433, immortal meritorious service
At such times, Hermulan was very depressed about the underdevelopment of information.
In this era, if you want to block something, you really can't spread it.
The change of the country and the change of the prince have often been settled, and Fang began to have news outside, not to mention that it was too timely for Fuqu Mengxun to die, and Fuqu Bodhi could not find it, and Fuqu Mujian, as the eldest of all the existing sons of Fuqu Mengxun, had the support of officials from the Jiuquan faction and the Dunhuang faction, so he didn't have to waste any effort to wait for the throne.
The queen mother of many countries can be involved in politics, but this does not mean that Queen Meng can, because she is not the biological mother of Fuqu Muqian, so it is okay for Fuqu Muqian to be respectful to her, but if she wants to do anything else, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Queen Meng was originally a good move, but now it has become a waste chess.
After the envoy of Beiliang came, he was very polite, not only willing to send a large army to escort the Wei delegation back to China, but also willing to send other princesses and relatives again. In order to show the submission of Bei Liang, Fuqu Muqian was even willing to divorce the current princess Li Jingai and marry the princess of Wei as the queen.
This is not only to repair the rift between the two countries, but also to act as a last resort. Li Jingai was born in the Nanliang royal family, but his adultery with his widowed sister-in-law has made the Xiliang immigrants very dissatisfied, and the relationship with Li Jingai has also cracked.
Bei Liang's attitude was very sincere and humble, in addition to these conditions, Fuqu Muqian was even willing to re-establish the eldest son born to him and Li Jingai as the son of the family and send him to Wei as a hostage, to show that Bei Liang would never betray his determination.
In this era, many people have finally had an heir of their own, such as Tuoba Tao, who only dared to go abroad with peace of mind after Tuoba Huang, and the replacement of the country would not be cut off.
Fuqu Muqian now has only one son, that is, Li Jingai's son Fuqu Fengtan, and is willing to send his only son as a hostage, which makes the envoys very moved.
"I can't wait to put my wings on my body now, go back to Beijing and ask Gu Yi and Cui Taichang what to do." The envoy had no idea, and he only felt a headache.
"Do we continue to make friends with Beiliang, return to Guzang and hand over Queen Meng to the Beiliang court, and change a princess to continue to come back and make peace, or do we wait for the arrival of the imperial court's national letter?"
Several of the envoys felt that their brains were a little inadequate.
"It seems that going to Guzang now, this is the best way?"
The conditions proposed by Bei Liang are so good that it is difficult not to be impressed.
"I'm inclined to wait and see, and stabilize the Beiliang Imperial Court first." Liu Zhen expressed a different opinion. "The sudden ascension to the throne of Fuqu Muqian must be jealous of the power of Queen Meng's faction, but it is only because of the disappearance of Bodhi and the pressure of the accident of our mission that the throne cannot be left vacant, so it is so easy to ascend the throne. There must be a lot of opposition in their country, and the succession of Fuqu Muqian must also be agreed by our country, and His Majesty's title has been granted to Beiliang, and he is the rightful King of Liang. ”
Beiliang is a vassal state of Wei, so the new king succeeds to the throne and must be enthroned by Tuoba Tao.
"Now that he has ascended the throne, he has not solved the domestic crisis, because of the accident in the mission, my country also has great opinions on Liangguo, at this time, he must get the support of my country, so he sent the princess again, and he wanted to accept the princess of our country as the queen, and he was even willing to send a proton, all of which wanted to get the title of His Majesty Xià to block the mouth of the domestic opposition......"
Yuan Fang and Liu Zhen have similar opinions.
"Now that we have taken the initiative, it is better to drag it first and see what else Bei Liang will react to. As soon as he ascends the throne, the letter of state will definitely be sent to Pingcheng, and there will be envoys from Pingcheng, so we might as well wait for domestic news for the time being, and Queen Meng will not have to hand it over to them. ”
He Mullan listened to the advice of the envoys and nodded understandingly.
"I understand, now the frustrated Muqian wants to hold us, worried that something will happen to us, so let's delay."
She was originally unwilling to be so cheap.
"Now we have too little news, what is the situation in Guzang, Queen Meng's departure from Guzang seems to have caused a lot of shock, and where is Fuqu Bodhi now......
Her words caused a silence, this is also no way, since leaving Guzang, Liu Zhen has lost contact with Guzang's egret official, the transportation in the desert is inconvenient, although this oasis is very large, but it has not formed a market, and it is very troublesome to pass on the news.
If they hadn't wanted to take out all the treasures of Windy City and bring them back, they would have abandoned this oasis closest to Windy City and returned to Chin Khan City by now.
Their guess was right, and the envoy of Beiliang was also in a hurry.
Fuqu Muqian ascended to the throne under great pressure, and at least half of the ministers and generals in Guzang City did not attend his enthronement ceremony, and they did not even go to the court, and they did not go out.
Fuqu Bodhi is just missing, and the Meng family army sent people to rescue Queen Meng, many people believe that Queen Meng will return to China with her son to succeed to the throne, the Meng family has received support from the army, and Queen Meng is the son recognized by Wei, once Fuqu Bodhi comes back, many people will defect.
