Chapter 16 Above the Wen family and the Leng family, the first and the auxiliary retreat
"Is time walking in this deeper and deeper autumn, or is this deeper and deeper autumn being taken away by the non-stop time?"
In the most majestic Imperial City of Yunqin in the world, a foreign poet who had just arrived was lying drunk in a deep alley, looking at the old elm trees protruding from the houses, and uttering such nonsense.
In the eyes of a down-and-out wandering poet like him who paid no attention to court affairs, this year's autumn of the huge Yunqin Empire flew by in time, and was no different from previous autumns.
However, for those who are worried about national affairs, the autumn of this year in the empire is particularly thrilling.
In the farthest west of the empire, after the reorganization of Biluoling's 100,000 frontier troops, there were still 60,000 left. The position of General Zhenxi was temporarily vacant. In the eyes of most Yunqin officials, after quelling the chaos,
Nanshan Mu, who played a big role in the war and had an important position in the Biluo Border Army, would at least replace Deputy Commander Cheng Yu.
However, for some unknown reason, the Imperial City of Zhongzhou did not issue such an order. Instead, it transferred An Xuting, the governor of Linchuan Province, to replace Cheng Yu. The position of General Zhenxi was still vacant.
.And when Nanshan asked to resign and return to his old age in the evening, Zhongzhou Imperial City did not ask him to stay, but quickly agreed.
Before the founding of the Yunqin Empire, the old man surnamed Huang, who started out as a wealthy man in Qiantang and used all his wealth to build an arsenal to support the late emperor in resisting foreign enemies, was heard by Cang Yue and Li Ku, the invincible national advisor of the Damang Dynasty.
A few days after Purgatory Mountain teamed up to kill him, he closed his eyes forever.
Only the real dignitaries knew that when Wenren Cang Yue disappeared from Biluo Mausoleum, the old emperor of Da Mang had already drafted an edict to pass the throne to his student Zhantai Qiantang, and Da Mang Wudi's
Li Kuze has already begun to flee. As long as Li Ku escapes and lives in this world, no one in Da Mang will dare to overturn the edict of the old emperor Zhan Tai Mang.
However, even though Li Ku had wandered to the border of Da Mang, he still fell into the siege of Purgatory Mountain. Li Ku was invincible in Da Mang, but the leader of Purgatory Mountain could not keep him, but he could not bear to face the enemy head-on.
The price... coupled with the defeat of Wenren Cangyue, Li Ku and Zhan Taimang who defeated everyone in the world, it was doomed.
These real dignitaries of Yunqin also knew very well that the current emperor just wanted the prince to go to the west to accumulate some military exploits, and officially let the prince appear on the stage of Yunqin. The position of General Zhenxi was supposed to establish prestige and authority for the prince.
Although he had established his own military background, no one thought that Wenren Cang Yue could kill so many holy masters in a row, nor did he expect that the prince would die in Biluo Mausoleum. Therefore, even if it was for emotional reasons, General Zhenxi
I'm afraid that position will be vacant for a long time. Moreover, An Xuting is from the Huang family. Although such a transfer may temporarily allow An Xuting to take a top position in Biluoling, in fact it
This is equivalent to dispatching the largest force of the Huang family after the death of the old man surnamed Huang, clearing the way for the subsequent transfer of power.
…
In this eventful autumn, new news came from Da Mang. The old emperor Zhan Tai Mang was on his deathbed and was unconscious. Da Mang was preparing for a funeral. According to the imperial edict, Da Mang's throne was passed to his nephew Zhan Tai Lu Ji.
.
Wen Ren Cang Yue, a rebel general of the Yun Qin Empire, was named Grand Marshal of Damang Army and Horses, and held the military seal of Damang Seventh Army.
This news was different from other news. It was deliberately spread quickly. The whole Yunqin was in an uproar. Those who originally idolized General Wenren did not believe that General Wenren, who had great military exploits and supreme glory, would suddenly become a traitor.
