Chapter 245
Chapter 245
The spread of folk rumors was unexpected by the emperor, which naturally affected the emperor's mood, which in turn affected his body even more. Even during the court period, there were uncontrollable coughing sounds. The imperial doctor only said that the emperor was too tired , the body is weak and needs to rest, but now that the court has gradually left the emperor's control, how can he rest.
Moreover, he gradually felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. He always felt that he was being attacked by an invisible force, but he couldn't see the attacker.Gradually become suspicious
In this way, not only can You Si not rest all day long, but he has a tendency to gradually become irritable. He is promoted, demoted, rewarded and punished. He uses all the means of the emperor to regain control of the court in a short time. It is indeed quite effective, but it is difficult to change. foundation.Let the emperor feel powerless.He is like a lion about to get old and sick, being questioned by the lions.
If it wasn't for the gradual deterioration of his body, maybe he still has the patience to change slowly, just like he did with Yuan Ran back then, but obviously he doesn't have that much energy anymore.
On the contrary, the fight between the princelings and the four princelings below is very exciting, almost on the bright side.
Because Yuan Ye moved Empress Cheng before, forcing the Cheng family to go back to the original path, which made the Cheng family very dissatisfied, and they could not return to a state of mutual trust in a short time. got the upper hand.
It's just that they are both weakening in the unconscious struggle.
And this 'unknowingly' is naturally the credit of Chu Lishu.
Chu Lishu checked his body again, and it had stabilized. Everyone was relieved, but asked Chu Lishu to carry a calming pill with him, and he would take one when his mind was unstable.
After Mu Huichun's examination, it was confirmed that Chu Lishu's body was gradually recovering this time.According to Mu Huichun's calculations, within three months it might be back to normal.This is half a year earlier than the original text.However, all the plots have been advanced due to various changes, but it fits well.
Lin Qingyang was worried that if he was too rushed, it would be unsafe.Mu Huichun had studied the advance method before, and naturally also studied the delayed method, so he asked Chu Li if he needed the book.But Chu Lishu is very clear about the current situation, there is no reason to procrastinate, things should be done quickly rather than slowly.
The enemies are not fools, they just haven't reacted yet, and when they get clues and give them a chance to react, it will be detrimental to themselves, so compared to the harm of a quick fight, the benefits are the greatest, and it's getting worse Also agree.
Moreover, the poisonous snake mentioned by Yusuoxi always made Chu Lishu slightly uneasy. He wanted to recover quickly not because of selfishness, but because he wanted to have the ability to protect people. Now he is too weak.At critical times, martial arts is the most direct way to protect people.
Knowing that there are less than three months left, Chu Lishu plans to close the net as soon as possible within two months.He thought about it all night, and when Lin Qingyang got up early to find him, he had already thought about the follow-up arrangements.
A whole table is covered with densely packed papers with plans, and Chu Lishu is about to burn them. They are all kinds of futures planned by Chu Lishu, and all the calculations are just to find the safest and most stable way to reach the end. destination.
Lin Qingyang helped him burn those thinking processes together, watching the flames gradually devour those papers.It seemed that the shackles of hatred wrapped around Chu Lishu's body were being opened one by one.
Lin Qingyang looked sideways at Chu Lishu, and seeing that he looked tired, he stretched out his arms and let him lean on his shoulder, saying, "Soon...soon, your wish will come true."
Chu Lishu leaned obediently on Lin Qingyang's body, looking at the brazier firmly, with fire shining in his black eyes.He said firmly, "You have to stay with me all the time."
"Well. I will."
Yuan Ye and Cheng's plan was only halfway through, and the Ministry of War hadn't been cleaned up yet. The military power in Huo Luo's hands was not enough to deal with any sudden changes, and the killer who went to kill Zhao Cheng hadn't replied yet.It still takes a lot of hard work to finish everything in two months.
Both of them are very busy, and they have to take care of all matters. Chu Lishu is dedicated to handling his own plans, but Prime Minister Li also has things for them to do, so Lin Qingyang alone handles what the two of them took over. It's a matter, but Lin Qingyang is also a person who has been honed by Chu Lishu's side. Although he is not as talented as Chu Lishu and Yuechen in terms of tactics, he is already handy at least handling six things. Who told them to deal with six things at the beginning? Under the guidance of Chu Lishu, he has thoroughly studied all six volumes.
This was just used to deal with Prime Minister Li, and Prime Minister Li really thought that the things he gave were done by two people, and they were all done very well, which made him very satisfied, so that Prime Minister Li would not have any doubts.
In such a high-intensity situation, you can't make mistakes. Being caught by someone, you fall asleep every day when you're tired, and you cuddle each other quietly, but you don't have so many rippling thoughts. At most, you can't bear a few kisses. Just touch it a few times and you're done.
