Hello Chang'an Chapter 608

Chapter 608 Minluo's Secret Letter

 A soldier rode back to camp and quickly came to King Rong's tent, bringing back the latest news of victory.

The counselors in the tent were all excited, and one said: "It seems that our army will arrive in the capital in just one month at the latest!"

"By then, this thief Bian will probably not be able to hold the throne for more than a year!"

"The prince is expected to take back the capital before this winter!"

"I'm here to congratulate you in advance..."

Everyone congratulated him, but Luo Guanlin, who was sitting cross-legged, did not speak.

This battle was smoother than everyone imagined, and this smoothness also caused more and more forces to start leaning towards Prince Rong Li Yin. In the eyes of the advisers of Prince Rong's Mansion, this was simply because: success or failure depends on people's hearts. distinguish.

They were about to approach the capital before they saw it, but Li Suining chose to put himself to death—

The prince's great cause is going smoothly, but the powerful opponent is making all kinds of mistakes... This is luck and destiny!

A counselor mentioned Li Suining and sneered: "...This woman used the auspicious event in Taiyuan to promote the theory of destiny, but how could destiny be in a woman! As expected, what if she was allowed to steal the throne of the prince? A woman with short sight Benevolent man, what can you do to guard the stolen things?"

"After hearing the decree issued by Taiyuan, many people are unwilling to obey it... Who is willing to respect a young woman whose life or death is uncertain and who ignores the overall situation as the master?"

"Then Chang Sui would rather not think about it before doing anything. Even if he uses this move to protect the country's benevolent name, but in the current situation, who can not think about the future? Going to the north to gain a good reputation is really naive and foolish!"

She is young and frivolous, and she may not understand what the primary responsibility of a monarch is... not ability and means, let alone the name of benevolence and righteousness, but living.

Living is the foundation of everything. For a person who can't even guarantee her own life and safety, and who has actively deviated from the center of the fight for power, what can she do to win people's hearts? How many people can safely bet their wealth and future on such an irresponsible young girl who is full of variables?

Young and successful people are certainly eye-catching, but those who can win reliably are the best choices.

After all, Chang Sui Ning is too immature and doesn't know what the real importance is. If he goes to the north, he will destroy his future.

However, there have been many precedents like this in ancient times. It is clear that a person has a good situation, but he can ruin it with a decision made overnight. This kind of failure in decision-making is often regarded as a failure of his own knowledge to bear his anger. Luck is destined to be returned in another way. And once you lose this luck, you will soon be knocked back to your original shape and completely defeated.

Now Chang Sui Ning already has the appearance of losing his luck!

Listening to these discussions, Li Yin did not show contempt or pride on his face. Instead, he said: "In any case, her going here is indeed a benevolent and righteous act for the country and the people. Regardless of success or failure, I will do my best for the people of Dasheng." Remember her kindness."

His words revealed that if Li Suining were defeated in his hands in the future, he would take the opponent's actions into consideration and give him a lighter punishment.

A counselor sighed: "Your Majesty is very virtuous."

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong." Luo Guanlin, who had never spoken before, said solemnly: "In my opinion, this woman doesn't understand benevolence and righteousness at all. Based on her past style, it can be seen that she is just a person who only knows how to kill. She is just a belligerent and arrogant person. She thinks she is invincible, so she acts arrogantly and wants to show off her power in the north—"

"Such a woman has long been blinded by her murderous ambition. Even if she has some achievements, it is not enough to offset her heinous crime of stealing the throne of the crown prince!"

"Besides, this girl is most likely a ploy in the hands of Empress Ming... Empress Ming helps her pretend to be the princess to deceive the world, and is eager to support her to become the prince. How can there be no calculation in this?"

At the end of his words, Luo Guan looked at King Rong, raised his hand and said: "The world knows your benevolence, but this benevolence is definitely not suitable for such a scourge, and should be eradicated!"

Hearing these fierce words, some among the counselors echoed, while others only smiled.

This "resurrected" Mr. Luo is particularly disgusted with women stealing power. A few years ago, he wrote an appeal against the Ming Dynasty, which aroused public outcry. In that appeal, dissatisfaction with women in power could be seen everywhere. This was called a reversal of yin and yang and a perverse act of disaster for the world. Xiang, blaming all the chaos on the Demon Queen.

After getting along with each other for these days, they even suspected that the reason why this dear friend came out of the mountain again was because he couldn't stand and couldn't tolerate women being rampant in the world.

This person was able to help the Ming Dynasty to remove the deposed emperor from the throne, and later helped Xu Zhengye to start a rebellion. He used a pen in his hand to incite support from all parties for Xu Zhengye. He is undoubtedly very talented -

During these days, this man had repeatedly proposed clever strategies to the prince, and his intelligence was undeniable. However, when it came to the matter between Ming Hou and Li Suining, he only had subjective hatred, and when it came to righteous indignation, he even occasionally made extreme remarks.

But this is not a bad thing for their Prince Rong Mansion. The world needs strong voices against women in power right now, the more the better.

