11. The king returns to the capital
The army of the Cuizhu Kingdom was used by the resourceful Prime Minister Miao Cheng in a desperate situation to save the kingdom army with little effort, and let the enemy coalition army suffer a crushing defeat, the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom turned defeat into victory in this crucial battle of the river valley, temporarily reversing the decline, and the two coalition forces led by the scholar king fled into the valley city in a hurry, closed the city gate, recuperated and rectified, and did not prepare for the battle in a short time. In order to seize the favorable time to gain the strategic advantage of the battle of the river valley, Prime Minister Miao and the Queen Mother led the kingdom's army to pursue the victory and stationed the army outside the valley city. Wait for the opportunity to prepare to break through the enemy coalition led by the scholar king once again and eliminate the trouble. Let your territory achieve long-term peace and stability.
Besides, since the prince was successfully rebelled by the lobbyist Jun Song appointed by the scholar king, in order to stabilize the king's throne, the prince almost left no room for maneuver and led his cronies to the river valley, preparing to work with the scholar king's coalition army to bring his nephew to the death of the young king, but as everyone knows, it was skillfully resolved by Prime Minister Miao Wen, and the prince finally died without a burial. At this moment, Prime Minister Miao Wen knew that the capital of the kingdom was currently in a state of disarray, and the officials of the imperial court and the people of Li had been deceived by the prince earlier, spreading rumors that the young king and the queen mother had been defeated in the river valley, and they had died tragically on the battlefield. Prime Minister Miao Cheng felt that under the current situation of making a great military breakthrough, it was necessary to stabilize the imperial court and stabilize the vital basic plate of the royal government. To achieve this goal, the young king must seize the current favorable opportunity to rush back to the court as soon as possible and control the overall situation in the Cuizhu Kingdom. It is well known that the young king is still only a newborn calf, and cannot have the wisdom to successfully turn the complicated situation around and take all the odds into his own hands at the critical moment. Prime Minister Miao Cheng and the Queen Mother discussed, the war in the valley was left by Prime Minister Miao Cheng, assisted by Guan Xiong and other generals, and the Queen Mother accompanied the young king by General Lei Hong led thousands of elite soldiers of the kingdom to rush back to the court through the main road of Zizhu Valley, and made it clear to the people of the kingdom that your king is still alive, and the army of the kingdom was not completely wiped out in the war in the river valley. The prince is a traitor who wants to bury the royal government.
Without further ado, under the arrangement of Prime Minister Miao Wen, General Lei Hong led the army to protect the king and the queen mother, and went straight down the Zizhu Valley to Yecheng, the capital of the royal government. The Queen Mother is well aware of the possible variables and sinister developments of events. With the Prince's usual strangeness and cunning, the Queen Mother knew that he would not rush to the valley and kill them. In the imperial court, the prince must have made some arrangements that were not favorable to them. Therefore, when the Hui army was about to leave the valley and enter the capital, the queen mother ordered the army to be stationed in a hidden area for the time being. In order to obtain an accurate grasp of the situation of the imperial court, the queen mother arranged for General Lei Hong to lead a few elite soldiers in disguise and disguise to quietly enter the capital at dusk when only Hui was left, so as to explore the true situation of the imperial court.
General Lei Hong and his entourage pretended to be mountain people who had entered the city to visit their relatives, and passed through the layers of checks at the gate of Yecheng relatively smoothly and entered Yecheng. At this time, Ye Cheng in the end of the year, it seems to be particularly decadent, the falling frost leaves are sprinkled on the avenue of the capital, the people of the capital who are in a hurry to come and go, their faces are full of confusion, the whole capital does not show a trace of vitality, and occasionally there are crows that add to the sad atmosphere hovering and wailing in the sky above Ye Cheng.
General Lei Hong and his entourage found an inn on Wushi Street near the imperial court of the kingdom and settled down. This is a medium-sized inn, the street gate of the inn hangs the signboard of "Fuyun Inn", the store is a young woman in her thirties, the shop is dressed up in a fancy way, the powder ester coats the face, how to look, you know that this store is a person in the dust, the store seems to have no man, the young handsome guy who lives in the store is called particularly affectionate, a mouthful of "little brother", people can't help but feel numb. In order to gain control of the capital's information, General Lei Hong seized every opportunity he could to always be close to this young woman's shopkeeper, or it may be that this young woman has been fascinated by the handsome, majestic, and talented General Lei since General Lei entered the store, and the young woman is always looking for every opportunity to cater to the hints given to him by General Lei, and from time to time he sends a few wisps of autumn waves to General Lei, and General Lei seizes the opportunity to give her a few eyes that can be hit off at a moment's notice.
