Su Buwei looked back at Zhuge, whispered not to go anywhere, and waited here for his majesty to come back. Then he looked at the emperor and his heart twitched involuntarily. The emperor seemed to be twenty years old in an instant, and the hair on his temples turned white quietly. As he walked out, his steps were a little messy, and his shoulders were still trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty"
Su Buwei shouted. When the emperor turned back, his eyes were very empty.
"What's up?"
He asked.
But Su Buwei could see that the emperor was completely subconscious. Your Majesty's mind is all on the northwest battlefield, all on the 700000 army that has been lost. It was the backbone of the great Sui army, with 700000 troops, which was enough to plow the country in the north, East and south of the great Sui Dynasty, but in the west, it sounded so easy and simple. That's 700000 lives. You can go out of Gyeonggi road from Chang'an city hand in hand.
Feeling the emperor's sadness and anger, Su Buwei found that his body was trembling.
He took the bronze mirror and walked in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at himself in the bronze mirror and was stunned. He raised his hand and slowly gathered up the white hair hanging from his temples and stuffed it into the crown. His once stable hands kept shaking. But his actions were so serious and meticulous.
Su Buwei felt his heart was breaking. He had never seen such an old emperor. He was a lucky man. Soon after entering the palace, he followed Wu Peisheng around the imperial study. Wu Peisheng was his master. He had the honor to witness the majesty of two emperors.
After Wu Peisheng died, he became a man standing beside the emperor. If the first emperor valued Wu Peisheng's ability to deal with government affairs, it was Wu Peisheng's keen insight. Then your majesty values Su Buwei's loyalty. Although Wu Peisheng is a eunuch holding a pen, he has never stood by the emperor like Su Buwei. It was precisely because the Emperor gave him this trust that he could sympathize with the emperor's sadness.
He put the bronze mirror back and wanted to reach out and help the emperor out. But after stretching out, he stopped in mid air and didn't dare to touch the emperor.
It seemed that he felt his intention, and the emperor shook his head slightly.
"I'm fine... Send someone to inform President Zhou that the day is coming. After the next Dynasty, Zong Lianghu, the Minister of the Ministry of military, Yang Shunhui, the great general of Zuo Yiwei, and Xu Xiaogong, the great general of you Yiwei, please come to Dongnuan Pavilion for discussion."
"Here"
Su Buwei answered and found his voice trembling.
"Your Majesty, will tomorrow's troop dispatch ceremony be delayed?"
He hesitated for a long time, but he still asked.
The emperor was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Now that things in the northwest are irreparable, we should deal with things in the capital first. Now I understand that I think too much of myself and too little of others. I always think that everything is in my eyes, and no one can hide it from me. The big Sui is too big... There are too many people in the big Sui. It is so big that my eyes see it, and so many people see it I can't see it thoroughly. "
"We can't reveal anything about the northwest. At least we have to wait until after the military dispatch ceremony tomorrow. Those disordered officials and thieves have given me a blow in the northwest, so that I know that not everything is tightly held in my hand. In any case, the capital can't slip out of my hand."
He paused and continued: "Also, ask Luo Weiran to come to see me. The people of the northwest love yamen haven't sent back any news to Chang'an City... Hou Wenji obviously betrayed me long ago. I sent him to the northwest to send a good helper to those disorderly officials and thieves. From today on, you take over the affairs of the love Yamen. Let Luo Weiran lead people to check. Don't stay any of Hou Wenji's confidants and don't move now Hands, move before the dispatch ceremony tomorrow. "
"Here"
Su Buwei bowed his head and said, "I'm just afraid that I can't cope with such a big stall in Qingya."
"Take it first. I'll find a suitable person later."
