Can Tuoba Changkong extinguish Tuoba Xiao? Of course, if Silver Birch doesn't help.

But obviously, Silver Birch would not sit idly by and watch Tuoba Xiao be destroyed, they needed the Baishan Dynasty to be a temporary buffer zone between the two great powers, so as not to face each other too soon. After Yinhua unified the Cangshan region and ruled it firmly, it didn't matter whether Baishan existed or not.

The most important thing is that the second meaning of Hua Lao Chuan deeply touched Tuoba Changkong. Rushing back to Beijing before Gao Yuanfeng rushed, everything was possible, and the obstacles in his heart were said by Hua Lao to be completely non-existent. He persuaded himself that this was for the Lifeng Tuoba family, and for Lifeng to survive forever. Such a big task, with that submissive Tuoba Song, obviously cannot be accomplished. As the eldest son of the Tuoba family, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

This point, Lin Yuan had calculated in advance, and he would definitely be tempted to recognize Tuoba Changkong. Once Tuoba Changkong seizes the throne or prepares to seize the throne, Lifeng will inevitably fight among themselves. Lifeng is infighting, and the opportunity for Baishan Tuoba Xiao has come. Tuoba Xiao is also surnamed Tuoba Ah. Interlocking and step-by-step, Lin Yuan's strategy can be described as a last resort. However, the plan did not change quickly, one was that Tuoba Changying had too many important ministers, which made Tuoba Xiao think that the Lifeng Dynasty would collapse, so he rushed forward. The second is that Tuoba Song's personality suddenly changed.

As a result, Lin Yuan counted himself dead. When Tuoba Xiao came to tell him that he needed to use his head to calm Lifeng's anger, Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation. I don't know if it's because of despair for Tuoba Xiao, or because I know that I am seriously injured and difficult to recover, anyway, it is a dead end.

Tuoba Changkong invited Wen Chengde to discuss the truce. The reason is very good, Guo Libin and Ye Zangjian are in a stalemate. The occupied land was reduced to ruins, and it was no longer feasible to feed the enemy. If you continue to fight, you must replenish the baggage of Lifeng, otherwise you will lose. Replenishing resources from within the country, the Lifeng treasury cannot afford it. In the end, Lifeng will drag herself down because of her reckless military force.

The second reason is that Yin Hua is willing to force Bai Shan to hand over the culprit Lin Yuan. As soon as Lin Yuan dies, as long as Lifeng recovers in the future, he can destroy Baishan at any time.

The third reason is that the new emperor Tuoba Song was obviously not ready to be hastily and forcibly promoted to the top position. The important ministers of the court suffered heavy losses, and if Guo Libin, Ye Zangjian, and Tuoba Changkong, the only remaining important ministers, did not return to Beijing as soon as possible, Tuoba Song would definitely be overtaken by the Taishi Wei Xian and Zhongshu Ling Cao Shen. This matter is extremely unfavorable to Lifeng's overall situation.

And fourth, if Tuoba Changkong, as an uncle, does not return to Beijing as soon as possible, Tuoba Song will forcibly recruit Gao Yuanfeng to return to Beijing. But can Gao Yuanfeng leave at this time? As soon as Gao Yuanfeng leaves, the Flying Wolf Dynasty will surely advance north. Gao Yuanfeng has been fighting for a year, and the white clouds that he finally fought will be lost again. At that time, there will be silver birch in the north, flying wolf in the south, and Lifeng will be even more dangerous.

Wen Chengde, who rarely interfered in the affairs of the court, was convinced, after all, after so long, the hatred had not disappeared, but the furious heart had calmed down and could consider the problem rationally. If Baishan can really hand over Lin Yuan, it is indeed a reluctance to avenge the killing of Tuoba Changying, and it is indeed like Tuoba Changkong said, the Baishan Dynasty that lost Lin Yuan can be leveled at any time in the future.

As soon as Wen Chengde agreed, things were easy to do. Tuoba Changkong sent a book to conquer the Eastern Army, and the Zhendong Army and the Loyal Army stopped on the spot. and passed on the books Tuoba Song, Guo Libin, and Ye Zangjian to explain Hua Lao's intentions, as well as his own and Wen Chengde's opinions. Then he took the supermen such as Qinwei and Wen Chengde and walked with Hua Lao's Silver Birch Mission and returned to Lijing.

