Chapter 90 Undercurrent
Hua Lanting left the royal palace and found a casual inn to settle in.
Since he came to this world, he has never been idle except for those days of walking alone. He either fought with others or fought with others. Today, he seemed to have solved a problem and felt a little relaxed. A feeling of fatigue came. After washing, he fell down and fell asleep. He had a rare sweet and stable night of sleep.
In this world, the Hibernating Dragon Sleeping Pill can still operate on its own in sleep as before. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is insufficient, his skills have been slowly improving.
This night, Hua Lanting slept well, but the differences in mainland China were many people who stayed up day and night, each with their own thoughts, either thinking alone or being secretly discussed.
Needless to mention the fifth prince, after Hua Lanting left, the excited Hongshi was screened and urgently summoned his trusted subordinates to the mansion to discuss the strategy and specific details of the plan to compete for the throne and exile overnight, in order to carry out the action as soon as possible.
In the western suburbs of Ping'an City in the distant capital of the Dust Dynasty, there is a quiet mansion located halfway up the mountain. This is the place to cool off in summer when Emperor Ziqing Yun was young and dragon scuba. It is not large in size, but it is better to be secluded.
After Emperor Qingyun ascended the throne, everything here was naturally preserved. Emperor Qingyun was nostalgic. Although he did not come often, he would come to relax from time to time. He was placed here in the other courtyard tonight, and no one felt it was abnormal.
The defense inside the mansion was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. After Emperor Qingyun arrived, he immediately changed into light clothes, and then entered a hidden passage under the protection of an old eunuch and several personal guards.
After passing through the winding secret passage, when a few people appeared again, they had already arrived at the other side of the mountain. It was extremely hidden here, with a unique world, and only an exquisite courtyard was built next to the cliff.
There were tables and two chairs in the yard. Under the swaying lights of a stormy wind light, an old man in green robe stood with his hands behind his back, as if looking up at the starry night sky.
Hearing the voice, the old man turned to greet him and was about to greet him. Emperor Qingyun waved his hand and said, "Your dear, don't be too polite, sit down and talk with me."
The old eunuch and the guards were scattered around, facing the outside to guard. The old man sat down and said, "The Lord actually doesn't need to hurry over. Everything is under the control of the old minister. It's not time for a showdown yet."
Emperor Qingyun picked up a hot towel on the table and applied it to his face, rubbed his temples, and then pulled his eyebrows. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed softly, "I am a little impatient, but I am confused when I care, and I can't compare to the calmness of Yue Qing's family."
The old man named Yue also smiled and comforted: "After this incident, my Lord cleansed the universe. From then on, the saints were arbitrary, and their aura and mentality would definitely go to another level. The process would be a little tormented, and the subordinates would often not sleep well."
Hearing the sacred world, the sage of the Holy Bow made eight words, Emperor Qingyun's eyes became eager and asked, "Yue Ye, when did you think we would be able to close the Internet?"
The person in front of Emperor Qingyun was the General Pingnan who should have been imprisoned in the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice, Hou Yueye of Qingyuan!
Yue Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, shrank and set off, and replied, "It won't be too long for me to return to the emperor. During the period when I was imprisoned, the court had been turbulent, and the clowns could not help but slowly emerged. Most of the people who were in the back party showed their true colors. At that time, we used thunder methods to catch them all. Even if there were some fish that missed the net, they would not be able to make up the storm. From then on, the emperor could display their ambitions and create an unprecedented foundation for our dynasty."
Emperor Qingyun nodded slowly: "I didn't want to be so decisive. After all, I was able to inherit the throne. Although it was the result of compromise between all parties, the queen's team always made great contributions, but these people have always held the power."
"It's okay, I can't bear it, but they eliminate dissidents, form cliques for personal gain, are keen on internal conflicts, and ignore the threats from the surrounding four dynasties, which has led to the secretly difficult situation of the government."
"Since I have been ordered by heaven, I should think of the country and the country, and I cannot sit idly by and watch it."
After a pause, Emperor Qingyun clenched his fist and gently hit the table: "Sometimes ago, the imperial seal disappeared! The wolf's ambition was obvious, so why should I not be anxious? How can I not be angry!"
Yue Ye's eyebrows and eyes drooped, and said, "The emperor is kind and kind, and he is responsible for the will of heaven and the people of the world are the most important. This is a blessing for our dynasty."
