After the secret guard left, Liu Yiji stared out the window alone in a daze.

At the beginning, Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang and Xie Hui, in order to ensure the third brother's ascendancy, designed to demote the second brother to a concubine, and then forced the eldest brother to abdicate.

These were originally planned, and even Liu Yiji felt that the third brother was more suitable to ascend to the throne.

It's just that to the surprise of the two brothers, Xu Xianzhi and the others actually executed the eldest brother and the second brother in private!

Although Liu Yiji also knows that it is impossible to be soft-hearted in the battle for the throne. But as long as he thought that the eldest brother and second brother, who had no power to resist, were strangled to death, he couldn't breathe as if he was also locked in his throat!

Liu Yiji couldn't guess whether the third brother felt the same way as him.

He couldn't guess whether Liu Yilong's pursuit of Xu Xianzhi's three sins was out of revenge for the eldest brother and second brother, or out of fear that Xu Xianzhi would abolish his throne when he would.

Liu Yiji doesn't understand, being an emperor can really make people no longer worry about family affection, whether it is a brother or a royal sister, can they be used?

Will there come a time when his most beloved third brother will also use him for the throne?

Liu Yiji looked at the secret decree in his hand and muttered, "Maybe, I'm already a chess piece......"

But in fact, this time, Liu Yiji blamed Liu Yilong by mistake. At least Liu Yilong didn't plan to attack Xu Xianzhi and others before receiving the letter from the Seventh Prince.

When the news of Qiu Chi and the Great Xia lockdown reached Jiankang, Liu Yilong was keenly aware that things had changed. He brought Hikozhi and Tan Dao Ji into the palace and asked them what they thought of the matter.

Hikozhi didn't say anything substantive for a long time.

Tan Daoji was silent for a long time, but accurately deduced the current battle situation, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare to guess." Between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty, I am afraid that a major war is imminent. ”

Since Tan Daoji took the initiative to inform Liu Yilong about Tan Zhaoyu's search for the jade seal, Liu Yilong's suspicion of this veteran has decreased a lot.

At this time, Tan Daoji's words were just like what Liu Yilong thought in his heart.

He nodded, "I coincide with what the general thinks. Therefore, I summoned the two Aiqing to come, which was to take this opportunity to assist me and revitalize the dynasty. ”

Liu Yilong stared at the two people in front of him for a while before he spoke, "Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang, who killed the monarch with their ministers and killed the young emperor, have been sent to Tingwei Prison pending trial. Xie Hui, the assassin of Jingzhou, also participated in the killing of the monarch, and in the Yangtze River area, he supported the army and respected himself. The wolf's ambition is obvious. I don't know if the two Aiqing are willing to crusade against the traitor for me? ”

Zhi Yanzhi was Liu Yilong's confidant who relied on him in Jingzhou, and he knelt down without hesitation at this time, "The minister is willing to remove this great trouble for the emperor." ”

Tan Daoji stood still, he knew that the emperor was not simply settling old scores, but to collect all the rights that were now scattered.

Although Tan Daoji and Wang Hong did not participate in the killing of the young emperor, on the day the emperor was abolished, they were also on the side of Xu Xianzhi and others. If they really dig deeper, he and Wang Hong will not be able to get any benefits.

It's just that Wang Hong is a member of the Langya Wang family, and his two nephews, Wang Hua and Wang Tanshou, followed Liu Yilong early.

Even if it is for the sake of the face of these two henchmen, Liu Yilong will spare Wang Hong's life.

Now that the northern border is about to be in chaos, no matter which country it is, it has no spare strength to send troops against Liu Song. At this time, it was the best time to clear Xie Hui, who had military power.

It's just that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, if Xie Hui is ambushed, will it be his turn to be Tan Daoji next?

