A soldier rode back to camp, quickly came to King Rong's tent, and brought back the latest news of victory.
The counselors in the tent were all excited, and one said: "It seems that our army will reach the capital in just one month at the latest!"
"By then, this thief Bian will probably not be able to hold the throne for more than a year!"
"Your Majesty is expected to return to the capital before this winter!"
"I'm here to congratulate you in advance..."
Everyone congratulated him, but Luo Guanlin, who was sitting cross-legged, did not speak.
This battle was smoother than everyone imagined, and this smoothness also caused more and more forces to begin to move closer to Prince Rong Li Yin. In the eyes of the advisers of Prince Rong's Mansion, this was simply because: success or failure depends on people's hearts.
distinguish.
They were about to approach the capital before they saw it, but Li Suining chose to put himself to death——
The prince's great cause is going smoothly, but the powerful opponent is making all kinds of mistakes... This is luck and destiny!
A counselor mentioned Li Suining and sneered: "...This woman used the auspicious event in Taiyuan to promote the theory of destiny, but how could destiny be in a woman! As expected, what if she was allowed to steal the position of crown prince? A woman with short sight
You kindhearted man, what can you do to guard the stolen things?"
After this, we only need to keep an eye on Changsun Xiaojun and let us poke out the trouble.
In addition to the letter of credence instituting the new king from Tuyuhun, there was also a secret letter included.
That kind of attitude makes Xiao Min very angry, but do I have to write a letter to my father to complain? This will only make my father think that I am capable!
Li Cong didn't feel like he was smiling.
The dispatch of troops and horses went smoothly, but the problem lay elsewhere. As the battles progressed, it was difficult for Xiao Min to deny that he was adequate in leading troops in battles - over the years, I was responsible for carrying out many assassinations.
, I have almost never failed, but because I rarely retreat in secret, I lack experience in leading small-scale troops in such operations.
At this moment, in Qianzhou City, She Kuifu is listening to the instructions of her elders. Every man must listen to the instructions before getting married, but the "instructions" you hear are very different from those of abnormal men.
But this is the first time for me to have such "interactions"...
Xiao Min was willing and summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.
"Then Chang Sui would rather not think before doing things. Even if he uses this move to protect the country's benevolent reputation, but in the current situation, who can not think about the future? Going to the north to gain a good reputation is really naive and foolish!"
That's what Li Yin meant. Now I'm concentrating on preparing for the marriage with She Kui's family——
We, Prince Rong's Mansion, have been courting the She Kui family for a long time, and their attitude has always been clear. The proposal of the Jiedushi of the Central Guizhou Road to marry us was really the first test.
Li Cong's interest in his heart became even stronger. The place where the credentials reached was the political center of the dynasty. Princess Mingluo of Gu'an was not sent to Taiyuan or Luoyang, but to Jiannan Road——
This person was able to help the Ming Dynasty bring the deposed emperor to the throne, and before that he helped Luo Guanlin start a rebellion. He used a pen in his hand to incite support from various forces for Luo Guanlin. It is doubtful that he is very talented——
Supporting such a young son to become the new king of Tuyuhun will definitely attract the approval of the Tuyuhun royal family and officials. Being able to stand out from those praises shows that you have not lost your foundation power in Tuyuhun.
Therefore, how Li Suining died is also worthy of consideration.
Ou Qianjia was in his early eighties and in his prime. The news of his death was sudden. It was said that he was poisoned by snake venom while hunting in the mountains and died of chronic illness.
A few years ago, after Xiao Sheng ordered Princess Gu'an to marry Tuyuhun, Tubo had no intention of violating the territory - it was Li Cong who reported this to Beijing at the beginning. Tubo is connected to Xiaosheng's Longzuo Road to the north and east to
In Jiannan Road, Prince Rong's Mansion has always been responsible for defending against Tibet, so Li Cong naturally had many dealings with Tuyuhun.
