Chapter 1263 You Jump

"I heard that the father-in-law has a grandson?"

In the hall, after discussing business matters, it was rare for the emperor to chat with his father-in-law cordially.

Yang Songcheng stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes! He is quite strong."

The emperor nodded, "Having more children and grandchildren is a good thing."

This is implying the king, your second son poisoned my second son... Chen Shen lowered his eyes slightly, thinking that Yang Songcheng's second son presided over the poisoning of King Wei, and turned around to kill King Wei Kill him, how will the account be settled?
The point is, King Wei is in custody, but Concubine Shu has run away.It is said that he went to northern Xinjiang.

Even in the emperor's city, it still took more than ten days to suppress the humiliation brought about by this matter.

Yang Songcheng said indifferently: "I heard that King Yue is ill?"

Since King Wei was detained in Jingtai, King Yue has become a favorite, and those who want to follow the dragon have lined up outside King Yue's mansion.But the king of Yue fell ill soon and didn't see any guests.

——You are the only son who can be used, you can kill him if you have the ability, the old man has nothing to say!
As for respecting the king, that's a joke, mud can't support a wall.

Everyone felt the undercurrent between the two.

Once the overall situation in Northern Xinjiang is settled, the emperor will rush to clean it up and take control of Northern Xinjiang.What he will do next, no one knows.

Suppress the aristocratic family!

In fact, what the emperor wanted to do was the same as what Emperor Wu did back then, they all wanted to suppress the powerful family.The difference is that Emperor Wu tried his best, but the emperor was fighting fiercely with the aristocratic family while stumbling them.

Now that the secret war between the two is starting, it is for the benefit of Northern Xinjiang in the future.

A servant came in, "Your Majesty, please see Zhao Yushi at Jingtai."

The emperor looked away from the head of state and nodded.

Zhao Sanfu came in, walking slowly.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Northern Xinjiang."

Urgent report is urgent report, you are so slow, where is the rush?

Everyone slandered.

Zhao Sanfu said slowly: "Urgent report from Northern Xinjiang, in September, the Shegu army will be dispatched..."

Yang Songcheng was startled, the emperor's beard-stroking hand stopped on his chin, Zhang Huan looked sideways at Zhao Sanfu, impatient to know the news.

"Both sides fight, and Shegu loses."

Zhao Sanfu's voice was very heavy.

The emperor's breath was short for a moment, "Did the Shegu people withdraw?"

Those mud that can't support the wall!

"The more than ten thousand people that the Shegu people relied on were almost all wiped out, and King Shegu was killed..."

Zhao Sanfu's voice became deeper and deeper, "The Northern Frontier Army destroyed Beicheng, and all the remaining Shegu people were wiped out... Shegu no longer exists."

After he finished speaking, he felt that the hall was unusually quiet, so he raised his head and glanced quickly.

The emperor looked calm, but he looked like a wooden statue.

Yang Songcheng smiled, but that smile looked fake no matter what.

Zheng Qi was panting silently, as if his body had been hollowed out.

Han Shitou clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed... This old dog was indeed the most loyal to the emperor.

His Majesty!

Han Shitou shouted in his heart: Your Majesty, Mr. Xiaolang has ruled the north, Your Majesty!The servant waited for many years, and finally waited for the day when the dark clouds in the sky were broken.

Bah!
With a loud noise, the emperor stood up, "It's gone!"

The desk was kicked to the ground by him, and a calligraphy and painting on it was scattered on the ground.This is a painting he made earlier, when the ministers came in the middle of the journey, the emperor and ministers talked about things casually.

The painting is of a dog sticking out its tongue as if panting.

Yang Songcheng came out of the main hall and said to Zheng Qi: "The person who told us, please be quiet recently."

"The head of the country is worried..." Zheng Qi glanced at the palace.

"The old man smells something ominous!" Yang Songcheng said.

"I hope Shi Zhongtang will still be in time." Zheng Qi's voice was full of gloating, "If he had arrived early, perhaps Northern Xinjiang would have already fallen by now."

"The old man is thinking, what will happen to him next!"

The abbot didn't say who, but he seemed to say it again.

……

"That wild dog!"

The emperor was roaring, "If it wasn't for me, he would be just a low-level general in the southern border army who was bullied. But he failed me!"

"Even if Shi Zhongtang leads the army to arrive in time, do you think the southern border army plus the Chang'an army may capture the northern border?"

The Supreme Emperor was sitting on the tiger skin, with a small table next to him, on which were fine wines and fruits that could not be seen by the outside world at this time of year.

"Why not?" the emperor said, "Yang Ni led an army of [-] to march, and there were only [-] defenders left in the northern border. The southern border army plus the Chang'an army, there is righteousness in the body, why not?"

The Supreme Emperor took a sip of fine wine, ate a mouthful of fruit, and sighed: "The unification of the north, this is something that all the emperors of the Tang Dynasty wanted to do, but they couldn't do it. Now it has been done by a courtier. It is a pity that the courtier You call it a traitor."

