Wen Chenghuan glanced at Zhou Ruiyuan, and knew in his heart that he was going to play tricks again, Wen Chenghuan said: "I would like to listen to Lord Zhou's high opinion" Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Hu Xiaotian is indeed arrogant, on the premise of finding no evidence, he actually dared to kill the commander of the Yongjiang Naval Division, this son is insidious and treacherous, he actually defeated Tang Boxi's 30,000 elite sailors with 3,000 people, and he can go deep into Wuxing County alone, kill Zhao Dengyun and retreat with his whole body, the minister really can't figure it out, does Zhao Dengyun have no followers among the Yongjiang Naval Division, and the more than 30,000 soldiers under his command are indifferent to the fact that they watched the commander being killed."
Wen Chenghuan said: "It's all because Hu Xiaotian used grain and grass to lure those soldiers, and he should have planned to kill Zhao Dengyun for a long time, and there is no lack of his internal response among the Yongjiang sailors, and it is said that the person who personally attacked it was Zhao Dengyun's nephew Zhao Wusheng." ” Zhou Ruiyuan deliberately took a breath of cold air and said: "Then it's troublesome, doesn't it mean that Hu Xiaotian has already controlled Wuxing County, Wuxing County is the northern gateway of Dakang, if it falls into the hands of thieves, wouldn't it be a big trouble, Your Majesty must immediately send troops to take back Wuxing County." ” Long Xuanen heard that Zhou Ruiyuan was saying the opposite, wouldn't sending troops to conscript Hu Xiaotian to rebel, if Hu Xiaotian had already controlled Wuxing County, then he would have more than 30,000 elite sailors of Yongjiang, and if he wanted to conquest, he was afraid that he would have to pay a major sacrifice.
Long Xuanen said: "Hu Xiaotian did not rebel, and the situation was not completely ascertained, how could he act recklessly." ” Zhou Ruiyuan bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty Shengming, even if Hu Xiaotian is ambitious, but in this situation, the minister's suggestion is to appease, now it is different from the past, in the past, he only had one Dongliang County, just blockading Yongjiang, he could cut off his way of life, but now Wuxing County is really under his control."
He had the conditions to negotiate with the Yong people, and if he sent two cities to Dayong, Dayong would not forgive his sins. ” Although Long Xuanen knew that Zhou Ruiyuan was talking to Hu Xiaotian, what he said was indeed very reasonable.
Wen Chenghuan sneered: "According to Lord Zhou's intentions, Hu Xiaotian is not only not guilty of killing Zhao Dengyun, but also has merit."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister has never said that Hu Xiaotian is a loyal minister.
This son is ambitious, and it can be seen from his current actions that he is eager to gain a firm foothold in Yongjiang, and the purpose of taking Wuxing County to control the Yongjiang Naval Division is to bargain with His Majesty, but in this situation, if His Majesty does not adopt a forbearant attitude, it will only push Hu Xiaotian to the side of Dayong, and ultimately damage the interests of Dakang."
Long Xuanen said in a low voice: "Tell me your suggestion." ” Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Since things have come to this point, if you don't do a favor, Zhao Dengyun is dead."
Even if he clears his grievances, he can't be resurrected, Zhao Da was loyal before his death, and he will definitely not mind contributing to the court after his death, as long as the emperor understands his loyalty, he will ostensibly sit on Zhao Dengyun's name as a foreign country, and give Hu Xiaotian a heavy reward, anyway, Wuxing County is already under his actual control. simply sealed Zhao Dengyun's position to him. ” Wen Chenghuan laughed on the side and said: "Lord Zhou is really thoughtful for Hu Xiaotian, he committed such a catastrophe, and he actually had to be added to the rank of knight."
Zhao Dengyun has a bloody heart, sacrifices his life for the country, and finally ends up in the name of betraying the country, Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou, have you ever thought about the word justice, have you ever thought about the cycle of heavenly principles?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said calmly: "Justice is in the hearts of the people.
When the country is in danger, what is the greatest, if the reputation of one person is sacrificed in exchange for the peace and prosperity of Dakang, I, Zhou Ruiyuan, have no hesitation, and it is not enough to die to regret Master Wen, but to replace it.
Do you think your reputation is more important than your country?"
The muscles at the corners of Wen Chenghuan's lips twitched, and he greeted Zhou Ruiyuan's ancestors for eight generations in his heart, Zhou Ruiyuan, Zhou Ruiyuan, your trick is so poisonous.
He bowed to Long Xuanen and said: "Your Majesty, the minister firmly believes that you must not condone a traitor like Hu Xiaotian, if he is allowed to gain power, he will only take the opportunity to become bigger, once he is full-fledged, he is afraid that it will be difficult to cure him." ” Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Wen Taishi is bent on punishing the crime, I don't object, then send someone to kill him, if he dies, Dayong will no longer pursue the defeat, and the crisis in Yongjiang will be lifted, or choose another merit to go to Yongjiang to deal with the crisis caused by him, anyway, I don't have the ability, Wen Taishi may be able to go now, maybe it's time."
"You" Wen Chenghuan was so angry with Zhou Ruiyuan that he couldn't refute it.
Long Xuanen frowned and said, "You all don't say a few words, let you give me ideas, but you are here to make trouble for me, go down" The two bowed down and left, leaving the palace gate, Wen Chenghuan was so angry that he no longer paid attention to any demeanor and demeanor, and walked away.
