Chapter 53: New Hatred and Old Hatred
Yue Zhen didn't get angry, just sighed and said to the red sleeves; "You should know the purpose for me to leave you, your task is not lighter than ours, and the crisis you face may be greater than ours."
Red Sleeves said firmly; "I know, but I'm still going up the mountain with you."
"This battle of Starling Mountain is a matter of life and death for my Martial Palace, every martial artist is a vital combat force, and it may affect the outcome of the entire battle, so we must not affect this battle because of anything else, anyone."
Yue Zhen also wanted to try to convince Red Sleeves, but Red Sleeves had already said categorically; "Young master, I don't need to make a move to kill Cao Huachun, the breeze and drizzle building has a perfect plan, I must fight side by side with you in Daxing Mountain!"
"What... Cao Huachun? The crowd was shocked, and then the crowd was indignant.
In particular, the two prison knives were already standing on end, and shouted angrily; "Cao Huachun, young master. But the old eunuch who coaxed the prince to take over the order to return to Beijing, the Cao Huachun who was cut by a thousand cuts. ”
Redsleeves nodded slowly; "It's this old thief."
The Prison Knife asked; "This dog thief is also in Red Flower Town?"
Red Sleeves said hatefully; "Here, Cao Huachun and all the elites of the second department of the boiling water room under his command are in Honghua Town."
In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Yue family army made countless enemies, and it can be said that there are enemies all over the world, but there is only one person who really makes the Yue family army hate it to the bone and hate the mortal enemy who can't eat its flesh and drink its blood, and that is Cao Huachun!
Cao Huachun, the second leader of the first spy organization of the Kaiyuan Dynasty!
Cao Huachun and Yue Jiajun have new hatreds and old hatreds that are not easy to come by!
King Yue Wu died tragically in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, although the culprits were Cai Xiang and Emperor Yun, but the real executioner was Cao Huachun.
At that time, King Yue Wu was making every effort to plan the battle of Yanmen Pass, and for this battle, King Yue Wu had been preparing for several years, and the strength of the Yue family army at that time had reached its peak. On the contrary, after several major battles, Beimang's combat power has been reduced to the lowest point, and in that battle, King Yue Wu was at least eighty percent sure that he would be able to hit Beimang in one fell swoop and take back Emperor Jing.
While completely solving the border troubles of Beimang, it can also wash away the earth-shattering national shame of Emperor Jing's last Yanmen Pass fiasco.
But at the last moment, Emperor Yun issued thirteen gold medals in a row, wanting to recall King Yue Wu.
Why Emperor Yun did this, King Yue Wu knew it clearly in his heart.
First, he was afraid that he would take back the captured Emperor Jing and impact his imperial power.
The second is that he is afraid that he will establish himself as king after destroying Beimang.
This is the worry of the Cloud Emperor!
In fact, Emperor Yun's worries are superfluous at all, although King Yue Wu is powerful, but he is the loyal and patriotic monarch of Tianzi No. 1, everything he does is for the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he never thought of supporting the army and self-respect, let alone establishing himself as a king.
He didn't even think of supporting Emperor Jing against Emperor Yun, the reason why he had to take back Emperor Jing was because the fiasco at Yanmen Pass was a shame for all the people, and welcoming back Emperor Jing was of special significance to the entire Kaiyuan Dynasty, and he represented a complete wash away the national shame of the year.
Although King Yue Wu didn't have those ideas, it was a pity that Emperor Yun didn't believe it.
For the emperor, he needs to control the world, and he must stifle an unfavorable factor in advance, and in the eyes of Emperor Yun, King Yue Wu at this time is already an unfavorable factor, so no matter how loyal King Yue Wu is, Emperor Yun will not believe it.
Emperor Yun issued thirteen gold medals in a row and ordered King Yue Wu to return to Beijing, which is the reason.
The first twelve gold medals were all rejected by King Yue Wu on the grounds that the generals were not subject to military orders abroad, but the thirteenth gold medal finally persuaded King Yue Wu.
The thirteenth gold medal herald is Cao Huachun!
Cao Huachun, a little eunuch who was still a lonely and unknown back then.
With a clever tongue, he used three points to persuade King Yue Wu to return to Beijing.
The first friendship between kings and ministers.
As soon as Cao Huachun saw King Yue Wu, he talked about the friendship between King Yue Wu and Emperor Yun.