Human madness cannot last. It's been a few months since Tuoba Eagle died, and Tuoba Song's madness has passed, leaving only sadness. For military affairs, he has an even more headache. It's not that he's stupid, it's not that he doesn't have insights, it's that he doesn't have the courage and decisiveness to be the master. Whenever he expresses his opinion, if it is close to Wei Xian and Cao Shen's opinion, it is nothing, and if it is quite different, it will be criticized as useless.

Although Wei Xian and Cao Shen gave him enough face and respect, they regarded themselves as loyal ministers. But what makes people even more hateful is these so-called loyal ministers, as if their every word is for the king and the empire, if you don't listen to them, it will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Being criticized a lot, just like a student treats a course with bad grades, and becomes more and more disgusted. Tuoba Song became more and more silent, and let Wei Xian and Cao Shen be the masters, he was just a jade seal, and he would cover it when he needed it. The only thing that made Tuoba Song still a little interested was to write a letter to Gao Yuanfeng. He repeatedly asked Gao Yuanfeng to return to Beijing as soon as possible. In the Lijing Palace and the Imperial Hall, he only had one feeling left, that is, the loneliness and helplessness of orphans.

When Tuoba Song went crazy, the holy decree given to Gao Yuanfeng was not issued. After that, he was busy supplementing the court officials, paying attention to the war, and for a while, he couldn't take care of it, so he didn't write a letter to Gao Yuanfeng. Think of giving high

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

By the time Yuanfeng wrote the letter, a month or two had passed. Although Gao Yuanfeng was asked to return to Beijing in the first letter, this was neither a holy decree nor an official document of the three provinces or the Xia official government, and Gao Yuanfeng could not return to Beijing on this basis.

By the time Gao Yuanfeng's reply arrived in Lijing, Wei Xian and Cao Shen had even controlled the eunuchs in the palace. When the two looked at each other, Gao Yuanfeng said to Tuoba Song in a letter that if he wanted to return to Beijing, he needed a holy decree or official document. Wei and Cao burned the letter with a clear heart. They defended themselves in their hearts from the perspective of loyal ministers, no matter what, Gao Yuanfeng could not return to Beijing. Gao Yuanfeng's return to Beijing did not help, but made Baiyun's newly harvested land unstable.

Then, Wei Xian and Cao Shen further controlled the letters sent by Tuoba Song, and as long as there was a request for Gao Yuanfeng to return to Beijing, they were all intercepted.

Not only the eunuchs in the palace, but also Wang Yong, the commander of the forbidden army, were all approached by Cao Shen and Wei Xian for a righteous and strict conversation, saying that His Majesty was young, immature, and impulsive. Once there is no restraint, it will be bad for the country and the people. Therefore, the letters and other things sent by His Majesty are requested to be considered by General Wang for the sake of the country, the people, and His Majesty's country, and must be intercepted and examined, so as not to cause irreparable disasters.

Wang Yong's family has been the shadow guard or forbidden army of the royal family for several lifetimes, and their loyalty is absolutely unique. He is a pure minister, and his duty is to protect His Majesty's security and the stability of the throne, and he rarely interferes in other court affairs. And the operation of the current dynasty really depends on the two in front of them, not to mention that what they said is also reasonable, so Wang Yong agreed to Wei Xian and Cao Shen's request.

Loyal ministers and traitors are not born. Today's Cao Shen and Wei Xian, manipulating the government and setting up the monarch, are big traitors. They themselves don't think they're working hard for this dynasty. So many major affairs in a country fall on them, especially the selection of officials, which is even more laborious. Who is promoted and who is not promoted depends on whether the person being promoted is credible, loyal, and competent. However, their views are necessarily different from those of the public. The promotion of those they approve of constitutes de facto appointeeship.

