Chapter 626: Great Rejuvenation of the Wei State
"What?" Wen Ling couldn't help but be solemn when he saw Rong Qing's appearance.
When Bai Yue heard that they were going to talk about something, she got up and said, "Bai Yue will retire first." ”
Wen Ling nodded, and let Xianqin send Bai Yue out.
Only then did he look at Rong Qingdao, "You said." ”
"Beiyang was captured by Du Zhong, and now Du Zhong has taken the entire Beiyang City, announced his identity, and established himself as the king on the grounds of recovering the Daxing Wei Dynasty." Rong Qingdao.
"How can it be so fast?" Wen Ling got up excitedly, "Didn't he just leave Mocheng?" ”
"Maybe it's not Du Zhong personally led, but Du Zhong has a group of people, led by the general who laid down Beiyang, was a descendant of the Yang family, the loyal general of Wei Guozhong, in the past, because Emperor Wei Xian was mediocre, risking death to admonish, the whole family was exiled, and later was rescued by the folk righteous people, I don't know what happened, I must have been secretly sharpening my knife incognito over the years, just waiting for today." Rong Qingdao.
"It's ...... like this," Wen Ling muttered, "but if Beiyang is attacked, it shouldn't be an overnight thing, there should have been news a long time ago, why is it only today." ”
Rong Qing said solemnly, "Not overnight, but overnight." ”
Yes, overnight.
Beiyang has always had soldiers guarding, because it was the capital of Wei, and there were 3,000 soldiers stationed in the city.
But overnight, all 3,000 soldiers were wiped out.
"How can it be...... There is such a strange thing. Wen Ling was shocked.
"It's not weird, it's that Eucommia is prepared. Niangniang still remembers the strange things that happened when she went out of the city a few days ago? ”
"Hmm. Something to do with that weird thing? Wen Ling was puzzled.
"Definitely. Niangniang should know that the Gu Master is studying Gu, and General Huo has already ordered someone to go to eliminate the Gu Master's Gu, but the strange thing that happened to Niangniang last time, the body of the head of the family disappeared, and it was made into Gu, but we couldn't find it. That's because between Gu and Gu, only live Gu can attract each other, but this time we can't find out about Gu. After what happened to Niangniang, the emperor instructed that a team of three hundred blood servants was dispatched to search near the imperial city, because he did not feel the existence of live Gu, he inquired and asked the villagers in the nearby mountains about the recent abnormality, and as a result, he really found several abnormal corpses after searching for traces in the mountains. Rong Qing frowned and said, "The Gu Master of Friendship researched and found that there were Gu seeds on the chest of the corpse, and all the Gu seeds were planted in the body, and they were not found because these Gu were new Gu, and when they were not summoned by the Gu Master, they were actually in a state of near death, but once they were attacked, they would come back to life and try to escape." ”
Wen Ling frowned, "You mean, the Living Gu will pretend to be dead?" ”
"Yes! Because of this, we can't find out the existence of these Gu people, let alone how many of them there are, but what General Huo saw on the way back from the Imperial Tomb before, it is estimated that there are only a lot of them now. Rong Qing nodded, "Now the news of the disappearance of innocent people has gradually spread, because people are disappearing everywhere, and it is impossible to keep their mouths shut at all, and the people's voice will become bigger and bigger." The emperor only announced his identity the day before yesterday, which has attracted a lot of suspicion from the people, but he is afraid that things will get worse and worse. ”
Wen Ling's face sank, "The emperor already knows?" ”
"The emperor knows, but the Minister of Military Aircraft has other important things to report, so the emperor asked his subordinates to report this matter to the queen." Rong Qing said, "This matter must have Du Zhong's hands and feet, I don't know what Niangniang thinks." ”
"Wait for me to figure it out." Wen Ling slowed down.
This news came too suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, Du Zhong took back Beiyang?
This is also unprecedented.
