Kyoto is within it.

As soon as Qin Changping returned to the palace from the early dynasty, Shi Wubin, the governor of the palace, hurriedly reported to him about the battle situation in Nanyang City.

While listening to Wu Bin's narration, he walked towards the palace hall.

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Wu Bin tightly, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Wu Bin was slightly stunned, and then said: "Xiaguan is talking about the situation of the battle of Nanyang City. ”

"That's it!" Qin Changping said.

"Uh, Gong Yunshan, the main body of the three islands of Xiaoyao Island, was killed by Mao Jiang in Nanyang City." Wu Bin Road.

Qin Changping's brows furrowed, and his expression suddenly became calm.

However, he didn't ask any more, but just ordered: "Let Lu Cheng come over, this king has something for him to do." ”

He already had a general understanding of the situation in Nanyang City, although he was also very shocked, but he didn't show it.

Because no matter what happens to Nanyang City, it will not affect him.

It's just that Gong Yunshan's death made him feel a little heavy.

"Whoa!" Wu Bin responded.

Qin Chengping said: "Although this matter has little impact on Kyoto, it should also be taken seriously. ”

"Since Mao Jiang was instructed by His Majesty to pretend to rebel, then he has made a great contribution this time, and I believe that it will not be long before he will return to Kyoto."

"You prepare in advance."

Wu Bin's expression moved slightly, and he said, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"Do what you like!" Qin Changping said.

"Xiaguan understands!" Wu Bin responded.

Qin Changping walked into the main hall, sat on the main seat, and said thoughtfully: "In addition, Qin Chang'an seems to have been eyeing the twelve regiments and battalions recently!" ”

Wu Bin thought for a while and said: "Lord Wang, the Twelve Regiment Battalion has always been the most important guard army in Kyoto, and Li Ji is the most valued honor of His Majesty, and it is not easy to subdue him. ”

"Moreover, if it reaches His Majesty's ears at this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably cause some anger."

Now the battle in the secret in Kyoto has entered the white heat, as Emperor Li's performance is getting older and older, the battle between Qin Changping, King Ping, Qin Chang'an, King An, and Qin Jun, King Ning, is becoming more and more intense.

Today you pit me, tomorrow I will let people impeach you in the court, you win over the military department, I win over the military department, you meddle in the Eastern Army Governor's Mansion, I will go to the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, the three of you come and go, and they are very happy.

"It is precisely because the 12th regiment battalion is important that we cannot give up." Qin Changping said in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't have much time, if we don't have enough troops in our hands at that time, then we can only let others handle it." ”

By this time, Qin Changping had basically given up the idea of a peaceful succession.

Regardless of whether Emperor Lihuang will pass the throne to him or not, he will not be able to inherit the throne peacefully.

Because no matter who Emperor Lihuang passes the throne to, the other two will not give up, and they will inevitably face each other with swords when the time comes.

"But the most important thing should be Qing Fushan!" Wu Bin said cautiously.

When Qin Changping heard this, he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

Qingfu Mountain was like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of the three of them.

Although Qing Fushan rarely interfered in the affairs of the court, and even most of the innate martial artists rarely showed up, no one dared to ignore Qing Fushan's existence.

And Qing Fushan's attitude is even more important to them.

If he didn't get Qing Fushan's support, even if he sat on the throne, he wouldn't be able to control the court.

Qin Changping sighed and said, "I'll visit Zuo Zhuguo again in the afternoon." ”

Zuo Zhuguo is Li Xun, and he has been there twice before, but unfortunately he was turned away every time.

Even so, he didn't dare to have the slightest complaint or dissatisfaction with Li Xun.

Li Xun and Yan Zhen brought two mountains to the court, one literary and one martial, one left and one right, supporting this huge dynasty.

Maybe they didn't care who inherited the throne, but Qin Changping had to pay attention to their attitude.

……

Within the Imperial City.

In the imperial study of the Shengtian Palace.

Lihuang leaned against the soft collapse, coughing violently, and his old face was slightly flushed.

Gonggong Lu gently slapped his back for a long time before he recovered.

After that, Gonggong Lu brought another bowl of medicinal soup, and Lihuang felt a lot more comfortable after drinking it.

"Hey~~"

Lihuang sighed a little lonely.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, even the emperor is not exempt.

As an emperor who has reigned for more than 40 years, he thinks of himself as a qualified emperor, but he is still an old man who has run out of oil.

Recently, he often recalls the past when he was young, when he was a teenager in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he was trembling after ascending the throne, and he was full of pride when he swept the Quartet.

Every time he thought of this, he became more and more unwilling.

He doesn't want to die, he still wants to continue to live, he also wants to continue to be the emperor of Dali and make Dali stronger.