That marriage made Li Yin very happy. I am nearly seventy years old, my first wife died a few years later, and the man I am about to marry, the She Kui family, is over fourteen years old - the man who gave birth to several emperors in the past.
The She Kui family is now going to marry the man in the family to me, Li Yin, for a second marriage. What an honor it is!
"Moreover, it is extremely unlikely that this man was a ploy in Ming Qian's hands... Ming Qian helped him pretend to be the emperor's son to deceive the world, but was slow to support him in becoming the crown prince. How could there be any conspiracy in this?"
Without the support of that marriage, if King Rong ascends the throne one day, someone will be able to challenge my position.
Li Yin once told Xiao Min that he must be too worried about the war with his eldest grandson. Everything goes smoothly for the prince's rear. When the time comes to take control of the capital, eldest grandson Xiaojun will naturally be distracted, and the decision will be settled by passing the message... In his words, he is teaching Xiao Min, that young man, to understand
Look at the overall situation and stay calm.
I was ordered by my father to disintegrate the eldest grandson's small army in Lingnan Road. However, I have been here for two months, but I have suffered repeated setbacks.
Living is the foundation of everything. For a person who can't even guarantee his own life and safety, and voluntarily deviates from the center of the struggle for power, what can you do to distract people? Not many people can worry about putting their wealth and future at risk.
Under such a responsible young man who is full of variables?
After discussing the upcoming war arrangements, several counselors and generals were ordered to go in and carry out the matters.
After hearing this, Murong Yun stood up and gave a long salute: "Since Yao Qian came to power, Xiaosheng has had peace. Yao Qian has brought trouble to the court and persecuted the royal family, causing the Li family's descendants to wither and decline... Fortunately, the prince has kept a low profile and stationed in the Western Region.
There is no chance of survival for Xiao Sheng. It is Luo's great fortune to be able to follow the prince and support the Li family's orthodoxy now."
A military advisor sitting closest to Li Cong was surprised and stroked his beard with a smile: "After all, the She Kui family agreed!"
A princess named Ming, who was guarding a tiny place like Tuyuhun, dared to come to me and make a deal with me in a pretentious manner.
Through that period of fighting, we can see that Changsun is a difficult character to deal with, a difficult bone to chew. Instead of chewing it at the right time and breaking his teeth, it is better to wait for the final decision at the rear.
Before that, try to get that bone back at the highest cost?
After all, Xu Zhengye was too immature and didn't even know what the real weight was. Going to the northern border would simply destroy his own future.
However, there have been many precedents like this in ancient times. It is clear that a person who has a small bad situation can turn it into a good situation based on a decision made overnight. Such mistakes in decision-making are often regarded as one's own fault.
If you know that luck is in your hands, you are destined to use another way to return your luck. But once you lose your luck, you will soon be knocked back to its original shape, and you will be completely defeated.
At the same moment, Xiao Min's eyes scanned every word under the letter in his hand, and his eyes filled with anxious anger.
In those days, this man had repeatedly proposed clever ideas to the prince, and his intelligence and resourcefulness were beyond words. But when it came to the matter between Ming Qian and Ou Qianjia, he only had subjective hatred, and when it came to righteous indignation, he did not even use extreme words.
The prince who succeeded to the throne was not Li Suining's eldest son, but my eldest son, Murong Shouping.
If he came back alive, it would be a different matter.
At the end of his words, Murong Yun looked at King Rong, raised his hand and said: "The prince's benevolence is known to everyone in heaven, but that benevolence is definitely not suitable for such a disaster star, and it should be eradicated!"
Mr. Luo, who "resurrected from the dead", was particularly disgusted with men stealing power. A few years later, my crusade against the Ming Dynasty caused an uproar among the public. There were signs of men taking power everywhere in this statement.
This is called the reversal of yin and yang, a sign of trouble for the world, and all chaos is attributed to the demons in power.
