Chapter 289 The side of the couch, how can others snoring

After the dark guard left, Liu Yiji stared out the window in a daze.

At the beginning, Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang and Xie Hui, in order to protect the third brother's position, designed to demote the second brother to a commoner, and then forced the eldest brother to abdicate.

These were originally planned, and even Liu Yiji felt that the third brother was more suitable to ascend to the throne.

However, to the surprise of the two brothers, Xu Xianzhi and the others executed the elder brother and the second elder brother in private!
Although Liu Yiji also knew that it was impossible to be soft-hearted in the battle for the throne.But as long as he thinks that his elder brother and second brother, who have no power to resist, are being strangled to death, he can't breathe as if his own throat is locked!
Liu Yiji couldn't guess whether the third brother felt the same way as him.

He also couldn't guess whether Liu Yilong's pursuit of Xu Xianzhi's three crimes was out of revenge for his elder brother and second brother, or because he was worried that Xu Xianzhi would abolish his throne sometime.

Liu Yiji doesn't understand, being an emperor can really make people no longer worry about family affection, whether it is an elder brother or an imperial sister, can they be used?

Will there come a day when his most beloved third brother will use him for the throne?
Liu Yiji looked at the secret decree in his hand and murmured, "Maybe, I'm already a pawn..."

But in fact, this time, Liu Yiji wrongly blamed Liu Yilong.At least Liu Yilong didn't intend to attack Xu Xianzhi and others before he received the letter from the Seventh Prince.

When the news of Qiu Chi and Daxia Suoguo came back to Jiankang, Liu Yilong was keenly aware that things had changed.He will go to Yanzhi and Tan Daoji to announce into the palace and ask them how they think about this matter.

After Yanzhi talked for a long time, he didn't make any substantive suggestions.

After being silent for a long while, Tan Daoji accurately deduced the current situation of the battle, "Your Majesty, I dare to guess. There may be a big battle between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty."

Since Tan Daoji took the initiative to inform Liu Yilong about Tan Yaoyu's discovery of the jade seal, Liu Yilong's suspicion of this veteran has decreased a lot.

At this time, Tan Daoji's words were to the point, just as Liu Yilong thought in his heart.

He nodded, "I and the general's thoughts coincided with each other. Therefore, I summoned my two love ministers to take this opportunity to assist me to revive the imperial court."

Liu Yilong stared at the two people in front of him for a while, and then said, "Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang, who killed the king with their ministers and killed the young emperor, have been put in the prison of the court captain to await trial. Xie Hui, the governor of Jingzhou, also participated in the murder of the king, and In the area around the Yangtze River, support the soldiers with self-respect. The ambition of wolves is clearly revealed. I wonder if the two lovers are willing to fight against the traitors for me?"

Dao Yanzhi was Liu Yilong's trusted confidant in Jingzhou, and he knelt down without hesitation at this time, "I am willing to help the emperor get rid of this serious trouble."

Tan Daoji stood still, he knew that the emperor was not simply trying to settle old scores, but to gather back all the scattered rights.

Although Tan Daoji and Wang Hong did not participate in the killing of the young emperor, they were also on the side of Xu Xianzhi and others when the emperor was abolished.If he really got to the bottom of it, he and Wang Hong would not be able to reap any benefits.

It's just that Wang Hong is from the Langya Wang family, and his two nephews, Wang Hua and Wang Tanshou, followed Liu Yilong early on.

Even for the sake of these two confidants, Liu Yilong would spare Wang Hong's life.

Now that the northern border is about to be in chaos, no matter which country it is, there is no spare power to send troops to Liu Song again.This is the best time to hand over Xie Hui, who has military power.

It's just that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking. If Xie Hui is executed, will it be his turn to Tan Daoji next?
Tan Daoji knelt down on his knees at this time, kowtowed and said, "I have the guts to ask Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Xie Hui?"

Liu Yilong raised his eyebrows, "The general thinks, how should I deal with him?"

Tan Daoji kowtowed and said, "Xie Hui is an assistant minister of the three dynasties, and he came from the Xie clan of Chenjun. He has made military achievements for the court many times. I think the emperor should give Xie Hui a chance. If he is willing to surrender, I ask the emperor to give him a lighter sentence. "

Dao Yanzhi said disdainfully, "The emperor employs talents. So what if Xie Hui is from the Xie family in Chenjun? The clan has long since declined, so why should we be afraid? Remember, General Tan's first wife is the daughter of the Xie family? Xie Hui begged for mercy, but was he intentionally partial?"

Tan Daoji didn't care about Yanzhi's slander at all, he raised his head and said solemnly, "The minister and the Xie family have long since reconciled and have nothing to do with each other. Please let the emperor learn from you."

Liu Yilong raised his hand to stop what Yanzhi wanted to refute, and asked Tan Daoji, "The general said I should give Xie Hui a chance to surrender, so what if he doesn't?"

Tan Daoji cupped his fists, "I am willing to go to persuade Xie Hui to surrender. If Xie Hui insists on resisting, I will escort him back to Jiankang with my own hands, and wait for the emperor to deal with him."

Liu Yilong nodded, seemingly satisfied with Tan Daoji's answer. He said calmly, "Xie Hui formed a powerful navy in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. For this battle, the two generals will each lead [-] troops to fight against the enemy together."

Tan Daoji and Dao Yanzhi kowtowed at the same time to accept the order, "I obey the order."

——Boundary——

When Liu Yilong took advantage of the chaos in the north and took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, Tan Yaoyu also waited for two full days in Beiliang.

In the past two days, Juqu Mengxun wiped out everything inside and outside Zhangye.

Bewitched by the Zoroastrian Cult, the city guard general who deliberately turned a blind eye to the beacon smoke of the Horseshoe Temple, and the Huangmen servant who intercepted the military situation privately were all sentenced to death, and the disaster affected the nine clans.

Beiliang was in turmoil for a while, and countless officials were implicated in it.

Juqu Mengxun was a little scared, because preaching was banned in Beiliang, but he didn't expect that the Zoroastrianism would take advantage of the loopholes, and under his nose, he recruited several officials from the court and China to become believers.

If Jiang Gan hadn't gone to Zhangye first and killed the Zoroastrian seat who was in charge of leading the congregation, even if Juqu Mengxun returned to the palace safely, facing him would be a mutiny.

Two days is not enough time for interrogation and conviction, and Juqu Mengxun is completely unable to get away at this time.

But Guangwu's military situation is urgent, and there is no way to wait any longer.

After Juqu Mengxun regained control of the palace, the military newspapers were gradually sorted out.

The offender this time is the younger brother of the current Xia Dynasty Emperor, Pingyuan King Helian Ding.Although he only brought [-] horses with him, under the cover of Zoroastrianism and Western Qin, he arrived at Guangwu City without warning, catching the defenders by surprise.

Juqu Mengxun had no choice but to appoint a general to lead the troops to support Guangwu City first.

But Tan Yaoyu declined Juqu Mengxun's persuasion, and directly took his No. [-] man, following the first batch of Beiliang Army Pioneer Battalion, to Guangwu City.Sure enough, there were no obstacles along the way.

Yao Yu couldn't help but wonder, was it because of the power of Xingzhelou, or the coercion of the bamboo slips?
The Beiliang army marched almost day and night, just wanting to reach Guangwu City as soon as possible and rescue the people in the city.

Although Tan Yaoyu said that she believes that the master is not a ruthless person, she has no idea in her heart.Facing the Great Xia Army of [-] people, Master is just a kung fu fortune teller, can he still recruit heavenly soldiers and generals?
