Chapter 16 - Each scheming
This night, Ji Shen summoned Kang Ronghua to serve, Mu Biwei fell asleep not long ago, heard the sound of the back window, so he lazily asked, after a while, Nie Yuansheng turned out of the screen, and after entering the account, he first hugged her and kissed her hard, and then undressed and went to the bed, the two made love, Nie Yuansheng said casually: "The matter of Xuelanguan is going to be a big trouble." ”
"Huh?" Mu Biwei leaned on him, a little tired and unconscious.
Nie Yuansheng's tone could not hide the schadenfreude: "Rouran people copied countless copies of his handwritten letters back then, shot them into the gate with arrows and stones, and sent thousands of books overnight. ”
“…… What did you do? Mu Bi opened his eyes slightly, and looked at his side face through the faint light of the palace lamp covered with thick gauze outside the tent.
"Nature." Nie Yuansheng exhaled and said with a smile, "All the benefits I have gained from the concubines over the years have been thrown in......," his voice cooled, "These damn barbarians...... But it doesn't matter, sooner or later, the money will fall back into Ni Zhen's hands, and when the time comes, you can get it back, and if you can't get it back, it's in Daliang......"
Mu Biwei was surprised: "Why is it spent here?" ”
"It's faster." Nie Yuansheng turned his head, his eyes were as bright as stars in the dimness, "I can't wait any longer!" He said this, closed his eyes again, and said helplessly, "If you delay it any longer......"
Mu Bi was slightly silent, and then asked, "Is the money enough?" If it's not enough......"
"That's enough." Nie Yuansheng smiled and said, "Do you still want to give me your private room?" Don't leave it to Lang? ”
"Has this been reported to Your Majesty now?" Mu Bi smiled inadvertently, pushing him to ask.
Nie Yuansheng shook his head: "The news is from the spies left by my grandfather, Ni Zhen eight out of ten. Nine will blockade...... He will first take his own soldiers to extinguish this Rouran, and then he will defend himself in the name of killing the Rouran Khan in the previous submission, Your Majesty is estimated to end the spring hunt when he learns of this matter! ”
"You're going to let him kill him?" Mu Biwei remembered that the money he said earlier would fall into Ni Zhen's hands, and frowned and asked.
Nie Yuansheng said: "Yes, I have sent dead soldiers to lurk in that Rouran, and Ni Zhen can't chase them...... At a critical time, the dead man will assassinate the commander in order to buy time for the pursuers - although Ni Zhen is jealous, he is not without talent! This matter is related to Ni Zhenzhen's future and the life of his family, and he said that he would kill those Rouran people! ”
"And then?" Mu Biwei originally thought that he had bought off Rouran's book in Guanzhong, made a big deal about it, and then justifiably exposed the events of that year......
But Nie Yuansheng said: "Then he will find many things related to a certain nobleman in Yedu in the spoils of the posthumous war of those Rouran people who surrendered the book. ”
“…… King Anping? Mu Biwei was taken aback, "Do you want them to fight among themselves?" But Ni Zhen let King Anping demote at most...... Is it a question of whether it can be lowered? We...... But I want to kill King Anping! ”
"Infighting?" Nie Yuansheng sneered, "It's just an introduction...... he whispered a few words in his ear, Mu Biwei looked surprised, and then covered his mouth and said, "Will it involve my father?" ”
Nie Yuansheng said indifferently: "Have you forgotten Ni Zhen?" ”
Mu Bi pondered for a long time, suddenly reached out and hugged him hard, and said with a sigh: "But I hope everything is as you say!" ”
"Even if there is a change, I am not a dead man." Nie Yuansheng was in a good mood, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her again......
………………………………………………………………………………………………
There was only a small piece of moonlight shining into the cold palace, and more places were heavy shadows.
Qu Shi came in shadows, looked up at the moon ring in the sky, the moon in March, although it was the middle of the month, but it was still unclear, hazy, and made people feel extraordinarily cold.
The half-worn crimson dress she wore was a rich black in the shadows.
A sparse voice came out from the corner of the wall, Qu Shi stood still, and asked in a clear voice, "Who?" ”
"Girl." A figure strode towards the sword, and it could be seen that the outfit was the Flying Crane Guard in the palace.
