Chapter 1013: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
"What did my father tell you?"
Wu Zhengxiang replied respectfully and said, "When the time comes, His Highness will naturally know." ”
"Really?" Against him, the prince did not laugh angrily, and said: "What is it, even Lonely has to hide it?" The commander makes this a lonely? ”
"Please forgive Your Highness, the emperor's orders, the last general will not dare to disobey." Wu Zhengxiang said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Please wait patiently for Your Highness." After the matter is resolved, the emperor's secret decree will be presented. ”
Seeing his unmoved expression, the prince felt that his authority had been challenged. He was angry and longed to put him to death at once.
But at this moment, the army outside the city is pressing, and it is really not a good time to turn around. There is one more person who can be used at hand, not to mention that this is still a bureau laid out by the father?
For Emperor Qinglong, the prince was both in awe and awe. But the prince had a blind belief in the decision he made.
"Okay, I'll wait." Seeing that even if he continued, he couldn't ask anything, so the prince stopped the topic.
"I hope you don't let Lone down." The glint in his eyes flickered.
"The last general will not dare."
Out of the Prince's Mansion, Wu Zhengxiang glanced at the dark night sky and returned to the Zhongguo Mansion alone.
Zhiyuan Juli was the same as usual, but without her presence, he felt that there was a sense of coldness in the touching place. Every house, every house, every grass and tree seems to be lacking in vitality.
From the bottom of his heart, he felt a kind of loneliness.
What he is doing at the moment is only known to Emperor Qinglong, who has died, and Wu Guangqi. This kind of loneliness that is not understood, but has to move forward, he has not tasted it for a long time.
However, Emperor Qinglong treated him like a son, and he was determined to reciprocate with all his might.
What is this loneliness?
Thinking of Xu Wanzhen, who was far away in Songzhou, Wu Zhengxiang's heart was warm.
……
The barracks under the city, in the tent.
Wei Ming sat opposite a man with all his beards.
As a second-grade military general who crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, Wei Ming's momentum was faintly suppressed.
The man across from him had gray hair, but still stood on end like a steel whisker. He was tall and burly, and he could see that he was brave in his youth.
He is the king of Ruyang who should be imprisoned in Tailing.
On the same day, after Lin Xingchao and Wei Ming reached an agreement, the two went their separate ways to prepare.
When Lin Xingchao came back with the news that Emperor Qinglong had died in the palace, Wei Ming divided his troops into two routes: one way the army besieged Luoyang City and cut off the water and land routes; On the other hand, 2,000 elite soldiers rushed to Tailing to pick up the king of Ruyang.
He was imprisoned in Tailing, and it has been eleventh year so far.
Supposedly, such a hopeless life should consume all his ambitions. But in fact, it's quite the opposite.
His identity is there, because of the events of the past, those who were loyal to the first emperor were also loyal to him.
For example, after Tong Huachi defected from the shadow guard, he hid in the White Night Organization formed by the people, but he was actually under his control in secret.
Tong Huachi was loyal to the first emperor, and the first emperor's joy and anger were his joy and anger. Therefore, the first emperor's favor for King Ruyang is the reason why he strongly supports King Ruyang.
What's more, what happened back then, Emperor Qinglong did not do it authentically, and he was ruthless.
In front of the throne, any family affection is false. The throne of Emperor Qinglong was accompanied by bloody cruelty.
If he hadn't wanted to fight for a breath, he would have let the first emperor in the sky and the living King of Ruyang take a good look at it, and see how he created a peaceful and prosperous world, and the grass on the tomb of King Ruyang would be one person taller.
And the king of Ruyang has not been idle all these years, sending out two lines, one bright and one dark, constantly planning and layout.
Mingli is the white night led by Tong Huachi. Train the dead for him, gather intelligence, accumulate wealth, make weapons, armor, and so on;
Secretly, it was Jiang Chen who hid in Beijing as an actor, planning and plotting against ministers and generals with important positions.
Among them, there are successes and failures.
But in the end, he sat here, and he was only one step away from ultimate success.
The news he had been waiting for for many years finally arrived!
His lifelong enemy, his brother who is related to him by blood, fell into Jiang Chen's calculations, and finally couldn't survive the years and died in front of him!
Although King Ruyang didn't want to admit it in his heart, he had fear and awe in his heart for Emperor Qinglong.
At that time, his situation was very good, and he saw that the first emperor was about to abolish the crown prince and canonize him as the crown prince instead, but the situation was turned around by Emperor Qinglong.
At the last moment, he thought that he had the evidence produced by Emperor Qinglong back then, so that the first emperor changed his mind and wrote another secret decree on the succession.
But before this secret decree could play a role, Emperor Qinglong took the initiative with the power of thunder. Killing the people who supported him, only a very small number of shadow guards escaped with Tong Huachi.
He planned day by day in Tailing, but he didn't dare to show his head before the death of Emperor Qinglong, because he was afraid of his means.
Even if the news received said that Emperor Qinglong had been so sick that he hadn't gotten up for several months, he couldn't even speak. He didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that it would be another trick of Emperor Qinglong.
It wasn't until the exact news of his death came that he activated all the hole cards overnight, and he was sure to take the capital in one fell swoop.
At this time, it was the eleventh year of Qinglong, and after years of hard work, those who were loyal to him were still there.
He was confident that even if he received the news that the capital was besieged, only half of the army would move. The rest of the people will wait for the result.
That's enough for here!
With this time, the victory and defeat in Beijing have been decided.
King Ruyang has a brave appearance, but the previous fiasco and the tempering of these years have forced him to become a thoughtful person.
Of course, he relied on more than just the 50,000-strong army of the Gyeonggi battalion.
The most secret thing in his heart is his last reliance. But his hidden thoughts were all covered by a rough appearance, and he didn't show half of it.
King Ruyang picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and said, "General Wei, you are my brother in life and death!" Once it is done, it will be my general of the Zhu State, the hereditary Duke of Wei! ”
All kinds of glorious titles were smashed down without a cost, Wei Ming was so excited that his face was flushed, and his hands trembled.
The general of the Zhu State is only a fictitious title, but it represents the greatest glory of the military general, and it is where the super product is. His status in the court is equivalent to that of the Taishi.
Since the founding of Gao Mang, this title has not been canonized.
If you can get this name, it will not only be a glorious ancestor!
If he was still a little hesitant under the instigation of Lin Xingchao before, then after seeing King Ruyang, his confidence became stronger and stronger.
At the beginning, Lin Xingchao approached him under the banner of abolishing the crown prince. Later, he found out that it was the King of Ruyang who was behind the scenes. The other party hid so deeply that he shuddered.
