Section 15 The Wind Rises
The Shence Army is so important, so the eunuchs in charge of the military power only dare to use this army and horses to fight for power and profit, and dare not use it lightly, just like when the God Emperor first ascended the throne, he wantonly reduced the Kwantung Domain, causing the Seven Roads Domain to rebel, and each claimed to be the king, and even the Jingyuan and Fengxiang Jiedu envoys on the edge of Baiyujing followed the rebellion. In a fit of rage, the God Emperor prepared to send his army to fight a big battle with the various feudal towns.
Lu Zhen, who was still a bachelor of Hanlin at the time, advised the emperor to issue an edict, and he directly said, "Your Majesty only has this one belongings, and you can't move lightly." Once things are urgent, the Son of Heaven in the domain doesn't know if his surname is Li?"
As a result, the God Emperor stubbornly stood up for another year, and found that he really didn't have a job to take those masters, so he had to issue an edict against himself, scolding himself for "growing up in the deep palace and not knowing the affairs of the country." It is easy to drown in habits, and forget about danger in peace. I don't know the hardships of the crops, and I don't know the toil of the conquest. "Heaven is damned, and I don't understand. People complain about it, but I don't know. He scolded himself very much, and praised those rebellious feudal towns as the pillars of the country, honoring the old and the old, and almost kowtowed to beg them to be honest.
Now that the Uighurs are moving south, the court cannot stick its head in the soil and pretend to be dead, but if the Shence army is dispatched, if something unpredictable happens, then I am afraid that the court will really die.
In the face of such a situation, the court became a pot of porridge.
Empress Dowager Wen was originally paying attention, but at this time, she was really trembling, sweating like pulp, and she had no idea at all.
As for Han Gang's treacherous appearance, he naturally pretended to be old and dizzy, and his mouth was full of "Please ask the Queen Mother to have an idea as soon as possible." ”
Lu Zhen, the other ruler, was even more responsible, and he thought that a steady minister should be sent to inquire about the Uighurs' plans, and then the military towns should be on strict alert. To put it bluntly, it is to ask first what is going on, and then stick your head into the soil as an ostrich.
Since the two prime ministers are like this, the ministers below naturally dare to say anything, you have an idea, I think of a strange plan, thirty-six plans and the Taigong Art of War fly together, Yin Fu Jing and Li Weigong ask each other to dance.
When the Qin Heavenly Prison began to argue that the Uighurs would freeze to death in a heavy snowfall by praying for the Heavenly Change, it was Yufu Guo who finally came out to make the final decision.
The Shence army dispatched 12,000 elites, and he personally led the north to the front line of Taiyuan, and opened the mansion in Taiyuan Prefecture, with the commander-in-chief Shuofang, Xia Sui, Zhenwu, Hedong, Sijiedu envoys and Fengzhou defense envoys, and selected a Wenchen from the court to accompany him to the north to find out why the Hui Yak tent crossed the desert to the south. The imperial court should ensure the smooth transfer of materials in the rear, and set up a special transfer envoy to ensure the supply of the Taiyuan shogunate. In addition to military rations, priority should be given to ensuring the military salaries of the army in the north, as well as preparing ordnance as soon as possible to deal with possible war.
This strategy, except for Lu Zhen, the Chinese scholar, resolutely opposed, the Queen Mother and Han Gang have no opinion.
For the Queen Mother, Yu Fuguo's departure from Bai Yujing is really a good opportunity to change the current Yu Fuguo's control of the overall situation, and Han Gang, an old horseman, said at the time that he was very willing to take on the position of this transfer envoy.
After a short period of deliberation, the imperial court finally confirmed Yufuguo's plan, but did the Yu Dynasty really have the capital to reason with the Uighurs now? Wen Yuanheng was not confident.
After the next dynasty, Wen Yuanheng went directly to the emperor in anger.
Before Yuanfu began to search for the harem, this is not something that the students he has taught for three years can do.
Li Xu didn't know why Wen Yuanheng was angry, but he was a clear man.
But he really didn't sleep with the half-breed Wenmei, and yet he also believed that no one would believe his explanation. There is a lively big beauty next to the pillow, even if it is a fish father-in-law, you have to reach out and touch it twice, you say you didn't eat, who will believe it?
Therefore, Li Xu felt that these Confucian students were benevolent, righteous and moral on the surface, but their stomachs were full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Do you feel that others can't hold it if you can't hold it yourself?
"What are you going to teach today, sir?"
"Weichen has nothing to teach His Majesty. Wen Yuanheng arched his hand and said: "Weichen only wishes that Your Majesty will focus on Jiangshan Sheji and Dayu Zongmiao." ”
Li Xu didn't have anything to say at all. Wen Yuanheng has a pure Confucian twisting strength, originally Li Xu admired this kind of character quality, this quality made Wen Yuanheng support the weakest emperor, but everything has two sides, and now it gives him a headache.
In the end, Li Xu still didn't coax Wen Yuanheng, and in the end he simply gave up the explanation and kept admitting his mistakes, but he still didn't beat the old man. However, soon the Queen Mother liberated Li Xu, and she sent someone from Mingtang Palace to summon Wen Yuanheng to discuss matters.
At this time, Li Xu learned from Wen Yuanheng that Yu Fuguo was going to lead his troops north.
Next, an attendant came to spread the word that Yu Fuguo was coming to visit him.
Soon, Yu Fuguo and Cheng Qili came to the Qingliang Hall hand in hand, and after Yu Fuguo retreated, he and Cheng Qili reported the specific situation of the Uighurs to the emperor.
The Uighurs were a large country on the steppe, and they had a good relationship with Dayu, and there was a lot of trade with each other, so there was also eyeliner in the Uighurs. The reason for the Uighur southward movement this time was known to Yufuguo, who heard that it was due to the Uighur civil strife and the attack of other tribes, and they were unable to control the area around the Oudsa Mountains, and even Mobei could not be maintained. Only by crossing the desert and going to the south of the desert to recuperate.
Yufu believed that although the Uighurs had recently lost and were in decline, in order to survive, the Uighurs, who could not afford to return to Mobei, had no choice but to make efforts to move south. The northern towns have not been repairing their military preparations for a long time, and they urgently need to be rectified, so for the future, they need to hurry up to Taiyuan Mansion as a stronghold, passing through Shuofang and other places in the east of the river.
Li Xu watched Yu Fuguo compare and draw on the map, Chen said that his plan, and there was a feeling of emotion when he landed, this old fish head may be really loyal and patriotic.
As for the situation in the court after he left, Yu Fuguo had a judgment, he thought that the holy queen would inevitably press step by step, and choosing a woman in the clan to be a beauty for the emperor was a tentative step. So he and Cheng Qili thought that now that the emperor was getting older, he could already govern himself. So he was going to play ruthlessly before leaving Beijing, and he would leave after killing the Wen family.
"Lieutenant Cheng led the troops into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, beheaded the Empress Dowager Afu, and forced her to issue an edict asking His Majesty to govern in person. The old slave personally led the soldiers to kill all the people of the Wen family, although they raised a few dead soldiers, but it was of no avail. ”
As he spoke, Yu Fuguo took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xu.
This is a list that records the names of the core figures of the Wen family, and after the names, when and who led the troops to kill them, it is obviously a plan of action that Yufu has drafted for a long time.
Li Xu saw Wen Yuanheng's name on the list, he raised his head and looked at Yu Fuguo's unfazed face.
It seemed like an opportunity.