The emperor smiled with bitterness on his face: "I remember talking to you about this topic at the beginning, whether Luo Weiran was more loyal to me or Hou Wen was more loyal... At that time, you said you couldn't see clearly, and I laughed at you. I said that although Luo Weiran was sent by Lao Qi, he came from a reckless background in the Jianghu and had a wild mind. Hou Wenji came from an aristocratic family and was promoted by me. He was more loyal than Luo Weiran. Although I have been doubting him since the past few days, I think he is just greedy for money and has no serious problems... "
"Now think about it, I have been confused all the time. I know that there are a lot of eyes in the big guards, but the inner guard is not as pure as when he was in the country. But I have never doubted their loyalty to me. But now, behind the back of me is a man who I have never doubted.
He was silent for a moment and said, "tomorrow is business as usual, not only business as usual, but also more magnificent... Go and tell Fang Xie that he doesn't want to let the tea recruit those song and dance companies to perform at the expedition ceremony. Then do it bigger and let the people see that Chang'an city is still singing and dancing."
"I'll send someone now."
"Let Fang Xie get away. I just want him to check Lao Liu... Lao Liu is suspicious. He focuses on Fang Xie, and my talent will check more easily. In fact, Fang Xie is just an obvious cover I arranged, but the more it is, the more he will think about it. I never thought Fang Xie would do everything Find out, he is too young... "
"Fang Xie..."
Su Buwei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly knelt down: "I have something to hide from your majesty."
The emperor was stunned and looked at Su Buwei: "even you have something to hide from me?"
"Your Majesty... The maidservant is guilty... Chen Xiaoru sent a message back this morning. He said that Fang Xie planned to fake Wu and escape from Chang'an City in order to force those people to reveal their flaws. Chen Xiaoru said that Fang Xie wanted to make Prince Yi's purpose more clear, so he tried his best."
"Huh?"
The emperor frowned and sighed: "The person I doubt is loyal and not afraid of death. Send someone to watch him. If Fang Xie didn't die today, I'll let him do an important thing tomorrow... It's time. If I can be cruel and gouge out these malignant tumors before I use the army in the northwest, maybe there will be no such thing in the northwest. I thought Lao Liu was going to the northwest, and now I understand ... Li Yuanshan and Lao Liu are not united at all. "

Yiqin Palace
On the building ship
With a slap, Prince Yi, who was copying a famous landscape painting, lost his pen. The pen dipped in ink fell on the drawing paper like an ink chrysanthemum. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Liuqi, who stood in front of him with an ugly face. His eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
"You... You say it again!"
He raised his finger to Qin Liuqi and shouted.
Qin Liuqi's body trembled, lowered his head and said in a sad and angry tone: "Hou Wenji came back from flying pigeons in the northwest, and the 700000 troops of the imperial court were all gone... Li Yuanshan first sent soldiers disguised as Mongolian Yuan cavalry to kill the right leader General Yu Zhengdong's defense line from behind, colluded with Mongolian Yuan cavalry to kill the whole army of the right leader Wei. Then he took men and horses and pretended to be defeated and withdrew to the Chinese army, and suddenly attacked the Chinese army camp of King Xu... 300000 soldiers in Mongolian Yuan With the cooperation of the cavalry, the central army of Prince Xu was defeated. The life and death of Prince Xu, Mou Liangbi and general Jin Shixiong of Zuo Xiaowei are unknown. "
"Then the Mongolian Yuan cavalry divided into three groups to surround peihuan's troops. After a bloody battle for several days, the whole army of the left leader Wei was destroyed and peihuan died. Li Yuanshan colluded with the Mongolian Yuan people. The three governors in the northwest, Yuan Chongwu, Yang shanchen and Wu Peizhi sent County soldiers to block the roads and news. The people did not know that the army had been defeated. The secret letter said Yuan Chong Wu, they are going to play the flag of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, control the three roads in the northwest first, and then march into Chang'an... "
WOW!
Prince Yi swept everything on the table to the ground: "Li Yuanshan! Yuan Chongwu! I really underestimated you! From the beginning... Li Yuanshan had a different heart from the beginning!"
"Lord..."
