Chapter eight hundred and forty-four [early plans] (below)
Yuchichong said: "To Dakang, I am a treacherous and treacherous minister, but to Dayong, how can I be a loyal minister? I have been guarding the northern border all my life as a soldier, but in the end I don't even have a place to belong."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Father-in-law, why should you think too much? Even if the court can't see it, the people can see your merits. If you weren't stationed in northern Xinjiang to block the Black Hu people's advance, once the Black Hu people break through the northern Xinjiang defense line, it would be bad luck.
Not only the people of Dayong will be affected, but the entire Central Plains will be plunged into war.
Yuchi said: "So what? History will never praise you because of what you have done."
Hu Xiaotian said: "In that case, why don't your father-in-law write history yourself?" He paused and said: "After all, history is written by people." In fact, his words clearly hinted at Yuchi Chong, as long as Yuchi Chong
If they are willing to join forces with themselves, then the Central Plains will belong to them sooner or later. If they unify the world, Yuchichong will be the hero of the future. History is not theirs to say.
Yuchichong slowly shook his head and said, "Do you want me to be a slave of the third surname?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xiaotian has no such intention." Seeing Yuchi Chong wavering like this, Hu Xiaotian was heartbroken. It seemed that Yuchi Chong would not make up his mind to join his camp without taking some strong medicine. He said respectfully:
"Does my father-in-law know about Li Chenzhou and Xue Daoming?"
Yu Chichong nodded and said: "Of course I know." As a minister of the Great Yong Dynasty, how could he not pay attention to the two most powerful political forces in the Great Yong Dynasty? Even if he did not pay attention to them, these two political forces would never
I gave up fighting for him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "My father-in-law fought tooth and nail against the Black Hu army on the defense line in Northern Xinjiang. However, instead of thinking about the national crisis, they unanimously faced the outside world. Instead, they were thinking about how to get rid of each other all the time. The war in Northern Xinjiang has fallen into the winter break. Please forgive me.
Xiaotian bluntly said that unprecedented changes will inevitably occur in Dayong."
Yu Chichong frowned slightly. He didn't know why Hu Xiaotian said so surely, but since he said so, it proved that he had secret information.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xue Shengkang, the Emperor of Dayong, left a secret letter when he died. This letter was found by Xue Daoming not long ago. It actually included the secret of the officials sent by Dayong to lurk in Dakang."
Yuchi Chong said in shock: "What?" This was also the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The loyal minister of Dayong who endured humiliation, endured hardships, and lurked in Dakang for more than thirty years was also a descendant of a famous family. He was born in the Duke of Jingguo, and his surname was Li Mingzuo."
Yu Chichong said: "I have heard of Li Mingzuo. He died more than thirty years ago."
"It's just a fake death. The person who died back then should have been just a stand-in. The real Li Mingzuo changed his identity and sneaked into Dakang. He went to Beijing to take the exam. He started from an ordinary scholar. With his talent and scheming, he has become a famous scholar in these thirty years.
Kang is a high-ranking minister of the country."
Yuchichong took a breath of air. In this way, Li Mingzuo really endured the humiliation. For Dayong, such a person deserves the word "loyalty". What made him feel even more chilled was what Hu Xiaotian just described.
It is not difficult to tell that Xue Daoming should have found out this matter first, and what Xue Daoming found out has already reached Hu Xiaotian's ears. The whole thing is terrifying when you think about it carefully. It is obvious that Xue Daoming wants to sacrifice Li Mingzuo, and Dayong treats a person like this.
The loyal ministers who lurked in the enemy's camp were simply repaying kindness with hatred. Yuchi rushed: "In what capacity is Li Mingzuo lurking in Dakang now?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dakang Taishi Wen Chenghuan!"
Yuchichong sighed. Wen Chenghuan was one of the important ministers of Dakang, and he was the most staunch advocate of peace in terms of his relationship with Dayong. Therefore, Yuchichong felt that it was normal and reasonable for Hu Xiaotian to reveal the secret.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Wen Chenghuan will undoubtedly die, but Da Kang will never fulfill his reputation, and Da Yong will not recognize this loyal minister. Not only that, but he will also use him to deal with Li Chenzhou."
Yu Chichong smiled bitterly and shook his head. The reality is so cruel. He suddenly discovered that Xue Daoming was more ruthless and unscrupulous than the previous emperor, but he did not have the talent and strategy of the previous emperor. In order to control Dayong's power, he even ignored the safety of the country. In all this, he
He can only express sympathy, because he clearly realizes that he is powerless to change everything.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Yong court is so cruel and heartless, what do you think your father-in-law will end up with in the future?"
Yu Chichong said: "I have already thought about the outcome. The reason why I can survive until now is because the war in Northern Xinjiang is urgent and they dare not touch me easily. The other reason is that I hold on to the military power in Northern Xinjiang.
