Chapter 2547 Walking in the wind and snow at night
The biting north wind crashed into the tent, making a thunderous sound. It was like a huge evil beast roaring in a cage.
Wow!
As soon as the curtain was rolled up, the wind and snow rushed into the tent.
Jin Tandu, who was sitting on the handsome seat, raised his eyes slightly and looked outside the tent.
In the boundless wind and snow, there stood a woman wearing only a single coat, walking on the snow with plain shoes, and holding a riding whip.
The single clothes and shoes on his body showed that he had arrived in a hurry. His lips were cold and black, showing a bit of shock and hatred.
The riding whip was tightly held in his hand, but there was no hint of reluctance.
She came out of the snow, the situation was urgent, she rushed through the door, but also knocked on the door with a riding crop: "Marshal Jin, I wonder if you would mind taking a moment to chat with me?"
Jin Tandu, the world-famous master of the Iron Pagoda, is extremely majestic, with a body like an iron tower and a face like a diamond. Even when he is alone in the tent, he is still covered in armor.
The helmet with a tassel attached to it was placed on the long desk, within easy reach.
But his voice was soft.
He stood up, put his hand on his breastplate, and saluted: "Your Highness, please go into the tent to take shelter from the wind and snow."
Helian Yunyun also walked in and walked until he was in front of Jin Tandu's handsome case.
But he didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he used his riding crop to pluck the red tassel on the helmet and gun, and said casually, "This red tassel is also called 'Xue Ji'."
The curtain behind him was lowered, and the fierce wind whined away.
Jin Tandu stood there and said respectfully: "Sometimes I can't help but get involved."
Helian Yunyun held the riding whip and used it to sweep the snow on his shoulders: "It doesn't matter if it gets on it occasionally, as long as you remember to wash it off. It comes clean and can be cleaned off."
She had no order or purpose, even wearing only a single piece of clothing and carrying a riding whip, she broke into the Tiefu Tu camp alone. This was not an easy thing, and it was a manifestation of strength. At this time, these words were even more...
Partial pressure.
Jin Tandu sighed: "How can a general die in a hundred battles and be innocent for the rest of his life?"
Helian Yunyun stopped sweeping the snow and looked at Jin Tandu with his blue eyes: "Marshal Jin must be a person famous throughout the world."
If the princess of Damu didn't sit down, Jin Tandu couldn't sit down, but he was really tall and not very respectful, so he could only keep his head lowered.
Your Highness Yun is truly impressive!
Today I entered the military tent alone. I clearly came here to ask for help, but I always wanted to take the initiative and never showed any weakness.
In comparison, His Highness Zhaotu gives people a much warmer feeling.
Jin Tandu leisurely analyzed the two crown princes, and said calmly: "Jin only cultivates this life, and one life is eternity. Life is famous, and death is empty."
"Then in this life, we must be more cautious." Helian Yunyun said slowly.
The coach of Tiefu Tu said with deep eyes: "Jin Tandu swears to be loyal to Emperor Daimu to the death. I dare not slack off in anything His Majesty asks me to do. I dare not do anything His Majesty does not ask me to do."
Facing this invulnerable, armor-clad True Lord, Helian Yun remained silent for a moment.
During the quiet period, the wind and snow were fierce outside the tent, and the mourning of cattle and sheep could be heard clearly.
She seemed to hear the screams of the entire grassland.
The competition between her and Helian Zhaotu has lasted for many years, but she has always been at a disadvantage. After all, she was born a few years late, and time is a disadvantage that cannot be erased.
But the husband she was looking for was far better than the wife Helian Zhaotu was looking for.
Helian Zhaotu's wife was Wanyan Qingshuang, the legitimate daughter of the Wanyan family and Wanyandu's sister.
Helian Zhaotu married a woman from the Wanyan family in order to gain the support of the True Blood clan. However, she found someone from outside the True Blood clan to be her consort... This was not considered a smart choice at the time.
.
But as Zhao Rucheng's talents gradually materialized, his influence within the Mu Court continued to increase. Whether it was personal cultivation, politics, or military management, he was a first-class existence among the younger generation.
For example, important departments such as Minhe Temple were formerly in charge of the divine crown priest Tu Hu, but now they are succeeded by him. The Li Yamen is a large government office, involving all aspects of the country. The expansion of the power of Yiyang Palace has too much influence.
Big benefit.
This is considered a major victory!
On the day when Zhao Rucheng officially took charge of Minhe Temple, Yiyang Palace held a grand celebration.
