"Your Highness!"
Zhou Qingyang didn't expect the seventh prince to stand at the door waiting for himself. He was very frightened and quickly dismounted.
"I guess you'll come. What about the account?"
Zhou Qingyang nodded and followed the seventh prince into the big tent. The seventh prince sat on a high position, indicating that his relatives and soldiers should step down first.
"What do you mean by the letter your highness sent me? May I ask at the end of the day? "
The seventh Prince nodded his head. Naturally, he could ask. As a guard General of Miancheng, he moved his whole body by pulling a hair. Naturally, such a big move could not be taken lightly.
"Yes, I can solve your doubts, but general Zhou, I want to ask you first, do you trust me?"
Zhou Qingyang still believes in the seventh prince. He is not only the natural son of his majesty, but also the guard General of the border. There is no need to deceive himself, but the impact of this matter is too great, so he must be cautious.
"Does your majesty really want to give up Miancheng? There are tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Mianyang City, don't they care? "
The seventh Prince sighed. Zhou Qingyang was a rare pure minister. He never doubted Emperor Wu at this time.
"General Zhou, when I talk to you about this, I hope you forget whose son I am. I am just a general and speak to you in such an identity."
The seventh Prince's words were a little rebellious, but Zhou Qingyang understood and nodded to him.
"Your Majesty's attitude towards human life should be known to you. If he really cared about the tens of thousands of lives in Miancheng, then I would not be guarding the border and fighting with a group of civilians, and the war was so hard."
Zhou Qingyang sighed. He knew that the seventh prince was talking about the killing of refugees by Emperor Wu. When he first heard the news, he didn't believe it. However, his Majesty's deeds made people believe it.
"Although your Majesty's attitude towards refugees is not good, the people in Miancheng are not guilty of any crime. Why are they abandoned?"
The seventh prince took a look at Zhou Qingyang, but he didn't know the temper of Emperor Wu until now. No wonder he stayed in Miancheng for such a long time.
"Because of face!"
"Face!"
Zhou Qingyang can't accept such an answer. He looks at the seventh prince in shock. Can't his life be better than his face?
"How could it be? This is a living life. Isn't face important? "
The seventh prince gave a bitter smile. Yes, anyone who heard such words would not believe it. But he knew that the lives of the common people were not as important as their father's.
"If you stick to Miancheng, can you hold Zheng Chi's army?"
Zhou Qingyang shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't keep it. Zheng Chi's Shucheng was one of the cities with a large population, while Miancheng, which he guarded, was only a small city with a small population, so there were fewer garrisons.
"Naturally, you can't defend it. If Miancheng is against Zheng Chi now, it's impossible to resist."
When the seventh Prince nodded, Zhou Qingyang was very self-conscious, knowing that there were many people in Zheng Chi's army.
"If you can't keep Miancheng, you are doomed to be sacrificed. Then Miancheng will be held by Zheng Chi. At that time, people say that you are incompetent and unable to guard the city."
Zhou Qingyang thought for a second that it was true, but whether he was incompetent or not, Miancheng was absolutely unable to resist Zheng Chi's army.
"But if your majesty orders you to leave Miancheng and hand over Miancheng to Zheng Chi, what will people in the world say?"
Zhou Qingyang only thought about it, and he believed in what the seventh prince said. "They would say that his Majesty was afraid of Zheng Chi and would hand over such a city to each other!"
"Yes The seventh Prince nodded, his father is not worried about this, will give up Miancheng?
"Even if they didn't think of it at the beginning, wouldn't Zheng Chi speak out? A good city was given to him without any guards. Do you think he would say that? The conclusion of the people of the world is very useless and can not affect anyone, but the opinions of the people in the world are very important. An emperor cares about this most! "
Zhou Qingyang's forehead has been gradually sweating. The seventh Prince's words are really shocking, but they are true.
"So, general Zhou, I hope you can listen to my opinion and withdraw all the soldiers and civilians in Miancheng. You should understand which is more important, face or life!"
Zhou Qingyang solemnly nodded his head. After guarding the Mianyang City for such a long time, he naturally paid more attention to the lives of the people in the city.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry for your rudeness. I'm going to leave first."
The seventh Prince nodded, personally sent Zhou Qingyang out, and told him a time, just at ease will big account.
"Send a message to Wen Qihua. Wei Xianzu has come prepared. His news channel has been robbed. Be ready!"
