Chapter 865: Disorder
At the same time, pray for the Heavenly Empire, the national capital.
Late at night, Huang Yuanwu did not have a trace of sleep, he wore thin clothes, sitting in his bedroom, this hall was empty, only his dragon bed in the middle, out of some sporadic royal decorations, nothing else, also empty.
I don't know how long this situation has lasted, but it seems that it has been maintained since Huang Yuanwu ascended the throne.
The conquest of the northern kingdoms is over, the Northern Wangfu is annihilated under the iron hooves of the heavens, and all the forces, families and merchants who have been loyal to the Northern Wangfu have all been annihilated by the iron cavalry of the Eastern Wangfu sent by Huang Yuanwu, no, it should be called now, the Prayer Heaven Imperial Forest Army.
The results of the annihilation of the Northern Palace, alleviating the famine in the imperial capital and several nearby towns, did not cause a large number of deaths, the people in the imperial capital said that this was the merit of the new emperor, and sang praises to him, but Huang Yuanwu knew in his heart that he sacrificed some people who might be innocent in exchange for the survival of the people in the imperial capital, and these people were far from the people in his imagination.
However, this was not what he was worn, it was something else, something else that could really cause turmoil to the Empire.
First of all, the third brother Huang Yanghui came to the imperial capital, he asked Huang Yuanwu to divide the area of the East Wangfu to him, let him become the new East King, before coming to the imperial capital to meet Huang Yuanwu, Huang Yanghui had actually controlled all the territory of the East Wangfu, to Huang Yuanwu's surprise, Liu Yuan, the city lord of the East Wangfu, would actually choose to stand on Huang Yanghui's side. Not only that, but a number of veterans of the Eastern Palace, including Sha Shaoyuan, chose to stand on Huang Yanghui's side and openly supported Huang Yanghui to inherit the throne of the Eastern King.
This matter gave Huang Yuanwu a headache, but what made him happy was that Yu Sheng did not betray him, because he did not support Huang Yanghui to inherit the Dongwang Mansion, and he is still detained in Pingjin City, and his life and death are unknown.
Dongwangfu is the foundation of Huang Yuanwu, he never thought that at this time, the third brother, who has always been afraid of himself like a tiger, would attack himself, the affairs of the empire have not subsided, and there are clues between the brothers, which is the most difficult for Huang Yuanwu.
Huang Yanghui came to the imperial capital alone, and then went alone, in this process, Huang Yuanwu did not embarrass the third brother, because after all, this is the younger brother of his compatriot, he is ruthless to the enemy, but what can he do to his relatives?
Huang Yanghui's departure means that the entire Dongwang Mansion has been completely out of the control of the imperial capital and belongs to Huang Yanghui, Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, he was also worried in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything, almost acquiescing to this matter.
When the third brother left, Huang Yuanwu only made one request to him, let him go for the rest of his life, let him come to the imperial capital safely, Huang Yanghui agreed, but so far, there is no whereabouts for the rest of his life.
If this incident made Huang Yuanwu feel cold and headaches, then what happened later made him feel very tricky.
Liu Yi returned, and at the same time brought back the situation of the surrounding provinces, and there was accurate information that a new force was growing rapidly, uniting the commercial banks and farmers in the province, and soon controlled a large area, but because they did not have any armed resistance at present
, the provincial commander did not send troops to exterminate it.
This is a very clear message, it tells Huang Yuanwu, the empire, is going to be in chaos.
Liu Yi's ability Huang Yuanwu is absolutely convinced, and he absolutely believes in Liu Yi's loyalty, and the news he brought back will not go wrong. The fact that the newly rising forces can grow rapidly in other provinces means that they have the soil to survive and expand rapidly, which also proves from one level that some people of the Qitian Empire are seeking change, and it is self-evident what kind of change they are seeking.
The officials of the outside provinces did not send troops to exterminate them, which was not allowed in the law of praying for heaven, and they actually revealed two pieces of news by doing so; first, the officials of these provinces were testing the bottom line of Huang Yuanwu. Second, they are inseparable from this newly rising force.
The matter of the East Wangfu is not a secret at all, Huang Yuanwu has lost the base of the East Wangfu, and the old department of the East Wangfu in his hands cannot go back to his homeland, which is already very tricky, and such a thing has happened at such a critical moment, which makes Huang Yuanwu very annoyed, recently, he has been thinking of a strategy to deal with.
According to his usual temper, if such a thing happens, he will inevitably send troops to exterminate it as soon as possible, and if the officials of the province are disobedient, he will definitely not show mercy to his subordinates. But his long military career has made Huang Yuanwu understand a lot of truths, one of which is that the division is unknown.
The tiger and wolf division of the East Wangfu is now trapped in the imperial capital, and the army of more than 100,000 seems to have no foundation, and the soldiers are disheartened after learning about the East Wangfu, which is the primary reason why Huang Yuanwu cannot raise troops to go to war.