In comparison, Wanyan Qingshuang's choice is much inferior. It's not that she is not excellent. Her problem is that she is too excellent, and she is also very ambitious. She is not willing to just be a person between the Wanyan family and Helian Zhaotu.
He wants to control the Wanyan family and be the head of the Wanyan family!
But her excellence cannot completely outshine Wanyandu, so the Wanyan family is now on the verge of splitting.
It is not convenient for Helian Zhaotu to support Wanyan Qingshuang, because if Wanyan Qingshuang competes independently, according to the tacit understanding established on the grassland, it will still be considered an internal matter of the Wanyan family. Once Helian Zhaotu's husband interferes too much, it will
It is the Helian royal family's embezzlement of the Wanyan clan that will cause violent reactions from all the True Blood tribes!
Therefore, the wife Helian Zhaotu married could not bring him much help for the time being. The consort Helian Yunyun recruited made Yiyang Palace grow day by day.
It's just that Helian Yunyun originally thought that this balance of power would last for a long time. Because the emperor's political agenda is still very long, once he wins the current key game, he will be qualified to look at the world.
She is very willing to compete fairly with her brother. She is very confident in herself, her husband Zhao Rucheng, and even in her and Zhao Rucheng's future children. Even under Wanyan Qingshuang's pressure, Wanyandu wanted to move closer to her.
trend.
Not to mention that someone as hardcore as Yu Wenduo also has more and more say in the family.
She and Zhao Rucheng are full of hope for the future.
But the wind and snow suddenly changed overnight.
She never expected that her brother, who had always been in a gentlemanly quarrel with her, would actually rise up and revolt at the critical moment when the emperor went to heaven in person, the entire grassland was affected by disasters, and the pastoral country needed to work together to overcome the disaster...!
By the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
No matter how angry she was, she had to admit that this was a bad time in terms of justice, but it was the best opportunity in terms of practical benefits.
Today's Emperor Damu only has one son and one daughter.
In the current pastoral country, no one can stop the fight between the brothers and sisters.
It doesn't matter what the overall political strategy is or what the forces on both sides are...if she dies, the emperor has no choice.
Her mother is an emperor, not just a mother.
Is it possible to kill Helian Zhaotu, regenerate a few more, and see if any of them are useful?
Helian Zhaotu was already good enough, but it was only because of her presence that the East Palace leader had a choice.
One step is slow, each step is slow. There is no chance for a comeback in the Supreme Court, so she makes a decisive decision and escapes from Yiyang Palace, leaving all her cronies to delay in the palace. Then she walks alone in the wind and snow at night and breaks into the Iron Buddha Camp.
She knew that this was the only chance.
But the emperor must not lose his etiquette, and the prince must not be without authority. Although she seeks Jin Tandu, she is a king who can be used by his ministers, not a humble person who should serve the superior! She cannot let Jin Tandu make arbitrary conditions.
Jin Tandu, an old fox, is far less easy to handle than his son Jin Ge.
I went around and around, but there was no positive word.
Helian Yunyun was quiet for a moment, and then moved forward. She moved forward, supporting Jin Tandu's military case with both hands, and the riding whip was buckled on the military case with only a slight sound.
She said: "Commander, please sit down."
Jin Tandu then sat in the handsome seat.
He was also sitting in the view overlooking Helian Yunyun.
The snow on Helian's hair fell on Commander Tiefutu's military case and did not melt away for a long time.
"The divinity in this white-haired wind is getting more and more important," Helian said.
"Commander, let me speak frankly."
She looked at Jin Tandu: "His Majesty's journey to heaven was not as smooth as imagined. The ending that was supposed to be smooth and smooth turned into a see-saw. The lonely Yiyang Palace worked day and night to rescue the common people in the grasslands, and even failed to prepare for themselves - these
You all see it, and everyone on the grassland can see it."
"My brother Helian Zhaotu suddenly took action at this moment. Although he was aggressive and saw opportunities, he completely ignored the overall situation of the grassland! Is this the emperor that the commander-in-chief thinks can control the grassland for the next hundred years?"
"You are at the top of the mountain, holding the iron pagoda in your hand. Although you have enjoyed glory for generations, you will not be satisfied with just galloping on the grassland."
Her voice gradually became louder: "Should we follow an emperor who cares about the common people and aspires to the world, or should we follow a man who only sees what is in front of him and has a rat-eye and a sinister heart... Who can lead the pastoral country forward better, and who can push the commander to move forward better?"
