Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 150

In the 25th year of Xijia, just after the new year, when the palace was still full of joy and excitement, Fengcheng eight hundred miles stepped up to report, which brought a chilling meaning to this new year's festival.

The emperor urgently summoned the eight kings, the king of Liangjun, the second prince, and the Yangxin Hall of the Ministry of War to discuss matters and discuss countermeasures.

Liangjun Wang Muyao naturally received the news as early as his eighth uncle, and understood the reason for the emperor's anger.

Taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, the King of Fengyang led his troops around the North Daokou by surprise, and continued northward to return to Fengcheng.Burning, killing and looting along the way made the people live without a fixed place and suffered from the war and displacement.

Du Zicheng led his troops to intercept and failed, and lost a lot of manpower, so he had to send troops to station along the way to treat the civilians and wounded soldiers first.

Mu Xinyin sits in Fengcheng to guard against the attack of Fengyang Wang Shizi and the Bai family in Fengcheng, and there is no manpower to reinforce Du Jiu.Therefore, I wrote to the emperor to ask for reinforcements to keep Fengcheng and Nanluo.

The emperor handed the report to the second prince first, and everyone circulated the report.His eyes were shocked by the contents of the report.

"My beloved ministers, what's your plan?" the emperor asked after everyone understood the current situation.

"Mr. Du is young, and he lost the North Daokou. This is the source of disaster." The Minister of the Ministry of War said, staring at Liangjun King's cannibalistic eyes, and continued with a numb scalp, "At the beginning, he led his troops to chase after the remnant of Fengyang King. , the Ministry of War disagrees."

"Since the Ministry of War is so foresighted, why don't you adults talk about how to solve the current situation?" Mu Yao asked humbly.

"The king of Liangjun is serious." The Minister of the Ministry of War said solemnly, "The Ministry of War has no intention of targeting anyone. Although young general Du was born in the Du family in the northwest, he is still young. Compared with Yang Wang, there are still many shortcomings."

"It's not that the Ministry of War disapproves of sending someone to pursue King Fengyang, but the choice of this person needs to be considered carefully. At that time, the person who was in charge of the Chinese army and presided over the overall situation, immediately sent young general Du to the battle on the grounds that he would not accept the order of the king outside. It is expected that it will lead to today's disaster."

"My lord is saying that this prince is disregarding the overall situation? Then, please tell me, my lord, what should I do?" The second prince, who had been sullen and silent, couldn't help but choke.

On that day, the Eighth King issued an imperial edict to secretly return to Beijing, and he was on duty in Fengcheng.When Du Zicheng was sent to pursue King Fengyang along the road, first, he couldn't hold back those old fritters in the Chinese army, and there was no one to send him; The spirit of the concubine; the third is the main reason why he had to do it, because when the secret decree called the eighth uncle back to Beijing, he also had a problem.

His good father, the emperor, had already calculated that King Fengyang would abandon his wife and children and go south, so he ordered to find a way to send Du Jiu to Nanluo.

Who would have thought that Du Jiu would win people's hearts and appease the people in Nanluo afterwards, conscript the people into the army, train new soldiers, and stabilize the situation.After Mu Yao went south, he helped everywhere, but the uncle and nephew temporarily suppressed King Fengyang.

Hateful, Mu Xinyin was in the Chinese army, took his command and beat those old bastards.So after returning to Beijing, he learned that Mu Yao would also return to Beijing, so under the instigation of his mother and concubine, he joined forces with those few to assassinate Concubine Shu, so that Mu Yao could not return to Beidaokou.

The North Daokou is the battle point, Du Jiu is young, he is not the opponent of King Fengyang, Mu Xinyin will definitely go south to the North Daokou to general, and when the time comes, Fengcheng can be controlled by himself.He made great contributions in the final battle and gained power in the army.

Who would have imagined that the banquet incident would end in that kind of situation.He was forced to kill the grass and roots, and even met the people in Kunsang.

Since Kunsang married Qiyatou, it is natural that there is no conflict with the forces he represents.Now, in order to get away, he offended the Kunsang envoy and the dowry nurse next to Qiyatou, and Qiyatou listened to Hedu, and Hedu and him would be at odds in the future.

