    Two days later, Pan Mei's army of more than 200,000 troops arrived in Xiangcheng. Zhao Kuangyi sent Cheng Dexuan to see Pan Mei. Pan Mei refused to enter the city to attend the reception banquet, and ordered Lu Qi and Wang Yansheng to meet. Lu Qi told the messenger that he was  Those who come to assist in the battle are not here to listen to propaganda. If Marshal Pan is angry, he can come to his barracks and he is willing to accept the scolding respectfully.  Naturally, Pan Mei would not go to the Luqi Army Camp, and she also knew the attitudes of Lu Tianfeng and Zhao Kuangyi. The three parties were trapped in each other's fortresses. Pan Mei had no choice but to let the secret envoy from the imperial court to oversee the army.  He hurriedly asked Kaifeng Mansion for instructions.  One day later, Emperor Zhou received a secret letter. After opening it and reading it, he was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he covered his chest with his right hand, and then vomited a small mouthful of blood on the dragon table. The eunuch standing there was so frightened that he immediately called the imperial doctor. After vomiting blood, Emperor Zhou unexpectedly  He was not unconscious, but his face was frighteningly livid.  "Pass Zhang Yongde." Emperor Zhou ordered in a voice.  The imperial doctor came to give Emperor Zhou acupuncture and medicine. Zhang Yongde arrived in a hurry after hearing the news. Emperor Zhou lay on the couch in Wende Palace, waved his hand to let others go out, and then asked Zhang Yongde to take the secret fold of the Dragon Case and sit beside the couch to watch.  "Yongde, this time, I made a miscalculation. I never thought that Lu Tianfeng would refuse the order to join Pan Mei. I thought that Lu Tianfeng always obeyed military orders. I couldn't figure out how he knew that it was unfavorable and asked him to go with the main army.  Meeting up should be a normal thing," Emperor Zhou said softly with a pale face.  "Your Majesty, I have a hard time explaining this matter, but I know that Lu Tianfeng is a person who has experienced many dangers, and as far as I know, some scouts who have experienced dangers have a special ability that can be sensitive to danger.  ." Zhang Yongde replied.  But there was another explanation in his mind, that is, Emperor Zhou's strategy seemed natural, but in fact it was a bit far-fetched. If he were leading the army outside, he would be wary of not going to the American army. In addition, Lu Tianfeng was leaving Jingzhao Mansion.  By that time, 10,000 cavalry had been transferred, which showed that Lu Tianfeng would never trust any Zhou army commander.  "What do you think we should do?" Emperor Zhou asked softly.  "Does your Majesty want to kill Lu Tianfeng?" Zhang Yongde asked.  "I didn't have the intention to kill him, but wanted to imprison him. Then I destroyed the military forces that were transferred from Hexi, and returned Hehuang and Longxi to the rule of the imperial court. Then I took him back to Kaifeng Mansion and became a peaceful and prosperous prince-in-law.  , I don¡¯t want him to occupy the west for too long. Lu Tianfeng is in Hexi and is regarded as a god by the Fan tribe. If he is allowed to rule Hexi for a long time, Hexi will become stronger and stronger." Emperor Zhou whispered.  "Your Majesty, I have secretly stated that Pan Mei has not done anything disadvantageous to Lu Tianfeng. It just happened that Lu Tianfeng refused to see Pan Mei. I feel that Lu Tianfeng may not know your Majesty's strategy. He just did it for his own safety and did not want to be controlled by others. I  I think your majesty can ask Pan Mei to stop dealing with Lu Tianfeng and attack Jingzhou first," Zhang Yongde said.  Emperor Zhou nodded, and Zhang Yongde said again: "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng is so alert, even if he enters Jingzhou, he will not give Pan Mei a chance to besiege him. The only way to deal with Lu Tianfeng is in Kaifeng Mansion. If Lu Tianfeng does not know your Majesty's strategy, he will  Maybe he will boldly come back to Kaifeng Mansion." Emperor Zhou nodded and whispered: "I wanted to seize Zhao Kuangyi's military power this time, but I didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyi didn't go to see Pan Mei. It must be my impatience that made Lu Tianfeng get there first.  "Xiangzhou, Zhao Kuangyi is on guard." "Your Majesty, I feel that even if Lu Tianfeng hadn't arrived first, Zhao Kuangyi would have been on guard, because Pan Mei brought too many troops. If it were a hundred thousand troops, Zhao Kuangyi would not be able to do it mentally.  Surprised." Zhang Yongde explained.  Emperor Zhou nodded and whispered: "I got a secret report from Xiangzhou, saying that Wei State sent an envoy to Xiangzhou and planned to jointly attack Jingzhou. After I heard it, I sent someone to give Pan Mei a secret order to allow him to respond.  Zhao Kuangyi, I asked Pan Mei to bring 200,000 troops to Xiangzhou. The main purpose is to attack Jingzhou. To seize Zhao Kuangyi's military power is to follow the trend." Zhang Yongde nodded and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. In fact, your Majesty's strategy can advance and retreat freely.  , and it will not cause turmoil in the morale of the army." Emperor Zhou nodded and asked softly: "Yongde, what do you think of my mistakes in governing the country?" Zhang Yongde was silent, Emperor Zhou said softly.  "You and I are close relatives, and I would like to hear your opinion." "Your Majesty, I have said before that why did Qin die after two generations, and why was Han able to establish its power for six hundred years." Zhang Yongde replied.  "You said before that the second generation of the Qin Dynasty died because it did not know how to adapt and continued to rule the country based on Legalism. The Han Dynasty was able to last for a long time because it respected Confucianism and Taoism and balanced civil and military authority." Zhou  The emperor whispered.  "I know that your majesty wants to rule the world in his lifetime, so he respects military merit and despises Confucianism and suppresses Buddhism. He does not want to let literary and Buddhist affairs weaken the fighting spirit of the people of Zhou Dynasty and waste limited financial resources. However, your majesty's gentle literature and suppressing Buddhism have  It makes people lose their faith." Zhang ?said De.  Emperor Zhou was silent. After a while, Zhang Yongde said again: "Since ancient times, the emperor's rule and the belief in heaven are complementary to each other. Lu Tianfeng is good at using faith to win over people's hearts. He connected the Buddha that the Fan people believe in with himself, making the Fan people worship Buddha.  Thanks to him, Lu Tianfeng was able to quickly return to Hexi, because Lu Tianfeng had used the gods that the Fan tribe had believed in for hundreds of years, and gained popularity among the people for hundreds of years. Compared with gods, humans are weak. " Emperor Zhou nodded lightly.  Said: "I actually admire Lu Tianfeng very much, but Lu Tianfeng makes me panic. I have worked hard for many years, but I feel inferior to him." "I don't think that your majesty's efforts are inferior to Lu Tianfeng,  Lu Tianfeng only gained power in the west by chance. The Central Plains was the land of the Four Wars. People's livelihood and foreign aggression were top priorities, especially the Yan Kingdom in the north. If Lu Tianfeng was left to deal with it, I didn't think he would be better than Yang Yewei.  "Strong." Emperor Zhou smiled lightly and said softly: "You are not convinced." "In my entire life, I cannot be convinced by a young man." Zhang Yongde said gently.  There was a smile on the corner of Emperor Zhou's mouth, and Zhang Yongde saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I will step aside for a moment." Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "Go ahead and talk to you tomorrow." Zhang Yongde stood up and put the secret fold on the couch.  Afterwards, he bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out. As soon as Zhang Yongde walked out, a dozen men and women immediately poured in outside the palace. Naturally, they were the concubines of the harem headed by the empress and the children of Emperor Zhou.  "Your Majesty." Queen Zhou grabbed Emperor Zhou's right hand and looked at him with concern and shouted.  ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m just dizzy for a moment.¡± Emperor Zhou smiled to reassure his relatives.  Queen Zhou nodded. The imperial doctors and eunuchs had been ordered by the emperor before and did not dare to spread the news that the emperor had vomited blood. However, Queen Zhou actually knew that Emperor Zhou had never fully recovered from his serious injuries.  "Father, father," the children shouted softly one after another. Emperor Zhou turned his head and nodded one by one with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Yuwei's face.  "Yuwei, Lu Tianfeng has left Kaifeng Mansion. It is not appropriate for him to lose control of his family business. From now on, you and Xianghe will leave the palace and live in the Western Jin County Duke's Mansion." Emperor Zhou said gently.  "Father, my daughter should serve my father in the palace." Yuwei said with concern.  "In this palace, you can come back to see your father at any time." Emperor Zhou said gently.  "Father, my daughter and Xianghe are not married yet." "Okay, I have decided to let you go, so don't say more." Empress Dazhou suddenly interrupted Yuwei's whispers.  Yuwei was startled and hurriedly said respectfully to Xianghe: "My daughter obeys the empress's decree." The queen nodded, then turned to look at Emperor Zhou, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please stop talking." Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded, and the queen turned to give instructions.  : "The noble concubine stays, and everyone else goes." After listening to the queen's instructions, the relatives who came in to visit said their goodbyes and left the Wende Hall. The queen and the noble concubine stayed behind, chatting with the emperor about trivial matters.
