The explosive news of the Mo family's rebellion almost caused a riot in the capital. wWw,QunabEN,Com
The rebellion, which was almost a farce, still makes people speculate. No one knows what happened here, but everyone knows that the Mo family is dead.
Unexpectedly, she committed suicide. Concubine Lian in the palace and the Queen Mother committed suicide. The eldest prince was sent to the imperial mausoleum and was not allowed to return to the capital for life. The power of the Mo family collapsed, and everyone was in danger.
The court suddenly became a meeting of criticism and struggle, and of course, the target was the dead Mu Zhiqi. Officials who had been part of the unpredictable faction wrote letters expressing their sincerity and begging the emperor for forgiveness.
Even so, every day we can see officials who were once intimidating, wailing, and then having their homes confiscated and executed.
The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense.
However, after this incident, some people fell down and others got up again.
Song Chuan became prime minister and Su Jing became deputy prime minister. Li Song was dismissed from office, and Zhao Gang was dismissed from office. This was considered a light punishment for these two people, which made them burst into tears of gratitude in the court.
The most noticeable thing is Su Jing. Not only did he retain his position as deputy prime minister, he also became minister of the Ministry of Education. No one knew about this reward, but Su Jing was originally from the emperor's side.
Especially after the court, Su Jing and Xiao Yueye walked together happily, arm in arm, which proved everything.
The fall of the Mo family will have an impact on Chao Gang, which is self-evident. Although Murong Liuyun was fully prepared, he was still affected. Lower-level officials cannot be supplemented in time, and it will take at least half a year for Chao Gang to return to normal.
The forces in the capital were reshuffled, and Zhang Dehai and Song Chuan became the real winners. But what's puzzling is that these two people don't seem to take the opportunity to expand their power or become at war with each other.
Just as the imperial court was busy preparing to regain its vitality, the war in the north finally began.
This time, the Meng Yuan Kingdom came with great force. An army of 500,000 people pressed down on the border and passed through Cangyun Mountain in one fell swoop. The border defense was in a hurry.
Murong Liuyun immediately issued an imperial edict, summoned troops and horses, and prepared to fight!
In the grassland between the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Murong Dynasty, the grass grows long and the orioles fly. The lush green grass sways gently with the wind. The gusts of wind blew up the smell of earth and the blood of the bones beneath the grassland.
This plain has always been a easing zone in the war between the two countries. In this land, I don’t know how many heroic souls are buried fighting for their homeland. The soil of the land is dark red. Some people say that it is stained with the blood of soldiers from both countries.
The two countries are at war with each other, and small-scale conflicts are occurring one after another. The soldiers and horses of the two countries faced each other across this plain. Everyone was waiting and preparing. Because once we set foot on this plain, the war will really break out.
In the early morning, it was very foggy.
On the quiet plain, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Looking through the fog, two vague figures were riding towards the center.
Falling off their horses, the two men stood face to face.
The wind blew gently, and the sunshine became gentler and gentler, trying to dispel the fog.
Xiao Yueye was dressed in military uniform, looked at the man opposite him quietly, and suddenly laughed: "Brother Yelu, long time no see."
Standing opposite him was the new Great Khan of the Meng Yuan Kingdom, Yelu Changying.
Yelu Changying also laughed and stretched out his palm: "Brother Xiao, we haven't seen each other for four years, right?"
"Yes, four years have passed by, and brother Yelu has become the leader of a country." Xiao Yueye also stretched out his palm, and the two of them struck each other.
Yelu Changying took a deep look at him: "Brother Xiao is still like a dragon that never sees its tail. Every move you make affects the direction of the entire Murong Dynasty. Brother Yu, I don't dare to look down on you!"
Xiao Yueye touched her nose and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am an idle person, and my biggest dream every day is to accompany my wife and entertain my children. Brother Yelu, on the other hand, is very busy fighting on the battlefield and expanding the country!"
"Haha, brother Xiao, you and I both know the purpose of each other's coming today, so it's better not to say such nonsense. Come to think of it, this is really fate. The last time we met, it was also on this plain."
Xiao Yueye squatted down, touched a handful of soil, and sighed: "Yes, that time, you and I, as representatives of the two countries, ended the war. I don't know if this is possible this time."
Yelu Changying was silent for a while, then sat casually on the grass: "Brother Xiao, there are many things in life that you cannot control yourself."
"Brother Yelu, do you remember the covenant you and I made here?" Xiao Yueye asked lightly.
Yelu Changying laughed softly: "Of course I remember."
