Chapter 0386: The War Resumes, and the World Begins to Move (7)
In the battle of Yinhu Mountain, the world shook, and the court of the Celestial Empire became even more panicked. Is it the exhaustion of the Heavenly Dynasty's qi, or is the Silver Tiger Mountain really so powerful.
When the emperor heard the news of the annihilation of Tan Zhao's army, he was stunned that a generation of emperors was also so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
20,000 people, and 20,000 soldiers directly under the imperial capital of Chang'an, were so easily annihilated by a group of bandits.
The northern Turks are constantly harassing the borders of the Celestial Empire, and the Turks are looking for a suitable opportunity to attack the Celestial Empire.
The emperor of the Celestial Empire, Ye Yunlong, wanted to get the support of the Tubo State or form an ally, so he sent the Tubo prince back to China. Ouyang Jing also did not return for a long time, which made the emperor deeply worried.
Tan Zhao is also a senior veteran, he was defeated so badly, coupled with the last Wumen Rebellion, it can be said that it hurt the hearts of many generals, where is there anyone in the court who dares to stand up and speak at this moment.
If there is anyone who can fight with him, it must be Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang. But at this moment, Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, was silent, he knew that his imperial brother was a person, and it was at this time of crisis that he couldn't take the initiative to ask for help.
The emperor never knew that the king of Luoyang had a strategy to conquer the battlefield, but because of this, he was even more jealous of the king of Luoyang.
Wang Si would not let go of the opportunity at this moment, he took the initiative to recommend his son-in-law Chu Liuyun.
Although Chu Liuyun is part-time the deputy commander of the forbidden army, he has no real power at all, and he is decent and cautious in Chang'an these days. The emperor and the crown prince were also less wary of Chu Liuyun.
However, Chu Liuyun has also been waiting, waiting for an opportunity, and now the opportunity is finally coming.
Because the emperor ordered to summon the soldiers and horses of all states and counties, but all the states and counties seemed to see through the situation, and they all shirked one after another, either the natural disasters and man-made disasters were not harvested, and they could not recruit soldiers at all, or the last western expedition was too much attrition, only enough to defend the city, and even worse, the road was too far, and the supply of grain and grass was shirked.
The emperor finally felt panicked, the power of the state and county was too great, and it had always been a big stone in his heart, there used to be a state and county proton, and the states and counties could still be polite and respectful, but now they don't even have the last power to clamp down.
In order to redeem the emperor's authority, Yinhu Mountain must be destroyed, and all states and counties must see that the imperial court still has strength.
Fang Jue knew about the Chu family's plan and immediately wrote a letter, but he couldn't report it with his real name. The letter arrived in Chang'an, but it could not be delivered to the crown prince Ye Hongyin at all. These days, the guards of the Chang'an Imperial City are very tight, and for the safety of the palace, in addition to the summons, trespassers will die.
The emperor finally issued an order to seal Chu Liuyun as a general for conquest, but only gave Chu Liuyun 5,000 men and horses.
"Five thousand people, this emperor is really stingy enough, but these five thousand people are enough."
The corners of Chu Liuyun's mouth moved slightly, and there was a conspiracy in that smile.
It was only after the emperor issued an order that Qiao Xiaoyue risked death to enter the palace to see the prince. This is also why Bai Qiwan was so helpless that he thought of asking Qiao Xiaoyue for help, because he knew that if it was too late, something big would happen.
After the crown prince Ye Hongyin saw the letter, he immediately met his father, but it seemed that everything was still a step too late.
Before the emperor could retract his will, the Imperial City Praetorian Guard sent a report.
"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, someone has broken into the palace."
Breaking into the palace, this was the first time since the Celestial Empire, and the emperor and the crown prince were immediately stunned.
"What nonsense are you talking about, who is so bold?"
Emperor Ye Yunlong is the emperor of heaven, and nothing can knock him down.
"Yes, it's the Forbidden Army..."
The forbidden army broke into the palace, this is a strange news, the emperor and the crown prince immediately thought of it, of course, it was Chu Liuyun.
It is naturally impossible for five thousand people to dare to break into the palace, but Chu Liuyun has not been in vain in Chang'an these years, and he has already secretly bribed the generals in charge of the palace guards.
