Tie Zhen changed the subject: "Your Majesty, our top priority now is to understand why they want to capture Jingbei Hou. After all, in the hands of Jingbei Hou, there are more than 200,000 elite troops who have fought with the aliens outside the Great Wall.
, and occupied the strategic point of the Hetao. If the robbery fails, the six states in the Hetao will most likely fall out with the imperial court immediately."
Pang Ye smiled bitterly: "The minister doesn't know something. If this is really the case, I'm afraid it's what they want to see. Their real purpose is to hope that the Marquis of Jingbei can fall out with the emperor. After all, the Marquis of Jingbei is controlled by the court.
Whatever happens on the territory, we are inseparable from it no matter what. And Jingbeihou’s generals will not only target the Auxiliary King just because the person who takes action is the Auxiliary King. They will definitely think that this is because of His Majesty.
At that time, the auxiliary king only needs to use some means to make the relationship between us and Hetao irreconcilable."
Sima Angelica nodded: "I think so too. But what I didn't expect is that the Auxiliary King can drag the three aristocratic families into trouble, and the three aristocratic families actually know what the Auxiliary King wants and still carry out it."
Pang Ye explained: "Although the three major aristocratic families support the Auxiliary King, this is only for their own reasons. The three major aristocratic families have always been against their will, and the Auxiliary King will not be unaware of this. Such a situation
Naturally, the Auxiliary King cannot let himself be the leader, and will not let go of his so-called allies. The three major aristocratic families are obviously aware of the threat of Jingbei Marquis, so even though they know that the Auxiliary King is
It’s dragging people into the water, but I have to go.”
Tie Zhen thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that although the behavior of the auxiliary king is a bit reckless, it is not completely unreasonable. The Marquis of Jingbei currently has nearly 300,000 troops in his hands. Most of them are
They are the elites who survived the bloody battles with the foreign races outside the Great Wall. Compared with the three major legions of the empire before, their combat effectiveness may still be somewhat behind, but the gap must be very small. Jingbei Hou did not have any background before this, although
There is no evil tendency, but just by his private alliance with Tianwu Xinghe, it can be seen that he has great ambitions. No one dares to look down on such a fierce tiger. Your Majesty, please don't forget that Jingbei Hou's late father,
However, Tanhuahao, one of the three most famous talents of the time, was very good. And his biological mother was seriously injured due to an assassination on the way to being demoted, and finally died of dystocia. I think Jingbeihou is a real person.
How could he know what he was thinking because of his deep feelings and nature? Therefore, I believe that although the move of the King of Assistant Government is a bit reckless, it also has the element of building up Qingfeng's century-old legacy."
Emperor Yinglie was very surprised. Haotian was loyal to the Qingfeng royal family. He really didn't understand why Tie Zhen made such remarks. However, Tie Zhen was a veteran of the Four Dynasties. Since he said this, he naturally had his reason. So it was strange
Asked: "Ai Qing, can you explain it more clearly?"
"Your Majesty, we must not fall out with the auxiliary king now. Now we are surrounded by wolves and the national power is weakening. Although all fronts are relatively calm now, once the spring flowers bloom, the world will definitely be turbulent. The veterans of the Xijiang Defense Line dare not
It is concluded that the Three Northeastern Kingdoms on the north bank of the river defense line and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty on the East China Sea will definitely not be left alone. The Three Northeastern Kingdoms have suppressed a total of 600,000 elite troops on the river defense line. They will definitely not just show off. And our country's
The navy has all been pinned down on the Dahe and Xijiang rivers, and there is not a single soldier on the East China Sea. The Eastern Japanese have now invaded the three islands of Zhoushan, Chongming and Qiongya. The next ones will inevitably be Yangzhou Road and Jiangnan.
Along the coast. In addition, the nomads in the west are also ready to move. So the most important thing for us now is to step up the training of the army and make up for the loopholes on all fronts. Before the storm comes, reserve as much strength as possible to deal with the crazy attacks of the surrounding alien races.
Although the auxiliary king has evil intentions, at least now he and the emperor are still on the same front. As the legitimate son of the royal family, he cannot watch Qingfeng weaken, so the veteran believes that the auxiliary king is not only trying to eradicate Jingbei Hou
This potential threat also wants to drag the three major families into trouble, and test His Majesty's reaction by the way."
"Testing my bottom line? Well, it's not impossible." Emperor Yinglie nodded, and said with a headache: "Since the Assistant King was able to persuade the three major families and sent Mingjian Villa and Yanyu Ninghua Palace,
With the power of Marquis Jingbei, they are bound to win it. However, do they want to assassinate Marquis Jingbei or simply invite him back?"
Pang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I guess they just want to capture Marquis Jingbei alive. After all, Marquis Jingbei still has nearly 300,000 troops in his hands. As long as they can control Marquis Jingbei, they are not afraid that the Hetao army will not obey them."
Order, presumably they also saw the huge benefits in this, so the three major aristocratic families were willing to take big risks to offend Marquis Jingbei. However, Marquis Jingbei has always been stubborn, and I am afraid it will not be easy to capture him alive." Pang Ye said next.
He didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant. Haotian is a strong man, how could he bear the injustice of the prisoners under his command. And there are still many uncertain factors in this. It is obvious that Pang Ye has feelings for Haotian.
I don’t have much confidence in my life or death.
Emperor Yinglie nodded, frowning, and said after a long time: "If Haotian can successfully escape back to Hetao, then I will immediately send someone to Hetao to appease him in the name of announcing the decree, so as to strengthen his loyalty to the royal family;
If he is captured by the auxiliary king and returned to Tiandu Shengjing, then let him temporarily live in the Jingbei Marquis Mansion, and then slowly divide the troops under him. These people are all warriors in the Northern Expedition and original soldiers of Hetao.
The people, I think, still tend to favor the empire in their hearts; if something unexpected happens to him, then we will immediately clear away all responsibilities and let Mingjian Villa and Yanyu Ninghua Palace bear the blame. I can't help him for the time being.
Prince Zheng, can't you still touch his two minions?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!" Pang Ye and the other three said at the same time. However, Pang Ye felt a little unbearable in his heart. Haotian had a life-saving grace for him and was loyal to the court. And now he is very popular in Qingfeng territory.
Reputation, but for the sake of the internal stability of the empire, although he was intolerant, he could not tolerate any mercy at this time. In the face of national justice, personal emotions had to be put aside for the first time.
At this moment, the emperor's uncle Liu Nanshu, the leader of the collecting system responsible for the empire's intelligence collection, walked in with a copy of the latest intelligence in his hand.
"Uncle, please sit down." Emperor Yinglie nodded, took the information and read it carefully, and then a touch of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what happy event this is?" Seeing Emperor Yinglie turning his anger into joy, Tie Zhen couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Li Xiaomo and the others' sniper attack on Marquis Jingbei was unsuccessful. Marquis Jingbei was rescued by a mysterious man and has now arrived in Kezhou, Hetao." Emperor Yinglie said with a smile, and then handed the information in his hand to the three people beside him.
People, let them circulate it.
Tie Zhen shook his head and said: "Li Xiaomo and four other people teamed up to snipe the Marquis of Jingbei at Dahe Ferry. The Eastern Japanese ninja took the opportunity to assassinate him. At the critical moment, a mysterious masked woman flew to the rescue. The latter teamed up with a middle-aged man and a ninja.
Attacking the masked woman, a young scholar frightened the two of them away, and rescued Jingbei Hou and Xian Lianchen."
Sima Danggui asked curiously: "Who is this young scholar? Zhang Yuewan and others are the best among the younger generation of the empire. It is not an easy task to rescue people from their encirclement.
.Since the Auxiliary King has placed such a heavy bargaining chip, how could he let Marquis Jingbei leave so easily?"
Emperor Yinglie also smiled: "I am also surprised. According to the intelligence, both Chu Jianhuan and Ruoyu Hanmei appeared at the ferry in the end, but they did not say anything to stop them. Unfortunately, the people collecting the wind did not dare to get too close, otherwise they should
Be able to figure out what's going on."
Pang Ye smiled in his heart. The person in the world who could make Chu Jianhuan and others so taboo was a young scholar. Apart from his senior brother, he really couldn't think of anyone else. But it was hard for him to say this, so he pulled it back.
The topic said: "Your Majesty, since the Marquis of Jingbei has escaped safely, we should plan carefully. Didn't the intelligence say that Princess Diqing had promised that if the Marquis of Jingbei could return to the Hetao, she would join the Hetao? Didn't the three major
Although the aristocratic families are wary of each other, they are on the same page externally. If we can seize this opportunity and use the promise of Princess Diqing as a breakthrough, we can marry her to Hetao. I think King Weiyuan only has such a daughter.
If she marries the Marquis of Jingbei, the tacit understanding between the three aristocratic families will inevitably be broken. This will also make the relationship between Hetao and the three major aristocratic families more complicated."
Emperor Yinglie said with enlightenment: "What the Imperial Master means is that I will come forward to marry the Princess of the Qing Dynasty to the Marquis of Jingbei? This is a good idea, since the Marquis of Jingbei has not officially married."
"Your Majesty, you must not do it." Pang Ye quickly stopped him and said: "Of course it is a blessing for the Marquis of Jingbei to be given a marriage by the emperor, but he must not be given a marriage as his official wife. Although the Marquis of Jingbei is not married yet, he already has the one he likes.
Candidate."
Tie Zhen said with some surprise: "Is the Imperial Master talking about Qin Tianyi? Although she and Marquis Jingbei are considered a good match, if the marriage is granted by the emperor, then I don't think they dare to object."
Pang Ye shook his head: "Master Shangshu doesn't know something. Pang had a relationship with the senior officials of Hetao in the past, and he knew them fairly well. Marquis Jingbei was a very affectionate person, and Qin Tianyi was not only a childhood sweetheart with him, but also a close friend.
Hao Fei was married to Qin Shang's wife by fingertips during his lifetime. In Jingbeihou's heart, Qin Tianyi's status was second only to the emperor and the people of China. If the emperor forced the marriage, then not only Jingbeihou would refuse to obey, but also Qin Shang's wife.
And the repercussions in the six states of Hetao will definitely be huge."
