Chapter 705: Rebel Son
Liu Zhang closed his eyes in disappointment.
Before he fell asleep, his worst fears finally happened.
When he realized that he had been poisoned, and this was a game that Yan Yunge had set up for the battlefield ahead, he was speechless and unable to move.
Every time he struggled to wake up, he tried his best, trying to tell the servants around him and the courtiers that he was not allowed to withdraw from the army, and he must not retreat.
Even if he really died, he couldn't retreat.
It is easy to lose the territory, and it is even more difficult to get it back.
With Yan Yunge's methods, she has countless ways to strengthen her control over the territory of several coastal counties.
Sooner or later, the people and the land there will willingly submit to her, and die for her, and fight for her.
Never allowed!
He couldn't tolerate watching Yan Yunge's conspiracy succeed.
It is even more intolerable to watch Yan Yunge become bigger and stronger and become a force competing for hegemony in the world.
Never!
However......
Reality is always disappointing.
He's poisoned!
The second poisoning increased the burden on the body.
Fell into a coma faster than the first intoxication.
He couldn't speak, he couldn't move.
He could barely blink, but the people around him didn't know what he was thinking.
Self-righteously made a decision for him.
I thought that stabilizing the palace, stabilizing the capital, and recalling the prince outside as quickly as possible was a great achievement and the correct disposal.
I don't know......
This is the most stupid.
It's Yan Yunge's dang!
What she wants is the current situation, and what she wants is to withdraw from the army.
Roar!
Liu Zhang wants to roar, wants to be angry!
However......
In the end, it was just a sigh.
He did not hide his disappointment.
Although he is weak at the moment, he still holds the supreme imperial power of life and death.
A sigh made everyone in the palace kneel down, and they didn't dare to come out.
I'm afraid that if I make a little movement, I will become cannon fodder.
Liu Baoshun also knelt in front of the bed, without any waves in his heart.
He pleaded with a calm face, "The retainer is incompetent, and he missed the opportunity." But Erchen will learn a lesson, and one day he will behead Yan Yunge under his horse. ”
Liu Zhang closed his eyes slightly.
At the moment, he was tired.
The withdrawal has taken place, and there is no regret medicine in the world.
The opportunity has been lost!
Anger or screaming won't solve the problem.
At present, what should be considered is how to deal with the aftermath and how to stabilize the overall situation ahead.
As for the Imperial Palace, the Imperial City ......
He's still alive, and no one should try to stir up the storm.
His majesty, supreme, no one dares to provoke.
He said to Liu Baoshun: "You step down!" I'm tired and need to rest. When you go back, think about what you're going to do next. Ming'er entered the palace early in the morning, hoping that you already have a specific plan by then. ”
"The retainers obeyed. In addition, there is one thing that the sons must personally report to their father. The retainers didn't want their father to hear about it from other people's mouths. ”
At this moment, Liu Baoshun was also a little uneasy.
Liu Zhang opened his eyes and looked at the heroic eldest son in front of him, a little puzzled.
He tried to guess, "Could it be that you killed your brother for the sake of the throne?" ”
Liu Baoshun shook his head and denied it.
"You killed my concubine?"
Liu Baoshun shook his head again.
Liu Zhang became more and more puzzled, "What did you do?" It's not like what you do on a daily basis. ”
Liu Baoshun took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Father Qi, the son slaughtered the Xue family, and there was no one left alive!" However, Erchen did not move Xue Guifei and the other brothers. ”
"You...... You ......"
Liu Zhang smiled angrily.
He laughed, and the laughter was particularly terrifying.
And he commanded his chamberlain, and lifted him up.
He was going to sit up and get a closer look at his eldest son.
He grabbed the wrist of his eldest son, Liu Baoshun, "It's only been a few days since you came back, and you still have time to slaughter the Xue family." Why don't you kill me too, so that you can ascend the throne and become the emperor, and sit as the master of the world? ”
Liu Baoshun suddenly became bold and raised his head suddenly, "Father, does the emperor know how many assassinations did his sons encounter on the way back?" How many times have he been hovering on the edge of life and death.
In order to protect his son's life, the soldiers died one after another. Of all the brothers, the son's own soldiers suffered the highest losses, because there were always people who wanted my head at any cost.
Father didn't know that the fourth brother Baoping was still on the road and had not come back. He, like me, was assassinated in an ambush and is now unknown whether he is alive or dead.
If you are lucky, your father will be able to meet the fourth brother with all beards and tails. If you're unlucky, you'll see only a cripple or a corpse.
They killed our brothers, unscrupulous, crazy and cruel, why can't the retainers fight back? Tu Xue's family is full of people, and Erchen does not regret it. Even if he does it a hundred times again, Erchen will not change his choice.
Since I was a child, my father taught me that blood debts must be paid in blood. I have always behaved and done things according to my father's teachings, and I am a good son of my father! ”
Lose your marbles!
even dared to be upright and unashamed.
Syllable!
Liu Zhang slapped him in the face.
"I taught you to pay for blood debts, but I didn't teach you to kill even your own people."
