Chapter 593 A Beautiful Night
On the bed.
When he heard these words from Murong Die next to him, Li Beifeng was startled and suddenly turned his head to look at her.
"Rising in arms?"
"Um."
"when?"
"Two days ago!"
In the darkness, Murong Die's voice was slightly relaxed: "As expected, the news should be spread back to the capital in two days!"
Li Beifeng frowned.
He already knew the news that Prince Zhaonan was planning to rebel, but he didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly.
From the time the news of the rebellion spread to the time the troops were raised, the time between them was a little too short, right?
As if she could see Li Beifeng's doubts, Murong Die rested her head on his chest, stared at Li Beifeng with her dark eyes, and said softly: "The information that was sent back to the capital before was all deliberately released by the prince..."
"Actually, the prince had already prepared to send troops a few months ago..."
Hearing this, Li Beifeng suddenly realized.
I see!
So, Zhao Jing's previous investigation and the news that Prince Zhaonan was recruiting troops were all false?
No, it can’t be said to be fake.
But the time is wrong!
"He has prepared everything a long time ago and is just waiting for an opportunity, right?"
Li Beifeng squinted his eyes and spoke softly.
"right!"
Murong Die nodded and sighed slightly: "For this day, the prince has been waiting for more than ten years..."
"For more than ten years, the prince has been traveling around the world, but secretly he has been developing his own power. He has attracted countless experts and counselors to his side... He has even won the support of most of the aristocratic families in the entire Jiangnan region!"
Although he had already guessed this, Li Beifeng was still frightened after hearing the confirmation from Murong Die.
At the same time, there are also some doubts: "Why can he win the support of the entire Jiangnan region?"
Murong Die glanced at him: "What do you think?"
Li Beifeng thought for a moment: "Profit?"
"What if?"
Murong Die chuckled and said calmly: "The prince and those aristocratic families are just using each other..."
"Over the years, the Jiangnan aristocratic families have grown stronger and have taken control of the economy and military in the Jiangnan region. Gradually, the conflict with the Jokhang court has become more and more serious. The Jokhang court wants to centralize power and control the major aristocratic families, but how can those aristocratic families be willing?"
"Because of this, the conflicts between various aristocratic families and the imperial court are getting bigger and bigger..."
Li Beifeng squinted his eyes slightly, he probably knew what was going on!
In recent years, the Jiangnan family has become more and more powerful. Not only does it occupy the entire Jiangnan region, it even has considerable say in the court.
Because of this, the imperial court was naturally worried about allowing the Jiangnan family to grow.
And the aristocratic families in Jiangnan would not just watch the imperial court suppress them.
Contradictions are constantly growing in this silent struggle!
People from various Jiangnan aristocratic families knew very well that the imperial court would take action against them sooner or later, and they could not just watch them grow bigger.
When Emperor Zhao was in power, he had begun to gradually weaken the power of the Jiangnan family and shaken their fundamental interests.
Moving people's interests is like killing their parents. The families in the south of the Yangtze River will not sit still and wait for death.
At this time, the appearance of Prince Zhaonan undoubtedly allowed the families in Jiangnan to find a new replacement.
Prince Zhaonan seeks the supreme position, while the Jiangnan family wants profits.
So, both parties took what they needed and hit it off!
"This time, Dazhao may be in danger!"
Murong Die narrowed her eyes slightly.
Li Beifeng was startled, "How do you say this?"
"My lord, he has been planning for so many years and is fully prepared... This time, he must want to get back what he lost more than ten years ago!"
"Zhao Jing, he can't stop him!"
Li Beifeng was silent for a moment.
He met Prince Zhaonan once and rejected his advances. After that, Prince Zhaonan killed him!
It is enough to see that this person is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
He has been secretly planning this for more than ten years. How far has his power reached? No one knows.
"The prince originally wanted to continue to lurk for a few years, waiting for an excellent opportunity..."
"Perfect opportunity?"
"That's right!"
Murong Die nodded: "The prince's original plan was to wait for the rebellion in Beizhou and the old party of Northern Qi to return to the country, and then take advantage of the suppression of the rebel party in Dazhao to start an uprising. It's a pity...the old party of Northern Qi has not been able to do so yet. Make any waves!"
Li Beifeng remained calm and silent.
This is true. The old party in Northern Qi has been struggling for so many years and has not seen any improvement.
If it weren't for the Taoist nun, Li Beifeng wouldn't have much confidence in restoring the country.
Even now, he doesn't think the success rate can be that high!
"I thought that the prince might be lurking for a few more years, but I didn't expect..."
Speaking of this, Murong Die's lips showed a smile that was either mocking or meaningful: "Zhao Jing killed his father and ascended the throne... His move undoubtedly gave the prince an excellent opportunity to cause trouble!"
"My lord, of course you didn't miss this opportunity!"
