Chapter 958: Seize power
Time back to August, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, was implicated in the "Beiyi Military Camp Incident", which caused the four princes of Yongwang, Xiangwang, Qingwang and Suwang to be impeached. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of this incident, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and his brother Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, fell out of harmony, and after a quarrel with each other, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, left Daliang with Zhou Yu and all the Zongwei, and went to Anyi to start rectifying the Northern First Army.
After coming to Anyi, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, listened to Zhou Yu's suggestion, pretending that the imperial court wanted to investigate the "Beiyi Military Camp Xiao Incident", removed the functions and powers of all generals in the army, and appointed Zhang Wei, Li Meng, Fang Shuo, Gong Liangyi, Du Jian and other Zongwei as generals, secretly broke up the original establishment system of the Northern First Army, quickly reorganized the army, and promoted a series of middle and low-level officers.
Due to the bad nature of the "Beiyi Military Camp Incident", so that at the beginning of the actions of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, the various aristocratic families behind the army did not dare to resist, and quietly accepted the so-called review of His Royal Highness King Huan.
But gradually, these aristocratic families felt that something was wrong, because the actions of His Royal Highness King Huan did not seem to be tracking down the truth of the Yingxiao incident, but grabbing power - to track down the truth of the Yingxiao incident, can they use the soldiers to promote a series of generals?
So, all the aristocratic families united and came to the handsome tent with great momentum, ready to ask Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.
At this time, the Northern First Army was no longer the dominant party of the East Palace, because many nobles of the family secretly changed their doors and defected to the disciples of King Yong.
These people are now fearless, after all, the current pattern of the court, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, has lost power, and King Yong Hongyu is in charge of the country, in this case, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, this "little deputy marshal", what can he change?
And at this time, Zhou Yu stood up and said with a laugh: "How can His Royal Highness King Huan be a member of the East Palace?" If you say that His Royal Highness King Huan is a member of King Su's family, then Zhou still believes a little. ”
This sentence made the faces of those who seemed to have eaten Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, suddenly change, and they realized that the Royal Highness of King Huan in front of them was the younger brother of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.
After that, Zhou Yu made another killing move - he took out the real account book, which made the faces of many representatives of aristocratic families who came to question pale.
After all, once upon a time, among the aristocratic representatives sitting in the tent at the moment, many of them had secretly asked Zhou Yu for the war profits in the northern frontier, and these people, even if most of them have now switched to Yongwang Hongyu, as long as Zhou Yu handed over the fake account book with the receipts of some of them to the imperial court, even Yongwang Hongyu could not keep these people.
Zhou Yu smiled and said some threatening words, bluffing most of the people present turned pale: "The truth of the Yingxiao matter, this kind of thing does not need to be investigated at all, as long as Zhou Mou hands over the two account books to the imperial court, the imperial court will immediately understand, who are behind this matter, and what kind of ideas have been made...... Tut-tut, look at these receipts, the terms and conditions are clearly written, and there are some people on the verge of signing them by themselves. …… Like this one. ”
He took out a receipt from the fake account book, and after scanning it, he looked at a noble general present with a smile and said, "Yi's ...... I heard that the "Chenling Yi Clan" has secretly changed the court and defected to King Yong, but can His Royal Highness King Yongwang keep your "Chenling Yi Clan"? ”
When the noble general of the Chenling Yi clan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Yu, you are a bloody squirting person, I have never participated in the affairs of Yingxiao!" On that day, I fought the fire with the Wang clan and many other generals to quell the chaos......"
"Who can testify?" Zhou Yu interrupted the noble general's words, turned his head to look at Wang Yu, the uncle of Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, and the head of the Zhengcheng Wang family, and asked, "Can the Wang family testify?" ”
Wang Yu glanced at the noble general, and said lightly: "The old man is dizzy, I didn't see this person who participated in the firefighting to calm the chaos in the camp that night. ”
"You ......" The noble general was angry in his heart, and said that I was standing beside you that night, and you old horseman actually said to me today that you didn't see it?
However, he also understood why Wang Yu said this, just because he was a member of the East Palace Party at the beginning, and now, his family "Chenling Yi Clan" has changed its door and defected to King Yong Hongyu, so how can Wang Yu, as a member of the East Palace Party, help him? This old man will only fall into the well.
Thinking of this, the noble general exhaled viciously and said to Zhou Yu: "Okay, okay, I admit it." …… What do you want? ”
Hearing this, Wang Yu said in a sinister manner: "Mr. Zhou, the matter is already very clear, the Chenling Yi clan covets the war profits in the northern Xinjiang and conspires to camp Xiao, this crime is like complicity in rebellion, and when the court is played, the clan is punished by rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”
Hearing this, the Yi noble general rose up and scolded angrily: "Wang Yu Pifu, you are spewing blood!" ”
At this moment, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, everyone, don't be impatient, this king believes that General Yi is by no means a chaotic minister and thief, but General Yi wrote this receipt at the beginning, which is really suspicious...... It's better to go home first, wait for the king to find out about the matter, and give General Yi an innocence in the future. ”
This has been made very clear: you handed over the military power to me and left the Northern First Army, and I am not to blame for the past, and this matter is over.