The emperor sneered, "I was thinking, that traitor must be full of ambition at this moment. But he needs an excuse."

"Excuse, it's never a problem." The Supreme Emperor stretched his hand into his chest and scratched a few times, coughing dryly, "You should think about one thing right now, how to stop the Northern Xinjiang army that is safe from future troubles."

"He never destroyed northern Xinjiang for righteousness, but to eliminate future troubles!" The emperor's eyes flashed sternly, "If it weren't for this, how could he stay in Ningxing when the Chang'an army entered Xingzhou? He is taking risks. But what's the value? When he is so adventurous? After much deliberation, only..."

"It's your oppression that made the army and the people of northern Xinjiang share the same hatred." The Supreme Emperor sighed, "I wanted to get rid of Pei Jiu back then, but I refused to persecute him. This is not giving people a reason. But you... just, your reputation is here It is estimated that the smell is already bad outside."

"You refused to persecute Pei Jiu, so you persecuted grandmother!" The emperor uncovered the scar of the Supreme Emperor, "That year I launched a palace coup, and my grandmother was lying in the palace with a serious illness. I took advantage of the situation. You go to see grandma that night , Said that Pei Jiu's temper was as fierce as fire, and worried that he would take risks."

The Supreme Emperor was silent.

The emperor's voice echoed in the hall, "You also said that you plan to have Pei Jiu's family taken down to threaten..."

"Because the children and grandchildren jointly launched the palace change, I think the last nostalgia my grandmother had for this world at that time was Jiangshan Sheji! If she was about to leave, the Tang Dynasty would be in chaos, and that would be to treat her as the emperor of a woman and rule the Great Tang Dynasty." Don's denial."

"If you threaten to take down Pei Jiu's family, Pei Jiu will definitely be furious if he finds out. Although no one can say for sure what can be done. But grandma still wrote a letter in hand, asking people to send it to northern Xinjiang immediately. That's how Pei Jiu came about. Nine times back to Chang'an, committing suicide outside the imperial city."

The Supreme Emperor suddenly smiled, "Later, you launched a palace change again, taking pictures of cats and tigers, threatening with my beloved beauty, and ordered me to write a letter in my hand to recall my love general."

"You and I, father and son, look exactly the same!" The emperor sneered.

"At least I still know shame!" The Supreme Emperor suddenly roared, "And you don't even want face."

The emperor was stunned, and then smiled: "You have been dying all these years, I thought you were heartbroken, but I didn't expect, hahahaha!"

The Supreme Emperor finished his glass of wine, and said coldly: "You still worry about when the Northern Xinjiang army will go south! Chang'an's guards are in Xingzhou, Guanzhong is empty..."

The emperor said coldly: "Yang Songcheng and others are training private troops, do you think I don't know about it? The guards in Chang'an are gone, but there are still troops loyal to me in the city. As long as I give an order, they can plow the courtyard and sweep the caves." .”

"When did you come here with such boldness?" The Supreme Emperor sneered: "For these years, you have been fighting with the aristocratic family, and the ancestors saw it, and they probably wanted to strangle you to death. Besides, if you have a knife and a gun Xiangxiang, aren't you worried about the upheaval of the country?"

The emperor shook his head.

"Jiangshan, what does it have to do with me?"

……

Just about to leave the hall, the emperor ordered: "Recall the guards of Chang'an, the sooner the better."

……

Zhou Zun was sick at home today.

In fact, since Chang'an's army set off, he had almost nothing to do in Zhongshu.

At first Zhou Zun persisted, but when he learned that Ning Xing was broken, he complained of illness.

Life at home was not easy, so Zhou Qin simply dropped the pick and left his mess to him.

For example, the practice of Ding Zhuang in the farm under the Zhou family.

"Ah Lang, Wang Douxiang is asking to see you," a steward reported.

"What is he doing here?" Zhou Zunlue thought for a while, "Recently, the Wang family has been fighting openly and secretly with the Chunyu family. Several mines of the Wang family have been sealed off, and there is a shortage of iron materials...Is this here to ask for help?"

"I invite you here first," Zhou Qin said.

Wang Douxiang came with a smile, "Duke Zhou looks good."

Zhou Qin and his son exchanged pleasantries with him, and then Wang Douxiang explained his reason for coming.

"The Chunyu family teamed up with Yang Songcheng to find an excuse to seal off the two mines of the Wang family. My brother asked people to mention this matter in the court, but the emperor was silent..." Wang Douxiang said: "Iron ore and ironware are now the foundation of the Wang family. The servant will help."

The Zhou family also had power in the court, and Zhou Zun himself was the Minister of Zhongshu. If he spoke to help the Wang family, Yang Songcheng and others would not be able to cover the sky with one hand.

However, there is nothing to do in vain.

The last time the Zhou family was besieged, Wang Douxiang brought the Wang family's elite to help at a critical moment. Afterwards, the Wang family asked the Zhou family to help, and helped the Wang family win an important position and a mine.

