Chapter 166: The City Collapses
The little Γ· said β Net], the β little Γ· said β Net],
In the past few days, the atmosphere in the court has been tense.
Such rumors are getting more and more intense, and I don't know who revealed that the king of Xishu in the past did not die under the arrows of Wei, and there were no archers in Wei that day, but someone deliberately wanted the life of the king of Xishu. The King of Xishu and the King of Fenyang are both kings of the border domain, and their prestige in the military camp is not small, and it is not a big deal to shake it, but it is different to shake the hearts of the army.
In addition, the old king of Xishu really doesn't like Mu Xi, and the reason why Mu Xi got up was because he led the southwest army to fight, and it was not smooth to take over the Northeast General Army, and now there are such rumors, which is not good for Mu Xi and the royal family.
The civil and military attachΓ©s also had poor complexions.
"The more intense the rumors, the more they will soon blow to the general armies of the two sides and disturb the hearts of the troops." The military department Shangshu said, "The emperor should immediately send someone to the two armies to pacify." β
"Jiang Yu, you can lead the Holy Decree to the Northeast General Army to appease the King of Western Shu. Wu Jing, you sent someone to Liangzhou to monitor the movements of the king of Fenyang...... "Yu Wenhao did not listen to the words of the military department to appease, and now it is useful to pacify?" Instead, send generals there.
It is obvious that this time there is no one else behind him except Yu Wenzhi, and since he has blown this wind, it means that he is ready.
"If you don't feel appeased, then the king of Fenyang ......" the military department Shangshu admonished again.
"Could it be that if it is appeased, will the King of Fenyang be obedient? This time the rumors started, it was someone behind the scenes, since Rui, I appeased it just by acquiescing in this matter, for the sake of the future...... He Yan, you know the wind of the people's heart best, I will hand over this matter to you, and find a way to suppress the people's words...... "Yu Wenhao supports his forehead."
Several people listened to the order to retreat, and Nan Ruocai said.
"Your Majesty, this time, we still fell for it."
In fact, they already knew about these things, but no one expected that King Fenyang would make such a move.
It is no wonder that the king of Fenyang has always been popular with the people before, and then he acted so low-key to prepare for this day.
They knew that something was wrong, but because they couldn't figure out what the King of Fenyang wanted to do, they didn't move, just waiting for the King of Fenyang to make a move, and then take another plan.
"He has set off this wind, which shows that he is ready to hold the hearts of the army and the people." Yu Wenhao lowered his eyes, "It's just that he will launch it suddenly, and there must be a follow-up move." Nanruo, how the progress of the hidden fog is. β
"The new Junji is still going on, but because the old Junji is dead, most of the data is invalid, and it is no less than starting over. Last time, the prince suspected that there were ghosts among those workers, so they all cleaned up, and now although there are few people helping Junji, they are absolutely safe. "Nanruo Road.
It has been less than a year since the armistice.
Tuyuhun and Wei are both recuperating and should not be launched for a short time.
Although Emperor Qi Xiao has abdicated, he still has people in his hands.
He couldn't have imagined that when Yuwenhui died, he thought about brotherhood and gave him enough decency, but now it has become, the other party will give himself a heavy blow until he dies, his heart is hot, and a mouthful of blood gushes out, startling the people around him.
News came from the Yuan Palace that the Emperor was seriously ill, the emperor was busy with government affairs, and the queen went to serve the sick instead of the emperor.
In the past few days, Yu Wenhao has been a little worried, and the time to come back is getting later and later, Nian Yun also knows that this matter has a great impact, and wants to help, but he can't help anything.
The Queen Mother helped Emperor Qi Xiao, fed some medicine, and frowned.
The person lying on the couch is the man she has served all her life, her husband, and she will never question his decision.
But after putting aside the duties of the queen at the beginning, the queen mother was a little distressed, a simple woman felt sorry for a man.
"In your life, you respect a word of filial piety, in addition to being grateful to the Empress Dowager Taizu for raising you, you still have to tell the world that even if Emperor Taizu abandons you, you still remember that there has never been a moment of father-son love between you. But as your wife, I was thinking, in this life, if you don't care so much about Emperor Taizu and don't be so benevolent and filial, maybe you will live a happier life......" Emperor Taishang is only in his forties this year, but his white hair is like a flower armor, and he is seriously ill.
In fact, the Emperor Taishang has indulged her a lot over the years, even if her son is not close to her, but the Emperor Taishang will still follow her in light blame.
Now that the man who followed her has fallen, the Queen Mother suddenly feels that what she insisted on at the beginning is not so much now.
"Queen Mother, it's time for my father to drink medicine." Nian Yun took the medicine and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother turned her head, looked at the young queen, and sighed.
Helping the unconscious Emperor Qi Xiao to drink the medicine, the Queen Mother said, "Empress, have you ever blamed the mourning family." β
"No, I didn't." Nian Yun knelt down and said the truth.
She never blamed her, even though the Queen Mother had been reproached several times, but she could understand the impact of the Queen Mother's former position on her.
"The position of the queen mother also has the queen's own concerns, according to the rules of the palace, the queen mother's thoughts must be more thoughtful than the sons."
"You are the queen, you are also the emperor's wife, these days are busy with government affairs, you can take care of the emperor's body more, there is a mourning family here, you don't have to serve all day long."
The Queen Mother's words made Nian Yun slightly surprised.
