Chapter 55: Upheaval in Zhongzhou
Liu Zixing said: "Uncle Huang, before Your Majesty leaves, let me tell Uncle Huang that he is in Zhongzhou and looks west to Xizhou. ”
He Tian got up and saluted in the direction of Zhongzhou, his face solemn: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”
Feng Qiao took Liu Zixing to settle down and rest, He Tiancai rubbed his cheeks, and sighed that acting is really not an easy thing.
Liu Zixing had too many thoughts, and he was afraid that he would be confused, so He Tian had to make a few moves in a row to shake his mind, so as not to guess something.
"Go and get the strategist."
The guards on the side should have retreated.
After about two quarters of an hour, Xie Chong hurriedly walked in.
After He Tian invited the military advisor to sit down, he asked: "Military advisor, the king of Guangling has just come, and as we expected, he asked this king to bring heavy troops to Zhongzhou in the name of escorting Xiao Yan. ”
"Your Highness, King Guangling really has a bad heart, if His Highness really does what he says, mobilizing tens of thousands of elite soldiers just to escort one person, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of many surrounding feudal towns, and Your Majesty will be suspicious of His Highness anyway, suspecting that His Highness is rebelling."
"Well, this king knows." He Tian nodded in response.
In the play, it was obvious that Liu Hui asked Liu Zixing to ask Xizhou for help, but when the Xizhou army really attacked the Zhongzhou Palace, Liu Hui cried and thought that the imperial uncle was going to kill him.
It can be seen that the way to ask for help in Liu Hui's heart is definitely not what Liu Zixing said.
This will only be Liu Zixing's own decision.
Liu Zixing's move should be to put a thorn in Liu Hui's heart.
Liu Hui is a person who values family affection, ignores the country, and has no imperial style, but if he thinks that his life is endangered, it is not impossible for him to kill the emperor's uncle.
Human nature, after all, is selfish.
"Has Mrs. Luo arrived in Zhongzhou?"
"It was there three days ago."
"Then have all our people arrived in Zhongzhou?"
"In the name of caravans or families, they have been mixed in one after another."
"Then let the whole place do it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
On February 6, the third day of Liu Zixing's arrival in Xizhou, there was urgent news from Shouyang, saying that Jiangling's soldiers and horses had moved, and He Tian sent Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing with 100,000 soldiers and horses to support Shouyang.
On February 7, the soldiers and horses urgently reported that the rebels were besieging Yongcheng, and He Tian sent Xie Yun and Feng Qiao to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to relieve the siege.
On February 9, there was a mutiny in Yan'an and Jinzhou, and the assassin sent messengers to ask for help from the vassal kings in various places, and He Tian sent General Gan to lead troops and horses to support.
On February 10, Liu Zixing, who had been waiting in the palace for a long time, couldn't help but beg to see He Tian again.
"Uncle Huang, Zixing has been coming to Xizhou for a while, and I am afraid that if it drags on any longer, Zhao Teng will be suspicious and ask Uncle Huang to make a quick decision."
In the study, Liu Zixing said to He Tian anxiously.
He Tian frowned, led Liu Zixing to the sand table, pointed to the sand table and said to him: "King Guangling, you see, in order to suppress the rebellion in these places in Xizhou in the past few days, most of the soldiers and horses have been dispatched, and the only remaining troops have to guard the border of Xizhou, and they can't move without permission. What's more, how to bring heavy troops to Zhongzhou without arousing the suspicion of the world is really a headache for this king. ”
Liu Zixing sighed in his heart and said, "Uncle Huang, Your Majesty's safety is in your hands, and I ask Uncle Huang to make a decision as soon as possible." ”
He Tian secretly glanced at him, Liu Zixing is really not good.
Although he has slowly blackened under the Queen Mother, Zhao Teng and others for so many years, he has empty ambition and no ability, if it weren't for Zhou Shengchen, who was too simple, he would not have been planted in his hands.
No wonder a few years after Zhou Shengchen's death, Bei Chen died in his hands.
Pretending to hesitate to delay time, He Tian's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and Liu Zixing stared at him tightly.
Suddenly, a dusty soldier rushed in, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Zhongzhou. As he spoke, he handed over the urgency.
He Tian got up and took it, unfolded it and took a look, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.
Liu Zixing next to him looked at He Tian's face, and his heart slowly rose, and after He Tian finished reading it, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Huang, what happened in Zhongzhou?" ”
He Tian said angrily: "The newspaper said that Liu Yuan and Prime Minister Liu Wei were drinking and feasting the night before when they were suddenly attacked by a thunderbolt and were blown to pieces. Now that the soldiers and horses in Zhongzhou are leaderless and divided, Zhao Teng has no support from Liu Yuan, and in desperation, he has taken His Majesty and the Queen Mother hostage. ”
Liu Zixing was blindsided all of a sudden, how should this be good, it took a while to come back to his senses, and he shouted anxiously: "Please Uncle Huang send troops quickly!" ”
He Tian paced back and forth in the hall for a while before turning his head to Liu Zixing and said, "Xizhou is now short of soldiers and horses, which is not enough to suppress the Zhongzhou army. In order to achieve this plan, we need to ask for help from the outside world. ”
Liu Zixing said helplessly: "Uncle Huang, if the vassal kings of various places knew the news and didn't take advantage of the situation to raise troops to rebel, how could they be willing to support?" ”
He Tian walked to the sand table and pointed to a flag next to the few places he had just pointed to.
Liu Zixing stepped forward and took a look: "Taiyuan Wang Jinrong? ”
He Tian nodded: "Jin Rong is the father of the queen, if Your Majesty is fine, it will benefit him the most." If it were him, he would be willing to raise troops to support. ”
Liu Zixing frowned and said: "Uncle Huang, but Jin Rong is a back-spindle, if he is allowed to lead the troops into Zhongzhou, I am afraid that it will be..."
"Don't worry about Jin Rong, this person is a Qihu person, he has always been unpopular in Beichen, although he has military power, but that bit of strength is not enough to support his ambition to rebel, but if he can keep His Royal Highness, the benefit will be greater, I believe he will not be so short-sighted."
He Tian patted Liu Zixing's shoulder and said: "This king will also lead some elite soldiers to Zhongzhou, and when this king is there, Jin Rong can't mess around." ”
Liu Zixing lowered his head and rolled his eyes, if he could let King Xiao Nanchen and King Taiyuan fight in Zhongzhou, he, a fisherman, might be able to benefit from it.
No matter how bad it is, with the emperor's uncle here, his life should be worry-free.
He Tian observed Liu Zixing's face and saw that he should have accepted this suggestion, and continued: "The information that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother were held hostage has been blocked by the hundred officials, and it has not been widely circulated, so there needs to be someone who can reassure Jin Rong to report the news." ”
"King Guangling, you have grown up with Your Majesty since you were a child, and you have a very strong relationship, if it were you, Jin Rong should believe it."
Liu Zixing responded in one bite.
Jin Rong has always had a lot of difficulties for him because of the crown prince, and it is unpredictable to go at this time, but he has no power in his hands, and he can only gamble if he wants to win the throne.
And he and Jin Rong are not incompatible...
"Very good, without further ado, I will arrange for someone to escort King Guangling to Taiyuan secretly."
Looking at the back of King Guangling in the distance, He Tian's eyes slowly turned cold.
In the TV series, Jin Rong and King Guangling teamed up to kill Zhou Shengchen, so let them die together this time.
