For the emperor

"Ayu, do you know what I want to do most?" Cang Tian was wearing a single suit, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, squinting his eyes in a good mood, and raised his voice slightly.

Duan Yu was tossed hard, he was huddling under the quilt and pretending to be an ostrich, he tremblingly revealed half of his head when he heard his question, and whispered tentatively: "Destroy the Liu family?"

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, Duan Yu immediately blushed, and retracted his head again.The shy Major General Duan really didn't understand. How could the two who were just hugging each other and not even kissing often hit a home run after Cang Tiansu had a good bath?

——And the thing he can't stand the most is, Grandma, he is a general who has fought on the battlefield for several years, but——is he still the one below? !

"I used to think so too." Cang Tiansu peeled the loyal dog brand ostrich out of the quilt with a smile, "But just now, I suddenly realized that what is lost is always lost, and the most important thing is to protect the existing one. .”

Duan Yu heard that there was a deep meaning in his words, and turned half of his head: "What do you mean?"

"I exchanged your safety with a chance to get rid of the Liu family." Cang Tiansu lowered his head and pressed a soft and wet kiss on his forehead.

The major general scratched his head habitually: "Why don't I understand what you mean?"

Cang Tiansu reached out and grabbed his paw, and wrote on the palm: "That is the emperor."

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the guess that he had already denied was true, just as he was about to ask for clarification, Cang Tiansu had already continued to write: "He doesn't trust your personal soldiers."

Cang Jinglan replaced Zhang Liu's identity, even if someone suspected that the investigation continued, even if Li Ming's clue was found, there would be no mistakes.

Zhang Liu's wife, who was wrapped in the quilt, had never been seen by anyone, and the thin Zhang Liu could barely make sense no matter whether he was put on Cang Tiansu or Cang Jinglan.

Only the father and son of the Duan family knew about Cang Tiansu's learning of the Chengguo language.Compared to believing that the Emperor of Cang Kingdom or the eldest prince would go to learn the language of the barbarian land, most people would take it for granted that Zhang Liu was just a native of Chengguo.

Duan Yu gesticulated on his hand with great interest for a long time, and explained the current situation. Only then did Cang Tiansu know that the original cause of the incident was that Prince Cheng of Yunzhou couldn't bear the loneliness and rebelled.

Due to the remoteness of the station and the lack of news, Duan Yu didn't know much about it, so the combination of the two sides, even guessing, was a string of existing clues.

The news that Cang Jinglan was secretly mixed in the envoy team of the imperial capital was leaked, and he was intercepted and killed on the road. When Duan Yu's personal soldiers met with the envoy team, the original battle of ten thousand people had been beaten to pieces, and was almost exhausted. up.

There are so many enemies pretending to be rogues, and seeing that they are outnumbered, Duan Yu, with the cooperation of his cronies, intentionally leads the battlefield to the valley where Cang Tiansu is hiding, and accidentally saves Cang Jinglan's life.

In the next ten days or so, three groups of troops were fighting at the entrance of the valley. Duan Yu's personal soldiers and the imperial envoys formed a team to resist Prince Cheng's troops together. With the rich experience of the soldiers, they actually win more and lose less, barely standing their ground.

However, at this time, Chengguo suddenly attacked and occupied the valley. Duan Yu had no choice but to ignore the possibility of exposing Cang Tiansu. Kill all the remaining [-] envoys.

At the time when the matter was urgent, Cang Tiansu only had time to write a few words, and then hurriedly carried Cang Jinglan and ran away. Now he finally has time to explain the reason for his move to Duan Yu.

As soon as Cang Jinglan's whereabouts were exposed, the envoys must have nails put in by the other party, and their status must not be low.Keeping this unstable factor is likely to leak military information and bring death to the soldiers who are already difficult to support. Since there is no time to carefully screen out where the nails are, it is better to kill them clean.

Second, smoke bombs can be used for the troops of Chengguo and Prince Cheng.The other party couldn't understand Duan Yu's sudden change, so naturally they wouldn't rush to kill them all, otherwise, after so many days, Duan Yu's original [-] soldiers would have been wiped out, so how could he have the energy to go deep into the enemy's country to respond? .

Finally, Cang Tiansu was worried that there would be a mistake on the way, and that he and Emperor Cang Jing would really die in Chengguo. No matter what the reason, the emperor died in the northwest, after Duan Yu's personal soldiers joined the envoys. no.

Rather than let Duan Yu and thousands of soldiers be buried innocently, it is better to kill the only envoy that can jump out to convince the officials of the emperor's whereabouts, as long as no one of his own can prove that the envoy and the Duan family's soldiers have met However, the people of Cang Kingdom would not believe either Chengguo's statement or the rebellious Prince Cheng's statement.

At that time, Duan Yu insisted on delaying the trip on the road, and when he arrived at the accident site, the emperor had already been killed, and the Northwest Army put pressure together.

