Chapter 411: Shocking Changes in the Capital (1)
At this time, a few scholars knew that the military leaders in the northwest were destroyed by Mr. Long, the queen of science, and by the way, they also expelled the foreign barbarians from the Tianshan Mountains, if it were not for the invasion of Hu Cai, this was really great news, but now, what is more important is the matter of millions of Hu cavalry entering the pass, after crossing the Great Wall, within half a month, Hu Qi vanguard can rush to the gate of the capital!
The leading bachelor coughed lightly: "The Holy Dragon is in poor health, and he should take care of it, but it's just a matter of Hu Qi entering the customs--whether to invite the prince--"
The crown prince was originally in charge of the country, and the old emperor was seriously ill and could not manage the country, so he should naturally handle all the affairs, but the prince had somehow hated the old emperor, although he did not officially decree to take away his prison country, but was quietly set aside by the old emperor. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, a group of scholars saw Hu riding into the customs, and the old emperor fell ill in a hurry, so he thought of asking the prince to come to the court again to deal with state affairs.
However, the old emperor did not answer this sentence, he closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened them again: "It is imperative to have a general who leads the elite troops to meet the Hu cavalry, and must not let the Hu cavalry invade the capital." Otherwise, the world is in danger. ”
The capital is the largest city of the Great Li Dynasty, with more than 3 million soldiers and civilians, if Hu Cai really besieges the city and cuts off the canal, there is no need to fight, and three million people can starve to death.
The scholars of the military aircraft department mentioned the names of several generals one after another, but they were all vetoed by the old emperor, these generals were either fighting and defending on the frontier, and they did not have time to rush to the capital for a while, or their prestige was not enough to lead the army, or they were not familiar with cavalry warfare in water warfare--
The nomination of the scholar was rejected one after another, and he was a little anxious, and someone blurted out: "Why don't you just invite Mr. Houlong--" before the words came out, and immediately knew that this statement was too ridiculous, Mr. Houlong had just recovered the northwest, and the saint rewarded him with the northwest -- the northwest was originally desolate and weak, and the court had to subsidize a lot of silver every year, and the reward was given to Mr. Houlong, which was equivalent to getting rid of a burden, and the court was not heartbroken at all. But if Mr. Houlong is asked to retire from Hu Qi, then what should be rewarded? Is it possible to thank the world for Mr. Houlong?
At this time, the leading scholar suddenly sighed: "If the general Wang is not paralyzed, with his bravery, he will lead the army to the north, and he will be able to block the Hu cavalry going south." ”
This general king is the second prince, although he is young, but he has divine power since he was a child, he loves to fight in the army, he fought in the north and south at a young age, and has made countless great achievements, he is loved by the military, and he is also very famous among the people, everyone calls him the general king, and even some of the cultivation sects are very optimistic about this second prince, and there is a faint rumor of supporting his succession. But because of this, he got the suspicion of the prince, and after the defeat of southern Xinjiang, he became a waste person on the hospital bed.
The old emperor's face was gloomy, and he shook his head: "The second brother can't even get up from bed, how can he lead the army to fight?"
Lu Yueding had been silently listening to the old emperor dealing with state affairs while he was sick, and then he suddenly coughed lightly: "Holy Lord, the slave has something to say." ”
Although the old emperor was sick, he couldn't help frowning, what was wrong with Lu Yueding, this dog minion? He had been cautious and cautious for most of his life, why did he suddenly intervene when he was discussing military affairs with the scholars of the Military Aircraft Department?
For a moment, the old emperor wanted to order the guards with knives to drag Lu Yueding down, and with the rule that eunuchs should not interfere in politics established by his ancestors, he directly killed the old slave with a staff outside the study with "arguing about big politics".
However, the old emperor gently stroked his chest, but in the end he did not call the guards - he had angina glycerin, but Lu Yueding begged it from Mr. Houlong. I heard the imperial doctor say that he could save a life, but it was also thanks to Lu Yueding who saw the opportunity quickly and let himself take glycerin as soon as possible - in this way, this slave still has the ability to save the driver.