In the darkness, Murong Die looked at Li Beifeng quietly: "Do you know what the prince's name is for raising the army this time?"
"What?"
"Jingnan!"
"Jingnan?"
Li Beifeng was silent. Why did this sound so familiar?
It seems that in the long history of another world, a battle about Jingnan also took place.
And...it was also the uncle who rebelled against his nephew!
Matched?
However, everyone already knew the outcome of the Jingnan Campaign.
"The death of the previous emperor for no reason caused a great uproar in the world, and made countless people doubt... Did Zhao Jing kill his father to ascend the throne..."
"Although there is no evidence, the rumor has spread throughout the world. What the people need is not evidence, but an explanation..."
"If Zhao Jing can't prove that he didn't kill the king, then his reputation of killing his father will be confirmed among the people, and he can't wash away this crime..."
"And this time, the prince issued a manifesto in the name of Jingnan, saying that the new emperor was deceived by traitors and the chaos was beyond the scope of the law. He led his troops to Beijing to clear the court... As expected, the prince quickly attracted the support of the people in the Jiangnan region! In just a few days, the prince's troops had occupied most of the Jiangnan region..."
"I'm afraid it won't take long before it will soon sweep across the capital!"
"..."
In the dark, on the bed.
Murong Die told the story!
As an aide to Prince Zhaonan, she knew all these clearly.
She stared at Li Beifeng quietly and chuckled: "In fact, among the people, the support for the prince is far greater than the support for Zhao Jing... This time, Zhao Jing may not be able to cope with it!"
Li Beifeng certainly knew this truth.
Zhao Jing did not get the support of the people of the world because of his illegitimate position.
And Prince Zhaonan...
He was the younger brother of the previous emperor and the blood of the Great Zhao Emperor. Even more than a decade ago, he did not think that he was a legitimate competitor for the throne.
Therefore, this time he rebelled in the name of Jingnan, and it was easy for him to win the support of the people.
Li Beifeng seemed to have thought of something: "I have a question."
"What?"
"When the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, Prince Zhaonan's reputation reached its peak. Why did he suddenly resign and leave the capital to travel?"
Murong Die sneered: "Of course he was forced!"
"Huh?"
"Although the prince held the Dazhao Iron Cavalry and had great power, he was just a prince after all. Even if his generals and many people wanted him to be the emperor, he couldn't usurp the throne!"
"I don't know what happened exactly that year, but I just know that the prince was plotted against by Emperor Zhao and had to return the Dazhao Iron Cavalry and military power. In the end, he survived by staying away from the court..."
Li Beifeng was thoughtful.
"You should leave the capital as soon as possible!"
At this time, Murong Die looked at him and shook her head gently: "If nothing unexpected happens, the prince's troops will soon attack the capital. It won't be so easy to leave at that time!"
"Are you so sure that he will win?"
Li Beifeng said unexpectedly.
Is she a little too confident?
Although Prince Zhaonan has been preparing for many years and must be well prepared, Dazhao is not a soft persimmon after all. How difficult is it to rebel?
After all, no matter what, if it weren't for the frequent stupid moves of Emperor Jianwen, he wouldn't have lost his country!
As if thinking of something, Murong Die's eyes flashed a little strange, and she shook her head gently: "You don't understand, you don't know..."
"How well prepared is the prince? Behind him stands the entire Jiangnan family... Things are definitely not that simple!"
"Why?"
Li Beifeng keenly noticed the light in her eyes and was a little puzzled.
"Do you know He Wansheng?"
"He Wansheng?"
Li Beifeng frowned. The name sounded familiar. It seemed that he had heard of it somewhere?
"The first god of war in Dazhao, the first general who pacified and destroyed Northern Qi!"
Murong Die spoke softly.
Li Beifeng then remembered the other party's identity.
He Wansheng, isn't he the governor of Beizhou now? !
Why did Murong Die suddenly mention him?
Li Beifeng was stunned at first, and then he turned around and looked at her suddenly as if he realized something.
Murong Die nodded slightly and said softly: "He is the prince's man!"
In an instant, Li Beifeng's heart was shocked.
He Wansheng, is actually the man of Prince Zhaonan?
Li Beifeng has heard a lot about this man's reputation. It is said that this man has extremely high martial arts skills and is extremely good at leading troops in battle.
Being called the first war god of Dazhao is enough to show his ability!
More importantly, he is now the governor of Dazhao Beizhou, holding the troops in the north of Dazhao and guarding the territory of Beizhou.
If...
He is the man of Prince Zhaonan!
Once he rebels from the north, Dazhao will be attacked from both north and south at the same time... The situation will be really different!
"He Wansheng was a general by the prince's side back then, loyal to the prince... In the past few years, the prince and him have already had some contact in the correspondence..."
