Volume 4: Wolf Smoke in Shu Twenty: The princes leave Beijing, and the ministers choose the dragon

Taking advantage of the early morning when the sky was still cloudy, there was no one on the street, Yun Xingyan and Xu Mad rode their horses and galloped, and after a while, they came to the Vermilion Bird Gate, at this time Yun Qiancheng also waited early, he rode a rouge red dragon horse, a black robe, a sword hanging from his waist, carrying a folding spear, and there were ten horses behind him, each of them was ready to go, and they all listened to good hands from the breathing point of view, and the worst was also the strength of the Xuanjie small heavenly position, and Shangguan Li was also among the captains of Yun Qiancheng's guards......

These people are all a group of retainers who are surrounded by Yun Qiancheng, so it can be seen that even if the imperial court does not send a single soldier, Yun Qiancheng still has the confidence to take over the front-line military power with the eighteen Xuan-level masters in his hands, but Yun Xingyan's side is much shabby, with only one Xu Mad who does not know martial arts, which is really worrying......

At this time, Yun Qiancheng said: "Third brother, see if the sharp soldiers under the command of this king are brave?" Yun Qiancheng's move was intended to show his strength to Yun Zizhong and the ministers, and most of the people who came to see him off at this time were the generals of the Luoyang Army who were good friends with Yun Qiancheng, as well as a few eunuchs sent by Emperor Wu, at this time, Yun Xingyan was very disdainful of Yun Qiancheng's performance of showing off his muscles, and thought: Can you be? You're going to fight, right?

Despite such criticism in his heart, Yun Xingyan still said politely: "Well, all of you are brave, I was still worried about what to do if I encountered bandits along the way, there is a big brother and this guard, no matter what kind of bull ghosts and snakes he is, it is not enough to see it!" ”

Yun Xingyan's unwillful praise made Yun Qiancheng very useful, and said with a smile: "But the battle ahead is tight, and a slight delay will make the situation unfavorable, this king decided to run a long distance, take the official road and travel at night, and rush to Shu within three days, if you can keep up, then come!" Drive! ”

After saying that, Yun Qiancheng clamped the stirrup between his legs, and then pulled the reins upward, the red dragon horse immediately stood up with his feet off the ground, and then swished out of the Suzaku Gate, and the eighteen masters behind him also rode forward one after another, which made Yun Xingyan cry bitterly, and immediately hit the horse to keep up, don't you say, he is really afraid that someone will assassinate him, so following Yun Qiancheng is the best plan, even if in the end he goes to the front line of Qingcheng Mountain and goes to Guizhou by himself, but it is better to have someone to escort him along the way than to grope by himself......

At this time, in the Duanwang Mansion, a Yun Zizhong was wearing a royal robe of a four-clawed golden dragon, and was being served and washed by a maid, at this time, a slave ran in from outside the house, knelt down and said: "Lord Qiyu, the latest news has come from Commander Bai, all the elites under King Yu have been dispatched, and there are no less than fifteen masters of the Xuan Rank alone, and there are several Ground Rank masters, who have gone out of the city with Xuanping Hou!" ”

Yun Zizhong asked lightly, "What about Yun Tianqing?" Can you go to see it off? ”

The servant said, "I have never seen it in front of the Suzaku Gate!" ”

"Got it, tell White Phoenix to withdraw it, the original assassination plan has been canceled!"

After the order was completed, Yun Zizhong stood up, looked at the appearance of an emperor in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction, now everything is ready, the subordinates are intimidated, just wait for the election of Chen's fashion study to begin, then he will win half of it!

"Yun Qiancheng, Yun Qiancheng, even if you have military achievements, this king is not afraid of you! Come on, prepare the car, let's go! ”

Yun Zizhong walked out of the mansion and got into the carriage, and came to the outside of the imperial city in a majestic manner, and the princes who supported him were also dressed in court clothes, and they were all full of energy, as if Yun Zizhong could ascend the throne and become the emperor today......

In the study, the faces of the ministers were full of heavy hearts, or scared, or worried, and on the table in front of them, there was a small boxy wooden box, and I saw Twilight Zhenghao sitting in front of the wooden box and said, "Everyone is here?" Let's get started! ”

Twilight Zhenghao gave an order, led by Guo Shouqian, and the officials who supported Yun Zizhong put their ballots into it, and Qu Changning also snorted coldly, and the military attachés who had been discussed before also cast their votes in it, and after the voting was completed, Twilight Zhenghao and the four ministers in charge of the Feng Pavilion, including himself, began to separate the ballots one by one, and after seeing that there were more than 150 votes in support of Yun Zizhong, Du Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief, and then made it easier for Li Zhangyi and Li Zhongtang of the Feng Pavilion to go to face the saint together......

