Chapter 170 How about we create the emperor together?
Within Kyoto.
Qin Changping had just returned to the palace from the morning court, and the palace chief Shi Wubin hurriedly reported to him about the battle situation in Nanyang City.
While listening to Wu Bin's story, he walked towards the lobby of the palace.
Suddenly he stopped, narrowed his eyes, stared at Wu Bin closely, and asked: "What did you just say?"
Wu Bin was stunned for a moment, then said: "Xiaoguan is talking about the battle of Nanyang City."
"That's what you just said!" Qin Changping said.
"Well, Yunshan, the master of the three islands of Xiaoyao Island, was killed by Mao Jiang in Nanyang City." Wu Bin said.
Qin Changping frowned and his expression suddenly became serious.
However, he did not ask any more questions, and just ordered: "Let Lu Cheng come over, I have something to ask him to do."
He already had a general understanding of the situation in Nanyang City. Although he was also very shocked, he did not show it.
Because no matter what happens in Nanyang City, it will not affect him.
It's just that Gong Yunshan's death made him feel a little heavy.
"Here!" Wu Bin responded.
Qin Chengping added: "Although this matter has little impact on Kyoto, it still needs to be taken seriously."
"Since Mao Jiang was ordered by His Majesty to pretend to rebel, he has made a great contribution this time. I believe it won't be long before he returns to Kyoto."
"You prepare in advance."
Wu Bin's expression moved slightly and he said, "What does the prince mean?"
"Follow him!" Qin Changping said.
"I understand, I understand!" Wu Bin responded.
Qin Changping walked into the main hall, sat on the main seat, and said thoughtfully: "In addition, Qin Changan seems to have been eyeing the 12th Regiment Camp recently!"
Wu Bin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Twelve Regiment Battalion has always been the most important guard force in Kyoto, and Li Ji is your Majesty's most valued noble. It is not easy to conquer him."
"Moreover, if it reaches His Majesty's ears at this time, I'm afraid he will be furious."
Nowadays, the secret fight in Kyoto has entered a fever pitch. As Emperor Li becomes older and older, the fight between Prince Ping Qin Changping, Prince An Qin Changan, and Prince Ning Qin Jun becomes more and more intense.
Today you trick me, and tomorrow I will have someone impeach you in the court. You win over the Minister of War, and I win over the Minister of War. You interfere with the Eastern Army Governor's Mansion. I will then go to the Central Army Governor's Mansion. You three come to me.
Go there and have a great time fighting for it.
"It is precisely because the 12th Regiment Battalion is important that we cannot give up." Qin Changping said in a low voice: "Your Majesty does not have much time. If we do not have enough troops by then, we will have to let others decide."
By this time, Qin Changping had basically given up on the idea of peaceful succession.
No matter whether Emperor Li would pass the throne to him or not, he could not inherit the throne peacefully.
Because no matter who Emperor Li passes the throne to, the other two will not let it go, and they will definitely have their swords against each other.
"But the most important thing should be Qing Fushan!" Wu Bin said carefully.
When Qin Changping heard this, he felt a headache and rubbed his eyebrows.
Qingfu Mountain was like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of the three of them.
Although Qing Fushan rarely interfered in the affairs of the court, and even most of the innate warriors rarely showed up, no one dared to ignore the existence of Qing Fushan.
And Qing Fushan's attitude is even more crucial to them.
If he does not get Qing Fushan's support, even if he takes the throne, he will not be able to control the court.
Qin Changping sighed and said: "I will visit Zuozhu Kingdom again in the afternoon."
Zuo Zhuguo is Li Xun, and he has been there twice before, but unfortunately he was turned away each time.
Even so, he did not dare to have any complaints or dissatisfaction with Li Xun.
Li Xun and Yan Zhen were the two great mountains brought to the court, one civilized and one military, one on the left and one on the right, supporting this huge dynasty.
Maybe they didn't care who succeeded the throne, but Qin Changping had to pay attention to their attitude.
…
Within the imperial city.
In the imperial study room of Shengtian Palace.
Lihuang leaned on the couch, coughing violently, and his old face turned slightly rosy.
Eunuch Lu gently hit him on the back, and it took him a long time to recover.
Afterwards, Eunuch Lu brought another bowl of medicinal soup, and Emperor Li felt much better after drinking it.
"Hey~~"
Lihuang let out a long, lonely sigh.
Even the emperor cannot exempt himself from birth, old age, illness and death.
As an emperor who has been in power for more than 40 years, he thinks that he is a qualified emperor, but now he has still become an old man who has run out of energy.
Recently, he often recalled the past events of his youth. When he was a boy, he was very energetic in Tianshi Mansion, he was cautious after he ascended the throne, and he was so heroic when he swept across the world.
