"Your Highness!"
Zhou Qingyang didn't expect that the seventh prince was waiting for him at the door. He was very frightened and quickly dismounted.
"I guess you'll come. How about an account?"
Zhou Qingyang nodded and followed the seven princes into the big tent. The seven princes sat on the high position and signaled that their own soldiers would retreat first.
"What is the meaning of the letter your highness sent me? May I ask you? "
The seventh Prince nodded. Naturally, he could ask. As the guard General of Miancheng, he moved his whole body with one hair. Such a big move, naturally, can't be rash.
"Yes, I can also solve your doubts, but general Zhou, I want to ask first, do you trust me?"
Zhou Qingyang still believes in the seventh prince. He is not only his Majesty's own son, but also the guard General of the border. There is no need to deceive himself, but the influence of this matter is too great, so he must be cautious.
"Do you really want to give up, your majesty? There are tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Miancheng. Don't you care? "
The seventh Prince sighed, and Zhou Qingyang was also a rare pure minister. At that time, he never doubted Emperor Wu.
"General Zhou, when I say this to you, I hope you forget whose son I am. I'm just a general. I'm talking to you in this capacity."
The seventh Prince's words were a bit rebellious, but Zhou Qingyang understood them, nodded and motioned to him.
"Your Majesty, you should know the attitude towards human life. If he really cared about tens of thousands of lives in Miancheng, then I would not be at the border now, fighting with a group of civilians, and fighting so hard."
Zhou Qingyang sighed and 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. But what his majesty did made people believe it.
"Your Majesty's attitude towards refugees is not good, but the people in Miancheng have no guilt. Why are they given up?"
The seventh prince took a look at Zhou Qingyang. He didn't expect that he still didn't understand the temper of Emperor Wu. No wonder he would stay in Miancheng for so long.
"Because of face!"
"Face!"
Zhou Qingyang can't accept such an answer. He looks at the seventh prince in shock. Can't so many lives compare with face?
"How can it be? This is a real life. Is it not as important as face? "
The seventh prince gave a wry smile. Yes, if anyone heard such words, he would not believe it. But he knew that the lives of these common people were not as important as his father's face.
"If you stick to Miancheng, can you hold Zheng Chi's army?"
Zhou Qingyang shakes his head. Naturally, he can't keep it. Shucheng guarded by Zheng Chi is one of the cities with a large population, while Miancheng guarded by himself is just a small city with a small population, so there are fewer troops.
"Naturally, we can't keep it. If Miancheng is against Zheng Chi now, I'm afraid it's a fight against the stone. It's impossible to resist."
The seventh Prince nodded. Zhou Qingyang was very self-conscious and knew that there were many people in Zheng Chi's army.
"If you can't guard Miancheng, then you are doomed to be sacrificed. Then Miancheng will be held by Zheng Chi. At that time, at most, people said that you are incompetent and can't guard the city."
Zhou Qingyang thought about it, but he could not resist Zheng Chi's army no matter whether he was incompetent or not.
"But if your majesty orders you to leave Miancheng and give it to Zheng Chi, what will people say?"
As soon as Zhou Qingyang thought about it, he believed what the seventh prince said, "they will say that your majesty is afraid of Zheng Chi and will give away such a city!"
"Yes The seventh Prince nodded. His father was worried that he would give up Miancheng?
"Even if they didn't think of it at the beginning, wouldn't Zheng Chi say anything? Don't you think he will give it to him without a good guard? The conclusion of the world is useless and does not affect anyone, but the opinion of the world is very important. This is what an emperor cares about most! "
Zhou Qingyang's forehead has gradually sweat. The seventh Prince's words are really shocking, but they are really true.
"So, general Zhou, I hope you can listen to my opinion and withdraw the army and people from Miancheng. You should understand which is more important, face or life!"
Zhou Qingyang nodded solemnly. After guarding Miancheng for such a long time, he naturally paid more attention to the life of the people in the city.
"Your Highness, I'll leave you first, with respect to your rudeness."
The seventh Prince nodded, personally sent Zhou Qingyang out, and told him a bit, just relieved to meet the big account.
"Wen Qihua is ready to be robbed."
Sure enough, Zheng Chi arrived in Miancheng. When the mighty army arrived at the foot of Miancheng, it was like a dark cloud, black and oppressive, and the people who looked at it couldn't breathe."General, are we going to leave?"
Zhou Qingyang looked back at Miancheng, most of the people in the city have been quietly transferred to the border or other cities, now the rest is only a team of them.
"Seal up the gate, and prepare the Scarecrows for you. The flag must not fall down easily. Do you understand?"
The soldiers nodded. When they were transferring the people, they told them not to leave anything useful to 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 held it here. If Emperor Wu wanted to, he would send troops to support it.
It's a pity that Miancheng is too small. If you don't look carefully on the map, you can't find it. Such a small place won't attract Emperor Wu, and he won't consume his precious troops to support him.
The seventh Prince takes people to meet Zhou Qingyang at the gate of the border, and settles the people he brings with Haosheng. In the twinkling of an eye, he finds that he looks at the direction of Miancheng with a sad face.
