Since Emperor Muzong was subject to natural disasters and man-made disasters, he fell short when he was ambitious to destroy Ruru, and then Emperor Xiaozong was in the end, in addition to the controversy of the prince, the most important thing to do was to recuperate, accumulate strength, and work hard to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the north.

Originally, according to the considerations of Emperor Xiaozong and several important ministers headed by Huan Guanlan, this great cause of succeeding the ancestor Yu Lie was to be completed in the hands of Emperor Xuanjing.

However, Emperor Xuanjing was not angry, and within a few days of coming to power, he indulged in wine and lingered in the harem.

This move not only disappointed the years of hard work of Huan Guanlan, General Zhou Da and others, but also gave Ruru the opportunity to develop and grow.

Last year, Ru Ru committed a border and went down several cities, many people speculated that it was because of the cooperation of the traitor, after all, General Zhou spent ten years of hard work to build the defense line, even if the descendants inherited it incompletely, it is impossible to be so vulnerable.

However, for a variety of reasons...... To put it simply, what the court bigwigs are most concerned about at this time is not Ruru, not Northern Xinjiang, or border defense, but who will choose the new monarch after Emperor Xuanjing goes.

Therefore, such a big matter is only circulated in the middle of private discussions, and even in public occasions, no one officially mentions it at all: the left and right do not catch the handle of the other party, and it is just a plain effort to mention it, it is better to save time and invest all your energy on intrigue.

This situation is already outrageous, but there is something even more outrageous, that is, Ruru made a detour to the western Xinjiang and did this one with Rong Sleeping Crane, which even lost the capital of Western Xinjiang, Yizhou City, even if the emperor Xiaozong, who is not very sage, is in power, it is enough to shake the court.

The result?

The West Xinjiang is dead and alive, full of devastation and ruins...... Chang'an is still talking about two or three things that Gaomi Mansion has to say!

Afterwards, Rong Sleeping Crane's narrative and please take credit for the excerpt are also the same as if they were never handed over, and there is no news from Shi into the sea!

And the deliberate negligence of the upper echelons also brought an illusion to those Li Shu who had not faced Ruru directly, that is, Ruru was actually not so terrible, even if it was terrible, he was beaten back to the grassland by Rong Sleeping Crane left and right, and this matter already belongs to the past.

But Xu Zijing, a person who killed the commander of Northern Xinjiang step by step from the bottom, deeply understood how harmful the neighbor on the grassland was!

Don't say anything else, let's just say how famous General Zhou is, if Ru Ru is really so good-natured, he will spend ten years preparing for war before he thinks about attacking?

"The previous Ruru invaded the northern frontier first, and then entered the western frontier, Mi Zhen was almost exhausted, or took advantage of all kinds of advantages that were calculated or unintentional, so that Sai Li's army was defeated!" At this moment, Ning Weihou's mind turned slightly, and his face was pale, "In fact, Sai Li may not have had the hope of cleaning up the remnants and fighting with Mi Zhen again, in the final analysis, it was because of the interrogation of the Fu Zhen faction that he had to return to the king's tent to ask for guilt!"

"After that, he had an affair with Dengchen Liyu's favorite concubine, and eighty percent also had an inside story!"

"That is to say, what prevents Ruru from offending my Damu again now is that Ruru Khan Dengchen Liyu was not in the right position back then, and he has never cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and he is on the same page with his brother Na Fuzhen!"

"The two brothers restrained each other, so they couldn't spare their hands to target Da Mu. ”

"Even if they barely reach an agreement, there is a great opportunity to sow discord between them!"

"Once Dengchen Liyu dies, his knees are said to have mediocre qualifications, and most of them will not be Nafuzhen's opponents...... In this way, after Fu Zhen killed his nephew and ascended the throne and became the new khan of Ruru......"

Xu Zijing stopped wandering around the room, his face sank like water, "the consequences are unimaginable!!"

It's not that he thinks Da Mu can't beat Ru Ru, in fact, due to the smooth weather since Emperor Xiaozong, Da Mu's current comprehensive national strength is definitely above Ru Ru.

The problem is that Da Mu can't use his strength at this time!

There are Meng Boqin and Zhao Shi in the north, and Rong Sleeping Crane in the west, and Chang'an is even more chaotic...... This situation is too busy to take care of itself, where will you get the energy to deal with foreign enemies?!

"Mizhen is a fine person, and when she let Na Fuzhen return to the grassland, it was for long-term consideration. He thought for a moment and asked Gongsun Xi, "Even if he makes any promises to Na Fuzhen, in this situation, he will definitely try his best to maintain the situation of Na Fuzhen and Dengchen Liyu containing each other, and will definitely not let either side have the upper hand...... How could he be assassinated? I'm afraid there must be a reason!"

Gongsun Xi frowned and said, "The news that the Wuyi camp has just arrived is only the assassination of Dengchen Liyu, and time is running out. ”

This means that even if there is an inside story, the Wuyi Battalion is unknown for the time being?

Xu Zijing circled around the room, stood still, and said: "If this matter is just an intrigue between Ru Ru, no matter who the real culprit is, there is still the possibility of mediation!

Gongsun Xi's heart jumped, and he said, "Master Hou, what do you mean?"