. . . . . .
"You are right. But if I can sweat profusely, at least in my lifetime, I will end these wars! As for after I die, I will only have a cup of loess, why should I care about it? Maybe my heir will also Have the same idea as me."
"Brother Xiao, I just want to ask you, if you can help me realize this dream in the future, will you help me?"
"If I haven't been killed by you, I will help you as long as I don't harm Murong Dynasty!"
"Hook?"
"Hook!"
. . . . . .
The vows that seemed like child's play back then echoed in the hearts of the two people again.
"You said back then that you hated war. You said that if you ascend the throne of Khan, you will definitely end the war and let the people of the two countries live and work in peace and contentment. But today, your cavalry set foot on the land of my Murong Dynasty and trampled on me People of the Murong Dynasty, is this what you call the end of the war?" There was a hint of chill in Xiao Yueye's tone.
Yelu Changying sighed softly: "Brother Xiao, I told you back then that the people in your country are used to houses and sedan chairs, and we are used to tents and horsebacks. Do you still remember this?"
"Um."
"Then you should know that last year we had a severe drought in the Mongolian Kingdom, and hundreds of thousands of our people died. If we did not invade through war, the people of our country would not be able to survive. And I, the Great Khan, am afraid that I will also be dragged away. Get off your horse. So, I have to start a war."
Xiao Yueye pondered for a moment, then flicked the soil far away: "Once there is a natural disaster, we will start a war. What is the difference between the Meng Yuan Kingdom and bandits? What's more, although our country has been in turmoil this year, it is by no means at the mercy of others. Senior. How confident do you think you can be in this battle?"
"Forty percent." Yelu Changying smiled bitterly: "I can basically foresee the defeat of our country. But, with the arrow on the string, I have to."
"I really can't understand. Since the country already has insufficient money and food, why should we waste it on war?"
Yelu Changying looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "You just said, how are we different from bandits? Indeed, to a certain extent, our country is like bandits. When there is no food and when we cannot live, we What I think about is not how to avoid it or how to reclaim the land, but how to rob it. People who oppose me in the country hope to gain food through war. How long can these short-sighted guys last? "
"Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Yueye sighed.
"The war must be fought. No matter what the outcome is, I will truly control the country's situation." A cold light flashed in Yelu Changying's eyes. This war is also an opportunity for him. An opportunity to destroy domestic opposition forces.
Xiao Yueye lowered her eyes gently: "Although you had an advantage in the early stage, but now that my army has rushed to the battlefield, you will not stand a chance."
"Not necessarily!" Yelu Changying chuckled, with a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "I, General Yelu Menggu De, is strong and brave, and uses troops like a god. He is my capable subordinate. If he takes action, your Murong Dynasty may not be able to win. ”
Xiao Yueye smiled faintly: "This time, I did not take action against the veterans Xiao Qian and Zhang Dehai. Instead, my brother Song Hu was appointed as the coach. His military potential is like a fish meeting water."
The two looked at each other and could see the confidence and sparkle in each other's eyes.
Yelu Changying raised the corner of his mouth and pointed at the grassland: "Brother Xiao, we said back then that this land is not heroic, but desolate. You and I are determined to end the war and give the people of the two countries an environment to live and work in peace and contentment. . Then, this wish begins with this war.”
He turned to look at Xiao Yueye and said seriously: "I, Yelu Changying, swear to God that no matter what the outcome of this war is, I will never invade the border within ten years. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth."
Xiao Yueye looked at him deeply: "Ten years?"
"Yes, what I can guarantee now is only ten years. But after ten years, if I can still control Meng Yuan Kingdom, I can promise another ten years." Yelu Changying said solemnly.
Xiao Yueye smiled softly: "We, the Murong Dynasty, are a country of etiquette. Since the founding of the country, we have never taken the initiative to raise troops to violate the prohibition. As long as you, the Meng Yuan Kingdom, are determined to end the war, we will welcome you."
He paused: "After the war is over, I will personally donate 1.5 million taels of silver to you to help you stabilize the domestic situation. I hope you can keep your promise."
Yelu Changying was delighted: "Brother Xiao, are you serious?"
Xiao Yueye nodded, turned around and mounted his horse.
Yelu Changying looked at his back and asked in a loud voice: "Brother Xiao, why do you want to help me?"
"I said four years ago that we are both enemies and confidants. In this world, it is hard to find a general, and it is even harder to find a confidant's enemy. I hope you will not disappoint me. Come on!"