Do King Yue Wu and Emperor Yun have a friendship between kings and ministers?
Yes, not only that, but it was once very deep!
Emperor Jing Yanmen Pass was defeated, the Kaiyuan Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, although Emperor Yun made great efforts, but because hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers died tragically outside Yanmen Pass, the Kaiyuan Dynasty's combat power was seriously empty, until King Yuewu suddenly rose up, led 800 Kwantung veterans to fight in the south and the north, and gradually became the optimus jade pillar of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
At that time, King Yue Wu was Emperor Yun's first confidant, and that period was also the honeymoon period for the monarch and the minister.
There have been countless times when the two monarchs and ministers have talked about wine and talked about everything, and the two have even been called brothers, which is also the origin of King Yuewu, a king with a different surname.
In front of King Yue Wu, Emperor Yun did not hide his ambitions, a proper generation of master style, and King Yue Wu was deeply impressed by Emperor Yun at that time and became the first loyal under Emperor Yun.
But with the passage of time, with the gradual improvement of the situation in Kaiyuan, Emperor Yun's imperial skills became more and more proficient, and a group of powerful ministers led by Cai Xiang felt the crisis of falling out of favor, and after starting to gossip, Emperor Yun gradually alienated himself from the former first favorite minister.
King Yue Wu also felt this estrangement, but he didn't take it too seriously, there was a difference between monarchs and ministers, and it was not easy for Emperor Yun, of course, he did this to balance the various factions in the court, so as to better control the court.
Although Emperor Yun gradually alienated King Yue Wu, he still wisely fully supported King Yue Wu in terms of logistics and military salaries, which further strengthened King Yue Wu's loyalty to Emperor Yun.
In the later stage, although King Yue Wu knew very well that Emperor Yun no longer trusted him and had begun to suspect and guard against him, he was still extremely loyal to Emperor Yun.
Refusing Emperor Yun's golden medal twelve times in a row had already made King Yue Wu feel very guilty in his heart.
When Cao Huachun met Queen Yue Wu in person, he didn't mention any other nonsense, but just told Yue Wu Wang how Emperor Yun missed him and how he hoped to talk to him face to face.
Cao Huachun's words, although he did not say that King Wu of Yue took the order to return to Beijing, the friendship between the monarch and the minister in his heart became more and more intense.
The second point is to be reasonable with facts.
Cao Huachun was not as secretive as others, and frankly admitted that the reason why Emperor Yun was in a hurry to recall King Yue Wu was that he was worried that King Yue Wu would take back Emperor Jing and cause turmoil in the court; Second, he was worried that King Yue Wu would be instigated to establish himself as king.
Everyone knew that these two points were Emperor Yun's biggest suspicion of King Yue Wu, but everyone would not say it bluntly in front of the two, because the sore spots of the monarch and ministers could not be touched by outsiders.
But Cao Huachun said it so generously and unabashedly, Yue Wu Wang was born in a martial arts, his temperament was upright, he didn't like to twist and turn, and his favorite thing was to go straight, Cao Huachun's bluntness was to his appetite.
King Yue Wu admitted that he had no such intention, and Cao Huachun sighed faintly; Therefore, the prince should go back to Beijing and tell the emperor in person!
This sentence made King Yue Wu's heart, which was already shaken by the friendship between the monarch and the minister, hesitate again, and Cao Huachun's next two sentences made King Yue Wu almost return to Beijing directly.
"King Wu is full of talents, and the Yue family army is even more famous in the world, King Wu only needs to arrange it properly, whether you are there or not, it should be okay in the overall situation!"
"If King Wu insists on not returning, let me ask His Highness how to deal with himself after the victory of Yanmen Pass!"
The first sentence means that as long as you arrange everything and you are not on the front line, you will still win the battle, and you don't need to worry about it at all.
The meaning of the second sentence is that you insist on resisting the decree, and after the victory of Yanmen Pass, there will be no room for relaxation for the monarch and ministers.
These two sentences poked at Yue Wu's weakness, and the loyal and righteous King Yue Wu pondered for a long time, and his heart was already eight or nine points of intention, and at this time, the cunning Cao Huachun burned the third fire.
The third point; Threat!