At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor Yunwu was obviously waiting for the results of the election, and after the two ministers entered the imperial study, they first bowed and knelt down as usual, and then Emperor Wu waved his hand and said: "Everything is simple, let's talk about it, what is the result of the election......"

The two ministers glanced at each other, and Du Zhenghao opened the booklet and read: "Election results, Duanwang, one hundred and fifty votes, Yuwang, forty votes, Wu'an Hou, ten votes, Xuanping Hou, ten votes,......" read from high to low, until the end there was no result that Emperor Wu wanted to hear, but it was Duanwang's one hundred and fifty votes that shocked Emperor Wu, and said: "What? There are only 250 officials in Beijing, and Duanwang accounts for more than half? ”

Emperor Wu was a little incredulous, but at this time, Du Zhenghao said: "Your Majesty, this shows that His Royal Highness King Duan is the god of literature and saint martial arts, inheriting the unification, and the person who should be the virtuous name of the Tianhe people, if King Duan is the crown prince, it is really a blessing for a hundred officials, and a blessing for the world......"

Twilight Zhenghao looked at Li Zhangyi at this time with a look that the overall situation had been decided, the two were the prime ministers of the left and right, and he had persuaded this middle-aged man to judge the situation and jointly play Yun Zizhong as the prince with himself, but this kid has not been angry, but fortunately, all the officials respect Yun Zizhong, and Li Zhangyi's joint performance is the icing on the cake, but without him, Li Zhangyi can't affect the overall situation! Twilight Zhenghao thought to himself: Boy, you are still a little tender, it is better to wait for the price and sell, you are still too hesitant!

Just when Du Zhenghao was complacent, Emperor Wu was unhappy, and immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "What is it? Aren't there so many officials who have a letter to protect the second prince Yun Luotian? Being abruptly asked by Emperor Wu, Du Zhenghao was taken aback, but he still said in a clever manner: "Your Majesty, there is, but they are all officials of the party who abolished the prince, and it is a great crime of rebellion to assassinate the prince, so their twists and turns are not counted......"

Twilight Zhenghao's prevarication was obviously not enough to satisfy Emperor Yunwu, and at this time, the ministers in the imperial study were also angry, but Qu Changning said: "Twilight Xiang, Your Majesty asked if you have anyone to protect the second prince, you are not answering what you asked......

Qu Changning's words pushed Du Zhenghao to the forefront of the storm, and at this time, if Du Zhenghao couldn't say one, two, three, I was afraid that he would really become Yun Zizhong's friend, so Du Zhenghao scolded: "Qu Changning, you old thief, now you are the direction of the hundred officials to the people, what kind of heart do you have to fiddle with right and wrong in front of Your Majesty?!" I heard that Gou is the military officer you protected, right?! I kind of get it, you're just a villain, and you're still talking about it here!! ”

After saying that, Du Zhenghao looked at Emperor Yunwu, knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of these national thieves, my big cloud will never have peace......

"You ......"

Qu Changning was scolded by Du Zhenghao like this, and he was also anxious, and said: "Du Zhenghao, how can you be allowed to roar the court here in front of Your Majesty?" I think you're a traitor! The enchanting king bewitched the ministers, thinking that he could cover the sky with one hand after setting up a little skill! Your Majesty, most of those who support King Duan are the protégés of Lord Dusk, if you don't investigate it strictly, I'm afraid that you will be the next old thief of Wei Ran, Your Majesty! ”

The two of them have their own reasons, and Emperor Wu was obviously annoyed by the noise, slapped the table and got up, and said: "They are all ministers of my society, what is the noise, shut up for me!" Emperor Wu scolded, and the two of them suddenly didn't dare to say much like a mouse seeing a cat, and Emperor Wu's gaze swept over the six Shangshu like lightning, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Zhangyi's body, and said, "Li Qingjia, what do you have to say?" ”

At this time, the eyes of the ministers looked at Li Zhangyi, who was usually inconspicuous, but he seemed to have been prepared, with a confident look, he took out a copy of the fold from his arms, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are stupid, so they wrote down everything they wanted to say, and asked Your Majesty to take a look!" ”

What a Li Zhangyi, his move is undoubtedly the most pandering to Emperor Wu's heart, as for what is written on the fold, we will break it down next time!
