History of Yongwu

Overcast clouds covered the warm sun behind, and the sky at dusk was already gloomy. Zhuo Qingfeng followed the guide, walking steadily step by step.

When King Jin occupied Yanning Pass, he left Zhao State and rushed here. He knew that if he didn't stop King Jin, he couldn't stop it anymore.

And Zhuo Qingfeng understood better that Yan Shijun's talent could not support his ambition, he would only choose to fight for the hearts and minds of Wu with King Jin and the military power in Guanzhong as before, but he couldn't see that the world had already changed.

The well-behaved fights in the past can no longer hinder Jin Wang, and this time he can only put all his eggs in one basket.

"Hou Ye..." He stood inside the house, and he had a faint premonition of Yan Shijun's thoughts in his heart.

"Brother Zhuo" Yan Shijun looked at him, after being together for so long, he still wasn't used to Zhuo Qingfeng's thick bamboo hat, "You said Cheng Wang could use it, why?"

"Wang Cheng was born in a humble background, but he was able to compete with Yu Wang and others for the throne in the end. Before guarding Yanning Pass, it was this person who completed it in adversity. It can be seen that Cheng Wang has a firm mind and is absolutely incomparable to others. He will never admit defeat, he can rely on this alone," Zhuo Qingfeng sat down by himself, and said to him.

"Brother Zhuo has seen King Cheng?" Yan Shijun looked at him and asked suspiciously.

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded, and said through the black gauze curtain, "When I was in Mingyue, I had met King Cheng several times. He knew my relationship with Daxueshan, and he always wanted to win me over."

Yan Shijun pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows to look at him and said, "How will Brother Zhuo use Chengwang?"

"Get close to King Jin and kill him!"

"Kill" Yan Shijun guessed that his face behind the curtain should be distorted, "Brother Zhuo, you and I both want to kill King Jin, but...you and I both understand that it is difficult to have the right time"

"Master Hou, you forgot one thing"

"what?"

"The general trend of the world" Yan Shijun looked at him and said nothing, Zhuo Qingfeng sneered in his heart, and continued, "No one dares to disobey the current King Jin. As long as he returns to the capital, countless people will take the initiative to give the throne to him. The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty can't stop it at all, Mingyue has been swept away, and the land of Wu is about to surrender, if you really wait for King Jin to clean up everything, who can shake him?"

"If you say so, kill King Jin, all the generals of the Jin Kingdom..."

"Master Hou, you forgot that Mingyue has not yet returned to King Jin. If King Jin dies at this time, what will happen to Mingyue, and what will happen to Wudi? This is the most suitable time."

Zhuo Qingfeng didn't continue talking, the world was basically pacified, leaving only Zhao Guo, a land of three counties, nothing to worry about.

As soon as King Jin dies, the panicked Wu family will immediately hug the court's thighs, and the 20 Jin soldiers will be trapped in the bright moon without a leader. Do you want to survive in the enemy country forever?

Yan Shijun's eyes flickered, and he also figured out the joints, but he still asked hesitantly, "Then Zhao Zhiping?"

"In the state of Jin, there is only one master of the Jin army, and that is the king of Jin. Zhao Zhiping is not the master. Only the king of Jin can gather all the officials of the state of Jin under his tent and let him order him. All the officials of the state of Jin who suddenly disappeared, except Crash without any other possibility"

After Zhuo Qingfeng finished speaking, Yan Shijun looked at him solemnly and asked, "Brother Zhuo, what do I need to do?"

"unnecessary"

Zhuo Qingfeng stood up suddenly and untied his cloak. The scar across his face made him look hideous and terrifying. His cheeks, which had not seen the light for many years, turned white and looked ghostly, making Yan Shijun subconsciously back away.

"Master Hou, the king of Jin ordered Zhuo to fetch it himself, I only have one thing to tell Master Hou"

"Please enlighten me"

"If Zhuomou fails, no matter what happens in the future, Lord Hou must take the life of King Jin, otherwise Lord Hou and the Queen Mother will end up worse than Zhuomou."