What Cang Tiansu didn't expect was that as soon as his plan came out, Prince Cheng took advantage of the opportunity to get off the donkey and bit him back. Taking advantage of the fact that the people of Cang Kingdom didn't know that the emperor was in the middle of the envoys, he jumped out to accuse the Liu family and the second prince of house arrest. , rebellion.

Before the emperor's guard of honor departed and the emperor who was supposed to be in the imperial city disappeared inexplicably, the officials in the capital couldn't argue with it. They could only reason that the emperor was ill in the Eucharist and was recuperating in the Panglong Hall. Even the morning court had stopped.

Since this time, with Cang Jinglan not showing up in front of people for longer and longer, the generals who did not believe Prince Cheng's words have gradually become suspicious, and the atmosphere in Cang Kingdom has become more and more tense. building" posture.

Chengguo chose to stand on the sidelines, not helping either side, and was busy encroaching on the weakly guarded territory of Cangguo.Duan Yu didn't dare to contact Cang Tiansu, whose life and death were uncertain, for fear that he would accidentally send a sheep into the tiger's mouth, so he had to appease the restless Northwest Army, and while sending people to resist Chengguo's invasion, he set off for Chengguo to meet Cangtiansu.

The major general has not been able to sleep well in the past ten days. He has been frightened every day, and his whole body has shrunk several times. In addition, he has just been tossed to death, and as soon as his head rests on the pillow, he falls into a deep sleep without saying a few words. past.

Cang Tiansu was also exhausted, lay down on the outside of the bed, before he could close his eyes, he heard a knock on the door outside.

Zhang Kun's voice came in a low voice: "General, some Lianjiazi came here just now and picked up the person who was with you. Do you need brothers to stop you?"

"Let him go." Cang Tiansu looked at the dark ceiling, a little dazed—since Emperor Cang Jing's men had already contacted him, why did he have to suffer so many more days with him?

Thinking about it this way, the eldest prince of Cang Kingdom lost all sleepiness, turned over and sat up, and came to the room where Cang Jinglan lived.The group lived in a group of temporary wooden houses, and this room was only separated from Duan Yu's by a thin board. Emperor Cang Jing must have heard the sound of the tossing just now.

Although the way he expresses his meaning is very weird, but Cang Jinglan is a smart person after all, so he must be able to understand.Cang Tiansu, who exchanged Duan Yu's lifelong safety with the grace of saving his life, was beating in the room, and sure enough, he took out a dirty kit from the crude bed partition.

He reached in and pinched the hard contents, and after tracing out the rough shape, the corners of his lips raised upwards, his brows crooked with a smile.Dealing with smart people saves effort.

Half a piece of warm jade, the shape is exactly the same as the half piece in his military tent, and it can be pieced together.Emperor Cang Jing handed over the military power to him.

"Is there any news about the father?" Cang Tianci, the second prince of the Cang Kingdom who was temporarily in charge of the country, hurriedly asked when Li Quan, the great eunuch who often accompanied Emperor Cang Jing, came in and stopped him from saluting.

Li Quan lowered his eyelids: "Back to the second prince, the spies sent to the northwest have heard the news that the envoys were wiped out in the fight with the bandits and the Chengguo army, and no one survived."

Cang Tianci couldn't help but gave a wry smile, and sat back on the chair, the energy from his body seemed to flow away in an instant, and the look on his face also faded completely.He waved his hands wearily, looking at the piles of folders on the table, he felt his nose sore.

The last hope was shattered, and now neither he nor the emperor's uncle could produce any evidence to prove the whereabouts of the father, and the few generals who had been released were dubious and said nothing.

But because he insisted on not allowing the Liu family to interfere in political affairs, more than half of the ministers in the DPRK and China have jointly signed a letter, and the meaning of persecution in the words has become stronger and stronger.

Prince Cheng's nearly [-] troops had already fought all the way under the slogan of "Qing Jun's side", passing through the garrison along the way, the general in power not only did not stop him, but simply commanded the troops to make way for the mob.

One side wants a seat in the center of Zhengguang Hall, while the other side is still assessing the situation and is unwilling to take it lightly. There is no essential conflict between the two parties for the time being, and they have nothing to do with each other.

None of the seemingly loyal generals on weekdays was willing to be the leader at this juncture, and all of them stood on the sidelines, waiting to see the jokes in the capital.

Prince Cheng has never been on a battlefield in his life, and 10 people were assembled temporarily. He didn't dare to make big moves under Emperor Jing's nose, and he was not fully prepared. If it wasn't for this rare opportunity, Will not be unable to hold back and attack suddenly.

Emperor Jing left more than [-] elite troops in the imperial capital, plus a few generals stationed in Beijing who were good at fighting.

——The key point is that without the emperor's letter and tokens, without the help of the powerful Liu family, Ren Cang Tianci was the prince of the country appointed by Emperor Cangjing before his inexplicable disappearance, and he had no ability to move the elite troops stationed in Beijing.

