460. Accumulation of strength in the north and south
When the frost fell, Liu Yilong received news from Yingfeng. When Yingfeng left, he didn't explain to Liu Yilong what he was going to do. Just say that there are some urgent matters to deal with. As a result, as soon as I left, I was never heard from.
When Liu Yilong was about to offer a reward on the emperor's list, Yingfeng finally sent him a letter through the secret guard. As a result, Liu Yilong almost jumped like thunder after reading it!
He pointed to the bamboo slip that was thrown on the desk, and asked the secret guard who sent the message with an angry face: "What do you mean by resignation?!" When he was an official in the palace, he called casually? If you want to quit?! Now is the time for me to employ people, he left so suddenly, and he has to take a group of secret guards with him, but he still puts me in his eyes!? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently, even coughing and wheezing, and the dark guard wanted to step forward to help him smooth his back.
The dark guard sighed in his heart, and he was also very contradictory. As a member of the descendants of the Ying family, he naturally hoped that Gongzi could reach the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, so that their sacrifices for several generations could be regarded as rewarding.
But Childe has never been interested in this. Even if the elders of the clan had already relented and agreed to his change of surname, Gongzi never responded. What's even more strange is that this resignation, even the elders of the clan did not come forward to stop it. Although it is a pity that this official position is lost, he can only obey orders.
On the other hand, after Yingfeng left, the secret guard actually obeyed his orders and protected Liu Yilong's secret guard at all times. Most of them were originally from Jingwei, and they didn't get along with this emperor for a day or two. Everyone saw that Liu Yilong's temperament was getting bigger and bigger day by day.
Since the death of the Empress Dowager last year, Liu Yilong has become no longer restrained, and has done his best to suppress a group of old ministers. Recently, the DPRK and China have been in an uproar because of the matter of the country, and Liu Yilong has not been able to suppress it even if he tries his best.
Under the anxiety, the emperor, who was originally raised by medicinal soup, finally got seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed for more than ten days. At this time, as soon as his condition improved, he received the news that Yingfeng was going to resign.
The dark guard pondered for a moment and said, "The young master is actually afraid that the emperor will be embarrassed. He was neither willing to change his surname, nor to live up to the emperor's expectations. Now that the young master is outside, it is not all useless to the emperor. At least as a ranger, the news is still much better known to the DPRK. ”
Liu Yilong's chest gasped like a bellows, and his face turned red, "If you don't do a good secret guard and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, you have to be a charlatan!" That Ranger Boss is so attractive!? ”
The dark guard sighed, the Ranger leader is naturally not attractive, and the Viable Building is not a casual bandit lair...... It's a pity that these words can't be told to Liu Yilong before Yingfeng agrees.
The secret guard knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Yilong and hugged his fist and said, "Most of the original Jing guards will continue to stay in the palace to protect the emperor." The young master only ordered a few of us to take away, which was also convenient for him to act in the future. The young master said that although he and the emperor, although one is high in the temple and the other is low in the market, they will always work together to protect the Han family. The young master believes that you will definitely become a generation of Ming Jun. ”
After the secret guard finished speaking, he kowtowed to Liu Yilong three times in a row, which was regarded as a friendship between the guest and the host, and saw that Liu Yilong waved his hand at him weakly, and then retreated and left the dormitory. With a few secret guards named by Yingfeng, he left the palace directly and headed towards Qingzhou.
Liu Yilong looked at the bamboo slips on the desk, suddenly became angry, and waved everything in his hand to the ground. The palace people outside heard the noise, and came in in a panic and knelt on the ground, waiting for the fate.
Liu Yilong looked at the mess on the ground, and suddenly felt powerless, "The seventh brother doesn't want to be involved in the affairs of the court, and now even you have to leave...... I'm really going to be alone......"
But what can be done now? Yingfeng cut first and then played, and only came to resign after leaving. Now even if Liu Yilong doesn't agree, it's impossible to really send the emperor list to arrest people, right?
He commanded the trembling attendants on the ground, "Summons the Seventh Prince into the palace." Other than that...... Sent a decree to Zhongshu Province to prepare for the selection of concubines after the beginning of spring next year......"
This tug-of-war between the emperor and his ministers that has been stalemate for a long time will eventually end with Liu Yilong's compromise. He knew very well in his heart that there were very few people available to him. If you continue to fight with the ministers in order to keep the future crown prince of the emperor's eldest son, you will not get any practical benefits in the end. It's better to take advantage of this concubine selection to win over some families who are dedicated to their side.
On the second day after the Seventh Prince entered the palace, Emperor Liu Song issued an edict and named Liu Yiji as the general of the conquest. Due to the young age of the Seventh Prince, this official position is actually only in name, and it is purely a good-looking official title on the royal face. But it has also sent a clear signal to the ministers that the emperor is going to reuse the seventh prince.
Leaving aside the chaotic internal situation of the Southern Song Dynasty. Tuoba Tao finally won a decisive victory against the remnants of the Great Xia army and recovered the Central Plains in one fell swoop. It's just that Helianding took advantage of the chaos to run. According to the prisoners of war, he was instructed before the Great Wei invaded Pingliang and ran away with a team of men. As for who this man is, it is impossible to find out.
Helian Ding, the emperor, did it for a short time. In fact, after he established himself as emperor, he also asked for peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty. It's a pity that Tuoba Tao didn't give him the slightest room for bargaining. Either you will bow down or you will be swept away.
As Yun Daosheng once speculated, Helian Ding did not stop doing two things, and chose to fight to the end with Wei Jun. If Helian Ding was really in Tongwan City at that time, I am afraid that many people would have died because of his decision.
Although Helian Ding was brave, the difference in strength between the two armies was really huge. Cui Hao also finally solved the problem of food and grass for the Wei army. When the Northern Wei army marched eastward, Helianding fled in this almost crushing battle.
The Northern Wei Dynasty won a great victory, and Tuoba Tao was in a very good mood. It's just that when he returned to Pingcheng Palace, he felt bored again. Cui Hao was busy all day long, so naturally he didn't have time to chat with him. Although there is Yingyan in the harem, Tuoba Tao does not want to give the courtiers the impression that he has been lingering in the harem.
After thinking about it, Tuoba Tao could only find someone to ask: "Is there any news from the national teacher recently?" Didn't he say that he would go to Lingshan to find the treasure so that he could put it in the Heavenly Master Taoist Temple in the city? Why haven't you come back for a few months? ”
How did Zong Ai, who was called for questioning, know why Kou Qianzhi didn't come back after a few months of leaving, he could only smile cautiously: "That Lingshan Supreme Treasure must not be so easy to take, otherwise wouldn't everyone have attained the Dao Immortal?" It took several months for the national teacher to learn, which shows the rarity and preciousness of this treasure. When you come back, the incense at four o'clock in the new Taoist temple will continue to be offered, and it will be able to bless the Great Wei Guozuo for a long time. ”
Tuoba Tao nodded when he heard this, and he was not as anxious as Fang Cai, "Now that the Central Plains has been decided, I still have to ask the national teacher how to act next." ”
Zong Ai was secretly shocked, although when he fought with Great Xia before, several fortune calculations given by Kou Qianzhi were successful. But Tuoba Tao actually skipped Cui Hao and other courtiers, and asked Kou Qianzhi's opinion first. I really didn't expect His Majesty to rely on Kou Qianzhi to this point.
And Kou Qianzhi, who was remembered by Tuoba Tao in his heart, was preparing to leave for the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time.
