Chapter 490 Its not Gods calculation, nor is it Fuyang
In the mountains of Luozhou.
The Taoist sat on the bluestone next to the official road to rest, and there were still patches of swallow rice fields on the roadside.
At this time of year, the oatmeal is already ripe, but not yet old. Each fruit has purple-red or brown whiskers hanging on it. This seems to have triggered some of Sanhua Empress’s hobby - while the Taoist was resting, she walked alone.
When I got to the ground of swallows, I used all the green, red and purple whiskers of the swallows as hair, and carefully braided various hairstyles.
Due to height limitations, I sometimes have to stand on tiptoes.
Single twist and double twist;
Single ponytail, double ponytail;
Single meatball, double meatball.
Whatever the Taoist priest had braided for her, she would braid for these oats, and each one was different.
Song You sat and thought.
It has been a few days since I entered Luozhou.
News from Luozhou does come faster than from Yuzhou behind him. There are often discussions at tea stalls on the roadside and in wine shops in the city.
Sure enough, there are all kinds of opinions.
Emperor Dayan originally gave birth to three sons. The real eldest son died young, leaving two, the older one is the second prince, and the younger one is the third prince. Now the younger one is designated as the crown prince, and the older one is named Prince Shun.
Some people say that the emperor originally wanted to make Prince Shun the crown prince, but the young prince, relying on his status as the legitimate son and the support of civil servants, tampered with the edict, and later hijacked the emperor. Prince Shun led troops to Beijing in response to a secret edict. Others say that Prince Shun was simply the prince.
Relying on the support of his mother's family, the old emperor was in a coma all day long. He was dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to appoint his third brother as the prince, so he rebelled.
Whether it is true or false, no one knows.
Anyway, King Shun has already led his troops into Beijing.
The army entered the city and marched for three days.
The prince and the emperor fled.
I think Changjing must be in chaos at this time.
Not only Changjing, but all the states in Dayan were affected one after another from near to far.
Just like Luozhou at your feet.
It seems calm, but actually there is an undercurrent.
The Luozhou officials and defenders were either nervous or excited, each speculating on the situation, thinking about ways to protect themselves, or ways to gain profit.
Not to mention the powerful people with strong interests such as the powerful and the generals, there are also the bandits and thieves on the roadside. Obviously Luozhou is not in chaos at all. Those rumors from Changjing are no different from the fairy tales thousands of years ago. Now they have nothing to do with them.
Even though they couldn't get enough of it, they became inexplicably excited. As a result, the number of passing business travelers who were robbed increased significantly.
Even the price of rice and noodles in the city began to rise.
And this is just the beginning.
"..."
Song You actually didn't care who became the emperor. He was not a man of fortune. He didn't know which of the two princes would be better for the world as emperor. He couldn't even choose the emperor himself, let alone him.
It's just that there has to be an emperor.
Only in this way can the world be stable.
If this chaos continues, I am afraid it will cause more conflicts, and the heroes will rise sharply at any time, and even prosperous times will turn into troubled times, and they will really be on the verge of changing dynasties.
This is not what Song You thought.
"I haven't finished this world yet." Song You sat on the roadside and murmured to himself.
I just hope that the turmoil will settle down soon.
"Taoist priest, what did you say?"
"nothing."
Song You sighed and stood up with a stick.
The field of swallows behind him is still lush and lush. In the troubled times, people's hearts are in chaos. The business travelers in the past broke off a lot of swallows near the roadside, leaving empty branches or shells. Only the Three Flower Empress
All the swallows that were touched had their hair braided, and their hair was rosy red and purple. They were so beautiful that they made people fall in love with them when they saw them.
As soon as the Taoist left, she followed him.
As the Taoist walked, he stared at the north——
Song You couldn't catch one of the two princes, put him on a throne, and kill the other. This was neither what he wanted to do, nor what the world wanted to see.
Chen Ziyi does have this ability.
But I don't know how he will choose.
…
Northern border, Yuanzhi City.
The gathering drum was beaten a quarter of an hour ago, and the tent was already filled with military advisors and generals.
Chen Ziyi sat in the main seat and fell into deep thought.
The people below were discussing incessantly and their voices were chaotic.
"Still no order has been sent?"
"Good news, the transfer order arrived today."
"The transfer order is here? How do you say it?"
"Bad news, both sides are coming. The king ordered us to stand still and stay here, and everyone was upgraded to the next level. The prince also ordered us to lead the troops south quickly and attack Changjing.
Welcoming orthodoxy will bring you great rewards."
"this……"
"Who should I believe?"
"Who knows what to believe, but now, all the major military towns in the world, and soldiers and horses from all walks of life, are looking at us." Military Master Zhang said, "Don't talk about the far ones, let's talk about the nearby ones. Except for the armies and horses of the five towns in the north of Zhenbei, they are all looking at us."
Except for the second town of Shuofeng, which we control far away, the other three towns should have received the same order, and none of them acted rashly."
"this……"
Many generals and advisers were stunned.
He had no choice but to look at Chen Ziyi who was in charge.
Chen Ziyi was also silent and did not make a sound.
"What's going on now?"
A counselor below asked.
