Chapter 932: Lead the Snake Out
(Thank you 774488 for the tip and thank you.\\)
The wind is blowing, and the snow is dancing.
On the Loess Plateau in Weibei, a mountain range is like a swimming dragon, according to Yuan Tiangang, the great Chen national teacher, this mountain is the dragon head of the dragon vein of Chang'an in Guanzhong. Therefore, Wulong Mountain is also referred to as Longshan, and because the general Tu Baiqi of the Qin Dynasty once garrisoned here, this mountain is also called Baitang Mountain.
Flying snow overnight, the whole dragon mountain like five dragons circling is also completely shrouded in white snow, looking from afar, the five dragon mountains are even more majestic, the five winding mountains also seem to be five crystal white dragons hovering.
"Meet Your Majesty, the King of Yueyang County is not allowed to bring a sword!" At the gate of the Chinese army camp under Longshan, Chen Lei, the general of Yulinwei, blocked the first batch of eighteen royal Chen Zhigao who was crowned the king of the county not long ago.
Chen Zhigao's father Chapter 932 led the snake out when it was after the Sui army broke through Jiankang City, his subordinates had also surrendered to the Sui army, but he still did not give in to the Sui Dynasty, and was known as Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang, who was the last backbone of Southern Chen. After Chen Shushen died, he and his younger brother Chen Zhisong were raised by Chen Shuming. Last time, Chen Kefu added eighteen Chen clan members as county kings, only a few years older than Chen Kefu, but the generation was Chen Kefu's ancestor Chen Zhigao, so he was demoted to inherit Chen Shushen's title.
Compared with the older generation of clan members such as Chen Shuming and Chen Shuda, Chen Zhigao is obviously a young Zhuang faction. Especially in this western expedition, after Chen Shuming and Chen Shuda were entrusted with important tasks, and he was also awarded the post of marching director, his heart became more active. All along, he was unwilling to reuse the emperor's meritorious heroes, and even those surrender factions, but he was a little indifferent to them, the clans of the serious Chen family. In his view, an outsider is an outsider, and his own family is his own family.
Just like Chen Lei, Chen Lin and others, although they are also surnamed Chen, they are just the servants of the family who fled to Hebei with the emperor from Jiangdong. But now these people are crowned princes one by one, and the officials worship the position of generals, but it is their clans that have the same blood on their bodies, but they can only divide some idle but no real power of the official titles Chapter 932 to lead the snake out of the position.
The wind and snow came all the way, but he was stopped at the gate of the camp by this Chen Lei, and Chen Zhigao's face was cold. After a pause, he unsheathed the sword and handed it to Chen Lei, but the moment Chen Lei took the sword, he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and the blade of the sword was forced on Chen Lei's chest.
Chen Lei's face was calm and unmoved.
Said coldly: "Your Majesty brought a sword to break through the ban before the imperial tent, the crime is complicit in rebellion, and you will be killed!" ”
Chen Zhigao hated and was helpless, and after glaring at Chen Lei, he put his sword into the sheath, threw the sword on the snow, and walked into the camp.
In the dragon tent of the imperial guard of the Chinese military camp, several braziers were burning, making the tent warm as spring.
In the tent, Chen Kefu was wearing a peacock fur with a golden dragon pattern, holding his chin with one hand and closing his eyes slightly in contemplation. Chen Zhigao stepped into the tent, with a little more awe on his body, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the king of Yueyang County is here!" ”
Chen Kefu was like a lion who had just woken up, raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhigao, and after scanning him up and down twice, he said coldly: "I heard that you have been very active recently, and when you were in Kyoto before, you recruited the members of the clan to have a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days. Life is extravagant and frivolous. This time, I sent you to the Western Expeditionary Army, but I heard a lot of ridiculous things about you. I heard that you not only harassed the local people, but also gathered brawls with the officers and soldiers in the army, gathered people to gamble, and even openly robbed the people's daughters? ”
Chen Zhigao's face stiffened, and his eyes were a little evasive, but he still stiffened his neck and said loudly: "This must be said by Chen Jie's vicious dog, this dog is Li Valve's remnant, he is specifically unable to get along with our Chen family." ”
Chen Kefu's forced gaze had a sneer in it, and he couldn't help but feel a little colder when he looked at Chen Zhigao.
"King Yueyang, you must know that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat. Da Chen once died in the country, and now it is difficult to recover the country, do you still want Da Chen to die again? Haven't you learned a lesson in the past 30 years? The world of the Chen family is laid down by the soldiers, and for these heroes who have made contributions to the restoration of the country, you have to be respected, and if you are allowed to join the army, you must not be sloppy in the army. "It is said that the tiger father has no dog, and I think that Chen Zhigao's father, Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang, is not as old as Chen Zhigao is now, but his actions are impressive. Even Chen Shuming, although he is a bit of a good person, is also a downright and elegant person. didn't expect that Chen Zhigao was so disdainful of him.
"The minister is not sloppy." Chen Zhigao relied on the fact that he was Chen Kefu's uncle, and although he was criticized by the emperor in person, he still refutated without letting go.
"You went on a safari every day after you entered Long with the army......"
"Yes, hunting......"
Chen Kefu looked at him coldly: "Your safari harasses the people!" You robbed the people's daughters, and you announced yin during the day. I asked you to join the army because I wanted you to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but what did you do? ”
Chen Zhigao saw that Chen Kefu's voice had increased a few points, and he was a little weaker at the moment, and whispered: "Yes, yes, in fact, they are a few wives and daughters of Liu Wuzhou's old department."