It is because of this situation that many of the courtiers of Beiliang are unwilling to stand in line, even if Fuqu Muqian ascends the throne, Wei State is still in vain if he does not confer it, and now he supports Fuqu Muqian, and in the future, Wei State will be crowned the new King of Liang, and the time to settle accounts after the autumn is in front of him.
Many people are willing to risk offending the frustrated herdsmen, but they also have to wait and see for a while, and do not dare to surrender.
What's more, the death of Frustrated Qu Mengxun is too strange, and the "violent death" is really not like it can happen to an old and cunning guy like Frustrated Qu Mengxun.
There are already rumors in the country that Fuqu Muqian secretly poisoned him, and it is very likely that Fuqu Mengxun's entourage who was serving closely was bought, and someone poisoned his diet, otherwise the king of a country would never have died of hard work.
In the midst of all kinds of rumors, denials, wait-and-see, and all kinds of persecution, although Frustrated Muqian sat on the throne, he was still on pins and needles. The officials of the Jiuquan faction and the officials of the Dunhuang faction who supported him were waiting for him to reward him lavishly, promote and make a fortune, so as to repay their support for the merits, but this is the time when it is most necessary to appease people's hearts.
Trembling externally, walking on thin ice internally, every day there are important ministers urging him to welcome back Queen Meng and look for the missing Fuqu Bodhi, but he knows that Queen Meng is □□ to take Fuqu Bodhi and Fuqu White Horse away from the world, and their requirements are inevitably a little perfunctory, which makes these important ministers suspect that his throne is a little tired.
Originally, he thought that in another half a year, Queen Meng and Bodhi were silent, so he appeased the Meng family and Queen Meng's original princely ministers, and then worked together to develop national strength, and befriended Liu Song and Wei on both sides, becoming the force in the three-legged tripod, who knew that at this time, the Meng family army suddenly marched back to Guzang, saying that Queen Meng was captured by Wei!
Not only was Queen Meng captured by the Wei State, but according to the soldiers who fled back from the Meng family, the Fuqu Bodhi prince was also in the hands of the Wei State, and it was the Tiger Ben Army of the Wei State who snatched it back from the horse thieves!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from the throne.
The Meng family said it earnestly, saying that the horse thief wanted to ask Queen Meng for a ransom with the son of Fuqu Bodhi, and Queen Meng led the Meng army to suppress the bandits, but ran into the tiger army that was fighting with the horse thief, and the commander of the tiger army, Hua Mulan, led the army to rebel against the horse thief and recapture the prince, and Queen Meng also wanted to take back the prince, so the two parties had a misunderstanding, and Queen Meng was captured and went back, only letting the Meng family army come back.
This qiē is completely different from what Queen Meng said before!
Queen Meng obviously told him kindly that she would no longer appear in Beiliang and would take a pair of children to the Western Regions! For this reason, he even secretly told his henchmen in Dunhuang, Zhangye and Jiuquan that if he met someone who was suspected of being Queen Meng, not only should he not be embarrassed, but he should also try to make it as convenient as possible for them to leave the country as soon as possible.
Why did you get to Wei now?
At this moment, the whole Guzang was boiling, Fuqu Mengxun had not yet been buried, and a few days after Fuqu Muqian ascended the throne, as soon as the old ministers were on the throne, they sent envoys in advance, wanting to go to the oasis to exchange the Fuqu Bodhi prince and Queen Meng, and support them to come back to the throne.
At this time, Fuqu Muqian even wondered if he had fallen into the pit of the Meng family, Fuqu Mengxun would not have died so quickly, there were indeed his hands and feet, Fuqu Mengxun was not buried, if the "autopsy" Hua Mulan came back with Queen Meng, maybe he would have the reputation of "killing his father", and the throne would also be lost.
He finally ascended to the throne, but he became a thorn in the side of many forces, and even Buddhism faintly condemned him for being too anxious, which made him even more frightened.
In this case, Fuqu Muqian had to take the construction of the prime minister Song Xuan, send the dead soldiers to kill the envoys sent by the officials sent by the Beiliang Yonghou, and then order the envoys to hurry with the envoys in the starry night, find the Wei envoy first, and conclude an alliance before the Wei people knew about the upheaval in the country.
In order to prevent Queen Meng and the Wei people from uniting together and returning to China with Fuqu Bodhi, Fuqu Muqian even mobilized heavy troops to blockade the city west of Windy City, making sure that the remnants of the thousands of soldiers and horses of Wei could not escort the two back to China.
And during this time, he has to seize a qiē time to stabilize the Wei State, and then clean up the domestic mess, and may even kill a bloody storm, only to stabilize the situation, it will be too late for the Wei State to make trouble by using the frustration of Bodhi.
Fuqu Muqian is worthy of being a hero-like figure, and with the assistance of an old and cunning strategist like Song Xuan, they all figured out that the Wei envoy is now deep in the desert, as if they are blind and deaf, they do not know the situation in Beiliang, and they cannot get instructions from Pingcheng in a short time, so they can only stand still and wait for the next news.
