Chapter Forty-Six: Departure (Part II)
"We found out that the people who attacked us in Qingzhou that day all had strange tattoo patterns, but neither I nor Shaohua's young apprentice had never seen them, and then I went to the master, but his old man was also unheard of and unseen, but the master said that it was likely to be a mysterious organization on the rivers and lakes, or even a killer organization." Yu Wenxuan continued.
"So we guessed that this must not have happened to be an ordinary robber and robber, because after all, with the flag of the Great Zhou and the military flag of the Black Feather Army, it is too late for the ordinary little thieves to hide when they see it, so it is an organized and premeditated attack, and there must be a high-ranking or powerful person behind them as a backing."
"The younger brother recalled countless times afterwards that no matter whether they wanted to assassinate or rob that day, if Princess Yue'er of the Sulphur Kingdom was injured in the slightest, it would destroy the harmony between the Great Zhou and the Sulphur Kingdom this time, and it would inevitably affect the anger of the lord of the Sulphur Nation and cause disputes between the two countries."
"Not to mention that my dynasty is strong, and I am not afraid of the sulfur country. But in the end, they are also relatively powerful among the various states in the northwest, and if they do go to war, they still need to put some thought into it. And once the war breaks out in the northwest, although the Black Feather Army is mainly responsible for our border defense towards the north and the east, but at that time, the imperial brother will definitely send his younger brother to lead the Black Feather Army stationed in the capital to suppress it, at that time, the capital will be relatively empty, and if there is another accident in the Yanyun area, the consequences will be unimaginable. The Bohai Kingdom has been eyeing the westward expansion for many years, and at that time we will be in a dilemma. ”
"The Lord of the Bohai Kingdom has been fierce and ambitious for several years, and their national strength and army strength are much stronger than those of the Sulphur Country, which is not easy to deal with."
As for why the younger brother associated this matter with the Bohai Kingdom, it was all due to two chance encounters and subsequent speculation. This is to say that not long after the younger brother came back from the south, one day he was in a tavern with Shaohua and Shaohua, and a person with a Yanyun accent came to talk, saying that his father was suffering from a stubborn illness and came to the capital to seek medical advice, but then I thought about it, and I felt more and more strange, how could there be a person's father who was seriously ill and had the heart to eat, drink and talk in the tavern. So I asked the British Duke to keep an eye out for suspicious people in the capital, but since that day I have never seen the man who claimed to be from Yandi. ”
"And the second thing, it happened not long ago. That day, I accompanied Yue'er to play in the capital, and we went to Hongxing Restaurant to have a snack, but at the same time, there were also King Rongjun and Sima Rui, the deputy chief soldier of Yanyun, who entered Beijing to report on their work, and others. But if you want to talk about old friends, there is nothing suspicious about it, but Yan Yun has always been sensitive, so the younger brother speculated in vain...... "Speaking of this, Yu Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Wenduan, what he wanted to say was only speculation after all, once there was something wrong with saying it, although he was the emperor's most favored prince, he would also have to bear a lot of pressure.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Yu Wenxuan signaled, Yu Wenxuan is pure by nature, he believes that his younger brother will never be framed indiscriminately, not to mention that King Rongjun is also the flesh and blood brother of the two of them, Yu Wenxuan has always attached importance to family affection, if he didn't have the bottom in his heart, he wouldn't stand here and say this today.
"When the first emperor was here, King Rongjun originally led soldiers to fight and held military power, but then he was suddenly changed by his father to a fictitious position with no real power, I believe that the original imperial brother knows better than me, so I won't explain much."
I suspect that there was collusion between King Rongjun and Deputy General Yan Yun, and even the Bohai Kingdom, and Yu Wenxuan still didn't say it after all.
"Xuan'er." Yuwenduan took a deep breath, he looked at the straight younger brother standing under the main hall, "Do you know what consequences you said today?" ”
"Xuan'er understands." Yu Wenxuan said in a low voice.
