Chapter 1139: Wu brothers, King Wei sends troops, Huangfu is orthodox
When I came out of the palace, it was already dark. The surrounding area of the imperial city was of course heavily guarded. The Han Imperial Guards stood motionless like sculptures. They looked at the commoner who walked out of the palace gate without squinting, as if there was no trace of him.
See him the same.
Above the night, a crescent moon hung, and the moonlight was dim. However, under the imperial city, Su Yan had a look of relief on his face. He looked back at the towering imperial city of Han, and let out a sigh of relief.
tone.
After a question and answer session with Emperor Wang Yu of Han, it was clear that His Majesty the Emperor of Han had the intention of letting him return to Henan, which was to make him serve as the Han's internal correspondent for Huangfu Guyuan's forces in Henan.
For Su Yan, this was not something to be happy about, because upon reflection, it seemed to be a poisonous fruit, and it might even be highly poisonous.
Although the fruit is a good fruit and looks quite sweet, it doesn't necessarily taste good.
First of all, if he returns south from Yecheng, whether he can gain the trust of Huangfu Guyuan and his subordinates is a question.
After all, although he came from Henan, he was not from Huangfu Guyuan, but from the serious Da Cang court.
During the battle with Tianjing, he fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty.
However, as the remaining forces of Huangfu Mingzhao's court were absorbed by Huangfu Guyuan, their family also turned to Huangfu Guyuan.
Although his father died of depression within two years after the Battle of Tianjing, their family was deeply rooted and had some roots in Henan.
But his father is still gone after all, and he is no longer as prosperous as he was back then.
Thinking of his father, Su Yan felt mixed emotions in his heart.
In the last stage of his father's life, he did not have the opportunity to observe filial piety in front of his bed, which ultimately became a regret in his life.
After returning to Henan, the next journey will definitely be difficult and difficult. If he is not careful, he will be accused of collaborating with the enemy. Such a result is not what he wants to see.
Secondly, being a disciple who betrays the emperor always feels a little uncomfortable. If he was given an official position in the Han Dynasty, he would still have such a big obstacle in his heart. What if he returned to Henan and lived in Canglu, but in the end he committed betrayal and treason?
If something spreads out, it will always be bad for your reputation.
However, after thinking about it, Su Yan found that he had no more choices.
If the Emperor of Han summoned him like this this time, then, I am afraid that he would have no room to survive in Yecheng.
If he dares to refuse the emperor's request, even if the emperor himself doesn't care, there will be countless people underneath who will take this matter to heart.
On the other hand, although he can endure a miserable life for a while, deep down in his heart, Su Yan really doesn't want to live like this for a long time. He became famous at a young age and possesses great talents, how could he really be willing to live in such mediocrity his whole life?
In addition, my wife and her family are all in Henan, so it is always a good thing to be able to return to my hometown.
Another point is that what Su Yan said to the Han Emperor was true to his heart. He really felt that if the current situation continued to develop, it would be just a matter of time for the Han Dynasty to flatten all the forces and unify the eighteen realms of the world.
A matter of time.
The power of Huangfu Guyuan, who was originally able to compete with him or even slightly win, was seriously lacking in stamina and even began to weaken. On the other hand, after Wang Yu occupied Hedong, his power continued to grow, one was declining and the other was growing. The gap was not small.
In this situation, Su Yan can only make this plan temporarily.
Wang Yu, probably knowing Su Yan's financial constraints and predicament, rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver. The reward was heavy in his arms, but Su Yan's steps were extremely brisk.
By the time he returned to his rental place, Su Yan had already thought about how to explain to Huangfu Guyuan and how to face the questioning from the Henan courtiers after returning to Henan.
…
"Your Majesty, that Su Yan took the ultimatum issued by the Ministry of Rites and returned home in a carriage!"
In the palace of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yu received a report from Zhao Gao: "Before Su Yan left, he reported generously to his family and Wu Zhi, his benefactor, and hired two followers in the city as guards.
..."
"Who is Wu Zhi?"
Wang Yu keenly caught the unnecessary meaning in Zhao Gao's words, so he asked.
If he were just an ordinary commoner, Zhao Gao would not specifically mention his name in the report. There is no need.
"Your Majesty, Wu Zhi has a younger brother named Wu Song, who serves as a general of the infantry under General Su Dingfang!" Zhao Gao explained.
The brother of a partial general appeared next to the person that their majesty was paying attention to. People like Zhao Gao, with such an identity, always have to think more about it unconsciously.
