At times like this, He Mulan was very depressed about the underdevelopment of information.
In this era, if you want to block something, you really can't spread it.
The country has changed and the crown prince has changed positions. The dust has often settled, and Fang began to have news outside, not to mention that Juqu Mengxun died at the right time, Juqu Bodhi was not found, and Juqu Mujian was Juqumeng. The eldest of all the surviving sons of Xun, supported by officials of the Jiuquan School and Dunhuang School, did not need to waste any effort to ascend to the throne.
Empress dowagers of many countries can do politics, but this does not mean that Queen Meng can, because she is not Juqu Mujian's biological mother, it is okay for Juqu Mujian to respect her, but if she wants to do anything else, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Queen Meng was originally a good chess move, but now it has become a waste of chess.
The envoy from Beiliang was very polite when he came. Not only was he willing to send a large army to escort the Wei envoy back to China, but he was also willing to send other princesses and relatives again. In order to express Beiliang's submission, Juqu Mujian was even willing to divorce the current concubine Li Jingai and marry the princess of Wei as the queen, waiting for the arrival of Wei.
This is not only to repair the rift between the two countries, but also Juqu Muqian's last resort. Li Jingai was born in the royal family of Nanliang, but his adultery with his widowed sister-in-law has already made the immigrants from Xiliang very dissatisfied, and there has been a crack in the relationship with Li Jingai. Juqu Mujian is a very practical person, and now he has ascended the throne. Then there is the obedient prince, the support of the immigrants from Xiliang becomes less important than the support of Wei State.
Beiliang's attitude was very sincere and humble. Apart from these conditions, Juqu Mujian was even willing to re-establish the eldest son born by him and Li Jingai as the heir and send it to Wei as a pledge to show that Beiliang would never The determination to betray.
In this era, many people have finally had a child of their own, such as Tuoba Tao. After Tuoba Huang, they dared to go abroad with peace of mind, and the change of the country would not be interrupted.
Juqu Mujian now has only one son, Juqu, the son of Li Jingai who was born to the altar, and was willing to send his only son as a pledge, which made the envoys very moved.
"I can't wait to put my wings on my body now, and go back to Beijing to ask Gu Shizong and Cui Taichang what to do." The envoys had no idea and only felt a headache.
"Should we continue to befriend Beiliang, return to Guzang and hand over Queen Meng to the Beiliang court, and change to a princess to continue to come back and kiss, or do we just stand still and wait for the imperial certificate to arrive?"
Several envoys felt that their brains were not enough.
"It seems that going to Guzang now is the best way?"
The conditions proposed by Beiliang are too generous, and it is hard not to be moved.
"I tend to wait and see, and stabilize the Beiliang court first." Liu Zhen expressed a different opinion. "Juqu Mujian suddenly ascended the throne, and he must be afraid of the forces of Queen Meng's faction, but because of the disappearance of Bodhi and the pressure of the accident in our country, the throne cannot be left vacant, and it is so easy to ascend to the throne. Their domestic There must be many objections, and Juqu Muqian's succession to the throne must also be approved by our country, His Majesty's conferment has been granted to Bei Liang, and he is the rightful king of Liang."
Beiliang is a subject state of Wei State, so the new king's succession must be made by Tuoba Tao's imperial edict.
"Although he has ascended the throne now, he has not solved the domestic crisis. Because of the accident in the diplomatic mission, our country has a great opinion on the Liang Kingdom. At this time, he must get the support of our country, so he sent the princess again and asked for it again. After accepting the princess of our country, and even willing to send protons, all of them want to get the conferment of His Majesty to block the mouth of the domestic opposition..."
Yuan Fang and Liu Zhen have similar opinions.
"Now we have taken the initiative. Why don't we hold off first and see how Bei Liang reacts. As soon as he ascends the throne, the credentials will be sent to Pingcheng, and there will be envoys coming from Pingcheng. We might as well wait for domestic news to hold our troops for the time being. Queen Meng doesn't have to hand it over to them either."
He Mulan listened to the opinions of the envoys and nodded clearly.
"I understand, now Juqu Mujian wants to hold us, worried that something will happen to us, so let's delay it."
She didn't want to give Juqu Muqian so easily.
"Now we have too little information. What's going on in Guzang? Queen Meng's departure from Guzang seems to have caused a lot of shock, and where is Juqu Bodhi now..."
Her words caused silence, and there was no other way. After leaving Guzang, Liu Zhen lost contact with Guzang's egret official, and the traffic in the desert was inconvenient. Although this oasis was very large, it did not form a market. It's a hassle to get the message out.
If they didn't want to take out all the treasures of Fengcheng and bring them back, they would have abandoned this oasis closest to Fengcheng and returned to Qinhan City.
Their guess was good, and the messenger of Bei Liang was also very anxious.
Juqu Mujian ascended the throne under enormous pressure. At least half of the ministers and military generals in Guzang City did not attend his enthronement ceremony, and did not even attend the court, and did not stay behind closed doors.