And Chu Lishu's plan has already started to run.
The first is the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce. When Chu Lishu wanted to support Chenlan, he used Chenlan to suppress other clans and control the economic lifeline of Da Zhou. Liu Jingchen helped a lot when dealing with Pei and Wang. Of course While he was helping, his own Chenlan Chamber of Commerce was also expanding.
Although the current Chenlan has not reached the level expected by Chu Lishu, it is enough to use.
So Chu Lishu had a discussion with Liu Jingchen. From the next day, the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce gave up expansion in other directions, concentrated almost all of its power, and then used various names to attack Cheng's Chamber of Commerce.Chu Lishu asked Liu Jingchen to hollow out the Cheng family within a month.This was a big risk, and even Chen Lan might be involved, but Liu Jingchen agreed, he was confident in the challenge, and Chu Lishu would help him from time to time, so things went smoothly from the beginning.
It is estimated that the Cheng family, who is currently concentrating on the struggle for the crown prince, may not be able to react immediately.
Then there are Dai family brothers and sisters in Village 72. Yuechen and Huo Luo are responsible for contacting them. They have to prepare for the next fight against the Ministry of War and gaining military power.
The news was received very soon, because it was earlier than the original plan, so the Dai family siblings had not completely won the 72 village, but the Dai family siblings have also honed it out, and at least half of the 72 village is in their hands. Things, even if we are not of one mind, we will fight together.
So soon, it was rumored that the people from Village 72 slaughtered the local officials. In fact, it was the dog officials who were reserved for this time. The dog officials were regarded as people from the capital, so they naturally had intricate relationships, so the news soon spread to the court. .
The 72 village itself is a serious disease in the southwest. The court tried to deal with it several times, but ended up hastily because of various reasons. This time, they dared to directly kill the officials ordered by the court. This is not something ordinary bandits would dare to do. , already has the meaning of confronting the court.This is naturally unbearable, and troops must be sent to fight immediately.
Moreover, the emperor also felt that this was an opportunity, as long as a victory was won, the people's hearts could be saved, so he took active actions and began to dispatch the surrounding garrisons to attack the 72nd village. Every time at this time, he would send an official from the Ministry of War to coordinate matters .
As a result, news came a few days later that 5000 men and horses returned home without bloodshed, and the officials of the Ministry of War were still captured. will fail.
The emperor didn't expect to be defeated at the very beginning, so he immediately took the military department into trouble. Naturally, the military department was not reconciled, so he sent a general of his own to lead [-] troops to attack, but the result was still a disastrous defeat.
This time the emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and directly took out his trump card, pinning his hopes on Huo Luo.
Huo Luo's appearance was slow now, and he was not in a hurry to fight, but directly attacked the military department as soon as he came out. After all, he had lost twice in a row, and everyone wanted to find out the reason. Huo Luo directly said that he would not find out, and he himself I dare not go out to fight, for fear of being dragged to death by my own people. This is a direct confrontation with the Ministry of War.
But now they don't have the confidence to make a noise, so under the investigation of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a shocking incident soon surfaced.
The Ministry of War actually concealed ordnance, which is a more serious crime than dereliction of duty, which can be directly attributed to the crime of rebellion.
Cheng Shangshu was taken off his black hat immediately. He is Yuan Ye's cousin. The first reaction was that Yuan Ye took the opportunity to put them together again, because at first they thought it was Yuan Ye who was investigating the privately hidden ordnance, but later because they The reconciliation was over, thinking that the matter was over.Now it has been turned over again.
This is not something ordinary people can know, unless they are particularly familiar with Cheng's situation.
So they could only doubt Yuan Ye, and they all thought that Yuan Ye was crazy to ruin his support in the court like this.
On the other hand, Yuan Ye thought that they were big-hearted, and they showed such a big trick to be caught. Naturally, the two parties who did not trust each other were more likely to have doubts.
Cheng didn't believe Yuan Ye, so she could only ask Empress Cheng for help, but Empress Cheng hadn't gotten out of the shadow of miscarriage and pain, so she couldn't control them at all.
Yuan Ye didn't want to intervene at all. If he was investigated and thought he ordered Cheng to hide the arms, wouldn't it mean he rebelled?Although he already had this intention, he was not caught in this way.Seeing Cheng's running around, Yuan Ye directly talked to his grandfather, hoping that they would quickly decide to cut their arms to survive.So as not to implicate him.
They should all know that this time, the Ministry of War is about to be finished, at least the foundation can be left to develop slowly. The patriarch of the Cheng clan still looks at Yuan Ye suspiciously, and he is no longer able to judge who is harming them.Or is it all a coincidence?After all, no matter how they thought about it, they would never have imagined that building a 72 village could cause so many problems.
