Wei and Jin Cooks

Seeing that his attitude softened, Yuan Li immediately pushed him back a certain distance, letting his personal guards stand between the father and son, and continued to persuade: "Now that the king is captured, he can no longer hurt you, then you can It’s time to think about how to solve the predicament and give an explanation to yourself and those who follow you. Killing him now will only vent your anger, but there is no other benefit at all.”

"Look at the brothers and followers around you. They are following you to do such a big thing. Do you want them to risk their lives?"

Su Hexiong and Tuoba Suzhou immediately looked at Tuoba Liuxiu with tears in their eyes, "The eldest prince..."

Tuoba Liuxiu opened his mouth, tears rolled down, and the anger in his chest receded like a tide.

Yuan Li sighed, stroked his shoulder and said, "Just to care for your Madam Zao and Your Majesty, you should endure the anger in your heart. If you kill the King, even if Your Majesty does not send troops, the Second Prince will not If we let you go, the thirty-two tribes that follow King Dai will not let you go either."

Tuoba Liuxiu's bulging arms completely relaxed, he lowered his hands and knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "My mother-in-law is dead, my mother-in-law is dead..."

 Tuoba Yilu looked at him blankly. His most beloved son was also dead...

Tuoba Yi and Lu burst into tears.

Yuan Li saw it and felt contempt in his heart. He regretted it now. Is it too late? At the same time, he was alert in his heart. For an emperor, if he could not favor his direct descendants, there would be endless troubles.

 After Tuoba Liuxiu finished crying, Yuan Li proposed that he should guard and imprison Tuoba Yilu.

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator wiped his face with his big palm, wiped away all the tears and snot, and asked: "How will aunt handle this matter?"

Yuan Li said: "The official came in a hurry. Your Majesty didn't know the details. I was afraid that you had made a big mistake and couldn't change it, so I sent the official here in a hurry without explaining how to deal with it."

“But His Majesty is about to ascend the throne, and the eldest prince and the acting king are going to Beijing to congratulate each other. Why not go to Beijing together to seek His Majesty’s judgment?”

Tuoba Liuxiu remained silent.

Su Hexiong moved lightly and asked him what he was most worried about, "Will Your Majesty bring the king back to Pingcheng?"

Yuan Liyi pointedly said: "My eldest prince, there are people who are partial on behalf of the king, and your Majesty also has some."

The person Zhao Hanzhang has always been partial to is naturally Tuoba Liuxiu.

Although she was sworn to be Tuoba Yilu, the two sworn brothers and sisters each had their own little ones and could not be honest. Tuoba Yilu had three sons, and Zhao Hanzhang's treatment of the three nephews was also different because of their relationship with Tuoba Yilu. And different.

This is not Zhao Hanzhang's unilateral choice. Maintaining a relationship always requires mutual testing and two-way choices.

 In the end, Zhao Hanzhang had the closest contact with Tuoba Liuxiu and had the deepest feelings. Naturally, it was their two-way choice.

 She did not choose Tuoba Pusugen, the final winner among the three brothers, but Tuoba Liuxiu because she saw infinite possibilities in him.

Because of Yuan Li's words, Tuoba Liuxiu accepted his suggestion and decided to take Tuoba Yilu to the capital to ask the emperor to adjudicate this father-son lawsuit.

He also gave the bottom line, "If my aunt is in trouble, I don't have to go back to Daiguo, but I will take all the people in Xinping City away, and I am willing to be driven by my aunt."

Yuan Li was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the eldest prince. Although it is difficult for an upright official to deal with family affairs, your Majesty is different from ordinary people. She has been given by heaven. She will definitely be able to deal with your family affairs clearly and will never let you be wronged."

So Tuoba Liuxiu began to prepare to bring people to Beijing.

Yuan Li will naturally not let him bring too many people to the capital. Even if he is trusted, he still has to abide by the rules.

 So he could only take two hundred people with him.

Tuoba Liuxiu was very worried and asked: "What should I do in Xinping City? My second brother has an army of 100,000. He should have received the news. If he sends an army to come back for reinforcements, and I am not in Xinping City..."

"Don't worry, the eldest prince. The imperial edict to end the war should have been sent to his army. You have brought the king to the capital. He should not dare to act rashly," Yuan Li said: "Besides, there are General Beigong and Governor Shi."

Shi Le originally wanted to go to the capital to watch the excitement. He was ready to leave, but before leaving, he received a telegram from Zhao Hanzhang.

Although he wanted to go to the capital to join in the fun, it was also interesting to watch Tuoba and his son having fun, so when Xianbei and his son were caught in love and hatred, Shi Le quietly led the army into the Kingdom of Dai.

　　When the father and son were fighting each other, he also took advantage of their unpreparedness and quickly conquered three cities in a row.

 Because of the long distance, military reports have not yet reached Pingcheng and Xinpingcheng.