What's more, although Cang Jingcheng firmly insisted that the second prince and the Liu family formed a party for selfish interests, most people in the world believed this kind of rhetoric, but in order to prevent the Liu family from becoming big and the situation of a real change of dynasty, Cang Jingcheng kept clenching his teeth and did not delegate power to Liu. Family, so that it is restricted everywhere in the court, the situation is really bad.

Li Quan watched Cang Tianci turn around in a hurry, and sighed in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor really knew things like a god.

In the first few days in prison, the second prince did a very good job. He was strict and followed the rules. Although he did not say that he handled everything in an orderly manner, he did not make any major mistakes.Very rare at his age.

But when Prince Cheng launched an attack and the world's doubts appeared and the doubts became louder and louder, the second prince lost his sense of proportion.Constrained by the general environment, he can only follow the trend and barely keep himself from falling in the torrential water, but he has no ability to turn the tide and turn the world upside down in one fell swoop, turning the water against the current.

He always thought that such a situation was only planned by Emperor Cang Jing, and that it was purely used to test the successor. Eunuch Li Quan never thought that the matter would have long been beyond the control of His Majesty the Emperor, who in his mind is like a god.

If Cang Jinglan was more than [-]% sure that the current mess would be straightened out, he would not hand over the military power to Cang Tiansu before leaving Chengguo.

Emperor Cang Jing knew very well that Cang Tiansu tried his best to save him, and to save Duan Yu's life was just an excuse that both of them could accept on the bright side.

Duan Yu's life would be in danger, but only on the premise that he was still alive.As long as he dies, naturally no one will be idle and just go to provoke the major general who has made great achievements in battle.

Cang Tiansu's plan was just to stabilize the situation.Cang Tian must ensure that before he is fully prepared, the current power structure of Cang Kingdom will not change too much.

Cang Jinglan is stuck with the [-] people of the Northwest Army to provide supplies. Even if he knows that his eldest son is facing an enemy that is several times or even ten times stronger, he is unwilling to increase the number of Northwest Army, just to limit the power in Cang Tiansu's hands.

There are 10 troops in the Northwest, even if all of them are willing to follow you, Cang Tiansu, to plot against you, there are four other [-] troops in Cangguo, and the two sides are really fighting. The Northwest Army does not have enough food supplies, whoever loses? It's hard to say who wins.

Cang Tian is suspicious by nature and takes every step at every step, and will never make a move until he can ensure that there are no mistakes. The change of dynasty in the family is something he does not want to see.

Sitting in the carriage, Emperor Cang Jing sorted out the past month's events in his mind, and found somewhat depressingly that his eldest son, whom he thought was very similar to him, was actually different from him in many ways.

If it were him, if he saw his old man lying there dying in a deserted place, he would definitely go over happily to make up for it.

Cang Jinglan has an adventurous nature, so in order to test the two heirs and seduce the silly younger brother who is ready to move, he would rather expose himself to danger.

Emperor Cang Jing was very happy to play gambling games, and he was also very happy to raise troops to rebel, so he would not care about the life and death of the old emperor.

But Cang Tiansu didn't intend to do that.In General Zhenbei's view, instead of fighting for slim chances, it is better to hold on to the existing guarantee.When you are not [-]% sure of seizing the throne, it is better to sell a huge favor to the current emperor and continue to lie dormant and wait for the best time.

It's so uncute!

Cang Jingdi, who also took a bath and had a full meal comfortably, watched Yi Hao put away the dishes lazily, yawned moderately, and began to think very seriously about the problem that had troubled him for a long time question.

——Why just passed his 16th birthday, the eldest son who should be full of drive doesn't even have the slightest courage to resolutely gamble?Counting every step to ensure success, is he tired of living?

Li Quan waited quietly for several hours, seeing that Cang Tianci's dejected expression showed no sign of getting better, he finally said, "Second prince, why don't you write a book and send it to the northwest?"

Cang Tianci froze in the movement of the tumbling memorial, and his face was pale. After a while, he played with the ink brush as if nothing had happened, shook his head and said: "Unsurprisingly, the father disappeared in the northwest. We don't know where to go during this period of time. What role did the Northwest Army play, it's better not to provoke..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to hide the change in his expression.

When the emperor's uncle poured dirty water on him with empty words, Cang Tianci had expected that the most prestigious and powerful General Zhenbei would stand up and speak out for him.

But time passed day by day, and the situation became more and more critical. Seeing that the dynasty was about to fall, but the hundred thousand Northwest Army remained silent, his heart was gradually getting colder.

Cang Tianci silently chewed the two words that he had recited countless times in his mouth, and his eyes became more sore.Are you unwilling to believe me without knowing the truth, or are you waiting for the day when I fall from a high place because you know the truth?

When you were young, when you were acquainted with each other, you were ignorant and ignorant, and the "brotherhood" that could only be maintained by me alone for several years, in your heart, is it true that it has no weight at all?
