Chapter 76

In the twinkling of an eye, a few days have passed, and it is getting closer and closer to the lunar new year. The moon's Eve festival in August and a half is one of the most important festivals for the common people in Daqian. In recent days, even the camel teams of the 36 states in Shahai, the fleets of several island states in the Eastern Han sea, and the caravans of Nanli and Tianxing arrived in the capital one after another, which made the streets of the emperor Qianyuan more heated and noisy. Although it was not the evening of the moon, the whole imperial city was full of festival atmosphere.

However, since the news of Northern Xinjiang came one after another a few days ago, coupled with the emperor's sudden decree, the Changqing army, which had been repaired for half a year, was stationed in the capital's nine gates. Although it is in the name of maintaining the public order of the capital during the lunar night, there are many precedents in previous years, people with clear eyes can still feel a little unusual behind the flowers, as if something big is going to happen.

A few days ago, the Duke of Wei appeared in Northern Xinjiang and mobilized the two armies of Tianhuo and Panshi to destroy the Anhuang stronghold in Northern Xinjiang. The incident has been introduced into Beijing. After 15 years, Wei Guogong, known as the most famous commander in Hongxi Dynasty, once again unified his army, making the world feel the iron and blood power of invincible and invincible again.

Almost overnight, all the secret strongholds of dark Huang in the 18 counties of Northern Xinjiang were pulled out. More than a dozen County Marquis and township Marquis's residences associated with dark Huang were seized, and five or six border county governors and dozens of county officials in important positions were directly captured. However, Lu Chun didn't do much killing. Except for those who fought stubbornly, the rest of the people concerned were escorted to Beijing through the canal under the protection of the Royal Sanwei and handed over to the Ministry of punishment for punishment.

Although the official ship has not yet arrived in the capital, the memorial of Duke Wei has been handed over to the cabinet. Although Duke Wei was granted the Huofeng military amulet by the emperor and had the right to dispatch troops on the occasion, it still caused an uproar in the court. Some people celebrated each other, some were trembling, but no one dared to express any opinion on this matter, Because everyone felt once again that the commander of Qingyang Imperial Army, who had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, had destroyed the power of the commander of Qingyang imperial army. Even those of the aristocratic family who did not want Lu Chun to return to the court, did not dare to face up to him at this time.

Although Lu Chun transported those people to the capital and handed them over to the Ministry of criminal justice for trial, what he listed in his memorials were the great crimes of neglecting jun'en, colluding with the party and intending to rebel. Anyone who dares to join in such a thing will sink himself and the family behind him.

When the imperial capital of Beijing was under the current, Lu que of Fengming Academy was very comfortable, because duanmuye was taken away by his master Lei xuanjian. At this time, he had already left the Academy, and even duanmuye didn't know where to go. Lin Qingyu and Yao Yi'an went back to the ancestral hall of Yao family, but they haven't come back yet. As a result, Fengming ruishe seems very lonely these days. Lu que fights and reads books every day. He goes to the Imperial College to ask for advice if he has any problems and plays chess with Zhuge Yan.

Zhuge Yan had told Lu que what happened when he returned home that day. Lu que realized that it was his seventh aunt who had ordered people to assassinate him. After learning this, Lu que stopped running to Fengxiang army. Because he knows that this is related to the grievances of the previous generation. His parents must have made arrangements for it. Although the cause of the matter is him, it is not suitable for him to join in at this time.

Because even if she is powerful, she is not worth mentioning in front of Da Qian's national strength. With his father's character of not winning but losing, he has already started in Northern Xinjiang, which shows that he has a complete grasp, and the time of Dark Phoenix's destruction is not far away. But the seventh aunt, who had never seen her before, was full of royal blood. Before the attitude of his emperor's uncle and mother was not clear, he didn't do much. After all, it was a matter of the previous generation.

"Lu que, you are so absent-minded today. You have been hanging a cup of tea for this move." Zhuge Yan looked at Lu que strangely. Ever since he learned that Yu Chuxin was the leader of Dark Phoenix, Lu que was often absent-minded and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Oh." Lu que was called back by Zhuge Yan. He put the white piece in his hand on the chessboard and said, "your chess power has increased recently. Now that you are in the middle of the game, I naturally need to think more about it, so as not to be exploited by you."

