Chapter 967
The news that Emperor Xinde was critically ill was quickly transmitted to Jiangnan through Shandong. After hearing this news, Long Zhaohuan of Jiangnan immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss matters.
In recent years, since Jiangnan removed Su Zhi's harm, Long Zhaohuan gradually gained military and political power. His Majesty, who lives in a remote corner, can be said to be very comfortable.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Xinde of Shandong was about to die. The descendants of the Long family were only left with Long Zhaohuan as the emperor. Can the world of Dakang be unified?
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. The Supreme Emperor will die. Your Majesty can command the emperor's orders. If anyone does not follow, he can attack him with the emperor's orders. In this way, the world can return to his heart, and Your Majesty can establish a foundation for thousands of generations!" Someone immediately stood up and flattered, Long Zhaohuan sighed:
"The Supreme Emperor is critically ill. As a son, I want to visit Shandong. I don't know what my dear friends think? Visit Shandong in the east, set the hearts of the ministers, and fulfill the royal filial piety. This is what I wish!" Long Zhaohuan's statement was in an uproar.
What he said about royal filial piety is completely nonsense. No one believes it. The so-called ruthless one is the imperial family. Long Zhaohuan had long wanted his father to die. Now he finally waited for this day. This was a great joy for him. How could there be any sadness?
Is the so-called saying that he is going to Shandong true or not? If it is true, it is obvious that Long Zhaohuan wants to win over Song Wensong, and the two are preparing to form an alliance? Now Lu Zheng is in great power, especially last year when Lu Zheng suddenly sent troops south and captured several cities in Jiangnan. Long Zhaohuan was so scared that he was already thinking about his plan to retreat.
It has to be said that the situation in Jiangnan is not stable now. Although Long Zhaohuan raised some soldiers, these soldiers were very weak. How could they be the opponent of the northern Iron Cavalry? Under such circumstances, Long Zhaohuan must find foreign aid so that he can compete with Lu Zheng.
But is it appropriate for Long Zhaohuan to go to Shandong like this? Song Wensong has a bad ambition. Will he detain Long Zhaohuan directly and then cause a case of tying the emperor to order the princes? If that is the case, it is very dangerous for Long Zhaohuan to go to Shandong.
The Grand Tutor Dong Yong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the matter in Shandong is in place of His Majesty. After the Supreme Emperor collapses, Shandong will definitely not be the place for the royal tombs. Dong Yong is willing to welcome the Supreme Emperor tombs to the south of the Yangtze River in the early stage, so that Your Majesty can fulfill his filial piety in Jiangnan!
Song Wensong from Shandong has been recuperating over the years and has a vague desire to pay homage to Your Majesty. I am willing to communicate with him in depth and bring your Majesty's kindness with you. I hope he can follow the will of the people and the will of God and be loyal to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
Dong Yong is now in a high position and is no exaggeration to say that he is the first counselor under Long Zhaohuan. This man is not only good at strategy, but also good at the use of power. He was originally just a counselor, but he joined forces among the powerful families and his status gradually became more and more stable. Now he has become the first powerful minister.
Of course, he had power in his hands, which was done on purpose by Long Zhaohuan. After all, if Long Zhaohuan wants to hire people, he must give benefits to others. Otherwise, he would have to run away and not eat grass. How could this be possible?
Dong Yong stood up at this time, just in line with Long Zhaohuan's wishes, so he immediately issued an order to let Dong Yong be the imperial envoy and go to Shandong for inspection. He secretly told Dong Yong that he would promise Song Wensong that Long Zhaohuan was willing to give Huainan Road to Song Wensong.
I have to say that Long Zhaohuan also has counselors and experts, who can see the dilemma facing Song Wensong. After Song Wensong achieved achievements in Shandong's business, Shandong was too small to support so many soldiers. In addition, after Song Wensong became stronger, he could no longer hide his weakness.
More importantly, Song Wensong's goal is Lu Zheng. If he wants to fight with Lu Zheng, how can he win by fighting in a small place in Shandong? So his eyes must be turned to Huainan Road.
The Sun family in Huainan and Sun Chongwen are already old. There is no outstanding among the Sun family. Huainan Road is located on both sides of the Huai River, and the wealth here is no less than that in Jiangnan. More importantly, Song Wensong wants to form an alliance with Jiangnan. It is really not conducive to the alliance between the two sides. In this case, Song Wensong will of course have to annex Huainan Road.
Now Long Zhaohuan has grasped this idea and told him that he could give up Huainan Road, but in fact he was giving him courage behind his back. Of course, the condition was that Song Wensong would respect him, Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty, so that the two sides would form an alliance to oppose Lu Zheng, and make Lu Zheng a traitor!
Long Zhaohuan made this plan, and Dong Yong immediately set off north to Shandong. When he arrived in Shandong, he heard about Emperor Xinde's death. Then he went to Jeju and saw white banners inside and outside Jeju covering the sun. Emperor Xinde died. All civil and military officials were wearing mourning clothes. Dong Yong was regarded as a filial son to watch the night. This has to be said to be a farce.
Emperor Xinde finally died. Except for the early years of his reign, he spent most of his time practicing immortality and completely ignored the government.
It would be fine if this person simply didn't care about the government, but this person had a very high IQ and liked to play with power tricks the most. He regarded ministers as his own playthings, but he burned himself to pieces, and he would also die in Shandong. Those who wanted to practice immortals did not become immortals, but became kings of the country. Such comical anger is conceivable and must be recorded in the history of history.
The news from Shandong cannot be covered, and Song Wensong never thought about covering it, so the news quickly spread to the two rivers and to Jinggi! After hearing this news, Long Lingxiu of Jinggi just frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said something to Hua Eunuch:
"If you don't die sooner or later, what's the use of dying at this time? The pattern of the world has basically been determined. The only variable now depends on what Long Zhaohuan and Song Wensong can pull the pattern into. If they can stabilize the pattern, there may be variables. Otherwise, Lu Zheng could calmly ascend the throne and become king, and there would be no change at all!"
Eunuch Hua smiled faintly. At this time, he could no longer say much. He was like the dead emperor, and he was too old. He was about to die when he was old. This cycle of reincarnation has never changed, and Eunuch Hua is no exception.
He knew that he was going to die, but Long Lingxiu has been using an imperial physician to force his life to prolong him. For Long Lingxiu, she has gone through her life and she has no feelings for her. If anyone doesn't believe her, she will have no friends. If she doesn't trust anyone, she will naturally have no confidants.
Only Eunuch Hua has been with her for so many years, anyway, this old eunuch has been by her side. She has been like this since she was a child and has been until now. She is used to having such a person around her, that's all.
For someone like Long Lingxiu, she is extremely lonely! The only person he can talk to is the old guy. When the old guy dies, who else can she talk to?
"Your Highness Princess! According to news from Shandong, in order to win over Song Wensong, Long Zhaohuan should have given up Huainan Road. The Sun family in Huainan has been declining over the years, and it is estimated that this time it will be over!" Tan Cheng came over and said.
Long Lingxiu sneered and said, "Huainan Road Sun is not a fool. They must have noticed that their envoy should have arrived in the Lianghe River at this time. Who is Lu Zheng? How could he let Huainan Road fall into Song Wensong's hands? So there will inevitably be a war in Shandong this time!"
"Your Highness Princess, how can we send troops from both rivers? Will we have an opportunity? The capital of the capital is too small, we have to find a way out!" Tan Cheng took the opportunity to make a suggestion.