The old emperor closed his eyes noncommittally, did not say to let Lu Yueding shut up, nor did he signal for him to continue to speak, but Lu Yueding was open, he waited for so long, and finally waited for this opportunity - an opportunity for eunuchs to interfere in politics!
Lu Yueding said word by word: "The old slave learned a method from Mr. Houlong, which can cure the disease of the second prince!"
In the south study, there was a sound of silence, so quiet that you could hear the breathing of the scholars, guards, and little eunuchs, everyone knew that if the second prince could recover from his illness, it would bring earth-shaking changes to the imperial court, and the battle between the prince and the second prince for the throne would become white-hot, but in the face of the overwhelming Hu cavalry, only the second prince could lead the army and go north to resist the enemy.
After a long time, the old emperor said softly: "Feng the second prince is the generalissimo of the northern army and horses, and the military aircraft department has written it to see--"
Half an hour later, a team of fast horses galloped out of the palace and headed towards the prince's Zhuangzi in the suburbs, where the second prince was recuperating from his illness, and it was Lu Yueding himself who rode at the forefront.
In recent days, the prince rarely came to Zhuangzi, that set of brothers, friends and brothers, the trick of serving the decoction is rare to stage, the second prince is also a little cleaner, the price is only half lying on the bed all day, looking at all kinds of books and playthings produced in Houlong Village, but also comfortable.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and the guards who had been ordered by the prince to guard the door were rudely pushed away by a team of brocade guards, and Lu Yueding strode in and walked straight to the bedside of the second prince's hospital, "There is a decree from the saint." ”
The second prince hurriedly dragged his legs off the bed, pushed away the servant next to him, lay on the ground, and said loudly: "The son of the minister takes the order." ”
Lu Yueding dragged out a long voice and thought the holy decree, but he made the second prince the generalissimo of the northern army and horses, and immediately commanded the troops to go north to resist the enemy. The second prince was stunned, and after receiving the order to thank him, he patted his legs with a wry smile: "Gonggong Lu, it's not that I disobey the order, it's just my legs - I can't fight with people on the march on my back, right?"
Lu Yue said: "Second prince, please rest assured, the slave has obtained Mr. Houlong's magical powers, which can cure your leg disease for the second prince, and you can jump on the horse immediately, and you can walk and run without hindrance." ”
The second prince's eyes lit up: "Mr. Houlong's supernatural powers are really so magical?" Father-in-law Lu, my good eldest brother has asked for countless immortal medicines for me, but he has not cured my leg disease." ”
Lu Yue said with a straight face: "Mr. Houlong's method, no need to take decoction, no need to apply needle stones, immediate results, the method to get rid of the disease." ”
The second prince laughed: "Okay, please also ask Gonggong Lu to use Mr. Houlong's secret method." ”
Lu Yueding spread his palms: "Please sit upright with the second prince, without a trace of distractions in your heart." ”
The second prince held it and sat on the ground, Lu Yueding broke a branch from the miscellaneous trees in the courtyard, and then went around behind the second prince, and suddenly snorted softly, and the branch lightly hit the back of the second prince's head, the strength was so light that even a fly could not be swatted.
Then, Lu Yueding solemnly put down the branch in his hand and said loudly: "Second prince, this is Mr. Houlong's secret method of drinking the first stick, specifically to cure your leg disease. Your legs are now ready to go down to the ground. ”
The second prince's eyes swelled, and he laughed: "Mr. Houlong is so powerful! Good way! Good to drink, good! Good! Good!" As soon as his legs were forced, he stood up directly from the ground.
Lu Yueding made a big salute to the second prince: "Congratulations to the second prince for getting rid of a stubborn illness and reappearing as a general king in the world." ”
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the second prince was paralyzed, just to cover the prince's ears, and the prince also knew that he took the opportunity to put the second prince under house arrest in his own Zhuangzi, and the decoction he served had long been mixed with poison, hoping to completely poison the second prince, but the second prince also had some ability, and he used his strength to dissolve the poison, which has lasted until today.