Qu nodded, and no longer moved forward, but asked, "Is there any new news?" ”
"Something happened to Xue Languan." Feihewei in the darkness said in a deep voice, "Rouran threw more than a thousand books with arrows and stones in one night!" Ni Zhen was jealous of Ye Zigui and jealous of Mu Qi and transferred himself to Baling for the sake of his discord with Ye Zigui, which caused the edge of Snow Blue Pass! ”
Qu Shi said: "Didn't mention King Anping? What happened back then...... Isn't it the mastermind of King Anping? Otherwise, where would Ni Zhen betray Mu Qi so quickly? ”
The flying crane guard was also extremely puzzled: "The lord also said the same, the subordinates are ignorant and can't guess, so the lord asked his subordinates to take advantage of tonight's duty to inform the girl." ”
"Rouran's submission must be fueled by others." Qu Shi didn't want to think about it, and said, "Let's not say that it is very useful for Rouran to keep Ni Zhen, there is no need to tear his face like this!" More than 1,000 submissions overnight...... Rouran is ignorant, how many people in their clan can read my Central Plains documents? Even if these more than 1,000 submissions are accumulated, this one is soft, but the battle for the position of the khan is lost, so I have to ask Ni Zhen for help to seize the throne, since I am defeated, I am afraid that I will have to avoid the pursuit of the new khan, where did the handwriting come from so costly arrows? You must know that there is no iron in the softness! Before the contact with the Central Plains, they used wooden arrows, even wooden arrows they can't spend at will, in the end, there is more grass on the grassland, but not more forests, and not all wood can make wooden arrows! Isn't it the same as scolding before the gate to pass the message? It's just that it didn't become such a sensation as quickly as the book! ”
The flying crane said: "What the girl said is extremely true, but this person who fuels the troubles ......"
"It is inseparable from the herdsman's family." Qu said, "But whoever pushes the trouble to find out is meaningless to us now, if this matter does us a favor, well, Ni Zhen must be blocking the news and trying to eliminate the mouth now, he can't kill all the people in Xuelan Pass, then it is to chase and kill Rouran...... The first few times you came over, didn't you say that the court praised him because he happened to meet a certain prince of Rouran when he was taking people out of the customs to inspect, and shot him to death? I guess what kind of prince God knows if there is such a thing...... Most of them were unable to talk to Rouran at that time and were ready to get rid of their crimes. ”
After pondering for a moment, Qu commanded, "Spread this matter in the name of Shang Jia or the side in Yedu!" ”
After a little pondering, Feihewei understood her plan, and his spirit perked up, and he said, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
"Remember, we must not be found to have done it." Qu Shi commanded with a solemn expression, "It's best to let King Anping think that it has something to do with the Mu family!" After a pause, she said to herself, "Of course, the Mu family must be able to guess that it is us...... Well, fortunately, Mu Qi and Mu Shi are now driving with them, and before the holy car comes back, everyone in Ye will know about it, Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan, and Ye Zigui will join the family, and Ye Shunhua will be wronged! ”
"It's best, buy or move a few leaves or the old department of the herdsman's family, you don't have to have a good relationship with the two families, if you move too well, you will definitely be noticed, but there must be a relationship, and it's best to make up some kindness...... came from the northwest to sue the royal court, and Ni Zhen's crime was confirmed! ”
Qu Shi exhaled and said with a slight smile: "Mu Qi, Wuying County Prince, Rongchang County Prince, Daddy...... Who will go to the northwest to pick up Ni Zhen's handsome seal? ”
…………………………………………………………………………………………
"I must not go!" Duke Wuying said with a solemn expression, raised his hand and put the pigeon letter that Ye Du had just arrived on the candle in his hand and burned it.
Mrs. Wu Yingjun frowned and said, "Of course you can't go!" We have always had the least manpower in the northwest, and it was easy for my father-in-law to arrange people to go in, because Mu Qi had been in the town of Xuelan Pass back then, and as a result, most of the people died after Taining was lost in five years...... Let's talk about the foundation of the pastoral family in the northwest......"
The husband and wife both understand very well that the fourth prince is considered to be very likely to be the prince, half of it is because of his biological mother, but Queen Duanming is dead, even if the He family is thinking of the position of the queen mother, and trying their best to support it, without the help of the Su family who is connected by blood, where can they fight Mu Biwei's mother and son? After all, the herdsman's family is thin, and he is not afraid of the scene of the Manchu dynasty surnamed Mu after the Empress Dowager Mu!
For this point alone, if you can only choose between the three princes and the four princes, the Yedu family will choose the three princes!
Therefore, the Duke of Wuying County must not go to the northwest - who knows what secret hands the Mu family has in the northwest, and he turned around and sent the corpse of the Duke of Wuying back, and there are still two options for Rouran and Ni Zhen to be planted, how could the Mu family let go of such an opportunity!
