Chapter 115 The chess has been laid out, waiting for you to make your move!

Yang Duanhe immediately sat up in shock, his face became extremely serious, and so did Qiang Yu.

Yang Duanhe said in a condensed voice:

"Brother Hua, can't you say this nonsense?"

"It's not that I don't believe in Brother Hua's character, it's just that His Majesty personally announced his death back then. You said you're still alive, which makes me a little unbelievable."

"What basis do I have?"

"Based on just a few words from the old prime minister, you guessed that that person is alive. I'm not convinced by this reason."

Qiang Yu also looked at Hua Fu seriously.

This matter is no small matter.

There is no room for them to be careless.

Hua Fu looked at the two of them and said with a relaxed expression: "Of course what I said is true. The Tenth Young Master is indeed alive, and Your Majesty has met the Tenth Young Master many times."

"Where is the Tenth Young Master?" Qiang Yu asked excitedly.

"School room!"

"Prince's school?" Qiang Yu asked doubtfully.

Hua Fu shook his head.

"Xianyang School."

"The current Tenth Young Master's name is Qin Luoheng, and he is a historian in the school. However, I don't know what happened to the Tenth Young Master, but I am very sure that that person is the Tenth Young Master. Even Your Majesty thinks that he is the Tenth Young Master.

Young Master."

"but......"

"Your Majesty seems to have no idea of ​​acknowledgment."

Yang Duanhe frowned.

Puzzled:

"Since Your Majesty thinks that the man is the Tenth Young Master, why don't you recognize him? Doesn't the majestic Master Qin even have a chance to enter the prince's school?"

"And how do you know this?"

Hua Fu said:

"I actually didn't know. It was my son Hua Yu who recognized the Tenth Young Master some time ago, and then he was sure about it. At first, I sent people to protect the Tenth Young Master, and then His Majesty personally sent people, and then I was really sure.

"

"I don't know why Your Majesty doesn't recognize me."

"Currently, our Guanzhong clan does not have much say in the court. Perhaps His Majesty really took this into consideration and did not decide to recognize each other."

"Besides."

"Fusu has a high reputation in the court."

"The sudden announcement of the return of the Tenth Young Master will surely upset the hearts of the people in the court. Your Majesty is planning to raise troops against the Xiongnu and Baiyue, and does not want turmoil in the court."

"I think that might be the reason."

"But this is also our opportunity. The outside world does not know the news of the survival of the Tenth Young Master. Now that His Majesty has gradually relaxed the restrictions on our clan and raised troops twice, it is an opportunity for our clan to rise again."

"Waiting for peace between the north and the south."

"When."

"Perhaps the Tenth Young Master will reappear in front of the world."

"After raising troops twice, the strength of our Guanzhong clan has been greatly increased, and we have regained a certain say in the court. The tenth son may not be able to compete with the eldest son."

Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe looked at each other.

His expression was solemn.

They don't dare to be impulsive anymore.

The last impulsive act greatly damaged the vitality of all the major clans. If they get involved again, it would be better if they succeed. If they fail, there will be no way to make a comeback.

They can lose.

But they can't help but think about their own clan.

Yang Duanhe asked:

"Are you sure that His Majesty will really make the tenth son's survival known to the public?"

"His Majesty personally announced his death back then."

"in addition."

"How are you sure that His Majesty intends to let the Tenth Young Master compete for the heirloom? All of His Majesty's actions over the years have been to establish the prestige of the eldest Young Master Fusu. It would be too frivolous for His Majesty to change his mind just by the resurrection of one of his sons."

"and......"

"Since Your Majesty has allowed the Tenth Young Master to study in an ordinary school, does it mean that His Majesty wants the Tenth Young Master to live a stable and stable life?"

"Brother Hua, I wouldn't believe you unless it was me."

"It's just that the current situation dictates that we have to be cautious."

Qiang Xu also sighed and said:

"We have known each other for many years and we don't talk nonsense."

"You also know our current situation."

"Our Guanzhong clan was so majestic back then, but what about now? We are the only ones left in the court. As for the younger generation, the one with the highest official position is your eldest son, who is only a county magistrate.

"

"Among our clans, the Sima clan is the worst."

"How brave was the old general Sima Cuo back then? He served three generations of ancestors, and his grandson Sima Jin also made great military exploits. However, because of his involvement in Wu'an Jun's incident, Sima Jin was sentenced to death by the ancestor Zhaoxiang. Immediately afterwards, the Sima family was involved in

That matter has been suppressed by His Majesty again and again since then."

"Now you all know the current situation of the Sima family."

"There has been no one in the court for a long time. There is only one Sima Xin in the army. The people in Xianyang are all petty officials. If it weren't for our help, the Sima family wouldn't even be able to protect their home."