"Lao Qi's wolf ambition, the first emperor has long been aware of it." Yuwenduan sighed and said, "He was secretly trying to win over all forces, and after the matter was revealed, the first emperor warned him and kept him in the capital just to watch him." I didn't expect that it had only been so long, and now he came out like this again, but he was still too big, thinking that he was hiding it well, hmph, don't you know that he is the one who has been the most guarded in the past few months since I ascended the throne. ”
It turned out that the imperial brother knew everything, Yu Wenxuan sighed secretly. He has been away all the year round, and he has never liked to ask about political affairs, so he naturally doesn't know much about some details. But Yu Wenduan is different, he is the prince of a country, he is the prince, and he has always helped the first emperor deal with political affairs, so he knows Yu Wengong's deeds in the past few years and his later situation.
"It's just that I miss the brotherhood, and he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, so he can't just deal with it, and now, once the crime of organizing the attack and the pro-team is convicted, then he will really be in trouble." Yuwenduan's words reveal a strong majesty of the superior, he is really not a faint tyrant, on the contrary, he is a good emperor who is benevolent and generous, but for the great rebels who seek to usurp the throne, the practice since ancient times is to cut the grass and kill without forgiveness.
"Brother Huang, I'm afraid of ......," Yu Wenxuan thought for a while and said.
"I'm afraid he's the opposite, isn't it?" Yuwenduan said first, but his tone was still calm.
"Yes, if it is true that he colluded with Yanyun's deputy commander-in-chief, the total strength of Yanyun's area is also more than 100,000, and I only deployed 10,000 Black Feather troops in the east, and the remaining 40,000 are in the north to guard against the Turks. If he raises troops, even if all my 10,000 Black Feather troops are involved, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop them. "Yu Wenxuan is famous for loving soldiers like a son, he can say the words of taking in 10,000 Black Feather Army, his inner distress and sadness are self-evident, but in order to protect the imperial brother and protect the country, he has no choice but to do it, even if he sacrifices himself in times of crisis.
"And what's even more terrifying is that if that Sima Rui or some other person in power is the internal response of the Bohai Kingdom in our dynasty, then the internal and external ...... will be combined" Yu Wenxuan did not continue, but should talk about his other thoughts, "Brother Huang, you sent me to the south, and you also took the young apprentice Shaohua, if the king of Rongjun rebelled while we were not in the capital, I really couldn't rest assured that I didn't stay by your side." ”
"Silly boy, he wouldn't dare." Yuwenduan said lightly.
"Why?" Yu Wenxuan asked suspiciously.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, you're really smart and confused." Yuwenduan shook his head helplessly, and said with some disgust, "There are 50,000 Black Feather troops stationed in the capital, and there are 10,000 Praetorian Guards, which of these soldiers is not brave and good at fighting?" Even if he Yuwen Gong raised troops from Yanzhou, not to mention whether those border soldiers were willing to follow, even if they brought them all? This thousands of miles is a long way, and it's not enough for you to rush back from Jiangnan? Moreover, in addition to the defenders of the capital, the nearby Shuzhong, Xiliang, and Shanxi immediately sent troops to Qinwang, and the time was more than enough. Yu Wengong is also a shrewd person, and he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. ”
After listening to what Yu Wenduan said, Yu Wenxuan suddenly realized, he was really concerned about chaos, he was only worried about Yuwen Gong's rebellion in the past few days, but he did not calmly analyze the situation in the capital. As the capital of a country, Chang'an is naturally the highest security, and since Taizu chose to build the capital here, he naturally has his reasons. Moreover, after so many years of operation, all aspects must have been taken into account.
"Now relieved?" Yuwenduan asked with a smile.
"Relieved." Yu Wenxuan said.
"What you and I said today, there is no conclusive evidence, so the attack still has to continue to investigate, if you are not there, you will be handed over to Wei Chuan to be responsible, and the assistance of Dali Temple is enough. In addition, Yu Wengong also sent someone to keep an eye on it. As for my safety, you can rest assured that you have the local branch team you have trained. ”
"Brother Huang, I'll leave the Tiangan Group to you now, just in case." Yu Wenxuan proposed.
"Well, that's what you said." The two brothers Yuwen Duan and Yu Wenxuan looked at each other and smiled, and in an instant, the atmosphere also changed from the previous solemn and cold to gentle, "Let's go, go to the Imperial Garden with me to sit down?" ”
"No." Yu Wenxuan saluted and followed behind his brother, and the two left together.
