"Once Ruru returns to the grassland, Mi Zhen will have no worries, and the next one to deal with will definitely be us!" After deciding to compromise, Rong Suihe's envoy went back to resume his life confidently, but the Chang'an court was filled with misery and mist. .
The ministers who allied themselves with Meng Guiyu said, "He has an affair with the three major frontier armies, but we only have most of the forbidden army in our hands, and we have to guard against Tao Tie's remnants among them... So, is the future hopeless?"
This was obviously to ask Meng Guiyu to come up with a charter to reassure them.
If you can't get it out...
They were able to quickly seek refuge with Meng Guiyu back then, but now they might not be able to quickly turn around and please Rong Suihe, right
"The East Palace can no longer be empty!" Meng Guiyu said with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty these days, he only cares about his own life and dreams, and does not care about the life and death of the government and the public! It is said that the king treats his ministers like dirt, but the ministers regard you as a bandit. Even if your Majesty He is the most justifiable master in the world, but how many people in the world still fear him and bow at his feet willingly?!"
After taking a breath, he said, "Besides, Your Majesty is not interested in world affairs now, and even the imperial court has no idea... In this situation, even if a new king is replaced by a young and ignorant king, what difference will there be?"
My ministers, you look at me and I look at you. After a while, someone came out and said: "Master Marquis, your Majesty is ignoring the affairs of the government now, which is really disappointing. It's just that it was just when your Majesty had no children. Now the palace and the Empress Zhaoyi is always pregnant... However, even Empress Zhaoyi, who is the first to be pregnant, is still several months away from giving birth? And Ruru's withdrawal is imminent!"
No one has any objections to the method of establishing a crown prince, or even replacing him with a little emperor.
Because Emperor Xuan Jing is just a decoration at the moment. He just finds someone to sit on the throne to show off, and he doesn't do anything practical. Aren't such a fatuous and confused old emperor the same as the ignorant little emperor
Especially since the old emperor's reputation was so bad, it would be no trouble at all to change him... This kind of enemy country is about to attack the city of Chang'an, and he still summons his concubines all day long to drink and get drunk. Everyone can understand sudden death and so on. It's simply Very understanding.
Not to mention the ministers, after thirty years of waste, no matter how much blessings Xuan Jing has squandered for so many years, how much is left
Even the people of the world no longer have any attachment to the old emperor, and they are even a little intolerable.
Under such circumstances, Rong Suihe, who had defeated Ruru one after another, had a high reputation, was of royal blood, and was recognized as a young and promising person... Even though some people must have complained about his usurpation, it was not enough to keep Emperor Xuan Jing. Imperial throne.
So Meng Guiyu was anxious to ask Emperor Xuanjing to step down and replace him with a new emperor.
Although in order to take care of his own interests, this new king must not be too old, and he must not have any political achievements that can control the situation and can compete with Rong Suihe. But the new king has never given any benefits to the people, at least he is not like Emperor Xuan Jing, who cheated the people!
And being young can win sympathy.
Nothing is better than letting Emperor Xuan Jing continue in this position.
But whether this method is good or not, the problem is that neither Queen Meng nor Shu Zhaoyi can be pregnant in a short time.
Throughout the ages, there have been examples of infants ascending to the throne, but there has never been any talk of letting an unborn child take the throne, right
If these two are happy, it's hard to give Emperor Xuan Jing an heir before these two give birth, right
The situation in Ruru Kingdom has made them unwilling to stay in Damu any longer.
Before they completely withdrew from Damu, if Meng Guiyu didn't set a few traps and dig a few holes for Rong Suihe, he wouldn't worry about it himself, and his men would have to leave first!
"During this period of war, the Empress and Empress Zhaoyi must have been greatly frightened?" After a group of people looked at each other for a moment, someone gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and asked tentatively.
"Even so, the Empress and Empress Zhaoyi are protected by Rong's Fuzuo, so they should be safe and sound." He tactfully reminded that it would be better to simply let the Empress and Zhaoyi have a miscarriage, so as to remove the obstacles to quickly establishing a reserve, which was met with a cold response. A reminder: Don’t forget that when Shu Zhaoyi and Empress Meng were informed of their pregnancy earlier, Meng Guiyu, in order to boost morale, kept saying that the pregnancy of these two concubines was a sign that God was protecting Damu and that Damu would be rewarded after all his hardships.
How many days has it been since these words were released
Now I'm going to slap myself in the face and tell everyone that both the Queen and Zhaoyi have had miscarriages.
Even if they don't consider the face of the imperial court, they still have to consider the problem that Princess Sheng Weiqiao of Mizhen County's "noble son Yibei" has already come true: the prophecy related to Rong Suihe has become a fact, but the good omen of Emperor Xuanjing's concubine has turned into a tragedy. Isn't this Isn't it a clear indication that God has abandoned Emperor Xuanjing and favored the young Prince Mi Zhen instead? !
In this case, the last bit of use value of Emperor Xuanjing will disappear.
For those who currently have no way of confronting Rong Suihe without using this cover, how can they not be frightened
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
While Chang'an was worried and unable to do anything, Rong Suihe had already started frequent exchanges with Na Fuzhen: At this moment, Na Fu really didn't want to have any contact with him, but he couldn't stand Meng Guiyu's failure. , the dispute over the temple has never been over Rong Suihe.
Not only was Damu's treasury not allowed to send benefits to Ruru, Rong Suihe even chose himself as the candidate for the peace talks.
