Chapter 640: Sending troops to Tobu
If you say that it will be updated, it will be updated. Talk the talk!
The past month has been a difficult one for Tan Chai, and he has been under tremendous pressure.
For the people of Tobu, the past month has also been a time of sudden ups and downs, and the heart has gone up and down.
As long as anyone who knows the Twilight Blood Country, they all know one thing: Tobu is definitely not the opponent of Twilight Blood.
The difficulty of talking about chasing is not in the battle, but in the fact that he wants to lead the people who know about this matter to fight fiercely with the people of the Twilight Blood Country again and again, in order to block or even kill the other party. His difficulty, even more, is that many people know about it.
Everyone's confidence in Tobu has continued to pass after they have faced up with the Twilight Blood Country.
Outsiders, the key is that it's the same internally.
At the same time, for others, it is not just the past month that has been difficult, but several times longer, and the pain and suffering have been prolonged even more.
To put it carefully, from the moment the death of the Seventh Prince Cui Siju arrived at the twilight blood, countless people fell into an extremely difficult period.
talked about killing the future "dying king", and even thought that it would definitely bring great trouble to his father and mother, even war. But he definitely didn't expect that there would be many people in the Twilight Blood Country who would change their fate because of this.
Cui Siju died, and a series of variables were born.
If it weren't for the excitement of being defeated by Tan Weiran back then, Cui Siju would never suddenly get up, but would put his travels after he ascended the throne.
If he hadn't traveled, he wouldn't have gone to Baili Cave Mansion, if he hadn't been in Baili Cave Mansion, he wouldn't have been alone, if he hadn't been alone, he might not have died, and if he hadn't died this time, he would have finished his trip. There was no chance to kill him before he was talked.
On closer inspection, it turned out to be a series of coincidences. If Cui Siju knew that he had died by a series of coincidences, he would have vomited blood in anger.
The bloody situation in the past few months is too confusing, and it is absolutely appropriate to describe it as chaotic.
Many princes who were desperate for the throne suddenly saw hope. Anyone who feels that he has a chance. All of a sudden, trying to seize this "opportunity". In this way, when multiple princes come out like hounds, you can imagine how chaotic it is.
You must know that if it weren't for Cui Siju's sudden travel, he would have ascended the throne.
As long as you take this position, you can immediately ascend to the throne. This kind of temptation is something that those princes who ask themselves if they have not achieved anything in martial arts can never refuse.
The battle for the throne is just a small part of the chaos.
A greater source of chaos. It remains to be a dispute between eastward and northward expansion.
Those who support Cui Siju are not only the Dongjin faction, but also some royal forces.
The royal family didn't care much about the political differences between the eastward and northward advances, they cared more about other factors such as martial arts talent. Obviously, Cui Siju's martial arts talent and strength are the most outstanding among many princes, and his talents are obviously outstanding, so it is natural to win the support of some royal people.
It adds up to a lot of things. It is also enough to fall into a daze when it is critical.
When Cui Siju died. The Eastward Advance faction, which concentrated its forces on supporting him, was immediately leaderless, and could not even find a single supporter. It is not difficult to imagine that the situation of being in such a state of chaos that it almost lost its voice was overwhelmed by the powerful northward march in one fell swoop.
Most importantly, some of the royal forces supported Cui Siju personally. But it also indirectly supported the Eastward Movement. But with the death of Cui Siju, the bond between the two was broken, and the Dongjin faction, which had lost this part of the royal support, was completely overwhelmed by the Beijin faction when it was caught off guard.
That. The imperial court made the decision to keep Cui Siju's death a secret!
In a sense, it may not be what Cui Yanke meant.
The dead son, although it was the one the emperor didn't like very much, he was still a little sad and angry. It's just that the emperor is not brain-dead, and if he really wants to take revenge, he will inevitably embark on the road of war with Dongwu, which will completely satisfy the desire of the Dongjin faction.
This is the most influential and important decision in the Twilight Blood Country in half a year, and there is no one.
The death of an ordinary prince and the death of a crown prince are two absolutely different meanings.
Cui Siju's death could have been used to make a big fuss. But because of the slow response, the Eastward Advance faction missed. In fact, it is inevitable to miss out, because the eastward expansion faction concentrates on supporting a Cui Siju, who usually has an advantage, and falls into chaos when he falls into a group of dragons without a leader.
This decision lightly suppressed the Eastward Advance faction in one go.
The Eastward Advance faction paid a huge price for this inevitable missed opportunity. Wen Younan and the others are still fighting in Tobu to this day, and they are paying the price for this decision.
Wen Younan was the main strategist of the dying king in later generations, this king was not good at war, but he was extremely scheming, and the intrigues and intrigues were endless, which can be said to be exhaustive. If Tan Weiran is here, knowing that Wen Younan is presiding over this matter, he will definitely be ten times more careful.
In fact, it was Wen Younan and others who secretly did a lot of work, bribed the envoys sent to Tobu, and negotiated for two months. In the end, he put forward conditions that Tobu could not accept at all, prompting the complete failure of the negotiations, and using this as a reason, he promoted Tobu's "punishment".
Now the battle between Wen Younan and others against Dongwu is the famous "punishment" of the Twilight Blood National Division!