Also, in the cold winter, the heavy snow blocked the road, it is no longer suitable to be able to keep the imperial capital stable, where is there more spare labor division expedition, even if the morale of the troops has no impact, the grain and grass can not be supplied at all, this is not a solution to this matter at all.
Perhaps, the other party chose to appear at this time, it was clear that they had already calculated that Huang Yuanwu would not send troops to exterminate them, and they also calculated that the officials of these provinces would sweep the snow in front of their doors, and would not care about the death or life of the imperial capital or praying for the sky, so they were blatantly expanding, if the snow melted in the spring of the next year, if Huang Yuanwu could solve the problem at hand and gather troops to go on the expedition, they would have been ready to deal with it at that time;
Huang Yuanwu doesn't know the truth of this, if you really wait until spring, I'm afraid that the power of this rebellion has become the climate, and now Huang Yanghui's sudden change of face to himself has made Huang Yuanwu's heart extremely uncomfortable, Dongwangfu is afraid that it is absolutely impossible to send troops to help the imperial capital to quell the rebellion, relying on the current strength of the imperial capital alone, not to mention the problem of troop morale, just the labor expedition, Huang Yuanwu does not even have a reliable general to lead the expedition.
Although Ding Jiang is loyal and brave, he is enough for any general, but he does not have the ability to make him the marshal who coordinates the entire war. Ye Guanning Yi was all separated, Liu Yuan followed Huang Yanghui for the rest of his life, and the other was now detained by Huang Yanghui in the East Palace, and Huang Yuanwu really had no one at hand.
Previously, Huang Yuanwu's plan was to put the entire Dongwangfu under the jurisdiction of Yu Sheng, to be the rear of the imperial capital, and Huangyanghui to open up the wasteland in the south with peace of mind, lay the foundation for the future foundation, and further consolidate the power of the Dongwangfu.
But what he never expected was that his own brother would play this hand with him, and this hand was drawn from the bottom of the kettle, completely disrupting all Huang Yuanwu's plans.
Huang Yuanwu actually knew in his heart that as long as he returned to the East Palace, the East Palace would still be his territory, and the millions of people in the East Palace would recognize him as his little prince Huang Yuanwu, not Huang Yanghui. But Huang Yuanwu has his own reasons why he can't leave the imperial capital, and at the same time, he also understands in his heart that there must be other reasons behind Huang Yanghui's sudden change, but he really can't spare his hands to take care of these things now.
Since ascending to the throne of the Emperor of Qitian to the present, Huang Yuanwu has not slept for a complete night, walking on thin ice every day, which is far from when he was the little prince of the East Palace, it seems that the emperor is high, everything in the world is his, and he has the power of life and death for everyone, in fact, the emperor's suffering is only known to the emperor himself, such as this big palace, he doesn't even have a person who can speak to his heart.
In the empty hall, only a candle lamp was placed on the table in front of Huang Yuanwu, and the faint light spread to the entire hall, making this place look a little gloomy. Of course, Huang Yuanwu didn't like this kind of atmosphere, but he also couldn't adapt to the emperor's rules, couldn't adapt to the waiters who had changed their voices serving him by his side, and couldn't adapt to the open guns and hidden arrows that could come at any time.
After the enthronement ceremony was over, Huang Yuanwu ordered that there should be no attendants near his bedroom, and he seemed to have become a real loner, and everything had to be carried by himself.
The officials of the imperial capital were very enthusiastic about him, the new emperor, showing that they could only do things with flattery, and tried every means to show themselves in front of Huang Yuanwu, wanting to seek a higher official position for themselves. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, not to mention that after Yang Qin's rebellion before, a large part of the officials in the imperial capital were wiped out, and the rest of them were either Mingzhe to protect themselves, or they were in the same stream, in short, the ability to do things was put aside, and the ability to save lives was first-class.
Huang Yuanwu was disdainful of these officials, but he also found some capable people in charge of the jurisdiction of the imperial capital, as for the affairs of the outside provinces, Huang Yuanwu did not publicly mention it in the court at all, even if other officials mentioned it, Huang Yuanwu did not say a word, and Quan Dang did not hear about it, because these people's opinions did not work at all, and because Huang Yuanwu himself had not yet figured out what to do.
He began to miss his previous days in the East Palace, he was carefree at that time, all he needed to think about was the affairs of the twenty cities of the East Palace, everything was governed in an orderly manner, where it was like the current prayer sky, the whole thing was a mess that I didn't know where to start to clean up.
On the table, there was a cup of tea that had already been cooled, and there was a delicate teapot on the tea seat on the side, which was steaming all the time, Huang Yuanwu looked at the charcoal fire in the furnace and was stunned, subconsciously picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it all.
At this time, he suddenly remembered Huang Yongning, Huang Yuchen, and his two younger brothers who had not heard from him for a long time, if one of the two of them was around, Huang Yuanwu would not be like this.
His brows furrowed slightly, he sighed softly, he sent someone to inquire about the news of his two younger brothers, but there was no news.