The so-called Mr. Houlong's magic skills are just an excuse, what really got the second prince out of trouble was the invasion of Hu Qi from the north, and the second prince had already learned from secret channels that Hu Qi had broken the Great Wall, and knew that if the imperial court wanted to resist Hu Cai, he had to reactivate himself. Even if the prince is reluctant, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, otherwise, he can't go into battle shirtless and lead the enemy himself?-- prince is good at infighting, but he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and if he goes to the battlefield in person, isn't it to die?
However, the second prince is still very grateful to Mr. Houlong of the Science Gate, and the news that he has cured his long-term leg disease has been spread and appeared, which invisibly proves that the cultivation world has strong support for him, which has great benefits for his comeback.
The second prince shouted violently: "Someone!
Immediately, several guards stepped forward and helped the second prince put on the stainless steel full-body armor that the old emperor sent with the holy decree, as well as a slashing saber, the second prince clenched his fist and patted the full-body armor, and praised: "Is this the full-body armor made by the squire with a water-powered forging machine? ”
Lu Yueding's eyes flashed, although the second prince pretended to be sick and lay on the bed, in fact, he had been learning everything about the outside world through secret channels, otherwise, how would he know that Zhu Shilang had made a hydraulic forging machine, and how could he know the new term assembly line production - the second prince is a crouching tiger, even if he is trapped in Zhuangzi and has been grinding his minions in secret, but the prince is ridiculous, when he is interrupted, he will only secretly put some poison, if he hardens his heart and kills the second prince directly, even if he bears the infamy of the world, but the supreme position is none other than him。
Today, under the hint of Lu Yueding, the old emperor publicly decided to support the second prince to ascend the throne, and the crown prince was defeated, and all these changes originated from the small Houlong Village under the Fengshen Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea.
The second prince shouted violently, his hand raised his knife and fell, and the pillar of the grass shed was cut off, the grass shed made a strange creaking sound, slowly poured, everyone hurriedly ran out of the grass shed, the second prince walked at the end, he just crossed the threshold, boom, and the grass shed that had been under house arrest for several years collapsed to the ground.
The second prince stroked the steel knife as if he was stroking his lover: "Good knife, good knife, such a good knife should be nourished with the blood of a dog." ”
Lu Yueding said with a smile: "The Great General of the Good Sect Wang learned that Zhu Shilang has created 50,000 full-body armor, 180,000 fine steel weapons, and blast furnaces and forging machines are working in full swing. ”
He deliberately added: "Zhu Fukun, the son-in-law of Zhu Shilang, is now worshiping under Mr. Long, the door of science, this method of frying steel, filling steel, hydraulic forging machine, etc., are all secret recipes dedicated to the imperial court by the door of science." ”
In fact, all the bigwigs in the court knew in their hearts that it was the prince in charge of logistics at that time who was in charge of the troublemaker and cut off the food and ordnance of the second prince.
The second prince nodded: "Okay." I'll go to the Beijing camp, straighten out my troops and horses, and go to battle immediately!"
However, the second prince broke his promise.
The second prince rode into the Beijing camp alone, ushered in the tsunami-like welcome of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, the second prince "sick bed" in the years, the prince has been planning to install his cronies in the army, but by the veterans in the army or openly or covertly resisted, and even the old emperor is secretly pulling his hand, so that the officers and soldiers in the army still support the second prince, especially the big head soldiers at the bottom, only recognize the general who has led them to countless victories!
However, when the second prince learned that his father had angina, although he was treated in time by the glycerin invented by Mr. Houlong and was rescued, he was lying on the hospital bed and could not be helped, he hesitated and did not dare to immediately send troops to Beijing to meet the enemy.
The reason is very simple, that is, the second prince is worried that once he leaves Beijing with the Beijing camp, the capital will be empty, and the prince will suddenly make a mess and do great rebellion, in that case, he will suffer another defeat in southern Xinjiang!