The people who rebelled against the traitor all hated Wen Ren Cang Yue and wished they could eat his flesh.
Although the distant Da Mang has always been Yun Qin's biggest enemy, and because of Wen Ren Cang Yue's relationship, the situation will definitely become more tense and bad.
But this is not the issue that Yunqin's powerful people are most concerned about.
What they are most eagerly waiting for...is what will happen after the space behind the heavy curtain is vacated.
According to the previous situation, the Wen family, which has deep roots in the officialdom, should sit there.
However, the previous stalemate that ended with the old man surnamed Huang closing his eyes made the entire Yunqin court know that Emperor Yunqin had not only reached the limit of his patience with Qingluan Academy, but also that the nine dark clouds were pressing in front of him.
The patience of the heavy curtains has reached its limit.
In this situation of near-breakup, many people speculated that Emperor Yunqin would cancel the curtain and no longer allow people to sit in it.
In this way, one of the nine positions selected and determined by Emperor Qin and Dean Zhang will always be missing. In the future, there may be even fewer.
However, on the day when the down-and-out poet was lying drunkenly talking in the alley, an order came from the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, which once again shocked the entire Yunqin court!
Emperor Yunqin did not cancel that position as many people speculated, but the person who replaced the Huang family was not the Wen family that almost everyone had previously identified, but was in charge of the Department of Internal Affairs in recent years, but his power and support have changed.
The Leng family is obviously inferior to the Wen family!
Failure when you are about to succeed will make people more desperate and angry.
However, what made all the smart officials feel even more chilled was that when faced with this final result, the Wen family members were very restrained and did not show the slightest rebound. This unusual calmness made these smart officials even more...
Officials can be sure that something more thrilling will definitely happen in this autumn in Zhongzhou Imperial City.
…
…
In the political hall of Yunqin Palace, the broken pure gold dragon chair has been replaced with a new one.
However, Sun Jinse, the eldest emperor of Yunqin who was wearing a dragon robe, was not sitting. He was just standing, facing the nine layers of curtains and the silver-robed Zhou Shoufu standing in front of him.
His eyes were all bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not closed his eyes for countless nights. However, his figure was more upright than ever before, and the aura on his body was more majestic than ever before.
"I just wanted Wen Ren Cang Yue to hand over Biluo Ling and let him take care of himself in his old age...but he killed my son and a future virtuous king!"
"As a Yunqin native, he actually rebelled against the country and commanded the Da Mang army."
Looking at everyone in front of him, this emperor with the greatest power in the world said word by word: "I want to march south... I want to cross Qianxia Mountain, annihilate Damang, and kill this traitor!"
No lightning was emitted from this emperor with a unique bloodline of cultivation.
However, as soon as the word "Southern Expedition" was uttered, the entire empty political hall was like a thunderous roar.
Behind nine layers of curtains, the place where the old man surnamed Huang used to be remained absolutely quiet.
Everyone else in the hall knows that no matter what happens next, Leng Zhennan of the Leng family sitting inside will remain absolutely quiet and will not make a sound like the old man surnamed Huang before.
In a curtain next to Leng Zhennan, an old figure lowered his head. Just with this posture, the rest of the people knew that he would not make a sound, because the old man in this curtain also had the surname Wen.
people.
Under the absolute silence of these two curtains, the two people in the other two curtains were about to make a sound. However, at this moment, Changsun Jinse raised his head slightly and said slowly: "Earlier, you advised me not to kill Lin Xi.
, don’t draw Qingluan Academy out of Yun Qin Qingxiu, saying that the culprit is only Wenren Cangyue, and if you want to deal with it, you must first deal with Wenren Cangyue... I can listen to your advice, but if you even dissuade me from this matter, I
There will be absolutely no setbacks.”
After a slight pause, Changsun Jinse looked at another turbulent curtain and mocked: "Qianxia Frontier Army General Hu Piyi has expressed his absolute allegiance to me and will become my rebellious general, commanding
The Southern Expedition Army."
