Chapter 247: Messing up the king's heart and the prince's heart

Chapter 247 messed up the king's heart and the prince's heart

Su Buxing glanced back at Zhuge Zhan, and whispered a word not to go anywhere, just waiting for His Majesty to come back. Then he looked at the emperor and his heart twitched involuntarily. The emperor seemed to be twenty years old in an instant, and the hair on both sideburns quietly turned white. His steps were a little messy as he walked out, and his shoulders were still shaking slightly.

"Your Majesty"

Su Buwei screamed, and the emperor's eyes were very empty when he turned around.

"What's the matter?"

He asked.

But Su Buxing could see that the emperor was completely subconscious. His Majesty's thoughts were all on the northwest battlefield, and all on the 700,000 troops that had been lost. It was the backbone of the Great Sui army, 700,000 horses, enough to plow the country in the north, east, and south of the Great Sui, but when it came to the west, it sounded so easy and simple. That's 700,000 lives, and hand in hand can go all the way out of Gyeonggi Province from Chang'an City.

Su Buxing, who felt the emperor's sadness and anger, found that his body was also trembling.

He walked in front of the emperor with the bronze mirror in his hand, and the emperor looked at himself in the bronze mirror and was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand and slowly pulled the gray hair hanging down from his temples up and stuffed it into the crown, and the hands that were once unusually stable kept shaking. But his movements are so serious and meticulous.

Su Buwei felt that his heart was about to break, he had never seen such an old emperor. He was a lucky man, and soon after entering the palace, he followed Wu Xiangsheng around the imperial study. Wu was his master, and he had the privilege of witnessing the majesty of two generations of emperors.

After Wu Xiangsheng's death, he became the one who stood by the emperor's side. If the first emperor valued Wu Peisheng's ability to handle government affairs, it was Wu Peisheng's keen insight. Then what His Majesty values is Su Fearless's loyalty, although Wu Companion is a Bingbi eunuch, he has never stood by the emperor's side like Su Fearless. It is precisely because the emperor gave him this trust that he can empathize with the emperor's sadness.

He put the bronze mirror back and wanted to reach out and help the emperor out. But after stretching out, he stopped in mid-air, not daring to touch the emperor.

As if sensing his intentions, the Emperor shook his head at him slightly.

"I'm fine...... Send someone to inform Dean Zhou to tell him that the day has come, and after the next dynasty, the general of the military department Lang Zong Lianghu, the left general Yang Shunhui, and the right general Xu Xiaogong of the Wei will invite them to the Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss matters. ”

"Whoa"

Su Bu fearlessly responded, and found that his voice was also trembling.

"Your Majesty, is the military departure ceremony tomorrow delayed?"

He hesitated for a long time and asked.

The emperor was silent for a while and shook his head: "Since the affairs in the northwest are irreparable, then deal with the affairs in the capital first." I only now realize that I think too highly of myself and too low of others. I always thought that everything was in my eyes, and no one could hide it from me. Da Sui is too big...... There are too many people in the Great Sui. It's so big that my eyes can see it, but it's so much that my eyes can't see through it. ”

"The affairs of the northwest cannot be revealed, at least until tomorrow after the military dispatch ceremony. Those rebels and thieves have already given me a blow in the head, letting me know that not everything is tightly held in the palm of my hand. In any case, the capital can no longer slip out of my palm. ”

He paused and continued, "Also, ask Luo Weiran to come to see me. The people in the northwest did not send any news back to Chang'an City...... Hou Wenji obviously betrayed me a long time ago. I sent him to the northwest, which turned out to be a good helper for those rebellious ministers and thieves. From today onwards, you take over the affairs of the affairs of the court. Let Luo Weiran lead someone to investigate, don't keep any of Hou Wenji's cronies, don't do it now, and move before the military launch ceremony tomorrow. ”

"Whoa"

Su Buwei lowered his head and responded: "The slave and maid are just afraid, the slave and maid can't cope with such a big stall." ”

"You lead it first, and then I will find a suitable person when I go back."

The emperor smiled, his face was bitter: "I remember telling you about this topic at the beginning, is it Luo Weiran who is more loyal to me, or Hou Wenji who is more loyal...... At the time, you said you couldn't see clearly, and I laughed at you. I said that although Luo Weiran was a person sent by Lao Qi, after all, he was born in the rivers and lakes and had a wild mind. Hou Wenji is from a family, and he is a person promoted by me personally, and he is more loyal than Luo Weiran. Although I have been suspicious of him since some time ago, I think that he is just greedy for money and there is nothing wrong with him......"