Zhuge Yan looked at Lu Que's white chess, but the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. The white piece was in a crucial position. If he didn't get rid of the white piece, it would be hard for the dragon to succeed. However, if he wanted to get rid of the white piece from the chessboard, he would need two hands. Lu que changed one piece to his two hands, Zhuge Yan couldn't accept that he wanted to let go of the advantage of being the first black hand, because once he lost his first hand, it would be very difficult for him to move back with Lu's lack of chess power.

Zhuge Yan frowned on the chessboard for a while, then looked at Lu que, who was holding a cup of tea. He tut tut in his mouth. He could not help but scold him secretly. He knew that the reason why Lu que was like this was to disturb his mind and make him make mistakes. However, it also shows that his chess power has really increased during this period of time. When he lost nine sets in ten sets with Lu que a year ago, Lu que didn't use such outside set moves to deal with him.

After staring at the chessboard for a while, Zhuge Yan turned his eyes, looked at Lu Que's fingers, and said, "Lu que, what are you thinking about

Lu que looked at Zhuge Yan for a moment, hesitated a little, and said, "the fact of the rebellion of the king of Dongping was clear, and the leader of Dark Phoenix was one of the schemers of the king of Dongping. Exile in Shahai was a light sentence. Why did he have such a big heart of resentment and even set up a bureau in Northern Xinjiang?"

Lu que knows that Da Qian has his stronghold everywhere because of her secretive style. But his father, who was originally in the south, didn't take charge of her stronghold in the south when he learned that the emperor was going to destroy her. On the contrary, he went north directly. There must be a reason.

In his mind, the eighteen frontier counties in Northern Xinjiang were included in the territory of Daqian only after the northern Xinjiang war. Although after nearly 20 years of immigration development, the foundation of Daqian 108 county is still the weakest. However, the 18 counties in Northern Xinjiang are the garrisons of the two legions of Tianhuo and Panshi. In case of turmoil there, the three countries in Northern Xinjiang outside the three passes of piaoyue, Hanshan and Heishi will surely join forces southward.

The resurgence of the war in Northern Xinjiang must be the result of another war. It will certainly give dark Huang some opportunities to take advantage of. However, if there is another change in Daqian at this time, it will certainly affect the war in Northern Xinjiang. You should know that all the people of the Three Kingdoms on the grassland are soldiers, especially good at riding and shooting. The shibabian County between the blue river and the three passes was originally the territory of the Qingyang Empire at that time. If the three passes are broken, the grassland cavalry will rush south, and there is no place to defend to the north of the blue river. At that time, it's inevitable to lose the city and land. Lu que doesn't understand what good it will do to Yu Chuxin, who is an imperial descendant, and what hatred can make her do such a crazy thing.

Lu que knows that his father Lu Chun went to the border county of Northern Xinjiang this time. He used the firephoenix talisman to mobilize the two armies of Tianhuo and Panshi to quickly destroy the Dark Phoenix stronghold in the border county. He locked up the officials related to Dark Phoenix. He was afraid that something might go wrong in Northern Xinjiang. Because compared with Nanli and Tianxing in the South and the 36 countries in Shahai in the western region, the grassland in Northern Xinjiang is the biggest disaster of Daqian.

After hearing this, Zhuge Yan stopped looking at the chessboard. He took a sip of his tea cup, watched the white clouds in the air, and looked around carefully. Then he said, "it's only a year since you go back to Daqian. Many things may not be clear." Speaking of this, Zhuge Yan hesitated a little and said in a low voice, "this matter should start from your Majesty's accession to the throne."

"Your Majesty ascends the throne?" Lu que was puzzled and looked at Zhuge Yan: "Your Majesty ascended the throne with the imperial edict passed by the former Emperor. There is nothing wrong with winning the kingdom. King Dongping united with the eight Marquis's house to revolt and make trouble. It's for the purpose of disorderly officials and thieves. What can I say?"

