149, position change(1/3)
Tie Muer was killed and Tuoba Yin was assassinated. In the past two days, Shangjing Imperial City was indeed a rare undercurrent in the past two years. Some people who were timid and had some property in their families even quietly left the capital for fear that they would be affected by accident.
Everyone has not lived easily these days.
The most concerned thing about Tuoba Yin's assassination was naturally Tuoba Luo. Although Tuoba Yin was the prince, the Northern Jin Emperor was not the only son of Tuoba Yin, and Tuoba Yin was not the most favored and valued son of the Northern Jin Emperor. Tuoba Luo only had Tuoba Yin, a brother with the same mother. He was raised since childhood, and the relationship between the two brothers was a little better than that of ordinary brothers. Not to mention, if something happened to Tuoba Yin, what kind of blow would be to the forces of Tuoba Luo.
"Big Brother." In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Tuoba Yin sat on the couch and looked at Tuoba Luo who was spinning in the room helplessly, "Can you sit down?" His head hurt a little when he turned around. Tuoba Luo snorted lightly and said, "You really don't know the identities of those assassins?"
Tuoba Yin shook his head and said, "But I can guess. He should be from the Ming Prince's Mansion."
"oh?"
Tuoba Yin said: "Brother, you must have heard that there is a secret organization under the command of the Ming King. I have met these people outside before, and they look like the assassin yesterday." Tuoba Luo's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tuoba Liang! He is too much!"
Tuoba Yin frowned and said, "The Ming King may think that Tie Muer's death was our attack."
Tuoba Luo snorted lightly and sneered, "Even if he knew that Tie Muer was not our move, he would still attack you. If something happened to you, wouldn't the one who led the army be his son-in-law? He would be so heartless if a Apocalypse led his troops to the battle."
Tuoba Yin was silent and Tuoba Luo's speculation was not wrong. Although Baili Qinghong had not made a name for the past ten years, he had the credit for capturing Xie Tingze three years ago and was the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Ming was supported by the King of Ming. This expedition to attack Cangyun City may make him dominant. Even if there is some constraint, it is a private matter for the Ming Palace itself.
Tuoba Luo couldn't help but start pacing again, and said, "King Ming wants to take all the credit for the conquest of Cangyun City into his own hands."
Tuoba Yin said lightly: "Brother, Cangyun City may not be able to fight."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Luo couldn't help but frown, looking at Tuoba Yin and said, "Father is determined to deal with Cangyun City and Nanzheng this time. Why? Do you think Cangyun City is really that difficult to deal with?"
Tuoba Yin said: "The location of Cangyun City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At that time, Zha Yan Fengxiao was a genius. In recent years... let alone attacking Cangyun City, no one has ever touched the edge of Cangyun City. Cangyun City is located in dangerous passes in the east, mountains in the north, and the south is the widest and most rapid water flowing on the Lingcang River. On the west is the hundreds of miles of marina adjacent to Xiqin. If a foolish and incompetent general is a fool, it is okay to meet someone like Yan Fengxiao...even if he wants to be the king, it is not impossible."
Tuoba Luo frowned and said, "If you are not sure, we won't get involved this time." We have to fight for military merits. If we know that it is a defeat, what else can we do? Tuoba Yin and Yan Fengxiao have fought against each other several times, but they have not gained any advantage. If they lose to Yan Fengxiao again, it will be hindered to Tuoba Yin's reputation.
Tuoba Yin shook his head and said, "No, I want to go."
Tuoba Luo frowned and said, "Fourth brother, this is not the time to act irritating."
Tuoba Yin said: "Brother, I know it. Yan Fengxiao has a good position, we have the advantage of military and horses, and no one suffers this time. I want to fight Yan Fengxiao fairly once."
Looking at Tuoba Yin's firm expression, Tuoba Luo had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said, "Be careful."
Tuoba Yin nodded lightly, "Brother came to see me, not just to talk about this, right?"
Tuoba Luo then thought about his business and patted his head, "Fourth brother, what master can you use?" Tuoba Yin said, "Brother, you don't want to take revenge on King Ming, right? This is not appropriate." Tuoba Luo said angrily: "Am I such a person who doesn't know the importance of it? The assassination of King Ming is related to King Ming, I have reported to my father. But... if you can't move King Ming, we can move somewhere else."
"Um?"
Tuoba Luo said: "Do you know about the black market, my fourth brother."
Tuoba Yin lowered his eyes and said, "I know, I've been there."
Tuoba Luo was a little surprised, "Have you been there?"
Tuoba Yin nodded and said, "I went to buy something. Which place is related to the Ming Prince's Mansion?"
Tuoba Luo said in a deep voice: "That place is now in the hands of the Ming King. I have always been wondering, where did Tuoba Liang come from to support the private army? Jun Wuhuan is not a boy from Shancai." Tuoba Yin pondered for a moment and said: "I do have some people in my hands that can be used, but compared with the Ming King's Mansion, I'm afraid it's still not enough. If the eldest brother wants to attack the black market, it's best not to use these people."
