Chapter 281 The Taste of Power
Wu De took a long nap and didn't get up until the sun was up.
Going out of the house, I stretched my body for a long time. Ignoring the surprised looks of the Black Ice Platform staff who were coming and going, I walked directly to the bushes and grabbed a handful of snow. I rubbed my face for a while, then broke off an ice cube and held it in my mouth for a while, then I washed my face and brushed my teeth.
Don’t be in a hurry.
It doesn’t matter.
Luo Ying brought him breakfast.
The meals Hei Bingtai prepared for his subordinates were naturally not very good. They included two steamed buns, a bowl of millet porridge, and a plate of pickles. For someone like Wu De, there was an extra salted fish.
“Is Dayin back?”
“No!”
“Is Deputy Yin back?”
"No! But I heard this morning that the Prime Minister of Wei entered the city from the west gate and returned home yesterday. He should go to the imperial city for work today!"
As he spoke, Wu De had already left the house as if he was gone. Luo Ying ate everything cleanly and even licked the porridge bowl, which made Luo Ying look a little dazed.
When I went out yesterday, I still looked worried about the country and the people. However, when I woke up after a good sleep, my whole person glowed with glory, as if I was a different person.
"I'll go find the Prime Minister later!" Wu De said: "As for you, go to the Ministry of War to find Chief Huang, and come back with him to get two hundred powerful crossbows and the corresponding crossbow arrows."
"Has the commander opened the joints? We were defeated last time!"
Wu De glanced at Luo Ying, did this kid really not know or was he pretending not to know? To be honest, he couldn't see through this kid. Luo Ying and Zhang Qingyun were born to feed on intelligence, and they could make it impossible for you to tell their true thoughts at any time.
As the first result of the cooperation between the two parties, Luo Ying joined Black Ice Platform.
I think Luo Ying will know his choice next time.
Let Zhang Qingyun tell him.
Wei Zhengdao's face was not very good. This time he went out to Beijing not only to appease the surrounding areas of Chang'an, but also to visit the garrison. He kept going around all day, which was really too much for him physically.
Wei Zhengdao was not familiar with martial arts, and he was really exhausted after running around for more than ten days.
But as soon as he returned to the capital, he still had to return to his post as soon as possible. He had not been there for more than ten days, and the documents that needed his review had piled up in the office.
Hearing that Wu De asked for an audience, Wei Zhengdao immediately invited him in.
Other court officials may not know the importance of Wu De, but Wei Zhengdao is very clear about it.
On the fifth floor underground of Heibingtai where Kou Zhong was trapped, He Bing was better at handling internal affairs, Zhang Quanyi became the general in command, and Wu De had actually become the most influential leader of Heibingtai.
The bloody metal tube was placed in front of Wei Zhengdao,
he pulled out the documents inside and just read the first few lines. Wei Zhengdao had already stood up from sitting cross-legged, with excitement on his face The color is getting thicker and thicker.
To be honest, when Ling Huye led his army into the pass, he and Kou Zhong were both disappointed.
The Anxi Protectorate Xiao Changche and Li Dachui they had pinned their hopes on did not complete their task of containing them.
In the eyes of people like Wei Zhengdao and Kou Zhong, Xiao Changche and Li Dachui even contributed to Linghuye's entry into the Pass, because after Linghuye entered the Pass, they became the masters outside the Pass.
And in the process, they also instigated the rebellion of Chen Liang and the Chang clan under Ling Huye.
Ma Dacheng from Yangguan also fell into the arms of Guanwai.
How could Linghuye enter the customs without the cooperation of several parties? How could it be possible to occupy the east and west of the river that the imperial court was determined to win in one fell swoop?
Kou Zhong and Wei Zhengdao painstakingly planned the Hedong Incident. In the end, He Zudao ruined the event and broke the situation. In the end, they even made wedding clothes for others, allowing Linghuye to get it without any effort. The land east of the river and west has formed a strategic advantage over the land of Guanlong and Chang'an
Luoyang and other places.
But judging from today's detailed memorial, it turns out that the court wrongly blamed Xiao Changche and Li Dachui.
Linghuye colluded with Beiyuan Zhebie, intending to sell the entire pass to Zhebie.
Xiao Changche and Li Dachui took advantage of their strength and used their tactics. With the cooperation of Chen Liang, Chang Jian and others who understood the righteousness, they defeated the attack of Zhebie's tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop and saved the city. Outside the customs.
Of course, this is not the point.
The key point is that Li Dachui, the deputy governor of the Anxi Protectorate, went deep into the Northern Yuan Dynasty, used clever means to kill Yingzhuo, framed Akedun, triggering a civil war between Akedun and Tiele, and then again outside the customs Zhebie was released during the battle, and then Zhebie killed Lengge, abandoned Qingtongxia Yeboar Ridge, and led his troops directly back to his hometown town in the north.
Beiyuan is now in a three-party melee situation, while the situation outside the pass is as stable as Mount Tai.
What Wei Zhengdao attaches more importance to is that the Anxi Protectorate still maintains absolute respect for the imperial court. This can be seen from the memorial, and there is also a memorial in the Anxi Protectorate’s memorial. Zhang Ruo's memorial.
I still believe in this person Wei Zhengdao.
Wei Zhengdao laughed loudly.
This is called the inexhaustible road.