General Lei took the lead in entering Yecheng, on the orders of the Empress Dowager, to understand the current situation in the imperial court. General Lei felt that this pretty young woman who could make people lose her soul and run an inn in a nearby imperial court would definitely come into contact with those important members of the imperial court who would inevitably go to look for flowers and willows, this woman did not need to doubt much, she must have a certain understanding of the current trends of the imperial court. Besides, even if General Lei caters to and hooks up with those passionate young women on that Fengyue Field, it will not ruin his own reputation in the kingdom, because everyone knows that General Lei is on the battlefield, just because of the blow under the crotch given to him by the King of Beasts, General Lei, who is in the prime of life, can not do such a thing at all. This time, General Lei was close to this pretty young woman of the shop, and the entourage couldn't help but admire the general again from the bottom of their hearts for the sake of the kingdom, and he did not hesitate to damage the dignity of a man to go to the soup. Because they feel that if General Lei, in order to achieve his own goals, provokes the beautiful young woman of the shopkeeper who seems to be in a state of hunger all the time, and it really comes to pass, and when he wants to enter the life and death of your soul and happiness, General Lei will try to be poor, lose his majesty, and be defeated.
After a long period of battlefield battles, General Lei didn't pay attention to what kind of state he was in as a man. In fact, many people don't know that everything is developing and changing, for example, a woman who has not given birth for many years and has been looked down upon by others will inadvertently win the bid when the time is just right, wake up the function of sleeping for a long time, and give birth to a few fat boys in a row for the man who has worked hard to build him. It was just after General Ray was injured and the doctors declared him functional. For a period of time, when General Lei was completely dead and did not take this seriously, General Lei's function was given a rare opportunity to recover and recuperate in rest. No one knows, only General Lei himself knows, this time he entered this inn, just because it made the young woman of the shop, gave General Lei an extra surprise, he found that he suddenly recovered in some aspects, and the feeling was particularly strong. General Lei felt that this opportunity could not be missed, and embracing this woman could be said to kill two birds with one stone, so why not.
The young lady of this shop was really well-intentioned, and she arranged the room where General Lei rested next door to her own room. After the store closed, General Lei entered his guest room one step later than any other guest, and when he was about to close the door of the guest room, General Lei gave the store a strange look, and then closed the door and sat in the guest room. The shopkeeper did not hide his surprise, and even couldn't wait to turn off all the lights in the inn that would expose their deeds, without any worries, the shopkeeper pushed open the door of General Lei's guest room, and then closed the door of General Lei's guest room tightly, and before he could finish a sentence, the lights in General Lei's room were extinguished.
This night, General Lei was very successful and had a great time! The effect of killing two birds with one stone was also achieved, and after obtaining General Lei's satisfactory return, this woman snuggled in General Lei's arms affectionately, and told everything she knew about the current situation in the court of the Cuizhu Kingdom, as long as General Lei wanted to know, she told General Lei one by one, and even this woman told General Lei that which shameless officials in the court had taken advantage of her several times at those times. What a wretched woman!
It turned out that the prince had made proper arrangements for the imperial court before supporting the Xuantan River Valley after the rebellion, and the prince arranged for his brother-in-law to handle all daily affairs in the imperial court on his behalf. The prince's wife and uncle are well aware of the severity of the struggle of the imperial court, and if a certain variable occurs, the slightest carelessness will cause a catastrophe, so entrusted by the prince to take care of the current imperial court, the only thing to do is to suppress the king's living forces, and before the prince is in the valley, the interference of any force in the current situation must be prevented.
After learning about the current situation in the imperial court, General Lei Hong led his entourage out of the city the next morning to the place where the queen mother and the king were settled, and General Lei reported the situation to the queen mother who had entered the city, and the queen mother felt that they really could not enter the court rashly, and the only way was to let the officials and people of the capital know that the prince had taken the throne by abandoning the interests of the country by improper means, and the prince had been killed by the royal army, so that the king could reach the capital smoothly and deal with state affairs without any incident.
The scheming Prime Minister Miao Cheng knew the complexity of the king's return to the capital, and before the queen mother and the king returned to the capital, Prime Minister Miao Cheng explained that he must bring the prince's head and find the opportunity to show his subjects. After careful consideration, the Queen Mother decided that General Lei Hong would take the head of the prince and enter the capital again, looking for an opportunity to show the head of the prince to the dignitaries of the court, and inform everyone of the prince's sinister behavior.
Without further ado, if the king does not enter the court earlier, there is a risk that unpredictable events will arise. General Lei once again took the prince's head, hid it in his bag, entered Yecheng with his entourage, and stayed in the Fuyun Inn again. When the prince's wife and uncle organized the court officials to discuss the meeting, General Lei broke through the defenses outside the court, broke into the main hall, showed the prince's head in front of the officials, and explained the prince's actions in detail to the court officials who were kept in the dark. The members of the court, who were loyal to the royal government, were immediately filled with anger, and the prince's wife and uncle were immediately tied up by the ministers.
All the dignitaries of the court then went out of the city gate and knelt down to welcome the king and queen mother into the court. All the prince's family members and cronies were pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded for public display.