"Meng or Gaomi King!" Xu Zijing said categorically, "Although that Fu Zhen is over half a hundred years old, but because of the naivety of his youth, he fell into the trap of Dengchen Liyu, not only lost his sweat position, but also suffered one after another from falling out of favor with the old Khan King, the suspicious cause of death of his biological mother, and giving up for a foreign family. ”

"As for the public, Mi Zhen is a child of the Rong family, and in the case of having no children under her knees, her identity is already delicate. ”

"In terms of selfishness, whether it is Mizhen's act of capturing Na Fuzhen before, or the grudge between Old Lady Sheng and Na Fuzhen...... After Fu Zhen grasped the power of Ruru, he focused on Da Mu, and his interest in Western Xinjiang should be greater than that of Northern Xinjiang!"

"King Gaomi and the Meng clan have a reason to make a move against Mizhen...... I just don't know who did it?!"

Gongsun Xi groaned: "Master Hou, I don't know much about military affairs, but to say something about the axe: if Dengchen Liyu is assassinated, someone will help Na Fuzhen become the new khan as a condition, in exchange for Na Fuzhen to attack the western frontier after he comes to power, then it should be the most suspicious for the Meng family? Because if it was done by King Gaomi, the king of the county was stumped by Na Fuzhen, and Meng Boqin happened to wave Chang'an to calculate last night's blood debt with him...... How is he going to resist?!"

Xu Zijing said: "That's right, but Dengchen Liyu is the Ruru Khan! Or is there the Khan of Na Fuzhen, the younger brother who is eyeing him, do you think he will neglect his own safety?"

"If he is so good at assassination, then Fu Zhen can still let him live until now?!"

"Although the Meng clan has risen rapidly, its background is not as good as that of King Gaomi, and it is impossible to prevent it from having the legacy of the first emperor. ”

He also said, "And after Fu Zhen takes power, he will give priority to attacking the western frontier, which is just my guess." If he is dealing with the northern frontier...... Combined with King Gaomi's actions last night, it was a stroke of God!"

Last night, King Gaomi almost uprooted the Meng clan's power in Chang'an, and the slightly more similar clansmen who escaped by luck were probably Meng Boqin's family and Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan's brothers.

Compared with Meng Boqin, who is the commander of Northern Xinjiang, Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan are not very well known today.

At this time, including Xu Zijing and Gongsun Xi, they all thought that as long as Meng Boqin was killed, the Meng clan would be completely finished.

If at this time, Na Fuzhen is in power, follows the attack on the northern frontier, and drags Meng Boqin, then it can be said that no one can save the Meng family.

Now there are only three factions in the country that have the ability to compete, or control the throne, the time-honored Gaomi King and the Meng family, and the newly rising Rong Sleeping Crane.

The problem is that Rong Sleeping Crane's power has not been rooted for a long time, and it is still very immature, and it has not grown up for three or five years, so it is not easy to come east to Chang'an.

If the Meng clan was completely destroyed, in this time gap, King Gaomi would have been able to ascend the throne and practice Zuo, consolidate the throne, and gather the armies of all parties by the way!

At that time, if Rong Sleeping Crane wanted to plan for the throne again, he could only rebel as a "rebel".

Gongsun Xi felt that the matter was serious, and he was silent for a while, and said, "Then what does Master Hou think we should do now?"

“…… This time King Gaomi's brazen forcing of the palace, wasn't it mainly presided over by Eunuch Ge in the palace?" Xu Zijing frowned, he was very talented in fighting, otherwise he would not have become the successor of General Zhou, but his ability to intrigue is very ordinary, and the situation at this time is so grim, he can't think of any good way.

After pondering for a while, he proposed, "Why don't you go to his other courtyard to deliver a message, talk about this, and see what he means?

Gongsun Xi said: "It's too slow to go to the other courtyard to deliver the message, I'd better go directly to the palace to find him! He usually doesn't go out of the palace very much, what if he delays Chenguang?"

"No!" Xu Zijing reminded, "King Gaomi just failed to force the palace last night, and the whole city has been blocked at this time! Even if there are only a few women in the imperial city, the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and other dignitaries are all in Shanglin Yuan, but in the end, it is a royal land, and there is still the biological mother of King Gaomi, Concubine Mo, I am afraid that the forbidden army inside and outside is also tight. There is no Meng Guiyu to cover you at this time...... How are you going to get in? If you miss and are discovered, King Gaomi will know your relationship with Mi Zhen and will definitely not let you go! Won't you be sent to the door to be a hostage when the time comes?"

“…… Then I'll go to Eunuch Ge first to deliver a message in the courtyard outside the palace. Gongsun Xi pondered for a while and said, "I will go to the vicinity of the imperial city in the evening, and if you have the opportunity, you can go in and talk to Eunuch Ge directly." If the guards are too secretive, forget it!"

He is still a little sure of his position in Rong Sleeping Crane's mind, but he doesn't want to fall into the hands of others and drag Rong Sleeping Crane's hind legs.

…… Chang'an is far away from the grassland, and when Xu Zijing and Gongsun Xicai heard the news of Dengchen Liyu's assassination and time was running out, they were in the west of Xinjiang and assassinated Shifu.

Rong Sleeping Crane and Le Yangwen and other subordinates have discussed this issue several times.
