Chapter 223: Although Far Away, You Will Be Punished (Finale)
In Wen Yuli's opinion, everything is going in a good direction according to his expectations.
The return of the principal of Wen Chen's business had convinced him that his 20 million taels of silver would be doubled and doubled in the near future.
So, before his son could take the initiative to speak, the king of Zhennan urged Wen Chen to go to Shu to lead the twelve cities under the emperor's order.
After all, there are many dreams at night, and in the absence of Ning Peizhi, the sooner you recover Yizhou, you will be able to clear the hidden dangers and implement your own plan one day earlier!
On the other side, Princess Liyang and Lu Youzhi, the first sergeant under the command of King Zhennan, led a division of 300,000 tigers and wolves to the north.
The reason given to the army below and the people of the world is also that the three southeastern states voluntarily surrendered 300,000 troops in order to show their loyalty to the current saint.
But Wen Yuli's true purpose is only known to several high-level generals who went to Tianjing City with the army, but these people are now under Lu Youzhi's control!
This is the time of the autumn harvest.
I don't know where to start, but in the wheat fields all over Kyushu, crops are being overstocked and collapsed.
At first, they thought it was a wild beast in the field that had trampled the ears of wheat.
But this bizarre situation is not uncommon, and no matter how much the farmers try to prevent it, they can't catch the fleeing beast.
Until one day, a county magistrate in Yanzhou had a whim, standing on the hillside and looking at the wheat field under his command during the day, wanting to see what was spoiling the grain, this look didn't matter, almost made the old county magistrate who had been a county official for 30 years faint on the spot.
The trampled pavement in the wheat field is neatly composed of eight big characters:
The king of wood music is ordered by heaven!
The news leaked inadvertently, starting from Yanzhou, more and more farmers began to find this strange phenomenon, and the people had different opinions, and gradually spread the news of this matter!
"Commanded by heaven? It's time for a new dynasty......"
"Among the heirs of His Majesty Dasheng, there is only the name of Princess Liyang, who can be on the side of this King of Mule, did God choose a woman to be my emperor of Kyushu? It can't be......"
"What's impossible about this, the will of heaven is unpredictable, not only my Heguang County, I heard that seven or eight nearby counties have appeared God's instructions!"
β¦β¦
Tianjing City, the Imperial City Night Zhao Palace.
Prince Liu Mao looked at the letters coming from all over the country on the table, and frowned.
As the East Palace, he should have taken over the affairs of Dasheng during the period when Emperor Jingren was in a coma, and secretly controlled the Imperial Forest Army, compared to several other princes, Liu Mao was the most likely candidate to ascend the throne.
The various news that can come from Kyushu, except for the excerpts that report the disaster and ask for relief of silver grain, are mostly rumors that his imperial sister will be the next new king.
This made Liu Mao very uneasy.
It is a rule that women cannot rule the country in all dynasties, but the rules are no bigger than God!
What's more, the people all over Kyushu don't seem to be so repulsed by this matter, and even some storytellers in the market are even spreading that the empress will open a new chapter for the prosperity of Dasheng when she ascends the throne!
"Xiao Lizi, I heard that Liyang has returned to Beijing yesterday evening, where is she now?"
Liu Mao turned to look at the little eunuch beside him.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave listened to the small report below, after the princess returned to the imperial city, she went to the Ziyang Palace where His Majesty cultivated as soon as possible, and she has not yet come out."
The little eunuch whispered.
Liu Mao's pupils shrank when he heard this, it was broken!
This sister of mine really moved the idea of ascending the throne, and as soon as she returned to Beijing, she would find her father, didn't she just want to ask for an edict?
My father was already superstitious about the Mandate of Heaven, and if he knew about the bizarre events that had happened in Kyushu recently, Bao Buqi would really be confused for a while and pass on the throne to Liyang!
"No, I must not let my father wake up!"
Liu Mao's eyes were ruthless, he had waited for more than forty years, and finally waited for Emperor Jingren to grow old, and he must not let the great opportunity in front of him be ruined by a female streamer!
The little eunuch's body trembled, and he bowed slightly, "The slave will go and prepare......"
In order to hide people's eyes, the master and servant disguised themselves as palace officials and followed all the way to Ziyang Palace.
To Liu Mao's surprise, in the pepper room where Emperor Jingren was resting, there was no shadow of Liyang, only the old emperor had his back to his body, sleeping soundly.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Mao immediately pushed the door in, hurriedly found a wine glass, and added the crane top red brought by Xiao Lizi to it.
Facing Emperor Jingren, who was facing back to him with the curtain, Liu Mao gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Father, forgive your sons for being unfilial, your sons can't watch the great sheng rivers and mountains ruined in the hands of a female stream!"
After that, he stomped his feet ruthlessly, opened the curtain and was about to pour poisonous wine into Emperor Jingren's mouth!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are so bold!"
"Sure enough, as the princess expected, in order to compete for the throne, you dared to do something disobedient to the saint and secretly kill the king!"
There was a loud shout from the bed, and I saw the longbow of the commander of the Royal Forest Army get up violently, tear off the yellow silk on his body as a cover, and kicked the prince Liu Mao to the ground with a single kick!
In astonishment, Liu Mao reacted that this was a trick set by Liyang for himself, just to let him make dangerous moves and rashly embark on a dead end!
"Come on, put Liu Mao in prison!"
