Chapter 31 Difficult situation(1/2)
Above the Tai Chi Temple.
Emperor Dagan sat upright on the dragon throne, put down the memorial from Dali Temple Minister Zhuo Pinggang, and said with a sad and angry expression: "The two men of the two states of Yun died like this. Those thieves are really hateful!"
"The bandits in Heishui Village first captured hostages, and then killed two fourth-rank officials. How should this be handled?" King Rong left the queue and said dissatisfied.
This morning, King Rong went to Xue Jingshu to discuss the matter of sending her back to Jeju after the grand ceremony. Unexpectedly, Xue Jingshu hesitated for a moment and agreed, which made King Rong very happy.
But not long after I was happy, when I just walked to the front of the four horses Jinsi in front of the mansion, King Rong received the news that Zhang Guo and Fu Yunsheng were killed by bandits in Heishui Village. Fu Yunsheng's wife also went to an unknown place, and her face suddenly became gloomy.
Heishui Village is entrenched on Heishui Mountain outside the imperial capital, with great power, with thousands of bandits gathering. The leader of Heishui Village is even a practitioner at the swordsman level, which is quite difficult to deal with.
King Rong didn't care about the whereabouts of Fu Yunsheng's wife, but Zhang Guo and Fu Yunsheng were killed and the position of governors of the two states of Yun was vacant, which was a fatal matter.
"Don't worry, brother!" Emperor Dagan suppressed his joy and said calmly: "I will send the security battalion to command five thousand troops to tackle the group of brave bandits."
"Brother Wang is wise!" King Rong bowed.
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the court officials also shouted in unison, including those of the Houdang, of course, Lin Mo and Xuan Yuan were the same.
The voices of the court officials fell, and King Rong immediately went straight to the point and said seriously: "Brother, the governor of Keyun and the two states are dead. Now the most urgent task is to postpone the title and select a new governor to cooperate with the provincial governor to stabilize the hearts of the people of the two states."
In the Dagan Empire in Zhongzhou, military and political separation, the governor and the governor were separated from the governor, and the governor was in charge of the government, and the governor was in charge of the army. Therefore, the governor was also called the governor of the army and the governor, and the governor was also called the governor of the government.
"What the emperor said is reasonable." Emperor Dagan said with a sad expression and continued: "Then I will posthumously confer the title of Fu Yunsheng, the governor of Kezhou, as the loyal baron, and the governor of Yunzhou, as the Baron of Guangyuan, and later generations will enjoy his title."
As he said that, Emperor Dagan looked at the court officials again and asked, "As for who will take over the position of governor of Keyun and the two states, I wonder what talents can you choose?"
After Emperor Dagan finished speaking, the Tai Chi Temple became quiet in an instant. People from the two parties from Ronghou looked at each other, and a fierce battle was about to begin.
At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly spoke.
Lin Mo got out of the queue, bowed and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, based on my understanding of Keyun's two states, I have two talents in my heart to choose."
"Lin Qing, talk quickly." Emperor Dagan said anxiously.
Feeling the attention of the court officials, Lin Mo said calmly: "Wang Ruzhi, the household of Kezhou, who is diligent and loving the people, can succeed as the governor of Kezhou. Li Lian, the military officer of Yunzhou, has outstanding abilities and care for the people, can succeed as the governor of Yunzhou."
As soon as Lin Mo's words came out, several people from the Later Party immediately stood up to argue with Lin Mo's proposal because they felt that these two people were all old subordinates of King Rong.
Furthermore, they all knew that it was Lin Mo who helped King Rong to defeat Li Tai, so how could they agree?
As for the court officials of the Rong Party, they naturally strongly supported Lin Mo.
King Rong and Xuan Yuan stood there quietly thinking without saying anything. After a moment, the two suddenly stood out of the queue and said in unison: "I (my brother) follow the comments from Lin Shangqing."
As soon as the two said the court officials immediately calmed down. Then the party's quarrels saw that the second-in-commander Xuan Yuan agreed. How could they object? They all expressed their support.
Emperor Dagan, who was sitting on the dragon throne of the jade stairs, was full of doubt. Why did Lin Mo recommend all the members of the Rong Party? But at this moment, Emperor Dagan had to agree to ask Lin Mo again after the morning court was over.
After the thought came to an end, Emperor Dagan was upright and said seriously: "Okay, I will grant King Ruzhi the governor of Kezhou to be the governor of Kezhou, and Li Lian, the military commander of Yunzhou, was the governor of Yunzhou."
After saying that, Emperor Dagan turned aside again: "Two days later, the marriage envoy sent by the King of the Western Regions will enter our imperial capital Gantian City. I wonder if the emperor's brother, Xuan Qing, and Lin Qing, who among you is willing to serve as the reception envoy?"
Being an envoy to receive missions from other countries has always been a very honorable errand. In the past, King Rong and Xuan Yuan took turns to take turns this year, but this year it was different. There was a first-rank Shangqing, Lin Mo.
