Chapter 28: Death for a Confidant

Meng Xuanjue came out of the palace and did not go to the Jingji camp outside the CD Mansion, but went back to the East Palace directly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Gao Yanshou Zhao Li also accompanied him to the East Palace, and now the military situation is urgent, in order to prevent accidents, he must make careful arrangements.

Holding the talisman given by Meng Chang to transfer troops, Meng Xuanjue called Han Yao and the others over.

He handed a token to Gao Yanshou and said: "Han Yao takes two hundred East Palace guards and goes directly to the Wude Army, you bring the military order of the palace, under the banner of my Grand Governor, quickly go to the Mianzhou Wude Army station, and directly send the order to the Wude Army to make Yin Po, tell him that the Wude Army must lead the army and the people to open on time, if he delays or disobeys, you will directly behead him and seize the military power, and after the Wude Army enters Tongzhou, it will be handed over to the Gaodu Governor for moderation." ”

Han Yao took the token, clenched his fists and said, "The last general will be ordered." ”

Meng Xuanjue said to Han Zheng again: "You, like your eldest brother, take two hundred East Palace guards to Suizhou, and tell Wang De that if the palace can't see his soldiers and horses within two days, then let him cut himself, and if he has a different heart, he will correct the law on the spot." ”

Meng Xuanjue waved his hand: "Go, hurry up." ”

The two knelt down at the same time, said that His Highness was relieved, and then turned around and hurried away.

After Han Yao and Han Zheng left, Meng Xuanjue said to Gao Yanshou and Zhao Li: "The two governors will work harder, let's set off to Tongzhou now, and prepare to take over the Wude Army and the Wuxin Army." ”

"For the country and the people, what is the hard work, rest assured, I, Gao Yanshou, will never live up to His Highness's trust."

"The same goes for Zhao Li."

After the two finished speaking, they also left.

"Pass my order, gather the guards of the East Palace, and then send an order to Gao Wen to select a thousand elite soldiers to wait in the East School Field."

After ordering all this, it was almost noon, and when he walked into the study, a man in black was waiting for him inside, he stood in the study, and when he saw Meng Xuanjue coming in, the man in black knelt on the ground:

"Yang Qingyun knocked to see His Highness."

Meng Xuanjue nodded: "Get up." ”

Except for Meng Xuanjue, no one knew about the existence of Yang Qingyun, even Meng Chang and Meng Xuanzhe didn't know that Meng Xuanjue had such a group of people.

"How many people are there now?" Meng Xuanjue asked lightly, Jinyiwei is an organization established by Meng Xuanjue in imitation of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, specifically for spying on intelligence, assassinating threatening people, and protecting the people Meng Xuanjue wants to protect.

Yang Qingyun replied respectfully: "Since the battle of Huxian, His Royal Highness deliberately asked me to wait in the list of the dead in the battle, secretly looking for loyal people for His Highness, now there are more than 1,200 people in Wei, according to their ability, their subordinates will divide them into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang. ”

"Yes, the role of Jinyiwei is now in the dark, and it is very useful for future wars or responses to various countries, and instruct Jinyiwei to disperse to various places, the Great Zhou, the Northern Han, the Liao, the Southern Tang, the Southern Han, Jingzhou and other places must have the existence of Jinyiwei, you don't have to worry about money, I will fully support you, and a part of the capital will be left behind, responsible for supervising the court officials, if there are people in the court who have two hearts, once there is any trouble, there is no need to ask for instructions, there is no forgiveness, now is an extraordinary period, there is no need to consider what impact and consequences, All those who affect the great cause of this palace cannot be left behind. ”

Yang Qingyun nodded and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

"Well, you also prepare, leave for Wanzhou and Kuizhou, I want to know first-hand information."