Qin Liuqi said eagerly: "These are not the most worrying things. Hou Wenji said in his secret letter that Li Yuanshan colluded with the Mongolian people and signed a contract with the Mongolian people. Meng Yuan helped Li Yuanshan send troops to attack Chang'an, but the three roads in the Northwest were ceded to Meng Yuan. And Li Yuanshan even gave the secret that was originally useful to the prince to the Mongolian people. The most shameful thing is... Hou Wenji said that Li Yuanshan gave yuan Chongwu The banner of the Qing monarch was overthrown. Instead, we should use the banner of abolishing the confused monarch and welcoming the king as the emperor. "
"Ah!"
Prince Yi was so frightened that he gave a cry, and his body tilted and almost couldn't stand.
"What a vicious trick!"
"He doesn't dare to strike the anti flag, so he wants to send troops in the name of Gu... Gu now understands that Li Yuanshan's calculation is deep! If Gu goes to the northwest, he will force Gu to enter Chang'an. If Gu doesn't go to the northwest, he will still strike such a flag. People all over the world think that it is Gu who ties up with Meng Yuan, not Li Yuanshan! If the fourth brother kills Gu, he's afraid he will kill him again Raise the white flag and start fighting for revenge! What's the secret of the northwest? How many weapons and armor have been forged by the unexpectedly discovered iron ore in recent years? Now it has become a gift from Li Yuanshan to the Mongolian people! Li Yuanshan, an idiot! Once the Mongolian people have iron ore, what else can the Sui Dynasty compete with the Mongolian people
"Gu always thought that Li Yuanshan was just a clown. Now he realized that this person has such a big mind! Turn home into a country... Ha ha... Even people like Li Yuanshan want to turn home into a country!"
"Lord... We must find a way now."
Qin Liuqi said eagerly, "do you want to delay tomorrow?"
Prince Yi was stunned, then clenched his teeth and said: "Delay? If you delay again, you will die! When Li Yuanshan occupies all the three roads in the northwest, plus the cavalry of the Mongol Yuan people, he will have enough strength to march to Chang'an. There are three guards in the northwest, left and right leading guards and Zuo Xiaowei. It is because Li Yuanshan dare not rebel. Now he plans to cooperate with the Mongol Yuan people to get rid of the three guards at one fell swoop. There are no natural moats in the northwest. There are no natural moats Don't mention that the county soldiers are controlled by Yuan Chongwu and others. Even if there is no control, they can't stop the coalition forces of Meng Yuan and Li Yuanshan... Once the news that he is greeting Li Gu as the emperor reaches Chang'an, do you think the emperor will let Gu go in the face of the Empress Dowager? "
"Then..."
Qin Liuqi hesitated and said, "do as planned tomorrow?"
Prince Yi nodded vigorously: "send someone into the palace and tell the Empress Dowager to be ready. After Gu succeeds tomorrow, the Empress Dowager immediately orders Gu to be the emperor. Block the mouths of those foolish and loyal people with the last edict of our late emperor, and the Empress Dowager's presence should stabilize the situation of Chang'an City as soon as possible. As long as Chang'an is stable, after Gu sits on the throne, she will immediately order the world to fight against thieves!"
"Here!"
Qin Liuqi replied, "I'll do it now."
"Wait!"
Prince Yi was silent for a moment and ordered: "Let those courtiers do today's work and kill all Wu Yijie and Fang Xie. Don't leave any of them. There's no need to test anything. As long as Wu Yijie and Fang Xie die, those courtiers will be at ease to work for Gu. Now Gu is more useful to them than before. After tomorrow, they are the courtiers who take the lead in kneeling down to gu! Let the snake guard go, not because of Wu Yijie There will be no more trouble. "
"Today they are all dead. The emperor must send someone to investigate. It will be good for tomorrow's affairs to disperse the people in the bodyguard's office. The emperor can't cancel sending troops tomorrow because of today's affairs. On the contrary, he will be more upset. There are courtiers standing alone, senior generals standing alone, and the Empress Dowager... And..."
Prince Yi's eyes were cold: "the fourth brother will be surprised by the wonderful tomorrow!"