"Now that I think about it, I've been confused all along. I know that there are a lot of those chaotic ministers in the Ouchi Guard, and the Ouchi Guard's situation is no longer as pure as it was when the country was founded. But I never doubted their loyalty to me, but now, it was the one I didn't suspect who stabbed me in the back. ”

He was silent for a while and ordered: "Tomorrow everything will be business as usual, not only as usual, but also in a more magnificent way...... Go tell Fang Xie that he doesn't want to let the red sleeves perform those songs and dances at the departure ceremony, then make it bigger, so that the people can see that Chang'an City is still singing and dancing. ”

"Slave and maid, send someone."

"Let Fang Xie get out, I asked him to check on the sixth child, just to let the sixth child's mind be on him...... Lao Liu is suspicious by nature, and he focuses on Fang Jie, so that my people will be more able to investigate. In fact, Fang Xie is just an obvious cover for my arrangement, but the more this happens, the more cranky the sixth will become. I never thought that Fang Xie would find out everything, he was still too young......"

"Fang Xie ......"

Su Buwei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly knelt down: "The slave has something to hide from Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was stunned and looked at Su Buxing: "Even you have something to hide from me?" ”

"Your Majesty...... The slave is guilty...... Early this morning, Chen Xiaoru came back from a book, saying that Fang Xie planned to escape from Chang'an City by pretending to be Wu Yi in order to force those people to show their flaws, and lead those people to take action. Chen Xiaoru said that Fang Xie also wanted Prince Yi's purpose to be more clearly exposed, so he planned to work hard. ”

"Huh?"

The emperor frowned, and then sighed: "It turns out that the person I suspect is a loyal person who is not afraid of death, send someone to watch him, if Fang Xie does not die today, I will let him do something important tomorrow...... It's time, if I can be ruthless and take out all these tumors before using troops against the northwest, maybe this kind of thing won't happen in the northwest. I thought that the sixth child was going to the northwest, but now I understand...... Li Yuanshan and Lao Liu are not of the same mind at all. ”

……

Prince Yi's Mansion

Floor on board

With a click, Prince Yi, who was copying a famous landscape painting, stiffened and the pen in his hand fell. The pen dipped in ink falls on the drawing paper, like clicking on an ink chrysanthemum. He raised his head violently and looked at Qin Liuqi, who was standing in front of him with an extremely ugly face, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

"You...... You repeat! ”

He raised his hand and pointed at Qin Liuqi and shouted loudly.

Qin Liuqi's body trembled, and he lowered his head and said in a sad and angry tone: "Hou Wenji came back from the Northwest Flying Pigeon Messenger, and all the 700,000 troops of the imperial court are gone...... Li Yuanshan first sent troops to pretend to be Meng Yuan's cavalry to kill through the defense line of the right leading army Wei General Yu Zhengdong from behind, and colluded with the Meng Yuan cavalry to slaughter the entire army of the right leading army Wei. Then he took his men and horses to pretend to be defeated and withdrew to the Chinese army, and suddenly attacked the Chinese army camp of King Xujun...... With the cooperation of 300,000 cavalry of Mengyuan, the Chinese army of King Xujun was defeated. The fate of King Xujun and Mou Liangbi and Zuo Xiaowei's general Jin Shixiong is unknown. ”

Then the Mengyuan cavalry divided the troops into three ways to surround the men and horses of Pei Huan, the general of the left leading army, and after a few days of bloody battles, the whole army of the left leading army was annihilated, and the general Pei Huan was killed. Li Yuanshan colluded with the Mengyuan people to pass through the Qingxia of the Wolf Milk Mountain, and the governors of the three provinces in the northwest, Yuan Chongwu, Yang Shanchen, and Wu Peizhi sent county soldiers to block the road and news, and the people did not know that the army had been defeated. In the secret letter, Yuan Chongwu and the others were going to raise the banner on the side of the Qing monarch, first control the three northwestern roads, and then march to Chang'an......"

Boom!

Prince Yi swept all the things on the table to the ground: "Li Yuanshan! Yuan Chongwu! Lone really underestimated you! From the beginning...... From the very beginning, Li Yuanshan had a different heart! ”

"Lord ......"

