Chapter 571 Cannon fodder between the factory flower and the empress dowager 26

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, Chen Sinian understands this truth better than anyone else, but for his personal interests, he still chooses to seek skin with the tiger. The barbarians are simple-minded and only pay attention to immediate interests, Chen Sinian took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and they rushed up like wild dogs smelling rotting corpses.

This year, heavy snow covers the mountains, and the grasslands are also frozen for thousands of miles. The barbarians usually live by fishing, hunting and grazing, and the disaster must be serious, and they will definitely go to the border of the Great Zhou to plunder in the spring of next year.

It's just that the remnants of the Zhenxi army are still there, and the barbarians didn't dare to intrude, so Chen Sinian made a private agreement with the barbarians in order to deal with the Min family, as long as they could hold the Min family, he was willing to provide food, grass and warm clothing.

Heavy snow into a disaster, the vast area of the Great Perimeter in the coming year need more disaster relief, Chen Sinian used his power for personal gain to collude with foreign thieves, to provide them with border attack and defense maps, so that the barbarians can harass the border people, just for the selfish interests of one person, which is really hateful and hateful.

The Great Zhou has always had a reputation as a superior country in the surrounding small countries and tribes, and it is a state of civilized etiquette.

"Haha, that's fine, I don't know when the governor will deliver the first batch of grain, grass and warm clothes to my Rotu tribe."

Toro's eyes sparkled, his thick fingers clasped together, and he unconsciously smashed his mouth, and the sheepskin pile his whole body like a bear.

Chen Sinian resented Toro's rude words, deeds and actions, especially the smug look on his face when he smacked his lips.

But Toro now represents the Luotu tribe, Chen Sinian can only endure it for the time being, his eyes flashing slightly: "Toro-jun doesn't need to be anxious, as long as your tribe acts according to our covenant, the first batch of grain, grass and warm clothes will be given by the governor with both hands immediately." ”

Although Toro is not familiar with the capital, and he is even more confused about the Great Zhou court, he remembers that in previous years, when the tribe came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to pay tribute, Chen Sinian received him.

He understands the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he can also see from the attitude of others inside and outside the palace towards Chen Sinian that his status and power are by no means comparable to ordinary ministers.

The Great Zhou called the emperor long live, and Chen Sinian was 9,000 years old, which shows how rampant he was.

At the beginning, Chen Sinian sent people to form an alliance and cooperate with the Luotu tribe, and their tribal chief was suspicious, thinking that this was another strategy of the Great Zhou.

It was only the envoy sent by Chen Sinian who brought a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as dazzling silk and satin, and the conditions proposed by the other party were too tempting and harmless to the Luotu tribe, so they believed in Chen Sinian's sincerity.

Although the Great Zhou Xiang looked down on the surrounding barbarians, the Luotu tribe often dealt with the Great Zhou, and for the sake of prudence, they specially sent envoys to Beijing to negotiate with Chen Sinian again in the name of merchants, and at the same time inquired about the movements of the Great Zhou Dynasty and investigated the reason why Chen Sinian suddenly cooperated with them.

This time he came to Da Zhou again, and Toro was able to be entrusted with important tasks, naturally not because he was tall and powerful, but because he seemed to be stupid but was actually cautious and cautious.

After entering Beijing, Toro and Chen Sinian on the one hand, on the other hand, took the opportunity to look for flowers and willows, inquired everywhere, fireworks and wine shops, and learned that Chen Sinian's situation for more than a year was much worse than before, and the party strife in the Great Zhou court was serious, and he was excluded because of his power and bullying the monarch.

Knowing that the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, Toro was overjoyed, and he was eager to immediately spur his horse to bring the good news back to the tribe. The Rottu people are like the wolves lurking on the border of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou is the fat lamb in their eyes, and they want to tear off a few pieces of meat from the Great Zhou when they seize the opportunity.

Listening to Chen Sinian's words, Toro's eyes rolled and he also knew that the people of the Great Zhou were cunning, and the person who had called for wind and rain in the Great Zhou, and even the emperor had to look at his face, was even more cunning, and he couldn't get any benefits, so he salivated and said: "Hehe, Nine Thousand Years Old is a cheerful person, and our patriarch has been looking forward to meeting you." If the Rotu tribe can win this battle, I hope you will remember the promise in the covenant. ”

Chen Sinian put the jade cup that was almost crushed in his hand on the table, lifted the hem slightly, and lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Tuo Luojun just tell your lord that this governor is true to his word, as long as he can drag the Zhenxi army, cooperate with me to forge evidence of the Min family's collaboration with the enemy and treason." After the Governor takes power, he is willing to cede the city of Westwood to the Rotu tribe for fifty years. ”

Toro was reassured, couldn't help laughing, his beard trembled, he casually picked up the wine glass on the table, and rudely saluted: "Nine thousand years old is a real hero in the world!" ”

He made a gesture of praise unique to the Luotu tribe, but in his heart he remembered that Chen Sinian was a eunuch, not a complete man, and he smiled even more wantonly.