The aristocratic general surnamed Yi looked at Zhou Yu, who was smiling and groaning, and Wang Yu, who was full of cold faces, and then looked at Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and finally could only accept the latter's suggestion: "In the next ...... I am willing to obey the arrangements of His Royal Highness King Huan. ”
"What about the rest?"
Zhou Yu raised the fake account book in Yang's hand.
Many of the generals present glanced at each other and did not speak again, which was regarded as acquiescing to the suggestion of Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.
At this time, a general surnamed Chen stood up and said with a sneer: "I can understand it, the East Palace has lost power, His Royal Highness King Huan wants to take this opportunity to take charge of the Northern First Army alone, and Wang Yupifu in order to take revenge on us and others who changed to King Yong, he does not hesitate to hand over his military power, and also wants to drive us out of the Northern First Army...... Well, the last general didn't covet that share of the war at the beginning, and he didn't leave any handles, I don't know how His Royal Highness King Huan will arrange the last general? ”
Zhou Yu gave Zhao Hongxuan a look and signaled him not to speak for the time being, and then, he flipped through the fake account book, and sure enough, there was no receipt from the general.
However, Zhou Yu's face did not change, and he said lightly: "Ah, this is really troublesome." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth raised a sneer, and he turned to the noble general of the Yi clan and said, "General Yi, in fact, you and this General Chen had an agreement in private, and among the generals and leaders here, many people know about this matter, right?" ”
The Yi noble general looked at Zhou Yu in amazement, and then he seemed to understand something, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, Yi promised General Chen Li that I would advance and retreat together!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the aristocratic generals who had been pinched by Zhou Yu also echoed their words, and the general named Chen Li was dumbfounded.
These people are not willing to help Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu's meaning has been made very clear: Either you help me get him away, or our previous agreement will be null and void, and you are ready to be exterminated because of rebellion.
In this case, among the people who belonged to the Donggong Party at the beginning and now switched to King Yong, no matter who jumped out, General Yi and others could only insist on this person.
As a result, all the generals of the original Donggong Party were out, and only the Yongwang Party and the Xiangwang Party remained.
The Yongwang Party is easy to deal with, after all, their buttocks are not clean, if it weren't for the death of the general Cui Xie, the generals of the Yongwang Party are likely to be found to be the real culprits of the Yingxiao incident, therefore, no one dares to fight Zhou Yu and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, at this time.
As for Liu Yi of the Xiangwang Party, when Zhou Yu intentionally or unintentionally hinted that he killed Cui Xie, he chose to compromise and was willing to hand over the military power, after all, if Zhou Yu confirmed that it was he Liu Yi who killed Cui Xie, this would be very fatal, not only Liu Yi would not have a good end, but also implicate King Xiang.
So, with the help of Zhou Yu, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, successfully took over the military power of the Northern First Army and truly became the commander of the Northern First Army.
In this regard, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, is very grateful to Zhou Yu and Wang Yu for their help, although he also understands that Zhou Yu and Wang Yu help him actually has selfish intentions.
Wang Yu was to take revenge on those former Donggong Party nobles who switched to Yongwang Hongyu, thinking that these people had betrayed the crown prince Zhao Hongli, so when he learned that Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, intended to get the military power of the Northern First Army, he did not hesitate to hand over the military power, and also made those betrayers unable to stay in the Northern First Army.
After all, after handing over the military power, he Zhengcheng Wang clan was greatly injured, but I believe that those betrayers are no better, and these betrayers are now the people on the side of King Yong's Hongyu, the greater the loss of these people, the more relieved Wang Yu's heart becomes.
Not to mention, Wang Yu had received many letters from Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, who instructed him to assist Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, in seizing the military power of the Northern First Army.
In this case, the Zhengcheng Wang clan naturally wanted to help King Huan, after all, although King Huan was the younger brother of King Su Zhao Hongrun, the latter had a very good relationship with Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace.
As for Zhou Yu, it was to take revenge on King Yongwang Hongyu and his staff Zhang Qigong.
It turned out that when he returned to Daliang a while ago, Zhou Yu wanted to try how Yongwang Hongyu would treat him, so he deliberately appeared alone in the restaurant in Daliang City, and was assassinated by several assassins.
As a result, Zhou Yu gave up on Yongwang Hongyu, because he knew that even if these assassins were not sent by Yongwang Hongyu, they must have been sent by the latter's staff Zhang Qigong, because he Zhou Yu knew a lot about the Yongwang Party.
As for today's Yizhu Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan, Zhou Yu is also to take revenge on Yongwang Hongyu, because if Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan does not come forward to seize power, the Northern First Army is very likely to be captured by Yongwang Hongyu, after all, the Donggong Party behind this army has long been fragmented, and the vast majority of people have changed their doors and joined Yongwang Hongyu.
