    In the capital, in the Yangxin Hall of the Forbidden City, the emperor placed in front of him a secret report from the Jinyi Guards from Henan. He read it over and over again. The eunuchs were on tenterhooks and uneasy. In their impression, every report from the front line would  The emperor was furious, but this time, unexpectedly, there was a faint smile on the emperor's face.  The report from Jin Yiwei stated that on the night of Liu Yuanfeng's wedding, the pseudo-Han bandit was attacked by blue jade elite soldiers and lost his troops. Even Liu Yuanfeng himself was injured.  This was the first big victory since the end of the Rebellion. The emperor couldn't help but admire Lan Yu. After all, it was the veteran who took the initiative. He took the truth that a soldier never tires of deceit to the extreme. If he continues on this path, he would be able to bring peace to the world.  It happened that Cao Shaoqin came in, and the emperor hurriedly greeted him: "Old Cao, look at Lan Yu's record. It's not in vain that I have such high expectations for him." Cao Shaoqin also had a look of surprise after reading the report. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty.  , Congratulations to Your Majesty, the victory in quelling the rebellion was accomplished in just one day and night." The emperor stroked his beard proudly and was in a good mood.  ¡­ After coming out of the Yangxin Hall, Cao Shaoqin¡¯s bright face turned gloomy. Lan Yu unexpectedly made this strange move, just when he was about to lose the emperor¡¯s trust, he was able to win back the game. He didn¡¯t expect it.  Cao Shaoqin is an eunuch who is far more greedy for power and money than ordinary people. Lan Yu is an old minister of Conglong, with high morals and high respect. As the Minister of War, he has soldiers and generals under his command. In addition, he has made many new achievements, and his status has skyrocketed, which is very likely to endanger Cao Shaoqin.  When we arrived at Lao Cao's position, that kind of scene was not what Cao Shaoqin wanted to see.  Furthermore, due to Lan Yu's slow advance, the Cao family in Luoyang was wiped out by the Han army. Countless property was wiped out, and many of his relatives were killed. Cao Shaoqin took this grudge against Lan Yu.  "Hmph, even if you climb up, I can kick you down." Cao Shaoqin thought silently in his heart as he looked at a tired crow on the eaves of the palace.  Jin Yiwei's report was sent to the capital via flying pigeons, which was faster than the eight hundred mile express. Three days later, the military report from the Henan front line arrived in the capital. What made the emperor a little puzzled was that Lan Yu didn't make such a fuss  To exaggerate the results of the night attack on Luoyang, it was just an understatement to say that the troops were sent deep behind enemy lines and there was a win or loss. In addition, it was said that King Chu's subordinates had been found, and the prince could be buried intact.  Since ancient times, military generals like to ask for rewards. If you kill three hundred enemies, you will be rewarded with three thousand. Now Lan Yu has no reward for his merits. Why? When the emperor was puzzled, a secret report from the inner factory arrived.  The business skills of Naichang Fanzi are obviously higher than that of Jinyiwei. Although the information came later, it was clearly stated and the evidence was reliable. According to their investigation, the Blue Jade Army did not enter Luoyang City at all that night, and there was not even a battle.  As for Yuan Feng's injury, it was even more untrue. The people in Jinyiwei only saw the surgical doctor being invited to the palace, but they didn't know much about it. However, the inner factory fan did his job extremely meticulously and bribed the old doctor's son.  The message is that the old man just drank a few cups of tea in the palace and chatted with the King of Han for a few words.  The emperor was a little displeased with the secret report from the inner factory, but what made him even more dissatisfied was that Lan Yu had concealed something from him. With years of struggle experience, the emperor was sensitive to the fact that a conspiracy against him was underway.   Lan Yu didn¡¯t think things were that complicated. He was just a simple general who knew a little bit about the principle of hiding one¡¯s strength and biding one¡¯s time. If he won a battle, he would take credit, and if he lost a battle, he would take blame. It¡¯s that simple. But since the surprise attack on Luoyang,  After the defeat, more and more strange things happened.  The short truce period passed, and the two sides continued to fight, but the strange thing was that the Han army ran away when they encountered Lan Yu's flag, and fought desperately when they encountered Li Bosheng's flag.  The Western Expeditionary Army fought successively and conquered several counties one after another. The whole army went into a state of fanaticism. They were so arrogant that they clamored to regain Luoyang in half a month and Guanzhong in half a year. The officials were as arrogant as the soldiers.  Following his pride, he walked with his eyes raised to the sky. Especially when he met friendly troops from Huguang, he wanted to laugh at their faces.  The ground that the Han army lost in front of the Lan Yu army was all recovered from Li Boxheng. The territory captured by the Blue army the first day was handed over to Li Jun for guarding, and was taken back by the Han army the next day.  Zhengjun looked down upon Huguangjun, and even Huguangjun himself felt that he was losing face.  People are more popular than others. Li Boxheng's qualifications are no lower than Lan Yu's. They are both Conglong's old ministers, and they are both imperial generals. Except for Lan Yu's additional title of Minister of War, there is basically no difference.  Li Boxheng scratched his head and couldn't figure out why the Han army always looked for him. It is reasonable to say that persimmons only pick soft persimmons, but he is not a soft persimmon. The quality of the Huguang army is not much worse than that of the Western Expeditionary Army.  , why exactly is this happening?  Could it be blue??This guy conspired with the Han army to plot against him?  Li Boxheng was startled by his own thoughts. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this possibility was not impossible. Considering the strange things that happened recently, the possibility was not small.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???  After careful consideration, Li Boxheng decided to fight at the last moment of life and death. Of course, the target of the battle was not the Han army, and the weapons of the battle were not swords and crossbows. Instead, he picked up his pen and reported to the emperor what happened on the front line in Henan.  All kinds of weird things.  ¡­ What Li Boxheng didn¡¯t know was that there was also a big boss in the imperial court who stood on the same front as him. The inner factory tried its best to search for evidence of collusion between Lan Yu and the Han army. What made the inner factory fans proud was that their work efficiency was far more efficient.  They are much higher than the Jin Yiwei. Whatever they want to know, they can get it with a little effort. Apart from being secretly happy, the fans not only lamented their own brilliance, but also sighed at the dissatisfaction of the Jin Yiwei: Alas, I have to beat myself.  After Wen Hai took over, Jin Yiwei's business level was worse than that of Wang Xiaoer during the New Year.  It¡¯s better to say it¡¯s a sigh than a gloat. I¡¯m really lucky to have such a competitor.  The insiders who went deep behind enemy lines sent a steady stream of information to the capital. The Jin Yiwei in the Western Expeditionary Army also reported the success of Lien Chan and Lianjie to the capital incessantly. The intelligence from the inner factory showed that the Han army and Lan Yu commanded  The Western Expeditionary Army was fighting Taipingquan. Only a few people died in a battle. Often, the Zhou army charged and the Han army withdrew. It was like playing house, and the battle reports of the Jin Yiwei were full of flowers.  , added fuel and jealousy, killed thousands of people at every turn, severely damaged the enemy and so on.  These contradictory information were eventually compiled into written materials and placed on the emperor's desk without comment.  At the beginning, the emperor would be extremely happy when he saw the good news, then he became much calmer, and then he became deeply silent, frowning, and thoughtful.  As an emperor who started his career as a rebel, Zhang Shicheng was deeply afraid of generals who held military power. Since he ascended the throne, veteran military leaders like Lu Zhen, who have strong military strength and self-respect, have been sorted out one after another.  He is also low-key, so he has never been touched, but who can guarantee that he will always be so low-key.  With an army of 100,000 in hand, it is impossible to keep a low profile. If there are a few grumpy generals with ulterior motives, it is not impossible to get a yellow robe.  Regarding the intelligence from Henan, the emperor believed more in the investigation of the inner factory. The more brilliant Lan Yu's performance was, the more confused he became. Various conflicting intelligence made the emperor's eyebrows twist into the word "Sichuan".  The last straw that broke the camel's back was Li Boxheng's secret memorial. After all, he was a warrior who was forced to a dead end. He spoke without any taboo, directly pointing out that Lan Yu might be a traitor to the enemy!  The emperor paced back and forth in the Yangxin Hall all afternoon, and finally came up with a way to test Lan Yu. He directly issued an order to the army, ordering Lan Yu to send troops to advance rapidly and must recover Henan within a month!  Soon, Lan Yu's reply came. Yan Ming said that the main force of the enemy army had been standing still and wandering without attacking. Although there were many victories, the enemy's strength was not damaged, so it was unrealistic to recover Henan within a month. Then he pressed for military pay, war horses, food and feed.  etc.  Lan Yu unexpectedly disobeyed the order, and the emperor was greatly worried. He stayed in the Yangxin Palace all day and silently recited a sentence. The little eunuch who served at the door listened carefully, and then quietly learned it to Cao Shaoqin after he was off duty.  This sentence is: I will not accept your fate.  Cao Shaoqin smiled sinisterly. To be honest, this old boy Lan Yu is really difficult to control because he is loyal and outspoken. Even Cao himself doesn't believe that he is treason, but God is not as good as God.  Things are so strange, God helps me.  It seems that there are experts in the Han army, and they are so good at alienating people that even I was almost deceived by them.  Cao Shaoqin said secretly.  Although it has been seen that this is a conspiracy against Lan Yu, Cao Shaoqin deliberately did not point it out. He let the emperor make his own judgment.  As the saying goes, bystanders are confused by the authorities. When the emperor is in that position, his thinking angle will be different. What's more, the emperor is inherently a suspicious person. He doesn't use people who are suspicious of others. The emperor is a loner. Except for himself, there is no one in the world.  A person he can trust completely and unconditionally.  Including me, Cao Shaoqin thought so.   Early the next morning, an explosive news shocked the court. The emperor decided to personally conquer the Central Plains. In the past, the ministers would have risked their lives to remonstrate. The emperor was a rich man, so how could he personally take risks?  , not to mention that the crown prince is not even decided yet.  But there are no ministers who dare to speak.??, even Liu Songpo was demoted to Lingnan, and the entire cabinet was dominated by the eunuchs and the young faction. There were no mature and prudent ministers. These scumbags only wanted to get promoted and make money, opportunistically, and the emperor would personally lead the expedition. That was  It was a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so when the emperor issued the decree, except for a few stubborn censors who knelt at the Meridian Gate to protest, everyone else gave fawning approval.  Cao Shaoqin naturally agreed with the emperor's personal expedition, because he knew that when the emperor came to the front line in person, it would be the day when the blue jade head fell to the ground.  This book.  Your message, even if it is just a __, will become the motivation for the author's creation.