Chen Kefu saw that he didn't know anything wrong at all, so he slapped his palm on the desk and shouted: "Bastard! Liu Wuzhou has already died, how can there be any old Liu Wuzhou? Now Longshang has long been the territory of my Da Chen, and every person in this land of Longshang is also a citizen of our Da Chen. You are messing around like this, and you have lost the hearts of the people, don't you still want to come to an official to force the people to rebel, and then force them to rebel against our Chen family? ”
Chen Zhigao was already angry, but at this time, he jumped up after being reprimanded by Chen Kefu, and shouted: "I know, don't you just want our Chen clan disciples to share your power?" When Emperor Chen built a recovery throne and summoned you to lead the army south, you were unwilling, otherwise where did the Shen family come from and put us under house arrest for several years. Now that it's hard to see that the Chen family is going to sit in the world, you would rather believe those outsiders than your own family, to put it bluntly, aren't you afraid that others will snatch your throne? The Emperor Taishang is only in the age of the sixtieth year, but you only mention the intention of letting the Emperor Taishang rule, and you are respected as the Emperor Taishang early, which one of those thoughts does not understand? ”
"Enough!" Chen Kefu slapped the table and shouted angrily. The more Chen Zhigao said, the more outrageous it became, and he really let him continue to say it, and he didn't know what to say.
"Thinking of your father's backbone back then, today I will not pursue your sin of unbridled mouth and nonsense. Merit rewards and punishments, of course, these I have to be evened out with a bowl of water. The civil and military ministers of the imperial court can sit in their current positions because of their birth and death, and they are strategizing. What about you? Just because you are a member of the Chen family, you can be in a high position without merit, and I treat you very well, but I didn't expect you to be dissatisfied, it's really funny! ”
Taking a few breaths and calming down the anger in his heart slightly, Chen Kefu coldly did not look at Chen Zhigao. Today's events are actually not Chen Zhigao's intentions. As early as after recovering Jiangdong and taking back the clan, there has been an undercurrent in the DPRK and China.
For the dissatisfaction of the clan, Chen Kefu added eighteen county kings last time, added a lot of other titles, and gave a lot of money and land, which can be regarded as a placation to the clan. I thought that this matter would be solved, but I didn't expect that some of the clans would get their noses on their noses.
Today's outburst of Chen Zhigao can also be regarded as a temptation for those dissatisfied clansmen. Especially with the repeated victories of the Chen army, first down to Jiangdong, and then to Longshang and Longyou, seeing that the unification of the world by Dachen was close at hand, those clans couldn't wait even more.
The power of the clan, if used well, can be a screen and a guarantee. If it is not used well, it is the source of civil strife, and it is a double-edged sword.
"Dethrone Chen Zhigao as the king of Yueyang County, and from now on, he will be demoted to a concubine, and deprived of all official titles and royal property."
A cold voice came out, but Chen Zhigao, who was like a thunderbolt, was stunned and couldn't react locally.
After a pause, Chen Kefu said again: "From now on, Chen Zhisong will be given the title of king of Yueyang County, and he will be awarded the position of a permanent attendant." ”
Chen Zhisong is Chen Zhigao's younger brother, and they are both Chen Shushen's sisters-in-law. Degrading Chen Zhigao to a wasted person, this is Chen Kefu using thunderous means to deter those Chen clan members who are secretly tempting. However, he didn't want to do things all at once and cause a backlash from the clans. After a big stick, the position of the king of Yueyang County was given to Chen Zhisong, which also made the other clans have nothing to say.
Of course, this was just a temptation from some of the clans and a stern response from Chen Kefu. How to develop, Chen Kefu is not too worried. Although there are many Chen clans, there are few who can really make waves. If it weren't for Chen Kefu to borrow this power of the clan to balance and contain those heroes of the opposite sex who were constantly getting bigger, he wouldn't have worked so hard.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this"
Chen Zhigao didn't expect that this nephew emperor, who was only a few years younger than him, would be so ruthless, and in a word, he would demote him to the end. It was really at this moment that he remembered that the person in front of him was Chen Pojun, who had personally defeated a great Chen Jiangshan in the sea of corpses and blood. It's no longer the puppet emperor Chen Shen in Jiangnan who followed them in everything.
Regret, fear. It's just that it's all late, and Chen Kefu has always either not done it, or he will never leave any room for it.
Several imperial guard officers had already walked in and dragged Chen Zhigao out like a dead pig, leaving only the miserable screams that were fading away.
Although Chen Zhigao was demoted to a concubine, he had previously rushed all the way from Beidi County, bringing with him the two battalions of the Western Expeditionary Army, the two battalions of the East and West, and the four major generals Chen Shuming, Chen Shuda, Chen Kedi, and Chen Jie.
Yuwen Chengdu Turtle retreated into Changwu, and wanted to fight a protracted war of attrition with 100,000 Chen troops from the two battalions in the east and west. The Western Expeditionary Army has already drawn up a response plan, that is, to bluff and pretend to attack Chang'an, lure the snake to dispatch, force Yuwen Chengdu out of the city, and then wait for the opportunity to find fighters for a decisive battle.
ps: It's finally time to come to an end, and the end of Sui has written more than 3 million words and more than 900 chapters. This month, Muzi will work hard to finish, and it is estimated that it will end around a thousand chapters. Thank you all for your continued support, thank you!!