As expected, Zheng Chi arrived in Miancheng. When the mighty army arrived at the foot of Miancheng, it was like a dark cloud, dark and breathless."General, are we going to leave?"
Zhou Qingyang looked back at Miancheng. Most of the people in the city had been quietly transferred to the border or other cities. Now there are only a team of them left.
"Seal the gate of the city. The scarecrow that you prepared should also be ready. The flag must not fall easily. Ten rooms are empty. Do you understand?"
The soldiers nodded. When they moved the people, they told them that nothing useful could be left for each other.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Qingyang finally looked back at Miancheng, which he had been guarding for such a long time. He could have stayed here if Emperor Wu wanted to.
It's a pity that Miancheng is too small to be found on the map if you don't look carefully at it. Such a small place will not appeal to Emperor Wu, and he will not spend his precious troops to support him.
The seventh prince took people to meet Zhou Qingyang at the gate of the border, and settled the people he had brought with him. In the twinkling of an eye, he found that he was looking at the direction of Miancheng with a sad face.
"What is general Zhou thinking?"
Zhou Qingyang was called out by the seventh prince, and pulled back from his thoughts and shook his head.
"I have one thing to ask your highness."
The seventh prince took a look at Zhou Qingyang, understood what he was going to say, and motioned him to talk to the big tent.
As soon as Zhou Qingyang entered the big tent, he knelt down on the ground. No matter how the seventh Prince pulled, he couldn't get up. "General, what is this! Get up
Zhou Qingyang shook his head and brushed away the seven Prince's hand. "Your Highness, I know it's a dead end. Please take good care of this group of brothers for me!"
Zhou Qingyang abandoned the city and left. According to the law, Zhou Qingyang wanted to kill his head immediately, and his cronies were also put into the death row to fight for the front line.
"General Zhou, this matter has not been decided. Why should it be like this now? In case your majesty
Before the seventh Prince's words were finished, he was cut off by Zhou Qingyang.
"Your Highness, your majesty doesn't even want to save the lives of so many people just to save his face. Now I leave the city and give the Miancheng to Zheng Chi. Will he save my life?"
The seventh prince was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and returned with his hands in the air. Zhou Qingyang's words were very right. Emperor Wu would not let him go.
"General Zhou, there is no final conclusion on this matter. Don't think of the worst result. I and Wen Qihua will plead for you in front of your majesty."
Zhou Qingyang grinned bitterly. He was doomed to die. Emperor Wu, who cared so much about his face, could not easily let himself go.
"Please allow me to do so. As long as my brothers are well, Zhou Qingyang will die without regret."
The seventh Prince sighed and finally nodded. In fact, he was not sure about it.
Wen Qihua looked at the seven Prince's letter and felt cold for the first time. He didn't expect Wei Xianzu to be such a person.
"What's the matter?"
Min Sheng has never seen Wen Qihua's expression like this. He has some doubts. This kind of expression makes him feel that something has happened.
"Dark one!"
Dark one side is also the first to see Wen Qihua such expression, young famous he also met a lot of big waves, but always have a plan.
"My Lord."
Wen Qihua tried to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to say it. "Stop all our manpower and shops outside. Don't have any news during this period. All the lines must be cut off for me in one day!"
Min Sheng looks at Wen Qihua in surprise. What does he mean by this sentence? He snatched the letter from Wen Qihua's hand. After reading it, his expression was very delicate.
"How could it be! Wei Xianzu stopped your correspondence
Wen Qihua nodded. This was the first time someone stopped his correspondence. He didn't know whether Wei Xianzu had only intercepted this time or whether the previous interception had not been discovered by his own people.
"I underestimate the enemy too much. Wei Xianzu is very dangerous. I don't know how much he knows about us now, or he has just started to attack."
Min Sheng also suddenly felt cold. Wen Qihua's correspondence has gradually replaced his own intelligence network.
He always felt that the two intelligence networks did not play a very important role, because all the information received came from a few people at the border, so there was no need for sichichi to write two letters.
But now it seems that Wen Qihua has been clearly targeted, and his intelligence network can no longer be used.
"All the dark guards?"
Some people don't believe that their intelligence network was set up by Wen Qihua in his early years. After such a long time, it has been very mature. How could they be intercepted so easily?
"Yes, all the dark guards, although we only know that we have intercepted Zhou Qingyang's line, this line is actually the most unimportant, but if we go on like this, every step of our arrangement will be known by others, so we must clean them all again."Dark a sigh tone, this is the first time, was forced to clean their own forces.
