No. 444 Wind and Rain Capital
The Manjin country is actually small, with scarce resources and a sparse population. The king of England believes that if the Manjin Kingdom wants to rise rapidly, it must plunder the resources of Great China, and it is best to steal the treasure and win the world!
Such wolf ambitions are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. This time, the king of England led 80,000 iron cavalry from all over the country, with the purpose of defeating the Northern Expeditionary army, followed by a blitzkrieg, and destroyed Great China with the power of a lion and thunder.
Some people think that this is a snake swallowing an elephant and that it is a fool's dream! However, such miracles are not uncommon in history, and the British king has such a great talent and strategy. Seeing the British king's surprise attack on Whitewater City and a complete victory, when Jin Ge Iron Horse went straight to the capital, he was plotted by Meng Tianhong, who was ambushed in the dark, and was seriously injured!
The British king has been unconscious due to wound infection, and Jue Luotuo had no choice but to order: the whole army stopped the pursuit, canceled the original plan, and the lion iron cavalry held on to Whitewater City in order to make a comeback in the future.
Meng Tianhong gathered the defeated officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition for several days, and there were more than 10,000 people left when he counted the numbers. These 10,000 people were in tatters, lost their armor, and had no weapons in their hands. Can such an army still have a duel with the 80,000 iron cavalry of Manjin? Meng Tianhong did not believe it, and neither did the officers and men under his command! In order to preserve this little bit of China's "elite," Meng Tianhong immediately withdrew to the capital.
The battle report from the front was delivered to the base camp in the capital before the defeated army, and the base camp did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately delivered it to the cabinet. According to the previous procedure, the cabinet should write up the preliminary opinion and submit it to the emperor for approval together with the war report. But now the old emperor is still in a coma and can't be approved.
If the emperor can't approve it, then it will be submitted to the second-in-command of the empire. Of course, the second-in-command of the empire has been officially canonized, and the Prince of Rui Yinyu (Ayu) who has been announced to the world is now in Rongcheng, even if he goes to pick up Ayu immediately, the distance back and forth is far away, it will be at least more than half a month. Besides, Ayu still has his affairs to do, who dares not to "forcefully invite" Prince Rui, the future emperor!
The ministers of the Cabinet all looked at Tang Yan because Tang Yan was the prime minister of the Cabinet. Now except for Ayu, only he has the most rights. At this time of imperial crisis, Tang Yan will naturally step forward. Tang Yan was born in a poor family and studied hard since childhood. Be upright, honest and honest. He never pays attention to personal feelings in handling state affairs, and pretends that the country is dedicated to the people. Although Tang Yan is the prime minister, his official uniform is often patched and patched. Every day, he does not take a carriage or an official sedan chair, and he insists on walking to the court.
Tang Yan still does not have his own private property, he only lives in the official post. Such a clear and good official. Everyone in the world respects and praises him! Therefore, Tang Yan has a high prestige in the cabinet. Tang Yan sat on the chair of the first prince of the cabinet and looked around: "Cabinet ministers, in this urgent and special situation, this official first assists Prince Rui in handling state affairs, do you have any objections?" Although they are all cabinet ministers and confidants of the old emperor, they are also sleek. They knew that this government affairs had to be handled well, and that was the credit of Prince Rui. If the major affairs of the state are not handled well, then they will lose their heads! Once the country is mistaken, it will be copied and beheaded! Therefore, everyone is in danger. Everyone was originally a shrunken turtle. No one wants to take the lead. Now that Tang Yan has come out to preside over government affairs, everyone is very happy.
Everyone saluted Tang Yan together: "Master Tang has worked hard and is a high-ranking minister, my generation has nothing to say!" Tang Yan nodded: "Okay, then the official will start to give orders: one." Immediately in the name of the cabinet, the fake prince was arrested and handed over to the Zongren Mansion for trial. Second, lock up the Mengtian Turtle and hand it over to Dali Temple for investigation. Third, the Inspectorate will send inspectors to the states ......"
