The king behind the empress

Chapter 357

Xu Boyuan sent out most of Han Qu's personal guards, while appeasing the soldiers of the frontier army, he secretly dealt with those who incited trouble, or those who had the ability to stir up trouble but did nothing at all.

Dozens of elite soldiers were ordered to be killed by Xu Boyuan in this short period of time. Although this eliminated hidden dangers in the army, it also made the rest of the generals in the army look at Xu Boyuan. increasingly repulsive.

And when Xu Boyuan started to attack, Han Qu had just come to Wei Huang's tent to meet Mo Zizai and Wei Huang.

"Fengzhou Mansion is guarding Han Qu, and he has met the prince and Marshal Wei."

"Han Shuai doesn't need to be too polite."

Mo Zizai was not too polite with Han Qu, he waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "I don't like to go around in circles, so I asked directly."

"This king wants to know, when Han Shuai comes back this time, does he want to come back to protect Da Zhou, or does he want to come back and stand up for my fourth uncle?"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Han Qu, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again. He bowed his hands to Mo Zizai and said, "My lord, I am a minister of the Great Zhou, not a minister of the King of Bei'an."

"I'm going back to Beijing this time, but I will never say anything else based on the order of the prince."

"Okay, since Han Shuai said so, the king will believe it."

Mo Zizai nodded, expressing his trust in Han Qu, and then said: "However, the command of the frontier army must not stay with Han Shuai. I hope Han Shuai can understand."

"I will understand at the end."

Han Qu was already prepared for this, so he had no objection, but if the eunuch who announced the decree hadn't mentioned it before, he might have to ask himself if he can still go to the battlefield now.

But now that he knows that Mo Zizai may still use himself, he is not in a hurry. Just like what the eunuch Xuanzhi said, Mo Zizai has no one to use now. When you can trust yourself, you will be able to get out of the mountain naturally, and there is no need to rush for a while.

Seeing that Han Qu was so knowledgeable, Mo Zizai felt a little satisfied, and said, "But Shuai Han, don't worry, my king's transfer of you to the commander of the five armies is not for you to retire."

"I will split the frontier army, half of which will be merged into the Habayashi Army, and the other half will still be under your command. In addition to the five thousand frontier troops under your command, I will transfer you five thousand from the Habayashi Army." Elite."

"So, generally speaking, you still have 1 soldiers under your command, but you have mixed in [-] soldiers from the Yulin Army. What do you think?"

Originally, Mo Zizai planned to lead the 1 people by himself, but as a general, it would be too wasteful for Han Qu to stay in the capital with Wei Huang to defend the city, so Mo Zizai thought for a while, and he simply handed over the 1 people. Leave it to Han Qu.

With the five thousand Yulin army mixed in, plus his own accelerator, he will definitely arrange for these frontier troops in the future. It doesn't matter whether Han Qu really comes back to help the capital by then.

Because Mo Zizai, who completely controlled the frontier army, said he was sincere, so he could only be sincere.

On the other hand, Han Qu was very surprised. He was ready to sit on the bench for a while at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. He didn't expect that Mo Zizai would dare to return the command of the army to him now, although not all of them were given to him. The command power of the frontier army, but five thousand is not a lot.

Even if Mo Zizai transferred five thousand Habayashi soldiers, those Habayashi soldiers were all his nominal subordinates. If he really wanted to do something, those Habayashi soldiers would not be able to stop him at all.

So when Mo Zizai did this, whether he employed people without suspicion, or simply because he had no brains... I didn't think too much about it.

It's just that I don't have two minds after all, and Mo Zizai's arrangement like this is a good thing for me, so Han Qu didn't say much, and thanked Mo Zizai: "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely spend my last time for Da Zhou. A drop of blood."

"That's not necessary."

Mo Zizai shook his head, and said something that left Han Qu dumbstruck, "If the situation really reaches the point where you need to bleed, then there is probably nothing to save Da Zhou."

Han Qu was a little afraid to answer what he said, so he could only skip this topic and discuss with Mo Zizai about the division of the frontier army. However, after they chatted for a while, Zhou Qi suddenly walked in and whispered beside Mo Zizai said a word.

Although Zhou Qi spoke in a low voice, he did not carry Han Qu behind his back, so Han Qu also heard what Zhou Qi said, and when he heard that there was a traitor under his command and someone was planning to make trouble, he couldn't help standing up abruptly .