No matter whether the emperor or Li Chenzhou is in control, once the situation in Northern Xinjiang is stable, I will be the first person they get rid of."
Hu Xiaotian sighed inwardly, Yu Chichong was quite clear-headed.
Yu Chichong said: "Since I was called back to Beijing last time, I have seen that Dayong's strength has been exhausted. After I came back, the emperor and Li Chenzhou were trying to find ways to strengthen their control over the northern Xinjiang garrison. I did not agree to this, but went against the trend.
In order to clean up a group of their closest confidants."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that what Yuchichong did would inevitably offend both parties. From a long-term perspective, his approach was unwise. However, if Yuchichong had the intention to establish his own business, eliminate dissidents and build the Northern Xinjiang garrison into a
An unbreakable group is undoubtedly extremely correct. Could it be that Yu Chichong had already planned it.
Yuchi Chong said: "Most of the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang are brothers who have followed me through life and death for many years. Without their bloody battles, I would have no chance of preserving Northern Xinjiang."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I also heard one thing. There seems to be some problems with your food supply."
Yuchichong smiled calmly and said: "It's not a problem, otherwise we wouldn't have lasted until the winter break." In fact, he was already worried about this. Seeing that the coldest winter of the year was coming, their food and grass supplies
He never arrived on time. He had written several times, but it still didn't have much effect. He vaguely felt that maybe the court would use this matter to create an issue.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Father-in-law, have you ever thought about what you would do if the court really took action against you?"
Yu Chichong narrowed his eyes, picked up the map on the table, and fixed his eyes on the direction of Dakang. After staring for a long time, he said: "If one day I die, you can help me convince my two daughters to transfer my
Just scatter the ashes in the Yongjiang River, I don't want to leave any traces in this world."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, understanding that Yu Chichong did not want to be liquidated after his death.
Yuchi Chong said: "If I join forces with you, I will be reviled after death. Even the soldiers who follow me will not be able to hold their heads high in front of their hometown friends. But if I am killed by the Yong court, the soldiers will definitely be provoked."
We share the same hatred, if Dayong really touches me, it will be like touching the foundation of the kingdom, do you understand?"
Hu Xiaotian stared at Yuchichong for a long time, and suddenly understood in his heart that Yuchichong had already made preparations. He had never thought about leaving Dayong alive, and was even prepared to use his own death to fulfill the wish of his soldiers.
While Hu Xiaotian admired him, he also felt that Yu Chichong was too persistent. In fact, since ancient times, winners and losers have always been winners. As long as you end up in the camp of the winners, who will slander your achievements and reputation? Even so, you can only
He just couldn't hear it. However, Hu Xiaotian knew that he could not convince Yuchichong. Time decided to realize that the integrity and dignity of a general had already surpassed his life in Yuchichong's heart.
When it comes to integrity, civil servants are not so different. Wen Chenghuan was arrested late at night, and subsequently the Wen Mansion was raided. Because of his special status, Qiqi specifically handed over the heavy responsibility of investigating his case to Prime Minister Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan can be regarded as old rivals in the court. They have met more times than they can count, but this is the first time they have met like this. One is superior, and the other has become a prisoner.
Wen Chenghuan was stripped of his headgear, stripped of his official uniform, and his hands and feet were shackled. He no longer had the high spirits of the past, let alone any official authority. However, Wen Chenghuan's expression showed no fear at all, and he looked calmly.
Looking at this opponent who has fought countless times in his life, he said softly: "Master Zhou, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
Zhou Ruiyuan walked slowly to his side, but did not answer his question directly. He quietly looked at Wen Chenghuan. This opponent of him in the political arena for almost twenty years has finally been exposed. If Dayong had not taken the initiative to expose his identity,
, he never thought that he was actually Dayong's lurking traitor. Although he despised Wen Chenghuan's actions, from the perspective of Dayong, Wen Chenghuan was undoubtedly a loyal minister, but his fate was extremely tragic.
He sacrificed so much for his country, but in the end he was abandoned because of Dayong's power struggle.
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Being corrupt and perverting the law! Depleting the national treasury! Accepting property from other countries and selling out the interests of Da Kang."
Wen Chenghuan chuckled and said: "Wen is very loyal to Dakang. He has always had nothing to do since he became an official. Do you want to slander me? Come up with evidence."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother?"
Wen Chenghuan's face froze. Zhou Ruiyuan was obviously telling him that these crimes did not require evidence at all.
Wen Chenghuan said: "I want to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess and explain to her personally!"
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Why do you have to do such a futile thing? Should I call you Taishi Wen or should I call you Master Li?"
Wen Chenghuan was stunned, but he immediately laughed and said, "What did Mr. Zhou say? Wen doesn't understand."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Everything in this world has its traces. Maybe you don't remember the content of the correspondence between you and Xue Shengkang back then?"