Qin Liuqi said eagerly: "These are not the most worrying, Hou Wenji's secret letter said that Li Yuanshan colluded with the Mengyuan people and signed a contract with the Mengyuan people, and Mengyuan helped Li Yuanshan send troops to attack Chang'an, but the three northwestern provinces had to be ceded to Mengyuan. And Li Yuanshan actually dedicated the secret that was originally of great use to the prince to the Meng Yuan people, and the most shameful thing was ...... Hou Wenji said that Li Yuanshan overthrew the banner of the Qing monarch played by Yuan Chongwu, but wanted to use the banner of abolishing the faint monarch and establishing you as the emperor. ”

"Ahh

Prince Yi exclaimed in fright, and his body was crooked and he almost couldn't stand.

"What a vicious scheme!"

"He didn't dare to raise the anti-flag, so he had to send troops in the name of Lone...... Only now did Lone understand that Li Yuanshan's calculations were so deep! If Lone went to the northwest, he would coerce Lone to enter Chang'an. If he didn't go to the northwest alone, he would still play such a banner. Let the people of the world think that it is Lone who colludes with Meng Yuanren, not him Li Yuanshan! If the fourth brother kills Gu because of this, he is afraid that he will raise the white flag and raise troops to avenge Lone! The secret of the Northwest, what kind of secret is it at this time? How many weapons and how many armors have been created by the accidentally discovered iron ore in the past few years have now become a gift from Li Yuanshan to the people of Mengyuan! Li Yuanshan, this idiot! Once the Mengyuan people have iron mines, what else will the Great Sui use to compete with the Mengyuan people?! ”

"Lone always thought that Li Yuanshan was just a clown who jumped off the beam, but now he understands that this person has such a big mind! Turning home into a country...... Ha ha...... Even people like him Li Yuanshan want to turn his family into a country! ”

"Lord Wang...... Now we have to find a way. ”

Qin Liuqi said eagerly: "Tomorrow's matter, should it be delayed?" ”

Prince Yi was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Delay? If you delay it any longer, you will definitely die! When the three northwestern roads were all occupied by Li Yuanshan, plus the cavalry of the Mengyuan people, he had enough strength to march to Chang'an. There are left and right leading guards and left Xiaowei in the northwest, which is the reason why Li Yuanshan did not dare to rebel, and now he designed to unite with the Meng Yuan people to get rid of these three guards in one fell swoop, and there is no moat in the northwest, not to mention that those county soldiers are controlled by Yuan Chongwu and others, even if they are not controlled, they can't stop the combined forces of Meng Yuan and Li Yuanshan...... Once the news of him reaching Chang'an under the banner of Yingli Gu as the emperor, do you think the emperor will still let Gu go in the face of the Queen Mother? ”

"That ......"

Qin Liuqi hesitated: "Tomorrow according to the plan?" ”

Prince Yi nodded vigorously: "Send someone into the palace and tell the Queen Mother to get ready, after the success of Gu tomorrow, the Queen Mother will immediately issue an order to make Gu the emperor." Using the edict of the first emperor that we have done well to block the mouths of those foolish and loyal people, coupled with the queen mother's appearance, we should be able to stabilize the situation in Chang'an City as soon as possible. As long as Chang'an is stable, after sitting on the throne alone, he will immediately order the world to crusade against the thieves! ”

"Whoa!"

Qin Liuqi responded: "My subordinates will do it." ”

"Wait!"

Prince Yi was silent for a while and then ordered: "Let those courtiers do today's matter and kill all of them in Wu Yifang, and don't leave any of them." There is no need to test anything, as long as Wu Yiyi and Fang Xie are dead, those courtiers will be relieved to serve Gu, and now Gu needs them more than before. After tomorrow, they will be the first courtiers to kneel down to Lonely! Let the snake guard also go, and there can't be any more chaos because of Wu Yiyi's matter. ”

"Today they are all dead, and the emperor will definitely send someone to investigate. Scattering the people of the Ouchi Guard will be good for tomorrow's affairs. It is impossible for the emperor to cancel tomorrow's troops because of today's affairs, but he will be even more confused. There are courtiers on Lone's side, generals on Lone's side, and the Queen Mother...... And ......"

Prince Yi's eyes lit up: "The fourth brother will be surprised by the excitement of tomorrow!" ”
