Chapter 106: Danger in the North (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection)
In the Qingyuan Palace, the emperor's hand was tightly clenched an urgent letter secretly from the north, and his fists trembled slightly.
From the secret letter, it was learned that Wang Dingyi, the general of Zhenbei, was infected with arrow poison when he returned to the north from Jiankang that time.
It is said that even though he was wearing close-fitting protective armor, the poison on the arrow still adhered to his skin with sweat.
Because there were no external injuries, Wang Dingyi was too busy leaving the assassins' ambush site to wash his skin immediately, and after returning to the north, Wang Dingyi did not feel unwell.
But later, Wang Dingyi's health was not good, and the military doctor found that Wang Dingyi had been infected with poison in his body.
Wang Dingyi's seven adopted sons took care of Wang Dingyi in every way at first, which made outsiders look envious.
But later, these seven adopted sons actually blocked any news of Wang Dingyi, and even the military doctors were only allowed to enter and not leave.
Now the situation in the north is critical, and once Wang Dingyi dies suddenly, his seven adopted sons, who have heavy troops, have great motives to support the army and rebel.
Since the domestic turmoil, the Gao Qi and Wei States, which have been eyeing each other, will take the opportunity to enter the country.
Sending someone to the north to visit Wang Dingyi is the most anxious thing for Emperor Daliang now.
Because it is clearly for visitation, it is actually waiting for an opportunity to take over the military power.
The people who go to the military camp in the north must not only be able to represent the emperor, but also make Wang Dingyi's seven adopted sons jealous, and let other soldiers in the north loyally support them, otherwise, if they go to the den of the wolf's ambition, they will never return.
In fact, once Wang Dingyi's seven adopted sons have bad intentions, whoever goes, they are all in different places.
Wang Dingyi was alive, he remembered that the soldiers rebelled, and he had to take care of his family in Jiankang.
Now, Wang Dingyi's only son, Wang Gan, before the wedding, that is, before Wang Dingyi's last return to Beijing, the emperor appointed this Wang Gan to wash the horse for the East Palace Classics Bureau.
The East Palace Classics Bureau washes horses, which sounds like the status of the East Palace is very unusual, because there are often court officials with more than five grades in their posts, in fact, in fact, Zhan Shifu just let this Wang Qian manage the books.
The emperor's decision made Empress Wang grateful at first, but after Wang Dingyi returned to Jiankang, he learned of this and stomped his feet in front of Empress Wang.
This was the emperor's pinning technique, and the empress didn't see it at first.
Wang Qian, who has been made an official by the emperor, will always remain under the nose of the crown prince and become a hostage to contain Wang Dingyi.
And Wang Dingyi has to pay three points of respect to the prince.
This Wang Qian is Wang Dingyi's only son now, four years ago, when Wang Dingyi became the general of Beida in Beijing Town, this son was only twelve years old, and he was still young when he was taken to the military camp.
At that time, when Wang Dingyi first arrived in the north, those soldiers in the north did not completely obey Wang Dingyi from the heart, and Wang Dingyi was also wary of the soldiers left behind by Chen Chongqing, the general of the powerful state.
Wang Dingyi originally wanted to wait for the army to regain the hearts of the army, and then look for an opportunity to take Wang Qian to the north to teach and train in person.
Especially after the death of the eldest son in a conflict with Gao Qi, Wang Gan, as the only bloodline of the Wang family, has been secretly protected in Jiankang.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Gan is just a son born to an aunt who is not treated by the Wang family, and he has always given outsiders the impression that he has not been valued since he was a child, has no status in the Wang family, and has no way out.
In fact, this Wang Qian is Wang Dingyi's heart.
Not only because Wang Qian is Wang Dingyi's only bloodline, but Wang Gan's biological mother, a woman that Wang Dingyi will never forget in his life.
That is a woman Wang Dingyi has known since he was a child, and when Wang Dingyi was young, he was the person on the tip of Wang Dingyi's heart.
It's a pity that because of the disparity in family status, Wang Dingyi's parents didn't let the woman enter the door of the Wang family back then, but married the right lady for Wang Dingyi.