"It's true. But in the past history books, because of a throne, fratricidal incidents are almost everywhere. Why did it not happen until your majesty ascended the throne that our country had been established for more than 200 years? "

"Why?" Lu que thought about it and shook his head. Although he is familiar with the history of Daqian, he has never thought about such a thing before.

Zhuge Yan looked around again. Then he lowered his voice and said, "do you know that there is no emperor sleeping in the imperial mausoleum of Daqian except the former Emperor?"

"What?" Lu que was surprised when he heard that Daqian had been founded for more than 240 years and had lived for nine generations. Apart from the present emperor and the emperor Taizu who passed away from gongshenzaohua, the remaining seven emperors were only buried in the imperial mausoleum? How is that possible? Then Lu que thought of his cousin Yu Tianxiang's Qianyuan yushigong, and seemed to understand something.

In the mainland of Qingmu, the life span of Xueqiao is 120 years, Yuqi is 120 years, and Shenhun is 360 years. This refers to the perfection, like Lu Que's "Yuan Tai Da Tong Zhen Jing", which connects the whole body's blood orifices, meridians and secret places. Even if you can't get through all the blood orifices, acupoints and shenzang, you can live one or two hundred years as long as you have reached the cultivation point.

Among the emperors of Daqian, Emperor Wu reigned for 40 years, except Taizu for 48 years. The rest of them were about 20 or 30 years old. Daqian's royal family was handed down from the founding empress. It was originally very gifted in martial arts. There was also the royal family's Treasure Book "Qianyuan yushigong", which was Tianji's skill, or even beyond Tianji's skill.

Therefore, it is said that the emperors of Daqian died after decades of reign. It is said that later generations, even Lu que, did not believe it. But Lu que did not think about it carefully before. Now Zhuge Yan says it, and Lu que understands it.

Seeing Lu Que's suddenly enlightened expression, Zhuge Yan also knew that he wanted to understand it, so he continued, "this matter is not a secret in the royal family and the governments of all the great powers, but it's just that no one publicizes it. You don't know. It's just that Duke Wei and Princess Chang haven't talked to you yet. "

"What does it have to do with your Majesty's accession to the throne?" Lu que asked.

"Because in the past, it was the cultivation of the emperor. When he entered the great calamity, he would pretend to die and pass it on to later generations. After all, it's very difficult to make a catastrophe. If you are nostalgic for the throne, you may fall into the catastrophe. However, Emperor Taizu once made a rule that the abdicated emperor had to secretly supervise the country for three years before he could leave to pursue the way to the people. "

Zhuge Yan's voice was even lower. "After the establishment of the state, only the first emperor really died and was buried in the imperial mausoleum. Therefore, although his majesty had to pass on the throne of the first emperor, he was also the first emperor who did not have the care of the first emperor in secret. At this point, Zhuge Yan added a cup of tea and drank it on his own. He didn't mean to speak any more, because he knew the wisdom of Lu que. Even if he didn't say it later, Lu que could think of it himself.

At this time, Lu kuocai really understood everything behind this incident. No wonder since the founding of Daqian, there has been no tragedy of seizing the throne. It turns out that all the emperors helped the new emperor take over power behind the scenes after abdication, and they would not leave until the foundation of the new emperor was firm.

It turns out that when the former emperor died, he gave his mother great power and ordered her to supervise the country and assist the government, not only because of her age, but also because of her ability. Among them, there are such royal inheritance rules. As Lu can imagine, there must have been other hidden things behind the Dongping rebellion.

You should know that the emperor and his courtiers are one and two sides above the court, and there is a tacit understanding of many things. The reason why the Yu family did not have a fatigued monarch has a lot to do with the inheritance of the royal family. Even if the former Emperor indulged in pleasure, he had nothing to do with the people. Under such circumstances, both xungui and his family were naturally honest, and the status of Yu's royal family was stable.

In this way, the rebellion of the king of Dongping in those years was because there was something wrong with the Royal inheritance, and the former Emperor really died. On the surface, it seems that the eight Marquis's house encouraged the king of Dongping to take advantage of the opportunity of offering sacrifices to heaven, but behind this, it may be some people's exploration of the royal family. But fortunately, the Dongping rebellion was quickly put down, otherwise, once the king of Dongping succeeded in assuming the throne, the present situation of the great Qian Dynasty must not be the same as it is now, and the people behind it may have to become bigger.

