Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh Lou Fan's trouble
Yu Jun just opened the city gate and sent Yeluming Tower back directly.
Of course, there will be people who don't understand why the General Protector General took so much risk to capture someone, and why he was sent back like this.
For people who don't understand, you don't actually have to try your best to make them understand.
People who can understand will know how insidious this is.
When Yelu Mingjing saw his fifth brother being sent back, he knew how sinister he was.
What frightened him the most was that Lin Ye had his fifth brother sent back after observing him leaving the camp.
Now in the Loufan army camp, Yelu Mingjing is indeed the commander-in-chief, but not all of them may be his.
The struggle for power in the court, whether in Dayu or Loufan, in a big country or a small country, is inevitable.
Lin Ye sent Yeluminglou back with great fanfare, and it wouldn't take long for the news to reach Jinting.
Not to mention whether there are informants from other major tribes in this camp, there are probably not a few who are from the emperor.
After learning about this incident, Yelu Mingjing's first reaction was to immediately block the news and not allow anyone to leave the camp.
But he soon gave up this idea because it couldn't be blocked at all.
Among the people he ordered to blockade the camp, there might be some who wanted to leak the news.
Yelu Mingjing was immediately in trouble. He seemed to be unable to explain this matter no matter how he explained it.
Even if he summons all the generals in his tent now, and calls his fifth brother Yeluminglou to confront him in public, those generals may not believe him.
Of course, many of these generals were subordinates of Yeluminglou, and they were naturally happy that Yeluminglou could come back alive.
But they would not believe that Lin Ye would put their general back for no reason.
Yelu Mingjing no longer had the mind to pay attention to how his subordinates were talking about it.
He first sent someone to settle his fifth brother and seek treatment from the medical officer who accompanied the army. He hurried back to the main tent without even taking a look himself.
The first thing is to spread out the paper. He must inform the emperor as soon as possible about Lin Ye's return to Yeluming Tower.
Now, the only advantage he can gain for himself is that he cannot fall behind anyone.
He had to be the first to report this matter to Heaven.
Just as he ran into the big tent, two people were watching him secretly from behind another tent.
"That guy Yelu Mingjing was probably scared, so he hurriedly wrote a memorial himself and sent it back to Jinting as soon as possible."
The speaker's name is Helian Tuzhong, he is the cousin of Helian Qiqi who had previously negotiated with Yu Yucheng, the king of Dongbo.
He was not convinced that Yelu Mingjing was in charge.
Yelvling returned to lead the army according to the order, but he did not dare to say anything. After all, Yelvling's prestige in the army was indeed unmatched.
Even though he has not fought for more than ten years, there is no general in Lou Fan's army who does not respect him.
Nowadays, less than half of the famous generals in the Loufan army are related to Yelvling. They were either brought by him in the army or taught by him at the Loufan Martial Academy.
However, after Yelv Ling was captured, the emperor asked Yelu Mingjing to come and lead the troops. Naturally, Helian Tuzhong was not convinced.
This matter should not be handled by the Yelu family. Who can guarantee that Yelu Mingjing will not have any selfish motives after he comes?
After Helian Tuzhong finished speaking, the general next to him nodded.
This person's name is Su Xingqing, who is also Lou Fan's general.
"It's just pretentious. I don't believe it. He didn't find a way to get this person back."
Helian Tuzhong said: "That's what it says, and this is the reason, but we really have no handle on him."
"There is no clue about him. We can only say that he is hiding the secret. I don't know who he secretly sent to negotiate with others."
Su Xingqing said: "I guess he wanted to change his father back, but Lin Ye didn't agree. It's hard to say that Yelu Mingjing gave him some benefits, but he was tricked by others."
At this time, they saw one of Yelu Mingjing's soldiers coming out of the tent. On the way out, he stuffed something into his arms.
"As expected, Brother Helian guessed that he wanted to be the first to send someone to deliver the letter back to Jinting."
Su Xingqing said: "With Brother Helian's talents and the prestige of the Helian family, it would be unfair if it was not you, Brother Helian, who takes up this general position."
He looked at Helian Tuzhong and said, "Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity and tell Yelu Mingjing to go home."
Helian Tuzhong shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no. Although I don't agree with Yelu Mingjing, he still has some abilities. Otherwise, how could the Holy Lord let him take orders in danger?"
Su Xingqing sighed and said: "I don't dare to question the Holy Lord's will. I just feel that General Helian's brother, Lord Helian Qiqi, was killed by a beauty in the wind for my Lou Fan."
He looked at Helian Tuzhong: "Why did the Holy Lord choose Yelv Mingjing for leading an army? Both Yelvling and Yelvming Tower are in the hands of jade men, how can Yelu Mingjing be stable? On the contrary, it's you, Brother Helian.
, I have a big grudge against the beauty, and if this matter doesn’t fall on you, everyone will think it’s unfair.”
These words completely aroused the resentment that had been simmering in Heliantu's heart.
His cousin Helian Qiqi went to negotiate with the beauty on behalf of the Holy King, but was killed by the insidious beauty in the wind.
For the Helian family, this is a deep hatred.
For the Loufan Empire, this was a great shame and humiliation.
Therefore, what Su Xingqing said was actually not a problem, and this matter should fall on the Helian family.
"I'm not trying to instigate a relationship between you and Yelu Mingjing."
Su Xingqing said: "Brother Helian and I are brothers and sisters. You and I played together when we were young, and we were classmates later..."
He looked at Helian Tuzhong: "I just feel unworthy for you, and I hate that I am incompetent and unable to hold the position of a great general, so I come to avenge you."