"What!"
Behind the curtain, a shocked and angry voice suddenly sounded.
This sound shocked the hearts of everyone in the entire hall again, and at the same time, the entire hall fell into temporary silence.
Zhou Shoufu, who was standing in the hall with his head bowed, raised his head.
He looked at the emperor with bloodshot eyes in his heart, but he was more majestic than ever.
Letting the greatest power cultivated by the Hu family escape the control of the Hu family...replacing the Huang family with the absolute loyalty of the Leng family...these were things that he should have known, but he had no idea that these things were happening.
Wen Ren Cang Yue's fear lies not only in his cultivation, but also in his terrifying strategy, ability to command troops, and ruthless temperament. If it weren't for people like the Sirius Guards and Cheng Yu who were completely loyal to him,
They can all be discarded. Looking at the entire process in Biluo Mausoleum, it is impossible for Zhongzhou Imperial City, Qingluan College, and Zhantai Mang to suffer such a failure.
He knew that Hu Piyi of the Qianxia Border Army was also a rare general who could be seen in a century... However, after crossing Qianxia Mountain, this would no longer be a battle between two generals, but a battle between the two countries' national strength.
He didn't think Yun Qin could win such a war.
Just like his previous break with Qingluan Academy, this was also an imperial order that he could not agree to and support.
"Your Majesty, the situation of the Biluo border army is not stable. Previously, a large amount of troops were consumed at the Longshe border. In recent years, the Damang dynasty has had good weather and its national power has been at its peak. Previously, Zhantaimang even had a large amount of surplus food for large-scale army mobilization...Damang's army
, the combat power is at its peak." He knew that those behind the curtain also needed to listen to his voice at this time, so he spoke up, "I believe that the southern expedition at this time may not be effective."
"So how long do you think it will take?"
Changsun Jinse looked at the chief minister who was closest to him and the most important minister who also had strong influence and power in Yunqin, but there was a look of anger and ridicule on his face: "If
The weather has always been going well in Da Mang, so will we keep waiting? Wait until the traitor who killed the prince dies? Da Mang's national power is strong, but with the vast land and resources of Yunqin, how powerful is the national power of Yunqin? Don't you usually rely on
Qingluan College, do you think it can't work without Qingluan College? Since Qingluan College and Purgatory Mountain already have a lot of hatred, how to let them contribute more and let them show their role is what you need to consider.
"
Zhou Shoufu felt even colder. He took a deep breath and wanted to say something more, but Changsun Jinse sneered heavily before he could speak: "Zhou Shoufu... I use you as my chief assistant not only because of you.
Talent, and because you are absolutely loyal to me... But what about you? How attentive are you to me! Don’t think that I haven’t found out that the female violinist is yours!”
Zhou Shoufu's face turned pale slightly. He looked up at Changsun Jinse. He knew that doubt was like a poisonous weed growing in his heart. If it had taken root, it would be impossible to pull it out. He looked at Changsun Jinse and looked at
From the anger and fanaticism in this emperor's eyes, he knew that this emperor's mind had been completely distorted by personal ambition, desire, grief, and anger. He knew that any excuses he made would be useless.
"A chief assistant who is not loyal to me...what's the use?"
Changsun Jinse slowly sat back on the pure gold dragon chair, looked at the graceful and elegant chief assistant, and said slowly: "I will let Chief Wen take over your position as chief assistant... If you still think that I am the emperor,
If you feel that there is still some affection between the monarch and his subjects, please resign yourself."
The silver shirt on Zhou Shoufu's body trembled slightly, not because of his own fate, but because of the fate of the entire Yunqin Empire.
He bowed slowly, saluted Emperor Yun Qin who was sitting on the dragon throne, and then silently stepped back and left.
On this autumn day in Yunqin... Zhou Shoufu, who was deeply loved by the people of Yunqin, resigned and returned to his old age, walking out of the cold and majestic palace in silence and loneliness.