Unfortunately, time could not be turned back, and he could not go back to the past.

After a while, Emperor Lihuang got up and sat down in front of the bookcase.

"Send a decree to let Mao Jiang come back, he has been wronged for more than ten years."

"And Liu Bo and Lu Ji also let them come back, so that the Seal Ribbon Prison is ready to knight them."

Emperor Li's voice was a little weak.

Gonggong Lu lowered his head and asked, "What title does Your Majesty plan to give them?" ”

Emperor Lihuang thought for a while and said, "Mao Jiang is the prince of the country, Liu Bo and Lu Ji are the uncles!" ”

Since his accession to the throne, he has rarely bestowed knighthoods, not only rarely canonized, but even eliminated many lords.

Now Da Li's nobles are nearly half less than when he ascended the throne, which shows his caution about knighthood.

But this time, Mao Jiang has made a great contribution and paid a lot, perhaps because he is older, and Lihuang's heart is softer.

"The old slave will arrange it!" Lu Gonggong responded.

Emperor Lihuang bowed slightly, and looked down at the folds on the bookcase.

There was a large stack of folds on the bookcase, most of which were inconsequential things, which were inconsequential to Emperor Li, and he just glanced at it, leaving a word 'read' and throwing it aside.

Only a few twists and turns made him look at them a few more times.

One of them is about the Northern Border Army, and Emperor Lihuang looked a lot better at it.

During the Great Battle of Nanyang City, there was also a big battle in Yunyan City in the north, although the scale was not as good as that of Nanyang City, but it was not a trivial matter.

More than 100,000 Rong cavalry soldiers approached the city of Yunyan City, and attacked the city for more than ten days, and the battle was extremely tragic, but in the end, Yunyan City was defended, and more than 100,000 Rong cavalry returned in vain.

In the battle of Yunyan City, there were two people with the most outstanding performance, namely Yuwen Chengdu and Bai Qi.

Looking at these two names, Lihuang was thoughtful.

He hadn't heard of the name Bai Qi, but he was very familiar with Yuwen Chengdu.

When he saw Yuwen Chengdu, the first thing he thought of was naturally Qin Wei.

In this battle of Yunyan City, Yuwen Chengdu, as the deputy chief soldier of Yunyan City, led the border cavalry in Yunyan City out of the city to meet the Rong cavalry many times, and with 10,000 border cavalry, he attacked the Rong army formation, killing tens of thousands of enemies, and made countless achievements.

Although the results of the battle were far less than the battle of the Bright Moon Army in Yunyan City more than twenty years ago, it was definitely a big victory.

Such a great achievement naturally cannot be unrewarded, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the officers and men of the border army.

Emperor Lihuang pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to the Governor's Mansion's request for Yuwen Chengdu, and named him the chief soldier of Yunyan City.

No matter what the relationship between Yuwen Chengdu and Qin Wei is, he can be regarded as having made great achievements for Dali, and the reward he deserves is naturally indispensable.

As for the rest, Lihuang didn't think much about it.

Maybe it was because of inertial thinking, until now he still felt that Qin Wei was just an immature teenager, thinking that Qin Wei had some intelligence and ability, and had never considered how powerful and powerful Qin Wei would be.

……

Half a month passed quickly.

In the past half month, the specific situation of the battle of Nanyang City has spread to every corner of Dali, from the court to the private market, countless people are talking about this matter.

However, not everyone was shocked and shocked by this, and many people were saddened by this, especially the people in the three southwestern states, when they heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief, and the second reaction was anger.

Because many of their family members died in this turmoil, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in battle, and hundreds of people experienced the devastation of the war, especially the people of Yunzhou, a big chaos, and countless people were implicated.

After learning the truth of the matter, the people were excited, and countless civilian warriors and low-level forces were resentful of this, and even gave birth to many forces that rebelled against the imperial court.

The world is shaken, and the people who suffer are the people at the bottom.

Perhaps for Emperor Li, these sacrifices were worth it, but for the common people, the suffering they suffered was unbearable.

For a time, there was chaos in the three southwestern states, and many forces resisting the imperial court appeared in various places.

This time, the imperial court lost the hearts of the people in the three southwestern states.

After Qin Wei returned to Shuzhou, he immediately sent a letter to Liu Yuanrang, asking him to try his best to appease the soldiers of the Davids in Shuzhou.

The people are in turmoil, and they can't afford to stir up any strong winds and waves, but if the soldiers of the town defenders also rebel against the court, then the matter will be a big deal.

Fortunately, the rebellion in Shuzhou was quelled relatively quickly, and there were not many people suffering, and there was a lot less turmoil in the heart.

In addition, Qin Wei is in charge of Shuzhou, and there are not too many Xiaoxiao heels jumping out to do things.

