Chapter 1072: Chen Yu's Calculation (I)
Nanbi and other concubines were also worried, Cheng Yue's condition was getting worse and worse, every half a month, they had to send a letter to Dadu, Kublai Khan always just replied to tell them to take care of Cheng Yue, and the rest did not say anything. X's understanding of Kublai Khan had long guessed that Kublai Khan must have a plan, but she couldn't figure out what Kublai Khan was going to do.
Cheng Yue held a copy of Yang Ting's secret music in his hand. Yang Ting's spies in the Yuan Dynasty learned that Kublai Khan had quietly dispatched troops and ordered the northern armies to move south one after another in the name of changing guards, heading for the border of the Yuan and Song dynasties.
Cheng Yue snorted coldly, put the secret music aside, and picked up another secret music.
This tantric recital is related to the Southern Expedition. Chen Shengzong of Annan secretly sent people to Lin'an and had a connection with the crown prince Chen Duo, first, to find out the truth of the Southern Song Dynasty, and second, to see if he could rescue them. It's a pity that Yang Ting was very well guarded, and Chen was dragged down by other detained envoys, so he couldn't take half a step out of Lin'an.
Chen Shengzong had just sent a privy envoy named Du Zhong incognito and acted as a secret envoy to Lin'an, Cheng Yue was about to send troops, and Du Zhong's only mission was to try his best to save Chen, and he could no longer care about the lives and deaths of the envoys of the other twelve countries.
In addition, the Burmese king also sent a team of envoys to Lin'an in the name of attacking the Yuan Dynasty and being loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and it would take about ten days to arrive.
Cheng Yue calculated for a moment and said to Wan Ze: "Wan Ze, Burma sent envoys to Lin'an ten days later, and it was when I was asleep that you sent someone to tell the Burmese envoys that either they would be used by me and help me attack Burma, or they would all be beheaded, saving me the waste of grain in the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Wan Ze hurriedly responded, Cheng Yue turned his head to Ding Xiang and said, "Tomorrow call Chen and the secret envoy Du Zhong who hides his head and tail, and I will give them one last way to live." ”
Lilac stepped forward to receive the order, Cheng Yue closed his eyes tiredly, and Mrs. Jin immediately stood behind Cheng Yue and gently massaged his temples.
Cheng Yue muttered: "How is Bu Humu staying?" ”
Mrs. Jin said softly: "Thanks to the blessing of the prince, Bu Mu has opened a lot of eyes, and since he arrived in Lin'an, he has been very happy." ”
Cheng Yue nodded slightly, and said: "Let him go to the military department tomorrow, the army will set off in more than a month, there are many things in the military department, he can also learn things, the southern expedition and the western expedition are very different." ”
Madame Jin nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Sa Bu suddenly saw that Mrs. Jin and Cheng Yue were very close, and he was jealous and sad in his heart. Cheng Yue doesn't know how much time there is, and he has never served him well. Thinking of this, Sa Bu simply stood up, walked to Mrs. Jin's side, and said, "Mrs. Jin, let me come, I often rubbed my head when I was in the palace." ”
Mrs. Jin smiled faintly, stepped aside, and quietly took over and pressed gently. Isaac did not neglect the dignity of the imperial concubine, and pressed the head for a courtier, Cheng Yue didn't even say a word of thanks, it seemed to be used to it.
As soon as Sa didn't move, Nuhan, Kuokolun and Babahan couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward, serving tea and pouring water, which made the wives and concubines dumbfounded.
What kind of frame is this? If Kublai Khan's khan knew about it, wouldn't he have blown up his lungs?
Cheng Yue wanted to stop them, but in the end he didn't bother to move. Forget it, they don't know how long they can live, they have to do their best, and let them be better.
Nan Bi has a noble status, and he can't intervene, so he simply sits down at the newly sent piano and plays a brisk piano music to relieve Cheng Yue's boredom.
Kudu Lujian watched all this silently, expressionless, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The next morning, Cheng Yue met with several ministers, and after lunch, Chen, the crown prince of Annan, was brought first.
Chen has been running a restaurant in Lin'an for the past two years, and he has actually made some money. Last year, Chen Shengzong raised money in various ways in the country, coupled with the gold, silver and jewelry of the royal family of Annan, thinking that it was not far from the rewards of the Great Song Dynasty in previous years, so he sent someone to see Chen, wanting to use the money to redeem him. Chen told the envoy that even if Chen Shengzong took out ten times more wealth, Cheng Yue might not be willing to let it go, but instead delayed the domestic military training, insisted on not allowing it, and entrusted the money he earned to take it away to recruit troops in China.
The envoy cried and left, Chen Shengzong saw the money that Chen instructed the envoy to bring back, and he also cried in the court, and the ministers were sad and indignant. With this as an encouragement, 50,000 soldiers and horses were raised inside and outside the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate in three days, and the morale was high, and all kinds of fortresses were built in the territory, vowing to fight with Cheng Yue to the death!
Cheng Vietnam's preparations for the expedition were also in full swing, and Chen Shengzong still couldn't let go of his beloved son, so he ordered the privy envoy Du Zhong to disguise himself as a businessman and rush to Lin'an to try to take Chen away quietly. Once Cheng Yue gives the order to start a war and Annan wins, Chen may be beheaded in anger, Annan is defeated, and Chen's life is useless, and it is a dead end!
Chen also understood that he was in a critical situation, this time, he really wanted to get out, except for a few henchmen, the other subordinates did not know that Chen had secretly met with Du Zhong a few times, and planned a plan to get out, and the internal and external affairs were also sorted out, just waiting for the right time.
What Chen didn't know was that Yang Ting's surveillance of him was pervasive, the guys who served customers in the store, the helpers in the kitchen, and the vendors who delivered rice, flour, oil, and meat, were all Yang Ting's people, and whoever Chen had seen and said would appear on Yang Ting's desk in time. As long as he has the slightest abnormality, he will be noticed by these people immediately.
Chen himself estimated that there were two chances that would be the easiest to escape. One is when the army sent out, at that time, the soldiers and horses were vast, and the accompanying craftsmen and hawkers were endless, and they claimed to be sick for a few days, and then tried to mix in it, it was very likely that they could hide it from Lin'an's ears and eyes.
The other is that when Cheng Yue is seriously ill and difficult to treat, if Cheng Yue really dies as he prayed, there will be chaos inside and outside Lin'an! In times of chaos, where will anyone notice him? Even if I found out that he was going to run away, I didn't have the mood to care about him. As long as you can leave Lin'an, then the sky is high and the birds will fly, and it will be difficult to stay again!
Chen's calculations are not shrewd, this day he was settling accounts behind the store, and suddenly heard the noise of the front store, shouting and shouting, as if someone had broken in.
Chen was startled, hurriedly put away the account books, opened the door and looked, and saw several palace guards rushing into the backyard with golden knives. The prince has a call, please follow us to the palace immediately. ”
Chen was shocked and blurted out: "I don't know what the prince commands?" ”
The escort who took the lead smiled: "I'm just waiting for the order, how do I know?" Prince please. ”r