Every time he thought about this, he became more and more unwilling.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to continue living, he still wants to continue to be Dali's emperor and make Dali stronger.
Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back, and he cannot go back to the past.
After a while, Emperor Li stood up and sat in front of the desk.
"Send a message to let Mao Jiang come back. He has been wronged for more than ten years."
"Also Liu Bo and Lu Ji, let them come back and let Yin Shou Supervisor prepare to confer titles on them."
Lihuang said in a weak voice.
Eunuch Lu lowered his head and asked, "What titles does your Majesty intend to give them?"
Emperor Li thought for a while and said: "Mao Jiang can be granted the title of Duke, and Liu Bo and Lu J can be granted the title of Uncle!"
Since he ascended the throne, he has rarely conferred titles. Not only has he rarely conferred titles, he has even eliminated many titles.
Today, Dali's nobility is nearly half less than when he ascended the throne, which shows that he is cautious about nobility.
But this time Mao Jiang made great achievements and sacrificed a lot. Perhaps because of his old age, Emperor Li's heart became softer.
"I'll make arrangements now!" Eunuch Lu responded.
Emperor Li nodded slightly and lowered his head to read the memorial on the desk.
There was a large stack of memorials placed on the desk, most of which were insignificant matters. They were insignificant matters to Emperor Li. He just glanced at them, left the word 'read' and threw them aside.
Already.
Only a few memorials made him look at them more.
One of them was a petition for meritorious service for the northern frontier army. Emperor Li's expression became much better when he saw the memorial.
During the Battle of Nanyang City, a battle also occurred in Yunyan City in the north. Although the scale was not as large as that of Nanyang City, it was not a trivial matter.
Hundreds of thousands of Rong cavalry troops approached Yunyan City and attacked the city continuously for more than ten days. The battle was extremely fierce, but in the end Yunyan City was defended and hundreds of thousands of Rong cavalry returned without success.
In the battle of Yunyan City, there were two people who performed most outstandingly, namely Yuwen Chengdu and Bai Qi.
Looking at these two names, Emperor Li was thoughtful.
He had never heard of the name Bai Qi, but he was very familiar with Yuwen Chengdu.
When he saw Yuwen Chengdu, the first thing he thought of was naturally Qin Wei.
In this battle of Yunyan City, Yuwen Chengdu, as the deputy commander-in-chief of Yunyan City, led the frontier cavalry in Yunyan City out of the city many times to fight against the Rong cavalry. He used 10,000 frontier cavalry to attack the Rong army formation, killing tens of thousands of enemies, and achieved great military exploits.
countless.
Although the result was far inferior to the Mingyue Army's battle in Yunyan City more than twenty years ago, it was definitely a great victory.
Naturally, such a great achievement cannot be ignored, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the frontier soldiers.
Emperor Li pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to the governor's request for Yuwen Chengdu, naming him the commander-in-chief of Yunyan City.
No matter what the relationship between Yuwen Chengdu and Qin Wei is, he has made military exploits for Dali, and the rewards he deserves are naturally indispensable.
As for the rest, Lihuang didn't think much about it.
Perhaps because of inertial thinking, until now he still thinks that Qin Wei is just a young boy. He thinks that Qin Wei is somewhat intelligent and capable, but he has never considered how powerful and powerful Qin Wei will be.
…
Half a month passed quickly.
In the past half month, the specific situation of the Battle of Nanyang City has spread to every corner of Dali. From the court to the private markets, countless people are discussing this matter.
However, not everyone was shocked and horrified by this. There were also many people who felt sad, especially the people in the three southwest states. When they heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief, and their second reaction was anger.
Because many of their family members died in this turmoil, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in the battle, and countless people experienced the devastation of the war, especially the people of Yunzhou. There was a great chaos, and countless people were implicated.
After learning the truth of the matter, the people were very excited. Countless civilian warriors and lower-level forces felt resentful, and even spawned many forces that resisted the imperial court.
The world is in turmoil, and it is the people at the bottom who are suffering.
Perhaps for Emperor Li, these sacrifices were worth it, but for ordinary people, the suffering they suffered was unbearable.
For a time, there was constant chaos in the three southwest states, and many forces resisted the imperial court in various places.
This time the imperial court lost the support of the people in the three southwest states.
After Qin Wei returned to Shuzhou, he immediately sent a message to Liu Yuanrang, asking him to try his best to appease the officers and soldiers of the various military divisions in Shuzhou.
If the people are in chaos, they won't be able to cause any big troubles, but if the soldiers of the garrison also follow suit and resist the imperial court, things will get serious.
