Chapter 305: The monarch and the minister fight to break the pillar of the country

Yan Yuan didn't understand why Zhao Yu said this, and when he saw that the back of the letter he was holding in his hand had the unique logo of the Blue Sect Leader of the Five Poisons Sect, he felt a little clear in his heart.

Zhao Yu didn't make Yan Yuan curious for too long, and after reading the letter, he handed it directly to Yan Yuan and said: "Regarding the situation in the north, Yan Qi should know more than me, you can take a look, how true is the content of this letter?"

Yan Yuan took the letter, and when he only looked at the beginning, he was surprised in his heart. It turned out that the content of this letter turned out to be an interception of the living notes of the current Yuan Emperor!

The emperor's living notes have always been recorded in the deep palace, and there have always been the most secret measures, so even the emperor himself can't see it, but I didn't expect that this Blue Sect Master has superb means, and even such a top-secret thing can be obtained in his hands! Although the palace avant-garde in Yan Yuan's hands has developed rapidly, it has not yet reached such a terrifying level, so it is still a little reluctant to even spy on the clothing, food, and living of the leaders of the rebel army from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone directly steal the living notes of Emperor Yuan, the nominal lord of the world!

This is a living note, half Mongolian and half Chinese. Yan Yuan was originally not proficient in Mongolian, but after being in charge of intelligence, he also made great efforts to study, and now although he is not proficient, he can read and write easily. It's just that the letter uses some allusions and proverbs that he is not familiar with, so it is a little difficult to understand.

Holding the letter in his hand and reading it for a long time, Yan Yuan roughly understood the meaning on the paper. The letter mainly intercepted the conversation between Emperor Yuan and several Mongol princes, and repeatedly mentioned Li Chahan, the king of Ruyang, and revealed deep jealousy and distrust. Even when he met with a man named Boro Timur, he directly asked if he had any intention of replacing him!

Zhao Yu walked to Yan Yuan's side and carefully explained the somewhat ambiguous parts of the text. Yan Yuan listened to Zhao Yu's explanation, while comparing his own understanding, and searching for information related to this in his mind. After a long time, he spoke: "This matter is very important, and if you want to fully confirm it, you must carefully sort out the past information and sort out a context before you can make a more accurate judgment." ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Do this matter immediately, and be sure to clarify the hidden meaning." Beidi can be a patient, but the king of Ruyang is alone. If you can take advantage of this opportunity, you will definitely gain a lot. All the forces in the north are concentrated on inquiring about this matter, and they have to report it every day. At the same time, I instructed the front-line palace guards in Dadu to prepare for work, and if the time is right, I will go to Dadu in person!"

"Sect Master, how can this be!"

After Yan Yuan heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he said quickly: "You are now responsible for the well-being of millions of Li people in the south of the Yangtze River, your status is respected, and your every move is enough to cause shocks in the world, how can you risk your own life as you did in the past! If everything is still bothered by you, how will we, who are courtiers, deal with ourselves?"

Zhao Yu saw that Yan Yuan's expression was excited, so he smiled and said: "This matter is too important to us, and it is even related to whether we can successfully recover Jiangshan Sheji in the Northern Expedition! I will take into account the reasons that Yan Qi said. My safety is much more important now than what I do. If I wasn't completely sure, I wouldn't have gone north easily. But if it is imperative, I will definitely go. Of course, this is just an intention. Even if I want to leave, I will need to wait until the situation around Yingtian is completely stabilized, and I will not be able to do it until the end of the year at the earliest. In the past few months, you palace avant-garde must make good use of it and maximize the room available for use in this matter. ”

After Yan Yuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was quite skeptical: "Isn't Emperor Yuan crazy? He is thinking like this, is he afraid that his world will not be chaotic?"

Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled: "If he is a normal person, even if he only has the appearance of a middle-aged person, how can this country be reduced to such a state." The Mongolian iron cavalry was so powerful when it swept the world, if it weren't for the fact that the descendants were not honest, how could they give others room to call themselves lonely and widowed!"

Having said that, Zhao Yu was not without shock in his heart. Yangzhou and his party, he learned from Zhao Min that the prince of Tartar was full of hostility to the king of Ruyang, and he was still considering whether he could use this gap to expand, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to take action at all.

In this way, doesn't it mean that Zhao Min's situation is very dangerous?

Zhao Yu's mood became bad, and he pondered for a long time before saying to Yan Yuan: "If it is convenient, you can send someone to inquire about the recent situation of the county lord Shao Min, the king of Ruyang, if ...... Alas, forget it. ”

Yan Yuan saw Zhao Yu's embarrassed appearance, and remembered that Wei Yixiao had talked with him in private about the relationship between the sect leader and this Shao Min county lord was quite unusual, but now it seems that this friendship is a little deeper than what Wei Yixiao said. Although Zhao Yu has been married, the position of the concubine has never been established. During this period of time, there were different opinions in the city because of this. Yan Yuan was a little keenly aware that he was only afraid that he would be able to guess the truth this time.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I will pay attention to this matter." ”

After sending Yan Yuan away, Zhao Yu's heart was still a mess, and he paced back and forth in the hall alone with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he picked up the letter and read it again. He has seen a lot of deceitful things, and he can even see a lot of thick blood light between the lines.

