Chapter 117: The World is Shocked
There is no impermeable wall in the world, even if the place where the incident occurred is close to the border area of Taiwu, but the incident in Balitun still spread to Chang'an City in just a few days, and after hearing about it, the entire Daming Palace has changed its taste, and it seems that even the cold air can smell the scorching breath, but fortunately, Song Yin, the king of Huainan, is witty enough, and after realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately threw all the crimes on one person in the Tang Dynasty and let him come to the backpack.
However, the behavior of the second prince Song Yin can only play a role in avoiding the people of the world, and it is impossible to really hide the truth of the matter, but there is no real evidence, even if some smart people can probably figure out what is going on in their hearts, but no one really dares to say it!
However, after hearing that Chen Xikang was ambushed by a 3,000-strong army in Balitun and was taken away by Lao Jin, who was injured after losing half his life, Chen Wanqing in the Taixue Palace set off to return to the west on the same day, and after the abdication, the former emperor Song Kaiyang, who often stayed in Changle Palace, just sat in Changle Palace for a day without saying a word after hearing about the incident.
In the Chengtian Hall of Daming Palace, there were only two people at this time, Song Heng and Taiwei Lu Wei, and the purpose of Taiwei was to report the reaction of Taiwu and Tanglin after the incident.
"There was no movement in Tanglin, it was still the same as before, but the three generals in the west all headed towards Muping after the incident, but they only carried a few hundred people. ”
As he spoke, the Tai Lieutenant's face was calm as usual, as if he was not at all worried about what happened in Balitun, and gave people the feeling that he was ready to meet all the consequences, especially confident.
"The second brother dragged the Tang Dynasty as a scapegoat, so that you and I will not be confessed, it is a smart move, but such a move can only blind the eyes of some stupid people, and many people know in their hearts that I gave the order to ambush Chen Xikang, but these smart people deliberately pretend to be confused, because they are afraid of me. ”
"However, this does not include the people of the Western Regions and the Tanglin, so it is better for the Taiwei to be careful. I will leave for Tianxing City later, and some affairs in the palace will be handed over to the Taiwei and the prime minister for the time being, if everything is safe, it is best, if there is a rebellion in the west or Tanglin, don't act rashly, just denounce it. ”
Like Taiwei, Song Heng still said calmly, as if he didn't feel any regret for what he had done, as if he was ready to meet the stormy mountains and rivers.
In fact, when he started, Song Heng had already prepared the consequences to be met by killing Chen Xikang, that is, the worst plan for the anger of the founding prince and the entire western region, but what he didn't expect was that Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng were absent from the battle of Balitun because of Chen Xikang's plan, so that Chen Xikang was able to escape.
And now that Chen Xikang is not dead, and there is no real evidence to indicate that it was his own order, even if the people in the west are like a mirror, it is useless, unless the west openly rebels!
Hearing that the Han in front of him wanted to work with the prime minister by himself, the Taiwei, who had a calm face, finally frowned slightly.
However, although there was reluctance on his face, the captain still did not say it.
Prime Minister Li Rui has always had only one purpose, to protect the peace of the people in the world and protect the people of the world from the smoke of war, so he has never had a firm position, but even if he knows this, the Han Emperor still uses it very much.
And with such a prime minister, the captain who wants to make a big man for a strong man will always feel restricted.
Under the flames of war, how can there be immortals, but in order to let more people live, in order to keep more people from falling into misery, Prime Minister Li Rui will make all kinds of incomprehensible strategies.
Thinking of the means possessed by the prime minister in the big red robe, the captain also had a headache, although he did not master a soldier, but it was like having thousands of troops and horses, and he could always hold the world in the world, which made people have to be afraid!
"It's winter now, although something like that happened in Huainan, but the king of Huainan was witty and decisive, and handled it very well, I think that Emperor Han didn't have the need to run again in person, if it was to show the west, it would be even more unnecessary. ”
Thoughts withdrew from the prime minister's body, and the captain said lightly, in the final analysis, he is just a captain who controls the military power, if something really happens, he has to listen to the prime minister, but the prime minister obviously has a lot of different ways of holding government and treating the people from the Han emperor, and he will not let himself go to war at will.
