzhou be saved? You don't know where the army of Yuzhou went? At this time, you still have selfish motives, and you are not worthy of being a human being!"
Although Hangu Pass has the name of 'natural danger', the king of Jin has no combat experience, and there are only more than 10,000 horses in Yuzhou now, not counting the loss of this battle, Bai Bingxiong's rebellion took away half of the troops in Yuzhou, where is there any army in Yuzhou?
As for Hedong, it is even more necessary to ask the emperor!
Because Hedong is the fief of the King of Jin, the emperor is so jealous of the King of Jin, and his armaments are very weak, and all military incidents rely on Yuzhou, and it would be good for the King of Jin to make up people now!
Fang Handong saw that Zhao Shizhen wanted to beat him again, and after thinking about it, he couldn't beat him, so he hurriedly hid, and raised his eyes just to see the old god of Weibei Hou standing on the ground, and immediately transferred the battle:
"Where did the army of Yuzhou go, I have to ask the Marquis of Weibei!"
"The army of Yuzhou, in the matter of the invasion of the Hu people, has been transferred to reinforce the northwest, Lord Fang is now coming to ask me, is it because I am easy to bully in the Hou Mansion of Weibei?"
Weibei Hou Hu was stunned, and immediately changed from a lazy state to a fierce spirit, Fang Handong's heart was cold, and the next words were swallowed into his stomach.
But the courtiers all knew what Fang Handong didn't say, who didn't know that the daughter of the traitor Bai Bingxiong was the righteous daughter of the Weibei Hou Mansion!
Even the emperor glanced at Weibei Hou a few more times because of Fang Handong's words, and his eyes were full of gloom.
He knows Wei Beihou's temperament now, and it is not time for the fish to die and the net to break.
The Emperor was silent for a moment, and then made a partial compromise with each of the two courtiers who now seemed to be most loyal to him:
"Yuzhou must be defended, and the capital cannot be taken lightly. Can Yongchang Bolinham be available?"
A middle-aged man standing not far behind Wei Beihou immediately came out and knelt down:
"The minister is here!"
"I order you to rush to Jizhou on the same day and bring 10,000 horses to aid Yuzhou!"
The emperor's voice fell for a long time, and Yongchang Bolinhan kowtowed in a trembling voice to thank him:
"Chen Lin Han obeys the emperor's will!"
Wei Beihou glanced at the excited Yongchang Bolinhan and sighed imperceptibly.
Yongchang Bofu has been idle in the corner of the court since the time of the first emperor, and Weibei Hou Mansion has always been the same breath, Yongchang Boshi Lin Dian and son Xu Chenglin are also friends for many years.
But from today on, once Yongchangbo tastes the power in his hands, he will definitely stand on the emperor's side, and the relationship between Yongchangbo's Mansion and Weibeihou's Mansion will never return to the past.
After retiring from the dynasty, when Lin Han went out of the palace, he did not walk with Weibei Hou as before, but greeted those who came forward to congratulate him with a red face.
"Uncle Lin will definitely succeed in this trip, exterminate the traitors, and the Yongchang Mansion will be prosperous again!"
Yongchangbo didn't dare to be too high-profile, hiding his joy and trying his best to be humble:
"Where and where, what is prosperous or not, the main thing is to be loyal to the emperor, I have no regrets in my life!"
Although in terms of the current situation, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to go to Yuzhou for reinforcements, and it is even a matter of whether I can come back alive, but for the declining nobles, it is a good thing to be able to regain military power.
Wei Beihou did not go over to mix, but on the way back to the house, Yongchangbo's horse slipped over quietly.
"Master Hou stays!"
Yongchangbo caught up with Weibei Hou, and his face was apprehensive and humble, which was completely different from Fang Cai:
"Don't worry, no matter where my brother and I go in the future, I will still take Hou Ye's head as the leader! The errand given by the emperor came suddenly, and I really can't live up to the grace of God!"
"They are all working for the emperor, Uncle Lin's words make Ben Hou dare not bear it! I think back then, Uncle Lin was also a person who had been on the battlefield, and if he wanted to come and go to Yuzhou, he could also bear the emperor's trust, so Ben Hou first wished Uncle Lin a victory!"