Yan Shijun nodded, Zhuo Qingfeng put on the bamboo hat, turned and walked towards the door.

"Brother Zhuo" Yan Shijun stopped him suddenly, looked at his sideways and said, "You and I are not close friends, why do I warn you like this?"

"Because I hate the Qin family. If I fail, I hope that your ambition and hatred will not stop, but will continue to burn until the Qin family is all dead without a place to bury you."

Yan Shijun smiled and said to him, "Yes, my ambition has been burning"

Zhuo Qingfeng also turned sideways slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Master Hou, who made you change your mind?"

"Yuliang" Yan Shijun stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "He said that King Jin's enemies are all allies."

Zhuo Qingfeng looked at his pride and sneered in his heart, Yan Shijun still didn't understand that Nangong Yuliang's hatred was not for him, and he didn't intend to remind him that it was better.

"Master Hou, the Queen Mother may be the one who can completely erase King Jin."

Yan Shijun was startled, Zhuo Qingfeng had already left when he turned his head.

The cold wind was blowing into the room, and he looked at the white snow outside the window, and suddenly felt nervous, just like planning to kill his uncle back then, he was both scared and excited, but nothing could stop the desire surging in his heart.

Southern Moon City

The cold air flooded the whole city, Sima Shaojun would miss Dayong's capital at this time, and as a man of Mingyue, he also deeply loathed the winter here.

Prince Cheng's Mansion was extremely quiet. Although there hadn't been any wars here, and there wasn't any intrusion by the Jin army, but in those chaotic days when Mingyue City was broken, many servants fled in panic.

"Prince" Liu Yanshen suddenly appeared.

"Yan Shen?" Sima Shaojun was surprised, then asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"I'm an aide of Prince Cheng's mansion, so I should come." Liu Yanshen half-bowed his head, and Prince Cheng's still elegant smile made him sad.

"Haha... what staff are there at this time?" Sima Shaojun shook his head, and led him into the house, "Didn't you make things difficult for the Liu family and your father?"

Liu Yanshen sat on the chair, his brows frowned, a little ashamed.

"Prince" Liu Yanshen lowered his eyebrows and said, "People from the Eight Great Families are still gathering in front of King Jin's gate to seek an audience. I heard that they already have the idea of ​​letting His Majesty abdicate."

The Liu family is also one of the aristocratic families. When the country fell, none of Jiumuende's aristocratic families thought about how to save Mingyue. Instead, they all abandoned Emperor Wu and eagerly wanted to seek refuge with King Jin. Make him feel ashamed.

"Abdication?" Sima Shaojun burst out laughing, remembering Emperor Wu's ridiculous and pathetic appearance, "Your Majesty will not agree even if he dies."

Although Emperor Mingwu was self-righteous and stupid, he was not so confused. Emperor Mingwu, who had abdicated the throne, would immediately become a sacrifice for the loyalty of several big families, and a sacrifice for competition.

Liu Yanshen nodded slightly, glanced at Sima Shaojun, then quickly lowered his head, hesitated, and said, "There are rumors in the palace that I want... the prince to marry Jin Wang"

"Fixed?"

"It's marriage." Liu Yanshen buried his head very low.

Sima Shaojun's calm expression suddenly froze, and he lowered his head halfway, without answering.

'You lied to me again! '

"Has Zhao Zhiping, King Jin's aide, come back?"

Liu Yanshen kept his head lowered, but when he heard the question, he suddenly raised his head, but he saw that King Cheng's expression was still the same, and there was no change.

"I'm back, I heard that many people from aristocratic families went to visit, but they were pushed back one by one"

Sima Shaojun nodded, and thoughtfully said to him, "Jin's government is very different from Mingyue's. Zhao Zhiping has always favored Jin's state affairs, and has a deep influence on the Jin king. The eight aristocratic families want to establish a new king and continue to protect their own interests. But I forgot that King Jin is not as deceitful as His Majesty."

