Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 151 Zhao Yu: Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!

Three thousand fine cavalry escorted Zhao Yu all the way north along the official road.

Zhao Yu, who was surrounded by Zhang Xiu and Wang Xiongdan, was riding on a tall horse, thinking about the pros and cons of leading his army to suppress the rebellion.

He led his army to personally conquer the Miao territory, quelled the Miao rebellion, and defeated the Burmese army, proving his military capabilities.

Appointing Du Yu to join the army and assisting General Guan Haocang in annihilating the main force of the Qi navy in one fell swoop proved his ability to recognize and employ people.

With these two points, his emperor's prestige in the military can even surpass that of veterans such as Guan Haocang and Qu Zhen.

Under the Chu State's policy of advocating culture and suppressing military force, the situation of military generals was far more difficult than that of civilian officials. If Chu State were not surrounded by powerful enemies, military bosses such as Guan Haocang, the general of the auxiliary state, and the Dinghai Shenzhen, would inevitably be under the influence of civilian officials. Suppress and exclude.

As the emperor, the actions he made this time were enough to show his attitude to these veterans in the army, causing them to gradually shift from neutrality to support him.

With the help of these two points, he can firmly hold the military power in his hands and become the emperor in the true sense.

In addition to fully controlling the military power, another major gain of Zhao Yu's trip was to completely win over the hearts and minds of the Miao people and force the Five Immortals Sect to express its stance, making this Miao sect completely surrender to Chu.

Qin Liangyu, the female general, was the greeting gift taught to her by the Five Immortals.

Although her commanding ability is difficult to rank among the top [-] in Chinese history, she is still an extremely good commander.

What's more, the elite soldiers trained by Qin Liangyu are worthy of being called special arms.

Zhang Xiu said frankly that if he were to ride alone and be surrounded by a thousand elite soldiers with white poles, even if he wanted to break out, he would have to go through a lot of troubles, and he might even be in danger of falling if he was not careful.

But Qin Liangyu's next arrangements gave Zhao Yu quite a headache.

The preference for boys over girls is prevalent in all countries, and very few women join the army, let alone become generals.

If he insists on letting Qin Liangyu join the army despite the opposition of his ministers, there will be constant turmoil in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu finally came up with a compromise. After returning to Beijing, he asked her, a little girl, to train a group of female soldiers first to protect the safety of the concubines in the harem.

After the ministers gradually get used to it and Qin Liangyu has made great achievements, it will not be too late to arrange for her to join the capital as a general.

By that time, the officials would have no reason to stop him.

Zhao Yu thought so in his heart.

"Damn the weather!"

Wang Xiongdan wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his eyes to look at the big fireball hanging in the sky, and muttered curses.

It's just past May, and the temperature is already five or six degrees higher than that of the same month last year. It's so hot that people are questioning life, as if it's summer.

Zhao Yu took the towel handed by Qin Liangyu and gave her a grateful look. He wiped his face carelessly, and his mood became heavy. He looked at Wang Xiongdan who had taken off his pocket and sighed.

"Looking at the weather, life may not be easy for ordinary people this year."

All the way north from Jiaxing Prefecture, south of the Jianing River is fine. Since crossing the Jianing River, the further north we go, the more the drought becomes visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the gradually drying up fields on both sides of the official road, as well as the shocking cracks on the fields, and the pieces of crusty skin on the surface, Zhao Yu's joy of returning to the court in victory gradually dissipated.

He specifically sought out old farmers to ask questions, and found out that north of the Jianing River, there had not been a drop of rain for a month since April.

When crossing the Jianing River, Zhao Yu also discovered that the water level of the Jianing River was indeed very low, so low that a large area of ​​the river bed was exposed.

Although there are some water diversion tools such as waterwheels driven by human or animal power on the riverside, these waterwheels belong to the wealthy and powerful, and they can only divert water to fields closer to the riverside, which are slightly farther away. For some, there is no choice but to rely on manpower or animal power, carried on shoulders and hands, but the amount of water that can be transported in this way is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for large tracts of fields.

Spring drought! !
Zhao Yu looked at the dry and cracked fields, his mood was extremely bad.

He could already imagine how heavy a blow it would be to farmers who lacked the ability to withstand disasters when a severe drought came.

Man-made disasters can be solved, and natural disasters come again. These eight words not only describe the present, but also represent the best portrayal of Dachu in the past 30 years.

As the Son of Heaven, he is worshiped by all people, so he should help them solve their problems.

Fortunately, the national treasury is abundant, and some things can be arranged on the schedule in advance.

Zhao Yu retracted his thoughts and looked at the city that was faintly visible in the distance.

Shenjing is coming.

"Who are you that dare to stop the army?"

Suddenly, a question from Zhang Xiu came from the front army.