Meng Xuanjue waited for Yang Qingyun to disappear, then looked out the window silently, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Hey, Shu is too weak, this time is more thrilling than any time, maybe Shu is really exhausted, he came to this era, he has done enough for this country, he is worthy of the real Meng Xuanjue, but Shu has been weak for many years, and it is so difficult to survive among the surrounding powers." ”

"Chai Rong of the Great Zhou, this person is a rare sage, and there will be an even more powerful Zhao Kuangyin in the future, he has countless generals and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, who will be his great enemy, hey, forget it, I still want to pass the current level and talk about it, maybe, I can't hold up the showdown with Zhao Kuangyin at all."

At this time, the guards of the East Palace came to tell him, saying that Yan Xue, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

Yan Xue is a weak scholar, only eight years old, only thirty years old as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, this is all the credit of Meng Xuanjue, that is when Meng Xuanjue was crowned the prince, suddenly saw a six-grade petty official first showed a hint of hope, and then kept sighing, after the next court, please come to ask.

Yan Xue replied: "The prince is a genius, but the national strength of Shu is limited, if you can't get out of the two rivers, I am afraid that Zhuge of Shu Han, although you work hard, it will be difficult to defend the society after all." ”

This kind of disrespectful words, if others heard about it, I am afraid that Yan Xue would inevitably take away his official position, but Meng Xuanjue knew that he was telling the truth, Liu Bei lost Jingzhou at that time, so that the Shu Han army could only march from Qishan.

At that time, Yan Xue proposed that if he wanted to display his ambitions, the land of Jingzhou must be taken, and Meng Xuanjue thought so, so he was promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Yan Shilang came here this time, why did he come here, is there any clever plan that can't be achieved?" Meng Xuanjue asked lightly.

"Your Highness, why don't you borrow troops?" Yan Xue looked at Meng Xuanjue with a look of hope.

"Borrowed soldiers? Come on. ”

Yan Xuedao: "Zhou Xingfeng raised 100,000 troops this time, plus Sun Yu's 50,000 Ningjiang army, a total of 150,000 troops, Zhou Xingfeng is the envoy of the Wuping army, occupying Jingxiang, Tanzhou and other places, with strong power, on the surface attached to the Great Zhou, in fact, it is a separatist party, His Royal Highness this eastward crusade, even if he defeats Sun Yu, it is difficult to defeat Zhou Xingfeng." Now my Shu and the Great Zhou are married, the Great Zhou will not send troops to help Zhou Xingfeng, the Southern Tang and Zhou Xingfeng are feuds, if we take advantage of the momentum of the Southern Tang Dynasty to defeat Zhou Xingfeng, the land of Tanzhou belongs to the Southern Tang, and the land of Jingxiang belongs to my Shu Kingdom. ”

Meng Xuanjue nodded and said: "What Yan Shilang said is not bad, but my country has no contact with the Southern Tang Dynasty, how can I say that Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be moved." ”

Yan Xue suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Learn a scholar, literature can't govern the country, and martial arts can't be Anbang, this time I am willing to rely on my three-inch tongue to persuade Li Yu to use troops against Hou Zhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

Meng Xuanjue thought for a while and said: "No, this must be more than auspicious, although Li Yu is good at poetry and a benevolent lord, but his generals have strong national strength, and they have never put my Shu Kingdom in their eyes, as soon as you go, they will make things difficult in every way, if you disagree with them, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Meng Xuanjue came from later generations, and still had some understanding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, at this time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was strong and could compete with the Great Zhou, but although its lord Li Yu was a benevolent lord, what was needed in the troubled times was not a benevolent lord, but a male lord, so this also made him listen to the words of the hundred officials, and could not hear and hear correctly, which was very dangerous.

"Learn to know that His Royal Highness is worried about Weichen, but Xue personal safety is not worth mentioning compared with the country's social welfare, if Xue convinces the Southern Tang Dynasty, then His Highness's grand cause will be realized one day, for His Highness's great cause, what is the point of death?"

Meng Xuanjue said movingly: "You are only thirty now, why bother, fighting is a matter of this palace, you don't need to worry." ”

When Yan Xue heard this, he cried like rain, a line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he looked at Meng Xuanjue and said word by word: "If a scholar dies for his confidant, please fulfill it for His Highness." ”