In particular, Wu Zhi seems to be leaving Yecheng to return home in the near future. As soon as Su Yan left Yecheng, he left Yecheng right after him. Could he not think too much about it?
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality, just to prevent there being some evil hand behind this.
How can people with their status dare to believe in coincidence?
It turns out to be Wu Dalang!
When Wu Zhi was mentioned, Wang Yu really didn't react at first. This person was Wu Dalang. Although Wu Dalang was a well-known figure, it was Wu Dalang who was famous, not Wu Zhi.
Moreover, for such a character, Wang Yu certainly could not have had nothing to do to pay attention to him before!
"Then let Luo Wang check it out!"
Like Zhao Gao, Wang Yu doesn't believe there are so many coincidences in the world.
Although Wu Song's status was not high, he was just a partial general among the big men, but at such a critical moment, he had an entanglement with Su Yan, and he was afraid that more trouble would arise out of thin air.
After all, you don't need to think about it to know that when Su Yan returns to the south, everything he has done in Yecheng in the past few years will be thoroughly investigated by the Nanbei Yamen.
Moreover, Wang Yu didn't hope that there was something behind this that he didn't know about.
Speaking of which, it is also true that one is too clever to be fooled by one's cleverness.
These two people would never have thought that Wu Dalang's appearance was really just a coincidence.
With his appearance, it was really hard to get around in the market, and his stall was pushed to a corner. This was Su Yan's stall as his companion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although he has a younger brother who is a partial general, he is still far away in Shenglandao. Not to mention, within Yecheng, which is the capital of the Han Dynasty, what
There are all the characters, and Wu Dalang is not the kind of person who uses Wu Song's name to show off.
The reason why he wanted to leave Yecheng was because business in Yecheng was not easy to do. Moreover, he had the idea of returning home just because he got a wife by chance not long ago.
"However, since Su Yan can appreciate the kindness of lodging and boarding, I hope he can live up to my high expectations!" Wang Yu said lightly and ordered: "It is convenient to pass on the checkpoints along the way!"
"yes!"
…………
The first year of the Yuan Dynasty, December.
Winter in the North has always been extremely cold.
Here in Yecheng, it is another winter snow, and everything is silent.
"Your Majesty, slow down, there are snowflakes on your clothes!" Zhao Gao held up a big umbrella and followed step by step, reminding him a little hurriedly.
Wang Yu's pace slowed down only when he entered Wenyuan Pavilion. Zhao Gao put away his umbrella and hurriedly helped to dust some snowflakes on the emperor's robe.
The real title of Cabinet Grand Master is Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Bachelor, and Wenyuan Pavilion is actually the place where cabinet ministers work.
"Okay, take care of it yourself!" Wang Yu pointed at Zhao Gao's eunuch's robe, which was mostly covered in snow.
Inside Wenyuan Pavilion, there was an orderly scene. Due to the weather, it was less busy and more leisurely. All the officials who passed by put down their affairs and saluted.
Although there are currently only five bachelors, it does not mean that there are only five officials in Wenyuan Pavilion.
There must always be some subordinate officials or minor officials below them to handle some chores for them. It is impossible for them, the cabinet bachelors, to do every trivial matter themselves.
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, two great scholars, Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Bin, were discussing something. When they learned that the emperor was coming in person, they hurried out to greet him.
The cabinet says there are five bachelors in total, but in fact, there are only two of them permanently stationed in Wenyuan Pavilion.
The remaining three have other official positions and are very busy every day. It is impossible for them to spend all day in Wenyuan Pavilion like these two people.
Especially Guan Zhong and Zhao Anling, one of them is the official minister in charge of important reform matters, and the other is the prime minister who is the head of hundreds of officials. They will definitely not be idle.
"No gift!"
"Cook tea for Your Majesty!" Zhang Bin ordered his subordinates.
"Sit!" Wang Yu sat down with his horse and golden sword, motioned to Yao, Guo and Zhang, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Bin chuckled lightly and said, "Lei Wanjun, the general of Yannan Road March, reported that Huangfu Guhan sent troops to the south of Heyang, with 50,000 troops and horses, moving at starry night!"
After the previous joint attack by Tianshi Dao, King Wei and the Zhenxi Army, Huangfu Guyuan was located on Henan Road. After that battle, Huangfu Guyuan lost Heyang Road in the hands of Tianshi Dao and King Wei, and in
In the hands of the Zhenxi Army, Liang Pass was lost.
As for Heyang Dao, it is now almost divided into two. The northern part has fallen into the hands of King Wei, while the southern part has fallen into the control of Tianshi Dao.
