Chapter 80: The Choice of New Year's Gifts
He Lingchuan said: "What does this have to do with Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu, why did they come to seize the Dafang Pot?" ”
"Sun Fuping and Da Sima rebelled together, and were removed from the post of national teacher by the king himself, so he didn't use the social order from beginning to end in the Panlong Desert." He Chunhua continued, "As for Xunzhou Mu, he originally belonged to the Great Sima faction and had a deep friendship in private, but until now he has not moved his troops and has not openly rebelled. In my speculation, if Nian Songyu can retrieve the Dafang pot for him, this is a great bargaining chip, and it is easy to say which side he wants to stand on. ”
Sun Fuping, a shrewd person, also stood on the wrong side this time, and the price was to die in Panlong City.
The struggle for power is really not a wrong step.
He Yue said in a clear voice: "The magnificent main battlefield is in the north and center. Blackwater City and the Panlong Desert are just small waves that have been swept up in them. ”
He Chunhua and his eldest son glanced at each other.
Their thrilling and near-death adventures seem to be nothing in the eyes of those who plan the overall situation.
He Lingchuan searched in his mind for a moment, then gave up. The original body usually only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and has no concept of major events in the country at all, and he has almost no impression of these influential figures mentioned by the second brother.
Mrs. Ying had been listening, and only then did she speak: "In this way, there is nothing to be gained from the trip to Panlong City?" There are a lot of lives in it. ”
She rarely talked about national affairs with men, but the father and son of the He family escaped death and brought out 200 people, and only a few dozen came back.
They came back empty-handed, and the dead had to be compensated. Isn't it cost-effective for my husband to take this adventure?
He Chunhua heard this, but laughed: "Madam, this is not how the account is calculated!" ”
"Although we didn't get the Dafang pot, we killed Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping, this is the biggest gain of this trip!" He grabbed a full glass of wine and dried it in one gulp, "Sun Fuping is one of the first offenders of this rebellion, and the royal court regards it as a big trouble. I killed him, relieved the king's worries, and was able to lift the morale of the army, which was a great achievement. ”
He Yue also said: "Sun Fuping has been a national teacher for many years, and he knows countless secrets, and he is scheming and powerful. He went to Panlong City to seek to seize the Dafang Pot, whether it was to help Da Sima or defect to others, he was deeply afraid of the royal court. When we get rid of the troubles for the big kite, in fact, we are also involved in the war against the rebellion, and we may not be rewarded for meritorious deeds afterwards. ”
He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Killing Sun Fuping is to share the country's worries, and killing Nian Songyu is to get rid of the second child." If we die in the desert, he will come back to you. ”
Mrs. Ying was curious: "What is the matter with him looking for Yue'er?" ”
He Yue's face turned pale and he was displeased: "Hugh listens to the nonsense of the eldest brother." However, Xunzhou Mu didn't get the big square pot, and folded into a son, I don't know what to do next. ”
He Chunhua sneered: "I have been thinking about how to explain the death of Sun Nian and the others to the royal court on the way, it turned out to be purely worrying. Tomorrow, I will deliver the news of Xunzhou Mu and Sun Fuping's conspiracy to Dafang Pot to the royal court, and he will not have time to come to me again in the future. ”
He Lingchuan remembered his father's sad face when he marched in the desert for more than ten days, and then looked at his eyebrows dancing now, and there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, and he also knew that he had finally let go of the regret of missing the generous pot.
He Chunhua asked He Yue: "I'll test you, if the news of the deaths of Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping reaches Xunzhou, what will the general of Zhengbei do?" ”
He Lingchuan was unconvinced: "Dad, why don't you ask my opinion?" ”
"Tell me about it."
"Rebellion." He Lingchuan smiled, "It's useless to argue, he has no other choice but to rebel." ”
Xunzhou Munian Praise Ceremony was originally wearing the same pants as Da Sima, but he was not at the scene when Da Sima rebelled, and he was also hidden afterwards, others did not know what he was doing, and Wang Ting must be dissatisfied: not sending troops to fight Da Sima is not showing loyalty.
Now that the news that Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping are seeking to obtain the Dafang pot has spread, Xunzhou Muzhen has fallen into the crotch of his pants, and no matter how he argues, the royal court will not accept it. What's more, he had bad intentions in the first place.
Isn't this just forcing him to rebel?
"Not necessarily, there are other options for the New Year's Celebration." He Yue said, "In addition to rebelling with Da Sima, he can also throw himself into the Northern Demon Kingdom!" ”
He Lingchuan was stunned: "He is known as the general of the expedition to the north, hasn't he fought many battles with the demon country?" ”
It seems that he should really look for an opportunity to make up for this knowledge.
"Actually, the Nian family is doing well in Northland." He Yue said, "After my father came to Qiansong County, he also fought with foreign enemies twice in three days, and he has been fighting for ten years. But you see, now our border trade is very prosperous, and the relationship with many countries is good. ”
"That's because there is still a Coiling Dragon Desert between us and the foreign enemy, as long as we occupy Blackwater City, the other party will not be able to enter......" He Lingchuan smiled, "Okay, okay, what you want to say, I know that Nian Zanli may surrender to the Northern Demon Kingdom." ”
"Then his gift to the Northern Demon Kingdom is Xunzhou under his jurisdiction." He Yue Zhengse said to He Chunhua, "He won't suffer a loss, because the Northern Demon Kingdom will appoint him to continue to serve as the governor of a state." The use of generals to descend to the state has been a matter of ancient times. ”
"Then he only has these two choices next, follow Da Sima, or defect to the Northern Demon Kingdom." He Chunhua groaned, "Although Da Sima has suffered a defeat recently, he has a strong foundation, and with the help of Xunzhou Mu, I don't know when the domestic chaos will end; If he wants to go north, of course the northern demon country is willing, and he will take another state without blood, and Xunzhou is in a tight terrain, once it is occupied by the demon country, there will be a large area of fertile plains behind it, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. ”
"That is to say, no matter how Xunzhou Mu acts in the future, it will be a ruthless and bloody cut for the big kite." He Lingchuan stretched, "If I am the king, then it is better to maintain the status quo." ”
He Chunhua listened, his brows furrowed.
He Lingchuan wiped his mouth and was about to leave the table, when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Dad, Sun Fuping's staff doesn't obey the call, do you have any instructions for using it there?" ”
After losing his master, the beast's scepter reverted to the form of a vajra, and he was silent no matter how he drove it with his real power.
"That staff isn't really right for you, why don't you sell it?"
Mrs. Ying also spoke: "When I come back from this adventure, there are more places to spend money, not to mention anything else, how much silver will be spent to issue a bereavement pension!" It's better to sell it for money to make up for the shortfall. ”
He Lingchuan hugged his chest with both hands: "This is my reward for saving dozens of people, my father gave it to me personally, how can there be any reason to go back?" ”
Want to tease him? The family pension is in the public account, and there is no need for the He government to pay for it.
He Chunhua thought for a while, took out a notebook from his arms, flipped it up, and then tore off a page for him: "Oh, the usage of that cane is written on it." ”