Half of the small army from Prince Rong's Palace was taken away by the father, and the other half guarded the western border. So I called on the soldiers and horses from the Central Guizhou Road, as well as some forces from Lingnan Road that had not surrendered to Prince Rong's Palace——
Such words make it difficult to hear the speaker's obsession with supporting the Li family's orthodoxy - Li Cong did not believe this. When Luo Guanlin rose up, the army lacked Li Cong's eyeliners, so Ou Qian was very vague about what he had done at the time.
The process of how Murong Yun and Luo Guanlin separated: it was precisely because the latter saw the former's ambition to be independent, while the latter only wanted to restore the Li family's imperial power. To be precise, it was the patriarchal Li family's imperial power that still respected women.
Now, Xu Zhengye already has the appearance of losing his destiny!
Very slowly, a sigh appeared in the corner of Li Cong's eyes. Such an outstanding person was still able to escape from this small desert in the end.
The counselor sighed: "Your Majesty is very kind."
If this Chang Sui Ning stays in the north forever like A Shang, as Uncle Wang, I will definitely be stingy in giving you the honor and respect - people who die in time are always worthy of respect outside of me.
.
When I was young, a soldier from the Central Guizhou Road came into the tent to deliver a message, saying that the Jiedu envoy of the Central Guizhou Road was about to have a happy event and that he would be engaged to the man of the She Kui family one day ago.
Li Cong lit Mingluo's secret letter with a candle and threw it into the copper basin. The fire danced and engulfed every word under the letter.
Li Suining, the leader of Tuyuhun, died.
But I always admire people without ambition.
Li Cong clearly understood the difference between the two, and his tone was both praise and blame: "I am ashamed to be a princess raised before the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing those words of admiration, no one among the counselors echoed the words, and no one could only smile.
That marriage proposal took place only a few months ago, and Ou Qian's family was not willing to agree at first... Now that Xiao Yue has seen that Prince Rong's army is moving towards the capital very smoothly, She Kui's family has finally made no decision.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong." Murong Yun, who had never said anything before, Su Rong said: "In my opinion, this man understands what benevolence and righteousness are. Based on his past style, we can see that he is just a man who only knows how to fight.
You are just a bad boy who killed you since you were a child. You thought you were victorious, so you acted rashly and wanted to show off your power in the north——"
But Xiao Min completely backed away. That was Li Yin's position, and it was mine... If I can't solve the trouble here until my father successfully takes back the capital, what's the use of me? Then
I have great achievements to report, so what will happen to me?
"Did we actually send this certificate of credence to Jiannan Road?" Ou Qian asked without interest as he raised his hand to take it.
The words revealed that if Ou Qianjia loses in my hands in the future, I will take this action of the other party into consideration and try to deal with it again.
Listening to those kinds of comments, Li Cong didn't take it seriously to make fun of or be proud of. Instead, I said: "No matter what, your going here is indeed a benevolent and righteous act for the country and the people. No matter whether it succeeds or fails, I will do it for you."
The people of Xiaosheng will remember your kindness."
Through those days of getting along with each other, we even suspected that the reason why this dear friend came out of the mountain again was because Xiaoyue was accustomed to being a man who was rampant in the world.
I originally thought that Changsun had been supporting Lingnan for a long time, but I didn't expect that the several states that the other party had occupied were now all dedicated to Changsun, and they actually solved the problem of food and grass supply for Ou Qian's small army in Lingnan.
The man from She Kui's family who is about to get married is named She Kuifu, and he is She Kuiji's cousin.
But that's a good thing for us in Prince Rong's Mansion. Now the world needs a calm voice that respects men's authority. The less it is, the worse it is.
In fact, I don't hate this feeling. A person who died as a young boy is still mentioned by others from time to time... The prince who is so remembered shows how outstanding he is.
Before the letter was sent out, Ou Qian's eyes fell back on Min Luo's letter again, and he accurately captured the seven words "the first prince is effective".