Besides, the fake prince Cha Bo and Father-in-law Jingshou came all the way to the capital. While they were hurrying, they were thinking about whether to go back to the capital and the palace. Or go back to Zoroastrian headquarters. The crown prince ordered the implementation of the rebellion of the camp in Huadong Town, and the plan to attack the capital in the north was vetoed by the sect leader on the grounds that "if you get the spirit bead." If you win the world, you must destroy the Three Kingdoms! If you destroy the Three Kingdoms, you must strengthen Huaxia! If you strengthen Huaxia, you must help Ayu!" After receiving the order from the sect leader, Cha Bo and Jing Shou were confused.
Jing Shou sighed and said: "It seems that the sect leader is no longer optimistic about His Royal Highness, and the sect leader has begun to support Ayu, which shows that the sect leader has reasoned and tested, only Ayu can get the spirit bead when he sits on the country, and Zoroastrianism can ......" Jing Shou's words were only half said, as for the matter of the spirit bead, he actually didn't know at all, he just heard the prince say it by chance, and it was just a matter of facts.
Chalk nodded, he agreed with Jing Shou's analysis, and now he should turn enemies into friends with Ayu, but I don't know what kind of attitude Ayu has? The prince's chalky chariot came to the gate of the capital, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city immediately opened the door and let it go when they saw that it was the chariot of His Royal Highness the Prince. The respect in their eyes didn't change at all.
Chalk and Jing Shou carefully analyzed, "Now that the old emperor is dead, no one in the court can cure the prince's sin, unless Ayu ascends the throne." But Ayu has a lot of things to do, and he can't come to the capital in a short time, so returning to the capital is the best choice! If the old emperor dies quickly and doesn't have time to write down the edict, then maybe he can still seize power! It's just that he is no longer interested in the throne, and it would be good to keep the throne of King Changping. The prince's chariot entered the city gate and went straight to the palace.
The prince entered the palace gate, and the subordinates and guards did not change, it seemed that everything was still the same, which made the prince's uneasy heart calm down a lot. When the prince came to the palace, he took off his cloak and handed it to the servants to hang up, and there was a sudden noise outside the palace. Jinyi Wei Tongzhi took a few cool officials and a group of subordinates to surround the prince and Jing Shou, and more than a dozen dead soldiers under the prince were ready to start breaking the siege, and the prince waved his hand: "Retreat, Master Mei is just coming to the palace as a guest, don't panic!"
Mei Wei didn't talk nonsense, he took out the holy decree and said: "Under the holy decree, Yinrong listens to the decree!" Since it is a holy decree, Chalk does not dare to make a mistake. All the people of the palace knelt down together to listen to the order. Mei Wei glanced at the kneeling chalk, and began to read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Prince Yinrong accompanied the army to the Northern Expedition...... Abolish the crown prince! Withdraw from the palace and keep the king of Changping...... The order will be done immediately, and there is no need to discuss it!"
This decree is true, and it was written and prepared by the emperor before he was plotted. He was so frightened that he was dizzy for a while, and he only heard the abolished prince! He thought, "Didn't this old emperor be poisoned by Gu Suo? Then where did this come from? Mei Wei was a fellow acquaintance of Jinyiwei, and he would never dare to fool him with a false holy decree! This holy decree should have been written by the old emperor before he died." This old guy wants to keep this hand for himself!"
Although the chalk was unwilling in his heart, this was a holy decree after all, and he did not have the courage to resist the decree! The brocade-clothed iron guard archers outside the hall were already on standby. He is no longer the crown prince, but he is still the king of Changping, and this old emperor still saves face for Zoroastrianism. But Na Meilai took out the second edict and read: "Prime Minister Tang Daren's edict: Zha Yinrong colluded with Manjin to confuse the dynasty, and took advantage of the Northern Expedition of the army to defect to the enemy and treason...... As soon as Tang Yan finished reading, he ordered to lock up Chalk and Jingshou together. Outside the palace, the brocade-clothed iron guards held bows and arrows, ready to shoot those who dared to resist the order. (To be continued......)