At this moment, Rong Suihe bluntly showed off his cards to Na Fuzhen: Of course Na Fuzhen could directly negotiate with Chang'an, but Rong Suihe would not admit anything he talked to Chang'an!
And Na Fuzhen's biggest headache for Damu was Rong Suihe. He had no intention of returning to the grassland unless Rong Suihe was dealt with. Even though he was so angry that he cut down several cases, he finally compromised bitterly.
After the top leaders of both sides decided to meet, one was happy and the other was very unhappy, a quarrel over the meeting place ensued.
Na Fuzhen said that since Rong Suihe was so actively involved in the peace talks, in order to show his sincerity, he might as well go to Ruru's military camp to negotiate;
Rong Suihe is not a fool, he is very brave, how could he do such a thing and throw himself into a trap
He immediately said that because of his positive attitude, both Ruru and Damu noticed it, so why did he need to show any sincerity at this moment? It’s time for Ruru to express her sincerity and let Na Fuzhen and a group of senior officials come to the Xijiang Army camp to speak together!
After arguing like this for a few days, another news came from the grassland, saying that Atuo didn't know where... ah no, everyone knew that it was 100% that Calm Suihe had obtained a group of sophisticated crossbows to arm his men and launched a sneak attack. The Monalou family of the Yue family in Nafuzhen.
Although the Monalou family did not follow in the footsteps of the Chaowo tribe, they still suffered heavy losses.
At the same time, there is also spy information, that is, Tuluti's tribe, Tulu Neighbors, is worried about the king's account, and is currently tending to turn to Atuo.
Nafu Zhen was so angry that he almost went crazy and cursed Meng Guiyu for being such a waste: "Atuo is not outstanding among the children under Dengchen Liyu at all! Even when Dengchen Liyu transferred his most beloved children before his death, he was not at all It’s not his fault!”
"This time he rebelled, his initial manpower was just the few guards given to him by Riyu Totatsu when he was still there... Just such a thing, with Mi Zhen's support behind the scenes, can create such a movement!"
"Meng Guiyu, as a descendant of the Meng family, took advantage of the Meng family's death to gather together the Meng family's decades of hard work. The Queen Mother and the Empresses can support each other in the palace!"
"With such a good condition, he actually didn't put any pressure on Mi Zhen, asking Mi Zhen to interfere wholeheartedly in our Yujiulu family's family affairs... How did such an incompetent person get into a high position?!"
"Isn't it true that all the people in the Great Mu Chaotang are dead?!"
Despite the scolding, Na Fuzhen also knew that in the final analysis it was not Atuo who was great, but that he was eager to eradicate Rong Suihe as soon as he ascended the throne, and went on a personal expedition before he could secure the throne.
If there had not been a change in the king's account, with the troops he had left in the country and the regency under the joint efforts of the Kohe Dunmonaro family and the eldest prince, Atuo and his like might not have had a chance.
But Rong Suihe killed Mona Lou, the eldest prince was tied up, and the royal guards suffered heavy casualties... In this situation, what do Atuo and others have to fear
After venting his anger, Na Fuzhen sighed, frowned and continued to talk to Rong Suihe's envoy patiently.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, which was to arrange their troops and horses to confront each other in the wilderness outside Xiazhou City. Na Fuzhen and Rong Suihe each brought only their personal guards to meet in front of the two armies.
After the agreement was reached, subordinates from both sides raised a question: "If we take the opportunity to kill someone... what are the chances of success?"
The people on Fuzhen's side were immediately poured cold water on him: "Mi Zhen's origin is no longer a secret. He lived in a bandit den when he was young and fought his way out on his own... Now he is in his prime, but I am old enough to be his grandfather." That’s enough, what do you think?”
The subordinates said sarcastically: "How dare you let Khan do it himself? This is not us..."
"You don't want me to take action, will Mi Zhen agree?" Na Fuzhen sneered, "When the time comes, you will both protect me and try to assassinate him; where are his men? I'm afraid there is no need to protect him at all, just let him do it! "
The confidant was worried: "Then Khan should not go, right? What if Mi Zhen takes the opportunity to kill..."
"It's not because Na Fuzhen has evil intentions, otherwise we can't touch him now." However, Rong Suihe shook his head and said, "Of course, after killing Na Fuzhen, Ruru will definitely be in chaos. But to be honest, just With the combined strength of the Western and Northern armies, they are still no match for Ruru's overwhelming army."
"It's useless even if the Southern Xinjiang Army comes over!"
"After all, our cavalry is too small, and compared to them, it is not elite enough."
"Ruru can fight if she wants to, and leave if she doesn't want to... We don't have such convenience."
"At that time, it is impossible to say that they will lead us away by the nose!"
"Chang'an is full of hostility towards us. Now they are taking advantage of the peace talks to attack Na Fuzhen. Isn't this a ready opportunity for Meng Guiyu to slander us?"
"So if Na Fuzhen is not looking for death, we should have a good talk with him!"
"Let's not do anything. Mi Zhen doesn't dare to touch me now, at least he doesn't dare to touch me in public." Na Fuzhen was also aware of Rong Suihe's considerations and reassured everyone, "So we don't even have to bring swords with us. , just try to find a way to have a verbal argument with him!”
The two parties had a tacit understanding, and on the appointed day, they braved the wind and snow to go to the place to meet.