As soon as Emperor Dagan finished speaking, King Rong wanted to recommend himself, but when Yu Guang glanced at Lin Mo, he immediately changed his words: "Brother, I will elect Lin Shangqing as the reception envoy for this Western Regions mission."
For King Rong, being an envoy to receive missions from other countries was an extremely famous thing, but King Rong felt that this was a good time to recruit Lin Mo, so he chose Lin Mo.
Immediately after King Rong's words, Xuan Yuan bowed and bowed, "I also strongly recommend Lin Shangqing."
Just as the court officials of the Later Party were puzzled, King Rong and Xuan Yuan were secretly happy. When the Emperor Dagan was about to issue an order, Lin Mo suddenly refused: "Your Majesty, I think it's not possible. I am still inexperienced in the official position. How can I take on this great task? Let's choose someone else!"
Although receiving envoys from other countries is a very honorable and conservative matter, Lin Mo is not at all interested. If something happens to the mission, receiving envoys will suffer.
With the ability to receive, I might as well spend time with my wife at home!
After swallowing the words to his mouth, Emperor Dagan asked, "Since that's the case, Lin Shangqing has a person who has elected him. It is of great importance to receive the Western Regions mission this time. I wonder if the emperor is willing?"
Of course, King Rong would not refuse and bowed and bowed: "I am willing to share my worries with the emperor!"
Xuan Yuan did not fight, because last time he had already received the mission of Beidi who came to reimburse the peace. It was indeed the turn of King Rong to receive the mission of the Western Regions this time.
After discussing the matter of receiving the Western Regions Mission, he discussed the flood disasters in the two prefectures of Zhangjiang. At the warning of Emperor Dagan, Gao Yue shouted at the top of his voice: "If you have a book, you will not be able to leave the court!"
Seeing that the court officials did not respond, they had a morning court.
After the morning court, Xuan Yuan left straight, and King Rong walked to Lin Mo with a smile, thanking him and letting the governors of Keyun and the two states still hold their hands. He must have thanked him.
The two were having a happy chat. Gao Yue came out and called Lin Mo away.
Farewell to King Rong, Lin Mo led Xifeng and Qiu Yun to the East Nuan Pavilion and entered by himself. Lin Mo saw the confused Emperor sitting behind the imperial case, lowering his head and worrying about something.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you are worried?"
When he heard Lin Mo coming, Emperor Dagan sent the palace maid and eunuch in the warm-up pavilion and asked in confusion: "Ziyong, why do you stand up and elect those two people today? Why don't the two parties in Ronghou compete for each other?"
"Why are they going to fight?" Lin Mo asked back, then smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this battle is meaningless. Both states of Keyun are the sphere of influence of King Rong."
"But Ziyong, if we let the Rong Party and the Hou Party compete, then we can take the opportunity..." Emperor Dagan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Mo's words.
Lin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I know that you want to take the opportunity to install our people, but this is meaningless. The military power is in the hands of King Rong's party, and even if you lay a chess piece in political affairs, it will be meaningless."
"Ziyong's words are reasonable." After hearing Lin Mo's words, Emperor Dagan instantly understood the key points and became enlightened.
Indeed, what we need most now is to weaken the troops in King Rong's hands. If it does not weaken its troops, even if it sets up more chess pieces in political affairs, it will be useless.
Looking at the Emperor Dagan who suddenly understood but was still unwilling to give in, Lin Mo suddenly smiled mysteriously again: "Your Majesty, do you know who Li Lian, the military commander of Yunzhou?"
"Isn't it the son-in-law of Qin Yan, the governor of the military prefect of Yunzhou?" Emperor Dagan said in confusion.
Lin Mo nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, this Li Lian is the son-in-law of Qin Yan, the governor of the military prefecture of Yunzhou. But do you know that this Qin Yan is a member of the Later Party?"
"How is that possible?" Emperor Dagan was shocked: "Ziyong, Qin Yan was once a confidant of the Rong Palace, so King Rong sent him to Yunzhou to become the governor of the 50,000 troops in Yunzhou."
"Nothing is impossible." Lin Mo smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, I sent someone to inquire before coming to the imperial capital. Qin Yan was once the eyes of the late emperor who had been placed beside King Rong. After the late emperor passed away, these eyes were in Xuan Shu's hands."
"Ziyong, do you take this seriously?"
"I dare not deceive the king."
Looking at the confident look on Lin Mo's face, the Emperor Dakan became happy.
Since Qin Yan is a member of the Hou Party, King Rong still has only 350,000 troops in his hands, and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu has 290,000 troops.
After Li Tai's case, Emperor Dagan, with the assistance of Lin Mo, obtained the security battalion and 10,000 surrendered troops, totaling 20,000, becoming the biggest winner.
To sum up the troops in his hands, the imperial guards were 80,000, and the Yulin troops in his hands were 150,000. Now he has 250,000. Emperor Dagan believes that these 250,000 troops would be worth the alliance between the two parties and the army under Lin Mo.
Looking at the joyful Emperor Dagan, Lin Mo suddenly poured a can of slight ice water on him: "Your Majesty, what I want to tell you is that we are still not optimistic now. We only have a hundred thousand troops in our hands, not twenty-five thousand at all."