Knowing what Zhou Zun was thinking, Wang Douxiang said, "Everyone in the palace knows what they think about Mrs. Zhou. My brother said that Mrs. Wang is willing to protect five people for Mrs. Zhou when Tu Qiongdeng sees him."

These five people must be Zhou Qin's descendants.

This condition is somewhat empty. If that time comes, Zhou's own power will be able to keep his children and grandchildren away from Chang'an.

But this is also Wang's statement: Zhou's current situation, let's make some good friends!
Although this can't be said to add insult to injury, it also despises the Zhou family.

Zhou Zun felt slightly annoyed, but Zhou Qin smiled and said, "It's easy to say!"

Wang Douxiang cupped his hands, "That's it, thank you very much."

He then said goodbye.

"There is no need to be angry." Zhou Qin said: "The old man has reflected on many things in the past, and pondered over the morals of the world and the people's hearts. People tend to benefit, and Wang Douxiang gave him an illusory benefit, so I want to replace me, Mrs. Zhou, with all my strength to help him. It seems Rude, but isn't it a reminder?"

"He's implying that the Zhou family should take advantage of the opportunity to dispose of all of Chang'an's properties." Zhou Zun knew what Wang Douxiang meant, but this kind of behavior seemed to be taking advantage of the fire, which made him secretly dissatisfied.

"When you are down, even if you suffer a loss, don't shout loudly, it will only make people laugh."

Zhou Qin said: "What people like most is to watch others suffer. This is the case with the common people, and so is the family. The Wang family is already very friendly."

The steward came in again, and Zhou Zun said, "Why are there so many guests today?"

"Ah Lang, Wang Douxiang is asking to see you."

Zhou Qin and his son looked at each other, "What did this man do?"

"I tend to forget things when I'm old." Zhou Zun said with a smile.

"Are you making fun of the old man?" Zhou Qin blew his beard and stared.

Zhou Zun said: "This is the colorful clothes to entertain relatives."

The father and son made fun of each other, but in the eyes of the old servant beside him, they were enjoying themselves while suffering.He couldn't help sighing, "You fucking old dog!"

The old dog in the bird cage thought someone was calling him, so he barked a few times.

Wang Douxiang came again.

"But what did you forget?" Zhou Qin asked.

Wang Douxiang saluted, "Mr. Wang is willing to use three farms as a reward for the mine."

Could it be that this person is old and confused?

Zhou Qin and his son looked at each other again.

Wang Douxiang smiled wryly, "I'm not the kind of person who waits for profit and forgets righteousness, but... the news just came that Zhou's son-in-law, Yang Xuan, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, wiped out the Shegu tribe."

Zhou Qin and his son were stunned for a moment.

……

Those so-called strategists on paper in Chang'an are very fond of discussing the battle between the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Shegu Department recently.

According to their calculations, the Shegu people at least say that one is worth ten, and the northern border army suffered a lot of losses in the battle of destroying the Northern Liao Dynasty, with a maximum of [-] troops.[-] against Shegu's [-]... This battle is a loss no matter how you look at it!
Therefore, Chang'an restaurants and brothels are discussing the fate of Beijiang and Yang Xuan.

In a certain brothel, a strategist was talking about the battle situation to a group of prostitutes and friends in a room on the second floor.

"Chang'an's army is stationed in Xingzhou, and Yang Niding is restless, but the people of Shegu have won many battles and their morale is high. The outcome of this battle is self-evident. The old man is only worried about one thing..."

The strategist is a frequent visitor to the brothel, and the prostitutes are very familiar, someone smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, what is the secret? Could it be that he took the Rejuvenation Pill?"

Mr. Chen coughed dryly, "The old man is only worried about whether Yang Ni can escape."

Some of the prostitutes sighed, "Qin Guogong's poems are excellent, especially the line... Luohuaren is independent, and the swifts are flying together. It makes people feel sad, but the artistic conception is so beautiful that people get drunk without drinking. It's a pity..."

"What's the pity?" Mr. Chen said with a smile: "Many famous poems were written in captivity. Perhaps, we can hear more poems by him in the future."

"Mr. Chen's words are too harsh." The prostitute is an absolute fan of Yang Guogong, and she sneered, "What if Yang Guogong wins?"

Mr. Chen said calmly: "If he wins, I will jump out from the window on the second floor."

At this time, there was a commotion below, and then someone came up, with eager footsteps, and in the sound of thumping, he came to the door, saw Mr. Chen was there, and said: "Brother Chen, it's a big event."

Mr. Chen met this person and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is an urgent report from Northern Xinjiang, and it has just come out."

The visitor took a breather, and everyone was impatient, especially Mr. Chen, "Hurry up, but it's a big defeat?"

The visitor took a look at him, "In September, Duke Qin led the northern border army to fight against Shegu's [-] troops, defeating the Shegu tribe. King Ashi of Shegu died, and the Shegu tribe...has been wiped out."

The room was silent.

Until the prostitute shouted excitedly: "You dance!"
