In the summer of the 13th year of Yan Ping, foreign tribes from the north also launched a large-scale attack on Jinyun State to stabilize Yuncheng. The Zhengdong Army stationed in Jinyang was ordered to provide reinforcements from the north. However, due to the numerous internal factions and mutual strife, in the end, 300,000 troops came to help. They were determined, but they were defeated by the Yeluobu who only had 200,000 cavalry. They were completely defeated. They hurriedly abandoned tens of thousands of corpses and withdrew to Jinyang.
The Yeluo tribe was so powerful that they took the opportunity to invade Dingyun and massacre them. There is a saying among the people: If you fall into samadhi, no one can stop you. Looking at the history books, once the Yeluo tribe invades Dingyun City, they will definitely invade south, and there will probably be no force that can stop them. Unless they withdraw on their own, Jinyun will definitely become a purgatory.
The Seventh Prince Li Jun (Jun), who was already well-known in the army at that time, angrily beheaded the coach Lu Qing who advocated standing still and waiting for help, and reprimanded him with the same words as his father, Emperor Yan Ping. Based on the imperial edict, he took control of the Eastern Expedition Army. With the power of thunder, the discordant voices in the army were suppressed, and the surprise troops came out to aid the North again. Before Yeluobu could wake up from the celebration banquet in Dingbeicheng, he had already put a knife on the opponent's neck.
So Yehugan led the remaining men to escape from Dingbei City, but then he mobilized an army of 500,000 to besiege Dingbei. After half a year of hard fighting, they had to retreat because they had no chance to take advantage of them.
Li Jun became famous as a result, was awarded the title of King of Jin, and commanded the Eastern Army. This was the predecessor of the Huben Army.
Although he is a prince, has made great military exploits, and is the eldest son of the current emperor and empress, he has been ostracized by the royal family since he was a child and has not been able to enter the East Palace. The current prince of the East Palace is He is Li Hao (Hao), the legitimate son of Lu Yun, the legitimate daughter of the late Queen Lu.
The sea is clear and the river is clear, and the world is peaceful.
In September of the 18th year of Yanping's reign in the Jinyun Kingdom, Li Hao (Xue), the eldest son of Prince Li Hao, was born weak and fell ill from time to time, which made Li Hao very nervous. Just when he was heartbroken for his son, his father, Emperor Yan Ping, reprimanded him for no reason at the court meeting. At the same time, he also dismissed a group of East Palace officials who were loyal to him. The warning was palpable.
Emperor Yan Ping only had himself in his heart, so this gave Li Hao, who knew him well, a headache. Did Emperor Yan Ping want to change to a prince?
A few days later, Lu Tong, the prince's cousin and the eldest son of the prime minister's family, came to see him. Lu Tong was Li Hao's die-hard loyalist, so Li Hao let him in without any suspicion.
"Your Highness, I have intercepted the secret letter sent by King Jin to Kyoto."
Li Hao was still a little strange. At this time, he and Li Hao still had a secret cooperative relationship. Isn't Lu Tong beating one of his own? However, Lu Tong had already given him the secret letter, so there was no harm in opening it and taking a look.
After reading the clinker, Li Hao was furious, "Okay, now that your wings are hard, you dare to accuse me of being black!"
Lu Tong said: "Your Highness , I have also received news that the person escorting the salary to Dingyun this time is Zhang Ru from the Ministry of Revenue. This person previously paid 20,000 taels to you, but now there is news from the front that he is responsible for escorting the money.Of the 500,000 taels of silver, less than 50,000 taels reached Dingyun, and nearly 400,000 taels of silver disappeared. "
"Where is Zhang Ru? "
"The person is dead. I don't know whether he was silenced or committed suicide out of fear of crime. I'm just afraid that if they follow this clue and find out who the prince is, the loss will outweigh the gain. "
It really caused a lot of trouble for no reason.
"Now the King of Jin has noticed this matter and has written to His Majesty. Your Highness, you must make an idea as soon as possible, otherwise, otherwise, It’s hard to protect your position! "
The prince's eyebrows sank and he asked: "What do you think we should do? ”
“Your Highness, we might as well do nothing but get rid of King Jin!” "
Li Hao opened his eyes wide. After the shock, he began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
"Your Highness, don't hesitate. Governor Dingyun’s memorial will definitely not reach His Majesty. While not many people know about this matter, as long as we get rid of King Jin, no one else will dare to go against you! Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about Chan'er and my sister! "
The pressure from Emperor Yan Ping was still in front of him. Li Chuan, who had been sick all the time, all these things combined finally made him cruel and said: "I will go to my father to ask for an order. "
Li Hao originally thought that Emperor Yan Ping would have to wait a few more times before he would agree to let him go to Jinyang. The emperor seemed to have known about it for a long time and issued the edict without any doubt. Li Hao was a little hesitant when he saw him being so straightforward. Did Emperor Yan Ping know something?
But at this time, the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot. Perhaps this was the last chance Emperor Yan Ping gave him. Li Hao was nervous. The ground was too tight and I could no longer think.
In October, Prince Li Hao was ordered by the emperor to go to Jinyang City, where King Li Jun of Jin Dynasty was stationed, to read the Imperial Order of the Labor Army.
The Central Army of Huben Army. In the main tent, King Li Jun of the Jin Dynasty is sitting in command, and there are four people at his side: Qin Yao, the commander of the guards, Fu Liang, the general of Zhenbei, He Ze, the general of Zhendong, and Zhang Guang, the military counselor.
"The prince is here. Come, I'm afraid the person who comes is not good. ”
Zhang Guang was the number one scholar in Emperor Taizong’s later years, and was initially awarded the post of Hanlin. Before March, Emperor Taizong died of a serious illness, and Emperor Yan Ping succeeded him. Not available.