Liu Yanshen understands this truth, but he doesn't know how to use it. His brows were tightly frowned. He looked at King Cheng and said, "My lord, what should we do to save Mingyue?"

"I don't know." Sima Shaojun finally felt melancholy, stood up slowly and sighed, "Just watch the time and wait for action."

Liu Yanshen also stood up and gave a deep salute to King Cheng's back. He hadn't got up for a long time. It was a shame for Liu Yanshen that he couldn't save the country from danger, and that he couldn't save the king from difficulties.

In the bleak Mingyue City, even the people of Mingyue couldn't bear the cold, but outside the gate of King Jin Xingyuan, several carriages were leaning aside, and people from aristocratic families who came to visit still gathered at the gate, despite the bleak cold wind Everyone who was blowing trembled slightly, but their eyes were still fixed on the door, motionless.

The damn weather!Qin Yu sneezed, and felt cold all over again.

A brazier had been added to the house, but he felt chills coming from the gaps in his clothes. He raised his head and looked out of the window. The cold wind, Qin Yu felt that the sun was damp and cold.

It has been more than ten days since the Jin army entered Mingyue City. Qin Yu has been ill since entering the city. The way God celebrated the victory for him is really special.

But this is also just right, otherwise His Royal Highness King Jin really doesn't know how to shirk and not go to see the Mingyue family.

"My lord, you summoned your son Qi" An Dinghou entered the door to salute.

"Well...how is Chengwang's Mansion?" Qin Yu nodded and motioned him to sit down.

"King Cheng stays in the mansion every day and doesn't come out. Only Liu Yanshen, an aide in his mansion, went to visit the day before yesterday. After staying for half a day, he went back. Ziqi also sent someone to watch Liu Yanshen, but there was nothing unusual."

Qin Yu nodded, looked at him and said, "Liu Yanshen is the son of the Liu family, right?"

"That's right," An Ziqi said, looking at King Jin, "But Liu Yanshen's father and the head of the Liu family don't agree with his actions, and the Liu family didn't instigate this matter."

King Jin nodded again, and told him to "keep an eye on Prince Cheng's mansion carefully, and make sure there are no omissions."

"My lord, Mingyue is still like this, but King Cheng has long since lost his ability, so why should he pay so much attention?" An Ziqi asked puzzled.

"Cheng Wang is determined, able to endure humiliation, and will never give up easily." Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought of the ambush that day, "This king can't make another mistake."

King Cheng deserves so much attention?An Ziqi was a little hesitant, and before he could ask, Li Han walked in.

"My lord, Master Zhao is here"

"please come in"

Zhao Zhiping had just returned from the southwest, Mingyue City had already been destroyed, and Wang Meng was enough to take care of himself, so he immediately returned to King Jin's side, Mingyue City had more important things waiting for him.

"See Your Majesty"

"Sit down." Qin Yu tightened his cloak and hid back. The cold wind brought in from Zhao Zhiping's body made him feel cold again.

"Is the prince going to marry Cheng Wang?"

"Cough, cough, why did you say that, sir?" Qin Yu stared at him, and saw Lord An who was also shocked.

isn't it?Zhao Zhiping seemed more surprised than the two of them, "Why didn't the prince marry?"

what why?Qin Yu looked at him wonderingly, "Where did you hear that the king has this intention, sir?"

"Mingyue has always had rumors that the prince has a very good personal relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, and that Prince Cheng is elegant, humble and personable, which makes the prince fall in love with him."

This rumor... Qin Yu frowned, his face became serious, and he looked at An Ziqi with doubts in his eyes.

"That's right, there are indeed such rumors in the city, because the lord is ill, and Ziqi also thinks the matter is ridiculous, so he didn't report it," An Ziqi replied respectfully.

King Cheng and King Jin only met each other in Pengcheng, and the result was not happy. How could they have such a good personal relationship, and what made An Ziqi even more puzzled was that even though King Cheng was really handsome, King Cheng was lying in ambush outside Yanning Pass. King Jin, how stupid would King Jin fall in love with you.

