Chapter 279 The Real Murderer
When Liu Tangrui and Wei Liantong heard that King Xuan predicted that King Yu would attack Yanzhou, their eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
No wonder His Highness just asked Zhang Xuanfeng to guard it for a month.
Liu Tangrui said excitedly: "If King Yu attacks Yanzhou, then the Yanzhou Alliance in Qingzhou will inevitably return to Yanzhou to defend."
Wei Liantong continued: "In this way, Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan cannot be opponents of the imperial army without the powerful ally of the Yanzhou Alliance.
In order to prevent the imperial army from taking over Qingzhou and blocking all the roads in Zhaozhou, Chu Junxiong had to send troops to support Chu Junyan and the others. "
Except for Yang Kui, everyone present had some knowledge and quickly thought of this point.
Then their pressure will be drastically reduced!
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Zhang Xuanfeng's eyes moved slightly, with a smile on his face but at the same time he felt a huge pressure coming on his heart.
King Yu's victory over the Liangzhou Alliance was enough to change the war situation in the five southwest states of the Yu Dynasty.
Chu Junxiong will also guess what King Yu is thinking, so he will deal with them as soon as possible before King Yu attacks Yanzhou...
For a moment, Zhang Xuanfeng's eyes became extremely sharp.
In addition to these counselors and generals, the leaders of the major forces such as Yang Hong, the leader of the Yang family, and Cangyu leader of the Danzhou Alliance were also here. When they heard the news that King Yu had captured the Liangzhou Alliance and was about to attack Yanzhou, several people expressed their opinions. Looking at it, everyone showed a happy look.
The alliance between these two states is so pitiful~
The Liangzhou Alliance forces were directly destroyed.
The Yanzhou Alliance is still attacking the imperial army, and their home is about to be stolen again!
I had to rush back without stopping, but got nothing, wasted so much energy, and was played by several princes.
Tsk tsk!
How pitiful these rebel forces are.
You said you had nothing to do, why did you rebel? Did His Majesty Emperor Yu deliberately lure you out to exercise the talents of the princes?
Then the long-standing internal troubles of the Yu Dynasty can be eliminated, and stability can be achieved for hundreds of years.
well!
Fortunately they are smart!
Especially the leader of Cangyu, he was very happy in his heart. He felt that there was no hope of rebellion halfway and turned to join Prince Xuan.
"You know the reason why the king asked you to guard the defensive city and not leave. In order to raid Yanzhou as soon as possible, King Yu will send a large army to Yanzhou in a month at most. At that time, one attack will affect the states and the national government. It is very likely to fall into a war on two or even three sides.”
"My subordinate understands!"
Everyone responded in unison and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Xingyu saw everyone's reassuring expressions, a faint smile appeared on his face, but his eyes were somewhat meaningful.
"Okay, you go down and prepare the defenses of the city gates." King Xuan saw that the confidence of the generals had returned, so he asked these people to retreat first.
"yes!"
All the generals received the order in unison and bowed to leave.
Soon, only Prince Xuan and Lu Xingyu were left in the lobby.
Prince Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and kept looking in the direction of Kyoto. His narrow eyes were radiant, revealing infinite wisdom and edge.
"They did a great job in Kyoto!"
Lu Xingyu lowered his head and said:
"Your Highness, Emperor Yao is in coma. Lin Shufan, Lu Xun and other ministers who have chosen to join Emperor Yao will not let King Heng control the court. They can only use the eldest princess to compete with King Heng."
Lu Xingyu raised his head and showed a hint of worry:
“But will they really agree to our request to send troops?
If King Heng and the eldest princess don’t agree, then wouldn’t we..."
Before Lu Xingyu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Prince Xuan. His eyes were bright and full of confidence:
"Don't worry, I also chose Gu's stupid aunt. She has always had huge ambitions. Now she is only one step away from her ambitious goal. She will help Gu!"
"Inform Zhao Yan that he has gained the trust of his aunt and it is time for him to take action!"
"yes!"
King Xuan slowly turned around, and the aura on his body fluctuated. The huge coercion was like thousands of rocks and ravines, and mountains and obstacles were pressing down on him in all directions.
All the guards far outside the lobby sensed this extremely majestic aura and lowered their heads unconsciously, like ants facing the gods in the sky, trembling all over, but their eyes were filled with admiration!
This is their king!
Prince Xuan’s firm and domineering voice sounded throughout the lobby:
"Gu said... Gu not only wants to defeat Chu Junxiong, but also conquer Fang Wukui!"
……………………
In Kyoto, Emperor Yao has been in coma for five days. It is said that Queen Lin and Concubine Lu have been kneeling in the imperial ancestral temple for three days, but the ancestor of the imperial family still has not taken action.
Due to the situation in various states, the court affairs were no longer busy, and Li Yao did not want to go to court early every day, so starting from last month, he went to court once every ten days.
Tomorrow is the tenth day.
In the palace of the eldest princess, people were coming and going in the past few days, and it was very lively.
At this time, Li Mujun, who was sitting on the throne, had felt unprecedentedly happy in the past few days. Many families in Kyoto came to visit him. Many ministers were polite when they saw him. In particular, Prime Minister Lin came to the palace to greet him yesterday. When talking about some court affairs, I felt that she was the main one.
"Zhao Yan, what's going on with Li Heng?"
Even though Li Mujun was extremely satisfied, he did not forget Li Heng's existence.
"King Heng still stays behind closed doors, but there are also many people who come to visit. King Heng does not reject anyone who comes." Zhao Yan spoke from below.
"Huh, he thinks that by staying at home and pretending, others won't know that he poisoned Li Yao?" Li Mujun's eyes were cold. Now that she was getting closer to her goal, she became more and more disgusted with Li Heng, wishing that he would immediately If she disappears, she should be the sole ruler of Kyoto.
"Zhao Yan, please note down all the people who visited Li Heng in the past few days. I will deal with them one by one."
Zhao Yan couldn't help but frown when he saw Li Mujun's arrogant words:
"Your Highness, I asked you to visit the royal family. I wonder how much support you have from the royal family?"
It was useless to get the support of officials, but it was useful to get the support of the royal family. If possible, Zhao Yan even hoped that Li Mujun could win over an ancestor of the royal family to support him.
But Zhao Yan also knew that he was having a whim.
But Zhao Yan was very afraid that Li Heng had been silent for the past few days and was secretly trying to win over the support of the royal ancestor.
Li Mujun was not as worried as Zhao Yan, but said carelessly:
"Don't worry, if you are worried about me taking action, all the people who supported Li Yao before have already supported me. In addition, I also had some relationships in the past. The ancestor of the royal family has made sure that he will not interfere in the affairs of me and King Heng.
With Prime Minister Lin and Lu Xun here, the Imperial Palace will have enough strength to suppress Li Heng in the court tomorrow. "
Zhao Yan said, "Your Highness is not enough. Emperor Yao also had help from Prime Minister Lin and Master Lu before, but they failed to defeat King Heng. This shows that we still need to recruit stronger help to defeat King Heng."
Li Mujun frowned upon hearing this, "Who else do we want to win over?"
At this time, a palace maid walked in quickly, bowed and saluted:
"Your Highness the Princess, please go to the Taiwei to see me!"
Zhao Yan raised his head and smiled slightly, his eyes extremely bright and said:
"Your Highness, the person we want to win over is here!"
