Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1078
Unknowingly, Xianhe 12 years came to an end again.

The end of the new year is approaching, and naturally there are many occasions when I am keen to make a summary.However, looking back on this year, there is really nothing to praise, especially compared with the past 11 years of Xianhe, it is unavoidably frustrating.

The entire year of the 11th year of Xianhe can be said to be a year of great prosperity for Wang Ye. Several great victories in Jiangbei laid the overall tone for the revival of Jinzuo, regaining nearly a quarter of the world's territory, and almost the entire Central Plains returned to Under the rule of the king.

Although the slightly disharmonious event of the Hefei Mutiny also occurred near the end of the new year, on the whole, it was a year in which the national power was flourishing and the hearts of the people were invigorated. hope.

However, the 12th year of Xianhe was doomed to be disharmonious from the very beginning. The situation suddenly changed, and it returned to the party differences that had never been eliminated since the trip to the South. Disputes, everything seems to have returned to the original point, full of inexplicably familiar flavors.

Although there were many breakthroughs in side affairs this year, such as the second victory in Yecheng, the west attack on Ketong Pass, and even the Jingzhou Army went deep into Hanzhong and looked at Liangzhou.But these achievements are basically based on last year's big progress, and there are few groundbreaking feats.

And this year, the mainstream is power struggle, especially in the Jiankang center, there have been several major purges in succession, which made people in the current situation panic, fearing that they would be implicated in it.

Now that the New Year's Eve is approaching, many people of insight have discovered that the current situation is similar to that of the early days before the rebellion between Su and Zu.Although the confrontation and cooperation between the parties in the current situation are quite different, it gives people a very strong feeling of deja vu.

For ordinary people in the capital, although they can't see the high-level clouds and mist churning, they can also feel an invisible depression permeating above their heads.

The most obvious thing is that all kinds of prices in the capital are skyrocketing, and the usual bustling neighborhoods are gradually becoming quiet, especially in the southern part of the city from Changqianli to the south, where a large number of shops and mansions opened by Wu people are closing down. Going out of business, so that people fall into the embarrassing situation where they have money but can't buy goods.

Several large water and land ports around Gyeonggi, in previous years, were full of cargo ships waiting shoulder to shoulder to enter the capital, but this year, especially after the twelfth lunar month, the business atmosphere has also dropped to a freezing point, and often there are only three or five caravans in a whole day Arriving, the types of goods are also scarce and monotonous, compared to the huge market in the entire Jiankang City, it is just a drop in the bucket.

All these phenomena seem to imply to people that in some places they cannot see, there must be a raging and dangerous undercurrent brewing, which may erupt and wreak havoc on the world at any time.

As the highest center of power in the entire empire, the situation in Taicheng is also extremely tense.The empress dowager, who had already returned to the government, returned to the court to listen to the government again in a very sudden but unobtrusive way.This did not even cause much disturbance in Taiwan, as if the situation had developed to this point, this was an inevitable result.

Before that, Sikong Shen Chong rushed into the state city, which was regarded by many people as a signal, but many days passed after this incident, but there were no more intense incidents in the follow-up, and everything seemed to return to the original point.

After Shen Chong left Zhoucheng and returned to Dunan, he still maintained the old attitude of being absent from work for a long time.Taicheng is still indifferent to it, and various ceremonies approaching the end of the year are also being prepared and staged in an orderly manner.

But after all, there is still one difference, that is, the crowded and lively Shen Gongfang gradually became deserted, and people saw less and less members of the Shen family in their daily communication.

And inside the stage, the guards for many Taifus entering and leaving have also been greatly strengthened, including the protective force between the terraces and gardens, which has been secretly increased by more than a factor, and even the mausoleum guards stationed in the imperial mausoleum in the north of the city , They were also transferred back to Taiyuan in batches, and stayed in Gongwei.

In the last few days of the end of the year, several visitors from the east arrived in Padang, as far away as Jingzhou.

Badong is now where the Jingzhou army gathers, and the governor Yu Yi personally sits here.Three waves of envoys entered his big tent one after another, delivering letters from Jiankang.

One of these is the Zhengzhao, who was added as a servant because of his achievements in conquering Hanzhong, and Jia Yubao advocated that the addition of twelve subordinates was a strengthening of Yu Yi's power.

In addition to these edicts, there is also a family letter from the empress dowager. In the letter, apart from some irrelevant reminiscences, a sentence is added at the end, hoping that Yu Yi will not forget to divide the important town of Shanxi to defend the country when he makes great achievements. important task.It was this unpredictable sentence that made Yu Yi's heart skip a beat, suspicious and terrified.

But soon the letters from Shen Chong and Chu Chong answered his doubts. The two told about his younger brother Yu Yi's recent abnormal behavior from different perspectives, and also let Yu Yi understand that he was in Badong. When supervising Hanzhong, what happened in Kinki, and what did his brothers do.

"This idiot, this idiot... actually dares to put my family in turmoil again!"