In this case, Tuoba Changkong suddenly returned to the court, and Cao Shen and Wei Xian both vigorously opposed it. As the governor of Xinjiang, the border is not yet at peace, so how can he return to Beijing? Let Tuoba Song issue an order to reprimand him, and sternly demand that Tuoba Changkong not return to Beijing. As for the Silver Birch Mission, it was enough to be accompanied by Wen Chengde.

But Tuoba Song's holy decree is not like Tuoba Changying's holy decree, Tuoba Changkong simply ignored it and returned as usual. and passed on Guo Libin and Ye Zangjian, saying that Tuoba Song might be set aside by Cao Shen and Wei Xian, and asked them to return to Beijing together. Only don't pass on the book to Gao Yuanfeng.

Guo Libin and Ye Zangjian are both old foxes in officialdom, and they understand that if they don't return to Beijing at this time, Lijing will have no room for them to speak in the future.

The governors of the three roads returned to Beijing together, and Cao Shen and Wei Xian couldn't stop it. Because although Tuoba Song is weak, he still has a bottom line for some things, and Tuoba Song insisted on not allowing Cao Shen and Wei Xian to let him degrade Tuoba Changkong in the name of disobeying the holy decree.

A month later, the governor of the three roads arrived in Beijing one after another, and the conflict with Wei Xian and Cao Shen broke out almost immediately, and the precipitating factor was that the chief Situ Tian Yuting of the local government did not die. Tian Yuting was rescued by the farmers after being injured, and after recovering from her injuries, several months have passed. It happened to meet when Tuoba Changkong returned to Beijing.

Back in the capital, her place had been occupied by Wei Xian's people. Tuoba Song originally wanted to appoint Long Yunyi as the Great Situ, because Long Yunyi's daughter Long Yilan was Shi Ji's wife. And Shi Ji is the elder brother of Huangfu Cheng. However, it was refuted by the Menxia Province controlled by Wei Xian. Wei Xian's reason was that the vassal generals could not be trusted. Then Wei Xian recommended his own people. Cao Shen's recommendation of someone to the throne also had Wei Xian's consent, so he did not object. Tuoba Song had no choice but to agree.

Above the court, for the position of the great Situ, the quarrel was very fierce, and the old Hua and his party were actually hung in the Honglu Temple, as if Tuoba Song was a puppet.

One was appointed by the first emperor and the other was 'appointed' by the new emperor, and the two great situ did not give in to each other. Cao Shen and Wei Xian certainly supported the newcomers, which related to the legitimacy of so many high-ranking officials they arranged. Tuoba Changkong and the three of them insisted that the original Situ was still there, and he was born and died, so how could he be deprived of his official position.

Hua Lao is not in a hurry, and he is happy to see the contradictions in the Lifeng court. Play around every day, or visit Lifeng high-ranking officials. The name is naturally for the friendship between the two countries, but in fact what he said is known only to the person being visited.

The noise was fruitless, and the local government could barely function. The two big situ have their own pumps, and the new big situ has not had time to replace all his subordinates with cronies. At this time, Tuoba Changkong secretly visited Wang Yong, bitterly Chen Quanchen's authoritarian power to empty His Majesty's harm, saying that it would be like this for a long time

, the world of Lifeng will be the world of the Cao family or the Wei family.

The king permanently resides in the temple, and of course has his own judgment. He was also very dissatisfied with Cao Shen and Wei Xian. The dissatisfaction is not that he has not promoted his manpower, as a pure minister, he has no idea of autocracy, and his cronies are all in the forbidden army, as long as Cao Shen and Wei Xian do not move the forbidden army, he will not care. He was dissatisfied that Cao Wei and the others had become more and more strict in their blockade of the imperial palace, cutting off almost all contact between Tuoba Song and the outside world. Tuoba Song couldn't get Gao Yuanfeng's reply for a long time, so he had to ask his sister Tuoba Lanxin to go to Baiyun to find Gao Yuanfeng in person.

When Tuoba Lanxin and Xia Yixin went out of the city with their guards, Cao Shen actually ordered the city guards to intercept them. Such an act made Wang Yong completely angry, openly blocking the way of the princess, which was like a rebellion, and Cao and Wei couldn't explain it no matter how fanciful they were. Because Wang Yong was angry, the second daughter left the capital.

