"Is His Majesty going to give me another sharp edge? He has always distrusted me as the Crown Prince!"
"I am already old. I have been told to let me take over the regency, but I have been obsessed with everything and have been on guard against me all the time."
"After all these years, I really can't bear it anymore!"
Yin Zhao had put down the spinning wheel in his hand, stood up, and a ferocious and angry expression appeared on his face.
Maybe this is his true side.
And this side of him is something that only Wei Qian can see, which is enough to illustrate Wei Qian's status in Yin Zhao's heart and the entire Eastern Palace.
"Your Highness, please calm down. We've endured all these years. These things are nowhere near as dangerous as they were back then. If His Majesty wants to try, let him do it. We've dealt with these things for a long time."
Wei Qian said with confidence.
"Then what's the meaning of you bringing this person from the Zhou family here?" Yin Zhao was a little confused by Wei Qian.
"While His Majesty is testing Your Highness, it seems that he is also testing someone else!" Wei Qian said with a smile.
"Who? Yin Ji? Is this necessary?" Yin Zhao's face turned cold when he heard it.
It is true that he is the eldest son, and he has been sitting on the throne of the crown prince for thirty years.
However, he has a fatal shortcoming.
Yin Zhao tried his best to have children, and the Crown Princess and concubines also tried very hard. They gave birth to a bunch of daughters but not a single son.
He complained about the unfairness of fate and why he was not given a son.
Over the years, in order to have a son, Yin Zhao worked diligently every night, but he ended up breaking the plow.
From then on, Yin Zhao gave up the idea of having a son, and Emperor Yongchang also agreed to adopt one from other princes.
But Yin Zhao took a fancy to Yin Ji, but he happened to be the son of the Ninth Prince, whom he disliked the most.
Now when Yin Zhao heard Wei Qian say that Emperor Yongchang was going to test someone again, the first person he thought of was Yin Ji.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time." Wei Qian smiled faintly.
Yin Zhao asked in confusion, "Who does Father want to test alone?"
"The captain who was promoted from a small soldier in the border army, Zhao Muyun!" Wei Qian said firmly.
Yin Zhao was surprised and said, "Him? No way! Is it necessary for Father to do this?"
"Your Majesty chose to let the rumors about Zhao Muyun run wild. In my opinion, it must be because you feel that Zhao Muyun's promotion was too rapid and he needs some time to settle down."
"If Zhao Muyun can survive this, His Majesty will focus on training him and allow him to become a new generation of military generals, competing against the sons of noble families."
"He's just a general. Does your Majesty need to spend so much energy on him?" Yin Zhao asked puzzledly.
"This man will be trained to become an outstanding commander of an army and will be your right-hand man in the future."
"And he was tacitly allowed by His Majesty to be with Yinji. His Majesty deliberately kept a trick up his sleeve! Your Highness should learn this art of the emperor well."
Wei Qian told the story slowly and leisurely.
"But, Wei Xima, you still haven't said anything about the Zhou family!" Yin Zhao asked in confusion.
"The Zhou family isn't just the Zhou family. There's also the Salt and Iron Bureau and the other princes behind them." Wei Qian said calmly, "If His Majesty wants to have fun this time, let's have some fun with him!"
"Therefore, the Zhou family..." Yin Zhao seemed to have figured something out.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll take care of all this!"
"Okay, Wei Xima, then you must not let me down."
......
In the capital of Dayin, turmoil is brewing.
Zhao Muyun was caught up in the power game among various forces.
He knew nothing about it, but he could do nothing about it.
When he was a small soldier in the border army, he was like a chess piece.
But after becoming a captain, he passively became a pawn.
However, he may have changed from a pawn who could only move forward bravely to a linked horse, a lead cannon or a deadly chariot!
Right now.
It rained heavily in Weizhou for more than ten days. Everything was wet and sticky, which was very uncomfortable.
The same thing happened to Zhao Muyun in the big tent.
The floor of the big tent was covered in mud due to the frequent comings and goings of people reporting on their work.
Guard Li Si and others were very worried and had to clean every day.
But Zhao Muyun looked at the drizzle outside the tent, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise:
"The dam behind the barrier lake must be full of water!"
"If this massive mountain torrent continues pouring down, King Zhelan and his army will be swallowed up in no time."
The day before yesterday, Lin Feng, who was in charge of repairing the river embankment, sent someone to report that the collapsed area of the landslide lake had been dug to the limit.
If we dig deeper, the pressure generated by millions of cubic meters of stored water will be enough to break the landslide without releasing water from the dam above.
Zhao Muyun immediately ordered Lin Feng to stop working, and a thousand people rested and waited nearby.
"grown ups!"
Tang Yanhai rushed in hurriedly, splashing mud on the ground high. Li Si and others frowned.
Zhao Muyun smiled and asked, "Old Tang, how's it going? Is there any news from the Tartars?"
"That's right, sir! The desert has sent 10,000 troops, rushing towards Weizhou overnight." Tang Yanhai panted, "They've already passed Yunzhou and will soon enter Weizhou!"
"Haha, the Northern Di Chanyu is willing to spend a lot of money this time! He actually sent 10,000 people here!" Zhao Muyun's eyes lit up when he heard it.
It would be a pity that this flood only submerged King Zhelan. Zhao Muyun was a bit greedy.
So he sent Wang Tiezhu to the Shuozhou prison and asked Subutai to write a heartfelt letter asking for help, saying that he was besieged by tens of thousands of Dayin troops and needed help.
Then find a few Tartar captives and send the letter back to the desert to lure the Northern Di Chanyu to send as many troops as possible to rescue.
However, King Zhelan followed Huyan Gu's advice and sent people to the Northern Di Chanyu to ask him to send more troops.
However, the content of his letter was completely different from what Subuchi wrote. It said that Subuchi's 5,000-strong army was discovered and killed by the Dayin army at Feihu Ridge, and the entire army was wiped out, and Subuchi also died in the battle.
The Chanyu of Beidi must have been very disturbed by these two letters, not knowing who to believe.
But it doesn’t matter who you believe in. What matters is that Subutai must have encountered problems.
You know, there are five thousand soldiers!
One fortieth of the Northern Di Chanyu’s 200,000-strong army!
How could he tolerate such a huge loss?
However, King Zhelan was tied up in Weizhou again. If he wanted to rescue Jochi and his 5,000 troops, or avenge them, the Northern Di Chanyu could only send troops himself.
So he asked King Loufan to lead 10,000 troops to come to Weizhou to participate in the war.
King Loufan was the leader of a large tribe that lived in the southern steppes of the desert, north of the Daqing Mountains, near the Chahan Lake.
The tribe has a large population and tens of thousands of cavalrymen. Like King Zhelan, he is also a commander of tens of thousands of cavalrymen in Beidi!
But compared with King Zhelan, King Loufan had a closer relationship with the Chanyu of Beidi.
Upon receiving the order from the Chanyu, King Loufan led 10,000 cavalrymen through the river valley of Daqing Mountain like a tide and rushed to Weizhou without saying a word.
It was raining in Weizhou, but in Yunzhou the wind was light and the clouds were clear, and the sun was shining brightly.
It took less than five days for the 10,000 cavalrymen to cross Yunzhou and enter Weizhou.