Before he could make a second plan and hold Mu Yao back, the battle started ahead of time.The North Daokou was tricked by King Fengyang, and he just abandoned it.The remnants of Fengyang directly dug tunnels in Beidaokou City, disturbed Beidaokou, burned and killed Beishan, and approached Fengcheng.

This situation is extremely unfavorable to him, but those people in the military department are still biting him, so that he will not be angry or defend himself.

He didn't do anything else, just to remind the emperor that Du Zicheng was sent out at the instigation of his father, and he can't be blamed now.

"The minister didn't specify the second prince, so why should the second prince be seated?" The Minister of the Ministry of War countered, "It is necessary to know that on the battlefield, a wrong decision by the general will lead to thousands of miles of bloodshed and thousands of dead bodies. The people suffer Does the prince really have a clear conscience about the suffering of the war?"

"The battlefield is critical, and this prince has done what he should do. As for my lord, the rest are here to blame this king, and it is not as good as whether the supply of the Ministry of War is qualified." The second prince used the military salary to run against the Minister of the Ministry of War.

When the two face each other, everyone should just watch a show.

"That's enough, I'm flattering, I'm so cute, I'm so cute
Those who had been arguing before all shut up and remained silent.

"Is it okay to be dumb?" the emperor asked. "It's not a problem to brag about taking Fengcheng one by one on weekdays. You are so capable. When it comes to employing people, what about people?"

"Brother Huang, calm down. The most urgent task is to send troops to reinforce Fengcheng to relieve the temporary difficulties." The eight kings had no choice but to appease the emperor's anger.

"Father, my son has a dangerous idea. I don't know whether to say it or not." Mu Yao hesitated and said, "It can solve the current predicament, but if it is not done properly, it may also make Nanluo fall into the flames of war again. middle."

"Tell me."

The king of Liangjun has been going south without saying a word.

"The king of the county said to borrow troops from the southern border?" Du Zitian reacted quickly, and spoke first before the servants of the military department understood.

The son of Nanjiang intends to take advantage of the influence of Daliang to bypass the high priest and aspire to be the king of Nanjiang.The princes of Southern Xinjiang can use one or two together.

"Du Aiqing thinks this method can be done?" The emperor asked, staring at Du Zitian, his eyes tightened.

"If you go back to the emperor, I think this method is too risky." Du Zitian still denied it, but then continued, "But if the southern border is willing to borrow troops, and with the cooperation of Liangjun King and Mu Daren, it is barely acceptable. Give it a try."

"If Du Aiqing goes with you, how sure are you?"

"Less than [-]%." Du Zitian replied, "Whether I go or not, there is not much difference. The Battle of Fengyang is no different than the Northwest. The Du family knows something about the Northwest, and General Lu also knows about Kunsang Hedu." It's really thorough. The minister just cooperated with General Mu and Liangjun King because of the right time, place and people, and narrowly won the Northwest War."

"What do you think, Old Eight?" the emperor asked. It's not impossible to borrow troops from the southern border, but it will hinder his future plans.

"My brother thinks that instead of borrowing troops from Southern Border, it is better to look far away." The Eighth Prince thought for a moment, "Instead of asking for help from a Southern Border prince who has no real relationship with Daliang, it is better to borrow troops from Daliang's real marriage-in-law, Kunsang."

The Eight Kings put aside the shocking thunder and continued to analyze, "Kunsang was defeated last time, and his vitality was seriously injured. Supplies are scarce, and he has to present the last year's tribute to Daliang. Other small tribes on the grassland have also begun to rise gradually, and Hedu must not be reconciled The foundation he established is gradually declining. I, Daliang, can give him a chance to become rich and powerful. Because of the seventh princess, Kunsang Daliang will not fight again in 20 years. Whether it is a vassal state or an ally, no one wants to benefit from mutual benefits. Enough is enough Good thing, Kunsang doesn't dare to go head-to-head with Liang Liang easily."

"The eighth uncle wants to borrow troops from Kunsang, so that the people of Hedu can gain wealth in the war and arouse blood." Mu Yao continued, "For Hedu, this is enough business. Since Kunsang was defeated in the Northwest War, , The bloody fighting spirit in the clan was frustrated. This is not a good thing for a fighting nation on horseback. Hedu should agree to this. As for the other small tribes around Kunsang, the Northwest Army can still defend them. "

"That's right, borrow Kunsang's combat power and give him great wealth. The king of Fengyang is as rich as an enemy, and there is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry. Only when Hedu has financial resources can he improve the livelihood of his tribe."

