Chapter 179: Xiongnu Shan Yu
Jin Xi smiled, fortunately, he had been prepared and had already asked the ins and outs of this poison.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the poison used by the Huns to control the soldiers, and it is extremely evil. Moreover, the antidote to this poison has always been in the hands of the King of the Huns, and it has never been passed on from generation to generation. ”
Li Yunxing nodded, meaning that there is no cure for this poison?
But the death of King Zhaoyang involved the Huns, even if Li Yunxing didn't want to worry about it, it was difficult.
I'm afraid there is another mystery in this matter.
The death of King Zhaoyang was a fuse, and this matter must be investigated.
The poisoning and death of King Zhaoyang soon spread in the palace.
Jiang He led people to check in the Zhaoyang Wang's Courtyard day and night, and finally found a gap in the palace wall outside the gate, with a little blood stain on it.
After finding some clues, Jiang He hurriedly reported the matter to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Li Yunxing closed his eyes, and the rising heat made the cicada chirping even more harsh.
Jin Xi snorted and fanned Li Yunxing, and there were beads of sweat the size of beans on his head.
This year's midsummer is exceptionally hot, and walking under the sun seems to be able to dry people.
After listening to Jiang He's reply, Li Yunxing did not rush to answer.
This trace is about a person's height distance, and there are blood stains, since the palace maid disappeared and disappeared, most of them have been wiped out.
At least it proves that the palace maid who was responsible for guarding the king of Zhaoyang was outside the courtyard and had a conflict with the murderer.
That is definitely not someone from the Liu family's faction, or even someone who makes the palace maid feel threatened.
In fact, the answer is already coming out, but Li Yunxing didn't understand what it had to do with the Huns.
At this time, the forbidden military captain Luo Zipao entered the palace to report.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhanjun, a commander of the Northwest Battalion, has arrived in the capital and is now waiting outside the palace, wanting to meet His Highness!"
This is Li Yunxing's dark chess, Zhanjun.
After the death of the general Wu Shumiao, Li Yunxing took Lian Zhan, Zhanjun and others to recover the military power of the Northwest Battalion.
But he is the crown prince after all, and if he puts the military power in his own hands, I am afraid that there will be a lot of gossip.
Li Yunxing was not in a hurry, but promoted Zhanjun to the rank of lieutenant of the first department, and competed with the remnants of the other five divisions for the position of general of the Northwest Battalion.
Now that he has been recalled to the capital by secret order, it is time for the reorganization of the Northwest Battalion.
After Li Yunxing heard the news, he immediately asked Luo Zipao to take everyone to greet him and bring him into the palace.
Compared to the last meeting, Zhan Jun has grown at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Not only is his demeanor more upright, but he is also a little more stable and decisive than when he was a teenager before.
Zhan Jun followed Luo Zipao into the imperial study and met Li Yunxing's deep and sharp eyes.
Li Yunxing was wearing a bright yellow embroidered gold python robe and brocade robe, wearing a golden crown and hosta, and sat on a high seat.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"Flat! Throne! Li Yunxing smiled.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Zhan Jun saluted respectfully before standing up.
"This king heard that you are in the northwest camp this time, and you can be regarded as making some famous halls?"
Zhan Jun didn't dare to take credit, and hurriedly said modestly, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, Hongfu Qitian!" The subordinates just won by luck, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not be overpraised! ”
Li Yunxing nodded, he actually promoted Zhanjun with two purposes.
Stalling for time and developing new people.
Originally, he didn't have any foundation in the court, so he could do very little.
However, he knew that since ancient times, emperors have needed a strong army to consolidate their country.
And Zhan Jun, as the descendant of the family of military generals, must have something extraordinary.
In addition, the northwest camp is the first place controlled by Li Yunxing, and if the power belonging to the crown prince is cultivated, it will be of great benefit to Li Yunxing to succeed to the throne in the future.
"This king heard that this time you are in the northwest camp to enforce military discipline, the captains of the second and third departments are now under your command, and the rest of the departments should be killed, and the expulsions should be expelled, it seems that there is indeed a set." Li Yunxing said approvingly.
"The subordinates are ashamed. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was leaving, he instructed the last general to firmly control the military power of the Northwest Battalion in his own hands, and he would never dare to forget his humble duties. ”
"Previously, although all the soldiers and horses of the Northwest Battalion were taken down by His Royal Highness the Prince, the soldiers and horses of the Northwest Department were still loyal to Wu Shumiao, and their subordinates were worried that they would have a change. Therefore, I used a counter-strategy, and the hearts of the five departments were scattered, and the last general also took this opportunity to gather the remnants of the five divisions, and now, the northwest battalion has been completely in my hands. ”
Li Yunxing nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this move is very good, this palace remembers that the Northwest Battalion is the cradle of elite soldiers and strong generals built by His Majesty the Martial Emperor himself, aiming to protect the subordinates." Now, you have been able to recover the Northwest Camp, and the palace is also very pleased. ”
Of course, Li Yunxing also knows that all this is inseparable from Zhan Jun's father, Uncle Zhan.
It's just that this time it can be seen from Zhanjun's conversation that Zhanjun is now in a stage of rapid growth.
I believe that in time, he can surpass Uncle Zhan and become a generation of brave and resourceful generals.
This is definitely a great help to Li Yunxing, who will inherit the throne in the future.
"This palace heard that this time you led the troops to capture a pass in the northwest camp, and now you are stationed in the pass, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, this is indeed the case. The name of the pass is Huwei Pass. Recently, the Xiongnu have made frequent changes, and the last general is afraid that something unexpected will happen, so he led his troops to stay here in case of emergency. ”
Li Yunxing bowed, "Hmm." In your opinion, why did the Xiongnu change so frequently recently? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive Weichen for speaking out." Zhan Jun arched his hand.
Li Yunxing raised his hand: "It's okay, but it's okay to talk about it." ”
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen feels that the Xiongnu are now moving frequently, and I am afraid that it has something to do with the fact that the Xiongnu wanted to marry Chu not long ago."
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Yunxing looked surprised.
According to the information found by the last general, the Xiongnu Shan Yu fell in love with the beauty of Xiang Yunyan, the princess of Chu State. proposed to make peace as a condition, hoping that the state of Chu would agree to let the princess of Chu marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu in exchange for the tranquility of the frontier. ”
Li Yunxing had never heard of Xiongnu Shan Yu having such intentions for Xiang Yunyan, but this Shan Yu was also stupid.
He thought he was the overlord of one side, and he relied on the strength of his troops, so he acted recklessly, and now he has annoyed the Chu State, and he wants to marry a princess.
Li Yunxing snorted coldly, "The Xiongnu alone is simply wishful thinking, the hatred between the Chu State and the Xiongnu has long been buried deep in the heart, how can it be dissolved because of harmony?" Sooner or later, these faint people will suffer retribution. ”
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that the King of the Huns already has a princess, and even if the princess of Chu agrees to make peace, she can only be a concubine in the past."