"Mu Qi probably won't be able to go." Duke Wuying sighed and said: "Although the rumors say that Ni Zhen colluded with Rouran to plot against him, the problem is that Ni Zhen is the general he pulled out after all!" When he colluded with Rouran, he was still a subordinate of Mu Qi, even if Mu Qi was not plotted, he should be charged with not knowing people and employing unknown people, the Mu family has been based in the northwest for several generations, and the court will definitely discuss that if it is Rou Ran's slander of Ni Zhen, Mu Qi forced Ni Zhen to admit the crime of collaborating with the enemy in order to clear the responsibility of failing the customs back then! Therefore, there must be people who will resolutely oppose Mu Qi's return to the northwest! ”
Mrs. Wu Yingjun smiled bitterly and said: "Zuo Xiang, alas, ......" In fact, the most convenient and fastest person to investigate the truth must be Mu Qi, and only his prestige overpowers Ni Zhen, which can avoid Ni Zhen from being in charge of the army for many years, refusing to return to Ye to accept a thorough investigation and launch a mutiny!
The problem is that the current Zuo Prime Minister King Anping will definitely not let Mu Qi go!
Since Ni Zhen is considered to be collaborating with the enemy, the Northwest Shuaiyin, there are only a few people in the court who can be in charge, except for Mu Qi, Su Ping, Gao Chuan, Qu Jia, which are very unfamiliar with the Northwest, after all, since the former Wei, the Northwest has always been guarded by the Mu family, this dynasty before Mu Qi, are several Han generals out of the town, since Ni Zhen was able to take charge of the Shuai Yin immediately after Mu Qi was escorted back to Yedu for the loss of the Snow Blue Pass, and soon officially took charge of the Northwest Army, naturally he is also very prestigious and capable.
Gao Chuan: These people don't have Mu Qi's natural advantage in the Northwest Army, and it's not easy to take charge of the Commander Yin - the Northwest and Yingzhou are different!
Yingzhou, across the river from Southern Qi, the problem is that Southern Qi is weaker than Northern Liang, and Jiangnan is rich, Qi people do not want to go to war from the bottom of their hearts, and it is best for the two countries to be peaceful forever...... Not to mention the ordinary Qi people, it is the royal family, and even Empress Qiu, who is considered to be more wise than Emperor Chengping, doesn't she want a beacon fire on the border between the two countries?
Moreover, the Heavenly Trench Nuchuan was able to stop Liang Gaozu's southward movement back then, and it was not so easy for Southern Qi to go north!
Therefore, the Yingzhou army is easy to marshal, even if it is separated from the Southern Qi River, but there is also time for Qu Jia and Lou Wangu, the two commanders before and after, to slowly adjust and subdue little by little......
But the Northwest Army is not!
Rou Ran don't look at the civil strife just now, that is, there is no civil strife, they do not have a very mature and rigorous system like the Central Plains, and their khans cannot completely control the tribes, and occasionally there are a few tribes that are disobedient, which is not surprising...... And even if the side that loses the battle for the throne, if it knows that the Northwest Army has changed commanders, it is estimated that it will not mind discussing with the new Khan, and first go to the territory of Daliang to make some money......
With Rouran, the commander of the Northwest Army must be able to stabilize the overall situation in the fastest possible time! You must know that the rumors of Ni Zhen's collaboration with the enemy have been flying all over the sky...... If the snow blue pass is lost, there will be no more natural danger to enter the Central Plains!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu Yingjun couldn't help but change color, and said in a lost voice: "Ni Zhen's family is in the northwest, will he ...... Simply voted for Rouran? ”
"It's not so easy for him to cast Rouran." Duke Wuying said calmly, "Mu Qi is not stupid enough to be concealed by him for so many years, and if he doesn't say anything so far, he just hasn't got the evidence, so how can he not guard against Ni Zhen?" Ni Zhen was still promoted by Mu Qi, if he wanted to escape to Rouran alone, it was possible, and if he wanted to take his family, it would be a dream! ”
After a pause, he said again, "What's more, Daddy told me before he died, Nie Jiezhi ...... Now the grandfather of the servant who His Majesty trusts very much, was also very interested in the northwest during his lifetime, and he may not be able to sell it well to the Mu family...... Back then, even I couldn't tell whether it was true or false, hey! Is it the person who can see the jade seal from time to time......"
"So this time, the candidate is either Gao Chuan or Qu Jiao." Wu Yingjun Gong's expression was gloomy, "It's best to pass it on!" He left Yedu, and the Gao family lost its backbone...... You can use the Queen Mother to contain other families! But if it's a curl clip......"