"Go down and do it."
Dark one originally wanted to ask Wen Qihua again. After all, such a sudden clean-up is a very big thing for the internal organization, and it is not good for people's mind to be stable. But Wen Qihua said so, and he could not ask any more questions.
"Wei Xianzu is indeed very dangerous, but dark one's words also make sense. It is really a big thing that all the dark guards are cleaned up."
Wen Qihua waved his hand. If he didn't clean the secret guards and make plans again, their news would only be intercepted again and again.
He is willing to take the risk, even if it is to temporarily suspend the power of the dark guard for a period of time, it is also worth it.
"Wei Xianzu didn't know when to know the hand of the secret guard, but now we can be sure that he already knew the situation of our side very well. It was easy to hide from the open gun and difficult to defend by the concealed arrow. If we are not careful to guard against such a situation, it will not only affect our side. "
If Wei Qizu had never been exposed, how many people did Wei Qizu want to know.
"Master, the dark guard has been cleaned."
Wei Xianzu looked at his subordinates in front of him in surprise and laughed. Unexpectedly, Wen Qihua made such a decision.
"Everyone?"
Wei Xianzu nodded. For a moment, all the news about the dark guard disappeared. It seems that they have been cleaned up.
"Wen Qihua is smart, and it's not in vain. I spent so much time collecting information about him. It's OK. You go down and what to do next. I'll tell you later."
After leaving, Wei Xianzu got up slowly, opened the darkroom of his room and walked in.
Over the years, as long as he knew about Wen Qihua, he would stay in the dark room for a period of time, in order to calm himself down.
He never underestimated Wen Qihua. He knew that he was his biggest enemy. Every decision about him was thought over and over before he was ordered to go on.
Wei Xianzu was alone in the dark room, enjoying the darkness. He had not been here for a long time.
After Wen Qihua became famous, and after Wen Qihua took control of the government, for a long time, he did not touch Wen Qihua again, but just watched his all actions.
He looked at Wen Qihua's style from an onlooker's point of view. Many times, he felt that he might not be able to do so well.
Wei Xianzu gradually opened his eyes in the dark night. His eyes, like snakes, were bright in such a dark place.
He sneered, knowing that his move would win, but because Wen Qihua had never regarded himself as his enemy.
"Wen Qihua, I have been against you for many years, but you look down on me like this, so It's not good! "
Wen Qihua was sick again this time. If he had been sick for such a long time before, Emperor Wu would have been worried. But this time, he seems to have forgotten the existence of Wen Qihua.
Because in the court appeared a more loyal than Wen Qihua, and he is no less than the character.
"Wei Xianzu is in the limelight for a while. When are you going to come out?"
Sun Ruo looked at Wen Qihua anxiously. Their influence in the six departments had not been firm enough to turn to Wei Xianzu. What they wanted to do was more difficult.
"No hurry."
Wen Qihua described the portrait in front of him leisurely, very attentive, as if he didn't take sun ruo's words to heart.
"Not in a hurry? Do you know how many of us are left in the six? If you go on like this, you won't have a chance to get out of the mountain. "
Min Sheng also looks at Wen Qihua with some doubts. Now that the cleaning of the dark guards has been completed, Wen Qihua has changed into a more effective and secretive way. It is reasonable to say that there should be no need to worry about Wei Xianzu.
"Now that the cleaning of the dark guard has been completed, what are you waiting for?"
Wen Qihua finally raised his head to look at Sun Ruo and Min Sheng. Their eyes were full of anxiety, which was too easy to be caught by others.
"Don't worry. He's at the height of the sun. He's in such a high tide. With his Majesty's love, who can compete with him? Even if I'm fighting with him now, do you think I can take the advantage? "
After listening to Wen Qihua's words, Min Sheng and sun Ruo calm down, think carefully, and do not speak again.
"What are you going to do now? Can't you just let him climb higher and higher
Wen Qihua shook his head. Naturally, it was impossible for him to climb higher and higher. Not only did he refuse, but also Emperor Wu would not agree.
"He will not climb higher and higher, because his family background determines his position, and will never be as high as he imagined."
Wen Qihua smiles. Wei Xianzu is really a man of ability. At least he caught himself by surprise. But his family background lies in his stepping stone and also his obstacle."What do you say?"
Sun Ruo looks at Wen Qihua with some doubts. Wei Xianzu's family background is not worse than that of Wen Qihua. Why can't he climb higher and higher?