Chu Liuyun used the reason that an assassin had broken into the palace, and he had a talisman in his hand, so the forbidden army under his command was naturally convinced.
Entering the palace to protect the king, no matter what is in the way, Chu Liuyun finally showed his iron-blooded ruthless side, success or failure in this move, success is a big thing, and failure is a catastrophe.
Chu Liuyun only killed the rebels, but did not harm the harem. His purpose was not to kill the emperor, if the emperor died, the situation in the world was not something he could control.
"Chu Liuyun, I treat you well with my father, why are you like this?"
The crown prince Ye Hongyin had some royal momentum, and in the face of Chu Liuyun leading troops to besiege him, he did not show fear and panic.
"The emperor did take me not thin, this Tanzhao 20,000 people were lost in Yinhu Mountain, but you only gave me 5,000 people, this is what you call not thin?"
Of course Chu Liuyun had to find an excuse, he just wanted to get what he wanted, of course, this had to be that the emperor was still alive.
Chu Liuyun threatened the emperor with the life of the crown prince, and appointed him Chu Liuyun as the general of the forbidden army and the commander of the world's soldiers and horses.
Emperor Ye Yunlong only has such a son, and he knows that every decision he makes now is related to the future of the Celestial Empire. Jiangshan can fight back if he loses, but if his son dies, it will really ruin the future of the Celestial Empire.
The emperor had no choice but to agree. Chu Liuyun immediately sent his henchman Yao Qi to take over the Celestial Forbidden Army. And Chu Liuyun sent forbidden troops to garrison the exits of various gates in Chang'an, his purpose was not only to control the palace, but to take the entire Chang'an City.
"It's a different day."
A huge thunder exploded, and Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, knew that the Chu family had taken control of the palace.
Tan Yunshu put on a dress for Ye Yunchang, and she also understood what happened in Chang'an.
"The royal brother is shrewd, and even his own brother has not forgotten to calculate, but now he has made a wedding dress for others."
Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, smiled bitterly, the emperor has been wary of him everywhere over the years, but he has not been able to guard against outsiders.
Chu Liuyun acted resolutely, coercing and seducing Chang'an. Holding the Son of Heaven in his hand and taking charge of Qiankun, this is his dream in this life, and he has been dormant in Chang'an for so many years, and he is finally about to come true.
"You are blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you are so bold."
Wang Si finally couldn't help it, and wanted to give Chu Liuyun a slap in the face, it was he who recommended Chu Liuyun to take charge of the army, and it was he who personally married his daughter to him. From an inconspicuous proton, under his cultivation, he pushed Chu Liuyun to a high position step by step. Now Wang Si has fallen into the point of unkindness, injustice and disloyalty, Wang Si is very yearning for power, but he has never thought of betraying the Celestial Empire.
Chu Liuyun's cold gaze suddenly let Wang Si's raised hand down, he had never seen such murderous in Chu Liuyun's eyes.
Wang Si suddenly realized that everything had changed, and the Chu Liuyun in front of him was no longer the obedient son-in-law he used to be, maybe never would be.
Chu Liuyun dared to do such a move, so thorough and flawless, presumably this Chu Liuyun City Mansion was so deep, Wang Si also sighed to himself.
"Well, it looks like I'm getting old."
Wang Si knew very well that the situation was pressing, even if he tore his face with Chu Liuyun, what could he do, he had been tied to the boat by the Chu family, and he could no longer retreat with his whole body.
"The major affairs of the DPRK and China have to be assisted by my father-in-law."
Chu Liuyun knew that Wang Si didn't dare to turn his face with him, so it was considered a compromise with Wang Si. Now that he is newly in power, he still needs the assistance of Wang Si's forces.
Chu Liuyun just said a few words to Wang Si and left, without even entering his wife's room, let alone leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion without leaving a word.
Chu Liuyun used to bow down in front of Wang Wan'er, just to curry favor with Wang Si, now that the big thing has been decided, how can he wronged himself again, he doesn't hate Wang Wan'er's previous difficulties for him, but also looks at the one-day husband and wife's hundred days.