Juqu Bodhi just disappeared, and the Meng family's army dispatched troops to rescue with Queen Meng. Many people believed that Queen Meng would bring her son back to the country to succeed her. Prince, once Juqu Bodhi returns, many people will turn their backs.
It is because of this situation that many courtiers in Beiliang are reluctant to stand in line. Even if Juqu Mujian ascends the throne, it will be useless for Wei to not confer the title. Now that they support Juqu Mujian, in the future, Wei will seal a new Liang. Wang, the time to settle accounts in the autumn queen is right in front of you.
Many people would rather take the risk of offending Juqu Muqian, wait and see for a while, and dare not surrender.
What's more, Juqu Mengxun's death was too strange. Such a "sudden death" really doesn't seem like it could happen to a cunning guy like Juqu Mengxun.
There are already rumors in China that Juqu Mujian secretly poisoned him. It is very likely that Juqu Mengxun's entourage was bribed by someone, and some people had poisoned their food.
Amid all kinds of rumors, denial, wait-and-see, and all kinds of persecution, although Juqu Muqian took the throne, he was still sitting on pins and needles. The officials of the Jiuquan faction and Dunhuang faction who supported him are waiting for him to reward him, get promoted and make a fortune, so as to repay their support, but this is the time when people need to be appeased the most. How could Juqu Mujian destroy the city wall? So many old ministers replaced with their own troops
He is trembling outside and walking on thin ice inside. Every day, important officials urge him to welcome Queen Meng back to find the missing Juqu Bodhi, but he knows that Queen Meng is very likely to take Juqu Bodhi and Juqu White Horse away from the world. , the requirements for them are inevitably a bit perfunctory, which makes these important ministers suspect that his throne is somewhat tricky.
Originally, Juqu Muqian thought that in half a year, Queen Meng and Bodhi would remain silent, so he would appease the Meng family and Queen Meng's original prince-sect veterans, and then make concerted efforts to develop national strength and befriend Liu Songhe on both sides. Wei State became the force in the three-legged confrontation. Who knew that at this time, the Meng family army suddenly rushed back to Guzang, saying that Queen Meng was captured by Wei State!
Not only was Queen Meng captured by Wei, but according to the soldiers who escaped from the Meng family, Prince Juqu Bodhi was also in Wei's hands, and was captured by Wei's Hu Ben army from the horse thieves!
Juqu Mu Qian spurted out a mouthful of blood on the throne.
The Meng family insisted that the horse thieves wanted to take the prince Juqu Bodhi for ransom from Queen Meng. Queen Meng led the Meng family army to suppress the bandits, but they encountered the Hu Ben army who were fighting the horse thieves. After turning back the horse thieves and taking back the prince, and Queen Meng also wanted to take back the prince, there was a misunderstanding between the two parties. Queen Meng was captured and returned, and only the Meng family army was released.
This is completely different from what Queen Meng said before!
Queen Meng graciously told him that she will no longer appear in Beiliang, and she will go to the Western Regions with her children! For this reason, he even secretly told his confidants in Dunhuang, Zhangye and Jiuquan that if they encounter people who are suspected of Queen Meng, not only should they not be embarrassed, but also try to make it easier for them to leave the country as soon as possible.
Why did you go to Wei State now
All of a sudden, the whole aunt is boiling, Juqu Mengxun has not been buried yet, and Juqu Mujian has just ascended the throne a few days ago, and a group of veteran officials dispatched envoys in advance, wanting to go to the oasis to exchange Juqu Bodhi Prince and Meng Queen, support them back to the throne.
At this time, Juqu Mujian even wondered if he had fallen into the Meng family's pit. Juqu Mengxun would not have died so quickly, and there were indeed his hands and feet. Juqu Mengxun was not buried. Hua Mulan, who can "autopsy", comes back with Queen Meng, maybe he will have a reputation for "killing his father", and the throne will be ruined.
He finally ascended the throne, but he became a thorn in the eyes of many forces. Even Buddhism faintly condemned him for being too impatient, which made him extremely frightened.
In this case, Juqu Muqian had to take the suggestion of the prime minister Song Yao, and sent dead soldiers to kill the envoys sent by officials after Beiliang Yong, and then ordered the envoys to take the envoy Xingye on the road, first to find the envoy of Wei State The regiment, made a covenant in advance before the people of Wei knew about the domestic upheaval.
In order to prevent Queen Meng and the people of Wei from uniting together and returning to the country with Juqu Bodhi, Juqu Mujian even mobilized a heavy army to blockade the city west of Fengcheng, so that the few thousand soldiers and horses of Wei State could not escort the two back to the country. .
During this period of time, he has to seize all the time to stabilize Wei State, and then clean up the domestic mess, and may even break out a bloody storm. Only when the situation is stabilized will Wei State try to make trouble through Juqu Bodhi. , it's too late.
Juqu Mujian was worthy of being a heroic figure, and he was assisted by an old and cunning counselor like Song Yao. They all knew that the Wei mission was now deep in the desert, as if blind and deaf. They did not know the situation in Beiliang. He couldn't get Pingcheng's instructions within the time, so he could only hold his troops and wait for the next news.