"According to our information, the Crown Prince and His Majesty fled to Yizhou, but they were intercepted on the way and were accidentally separated. Now the Crown Prince continues to pretend to be with His Majesty, taking refuge in Yizhou while giving orders, but His Majesty has been captured by an army
The guards fled to another place, probably to Yangzhou." Military Advisor Zhang said, "King Shun occupied Changjing and allowed the soldiers to hunt for three days, causing a lot of trouble."
"Yangzhou...is it true?"
"Mostly true!"
"Yangzhou is rich but weak, so it is a good place."
"From Zhang's point of view, this must be an order given by His Majesty when he is awake. He went to Yangzhou not to find rich people, but to find that person." Military Advisor Zhang stroked his beard and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm afraid.
There is a high probability that that person will not intervene, and even if he intervenes, he will not help this foolish king."
"What about other places?"
"Edicts from both sides have been received in various places. Most of the border military towns are still waiting and watching, while several states in the hinterland are already ready to move."
"this……"
"You are all our own people, so I won't say much else. Everyone knows that the throne is to be passed on to the prince. Prince Shun was dissatisfied and plotted to usurp the throne." Military Advisor Zhang looked around, "Now in this world,
Whether the situation is chaotic or stable, whoever sits on the throne is on us."
Everyone met his gaze, but they were all very cautious.
"What does the military advisor think?"
"I'll wait and listen to the general's decision."
Everyone knows that this is a historical drama that is destined to be recorded in history, and they are not qualified to decide how to sing and perform it.
"From my perspective..."
Military Advisor Zhang was very calm and said: "After all, this is the Lin family's own business. The emperor was originally suspicious of the general, and now there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops guarding Changjing. If we send troops south, it is not easy to break through Changjing and welcome back.
Zhengtong, even if we welcome him back, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the general."
"The military advisor is saying that we should stand still?"
"Of course! Stand still, no matter how the Lin family fights for power, just pretend that they didn't receive these two transfer orders!"
As Commander Zhang said, he glanced at the coach in front of the commander's case.
Seeing that Chen Ziyi was silent, he couldn't help but look worried.
"What does the general think..."
Military Advisor Zhang finally asked Chen Ziyi.
The rest of the people also focused their attention.
I saw Chen Ziyi sitting like a mountain, with a serious expression, and a hint of fatigue in his brows. He only whispered softly: "The two princes hold their own opinions. Your Majesty is living in Yangzhou. The world's heroes are choosing sides to fight. If we don't calm down early,
This chaos may cause rivers to break and the people to live in dire straits..."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.
Military Master Zhang immediately frowned.
I had already made a guess, but I still couldn't help but try to persuade him.
"General, think twice!" Military Advisor Zhang said to him solemnly, "This is a thankless task!"
"..."
"After traveling thousands of miles to Changjing to enter Angzhou, we have to pass through several towns and passes. Does the general know how to choose the border guards? There are still natural dangers when entering Angzhou. There are tens of thousands of imperial troops guarding the capital under the orders of King Shun!" Zhang
The military advisor has followed Chen Ziyi for many years and supported him. Naturally, he understands him and dares to speak frankly, "General, have you ever thought about how we will pass the border? If we pass the border easily, how will we enter the capital? If we pass the border easily, we will enter Changjing with overwhelming force.
, from now on, no matter the prince or the prince, who can tolerate us?"
These words are extremely accurate.
When the civil and military officials in the tent heard this, their eyes widened.
Chen Ziyi remained silent.
In fact, how could he not know.
But what I kept thinking about in my mind at this moment was the warrior who saluted the Taoist in Changjing a few years ago.
"We, as warriors, take the protection of our country and our country as our duty, and Chen must do the same. As long as His Majesty does not take my life, we will do our best to protect Dayan's peace. If one day, Chen breaks his oath and wants to give Dayan peace,
The common people have brought disaster. Sir, please kill me with one sword. There will be no resentment..."
This is the promise I made.
The warriors at that time were a few years younger than now, and a few years more frivolous than now.
It's strange to think about it, it's only been three years, but when I think back to what I said back then, it seems a bit far away.
"well……"
Chen Ziyi couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that after becoming the Marquis of Wu'an, defeating Saibei, and returning to Shuofeng Second Town in Yuanzhi as a local emperor, the life was too comfortable.
Can't think about it anymore...
The more I think about it, the more I can't make a decision.
Chen Ziyi thought again of the swallow that flew from afar some time ago and the elixir that the swallow brought, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Then he brushed the brush, and Chen Ziyi's expression became solemn, just like him a few years ago, and he said in a deep voice: "We, the warriors, eat the people's food, and we should ensure the peace of the world, the peace of the country and the people! Who cares about life and death?"
"General..."
"I've made up my mind!"
"yes!"
"Lu Dehui! Cao Yan!"
"The end is here!"
"Order 10,000 fine cavalry and follow me south!" Chen Ziyi raised his head and said, also looking around, "If one day, Your Majesty is suspicious of me again, Chen will have his own way to escape, and you will not be affected!"
The tiger talisman was thrown out by him and flew downwards.
"Snapped!"
The two generals caught it accurately and without hesitation, they followed the order and came out of the tent. Their armors collided with each other, making a series of dull sounds.
Although many advisers had objections, once the commander-in-chief made a decision, he was united.
In a daze, it was like the time when he conquered Saibei.
