The rain in late autumn became heavier and heavier. A cold wind blew by, and the heavy rain seemed to become a bit heavier.
Just like the chaos in the east and south
The atmosphere in Luoyang City has suddenly become tense in the past few days. Jiangdong is in danger, the two lakes are in danger, half of the Wei Dynasty, the best place in the world, seems to have turned from heaven to hell in an instant, and no longer belongs to the Lin Dynasty.
The south side was only surrounded by the Pakistani bandits. Although they threatened the three towns of Wuhan, there were still six princes' army following closely behind them. It was only a temporary trouble, but the annihilation of the more than 100,000 troops in the east was a real big trouble.
The dignified Minister of War, Mr. Cao, led the main force of the Central Army of more than 200,000 people to fight in such a manner. It really made everyone in the world unable to believe: Is the Zhejiang bandit army too strong, or is the Central Army completely incompetent? Or is it just that?
Master Cao doesn't know how to lead troops?
Everyone is guessing, everyone is doubting, everyone is panicking, and everyone suddenly thinks of a very strange point: Why doesn't Your Majesty move the army in northern Xinjiang to the south to put down the rebellion? The sharpest army in the world
If Yan Yunqi went south to drink from the Yangtze River, how could he become a mere bandit from Zhejiang and Pakistan?
Wanchang is sick
Wanchang has actually been ill for a long time. In recent days, more and more unfavorable things have happened. The old and new parties are fighting to the death in government affairs. Originally, when he was still strongly supporting Qiu Linjiang, the new party still had the upper hand. But now the emperor is ill.
Now, the war situation in the east and south is becoming more and more unfavorable. At this time, no matter how tough the new party is, it will feel a little lack of confidence. Naturally, the old party will not waste such a good opportunity and take the opportunity to lash out at the new party for its disorderly government, which will cause chaos in the world.
culprit
Government affairs are not going well, military affairs are not going well, and even housework is getting worse!
Wanchang knew that the relationship between Lao Liu and the Yun family was getting closer and closer. The previous series of victories often had the Yun family's fighting style mixed in behind them.
The fourth brother took Long Xiangwei with him, originally to guard Xiangfan and prevent the Xichuan bandits from entering the jurisdiction of the central court. Unexpectedly, the fourth child actually took it upon himself to invade Sichuan and directly helped the Leng family to quell the rebellion! The reason is very good, said
If the bandits are to be prevented from coming east, the best strategy is to go to Sichuan and annihilate the enemy! What nonsense, you are just afraid that the Leng family will be too traumatized and that the support for you in the future will be too little! I, how can I
Don’t know?
The only thing that makes Wanchang happy is that he once completely lost confidence in the prince Lin Xu.
Yes, Lin Xuwu is not as good as Lin Sheng, and his writing is not as good as Lin Xi. But since he has been ill recently, Lin Xu is the only one who has been saying hello three times a day and serving soups and medicines at any time! Wanchang is filled with emotions. No matter how capable his son is, he cannot be as filial as the most filial one.
My son is considerate
But thinking about this, Wanchang became more and more anxious. Since only the prince can inherit the great treasure, and the prince's ability is obviously not as good as his own, then he should give the prince a stable and stable country. Any disharmonious factors will
It should be eliminated in advance, but now the world is...
Wanchang was half lying on the bed and suddenly said: "You all go down. No one is allowed in unless I call you."
Although Wanchang was seriously ill, his majesty was still there. No one dared to disobey his orders. All the imperial doctors, maids, and eunuchs immediately withdrew.
Wanchang let out a long breath and said: "Sir, come out."
A man in black immediately appeared quietly in the room and walked slowly to Wanchang's bed. He did not salute and just called: "Your Majesty."
Wanchang nodded, but did not speak, and remained silent.
The man in black didn't press any questions, he just stood there quietly, waiting for His Majesty's instructions.
After a long while, Wanchang suddenly raised his head and stared at the man in black: "Yun Lan is still in Luoyang?"
"Of course the Taiwei is in Luoyang," the man in black said
"I heard that someone suggested that I let Yun Lan take command and lead the elite troops south to the east of the Yangtze River to exterminate the rebels?" Wanchang said, with a look of ridicule on his face, as if he was telling the world's worst joke.
The man in black said calmly: "Many courtiers believe that Lieutenant Yun is the best general in the world. If he leads the army south, our Central Army still has about 300,000 troops available, which is enough to turn the tide and restore the world."
"Qingping"
Wanchang laughed until he coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood, and then he gasped and said: "These people are afraid that they will have to call Yun Lan Taiwei Yun, and they are afraid that they want to call him Your Majesty!"
The man in black looked at the bright red color on the white brocade handkerchief in Wanchang's hand and said: "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body."
Wanchang waved his hand: "I won't die for a while." He looked cold and said: "Yunzheng was so bold that he even conquered Japan and Korea, turning them into vassals of the Yun family. This time he went north to the Liao Kingdom.
It’s for a mere foreign woman. I’m so stupid that I married Yan’er to such a bastard!”
