A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 282 282 Duke Yun’s 3 Strategies

The Emperor Xianbei only glanced at General Wang who was carrying people off, and then returned to normal, with only his thin red lips slightly raised from his smooth mandible, which was as clean as white porcelain.

"I am very relieved that Zili is here. I am afraid that all my close followers will rush to the front of the battle, and no one will be left to guard the internal affairs of Chang'an."

Yu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "The magistrate issued a letter of appointment. I can stay if I want to. Besides, has your majesty forgotten that during the Battle of Luoyang, I was ordered to send a jade seal to King Fengling?"

In this context, when it comes to the Battle of Mangshan in Luoyang, Yuwen Huaibi had difficulty guessing the thoughts of the former consort and loyal minister and filial son of Empress Yuan at this time.

Therefore, he didn't even raise his eyes, pretending to be calm and indifferent and said:

"Zili is a smart person. Even if she gives her destiny to a chick that cannot yet fly, a wild goose that has strayed from the flock, she, a female class who cannot protect herself, will eventually be divided and eaten with her body and jade seal."

Yuwen Huaibi caught a glimpse of Yu Zili's hand holding the chess pieces suddenly became stiff. He felt secretly happy and hummed:
"And now that she has taken refuge with the brave and foolhardy King Lanling, she has become a mule and a horse to be driven by others. I am afraid that she will marry a husband and be her master. It is not as good as the freedom of an ordinary woman. What is the use of giving the jade seal to her?"

"Now that the female Emperor Wu of the Western Wei Dynasty has passed away, all the old troops in the previous dynasty have gone to the Lord. Now that I have to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, I will naturally assist you with all my heart. Before I came here, I heard that Your Majesty was trapped in the Qi Kingdom, and he had been there several times for the Yuan clan's female monarch. The two countries lost their composure before the battle, and I was worried that Your Majesty might become a coward, but now that I heard His Majesty’s remarks, I feel more worried.”

Since the two of them had a cold attitude toward each other and derogated the Yuan family's daughter who was an orphan from the previous dynasty, they reached a clear consensus and stopped talking.

Yu Wenzhi, who was standing behind the emperor's brother, watched the chess game for half an hour. At this time, seeing that the two of them stopped talking and focused on the elephant game, he found a stone bench to his brother's left and sat down. He was really tired from standing, so he respectfully The etiquette was also done well.

As soon as Yu Wenzhi heard the two men mentioning the female queen of the Yuan clan, the face of a girl in red suddenly appeared in his mind.

When we were hunting wolves in Mulan Mountain, the girl with the tear mole under her right eye and an evil look was really too arrogant and arrogant, but she pretended to be polite and easy-going, which was really hateful.

He couldn't help but joke: "A few days ago, I massacred Mulan City and killed the chickens to get the eggs. The Qi State cannot bear this breath and will definitely raise troops to retaliate. The queen who is dear to the emperor's heart will definitely wear armor and go into battle to avenge her family."

After hearing this, Lord Zhou's tone was as calm as before: "The female Lord has fallen for herself. What can I think of? She is just a married woman."

Yu Wenzhi was busy rubbing his hands aside, smiling evilly,
"Just waiting to lure the snake out of the cave to catch the turtle, if King Lanling is willing to let his woman go to the battlefield, he must be prepared to lose her. If the female monarch dares to pursue Nanyang, I will capture her alive in front of the battle, play with her, and make her helpless. Don’t let your face stay in Northern Qi any longer.”

After hearing this, Yuwen Huaibi did not raise his head.

"She is by no means discouraged by defeat. Defeat will not defeat her, it will only make her suffer repeated defeats. What I want is not to defeat her in front of the two countries, but to separate her from Northern Qi and let her recognize the emperor's talents. Don't stay under the command of a brave and foolhardy general for a long time. Tens of thousands of generals can still be retained, but you can't have two emperors. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The state of Qi will definitely not want to raise tigers to cause trouble, but a few people are willing to conquer the female tiger."

While talking and laughing, the emperor lost the next game, and Yu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly,
"Your Majesty does not need to praise your humble ministers like this. In the chess game, if your Majesty is absent-minded, he will lose everything. The same may be true in the battle."

"I am in the chess game, everything I see is foggy, and I still need to rely on Zili's golden sword strategy. Now I have powerful ministers in charge of the government, and there are Gao Qi, Yuan Huaxu, and Nanchen outside who are waiting for me. If Zili can be effective If your father is diligent in assisting the king, you can expect that one day the carp will jump over the dragon gate and you will be among the three elders and enjoy the imperial temple."

After hearing the emperor's cold and sincere tone, Yu Yi dared to salute even more sincerely:

"Zi Li is not talented. In the past, even the female queen of the Yuan Dynasty never jumped over the dragon gate. How could a humble minister dare to make a mistake? It's just that the young master of the previous dynasty colluded with the enemy country, which has become a serious problem. If we, the great Zhou Dynasty, do not disintegrate their alliance, they will be swallowed up by whales sooner or later. Fortunately, we passed through Fengling Ferry when we came here, and got three clever tips from Duke Wei Xiaokuan of Yun State, which can make Yuan Nujun abandon the Northern Qi Dynasty and switch to the Zhou Dynasty." His last sentence stirred up a thousand waves. He lowered his head to play with the chess pieces, thinking about what to do. Emperor Xianbei, who started the game, immediately raised his long eyelashes and phoenix eyes when he heard this, "Why?"

