The third year of Kunyuan.
The chieftain King fan of Zezhou sent Lin Feichong and his troops to attack.
When Lin Feichong first arrived in Zezhou, he immediately recruited civilian soldiers and recruited local Xiang soldiers. He went out to fight many times and made great achievements, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers.
In July, he fought with the chieftains, killed thousands of soldiers and captured countless. He took advantage of the victory to collect the county of plural, and attacked Xinfeng County.
When the news arrived, the imperial court immediately cheered for it.
Jingyang City, Prince's residence.
"Your Highness is very happy. General Lin has another city. He thinks that he will be able to bring down the chaos this year."
A few men flattered.
"Well..."
Wuding was sitting on the throne, holding the war report in his hand, but he fell into a deep meditation: "Lin Feichong's ability is naturally believed, but he is afraid that he will be too aggressive under pressure..."
At this point, he naturally knows that his ability in peacetime is totally different from that in wartime.
Even though Lin Feichong was boasting in his house, it was still unknown whether he could fight or fight when he was released. Fortunately, his actions showed that he was worthy of his trust and investment.
I just hope that he will not be forced to attack because he is under too much pressure, then the overall situation will be OK - if no other forces continue to intervene!
When Wuding thought of this, a layer of haze appeared on his face.
Zhang Hanlin was very capable. After being ordered to investigate, he quickly turned the details of Wu Yue, the Minister of rites, upside down. He felt that he was an official who read a little dead book. There was no abnormality. He even inclined to the crown prince. He was obviously a potential crown prince party.
The more so, the more frightened Wuding was, because all this showed that there was a terrible and good hiding force against him in the dark.
"Hoo..."
Wuding said: "I don't know what kind of murderer he is. How dare he be like this? Are you really not afraid of being annihilated?"
He is very clear about some things in the market.
Because of the restriction of gender, even though they were forced to admit Wu pheasant to his Majesty in front of the gentry, they were unwilling.
In their ideal, the king of the country must have a man, even if it's just a decoration! Otherwise, the man's face will not pass.
Therefore, many forces hope to push Wuding to the top, even boasting of loyalty.
However, such a loyal minister, in his view, is totally helping.
However, this time the emergence of forces, it is obvious that it is not so simple, but really intended to be detrimental to their own!
Wuding walked into the garden and looked at the dark sky. Suddenly, his heart sank and he felt that the wind and rain were coming.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
The sound of walking sounded, with a hasty cry.
Wuding only felt that his chest was dull and he wanted to block up. In a trance, he saw Zhang Hanlin's figure coming quickly: "Taoist preaching, thousands of miles urgent!"
When he came to Wuding, he saluted deeply and spoke fast: "general Lin Feichong ignored the enemy's rash advance. He was ambushed by the chieftain wugudu and was killed on the spot. There was no calculation for the casualties of the army!"
"What?"
Wuding was surprised, holding Yu Ruyi's little shake: "how could it be so?"
Lin Feichong's talent, which he always knew, can't be greedy for work and rash progress. There is definitely a dark hand in it.
However, in any case, it is a fact that it will hurt the military and the imperial court greatly. Even if we can come back alive, the end will not be much better.
"Not only that!"
Zhang Hanlin took a deep breath: "there are still rumors that sages want to change the name of the country to" Kun "! In the future, Yin dominates virtue, and the contemporary biography is located in women, with women facing the dynasty! "
"It's not funny, it's a joke!"
Wuding sniffed, but his face turned white again.
"It's not necessarily without a reason. What's more, the sage is really going to change the name of the country in recent days. This is combined with the rumor, and it's easy for the fool to associate with it. Those who claim to be the crown prince party will also be ready to move!"
"This..."
At this point, even though Wuding, but also a little absent-minded: "do you think, should be how?"
"In my opinion..."
Zhang Hanlin just wanted to talk about a few old strategies for his country, but his heart was shaking. After all, this is the prince! If you go further, you are Renjun!
Who doesn't want the support? And at this time, the prince has the qualification to attack the throne, regardless of his intelligence and strategy, or his partisanship!
But he had a foundation, swallowed saliva, forced these thoughts down, was about to open his mouth, suddenly a bodyguard outside the door rushed to: "there is a will!"
"Preach the Oracle!"
Before the bodyguard could stand still, a group of eunuchs came in. A sharp voice sounded: "the prince doesn't know people, which makes the imperial court lose his troops. He lives to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. That's what I want to do!"
"Son Chen..."
Wuding a spirit, the right hand of Yu Ruyi finally fell to the ground, PA get a split.
Even though he has great talent and great fortune the day after tomorrow, he is still vulnerable to imperial power and hegemony.
