Chapter 58 A group of lunatics

An error occurred while processing s private file

There is only one loyal minister around the prince, and the prince's secretary Geng Nanzhong. The prince is very low-key and dares to form cliques to anger the emperor. But now it is not possible. He is forced to the edge of the cliff and has no way out. News comes from the center that if the Northern Expedition goes well, Prince Yun will serve as the commander of the Northern Expedition Army. This is to go down the mountain to pick peaches. Prince Yun can get the credit for regaining Youyan without any effort. What will happen next is self-evident.

The Dazai Wang Fu (fu, the current prime minister, was very firmly supporting the emperor to depose the legitimate and establish the illegitimate concubine. The emperor drove Cai Jing home and asked Wang Fu to serve as prime minister, which must have the purpose of rebuilding the imperial throne. Fortunately, Zheng Juzhong, the Western Prefecture, was also silent in this matter. Zheng Juzhong and Cai Jing have many similarities, both of them trusted by the emperor and old guys. They were both in charge of the east and west mansions for more than ten years, and they had the same ups and downs. Cai Jing has been appointed as prime minister three times so far, and Zheng Juzhong has been in charge of the Privy Council three times. The relationship between the two is also good and has a good personal relationship.

Behind Zheng Juzhong is Empress Zheng in the Central Palace. Emperor Zheng sympathized with Zhao Heng very much. Her mother died at a young age. Because of her mediocre qualifications and no father's love, she is now forced by her father and brother to even her life in danger. Of course, Empress Zheng will not interfere in politics, but her sympathy will tell Zheng Juzhong that if possible, she will still help the prince. This is enough. Fuck**

Cai Jing offered advice to Zhao Heng, and in the Western Prefecture, he sought help from Zheng Juzhong; in the Eastern Prefecture, he had secretly got Li Bangyan. Li Bangyan was the emperor's favorite minister, but he was Wang Fu's mortal enemy. The so-called secretly got Li Bangyan. It was to use the power of Zheng Juzhong in the Western Prefecture to join forces with Li Bangyan to fight against Wang Fu and pull Wang Fu off the stage. Wang Fu was the prime minister. Wang Fu stepped down, and who would succeed him as prime minister will directly affect the fate of the prince.

The prince understood and pulled Wang Fu off the stage. The emperor most likely wanted to invite Cai Jing out again. With the support of the heads of the East and West governments, the position of the prince became stable.

Cai Jing continued to say something, and the prince realized that if he talked about power and tricks, no one in the world would be able to compare with Cai Jing today.

If you want to pull Wang Fu off the stage, you must first bring Tong Guan off the stage. Behind Wang Fu is Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng. If you want to pull Tong Guan off the stage, the best way is to destroy the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition failed. Prince Yun would not have the opportunity to build great merits, and this merit was the powerful weapon for Prince Yun to replace the prince.

How did Yan Yun recover the Northern Expedition fail? The mountain is already in the hands of Li Hu, and Li Hu has long since defected to the Song Dynasty. Tong Guan was defeated and he would definitely seek help from Li Hu. Li Hu got the situation in front of the mountain, and the situation was complicated. What if Li Hu didn't give it? It's very simple, unite with the Jin people and the Xixia people to fight Li Hu, but this is the ultimate solution. The Song Dynasty may lose the mountain. The more appropriate way is to use the Northwest Army to threaten the mountain and force Li Hu to withdraw from Yanjing, but this is not a good idea. Because even if the Song Dynasty took Yanyun back, the battle for imperial rule still exists, and the prince is still in many crises. Cai Jing again

He offered suggestions, using Li Hu's survival crisis, controlling Li Hu in his hands, and then using Li Hu's power to completely reverse the situation and ensure the position of the prince. On the one hand, the prince can use the power of the east and west governments to actively reduce the vassals, causing a huge survival crisis for Li Hu. Li Hu's survival difficulties. Of course, he had to seek help. At this time, he used the Northwest General Family to form an alliance with Li Hu. Then formed a community of interests between the Northwest General Party and Li Hu. In this way, the prince formed two governments inside and the east government and Li Hu and the northwest General Party outside. Not only could the position of the prince be guaranteed, but the throne was as stable as a rock.

How to secretly establish the Northwest General? Through Zheng Juzhong, Zhe Yanzhi got his hands, controlled the Northwest Zhe family through Zhe Yanzhi, and established interest connections between the Zhe family and Li Hu. Such a big plan could be achieved.

The prince returned happily. Cai Jing was also very happy. The Cai family's future is very bright. The emperor trusts him today, and the dispute over the imperial rule in Bian Jing is controlled by him. I am afraid that the emperor will not have the final say, but the final say, but, can he live to a certain day? If he kicks his legs in advance, he will be in vain.\\*\\\\

The Zhe family was pushed into the whirlpool of the imperial throne by Cai Jing.

Now that the Zhe family and the prince are on the same boat, Zhe Keqiu has no choice but to use all his strength to stabilize the tail rudder and drive the boat in the storm and rush forward, what else can he do?

The most difficult problem facing the Zhe family now is how to affect Li Hu's choice. Li Hu's choice of the crown prince would be happy, but this road was too long and difficult, and the future would be unpredictable. If he chose the emperor and supported the emperor to depose the legitimate and establish the illegitimate wife, the emperor would be happy for a moment, and he would probably not attack him in the short term. In comparison, Li Hu's choice to support the emperor would make greater profits, at least he could solve the current real problems and live in peace with Bianjing. On the contrary, secretly supporting the crown prince would be angered by the emperor, and both sides would turn against each other and meet each other.

