Chapter 151 How to Deal with Yan Donghuang
In early March, King Wuyang's book was delivered to the imperial capital.
He said in the paper that the emperor had just ascended the throne and the middle palace was empty. He was willing to send his youngest son to the palace to serve the emperor. He only asked for the emperor's grace to give him the title of a formal husband.
If you have a big appetite, you will be a good husband if you open your mouth.
When Yan Zhang got the news, he trembled with fear.
It was too late for him to stop it.
And it is very likely that King Wuyang and his son are already on their way.
As for why King Wuyang chose to enter the capital at this time, it was naturally related to Feng Yaoguang's attack on Nanling.
Feng Yaoguang was ordered to conquer Nanling, and he would definitely pass through King Wuyang's territory, and he might even get King Wuyang to cooperate.
If King Wuyang agreed, he would be shooting himself in the foot. If he did not cooperate, he would be resisting the order, so he chose this time to enter the capital.
But going to Beijing right now is not a wise move.
The generals guarding the border were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an order, let alone return to the imperial city without permission.
King Wuyang is now riding a tiger with difficulty.
If he does not go to the capital, he will help Feng Yaoguang deal with Nanling. Once Nanling is really destroyed, he, the King of Wuyang, will lose his role from now on. If he secretly helped Nanling deal with Feng Yaoguang, he would be dead if he was found out. Even if he rebelled, his chances of winning would not be great.
Although it was against the rules to enter the capital, Yan Donghuang had just ascended the throne, so what he could bet on was that Yan Donghuang did not have the courage to punish him yet.
As long as he was not at the border, Feng Yaoguang could fight as he pleased, and he could still avoid suspicion.
But now the person who regrets it is Yan Zhang.
He always felt that Yan Donghuang seemed to have some witchcraft and did not follow the ordinary path at all.
Before she ascended the throne, the princes were too afraid to say anything. She dared to say it, and even directly proposed that she wanted to be emperor in front of her father. No one else had the courage.
After he ascended the throne, he was too lazy to be conceited and used strong methods to weaken the prince's power.
Yan Zhang was originally full of confidence, but Yan Ling's sudden accident caused his original confidence to shrink by more than half. At this time, he even began to pray that something would happen to King Wuyang on the road, and it would be best to arrive in Beijing later.
In this way, he would have enough time to send someone to deliver a message, allowing him to return to southern Xinjiang and retract what he had said before.
"Your Majesty looks very worried." The staff looked at Yan Zhang's anxious expression and roughly guessed what he was worried about. "Are you worried that King Wuyang will offend His Majesty after he comes to the capital?"
Yan Zhang glanced at him with a gloomy expression: "I feel that I am too impatient. Yan Donghuang has just ascended the throne and is about to establish her power. As an empress, she is already questionable, so she can only kill a few more people to shock her. The world. If I confront her at this time, wouldn’t I be putting the blame in his hands?”
The staff member was silent for a moment: "Didn't the prince believe what Prince An said before?"
King An always came after dark, and used the back door of the palace.
The strategies he told Yan Zhang were all feasible on the surface. King Wuyang guarded the border and had military power. If someone else was the emperor, fear would be inevitable.
But Yan Donghuang has the Qingluan Army in his hands.
She has a cold temper and is not someone who is willing to be threatened.
However, Yan Zhang believed Yan Ling's words like a fascination and secretly kept in touch with King Wuyang through letters.
It wasn't until King An died that he realized that Yan Donghuang could really kill people.
Now he just wants to pray to Yan Donghuang to directly reject King Wuyang's suggestion and order him to return to the border.
However, Yan Zhang's prayers had no effect.
After Yan Donghuang saw King Wuyang's offer, he responded directly and ordered King Wuyang to bring his young son to Beijing.
After hearing the news, Yan Zhang became restless and urgently summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures: "What should we do now? King Wuyang will be a hostage when he enters the capital. Yan Donghuang will not directly detain people in the capital, right?"
The chief of staff, who is over forty years old, has a gentle look and looks calm and calm: "Your Majesty, don't worry first. When Wu Wangyang comes to Beijing at this time, he should be fully prepared and will not take risks easily. However, Your Majesty should first destroy all contacts with Prince Wuyang." Don’t leave any evidence, especially letters.”
Yan Zhang's face turned ugly: "Even if there is no evidence, given the relationship between me and King Wuyang, as long as something happens to him, can I still run away?"
"King Wuyang has been guarding the border for many years and is very powerful. His Majesty should also be wary of it." The middle-aged staff member muttered, "If the prince is really worried, there is a plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"explain."
"If King Wuyang was assassinated on the road and was seriously injured and returned to his fiefdom to recuperate, he would not have to go to the capital to face His Majesty for questioning. Secondly, he would not have the opportunity to 'threaten' His Majesty. Naturally, he would not be sent to the capital for questioning. excuse."
Yan Zhang was startled and couldn't help but fell silent.
This is not a bad idea.
He had written to King Wuyang before because King Wuyang's military strength could contain the capital and because King Wuyang was needed at the southern border, Yan Donghuang did not dare to touch him easily.
If we can use the help of King Wuyang and Nanling to drive a wedge between Yan Donghuang and Feng Yaoguang, and even use Feng Yaoguang's identity as an excuse to make the seven generals of the Qingluan Army suspicious of each other, the court will also have several rivals. General's suspicion.
The powerful Qingluan Army will also be destroyed bit by bit.
But he didn't expect that the person who rescued Feng Yaoguang would be his father. What he didn't expect was that his father would directly issue an order for Feng Yaoguang to lead troops to attack Nanling.
Nanling's territory is smaller than that of Yong Dynasty, and its national power and military strength seem to be about the same. However, Nanling has suffered from serious civil strife in recent years, and its combat power has long been overdrawn. If Feng Yaoguang can capture Nanling...
Huh?
Yan Zhang was shocked and suddenly thought of the most critical question.
He turned to look at his staff: "Do you think my father's decision to let Feng Yaoguang attack Nanling was a wise one?"
The staff was puzzled: "What the prince means..."
"Feng Yaoguang is the prince of Nanling. According to his own opinion, he was expelled from the Nanling royal family. He must have made a heinous mistake, but these are not the point." Yan Zhang took a deep breath, " The point is that he is a prince. If he breaks through Nanling and makes the former Nanling royal family prisoners, do you think he will give birth to King Lin when he looks at the high city wall, the majestic palace, the magnificent palace and the golden dragon chair? The heart of the world?"
When the staff heard this, a light appeared in their eyes: "If Feng Yaoguang really has such thoughts, he and Your Majesty will probably turn against each other."
"It's not just the relationship between enemies, but also the affiliation of the Qingluan Army." Yan Zhang seemed to suddenly become a wise man. He walked to the side and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea. "The Yaoguang Army is composed of the Qingluan Army." As part of the army, this time Feng Yaoguang brought not only the Yaoguang Army, but also Gu Chiran’s Tianshu Army, a total of 50,000 elites, including 10,000 cavalry..."
He turned to look at his staff, "You know the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, right? If Feng Yaoguang promises great benefits to the generals, the general will be granted the title of marquis, and all other meritorious people will be promoted to generals, will they be willing to stay? If money is not enough to attract people, what about beauty? People in the world have weaknesses, and if you give them enough, you can make them betray."
Yan Zhang felt that he finally found a way to deal with Yan Donghuang.
The split of Qingluan Army should start with Feng Yaoguang.
After the split, Qingluan's military strength will be greatly weakened, and King Wuyang will be able to compete with Yan Donghuang in terms of force, or even negotiate.
Yan Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was extremely smart.
