Chapter 151: Repairing the Plank Road in the Open, but Marching Through Chencang in Secret
In the imperial city of the capital, inside Kunning Palace.
The Queen Mother Su Waner, who was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, stared at the envelope in her hand with gloomy eyes, which was sent back to the capital from Mozhou City on the Youyun front line by the mighty general Wu Sanjia. Top secret correspondence.
In the letter, Wu Sanjia expressed his loyalty to the current Holy Emperor Lingwu Young Emperor and the Queen Mother Su Waner who was in charge of the affairs behind the curtain.
He also expressed that if he could get the support of the young emperor Lingwu and the empress dowager Su, Wu Sanjia would be willing to lead the new army of 300,000 tiger soldiers stationed in Ying and Mozhou to go to Beijing to serve the king and kill the traitor Qin Ruhui.
Su Waner read this letter written by Wu Sanjia for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Cai He, this is a letter from General Wu sent back to the capital from the front line;"
"Is there anyone else who knows about this matter before it is forwarded to the Ai family?"
"Replying to the Queen Mother, this letter is from General Wu's confidant. He secretly handed it over to the old slave while reporting to the imperial court and the Prime Minister on the Mozhou front line, and asked the old slave to forward it to the Queen Mother!"
The eunuch Cai He, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, Bingbi, replied without hesitation: "Madam, after this letter is handled by this old slave, no third party will know about it!"
Um!
Su Wan'er nodded solemnly, but she was still a little undecided.
In this great new court, as the Queen Mother, Su Waner, even though she had replaced the young emperor Zhao Lingwu to listen to the affairs behind the curtain, she was still the most vulnerable person in the entire court.
To put it nicely, she is the queen mother of the dynasty who listens to politics behind the curtain.
To put it bluntly, he is just a puppet supported by Qin Ruhui, the treacherous prime minister who stole the country, and sits in the Jinluan Palace as a mascot.
Since taking charge of the government behind the curtain, Su Waner, as the Queen Mother of the dynasty, has not thought about getting rid of Qin Ruhui's control and returning the rights of the new dynasty to the young emperor Zhao Lingwu.
However, Su Waner, a political novice, is no match for the cunning and treacherous Prime Minister Qin Ruhui.
Whether she ordered the confidant eunuch Cai He to carry out the edict, or secretly recruited Chen Huaian, the king of Jin, who raised troops to appease the people;
Or he ordered his brother Su Muchen, the king of Zhongshan, to secretly unite with the three kings of different surnames in the Jiangnan region while they were idle at home to recruit troops and wait for an opportunity to send troops to Beijing to serve the king;
Afterwards, they were all known by Prime Minister Qin Ruhui, who controlled the Red Guards, the intelligence agency of the new imperial court.
If it weren't for the lack of suitable candidates for the new emperor, Qin Ruhui might have already taken action against the Queen Mother Su Waner and the new Lingwu young emperor Zhao Lingwu.
The contradiction between the imperial power and the prime minister's power in the Great New Dynasty has intensified to the point of being irreconcilable.
It is not difficult to see from the last time that Qin Ruhui united with officials from six ministries to put pressure on Queen Mother Su Waner in the court, forcing her to take out twelve million taels of silver from Su Muchen, the king of Zhongshan;
Qin Ruhui and his party members were already preparing to attack Empress Dowager Su and the Zhongshan Palace behind her.
In just a few days, he continued to put pressure on Su Waner, demanding five million taels of military pay, using an autographed letter from Wu Sanjia, the leader of the Huben Army on the Mozhou front line.
No matter how stupid Su Waner is, she can naturally smell the danger.
Obviously, Qin Ruhui planned to squeeze out all the property of the Queen Mother Su Waner and the Zhongshan Palace, and then use the unfounded incident to make the Queen Mother Su Waner and the young emperor Zhao Lingwu die.
If it weren't for the fact that Jin King Chen Huaian suddenly led an army to attack Ying and Mo Prefectures on Youyun battlefield, and the battle situation on the front line was tense, Qin Ruhui might have already started planning to bury Su Waner and her son.