"There's not enough time." The second prince interjected, "And Kunsang is bloodthirsty, what should I do if he invades our Central Plains and hurts my people?"

"Then there are three chapters in the agreement, no killing of people, no indiscriminate killing, and no disturbance of people."

"It's time, it's too late." The second prince strongly objected, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different."

"There are no permanent allies, nor are there permanent enemies." Mu Yao shook his head, "What is the second brother afraid of? Or is he scruples?"

"The third brother is worrying too much, the second brother is just discussing the matter."

"In terms of time, it's too late." Du Zitian said, "Kunsang is a long way from the northwest border, and the distance from the northwest border to Yujing is not short, not to mention the distance from Yujing to Fengcheng."

"The situation may not be as bad as it is. You can send the commander of the Gyeonggi battalion to support it first, and the Kunsang troops can go there later."

As soon as Mu Yao finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.Gyeonggi Daying is responsible for defending Yujing and protecting the safety of the emperor.Kunsang passed Yujing, and Yujing was air defensed. If Kunsang or other neighboring countries invaded and Yujing fell, Daliang would really be in danger.

"Kunsang doesn't dare." Mu Yao spoke again, and said to the people in the hall, "Kunsang's Dayan family can invite Daliang to visit relatives. Hedu's heirs can invite Daliang as a guest. Hedu is not Fengyang King, his wife and children Life and death will not go unnoticed."

"This is too..." Everyone looked at Liangjun King with strange eyes. Kunsang's Da Yan family is Liangjun King's own sister, and also his most beloved sister, and even married the sixth prince for him.

All the ministers in the DPRK and China knew that the military power of the Du family was gradually being taken back, and the Lu family and the Du family had been at odds for a long time.In order to fight for the throne, it is no secret that the seventh princess asked for peace, but in a blink of an eye, King Liang was able to detain her sister and talk to Kunsang about borrowing troops.

This heart is too cruel.Too much like an emperor.

"Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times." Mu Yao faced those strange gazes squarely, "Mu Jinghan is already a woman from Hedu, the supreme Dayan family in Kunsang, and this king is the county king of Daliang. For Daliang, there is nothing It cannot be given up."

"How can the third brother be sure that Hedu will keep his promise and won't be rebellious? Can Da Yan and Zisi really handle this man Hedu?"

"Da Yan is three months pregnant." The emperor spit out these words, looking at the third son with admiration, enough ruthless, poisonous, and city-like.It's just a pity that I can't make it.

"Since this method is feasible, why don't we discuss it with Kunsang?" The eight kings looked back and made suggestions and inquiries first.

"The king of Liangjun and Xiaoer should go back to Nanluo and Fengcheng. Du Aiqing is going to talk to Kunsang. The uncle of the Dayan family is enough."

"Who will lead the troops in the Gyeonggi camp?"

"General Lu is still stationed in the northwest, and the Chen family is stationed in the southern border. Let Chen Song go to reinforce Du Jiu. Mu Xinyin is in charge of the overall situation. Unless necessary, the Kunsang troops do not need to go to the battlefield."

"Who is responsible for the defense of the capital?"

"The emperor appointed the Minister of the Guards and Internal Guards to be responsible for the safety of Yujing and the palace."

"Your brother takes orders." The eight kings were the first to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation to make arrangements.

"My dear friends, go and lighten your weapons and equipment, please order some supplies, and prepare for the military pay." The emperor waved his hand to signal the people in the military department to retreat, and said to his two sons, "You two go to the harem to bid farewell to your mother and concubine, Chunsha Show off your ugly toad!
"Daliang Ruidi Benji" records: On the eighth day of January in the 25th year of Xijia, the second and third sons of the emperor left the palace for Fengcheng and Nanluo.This was the first time that King Liang and the Second Prince went to the battlefield at the same time after they confronted each other in court.After the battle of Fengcheng, both of them were rewarded.The king of Liangjun was made a prince, and the second prince directly became a king by virtue of this battle.From then on, the two began a five-year struggle for the throne until the new emperor ascended the throne.