"..." Qin Yu looked at Zhao Zhiping, "It's pure nonsense, sir, ignore it"

"I don't think so." Zhao Zhiping cupped his hands, "No matter what the intentions of those who spread the rumors are, it is beneficial to the prince to see the marriage with the bright moon now."

"Is there?" Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Zhao Zhiping looked at King Jin and said in amazement, "How could the lord not know that King Cheng was one of the candidates for the crown prince of Mingyue? King Duan died in battle, and King Yu was missing. King Cheng is the only heir of Mingyue." , if you can marry the prince, you will be able to take over the throne of Mingyue in an upright manner, without having to rely on the eight great families, and then run state affairs with the strength of the ninety-five supreme powers, completely taking Mingyue into your palm."

"An Ziqi, what do you think?" Qin Yu's palms were sweating, and he turned to look at An Ziqi.

Master An's expression collected, he thought about the matter seriously for a moment, and replied, "Ziqi thinks what Mr. Zhao said is reasonable."

You are all reasonable, so isn't this king making trouble for no reason, Mr. Zhao is addicted to marriage!Qin Yu muttered in his heart, leaning on the pillow, looking at the two of them.

"But Princess Jin is in the capital, do you want Prince Mingyue to take the side seat?"

"It's just a small trouble." Zhao Zhiping smiled and thought that the King of Jin was loose. "My lord can give up the position of concubine, so the Marquis of Xiang must not dare to say too much now."

A concubine who is unlikely to have children will not hinder anything, Wei Shi will never say too much.

"Prince" An Ziqi finally looked at the King of Jin, lowered his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "I heard that Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty also thought this way. The prince first flattened the moon, and he still needs to treat the Sima royal family well. Now the marriage naturally needs the permission of Emperor Mingwu, so the prince may not be able to do so." Jiuding, on the contrary, there is another Yueshan that hinders you."

"That's wrong." Zhao Zhiping looked at him and said, "Emperor Ming Wu is a foolish old man. The emperor is just a false name. As long as the prince holds the power, there is no need to talk about it. Even if the king has a different heart, the prince can be imprisoned in one place. meet"

A cold light flickered in Mr. Zhao's eyes. He understood King Jin's current status better than anyone else, and God helped King Jin. Emperor Shao was young, Emperor Ming Wu was old, and no one was in his prime. Those courtiers in the Golden Palace knew that no one He is more worthy of the position of emperor than King Jin.

The marriage between King Jin and the Wei family and the Chu family, apart from all the things at that time, Zhao Zhiping had expected that when the world was peaceful, these two marriages would put King Jin on the throne. No one can stop King Jin, even King Jin himself.

Mr. Zhao strongly supports the marriage because he, like Du Xuetang, saw King Jin's retreat, so for the first time, Mr. Zhao boldly designed King Jin, so that King Jin has no choice but to sit on the throne.

Qin Yu lowered his head halfway and didn't see Zhao Zhiping's expression. He just felt a little pain in his head, and the room was silent, waiting for King Jin's reply.

"This matter, what you both said makes sense." Qin Yu looked at them, smiled and said, "Let's discuss it later."

"Yes" An Ziqi took the order.

Zhao Zhiping felt a little regretful, but he still respectfully accepted the order, "I understand."

"Zhiping, continue to deal with soldiers from various places, sort out Mingyue counties, and continue to track down King Yu. This king doesn't want a day when he leads the army to restore Mingyue and add chaos to this king," Qin Yu instructed.

"The humble minister leads the decree" Zhao Zhiping slowly backed out.

Qin Yu looked at An Ziqi and said, "Restrain the Jin army and don't disturb the people. You are right. Now we still need to treat the Sima royal family and those aristocratic families well. As for Chengwang's mansion, we can't relax."

"Ziqi Takes Order"

An Ziqi also retreated quietly, leaving King Jin Xingyuan. He sat in the carriage and glanced at the people around the gate of King Jin, his face suddenly became gloomy.

For the first time, I felt that this political struggle was so hypocritical and disgusting!