After reading these letters from Jiankang, Yu Yi felt his hands and feet were quite cold, and even a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Originally, he thought that Yu Bing and Yu Yi who stayed in Kinki would inevitably be out of balance, so there was a commotion in daily life, and he had written many letters to advise him before, saying that his family was not suitable for dancing in the middle, and he also asked Yu Yi for help. He made a promise that once Hanzhong's military made breakthroughs, he would be called in as his deputy, Captain Nanman.

Yu Yi also understands that he does not possess the prestige of his eldest brother Yu Liang in the hearts of his brothers. For example, Yu Bing expressed his dissatisfaction with his decision to withdraw from the center several times, feeling that it was a complete waste of the relationship between his family and the empress dowager. intimate relationship.Yu Yi, on the other hand, was dissatisfied with his over-reliance on the Shen family, as well as his connivance with the tyrants of the local clan and Tao Kan's old tribe in Jingzhou, and he was unable to gain complete dominance for a long time.

However, he didn't expect that it was just a little awkwardness between the brothers, and the two of them dared to hide it from him and even put it into practice, and Shi Liu had already seen it!

"Stupid, stupid!"

Yu Yi was so emotional that he didn't even know what to say to express his inner indignation.At the same time, through the three letters from the Empress Dowager, Shen Chong, and Chu Chong, Yu Yi also saw that the three most important people in the current situation had different attitudes towards this.

The empress dowager warned him to look back a little bit, no doubt, this is to reintroduce the mother's family to the center.This point is easy to understand. In the past year, several officials in power have carried out a large-scale cleansing of the Taiwan. Shen Chong, who was supposed to be a great hidden danger in the eyes of the empress dowager, was completely helpless in the process. This made the empress dowager feel threatened.

Therefore, although the mother's family has old and bad, the empress dowager can only let go of the old grievances when facing the aggressive Taiwan assistants who disrupted her deployment, hoping to introduce a new force to check and balance.It is conceivable that Yu Yi dared to make plans, probably because of the empress dowager's acquiescence and even the instruction.

But even if the empress dowager is willing to let go of the old grievances, Yu Yi dare not.He knows how severe and contentious the situation in the central center is. His family committed a catastrophe that nearly destroyed the country in the early years. It seems to have subsided now, and few people mention it again, but that is because the Yu family no longer stands in the central center. When Yu Yi and the others return, attacks from all sides will definitely flood in.

The Empress Dowager and Yu Yi may have thought that with Yu Yi's position in Jingzhou, they might be able to achieve a situation where the internal and external echoes.But Yu Yi has to consider that once Yu's family returns to the central situation, those attacks that turn over the old scores may even directly shake his position in Jingzhou and force him to feel ashamed to resign!
The best result of this matter is naturally to achieve the best of both worlds, but the greater chance is to lose both inside and outside.Even if Yu Yi doesn't care about power and position, once he is kicked out from Jingzhou, his family will never have the chance to pay for their crimes with meritorious deeds, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever as a treacherous and powerful image!

Chu Chong's letter expressed exactly this meaning, and he even bluntly stated in the letter that although he was happy to see the Yu family return to the joint control situation, he was worried that he would not be able to control the criticism of Shilun.This is called a reminder, but in fact it is not a warning. If Yu Yi does not stop his brothers' nonsense, Taichung will definitely fight back!
As for Shen Chong's letter, although there was no such meaning, it wrote something that made Yu Yi even more angry, that is, Yu Yi actually conspired with Wang Yunzhi and did the evil thing of kidnapping innocent people in Wu Township!
This incident made Yu Yi so angry that his seven orifices were full of smoke, not to mention the impact on the relationship between Shen and Yu, what kind of good would Wang Yunzhi alone be?You must know that Shen Chong and Yu Yi cooperated to force Wang Shu's death back then. This is a real revenge for killing his father!

Whether it is for revenge or for power and position, it is impossible for Wang Yunzhi to reach any close and indiscriminate cooperation with the Yu family.Yu Yi actually colluded with the old enemy's sect for the sake of power and position, and instead offended his capable ally who pulled their Yu family out of the sinking quagmire. This kind of behavior can be described as "stupid"!

Moreover, what makes Yu Yi even more angry is that Shen Weizhou has made it clear that all western affairs will be paid to the Yu family, and he will never adjust Jingzhou's strategy before conquering Chenghan. Put it in front of Yu Yi.

Although this still depends on Yu Yi and the Jingzhou army's own struggle, Shen Weizhou's Huainan army is keeping out the remaining troubles, and Yu Yi only needs to concentrate on planning to attack Shu.

It happened that this year, the situation in central Shu was not stable. The Li clan of Chenghan Dynasty killed each other, and the cruelty was especially the rebellion of the Zongwang of the Central Dynasty.Not long ago, Hanwang Li Shou, who was originally in charge of Hanzhong, counterattacked Chengdu to take the throne, and the situation was turbulent.

This is an excellent opportunity to attack Chenghan. Even if you can't go straight to Chengdu, you still need to break the barriers of Hanzhong. How can Yu Yi give up the good opportunity to hunt for achievements and instead participate in the internal friction that is impossible to have any good results? !
　This piece of clues is too messy, I was a bit stuck last night, and I will make up more today. . .By the way, ask for a recommendation ticket in the new week. . .