"Learning from the past!"

"A clan like the Sima clan has suffered a direct loss of family fortunes due to two mistakes. How can we be the same? We really can't afford to be hurt."

Yang Duanhe let out a long sigh.

They have been trembling with fear over the years, fearing that they would make a mistake and be hated by His Majesty, and that the clan would be affected. As the heads of the family, they must consider the family.

They can't make any more mistakes.

And he is still involved in such a big thing as a dispute over reserves?

Huafu fell silent.

He did not want to tell others the news that the Tenth Young Master was alive because he was worried about the current situation. Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Their Washington government is destined to be tied to the Tenth Young Master.

But other clans are not.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became stagnant.

a long time.

Qiang Yu glanced at Hua Fu.

Sighed:

"Brother Hua, it's not that we don't want to follow him anymore, but no one knows His Majesty's thoughts now, and the Tenth Young Master has not shown up for a long time. We don't know what his abilities and character are. How can we dare to follow him?"

"Besides."

"The Tenth Young Master has passed away in the hearts of the people in the world. Your Majesty does not rectify his name. We are equivalent to supporting a "dead" person. This is really unjustifiable."

"Brother Hua, please forgive me for not obeying."

Yang Duanhe also said:

"Brother Hua, I can't follow either."

"Brother Hua is willing to inform us of secrets such as the establishment of an army, and he treats us sincerely. If there is any need from Washington or the Tenth Young Master in the future, Brother Hua can speak frankly. If you can take action, I, Yang, will definitely not refuse, but I can't accept the order now."

Hua Fu looked at the two of them and said nothing more.

Just said:

"It doesn't matter."

"I actually expected it."

"You should prepare well for what the old prime minister said about raising troops. This is a rare opportunity for our Guanzhong clan to turn around."

"The opportunity is truly rare."

Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Hua, for telling me. It's getting late. Brother Hua, please rest early. We'll leave first."

Finished.

Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe exited the lobby.

In the lobby.

Only one person from Huafu was left sitting upright.

a long time.

Hua Fu shook his head and sighed: "Ten Young Master, I have tried my best, but the current situation is like this, what can I do about it?"

Hua Yu entered the house.

He brought Hua Fu a cup of hot soup.

Shake his head slightly.

He actually expected the current situation.

The Guanzhong clan has finally recovered over the years, but Aweng hastily involved them in the fight for the heirloom. Isn't this pushing these clans to a dead end?

How dare they agree?

Qin Luoheng has not even decided on his status now. Who dares to take sides easily? Anyone with a little bit of judgment will not choose to follow him.

Aweng was still anxious.

Hua Fu took the hot soup, took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "You will write a letter to the parents of other clans later and tell them about your Majesty's plan to raise troops."

"Let them prepare."

Hua Yu was shocked.

Puzzled:

"Aweng, what are you doing?"

"Although the old prime minister told you this, he wanted you to spread the word. If His Majesty finds out about this and gets blamed, we can't afford it."

There was a hint of cunning in Hua Fu's eyes.

said:

"Do not worry."

"Your Majesty will not blame you."

"Do you really think the old prime minister would be so confused?"

"Old Prime Minister, I have served His Majesty for more than thirty years. I have never dealt with anything. How has such a big mistake ever happened?"

"In my opinion."

"This is His Majesty's will."

"It's just telling us through the words of the old prime minister."

"Your Majesty really wants to activate our Guanzhong clan, otherwise His Majesty's city will never be known to outsiders."

"Think about it for yourself. Since the founding of the country, Your Majesty has been striving to implement prefectures and counties and implement unified rule for the whole country. He has held so many court meetings, large and small. When has His Majesty ever taken the initiative to express his thoughts? It was only after the big meeting was over that Your Majesty spoke."

"Your Majesty did this intentionally."

"Your Majesty wants to see how much strength our Guanzhong clan has left. Maybe it's just for this southern and northern expedition, or maybe it's to evaluate the forces that can be gathered around the Tenth Young Master, or maybe both."

"How exactly, I can't guess."

"Now the general of the Northern Expedition has been decided, but the general of the Southern Expedition has not yet been decided. His Majesty informed us of this news in advance, maybe because he wanted us to fight for it."

"This time it seems to be the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, but it is actually a contest between the eldest son and the tenth son."

Think of this.

Huafu fell silent for a moment.

He felt as if he had transformed into a chess piece, placed on a chessboard. The eldest son and the tenth son seemed not to be involved in the game, but in fact they were possessed by the chess pieces. They were black and white, and His Majesty was the one playing the game.

The chessboard for the Southern and Northern Expeditions has been set.

The Guanzhong clan is centered on the tenth son, and the Chu clan, the original officials of the Six Kingdoms, is centered on the eldest son.