"Han Tinghuang, a member of the Yin Yang family, asks to see the Emperor of Chu!"

A deep and rich voice came into Zhao Yu's ears.

Yin Yang home?
Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

There are records about the Yin Yang family in the royal family's secret vault.

When the former Han Dynasty lost its deer, all the heroes came together, and hundreds of other schools including the Yin and Yang family also entered the game, which was called "Lun Dao".

During this period, the princes supported by the Yin-Yang family were defeated by the Sima family supported by the Taoist family.

After the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, Taizu Qiu of the Jin Kingdom settled the accounts, and the Yin Yang family was forced to make an oath. Unless the Jin Kingdom Zuo was exhausted, the disciples of the Yin Yang family would not be allowed to go to Yunwu Mountain for the rest of their lives, and they would not compete with Taoists for secular beliefs.

For more than two hundred years, the Yin Yang family basically disappeared from public view.

But he never thought that the Yin Yang family would send a disciple to contact him at this time. Could it be that he was preparing to come out of the mountain again?
This Yin Yang family never leaves Yunwu Mountain all year round, but they can know their journey back to the capital, which shows that they are not without backup in the secular world.

Zhao Yu's thoughts changed rapidly and he raised his voice:

"Youwei, let those members of the Yin Yang family come to see me!"

Soon, accompanied by Zhang Xiu, a man wearing a black Taoist robe came to Zhao Yu.

"Han Tinghuang, a common man, has met His Majesty."

Looking at the man in front of him, Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Although the clothes worn by the other person are Taoist robes like those of Taoists, Taoists advocate tranquility and inaction, and the clothes are always simple, but the Taoist robes of this person are embroidered with gold and silver threads, and the sky is full of stars. It looks mysterious, but extremely luxurious.

Not only that, the cultivation level of this member of the Yin Yang family even made Zhao Yu, who was a ninth-grade master, a little confused.

Apart from the factors of skill, the most likely possibility is that the other party is in the ninth-grade grandmaster realm just like me!
Zhao Yu secretly used his skills to be on guard and asked calmly:

"I wonder what Mr. Han wants to do when he travels thousands of miles, goes down to the Yunwu Mountains, and crosses the Canglong River to see me?"

"The common people came here to relieve His Majesty's difficulties."

As soon as Han Tinghuang said these words, Zhao Yu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Mr. Han, as a disciple of the Yin Yang family, when did you learn the methods of the political sect and make false threats? If I am really in trouble as Mr. said, I also believe that I will be united with all the ministers in the court and all the people of Chu. Together we can break this predicament! Sir, it’s better to get straight to the point and explain your intention. I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you here.” Zhao Yu’s words were filled with confidence.

I don’t know when these Yin Yang family disciples learned the bad habits of the Strategist family!
It's a pity that I will never tolerate them!

Just because, now it is not you who is asking for help from others, but the other party!

Seeing that the young emperor in front of him didn't follow his own example, Han Tinghuang's face froze, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Although he knew Zhao Yu's character through various channels in advance and had some understanding of him, but now when he faced him directly, he found that the emperor of Chu refused to give in on certain issues, and even had a tough attitude, which surprised him. .

Just thinking that he was shouldering the important responsibility of his master, Han Tinghuang could only sigh in his heart. He was under the eaves and had to bow his head before he frankly admitted his mistake.

"Your Majesty's determination is so strong that Cao Min did not expect it. It was our Yin Yang family who underestimated Your Majesty. Cao Min apologized to His Majesty on behalf of our master to show our sincerity."

Zhao Yu curled his lips, not bothering to investigate the other party's secret change of concept, and waited quietly for what this member of the Yin Yang family would say.

"I, a disciple of the Yin Yang family, would like to serve Your Majesty for Da Chu. All I want is to spread the Taoism within Da Chu."

"can."

Zhao Yu didn't hesitate at all and said the word concisely and concisely.

"Don't say it's your Yin Yang family. As long as you have talents, I will naturally accept them with open arms. But I have something to say first. If the disciples of your Yin Yang family cannot abide by the laws of our Da Chu and act recklessly, I will not leave any room for the master of the Yin family. Love deserves punishment and killing, don't say it was unforeseen!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu agreed so simply and neatly. Han Tinghuang showed surprise on his face, but he also heard the warning in Zhao Yu's mouth and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. If any of my disciples fall down and violate the laws of Dachu, even if Your Majesty does not take action, my Yin Yang family will take action to clean up the family."

Zhao Yu glanced at Han Tinghuang meaningfully, then nodded and said:
"In that case, please ask Mr. Han to return to Beijing with me and discuss the matter with the ministers in the DPRK."

As an emperor, he is only responsible for making decisions on general directions and important matters. As for specific matters, he leaves them to the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China.

