767: Prologue to the Crown
"Xie Yu, you are so bold!"
"The patrol battalion is not your government soldier, and it is a great crime to be transferred to private use, are you really so daring?"
The commander of Meng scolded sharply, and the sound was like thunder.
Everyone present tonight knew that Xie Hou had the idea of breaking the net, in order to kill Gong Yu and the Zhuo family here, first extinguish all the mouths that could be extinguished, and then deliberately lead the situation to the party in front of the emperor.
But people didn't expect that Xie Yu was so crazy that he directly let the people from the patrol battalion enter the house.
On the surface, the current Marquis of Ning Guohou has jumped over the wall in a hurry, and it seems that he has no intention of going to the front of the emperor to defend himself, because once the patrol battalion enters the palace, His Majesty the Emperor will no longer be able to trust Xie Yu no matter what.
Mei Changsu watched the torches move in his field of vision.
In the dark night, the Linling Pavilion became brighter and brighter.
Jiang Zuo Meilang's brows furrowed uncontrollably, and then he raised his eyes to look at Xie Yu, who looked obviously anxious.
Mei Changsu muttered, "It's not the mansion that Xie Yu let the patrol camp enter. ”
Xie Yu did not reach the point of exhaustion.
One of Xie Houye's partners had already finished his retreat in the East China Sea at this time, and he had left for Beijing a month ago.
If Lord Xia Jiang, the head of the Hanging Mirror Division, returned to Beijing and helped Xie Yu, the latter might be able to escape from death, but the patrol battalion entered the mansion and mingled in tonight's incident, and Xie Yu would have no chance of turning the tables.
Xie Yu looked at Ouyang Yi, the commander of the patrol battalion not far away, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Commander Ouyang, why did you trespass into the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion?"
Ouyang Yi is a thin middle-aged man, polite and polite, among the four commanders of the patrol battalion, he is Xie Yu's most loyal subordinate, although Xie Hou Ye has been robbed of the control of the patrol battalion by His Majesty, but it is not too much to let Ouyang Yi maintain law and order on the streets outside the mansion and resist King Xia Yu and the soldiers under him.
But the patrol battalion entered the Hou Mansion today, and the nature of the whole thing has undergone the most fundamental change.
Xie Yu's heart was full of doubts.
But as a clear voice sounded, I saw Ouyang Yi, who was at the forefront, bowing slightly and letting go.
"Today's Ningguo Marquis Mansion is really lively."
"It's been less than a month since I left Jinling City, how can it feel like I've been away for a year?"
Lu Ze appeared in front of everyone in a strong black suit, with a strong smile on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, everything is silent.
Everyone's eyes converged on Lu Ze's body, and there was a strong color of shock in his eyes.
Wuwei Hou Lu Ze!
How did he return to Kyoto so quickly?
Beside the eldest princess of Liyang, even Liu Qiushuang's eyes widened involuntarily, even she didn't know how Lu Ze suddenly returned to Jinling City, Lu Ze stepped forward, bowed slightly to his mother, and said in a low voice: "This trip is to return to Beijing in simple clothes to report to Your Majesty, and it is estimated that you can only stay for about three days." ”
Liu Qiushuang's eyes flashed brightly.
She quickly pulled Lu Ze aside, her voice was very low, but the tremor in her tone was clearly visible.
"It's... Is there a situation at the border? ”
Lu Ze is now serving as the commander of the Western Frontier Army, and he will not return to Kyoto at will without major circumstances.
Thinking of the future that Lu Ze had talked to her about in the mansion before, Liu Qiushuang's eyes were full of disbelief, how could it be so fast?
Lu Ze faced his mother's torch-like eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "The Western Territory Army raided on the night of the fifth day and took Hanchen Pass, the head of the Xiongguan in the south of Dayu. ”
Hanchen Pass.
The most important checkpoint in the southern border of Chongqing.
This is a combination of politics, economy, and military affairs.
Lu Ze's piecemeal layout during this period of time was not seen by Da Yu, and finally let him find an opportunity to cleanly complete the small ending on the chessboard, not to mention Da Yu, even the Western Frontier Army knew nothing about this abrupt military operation.
It wasn't until Hanchen Pass was conquered that the generals in the army knew that Lu Hou was not sitting in the big tent safely.
It turned out that his eyes had been on the map of the border of Dayu early on.
After listening to Lu Ze's words, Liu Qiushuang gasped.
The impact of this incident that Lu Ze said in a homely tone on her was far greater than everything she had seen in the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo tonight.
The importance of Hanchen Pass to Dayu is no less than the importance of Meiling to Daliang, which is the most strategically significant Xiongguan in the south of Dayu, and everyone did not expect that Lu Ze's eyes were locked on Hanchen Pass.
Xuanbu is just an appetizer.
Hanchenguan is the main dish that can fill your stomach.