"The Later Party made contributions, but it was arrogance and arrogant because of its favor. The emperor had already become an adult, but they still controlled the power of the court for their own glory. This was a deception of the king and the emperor. If this continues, the country will not be tolerated."
Emperor Qingyun was less than 30 years old and had a very handsome face. He was only because of his long-term depression. His eyebrows were often tightened and there was a shallow hanging needle pattern. He asked at this time: "Is my substitute exposed in the Heavenly Prison, right?"
Yue Ye replied: "Don't worry, the Ministry of Justice is under the control of the Later Party, but with the emperor's strict order, they will not make any moves on the surface. I have been preparing for many years, and it is not the first time that the substitute has been used, so it is foolproof."
Then he said: "Since the minister and the emperor decided on this bitter plan, the emperor first imprisoned the minister, and then led the minister to the death, and then began to lock up the main confidants, and recently released the news that it was about to be tried. During this period, our people launched several huge campaigns of guaranteed ministers. After several debates and several hot and cold, the party members who were hidden in the central and local areas in the court and the rear, as well as many officials who usually appeared as neutral or on the wall, lifted their veils and started to take sides. They just waited for the time to be ripe and took them together, and then the world would naturally return to their hearts."
Emperor Qingyun said Yinyin: "It's very good, I've killed it wrong, I've been killed."
"I have read the list of substitute officials who have been prepared by my dear. There are children of aristocratic clans, as well as many middle-level officials and poor scholars who were unsuccessful under the pressure of the Later Party. I am sure that they can fill the vacancy after the great purge and make a quick transition to avoid turmoil in the court."
After saying that, Emperor Qingyun asked with concern: "There is no problem with people's hands? What else do I need to do?"
The Hou of Qingyuan solemnly replied: "Master, please relax. The old minister has focused his main energy these days."
"In the power of guarding the city and guarding the capital outside, in addition to the Shenfeng Camp, the direct descendant of the Later Party, the main responsibilities and subordinate officers of the Shenji Camp and the Shence Camp have been gradually replaced by ministers, and the Admiral of the Nine Gate has also surrendered to ministers."
"The remaining Tianqingwei, Tianyunwei and the imperial guards all served the emperor. In addition, I have secretly ordered a team of elite troops from Pingnan Camp to sneak into the suburbs in batches and standby in a row. We have a very reliable grasp of the capital."
"What are the trends of the surrounding countries?" Emperor Qingyun asked again.
Yue Yun continued: "Of course they are not honest and are eyeing each other, especially Zhao Shiheng jumps up and down, and is very restless."
"However, according to the previous plan, there is a sacred son Yue Jia from Pingnan Camp to cooperate with Prince Beiyan, and the south is as solid as a god."
"In addition, a total of two new recruits have been deployed to the north to strengthen the defense of the Heng Dynasty. With the old Duke Tong in charge, there is no need to worry about the north."
"The Prince Huinan in the east has always been calm and neutral. I heard that the Japanese pirates along the coast of Wenlan were rampant. As long as Wenlan couldn't take care of himself, the Prince Huinan was still in control of the border, and it would not affect the general trend."
"The Hou Party and the King of Xitai have been operating in the west for a long time. We didn't expect to solve the problem in one step, so we should slowly plan it. Fortunately, the King of Xitai took the initiative to return to Beijing to report his duties this time, and he was really worried about the situation in the imperial capital. This is good. Once we take action against the forces of the Hou Party, he will stop acting rashly, otherwise he will never go back to his nest."
"In addition, I have arranged a group of people in the Western Regions and are also secretly liaison activities. If necessary, I can restrain the support."
Emperor Qingyun nodded slightly: "I have always been relieved to do things. In addition, I just reported that a small group of Japanese people dressed up as Wenlan's people sneaked into our dynasty to make trouble, intending to provoke disagreements between the two countries."
Qingyuan Hou said: "I have heard of it. This is a small matter and will not affect the overall situation. Let the local authorities handle it well."
Emperor Qingyun said again: "I heard that my beloved sons are now missing. Is there any news now?"
Yue Ye stood up after hearing this: "Xie Sheng was worried. He originally wanted to make a good job. Unexpectedly, there was a spy in the Dark Moon Guard. There was a mistake, but Yue Jing's child has escaped from danger. I have already taken someone to look for him, so there should be no major problems."
