Chapter 0207: The Great War Is About to Begin
Outside the palace, Liu Heng's vision saw a soldier with a white head and a mourning belt.
At the forefront of this group of soldiers is Wei Weicheng, who Liu Heng once had a relationship with, the son-in-law of Wei Wei Worm, and a young man who will become a military giant in time: Qin Mu.
Behind Qin Mu, a coffin made of old wood quietly lay on the ground.
"In accordance with the decree of the Holy Son of Heaven, the lower officials and others will send the acting crown prince to return to his homeland, and I hope to mourn on behalf of the king."
Seeing Liu Heng's voice, Qin Mu's iconic loud voice suddenly resounded outside the main gate of the Dai Palace; Hearing this, the more than 100 soldiers also bowed slightly: "Mourn on behalf of the king." ”
Seeing this, Liu Heng turned around in surprise, and saw that at the main entrance of the dormitory, Empress Dowager Bo was standing indifferently; Even if he was more than a hundred steps away, Liu Heng seemed to clearly see the indifferent complexion on his mother's face.
- What the hell is going on?
Just when Liu Heng was entangled because of this unexpected scene, he saw Qin Muman walking up the stone steps with solemnity and coming to Liu Heng.
"Please also ask the acting king to find a secluded place, Your Majesty will explain something else to the acting king!"
The upper body leaned forward slightly, and said this 'whisper' as quickly as possible, Qin Mu returned to his normal appearance, and bowed deeply: "The matter of the acting prince, the lower officials deeply regret it..."
Looking at Qin Mu's appearance, Liu Heng understood the situation a little; Seeing Qin Mu glancing behind him with a dark gaze, Liu Heng finally reacted.
"Everyone is working hard, please enter the palace to rest for a while..."
Hearing this, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around, beckoned several soldiers from the coffin to enter, and immediately said loudly: "Stay in place!" ”
After waiting for the rest of the soldiers to form a small circle outside the palace of the king in an orderly manner, sit down cross-legged, and several soldiers on the periphery spontaneously act as sentry posts, Qin Mu faced Liu Heng again: "Xie Dai Wang." ”
·
"Dare to ask the general for advice, what is your majesty's explanation?"
In a secluded study, Liu Heng looked at Qin Mu in front of him with a serious face, and the surprise in his eyes slowly dissipated.
——Just now, Qin Mu took the soldiers who supported the coffin into the palace, and after Liu Heng specially prepared the 'mourning hall' in advance, he pushed the coffin away under Liu Heng's horrified gaze.
Liu Heng stepped forward in confusion, and saw his son Liu Qi lying in the coffin, his face pale.
After Qin Mu stepped forward and whispered something to his son, Liu Qi, who had a 'dead man' appearance a moment ago, immediately opened his eyes and saw Liu Heng's gaze, before he tentatively sat up from the coffin!
It wasn't until that moment that Liu Heng's heart finally landed...
Although in the end, Liu Qi temporarily lay back in the coffin under Qin Mu's suggestion, and spent the rest of his life in the coffin, but this was enough to make Liu Heng cry with joy, so he agreed to all the instructions brought by Qin Mu!
Hearing this, Qin Mu did not hesitate at all, took out a mud-sealed bamboo tube from his arms, and presented it to Liu Heng.
Took the bamboo tube, crushed the mud seal, took out a piece of wood in the bamboo tube, and looked at the number 'Mourning on behalf of the king's Day' written on it, Liu Heng raised his head in confusion and looked at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu seemed to have expected this, but as a result, the slender wooden board was broken from the edge and handed back to Liu Heng's hand.
In the missing corner of the wooden board, Liu Heng clearly saw a white silk, which was hidden in the wooden board.
——Uncle Wang hit it off at first sight...
※※※※※※※※※※※
When Qin Mu arrived at the palace of the Dai Wang in Jinyang City, the distant Suiyang finally ushered in a force destined to appear here: the army of King Qi!
Although it is said to be the army of the King of Qi, the court has already made a general determination about it: this rebellion was launched by the sons of the King of Mourning Hui led by Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Zhu Xu, and the King of Qi, who was only a decade old, was coerced by the King of Qi to order the Qi army.
If nothing else, the rebellion is finally suppressed, then Liu Ze, the king of Qi who was promoted by the rebel commander Liu Zhang, will not be affected by this rebellion, but will continue to be the prince king.
- To put it bluntly, the worst result is just to cut a few counties and seal the soil.
But for the rest of the people, it's not that simple.
Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang, just because of his status as a 'brother and sister of the mourning king', is enough to be painted as a 'disloyal' political color; in addition, about half a year ago, Liu Zhang almost 'rebelled' because of the outflow of materials from Shaofu, which made Liu Zhang have no way out at all.