What he lacks is time, he needs time to dispatch troops, eliminate dissidents, take time to raid his family and exterminate his family, and win over his old ministers, he can't let Wei take a step forward in Guzang.
He was very prepared to speculate everything, but he missed a person.
Yuan Poqiang, who led his private soldiers and the old Xianbei troops to Dunhuang, rushed to the vicinity of Windy City day and night after receiving the news of the accident of the Wei mission, bringing with him a trustworthy and reliable army, but also bringing the news that the Wei mission needed most now.
They passed through Guzang from Dunhuang, all the way, just met Fuqu Mengxun died in the middle of the road, Fuqu Mujian Fuling ascended the throne, Guzang City was full of martial law, rumors spread, and there was news that the Fuqu Bodhi son was not dead and spread to the states, and the chieftains, assassins, and local military governors were all ready to move, watching left and right.
Yuan Poqiang was displaced in the first half of his life, and Fuqu Mengxun broke through Nanliang and occupied Guzang had a lot to do with it, he dreamed of revenge in Beiliang, and now he got such news, and took out a huge treasure in Dunhuang, and immediately arranged everything, and went to the Tiger Ben Army to join Mulan.
"You mean, the position of the frustrated herd is not stable at all? As soon as Queen Meng and Fuqu Bodhi return to China, there will be generals from all over the country who will immediately support Fuqu Bodhi? Why? He Mulan looked at Yuan Poqiang suspiciously, "Isn't it cheaper to support Fuqu Mujian?" ”
"Because Buddhism intervened. Lao Liang Wang has been worshiping Buddhism for a long time, before his death had entrusted Buddhism to help find Fuqu Bodhi, Buddhism thought that Fuqu Mengxun should be willing to Fuqu Bodhi to succeed to the throne, so he made such a request, since Fuqu Bodhi is not dead, Buddhism will keep its promise and protect the son. ”
Yuan Poqiang lowered his voice.
"But I think it should be some kind of covenant between His Majesty and the Buddhism Gate of Beiliang......
Almost everyone in Beiliang believes in Buddhism, and Buddhism enters and exits the mansions of dignitaries, and even many nobles raise monks in the mansions. These monks are proficient in many knowledge, and in the desolate place of Beiliang, many people can be regarded as virtuous, once Buddhism lobbied the generals to protect Bodhi, it was more effective than anyone talking.
"陛xià...... Hey, isn't this a game of skin? He Mulan shook his head, "Then according to General Yuan, are we going to send Queen Meng back now?" The Bodhi Son in our hands is fake, and really only Queen Meng knows where it is. ”
"We can't meddle in this matter, if we directly send a large army to let Fuqu Bodhi go back to fight for the throne, then all the people of Beiliang think that we are going to take the opportunity to attack Beiliang and destroy the Liang country. We can only find a way to intervene in this matter, and at most we can borrow troops. ”
Yuan Poqiang's face was extremely cautious.
"I have traveled all the way, and there are heavy troops along the town, just with our two or three thousand people, even if we want to support Fuqu Bodhi to ascend the throne, we can't send back Guzang, we can only support Fuqu Bodhi to recruit troops and buy horses behind our backs, and then return to Beiliang to ascend the throne."
"Recruitment?"
The Wei envoys looked at each other.
"This ...... Is this appropriate? ”
"Nominally, it's Queen Meng's people, but it's actually the people we recruited. The first thing to do is to take out the money and wealth of Windy City, and then send an envoy in the name of Queen Meng, bribing the generals along the town with heavy money and the power of the Wei State, I believe that Buddhism will also contact us soon, and this matter can be entrusted to Buddhism to do it......"
Yuan Poqiang had already calculated very clearly on the way here.
"Fuqu Muqian wants to divorce his wife and marry the princess of Wei, the Xiliang immigrants in Dunhuang are already very dissatisfied, and there are many local chieftains who are good friends with the Meng family, and they can bribe with money. I came back from Dunhuang this time and retrieved a sum of gold that Nanliang had hidden in Dunhuang, which could be used to act. ”
Yuan Poqiang is not afraid of spending money, no matter how much it is spent, Tuoba Tao will not treat him badly, the Beiliang royal family has gold, and this place produces gold.
"In this way, it is cheaper for Fuqu Bodhi and Queen Meng."
Na Luo Hun was a little dissatisfied, "My Tiger Ben Army has killed so many good sons......"
"We'll count this debt."
Yuan Poqiang raised his eyes to look at He Mulan.
"Escorting Queen Meng and Fuqu Bodhi is fake, and it is true to use this opportunity to attack Guzang. As long as Guzang is taken down, Bodhi abdicates and incorporates Liang into Wei, just like Helian Ding Xian Western Qin, our soldiers can get Beiliang peacefully without blood, and there is no need to send troops to expedition again......"
"I'm waiting for an immortal feat, and it's right in front of us!"