On the surface, it seems that Wen Younan and others are running around to avenge the old master, and they are secretly plotting. But it is no exaggeration to say that the Dusk Blood government and the opposition all know that this is a battle between the Eastward and Northward factions, and it will inevitably be bayonet!
Tobu is the second battlefield opened up by the Tojin faction!
This "punishment", as Wen Younan expected, although the northward faction vigorously prevented it, Emperor Cui Yanke unexpectedly supported the matter. It was his own flesh and blood who died, and there would not be sadness and anger.
For this reason, it is impossible to start a war with Tobu!
However, since Wen Younan and others are clamoring for blood debts and blood repayment, the news of Cui Siju's death is believed to have been leaked, causing a big wave in the government and the opposition, and the voice of advocating revenge or punishment is very strong.
It's better to let Wen Younan and them go to do a big job, just to pay for the blood debt!
Anyway, a small Tobu force has nothing to worry about until it is recognized by the local sect.
This was what Cui Yanke thought when he tried his best to defy public opinion and agreed to the "punishment" demand of the Eastward Advance faction. It's not that he can't see that this is the second battlefield of the Eastward Advance faction, and he is preparing to use the topic to play. Leads to the cause of the incident.
But if he doesn't leave office for a day, he will still be the emperor for a day!
In this country, even if he doesn't always have the final say, if he wants to stop something, he is absolutely not a problem.
No matter what the Easterners want to do. At the end of the day, there's only one way to turn it around: go to war!
This kind of thing is impossible without the nod of the emperor, the emperor.
Two months ago, Cui Yanke thought so. Just before a cup of tea, he still thought so.
After a cup of tea, when someone stood in front of Cui Yanke, he told him: "We support the succession of the three princes!"
And, add one more sentence: "Emperor." You have to prepare early. ”
Kneeling was his third son, Cui Siyuan, with a look of uneasiness and sincerity!
No one knows if it's true, or if it's trying to pretend, and Cui Yanke doesn't want to know.
There were two men and women standing and sitting on the side, one was the Void Breaker of the Twilight Blood Imperial Family, and the other was not, but they came on behalf of the other Void Breaker. One looks impatient, the other makes himself look more serious. A little more formal.
Cui Yanke stared at his son, who knelt down on one knee, and then looked at the two who left after speaking. The whole person's complexion rose red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Third brother, what do you want to do! What do you want to do!" He knew very well that the last reminder from the previous one was that the two old ancestors were warning him not to try to stay attached to this position.
Two mind-breakers. It is enough to represent the views and decisions of the royal family. If the emperor can't find a more suitable candidate, it will be difficult to object.
In fact, Cui Yanke couldn't find it.
The third prince said sincerely: "Father, in fact, the child also agrees with what Wen Younan said, the death of the seventh child. It should be paid with blood. ”
His attitude, his eyes, were absolutely sincere. But it can't hide the truth behind this sentence: the third prince changed his point of view and chose the eastward faction!
Cui Yanke finally knew that he was wrong!
To go to war, the emperor is needed, not him.
The emperor's roar was like a monstrous rage rolling back and forth in the main hall, like a thunderbolt, and it was terrifying.
The three princes knelt in front of the emperor, their faces full of trembling. But his eyes were unexpectedly brilliant, not reflecting fear and so on, but becoming more and more confident and determined!
The big thing has been decided!
............
When others were fighting fiercely on the front line of Dongwu, Wen Younan had quietly returned to the twilight blood to secretly preside.
At this moment, this innumerable strategist was in the restaurant with several people, whispering in a low voice. Gazing at the entrance of the palace gate, when I saw a carriage calmly driving out of the palace, the teacup I was holding almost forgot to put to my mouth, and my movements froze.
The carriage came out slowly, with obvious royal signs. When the carriage was in the middle of the road, a hand suddenly lifted the curtain, and the third prince showed his face and glanced outside, and lowered the curtain again. In a few moments, the carriage was gone.
"The general trend has been achieved!" Wen Younan's face bloomed with a smile, remembering that the revenge of the Seven Princes had not been avenged, he blinked his eyes and transformed into vicious and cold, and stood up with a teacup: "Everyone, replace wine with tea, let us wish the Third Prince an early ascension to the throne and smooth sailing!"
The rest of the people were the people of the third prince, and they looked at each other with a chill in their hearts, only to feel that the person in front of them was extremely terrifying, and raised the teacup and drank it all: "I also wish Mr. Wen all of you, a great revenge as soon as possible!"
"Please!"
From this day, after the third prince Cui Siyuan asked to see him like a self-recommendation, the Twilight Blood Emperor fell silent after being furious, and visited various important people of the imperial family for several days in a row, and summoned each prince one after another.
Ultimately disappointed!
The entire twilight blood generation of princes is completely shrouded in the light of Cui Siju, even if he is talented and capable, he can't reflect it in a hurry. For the time being, there is no other suitable candidate to fight for.
Seven days later, for the first time, the Emperor of Twilight Blood officially proposed the candidate of the third prince as the crown prince in the court.
And unexpectedly announced another big event: sending troops to Tobu! (To be continued......