However, due to the incident involving the Nangong family, the originally good situation between the two families was ruined, and they were unable to strike while the iron was hot.
Moreover, because of the assassination of Xuanyuan Huang, Prince Jing, who thought he saw an opportunity, was like a chicken with blood. He sent out all his troops and horses, just to make up his mind to take advantage of this.
And even now, Xuanyuan Huang Zhengshang's poison has only been suppressed and has not been truly resolved.
The poison that was regarded as the biggest trump card by the world's second killer was only partially poisoned, but it is not so easy to resolve!
After the storm, Dahong and others used a tactic to cheat and finally managed to get Prince Jing, who was already very proud of the assassination of Xuanyuan Huang, to take action and prepare to give them a cruel blow to solve this problem.
crisis.
But because he was secretly interfered by Wang Yu, his success failed in the end.
As for this kind of thing, there must be one thing and one thing at a time. After calming down, Prince Jing and the others will naturally not give them a second chance.
At this stage, the gap in hard power between the two sides began to appear.
The more the fight continues, the more unsustainable it will be for Tianshi Dao!
During the enthronement ceremony of Zhao Kuangyin, among the external heavenly masters, the Celestial Masters were relatively the most effective. In fact, in addition to watching the ceremony, these people wanted to get help from Zhao Kuangyin, an ally.
At this time, Huangfu Guyuan was also stimulated by the fact that Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Originally, according to his idea, not only to sweep the entire world, but at least to wipe out most of the forces, at this time, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor with his supreme majesty and military exploits, using this method to confirm his reputation as orthodox.
.
Huangfu Guyuan actually cares a little about the name Zhengtong.
If he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor after the death of Huangfu Mingzhao, there would always be a stain on his victory in the history books that cannot be washed away.
But nowadays, Da Cang is full of cows, ghosts, and snakes. If he can wipe out these rebellious and traitors with his own strength, then he can recreate Da Cang, the master of ZTE, and build this beautiful country by himself.
In the future, even if he waits for a hundred years and meets his ancestors, they will not be able to say anything, but they still have to praise him.
Otherwise, why did Prince Jing want to form an alliance with Wang Yu in the first place to form a powerful duo?
Do you really think that Prince Jing can’t see Wang Yu’s wild ambition? Or do you think that all the people under Prince Jing are just losers and don’t have anyone with a bright mind?
Of course, there is a reason why Wang should look at eloquence, and the other party’s full diplomatic ability is indeed not just for words!
But on the other hand, King Jing at that time also wanted to use this method to stabilize Wang Yu, who was no longer under his control, and give him time to Jingping Tianshi Dao, King Wei and Zhenxi Army, and then
, marched north with a million troops to pacify Da Cang.
It's just that Prince Jing got away with it in the end.
He overestimated his own strength. At the same time, what he didn't expect was that the Zhennan Army, which had bowed its head on the surface, really didn't take him seriously at all and didn't send out a single soldier.
Although the original King Jing knew that the Zhennan Army was not convinced, he originally thought that the other party should show off! Even if it was impossible to go all out, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would have to be sent. This idea was realized!
After all, Huangfu Mingzhao is still alive, and his bloodline is still alive!
At that time, although the small imperial court of Hexi Road had not yet been established, the senior officials of Da Cang also knew that a young prince was sent away by the old prince, and the orthodox bloodline of the royal family was still there!
As long as that little highness is still there, he is the most orthodox bloodline of the royal family!
Some people may not care about this, but in the eyes of some people, the word orthodoxy is more important than anything else.
Now that the most orthodox bloodline of the royal family is gone, the Zhennan Army may not be so perfunctory with Prince Jing. But precisely because the most orthodox bloodline is still there, the Zhennan Army doesn't take Prince Jing seriously at all.
Don't think that just because the generals in the four towns have military power, they are all ambitious people. Although there are not so many Dukes of Zhou in this fashion, there are not so many Wang Mang.
These people may not be die-hardly loyal people, but they are not completely loyal either.
Otherwise, Prince Jing would not have valued the name of orthodoxy so much, and would not have tried every means to hunt down Huangfu Mingzhao's bloodline.
As long as that person is still there, it is impossible for those who have Cangshi's heart to completely fall to him. Many old bones in the royal family will not recognize him. The longer the inheritance, the more attention is paid to rules and orthodoxy.
The same was true for the rebellion in Liangguan.
If it weren't for the small court in Hexi Province and the emperor was still alive, how could that rebellion have occurred?