Regarding Lu Ze's sudden return to Beijing, Liu Qiushuang was not surprised.
At this time, Lu Ze, who is definitely the commander of the Western Territory, will return to Beijing in person to face the saint.
Lu Ze came to the center of the main hall of Linling Pavilion, looked around, and said with a smile: "Benhou heard that there was a riot in the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, and he specially led the patrol battalion to maintain order. ”
At this time, it was not Xie Yu who was the first to refute it, nor those people from Nanchu.
Instead, it's summer and winter.
I saw that the head of the Hanging Mirror Division sneered: "Lu Hou has returned to Beijing thousands of miles away, is it that he came to the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guo to play prestige?" ”
The smile on Lu Ze's face did not decrease: "So what, are you not convinced?" ”
Xia Dong's face sank instantly.
Lu Ze continued with a smile: "I heard that Xia Shouzun of the Hanging Mirror Division has finished his retreat in the East China Sea and is about to return to Jinling. ”
Xia Dong was furious.
Everyone in the world knows that the mirror is hanging high.
And the first lord Xia Jiang is the first-class in the world, but his own martial arts are not particularly outstanding.
How can he be compared with Lu Houye, who is at the top of the Langya list and at the peak of his combat power?
Xia Dong hid his anger.
This Lu Ze is said to be the Marquis of Wuwei of the Great Liang, with outstanding military achievements, and he is clearly a villain in his bones!
How did Nihuang fall in love with him in the first place?
Lu Ze then looked at Yu Wenxuan, and His Royal Highness the King of Tomb subconsciously wanted to hide back.
It was really that punch that day that left too deep an impression on Yu Wenxuan, so much so that now he feels like his mouth is leaking when he speaks.
The girl Yu Wennian instead raised her chest high, which was not obvious, and her eyes full of spirit looked at Lu Ze without fear, Yue Xiuze moved to the front when she saw this, and bowed her hand: "Da Chu Yue Xiuze has seen Lu Houye." ”
With just such a simple contact, Yue Xiuze knew that his Cloud Suppression Sword was definitely not the opponent of the other party.
Lu Ze glanced at the Cloud Suppression Sword Master, and said lightly: "When you come to Daliang Jinling, it's better to keep a low profile." ”
After that, Lu Ze looked at Xie Yu not far away.
This Marquis Xie is the real protagonist of today's birthday banquet.
The combat strength of the soldiers of the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion is not low, but as the soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion enter the Linling Pavilion, these soldiers no longer dare to act rashly.
The part of this drama that has just reached its climax suddenly stopped.
The arrival of Lu Ze made the killing no longer.
In the end, of course, all that remained was the argument between the two sides in front of the emperor.
Since Gong Yu and the Zhuo family are still alive, this means that Hou Ye Xie has completely lost everything.
Mei Changsu's complexion was normal.
Lu Ze's sudden return to Beijing turned out to be just in time.
The guests walked out.
The originally lively Linling Pavilion suddenly became extremely quiet.
Outside the Hou Mansion, King Yu carried the soldiers of the government and began to escort the Zhuo family into the prison of the Criminal Department, although after the prisoner exchange case, King Yu's control over the Criminal Department was not as good as before, but at least the safety of the Zhuo family could be guaranteed in the prison of the Criminal Department.
King Yu's face could not hide the look of ecstasy.
The prince has no Xie Yu's arm, it is like a mountain tiger in the forest without teeth, so there is nothing to worry about.
The eldest princess of Liyang came to the mansion with her weak body, and in the face of Zhuo Dingfeng and Mrs. Zhuo's indifference, she endured it all: "It's all my fault, I just hope you can not involve Qi'er, although she is my daughter, she is also the daughter-in-law of your Zhuo family." ”
The eldest princess knew that after tonight, the Xie Mansion and the Zhuo family would be in decline.
All she can do now is save the lives of the people around her as much as possible.
The eldest princess of Liyang found King Yu.
And Lu Ze saw an acquaintance after he came out.
Yan Que, Yan Hou Ye.
Since Yan Hou talked with Mei Changsu and Lu Ze in the mansion at the end of last year, although he still goes to the mountains to worship the Taoist temple, he has also become more concerned about Yujin at home, and he is worried about his son's safety when he kisses Ning Guohou's mansion tonight.
I saw that Hou Ye, whose hair was fluttering in the wind, moved lightly and came to Lu Ze's side.
After Uncle Guo and Liu Qiushuang greeted each other, he looked at Lu Ze with surprise in his tone: "Lu Hou should have returned to Beijing with a fast horse, isn't it from the western border... What's wrong? ”
Lu Ze briefly told Yan Que about the situation in the west.
Hou Yan's face changed greatly, and he came to his senses after a while: "It was a great victory like winning Hanchen Pass." ”
"It's a pity..."
