Chapter 615: Discord Meter
Due to the death of Niu Cunjie and the loss of Zhengzhou, Zhu Wen was not as addicted to flowers as before and began to deal with government affairs in person.
This time, Zhu Wen had a lot less time to go to the palace to wait for the concubine.
The first thing Zhu Wen did when he returned to power was to recall Ge Congzhou and put him in charge of defending Bianzhou.
At the same time, Zhu Youwen was also called back.
As for the battle of Zhongwu, let Zhang Guiba be responsible.
Zhu Wen regained his strength, which also made some Xuanwu old ministers feel gratified, although the situation is now very unfavorable to Daliang, but Daliang's territory has not decreased.
At present, Daliang still controls the four towns of Xuanwu, Zhongwu, Tianping, and Wuning, and half of Yihua and Weibo are also under the control of Daliang.
Now the two major tribes of Hexi are attacking Hexi, as long as they hold on, it is not known who will kill the deer.
In order to defend Bianzhou, Zhu Wen also fought hard, and transferred 150,000 troops from several towns, nearly half of which were newly formed.
Bianzhou is the capital of Daliang, and Zhu Wen naturally has to defend it with all his might.
However, at this time, news suddenly came that Zhu Yougong had close contacts with Cui Anqian in private.
"What does this rebel want to do? Is this a rush to change the court? Zhu Wen said angrily.
"Father, the son thinks that he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't. If Yougong really plans to take refuge in the Tang Army, the situation will be even more unfavorable to my Liang at that time. Zhu Youwen naturally will not let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground.
"Your Majesty, this may be the Tang Army's discord plan! King Ji is loyal to His Majesty, and he has made many military exploits before, and he hopes that His Majesty will consider it carefully before verifying the authenticity. Jing Xiang hurriedly persuaded.
"Tonmi, what do you think?" Zhu Wen looked at Ge Congzhou.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is also necessary to consider carefully, Xuzhou is very important to my beam, if it is true as in the letter, it will be harmful to my beam." According to Ge Congzhou's original intention, he naturally would not get involved in this imperial power struggle, but Zhu Youwen showed favor many times, he didn't say that he was completely on Zhu Youwen's side, and he wouldn't help Zhu Yougong.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is better to believe that it is better to believe that it is not!" Liu Feng also took the opportunity to say.
"What? Is it because of this trivial matter that I killed Yougong? "Zhu Wen didn't have a good air.
"Father, the son didn't mean this, he was just worried about the safety of Xuzhou." Zhu Youwen explained.
"Humph!" Zhu Wen glared at the other party, he didn't know the other party's plan yet.
"Your Majesty, if you can, the minister suggests that the king of Ji be transferred back from Xuzhou and send another loyal person to garrison Xuzhou." Jing Xiang suggested.
Zhu Wen was obviously suspicious, and Zhu Yougong had been away for a long time, and Zhu Wen was also worried that the other party would really betray him.
But killing Zhu Yougong is also a little inappropriate.
"That's it, bring that rebel back." Zhu Wen commanded.
Seeing that Zhu Wen could not get Zhu Wen to get rid of Zhu Yougong, Zhu Youwen was also a little disappointed, and when he left the palace, he couldn't help but complain to Ge Congzhou.
"Ge Shuai, why don't you suggest getting rid of Zhu Yougong? Such a great opportunity. ”
"Your Highness, this is for Your Highness's sake. At present, it seems that His Royal Highness has returned to Bianjing, but Bianjing still has His Royal Highness King Ying. Even if King Ji can be removed, it will be difficult for His Royal Highness to become the crown prince, and if someone takes the opportunity to say bad things in front of the saint, the saint may not like it.
At present, the saint is still in the prime of life, and now the beam is constantly suffering from external troubles, and there should be no internal strife at this time. Ge Congzhou explained.
Ge Congzhou's answer did not satisfy Zhu Youwen, in his opinion, Ge Congzhou was making peace with the mud.
I took the initiative to show favor to the other party more than once before, but I didn't expect the other party to be on my side.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youwen was a little angry, so he brushed his sleeves away.
Ge Congzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly, why did Zhu Wen's righteous sons know the general situation so much?
If Zhu Youyu hadn't died, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been this situation.
It's a pity that a good successor was killed by Zhu Wen himself.
Zhu Wen was in poor health on the grounds that he transferred Zhu Yougong.
Zhu Yougong thought that Zhu Wen wanted to explain the future, so he wanted to rush back immediately, so as not to be taken advantage of by Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youqi.
"Does Your Highness really think that the Holy One is seriously ill?" Seeing that Zhu Yougong planned to rush back to Bianzhou, the staff began to persuade each other.
"What? Isn't it? If the father is really seriously ill, if this king goes back late, won't he let King Bo and King Ying take advantage? Zhu Yougong only had a storage position in his heart at this time, and he didn't think much about it at all.
"Your Highness forgot, the Holy One is now in the prime of life, how can he be seriously ill?" Said the staff.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yougong hesitated.
"The Holy Lord already knows the private contact between His Highness and Tang Jun, and it is the secret of King Bo!"
"How is that possible? How does he know? And this king did not accept the persuasion of the Tang army to surrender! Zhu Yougong said confidently.
"Obviously, King Bo has placed people around His Highness. And even if His Highness did not accept the surrender of the Tang Army, would the Holy Lord believe it? The saint was very suspicious.
This time, King Bo deliberately slandered His Royal Highness, and there was the shadow of King Ying behind him, and the lower officials could be sure. This time, His Royal Highness returned to Bianjing, and it is very likely that he will not return.
After His Highness was defeated in Yanzhou and lost his troops, the Holy Lord was already dissatisfied with His Highness.
His Royal Highness, who has no military power and no holy grace, what can he do to compete with King Bo and King Ying? At that time, if the Tang army really breaks through Bianjing, will His Royal Highness, as the royal family of Daliang, be able to escape? I hope Your Highness will think twice! ”
Zhu Yougong hesitated a little, if this was really the case, then he really had no way out. But his wife and children are all in Bianzhou, if he joins the Tang Army now, what will happen to his wife and children?
"But what about the princess? If this king had taken refuge in the Tang army at this time, wouldn't they have been able to escape death? Zhu Yougong said worriedly.
"Your Highness, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it! Is His Royal Highness's life important, or is the princess important?
His Royal Highness is still young, and he can marry and have children again. But if His Royal Highness loses his life, the princess and her life are also lost. ”
Zhu Yougong hesitated for a while, although he deliberately sent his princess into the palace, his feelings for the princess were still quite deep.
"No, this king can't watch the princess send them to death. And I don't know if this news is true or false, this king can't make decisions so hastily! Zhu Yougong was still a little ruthless.
"Your Royal Highness can completely let Tang Jun find a way to rescue the princess and them, they have the ability." The staff made another suggestion.
Zhu Yougong still vetoed it, because this was the temptation of the storage position, and he didn't believe that Zhu Wen would kill him.
So he sent someone back to Bianzhou to find out the news, but he was looking for an excuse to delay the trip.
If he loses his storage position because of inaccurate information, he is not reconciled!
And at this time, indecision is often harmful to others and to oneself.
