Chapter 681: Emperor Xinde is furious!
Long Zhaohuan's plan to die in the womb of Nangui, and his mood was so bad that he was extremely bad. At this time, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry once again headed south, crossing Yanshan and heading towards the capital.
Near the capital, Long Lingxiu heard that 60,000 new Yuzhou troops were added to the capital, and she couldn't help but be furious and scolded Long Zhaohuan for breaking her trust. In anger, she ordered the attack again, and the capital was attacked again, and another battle slowly began.
On the Longyou side, the situation of partial division within the Song family was curbed. Song Wensong accepted the family's incorporation and brought back the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and the two sides were no longer hostile.
Without internal troubles, the Longyou Army sent 100,000 troops, led by Song Wensong to head from the northwest to the south, and also gathered towards the capital. For a moment, wars in the north were everywhere, and the capital was in a hurry.
When the news reached Jinling, all the prime ministers of the cabinet gathered in the Zijing Palace. Emperor Xinde discussed matters in the warm cabinet. He said, "The affairs in the north are really annoying and a pity. Cao Weiming patrols the two rivers with the name of the imperial envoy, but he was determined to divide the two rivers. He actually had a feud with the prince. Both sides fought. Are such disrespectful people still my Dakang's minister?
I think I want to issue an edict to make everyone in the world attack Cao Weiming. This is my solution!”
When Emperor Xinde said this, there was an uproar. Everyone looked at each other. Duan Tanglin said, "Your Majesty, the capital is an important place. If the capital is lost, there will be no barrier in our north. If the rebels march south, our Jiangnan will be in danger!"
Emperor Xinde snorted coldly, and suddenly stood up and said, "Duan Tanglin, I ask you who is a traitor? Cao Weiming dared to send troops to seize the capital. Isn't he a traitor?
Come, I will pass on my will and take Zhao Chongqian down to me! I will take down all the nephews and confidants who left the Cao family and the Zhao family in Jinling!"
Duan Tanglin knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible! At this time, the Cao family and the Zhao family are beneficial to the court. If Your Majesty forces the Cao family and the Zhao family to rebel, Jiangnan will be even more dangerous..."
Emperor Xinde sneered and said, "Dears, are you all the same as Duan Tanglin thought? Lu, say!"
Lu Shanchang, who had just entered the pavilion, walked forward slowly. He lowered his head and said, "Cao Weiming is really arrogant and domineering! This guy dares to compete with the prince in the north and will rebel in the future! If Your Majesty cannot curb this momentum, it may lead to the rebellion of the world in the future. Your Majesty has no prestige to speak of, so what Your Majesty says is feasible!"
Everyone was speechless when Lu Shanchang said this. Emperor Xinde was slightly stunned and said, "Do you see? The old minister of Prime Minister Lu planned the country and coincided with my thoughts. Since this is the case, I will pass on my will to push the relevant people of the Cao family, Zhao family, and others to the Meridian Gate to behead them!
In addition, the imperial edict was issued to the world that Cao Weiming held the crown prince hostage, occupied the capital, and foul the palace. All the ministers who were eager to Da Kang could expel them together..."
Emperor Xinde said something wildly, then left. As soon as others left, the cabinet immediately became in chaos. Everyone was shrouded in huge panic, especially the Duan family and the Su family, and many officials from the capital.
Emperor Xinde encouraged the Longyou Army and the Liaodong Army to capture the capital! Originally, everyone hoped that Emperor Xinde could issue an order to send troops to alleviate the danger of the capital, but Emperor Xinde not only did not issue an order to send troops, but instead added fuel to the fire. This was really incredible!
"Prime Minister Lu, why are you as confused as Your Majesty? If the capital is really captured, we will be in danger!" Duan Tanglin said, unable to help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.
Lu Shanchang sneered and said, "Can Duan Xiang not bear to see Your Majesty's intentions have been decided? If I object, I can turn the world around. I must object, but it is obvious that Your Majesty has already had a grudge against the Jiangnan Quan family. He only thinks that the Cao family and the Zhao family are allied with our Lu family.
He wants to attack the Cao family and the Zhao family, because he wants to cut out the wings and allies of our Lu family. If I object under such circumstances, Your Majesty will inevitably become more aggressive. Doesn’t Duan understand this truth?”
Duan Tanglin sighed and shook his sleeves away. Lu Shanchang took the sedan chair out of the palace and headed straight for the Lu family. Lu Zheng's body was cold today and did not go to the Ministry of Personnel to handle the work. Lu Shanchang hurried back. He was only halfway through, and Yue Feng heard the news from the Bauhinia Palace.
Hearing this news, Lu Zheng sighed softly, lying on the chair with his whole body on his back, without saying a word. After a long time, he said, "Boy, what do you think about this?"
The boy said: "Through this incident alone, we can see that Your Majesty's fear of the Jiangnan powers has reached its peak! You arranged by Cao Weiming to return to the north! Now Cao Weiming is facing a crisis, so it would be fine if he ignores it, but instead, he will attack the people of the world. This intention is obvious!
Your Majesty meant to cut off all the support from the Lu family from the outside, and then take action from the inside to continue to weaken the influence of the Lu family!"
Lu Zheng remained silent and said lightly: "The Zhao family and Wei family in the two rivers have always had their calculations and intentions. They are not allies of the Lu family, and even I and them cannot be called mutual trust. This time, your Majesty takes action, besides forcing the two rivers to rebel, I really can't see any positive effect! Hey, our Majesty, now we are going to extremes, and it's getting more and more extremes!"
The boy said, "What should we do for the sake of the present plan? What should we do?"
Lu Zheng shook his head gently and said, "We can do nothing, wait quietly, do nothing, and wait and see what happens!"
Lu Shanchang came back, and he went straight to Lu Zheng's residence. It was obvious that his expression was very serious. When he saw Lu Zheng, he said to himself: "What happened in the court today, Your Majesty seems to us..."
"Grandfather, I already know this! Your Majesty is suspicious, and more importantly, he likes to plan. If we move around this matter, it is absolutely absolutely impossible! For the sake of the current plan, we can only wait and see what changes are going on!" Lu Zheng said calmly.
Lu Shanchang said: "But if we do nothing, it will have a great impact on the WeChat of the Jiangnan Quanjia. After all, we have a big relationship with the Lianghe River. If we don't help us at this time, will it make people feel that our Lu family is too unkind and unrighteous?"
Lu Zheng sighed and said, "We can't save you even if we try our best to save you. Your Majesty has the golden words. Since he has said something, is our Lu family capable of changing the will? Unless our Lu family rebelled immediately, Da Kang will still be His Majesty's Da Kang. He is the monarch and we are the ministers, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister cannot be disturbed!"
Lu Zheng paused and continued: "Besides, Cao Weiming was really too bold and reckless to fight directly with the prince and killed all 10,000 elite troops in the capital! Also, he captured the capital, occupied the magpie's nest, and regarded the prince as a puppet, which definitely stimulated His Majesty's bottom line!
If the ministers were not punished, grandfather, have you ever thought about the terrible consequences?"
Lu Shanchang was stunned for a moment, his lips tilted, and a sudden expression appeared on his face. Lu Zheng was right, Cao Weiming was doing his own evil and was not alive! If Emperor Xinde did not turn against him, what would it mean? Do you encourage all the soldiers in the world to rebel?
In that case, the first thing Jiangnan wants to rebel may be the Lu family. The Lu family rebelled, Jinling and Jiangnan all belonged to the Lu family, and Emperor Xinde became a puppet. Will such a thing happen?