The patriarch of the Cheng clan had no choice but to have someone inform Cheng Shangshu that it was time to confess.
After all, Cheng Shangshu is a member of the Cheng clan, and he will never drag the clan when it should not be dragged down. He quickly pleaded guilty, admitting that he was greedy and wanted to make profits by buying and selling weapons.Only about him.
Even though he said so, everyone in the Cheng family in the Ministry of War received a fatal blow.The failure of the 72 villages before was also attributed to their greed for ink.The entire military department must be reorganized.
Now Wei Guogong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is helping to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of War. After all, it costs money. Wei Guogong sent his own capable men to help coordinate.This time Huo Luo was satisfied.
With a big wave of his hand this time, the emperor directly gave Huo Luo an army of 72, ordering him to wipe out the [-] villages.
In addition to the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in the north that were originally within the sphere of influence of the Huo family army, Huo Luo's military power totaled [-].
Zhao Cheng still has [-] troops in the east, and the emperor has [-] under his control. As long as Zhao Cheng dies, Huo Luo will have an absolutely overwhelming force.After all, the strength of the emperor's subordinates must not be able to match the Huo family's army that has been fighting on the battlefield.
Chu Lishu originally planned to hope that the soldiers would be bloodless, but if the emperor reacted and wanted to fight to the death, he would have to go to war.
A few days later, Huo Luo set off with Yue Chen. After all, they were ready to 'rebel' at any time. It was a backup plan. If it was really implemented, Huo Luo alone would not be enough. Yue Chen must be there. He conspires.
[Second task set, task 24: Help the hero to complete the cleaning of the military department, reward points 300 points, a total of 2900 points, plot progress: 92%. 】
After bidding farewell to Huo Luo and Yuechen, Chu Lishu began his final sniper attack on Cheng.
On the other hand, the patriarch of the Cheng clan remembered what he heard when he met Cheng Shangshu before. Cheng Shangshu suspected that everything was a conspiracy, because they let Yuan Ye know their background, and Yuan Ye cooperated with the emperor to deal with them. Think about the previous big clans Aren't they all paid up unknowingly?Now if even their Cheng family is defeated, that would be in the best interest of the emperor, those who become emperors don't like being coerced by the clan.
The patriarch of the Cheng clan didn't believe this set of suspicions, because he didn't believe that the current emperor had the power to plan everything secretly. Their three major clans were not so easy to deal with. Did they fall into an emperor they supported together?
But imagining the fate of the other two clans, an inexplicable chill swept over the whole body, and the patriarch of the Cheng clan still had lingering fears, at least they still had their roots.
As a result, just after arranging the funeral of those clansmen, they heard that something happened from the clansmen below.
Originally, only a few came to report occasionally, but the business in their hands could not continue, the relationship network they established was replaced, and their house deed and land deed were bought at a low price. At first, they thought it was their individual failure. After all, it is impossible for all members of the Cheng clan to be excellent.There are always a few that don't work.
But it wasn't until they finished dealing with the affairs of the imperial court in the capital that they found that the books of all parties were already red, and it wasn't until their largest chambers of commerce were attacked that they immediately started to react.But it was too late, like a toppled building, manpower could no longer stop it.
However, within a month, the Cheng family seemed to have only a huge frame left. If you want money, you don’t have money, and if you want power, you don’t have power. But it was a drop in the bucket, his ability was limited, and his body got worse if he was not careful.And Yuan Ye also understands that if the Cheng family is finished, he will lose a lot of help, so he naturally wants to help.
But once he helps, the unlucky ones will be his subordinates. He doesn't know whether it is Cheng who is diverting their own troubles, or someone is really attacking him. Under Jing Rouyin's instigation, Yuan Ye began to swell, He thought that he could do without Cheng, so he simply cut off everything and sought to protect himself first.
The patriarch of the Cheng clan has already found out that it was the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce who targeted them. Thinking of the network behind the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce, he suspected that Prime Minister Li was dealing with them. That's it, Yuan Ye didn't help.Seeing that he could not be rescued, he came to the East Palace and scolded Yuan Ye for his short-sightedness.But he didn't dare to really take revenge on Yuan Ye, not because he was afraid of him, but because he knew that once Yuan Ye came to the throne in the future, their Cheng family would still be saved, so they could only hope that Yuan Ye was well, there was no other way.
Fortunately, their backbone members are still there. As long as nothing happens to them, everything can start all over again.
Cheng planned to leave the capital first to recuperate.
But never thought that Yuan Ye was suddenly assassinated in retaliation, and left clues pointing to the Cheng family who had conflicts with him. How could the powerful royal family tolerate such provocations from others? Yuan Ye thought that he would not be taught a big lesson. People don't behave well, so while Cheng was leaving by boat, he planned to burn their boat and kill a few people as a warning and revenge.