In April of the 13th year of Yanping's reign, the northern tribes also came to visit. Zhang Guang, who had just passed his forties, felt that he could not use his talents, so he resigned in anger and joined the army. The King of Jin has little prestige in the army, so he surrenders to the King of Jin and is respected by the King of Jin. He is worshiped as a military advisor.
He has a long gray beard and a sky-blue gown. If you look closely, there is a quilt at the corner of the clothes. Covered in patches and looking like a scholar, it is the military advisor Zhang Guang.
"The prince came to work on the emperor's orders, how could he be evil? I think this is not only good, but also a great good! "The man with a beard and a loud voice is Zhenbei General Fu Liang.
Zhang Guang turned away, especially unwilling to talk to this weak man.Rough talking.

Zhendong General He Ze also said: "Since the 14th year of Yan Ping, the food and salary of the Huben Army have been reduced for five consecutive years. Now that the prince is ordered to retrench the army, it shows that His Majesty still thinks of the brothers of the Huben Army. "
Qin Yao curled his lips disapprovingly. It is impossible for someone who is not a close confidant of King Jin to be the commander of King Jin's personal guard. As the earliest subordinate to follow King Jin, he obviously knew some inside information that others did not know.
Zhang Guang obviously disagreed with He Ze's view. He retorted: "In the winter of the 13th year of Yanping, our army fought hard for several months before repelling the attack of the Yeluo tribe and achieving a great victory. The prince returned to Beijing to receive the reward and obtained the vacant throne of the Jin Dynasty. Since then, the imperial court has not only refused to subsidize the Tiger Army, but has also reduced military expenditures year after year. Even the reserve army that has not been on the battlefield has a military expenditure that is 10% higher than that of our army. It's not a war at this time, how can the Holy One reward the soldiers for no reason?"
Fu Liang said heartlessly: "Maybe the Holy One feels that our prince has suffered a loss and wants to make up for it! You literati are just too narrow-minded. When they are not nice to you, you will be giggling. When they are nice to you, you will think that others have ulterior motives. You see, your beard has turned a lot white. It’s just that you are petty and worry about things all day long. "White."
"Hmph." Zhang Guang snorted, not wanting to talk to him, let alone argue with him.
He Ze said: "Exactly. During the Sanzhu Alliance, the prince made great achievements, but your majesty punished the prince for the affairs of Emperor Chu. He must have wanted to make amends for this."
"Even if you want to make up for it, how can you let the prince of labor take over?" Zhang Guang still refused to believe it.
The feud between the prince and the king of Jin was known to both the government and the public.
"It must be because the prince has made great contributions many times and his majesty values him and wants to repair the relationship between the prince and the king of Jin." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was speechless, except for agreeing with He Ze's words. , but because rebuttal means driving a wedge between the prince and the king of Jin.
The King of Jin looked left and right, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he concluded his speech and said: "Since you are here, you must entertain him well. Qin Yu, prepare a banquet to welcome the prince. "
"Yes, I obey, but..." Qin Yao hesitated.
The King of Jin said curiously: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Yes. The army has not seen meat for several months. Now that the prince is here, do you need to send someone to buy it?" Please tell me."
Of course, no, who wants to spend that money to entertain him? Li Jun has always been the one to beat others, so how could it be someone else's turn to take advantage of him.
Before King Jin could answer, Fu Liang said first: "Do you still need to ask? Of course you have to go! He is a prince, a noble man with fine skin and tender meat. He can get used to us. These rough things?"
Qin Yao glanced at him and pretended not to hear.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
When Fu Liang heard this, he almost choked on his own spit. He said in disbelief: "Me? Your Majesty, are you kidding me? Where is this material from? You asked me to buy meat?" , It’s like letting a military advisor go to the battlefield to fight. Is he the material? Isn’t this a suicide?”
Zhang Guang, who was killed for no reason, wanted to ignore him more and more, and didn’t even want to hear his voice. .
Can you give an example? You don’t have to say it if you don’t.
King Jin showed an encouraging smile and said, "I believe you can complete this arduous task."
King Jin's words meant that he had made the decision After the decision was made, everyone had followed the King of Jin for several years, so they knew it clearly. Seeing that the matter could not be changed, Fu Liang said aggrievedly: "How much do you plan to spend on the general's purchase?"
If it's less, I won't do it.
Li Jun smiled at him and said, "You must all be aware of the situation in the army..."
Fu Liang was in mourning, and the King of Jin was leaving him empty-handed. ah.
Fu Liang walked out of the handsome tent with a sad face, followed closely by He Ze. Their camps were in different directions, so they had to go their separate ways soon after leaving the tent. He Zeleng was caught by Fu Liang's sleeve unexpectedly, and he asked doubtfully: "Brother Fu, why did you catch me?"
Fu Liang said with a naive smile, "Brother, can I borrow some money?" < /p>
He Ze took out his sleeve and said coldly: "You should pay back what you lent me last year first." After saying this, he was about to leave.
Fu Liang naturally refused, and continued: "With that little money, can I still cheat you? You have also seen that entertaining the prince is a big deal, and you, a minister, can't you express your gratitude? Besides, , if the brother messes up this errand, the prince will be blamed for it, and the prince will be offended. Not only will you and I have no good things to eat, but the prince will also be harmed! The prince usually treats you well, right? How can you bear to do it to him at this critical moment? Holding back?"
He Ze seemed to be a little moved. He thought for a long time, and finally took out a handful of money from his long sleeves, put it in Fu Liang's hand, and said righteously: " Brother Fu, I hope you will fulfill your mission!" After saying this, he left quickly without looking back.
Fu Liang said cheerfully: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can rest assured that I will do the work."
As a result, he opened his palm and saw that it was only three cents.