Faced with Luo Guanlin's admonition to eradicate the problem, King Rong nodded lightly and said sincerely: "Sir, you always think about me, and I will always obey you. I am really lucky to have you help me."

Luo Guanlin stood up after hearing the words and gave a long salute: "Ever since the Demon Queen came to power, there has been no peace in Dasheng. The Demon Queen has brought trouble to the court and persecuted the royal family, causing the Li family's descendants to wither and decline... Fortunately, the prince kept a low profile and stationed in the west, so that Dasheng There is still a glimmer of hope. It is Luo's great fortune to be able to follow the prince and support Li's orthodoxy."

With such words, it is not difficult to hear the speaker's obsession with supporting the Li family's orthodoxy - Li Yin had no doubt about this. When Xu Zhengye started the uprising, there were many spies planted by Li Yin in the army, so Li Yin knew very well that Luo Guanlin had The process of separating from Xu Zhengye: it was precisely because the former saw the latter's ambition to be independent, while the former just wanted to restore the Li family's imperial power. To be precise, it was the patrilineal imperial power of the Li family that still respected men.

Li Yin looked moved and asked Luo Guanlin, who stood up to salute, to sit down again.

After discussing the next war deployment, several counselors and generals took orders and retreated to carry out the matters.

Not long after, a soldier from the Central Guizhou Road came into the tent to deliver a message, saying that the Jiedu envoy of the Central Guizhou Road was about to have a happy event and would be engaged to the girl of the Changsun family in seven days.

A military advisor sitting closest to Li Yin was surprised, smiled and stroked his beard: "The Changsun family finally agreed!"

With that said, he congratulated Li Yin: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a happy event!"

Prince Rong's palace has been wooing the eldest grandson's family for a long time, but the other party's attitude has always been unclear. The Qianzhong Road Jiedu envoy's proposal to marry was really the last test.

This marriage proposal has been going on for several months. At first, the eldest son's family refused to agree... Now, probably seeing that the army of Prince Rong's palace was moving towards the capital very smoothly, the eldest son's family finally made a decision.

She Kui, the envoy of the Qianzhong Road, had already surrendered to Prince Rong's palace. The eldest son's family agreed to the marriage, and their attitude was self-evident.

Although the Changsun family is no longer what it used to be after being slaughtered by Emperor Shengsheng, the Changsun family was responsible for the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty. There were several queens in the family. In the past, the two Dasheng kings were half of the Changsun family. This surname is similar to that of Li The royal family has been inseparable for a long time. If you can get the support of the eldest grandson family, you will be able to ascend the throne more legitimately in the future.

Li Yin was naturally happy to see this marriage, so he immediately had people prepare generous gifts and send them back to Qianzhong Road.

After the matter was explained, only Luo Guanlin and two other counselors were left in the tent. Not long after, another soldier entered the tent to deliver a message, but they brought news about the replacement of the throne of a foreign country.

Murong Yun, the leader of Tuyuhun, died.

Murong Yun was in his early thirties and in his prime. The news of his death was sudden. It is said that he died of a sudden illness after being poisoned by snake venom while hunting in the mountains.

The prince who succeeded was not Murong Yun's eldest son, but his youngest son, Murong Shouping.

The soldier recounted the news in more detail: "...the new king is only three years old, and his mother is our princess Gu'an."

Li Yin understood the difference and said in a tone of mixed praise: "She is indeed a princess raised by the Ming Dynasty." Supporting such a young son to become the new king of Tuyuhun will inevitably attract opposition from the Tuyuhun royal family and officials. From these objections, he can Fighting out shows that she already has her own basic power in Tuyuhun.

Therefore, how Murong Yun died is also worthy of consideration.

At this point, the soldier presented a letter: "This is the certificate of credence presented by Tuyuhun to report to Dasheng the appointment of a new king."

"Did they actually send this seal of credence to Jiannan Road?" Li Yin asked with interest as he raised his hand to take it.

"Yes, according to Tuyuhun's envoy, this is what Princess Gu'an meant."

Li Yin's interest intensified. The place where the credential reached was the political center of the dynasty. Princess Mingluo of Gu'an was not sent to Taiyuan or Luoyang, but to Jiannan Road -

Tuyuhun's land area is not as large as that of several states in Dasheng, but as a buffer state between Dasheng and Tubo, it has unusual strategic significance.

A few years ago, before Dasheng ordered Princess Gu'an to marry and marry Tuyuhun, Tubo had the intention of violating the territory - it was Li Yin who reported the matter to Beijing. Tubo is connected to Longyou Road in Dasheng to the north and Jiannan to the east. Dao, Prince Rong's Mansion has always been responsible for the defense of Tubo, so Li Yin naturally had many dealings with Tuyuhun.

But this is the first time I have had such an "interaction"...

This letter of credence for Tuyuhun to establish a new king also contains a secret letter.

This secret letter came from Princess Mingluo of Gu'an. She stated in the letter that she wanted to make a deal with Prince Rong's Mansion, and she had a secret matter in her hands related to the former Prince Xiao. I believe His Royal Highness Prince Rong would be very interested.

Li Yin found it a little funny.