"Brother has come up with a solution?" Zhe Kecun asked.

Zhe Keqiu hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "I think marriage may be a good idea."

"Marriage?" Zhe Kecun asked in surprise, "Who? Which sister do you want to marry Li Hu?"

"Meiying, I want to use Meiying to marry.==="

Zhe Meiying is Zhe Keqiu's little sister, and she is sixteen years old this year. She had already betrothed to the Gao family in the northwest, but the Gao family's son died in Shuofang with Liu Fa, so the marriage was fine. Zhe Meiying and Gao family's son were childhood sweethearts, and the little girl was deeply in love with him, so she has not been engaged until now.

"You..." Zhe Kecun was angry immediately, "No, I don't agree. Meiying was unfortunate in the beginning, how could you use her to marry? It's absolutely not possible."

"What do you think of?" Zhe Keqiu asked, "Which sister did you think you should use to marry? In addition to marriage, what method can we use to establish trust with Li Hu in the shortest time? Without trust from each other, how can we pull Li Hu onto the prince's ship? You said? Tell me?"

Zhe Kecun lowered his head and said nothing. After a long time, he said, "Miying is so pitiful."

"What's so pitiful? I'm staying at home for free and I'm standing on the top of the mountain and thinking about that dead ghost. I'm angry when I see it." Zhe Keqiu said angrily, "She is the daughter of the Zhe family. She should have worked for the Zhe family when she was born. Now the Zhe family needs her. Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of her, she has no reason to retreat."

"Brother..." Zhe Kecun couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Zhe Keke, "She is your sister, her dear sister. Fuck**"

"If she pushes and stops her like the previous few times, I will break her legs and throw her to the bottom of the mountain to feed the wolf." Zhe Keqiu looked murderous, and Zhe Kecun was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Zhe Kecun asked in a low voice: "Then when are you going to talk to Li Hu about the prince?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes."

“What kind of timing?”

Zhe Keqiu looked cold and didn't say anything for a long time. Zhe Kecun knew his brother, and when he saw the expression on his face, he knew something happened again. "Brother, what happened again?"

"Zhi Niang and Bian Jing are all his mother-in-laws." Zhe Keqiu cursed fiercely, and then whispered, "Zhong Gu wrote that the government had decided to discuss peace with the Khitans, while urgently allocating 150,000 troops from Jingjin, Jingdong, Jingxi and Huainan east and west, intending to launch another attack with 200,000 troops. At the same time, the government ordered to recruit 800,000 people, empty the arsenals of various places, and transport all the weapons accumulated over the past decades to Hebei to ensure the military needs of the Northern Expedition Army."

Zhe Kecun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. The emperor and the ministers in Bianjing were really crazy. The root cause of the failure of the Northern Expedition was not the lack of army or the lack of weapons, but the endless power struggle in the court and in the court. The court struggles were endless, and if the Northern Expedition wanted to win, it was harder than climbing to the sky.

"The emperor hinted that the Privy Council should give Li Hu the greatest assistance possible to ensure that Li Hu defends Datong so that Li Hu and the Northern Expedition Army could carry out two-way attacks. To this end, Zhonggu told me in the letter that without affecting the security of the mansion and Lin, he would transfer more troops into Datong by replacing the pillars and lands."

"Stealing the pillar? What does it mean?" Zhe Kecun didn't understand.

"Didn't Zhang Xiaochun recruit more than 20,000 village soldiers?" Zhe Keqiu said, "This is my idea. The purpose of recruiting the village soldiers was to deceive the people of Xixia. I took the opportunity to transfer the elites from the Mansion and Lin line to Ningwu Pass. We went north to support 50,000 elites, which should be a timely help for Li Hu."

Zhe Kecun was secretly surprised. He transferred 20,000 troops in one go, which was almost all the main force of the Prefecture. "This is too dangerous. If something happens to the Prefecture..."

"The people of Xixia dare to attack Shaanxi, but they will never dare to attack our prefectures." Zhe Keqiu looked arrogant.

"Why did the Zhe family take such a big risk?" "Because the government had a plan to make the second Northern Expedition, let Prince Yun be the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, and let Prince Yun make achievements." Zhe Keqiu said, "So the government must ensure the victory of the Northern Expedition and ensure that Li Hu can send troops to Youyan, but the government wanted to join forces with the Jin people to eliminate Li Hu, so he had to keep a move. He was unwilling to the Song army to publicly support Datong, but we wanted to go north to support under the banner of Li Hu."

"Is it necessary for me, the Song Dynasty to do such a sneaky thing? A small wild country will be beaten if it is fought, so what?" Zhe Kecun said angrily.

"We listened to Zhonggu. This time we went north and hide our traces. When we arrived at the battlefield, we would be under the banner of Li Hu." Zhe Keqiu was too lazy to argue with him and continued, "The important purpose of the second Northern Expedition was to establish great merits for Prince Yun. However, if Li Hu was unwilling to send troops with various excuses, the government would not dare to send Prince Yun to avoid losing to Prince Yun, leaving a great defeat for Prince Yun. Therefore, Zhonggu meant that we should fully support Li Hu within the scope allowed by the government, and let Li Hu owe us a favor. Regardless of whether Li Hu would work with us in the future, this time, he would not be allowed to send troops to Youyan, and he would not be able to establish merits for Prince Yun."

Zhe Kecun nodded and agreed with Zhe Keqiu's statement.
