Chapter 81: The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms (3)
Zhou Yafu calmed down, looked at Zhang Jiayang and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the escort who married Princess Liu Yu of the Huns. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"You're a Huns?"
"No, I'm Han. Zhang Jiayang thought about it and didn't talk as much as possible, knowing in his heart that it was useless to say more.
"Then how did you come to the Wu Chu camp?"
Then Zhang Jiayang told him about the fact that he was entrusted by the princess Liu Yu to visit his family in Guangling, and happened to encounter the rebellion of King Wu, and accidentally knew about this situation, so he came to inform the emperor.
Zhou Yafu said: "Okay, if the situation is true, you will make a great contribution, and I will immediately report this news to the emperor." β
Let's say that when the emperor Liu Qi heard the news of the rebellion of the kings, he suddenly didn't know what to do, and immediately sent the teacher to negotiate with him.
"Now that the kings are rebelling, with multiple armies and hundreds of thousands of horses coming to Chang'an, what is the master's strategy?"
Chao Cuo also panicked for a while, and he didn't have any good ideas after thinking about it, so he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty can lead the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty to conquer in person, and with Your Majesty's heavenly prestige and grace, you will definitely be able to quell the rebellion." β
"Let me drive the expedition in person, what are you going to do?"
"The old minister stayed in the capital to prepare grain and grass for His Majesty to do a good job of backup. β
"Hmph, what kind of bad idea did the teacher come up with, I guess you can't come up with any good way for a while, so retreat. β
"No. β
Chao Cuo returned to the Imperial History Mansion, the attitude of the emperor was puzzled, and suddenly thought of Yuan An, who had been the prime minister of Wu, although this person is now a commoner, but he should take responsibility for the rebellion of King Wu, when it was found out that he accepted bribes from King Wu, the emperor should behead him, this opportunity came, so he called several of his subordinate officials.
Chao Cuo said: "Yuan Ang was bribed by King Wu to shield King Wu, saying that he would not rebel, and now that King Wu has rebelled, Yuan Ang should be interrogated for the crime of foreknowing King Wu's rebellion." β
One of the subordinate officials said: "I am afraid that it is not beneficial to do this now, if the king of Wu did not rebel to investigate, it is more valuable to get the evidence of his participation in the rebellion, now that the king of Wu has rebelled, it is meaningless to investigate again, and there is no definite evidence to prove that Yuan Ang knew in advance that the king of Wu was rebelling." β
"Yes, it's a bit of a bad time to sort out Yuan An's materials now, Yuan An's participation in King Wu's rebellion is really insufficient, please think twice. Several other subordinate officials chimed in.
Chao Cuo's suggestion was not approved by the subordinate officials, and Chao Cuo hesitated for a moment and put the matter on hold for the time being.
Let's say that the emperor Liu Qi couldn't get a good plan from Chao's mistake, and he had no idea in Weiyang Palace for a while, so after thinking about it, he drove Changle Palace and met the Empress Dowager Dou.
"The courtiers greet their mother, the Queen Mother. β
"Oh, the emperor is here, I haven't come here much these days, is it because of those kings. β
"The Queen Mother knows it. β
"Their crusade is all over the world, how can my old woman not know that these feudal kings are not good to enjoy the blessings in the feudal country, and they always want to do big things, and today they finally got together to make up their courage, and my old lady doesn't think they can achieve anything big. β
"The queen mother, the courtiers are worried about this matter, they don't know when they don't have a reaction, and when this happens, they find that they have nothing to do. β
"My old woman has already reminded the emperor that there is only one person around him, so something will happen, isn't this coming, but sooner or later, we will have to face it sooner or later. β
"Hey, yes, the Queen Mother is right. β
"I won't say much if I regret it, let's get down to business, the main force of the anti-kings is Wu Chu's army, they have arrived in Suiyang, where is Suiyang, where is Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is His Majesty's own brother, I firmly believe that whoever opposes him will not rebel, Wu'er will fight to the death with the strength of the whole Liang country, even if his city is breached, he will not take half a step back, this emperor can rest assured, there is no danger in Chang'an for the time being, and when the first emperor collapsed, he left a word I don't know if the emperor remembers?"
Liu Qi thought for a while and replied: "Mother said that when there is an emergency in the world, please use Zhou Yafu." β
"Yes, Your Majesty is not confused now, it is time for Zhou Yafu to move, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, but the water will not cover it. β
"Mother, isn't it a little lonely for Zhou Yafu alone?"
"Hehehe, yes, you should use a trustworthy general, otherwise it will also cause a big disaster, the old woman has someone in her heart, and she wants Your Majesty to guess. β
"Mother is not talking about Dou Ying. β
"The emperor and the old woman thought of coming together, it was him. β
"Mother, when I got the news of the king's rebellion, I sent for him, but he didn't want to edict, and I couldn't do anything about him for a while. β
"Hehe, my nephew, really plays a child's temper, isn't it the old woman who cut off his clan membership This is causing trouble, I believe he still knows the general situation, and when the society is in danger, he will not stand idly by, His Majesty still puts down the shelf, speaking of which is his own family, what knots can't be solved. β
"Yes, Erchen will send someone to invite you. β
"I think he can't sit still for a long time, and he won't come to His Majesty tomorrow. β
"Hehehe, since my mother is so confident, I will urge me to make another edict, and my son will retire. β
Liu Qi walked out of Changle Palace, and the Empress Dowager Dou instructed: "Come on, prepare a letter, just say Dou Ying nephew, this time is still comfortable, now there is something in the world, when you are employing people, can you stay out of the matter, do you want your aunt to come to the door to apologize in person......"