Wei Beihou didn't seem to care.
"Yes, Master Hou can understand my brother, and I feel relieved!"
Yongchangbo's magnanimous attitude towards Weibei Hou seems to be grateful to Dade.
The Hou Mansion of Weibei also had no intention of distinguishing his sincerity and falsehood, and exchanged a few words with him in a humble and aggrieved manner, and then went back to their homes separately.
In fact, no matter when Yongchang Bofu took refuge in the emperor, what plans he has in the future, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that as long as he is there, he will never let people go to Yuzhou to block his daughter and son-in-law again!
The emperor returned to the harem, and Wei Wanzheng was at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace.
"It's sunbathing right now, why don't you go in and wait?"
The Emperor asked with concern.
Wei Wan saluted in a proper manner, and then smiled:
"It's the concubine who wants to see the emperor earlier, so she doesn't care about whether she is exposed to the sun or not...... Is there anyone in the early court today who has made the emperor angry? Why did the concubines look at the emperor and was not in a good mood?"
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he hugged Wei Wan into the door of the Zhaoyang Palace:
"I know what you're worried about, but you just have to rest assured, with you, I won't be able to do anything about the Weibei Hou Mansion. ”
"Then the concubine will thank the emperor!"
Wei Wan didn't deny it, but then asked the emperor with concern whether he was thirsty and hungry.
The two walked in in harmony, and if they looked at it from behind, it was also a model of the emperor's deep affection.
Liu Defu squinted his eyes and stood outside the door, feeling sad for a while.
If this is really Empress Xiaoyuan, how good it would be.
But the emperor is doing this very well now, but it is much better than being depressed every day a while ago.
It wasn't until late afternoon, when Wei Wan was taking a nap, that the emperor got up and went to the imperial study and summoned Zhai Feng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to come over.
"The half of the fish talisman, still haven't you found it?"
"No, the humble official has already taken people to investigate around the Weibei Hou Mansion, but he didn't find the half of the fish talisman, why didn't the emperor directly order the half of the fish talisman to be taken back for the Weibei Marquis?"
Zhai Feng honestly suggested.
The emperor was instantly furious:
"If I want to take it back, will he give it? When the time comes, will it be known to the whole world that I can't be trusted by my ancestors, and I can't even move my own army?!"
Zhai Feng was immediately silent, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
The emperor looked at the half of the tiger talisman placed on the desk, and was so angry that he slammed it on the table, until the back of his hand was broken:
"Look for it again!"
After Zhai Feng left, the emperor slumped in his chair, and the frustration in his heart was beyond measure.
How ridiculous, the subjects rebel, even the ancestors, have to give him a problem at this time!
In all dynasties, there are tiger talismans for troop transfers, and the king and the local government hold half of each, and when they need to transfer troops, as long as the emperor's envoys hold tiger talismans, they can transfer troops on the right.
But they are in the Great Qi Dynasty, in addition to the Tiger Talisman, there is also the Fish Talisman!
At that time, Emperor Taizu favored Queen Dugu alone, and even the military power was willing to share the system with the queen, so the fish charm was Queen Dugu's order.
Later, after the death of Empress Dugu, Taizu divided the fish talisman she left behind into two halves, half of which was left to the commander of Jingwei, and the other half, in accordance with Empress Dugu's will, was left to her trusted family, but which one was left to, even the successor emperor did not know.
Because since the opening of the Taizu Dynasty, no matter how turbulent the throne is, how the soldiers and horses in various places are mobilized, the capital has never encountered a threat, so the Jingwei only changed the guard, and there has been no large-scale transfer.
Taizu valued his courtiers, but how could the later emperor trust the family?
This half of the fish charm has become a heart disease of successive emperors.
Before the first emperor died, he also mentioned the half of the fish talisman, and once told him that if he had to do so, he could create the illusion of turmoil, after all, Taizu said that if the capital was unstable, the half of the fish talisman would appear.