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at his back with a smile, shook his head, and suddenly saw a figure in the distance walking quickly, it was Hong Beimo of the Tianji Bureau, the two looked at each other, smiled at each other, but did not talk, Hong Beimo hurriedly entered the Qinzheng Palace.
Long Xuanen didn't have much of a good face after seeing Hong Beimo, and said coldly: "Why did you come so late?"
Hong Beimo said: "Your Majesty, because some things have been delayed, so it is late, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ” Long Xuanen said: "You have seen the two of them" According to the time of Hong Beimo's arrival, he should have met Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan just now.
Hong Beimo said: "I saw it, I didn't bother to speak." ” Long Xuanen said: "The two of them, one wants to kill Hu Xiaotian, and the other wants to reward Hu Xiaotian, I am a little at a loss. ” Hong Beimo said: "Your Majesty should have an idea in your heart, and their opinions are not important to Your Majesty. ” Long Xuanen waved his hand, and Wang Qian and the others all withdrew.
Long Xuanen said: "I really regret it, I shouldn't have let Hu Xiaotian out." ” Hong Beimo said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty's release of him is actually a clever move. ” Long Xuanen said: "How do you say this?"
Hong Beimo smiled and said: "The most important thing for Your Majesty is time, the Yongjiang defense line is where Dakang's natural danger lies, no matter whether Zhao Dengyun is loyal or traitorous, it can't change the fact that he is a mediocre talent, let such a mediocre person go to guard Yongjiang, I'm afraid that he will not be able to resist the attack of the Dayong Water Division." ” Long Xuanen said: "Xue Shengkang is already dead, don't worry about it for the time being." ” Hong Beimo shook his head and said: "It is precisely because Xue Shengkang is dead and Dayong Xinjun is on the throne that he will be eager to establish his prestige in the hearts of his subjects, and the easiest way for a monarch is to conquer, conquer the hearts of his subjects by conquering the land of other countries."
The reason why Tang Boxi was in a hurry to capture Dongliang County was nothing more than to dedicate this city to Xue Daohong as a gift, so as to gain trust, but it was a pity that he met Hu Xiaotian. ” Long Xuanen said: "Hu Xiaotian's battle may provoke a full-scale war between the two countries. ” Hong Beimo said: "This battle is destined to be fought, according to the information obtained by the minister, Dayong has begun to prepare, and he will send troops south in the early spring of February." ” Long Xuanen said: "Hu Xiaotian may advance this battle. ” Hong Beimo said: "Since he has the ability to defeat Dayong's 30,000 sailors with 3,000 people, he may not be able to block the attack of Dayong's army in the future, Your Majesty may not know that there are rumors of 3,000 people in the outside world, but in fact, a total of 5,000 people participated in the battle, and 2,000 people came from the beggar gang." ” Long Xuanen's eyebrows moved: "Beggar Gang" Hong Beimo lowered his voice and said: "Void Lingkong has always been hiding in the beggar gang, I think this matter should be related to him." ” Long Xuanen said: "It seems that I have no choice but to push the boat down the river." ” Hong Beimo said: "What really matters to Your Majesty is time, at most one year, the minister can be done, and then the world is not in the hands of Your Majesty."
Long Xuanen stroked his beard and said, "You'd better not let me down."
Xue Daohong, the new son of heaven in Dayong, has not had a good time in the past two days, I heard that the 30,000 sailors of Nanyang Shuizhai were beaten by Hu Xiaotian's 3,000 soldiers and horses, not only the main general Tang Boxi was killed, but also more than 10,000 sailors and soldiers were captured, so shocked that Xue Daohong almost didn't drop his jaw, this news is too shocking, Tang Boxi is a famous general of Dayong, this should be a battle without suspense, but I can't imagine that the overwhelming advantage can not be turned into the final victory.
Huang Beishan, the secretary of the military department, stood respectfully beside Xue Daohong, from Xue Daohong's frowning brows, he knew that this new monarch was in a bad mood, and he had just suffered such a setback when he ascended the throne, which was a heavy blow to the high-spirited Xue Daohong, if he did not handle this matter properly, it would inevitably affect his status in the hearts of his courtiers.
Although Xue Daohong successfully ascended the throne, it does not mean that he can convince the public, there are still many other voices in the court, the seventh prince Xue Daoming has the support of Concubine Dong Shufei behind him, the Dong family has a very important position in the court of Dakang, and Taishi Xiang Liren is also one of Xue Daoming's staunch supporters.
After Xue Daohong ascended the throne, he should have started to eliminate these dissidents, but before he could act, such a big thing happened in the south.
In the past, the first person Xue Daohong thought of would be Li Shenzhou, he and Li Shenzhou were not only monarchs and ministers but also childhood playmates, close friends, but unfortunately Li Shenzhou was ordered by him to go to the Northern Xinjiang Labor Army, the real intention was to appease Wei Chi Chong, the old handsome, Xue Daohong knew that his father had been suspicious of Wei Chi Chong before his death, so he had Wei Chi Chong go to the northern Xinjiang border, he had just ascended the throne, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he must obtain the support of this important minister in the army, Li Shenzhou is obviously the best candidate to complete this task.
Huang Beishan said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received the news from Nanyang Shuizhai that Hu Xiaotian proposed the conditions for the release of the prisoners, a total of 11,300 prisoners, and he asked for 200 catties of grain per person, a total of 2 million catties. ” Xue Daohong sneered: "Is he a robber who robs homes and houses, and he actually uses such despicable means?"
Huang Beishan said: "Your Majesty, the more than 10,000 sailors are all elite soldiers of Nanyang Water Village" to be continued