For Liu Zhang, this rebellion must be successful!
Once he fails, Liu Zhang's end will be doomed; If someone must die in the end, that person must be Liu Zhang.
As for the other ten concubines in Prince Mourning, they didn't appear too much in the court's field of vision - those yellow-mouthed children, the youngest was only in his early tens!
Even Liu Zhang, the eldest of the sons of King Mourning, is only in his early twenties, just past the age of crowning.
As for whether this group of teenage and twenty-year-old little guys can succeed, the court actually looks at it with an unremitting attitude - Emperor Taizu Gao won the world, and that is after the age of fifty!
But as an insider, it is clear that the baby has a different view on the matter.
Standing on the wall of Suiyang, looking at the continuous military camps more than ten miles outside the city, Guan Ying let out a sigh of relief, and said to himself in a slightly gloomy tone: "Compared with the mourning king, the talent of Zhu Xuhou can be described as..."
Halfway through the words, the baby shook his head, and his face was full of pity.
Guan Ying understands very well that this incident is not so much an armed rebellion launched by the sons of King Mourning Hui against the Chang'an court, but rather an armed rebellion launched by Prime Minister Chen Ping and Marquis Zhou Bo against Emperor Liu Hong!
If this incident is described as a game of chess, then Prime Minister Chen Ping is undoubtedly the side that holds the white first, and the emperor Liu Hong is the passive one who holds the black.
And the rest of the people, whether it is Liu Zhang and other sons of the mourning king, or Liu Heng, the acting king, are actually just chess pieces in this game of chess.
Even the baby himself is actually a gray chess piece with a 'white' color.
In such a situation, no matter who the final victor is, Liu Zhang's ending, to be precise, the final outcome of the Qidi rebels, is actually doomed.
If Chen Ping wins, the situation may be slightly better: if Chen Ping's big net wants to surround Chang'an, he must join forces; Afterwards, Liu Zhang could at least obtain Chengyang or Jibei and other counties like the court's previous plan, and be the prince and king with peace of mind.
But everyone involved in this rebellion, including Liu Zhang and Liu Ze, the coerced king of Qi, is likely to be feared by the new emperor - such a group of people with a history of rebellion, but any normal person, will feel uneasy.
Just as the King of Mourning responded to the call to exterminate Zhulu, but he 'died of depression' within half a year after the matter was completed, Liu Ze, the king of Qi, Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Zhu Xu, and others probably couldn't escape such an ending.
If Emperor Liu Hong wins...
Inferring from the current situation, I really can't think of what Liu Hong needs to do to escape the big net that Chen Ping tailor-made!
Assuming that in the end, Liu Hong won the victory in an unbelievable way, Liu Heng, the king of Qi, and Liu Ze, the king of Qi, may be able to spend their lives in a cage, but Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Zhu Xu, will definitely become the funeral objects of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo!
Because of this, Guan Ying's mood at this time is much more solemn than when he 'greeted' the army of Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, half a year ago.
——In this situation of death in advance and retreat, Liu Zhang will definitely not sit still!
And Liu Zhang finally made and chosen, and all that the baby could imagine was ...
Raise the King of Qi!
If Liu Zhang really decided to be a 'minister of support', then this war would be much more complicated...
In order to verify his conjecture, the day before yesterday, Liu Zhang's army arrived outside Suiyang City, and when he set up camp twenty miles outside the city, he sent someone to contact Liu Zhang to find out the wind.
The final result made the baby suddenly nervous, and the original defensive line layout became compact for a while.
- Liu Zhang actually said that he would strictly abide by the prime minister's secret order and never fight outside Suiyang City; Wait for the news to come from Guanzhong, and then approach Chang'an with the infant army!
This is almost equivalent to confirming the speculation of the baby: Liu Zhang's plan, I am afraid that it is a chestnut in the fire, and in the struggle between Chen Ping and Liu Hongdi, he is waiting for the opportunity to win the possibility of lifting Liu Ze, the king of Qi, to the throne, or even sitting on the throne himself!
From this point of view, it is indeed possible for Liu Zhang, as he said, to 'develop peacefully' with Guan Ying on the front line of Suiyang before the exact news comes out in Guanzhong, pretending to be a 'confrontation posture.'
But when the news came out in Guanzhong, Liu Zhang was afraid that he would change his attitude one hundred and eighty degrees, and strive to enter the third-party chess player with this game of chess!
Long before the expedition, Guan Ying had already reached an agreement with Chen Ping: even if Guanzhong was successful, Guan Ying's task in this war was still to ensure that the Qi rebels could not enter Guanzhong!
Filling the baby is very sure, about this,