A princess surnamed Ming, who was guarding the tiny land of Tuyuhun, dared to come to him and make a deal with her in a pretentious manner.

But he has always admired ambitious people.

However, whether this deal can be made depends on how many chips she has in her hand and whether he needs it or not.

After Luo Guanlin and others retreated, Li Yin wrote a reply and asked someone to send it to Tuyuhun.

After the letter was sent, Li Yin's eyes fell back on Mingluo's letter again, and he accurately captured the four words "the first prince is effective".

In fact, he didn't like this feeling. A person who had been dead for many years was still mentioned all the time... The prince who was so remembered showed how outstanding he was.

Soon, a sigh appeared in the corner of Li Yin's eyes. Such an outstanding person could not escape from the desert in the end.

A place where Ashang couldn't come back safely... Li Suining, can she do it?

Li Yin raised his head and looked north through the gap in the curtain.

If Li Suining stayed in the north forever like A Shang, as Uncle Wang, he would definitely not be stingy in giving her praise, respect and dignity - people who died in time are always worthy of respect to him.

If he came back alive, that would be another matter.

Li Yin lit Mingluo's secret letter with a candle and threw it into the copper basin. The fire danced and engulfed every word on the letter.

At the same moment, Li Cong's eyes scanned every word on the letter in his hand, with anxious anger in his eyes.

He was ordered by his father to disintegrate Xiao Min's army on Lingnan Road. However, he had been here for two months and suffered repeated setbacks.

Half of the army of Prince Rong's Mansion was taken away by his father, and the other half guarded the western border. So he called on the soldiers and horses from the Central Guizhou Road, as well as some forces from Lingnan Road that had surrendered to Prince Rong's Mansion—

The dispatch of troops and horses went smoothly, but the problem lay elsewhere. After each battle, it was difficult for Li Cong not to admit his shortcomings in leading troops in combat - over the years, he had been responsible for many assassinations, almost never He has never failed, but because most of his errands are carried out in secret, he lacks experience in leading troops in such large-scale operations.

His father was probably aware of his shortcomings, and once told him that he must listen to the experience and opinions of She Kui, the governor of Qianzhong Dao.

But She Kui has been busy with getting married to the eldest son's family recently and rarely sets foot in the military camp.

She Kui was not in the army, and those generals had privately discussed his identity as an illegitimate son, and snickered that his father would not recognize him. Although they did not dare to say these things to his face, those people treated him openly. There are also many people who look down upon him, and they often question the military orders he issued...

He sent a letter this time urging She Kui to come to discuss the war, but the other party replied that the wedding was only two months away, and there were a lot of things to prepare, and he couldn't get away at the moment. He could make all the decisions about the war, and invited him to return to Guizhou then. Have a glass of wedding wine.

This attitude made Li Cong very angry, but did he have to write a letter to his father to complain? That would only make Father feel that he is incompetent!

He originally thought that Xiao Min would not be able to hold on in Lingnan for long, but unexpectedly, the several states that the other party occupied were now all dedicated to Xiao Min, which actually solved the problem of food and grass supply for Xiao Min's army in Lingnan.

She Kui once said to Li Cong that there is no need to worry too much about the war with Xiao Min. Everything is going well for the prince. When the time comes to take control of the capital, Xiao Min's army will naturally be disorganized and the decision will be made with a message... In his words, he is teaching Li Cong, a young man, to know how to look at everything. The overall situation is to stay calm.

But Li Cong couldn't listen at all. This was She Kui's position, not his... If the trouble here can be solved only after his father successfully takes back the capital, then what is his use? What will happen to him when there is nothing left to say?

Li Cong was unwilling to give in and summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

But the attitudes of those generals and She Kui were similar - they were not ignorant of priorities. On the contrary, as veterans in the army, they knew how to weigh the pros and cons of a war.

Through this period of fighting, we can see that Xiao Min is not an easy character to deal with. He is a difficult bone to chew. Instead of chewing it at the wrong time and breaking his own teeth, it is better to wait until the overall situation is decided. , and then pick this bone back up at the minimum cost?

Before that, they only had to keep an eye on Xiao Min's army and prevent them from causing trouble.

Their attitude is very clear. The war must be fought, but a **** and desperate fight is unnecessary.

This is also what She Kui means. He is currently concentrating on preparing for the marriage with the eldest grandson's family -

This marriage made She Kui very happy. He was nearly forty years old, his wife died a few years ago, and the girl from the eldest grandson family he was about to marry was only 18 years old. The eldest grandson family that had several queens in the past was now... What an honor it is to marry the daughter of the family to his wife, She Kui!

With this marriage as the foundation, if King Rong ascends the throne in the future, no one will be able to shake his status.

Therefore, nothing can go wrong with this hard-earned marriage. For him, this is a hundred times more important event than fighting Xiao Min's army!

This girl from the eldest grandson's family who is about to get married is called eldest grandson Fu, and she is eldest grandson Ji's cousin.

At this moment, in Qianzhou City, Changsun Fu was listening to the instructions of her elders. Every girl must listen to the instructions before getting married, but the "teachings" she heard were very different from those of ordinary girls.
