Chapter 264: Intrigues
Taihe Palace, the imperial study, when the worthy eunuchs were thrown out, only the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Allure and the Emperor were left in the huge study, and Chen Xiyan, the first assistant today.
"Tilting, both sides of Jingshi and Dingzhou have been prepared, and the auspicious time has been decided, and in two days, you will set off!" Apocalypse looked at his sister who was sitting under him and said gently.
"Yes, Brother Emperor!" Allure bowed slightly, "Does my brother have anything to say to me?" ”
Tianqi froze slightly, his eyes turned to Chen Xiyan, and the current first assistant nodded knowingly, there are some words that Tianqi is not very suitable for, whether it is as the emperor or as the elder brother of Allure, so this is the emperor's intention to keep him here.
"Your Highness the Princess!" Chen Xiyan clasped his fists and saluted.
"Don't dare to be the first assistant!" Allure hurriedly returned the salute.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have grown up in the military camp since you were a child, and for so many years, you have been commanding the palace guards, and your identity is very different from other golden branches and jade leaves.
"Master Chen said it clearly." Allure glanced at the apocalypse, and his heart was slightly sour, the state affairs were difficult, and the seemingly beautiful brother was only a few years, and the gray hair was already visible between the hairs.
"The state affairs are difficult, although His Majesty the Emperor has made great efforts, but the sinking is deep, frozen three feet, not a cold. The wealthy family, controlling the government, setting up the royal family, the emperor's edict, hundreds of miles out of the capital will become a dead letter, and Dachu is already in danger. Chen Xiyan said with a straight face.
Allure's face changed slightly, although she knew that the state affairs were difficult, but she didn't expect that the government and government had been chaotic to this point, she already knew that her marriage to Li Qing was a naked political marriage, listening to Chen Xiyan said, I was afraid that if I went to Dingzhou, the burden on my body would be heavier. At this time, she suddenly understood why she would bring half of the palace guards.
Although Li Qing is a son of a family, but in the final analysis, most of his career is earned by himself, this son is a great talent, in just a few years, he rose in the bitter cold land of the border, and now it is even more Bayar to the end of the road, pacifying the barbarians, it is a matter of the night. With the power of the barbarians, this son's reputation in Dachu will be useless for a while! Chen Xiyan said.
"Tilting, I have been extremely discouraged about state affairs, but Li Qing's birth made me see hope, this is my intention to marry you to him, although I didn't discuss with you beforehand, but with Li Qing's family background and talent, if you marry him, it will not humiliate you." Apocalypse suddenly interjected, as if to explain something to Allure.
Allure smiled slightly, but did not make a sound.
Chen Xiyan continued: "Li Qing is either a capable minister who rules the world, or a hero in troubled times, but there is only a glimmer between the two!" ”
The city is terrifying and shocked.
"With the talent of the princess, after arriving in Dingzhou, there will be a great achievement, if you can assist Li Qing to achieve the ability to rule the world, Her Royal Highness the princess will be unmatched in the work of Dachu!" Chen Xiyan said eloquently.
Allure bowed his head and was silent, Chen Xiyan's meaning was very clear, if he wanted Li Qing to become a capable minister in the world, first of all, he could not be made a hero in troubled times.
"Compared with other wealthy families, there is a thing that is extremely beneficial to the princess under Li Qingzhi, that is, his subordinate generals and important ministers have almost no shadow of wealthy families, most of them are born in the bitter cold and start from the reckless. Like the military generals Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, and Guoshan Feng are all from poor backgrounds, even if they are Lu Da's predecessors, they are also the same. Other civil official systems, chief military advisor Shang Haibo, and Wenchen's first Lu Yiming, are all people who were originally unwilling, and this generation has no good impression of the wealthy family, that is, Li Qing, judging from his previous performance, he has no good impression of the family's disciples. Chen Xiyan began to analyze Li Qing's important ministers.
"Although the Li family tried their best to win over Li Qing after his career, it seems that the Li family's infiltration effect on Dingzhou is not great, so after the princess goes to Dingzhou, there is a lot to do."
"Lord Shoufu wants me to win over Li Qing's important ministers?" Allure asked.
Chen Xiyan smiled slightly, "The majesty of the Heavenly Family, for those wealthy families, is no longer attractive, but for these Wenchen generals from poor backgrounds, it is still very useful. Chen Xiyan said this almost naked, and Tianqi felt uncomfortable, but he had to admit that only a person like Chen Xiyan, who was loyal to him, would say these words without scruples.
"After the princess gets married, she is the mother of Dingzhou, and the princess is not the kind of golden branches and jade leaves raised in the deep boudoir before, this Li Qing is also clear, so the princess can naturally contact these civil and military generals justifiably, temptation, differentiation, and wooing. So that these people can be loyal to the court and loyal to the princess! ”
Allure took a breath, shook his head and said, "Lord Chen, as far as I know, these people are Li Qing's friends of life and death, or Li Qing has the grace to live, or Li Qing is simply at the end of the slight cold, and if you want them to betray Li Qing, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”
Chen Xiyan smiled: "Why do you say betrayal? Princess, you are the mother of Dingzhou! As long as they can be loyal to the princess like Li Qing, that's fine, if after a year and a half, the princess can give birth to a scale for Dingzhou, it will be even better! ”
Although Allure was bold, when he suddenly heard this, his face was still red, his eyes were slightly angry, and he glanced at Chen Xiyan, but when he saw the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he took a breath and slammed it back.