However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and Wang Yong has no intention of getting involved. He said to Tuoba Changkong: "I don't care about the affairs outside the palace, I am only responsible for the safety of His Majesty and the palace, as well as severely punishing the rebellion." ”

This is equivalent to telling Tuoba Changkong that what you do outside the palace has nothing to do with me.

Tuoba Changkong cautiously saluted Wang Yong, "I thank the general for the royal family and Lifeng." ”

The next day, near noon, a young eunuch walked in the wing room on the left side of the entrance to the imperial city, "Who are the personal guards of Lord Cao and Lord Wei? The lord told you that you could go home first, and then come back to pick them up in the evening. ”

This is not abrupt, it is a regular occurrence. The adults stayed and the palace would provide meals, but the guards would not provide meals. Therefore, the guards usually go home first, and then come to pick up the adults of each family in the afternoon. The guards were also happy about this, and most of them did not go home, but went out to drink or shop on the streets, which is equivalent to a half-day off, as long as they remember the time of return.

The guards of the Cao Wei family scattered in a hurry and ran away. The eunuch smiled coldly and went back to his life.

Not long after, Cao Shen and Wei Xian, who were triumphant because they won the court debate again, walked in front of the hundred officials and strode out of the palace after dispersing, but the guards who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time were nowhere to be seen. Both of them were surprised, thinking that their guards were waiting outside the palace gate, so they stepped out of the imperial city. As soon as they stepped out of the palace gate, the palace gate behind them was immediately closed without waiting for the hundred officials to go out.

The two were relatively stunned. At this time, Tuoba Changkong and Guo Libin, who were not in the court today, suddenly appeared, and brought a lot of personal guards.

"You're only going to the court now, and you're ignoring the court too much, aren't you?" Wei Xian accused with righteousness.

Tuoba Changkong said with a smile: "The words of the Taishi are reasonable. No, did Lord Taiwei and I come to ask you and Lord Cao for guilt?"

Cao Shen thought that Tuoba Changkong and Guo Libin had finally recognized the situation and accepted the reality, and said proudly: "It's not necessary to ask us for guilt, you should go to Your Majesty tomorrow to ask for guilt." ”

Guo Libin said with a smile: "I am more anxious to wait for the martial artists to do things, and I can't wait for tomorrow." Isn't this about to enter the palace to ask Your Majesty for sin?"

As he spoke, Tuoba Changkong and Guo Libin had already arrived at Wei Xian and Cao Shen's side.

Wei Xian said majestically: "You better come tomorrow, the palace gate is ······ today Ahh

At the same time, Cao Shen also screamed.

Guo Libin and Tuoba Changkong shot at the same time, not using the spiritual weapon in the spirit ring, for fear that the fluctuation of divine consciousness and spiritual energy would arouse the vigilance of Cao Wei and the others, but used the poison-stained dagger hidden in the sleeve to quickly insert into Cao Shen and Wei Xian's abdomen.

After the blow, the two of them instantly retreated. "Up!" The guards of the two hugged each other, and the spiritual weapons came out together, together with Cao Weizhan, who was dying and resisting. After a while, Cao Shen and Wei Xian were chopped into pulp.

Subsequently, the palace gates were wide open. Before the hundred officials, Guo Libin and Tuoba Changkong knelt in front of the palace gate, saying that they had no purpose and killed the traitor Cao Shen and Wei Xian without permission, and asked His Majesty to punish him.

The earthquake caused by this incident was no less than the killing of Wu Xing by Gao Yuanfeng last year. Some of the ministers were angry, some were frightened, some applauded, and there was an uproar and a lot of noise.

"Shut up!" Wen Chengde appeared at the right time, "Your Majesty has a decree, no one is allowed to leave the palace, and they are waiting for the decree here." Tuoba Changkong, Guo Libin, you come with me. ”

In the study, Wen Chengde and Wang Yong stood behind Tuoba Song. Tuoba Song stared at Guo Libin and Tuoba Changkong, and didn't ask why they killed Cao and Wei, but only said one sentence, "I want to return to Beijing with high wind." ”