What Juqu Mujian lacked was time. He needed time to mobilize troops, eliminate dissidents, raid his family, exterminate his clan, and win over old officials.
He was prepared to speculate everything, but he missed one person.
He led his private soldiers and the old Xianbei troops to Yuanpo Qiang in Dunhuang. After receiving the news of the accident of the Wei mission, he rushed to the vicinity of Fengcheng day and night. He brought a reliable and reliable army with him. Here comes the news that the Wei State Mission needs most now.
They passed through Guzang from Dunhuang, and on the way, they happened to meet Juqu Mengxun who died on the way, and Juqu Mujian was enthroned. Martial law was everywhere in the city of Guzang, and there were rumors everywhere, and there was news that Juqu Bodhi's son was still alive. According to the rumors, the chiefs, governors, and local military chiefs of various states are all eager to move, watching from side to side.
Yuan Po Qiang was a wanderer in the first half of his life, and it had a lot to do with Juqu Mengxun's attack on Nanliang and occupying Aunt. Treasure, arrange everything immediately, and go to the Hu Ben army to meet with Hua Mulan.

"You mean, Juqu Mujian's seat is not stable at all? As soon as Queen Meng and Juqu Bodhi return to China, there will be generals from all over the country who will support Juqu Bodhi? Why?" He Mulan looked at Yuan in confusion. Po Qiang, "Isn't it cheaper to support Juqu Mujian?"
"Because Buddhism intervened. King Liang had been worshipping Buddhism for a long time, and before his death, he had entrusted Buddhism to help find Juqu Bodhi. Buddhism believed that Juqu Mengxun should be interested in Juqu Bodhi's succession, so he made such a request, Juqu Bodhi. Since he is not dead, Buddhism will keep his promise and protect the prince."
Yuan Po Qiang lowered his voice.
"But I think it should be some kind of covenant between His Majesty and the Buddhists of Bei Liang..."
Almost everyone in Beiliang believed in Buddhism, and Buddhists went to the residences of dignitaries and nobles, and even many nobles kept monks in their residences. These monks are proficient in a lot of knowledge. In the desolate place of Beiliang, many people can be regarded as high morals. Once Buddhists persuade generals from all over the world to protect Bodhi, it will be more effective than anyone's words.
"Your Majesty... Hey, isn't this scheming with a tiger?" He Mulan shook her head, "Then according to General Yuan, are we going to send Queen Meng back now? The Prince Bodhi in our hands is fake, and only Queen Meng really knows. Where."
"We cannot intervene in this matter. If we directly send out a large army to let Juqu Bodhi return to fight for the throne, then all Bei Liang people will think that we are taking the opportunity to attack Bei Liang and destroy the country of Liang. Even those who support Juqu Bodhi will not be able to. They will also turn their backs to support Juqu Mujian. We can only find a way to intervene in this matter, but at most we are borrowing soldiers."
Yuan Po Qiang's face was extremely cautious.
"I have traveled all the way, and there are heavy troops along the town. With only two or three thousand of us, even if we want to support Juqu Bodhi's ascension to the throne, we will not be able to send back my aunt. We can only support Juqu Bodhi in recruiting troops and horses. , and then kill Bei Liang to take the throne again."
"Recruiting troops to buy horses?"
The Wei envoys looked at each other in dismay.
"Is... is this appropriate?"
"Nominally, they are Queen Meng's men, but they are actually the people we recruited. The first thing to do is to take out the money from Fengcheng, and then send envoys in the name of Queen Meng, and use heavy money and Wei's power to bribe Shakyong. General of the town, I believe that Fomen will contact us soon, and this matter can be entrusted to Fomen…”
Yuan Po Qiang had already made a very clear plan on his way here.
"Juqu Muqian wants to divorce his wife and marry the princess of Wei. The immigrants from Xiliang in Dunhuang are already very dissatisfied, and there are many local lords that the Meng family has made good friends with. They can bribe them with money. I came back from Dunhuang this time. , I have retrieved a sum of gold that Nan Liang hid in Dunhuang, which is just right to use it."
Yuan Po Qiang was not afraid of spending money, anyway, how much he spent, Tuoba Tao would not treat him badly, the Beiliang royal family had gold, and this place produced gold.
"In this way, it will be cheaper for Juqu Bodhi and Queen Meng."
Na Luo Hun was a little dissatisfied, "My Hu Ben army has died so many good sons..."
"This debt, we will calculate it."
Yuan Po Qiang looked up at He Mulan.
"It is false to escort Queen Meng and Juqu Bodhi, but it is true to take this opportunity to attack Guzang. As long as Guzang is taken down, Bodhi abdicates and incorporates Liang State into Wei State, just like Helian Ding's offering to Western Qin. You can get Beiliang peacefully, and you don't even need to send troops to expedition..."
"I'm waiting for the unforgettable merits, just in front of me!"