"What is general Zhou thinking?"
Zhou Qingyang was so called by the seventh prince, and he came 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 and understood what he was going to say. He motioned him to talk to Da Zhang.
As soon as Zhou Qingyang came into the tent, he fell on his knees. No matter how the seventh Prince pulled it, he couldn't get up. "General, what are you doing! Get up
Zhou Qingyang shook his head and whisked the seventh Prince's hand away. "Your Highness, I know I'm dead. Please take good care of my brothers!"
Zhou Qingyang abandoned the city and left. According to the law, he wanted to kill his head immediately, and his confidants would be sent to the death row camp to fight as a front-line team.
"General Zhou, this matter has not been decided yet. 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 hand over Miancheng to Zheng Chi. Will he save my life?"
Seven princes hear this words Leng for a while, put oneself in the hand of mid air came back, Zhou Qingyang's words is very right, Emperor Wu really won't 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 gave a bitter smile. He was doomed to die. How could Emperor Wu, who cared so much about his face, let him go easily.
"Your Highness, please grant me this request. 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 seventh Prince's letter. For the first time, he felt cold in his heart. He did not expect that Wei Xianzu was such a person.
"What's the matter?"
Min Sheng had never seen Wen Qihua's expression like this. He was puzzled. His expression made him feel that something big had happened.
"Dark one!"
Dark one in the side is also the first to see Wen Qihua such expression, young and famous he also met a lot of big waves, but has always been confident.
"My Lord."
Wen Qihua tried to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to say it. "Take care of all our manpower and shops outside. Don't have any news exchange 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 this sentence mean? He snatched the letter from Wen Qihua. After reading it, his expression was very delicate.
"It's like this! Wei Xianzu intercepted your correspondence
Wen Qihua nodded. It was the first time that someone stopped his correspondence. He didn't know whether Wei Xianzu only stopped this time or whether his previous interception was not discovered by his own people.
"I despise the enemy too much. Wei Xianzu is very dangerous. I don't know how much he knows about us now, or he just starts to do it now."
Min Sheng also suddenly felt cold, Wen Qihua's correspondence now has gradually replaced his own intelligence network.
He always felt that the two intelligence networks really didn't play a big role, because the information received came from several people at the border, so there was no need to ask Si Chi Chi to write two letters.
But now it seems that Wen Qihua has been targeted by others, and his intelligence network can no longer be used.
"All the dark guards?"
I don't believe that their intelligence network was established by Wen Qihua in his early years. After such a long time, it has become very mature. How could it be intercepted so easily?
"Yes, all the dark guards, although at present we only know that we have intercepted Zhou Qingyang's line, this line is actually the most unimportant, but if it goes on like this, every step of our arrangement will be known by others, so we must clean it all again."Dark a sigh tone, this is the first time, be forced by others to own influence all clean.
"You 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 stable for the people. But Wen Qihua said so, and he could not ask more.
"Wei Xianzu is really very dangerous, but it's reasonable for him to clean all the secret guards. It's really a big thing."
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 this risk, even if it is to temporarily suspend the dark guard's power for a period of time, it is worth it.
"Wei Xianzu didn't know when he was going to attack the secret guards, but now he can be sure that he has a good understanding of our situation. It's always easy to hide a gun, but it's hard to defend a hidden arrow. If we are not careful to guard against such a situation, it will not only affect us at that time. "
Min Sheng thought about it. If Wei Xianzu had always been against Wen Qihua but never revealed it, no one really knew how much information he had received.
"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, they had no news about the dark Wei. It seems that they should have been cleaned up.
"Wen Qihua is smart, and it's not in vain that I spent so much time to collect information about him. It's OK. You go down. What should you do next? I'll tell you later."
After people left, Wei Xianzu stood up slowly, opened the darkroom of his room and went in.
For so many years, whenever he knew the news about Wen Qihua, he would stay in the dark room for a period of time in order to let himself down.
He never underestimated Wen Qihua and knew that he was his biggest enemy. Every decision about him was made after thinking about it again and again.
Wei Xianzu is alone in the dark room, enjoying the darkness. He hasn't been there for a long time.
After Wen Qihua became famous and took control of the government, for a long time, he did not fight against Wen Qihua any more. He just watched all his actions coldly.
From the perspective of an onlooker, he looks at Wen Qihua's handling style over the years. Many times, he feels that he may not be able to do so well.
Wei Xianzu gradually opened his eyes in the dark. His eyes, which were as evil as snakes, were bright in such a dark place.
He sneered, knowing that his move would win, but it was because Wen Qihua did not regard himself as his enemy.
"Wen Qihua, I've been fighting against you for many years, but you look down on me like this That'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 there is a more loyal and equal character in the court hall than Wen Qihua.
"Wei Xianzu is in the limelight now. When are you going to go out?"
Sun Ruo anxiously looks at Wen Qihua. Their influence in the six departments has already taken refuge with Wei Xianzu. What they want to do is more difficult now.
"No hurry."