"At that time, His Majesty the Emperor will sit in the center, if necessary, under the call of a call, Dingzhou will bravely enter the customs to respond, which will definitely deter Xiaoxiao and buy time for His Majesty to slowly revitalize the dynasty!"
Allure was in a heavy mood, Chen Xiyan's plan was to put it bluntly, to let himself be a princess, slowly divide and win over Li Qing's generals, and put Li Qing in the air, but is this matter so simple?
"Dingzhou has made such achievements in the past few years, except for Li Qing himself, I am afraid that many of his subordinates are smart and far-sighted, how can they give me more opportunities?" Allure hesitated a little.
Chen Xiyan sighed: "This is natural, but the work is in the people, the success is in the sky, with the ability of the princess, plus your unspeakable identity, the possibility of success is still very large, you went to Dingzhou, you should pay special attention to two people, one is Shang Haibo, this person's ambition is not small, from the investigation of the staff division to him, this person's ambition is not small, it is difficult to deal with, the second is the director of the statistics department Qingfeng, although this person is a woman, but the act is unfathomable, compared to Shang Haibo, it is more difficult to measure, presumably some of the things that have happened recently are clear to you?" ”
Allure nodded, "Qingfeng girl, I've heard of it a long time ago!" ”
"There is good news that Qingfeng and Shang Haibo are incompatible, and the contradictions are very deep, and there is a lot to be done here, with the talent of the princess, you should be able to grasp the opportunity and the fire."
Allure had a big headache, she was more interested in commanding the soldiers and horses, going straight to the point, as soon as she heard Chen Xiyan's twisting and turning, her scalp was numb, but she had to listen carefully, think about it, and even do it.
"The princess is married this time, His Majesty will take Fuzhou as a dowry and the princess will be the commander, the princess can take the palace guard as the backbone to form the Fuzhou army, in a military town like Dingzhou, as long as you have an absolutely loyal army in your hands, plus your dual identity, you can be invincible."
"I see!" Allure nodded.
Tianqi stood up, "Tilt, I know that this matter is very difficult for you, although you are at home from your father, married from your husband, but you are a royal princess, your identity is different, I am in the Yuan family, and I have been in the same vein for hundreds of years, and I have never had such a sinister form as today. ”
Allure also stood up, "Brother Emperor, don't worry, I will definitely do this, and I will definitely make Dingfu and Liangzhou become my brother's right-hand man." ”
Chen Xiyan and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a look of relief on their faces.
Luoyang, Xiao Mansion, Xiao Haoran, Duke of Qi, Jing'an Hou Fang Jialuo, and Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, were gathering in the study to discuss secretly, a day ago, the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Chen Xiyan, the content of the secret conversation between Princess Allure appeared on a file in the hand of Qi Guogong, seeing these contents, Qi Guogong laughed and said: "Chen Xiyan really has a good calculation, His Majesty the Emperor is also willing to let his favorite sister do such a thing, it is really sick and rushed to the doctor!" ”
Jing'an Hou Fang Jialuo sneered: "The so-called reluctant children can't trap wolves, our Emperor His Majesty has invested a lot of money this time, I want to see if this famous princess of Allure can hold Dingzhou in her hands." ”
Xiao Yuanshan shook his head and said: "Impossible, if there is a set of generals with the princess of Allure, this kind of intrigue is definitely not what she is good at, Dingzhou Shang Haibo, Qingfeng are all scheming people, I am afraid that this princess will go to Dingzhou, and after a few tosses, she will be polished to lose her temper." ”
"With this princess's surname, if there is no success in the secret, maybe a real knife and a real gun will come to take it away, and if we can mess up the two states, then it will be great for us." Jing'an Hou Fang Jialuo hated Li Qing to the core, but hoped that after Allure went to Dingzhou, it would cause civil strife in Dingzhou.
"We don't want to put our hopes on this, Yuanshan, you firmly control the capital, make all preparations, Brother Jialuo Xian, you immediately go to Bingzhou and Lanzhou, I want to launch in the capital, these two states can immediately mobilize the whole state to prevent Li Qing's division from entering the customs."
"Patriarch, if that's the case, will Li Qing wave his troops and knock on the pass?" Xiao Yuanshan asked.
"It's just a precaution!" Qi Guogong said with a smile, "We have to choose the best time, that time, let Li Qing have the heart and the power, when he comes back to his senses, the overall situation on our side has been decided, what can he do?" ”
Xiao Yuanshan suddenly burst into a trance, "You are going to wait for him to launch the final decisive battle with the barbarians." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Haoran said: "At that time, the eyes of the whole world were focused on Dingzhou, and we launched it at this time. When he has the energy to look back, the overall situation on our side has been decided, what can he do? ”