No! This defeat will be even more terrible than that of southern Xinjiang! Hu Cai's combat effectiveness is several times that of the monkey soldiers in southern Xinjiang, and once the food and ordnance cannot be paid, and the millions of Hu cavalry will trap the army led by themselves to death, it will bury the most elite army of Da Li Ming in one fell swoop, and it will really be the destruction of the country and the nation!
Therefore, the rear is unstable for a day, and the second prince does not dare to leave Beijing for a day.
The safest way is to cut off the crown prince, so that there will be no worries. However, the crown prince can be unjust, put his brother under house arrest, and feed him with poison, but the second prince cannot kill his brother, first, the old emperor will not be willing, and secondly, the prince still has the support of cultivators behind him, and the second prince does not have the courage to challenge the cultivators.
For a time, the border pass was three shocks a day, and Hu rode to break through the city like a snowflake of paperwork sent to the capital, although the second prince ordered the soldiers and horses to work on the king, but he held 300,000 of the most elite Beijing camp, but he did not go out of Beijing to meet the enemy.
At the same time, in a cave in Kunlun Xianshan, the peach blossom forest is blooming with bright flowers under the nourishment of the aura, a young man is blindfolded, and several women in Chinese clothes are playing hide and seek in the peach blossom forest, the young man accidentally crashed into a peach tree, and suddenly fell full of peach blossoms, causing bursts of laughter from the women.
The young man was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Fairy sisters, let's play peek-a-boo and I will catch it later, but we will be punished for push-ups." ”
One of the petite and delicate women playfully stuck out her tongue: "Third prince, every time you play hide and seek, you don't call it hide and seek, and you also say that you have to do push-ups if you catch it, what does this mean?"
The young man who was frolicking in the peach blossom forest was the third prince who had been missing for a long time, and he said with a smile: "This talk of peek-a-boo and pretentious push-ups was passed down by Mr. Long behind the Science Gate, as for why he did push-ups after peek-a-boo, I don't know." ”
The Linglong woman wrinkled her nose: "What Mr. Houlong, that one named Guo Dalu is a liar, he doesn't know how to practice at all, he can only tinker with some messy things, I really don't know why you mortals respect him so much." ”
When the third prince heard the woman belittled Mr. Houlong, he tore the blindfold off his head, and said: "Mr. Houlong's various secret techniques are all beneficial to the country and the people. ”
The delicate woman was still unconvinced: "What kind of surgery, it's bloody, isn't it disgusting to the dead?" Third prince, you have injured me in the Kunlun Immortal Mansion, and a grain of immortal can be cured, which is like now, there is still a big scar on the body." ”
The third prince still wanted to refute, but a burst of fairy music came from the air, and a beautiful woman in palace costume accompanied by a group of fairy fairies and fairies, riding a leopard with a money cloud pattern came slowly, and the fairies who were playing hurriedly knelt down to greet her: "Welcome to the Queen Mother of the West." ”
The third prince lifted the hem, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully, he is just a mortal prince, and the Queen Mother of the West is the supreme of the West in the cultivation world, the difference between the two is like mud, the wealth and glory of the three princes are also mentioned in the face of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is really like mud and sand.
The Queen Mother of the West smiled and waved her hand, and the invisible force gently held up the three princes: "The three princes don't have to be polite. She turned to the fairy who was arguing with the third prince just now: "You kid is wrong, Mr. Houlong's surgery is still very remarkable, this technique does not need to use a little spiritual power, if it can be extended to the world, it is not as good as how many mortals will benefit from it, although I am full of spiritual energy on Kunlun Mountain, but this refining elixir still consumes a lot of spiritual power." This in and out, one consumption and one consumption, accumulate over time, even if I, the Kunlun Immortal Mansion, can't withstand the consumption of this spiritual power that only can't go in and out. This alone shows Mr. Houlong's cleverness. ”
The fairy was very favored by the Queen Mother of the West, and stuck out her tongue: "After this, Mr. Long can be praised by the mother, I really don't know if it is the blessing he has cultivated in several lifetimes, if there is a chance, I will definitely find him to make a move, to see if it is the secret art of the Science Gate, or my Kunlun Mountain's immortal chess."
