Chapter Twenty-Six: The Night of the Thunderstorm, the Change of the Stars
The next night, Li Fu finally waited for the long-awaited arraignment.
"Report! The later general Nanjia has been ordered to transfer troops to Jiangping County, and has now crossed the river to the bank of the Weining River! ”
"Report! The Ji family's private army has now crossed the river and entered the hinterland of Jiangping County! ”
“……”
With the news of the movement of the army one after another, Li Fu's expression gradually relaxed, and he sat leisurely in the palace and drank tea, waiting for the final good news.
"Report! Lord, in the hinterland of Jiangping County, the traces of the Baihua Army were found in the direction of Lincheng, and there was a plain encounter with the left general Li Ping, during which the true form of the red phoenix appeared. But he was defeated by General Li's 50,000 Xuanjia, and now he has withdrawn to the west! ”
"Excellent! No matter how the other party divides his troops, he only needs to keep an eye on Qin Zhao, and no one else needs to think about it! ”
Li Fu perked up, stood up and said loudly.
After his subordinates received the order, he paced outside the palace and looked into the distance.
Today is the night of the full moon, and the sky is getting dark, so it stands to reason that it should be the time when the moon and stars are scarce.
However, at this time, Nanyang County was pouring rain, and the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, completely obscuring the moonlight.
Li Fu looked at the drowsy night and heavy rain, and sighed: "It's really good weather, just in time to see off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
......
The capital city of Yangcheng, the prime minister's house.
Chu Huaijin also got the news that Qin Zhao had re-entered Jiangping County, and at the same time, he also received a letterhead from Li Fu.
"Prime Minister Chu Taijian:
"The crown prince Qin Zhao has entered the boundary of Jiangping County again at this time. Heavy troops have long been assembled and garrisoned here, and there are nearly 300,000 pursuers in the rear. The encirclement and suppression were successful, and in one fell swoop.
"Without further ado, I hope that the prime minister will assist the four princes to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.
"CRRC government ordered Li Fu to write it himself."
There is not much content, and Chu Huaijin quickly finished reading it.
But after reading it, he was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he muttered to himself: "Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao, it seems that I overestimated you." Originally, I saw that you had never committed suicide without receiving the edict, and I thought that you were different from the past, but I didn't expect that more than three years have passed, and there is still no progress......"
The tone is complicated, I don't know whether it is relief or regret.
"But Li Fu, what did you do to me? What good will it do me to support Qin Fu to ascend to the throne now? ”
Speaking of this, Chu Huaijin sneered, put the brocade silk in his hand into the flames, and quickly turned into a pile of ashes.
"Let's wait until Qin Zhao is dead."
For Li Fu, it is certain that the sooner Qin Fu succeeds to the throne and becomes emperor, the greater the benefits for him.
After all, he is just a CRRC government order in the end. It is only by relying on the close relationship with Emperor Xia that he can occupy a key position in this great change and gain a first-mover advantage.
But the current initiative is still in the hands of Chu Huaijin, who ranks first among the three publics.
As for why the two chose Qin Fu at the same time, the reason is very simple. The first is that he is still young and has no brains, so he is easy to control; The second is that Emperor Xia has been careless about housework over the years, and has neglected to discipline Qin Fu, and the enlightenment and teaching have basically been completed by Li Fu and Chu Huaijin.
Having said that, Chu Huaijin was still a little uneasy. Li Fu is scheming, and he doesn't know who Qin Fu is closer to, so he hasn't completely made up his mind until this moment.
And he is also a scholar at heart, although he is obsessed with power because of his background, he does not want the Great Xia Dynasty to decline because of this. Coupled with Yan Chang's promise before, he was a little shaken in his heart.
Therefore, Qin Zhao's next situation is the final straw, which will determine which side the balance in Chu Huaijin's heart will eventually tilt towards.
In addition, the emperor succeeded to the throne, and it was not just his lips. The edict, the Taimiao, the clan, the filial piety, and especially the series of events that announced the death of Emperor Xia, which are very complicated.
The balance between the various interpersonal relationships and the forces of all parties can not be completed in a day or two.
What's more, Qin Zhao still has the great righteousness of being the crown prince, if he doesn't die, the pressure is all on Chu Huaijin's side. On the contrary, the final bargain fell on Li Fu, how could he do such a stupid thing.
If you don't do things absolutely now, you can leave room for yourself, and you can attack and retreat in the position of prime minister, so why take the risk.