"This is impossible."

Han Qu clenched his fists tightly, looked at Zhou Qi in disbelief, and said, "There is absolutely no way I have a traitor under my command."

"Han Shuai, don't worry, Yu Zhisi's information will never go wrong."

Mo Zizai comforted Han Qu and said, "So we'll talk about these things later. Han Shuai should go back and comfort his generals first."

"Thank you, my lord."

Han Qu didn't care to say much, and after saluting, he hurriedly led people back to his residence.

……

Han Qu, who rushed back in a hurry, opened Xu Boyuan's door curtain. When he saw Wen Da lying on the ground, he was very anxious and suddenly calmed down.

When all the generals saw Han Qu rushing back, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Shuai Han."

Han Qu ignored them, sat directly on the main seat, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's Wen Da?"

"It's been confirmed."

Seeing Han Qu's return, Xu Boyuan felt a lot more relaxed, and replied, "He admitted it himself, and King Yu instructed him to do so."

"King Yu, King Yu Mo Fan..."

Han Qu was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, "Okay, I, Han Qu, have written down this grudge."

"Han Shuai, Wen Da he..."

Qi Jiye wanted to ask Wen Da for a few words, but was interrupted by Han Qu, "Wen Da was assassinated and died, the assassin committed suicide on the spot, so let's leave it like this."

"Thank you Shuai Han."

Hearing what Han Qu said, Qi Jiye immediately bowed deeply to Han Qu. With Han Qu's words, the crime of Wen Da's traitor will be wiped out with Wen Da's death, and his family will not be implicated in any way. .

"You go out first."

Han Qu waved his hand and drove Qi Jiye and the others out. After they had all left, he asked Xu Boyuan wearily, "How many people were executed in total?"

Xu Boyuan was silent for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "Not counting Wen Da, there are 92 people in total."

"92 people, 92 people..."

Han Qu muttered to himself a little weakly, the so-called kindness does not command soldiers. After so many years as a garrison in Fengzhou Mansion, more than ten thousand soldiers died under his command, but like today, they died inexplicably on their own. It was the first time that soldiers were in the hands of men.

In this way, he felt a little resentful, but he didn't know how to vent it, he couldn't even blame Xu Boyuan for giving this order.

After all, Xu Boyuan didn't have time to send someone to notify him at that time, and based on the situation at that time, if Xu Boyuan hadn't decisively controlled Wenda, if Wenda had noticed something wrong in advance, then the Wanbian army might have been involved in meaningless During the battle, if it was then, more people would die in the frontier army.

And more importantly, only one Wen Da stood up at that time. Besides Wen Da, is there no one else?
Han Qu didn't want to think about these things, but he had to. After hesitating in his heart for a while, he finally let out a long breath and finally made a decision.

If you can't bear to check the people you bring out, then leave them to Wei Huang and let him check them out.

Didn't Mo Zizai say that he wanted to keep the [-] Frontier Army and give it to the [-] Yulin Army? That's just right, he took away a few of these generals who were absolutely reliable, and let Wei Huang handle the rest.

After he figured it out, Han Qu no longer struggled. He stood up and walked outside. When he was about to walk out of the big tent, he paused and said to Xu Boyuan in a deep voice, "You handled this matter very well. Well, you don't have to think about the rest, I'll take care of it."

"Thank you Shuai Han."

Xu Boyuan didn't pay much attention to it, but just thanked him lightly. After Han Qu left, he shook his head lightly. All the generals were rejecting him, including Xu Ning, who looked at him with a little wariness. It's impossible for Han Qu to handle this matter well.

Unless Han Qu can forcefully suppress all the generals, he will definitely not be safe as a lieutenant general.

But Xu Boyuan didn't take this matter to heart, he had expected this kind of result before he took action, so it's okay if this deputy general is not suitable.

……

After dealing with the affairs of General Han Qu and appeasing the soldiers, he went to see Mo Zizai again.

Although Yu Zhisi had information that there were some riots in Han Qu's army except for the traitors before, but the specific Yu Zhisi did not know. Now after hearing Han Qu's words, Mo Zizai could not help frowning.

"King Yu again?"

Mo Zizai and Zhou Qi looked at each other. When Zhou Qi went to find Yang Yanzhang before, he had caught some spies. After interrogation, those people confessed that the person behind it was King Yu.