"Taiwei, do you think my second brother suppressed everything that happened in Balitun?"
Emperor Han opened his mouth meaningfully, and a meaningful smile also appeared on his face.
"King Huainan is the younger brother of Emperor Han and a minister of the strong Han, so he should think about the interests of the strong Han in both feelings and reason. ”
"Hahaha, Taiwei, you don't know my second brother too well, the reason why he took action to cover everything down is because Chen Xikang is not dead, and because I am his brother, but definitely not because he is a courtier of a strong man. ”
"In the eyes of my second brother, he and I are brothers, and Chen Xikang is also brothers with him, but now that I want to fight with Chen Xikang, he chooses not to help anyone, and chooses to turn a blind eye, but if either of me and Chen Xikang's life is in danger, he will definitely not continue to sit on the wall. ”
"According to Emperor Han, the reason why the King of Huainan automatically invited Ying to go to places like Huainan was to avoid the collision with the west?"
"That's right, when you go to a remote place like Huainan, the second brother naturally doesn't have to deal with Xichen, just focus on Taiwu, so that the second brother will not be embarrassed by Chen Xikang, nor will he feel guilty about me, this is my second brother, the second brother who has always acted according to his own will, and because of this, the original prime minister wanted to support the second brother so much. ”
Hearing Song Heng's words, Taiwei didn't speak again.
Indeed, when the first emperor did not establish a prince, the second prince Song Yin showed enough amazing talent, and he really wanted to compete for the throne, but after the final failure, he reined in his sharpness, and after going to Huainan, he quietly became his own king of Huainan.
"My second brother and I are brothers, but I almost killed Chen Xikang, and the second brother must be dissatisfied in his heart, so I have to go to the second brother to talk to him, and it's almost the New Year, I will take my younger brother and sister back for a peaceful New Year by the way. ”
Hearing that there was a peaceful year, the captain just said goodbye and left thoughtfully.
If it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will stand after it is broken. The current strong man is sick, and if he wants to continue to be strong, he must break the current pattern, even if he makes the world fall into fire and water again, he has no hesitation!
The dignified prince of the western region, when he traveled to Huainan County, was ambushed by a full 3,000 rebels in a small village, after such a thing came out, not only caused an uproar in the land of the strong man, but also the Taiwu Dynasty, and many people were moved, and after the shock, everyone put their eyes on the western region, wanting to see the reaction of the founding father.
As we all know, although the prince of the West is the son of the founding father, he is deeply favored by the founding father, and the relationship with the generals in the west is also extremely close, and now he has lost half his life in the strong man, and the previous dynasty will not deal with Chang'an, everyone feels that things will not be as simple as they seem.
People with hearts are staring at the west, and they also know that all the big people in the west have gathered in Muping City, but at this moment, no one dares to send anyone to Muping to inquire about the news.
The current Founding Fathers must be furious, and no one wants to be the one who will be shot at this time.
When Emperor Song Heng of the Han Dynasty set off for the distant Huainan, in Muping Chen's mansion, the house with a burning fire was full of people, the founding prince, a group of generals, Chen Wanqing who rushed back from Chang'an, and Huo Ming and Qin Kunbo, who came to the mansion to spend the winter, and everyone at this time had only gloomy and fierce faces!
"Girl, you don't have to worry so much, that kid from Xikang can't do anything else, that is, his life is strong, his life is hard, and he can't die. Moreover, that kid's cultivation has also broken through to the Lifting of the Underworld, and he has learned the sword from the Old Sword Saint, and he has also learned the art of the Great Zhou Tian with the Tongtian Daoist, and he has great ability!"
"Also, isn't there an old gold by his side? The ambush of a full 3,000 people, Lao Jin can fight his way out of the encirclement alone, and he will be fine if he goes to Taiwu. ”
The first to open his mouth to break the silence was the founding father, but what he said was all words of comfort to Chen Wanqing.
Although the founding prince was also extremely worried in his heart, but he knew his daughter's character and was afraid that she would lose her cool and do some crazy things, the founding prince still took Chen Wanqing first.
