Chapter 163: Far Away
There was a big incident in Chang'an City, and the city gate was closed, and the forbidden army and Yulin were guarding their posts. was busy in Chang'an City for a whole night.
Liu Che was alarmed, and the Empress Dowager was also alarmed. Taiwei Cheng hung his head in the Xuan room from time to time, and Liu Che sat next to the Empress Dowager with a stunned face.
"According to what you say, it was the people of the Yun family who committed the murder?" The silence was broken, and the Empress Dowager finally asked.
"Back to the Empress Dowager's words, judging from the blade. Only the Yun family has that kind of strange blade. The minister looked at it, and the stubble of the severed blade was level. Only the Yun family can make such good steel. From time to time, Cheng reported to the Empress Dowager very honestly at this time.
"That means that eight people from the Yun family can kill more than 200 forbidden troops of my Han unscathed!"
"Uh...... Cheng couldn't answer this ...... from time to time, because the facts did not allow him to defend himself.
"Then you told the old man some time ago, and you can set foot on the Yun family by giving you 20,000 elite soldiers. Eight people can beat you to 200 people and lose their armor. Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The Empress Dowager roared angrily.
Perhaps it was because she roared too loudly, and the Empress Dowager began to cough violently.
"The minister is guilty, the minister is ......" Cheng didn't know what to say from time to time. Today, I was embarrassed and thrown home, and 200 people were chased and cut down by eight people. And most of them were cut down, and no one was injured, and the eight people and eight horses returned to the Yun family uncovered.
"Go down, it's all useless." The Empress Dowager shouted violently, although she was old, the majesty of the female tiger was still the same.
There was a sound of armor below, because it was about the forbidden army, so the people who came to the Xuan room overnight were except for Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai. Most of them are the generals of the forbidden army and Yu Linwei.
The courtiers all retreated, and the room fell silent.
"This kid is demonstrating! The old body is looking forward to how he will explain today's events. Emperor, it seems that the old body has misestimated this Marquis of Lintong. "The bloody case is like a blow to the head that woke up the Queen Mother, and it is not an imaginary cat entrenched in Lintong. It's a tiger, a very scary tiger.
This tiger just stretched out its claws slightly, and it could completely lose more than 200 forbidden troops. If you really want to send troops to deal with the Yun family, what are the odds of winning? The Empress Dowager's self-confidence in numbers, which came from numbers, became gone.
People tend to go to extremes if an extremely confident person is hit hard. Then you will become extremely unconfident. This is the case with the Empress Dowager now.
"Fortunately, the matter of the fiefdom is just to inform Yunhou through Sister Guò. At this point, it seems that there is still room for manoeuvre for change. After all, Liu Che is still a teenager, and today's events have exceeded his expectations. He knew the elite of the Yun family's guards, but eight people could cut more than 200 people. It's a little too appalling.
"You're crazy, and the current situation is even more unacceptable. And even Right Beiping can't be given to him. This kid is too dangerous. If the three counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Liaoxi are given to him. In time. This kid can list the territory and seal the territory. This marquis must not be sealed. And the armies he had trained were to be disbanded. It has to be disbanded, it's too dangerous. ”
"Imperial Grandmother, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for him to disband the army. This will force Yunhou to rebel. With the combat power of the Yun family's guards. If Yunhou insists on going to Jiangnan instead, who can stop him. Youbeiping is a remote place, but Jiangnan is also a very far place. It is not reliable to expect the princes of Jiangnan to be reliable, and if he contacts Dongou and Yelang. I'm afraid that Jiangnan will immediately cause disaster. ”
The Empress Dowager was speechless, and now she has formed a dead knot. The troops cannot completely destroy the Yun family, and the prestige of not being a royal family will be gone. No matter what you do, it will cause the big man to tear. It is more likely to form a major problem in the south, if the Huns in the north attack again. The consequences can only be described as unimaginable.
"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty. The Marquis of Lintong sent someone to come and said it was ......" Qiandu stood under the Dan and looked up at Liu Che and the Empress Dowager sitting above, a little hesitant.
"Say what?" Liu Chehu stood up suddenly, he was really afraid to hear such news from the Yun family now.
"How many people are coming?" The Empress Dowager asked about the number of people who came, and the memory that Zhou Bo brought to her back then was too profound.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, there are only three people and three riders outside the city. The man said that Yunhou had learned that his subordinates were in rebellion and had already beheaded the troublemakers. And there is a recital that adheres to His Majesty. ”
Liu Che glanced at the Empress Dowager and beheaded the troublemaker? What does that mean? Even the scheming Empress Dowager couldn't guess what Yun Xiao wanted.
"Someone came into the city." Before Liu Che could react, the Empress Dowager had already given an order. After Qiandu glanced at Liu Che, he stepped back and passed the decree.
The grandparents and grandchildren who were high above did not speak, and the Xuan room fell into a deathly silence for a while.
I don't know how long later, the waiter outside walked in to report.
"Canghu, the captain of the Marquis of Lintong, visited the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty."
"Xuan!"