Fortunately, the rebellion in Shuzhou was put down relatively quickly, not many people suffered, and the turmoil in their hearts was much less.
In addition, Qin Wei was in charge in Shuzhou, so there were not many Xiaoxiao followers who jumped out to cause trouble.
In the villa of Danlian Mansion.
Qin Wei sat in the study, reading the letters that came one after another.
This time, he spent a month traveling to Yunzhou. Although he did not need to handle most matters personally at present, all important matters had to be reported to him.
For example, Shen Wansan would report to Qin Wei about the financial situation of Long'an Mansion once a month.
Another example is the situation of the net, Zhao Gao's preparations in Kyoto, Li Ru's arrangements in Liangzhou, Yuwen Chengdu, and some of Bai Qi's experiences, all will be sent to Qin Wei.
What Qin Wei needs to do is to coordinate the overall situation and integrate resources.
Just when Qin Wei was learning about what was happening in various places in Dali this month, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly walked into the study.
"Your Highness, Marquis Lan Yue is here!"
"Um!"
Qin Wei raised his head and asked in surprise: "Why is he here?"
"I don't know. He only came with guards and did not lead the Mingyue Army." Xiao Shunzi said.
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows.
Just after the battle in Nanyang City, Lan Yuehou came to Shuzhou!
If this guy doesn't clean up the mess in Yunzhou, why come here to find him?
Qin Wei was a little confused, but still said: "Invite him over."
"Here!" Xiao Shunzi responded.
Qin Wei then ordered Yuqing and Yuling: "Prepare tea."
"And ask the dining room to prepare a table of wine and food!"
When Lan Yuehou comes, he must have a good meal. Although he doesn't like drinking, he is still very willing to drink with Lan Yuehou.
Before anyone arrived, laughter spread into the room.
"Hahaha~~Prince Rui, long time no see!"
The free and easy laughter came from outside the door, and Qin Wei couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard it.
Although he didn't have much contact with Lan Yuehou, he still felt that Lan Yuehou liked his temperament, and perhaps Lan Yuehou was the most suitable person to be his friend.
The word friend is definitely a luxury for Qin Wei today.
There are many people around him, but he has no friends.
Even the chess piece characters only regard him as their master, not as a friend.
Qin Wei stood up, came to the door, looked at Lan Yuehou, who was wearing a bright yellow gown, walking slowly, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, long time no see!"
Lan Yuehou came to him and said with a hearty smile: "I have wanted to have a drink with the prince for a long time, but unfortunately there are many things in Yunzhou and I have been unable to get away, so it has been postponed until now."
Qin Wei stepped aside from the door, made an invitation gesture, and said: "I know everything about Yunzhou. It really shocked me."
Naturally, he would not say that he had been to Yunzhou and watched a great show with his own eyes.
However, Lan Yuehou looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty didn't go to Yunzhou?"
Qin Wei was startled and looked at Lan Yuehou in surprise.
"Haha, the prince didn't go and take a look at such a big thing!" Lan Yuehou Po said meaningfully.
Although he had no clear evidence that Qin Wei had been to Yunzhou, he believed that Qin Wei must have gone.
Qin Wei smiled brightly and did not hide it, saying with a smile: "It is true that nothing can be hidden from the discernment of Lord Marquis."
The two sat down and the aroma of tea floated.
"Because I understand the prince!" Lan Yuehou said with a smile.
When Qin Wei heard this, he smiled and said, "Then I wonder why Lord Marquis is here?"
Lan Yuehou looked at him deeply and said, "Let me see how you are preparing?"
"What are you preparing for?" Qin Wei was stunned.
"The battle for the throne!" Lan Yuehou said.
Qin Wei looked startled and his expression became solemn.
Next to them, Xiao Shunzi and Yuqing, who were adding tea and water, were even more breathless.
Isn't this question too explicit, with no intention of hiding it at all?
Qin Wei slowly raised his head and looked at Lan Yuehou.
The two people's eyes collided in the air, silently.
Tea mist lingers.
Qin Wei's calm voice sounded in the room.
“Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and everything that needs to be done has been done!”
Now that things have happened, there is no need to hide his ambition, or it should be said that in the eyes of Youxin, there is no point in hiding it.
As a prince, it is natural for him to compete for the throne.
"How about we make an emperor together?"
Lan Yuehou said with a chuckle.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Wei was completely stunned and looked at Lan Yuehou with a dull expression.
What crazy shit is this guy talking about?
rebel?
It's not impossible, but it's simply not necessary.
Emperor Li is about to die of old age. It would be completely thankless to rebel against him at this time.
If Emperor Li could live for another ten years, Qin Wei might consider that he would not wait ten years, but why would he do such a thing in only a year and a half.