"Dad, Xikang's whereabouts are unknown now, and according to the information I received, although Lao Jin escaped with Xikang, he also suffered minor injuries, and Taiwu was already eyeing him, how could he be quiet when he knew that such an incident had happened?"
"Song Heng is already so unscrupulous, treating us as nothing, I think there is no need to endure it anymore!"
Chen Wanqing's words were shocking, but no one around showed any surprised expressions because of this, obviously the people around him agreed with what he said.
However, everyone agreed with Chen Wanqing's decision, but no one spoke up to support it.
When Chen Xikang left the western region, he told the generals that no matter what happened during his absence, he would wait for him to come back and set up his own door.
"Wanqing, we know that you are worried about Xikang in your heart, and you are also angry about Song Heng's arrogant behavior, but Xikang told us many times when he left, we must wait until he comes back before moving, you know Xikang's character, and Mr. Guo's precautions, he has also learned eight or nine, since he said so, there must be some intention in it. ”
knew that the founding prince doted on Chen Wanqing, and also knew that Ping'an, Lu Donkey and others had always followed Chen Wanqing, and it was a little difficult to speak to him at this time, so the general Pei Xingjian said what everyone thought in their hearts.
Although everyone knows in their hearts that Chen Wanqing is the adopted child, everyone treats him equally, and they also love and spoil him very much, and among them, except for the founding father, he is a general, and what Chen Wanqing said at this time is easier for Chen Wanqing to listen to.
Everyone first persuaded Chen Wanqing, pacified him, and then considered it in the long run, and finally decided to let Qin Kunbo go to Taiwu quietly alone, and on the other hand, let the shadow cabinet and Chen Ping'an's subordinates do their best to find Chen Xikang's whereabouts.
It is not a secret that Chen Xikang was ambushed and fled after losing half of his life, after a few days, the entire people in the West knew about it, and the people in the entire West were full of righteous indignation, but the people who were worried were not only the people in the West.
After the Dragon and Tiger Ceremony, Changyan Yaoyue, who returned directly to Jiangnan from Longhu Mountain, left home for a few days, and after hearing about Chen Xikang's matter, she hurriedly returned to Luocheng in Jiangnan from the Favored Green Temple, wanting to ask her father and brother for more detailed information.
And under the anger, there is another person who has a crazy idea similar to Chen Wanqing in his heart, and that is Huang Huai, who has won Xia Chunqiu's trust!
In the Tanglin Xia Mansion, Huang Huai, who had been collecting information outside, returned to the mansion after receiving the news, and was standing behind Xia Chunqiu with a calm face at this time.
"Huang Huai, you are really loyal enough to Chen Xikang, if I can have a loyal person like you, I am afraid that I can wake up with a smile in my dreams. ”
"I know the anger in your heart, and I also know that you didn't make such a request just because of anger, now to move Yanjing, the timing is good, but it's almost the Spring Festival, after this peaceful year, I will follow you as many Song Heng's army as you want!"
After hearing that Chen Xikang had an accident, the indignant Huang Huai came back and proposed to lead 30,000 troops and cross the Huai River to attack Yanjing, but Xia Chunqiu refused.
Now to attack Yanjing, Huang Huai has the idea of changing Song Heng's color, of course, because now is the most appropriate time to send troops.
Yanjing is no different from Tanglin, and Jiangnan is no different from the west, if you want to start an incident in summer and spring, you must first take Yanjing City, otherwise sooner or later you will end up with a turtle caught in the urn, and outside Yanjing is the Huai River, a natural protective fortress, spring floods and summer waterlogging, it is difficult to cross the river, but now in winter, the Huai River is the time when the water potential is the smallest.
Seeing that King Xia rejected him, Huang Huai didn't say anything more, the so-called settlement after the autumn, but now that the cold winter has arrived, then he will wait for the spring breeze next year!
And when everyone tried their best to find Chen Xikang's whereabouts, in Balitun, which had been destroyed by the battle before, a slender figure appeared silently, and the smile that had been squinting slightly was only a fierce murderous aura in the eyes of the comer!
The senior brother who disappeared alone from Longhu Mountain also came to Huainan, and planned to go towards Taiwu.