At this critical moment, Queen Mother Su Waner suddenly received a secret letter from Wu Sanjia, the mighty general Wu Sanjia, the commander-in-chief of Daxin, who held a heavy army, expressing his willingness to lead his troops to Beijing to rescue the king and kill the thief Qin Ruhui.
To say that Amelia Su is not moved would be a lie.
However, there is no free lunch in this world.
Su Waner was worried, after killing Qin Ruhui, how should Wu Sanjia, a thief of the country, appear?
In particular, Wu Sanjia made it clear in his letter that if he wanted him to lead his troops to the capital without anyone noticing, he would need to be given the right to control the world's soldiers and horses;
In order that Wu Sanjia could move unimpeded, he led a new army of 300,000 Huben troops from Yingzhou and Mozhou to return to the imperial city of the capital.
Just this point stumped Amelia Su.
On the one hand, it was because she wanted to grant Wu Sanjia the military power to control the armies of the Great New Dynasty. Su Waner could not make the decision alone;
On the other hand, if Wu Sanjia, who has a large number of soldiers, leads a new army of 300,000 Huben troops to enter the capital, after King Qin, looking at the entire Daxin court, no one can compete with him;
By that time, who can guarantee that Wu Sanjia will not have any objections?
The fate of Queen Mother Su Waner and young emperor Zhao Lingwu will also exist in Wu Sanjia's thoughts.
For a time, Queen Mother Su Waner was in a dilemma as to where to go.
In the end, after careful consideration, Su Waner decided to hang Wu Sanjia first.
She whispered: "Cai He, go to Mozhou City personally on behalf of the Ai family. After you find General Wu, tell him this."
Mozhou City, inside the Huben New Army Camp.
Since General Wu Sanjia's Chinese army tent was occupied by Huang Silang, the Minister of War Affairs Department sent by the imperial court to supervise the war, Wu Sanjia transferred to the camp of deputy general Zhao Kui to command the battle.
In recent days, the 350,000 Dragon City troops in the outer city of Mozhou City have not conducted large-scale siege operations.
Just every day, a small group of scouts was sent to pretend to attack the city in order to find out the distribution of Mozhou City's defenses.
Wu Sanjia still closed the city and did not leave. Instead, he frequently mobilized troops to change defenses between Ying and Mozhou.
This move naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the war supervisor, the Minister of War Huang Silang, and he kept sending memorials impeaching Wu Sanjia.
However, Wu Sanjia remained unmoved.
Even when facing the questioning of the then Prime Minister Qin Ruhui, Wu Sanjia still evaded the question by saying "a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home."
On this day, in the tent of the deputy general of the Tiger Guard New Army.
Deputy General Zhao Kui was a little impatient and asked Wu Sanjia: "General, do you think the Queen Mother can agree to our request?"
"The longer this matter is delayed, the more passive we will be!"
After a pause, Zhao Kui continued: "In the past few days, the activities of the Longcheng rebels outside the city have obviously become much more frequent. If I am not mistaken, Chen Huaian is planning to attack Mozhou City!"
Hearing this, Wu Sanjia smiled calmly, looked at Zhao Kui and said: "General Zhao, do you think the Queen Mother has any other choice besides agreeing to our request?"
"Unless she is ready to take the young Emperor Lingwu to be buried with the Daxin Dynasty!"
Well!
Zhao Kui nodded thoughtfully and said, "The general is right. After all, the right to control the troops of the Great Xin Dynasty is not something that the Queen Mother can decide alone!"
"I just hope that this matter can be settled quickly, otherwise when Chen Huaian attacks Mozhou, it will be difficult for us to withdraw from Mozhou!"
"Report--"
"Report to the general, the eunuch Cai He, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, wants to see you--"
Suddenly, the messenger's announcement sounded outside the tent.
In the tent, Wu Sanjia and Zhao Kui looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
It's really "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear"!
Wu Sanjia shouted: "Please come in!"
