Chapter 1314: Where the Crisis Is

Hu Decai and Qi Chong both felt nervous when they heard this, and after thinking about it, it was indeed a little inappropriate, they could die to apologize, but it was really not necessary to let tens of thousands of robes behind them get rid of their crimes.

This kind of action, which is tantamount to mutiny, is a serious crime according to the laws and regulations of the country, and if His Majesty pardons all of them, it will be a great joy for them. However, it is also inevitable that they will leave a legacy of trouble, and their behavior can be regarded as a bad example of 'committing the following crimes'. In the future, there will be unscrupulous people who will follow suit, obviously to implement military advice, but secretly they are doing unscrupulous things, which can be said to be infinitely harmful.

If His Majesty severely punishes him in accordance with law and discipline to set an example, it is equivalent to chilling the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who are loyal to the monarch and the country. In the future, if there are lawbreakers in the army who cause rebellion, no one will come forward to stop them, and military discipline will inevitably be abolished, and the commander-in-chief who has lost his restraint will become more and more arrogant and reckless. It will eventually lead to the loss of morale, low morale, and a decline in combat effectiveness.

"Marquis Duyu, before this matter, the lower officials were worried, but now that the wood has been completed, the mistake has been cast, and the lower officials can only atone for their sins with death, and please make this matter clear to Your Majesty, don't implicate the robe behind you!" It can be said that a word woke up the person in the dream, Hu Decai thought of the consequences of the incident, and shivered in the summer, he really did a bad thing with good intentions, and put His Majesty on the fire as if he were roasting. He let out a long sigh and saluted.

"Bastard, as soon as you die, the tens of thousands of soldiers behind you don't know the truth, just think that this official is complicit with him to force you to death, and he will inevitably avenge you. At that time, the comrades would turn against each other, and the Eighth Army would also be regarded as a rebel by the imperial court, and the military title would be stripped and the soldiers would be dismissed. How can you be worthy of the Eighth Army, worthy of the robes who have shed blood side by side with you? Xie Ming twitched the corners of his mouth a few times when he heard this, and scolded angrily.

"Please also ask Marquis Du Yu to show me, the lower official doesn't want to become a sinner of the Eighth Army!" Hu Decai realized that his idea was too simple, and he couldn't exchange his life for the safety of everyone, and sighed and saluted.

"There is room for redemption now, but you must not clash with the brothers in the camp, because if there is bloodshed, the situation will surely get out of control." Xie Ming pondered for a moment and said.

"I want to listen to the orders of Marquis Duyu!" The two replied in unison.

"Okay, first of all, tell the army the news of His Majesty's safety, so as to stabilize the morale of the army. Then he led his army out of the camp for three miles to stand by, and isolated from the soldiers stranded in the camp to avoid conflict. Then you will give a detailed account of the matter, and I will also write another letter to Your Majesty, and you will send your confidants to send my token to Fancheng Palace. Then I will negotiate with Du Shuai and try to persuade him to go to Fancheng to see him together! Xie Ming thought for a moment and said.

But how do you explain it to the armies? If you have been on call here for a long time, I am afraid that there will be right and wrong! Qi Zhong said worriedly.

"Hmm...... Let's just say that Your Majesty is safe at the moment, and we will rush to avoid misunderstanding, and send someone to contact us first, and then we will act! Xie Ming nodded, thinking about it.

"It's okay, just according to what Du Yuhou said!" Qi re-bowed.

"Marquis Du Yu, if you want to enter the camp alone to discuss with Du Shuai, will it be dangerous? Do you want to send troops to accompany you! Hu Decai asked.

"No, if you bring troops into the account, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding. Besides, Du Shuai still knows the general situation, but he will do something offensive to His Majesty when he is confused, and he regrets not being at the beginning at this time! Xie Ming waved his hand.

The plan has been decided, and the three of them each wrote a letter by hand, and ordered their cronies to go to Fancheng with the letter of Duyu Hou Yin and the letter Pegasus. After explaining to the army, Hu Decai and Qi Zhong respectively supervised the army out of the camp and waited for three miles outside the camp. After the army left the camp, Xie Ming rode back to the camp to see Zhang Ba and persuade him to escort him, so as not to make mistakes and mislead himself......

…………

After Fancheng broke through in the afternoon, Ni Liang led two brigades to rush into the city, and the Yuan army, which had lost its command, retreated to Xiangyang without fierce street fighting. Subsequently, the divisions moved to clear the remnants of the enemy and clean up the battlefield. At this time, there were sporadic battles, and in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty, the car still stayed outside the city for the time being, and did not enter the city.

"Your Majesty, Fancheng was broken in one battle, I hope the attack on Xiangyang can be so smooth!" Wang Yinglin accompanied the emperor to speak in the camp.

"I'm afraid Xiangyang won't go so well, now that the Jingxiang army is slacking off, we must first rectify the army's morale and then fight, I'm afraid it will drag on for a while." Zhao Yu looked at the fireworks that had not been extinguished in the direction of Fancheng and chuckled.

"Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for nearly a few years, and all the ministers in the court are looking forward to the early return of the holy car, and the battle in Xiangyang is still a quick decision!" Wang Yinglin said.

"I am also like an arrow, when I left Beijing, the queen and the two concubines were pregnant, I thought that I could return to Beijing to accompany me after the war between the two Huai, but unfortunately I missed it." Zhao Yu was also a little sad.

