Chapter 784: Take a gamble
The territory of the seven counties, according to the plan, is rushing forward step by step.
At the same time, the three county kings who went north to worship their ancestors finally had news.
The three county kings were 'escorted' by Jin Wuwei and went north to worship their ancestors. As a result, just out of the territory of the Southern Wei Dynasty, the three county kings were 'sick'!
Because of illness, he refused to move on.
If Jin Wuwei is persecuted, he will definitely seek death and life, and bluntly say that he will simply end his life with a glass of poisoned wine.
Of course, Jin Wuwei can't afford to 'force death' the three county kings.
Hard doesn't work, and neither does soft.
After all the good things to say, all kinds of analysis of the pros and cons, the three county kings are determined not to continue to go north. Under the pretext of being sick, just stop at the border.
In fact......
The three county kings are young, and the real person who is in charge is their biological mother.
Just like all the decisions of the king of Bushan County, they all came from the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, Zhong Shuyun.
He is a little kid, how can he know what family and country feelings are, and where can he know the true meaning behind ancestor worship.
He only knew that Bushan was very miserable, with either floods or insect infestations all year round, and his life was poor, and the population was small.
I can't even find a decent little friend.
If it weren't for his mother to protect him, his grandfather's family would have been sent to Bushan with truckloads of supplies year after year, and he would have 'starved to death'!
His mother told him that he should have been the emperor, living in the palace, with fine clothes and food, and gold and honor, instead of suffering in the deep mountains and old forests.
He hated everything in Jianzhou, hated the emperor's family, and hated his grandmother, Empress Dowager Tao.
Empress Dowager Tao kept saying that she cared about him and thought about him, but she never sent anyone to Bushan to visit him.
On the contrary, it was his grandfather's family, and there was never a shortage of his use.
Whatever he wants, as long as a letter, his grandmother will definitely find a way to satisfy him.
Now, the emperor ordered him and his two younger brothers to go north to worship their ancestors, clearly trying to kill him.
He doesn't want to die!
His life hasn't really begun yet.
All the way north, all the way to the terrified. The only person I can trust is my mother.
Whatever his mother says, he naturally listens to.
His mother told him to pretend to be sick and not to continue north, he must be obedient.
Not only must he be obedient, but his two younger brothers must also be obedient, otherwise he will exercise his brother's authority and beat them so that they know what is wrong.
Jin Wuwei urged and coerced again, he hid beside his mother, looked at those fierce and vicious Jin Wuwei, and was extremely afraid and hateful.
He didn't say a word, listening to his mother arguing with Jin Wuwei.
“…… Are you trying to force the three county kings to death? Didn't you see that they were all scared to death by you? This palace tells you that the three county kings have not recovered for a day, and they cannot advance for a day. If you don't accept it, you will kill our mother and son. This palace wants to see how vicious Xiao Chengwen is! ”
Another unhappy parting.
Jin Wuwei retreated, and Zhong Shuyun was tired.
She hugged her son King Bushan and whispered, "Don't be afraid of Jin Wuwei. They did not dare to do anything without the order of the emperor. Moreover, the place chosen by Hongu himself is very particular. Soon, our mother and son will be able to get out of the sea of suffering. ”
King Bushan looked stunned, "Will anyone come to save us?" ”
"Yes, someone will come to our rescue. These days, stay away from those two cubs and don't mix with them. The two concubines want to call you brothers and sisters, but they are not worthy. You have to remember that you are the eldest prince, and the throne should have been yours. This palace will definitely snatch the throne back for you. ”
As soon as they came out of the Southern Wei Dynasty, the three county kings began to 'get sick' and refused to take a step.
All this, of course, was planned by Zhong Shuyun.
Moreover, the place she chose to stay was very particular.
Borderline, regardless of both.
On one side is the North Liang, on the other side is Yuzhou.
Strictly speaking, it is the territory of Pingwu Marquis Shiwen.
She deliberately chose this place just to contact Shi Wen.
She discussed with her confidants, "The first emperor had the grace of knowing Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, and it was he who resolutely opposed the passing of the throne to Xiao Chengwen at the beginning.
As soon as Xiao Chengwen ascended the throne, he dismissed him as prime minister and drove him back to Yuzhou. Based on these things, Bengong firmly believes that Shi Wen and Xiao Chengwen are definitely not a heart.
Moreover, when Yan Yunge pulled Shi Wen to openly support the emperor and suppress the dispute over the country, Shi Wen chose to refuse. It can be seen that he still thinks about the kindness of the first emperor in his heart. ”
However, Shi Wen also helped Xiao Chengwen fight Beiliang, and also helped Yan Yunge beat Beiliang. He is clearly a snake and a mouse, and the slave and maid are worried about him...... It's better to contact Yan Yunge.
She openly grabbed the territory of the imperial court and openly fought with the imperial court, which was much stronger than Shi Wen. Moreover, the county lord of Pingyang also opposed Xiao Chengwen's extermination of the three county kings......"
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!"
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun interrupted her confidant's words.
She said angrily: "Contact Yan Yunge, do you want to kill the palace and the prince?" You forgot, Yan Yunge and the queen are sisters, if you were you, do you support your sisters, or do you support unrelated people?
Moreover, when Bengong was young, she was not on the same page as Yan Yunge, she had been looking at me for a long time, how could she help Bengong. Compared with Yan Yunge, this palace trusts Shi Wen more. Anyway, the first emperor had the grace of knowing Shi Wen, and he was reasonable, and Shi Wen couldn't ignore the palace's request for help. ”
The confidant is really worried about Shi Wen's character.