Thinking of this, Lu que looked at Zhuge Yan again. The dispute between the emperor and his courtiers was nothing more than a word of power. The eight Marquis's houses, which had been destroyed, belonged to the xungui family. In addition to their Weiguo Lu's house, the other seven had existed in their official mansions since the founding of the country, but they have always been the leaders of xungui. Then, who was behind the events of that year?

When Zhuge Yan saw Lu Que's eyes, he laughed calmly, and then turned his eyes to the chessboard. Naturally, he knew what Lu que was thinking, but he didn't care, because he thought so at the beginning. However, the government of the seven powers was unlikely to participate in that event.

Lu also shook his head and thought about it carefully. He also felt that the government of the seven powers could not be the person behind it. Since the founding of the state, the government of the seven great powers has been granted by Emperor Taizu to rest with the state. It can be said that it shares weal and woe with the royal family of Daqian. It is impossible for the government of the seven great powers to do such a thing. Moreover, the government of the seven great powers has made numerous contributions to Daqian.

Gu and Su are the two most familiar to him, because he grew up with Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi. One is the deputy commander of Fengxiang army, and the other is the military adviser. They both participated in the war with Qingyang in those years, and not only the two of them, now Duke Ding and Duke Wei, also made great achievements in the northern expedition.

As for the rest of the cloud family in Zhenguo, the white family in Huguo, the wisdom family in Ningguo and the Luo family in Anguo, they are also unlikely. Yunshu, who is the first worshipper in the Imperial City, and luocanglan, the first one in Fengming academy, are the most trusted people of the Emperor and his mother. When Huguo Gong was in charge of the logistics of the northern expedition, he never made mistakes. Zhijia's eldest son, that is, zhixingnan's father, died in the battle because of sticking to Shanyang fortress, which can be said to be a minister of loyalty to the country.

Then Lu que thought of Yu Chuxin, the seventh aunt. The reason why she had such a big resentment against her parents, and even sent someone to assassinate herself in revenge, maybe it wasn't just because she was exiled in the sand sea. Maybe there was something hidden behind this. As for why she did it, Lu que can't understand now.

"Well, don't think about it. Although things are complicated, they will come to the surface one day. Now the situation in the imperial capital is changeable, but they are all under the control of your majesty. Maybe as long as the Duke of Wei returns to Beijing, everything will be recovered." Zhuge Yan saw that Lu que was still frowning and thinking about the whole story. He picked up a sunspot and put it on the chessboard and began to comfort him.

At the beginning, he experienced LU Que's attack personally, and he also knew that Lu que had done many things since then, just to bring out the people behind the scenes. Now that he knew that it was dark Huang, his majesty has also decided to destroy dark Huang. There is nothing to be afraid of this kind of enemy that has been put on the surface. The result of the matter is doomed.

To tell you the truth, Zhuge Yan didn't think much of Zhuge Wei's confidant. Although her ability to become the master of Dark Phoenix has already shown her talent and skill, Dark Phoenix's actions are nothing but secret, but there is nothing clever about her layout. Now Dark Phoenix is placed in the sun from the dark place, and she doesn't know how to converge, In Zhuge Yan's eyes, it was just stupid.

"All right." Lu nodded, but he always had a feeling that there was something wrong with the assassination. However, after careful consideration, he could not figure out the result, so he had to give up.

"Young master."

Just as Lu que put his eyes on the chessboard, a slightly old voice came from behind. Lu que looked back and saw that it was Fubo, the housekeeper of Wei government, who was stunned.

"Fauber, why did you come to the school? What happened at home?" Lu que quickly got up and went to Lu Fu.

"Young master, the Duke of the Kingdom has come back. He ordered me to ask him to go back." Fubo looks at Lu Que's clothes. His eyes flash a little nostalgia, but his face shows a smile. He knows that Lu Que's red robe is the chief dress. When he first met Lu Chun, Lu Chun was wearing such a robe.

"What? Is father back Lu que was shocked when he heard that Zhuge Yan was sitting opposite him.