When the imperial court was in turmoil, the Dinghai Shenzhen finally appeared again.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty was in chaos and unable to come south, and the army of the Anxi Protectorate outside the pass was of great use.
Even if they don't enter the customs, Linghuye, who now occupies the east and west of Hedong and Hexi, will probably not be able to eat and sleep well, right?
As long as this army remains loyal to the court, it can be considered by all careerists. Of course, except for that lunatic He Zudao.
But without the help of others, would He Zudao dare to attack Luoyang or Chang'an?
Ask him to come and go.
As for the transformation of Anxi to Beiting, with Li Dachui as the leader and Xiao Changche as deputy, can these things be considered a problem?
Not to mention that the imperial court cannot influence the personnel arrangements of the Anxi Protectorate at all. Even if it has the ability to influence, under normal circumstances, it will not refute the face of the border general.
“Come, follow me to see His Majesty!”
Grabbing Wu De's wrist, Wei Zhengdao walked out laughing.
The fatigue of many days seems to be gone.
So much so that the officials of many yamen in the imperial city all looked at the Prime Minister and asked each other why the Prime Minister was so happy today?
Xiang Wei is happy, and everyone's life will be better today.
The stern-faced Prime Minister Wei may get angry at any time.
Now in Chang'an, Prime Minister Wei is in charge. His son Wei Yi holds an army of 50,000 people. He can be said to be a man of power. The only person who can be on an equal footing with Prime Minister Wei is Dayin Kou Zhong of Heibingtai. The others are It's up to him to breathe.
Wu De saw again the dead eunuch who stopped him yesterday.
“Go and report to Your Majesty, Wei Zhengdao, please see me!”
“Prime Minister Wei, Your Majesty hasn’t gotten up yet!” said the eunuch.
“What time is it?” Wei Zhengdao’s expression changed and he strode inside.
"Prime Minister, stay!" The eunuch stretched out his hand to stop him.
Wei Zhengdao was so angry that he spat in the eunuch's face, and then kicked the eunuch's crutch, causing him to fall to the ground.
Wei Zhengdao glanced at the eunuch on the ground and strode inside.
Wu De strode to follow, and when passing by the eunuch, he added another kick.
His kick was a clever one, kicking the eunuch directly to the ground with his butt as the center, spinning around seven or eight times, and finally stopped when he reached the base of the wall.
The dizzy eunuch managed to get up, and in the dizzying situation, he hit the palace wall with his head again. With a scream, he flipped onto his back again.
"Damn eunuch! You deserve it!" Wu De felt so happy, as if he had drank a glass of iced sour plum soup in the dog days of summer.
Follow Wei Zhengdao and drive straight in.
Wu De realized the feeling of having great power and taking control of life and death.
When the guards in the palace city saw Wei Zhengdao, they all bowed in salute. The eunuchs and palace ladies saw Wei Zhengdao coming from a distance and immediately ran away. Some people rushed inside, thinking that he was coming. I went to report to the emperor.
If he barged in like this, I'm afraid those palace guards would come up with their knives.
Power is indeed a wonderful thing.
No wonder so many people will do whatever it takes to get it.
Outside the palace gate, Wei Zhengdao finally left face for the emperor.
“Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Wei Zhengdao!”
The door of the palace opened without any wind. Inside the palace, the Emperor of Qin Dynasty Li Anmin's face was as dark as water. In the winter, he only put on a single piece of clothing and sat on the chair like that. Wu De stood behind Wei Zhengdao and raised his head cautiously. At a glance, he vaguely saw four or five pretty figures stacked on top of each other on the big couch behind Shaman. Although they held their breaths, they were unable to hide in front of a Xuanyuan ninth-level master like Wu De.
However, Li Anmin is an innate master.
At this moment, Li Anmin was obviously not happy. With his aura exposed, Wu De felt extremely stressed.
Wei Zhengdao, on the other hand, seemed to have no feeling.
"Come in, if I don't let you in, you will kick in the door!" Li Anmin snorted coldly.
"How dare I be so presumptuous!" Wei Zhengdao smiled, crossed his arms and raised eyebrows, and bowed.
That’s it.
Wu De, on the other hand, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Are you Wu De? I heard Dayin mention you." Looking at Wu De, Li Anmin's tone softened: "You went all the way to the outside of the pass to instigate the rebellion of the cavalry general Xiao Changche. Although Linghuye has still entered the pass, but the division of the 100,000 troops outside the pass still has a share of your contribution, otherwise I am afraid that the traitor Linghuye has already arrived in Chang'an. "
"Your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty because of matters outside the customs!" Wei Zhengdao said with a smile.
"What happened outside the customs again? But it doesn't matter now. If you have more debts, you don't have to worry. If you have more lice, you won't be itchy. Even if Xiao Changche turns against you, so what? Prime Minister Wei, during these days, I feel that I have already stepped on one foot. After entering the state of wandering, when I succeed, I will kill all these rebels one by one!"
Wei Zhengdao shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this is a happy event, a great happy event! long Che, Li Dachui has made another great achievement, which is enough to be recorded in history. Your Majesty, if they succeed, you can even become the greatest monarch since the founding of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Huh?" Li Anmin stared hard. Looking at Wei Zhengdao, he made sure that the other party was not mocking him: "Tell me more carefully!"
