Chapter 191: Wang Kuang's Invasion
The news reached Hongnong.
Zhao Yue was so shocked that he stood up directly from the chair, his hand slapped on the table, making a loud noise, and the ministers standing in front of him were startled, "This bastard thing, he actually made the king without authorization, and he has not yet reported the news to the court, such an act is comparable to a great rebellion!" β
Jia Xu stroked his beard, squinted his eyes quite confidently and said: "Lord, the minister thinks this is not an unexpected thing, Lord, you have been named the King of Qin, Zhang Duan naturally wants to be on an equal footing with you, this time he proclaimed himself King Yong, for us, it can't be regarded as a bad thing, it is really a good thing." β
"Why?" Zhao Yue had already lost a certain ability to think calmly because of anger, so she asked without thinking about it.
Before Jia Xu could speak, Meng Idiot said on the side: "Since Zhang Duan proclaimed himself the prince this time and did not ask the emperor, it means that he is ready to rebel, we can use the name of righteousness to raise troops to crusade against him, I believe the emperor should agree." β
Jia Xu followed closely and said: "However, the lord, the military advisor, and the minister were under Li Dao and Guo Yan before, and they knew that there was a person who was proficient in calligraphy and strategy, and at this moment he was already serving as the main strategist under Zhang Duan, so we need to be careful." β
"Who are you talking about?"
Zhao Yue had already been able to calm down, he sat back in his seat, and calmly began to ask for the opinions of his subordinates.
"Zhong Xuan, Zhong Yuanchang." Jia Xu said proudly, in his heart, he believed that after Zhao Yue mastered the imperial court, the other princes would be even more opponents.
At this time in the west, Zhang Duan expected that Zhao Yue would definitely take advantage of the opportunity when he had just proclaimed himself king and lead his troops to come to the crusade, so he hurriedly sent an envoy to Xiliang Ma Teng to ask for help, on the other hand, he hurriedly stepped up the construction of city defense.
But when Zhao Yue was preparing to start the army, he learned a bad news!
Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, together with the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan, raised 30,000 troops, trying to cross the Yellow River, pass through Pinggang, and take his base camp Luoyang! Chen Qun in Luoyang had already sent someone to Hongnong with urgent paperwork, asking Zhao Yue to return to the city immediately to deal with it.
Zhao Yue had no choice but to go to the court again to admonish him, and respectfully asked the emperor to move to Luoyang City, as the representative of the imperial conquest, nominally commanding the overall situation of Luoyang, so as to be able to successfully defend against Wang Kuang and Zhang Yan's attack.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was still hesitant, and the Zhongchang servants also maintained their previous ambiguous attitude, and the commanders of the two forbidden armies did not express their opinions, and most of the ministers in the court agreed with Prime Minister Cao Yuanze's proposal: never move the capital, in case the country is shaken.
Zhao Yue was anxious, and immediately knelt on the court, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, now, the place where the ministers arose, and it is also the imperial capital of Your Majesty's father, grandfather, and the second emperor Huan Ling, is about to suffer from the attack of the anti-party from Hanoi, how can Your Majesty live here in peace?" Wouldn't it be all the glory of the Han Dynasty? β
Perhaps it was Zhao Yue's words that were excessive, Cao Yuanze actually came forward to accuse: "Lord Qin, you are so rude, you are so rude, you are openly responsible for your duties in the court!" β
Zhao Yue just looked at him, and Wang Jian and Cao Ping, who were also in the court, walked to both sides of Cao Yuanze left and right, seemingly politely acting as a guard for him, but in fact, they quietly pressed behind him with daggers.
Cao Yuanze's face was embarrassed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he couldn't say a word.
Zhao Yue continued to bow to the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister asked Your Majesty to move the capital to Luoyang, not only for the glory of the Han Dynasty, but also for the safety of Your Majesty!" β
When Emperor Han Xian heard this, he was a little confused, and put his hat aside with his hand, and said, "Brother Qin Wangyi, why do you say that, why did you move the capital, and it is still related to my safety?" β
Zhao Yue still knelt on the ground, just straightened up, and explained in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, I think you have also heard that at this time in the Chang'an area, Zhang Duan, the traitor who inherited the mantle of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, has already proclaimed himself King Yong, but he has not passed the imperial court. Doesn't this move prove that he has openly wanted to go against my big man, and he is about to lead the army to invade the border again? β
Emperor Han Xian looked at Zhao Yue with a pair of eyes and nodded.
Zhao Yue continued: "The minister originally wanted to strike first and take the lead in attacking Zhang Duan, but he never thought that before he could play the Shengshang, the back direction was provoked by the thieves of Hanoi, so the minister had to lead his troops back to Luoyang and capture Hanoi in order to consolidate the rule of our Han in the Sili Captain's Department. But since then, Zhao Yue has to leave His Majesty alone in Hongnong, if Zhang Duan leads his troops to attack Hongnong at this time, then Your Majesty, your situation is in danger, and the Han Kingdom is in danger! β
After hearing this, Emperor Han Xian leaned his back directly on the chair, and his breath became stronger and stronger.
Zhong Chang squinted his eyes and thought about it, his eyes rolled in his sockets, and he happened to meet Zhao Yue's gaze.
Bai Ying's whole body seemed to be electrocuted, because from Zhao Yue's eyes, he actually sensed a trace of an irresistible order, or a murderous aura, which made him instantly let go of all his defenses.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Qin said is not unreasonable." Bai Ying slowly turned around, facing the location of Emperor Han Xian, and said softly.
Emperor Han Xian shook his head lightly and pursed his lips, he remembered that Cao Yuanze had told him before that the three emperors would bring all kinds of disadvantages, so he turned his head to the side at this time, looked at Cao Yuanze, who looked a little strange, and asked curiously: "Prime Minister, what do you think of the opinions of King Qin's righteous brother?" β
Where does Cao Yuanze dare to say half a word?
Wang Jian and Cao Ping's daggers have reached his waist, if he says no, I'm afraid he will die in the court!
Cao Yuanze was afraid and angry in his heart, this was really too presumptuous, and he actually played this kind of coercion in front of the court, which was simply not in his eyes.
But he is not stupid, if he is hard with Zhao Yue at this time, he is afraid that he will die immediately, he wants to endure for a while, and when Zhao Yue's whole body and mind are invested in the external war after the capital is moved, he is launching a palace coup d'Γ©tat to get rid of Zhao Yue, a "thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh"!
"Your Majesty, Lord Qin's strategy to move the capital...... Minister...... The minister has thought about it carefully, there is still a certain reasonableness, Your Majesty, you can adopt it, this is also for the sake of my big man! It is enough to see the loyalty of King Qin. β
After Cao Yuanze finished saying these words against his will, he could vaguely feel the terrifying force in his back and waist gradually disappearing, and he took a long breath and was relieved. (To be continued.) )