The war has not yet started.

But the news that His Majesty wanted to raise troops made both parties move.

In order to consolidate the leading position of the eldest son, the eldest son's camp will definitely do their best. On the tenth son's side, the Guanzhong clan may not really be for the tenth son, but they can only give everything they have for their own family.

Your Majesty has not decided yet.

But it has attracted both sides to move.

The essential.

Most people are unaware of it.

Even if someone guesses it, they can't back out.

They have no choice.

Hua Fu raised his head and looked sharply at the door. He even felt that every move he made was actually planned by His Majesty.

This frightened Hua Fu.

Hua Yu saw Aweng's expression changed drastically and quickly asked with concern: "Aweng, what's wrong?"

Hua Fu came to his senses and drank the hot soup.

He said in a deep voice:

"nothing."

"After dealing with political affairs for a day, I am exhausted."

"You should send this news to other clans. I will go back and rest first."

Finished.

Hua Fu stood up tremblingly and walked towards his room.

Hua Yu frowned.

He clearly felt that Aweng seemed to have something on his mind, but since Aweng didn't say anything, it was hard for him to ask, so he could only bow and say: "Aweng, please have a good rest."

the other side.

Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe walked home.

The two walked side by side.

Qiang Yu looked around and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yang, what did you tell Brother Hua about the Tenth Young Master's resurrection from the dead?"

Yang Duanhe thought for a moment.

road:

"I think it's true. Although Washington has a close relationship with the Tenth Young Master, there is no need to lie on this matter."

"It's just that your Majesty wants to raise troops. Why did the old prime minister inform Huafu?"

"Hua Fu has not been in court for a long time, and the family is not prosperous. The eldest son is out of town, and the second son is serving in the prison. The other younger generations are basically not in the army, and they are unlikely to lead troops. There are not many clans in Guanzhong in the middle of the court.

Why did the old prime minister tell Hua Fu?"

"Is it really related to the Tenth Young Master?"

Qiang Yu thought for a moment.

whispered:

"Maybe it's His Majesty's intention?"

"Hua Fu said earlier that the old prime minister suggested to His Majesty that the Guanzhong clan should be reused."

"At that time, the Guanzhong clan basically surrounded the Tenth Young Master, and the closest relationship to the Tenth Young Master besides the Mi family was the Hua family. Due to Yangquan Jun, all the Mi family members basically took refuge with the eldest son, so there was only one Xianyang Hua family left.

.”

"Your Majesty used the old Prime Minister to tell Huafu about the army, and then asked him to relay it to us. Perhaps he was testing our Guanzhong clan to see how much support our Guanzhong clan has for the Tenth Young Master."

"Does Your Majesty really want the Tenth Young Master?"

"But it was His Majesty who personally announced the death of the Tenth Young Master back then. Now His Majesty turns around and wants to help the Tenth Young Master. However, His Majesty does not make the news of his resurrection from the dead public. Who dares to follow the Tenth Young Master so hastily?"

"And since the Tenth Young Master is not dead, what do we have experienced over the years?"

Yang Duanhe shook his head.

He couldn't figure out the reason either.

He said:

"One yard owned by a yard."

"Hua Fu said that the Tenth Young Master does not remember the past, which means that the Tenth Young Master does not say that he came back from the dead. At least he has really been missing for the past ten years and was just found suddenly."

"This is not something we can interfere with."

"What we should consider is this recruitment of troops!"

"If His Majesty intends to reuse us, this is our best chance, but I don't like being punished by the Huns."

"General Meng Tian is the leader over there. The Lantian camp has been training for several months. It is basically impossible for our disciples to enter now. Even if they enter, they will not be able to take on big responsibilities. The only hope is to conquer Baiyue in the south."

“But the environment in Baiyue is harsh.”

"The last time His Majesty forced a conquest, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the transportation of food and grass was not smooth, so he ordered the digging of Lingqual. Moreover, we Guanzhong children have basically never been to the south and are not accustomed to the climate there. We want to do something there.

It is not an easy task."

"But we have no choice."

"If you go north, basically stand aside."

"If we don't go to the south, we will miss out on the two wars. If our major clans want to rise again, they can only rely on war at this stage. We have no way out."

Qiang Xu smiled bitterly and said:

"Perhaps this is your Majesty's true intention."

"Old Prime Minister, Huafu is just a messenger."

"His Majesty has given us the power to decide whether to let our children go on an expedition. Going to the south will definitely cause heavy casualties, but there will be a chance to rise again. If we don't go, it will basically declare that the future of our major clans is over."

"Your Majesty is asking us to make a decision!"

Yang Duanhe also fell silent.

What they decided was not just whether or not to go to war, but the lives of their own children.