Chen Sinian didn't want to deal with Toro anymore, so he high-fived softly, only to see two palace women in palace clothes with thin willow waists ********and combed spirit snake buns, walking in with lotus steps.

Toro was stunned when he took the cup, and when the two women looked up, their bright eyes were charming and natural, the bright light was shy, and they had the shyness and grace unique to the women of the Great Zhou, and the saliva was about to flow down when they saw it.

Chen Sinian looked at the palace maids who were only two middle-aged people, so he made Toro show such an unbearable appearance, and laughed at him for his shallow knowledge, but his mood was finally better.

"Thanksgiving to Tuo Luojun for the alliance between the governor and the Luotu tribe came thousands of miles away, there is no good wife and no concubine by the side, it is inevitable to be lonely, although these two maids are the posture of Pu Liu, but their hands and feet are nimble. If you don't dislike it, you will accept the two, and when you return home in the future, you can have someone to serve you and wash during the journey. ”

This is the longest time Chen Sinian has spoken since the two got along, Toro pretended to be a lustful soul, thanked him repeatedly, and without waiting for Chen Sinian to leave, he opened his ape arm and hugged the two beauties left and right.

The two beauties were petite, and they were so sore that they were hugged by Toro, and they were rushed by the anger on his body, and they almost fainted and made a shy appearance, smiling and dodging.

Toro laughed at the two beauties wantonly, and under Chen Sinian's arrangement, he got into a carriage and left through the back door, planning to buy some cloth, porcelain, and delicate gadgets in the capital and then take the beauties back to the tribe.

Chen Sinian thought he was doing something unknowingly, but he didn't know that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow sparrows, Gu Xiaoxiao reminded him in the plot that he had long known that he might collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, so whenever there were foreign businessmen in the capital, they would send people to keep an eye on them.

There are only three or four people in Toro's party, and they dress up and act like businessmen throughout the whole process, especially Toro also likes to linger in fireworks and wine shops, as if he is just a drunken person who is immersed in the beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But no matter how cunning the fox is, there are times when he shows his feet, after the Great Zhou Snow Disaster, Gu Xiaoxiao reminded Feng Yu to stop paying attention to the movements of the aliens in Beijing, suspecting that Chen Sinian would take this opportunity to collude with the foreign races and do something to harm the people.

Feng Yuzhu has been fighting with Chen Sinian for many years, and he naturally knows his temperament well, he is essentially a mad dog, as long as he can make a profit from it, let alone cooperate with the barbarians, even if he cooperates with the king of Hades, he is willing.

After finding out that Chen Sinian had indeed a connection with the barbarians, they told Min Ze about it, and the Min family took the trouble to send people to the Luotu tribe to buy off the nobles in the Luotu tribe who were at odds with the current patriarch according to the gourd painting, and learned from his mouth that the tribal chief planned to go to the Great Zhou to plunder after the beginning of spring next year, and was full of confidence in the war.

In order to find out where the confidence of the patriarch of the Luotu tribe came from, the Min family tried everything and finally found out a little news, it turned out that the Luotu tribe had the border map of Da Zhou in their hands, and they also had other things to rely on, but these were only known to the patriarch and the sorcerers in the tribe.

The border defense map is the most important thing in a country, and even in the army guarding the border gates, only the marshal and a few generals really know the various border checkpoints and the number of soldiers.

Now that the border map has been leaked, it is like Da Zhou is exposed under the spears of the surrounding barbarians, and when the wolf smoke rises, the barbarians are prepared, and the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army will inevitably suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, when Gu Xiaoxiao was in alliance with Min Ze, he reminded him that he must guard against Chen Sinian's plot, the people sent by the imperial court should not be trusted, and the border layout should also be appropriately changed, but he must not make a big noise, and there is no need to report to the imperial court.

Just like Gu Xiaoxiao asked Min Ze to raise private soldiers before, if these things are poked out, the first person to be questioned is the Min family. But Min Ze still chose to cooperate with them without hesitation, and used the little emperor's edict and the gold medal as tokens to persuade his father and grandfather.

No general wants his soldiers to die, and no general knows that there are traitors in the DPRK and China, but he still has to risk being calculated and expose everything in front of others.

The Min family has been loyal and good for generations and is dedicated to the country, but being able to lead the Zhenxi Army is not completely inflexible.

The previous precautions have now been confirmed, and the old Marshal Min is eager to enter the capital, expose Chen Sinian's wolf ambitions, and clean the monarch to be right.

