In November of the year of Dinghai, the attention and attention of the whole of Northeast Asia were still concentrated on the Suiyang-Changyi line in the south.

The Wu-Chu coalition continued to besiege Suiyang.

The letters of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, asking for reinforcements, were hardly interrupted for a day.

However, Zhou Yafu, the Tai Lieutenant stationed in Changyi, sat idly by and ignored the Suiyang crisis that was close at hand, and wholeheartedly dug trenches, built high bases, and set up camps near Changyi, putting on the appearance of stubbornly defending Changyi and blocking the eastward advance of the Wu army.

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, naturally had a deep hatred for Zhou Yafu.

Since the end of October, almost every letter to King Liang has inevitably included the impeachment of Zhou Yafu, the chief lieutenant.

It's not just Liu Wu who is putting pressure on Zhou Yafu.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace also urged the Son of Heaven every few days, asking for an order to order Zhou Yafu to rescue Suiyang immediately.

That's it.

Because Zhou Yafu was stubbornly defending Changyi, except for digging trenches and setting up camps every day, he had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee also immediately fried the pot.

The impeachment of Zhou Yafu for being afraid of the enemy and cowardly in battle is already considered to be very face-saving!

When most officials mention Zhou Yafu, they are thieves who are eager to scold him as a disaster for the country and the people, and some people with strong imagination even think that Zhou Yafu must have taken a bribe from Liu Bi, the king of Wu, or colluded with Liu Bi, the king of Wu.

In such a public opinion situation, even Liu Che secretly sweated for Zhou Yafu.

Although Liu Che knew very well that his emperor father maintained absolute and unwavering support for Zhou Yafu's decision.

It can even be said that it is completely let go of Zhou Yafu to do it.

However. Being in the middle of the game and watching the fire from the other side are two feelings.

For example, in his previous life, Liu Che was far away in the river at this time. At most, what I felt was just some gossip, and as for his later life, at most I saw a few faint descriptions in the historical records.

At this time, as the crown prince, Liu Che felt the overwhelming pressure towards Zhou Yafu.

All kinds of gossip are flying all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

The mouth artillery party gave full play to their advantages and pointed fingers at the front-line war. It's not good here, it's not good, if they are replaced. That must be the posture of killing Liu Bi to be captured, effortlessly.

Under such pressure, even Liu Che's emperor father finally couldn't stand it.

November propane. The Son of Heaven issued an edict. Zhou Yafu's army was ordered to go south, and although the wording of the edict was relatively mild, it did not require an immediate south.

However, this also fully illustrates how unfavorable the current public opinion is for Zhou Yafu on the front line.

Liu Che took advantage of these disturbances to quietly recruit four or five official Mo artists from the Mo family, and waited until these public opinions were brewing to a peak. He took the prince's carriage and started the prince's guard of honor. swaggered and went towards Weiyang Palace with great fanfare, along the way, Liu Che changed his low-key attitude for more than a month, and made people go around publicizing that the purpose of his entry into the palace this time was to cheer up the Taiwei and make it clear that he wanted to support Zhou Yafu to the death.

"I'm really getting more and more undisciplined...... Liu Che thought in his heart, but his face was triumphant.

There is no doubt that Liu Che himself knows that his high-profile move, to put it bluntly, is a political speculation and baring his teeth.

said that it was speculation, because as a traverser and reborn person, whether in his previous life or history, it has been proved that Zhou Yafu is worthy of his title as a famous general in the world, and his arrangement and strategy at this time are extremely correct!

Therefore, now, Liu Che stands up to support Zhou Yafu when he needs support the most, and he will definitely be able to win the favor of Zhou Yafu and even the entire military.

Even the emperor's father will praise him for being sensible.

The only trouble may be that Empress Dowager Dou will not be very happy.

But this can be left to Chen Ajiao to solve!

Therefore, this speculation, for Liu Che, is simply a million profits, and it is impossible to buy and sell at a loss.

As for baring teeth......

Two days ago, Liu Fei, the king of Zhongshan, well, that is, the king of Guangchuan in the previous life, just like in the previous life, jumped out and wrote to the Son of Heaven, wishing to be a general, leading troops to crusade against rebellion for his father and the emperor.

Liu Fei's move, whether in his previous life or in this life, is an extremely correct decision.

As soon as this concert arrived in Chang'an, it immediately caused a sensation and won the praise of public opinion, and even Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was also happy and gave the general seal, making him the only prince and king in the Han family who wore the general's seal.

This advantage is nothing at the moment.

Because the princes and kings themselves have their own military power and armies.

However, after Wu Chu was destroyed, the imperial court recovered most of the power of the princes and kings, including the control of the county soldiers.

Liu Fei's general seal immediately became the only out-of-print artifact.

Even the little pig is helpless against it!

At the moment, the impact of Liu Fei's book made Liu Che smell something not very good.

Public opinion is praising the king of Zhongshan for knowing the overall situation and being loyal and filial.

Even the slaves and maids of the Imperial Palace have some discussions.

This made Liu Che furious when he heard it!

Brother, this prince is not dead yet!

When will it be your turn Liu Fei to understand the overall situation?

If Liu Che continues to bury his head in farming, I am afraid that some people will have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

As the crown prince, Liu Che always knew that he had to make sure that no brother could threaten his position and authority.

Any possible provocation and coveting of the crown prince's position must be nip in the bud!

In the battle of the previous prince, Liu Yi, the king of Liang Huai, almost pulled down his emperor's father!

So, those mouthy slaves and maids were ordered by Liu Che to beat the board, and then, Liu Che set up the banner of supporting Zhou Yafu, 'going against the current', and swaggered all the way to Weiyang Palace.