"Du Zhong's best hand is to borrow the hearts of the people. He knew very well who could carry the boat and capsize the boat, and in the past, he exaggerated Gu Rin's reputation to suppress Gu Xun...... Wait......" Wen Ling thought of something, "There is no so-called Shenglong Edict in his study, but it is like a mountain order, and now he takes Beiyang, on the grounds of recovering the Daxing Wei Chamber, because he knows that he is a courtier in the Jin Kingdom, even if he uses the Shenglong Edict, if he sits on the throne, he still belongs to seeking power and usurping the throne, and his name is not right, and what he wants is not this at all, from the beginning he coveted not the Jin State, but he wanted to take back the throne of Wei that should have belonged to him." ”
Rong Qing couldn't guess Wen Ling's whimsical thoughts, but when Wen Ling said this, Rong Qing felt that it was very right.
Over the years, Du Zhong has sat on the position of prime minister, obviously has ambitions, why is he hiding them so well, because he has never exposed his ambitions to the court of the Jin Kingdom.
"According to what Niangniang saw, what will Du Zhong do next?"
Wen Ling looked at Rong Qing, "He has never had a bad reputation among the people, and now that his name is correct and the city has been taken, what do you think he will do next?" ”
Rong Qing thought for a moment, "...... He, to be justified in recruiting troops! ”
"Yes! I don't know how many people he arranged in the Jin Kingdom, but you said that Huo Qing found something strange all the way, but none of the local officials reported it, and this matter is strange now that I think about it. You said that Beiyang was taken overnight, but not necessarily, three thousand blood servants were stolen from the army, and the three thousand blood servants were afraid that they had taken refuge in Du Zhong, and more than that, there were rebels in the army, but I don't know how many, this is Du Zhong's hole card. The more Wen Ling spoke, the clearer the thoughts in his mind became, "He now wants to use his reputation to gain a firm foothold." Kang Yi has a brother who is doing things for him, recruiting troops and buying horses, in addition to having a reputation, there is also silver, grain, the treasury of the Jin State has been in deficit over the years, presumably Du Zhong secretly filled a lot of private pockets, used for his own people and horses, turning over the river and the sea, it is not an overnight achievement. ”
After hearing this, Rong Qing suddenly realized, frowned, and said, "Then Du Zhong wants to be secretly planning all these years, and I am afraid that things will not be good for us." ”
Wen Ling blinked, "But now Du Zhong is in a hurry to establish a country, and he is in the name of his royal family." Daxing Wei room, is when Emperor Wei Huan was alive, in the Wei State of a prosperous state, Daxing eighteen years, the state of Wei is not left behind, every household is safe and happy, the people are happy, until Emperor Wei Huan died, Emperor Wei Xian ascended the throne, the country declined, the old people of Wei all missed. Since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, it has always been out of a state of war, and it is a great luck for the people to be able to survive, and there are many people who yearn for the great rejuvenation of the country, Du Zhong wants to recruit people, and he will definitely make this bold statement, and now he wants to make the state of the Jin State grim, and those silent Gu people must also be the ghosts made by Du Zhong's people. ”
"The subordinates understood, and the emperor guessed that although Beiyang was taken overnight, Du Zhong would definitely rush to Beiyang non-stop to ensure his own safety, but according to the time when Du Zhong left Mocheng, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to reach Beiyang. Therefore, the emperor has sent a message to General Huo to bring blood attendants to go to various intersections in Beiyang to block them, but now I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Beiyang, so I don't dare to act rashly. Huo Qing said.
Wen Ling nodded, "This kind of thing, the emperor is more familiar with it than me, and since he has given the order, I just hope that there will be no problems with General Huo." However, there are people who have taken refuge in Du Zhong among the blood servants, so I am afraid that there are also Du Zhong's fine works, so please be careful with General Huo. ”
Now Gu Xun's subordinates are most usable, Huo Qing Huo Wei and his son, and although there are several generals who are also credible, they are not enough to deter the father and son.
"You go down first." Wen Ling thought for a while, "By the way, if you can, I think it's better to check Shoukang." ”
To be honest, although Kang Yi briefly passed her brother's words that day, she always felt that there might be something to be used in it.
For example, Shou Kang has been working for Du Zhong in the Wei Imperial Palace all these years, while Kang Yi has been working for Du Zhong in the Jin Kingdom.
