Chapter 147 Northern Expedition
Chapter 147 Northern Expedition
In Wenqing Hall, Helianshuo and his party sat neatly on both sides of the hall, drinking wine and discussing in low voices.
At this time, the big man sitting in the front on the left raised his head and looked at Helian Shuo, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "Prince, how have you been doing in Da Zhou during this time? Do you have any information?"
His name is Ubasa, and he is the left forward of Mobei.
The martial arts cultivation level has reached the fifth level of warrior. He is powerful and has the courage to fight one against a hundred.
When I came to Kyoto this time, in addition to discussing the marriage with Emperor Wu, the other reason was to understand the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to see whether the current military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was strong, whether the court was united... and so on.
He Lianshuo narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty rarely managed the military. Almost all central military power was handed over to General Zhao Tai. The number of troops was about 500,000. However, the vassal kings in various places held a lot of With a small military power, if they all obey Emperor Wu's orders, the total military strength should be higher than that of our Mobei."
"However, I have had a good relationship with King Qi recently. From what he said, the current internal corruption of the Great Zhou Dynasty is serious, and officials at all levels have been corrupted and accepted bribes to a certain extent, resulting in the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty being empty. This is very important to people from Mobei. Say it’s a good thing.”
Ubasa suddenly laughed, "Haha, the current emperor of the Great Zhou is weak and incompetent, and does not have the courage and majesty of my king. It is time for the land of the Great Zhou to change to a new owner. By then, the land of the Great Zhou will not be the same. Sheep, women, and wealth are all decided by me, the Mobei people, and they can only give me the Mobei people as slaves."
He Lianshuo immediately frowned and couldn't help but remind: "Left striker be careful, we are still on the territory of Dazhou. If we accidentally reveal some trouble, it may be difficult for us to return to Mobei."
"What the eldest prince said makes sense, haha, it's my subordinate who is being reckless." Ubasa laughed and brushed it off.
"Eldest Prince, do you think that the current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty would not want to offend me, Mobei, and would send the princess over for marriage?" Another Mobei man asked curiously.
Helian Shuo drank the wine in his hand, shook his head, and replied: "If it were another princess, Emperor Wu might agree. But Princess Anyang is the most favored princess of Emperor Wu, will she compromise and agree to me in Mobei?" It’s not yet certain to get married.”
"By the way, eldest prince, you have been here in Kyoto for so many days, should you be familiar with the place here? I heard that there is a place here called a brothel, and there are young girls living there who are beautiful and fragrant. . Today we have finally arrived in Kyoto, and the eldest prince won’t take us there to see it.” Ubasa asked with a smile, a hungry smile on his face.
Along the way, he had seen many great Zhou women.
Not to mention that all of them are fair-skinned and beautiful, but most of the women are slender and comely in appearance, much prettier than those bulky and thick-waisted women in Mobei.
"Then I'll take you over to have some fun."
Helian Shuo smiled and nodded in agreement.
Even he himself sometimes couldn't resist the charm of Dazhou women. Occasionally, under the leadership of King Qi, he could taste the taste of Dazhou women.
Needless to say, my group of subordinates are probably hungry and thirsty and ready to go.
Anyway, as long as the brothel can get enough gold and silver, today I will take his subordinates to have some fun and entertainment.
....
In the imperial palace, Gu Zijin slowly opened the palace door and walked gently into the palace. Then he saw Emperor Wu sitting in front of the long table in a daze with his head propped up.
"Father."
Gu Zijin shouted softly, and then walked towards Emperor Wu.
Hearing the voice, Emperor Wu subconsciously raised his head and looked at Gu Zijin who came over in surprise, "Zijin, why are you here?"
"I heard that someone came from Mobei today, so I came here to see my father." Gu Zijin explained softly.
Emperor Wu was stunned for a moment, his face became more unhappy, "Is there someone gossiping in the palace?! Tell your father where you heard this news."
Gu Zijin did not answer Emperor Wu's question, but asked, "Father, were you worried about Mobei just now?"
Emperor Wu's face became serious, "These have nothing to do with you, just stay in the palace."
Gu Zijin pursed his lips slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Father, if you have concerns about Mobei, my daughter is willing to go to Mobei to get married, so that the two countries will not have to go to war."
"What are you telling me here!"
Emperor Wu's face instantly turned cold. Just when he was about to explain a few words, the eunuch's voice came from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang and the General are asking for an audience outside the palace."
Emperor Wu calmed down and shouted to the door: "Let them come in."
"yes."
Not long after, Gu Chen and Zhao Tai walked in together, glanced at Emperor Wu in front of him, and then saw Gu Zijin standing next to him.
"My son has met my father." Gu Chen slightly cupped his hands and lowered his head in salute.
Zhao Tai followed closely behind, "I have met your Majesty, Zhao Tai, and Princess Anyang."
Emperor Wu glanced at Gu Chen and asked curiously: "What do you want from me?"
"The Northern Expedition!" Gu Chen replied.
His voice was calm, but there was a hint of indifference in his tone.
Emperor Wu's eyes sank, and he looked at Gu Chen silently, as if examining the stakes.
Gu Chen continued: "Anyang is the princess of the Zhou Dynasty and the younger sister of Erchen. It is impossible for her to marry an old man who is over 50 years old in Mobei no matter what. I, the man of the Zhou Dynasty, stand upright and never lack blood and bravery. I am a general in the army." There is absolutely no one who is afraid of death. If in order to appease the anger of Mobei, he sent Anyang to go and get married, which would be a great shame and humiliation for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, Anyang has always been ill and it is difficult to adapt to the harsh climate of Mobei, so sending her there Getting married is tantamount to committing suicide."
"Furthermore, this marriage move in Mobei is already a provocation to the power of the Great Zhou Emperor. If the Great Zhou Dynasty chooses to give in this time, we will be greeted by endless exploitation and oppression. Therefore, I request my father to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Let the people of Mobei understand the consequences of provoking Zhou!"
Finished.
Emperor Wu fell into consideration. He didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses and turned to look at Zhao Tai beside him. "General Zhao also has the same attitude as Lao Jiu?"
Zhao Tai immediately lowered his head and said, "What Prince Zhuang said is what Wei Chen is thinking."
And Gu Zijin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but glance at his imperial brother, feeling inexplicably complicated.
She and Brother Jiu don't have much interaction.
In her perception, Ninth Brother was a cold and cruel person who turned against his own brothers and became enemies for the sake of the so-called throne.
But now seeing what he said in front of her father, she discovered that Brother Ninth was not as cold as she thought, and would even go to war with Mobei in order to prevent the marriage.
Thinking of this, a warmth came from the bottom of her heart, and she also felt sorry for misunderstanding Brother Jiu before.