In fact, if Zhao Hanzhang hadn't sent two telegrams to scold him, Shi Le could have captured more cities. He originally wanted to bite off the eight counties close to Dai Guo.

Pity…

Bei Gongchun did not hesitate to make concessions. Linghu Sheng led an army into Dai Kingdom. However, he did not attack the city and captured the territory, but remained silent.

After Yuan Li persuaded Tuoba Liuxiu, Tuoba Liuxiu issued an order and sent people to respond. Linghu Sheng's people marched straight in and stationed themselves fifty miles northwest of Xinping City, which is only a hundred miles away from Pingcheng. The location can be reached by a large army in a day.

Tuoba Pu Sugen didn't know that he was being taken out of the way. He didn't have the telegraph speed. He received the news that Mrs. Zao was deposed, and also received the news that his father was tormenting his eldest brother...

He remained silent. As a son, he had absolutely no control over his father's actions, so he just pretended not to know.

Although he was a little dissatisfied and felt that his father had gone too far for the sake of the third child, he was his father, so what could he do?

 But he never expected that things would end up like this.

Tuoba Yilu did not announce the death of Tuoba Biyan, and also concealed the assassination in the palace, so Tuoba Pu Sugen, who was guarding the border, was slow to receive the news.

By the time he heard that his father claimed that his eldest brother was disrespectful and unfilial, and wanted to send a large army to attack his eldest brother, his father had already sent out troops.

He was still struggling at that time: should he continue to pretend to be deaf or dumb, or should he give some advice?

However, he felt that this matter would probably not be dissuaded.

　　I struggled for two days, but before I could make up my mind, I suddenly received the news that his father had sent troops. Not only did he send troops, he also failed!

　Just one day!

 One battle determines the outcome!

Tuoba Pu Sugen was shocked and quickly summoned his generals to discuss whether they should go back to rescue people or continue to guard the border as if nothing had happened.

 If we go back, how many people need to be left behind, how many people need to be taken away, and to what extent we need to fight...

 Before the discussion was settled, an angel came from the other side.

Although they coveted the city and land on the opposite side and hoarded a large number of soldiers and grain here, they still belonged to Zhao Hanzhang and were a vassal state.

 So when an angel came from the opposite side, Tuoba Pu Sugen could only receive him warmly. The angel is Huang An, who came to convey Zhao Hanzhang's order, "...Father and son are jealous of each other, and brothers kill each other. This is a great rebellion in human relations. Everyone is deeply hurt when they hear about it. Therefore, the king and his eldest prince are ordered to come to the capital immediately to bring order to the chaos and restore morality and human relations. …”

Tuoba Pu Sugen looked confused. Why was this decree announced to him? His father and eldest brother were not here.

But as one of the family members, Tuoba Pu Sugen could only accept the order, and then Huang An said, "The second prince, Dai Wang and the eldest prince have already set off for the capital. The country of Dai needs someone to take charge of the chaos. Your Majesty General Beigong and General Shi are ordered to assist the second prince in temporarily handling state affairs."

Tuoba Pu Sugen's expression changed and he declined: "Although there is chaos, there are still good ministers such as Ji Dan in the country. Since my father and eldest brother have come to Beijing, the chaos has been settled. Why do we still need two people in a small land?" A general and assistant general?"

Huang An glanced at him and said: "Although King Dai and the eldest prince have entered the capital, the people are frightened by this, and the territory of Dai is not stable. The third prince may not know yet, Ji Dan is not in Pingcheng now."

Where is it if not Pingcheng?

Huang An said meaningfully: "Third Prince, Your Majesty gave this order for the good of Daiguo. Most of the thirty-two tribes were suppressed by the troops led by Daiwang, and the rest were persuaded to surrender. This time, Daiwang was defeated, and Daiguo's title has not yet been determined. , people’s hearts are uncertain, will they really not cause chaos?”

"Don't just see the swords in front of you and forget the cold arrows behind you. After all, General Beigong and General Shi still have His Majesty on their heads. Your Majesty and King Dai are sworn brothers and sisters, and they will never let Dai Wang. Guotai suffers."

 Tuoba Pu Sugen didn't believe a word he said.

He has seen how his father calculated the territory of his cheap aunt, and he has also seen how his cheap aunt was wary of his father. How could he not take the opportunity to add insult to injury?

As soon as Huang An left, Tuoba Pu Sugen decided to divide two armies, one to return to guard Pingcheng, and the other to go to Xinping City, taking the opportunity to capture Xinping City, twist Dai Guo into a rope again, and investigate at the same time. The specific situation of his father.

 Although the imperial edict said that his father and eldest brother had gone to the capital, he still had to be skeptical.

At the same time, he sent people to appease various ministries and collect information from them. He was still very afraid that Bei Gongjun would take advantage of the situation, so he continued to guard the border.

