Chapter 180: King Zuoxian
The next day, Bo Yalun waited for Meng Ke to arrive in Sichuan County, and after asking, he learned that he had led a large army to entangle with the defenders in Dingxian, and he was immediately annoyed.
This royal brother is inevitably too ignorant. Now is the time to race against time, but he only cares about the gains and losses of one place. To tell the truth, Kang County and Sichuan County are in hand, and a single county is nothing to worry about.
"Someone! Prepare the horse, the palace is going to Dingxian. ”
After arriving in Dingxian, Bo Yalun went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, ignoring the sergeants on the road who saluted one after another, opened the curtain of the big tent, and began to comfort when he saw Meng Ke, "Brother Huang, now you are needed to command the front, what have you been doing in the rear with the army?" ”
Meng Ke's face flushed, and he said, "I just saw that the little Dingxian magistrate was so rampant, not only ignored my overtures to him, but also cut off the head of my envoy, and I will make him pay the price for my appreciation of him." ”
Bo Yalun glanced at him speechlessly, and sighed for a long time, "Brother Huang, you are now the king of a country, and you are responsible for the future of the entire empire. How can you delay the whole plan because of a small loss, for the sake of personal likes and dislikes? ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the direction of Yumen Pass and said loudly: "Do you know how many cities will be captured by our Mengyuan soldiers in this day's delay?" In the time you delayed, the Zhong family army and the Xiliang army will not wait, in case they come back to their senses and form a counterattack, how much sacrifice will our army have to pay to recover these losses? ”
"This ......" Munch's face turned white for a while, obviously he also realized the consequences of his willfulness, "I didn't think about it, I was wrong. I immediately swung my troops south, and here I was handed over to a commander to lead the army and attack slowly. Even if you can't take Dingxian County, you have to trap them inside. ”
Bo Yalun's face showed a look of relief, his right hand clenched into a fist, placed it in front of his chest, and bowed down and said, "Imperial Brother Shengming!" What we need to do at this time is to capture Xining City as soon as possible, and let the officials of the empire know that our real ability is not completely dependent on the shadow of our father Khan. ”
Meng Keshen nodded emphatically, "Imperial sister, all along, it has been fortunate that you and the queen mother have been by your side to support you, otherwise the eldest brother would have been deposed by the two uncles a long time ago." ”
A bitter smile appeared on Bo Yalun's face, "Brother Huang, we are already a family, if you don't support you as a sister, who else will you support?" In fact, the little sister didn't exert much effort, and the real sacrifice was the queen mother. ”
Meng Ke and Bo Yalun are compatriots, but their mother Zhao Yu'er is not a noble daughter of the Mengyuan tribe, but a woman from a down-and-out small family in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Once accidentally met the Mengyuan prince Kuoduan, who traveled in disguise in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the two fell in love at first sight, and later Kuoduan took Zhao Yuer back to the capital of Mengyuan.
Although Zhao Yuer's background is not very noble, she is highly sensitive to politics and has very powerful methods of employing people. With her assistance, Kuoduan ascended to the position of Great Khan of the Mengyuan Empire.
It's just a pity that within a few years of Kuoduan's succession, Meng Yuan broke out into war with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north and the Great Xia Dynasty in the south. Although he defeated the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, he himself was seriously injured and died two years later.
After Kuduan's death, he had only one son and one daughter under his knees, and the throne of the Great Khan was naturally inherited by his son Munch. At that time, in addition to Munch, there were also two younger brothers of Kuoduan, the Left Virtuous King Uluchi and the Right Virtuous King Shuerche.
At that time, the Right Virtuous King Shu'er Che was fighting with the Great Xia army in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and when Kuoduan died, he had no time to rush back to Dadu from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to compete for the position of Great Khan.
However, Zuoxian King Uluchi happened to be in Dadu, and his power in the imperial court was already very strong at that time, not inferior to the great Khan Kuoduan who had died, let alone Munch.
At that time, almost everyone thought that the position of the Great Khan would fall into the hands of the powerful Zuoxian King Uluchi, but the result surprised everyone, and it was Munch who finally succeeded the Great Khan, not Uluchi.
It is rumored that on the night before Munch ascended the throne, the then queen Zhao Yuer personally visited Zuoxian King Uluchi, and did not leave Zuoxian's palace overnight, but appeared at the Monk Enthronement Ceremony with Zuoxian King Uluchi the next day.
Although Zuoxian King Uluchi did not ascend to the throne of the Great Khan, he was also canonized as regent and ruled the court together with the Empress Dowager Zhao Yu'er.
At that time, Meng Ke and Bo Yalun were still young, and they didn't know what happened in them, but as they grew older, they realized that their mother Zhao Yuer had made great sacrifices for the two of them.
Of course, the two of them did not look down on their mother in the slightest, and in the Mengyuan Empire, there were no longer a few cases where brothers were brothers. Many younger brothers married their sisters-in-law after their elder brother died, and it was even common for many to marry their father's concubines after their father's death.
For the people of the Mengyuan Empire, this kind of very common thing does not involve ethics like Great Xia and Eastern Wei, so naturally it will not be too disdainful.
……
……
The capital of the Mengyuan Empire, the capital.
In the palace of King Zuoxian, Wulu Chiduan was sitting on the Hu bed, holding Zhang Information in his hand, and was watching intently. Suddenly, he sneered, "My little nephew has finally grown a little bit of ability after so many years, and he is not exactly the man who needed to rely on his mother in the past." ”
The next man in a monk's robe raised a single palm and proclaimed a slogan: "Amitabha, could it be that King Zuo Xian is still haunted by the incident back then?" ”
Wuluchi's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "I can't blame others for what happened back then, I can only blame myself for not holding it for a while, and I fell in love with the demon girl." So in the past ten years, this king has not embarrassed their mother and son too much. But ......"
There was a look of resentment in Uluchi's eyes, "Since that cheap seed has been sitting on the throne day by day, that demon girl really thinks that she has eaten this king. actually wanted to violate the agreement signed at the beginning, and wanted to kick the king away from the court, and she would listen to the government alone. ”
But she didn't want to think about who had supported her behind for so many years, so that she was calling for wind and rain in the court. Now that she has tasted the taste of power, she wants to kick her partner aside, where in the world is it so easy? ”
"Isn't she afraid, if she continues to dominate like this, her son will not be able to look past her and send her directly into the cold palace?"
The monk smiled, "Since ancient times, power has moved people's hearts, and mortals have always been unable to break all kinds of desires, and there must be a cause and effect. Why should King Zuo Xian be too like. ”
Uluchi stared at the monk and looked deeply, "Jangchen Gyatso, if you can break all kinds of desires, why do you come to this king. Wouldn't it be better to recite your Buddha freely, and cultivate your path? ”
Jiangchen Gyatso showed a sad look on his face, "What the prince said is extremely true, if the little monk can let go of the past, he will not be able to protect the prince for so many years." In the final analysis, life is eight hardships: birth, old age, illness, death, resentment, love and separation, five yin blazing, and unbelievable. If you can really see it, then you are not far from becoming a Buddha. ”
Uluchi waved his hand and said to him, "Master Gyatso, don't talk about so much nonsense. You help this king find a way to get rid of that cheap seed, and this king helps you revive the tantric sect, what do you think? ”
His slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying light erupted, his palms folded, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Amitabha!"