"I heard that Marshal Yun has reached an agreement with the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom gave the Yun family a land almost as big as Northern Xinjiang. The territory of Zhongjing Road, Nanjing Road, Xijing Road... all three roads were taken over by Yun Zheng.
"The man in black continued to say expressionlessly, as if he didn't care at all that the emperor's face was getting worse.
Wanchang looked gloomy and said: "The Yingyang Guards, I'm afraid there are twelve guards now? And the weapons workshops of the Yun family, I heard they are working overtime... Humph, privately expanding the army without the permission of the court
Bei, what do they want to do?!"
The man in black didn't speak, but he sighed appropriately.
This sigh seems to have hit Wanchang's heart. Yes, everyone knows what they want to do. Even if they don't want to rebel, they still want to carry it with the court so that the court dare not have any thoughts about them. But so what,
The imperial court is now in a hurry due to two rebel armies. It is not strong enough to suppress the internal bandits. How can it have the confidence to yell at the Yun family, which has nearly 300,000 elite soldiers?
Wanchang took a deep breath and suddenly said: "The Yun family's rebellion has become clear. I can't sit back and wait for death, nor can I hand over such a kingdom to the prince."
The man in black didn't seem to move, but there was a flash of light in his eyes, but Wanchang, who was in agitated mood, didn't see it.
Wanchang said resolutely: "I have made up my mind to 'break the bridge' immediately."
The figure of the man in black swayed slightly, then calmed down immediately, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, at this time, the 'broken beam' will cause trouble in the north."
Wan Chang said proudly: "As long as we handle it properly and let my good son-in-law think that it is the good deeds of the Yelu family of Liao Kingdom, not only is there no danger to me here, but it will also defeat his plan to join forces with the Xiao family. Sir, just feel free to do it."
All consequences, even if the sky falls, will be borne by me."
The man in black nodded: "Your Majesty, take care, I'm leaving." If he didn't call himself a minister, he really didn't feel like a minister at all.
Wanchang nodded: "I will entrust everything to you."
The man in black nodded silently, turned around, jumped, and disappeared.
----------------------------------------Yun Lan is sitting on the bed on the steps,
Looking at the heavy rain in the courtyard, as if the heavy rain could reveal some news to him
Ning Wanting walked out from behind and came to the Hu Bed (the original product of the Taishi Chair, the Hu Bed at this time was actually a big chair). Naturally, a servant handed over a Hu Bed and placed it behind her for her to sit on.
"You guys, please go down." Ning Wanting ordered, and the servants dispersed immediately - not actually dispersed, but just walked farther away. People who are slaves in such a giant family cannot really go down after being ordered to do so by their masters.
, you can only leave a little bit, because the master means that he has something to say that is not allowed to be heard by outsiders. The servants should move away a little, but not too far, otherwise the master will call you when the housework is over, and you will be derelict in your duty.
"Are you worried about Zheng'er, husband?" Ning Wanting asked.
"I'm not worried about him." Yun Lan said calmly: "We all know the temperament of the Thirteenth Princess, and she will definitely not do anything excessive because of this. And that county... princess of Liao Kingdom, huh, I think she is willing to marry
It’s so loud”
Ning Wanting rolled her eyes at her husband: "My husband knows that this is not what I mean by asking."
Yun Lan gave a rare smile and said: "I know Madam is worried about His Majesty." He paused and said: "Zheng'er's matter will definitely cause great dissatisfaction to His Majesty, but at this time
The world is in chaos, and our Yun family, with an elite army of 300,000 men, is of great importance. Your Majesty, as a person, should not attack Zheng'er at this time."
Ning Wanting frowned: "But...according to Beige, there have been more and more spies near Duke Yun's Mansion recently. I'm afraid the emperor might have something wrong. Then..."
Yun Lan's eyes moved slightly, she pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Is this true?"
Ning Wanting nodded: "Yes, the number of spies nearby has been increasing recently, but today there are suddenly a lot less."
Ning Wanting said it easily, but Yun Lan's expression changed: "Not good!"
Ning Wanting was stunned: "What?"
Yun Lan's face suddenly darkened: "I'm afraid the situation has changed."
"What do you mean, husband?" Ning Wanting frowned. She couldn't figure out why the situation had changed since there were fewer spies.
Yun Lan's face was as dark as water. She looked at the pouring rain in front of her and said with concentration: "The number of spies in the past few days is because Luoyang has received continuous reports of defeats from the front. His Majesty is worried that our Yun family will have any alien intentions, so
A large number of spies were sent to Duke Yun's Mansion to keep an eye on me to prevent me from fleeing north of Beijing."
Ning Wanting was even more confused: "Now that the spies have withdrawn, aren't you relieved?"
"Don't worry?" Yun Lan sneered: "How has your majesty ever worried about me, Yun Zhongshan?" He stood up, stood tall, looked at the heavy rain and said: "The reason why the spies withdrew is because your majesty has made a decision.
No more surveillance.”
Ning Wanting's heart tightened and she stood up: "What decision?"
Yun Lan smiled coldly: "Of course he assassinated me, Yun Lan, and then blamed the Liao people, diverting the disaster eastward."