These few words completely ignited Helian Tu's anger. He turned around and said, "We cannot let Yelu Mingjing bury a hundred thousand troops here."
Su Xingqing, a scoundrel who stirred up dissension, immediately became happy when he saw such a scene.
The Su family's fortunes plummeted after his grandfather died.
The military power once held by the Su family was gradually replaced by the Yelu family.
However, with the current strength of the Su family, there is no way to directly challenge the Yelu family.
Therefore, he has been trying his best to sow the relationship between Helian Tuzhong and Yelu Mingjing. His Su family is not the opponent of the Yelu family, but the Helian family is.
Su Xingqing chased after him: "Brother Helian, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"
Helian Tuzhong said: "We can't let the people sent by Yelu Mingjing get to Jinting first, otherwise the Holy Lord may really be deceived by him."
Su Xingqing immediately said: "Brother Helian, you can't be impulsive and send people to intercept Yelu Mingjing's soldiers. What if you accidentally kill someone?"
Helian Tuzhong said: "Don't worry, I only think of you and I am sensible."
Su Xingqing felt even happier and said to her heart, if it weren't for a fool like you, I really don't know how I could have done this well.
Twenty days later, Jinting.
Jinting City is located in the southern territory of Loufan. In terms of the north-south width of the Loufan Empire, it is divided into five parts from the south to the north. Today, it is located in the second part from south to north.
Jinting City was not originally the capital of Lou Fan. When the country was first founded, the capital was in Hanye, which is far north.
As Loufan's national power became stronger and his territory became wider and wider, Hanye City, which was not very large in size, became less and less worthy of the status of a capital city.
The dream of Emperor Loufan in the past dynasties was to lead his army southward and drink from the Malan River.
Therefore, relocating the capital to the south seems to be the best choice, not to mention that most of the large territory in the north, where Lou Fan was originally founded, has been enfeoffed.
The people of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions were indispensable in the Northern Territory, and Emperor Lou Fan did not want to expand further north.
If the capital is within the fiefdoms of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Tribes, then what kind of capital is it? The emperor has been surrounded by vassals for a long time, how can this situation be better?
So one hundred and thirty years ago, the capital was moved south from Hanye to Jinting.
In this world, there was no Jinting City in the first place. It was a new city that the Loufan people spent thirty-seven years constructing.
From Aiye City in southern Xinjiang to Jinting City, we can get there in more than ten days by hurrying up.
At this moment, Zong Zhengshiquan was sitting on the tall sapphire pine and cypress throne, squinting his eyes slightly and not knowing what he was thinking.
Loufan people believe that pine and cypress are the most powerful and noble trees, and they also symbolize longevity.
Therefore, the pine and cypress pattern has an extremely auspicious meaning in Loufan.
This sapphire throne is extremely beautifully carved, and the tall and straight pines and cypresses look lifelike.
The style of this throne, if you look at it on the Central Plains Day...
For example, some wealthy people will plant some pines and cypresses behind and on both sides of their cemeteries.
"Holy Lord!"
The current head of the Helian family, He Lianlu, said loudly: "Yelu's bright mirror secretly communicates with the jade woman. This matter must be handled strictly. If it is delayed any longer, it may destroy the morale of the 100,000-strong army in the southern Xinjiang camp."
Zong Zheng Shiquan remained silent all this time because he guessed that this situation could not be caused by Yelu Mingjing. It was most likely Lin Ye's plan.
However, there were more than twenty reports secretly reported from the camp in southern Xinjiang.
Only without Yelu Mingjing's memorial, this matter is abnormal.
"Holy King."
He Lianlu said: "Yelü Mingjing did such a thing of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but he still refuses to report it. He thought he could hide Tianting. His treason has been exposed, Holy Lord!"
Under the sapphire throne, there are a row of twenty-seven seats, which are the seats of Lou Fan's nine princes and eighteen county princes.
Not all kings with different surnames are in Jinting. There are six present here at this time, including four princes and two county princes.
The one closest to the sapphire throne was Tuomu Shen, the leader of the Erbu tribe. When he heard this, he couldn't sit still.
"Holy King."
Tuo Mu Shen stood up, clasped his fists towards Zong Zheng Shiquan and said, "Old ministers shouldn't talk nonsense about important military and state matters, but it is indeed out of order for Yelu Mingjing not to report this matter in time."
"I dare not say that Yelu Mingjing has ulterior motives, and I dare not say that this move was intentional on his part. However, it is better for the Holy Lord to inquire about this matter."
He looked at Zong Zheng Shiquan: "I have the courage to request an order and am willing to go to the Southern Xinjiang Camp to see for the Holy Lord what is going on."
Zong Zhengshiquan did not respond immediately.
If the military power of the Yelu family is removed because of this, then his position as a holy king will be even more unstable.
People in the Nine Flags and Eighteen Divisions will not directly conspire to rebel, but they may secretly support others to come to power.
Zong Zheng Shiquan was murderous, and he basically got rid of all the brothers who competed with him for the throne.
But in the Zongzheng family, there is no one available inside and outside.
If the leaders of the Nine Banners and Eighteen Divisions unite, it's really hard to predict the outcome of the dynasty.
After pondering for a long time, Zong Zheng Shiquan nodded: "Since you are willing to go and have a look for me, then go ahead and take a closer look. Don't let some people take advantage of any loopholes."
Tuomu Shen clasped his fists: "Don't worry, Holy Lord, I will not let down the trust of Holy Lord."
After saying this, he strode out and said as he walked: "It won't be too late, I will leave soon."
Zong Zheng Shiquan frowned, but in the end, he just endured it.