"No!"
Eight royal forest soldiers immediately broke in outside the door, and in a blink of an eye, the master and servant who had all the stolen goods were tied up.
"Let go of Hongu!"
"This palace wants to see Liyang! Let her come out and see me! β
Liu Mao's eyes were about to split, and he roared angrily.
"Humph!"
Longbow Wei snorted coldly, "Your Highness, don't be unhappy, the princess has received His Majesty's edict last night, and she will inherit the throne in the near future, how can she meet you and other criminal ministers?!" β
"How is that possible? No way! β
"My father is obviously unconscious, why can he issue an edict as soon as Liyang comes back?!"
"This edict must be fake, and this palace is not convinced!"
Longbow Wei sneered, "I've seen it with my own eyes, how can it be fake?" β
"Besides, Your Highness should worry about yourself first, it doesn't matter if other things are fake or not, your crime of plotting to usurp the throne and trying to kill the king must be true!"
"Come on, take it away!"
In the corner of the courtyard, Li Yang and Lu Youzhi looked at Liu Mao being taken away in the distance with indifferent eyes.
"Master Lu, this plan is wonderful!"
Liyang said with a smile, Lu Youzhi only used a slight trick, so he let his biggest competitor in Tianjing City kill himself, and was caught by the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, which can be regarded as a last resort!
Lu Youzhi smiled slightly, "The remaining princes, although a few of them are stronger, but they are not a problem, the princess has an edict in hand, and the Imperial Forest Army is helping to clean them up!" β
"The 300,000 troops brought by Lu can only cheer outside the city now, and make a strong voice for the princess, if you really want to fight, I'm afraid that those who take the lead will add to the chaos."
"Liyang understands!"
The girl bowed her head slightly, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, "Mr. Lu, how long can the silver needle on my father's head be managed?" β
Lu Youzhi took a deep breath, "Lu is not good at this, the matter of controlling people's minds with acupoints is only learned in the hands of His Royal Highness the Sea King, which can be used for emergencies, and it should be the limit to let His Majesty personally pass on the edict in front of everyone's eyes yesterday, Your Majesty is afraid that time is running ......out."
"Alas......"
Liyang sighed lightly, even today, thinking of all the things with his father in the past, he still sighed a little embarrassed.
But Wen Chen also said that every emperor throughout the ages has stepped on the corpses of people of the same clan to board the dragon chair, and they must not be merciful!
It's half a moon againβ
Under the purge of the Imperial Forest Army, Tianjing City successively sent three princes to the prison on different charges, and more than 18 princes were implicated and exiled to the frontier.
Wen Yuli waited and waited, did not wait for the silver two promised by Wen Chen, nor did he wait for the news that Lu Youzhi besieged Tianjing City.
What I was waiting for was a secret letter.
Emperor Jingren was infected with erysipelas, died in Tianjing City 20 days ago, Princess Liyang inherited the throne by the order of the first emperor, changed the country name to "Great Han", and changed the year name to "Unification"!
The 300,000 troops sent earlier were all incorporated into the Dasheng Orthodox military camp, and three cronies were assassinated.
Reading this, Wen Yuli squirted a mouthful of old blood on the table.
"Oh no, no!"
The bearded Wen Yue stumbled in from outside the Heavenly King's Palace.
"Father, the soldiers and horses sent by the sons to ask Wen Chen for silver taels were stopped by 30,000 gold-armored dragoons as soon as they left the city, and we were not allowed to go out!"
"Also, yesterday Han Chuang took Concubine Chen out to swim in the lake, and he hasn't returned yet, so he can't find them......"
"Golden Armor Dragoon? Silent people?! β
Wen Yu was dark in front of him, and at this moment, he finally understood that the game he had laid out for a lifetime turned out to be just a random chess piece on Wen Chen's chessboard!
There was a feeling of tightness in his chest, and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and slowly fell down in a pool of blood!
After this incident, the three southeastern states lost 300,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 20 million taels of silver, and there was no room for turning over.
Wen Yu died of depression in less than half a year, and without his support, the new military advisor Peng Chai had been tied up by the bankrupt generals under the command of the king of Zhennan, and the car was split and died.
Without Wen Yuli in control, the three southeastern states fell apart in a short period of time and fell into the civil strife of the two princes vying for power, and Wen Chen only used a small price to subdue them when they were both defeated.
Seven years laterβ
In a port near the sea in Qingzhou, dense steamships roared in unison.
On the coast, Wen Chen was dressed in armor and touched the head of the child in front of him, his eyes full of smiles.
"Jianguo, in the past two months that Daddy has been gone, you have to take good care of your three mothers with Jianjun!"
The child nodded as if he didn't understand, "Daddy, my Han territory is so big, why do you still want to sail a boat to conquer in person?" β
Wen Chen snorted and raised his eyes to look at the sea in the distance, as if he could penetrate the island hundreds of miles away at a glance.
"There are bad people over there, Daddy, this is called taking precautions, strike first, Daddy wants them to be the slaves of my Han for generations, and they will never be able to turn over!"
"Bad guys, are Dongying people bad?"
"Big bad!"
Wen Chen patted Wen Jianguo's head, got up and laughed, waved his arm, and ordered loudly.
"Set sail, let the little devils know and know, what is the person who offends my Han Tianwei, although it is far away, it will be punished!"