You should see clearly in the first step!"
Jin Tandu sat there, still showing respect with a humble expression, and only said: "The Jin family has been loyal to the Helian family for generations. The veteran is loyal to His Majesty and respects both His Highnesses. From the perspective of the veteran, His Highness Zhaotu
It’s not as unbearable as His Highness Yunyun said…”
"My brother Helian Zhaotu has great intelligence, outstanding military skills, courtesy to virtuous subordinates, and respects elders and gods. He is certainly not a bad person. If you look at the world, he will not lose to any prince in terms of talent alone."
Helian Yunyun raised his head slightly: "But what he is thinking about is his own power or the future of the Mu Country. Just look at his choice at this moment!"
Jin Tandu lowered his eyelids slightly: "So, you made a mistake and the dragon was trapped in the chess game, but it was actually the place where you won?"
"Of course!" He Lian Yunyun raised his voice and said: "To raise trouble when our emperor is far away in the Kingdom of Heaven, to steal someone's hand when the whole country is going through a calamity, is nothing more than breaking a jar and throwing it, and fighting fiercely at home behind closed doors. Didn't I flip the table?
His strength? Is it possible that if I throw all the manpower and material resources that I have spent on saving the world these days on He Lian Zhaotu and use all my Rouge Cavalry, can’t I beat him with blood splattering in five steps?!"
"It's just a matter of doing nothing alone!"
"Fish and blood killing each other is a common thing in the Heavenly Family. Although I cannot bear it, I am not intolerable. However, the world destroys each other and harms the foundation of the country. Although it is beneficial to me, I lose to the country and cannot take what I want."
She said extremely proudly: "Because what I want is not only victory over Helian Zhaotu, but victory over countless heroes from all over the world!"
"The former may only require a sword across the neck and my brother's head rolling on the ground. The latter requires a complete and united Dai Mu Empire."
She put the riding whip on Jin Tandu's military case and sat opposite him. Although she was wearing only one dress and one pair of shoes, she was as noble and powerful as the emperor sitting in court: "I have to walk a longer way, so I don't look at what's in front of me.
This shortcut."
She asked: "Does Jin Shuai care about thousands of miles, or is he satisfied with the present?"
"Your Highness's heroic spirit moved me." Jin Tandu was sitting there. After all, he was a minister who had been tempered by a powerful master like Helian Shanhai. Although he was moved in his heart, he did not bow down and bowed. He said slowly
: "However, trouble has arisen in Yiyang Palace, and His Highness has no choice but to fight. You regard this as a shortcut. Someone has come to kill you from this way. Fighting in close combat, blood must be seen. It is time to take this road."
He Lian Yunyun said: "That's why Gu Xueye came here. He wants to achieve the unparalleled merits of Jin Shuai! If you can save the world and do this, who can compete with you?!"
Although this statement makes people's blood boil, after all, it is still a sentence of "mobilizing troops! Mobilizing people!" It even requires Jin Tandu to personally wear armor and go into battle to be the vanguard of Yiyang Palace.
Jin Tandu sighed softly: "Historical achievements are difficult to record. The previous Jingmu War was a shame for the grassland, but the whole world knows it."
He Lian Yunyun said directly: "Gu Jin said to Jin Shuai - one day when he comes to Dabao, he will go south, so that Jin Shuai can avenge his shame!"
Jin Tandu said: "The war should not be taken lightly. I also know that this matter is far away."
Helian Yunyun looked at him: "If there are any recent matters, Jin Shuai might as well speak out."
"I dare to ask Your Highness, Your Majesty went to the Kingdom of Heaven in person, and there is still a high priest with a divine crown preaching in Qionglu Mountain. What is the attitude of the high priest between you and His Highness Zhaotu?" Jin Tandu asked.
Helian was quite certain: "The high priest and the Cangtu Divine Sect will remain neutral."
"But Tu Hu killed Bo'er Jijin Eklie, and His Highness Zhaotu rescued Huyan Jingxuan. The joint elders were almost all in the pocket, and Cang Yu showed it..." Jin Tandu shook his head: "
The high priest is only neutral now, so I’m afraid he’s not very neutral.”
Helian Yunyun said in an orderly manner: "This Joint Elders Group represents the interests of many True Blood tribes in the grassland, including the Jin clan of course. Whether the Joint Elders Group will be pocketed as soon as the Chief Elder dies, Marshal Jin should know better than I do.
There is no need to increase his prestige."