"What kind of person is Xue! Perhaps in the eyes of his father, the Xue family is indeed his own person. But in the eyes of Erchen, in the eyes of the fourth brother Baoping, and in the eyes of the other brothers, the Xue family is the enemy, the enemy of life and death.
Liu Zhang scolded angrily, "Shut up! You rebel! According to you, anyone who opposes you is an enemy, isn't it? If I oppose you, will you kill me too? ”
Although he is weak, he is an emperor after all, and his momentum is majestic, and a roar is enough to make people tremble.
Liu Baoshun went out.
He's not afraid!
He was about to shout: "Father and Emperor have misunderstood! Others oppose me, but they have never sent assassins to assassinate me, so they are not enemies of my son.
Although the son was conceited, he was not conceited to the extent that he could not tolerate the slightest opposition. The Xue family, as well as Xue Guifei, if you are upright and fight with me, I welcome you! I will also repay them with dignity.
It was they who broke the rules of the game first, it was they who were the first to send assassins to assassinate the ambush, and again and again. They wanted to kill me, and I had no reason to stand and be beaten and not fight back.
Does my father really think I'm wrong? I'm just trying to survive, I'm not fighting for the throne by improper means, is that wrong? The son is conscientious, even if he covets the throne, he has never done anything taboo, is this also wrong? ”
Several rhetorical questions in succession are anger, doubt, unwillingness, and dissatisfaction!
Liu Zhang sneered, "You are indeed right!" The Xue clan is to blame, they should be killed! However, even if the Xue clan should be killed, it will not be your turn to do it. Whoever kills or not, whether to destroy the door or not, I have the final say. Without my will, even if you do the right thing, you are wrong! This is imperial power, you know? ”
Liu Baoshun lowered his head and smiled, "If my father wants to punish me, I will admit the punishment!" No complaints! is still the same sentence, I don't regret killing the Xue family, nor do I regret leaving Xue Guifei's life. Father can tell Xue Guifei that if she wants to take revenge, I will wait for her. ”
Liu Zhang looked at him with an extremely complicated gaze.
"Stand down! The Xue family was destroyed, and I will deal with this matter. Your punishment will come sooner or later, and you don't have to rush. For now, seize the time to deal with the front-line war. Although the fighter plane was delayed and Xiao Yi was cheapened, this war is not over yet, and he can continue to fight. It's just that you have to change the way you play. ”
Build fortifications, divide territorial boundaries, and fight a protracted war of attrition.
It is tantamount to opening up a long-term battlefield.
Xiao Yat and Yan Yunge thought that their wives would digest and absorb the territory of several coastal counties peacefully.
Liu Zhang said sharply: "You must find a way to drag Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses, so that he has no way to withdraw his troops back to the three counties." Eight hundred miles of urgency, to send a letter to the Southern Wei Emperor Xiao Chengwen.
We'll hold off Xiao Yat's soldiers for him, and he won't miss the opportunity. If he can take the territory of the three counties, I, Liu Zhang, am willing to take a step back and officially divide the river with the Southern Wei court, promising not to raise troops to the south within ten years. ”
"My father wants me to make a wedding dress for Xiao Chengwen? We worked desperately to hold Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses, just to make a wedding dress for Xiao Chengwen's sick seedling? ”
Liu Baoshun was obviously unwilling.
"Is it worth it for soldiers to sacrifice their lives, not for their own territory, but just for revenge, and they may not succeed?"
"Is there anything that you can be sure of 100 percent success before doing it? Absurd! ”
Liu Zhang was furious.
He hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily: "Let's make a little sacrifice to create opportunities for Xiao Chengwen." As long as he can win the territory of the three counties, it is equivalent to our victory.
Yan Yunge has no way to retreat, no territory, she is completely defeated. The territory that she snatched away will be able to return to our hands again without a single soldier at that time.
Can't you understand such a simple cause and effect relationship? Why did the families of several coastal counties turn to Yan Yunge? Isn't it because she has three county territory, and has successfully obtained the refuge of Bo County, Dongyang County, and the families of these two counties.
With the example of the two counties, the families of the coastal counties will be tempted. When the role model is gone, and it falls into the hands of the Southern Wei court, Yan Yunge will be finished! Everything she had lived on was over. This time, we're not alone. Unite with the Southern Wei Dynasty and strangle Yan Yunge together. Only in this way can the consequences of the withdrawal be reversed. ”
After saying that, he gasped for breath quickly.
The body has not recovered yet, and it is angry again, which hurts the body very much!
The waiter was nervous, for fear that there would be three long and two short.
Liu Baoshun gritted his teeth, "In case Xiao Chengwen is not willing to cooperate with us, or if this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge ......"
"He can cross the river and tear down the bridge, won't you? Try it, I think I'm at least 60% sure that Xiao Chengwen will choose to cooperate with us. Yan Yunge slapped him in the face several times, making him lose face. In public and private, he had no reason to let Yan Yunge go. ”
Liu Baoshun hesitated, "But...... Yan Yunge, she is rich! ”
Money can pass ghosts and gods, can it buy an emperor and change the emperor's will?
If the price tag is high enough, maybe anything is possible.