But the barbarians were eyeing each other, and in order to guard the frontier and the safety of the people, he could only temporarily endure his anger and choose to stick to the border.

Jiangpu thunder last night, the spring city and the color is slightly cold, after the thunder, the spring is finally late, the sky is cold and the atmosphere of the capital is solemn.

No one knows what happened, but recently, there are often soldiers in armor patrolling the streets, and the Qinglou restaurant seems to smell something unusual and closes its doors temporarily.

Just after the harsh winter, the people are worried about the harvest of the coming year, worried that the ground will be too frozen, and the spring seedlings will not germinate.

The people are uneasy, the courtiers are not stable, and the recent unexpected calm in the court, Chen Sinian has been very calm recently, and he no longer fights with Fengyu. All this is too abnormal, so that these old foxes who have been in officialdom for a long time always feel that something big is about to happen.

There seem to be more people in Dongchang, and there are more people in Yiluansi, and the palace guards, Yulin army, and capital guards are also often walking around with perseverance.

This had never happened before, especially since the soldiers often patrolled the courtiers' mansions, intentionally or unintentionally.

Is something really going to happen? This is a cloud of doubt that floats in everyone's mind.

On the twenty-first day after spring, the glacier thawed, and the earth was faintly covered with a layer of green, and something happened in the southwest.

The wolf smoke rose, and tens of thousands of barbarian iron cavalry attacked the Great Perimeter Pass, rampant on the border of the Great Zhou.

Snow storms, bitter cold, wars, and the people found out in a hurry that everything was far worse than they imagined.

The military report was rushed to the imperial court for 800 miles, followed by the news of the victory of the barbarians and the defeat of the Zhenxi army. The most criticized thing is that the Zhenxi army fled almost without a fight, and after moving the people away, they almost did not resist much and retreated after a few failures, losing a city.

The civil and military officials, who had previously placed high hopes on the Zhenxi Army, were in an uproar, and even the common people in the capital did not dare to believe this war report.

The Zhenxi Army has been fighting against the barbarians for many years, and it is a well-deserved iron army, and they would rather die than give in to the iron cavalry that blocks the barbarian attack with their flesh and blood.

Such an iron-blooded army actually showed defeat at the beginning of the war, is it really the day to destroy my Great Zhou.

The atmosphere became more and more solemn, the armor of the capital was tight, and the people began to fear, if the Zhenxi army was defeated all the way, would the barbarians go all the way north to attack the capital.

The war continued, and after successive defeats, the Zhenxi army finally barely stabilized its footing, relying on natural dangers and barbarians to resist the war.

The atmosphere in the court was a little looser, and the people had just breathed a sigh of relief when another thunderclap exploded.

There are border soldiers who rushed for 800 miles, ran to the capital with a scar to sue the emperor, accusing the Min family of colluding with the barbarians, collaborating with the enemy and treason, ignoring the safety of the people, for the sake of gold, silver, jewelry and interests, betraying the border map to the Luotu tribe, and at the same time deliberately commanding mistakes and losing the battle one after another.

With the accusation of blood and tears, the Min family was pushed to the cusp, and the Zhenxi army was indeed defeated and retreated, which did not match the previous heroic image, so the voices of doubt in the DPRK and China were frequent.

Chen Sinian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, he took out the more comprehensive and shocking evidence of the Min family's rebellion, and pointed out that Feng Yuzhu, the director of the Yiluan Division, was also involved in collusion with the Min family, and at the same time generously stated how he had been retaliated against and framed by them in the past half a year because he discovered the scandal of Feng Yuzhu and Min Ze and others.

Under Chen Sinian's accusation, he seems to have become a hero who has suffered all kinds of grievances for the safety of the country, while Feng Yuzhu and Min Ze have become heinous traitors who have sold their fame and reputation to the enemy and treason.

The development of events was so unexpected that the courtiers didn't know who to believe, could it be that they misunderstood Chen Sinian, he turned out to be a loyal minister?

But Feng Yu stopped being a clear pro-emperor party, and there was no place to cross it, and the majority of the people in the court believed in his innocence, so there was a fierce debate in the court because of the Min family and Feng Yuzhu's loyalty, treachery, good and evil.

The spring rain fell, and in the Kunning Palace, the dead trees were new, and the glazed tiles were as clean as new.

After the little emperor went down to court, his face was gloomy as water, and under the escort of the palace people, he came to the Kunning Palace and asked the Queen Mother for peace.

Gu Xiaoxiao was grinding in the study, and when she learned that the little emperor was coming, she folded the letter she had written earlier, and ordered the palace people to bring the little emperor to the study.

(I'm so tired from today's activities, I almost suffered from heat stroke, I'm afraid that I can't write when I get home at night, and I guess I'll have to wait for Saturday and Sunday.) (To be continued.) )