"Li Fu, you are indeed a character, when it comes to power and trickery, I really can't compare to you, but don't treat me Chu Huaijin as a fool to call ......"
......
In the land of the Tantai clan in Sanchuan County, the two sisters of Tantai Jinshu and Tangtai Shengge were talking with an old woman.
"Ancestor, have you noticed the change in the stars?"
The younger Shantai Shengge asked in a somewhat excited voice.
On the side, Tai Jinshu shook his head a little helplessly.
What's there to be happy about here? Isn't the change of the stars a good thing for those of them who survive by observing the changes in the star palace?
When the old woman heard this, she did not reprimand her for disobedience, and she didn't see any joy or anger on her face, but said calmly: "This is not an ordinary astrological change. ”
The girl's expression was confused, and she didn't understand what the old man meant.
"The star palace is disordered, the stars are chaotic, this is a drastic change is coming......" The old woman sighed, and her eyes, which were originally slightly cloudy, were extremely deep at this time.
"Ancestor, what do you mean by this?" Yutai Shengge stopped laughing, and his expression became serious.
The Tantai Jinshu on the side also looked uneasy.
"My family has been in the same vein for thousands of years, and I have never seen such changes. The occasional change is already the time when the human race turns the world upside down, but even so, it will not completely blind us. ”
At this point, she stopped talking and didn't continue to explain, and kept silent about the details no matter how the two sisters asked.
He turned to look at the two of them and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can survive this catastrophe, you can enter the court." It's not as a guest secretary, it's for you to seriously assist him. ”
Shantai Jinshu and Shantai Shengge glanced at each other, both a little surprised.
Their family's ancestral precepts have always been as bystanders, guiding the people of the Mandate of Heaven a little, and not allowing too much interference in them.
At that time, the reason why the Tangtai clan replaced the Xiong clan to manage the territory of the Jin State was also to follow the mandate of heaven, and after that, the territory basically implemented a policy of autonomy and rarely intervened directly.
Why did the ancestors let them enter the court directly?
"What about you, Ancestor?" Yutai Jinshu asked, his voice was warm, not slow.
"I'm old, and when the time comes, I'll do my last bit for the Terrans, while I can still see something." She first said something that was incomprehensible as an explanation.
Then he stared at the two most talented women in the hundreds of years with slightly cloudy eyes.
"Jinshu, you have a calm personality, when the time comes, you must focus on persuasion, always think about the foundation of our human race, and try not to let His Highness act aggressively.
"Sheng Ge, although you are amazingly talented, you have a lively temperament, and you are not suitable to be a phase teacher. But in this day and age, it may be just right. 'Change your life' is your favorite phrase, I hope you can keep in mind your heart, don't be afraid when the time comes, and be timid to do things.
"Of course, the premise is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the dead game."
The young woman's face was a little unnatural when she heard this, but she didn't expect that her ancestors would know what she usually said when she chatted with her sister.
Thinking of this, she glared at the woman in white on the side.
Tai Jinshu shook his head, indicating that he was not the secret.
Seeing this, the old woman laughed, and the sorrow in her heart dissipated a lot in an instant.
"Okay, I didn't tell me from Jinshu, don't think nonsense. Listen to your sister more in the future, this is my last advice to you. ”
......
In addition to Li Fu and Chu Huaijin, the two key figures who are the players of this game, as well as the special position of the Xiangshi of the Tai clan, they are watching the movements of Jiangping County.
The eyes of the high-level forces of all parties in the world are also gathered here.
Taiwei Yan Chang in the court, and Xu Yan, the imperial historian;
the Legalist faction of Donghai County, Han Guiren, Zifei, Shao Longzhi and others;
Lingyan Pavilion News Network all over the world, Beishan County Guigu heirs;
The ambitious relics of the Wuguo of Donghai County, the son of the Liang family;
Taoguang raised the obscure Jiangbei County Zhou Wang Yumai, a son of the Zhou family;
and the generals of the four armies and the relics of the Qianguo in the bureau......
are all watching how Qin Zhao will break the game, or die......
At this time, Qin Zhao, looking at the torrential rain in front of him, was also a little emotional.
After this game, it is the sleepy dragon ascending to heaven, and there will be no shackles again.
"It's a nice day." He sighed softly.
"Li Fu, the chess game is the end."
The sky was lightning and thunder, and dark clouds covered the stars and the moon.
Qin Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at this magnificent natural scenery with an ethereal expression, and his thoughts returned to the day before yesterday.
remembered the conversation with Yan Qingjun at the Wujiao Pass that day......
