"The reason why Yang Jiefu and others can talk about the Queen Mother is because they are isolated from inside and outside, and they control the news channels that come into the palace in their own hands, and the Queen Mother can only get news from the outside world through their mouths; If they deceived Her Majesty the Empress Dowager that she had been killed or taken away by Tang Kuobu, then the Empress Dowager could only pass the throne to King Yu for the sake of the future of Great Wei and help King Yu to ascend to the throne and continue to lead Great Wei and Tang Kuobu to fight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xu Guang interpreted the current situation to the Taiping County Lord with Yao Guangxiao's analysis, "Now Yang Jiefu and others are spreading rumors about His Majesty's Dragon Control Bintian in Beijing, which is to prepare for this day. ”

"That's why the Queen Mother will take King Yu to the palace?" The county lord of Taiping was born smart, and quickly found the problem, "But there is no news to this day, which means that Yang Jiefu and they are not ready to support the king of Yu?" Or is the Queen Mother still hopeful that Her Majesty will survive? ”

"Perhaps, although there is some estrangement between the Queen Mother and His Majesty because of King Zhao's affairs, it is reasonable that the Queen Mother will not be able to make a decision because of the new king; But if Tang Kuo's soldiers and horses really arrived outside the capital, I am afraid that the Queen Mother would not be able to think about it, and she would have to let King Yu succeed to the throne. "Xu Guang's face is worried, there are strong enemies outside, and traitors inside, can the little lord really bring His Majesty back to the capital smoothly before Tang Kuo's department?

"So we still have time?" Li Lingyue returned to the chair and sat down, temporarily regaining her composure, "The most important thing now is to stabilize the Queen Mother first, and not let the Queen Mother be crowned King Yu too early; Second, it is necessary to send people to learn about His Majesty's news as soon as possible, so as to suppress the rumors in Beijing. ”

"Third, in order to prevent Yang Jiefu's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, we have to prepare early in Beijing." Xu Guang added, "On the way back to Xu, I met many times that Yang Jiefu sent people to block the news, if it weren't for Xu's martial arts and passable, I'm afraid he would have died halfway through, if the county lord wants to send a messenger, he needs to be carefully selected." ”

"Xue Shao, you pick someone to do this." In recent years, the Taiping County Lord has not only received literati and elegant guests like Wang Majie, but also Jianghu guests with good martial arts, and these people are all managed by Xue Shao.

"Subordinates receive orders." Xue Shao had already begun to figure out which people to pick to do this.

"We can't let Yang Jiefu's unscrupulous preparation like this, we have to help him make some trouble." The lord of Taiping began to calculate the power comparison in Beijing, "Yang Jiefu's move is not aimed at His Majesty alone, but also the noble family who has been in charge of the military power of the Great Wei for more than two hundred years, they want to kill Your Majesty by the hand of Tang Kuobu, and at the same time consume the power of the noble generals and take back the military power from their hands. For example, Wei Guogong, who was in charge of the defense of the city in Beijing......"

"The power of the Duke of Wei is very heavy, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in his hands are in charge of the nine gates of the capital, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor who is in charge of the four guards of Tengxiang and the Chengtian Mansion who is in charge of public security affairs in the capital supervise each other; If they want to control the capital, it is impossible not to take over the military power from the Duke of Wei, so ensuring the safety of the Duke of Wei is the top priority at the moment; If Wei Guogong is unharmed, then Yang Jiefu and others will not dare to act rashly, and if there is an accident in Wei Guogong, then the day when King Yu ascends the throne will not be far away. Xue Shao analyzed.

"Today's Chengtian Mansion Yin is Yang Jiefu's person, plus the Imperial City Division who guards the palace and visits secret affairs, Jingzhong has been mastered by Yang Jiefu; And it was a great merit to support it, and those who could not protect the imperial horse prison were also persuaded by him; If Wei Guogong has a case, if His Majesty comes back, I am afraid that it will not even be easy to enter the capital. "As long as the soldiers and horses are in hand, Yang Jiefu can say that it is a thief pretending to be His Majesty or His Majesty is being coerced by thieves, trying to deceive the city gate, anyway, pointing to the deer as a horse is the specialty of these people.

"But because Wei Guogong is in charge of the defense of Beijing, he has too much power, in order to avoid misunderstandings, he has always had little contact with other officials in Jinzhong, and it is not easy for us to ask for a meeting." Xu Guang had also thought about this, but Wei Guogong had a special status among the nobles, and he had never dealt with Wei Guogong before.

"And the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not Wei Guogong's decision, he has not only his cronies who have followed him for many years, but also military generals from poor families and families, and he can still maintain the appearance on weekdays, if something happens, Wei Guogong is likely to be taken down by them when he is caught off guard." If the troops guarding the capital were all up to Wei Guogong, then no one would be at ease, so the strategy of controlling the size of the soldiers and horses in the five cities was implemented, and the forces of all parties were mixed, which was very subtle.

"Now I can only think about who can speak in front of Wei Guogong." The three of them fell into deep thought, and their names were rejected one by one, and in the end they could only put the matter aside for the time being and discuss other things.

The lord of Taiping used his identity to find a way to enter the palace to check the changes in the situation in the palace, test the attitude of the queen mother and other members of the royal family, and then hold a meeting to exchange news.

Xue Shao was responsible for sorting out the power in the hands of the lord of Taiping County, secretly expanding his strength to guard against major events that might happen in the future, and at the same time sending people to spread rumors contrary to Yang Jiefu in Beijing to muddy the waters.

Xu Guang is still lurking in the shadows, contacting the nobles in Beijing, informing Yao Guangxiao of the latest news, and following his assignment to carry out all kinds of necessary work.

So an undercurrent slowly spread in the capital that has almost been mastered by Yang Jiefu and others, one will be that there are traitors in the capital who are trying to sell the Great Wei to Tang Kuobu, and then His Majesty has been defeated and Tang Kuobu is about to return to Beijing in triumph, and then His Majesty is defeated but still has strength and is confronting Tang Kuobu; The news changed three times a day, which made the people in Beijing quarrel endlessly, but no one believed the news that His Majesty was dead.

The Imperial City Division and the Chengtian Mansion urgently dispatched to arrest a lot of gossips, but after some torture, they found out that these people were all people who came to show that they were well-informed after listening to some gossip, and they did not catch valuable people.

Soon after, the messenger sent by Xue Shao brought back the latest news after hardship, His Majesty was surrounded by the army of Tang Kuo's army in the city of Weizhou, and Tang Kuo's army fought hard for many days and still failed to take Weizhou.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a thunderbolt of news suddenly came, Cao Yutian, the Duke of Wei who was in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, suddenly fell ill and died last night.

Is this about to change? Xu Guang and the others thought at the same time. (To be continued.) )