"While he was retreating to Zen, the emperor quietly left the palace and went to the Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom in person to seize opportunities from the chaos. At the critical moment, the chief elder peeked into the secrets without thinking about national treasures, and chose to unite all parties to seek power for himself.
So that the things of the kingdom of heaven are on high
The interlayer is no longer a secret, and all parties are ready to take action. Gu respects his past merits, but his confusion in this matter makes it impossible for him to be pardoned. The high priest had no choice but to kill him, and he was also acting for the country, and he was not biased
Who."
"Huyan Jingxuan is a good minister of the great shepherd. No matter who is in the position, he will save him. Whether it is Helian Yunyun or Helian Zhaotu, it just depends on who is more convenient. He only serves the state affairs and thinks about saving the world. All the pastoral countries
The people are all on the must-save list, and they are not
I know how to choose my identity. Cangyu Xunshou Yamen is an important government agency of the country. It is controlled by the joint elders and serves the public interest of the world! Regardless of whether Huyan Jingxuan has completely turned to my brother or not, he, as the yamen leader, can really make Cangyu do everything for me.
Brother Zhan? Jin Shuai also knows it!"
The so-called negotiation is nothing more than a process of lowering the price and raising the price.
Lowering the price must point out its flaws, raising the price must highlight its value.
Helian clearly brushed aside Helian Zhaotu's momentum. It can be seen that although the incident happened suddenly and Helian Zhaotu took the upper hand, she was not in a position where she was completely unable to fight against him.
"Now we might as well make it clear to the commander-in-chief that it is inevitable to further suppress the joint elders and strengthen the imperial power. After cutting down the divine power, your majesty will definitely hold the entire grassland in one fist. The only difference is that if you can wait until your majesty commits suicide
When Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom returns, the action doesn’t have to be so drastic. It’s a pity that the Great Elder can’t wait——”
She said slowly: "I thought that the joint elders were the governor of the grassland government. The position of chief elder cannot be held by those who do not understand the righteousness and have national affairs in mind. There was a voice in the Supreme Court saying that Tu Yunfu, the head of the Tu clan, is worthy of this position.
In Gu's opinion, he is far inferior to the commander-in-chief!"
Draw a picture first, then analyze the situation, and finally divide the interests and throw out heavy conditions.
Her Royal Highness came on a snowy night and showed eagerness, but after entering the tent, her posture was really elegant and she was already a mature statesman.
Jin Tandu pondered for a moment: "My son Jin Ge, Su Mu, Your Highness, is also aware of it. Although the child is wishful thinking, it is difficult for him to receive the blessings of heaven in a humble soil. It can be seen that he does not think about food and drink, and is worried and thin. As a father, I cannot help but
torment."
Helian Yunyun raised his head slightly, like a proud swan, raised his chin, his green eyes seemed to be hidden behind the clouds, and said emotionlessly: "I already have a husband."
Jin Tandu said: "There are divorce letters in the world, and they should not only be written for wives. If the wife is not virtuous, the husband will divorce her. If the consort is not virtuous, what will happen to the princess?"
Helian Yunyun looked at him: "But my husband is both virtuous and handsome."
Jin Tandu was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course. The prince-in-law of this dynasty is certainly a first-class romantic figure. You two have a very good relationship, and both the government and the public come to sing your praises. I am also happy for your highness."
Helian Yun said firmly: "Actually, marriage is not important. If nothing else, Gu and you will live longer than Jin Ge. He cannot maintain the relationship between us."
For the first time, Jin Tandu looked at the Princess in a real sense, as the Lord of the Iron Buddha Tu: "What Your Highness said is indeed the truth. But Your Majesty has no clear purpose, how can I dare to use troops rashly? No one dares to use troops."
Well, it is a serious crime of treason, affecting the whole clan! Only young people like Jin Ge, who have been dazzled by love, can do it.
A young man may still risk stealing military talismans and die for his beauty. An old minister has been in the army for half his life. In addition to his loyalty to his majesty and his loyalty to the empire, he only has responsibilities to his people and will no longer take risks for himself. Although the chief elder is a good man,
, I'll die if I say so. Although the military camp is hard, this military tent can at least provide shelter from the wind and snow!"
"You have also made friends with Gu." He Lian Yunyun said slowly: "Tonight, I walked into the wind and snow and broke into the camp alone. Although I didn't win a single soldier, I saw the true nature of the commander! Gu has no resentment, only respect.
"
She picked up the riding crop, stood up, opened the curtain, and walked away through the wind and snow.