Get off at Sima Gate, and immediately a eunuch will come to guide the way.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is resting in the Greenhouse Hall at this time!" A eunuch said with a flattering smile.

"Oh!" Liu Che nodded: "Lead the way!" ”

In the past month, the most important thing Liu Che has done is to ask the queen to propose to Chen Wu in Tangyi.

Tangyi Hou Chen Wu has also agreed. Just wait for the queen mother's permission and the approval of the Son of Heaven, and the marriage will be completed.

And it is impossible for the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven to refuse this marriage.

Thus......

The three alliances of the crown prince, the queen, and the princess of the pavilion have basically been established.

In such a situation. The eunuchs naturally saw the wind and steered, and began to automatically and consciously show their loyalty to the prince and moved closer.

There were too many people who wanted to take refuge, so Liu Che picked it up, and picked on most of the eunuchs who automatically asked to hug their thighs and become dog slaves.

This has to be said to be a huge irony.

But people always have to be like that.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs. After a short time, Liu Che came to the steps in front of the greenhouse hall.

The greenhouse hall is a building built in the two palaces of the Han Dynasty (Weiyang and Changle).

Originally, it was used to warm the emperor and the empress dowager in winter.

The biggest feature of this palace is the use of pepper to paint the walls, making the overall color of the walls reddish. At the same time, in winter, charcoal stoves burn day and night under the screens and pillars in the temple.

In order to prevent the smell of the charcoal stove from burning to smoke the emperor and the queen mother, so. All the pillars of the entire basilica. All of them are made from cinnamon trees that are more than 50 years old.

In addition, the temple is covered with a feather.

However, since the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the phenomenon of chimes ringing in the greenhouse hall has occurred.

This place is no longer just a place for the emperor to warm up in winter.

On the political zhì, the greenhouse hall has since been flush with the Xuanshu hall, higher than the other palaces of Weiyang Palace, and has become the emperor's visitor. A place to rest and deal with government affairs.

Its status is probably similar to that of the imperial study of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty.

When Liu Che walked into the greenhouse hall, he glanced at the situation in the hall.

Found. There's already a minister here.

That person, Liu Che recognized, was Zhou Yafu's think tank, staff officer, and the master Zhao She.

This Zhao Shi is a new star that has suddenly risen recently.

A month ago, he was still an unknown scholar who studied every day in Bashang.

It is said that he also participated in the examination held by Liu Che last year, and then was brushed down in the third round for various reasons.

For example, the background is not hard enough, the things that come out of the table are not good enough, and he is too old (Zhao Shi is almost forty years old this year, which obviously does not meet Liu Che's young team construction ideas) and so on.

But as the saying goes, it's gold, and it shines everywhere.

Although it was brushed off by the last round of the examination.

But Zhao Shi did not complain, but continued to look for opportunities.

Then, he was recommended to Zhou Yafu as a copywriter.

Initially, it has always been very mediocre.

But more than a month ago, he suddenly rose to prominence, and was recommended to the court by Zhou Yafu one after another, and his position naturally rose, and now he is already a doctor of a thousand stones, and he can meet the emperor and participate in political affairs.

And he was able to climb so fast, Liu Che naturally knew why-the route and direction of Zhou Yafu's army were planned by this person.

It is said that a series of strategic measures such as passing through Lantian and Wuguan Pass, stationed in Changyi, and fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, are said to be inseparable from this person.

It is no exaggeration to say that this person is a natural military strategic staff officer, and he may be sparse in everything else, but in military planning, he has a sense of smell far beyond ordinary people.

Seeing that it was him, Liu Che was also slightly embarrassed.

The original intention of the examination is to be meritocracy, and to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern.

But after doing it, it changed some flavor and mixed into several related households......

This made Liu Che a little embarrassed.

But that's it.

"Son-in-law Liu Che asks his father Huang'an!" Liu Che greeted him in a proper manner.

"The ministers are here to see the family!" Zhao Shi also hurriedly saluted Liu Che.

"Get up...... Give the crown prince a seat! "The emperor's father seems to be in a good mood, and he is also quite kind to Liu Che.

When Liu Che knelt down and sat down, Liu Qi asked, "I heard that the prince came today to avenge Zhou Yafu's grievances?" The corners of his mouth were a little ridiculous.

Liu Qi, of course, has a reason to be happy.

Although the court was hesitant to move forward for Zhou Yafu's soldiers, there was a lot of quarrel.

The pressure on him from the East Palace was also very great, and the old mother urged him almost three times a day, forcing him to issue an edict urging Zhou Yafu to go south.

But......

Zhou Yafu resolutely withstood these pressures.

This Zhao Shi is the courtier sent back by Zhou Yafu to report on the situation of the war on the front line and the reinstatement of the edict.

Well, Zhou Yafu's attitude towards the edict of the Son of Heaven is that he will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected!

directly replied to the edict of the Son of Heaven and the pressure of the Queen Mother, and continued to dig trenches in Changyi and bask in the sun.

If this was something else, Liu Qi would probably be furious and send someone to arrest Zhou Yafu and come back to punish the crime.

This is the only thing that makes him feel that Zhou Yafu's donkey is really good!

Why?

Liu Wuding, the king of Liang, fought Wu Chu to the death in front, and he was the one who benefited in the end!

After this battle, not only can it erase Wu Chu, who is too big to lose, but it can also weaken Liang Guo, who has more headaches than Wu Chu!

Yes, on the surface, although he was unhappy, he issued another edict to urge Zhou Yafu.

In fact, he laughed happily! (To be continued......)

PS: Damn, it seems that I drank too much yesterday, and my head is completely groggy today......