Wen Qihua leisurely described the portrait in front of him, very attentive, as if he didn't pay attention to sun ruo's words.
"Not yet? Do you know how many of us are left by now? If you go on like this, you will have no chance to get out of the mountain. "
Min Sheng also looks at Wen Qihua with some doubts. Now that the cleaning of the dark guard has been completed, Wen Qihua has changed a more effective and secret way. It is reasonable that he should not worry about Wei Xianzu.
"Now that the cleaning of the dark guard has been completed, what are you waiting for?"
Wen Qihua finally looks up at Sun Ruo and Min Sheng. Their eyes are full of anxiety. It's too easy to be caught.
"Don't worry. He's in the middle of the day. With the popularity and the love of his majesty, who can compete with him? Even if I fight with him now, do you think I can have an advantage? "
After listening to Wen Qihua's words, Min Sheng and sun Ruo both calm down and think carefully, but they don't speak any more.
"What are you going to do now? Can't you let him climb higher and higher all the time? "
Wen Qihua shook his head. Naturally, it was impossible for him to climb higher and higher. Not only did he refuse, but Emperor Wu would not agree.
"He won't climb higher and higher, because his family background determines his position. He will never be as high as he imagined."
Wen Qihua smiles. Wei Xianzu is really a man of ability. At least he was caught off guard. But his family background is his stepping stone and also his roadblock."What do you say?"
Sun Ruo looks at Wen Qihua with some doubts. Wei Xianzu's family background is no worse than that of Wen Qihua. Why doesn't he climb higher and higher?
"Because he came from a military family! Generals are indeed the most important one in China at this time, because there are wars in China now, but generals have been feared by your majesty. There was a royal family before, and now there is Zheng Chi. Do you think your majesty will tolerate the rise of other generals? "
Min Sheng nodded. According to Emperor Wu's suspicious nature, it was really 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 laid hands on me?"
Sun Ruo took a look at Wen Qihua and said with embarrassment, "because you are too insidious?"
Wen Qihua choked on 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's really important is that he knows that I have no connection with any generals, and there are no generals in my faction who can be cultivated. What's the use of a group of courtiers 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 court, he just laughed and didn't answer himself.
"Not to mention Wei Xianzu is now so smooth, how can I get out of the way of others? At this time, it is the best choice to avoid the edge. Wei Xianzu can live at home for so many years because of me. He regards me as his opponent. How can I wipe his face? If you don't climb up, how can you fall down? "
Wen Qihua did make a very accurate analysis of the current situation. Wei Xianzu naturally understood such a thing.
Now the Wei family is gaining more and more power in the court. For a time, there are a lot of guests coming and going.
Wei Xianzu still closed the door to thank the guests, making no one contaminated with the appearance, but Wei Mingqi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is 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 our Wei family, but you don't care about anything. Don't you tell people that our Wei family is very powerful?"
Wei Xianzu took a look at Wei Mingqi, who was a little angry. Today, he called several generals to the mansion to let him go out to meet the guests. Unexpectedly, he refused.
"Father, he's just a mob. Why should he care so much?"
Wei Mingqi slaps the table. He doesn't know what's wrong with Wei Xianzu. After waiting for so many years, he finally gets to his present position, but he seems to care nothing.
"You are confused! Those people are important ministers in the court, but you think they are mobs! You are crazy
Wei Xianzu gave a sneer. Wei Mingqi had been waiting for too long and had no patience. Now a little sweetness made him dizzy and forget his identity.
"Father, if you don't like it, my Wei family is very famous now, but don't forget that this world is your Majesty's world after all. If we walk, we will make a mistake. I'm afraid we can only wait for an imperial edict!"
Wei Mingqi saw Wei Xianzu and knew the meaning of his words, but he had been waiting for so long. Did he have to be careful at this time?
"Xianzu, what are you thinking? You've been dormant for so many years, isn't that the moment? "
Wei Xianzu shook his head. He didn't want this at all. If he just wanted to get the 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. My child is not for my present position. What am I now? If I want to be below one person and above ten thousand people, I just have to wait to inherit your position
This is to say that waiting for Wei Mingqi to die, he inherited his position. This is undoubtedly a curse on his father. How can Wei Mingqi endure such words?
"Rebellious son!" Wei Mingqi slapped the table hard. Although Wei Xianzu's words are true, they sound really frightening.
"You dare to curse your own father!"
Wei Xianzu laughed. If he said that and then cursed him to death, wouldn't he have died on the battlefield many years ago?
"Why should father be angry? I'm just joking. Now there are still guests in the backyard. You should show your hospitality. Don't neglect them. What's the meaning of saying this to me? "
Wei Mingqi knew that he couldn't persuade Wei Xianzu. He was angry again. Naturally, he didn't want to say anything more, so he turned and left. Just at the door, he met Mrs. Wei, who came to give 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 knew that Wei Mingqi would not let her go.
"Bitch!"
Wei Mingqi slapped Mrs. Wei in the face. Wei Mingqi had been a military general for many years, but he still had strength. He slapped Mrs. Wei on the ground, and the cups in his hand were broken to pieces.www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