Tan Daoji knelt on his knees at this time, kowtowed, and said, "Chen Dou Gu, I want to ask Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with Xie Hui?" ”

Liu Yilong raised his eyebrows, "What does the general think I should do with him?" ”

Tan Daoji kowtowed, "Xie Hui is an auxiliary minister of the Three Dynasties, and he is from the Xie clan of Chen County. He has made many military achievements for the imperial court. The minister thought that the emperor should give Xie Hui a chance. If he is willing to surrender, please ask the emperor to give him a lenient sentence. ”

Zhi Yanzhi said disdainfully, "The emperor uses people to be talented." Xie Hui, even if he is from the Xie family of Chen County? The clan has long since decayed, so what is there to fear? Xia Guan remembers that General Tan's wife is Xie's daughter, right? The general pleaded for Xie Hui like this, but he was deliberately partial? ”

Tan Daoji didn't care about Yanzhi's slander at all, he raised his head and said with a straight face, "The minister and the Xie family have already reconciled, and they have nothing to do with it, so please ask the emperor to learn from it." ”

Liu Yilong raised his hand to stop Yanzhi from wanting to refute, and asked Tan Daojidao, "The general said that I should give Xie Hui a chance to surrender, so what if he doesn't surrender?" ”

Tan Daoji clenched his fists, "The minister is willing to persuade him to surrender in person as a consolation envoy." If Xie Hui insists on resisting, the minister will also escort him back to Jiankang with his own hands and wait for the emperor's fate. ”

Liu Yilong nodded, seemingly satisfied with Tan Daoji's answer, he said lightly, "Xie Hui has formed a powerful naval division in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and in this battle, the two generals will each lead 20,000 troops to resist the enemy together." ”

Tan Daoji and Zhi Yanzhi knocked on the leader's order at the same time, "The minister obeys the order." ”

-- The Dividing Line --

When Liu Yilong took advantage of the chaos in the north and took the opportunity to clear out dissidents, Tan Invite Yu also waited in Beiliang for two days.

In the past two days, Frustrated Qu Mengxun has purged all the inside and outside of Zhangye.

Because of the bewitchment of Zoroastrianism, the generals who deliberately turned a blind eye to the smoke of the horseshoe temple, as well as the Huangmen squire who intercepted the military information without permission, were all sentenced to capital punishment and harmed the nine clans.

Beiliang was in turmoil for a while, and countless officials were implicated.

Fuqu Mengxun was a little afraid, and preaching was forbidden in Beiliang, but he didn't expect to take advantage of the Zoroastrian religion and absorb several officials from the DPRK and China to become believers under his nose.

If Jiang Qian hadn't gone to Zhangye first and killed the Zoroastrian sect in charge of leading this group of sects, even if Fuqu Mengxun returned to the palace safely, he would have been afraid of a mutiny in the face of him.

Two days was not enough time for interrogation and conviction, and Meng Xun was completely unable to get out of his body at this time.

But Guangwu's military situation is urgent, and there is no way to wait any longer.

After Frustration Meng Xun regained control of the palace, the military newspaper was gradually sorted out.

This time, it was the younger brother of the current emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Helianding, the king of the plains. Although he only brought 20,000 horses, under the cover of Zoroastrianism and Western Qin, he approached Guangwu City without warning and took the defenders by surprise.

Frustrated Meng Xun had no choice but to assign a general and lead the troops to support Guangwu City first.

Tan Zhaoyu refused to be retained by Fuqu Mengxun, and directly took his No. 20 people and followed the first batch of the Beiliang Army Pioneer Battalion to Guangwu City. Sure enough, there were no obstacles along the way.

Invite Yu couldn't help but guess, is this because of the power of Xingshilou, or is it the coercion of bamboo slips?

The Beiliang army marched almost day and night, just wanting to arrive in Guangwu City one day earlier and rescue the people in the city.

Although Tan Yuyu said that she believed that the master was not a ruthless person, she had no bottom in her heart. In the face of the 20,000-strong Great Xia Army, the master is just a fortune teller who knows kung fu, can he still recruit heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?