Du Zhong fled that day, and before Kang Yi could escape, he was caught by Gu Xun's people who were secretly monitoring his movements.
Kang Yi has been in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion so many times, and Gu Xun is not unaware, but he doesn't know the content of his conversation, and it is normal to say that it is a good relationship and move around.
It's just that Du Zhong fled with his stomach and left Kang Yi behind, and he doesn't know what happened to it.
"Yes." Rong Qing wrote this down, "My subordinates will send someone to investigate." ”
After Rong Qing left, the string piano and Yi Yu on the side stepped forward.
Yi Yu said, "The emperor is also trouble-free, in Qi country, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the emperor tells the princess everything, the princess has to work so hard, Fang Cai's words, the slave and maid are dizzy when they hear it." ”
Wen Ling paused, "Do you think that Gu Xun is a little dependent on me?" ”
Xianqin said, "Forgive the slaves and maids for their false words, there are some, and when the princess was in the Qi Kingdom, she never wasted her brain like this." This should be enjoyable as a queen, but the princess thinks about it every day. The emperor is the new emperor, and some things are not as thoughtful as the princess, but it has always been like this, the emperor will rely too much on the princess, and the princess originally wanted to help, but if it is too much, it will be passed out, and it will not be good for the emperor and the princess. ”
Where is the emperor handling government affairs and has always let the queen interfere.
If it is spread out, it will either be said that their princess is trying to get involved in the court, which is not a good reputation.
Wen Ling blinked, "But he depends on me, isn't it?" ”
Wen Ling doesn't think so.
When there is a person, when he thinks of a problem, he remembers something, and subconsciously thinks of someone.
It's like Gu Xun will think that Wen Ling will definitely bear it with him, think about him, and share it for him.
It's a kind of being needed, and Wen Ling doesn't feel anything.
Xianqin shook her head, "The slave doesn't understand state affairs, but the king has never bothered the queen like this." ”
"You didn't see it at that time, Daddy only discussed it with his mother when he went home and was in the bed." Wen Ling sighed, "If Gu Xun were an independent, knowing, and wise king, maybe he would become the same as Gu Rin." But I don't want to, I don't need him to be independent, how wise, I just need him to need me and think of me. ”
"The princess always has so many truths, and the slaves can't say it." Yi Yu pouted, "The slaves and maids only saw that the princess had helped the emperor a lot, but the emperor had done nothing for the princess." ”
"Really?" Wen Ling blinked, "He promised me a lot of things, and in the first two years, every New Year's holiday, he would also personally choose gifts, or come back to see me privately, isn't that enough?" ”
"I always feel that when the princess and the emperor get along, there are some strange things...... In the past, when she was in the palace, the queen would always think about the king, or make new clothes and snacks for the king, and cook for herself,......" Yi Yu couldn't help but say.
That's why!
Wen Ling reflected and asked rhetorically, "Your princess, can I cook?" ”
Yi Yu was choked by the throat, "......"
It seems that their princess doesn't know how to cook.
"Will Princess Ben be a female celebrity?"
Yi Yu: "......"
It seems that he is not very proficient, and the two mandarin ducks are like water ducks.
"He is in the palace, and I also know that he is not sick or in pain, there is a doctor when he is sick, and this palace is not medicine. Is it that the book is not good-looking, or is it not fun to chat with you, why should I worry about ......him if I have nothing to do?" Wen Ling said, but his eyes were puzzled.
"But...... The princess did it, this is to express the princess's heart to the emperor, isn't it......" Yi Yu felt that it was not like that.
Wen Ling waved his hand and sat on his soft floor, "Dim sum, the imperial kitchen is better than the main palace." Embroidery, embroidery is better than this palace. Don't be ugly! Gu Xun and I haven't known each other for a day or two, what do you want! The reverse is also true. ”
Yi Yu was blocked, "Princess...... But the emperor is not marrying a royal chef or an embroidery girl......"
"Ah......" Wen Ling blinked, "Can the imperial chef and embroidery girl help him think about national affairs and analyze the traitor's thinking?" ”
Oh......
Yi Yu understood.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid knew...... "Although I don't know what my princess's thinking is, it makes sense and can't be refuted!"
