Final Chapter. 325. The Deserted Trap
Zhou Yuanqing has already said this, and Zhu Yuntao has finally come back to his senses. His Majesty's words came out, then the case of him killing several governors in a row would be considered to be gone! Moreover, in the future, the military affairs and people's livelihood of Bashu Road will be decided by himself; That is to say, from this moment on, he Zhu Yuntao has become a real prince and a foreign prince......
"Your Majesty...... The last general, the last general ......"
Zhu Yuntao was crushed by this trust as heavy as a mountain, and the last tense nerve was crushed; He choked up and couldn't speak; had to fall to his knees and knock his head nine times in a row; Then he stood up and wanted to turn away......
"Wait, I haven't finished my sentence yet...... This "little monkey", you can also take it back to Bashu Road; I am willing to bet once, I bet on you, and I wish Yuntao will never rebel. Tut-tut, Tang Fuquan, look at how well this child grows, tiger head and big eyes, festive and strong, my "little four" is also like this...... Zhu Yuntao, when he is old and weak, if you still want this son to serve the country, it is not too late to send him to my side. ”
"Your Majesty think twice! The last general has a heavy army, and it is inevitable that he will do such taboo things in the future...... What's more, His Majesty also said that it is not easy for Emperor Taizu to start a business...... You can't ...... This ......"
Zhou Yuanqing, who was young and young, looked at Zhu Yuntao, who was incoherent and emotional, and just shook his head with a smile......
Female, for the self-pleasing; Soldier, die for his confidant.
Zhu Yuntao, who was touched by the heart, finally still admonished each other with death, and insisted on leaving his only son under his knees to stay by the side of Emperor Tianyou to "serve". In fact, he did not do this out of a public heart: first, he wanted to repay the grace and trust of the Ming Monarch and the Holy Lord; Second, it is also because Bashu Dao is too sensitive and ruthless in his own methods, and he will inevitably make many enemies. No matter where there is a mistake, his family will be full of death, and not a single living mouth will be left; And leaving the child in Yanjing City, although it is inevitable to endure the pain of separation of flesh and blood, but at least for a baby, this is the safest place in the world.
Before the monarch and ministers separated, Zhou Yuanqing also asked Zhu Yuntao's opinion, hoping that his child Zhu Wenhan would become what kind of person he would become. Zhu Yuntao said to Zhou Yuanqing that he didn't want his child to be rich and rich, and he didn't want him to be a supreme minister or climb the dragon and attach the phoenix; As long as he keeps to his own reading and reasoning, and grows up to be an upright and kind ordinary person, it is enough.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, I wish Yuntao two fathers and sons when he comes, and two fathers and sons when he leaves; He left his son Zhu Wenhan in Beijing as a hostage, and also took away an abandoned baby as a trick. Emperor Tianyou thought about it for a few days, and then chose an ordinary family with a surname for Xiao Zhu Wenhan to adopt, and gave him a single name with the word "Qing".
Time flies, white clouds and dogs. Zhu Yuntao is busy with official business on weekdays, and naturally has no time to control the morality and homework of his only son "Zhu Wenhan"; As a result, this abandoned baby, who replaced the "righteous master", gradually grew into a gentleman with no one in his eyes and his eyes above the top under the indoctrination and inducement of those with ulterior motives. When Zhu Yuntao found out that this child had been lured astray, he also sent him to the Zhuhai Sword Pool to practice martial arts; I hope that through the hard work of physical and spiritual practice, he can be cut straight and finally tempered into a good piece of steel......
It's a pity that "Zhu Wenhan", who should have a bright future, died in the end. Because even if Shen Gui was not killed with that sword, with Zhu Dashao's temper and character, he would have embarked on this road of no return sooner or later......
This is a big net carefully compiled for the descendants of the Zhu family by the Red Clothes Army of Western Xinjiang, the Qin Wangfu, the Old Party of Northern Yan, the Huawai Barbarians and other forces; is just the real Zhu Yuntao, now Xiang Qing, who was saved by his father's foolishness and loyalty, and lived a plain life of poverty and tranquility......
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, when the wind and clouds in the Huayu continent are surging, the Tianyou Emperor who smells the smell of blood, finally remembered Xiang Qing, a little official who has been suffering from a cold reception but has a rich life.
Then, on the grounds that Xiang Qing risked his life to envoy Youbei, "prompting the two families to strike a truce and form an alliance again"; He was suddenly promoted to the second-rank governor and sent him back to Bashu Road to reunite with his biological father Zhu Yuntao......
Zhu Yuntao didn't want Emperor Tianyou to live a suspicious life in the future, so he put his son in Yanjing City, and unexpectedly took advantage of this move to continue the Zhu family's incense; And Zhou Yuanqing didn't want Xiang Qing to coerce Zhu Yuntao and didn't dare to betray the Northern Yan Dynasty; Only then did he send the right to choose again, that is, Zhu Wenhan, who was alias Xiang Qing, back to Bashu Dao, giving their father and son absolutely free choice.
This good story of the loyalty of the monarch and the courtiers will be revealed to the world in the future and will surely be remembered for a hundred years!
The old people of Beiyan all know that since the governor of Bashu Dao, Zhu Zhu, rode into Beijing alone to show his loyalty, he has won the favor of His Majesty, and it has reached the point of being completely defenseless. As everyone knows, the price of trust, Zhu Yuntao and Emperor Tianyou have already been secretly entrusted to each other.