Emperor Dagan's heart trembled and asked hurriedly: "Ziyong, are you kidding me? Why are we only having a 100,000 army and another 150,000? Could it be..."
As he spoke, Emperor Dagan suddenly understood something and looked at Lin Mo with a serious expression. The eyes in his eyes were unwilling and unbelievable, but more of them were resentful.
Feeling the gaze that Emperor Dagan cast, Lin Mo spoke: "Your Majesty, you are right. The 150,000 Yulin Army on the dam that is only loyal to the emperor does not belong to you."
Lin Mo took out a secret letter from his arms and submitted it to the Emperor Dagan, saying lightly: "The 150,000 Yulin Army has long been divided by King Rong and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu. The 70,000 army in Beishan Camp belongs to King Rong, and the 80,000 army in Nanshan Camp belongs to Empress Dowager Xuan Shu."
This secret letter was the latest information from the Yezhe of Mo Zong last night. The secret letter read: The previous news was wrong, and the 150,000 Bashang Yulin Army had already changed hands.
Lin Mo was not surprised at all. Since Empress Dowager Xuan Shu helped you Ji Ning to the throne of emperor, how could she not move the Yulin army that was loyal to the emperor?
Why is the 70,000 troops in Beishan Camp in the hands of King Rong? Your Empress Dowager Xuan Shu wants to move the Yulin Army, but King Rong never wants to. And the division between the two battalions is the final result of the two parties' compromise.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Emperor Dagan's expression became cold. Suddenly, he tore the secret letter apart and slapped the table angrily: "Ji Guang and Xuan Shu, the thief, have actually moved the Yulin Army. I want to cut you into pieces."
Looking at the furious Emperor Dagan, Lin Mo felt a little disgusted: If it weren't for the imperial guards' commander Gai Chen, the great practitioner at the great swordsman level, the two parties of Ronghou were a little afraid, and they were afraid that the 80,000 imperial guards would be gone.
After being angry, Emperor Dagan calmed down, looked at Lin Mo, and said sincerely: "The two parties in Ronghou are so powerful. Ziyong, only can I help me. You are my brother-in-law, you must help me!"
Lin Mo bowed and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Now that the two parties in Rongcheng are restricting each other, our situation is not that bad. We still have time, and I will definitely help you."
"Ziyong, please!"
"Don't worry, your Majesty, I..."
After comforting the Emperor Dagan, Lin Moxing left the East Warehouse and walked on the corridor and corridor in the inner palace, but there was a faint evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
Now the two parties hold nearly 800,000 troops in their hands, and the Emperor Dagan only holds 100,000 troops in their hands. This power is extremely different, but Lin Mo just likes the feeling of swallowing the 800,000 troops bit by bit.
Lin Mo did not leave the palace, but went straight to Xiao Shuya's Jinsu Palace.
When he arrived at the gate of Jinsu Palace, Lin Mo looked at the golden plaque on his head and thought to himself: I wonder if Emperor Dagan knew that Xiao Shuya was the daughter of Xiao Fu, the governor of Pingzhou who was in charge of the 50,000 troops. Will he come to Jinsu Palace?
But no matter whether Emperor Dagan will come or not, the Jinsu Palace in front of him, the beauty in the palace, and the 50,000 troops in Pingzhou have been placed on the chessboard by Lin Mo.
Seeing Lin Mo coming into the palace, Ah Hui, who was commanding the busy palace maids in the palace, turned around and was about to enter the palace. He reported to Concubine De Xiao Shuya, but was immediately stopped by Lin Mo.
"No need, I will go in by myself."
Thinking of what Xiao Shuya was doing in the house, Ahui's face became a little strange, but she also thought that her empress had already committed herself to the disciple in front of her that day, and the emperor who was fighting with the emperor had even agreed to the tacit, so she had to give up.
When asked Xifeng and Qiu Yun to guard the hall, Lin Mo gently pushed open the hall door, walked in, took the snow quilt and cloak on the wooden mat, and searched for a while, but did not see Xiao Shuya's people.
When he walked into the inner room again, he immediately saw a beauty coming out of the bath. Seeing such a erotic scene, Lin Mo was extremely rippling and praised in his heart: "What a pretty lotus flower!"
The palace maid who was responsible for serving Xiao Shuya from the bath was about to scream immediately, but was glared by Lin Mo's cold eyes, and the palace maid immediately swallowed the words back.
Feeling someone coming in, the beauty Xiao Shuya didn't look back, stretched out her arms and ordered: "Ahui, please tell me to change my clothes. The famous Lin Shangqing should be coming soon."
Lin Mo glanced at Mu Shi's underwear, pants and shirt, and said nothing, and smiled faintly, picked up those things, stood behind Xiao Shuya, and began to wear them for her.
With the cooperation of the palace maid, Xiao Shuya dressed all the clothes for Xiao Shuya. Xiao Shuya ordered the palace maid and said, "You go out first, Ah Hui stayed for the palace."