It's just that the world has been peaceful in his previous life, and it is difficult to create opportunities without traces, and the relationship between him and Cheng Huan is even more miserable, and he has no time to find the half of the fish talisman.
And in this life, after he came back, he was already approaching the wedding, and he was only bent on changing his body for Cheng Huan, but he forgot about this big event!
It wasn't until after King Qin reversed that Zhai Feng went to check the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the three major battalions of the capital with the tiger talisman representing the emperor, only to find that even if the tiger talisman of the three battalions of the Jingwei was on the right side, only half of the soldiers and horses could be mobilized!
Now commanding the three major battalions is the mighty general Zhang Junguang of this generation, who has half of the fish talisman in his hand, but there is no half of the fish talisman, and those generals in the Jingwei don't recognize it at all!
The fish talisman in Zhang Junguang's hand is ancestral, but he, the emperor, does not have the half of the fish talisman in his hand - this matter is already extremely annoying just thinking about it!
And what makes the emperor even more troublesome is that once the capital is unstable, will the family that holds half of the fish talisman still be as loyal as when Taizu was there?
In the world for a hundred years, who can guarantee that the family with the fish talisman will still be as loyal as their ancestors and will not take advantage of the chaos to rebel?
The emperor thought about it and counted the major families at the time of the founding of the country one by one, but only the suspicion of Weibei Houfu was the greatest.
And the loyalty of Weibei Houfu has long been unbelievable.
But if it was urgent, he had no doubt that Wei Beihou would immediately collude with the Qin army and rebel!
So he endured it again and again, and when the fish talisman arrived, it was the death date of Wei Beihou!
Wei Beihou looked at the study that had been turned over, smiled disdainfully, and went to find Mrs. Wei Beihou.
"Someone has been here again today?"
"I've been here. Mrs. Wei Beihou was very angry, "It's really in vain to be the king of a country, and I can't do anything above board, but I'm good at stealing chickens and dogs!"
"Madame, don't be angry, let them turn the world upside down, it is impossible to find it. Anyway, our Xu family is not a rebellion, and we are not afraid of being sorry for Taizu. ”
Things have been left in the Xu family for hundreds of years, so naturally it is impossible to be found so easily.
Mrs. Wei Beihou thought about it, and she couldn't help but worry:
"In the past, Cheng Huan treated the king of Jin with all his heart, but now the war is still life and death, it can be seen that the people of the Xiao family are ruthless and unrighteous by nature! I don't know how long it will take for Cheng Huan to come to see us. ”
Wei Beihou is very open-minded about this matter:
"There's no way around this, the overall situation, their little bit of past is like dust, it's nothing. Although Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is more than one road to the capital in the world, as long as we block the reinforcements on our side, with the ability of the King of Jin, it will not last long. ”
While the couple was talking, someone came to report that Dong Zheng was coming.
It turned out that Dong Zheng found Song Wende and his wife Cao at the city gate.
"Cheng Huan said that Song Wende escaped, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid that he fled back to the capital!"
Mrs. Wei Beihou felt incredible: "It's just that he has a poor character, is there no brain?"
Wei Beihou didn't think so, and after a moment of silence, he instructed Dong Zheng:
"Don't alarm him yet, just don't see it, this person is still very useful!"
Song Wende escaped back, it is impossible to hide this matter at all, so Song Wende dared to come back, he must have thought of a way to save his life.
Wei Beihou instinctively felt that this was an opportunity.
Song Mansion, Song Wenru has gradually been able to say a complete sentence.
Since he fell ill, his son Song Changqing has been serving him by his side and taking care of him very carefully, and Song Wenru has recovered very well.
It's just that of the ups and downs outside, Song Changqing still blocked all his father from the house.
So Song Wenru just drank the medicine, and when he heard that his brother came back suddenly, he was immediately full of puzzlement.
After seeing the haggard Song Wende, he was even more surprised:
"It's not time to debrief, why did you come back?"
Song Wende glanced at Song Changqing, who was standing on the side with sharp eyes, and turned around when he reached his mouth:
“…… Isn't this worrying about big brother, just come back and see ......" mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