In the darkness, Murong Die smiled and said with a smile; "Do you think Dazhao can still be sure by then?"
Li Beifeng was silent for a moment, and sighed: "So, Dazhao is really finished this time?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be!"
Murong Die chuckled and her eyes fell on him again: "What? What are you worried about?"
"What can I worry about?"
Li Beifeng shook his head, his eyes fixed on Murong Die in his arms, and seemed to think of something: "What about you?"
"Why did you appear in the capital... Was it his order?"
"No!"
Murong Die shook her head gently, paused for a moment, and said: "I have left him!"
Hearing this, Li Beifeng's face condensed: "What do you mean?"
"Not long after you left Chaoyang County, I left too!"
Murong Die looked at Li Beifeng and seemed to have thought of something. Her beautiful eyes were burning, shining like stars in the darkness: "Speaking of which, I should actually thank you..."
"If it weren't for your words, maybe I would still stay in Chaoyang County, become his minion, and help him win over talented people..."
"You reminded me that I should be myself. So, I decided to be myself for once..."
Hearing Murong Die's words, Li Beifeng was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect that Murong Die would take the initiative to leave Prince Zhaonan?
As if he thought of something again, Li Beifeng's eyes narrowed: "Is he willing to let you go?"
"Of course I don't want to!"
Murong Die shook her head slightly: "However, I insist on leaving, and he can't stop me!"
Li Beifeng frowned: "Is this really true?"
"What if?"
There seemed to be a hint of self-deprecation in her tone: "His plan is about to succeed. To him, I am just a chess piece that is almost useless. It has no meaning..."
There's no problem with the explanation, it's just...
Li Beifeng still felt that things were not that simple.
When he was unwilling to submit to Prince Zhaonan and do things for him, he sent people to kill Li Beifeng.
How could such a vicious person let go of Murong Die, a person who knew so many of his secrets?
In the darkness, Li Beifeng stared at her quietly: "Tell the truth."
Murong Die looked startled, then chuckled: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you..."
"He did send people to kill me and silence me, but..."
A sneer appeared on Murong Die's face: "Over the years, I have attracted so many experts and talents for him. Many of the experts around him were recruited by me... It's not that easy for him to kill me..."
Having said this, Murong Die moved slightly and rested his head on Li Beifeng's arm again, lowering his eyes slightly: "The masters he sent to chase me were all people who had a good relationship with me. They couldn't bear it. Once you start, let me go..."
After finishing speaking, Murong Die's tone sank slightly: "I have been with him for more than ten years, and I have done so many things for him and made so many contributions. I never thought that I would not be able to escape death in the end... "
What a mockery!
Li Beifeng was silent.
His eyes looked at the woman in his arms with slight pity.
She is indeed pitiful!
"It's okay, it will be fine in the future!"
Li Beifeng gently hugged her snowy shoulders exposed outside the quilt with one hand, and gently comforted her: "Now, you are free!"
"Yeah, I'm free!"
Murong Die sighed with emotion, but soon her eyes dimmed.
"What's wrong?"
"I am the only one left alone in this world!"
Her eyes were calm and she spoke calmly.
She is an orphan and was adopted by Prince Zhaonan since she was a child.
Now that she left the prince, she naturally became a loner.
Li Beifeng lowered his head and met her eyes.
When he noticed Murong Die's gloomy and somewhat indescribable mood, his heart trembled slightly.
"You are not alone!"
Li Beifeng subconsciously hugged her into his arms: "Don't you still have me?"
Hearing this, Murong Die trembled slightly and stared into his eyes.
After a moment, she suddenly said: "So, you want to be responsible for me?"
"No……"
Murong Die's delicate body trembled, and her eyes were instantly filled with disappointment and sadness.
"You are responsible for me!"
Li Beifeng looked at her seriously: "You have soiled my innocence and taken over my body... You must be responsible for me!"
He spoke confidently.
Murong Die was stunned on the spot, looking at Li Beifeng blankly.
In those beautiful eyes with dark pupils, there seemed to be some light slowly lighting up at this moment.
"Why are you so stunned... You don't want to deny it, do you?"
Li Beifeng looked at her warily, but there was a bit of a smile in his eyes... Obviously, it was a joking smile.
Murong Die slowly came back to her senses.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and the smile in his eyes burst out at this moment.
The originally charming eyes suddenly became extraordinarily horizontal and attractive at this moment.
She glanced at Li Beifeng passionately, stepped forward, and breathed softly into Li Beifeng's ear: "In this case, then I will... occupy you again!"
After saying that, before Li Beifeng could come to his senses, the delicate body in his arms suddenly slid down and quickly got into the quilt.
Li Beifeng was startled, not realizing what she was going to do.
The next second.
"hiss……"
Li Beifeng's face suddenly showed a happy and surprised smile...
This is truly worthy of being an oiran!