The eunuchs around the prince's palace were shaking, and Zhang Hanlin's forehead was in a cold sweat. He felt that the rain was coming and the wind was blowing all over the building.
……
"Is the prince ordered to think behind closed doors?"
In the prime minister's mansion, under a tree as green as jasper, Zeng Yu was playing chess with black and white in her hand. Hearing this, she was immediately stunned.
"Yes, sir, it's spread all over the place. It's said that today's sages intend to change the day. In the future, they will take Kun as their name, and Yin morality will rule the dynasty."
The old housekeeper put out his tongue.
"Nonsense!"
Zeng Yu's originally warm and unchanging face finally had waves: "even if the sage intends to change the name of the country, what does it have to do with the prince? So far fetched! What's more, why did the news of the prince's residence spread so fast? Go down quickly and tell my family that if you chew your tongue again, mind your head! "
When he said this, Zeng Yu's eyes narrowed slightly with murderous spirit.
The old housekeeper was so excited that he knew it was serious. The master wanted to kill people. He immediately turned into a nodding worm: "yes! Master, I will go down now! "
"Alas..."
After the old housekeeper left, Zeng Yu put down her chess pieces and sighed again.
As the most important counselor of Wu pheasant, he knew his master's character very well. He was resolute and decisive. However, he became more and more profound and unpredictable after the death of young master Wu.
The attack on the crown prince was deliberately marked too heavily, but the sage did so. It's really disturbing to let these thieves stir up the wind and rain.
"Is it true that the sage intends to take a long line and catch big fish?"
All of a sudden, Zeng Yu was excited. Looking at the direction of the Imperial City, he felt a deep chill that went straight to the bone marrow.
"If so, I should not participate too much..."
How many prime ministers have been able to make a good start and finish?
At the thought of this, Zeng Yu suddenly had no ambition, and was ready to shut the door immediately and watch the development of the situation.
"With the sage's mind, what's the use of these clowns, no matter how happy they are?"
……
"Good! I didn't expect that the Qingling gate could do so much about Southwest China! "
In the last chamber of secrets, several Taoists gathered together with a happy look on their faces: "now the female emperor has reprimanded the prince and ordered him to think of his faults behind closed doors, which means that the holy family has declined."
"Wrong!"
A Taoist next to him shook his head and expressed his own opinion: "the empress has no choice but to give a clear reward and punishment. This time, the crown prince made a mistake, but it was only a small mistake. If she thought about it behind closed doors, it would be ok if she was punished! On the contrary, it's terror to keep silence all the time! And... It's not without a sense of protection to thank the guests behind closed doors! "
This is also reasonable, people immediately look at each other: "according to Taoist brother's opinion, what should be done?"
"You are all talented people. What's my humble opinion?"
The Taoist said modestly at first, and his face turned dignified again: "what we do to alienate the flesh and blood of the heavenly family is a dangerous thing in the world. If we don't pay attention to it, we will die. Therefore, we must consider everything!"
"First of all, even if we don't know what the empress's mind is, it doesn't prevent us from spreading rumors. The prince is out of favor and even will be abandoned! Be sure to let the crowd roar and stir up resistance. "
"Second, there is another force that must be used. That's the Wu family! "
"Wu family?"
Several Taoists were stunned, if they had realized something.
"That's right. Wu pheasant is a member of the Wu family. He won the world today. What do you think those relatives would have thought? What's more, although the prince's surname is Wu, in fact, he is not a member of the Wu family. Even Wu pheasant himself is the water poured by his married daughter, which makes the whole world's 19 states become the foundation of other people's families. How can the people of the Wu family bear it? "
"It's a wonderful plan! At worst, it can cause civil strife in the imperial court! It's just... Isn't the son-in-law the nameless immortal
A Taoist hesitated and said, "it's hard to say how the immortal would react when we wait to do this."
"Hey, hey... At this point, are there any worries?"
The Taoist who gave advice sneered directly: "besides, we all know that when the empress started her family, she relied on an immortal. Even now, she is still in love with her husband and wife. There are empty chairs on the Jinluan hall, which shows that. It's just that Wu Ming celestial being hasn't been found for many years, and even a few immortal statues can't be found. Maybe he has already broken the boundary or fallen down... Otherwise, with a celestial being in the middle, our relationship with the new dynasty may not be so stiff, to this point! "
When he said this, several Taoists were silent.
Even though they have done so many things, they still have little confidence in whether they can overthrow the Dawu Dynasty.
However, after he Wu pheasant came to power, he had to suppress daomen and other sects.
If the empress is willing to be respectful to daomen, it is just like opening Daoyuan and supporting Daoism to Da Zhou and Yu Qing. Even if there was a big hatred before, it was not beyond discussion.
It's a pity that it's useless to talk about it now.