"General Xuanzhen Army's military captain Canghu is here!" The sharp voice spread far away, and soon a burly figure appeared at the door of the Xuan Room.
Canghu was followed by three black-armored guards, who carried a bunch of boxes in their hands. Canghu was holding a scroll of brocade in his hand.
Ever since Yun Xiao invented paper, Song Shu has generally used paper. It is not extremely important, and the brocade roll is generally no longer used. Now Canghu came in with a scroll of brocade, which made Liu Che a little uneasy. I don't know what Yun Xiao wrote in it.
"The minister Canghu knocks on His Majesty, the Empress Dowager." Canghu deliberately put the Empress Dowager behind Liu Che, and the Empress Dowager's face changed slightly but did not attack.
"What did the Marquis of Lintong send you to do?"
"Back to His Majesty, the Marquis of Lintong was sick and couldn't come. The special minister came to ask for guilt, and the Hou Ye learned that his subordinate guards were making trouble in the capital. He killed many people in the forbidden army, and he had already beheaded these rebellious guards according to military discipline. Now the minister is ordered to sacrifice the head to correct the law of the country, and there is also the Marquis of Lintong's invitation to the Majesty Xià Yulan. ”
Saying that, Canghu held the brocade scroll in his arms to the top of his head, and Qiandu took the brocade scroll and turned around and walked to Liu Che's side. Give the brocade scroll to Liu Che Yulan.
Liu Che watched the recital but did not speak. The Empress Dowager waited for a long time, but she didn't see Liu Che speak. couldn't help but ask: "What does the Marquis of Lintong say in his recital?" ”
"The Marquis of Lintong said that his majesty was not strict, so that such a thing happened. Ask the imperial court not to promote the Marquis of Lintong as the prince, and all the soldiers recruited in advance will be dismissed in the near future. When his health improves in the coming day, the Marquis of Lintong will personally come to Chang'an to ask me for his guilt. ”
The Empress Dowager was also silent after hearing this, but now she understands. Yun Xiao is not only good at training, but also very clever in politics. He knew that his current strength was simply not enough to compete with the imperial court. After a solid brush, he decisively stretched out the ladder to the royal step. In this way, the two sides can continue to stalemate in this way without hurting peace. Sure enough, he didn't want to break the status quo.
"You go back and tell the Marquis of Lintong that he will restrain his subordinates not to make such mistakes in the future. As for the plea, there is no need to be guilty, he is sick and not well. It is inevitable that there are some times when he can't take care of him, and the old body also understands his difficulties. His old body and majesty are ready, you go down! ”
After giving a salute, Canghu walked backwards out of the propaganda room.
"Imperial grandmother, this ......"
"People gave them a ladder, so let's borrow the donkey from the slope. Since he promised to disband the recruited soldiers, there is no need for us to persecute them too much. It's really the opposite, just like you said, the court will have one more confidant.
For people like him, the court wants to take it slowly. In the future, you have to guard against this kid, it can't be another Yingbu. ”
The Empress Dowager's tone was full of helplessness, although the power of the imperial court was still greater than that of the Yun family. But the Yun family already has the strength to fight, and the cat has become a tiger. It's no longer at the mercy of the royal family.
Chang'an City, which had been noisy all night, finally stopped, and the city gate was opened as usual the next morning. It's just that the captain of the north gate has been replaced by someone else.
Canghu went out of the city on horseback, and he made a special detour to walk up from the north gate. Looking at those forbidden troops who were fake and mighty, Canghu's heart was happy. Dai Yu really didn't cover it, and he actually killed more than 200 people with eight iron guards. Jing Chu's first swordsman really deserves his reputation.
Hou Ye cut off the heads of eight Qiang people and gave them to His Majesty as their heads. Sure enough, the old goblin of the Empress Dowager did not make things difficult. It can be seen that the royal family does not dare to do things absolutely.
"Brethren! Walk! Out of the city, the tiger beat his horse and whipped and galloped towards the Yunjia Zhuangzi.
Sure enough, the Yun family kept dismissing those newly recruited soldiers in the next few days. The training ground is not as lively as it used to be. The soldiers left the Yunjia Zhuangzi in groups, but the direction they walked was very consistent to the east.
Yun Xiao stood in the study and looked at the soldiers who were going east one after another, his body was almost better. After more than half a year of resting and lying down, he even gained some weight.
"Master Hou, tomorrow morning. The last group of people set off, and we really want to go to Jimo. Then take a boat across the sea to that place called Goryeo? Canghu asked, standing behind Yun Xiao.
"It's not Goryeo, it's called Mahan. The land there is also fertile and suitable for growing rice, and the rice produced is very tasty. Although it is colder than our Guanzhong in winter, it is not the land of the Han Dynasty after all. Let's go, and we'll have the final say. When you get there, you'll love it.
And there are not only mountains, rivers and seas, but the girl is also famous for her water spirit. Hahaha"
Yun Xiao looked into the distance, and his sharp gaze seemed to have passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, and crossed the ocean to look at the place that would later be called Korea. (To be continued......)