In the past, the queen mother always obeyed the queen's throne first, and then said anything else.
And now, the queen mother actually thinks that she is Yu Wenhao's wife.
Nian Yun bowed, "With the care of the queen mother, the father will be fine." The husband is busy in the court, and the sons and daughters are sick, but also to do a piece of filial piety for the husband, and the sons and daughters will come to visit their father tomorrow. β
Back in Zhaoyang Palace, Nian Yun felt inexplicably depressed in this palace.
Although the war has not started yet, I always feel that it is almost time.
Soon.
The people sent by Yu Wenhao sent back the news, saying that there was indeed a rumor in the military headquarters of the two sides, and the king of Xishu said that the army was uncertain, but under his coercion, it also calmed down, but I was afraid that it was calm for a while. However, the king of Fenyang said that there was peace in the army, and no rumors and rumors had been heard.
Scold! No one believed it.
The calmer it was, the more violent the storm became.
Yu Wenhao sent people to transfer troops from the southwest governor, and guarded the border in four towns, and now Myanmar and Qi are allies, so you can rest assured that you can move the troops slowly in case of unforeseen needs.
On December night, Nian Yun and Yu Wenhao were asleep and were awakened by a light trembling.
Because the amplitude was not large, I thought it was a small earth dragon turning over, and everyone did not doubt it.
But he didn't want to, Shangyuan County entered the palace overnight with a sharp turn.
"The emperor is not good! A huge explosion suddenly occurred underneath Shangyuan County, collapsing many houses and causing tens of thousands of casualties. "The people from the governor of Shangyuan County, Shangyuan County is a county that was cut not long ago, and now there is no county king in charge, but I don't want such a thing to happen suddenly.
After Yu Wenhao saw the situation clearly, he suddenly thought of one, "It's gunpowder." β
This kind of movement is far greater than the previous one in the southwestern border mountains.
The death of the predecessor Junji, Yu Wenhao felt different, it is very likely that Junji has succeeded, but someone stole Junji's achievements and blew Junji to death with gunpowder.
The top priority is naturally to settle the people of Shangyuan County first, and then find out where the gunpowder came from and who prepared it.
Nian Yun reminded again, "Concubine De said before that those county kings who were cut off had private dealings, and perhaps, they had taken refuge in Yuwenzhi. β
"They're Qi people!" Yu Wenhao's face darkened, and even though Nian Yun was in front, he couldn't help but slap the song to the ground.
They did this with the people of Qi as a threat and for their own interests.
"Nan Ruo, send someone to find out if there are still people who have taken refuge in Yuwenzhi according to the list submitted before, and find out where else gunpowder is buried!" Before Concubine De said this, he had sent someone to investigate and control these people, but there was nothing abnormal.
Suddenly, I thought of the amnesty given to those exiled slaves and death row prisoners in the world when he ascended the throne.
It turned out that it was waiting for him here.
Zhaoyang Palace, Nian Yun pursed her lips, she has been cooking in person for the past few days, preparing for Yu Wenhao.
Bully Xue said worriedly, "Niangniang, why are you still so calm, I have heard from the servants in the past few days, and many ministers privately feel that the emperor is useless, and the emperor is bent on cutting the feudal domain and failing to make proper follow-up arrangements." β
This incident has the same reason as the avalanche covering the city in the past.
Nian Yun was very sad when she heard it, "He is the emperor, and he is also a person." He was born with this responsibility, but people make mistakes, and no one can be sure that he will not make mistakes in his life, and he may have missed this time, but in my opinion, he should not be a critic. Those who receive criticism should be the sinister and cunning people who are Qi people, but for their own interests, they have harmed others! β
Why, should he bear this great responsibility?
If he doesn't do well, he will be scolded, and no one has ever asked him if he likes it or if he wants to.
In fact, Bully Xue also felt at the beginning that the big and small things that happened in the country were closely related to the officials, the government, and the emperor. But now that I hear my own mother say this, why do I suddenly feel that the emperor who is high up is so pitiful?
"Alright, let's go to the Imperial Study." Nian Yun carried the food box, wrapped herself in warmth, the more this time, the more she couldn't worry about the same as Yu Wenhao, Yu Wenhao hadn't had a good rest and a good meal for several days.
When I got to the door of the study, I heard a quarrel inside.
"Your Majesty, the King of Fenyang has rebelled! Not only that, of the 200,000 Northeast General Army managed by the King of Western Shu, 100,000 have defected to the King of Fenyang. If there is really a war, it will be a big war for the Qi country, not to mention that the king of Fenyang still has thirteen innocent counties in his hands, can the emperor bear to see the people suffer!"
"That's what I mean! Besides, there is no forgiveness for killing! Yu Wenhao's voice was gloomy and a little terrifying.
Nian Yun has never heard Yu Wenhao so emotional, let alone heard him say so lightly.
"The emperor is confused! For the sake of a woman, do you want the people of Qi to complain about you? β
"No one can say anything about this matter, and if any rumors are revealed, the relevant people will be beheaded according to the ...... of violating the order."
The military department was still in the book, and he wanted to speak, but Gu Yi said, "My lord, please go back first, this is impossible, if you really do this, what face does the emperor have?" β
As soon as the door opened, Gu Yi was shocked.
"The Emperor...... Queen......"
Yu Wenhao raised his head, his pupils were bloodshot, and he didn't have time to collect it, his own hideousness.