Such a relationship has transcended the relationship between the monarch and the minister; It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a friend of life and death who is a family member.
Who said that the people of heaven have always been ruthless, but they don't pay lightly.
In fact, Zhu Yuntao's killing move was originally to tempt the red-clothed army in Western Xinjiang and the trap of Zhou Changfeng of Xin'an Hou. Because the Red Clothes Army at that time had completely controlled the entire Western Xinjiang; And he also wants to take advantage of the relationship between the three Qin lands to probe his tentacles into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
The geographical location of Bashu Road is unique, which has become the key to breaking the game.
As long as Zhu Yuntao does not defect for a day, then the battle line between Sanqin and the Red Army will be infinitely extended; Moreover, the vests and portals of the two armies were also exposed to Zhu Yuntao's attack range at all times. It's just that Emperor Tianyou was still young at that time, and he used too much force when he fell into the army, and he had not yet reached the point of perfection in the control of "degree". As a result, everyone in the world thought that after the murder of the governor, Zhu Yuntao became Emperor Tianyou's hardcore confidant; Trying to win him over to rebel is no less than a fool's dream.
Therefore, from the perspective of layout, this step to lure the enemy into depth can be regarded as being paid by Emperor Tianyou himself.
So when Zhu Yuntao turned back to Bashu Road safely, he was suddenly given a cold reception; In front of the originally lively house, now there are sparse cars and horses. Therefore, since then, the southwest border of Huayu Continent is still changing, but there has never been a trace of the participation of the Bashu people.
Zhu Yuntao was still a little anxious at first, looking forward to King Qin being able to win him over and show off with the court together. But Zhou Changfeng, who has the blood of King Qin, how tenacious is his mind? He didn't have Zhu Yuntao's full certainty, so he completely overturned the original plan and changed it to a long-term plan......
The old King of Qin died of grievance because of the "usurpation of the throne"; And in order to be safe, King Xiao Qin actually pushed the matter of raising troops to the time when he was about to go to rotten wood! Looking at the whole world, I'm afraid no one can be more calm than their men, right?
It wasn't until decades later, when the red-clothed army began to move, and the Qin army also scavenged for grain, grass and horses, that Zhou Yuanqing suddenly remembered this step of Bashu idle chess that had been idle for decades. I don't know that I used too much force back then, and I accidentally attached the fireworks; Has it been washed away by the long river of time?
In fact, Zhu Yuntao at this time had already made plans to live in Bashu Road for the rest of his life. With the growth of age and the accumulation of experience, Zhu Yuntao, who has lived here for a long time, also has his own judgment on the disaster in the southwest of the Northern Yan Dynasty. If he wants to calm the southwest half of the wall in one fell swoop, it is not a major event that he can handle single-handedly. There are many fish in the deep water here, and the undercurrent is turbulent, and once there is a few bad pools, it will stir up a stormy wave......
Therefore, whether it is King Qin, Emperor Tianyou, or even Zhu Yuntao, who originally did not know the depths, they all tend to have a competition of patience and strength. Moreover, Xin'an Hou Zhou Changfeng also has a unique advantage in this aspect......
But who knew that Shen Gui, a stunned young man, broke into the territory of Bashu Dao, and even killed the "fake Zhu Wenhan" casually, instantly breaking the deadlock between the two sides.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless; Although this "fake young master" was lured astray and turned into a complete waste; But even if it is a leper dog that has been raised for decades and is beaten to death by a passer-by for no reason, the family has to come out with a kitchen knife to ask for an explanation!
It's just that anger returns to anger, and hatred returns to hate; But in Zhu Yuntao's heart, the head of "Fake Zhu Wenhan" is the best ice-breaking stone.
The reason for the complete fall out between their monarchs and ministers is simply too natural!
At the beginning, Zhu Yuntao just adhered to a principle of immobility. No matter what price the other party offers, it will be increased by more than five times immediately; It shows a professional attitude of personal enmity to personal enmity and business to business.
And not long after, his own son Xiang Qing was appointed by Emperor Tianyou as the governor of Bashu Province and put him back to his side. Zhu Yuntao saw Xiang Qing's bearing and appearance, and then compared with the "top cylinder goods" with a different head, and felt comforted. The hatred for Shen Gui in his heart has long been thrown out of the clouds......
When Qin Jun was desperate and accepted Zhu Yuntao's lion's big mouth, he also planned to go to rescue Chen Ziling in person; But Xiang Qing, who didn't know his identity at the time, told him: If Zhu Yuntao went to the rescue in person, this matter would seem fake. Because of the current situation, Zhou Changfeng has a request for Bashu Road; And he and Zhou Changfeng are equals, and their identity and strength are at least on par; As a prince all the way, he would never risk his life to go on an expedition to save a slave-born commander of the Qin army.
And Zhu Yuntao also took into account that he was getting older and older, and if his son was going to take over, he would have to accumulate some excellent military merits. So, he sent Xiang Qing, who was powerless, to Chang'an City as an envoy to pretend to negotiate the details of cooperation. And Xiang Qing also relied on the clever tongue of the spring, based on the siege equipment that Qi returned to sell to Zhou Changfeng, and stirred up a rare heroic feeling of Zhou Changfeng, who had been stable for a lifetime. In the end, he also took out all the family funds at one time and handed them over to Xiang Qing for Chen Ziling to continue to squander......
Providence is unpredictable, and creation makes people. The father and son of the Zhu family have completed the inheritance of their will under such circumstances!