Soon, three thousand flying bear troops were on the road again, but there was an additional member of the Yin Yang family in the team.

……

On the bank of Canglong River, Jiangnan Camp.

Kan Leng walked into the camp, hugged Fan Zhen and said in a low voice: "General Fan is looking for me, Lao Kan, but the Jin people fought across the river?"

Fan Zhen heard this and said:

"Although the Jin army has a tendency to gather in Jiangbei, there is no movement southward yet."

When Kan Leng heard this, his old face suddenly pulled down and he muttered:

"What a bunch of gutless cowards!"

Seeing Kan Leng's unwilling expression, Fan Zhen secretly smiled in his heart.

This guy thought that by coming to the Jiangnan camp with him, he would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Who would have thought that Jin and Chu would be at peace for the time being, but Qi in the west suddenly launched a sneak attack, and Guan Zhenguo and Du Yuankai were His Majesty reminded him that he had made preparations early and used his tricks to almost annihilate all the Qi navy. Wei Wenchang even crossed the river and went north, conquering several cities and setting fire to the racecourse, making people in the north of the river uneasy.

Seeing that brothers Du Yu, Wei Yan, and He Ba, who entered the court later than him, had made great contributions, and even Wang Xiongdan, who was close to him, followed his majesty and won a great victory in southern Xinjiang, Kan Leng had such a strong temper. How could he feel in his heart? Can you feel better?
It is rare to occasionally mumble and complain in front of other people.

Resenting one's superiors is not the way to be a minister.

It's just that this guy has a simple mind. With His Majesty's broad mind, he won't be too blamed.

Fan Zhen smiled and said:
"General Kan, there is news from the cabinet in Beijing that the State of Qi has asked the State of Jin to help it negotiate peace with our country. The State of Jin has gathered troops and horses in the north of the Yangtze River precisely to put pressure on Your Majesty and the civil and military forces of North Korea and China, and to make preparations for the peace talks. Foreshadowing. Just now, news came from the scouts in the middle of the river that Jin has sent envoys south. I want General Kan Leng to escort the Jin envoys to Shenjing City. I wonder what the general wants?"

Kan Leng heard this and immediately shouted:

"How many benefits has the Qi State given to the Jin State, so that the emperor of the Jin State is willing to mediate for it? Doing this really brings the face of the Qi State monarchs and ministers to shame! I don't want to escort these filthy Jin people. Woolen cloth!"

Just knew this guy would say that!

Fan Zhen subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little tiredly:

"General Kan, the reason why General Fang and I asked you to escort us this time is because besides the Jin envoy, there are people who want to see His Majesty. You and General Wang Xiongdan are old acquaintances, and you can speak in front of His Majesty. , so the two of us can only make you have a hard time."

"Oh? There is someone else who wants to see Your Majesty, who is it?"

Kan Leng asked subconsciously.

"It's the old man."

When the voice sounded, an old man wearing ocher clothes and with a pale face came out of the screen behind Fan Zhen.

"Master Tian?"

Seeing the man's face, Kan Leng froze on the spot.

After he came to Jiangnan Camp, he met the old man several times, so he naturally knew his identity.

The great son of this generation of the Mo family.

Not only that, he also learned some old news from Fan Zhen and other former subordinates of Taihe King Huang Jingming.

It was this powerful son of the Mohist family who made King Taihe, who had all the power at that time, decide to push His Majesty, who was still a Marquis, to the throne of emperor.

If this is the case, then there is still a layer of cause and effect between Tian Weisheng and His Majesty.

However, when Kan Leng saw Tian Weisheng's body that was as skinny as a tree, his expression couldn't help but change.

"Master Tian, ​​can your body support this journey of hard work?"

"I have run out of gas, so I can only ask the general to let my useless disciple go to Shenjing with the general. As for whether he can be summoned by His Majesty, it only depends on God's will..."

After Tian Weisheng said these words, he was about to salute Kan Leng tremblingly.

"I will leave it to the general to decide the fate of our Mo family in the future."

Kan Leng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly moved aside.

"The only one who can make the decision in this matter is the Holy One. The only thing the boy can do is to bring the master craftsman's apprentice to the city of God. The rest depends on the Holy One's will."

"If the general can do this, I will be extremely grateful."

Seeing Kan Leng agree, the last worry in Tian Weisheng's heart completely dissipated.

The Mohist Rangers used to take refuge in Huang Jingming, and they were too deeply bound to each other.

Now that Huang Jingming has long been overthrown, it is time for the Ranger faction to find another way out.

In order not to arouse the resentment of the young emperor, he had no choice but to make this move.

As for the outcome, we can only see whether God's will will end their sect's inheritance...