King Yu is a member of the royal family, and his fief is in Xiangcheng. He is considered a relatively powerful prince.

It's just that strength is strength, but if he is the one who assassinated Tang Shuyu back then, Mo Zizai feels that he does not have that ability.

Coupled with the information from the capital, it is too easy to come, it makes people feel as if someone can deliver the news to the door, which makes Mo Zizai always feel unreal, so let's put it aside for now, Bing is not in a hurry deal with.

At this moment, when Han Qu said that the person behind the scenes this time was King Yu again, Mo Zizai immediately felt that something was wrong.

"My lord, I don't think King Yu should have done this."

Zhou Qi pondered for a while, and then said: "I thought about it for a long time later. Those spies I caught at that time must be under King Yu's command and there is nothing wrong."

"But when I started to arrest them, a group of people were particularly decisive, and they killed themselves directly. They were decisively different from those spies who were greedy for life and fear of death, so I wondered if they would be caught by me. Is it someone from King Yu, and the person who committed suicide is someone who was placed under King Yu?"

"You mean, someone took advantage of King Yu's subordinates and planted this matter on him?"

Mo Zizai thought for a while, and felt that this guess was not unreasonable, then slowly nodded and said: "It is reasonable to say that, but there must be something about King Yu, at least those people caught by you, Undoubtedly under King Yu's command."

"By exposing King Yu's subordinates when he came to Beijing, he also connected King Yu with the black hand behind the scenes."

Mo Zizai closed his eyes and sorted out the matter bit by bit, "After finding out that we were not fooled, he kept doing two things, taking advantage of the frontier army coming into the city, and wanted us to fight with the frontier army .”

"In this way, if there is a fight, it will be a great thing for him. Even if the plot fails and we find out, he will push the matter to King Yu's backhand, and it will have no effect on him. By the way, I can also give King Yu some eye drops."

"wrong……"

Thinking of this, Mo Zizai suddenly opened his eyes, "Since this person already knows that we have doubts about King Yu's identity, he will definitely not do such superfluous things again. This is not in line with his method."

"Knowing that revealing King Yu's identity again will only make us more suspicious, so why does he still do this?"

Mo Zizai frowned and thought for a while, when he tried to put his identity into King Yu's position, he suddenly became enlightened, and said in a very firm tone: "King Yu, it's going to be reversed."

"Want to rebel against King Yu?"

Zhou Qi and Wei Huang were stunned for a moment. They didn't care too much about King Yu's rebellion. After all, it's normal for anyone to rebel in this situation. But what they couldn't figure out was why Mo Zizai was so sure that King Yu would rebel. On the contrary?
"Ah."

Mo Zizai nodded, and said to the two of them: "These two incidents have something to do with King Yu. Now we suspect that someone is framing King Yu, but King Yu doesn't know."

"What do you think King Yu will do when he finds out that what happened here has something to do with him?"

Both Zhou Qi and Wei Huang are not stupid. Hearing what Mo Zizai said, he immediately reacted, "What does the lord mean, that the person behind the scenes wants to force King Yu?"

"Yes."

Mo Zizai first confirmed the guess of the two, and then said with a smile on his face: "Among the current vassal kings, apart from my fourth uncle, King Yu is the strongest."

"Does this mean that you want me to cut off all the influence of the clan first, and then follow the general trend to destroy my entire Mo family? It's really a good plan."

Hearing Mo Zizai's analysis, Wei Huang's face was a little gloomy. He took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed his hatred for the people behind the scenes, and then calmly asked Mo Zizai, "Then, Wang Ye, King Yu, let's turn around." Do you want to do it?"

"Of course you have to do it."

Mo Zizai said without hesitation: "I don't care whether he was plotted or instigated, as long as he dares to jump out and rebel, his head will be chopped off."

Forbearance is just for a better shot. In Mo Zizai's view, he will plow again sooner or later this big week.

Whether it's a feudal lord or an aristocratic family, they are all the targets he wants to attack. If this is the case, then there is no distinction between the front and the back. Whoever jumps out first will be crushed to death, and the first one to jump out will be crushed to death. , and then you can continue to kill.

This time there was no killing chickens to scare the monkeys. Yu Zhijun raised his sword and went out to kill people. Anyone who refused to accept it would be killed. No one dared to refuse until he was killed.

What aristocratic family, vassal lord, and great power, let him kill them all, and let them know that he is the biggest power in the world!