Shi Wen has always been profit-oriented, just kind and righteous, can he really move him?
"What if Shi Wen refuses to help Niangniang and the prince, refuses to send troops, or even betrays the Niangniang and the prince? The slave maid did not intend to slander Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen, the slave maid just thought that everything must be prepared for the worst, and all hope should not be placed on Shi Wen. ”
Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun scolded angrily, "Then what do you let this palace do?" Give up Shi Wen and choose Yan Yunge? Or do you want to contact Liu Zhang? Liu Zhang is treacherous and insidious, the palace and the prince fall into his hands, can he still live?
Fortunately, the palace was smart and chose the nearest two places to settle in Yuzhou. Liu Zhang threw a mouse bogey, so he didn't dare to send someone to arrest the palace. Now, it has come to this point, there is no way back, this palace is willing to take the risk of contacting Shi Wen, and will never contact Yan Yunge. ”
"The slave maid is saying that if, if there is no movement on Shi Wen's side, how is it good?"
Zhong Shuyun gritted her teeth, "The letter has been sent, and I will wait for another half a month at most." Half a month later, if there is still no movement from Shi Wen's place, then think of another way. How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine, this palace is not afraid, what are you afraid of. There will be a way out, there will be a way out. ”
She's gambling!
The henchman knows it, and she knows it herself.
The first emperor has been dead for several years, and Xiao Chengwen has already sat firmly as emperor.
At this time, with the kindness of the first emperor to impress Shi Wen, five or five counts, no one dares to pack a ticket will definitely succeed.
Since it is a kindness, you have to cash it out as soon as possible and get this favor back as soon as possible.
Time has dragged on for a long time, people have changed, love has faded, and there are still a few points left in the heart of Enyi, no one can say.
Zhong Shuyun refused to leave on the grounds that the king of Bushan County was 'sick'.
forced her to go, so she took her son King Bushan County to seek death and life.
She just bet that Jin Wuwei didn't dare to really kill their mother and son.
Bet on Emperor Xiao Chengwen to have a little face.
Gambling on the border, just in case, even if the emperor wanted to kill their mother and son, he would not kill people at this time in this place.
As for the situation between the King of Jufeng County and the King of Lurong County, Zhong Shuyun didn't care.
The two stinky boys can bear the pressure, and if they can't bear it, they will get out, and it is better to be a substitute for the dead.
The biological mother of the two stinky boys, it's better to die!
Jin Wuwei was very passive, so he could only send someone to expedite 800 miles and return to Jianzhou to ask Emperor Xiao Chengwen.
Is it killing?
Is it chopping?
Or just stun it, stuff it into the carriage, and send it to the imperial tomb?
No matter what you do, you need the emperor's instructions.
Jin Wuwei was so bold that he didn't dare to kill the prince of the court and the queen mother of the dynasty without a will.
Don't forget, the courtiers who fight for the country's foundation, and the world's scholars, are all staring at them.
If they dared to mess around, they asked their heads to fall to the ground and bury the three county kings.
Before Emperor Xiao Chengwen received the news, Shi Wen, Marquis of Pingwu, took the lead and received a distress letter from Empress Dowager Xiaoxian Zhong Shuyun.
This made him a little embarrassed.
The eldest son, Shi La, is very positive, "Father, the son is willing to personally lead the troops to save the mother and son." ”
Pingwu Hou Shi Wen glared at his eldest son Shi La, "What about the Queen Mother's mother and son after saving it?" Have you figured out how to do it? It's easy to save people, but it's hard how to deal with the aftermath. ”
Shi Wax was very excited, "With the Queen Mother's mother and son in hand, you can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." The son can also slaughter the other two county kings by the way, and blame Jin Wuwei, which is equivalent to marrying the emperor.
The son has long looked at the emperor unpleasantly.
Liu Zhang became the emperor, and Yan Shouzhan was given the title of prince, but his father worked hard and didn't get anything. was kicked out of the imperial court and returned to Yuzhou. I can't swallow this breath no matter what. ”
Pingwu Hou Shi Wen put his hands behind his back, his face hesitant.
Zhong Shuyun deliberately delayed time and stayed at the border, and his intentions were self-evident.
As he said before, it is simple to save people from Jin Wuwei, the key is that after the incident, others will first suspect him.
Unless, he made up his mind to proclaim the banner of support for the struggle of the country and oppose the emperor.
What about the benefits?
What benefit can he gain from this?
"Father, don't hesitate. The son is worried that something will change later, and Jin Wuwei may preemptively kill people first. We sent troops to save people at this time, also out of repaying the kindness of the previous emperor. The emperor is perverse, ruthless and unjust, our Shi family can't help the evil! ”
Shi Wen stared at him, "This is the reason you came up with and explained to the people of the world?" ”
"Isn't that enough?"
"Then have you ever thought about what you will do after saving the Queen Mother's mother and son? Is it possible to support the king of Bushan County to ascend the throne and get another Great Wei court to come out? ”
"This ...... The son thought that this was the right thing to do. Liu Zhang can be the emperor, and of course his father can also be the emperor. It's a big deal, the son sent troops to grab the territory, and he grabbed the territory of the Southern Wei court. ”
Pingwu Hou Shi Wen frowned, struggling and hesitating in his heart.
"Father, don't hesitate! We've missed the opportunity to take the Northlands, should we miss the opportunity to get it to the door this time? ”