"What do you think of the fourth brother?" Tuoba Luo asked.
Tuoba Yin said: "Brother, why not report to your father first, and then lead troops to copy the place directly. That kind of place should not exist."
Tuoba Luo frowned and hesitated. Tuoba Yin sighed and said, "Brother is also interested in that place?"
Tuoba Luo was helpless and walked to Tuoba Yin to sit down, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Fourth brother, not only Tuoba Liang needs money, but we also need it." Now, he was proud of his father's greatest reliance on the eldest prince, but in fact he was forced to become a thorn in everyone's eyes, but he didn't get any benefits. Sometimes Tuoba Luo was a little doubtful whether his father deliberately pushed him out as a shield.
Tuoba Yin was silent for a while, then took out a token and said, "Brother, take it."
Tuoba Luo took the token and looked at his younger brother with a moving look, "Fourth brother, thank you for your elder brother."
Tuoba Yin said: "Brother, you don't have to think too much about your brother."
Tuoba Luo went out with Tuoba Yin's token. The sunlight outside the door made his eyes hurt a little, and he couldn't help but reach out to block the light. Not far away, the Fourth Prince's concubine came over with someone, holding a bowl of something in her hand that was not known as medicine or soup.
"Big Brother."
"My brother and sister." Tuoba Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the things in the hands of the Fourth Prince's concubine, and advised: "The fourth brother is injured and is in a bad mood. If the fourth brother and sister have time, it is better to take good care of the children." The implication was that the Fourth Prince's concubine did not disturb Tuoba Yin.
Tuoba Yin was also very troubled with this younger brother and sister. He was not good at the time and insisted on provoking the Princess Tianqi. With the current relationship between Tianqi and Northern Jin, the princess' status in Northern Jin is not as good as the humble concubine. Even if she really gave birth to a child, she could not change her status. What if she was even a little bitched by the fourth brother? Could it be that she could still kick you, the princess? If you must not tolerate her, it would be fine if you were to be killed directly, and you would also be smart and sent back to Huanyiyuan. She died so miserable and embarrassing. Not to mention Tuoba Yin, even if Tuoba Luo met such a woman, she would not tolerate her.
The fourth prince's concubine bit the corner of her lip with some reluctance and said, "Brother, the prince is seriously injured. I cooked some supplements for the prince..."
Tuobalu looked at her meaningfully and said, "It's best if you know what you know in your heart."
After saying that, he ignored the Fourth Prince's Consort and walked out quickly. The Fourth Prince's Consort turned around and looked at Tuoba Luo's back as he left, biting the corner of his lips and couldn't help but show a little resentment in his eyes. Everyone blamed her, wasn't it just that a woman who was apocalypse died? She didn't kill her with her own hands! She hasn't lived a miserable life in the past three years?
Jun's Mansion
Jun Wuhuan leaned lazily in a lounge chair, closed his eyes to rest. A fox fur covered him with only a pale, bloodless face.
"Young Master." Wenhu bowed outside the door to report.
Jun Wuhuan slowly opened his eyes and said lightly: "What's the matter?"
"The eldest prince is here." Wenhu said. Jun Wuhuan sat up slowly and said, "It's just that I'm sick and I don't see guests."
Wenhu was stunned and looked at Jun Wuhuan hesitantly. Jun Wuhuan smiled faintly and said, "Go."
"Yes, young master." Wen Hu stopped talking and quickly turned back to Tuoba Luo.
Jun Wuhuan stood up from the recliner and threw the fox fur on the recliner. His thin white clothes made him look thinner and slender as bamboo.
"Young Master." A figure appeared at the door. The person who came was wearing clothes that were exactly the same as all the servants in the Jun Mansion, but his face seemed very stiff. As long as he walked in, he could tell that it was a disguised fake face. But this person and Jun Wuhuan obviously didn't care. Jun Wuhuan said, "Come in and talk."
The man stood up and walked into the flower hall. Jun Wuhuan waved his sleeves and swept out the door and was locked behind him.
The room suddenly became a little dark. Jun Wuhuan walked to the bottom of the main seat and opened a box on the table. A faint halo flowed out of the box. It was a huge night pearl.
Jun Wuhuan looked at the person below and asked, "What do Tuoba Liang want to do?"
The man lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Return to the young master, Tuoba Liang planned to take advantage of Tuoba Xingye's absence from the capital to raise an army to seize the throne."
Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly, "Does he want to be an emperor crazy?"
The man shook his head and said, "Tuoba Liang's command has many supporters. The Northern Jin Emperor wanted to make the eldest prince the prince, but it was probably aroused the dissatisfaction of many old powerful people of the clan. Moreover, the National Master of Nangong also seemed to be interested in helping the Ming King. Now Tuoba Xingye is not here, and there are Baili Qinghong and Nangong Yuyue on Tuoba Liang's side. If the prince is added, it is not impossible to force the palace to be seized."
