Chapter 44 Nightmare of Historical conspiracy Film
After all, Cheng Yu is a king, and it is too dangerous to stay in the original capital city in his present capacity. After reaching an agreement with du Yan, Cheng Yu left his country the next day and returned to Chengguo to prepare for the follow-up.
In February, Jiang Chengguo, who had been eyeing covetously for a long time, declared war on his country of origin.
In March, the war on the frontier fell into a stalemate.
Cheng Yu's plan went well, but du Yan encountered a lot of trouble. An extremely important part of the plan, his grandfather, the general, refused to cooperate.
The queen handed du Yan a secret letter, which was handwritten by a great general from the frontier, and made it clear that he wanted du Yan to open it himself.
Du Yan did not shy away from the queen and began to read it carefully, and the meaning of the book was not beyond his plan. What is said in the letter is generally a matter of loyalty and patriotism.
The general said that Yuan Chueh was now banned in a circle, and the rest of the princes were still young, and no one could compete with him for the throne. Du Yan was advised not to act in haste, so as not to fall into the eternal notoriety of regicide of his father.
After reading it, du Yan folded the letter paper and lit it on the oil lamp: "Mother need not worry. I had expected that my grandparents would not compromise so easily." I heard that my grandfather also sent a letter to my uncle. what did it say? "
The queen sighed softly: "the letter my father sent to his brother is much harsher than the one you have at hand. He scolded his brother in it."
Du Yan smiled and said, "my grandfather is still so upright, it doesn't matter. I'll convince him."
Hearing the words, the queen sighed, "at the moment, only you can convince your father that you are the only one who can make him back down a little bit since he was a child."
General Wu Qi's hot character is well known. He is upright and stubborn, but he only treats du Yan differently.
The queen was about to pick up paper and pen, but she was stopped by du Yan: "Grandma, this is very important. I'm going to see my grandfather."
At the beginning, the great general once stood side by side with the former king to lay down the hegemonic position of the original country, and he had a deep friendship with the former king, and he was loyal to the former king.
It's just that after the original king ascended the throne, many suspicions about the general have been slowly dispersing the military power of the Wu family.
Although the general is straight-tempered, he is not a fool. For the sake of King Anyuan's heart and to show his loyalty, he married his daughter to the original King and left his son in the capital to be responsible for the city defense.
On the surface, a son and a daughter look infinitely beautiful, but in fact, they are all to appease the hostages left by the original king in the capital.
Even so, the narrow-minded Original King still regarded the Wu family as a thorn in the side of the flesh, but the du Yan brothers and sisters were not the first child conceived by the queen.
When the queen was pregnant with her first child, a medical officer cut the pulse and said that ten of the fetuses were a prince. Soon after, the queen gave birth for some reason, although the wife who started after that was demoted as a common man by the original king.
However, the queen later investigated the truth and found out that the lady was nothing but a knife in the hands of the original king, and in fact the mastermind behind it was the original king. It was only then that she gave birth to a dragon and Phoenix fetus, but the queen pretended to be a woman to raise du Yan.
This matter left a shadow in the loyal heart of the general, even though he still guarded the frontier for his country, he inevitably felt a little resentful in his heart. Although the secret letter he sent back was fierce, it was not so much a rebuke to Lieutenant Wu, it was better to warn himself with such words.
What du Yan needs to do now is to become the last blow to defeat the general's morale and defense.
When the queen heard that du Yan said she would go to the frontier in person, she was a little worried: "it's a long way to go. In what name will you leave the palace so as not to arouse the king's suspicion?"
Now that the war in the frontier is urgent and the general has a large army, the former king's fear of the Wu family has reached its zenith. If there is any change in the queen or Lieutenant Wu who remains in the capital, it will arouse his vigilance.
"now that there is a stalemate in the war, it is a good time to go to Qizi, Yin and Yang, to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings." Du Yan said, "the king will not allow his mother to leave. I am naturally the one who will not give way."
"according to what you said, I will repair the book and send a letter to Qi Zi."
A few days later, worried about the war in the frontier, the eldest princess went to rest at Qizi in Yin and Yang to pray for the country.
Licheng, which is the southernmost county city of the original country, is the territory of Jiangguo over the mountains.
Today, the army of the original country is stationed 30 miles away from Licheng, confronting the allied forces of the two countries across the mountain.
The war has reached an impasse for some time, and the granary in Licheng has bottomed out and will not be able to supply the demand of the army. Just at this time, food supplies from the capital reached the border.
The county guard of Licheng was ecstatic and said he wanted to live well and entertain the transport officer who brought life-saving food and supplies. However, the transportation officer said that the emissary from the capital went to the army camp to give orders, and everything needed to be discussed when the emissary came back.
At the same time, the cloaked emissary of the original king, in charge of the king's order, went straight into the army camp and entered the handsome account of the center.