In the annex of the Dan Lin Mansion.

Qin Wei sat in the study, looking at the letters that came one after another.

This time, it took him a month to go to Yunzhou, and although most of the things didn't need to be handled by him personally, all important things had to be reported to him.

For example, the financial situation of Long'an Mansion, Shen Wansan would want Qin Wei to report it once a month.

Another example is the situation of the net, Zhao Gao's preparations in Kyoto, Li Ru's arrangement in Liangzhou, and some experiences of Yuwen Chengdu and Bai Qi will all be sent to Qin Wei.

What Qin Wei needs to do is to coordinate the overall situation and integrate resources.

Just when Qin Wei learned about what happened in various parts of Dali this month, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly walked into the study.

"Your Highness, Marquis Lan Yue is here!"

"Hmm!"

Qin Wei raised his head and asked in surprise, "Why is he here?" ”

"I don't know, he only came with escorts, and he didn't lead the Mingyue Army." Xiao Shunzi said.

Qin Wei raised his eyebrows.

As soon as the battle of Nanyang City ended, Lan Yuehou ran to Shuzhou!

This guy didn't want to clean up the mess in Yunzhou, and came to him to find out what to do.

Qin Wei was a little puzzled, but still said, "Please come over." ”

"Whoa!" Xiao Shunzi answered.

Qin Wei instructed Yuqing and Yuling again: "Prepare tea." ”

"And let the dining room prepare a table of wine and food!"

Lan Yuehou must have a good drink when he comes, although he doesn't like to drink, but he is still very willing to drink with Lan Yuehou.

Before anyone arrived, laughter reached the room.

"Hahaha~~ Lord Rui, long time no see!"

The sound of free and easy laughter came from outside the door, and Qin Wei couldn't help but feel a little happy after hearing it.

Although he didn't have much contact with Lan Yuehou, he still felt that Lan Yuehou was very angry with him, maybe Lan Yuehou was the most suitable person to be his friend.

The word friend is definitely a luxury for Qin Wei today.

He had a lot of people around him, but he didn't have a single friend.

Even the pawn characters only regard him as a master, not as a friend.

Qin Wei stood up, came to the door, looked at Lan Yuehou, who was wearing a bright yellow robe and walked slowly, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, long time no see!" ”

Lan Yuehou came to him and said with a hearty smile: "Ben Hou has long wanted to find the prince to drink, but unfortunately there are many things in Yunzhou, and he has not been able to get out, so it has dragged on until now." ”

Qin Wei let go of the door, made a gesture of please, and said, "The king knows everything about Yunzhou, which really scared the king." ”

Naturally, he would not say that he had been to Yunzhou and watched a big drama with his own eyes.

However, Lan Yuehou looked at him with a smile, "The prince didn't go to Yunzhou?" ”

Qin Wei was stunned and looked at Lan Yuehou in surprise.

"Haha, such a big thing, the prince didn't go to see it!" Lan Yuehou Po said meaningfully.

Although he did not have clear evidence to prove that Qin Wei had been to Yunzhou, he believed that Qin Wei must have gone.

Qin Wei was stunned, but he didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from the eyes of the Hou Ye." ”

The two sat down, and the fragrance of tea floated.

"Because Benhou understands the prince!" Lan Yuehou said with a smile.

When Qin Wei heard this, he smiled and said, "Then I don't know why Master Hou is here?" ”

Lan Yuehou glanced at him deeply and said, "Let me see how you are prepared?" ”

"Prepare what?" Qin Wei was stunned.

"The battle for the throne!" Lan Yuehou said.

Qin Wei's expression was stunned, and his face became solemn.

And Xiao Shunzi next to him and Yuqing, who was pouring tea and water, were even more breathless.

Is this question too explicit to ask, and there is no concealment in the slightest.

Qin Wei slowly raised his head and looked at Lan Yuehou.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, silently.

The tea mist is long.

In the room, Qin Wei's indifferent voice sounded.

"Everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and everything that needs to be done has been done!"

Now, there is no need to hide his ambitions, or it should be said that in the eyes of Youxin, it is useless for him to hide.

As a prince, it was only natural for him to compete for the throne.

"Why don't we make the emperor together?"

Lan Yuehou said with a chuckle.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Wei was completely stunned, and looked at Lan Yuehou with a dull face.

What crazy is this guy talking about?

Rebel?

It's not impossible, but it's not necessary at all.

Emperor Lihuang is going to die of old age, and it is completely thankless to rebel against him at this time.

If Emperor Lihuang could live for ten years, Qin Wei might think about it, he naturally wouldn't wait for ten years, but in just a year and a half, why would he do such a thing.
