Chapter 6: The Love-Hate Relationship between the Helian Clan and the Northern Kingdom
"The Helian family is serious this time, Chengping Gong Helian Bai has long had a heart of disobedience, the emperor has said a few times openly and secretly, but it has little effect, this time he simply sent a dead man to assassinate Helian Bai, I originally wanted to let Helian Bai die, the sons of the Helian family fought infighting, and took the opportunity to weaken the power of the Helian clan, but I didn't expect ......"
This is Gu Fengmao's voice.
Wang's tone was fierce: "The emperor is confused! Helian Bai is not so easy to assassinate, and the sons of the Helian family are by no means idle, this move is not only reckless, but also too risky. ”
Gu Fengmao couldn't agree more with Wang's words, but it had happened, so he could only sigh and say: "Yes, I also advised the emperor like this at the time, but I couldn't stand the emperor's insistence. ”
"Listening to the report from the post station, the Helian clan has divided the troops into two routes, all the way to the outside of Shanhaiguan, all the way to send messengers from the official road to escort those assassins into Beijing to confront the confront, this time the confrontation is difficult, a little bit of difference, I am afraid of ......"
After Gu Fengmao said this, there was silence for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.
Then Wang added in a slightly trembling voice: "This will ...... Do you want to come to Jiankang? ”
This sentence is also what Gu Banqin wants to ask.
Gu Banqin lived in peace for more than 20 years in her previous life, thanks to the strength of the motherland.
However, I occasionally learned from the news media that not all the whole world develops peacefully, local wars never stop, and the cruelty of war is not limited to countries......
After crossing over, she just wanted to live here peacefully for the rest of her life, but Gu Banqin also knew that no one could say for sure that there was such a thing as a war.
Even if Gu Fengmaogui is the prime minister of a country and has a high power, but when the two armies fight, they kill a high-powered person, after all, this can play a good role in killing chickens and monkeys.
After Wang finished asking, Gu Fengmao was silent.
Silence means that as long as the matter of the Helian clan's confrontation in Beijing is slightly worse this time, then it will only be a matter of time before the Helian clan hits Kang Jian.
A catastrophe is coming, everyone in the Gu family is in danger, where do they still have the intention of gathering people to eat?
But the dishes are ready anyway, and it's a waste not to eat them, and the Wang family didn't even come out of the room, so he simply ordered the mother around him to inform everyone and send the aunts and sons back to the courtyards.
And the various dishes on the table were also divided and sent to each courtyard.
Cuiwei Courtyard was divided into dishes with low specifications, only three small stir-fries, two stacks of indiscriminate dim sum, plus a small bowl of fish and soup, big fish and big meat or something must not be their turn, it must be sent to Aunt Liu and Aunt Song's yard.
When Gu Banqin thought about it, she felt a pity, because everyone was shocked to hear the news of Helian's rebellion, Aunt Liu and Aunt Song may not be able to eat now, and a lot of good dishes will probably be wasted, but she has a wide heart and can eat as much as she wants.
But what she waited for was only these light dishes in front of her, but fortunately there were two stacks of dim sum, one of which was the stack of fragrant honey cakes that she had just been coveting in the hall.
Aunt Duan and Gu Banqin sat down to eat, and to their surprise, both mother and daughter had good appetites.
Gu Banqin looked at Aunt Duan, who had no bad appetite at all, and pondered.
Although her mother is just an aunt in the house, she has a temperament that is not chaotic, and she has changed her identity, at least she is also an outstanding talent in her personal field.
Just based on Aunt Duan's imminent danger, she was as stable as Mount Tai when she heard the news of the turmoil, and she ate with her daughter without changing her face, it can be judged that Aunt Duan is actually a little smart.
In the general environment, Gu Banqin and the others are all small shrimps that flow along the water, and they are worried that they are doing useless work, so it is better to put their minds at ease, anyway, there is a high top when the sky falls, it is better to eat and sleep.
Since Gu Fengmao came back that day, he has never shown his face in the Gu Mansion again, and Gu Banqin knows with his toes that the current high-level people in the northern country, in the face of the ill-intentioned and approaching Helian clan, are probably burning their eyebrows and trying to find a way to resolve this matter peacefully.
Her father, as the prime minister of a country, was trapped in the cabinet of the imperial court and discussed countermeasures with a group of high-ranking officials day and night.
Speaking of the grievances and hatreds between the Helian clan and the Zhao clan in the northern country, in fact, it is nothing more than that the Helian clan has a huge power, supports the army and is self-respecting, and has high merits.
On the one hand, the northern kingdom governs the country, advocating the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, emphasizing the etiquette and law, valuing the family and the family, and respecting the Helian family, the overlord of the northern country, who protects the peace of the northern country, the northern royal family is in awe, but it is contemptuous, feeling that the Helian clan made a fortune by force and brute force, with a vulgar character and incomprehensible romance.
On the other hand, the ancestral home of the Helian clan originated in the Western Wilderness, and the ancestors have been men who have been begging for a living on the horse for generations.
At the beginning, the Helian family and the ancestors of the northern country were just because of the grace of a meal, and the Helian family was loyal to the Zhao family of the northern country, helping the ancestors of the northern country to lay down a vast territory and establish a generation of northern power.
But in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Northern Kingdom, the existence of the Helian clan is like a sharp knife on the head of the emperor of the northern country, reminding the northern royal family from time to time that without the Helian clan, there would be no establishment of the northern country.
The current emperor of the Northern Kingdom, Emperor Wen Guang, seems to be humble and polite, but in fact he is mean and unkind, and conceited.
The villain, the far virtuous minister, the absurdity is even worse than the ancestors of the northern kingdom, on the surface he respects the Helian clan, but secretly he has been thinking about solving the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of the Helian clan.
And sending someone to assassinate Helian Bai, the Duke of Cheng'en, with the intention of subverting Helian's family and using the extralegal land of the Western Wilderness has become a problem that Emperor Wen Guang thinks about day and night, and it turns out that he did the same.
But the actual situation is that he used this trick to fully explain what are the two sayings of 'stealing chickens and rice' and 'lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot'.
Cheng Engong didn't succeed, but completely provoked the Helian clan.
Originally, the Helian family had already dominated the party, and from the beginning of the establishment of the northern kingdom, the Helian clan was personally promised by the founding emperor of the northern kingdom at that time, and the absolute autonomy of military autonomy and tax autonomy.
The Helian clan was not restricted by the imperial court from the beginning, and the Helian army was expanded year by year, growing year by year, and after a hundred years, its military strength expanded to the now famous 780,000 Helian Iron Army in the Western Wilderness, holding the 780,000 army, and the Helian clan was dominant in the Western Wilderness, occupying an area of king.