Of course, it is a vague threat, Cao Huachun bluntly said that the eldest prince Yue Zhen lives in the capital, if His Royal Highness insists on resisting the order, will he not push the eldest prince into the fire kang.
This sentence directly made Yue Wu break the defense!
After pondering for a long time, King Wu Yue finally decided to take the order and return to Beijing, and show his loyalty to Emperor Yun with his actions!
After arranging all the major events among the generals, King Yue Wu ignored the opposition of the generals under his command, and only took the King of Power and the Fire God Monarch to follow Cao Huachun back to Luoyang and Kyoto.
What King Yue Wu never expected was that as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Cao Huachun immediately turned his face, first used a trick to win the two great powers of the Great King and the Fire God Monarch, and then used poisonous wine to dissolve King Yue Wu's lifelong cultivation and imprisoned him in a secret prison.
Until this time, King Yue Wu had no regrets, he still believed that as long as he could meet Emperor Yun face-to-face, the two monarchs and ministers would definitely eliminate the misunderstanding.
King Yue Wu did not wait for Emperor Yun, he saw Cao Huachun again, at this time Cao Huachun was no longer humble in the past, but brought a shocking news with arrogance.
In the first battle of Yanmen Pass, the Yue family army was defeated again like Emperor Jing decades ago!
Mrs. Wuwang committed suicide after a beautiful drum at the head of Yanmen Pass, and died tragically under the city!
All the generals under his command died in battle!
All 300,000 Yuejia troops were killed in battle!
King Yue Wu was extremely furious, he couldn't believe that he had been planning for ten years, and he was sure that the already foolproof battle situation could be lost so miserably.
Cao Huachun did not shy away from telling King Yue Wu that he had sent a secret decree to Wen Yinhou of Yanmen Pass, asking him to reveal the battle plan of Yue's army to Beimang.
King Yue Wu stared at the giants, how could he not believe that there were such traitors in the world who disregarded the feud of his family and country!
The remorseful King Yue Wu was beheaded in the Wind and Rain Pavilion by Emperor Yun on trumped-up charges the next day.
Although King Yue Wu's death was burdened by the word loyalty and righteousness in his heart, and the culprit was also Emperor Yun, who was high in the sky, Cao Huachun, who was clever and eloquent, was the executioner who directly killed King Yue Wu.
This is the old hatred.
After talking about old hatred, let's talk about new hatred.
King Yue Wu died tragically in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, and Cao Huachun, a little eunuch who was originally a lonely and nameless eunuch, suddenly became a big celebrity around Emperor Yun, and later directly became the second head of the boiling water room, the largest spy organization in the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
Cao Huachun was saddled with the souls of 300,000 Yue family troops, including King Yue Wu, in this way!
After Cao Huachun ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to closely monitor the Wuwang Mansion, he knew very well that he and the Wuwang Mansion were already mortal enemies, so he wanted to seize every opportunity to completely eradicate the remnants of the Wuwang Mansion!
It's a pity that for more than ten years, the Wuwang Mansion has been in obscurity, and Yue Zhen is even more disguised, so that Cao Huachun has no way to start.
So Cao Huachun, who was like a mad dog, turned his attention to other parties in the court.
And this year, a big event happened in Confucianism.
The martial arts of Confucianism announced in a high-profile manner that Song Mingzhu, a student of the Tianxia Academy, was a contemporary saint!
Martial Saintess!
Representing the future warrior leader!
Confucianism was originally one of the hundred schools of thought in ancient times, the core idea is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety eight characters mantra, his founder is Confucius, carry forward is Mencius, so Confucianism is also called Confucius and Mencius, in order to maintain their autocratic rule, the monarchs of the dynasties are sparing no effort to promote Confucianism, so that Confucianism is endless, prosperous to the extreme.
Confucianism is a school of doctrine that gave rise to Confucianism and Confucianism because of its prosperity!
Confucianism is a class, representing the disseminator of Confucianism!
Confucianism is a belief that represents a staunch defender of Confucianism!!
And Wu Ru is the defender of Confucianism, which shows the status of Wu Confucianism in Confucianism and even the entire court, Wu Confucian saint is no less than the prince of a country in terms of status, so the appearance of Wu Confucian saint is naturally a major event that shakes the world.
This incident made Cao Huachun shift his gaze from the Martial King's Mansion to the Martial Confucian Holy Maiden!