Jun Wuhuan lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Especially, Tuoba Yin is still injured now."
The man nodded silently.
Jun Wuhuan asked: "Why did Tuoba Liang suddenly want to seize the throne by forcibly? What has been stimulated recently?"
The man was stunned for a moment, "Young Master... aren't you planning to help Tuoba Liang seize the throne? But what's wrong?" Jun Wuhuan caressed his fingertips casually and said, "There's nothing wrong, it's just... it's a little smoother, which surprised me. Tuoba Liang has been enduring for so many years, and I thought it would take some effort to persuade him."
The man smiled and said, "Tuoba Liang now thinks he has controlled the young master. He is already strong. Now that he has the help of his son, someone has restrained Tuoba Xingye for him. I guess he has no worries, right? I heard that the Northern Jin Emperor is in poor health today. If the Northern Jin Emperor forced the throne to the eldest prince, it would be difficult to deal with it. Not to mention anything else, the people around the Northern Jin Emperor and General Tuoba will definitely support the eldest prince."
Jun Wuhuan nodded and said, "Tuoba Luo will attack the black market in the past two days. You can help him."
"Young Master means..."
Jun Wuhuan said lightly: "Since Tuoba Liang wants Lingxiao Business to help him so much, why not let him rely on it more."
The man knew it and nodded, "What the young master said is, but... Tuoba Liang has been secretly contacting several larger merchants in the Northern Jin Dynasty recently. Among them, the Fuling Wang family has sent her legitimate daughter to Shangjing. Tuoba Liang is preparing to let her be the concubine of the eldest son of the Ming Prince's Mansion."
"As expected." Jun Wuhuan didn't care. "If Lingxiao Trading Company was the only one, Tuoba Liang would naturally not be relieved. If nothing unexpected happens, he would choose several merchants to support him so that he can compete with me in the future."
"We don't care?"
"No matter." Jun Wuhuan said, "When the matter is over, what's wrong with giving him everything from Shangjing? As long as he can swallow it, go, remember, you must help Tuoba Luo grab the black market. If you can't grab it, you will destroy it."
"Yes, the young master. The subordinate took his leave."
Tuoba Luo did not feel angry after being turned away at Jun's house. In fact, he was mentally prepared before coming. The reason why he came here in person was just to make sure. Someone saw Jun Wuhuan visiting the Ming Palace and lingering in the Ming Palace for at least an hour. When he left, there was a black wooden box around him. Although he didn't know what was inside, there were definitely not many things that could make him look at with Jun Wuhuan's current identity.
Therefore, Tuoba Luo had to have some bad premonitions and speculations. Now, it turns out... Jun Wuhuan, who treated him with courtesy a few days ago, directly refused to see him this time.
Tuoba Luo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, as if he said, "Go to Princess Wu'an's Mansion."
When Tuoba Luo arrived, Chu Ling was reading a book. When he heard that the eldest prince asked to see Chu Ling, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and asked him to go to the flower hall to use tea.
He casually placed the book in his hand on the table, and Chu Ling changed his clothes before going to the hall to meet the guests.
"The eldest prince is here, I hope to forgive you if you have any mistakes." Chu Ling walked into the flower hall and said with a smile. Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "It was me who disturbed the princess."
Chu Ling sat down and looked at Tuoba Luo and said curiously: "The eldest prince is busy with everything. Logically speaking, he won't come to my humble house if he is fine? But what happened?" Tuoba Luo said: "There is no big deal, but there are some small things that I want to ask the princess for help."
"Please say." Chu Ling said: "If you can do your best, you will not refuse."
Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "I don't know if the princess still remembers the place I mentioned a few days ago."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "Of course I remember, why, the eldest prince wants to invite me to see you together?"
Tuoba Luo said: "I really need to see it, but I don't know if the princess is interested."
Chu Ling said: "Although I don't like to walk around normally, I am still curious. If the eldest prince invites me, I will naturally go there."
Tuoba Luo looked at Chu Ling and asked, "What if I want to ask the princess to help and destroy this place?"
Chu Ling was stunned, "The eldest prince said this..."
Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry. Since I said this, I am not afraid of spreading it out. Of course... it is best not to spread it out. I can trust the character of the princess and General Tuoba." Chu Ling sighed and said, "It's better to find Jun Wuhuan for this kind of thing than the eldest prince to find me. As far as I know, aren't your friendship good?"
Tuoba Luo sighed and said helplessly: "Don't you know the princess yet? Mr. Jun is now... I'm afraid it's better to have a better relationship with the prince's mansion."
"How could it be? I haven't heard of this news." Chu Ling said unexpectedly.
Tuoba Luo said: "It should be soon, everyone in the capital will hear about it."
Chu Ling frowned and said with some concern: "If so, your Majesty will..." Tuoba Luo shook his head, "Young Master Jun always has his reason to do this."
To be continued...