The general was standing in front of the map, studying the situation of the war, and when he heard that an envoy from the capital was coming, he put down his business and greeted him. Those who don't want to come in are people in cloaks who seem to hide their heads and show their tails.
All his life in the army, the general immediately realized that something was wrong. With his right hand, he pressed the dagger on his waist and drank, "who are you? why does the capital come to hide your head and show its tail?"
The newcomer did not panic, but slowly opened his cloak, revealing a handsome face: "Grandpa."
The general was stupefied, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then reluctantly called out, "Yan er?"
No wonder the general failed to recognize his grandson for a while. He had been stationed in the border area for a long time, and the last time he met du Yan was when he was ten years old.
That is du Yan, still dressed as a girl, standing with Yuan Ning is a pair of twin sisters.
Now in front of the youth, dressed in a black brocade robe, face camouflage, dark complexion, eyebrows flying into the temples, posture as tall and straight as loose. No one standing here can see that this man is the domineering eldest princess of the capital.
The general withdrew his hand from his waist and wanted to go outside the account to see if it was convenient to speak at this time.
Du Yan saw his intention and said, "my grandfather can rest assured that what is outside the tent is my heart, and I can rest assured."
The general then opened his mouth and asked, "this is a time of war in the border areas. What are you doing here?"
"Grandpa, Yan is no longer a child and knows the importance of things." Du Yan said, "I'm here to be a lobbyist."
The general was impatient, and his eyebrows stood up. "if you want to put forward those ridiculous things like your uncle, go out to me now." Lest I kick you out of the account myself later. "
Du Yan was not annoyed, but the old god went to the ground and sat down: "Grandpa, please sit down." I brought good wine from the capital. "
The general frowned slightly and sat down with some anger.
Du Yan gave a gentle high-five and someone brought in several altars of wine.
After the man retired, du Yan said, "it is not advisable to drink too much in the barracks. Let's have a drink between our grandparents and grandchildren."
The general nodded and took out two bronze barons from several cases. It was only after the two had had a drink that they got to the point.
The general said: "your uncle acted too rashly, forcing the palace is not good is to copy the family to destroy the family, you do not listen to his nonsense."
Du Yan said, "Grandpa, these are all my tricks, and my uncle is just following my plan."
As soon as the general heard this, his thick eyebrows frowned tightly and wanted to shoot the case and scold angrily. But when he thought of his grandson, he was forced to raise him as a woman from an early age, and he always felt sorry for him.
When du Yan saw that the general reluctantly suppressed his anger, he knew that what had happened today was done.
"do you know that what you are planning is a rebellious and rebellious attempt to kill your father?"
"Yan knows." Du Yan responded indifferently and raised his hand to pour the wine. "Grandpa thought, where should the Wu family go?"
"the king is only forty now, and I am sixteen, though I can survive to this day by pretending to be a woman. As a result of the great change in my body shape and voice, I can no longer hide my identity. "
The general said, "when Chengguo tore up the covenant and made an alliance with Jiangguo, the king did not dare to touch my Wu family easily."
"if we win this battle, the hegemony of our country has been determined, and the birds will do their best to hide. If defeated, it would be to sever the land for peace, and the general should be a sinner of the country. There is not much time left for the Wu family. "
Du Yan picked up the Bronze Lord and drank it: "Grandpa, let me ask you again, what is your allegiance?"
The general did not answer directly, but said, "I just don't want to bear the name of eternity on top of the history books."
Du Yan smiled, "if the Wu family falls, what you have on your back is eternal notoriety." History books are always written by winners. "
The general fell silent and drank three drinks in a row. Du Yan knew that the most critical time had come.
He gave another gentle high-five, and someone came in.
A bundle of people who were tightly tied up and fell into a coma were thrown to the ground awkwardly.
"Grandpa, look, did you ever know this man?"
When the general heard the words, he was surprised again: "this is the emissary that the king usually uses to convey the king's orders."
"this time I took his place and came here in the convoy of grain and forage." Du Yan took out a secret letter from his skirt. "this letter is the secret order of the king, but the person who received it is not your grandfather, but a deputy general in the army."
The general knew for a long time that the vice general was the man of the original king, just to calm the king's heart. He always pretended that he did not know about it and let the deputy report the situation to the original king.
The general took the secret letter and unfolded it. He was very familiar with the handwriting on the paper, and the private seal at the end was the jade wrench the king wore on his thumb and never left.
The content of the secret letter was so simple that the deputy general falsified the evidence of the general's adultery with the enemy and put all the sins of the stalemate in the war on the senior general.
Du Yan looked at the general's fingers trembling slightly and his face looked a little tired. He did not make a sound again, but lowered his eyes and looked at the Bronze Lord in his hand.
After a long time, the general said, "according to your plan, how to deal with this emissary."
Du Yan smiled. He knew the general's pun, and the purpose of this trip had been achieved: "isn't it normal that the general was defeated and the emissary was killed in chaos?"