Emperor Qingyun said: "It's good that this is the best. My dear ministers have devoted all their efforts to the country. The two princes will be pillars of the country in the future, and there is no need to do anything."
After a king and a minister had planned some issues, Emperor Qingyun started his journey and returned.
After Emperor Qingyun left, Yue Ye, Hou of Qingyuan, sat alone in the courtyard. He was over fifty years old, but he had a slight frost on his temples. Yue Ye looked north, his face was unpredictable. After thinking for a while, he took a pen and wrote a few text messages, called his personal follower and sent it with a carrier pigeon, and then went back to the house to sleep.
After returning to his residence, Emperor Qingyun did not rest, but called the eunuch, the old eunuch. His real name was Ma Youfang. He had been with him since Emperor Qingyun's childhood and was the absolute confidant of Emperor Qingyun.
Emperor Qingyun said: "Old Ma, it seems that everything is going smoothly, but for some reason, I feel a vague feeling of uneasiness?"
Ma Youfang replied: "The emperor endured for many years, and now he succeeded and failed in one move. It is inevitable that he would be worried about gains and losses. It is normal for human nature."
He paused and said, "If the emperor is worried, according to the old slave's opinion, it is better to send out the heavens..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Qingyun said, "I have the intention to raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. The matter is very important. If you don't need it at this time, then I will be at ease. The Marquis of Qingyuan is doing things properly, but I am afraid that he will be in a mess. You can inform me, no, you should go there in person."
Ma Youfang bowed and agreed and left the door.
The night was dark, and in the study of the Dongqing Prince Mansion, a man sat behind the desk of the book. His figure was as tall as a mountain. Looking beside him, his side face was somewhat similar to Yue Jing. It was the imperial uncle Dongqing Prince who was famous for his good martial arts and usually traveled outside, but often saw the head but not the tail.
King Dongqing gently stroked the fingers of the table that had no one in for many days, and the slightest dusty light flashed in his eyes and said to himself: "Are you going to use it finally? The way of heaven is difficult, and I have seen a glimpse of the secret of heaven. Emperor, I will help you before leaving."
"Come here, I will issue the Tiandu Order and let all Tiandu Guards enter Beijing within seven days."
At the same time, a side hall in the Xitai Palace not far away was brightly lit, and the backbone of the Hou Party headed by the Xitai King was also secretly discussing the court overnight.
After the meeting, several secret orders were divided into different places.
In the distance, in the Pingnan Camp of the Southern Front of the Chen Dynasty, the young marquis, Yue Jia, who was supposed to be detained, did not fall asleep at this moment, but was discussing military information with Prince Bei Yan.
Yue Jing's appearance was very similar to that of the Qingyuan Hou when he was young, and he was quite heroic. King Beiyan was in his forties, with loose skin and old appearance, and looked like a rich man with a pampered and generous life.
The two seemed to have some dispute over something, and they each insisted on each other and refused to give in. Finally, Yue Jia said:
"The prince doesn't have to persuade him anymore. I have decided. Since ancient times, I will not give any instructions from outside the king. At such an extraordinary time, with the intelligence system of the princes spreading across mainland merchants, I am eighty-point sure that the battle will be successful. The southern border must be true, but I have the skills to do it."
King Beiyan sighed helplessly, but still compromised, saying, "Since you persisted so much, I will not stop your filial piety, but the premise is that the battle is successful, otherwise I will not be able to shake Yue Hou and your subordinates, Qiu Bajun. You must stay." Yue Jia nodded and agreed.
Undercurrents everywhere in the Chen Dynasty, the situation was confusing. The Heng Dynasty in the northern part was also frequently mobilized. Emperor Zhao Deyin, Prince Zhao Hanfei and a group of ministers analyzed intelligence for several days, planned the layout of the subordinates, purified the army, allocated food and grass, and prepared for the southern expedition, just waiting for the evolution of the situation in the Chen Dynasty and the results of negotiations with the other three dynasties.
Hua Lanting naturally didn't know about these situations. After he woke up early in the morning, he was thinking about how to destroy the alliance between the Heng Dynasty and Wen Lan.
He learned from the fifth prince that the special envoy of the Heng Dynasty had arrived in Wenlan and the eighth prince Hongtu was responsible for the matter. The special envoy had been arranged to a royal palace in Zizhong Mountain.
