Chapter 522: A Big Victory
After reading the secret letter, Emperor Kang Ping was very happy, and immediately summoned Han Qian to discuss the matter.
The Han family was relieved to hear the news of the victory.
Especially Shu Yu, who was so happy that he set up a case and burned incense, thanked all the Buddhas in the sky, and did not forget to praise Xiao Ping'an for his accurate calculation.
Xiao Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he was proud and happy in his heart, and since then he has been practicing more and more in astronomy.
When Sun Changyu got the news, everyone in the capital was celebrating the Liaodong Army's victory over the enemy.
In the end, it is an old minister who has gone through three dynasties, Sun Changyu thought about it for a while, and guessed that he was in a hurry and fell into Han Yan's trap, although he was really angry in his heart, but he was helpless at this point, he could only be glad that Emperor Kangping had promised him earlier, unless the Sun family did something to shake the country's rebellion, otherwise as long as he was willing to do it, the Sun family would still have ten years of peace and wealth to enjoy.
Sun Changyu reasoned with the courtiers who had recently impeached Han Yan, and repeatedly made sure that there were no descendants of the Sun family, important relatives and friends among these people, so he was slightly relieved.
That night, Sun Changyu convened his staff to discuss secretly overnight.
"It's not that we are incompetent, it's really that the enemy is too cunning, from now on, the Sun family is afraid that it will cease to exist......" The end of the minister, infinitely desolate, Sun Changyu said this, it seems that he has aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and in an instant, he has become a drooping old rotten wood.
was questioned by Han Yan in public about "treason and collaboration with the enemy" in Zhuangfu, and he had to give up the power of the government, which failed to make him so depressed.
Seeing this, everyone knew that the general trend had gone, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of concern, and they all lowered their heads and sighed secretly.
Sun Changyu glanced at Sun Bingzhi, who was flustered and ownerless, and was both depressed and worried, and even more helpless.
Who let him give birth to such an unsuccessful eldest son!
Now, I can only plan more for him before retreating.
Thinking of this, Sun Changyu stood up, arched his hands forward, and bowed to the staff present and said, "The dog is not good, in the future, I will ask you to take care of it." Thank you here. ”
As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
Seeing this, all the staff members hurriedly stood up, sideways to avoid it, and bowed back again and again: "Don't torture us, boss." ”
Seeing this, Sun Bingzhi also hurriedly got up, bowed his hand, and listened to the order.
Seeing this, Sun Changyu got up and arched his hand, and said: "You are all old people who have accompanied me in the battle for many years, and naturally know that now the Sun family has reached a critical moment of life and death, and whether it can reproduce the glory of yesterday depends on how many promising children the Sun family can produce in the next ten years."
"My eldest son, you have all watched him grow up, and his scheming skills are average, but I am afraid that after I become a prince, it will be difficult for him to win a place in the court on his own. But the Sun family can't be after me, no one can enter the court and participate in the secrets, so when the time comes, I will ask you to teach him a few more words in the past. ””
Sun Bingzhi's heart was sour, and when he heard Sun Changyu say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted everyone: "Please also ask your uncles to teach more." ”
Those staff members were first shocked by Sun Changyu's words that he wanted to "Zhishi", and then they were taken aback by Sun Bingzhi's self-humble identity, and after coming back to their senses, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Don't dare, Lord Sun is too modest." ”
Seeing this, Sun Changyu waved his hand, motioned for everyone to get up, sighed, and said: "It's me who is too eager for quick success and quick profit, and wants to take advantage of Han Yan's absence in Beijing to make a desperate bet to restore the former glory of the Sun family, but I never thought that I fell into the trap of the other party......
"For today's plan, only if I ask the old man to return to his hometown, I am afraid that the saint will be exalted and lenient, and no longer pursue the responsibility of the Sun family. When I return to my hometown, the capital will be free from your care. ”
After that, he glanced at Sun Bingzhi and saw it.
Seeing this, Sun Bingzhi understood, and hurriedly bowed down and bowed to everyone three times.
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to take it, so they hurriedly turned sideways and avoided it, and they were all busy returning the salute, but they knew in their hearts that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no room for maneuver, so they could only hurriedly respond.
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Changyu did not wait for Emperor Kangping to open his mouth to deal with the crimes of those courtiers who falsely accused Han Yan and the Liaodong Army, so he took the lead in writing a letter, asking the old man to return to his hometown on the grounds of old age and inability to bear state affairs.
Not to mention Emperor Kangping, even the Sun family was also stunned by Sun Changyu's move, and they felt uneasy in their hearts, and they felt that disaster was coming.
Emperor Kang Ping thought about it quickly, and he already understood that Sun Changyu withdrew at this time in order to protect the Sun family before he rectified this case of false accusation with ulterior motives.
In any case, Sun Changyu was willing to withdraw from the court and stay away from the capital, no matter what the reason, Emperor Kangping was happy to see it.
Therefore, Emperor Kangping kept Sun Changyu repeatedly in accordance with the usual practice, and after he wrote to the old man again and again to ask him to return to his hometown, he made a gesture of being unbearable to abandon but helpless, and was forced to allow it.
Sun Changyu moved quickly, probably because he was afraid that in order to express his attitude to Emperor Kangping, in order to protect the Sun family, and as soon as the edict of grace and glory arrived, he immediately packed up, and early in the morning of the third day, he took Mrs. Sun and the people who were used to calling, and even the practice banquet was not held, so he drove all the way back to Fuchun's hometown.
Emperor Kangping remembered Sun Changyu's contribution to suppressing the rebellion in the old days, and gave him the last dignity, and after Sun Changyu left Beijing, he began to clean up the Sun family on the grounds of framing important ministers of the imperial court and bloody soldiers in the frontier.
In order to avoid the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, Emperor Kangping specially cleaned up the periphery of the Sun family first, and gradually involved the core.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner on this side of the capital, but the border land is far from so peaceful.
The elite of the royal tent lost most of them at once, which made it impossible for Tuhuan to immediately kill in person in the camp of the Liaodong Army, and cut Zhen Guogong and Han Yan with a thousand knives.
Only now did he understand why most of the villages, towns and towns he had captured all the way before were short of materials, it turned out that it was not because of the so-called war of those "prisoners of war", but that the people and materials had already been transferred by the Liaodong Army!
That's right, those remnants of the "people" are not the real border people, but the civilian rebels led by the Liaodong Army, and when the elite of the Wara King's Tent fell, they took advantage of the chaos of the Wara army, and took the magic weapon that I don't know when it was cast, counterattacked in one fell swoop, and recaptured most of the lost villages and towns.
It's a pity that he was anxious to lose an inch by the large number of casualties of people and animals caused by the lack of food and grass in various departments, and he failed to detect the clues for a while, so he finally fell into the trap of the enemy!
And at present, what worries Tuhuan is not only the Liaodong Army, which is ready to attack and strong, but also the Wara tribes that are ready to move because of the fall of the elite of the royal tent.
Thinking of this, Tuhuan couldn't help but grit his teeth and scolded Han Yan for being cunning.
Where the Liaodong Army's counteroffensive was successful, it was either the king's subordinates or the departments close to the king's tent who were responsible for guarding it, which greatly damaged his vitality, and those tribes who were already not on good terms with him suffered very little loss this time.
As a result, it became more and more difficult for him to check and balance the various ministries.
Unlike Tuhuan's impatience, the morale of the Liaodong Army was greatly boosted, and they couldn't wait to immediately wave their troops north, hold a divine weapon, and cut off Tuhuan's head.