In the excitement, not only did His Majesty reveal his first slightly emotional tone in half an hour, but even the Duke of Wei, Yu Wenzhi, opened his eyes wide and said in surprise:
"Really or not? You counselors and generals like to make plans, are you really going to treat her like a fool?"

Even Yuwen Xiaobo, who was guarding the imperial army outside the pavilion, showed his head anxiously at this moment and said, "Mr. Anping, don't try to hide yourself anymore. We all know that you are here to offer suggestions."

Yu Yi then put down the long white jade chess piece between his fingers and said with a smile,
"As we all know, Emperor Zhaowu of the Western Wei Dynasty only had one daughter, and his original wife Dugu Lang Gun resurrected Yu. In the past, when Wei Gong was the governor of Jingxiang, he had a sworn relationship with Dugu Lang, the governor of Xinye County. He was called Lian Bi by Jingzhou officials, and it was passed down as a good story . Duke Wei is naturally familiar with the princess of the previous dynasty, and now that he sees his sworn brother’s daughter trapped in the enemy’s camp, he is naturally determined to rescue her and turn herself into the dark side.”

Yu Wen hummed and said, "Everyone knows Mr. Yun's selfish intentions. Don't let us help that lady gain power by offering advice."

Yuwen Huaibi, however, didn't take it seriously. He looked at his opponent Yu Zili with evil eyes and said, "Please Zili elaborate on your strategy."

Yu Yi was frightened by the sudden and sharp look from the emperor!Who in the DPRK said that the puppet emperor was weak and incompetent?Isn’t this quite self-defeating?

He was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but said:

"The first is estrangement. The one who leaped over the Dragon Gate at Fengling Ferry was the True Spirit Yuanjun. The one who gave the book to Hua Xu's Xuannv was the wife of King Lanling. Now even though we don't talk about the hen and chicken sitting in the morning, there is still a fear that the son and noble mother will die. There are no two masters in the country. Even if Lady Yuan has no intention of coveting Northern Qi, wouldn't the leader of Qi be jealous of King Lanling's great achievements? It only needs to be said that King Fengling conspired with his majesty to sneak into the Qi camp, and there are soldiers and letters as proof. Envoy Hu Lu Mingyue and King Lanling were suspicious of him."

Yuwen Huaibi lifted his long eyelashes, and his dark blue pupils flashed sharply, "I still remember that in the past, the Duke of Yun State cleverly used alienation to kill Duan and Niu."

"The second is to provide help in times of need. Nowadays, the Southern Dynasty is not something to be afraid of. There are only two countries in the world, the Northern Dynasty. Your Majesty occupies Nanyang, which is like the Red Cliff of Jingzhou in the first three kingdoms. King Lanling of the Northern Qi Dynasty can be regarded as a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, a general from Shandong, and the imperial capital of Guanzhong since ancient times! "

At this moment, Yu Zili's adviser's fault was revealed. He held the chess piece in his hand and pointed out in vain: "That Yuan Jixiao's mother is the direct royal family member of Emperor Zhaowu of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his father is his first wife, Dugu Ruyuan, and the Dugu family's ancestor is the Han Dynasty clan. He is close to the Liu family, so he is with the Yuan family who are promoting Chineseization... But now His Majesty is sitting in Guanzhong!"

Speaking of rising, the chess piece in Yu Zili's hand fell down for a while, and he wanted to point at the emperor opposite and talk loudly. After receiving a few pairs of cold and sharp eyes, he dropped a piece on the chessboard.

"Yuan Jixiao is like Liu Xuande who defeated Jiangling, and Jiangxi Shiwandashan is eyeing Yuxi, and is wreaking havoc here. If this battle fails, Yuan Jixiao will definitely occupy Nanyang, and open up the land between Shiwandashan and Jiangling. I am afraid it will be another Hou Liang. Therefore, if we want to unite with the Yuan Dynasty to resist Gao, we must first push the Gao family to expel Yuan Nujun, so that she will be disheartened, and your majesty will accept her with old feelings."

"Huh? I have become Cao Cao? Then the third strategy...why?"

"The third is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. The female monarch still has Hua Xu to retreat, but now the Tuoba tribe of Yuwen Fuling's mother clan has gathered in Dangxiang. Bai Lan and Hua Xu have been separated for a long time. Your Majesty can incite them to invade Hua Xu, and let the Great Zhou send troops to relieve it. The female monarch ordered her to go to Chang'an to receive the title. She was obviously respecting her as the king, but secretly she was holding him hostage."

Yuwen Huaibi held the chess piece with his long fingers. At this moment, he was stunned by the grand plan conceived by the adviser, and his thoughts were not on the chessboard at all.

Yu Zili, a loyal minister and filial son of the former dynasty who dared to bring the jade seal to Longmen in the past to present to the Crown Prince Huaxu, was now full of energy and taught him how to raise the little empress.

"As soon as Empress Huaxu comes, we will rebuild her mansion in the capital, inherit her father's title and honor, gather her family members, young and old, to surround her, use Chang'an's wealth and silk to weaken her aspirations, and charm her heart with your majesty's beauty, ahem... …It is actually His Majesty’s outer chamber, which makes him reluctant to think about Shu and turns him into a coward, and Hua Xu is also in the pocket of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