Yes, whether the transaction can be completed depends on how many chips you have and whether I need it.
Therefore, there is no chance that anything could go wrong with the marriage. To me, that is a trivial matter that is a hundred times more important than fighting Zhang Sun Xiaojun!
At this point, the soldier handed over a letter: "This is the letter of credence presented by Tuyuhun to report to Xiao Sheng the appointment of a new king."
The soldier recounted the news in more detail: "...the new king is over eight years old, and his mother is your princess Gu'an."
Before Murong Yun and others went in, Li Cong wrote a reply and asked someone to send it to Tuyuhun.
"Such a man has long been blinded by his murderous ambition. Even if he has no merit, it is enough to offset his heinous crime of stealing the throne of the crown prince!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Cong looked moved and asked Murong Yun, who stood up to salute, to sit down again.
There is a place where Ashang can come back safely...Chang Suining, can you do it?
"Yes, according to Tuyuhun's envoy, this is what Princess Gu'an meant."
Faced with Murong Yun's admonition that he must eradicate the problem, King Rong nodded again and said sincerely: "Sir, you always plan for me, and I have the right to disobey you. I am really lucky to have you help me with all my strength."
How young you are, I'm afraid you don't understand what the primary responsibility of a monarch is... it's ability and means, it's the name of benevolence and righteousness, it's living.
"When I heard about the decree issued by Taiyuan, many people were unwilling to obey it... Who would want to respect a young woman whose life or death is uncertain and who has no regard for the overall situation as the master?"
Before the matter was explained, only Murong Yun and two other counselors were left in the tent. It was a young man, and no soldiers came into the tent to send a message, but they brought news about the replacement of the throne of a foreign country.
But these generals have nothing in common with Li Yin's attitude - we are not aware of the dangers. On the contrary, as veterans in the military, we know how to weigh the pros and cons of a war.
I sent a letter this time to urge Li Yin to discuss the war later, but the other party replied that the wedding was only two months ago, and there were very few things to prepare.
Back to Qianzhong for a wedding drink.
With that said, he congratulated Li Cong: "Your Majesty, that is indeed a happy event!"
Li Cong was naturally happy to see the marriage, so he immediately had people prepare generous gifts and send them back to Qianzhong Road.
This secret letter came from Princess Mingluo of Gu'an. She said in the letter: You want to make a deal with Prince Rong's Palace, and you don't have any secrets in your hands.
interest.
Those who have not succeeded for many years are certainly eye-catching, but those who can win reliably are the best choices.
Li Yin, the governor of the Central Guizhou Province, had already surrendered to Prince Rong's palace. The She Kui family agreed to the marriage, and their attitude was evident.
Li Yin was in the army, and these generals had privately discussed my identity as an illegitimate son, and snickered that my father would recognize me. Although they did not dare to say these words in front of me, these people openly said that
He didn't pay much attention to me, and he never questioned the military orders I gave him...
Our attitude is very clear, the war must be fought, but a bloody and desperate fight is necessary.
My father, Wang Xiaoyue, also knew what I was doing, and he once told me that I must pay less attention to the experience and opinions of Li Yin, the governor of Qianzhong Road.
Although the She Kui family was slaughtered by the Sheng Ce Emperor, it is no longer what it used to be. However, the She Kui family was responsible for the founding of the Xiaosheng Kingdom. Several emperors were born in the family. Neither of the two Xiaosheng kings had half the blood of the She Kui family. That surname is similar to that of the Li family.
The royal family has long been inseparable. If you can get the support of the She Kui family, you will be able to ascend the throne more legitimately in the future.
Tuyuhun's land area is smaller than that of several states in Xiaosheng, but as a conflicting state between Xiaosheng and Tubo, it does not have strategic significance from the same perspective.
But Li Yin has recently been busy with the marriage with She Kui's family, and often sets foot in the military camp.
Li Cong raised his head and looked north through the gap in the curtain.
