Chapter 271 Unexpected success and changes

Originally, at this point, everything was going smoothly.

On the one hand, Shi Yu Hengjia's pursuit of Xie Yuan's identity temporarily suppressed the emperor's efforts. It became an unimportant matter.

On the other hand, a letter written by Shen Liuzhen was like throwing a stone into a deep pool with undercurrents, instantly tearing apart the calm on the surface and revealing the true nature of the fight for life inside. .

The various forces were intertwined and the superficial harmony could no longer be maintained. Within a month, two senior officials in Beijing were killed and one was injured.

As a result, there has been a sharp increase in the number of fights and injuries caused by people meeting on the street over a few quarrels.

In the past, most of the Xianbei people bullied the Han people on the streets.

When the trouble came to Tingwei, Lord Tingwei, who had been involved in three dynasties, adhered to the principle that Xianbei aristocrats and Han people were superior to each other. No matter how difficult the case was, he could handle it easily.

But things are different now.

Those who died all had backgrounds, and they were all caused by Xianbei people fighting against each other.

For a time, Mr. Tingwei, who was already old, felt that his life was about to be ruined when he saw Wuyang Wuyang, the person who came to report the case, come to make trouble, and come to say hello and put pressure every day.

He simply reported this to the emperor and retired from his position as Tingwei due to illness.

This result was something Shen Liuzhen did not expect...

He originally wanted to get rid of Lord Tingwei and replace him with someone who was fair and reliable, but he was too busy with the important affairs of Mu He's family to take care of him.

But who would have thought that just because he had fabricated a letter and made a mess of things, he would have to retreat on his own?

Then, when no one dared to take over the quagmire of Tingwei Yamen, Shen Liuzhen recommended to His Majesty a lonely minister who had no in-laws and no reason to be friends with him - that man was a Han, he had no connections with anyone, and the only one behind him was the emperor... …

That was really perfect for what they wanted to do.

Tingwei is in charge of criminal law. In normal times, this position would never be filled by a Han.

Shen Liuzhen did not expect this result. He even felt that God was helping him with this rhythm of his wishes coming true.

And he also seized the opportunity to put pressure on the frightened generals, telling them that the emperor already knew the inside story and was about to take action, and it was time to take a final stand.

If you stand on the right side of current affairs, you will be able to live in the future; if you stand on the wrong side, your whole family will die without a burial place.

With his ability to read people's hearts, his friendly face, and his sharp tongue, Shen Liuzhen was able to send several witnesses to Prince Chongsu.

It snowed a few more times, and as the New Year approached, Prince Chongsu finally cleared up the case of the battlefield defeat, and also dug up the evidence that Prince Muhe and his party colluded with Zong Ai to conceal the cause of Emperor Taiwu's death and usurp power. , carving up the national treasury to enrich one's own pockets and a series of other charges were revealed.

Then His Majesty issued an order to list more than a dozen of his crimes and make them public, any one of which was enough to be executed.

The whole country was in uproar.

Just when Shen Liuzhen thought that all the righteousness and truth had been taken care of, the next step was that His Majesty decreed that all the rebellious parties would be wiped out with thunderous means.

Suddenly, a battle report came from the military town in the south, saying that the Song army was attacking the city and another battle was about to begin.

At that time, Shen Liuzhen was standing on the side of the court, next to Ulei. After hearing this, his big eyes were stunned and confused...

Did the Song army attack the city again?

…

In fact, it's not surprising that he was surprised, because this matter was originally a conspiracy by Yi Tu.

Yitu was overwhelmed by the pressure from both sides of He'an and the emperor. The 300,000-strong alliance was now divided to follow the people of He'an and then surrendered.

After all, if a war breaks out, he can only control more than 80,000 troops.

Eighty thousand people... can at most be mobilized to attack the palace city and die together with Ulei. If he cannot hold up the banner and becomes emperor, he will be destroyed.

Yitu originally wanted to persuade He'an, but the two brothers worked together to demarcate their own territory and kill the emperor first.

However, the struggle for position is a struggle for interests. Unless he gives up the leadership of the two military forces to He'an, it will not be possible.

In the military camp in the fiefdom of Prince Muhe:

"He'an, you are so confused. The emperor has already issued a decree. You and I are both guilty, and there is only one way to die. It is now, and you are still confronting me?" Yitu faced He'an in front of everyone.

said angrily.

"I'm facing you. Everyone knows that when my father was alive, he cared about me the most. The military power should be mine, and they should all follow me. Third brother, do you really think that no one else knows about your thoughts?

Right after my father died, you anxiously wanted to kill me and replace me, are you qualified?"

"I am the eldest son, and I am not qualified. How can you, a child, be qualified? He'an, this is a major matter that concerns many people, not our own family! When will you become sensible?"

"Hahaha! You have been following my father for many years, and you have always been as timid and timid as a mouse. Have you ever made any extraordinary military exploits? I am not sensible? I only know that people who have no strength should not think that they are not good enough.

You should have the right!"

After hearing He'an's words, Yitu's face suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.

He is as timid as a rat, which is what Prince Muhe said about him when he was still alive.

That's right, the reason why his father likes He'an and dislikes him is because he is too cautious and cares about his life on the battlefield. He never does anything like charging into battle.

What he is good at is conspiracy. Head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield is not his strong point. He is afraid of death... He cannot be brave.

But that idiot He'an is different, he is reckless and daring. Although he has never led an army or been on the battlefield, his personality is more similar to Prince Mu He.

Moreover, what the Xianbei people have always admired is force. For example, Emperor Taiwu was worshiped by everyone and was called the God of War. He was a figure who could stand in front of everyone, charge into battle without difficulty, and make the enemy sound frightened.

He Yitu...Although he is older...but because of this, he is looked down upon by many Xianbei generals.

Since his father died suddenly, they supported him because He'an was not a good choice and they chose him as a last resort...

If it weren't for the fact that they wouldn't get any benefits if they surrendered... they would have dispersed by now.

A plate of loose sand, a plate of loose sand.

Yitu sighed, helpless.

He couldn't bring these people together or convince He'an to obey. So, he moved his mind to the south.

Since you can't become stronger yourself and are in ruins, you should try to find a way to make the emperor unable to become stronger and unable to use his hands to deal with them.

So, he contacted He Languang, who was guarding a military town in the south, and asked him to lead a group of cavalry to invade the Southern Song Dynasty border.

If in normal times... according to the courage of the Southern Song Dynasty, if a small group of cavalry invaded, they would just ignore it as a matter of routine.

But this time, didn't the Southern Song Dynasty win a big victory? They counterattacked directly...