The family letter was written and directly delivered to Dou Ying's brother, Dou Ying was drinking and eating with Yuan An, Yuan Ang said: "Recently, someone told me that Chao Cuo had asked his subordinates to sort out the materials on my participation in King Wu's rebellion, and wanted to put me to death, and asked Brother Dou to help come up with ideas to save my life." β
"Chao Cuo, this person is really crazy, what's wrong with being his emperor's teacher, but he likes to make some unexpected reforms, and implement some policies to cut the domain, which reverses the kings, and frames you, Brother Yuan, it's really hopeless. β
"Brother Dou has no good ideas to get me out of danger. β
"Hey, if you want to rectify the mistake, you must use the emperor's hand to do it, but unfortunately a few days ago, the emperor issued an edict to me, let me enter the palace to discuss matters, you said that I am a concubine who has been removed from the clan, what qualifications do I have to participate in the affairs of the court. β
"Brother Dou's words are wrong, now that there is something in the world, the emperor's most trusted person is the clan relative, aren't you afraid of annoying the emperor and the queen mother and causing death. β
"Oh, it makes sense, I'll go when I should go, when I go, Brother Yuan doesn't want to stay out of the matter, and then we will find a way to kill the majesty of Chao Cuo. β
At this time, a waiter ran in and reported: "Report to the master, there is a letter from home." β
"Show me. Dou Ying took the small wooden box containing the bamboo slips, opened the sealing rope, and unfolded the letter written by the Empress Dowager Dou to herself, the whole page was urging her to enter the palace, and she couldn't help but ponder in her heart, "See, I didn't enter the palace, and even the old lady couldn't sit still." β
At this moment, several heralds dressed in palace costumes walked into the house and shouted: "The holy decree has arrived, please accept the decree from Dou Ying." β
Dou Ying immediately kowtowed to the ground and said, "The common people Dou Ying took the order." β
"Dou Ying has always been virtuous and upright, after being demoted to a concubine, I think about it day and night, there is something going on today, and the special edict comes to discuss the country, please go to the palace to perform ......your duties as soon as possible after receiving the decree," the herald leaned down after reading it and continued, "Dou Ying, the emperor said, let you enter the palace as soon as possible after receiving the decree, and you must not resist the decree." β
"The common people Dou Ying is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live. β
Dou Ying saw the two holy decrees and a family letter, and felt that he couldn't take the shelf anymore, so he left for Weiyang Palace, and said to Yuan Ang at the same time: "Brother Yuan, let's go into the palace with me, I promise that you will be reused immediately, and then I am afraid that he will make a mistake and find trouble." β
"Okay, let's go together. β
So Dou Ying and Yuan Ang drove to Weiyang Palace at the same time, Yuan Ang waited outside the palace, Dou Ying came to Weiyang Palace at the order, and saw Zhou Yafu, Chao Cuo and other close ministers were standing in front of the map with Liu Qi to discuss the military situation.
"Dou Ying visits the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live. β
Liu Qi turned to look at Dou Ying and said with a smile: "Dou Ying, you are finally here, it's so hard to invite you." β
"Dou Ying has been sick for a long time, and he was unable to move due to the pain a few days ago, so I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. β
"There is an emergency in the world, you Dou Ying can't stay out of the matter, you can't shirk anymore, hurry up and come over to take a look at the military situation." β
"No. β
Then Zhou Yafu said: "Now the vassal states are in rebellion, the main force is in Wu Chu, Wu Chu's army has always been fierce, and should send elite soldiers to the front line, unable to attack head-on, waiting for the opportunity to outwit the Wu Chu coalition army, and then send good generals to guard Xingyang, which can ensure that Chang'an is worry-free." β
"What do you suggest?"
"In favor of the lieutenant. "Okay, Zhou Yafu obeys the order, and I will promote you to the rank of lieutenant, in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, and responsible for countering the rebellion. β
"Commandment. β
"Dou Ying obeyed the order, I named you a general, and obeyed the dispatch of the captain to participate in the counterinsurgency. β
"Commandment. β
After receiving the order, Zhou Yafu continued: "Your Majesty, there are only a handful of soldiers and horses that can be taken away from Chang'an, and I plan to come to the front line, gather all the soldiers near the front line, and wait for the opportunity to act, and only if I can mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty can we have a chance of winning." β
"Hehe, Taiwei Zhou is afraid that he will not be able to move the army of King Liang, don't worry, the transfer of troops is here, I will give it to you, you can mobilize all my soldiers and horses, and bring the thirty-six generals under you to counterinsurgency, and then I will transfer the border pass Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi and other generals to the front line of Liang to participate in the counterinsurgency. β
"No, the other minister got reliable news that King Wu sent Tian Lubo as a general to plan to go west along the Yangtze River and Huaishui, collect the troops of Huainan and Changsha, and then enter Wuguan to assemble and then try to Chang'an. β
"I have appointed you to be the captain, you can go and discuss the deployment of troops to deal with this matter. β
"In addition, Dou Ying, you will go to rescue the besieged Qi State and counter-rebel for me. β
"No, the minister also wants to recommend a few people for His Majesty. β
Say. β
"Yuan An, Luan Bu, Li Ji and others are all idle at home, and now is the time to use them. β
"Oh, tell them to come to me. β
"Yuan Ang is waiting outside the palace now, he is the prime minister of Wu, and he must know more about Wu Guo. β
"Hehe, you are a Dou baby, then you will see Yuan Anjing. β
The yellow gate of the palace gate shouted loudly: "Yuan Ang entered the palace to meet the emperor." β
Yuan Ang walked up the stairs with steady steps, and came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace to meet the emperor Liu Qi.