Wang Dingyi will never forget the tearful eyes when his beloved left.
When Wang Dingyi's wings were plump and no one dared to stop his decision, Wang Dingyi searched all over Jiankang, but never found his heart.
Later, in a temple outside Jiankang City, Wang Dingyi finally found the woman.
Wang Dingyi took the woman back to the house, although she was an aunt, but Wang Dingyi was favored in every way, and her status was already a super big lady.
After the woman gave birth to a son for Wang Dingyi, Wang Dingyi personally named the child Qian.
This child is like a sun in Wang Dingyi's heart, illuminating Wang Dingyi's struggle.
And that woman, when Wang Dingyi was in the army, unfortunately died of illness at home.
Wang Dingyi was sad, and poured all his love into Wang Gan, who was very much like his biological mother.
When he mastered the military power in the north, Wang Dingyi felt that he was destined to name his son Qian.
His beloved woman can't be the queen of the Great Liang Empire in the future, so their son will become the crown prince after he ascends the throne.
Qian, that is, the sky, is the future son of heaven.
Unfortunately, before Wang Dingyi's ambitions could be realized, he fell ill in the north.
Once Wang Dingyi dies of illness before the power is transferred to the authorized person of the Great Liang Emperor, then Wang Dingyi's seven adopted sons may become the enemies of the Great Liang Empire.
If those seven people unite first, the elite division forged by the Great Liang Empire for so many years will overturn the Great Liang Empire instead.
Without further ado, the emperor immediately summoned the Zhongshu Order, and the monk Shangshu Ling under his door consulted.
Zhongshu ordered Yao Gongwei to lead the military department to act as the king of Shangshu Shunan to go to the north and seek an opportunity to take over the military power.
The other two provinces also concluded that the king of Shunan was the most suitable candidate.
Ye Shenglin was born as a military attaché, and in Bashu, he has been in charge of the military for many years, and he is very comfortable with the deployment of troops and generals and border defenses.
Moreover, he still has the title of the king of Shunan, and his rank is not low, and in all aspects, he can shock some people in the north.
However, for some reason, the emperor was very hesitant to send Ye Shenglin to the north.
"Your Majesty, the king of Shunan is eloquent and strategic, Wen has Taiji to settle the world, and Wu has an eight-level Dingqiankun, this is the material of the pillars of the country, and he is the best candidate to go to the north, please make a decision as soon as possible."
What Yao Gongwei said is the truth, the king of Shunan back then, in 28 years, led the army to fight and shocked southern Xinjiang.
At that time, Ye Shenglin in the south of Xinjiang, and General Long Xiang in the north Mu Songyang, known as the white-robed young general in the north and south of the Great Liang.
Yao Gongwei said unintentionally, but the situation was grim, and he was a little more passionate and generous, and he wanted to urge His Majesty to make a decision quickly.
However, Emperor Daliang was not so pleasant to listen to, and his heart became more and more repulsed.
The governors of the three provinces, of course, did not know what His Majesty the Emperor really thought in his heart.
This Emperor of Great Liang finally took away Ye Shenglin, the king of southern Shu, in Bashu four years ago, how could he let Ye Shenglin regain control of the heavy troops in the north?
In particular, Yao Gongwei's words praising Ye Shenglin for his eloquence and strategy, his writing for Taiji to calm the world, and Wu for his eighth-level determination made the Emperor of Daliang even more dissatisfied.
Could it be that the Xiao family's country was brought down by people like Ye Shenglin?
The emperor was dissatisfied in his heart and hesitated to decide, and the governors of the three provinces were finally invited out of the Qingyuan Hall by the emperor.
"This is a major matter related to the security of the country, and Rong Zhen will think about it again."
The three of them came out of the Qingyuan Hall and met the crown prince Xiao Qiyi, who came in a hurry.
After Xiao Qiyi respectfully returned the salute to the three important ministers, he glanced at Liu Shangzhong, a minister standing at the door of the palace, and stepped into the Qingyuan Palace.
