"I have thought about this, but don't forget that the tens of thousands of troops he brought are camped in the suburbs, and he has led those people for many years. I am afraid that his words are more useful than my will. If I
Now that he was relieved of his military power, he was unwilling to incite those people to rebel, and then ran away
Wouldn't it be more troublesome to go to the northwest and become king on your own? And you should understand that the land of the capital must not be chaotic!" Yinzhen said with a deep look, he never thought that one day, Nian Gengyao, who he relied on as his confidant, would actually
Became the most difficult chess piece, unwilling to stay but unable to abandon it.
"It won't work this way, and that won't work either. Should we just let him take over?" Yunxiang frowned into a knot. He always felt in his heart that Nian Gengyao was a scourge, and the sooner he could be eliminated, the better.
"Sooner or later, military power will have to be relinquished, but not now, nor is it so straightforward. It has to be done step by step." Yinzhen already had a plan in mind, "First find a general who can guard the northwest for Nian Gengyao. Don't let problems arise in the northwest.
.”
Hearing this, Yunxiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up from his chair and said solemnly: "My brother is willing to relieve my fourth brother's worries and go to the northwest!"
"No!" Yinzhen flatly refused, and then said in a serious tone: "You are not in good health, and going to the bitter cold land in the northwest is tantamount to killing you. Don't mention this again in the future."
When Yunxiang heard this, he suddenly became anxious, "Fourth brother, you already rejected my brother last time. Now let me do something for you. Besides, my body is much better now. Even if I go to the northwest
Nothing will happen."
"Have you not done enough for me?" Yinzhen looked at Yunxiang intently. A ray of sunshine shone on his face, making his eyes look particularly bright. He said solemnly: "Thirteenth brother, I
I understand what you mean, but compared to the northwest, the situation between North Korea and China is much more difficult, and you are the only one I can fully trust now."
Yunxiang met his gaze for a while, then suddenly sighed and whispered: "I understand, I will stay in the capital to assist my fourth brother, so that my fourth brother can create an unprecedented prosperous age."
"Okay!" Seeing that Yunxiang had changed his mind, Yinzhen was happy. When he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and it was Su Peisheng.
Seeing Su Peisheng coming in, Yunxiang suddenly remembered something. He hadn't seen him since the banquet ended, and he didn't know where he went.
"My slave, please give your regards to the emperor and to Prince Yi." Su Peisheng respectfully saluted Qian'er.
"How about it? Did you find out clearly?" Yinzhen returned to the chair and sat down, raising his voice and asking.
Su Peisheng lowered his head and said: "I have already inquired about everything I said when I returned to the emperor. I have also found the clerk who bumped into General Nian. When General Nian was greeted by the officials, he did kick over a bucket of water and called him a bastard."
A worthless thing. All the adults who greeted him saw this, and Inspector Qian did not unjustly accuse General Nian."
In Yunxiang's surprised eyes, Yinzhen said calmly: "Didn't you not let me ask at the banquet just now? Then I will ask Su Peisheng to find out clearly. Nian Gengyao, haha, he is really talking blindly with his eyes open.
, you didn’t take me seriously at all!”
He spoke in an understatement, as if he didn't care at all, but Yunxiang and Su Peisheng knew clearly that the angrier Yinzhen became, the more abnormal he became. The way he looked now, he was clearly extremely angry.
Sure enough, after a while, Yinzhen said sharply: "Yunxiang, look, what kind of thing have I raised over the years? Even animals are a hundred times better than him!"
Yunxiang comforted him: "Fourth brother, please calm down. As long as fourth brother knows who he is in his heart, it will be fine. No matter how he talks in the future, he will not be able to deceive the emperor. In addition, there is one more thing that I want to report to the emperor. It is about...
Luobu Zangdanjin."
"Him?" Yinzhen looked puzzled. Luobu Zangdanjin was already dead. Is there anything else he wanted to report? However, he knew that Yunxiang would never make a mistake, so he patiently listened to what he said. As for
Su Peisheng retreated obediently,
Some words cannot be heard by slaves like him; only by knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to measure, can you stay in the palace for a long time - this is what Master Li Dequan told them when he left, and it was also what he had been with Emperor Kangxi for decades in his life.
The most powerful door that will ever stand.
"Just now when the emperor asked about Luo Bu Zang Danjin in the Yangxin Hall, I felt that his attitude towards Nian Gengyao was a bit strange, as if he was hiding something, so I asked for an order to go to prison, just to find out.
"
"Then what did you ask?" Yinzhen had already smelled something wrong.
Yunxiang walked to the window, slowly closed the open window, and then said something astonishing, "The one who really put an end to the war in the northwest was not Nian Gengyao, but Yue Zhongqi."
"What?" Even though he was mentally prepared, Yinzhen was still shocked when he heard this sentence, "How is this possible? The report clearly stated that Nian Gengyao led the army to put down this war."
"The report was submitted by Nian Gengyao. He can write whatever he wants." Yunxiang paused and said, "So I still believe what Luo Bu Zangdanjin said. There is another thing I want to ask the emperor to forgive me for."
, my brother, because I want to ask
The real situation in the northwest was revealed, so he agreed to execute the punishment of dismembering the body by five horses after the death of Zangdanjin, but never executed him according to the emperor's instructions." The change in title means that Yunxiang is now standing in front of Yinzhen as a minister.
At this moment, Yinzhen was not in the mood to care about how Luo Bu Zangdanjin died. He waved his hand and said, "I forgive your innocence. Tell me quickly what he said."
Following Yunxiang's narration, Yinzhen learned that when chasing Luo Bu Zangdanjin, Nian Gengyao was headstrong and eager to make meritorious deeds. He ignored Yue Zhongqi's advice and led three thousand light cavalry to pursue him, not wanting to fall into Luo Bu's trap.
In the trap set by Zangdanjin in advance, he was trapped on the mountain with no way to escape.
Fortunately, Yue Zhongqi acted cautiously, fearing that they would be ambushed, so he secretly led more than a thousand of his troops to pursue him. Originally, he could have brought more people, but Nian Gengyao's order was to have the army stay where it is.
He is not allowed to move without permission. He is the commander-in-chief, and the army only listens to his orders. All Yue Zhongqi can command is the thousands of men under his command.
After discovering that Nian Gengyao was under siege, Yue Zhongqi did not rush to save people. Instead, he used more than a thousand troops to create the illusion of an incoming army. Luo Bu Zangdanjin was panicked and frightened, and did not bother to suppress the enemy.
He killed the trapped Nian Gengyao and fled in panic.
Nian Gengyao returned safely, but most of the three thousand elite light cavalry that accompanied him were destroyed, leaving only less than a thousand men who returned.
Nian Gengyao was such a proud man. He suffered such a huge setback this time and was rescued by his subordinates. He felt that his face was not bright. Although he didn't say it, he had opinions about Yue Zhongqi in his heart.
Not to mention, later when he was chasing Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin, he made a mistake and almost escaped with Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin disguised as a woman. Thanks to Yue Zhongqi's carefulness, he uncovered Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin.