There will be signs of the imminent demise of the ancient kingdom, and the kings and ministers will run hand in hand on the road to destruction, and whichever one stops them will be their enemies. History is a lesson, the Yuan Court will not be an exception, and the King of Ruyang will not be an exception!

The words of Emperor Yuan on the letter faintly indicate that his desire to get rid of King Ruyang is not just an intention, and he has even begun the layout of the actual surname. It was only because the King of Ruyang had a very high reputation among the Mongols, and the power in his hands was extremely strong, that Emperor Yuan did not make a move. However, they have also begun to actively engage with various forces among the Mongols, and at the same time cultivate suitable replacements to replace them at the right time.

Yan Yuan was extremely efficient, and in less than an hour after leaving, he found out the information about everyone mentioned on the letter sealed by the palace avant-garde and sent it to the palace of the king of Chu. He knew that this matter was very important, so he didn't dare to slack off, and urgently transferred two guards who had just returned from the north and were very familiar with the situation in the north to rush to the palace together, waiting outside for Zhao Yu to summon and inquire.

Most of the three boxes of information are records of these people's usual behaviors, but there is very little information that really touches on the deeper level. However, Zhao Yu didn't need much in-depth information at the moment, he only needed to judge how far they had gone in this plot through the usual behavior of these people. If they really have a definite plan for further planning, they will definitely reveal the clues in their ordinary lives.

The collection of information by the palace avant-garde was terrifying, and even in the event of an unexpected situation without warning, the information provided was still extremely detailed, and none of the Mongolian nobles mentioned in the letter were missing. On the one hand, it should be attributed to the avant-garde of the temple to thoroughly explore the huge potential of Mingjiao in the world. On the other hand, these people summoned by Emperor Yuan were all great names among the Mongols, a group of people who really held real power. Zhao Yu had deliberately taken care of carefully investigating the changes in the situation in the north, and these people naturally became the targets of the palace's avant-garde surveillance and spying.

In addition to the simple text description on paper, the two guards who returned from the north also answered Zhao Yu's questions carefully and thoroughly. Based on this lot of information, although these people are on the same front as Emperor Yuan, they are not unscrupulous towards Li Chahan, and now they are still just staying in simple isolation, but there are not too many actual surnames. As for whether these people are unshakable, Zhao Yu still does not know, and further intelligence support is needed to make a judgment.

After thinking about it for so long, Zhao Yu's mood gradually calmed down. He picked up a pen and marked out the forces of infighting in the Yuan court on paper, and at the same time connected the relationship between all parties. It can be seen that the King of Ruyang is currently in an extremely bad situation, and his only advantage is that he has what can be said to be the largest elite army in the Yuan Court.

Li Chahan has a very high prestige in the Yuan army, which is the source of Emperor Yuan's taboo against him, and it is also the biggest reason why he has not dared to make a move so far. This army is no longer completely controlled by the Yuan court. In fact, as early as a few years ago, the last elite that the Yuan court could directly control had been exhausted by Liu Futong and Zhang Shicheng. The army that is now maintaining the situation in the north is an elite soldier recruited and trained by King Ruyang, and to a certain extent, it is already his private army.

For Zhao Yu, a Yuan court that is stable and confrontational and continues to consume itself is far better than a court that is at the end of its rope but united. The ideal state is naturally for the two sides to engage in protracted confrontation, but neither side can achieve an overwhelming advantage over the other. Of course, the enemy would not do what Zhao Yu envisioned, and Emperor Yuan's determination to get rid of Li Chahan was already very resolute. The only hurdle that can't be bypassed is the army in Richard's hands. If there is no effective arrangement in the follow-up, even if the king of Ruyang is eliminated, I am afraid that the army will mutini and collapse.

Zhao Yu brought himself into the Yuan Emperor, thought for a long time, and then picked up the pen and wrote another name on the side of Li Chahan's enemy: Wang Baobao!

After writing, Zhao Yu looked at the paper full of graffiti with an indifferent face. Thinking like this may be a bit cruel to Zhao Min, Wang Baobao may not do anything rebellious, but his existence itself constitutes a factor in the death of King Ruyang to a certain extent.

It is true that a living King of Ruyang has certain benefits for Zhao Yu, but it is also a powerful hidden danger. Whether Richard is dead or alive, he must be prepared to deal with it first. Moreover, it is indeed imperative to go to Dadu.

Before being an emperor, he was first and foremost a man. (To be continued.) )