 Then, the army going to Xinping City was stopped by the Xiliang army halfway.

Tuoba Pu Sugen was completely stunned and asked: "Why did the Xiliang army in Bingzhou come to our rear?"

"It was the eldest prince who cooperated with them inside and outside and opened the channel. We didn't receive any news at all."

Before Tuoba Pu Sugen could grit his teeth, news from Pingcheng was quickly delivered, and it was even worse, "What did you say? Pingcheng has almost become an empty city? Jidan disappeared with 30,000 households around Pingcheng?"

"Do you want to listen to what you said? Thirty thousand households, not three households, how could so many people disappear out of thin air? Where is General Wei? He is the left guard general of my father. Doesn't he know anything about Pingcheng? ?"

"General Wei followed the king on the expedition, but was also dispersed. Now he does not know whether he is alive or dead."

Bad news came one after another, "Second prince, Baibe Xianbei has rebelled and has occupied the three cities of Loufan, Mayi and Yinguan. Other tribes are also ready to move and are colluding with Baibe Xianbei."

"The second prince, Shi Le, Shi Le entered the Kingdom of Dai and conquered three cities including Fanju and Guoxian..."

Tuoba Pu Sugen's brain was blown. At this moment, he finally couldn't help complaining to Tuoba Yilu, "Why does father have to send troops to fight against my eldest brother?"

Of course he would not say why his eldest brother resisted his father. He would be a coward if he stood and was beaten.

At this time, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator did not kill Tuoba Yilu. In his heart, his brother was more reasonable.

 Other tribes and officials of Dai State also thought so. Therefore, there were tribes who took the opportunity to rebel, but they were still within the controllable range and within the controllable range of Zhao Hanzhang.

At this moment, Tuoba Pu Sugen finally understood Huang An's hint.

If he takes advantage of the gap between Tuoba Yilu and Tuoba Liuxiu to go to the capital to seize Dai, Beigong Chun and Shi Le will send troops at the same time. By then, he will not only have to deal with domestic rebellions, but also two powerful enemies.

At this time, he could only cooperate with Beigong Chunshi Le and obey Zhao Hanzhang's dispatch, so that he could have the energy to put down the rebellion of the Bai tribe, Xianbei and other tribes.

Tuoba Pu Sugen gritted his teeth and finally chose to obey the order. He sent someone to invite Beigong Chun to discuss matters together. At the same time, he sent a letter to Shi Le in the northeast, asking him to help maintain stability in the northeastern area of ​​​​Dai.

As for the three cities he occupied, Tuoba Pu Sugen just pretended not to know.

Shi Le felt sorry for a while after receiving his letter, and said to Zhang Bin: "He is too obedient. It would be great if he sent troops to beat me in anger, or wrote a letter to scold me."

Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Please don't be provocative. The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, so you should be more cautious."

Shi Le asked curiously: "Do you think the new emperor of Zhao... will let Tuoba Liuxiu inherit the Dai Kingdom, or take back the Dai Kingdom? If it is the former, the three cities I captured will not be returned."

After saying that, he still felt a little regretful, "The boys ran too slowly and only captured three cities. Alas, if Baibe Xianbei hadn't rebelled and we captured those three cities first, we could actually have captured two more." "

Zhang Bing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "When the new emperor ascends the throne, she will naturally favor all the vassal states. Even if there is a reason for father and son to fight against each other, she will choose one person to inherit the title."

Shi Le nodded, he thought the same thing, "The throne will most likely fall on Tuoba Sixth Cultivator. Tuoba Yilu will either be killed or banned. If she plays like this, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator will only follow her lead in the future."

Shi Le said with infinite regret, "Dai Guo still hasn't returned to Youzhou."

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I have forgotten that the new emperor cherishes the people very much and the people of the country are suffering. However, I feel that when the country returns to Youzhou, at least, it will never be as harsh as when Tuoba Yilu was governing. Law."

Shi Le was very convinced of Zhang Bin and never doubted his vision. He asked with bright eyes: "How can this be operated?"

 Zhang Bin shook his head, "I don't know."

 But he believed that Zhao Hanzhang should be able to come up with a solution.

 Zhao Hanzhang was already ready.

As soon as Yuan Li sent a telegram back saying that Tuoba Liuxiu was willing to bring Tuoba Yilu to the capital, she immediately closed the case in her mind.

Of course, in order to make it legal and reasonable, she also convened a three-day meeting with all her close ministers.

Finally, everyone finally found a legal, reasonable and reasonable explanation for the immoral (ahem) method she came up with.

Zhao Hanzhang did not feel that his method was immoral. In later dynasties, it was normal for the princes to be restrained.

The fiefdom is still managed by the court, and you can only use part of the tax revenue. This is already a meritorious service, okay? Where is the bad virtue?

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the father and son to enter Beijing.

 Two chapters combined into one