"Because he came from a military general's family! At this time, military generals are indeed the most important branch in China, because there are wars in China now, but the generals have been feared by his majesty. There were royal families before and Zheng Chi now. Do you think your majesty still tolerates the rise of other generals? "
Min Sheng nodded. According to Emperor Wu's suspicious temperament, it was impossible for Wei Xianzu to rise to a position that could threaten him.
"Do you know why your majesty allowed me to control the government for such a long time, but only cultivated different forces to suppress me, but never really attacked me?"
Sun Ruo took a look at Wen Qihua and said, "because you are too insidious?"
Wen Qihua choked at Sun ruo's words, closed his eyes and sighed. "Well, I admit that's one of the reasons, but it's not the most important. What is really important is that he knows that I have no connection with any military generals and that there are no military generals in my faction. What is the use of a group of civil servants in your Majesty's eyes? "
Min Sheng then understood why when he advised Wen Qihua to have a good relationship with the generals in the imperial court, he just laughed and didn't answer himself.
"Not to mention Wei Xianzu is so smooth now. How can I get out of the way of others? At this time, the best choice is to stay away from the edge. Wei Xianzu can be because I have retired home for so many years. He regards me as an opponent. How can I brush his face? If you don't climb high, how do you lose weight? "
Wen Qihua did analyze the current situation very accurately. Naturally, Wei Xianzu understood this.
Now the Wei family is more and more popular in the imperial court. For a time, there are a lot of guests coming and going.
Wei Xianzu still closed the door to thank guests and made it look like nobody was contaminated. However, Wei Mingqi was not an oil-saving lamp. He was very happy to establish his own relationship with people coming and going.
"The decline of Wen Qihua is a good time for the rise of Wei family, but you don't care about anything. Don't you call me Wei family's pressure?"
Wei Xianzu took a look at Wei Mingqi, who was a little angry. He called several generals to the mansion today. He wanted to let him go out to meet the guests. Unexpectedly, he refused.
"Father, it's just a mob. Why do you care so much?"
Wei Mingqi slapped the table hard. He didn't know what was wrong with Wei Xianzu. After waiting for so many years, he finally got to his present position, but he seemed to care nothing.
"You are in a daze! Those people are important ministers in the dynasty, but you think they are mobs! You're crazy
Wei Xianzu sneered. Wei Mingqi had been waiting for too long and had no patience for a long time. Now a little sweetness makes him dizzy and forgets his identity.
"Father, if you don't want to hear a word from my son, now our Wei family is famous for a time. But don't forget that this world is the kingdom of your majesty after all. If we walk on foot, we will have to wait for an imperial edict!"
Wei Mingqi saw Wei Xianzu and knew the meaning of his words. But after waiting for such a long time, should he be careful at this time?
"Xianzu, what are you thinking? You have been dormant for so many years for this moment
Wei Xianzu shook his head. He didn't want this position at all. If he just wanted to get his present position, he didn't have to wait. As long as he was careful, how could he not get such a position?
"Father, you are wrong, the child is not for the present position, what am I now? A small military control is not as high as your Duke of Wei. If I want a position above ten thousand people under one person, I just have to wait to inherit your position? "
This is to say, wait for Wei Mingqi to die and inherit his position. This is undoubtedly in the curse of his father, how can Wei Mingqi tolerate such words?
"Rebellious son!" Wei Mingqi severely patted the table. Although Wei Xianzu's words were true, they did sound frightening.
"You dare to curse your own father
Wei Xianzu laughed. If he said this and cursed him to death, wouldn't he have died on the battlefield many years ago?
"Why should father be angry? Children are just joking. Now there are still guests in the backyard. You should show your hospitality. Don't neglect them. What's the point of talking to children here? "
Wei Mingqi knew that he couldn't persuade Wei Xianzu. He was angry again. Naturally, he didn't want to say anything more. He turned around and left. At the door, he met Mrs. Wei who had come to deliver Wei Xianzu soup.
"Master
Before Mrs. Wei spoke, she saw that Wei Mingqi's face was very bad. She was thinking of leaving quietly. Who knows Wei Mingqi would not let her go.
"Bitch!"
Wei Mingqi slapped Mrs. Wei fiercely in the face. After many years of military generals, Wei Mingqi still had strength. He slapped Mrs. Wei to the ground, and the cup in his hand was jingling to the ground.www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