"The ancients said: The family is tired, and you can't sit down." Wang Yinglin said, "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, first conquer two Huai, and then fight Jingxiang, every time you are in danger, if there is a case, the country will be ownerless." In addition, our dynasty is only two years old when it recovers Jiangnan, although the people's hearts are attached, but there are always people who are not subservient and thieves who do not die. Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for a long time, and you will take the opportunity to cause chaos when you urinate, so it is better to return to Lin'an as soon as possible. ”

"There is a queen mother in the capital, I can have no worries, and there is no chance to take advantage of the small night!" Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty, the minister has heard that after Meng Yuanqi and the delegation entered Beijing this time, someone wrote to welcome back Emperor Deyou, and the Empress Dowager issued a decree to hold a court meeting to discuss this matter." Wang Yinglin knew that he was suspected of instigating the relationship between His Majesty's mother and son, but he thought about it as a matter of state affairs, so he still said it.

"Haha, I know what the king means. There have been cases of the queens of previous dynasties arbitrarily exercising power and disorderly government, but there are very few things of the queen mother disturbing the country. What does the king think? Zhao Yu laughed when he heard this.

"This ...... What His Majesty said is true, there are things in history that have been abolished, but the Queen Mother has few ministers who oppose it! Wang Yinglin lowered his head and thought for a moment, as His Majesty said.

"Well, with the Queen Mother here, I can rest assured that I can be outside, and I don't need to worry about things in the palace!" Zhao Yu nodded.

Zhao Yu knew that in fact, Wang Yinglin's confusion was also the confusion of many people. Throughout the history of the world, the ancient Chinese empress dowager can be called the strongest in the world and the top of the harem upgrade. But the ancient queens of our country were often deposed, but the queen mother was repeatedly regent and held power, why is this? Why are the traditional literati doctors who have always opposed the "heroine upholding" and "chicken Sichen" so loyal to the queen mother?

In his previous life, Zhao Yu also thought about this problem, when "The Legend of Miyue" was on the air, the Queen Mother was in power since the beginning, and she was the first Queen Mother in the real sense, and she also coined the term Queen Mother.

Mi Yue is the wife of King Qin Huiwen, who was born as a nobleman in Chu State, although her status in Chu State was not high in her early years, but after she arrived in Qin State, she was favored by King Qin Huiwen. But at this time, she was just a favorite concubine, and after the death of King Qin Huiwen, she was sent to Yan Kingdom, and her son Yingji became a proton. However, Miyue's power skills were outstanding, and King Yingdang, who ascended the throne later, died too early.

The Qin State has no owner, and Miyue took the opportunity to return to China with Yingji to take the throne. You must know that when Miyue's mother and son returned to China, it was full of dangers, but as soon as Miyue returned, she immediately eliminated dissidents and became the ruler of Qin. Yingji, that is, King Qin Zhaoxiang, was young at the time, so he relied on the support of his mother's family, which became the first time in history that a real relative and the empress dowager were in charge.

Since the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, Liu Bang's wife Empress Lu has become the new peak. Empress Lu's talent was not shown much when Liu Bang was alive, but his wrist was also quite powerful. After Liu Bang's death, she began to regent, the first time called the system, that is, her documents were called "system", and the emperor was called "E", at that time, the authority of Empress Lu was still above the emperor, and even in the later period, Empress Lu named her Lu family as the prince, which can be described as monstrous.

What's ridiculous is that Liu Bang has just set a rule: whoever is not surnamed Liu but the king will be attacked by the whole world. It can be said that Liu Bang's face was swollen, but no one in the world dared to rebel when Empress Lu was there, and when Empress Lu died, the kings surnamed Liu raised troops to revolt and restore the country. Next, I have to mention Wu Zetian. As the only female emperor in the history of our country, Wu Zetian has controlled the government for more than 40 years, and can be called the queen mother of the queen mother.

However, extreme power-exclusive regency like Wu Zetian and Empress Lu was not the whole face of the ancient Empress Dowager regent, and in history, there was also the so-called harmonious regency. For example, the Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the famous Emperor Xiaowen were peaceful regents, as well as Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao, Xiaozhuang and Kangxi, and the Empress Dowager would return to the emperor after helping the young lord to manage for a period of time.

Among them, Xiaozhuang's cultivation of Kangxi is also very planned, Xiaozhuang has been personally presiding over his schoolwork and government affairs in the early days of Kangxi's succession, and when Kangxi became an adult, Xiaozhuang returned power to Kangxi, and also helped him cut off the power of the ministers, so that Kangxi grew up quickly, which can be called a model between the queen mother and the emperor. Since the Empress Dowager is so powerful, what is the situation of the Empress in Chinese history?

Compared with the queen mother, most of the ancient Chinese queens had a hard time.

First of all, there are a lot of people in the harem, and the queen is the master of the middle palace, but she doesn't necessarily have the final say, such as Ming Xianzong's favor Wan Zhen'er, and the queen has to take a detour. Sometimes, you are not the only queen, for example, Emperor Zhou Xuan has five queens, and he also has the same number as Go, what Tianyuan Empress Yang Lihua, Tianzhong Empress Chen Yueyi, in fact, it is better to simply go southeast, south, west, west.

However, there are more difficult things than you think. There is no less intrigue in the harem than in the TV series. There are countless deposed queens in Chinese history, and the end of the deposed is better to be in the cold palace and almost die directly. In history, there are only two people who can deeply grasp power as a queen, one is Sima Zhen's queen Jia Nanfeng, and the other is Wu Zetian.

So the question is, why is there such a big gap between the queen and the queen mother? What's the difference? The questions that he couldn't figure out in his previous life were figured out by Zhao Yu in this life, and the reason why he was able to get the answer was also the insight he got after personal experience, and it was very profound......