Yan Que sighed in a low voice, but it was a pity.
He naturally understood the reason why Lu Ze returned to Beijing this time.
The Western Frontier was victorious, and the Western Frontier army had even inserted the dagger in his hand into the place close to the heart of Dayu, but Lu Ze left the border and returned to Jinling at such a critical time, undoubtedly because of the one in the palace.
Emperor Liang obviously reminded or hinted at Lu Ze before.
Of course, you can.
But it is absolutely within the corresponding range.
It is one thing for Emperor Liang to worry about the power of the border army, but the most important thing is that the current Emperor Liang is too old.
Now that the crown prince and King Yu are fighting to such a point, their control over the court is not as good as before, it is impossible for Emperor Liang not to consider the foundation of the future generations of Liang, Lu Ze showed this peerless elegance, Emperor Liang must also have a headache about this.
Jinling City experienced too much on this night.
On the second day, the sun began to rise over the eastern horizon.
Xie Yu was imprisoned, and the whole dynasty was shaken.
The people of the prince's side quickly mobilized all their strength, inquiring about the inside situation while taking turns to intercede and protect each other.
The military marquis of Yipin fell in an instant, which is a big case in recent years anyway, but on the second day, the ministers at the court meeting only briefly talked about the fall of Xie Yu, and a major event was finally presented to the court.
Only then did people know why the Marquis Lu, who had been away from Kyoto for less than a month, suddenly returned to Jinling.
"Great victory in the West!"
"The Huainan Military Town, the head of the military town in the southern border of Dayu, was conquered, and the western army killed and captured countless enemies."
"Hanchen Pass has been taken!"
Above the court, both the civil servants and the military generals were in a state of shock, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Compared with the war in the west, although Ning Guohou's case is appalling, it still cannot be brought to the table today.
Emperor Liang looked at Lu Ze standing at the front with a sigh, Emperor Liang was also ambitious when he was young, and talked about his future ideals with Lin Xie and Yanque all night, hoping that the Great Liang Iron Cavalry could conquer the capitals of the surrounding countries and establish the feats that the ancestors of the Great Liang had never established.
But things in the world change too fast.
Emperor Liang looked at Lu Ze's young but already majestic cheeks, and his expression was complicated.
He finally gave the order.
Contrary to the expectations of the ministers, Emperor Liang rewarded a lot of troops from the Western Frontier, but did not have more rewards for Lu Hou himself.
In the queue of Wenchen, Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng raised his eyebrows at this time, and his quaint and unwavering eyes were full of surprise.
Such surprise is not the surprise that Emperor Liang did not reward Lu Ze.
And I was surprised that His Majesty was so serious about Lu Ze.
The credit for breaking through Hanchen Pass did not meet the bottom line of His Majesty the Emperor's reward to Lu Ze.
What's the bottom line?
Liu Cheng had a faint guess in his heart.
Could it really be .... The prologue to the king.
......
The war between Daliang and Dayu made the whole world boil.
The name Lu Ze once again appeared in the Central Plains countries, streets and alleys, tea shops and wine shops, different from the last time he killed Xuanbu, this time the Great Liang Western Frontier Army directly inserted the dagger into Dayu's body and dug off a piece of fat meat.
Mei Changsu lingered on the sickbed at Xiao Jingrui's birthday banquet.
This matter is very taxing on his body and mind.
His Royal Highness King Jing came to visit.
The back door, of course.
"Father Emperor Qiangang is arbitrary, and Xie Yu's case did not allow any foreign minister to interfere openly."
"Over there in the West..."
Xiao Jingyan uncontrollably reviewed Lu Ze's handwriting in the western realm, even King Jing, who had been in the army for many years, could see the beauty of Lu Ze's chessboard for the first time, but every time he reviewed it, he would be amazed to find something new.
Mei Changsu was weak, but even he didn't resist the temptation to review.
After all, it is the blood of Jiangmenlin Mansion that flows in his bones.
An hour passed in a hurry.
Xiao Jingyan was surprised and asked: "Although Mr. has the talent of a unicorn, after all, he is from the rivers and lakes, how can he be so familiar with the matter of marching, it is like having fought a war." ”
Mei Changsu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I haven't eaten pork, but I've always seen pigs run." There are many veterans and soldiers in the Jiangzuo League, and Su has consulted with these old men about things in the army, so he has dabbled in it. ”
King Jing nodded slightly.
At this time, he sincerely admired that Wu Weihou.
It's a pity that the army in the west stopped.
"Military needs are a problem, and Lu Hou's ability to reach Hanchen Pass is already the limit of the limit."
"This king is very puzzled or that my father doesn't have much reward for such great achievements, it's really some..."
Faced with Xiao Jingyan's doubts, Mei Changsu shook his head.
"It's not as His Highness guessed."
"Your Majesty, he... may be trying to crown the king with a different surname. ”
