Chapter 84 Emperor Yongning is anxious, and the army is dispatched
"Don't we have 15,000 soldiers? Why is Your Highness recruiting more soldiers?"
"This is a long story. Your troops cannot act rashly. If you attract the attention of Emperor Yongning, you will be in trouble."
As he spoke, Chu Yang came close to Wang Fugui and whispered, "I want to annex a mountain bandit near Kyoto in the name of a bandit. This way, I can not only monitor the power in the court, but also form a pincer attack with Luoyang City."
Hearing this, Wang Fugui stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Highness is a man of foresight. I admire you! I will sell everything I have to get you these five hundred taels of gold!"
Chu Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. This Wang Fugui is indeed smart!
He patted Wang Fugui on the shoulder and said loudly, "Good! Lord Wang is indeed a straightforward person! I was right about you!"
Wang Fugui was almost hurt by Chu Yang's slap, but he still said with a smile: "It is my honor to share your worries, Your Highness."
But he secretly groaned in his heart, five hundred taels of gold is not a small amount.
Although he had some savings, he would have to take out so much at once, probably from the military camp.
Chu Yang naturally had no idea what Wang Fugui was thinking. He picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
"How does Lord Wang plan to raise this gold?"
Wang Fugui's eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind. He smiled and said, "I will go back and sell my property, and borrow some from my relatives and friends. I guarantee that within three days, I will deliver the gold to Your Highness!"
"What are you talking about, Lord Wang? Do I look like the kind of person who would rob people? Just go and raise the money. It doesn't matter how long it takes. I'm not in a hurry."
When Wang Fugui heard this, he felt even more miserable.
It is obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is pretending to be ignorant. If he does not send the gold quickly, he may lose his official position as the magistrate of Luoyang City!
"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts! It's just that these five hundred taels of gold are a huge sum, and I need some time to raise them. Please give me a few days!"
Chu Yang stopped when he saw that things were going well, and helped Wang Fugui up with a smile, "Lord Wang, you are too kind. I naturally trust you. Just go ahead and do it, don't worry."
Wang Fugui felt as if he had been pardoned. He thanked the emperor quickly, stood up and took his leave, and hurried back to raise money.
Looking at Wang Fugui's flustered back, Chu Yang's lips curled up into a playful smile. Although Wang Fugui was scheming, greedy for money and afraid of death, he was still sensible.
After Wang Fugui left, Chu Yang left the county government office and returned to the inn.
As soon as I got back to the inn, the escorts from Weiyuan Escort Agency had already settled down. They were all well fed and well-drinking, and were sitting in the yard chatting and bragging.
Seeing Chu Yang coming back, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite."
Chu Yang smiled and pressed his hand, his eyes falling on Zhang Liao, a man with an imposing manner in the crowd.
"General Zhang, five hundred taels of gold will be delivered soon. You can rest in Luoyang City for the next two days."
"I will obey my orders."
Zhang Liao bowed and accepted the order, then followed closely and asked.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you, what is the plan for your war in the South China Sea?"
Hearing this, Chu Yang waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down, and then slowly began to explain.
It's nothing more than using psychological tactics to make Dongying and Yuenan fight each other...
the other side.
The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Golden Throne Hall.
Emperor Yongning sat high on the dragon throne, his face livid, and the memorial in his hand was crumpled into a ball.
"This Chu Yang is such a worry!" Emperor Yongning was furious.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The dragon's body is the most important!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, why get angry over a prince!"
All the ministers in the hall knelt down to advise him.
Ever since Prime Minister Zhang Dongzhi was arrested, every minister in the court has been worried about angering this capricious emperor.
"Hmph! Is Chu Yang young and impulsive? I think he has ulterior motives!" Emperor Yongning snorted angrily.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is going to Qiongzhou, the journey is long, and he has no heavy guards around him. He must be just passing through Luoyang City and taking a short rest. Why is Your Majesty so angry?"
The person who spoke was the fifth prince Chu Yun, who was also the crown prince newly appointed by Emperor Yongning.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what the Fifth Prince said is absolutely right. The Seventh Prince..."
"What's wrong with him? He leads 15,000 soldiers stationed in Luoyang City, and he dares to say he's just passing through?"
Emperor Yongning slammed the dragon throne and shouted angrily.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court fell silent, not daring to breathe.
Everyone knows that Luoyang City is only a hundred miles away from Kyoto. Chu Yang's stationing of troops here clearly has ill intentions!
"Chu Yang leads 15,000 soldiers in Luoyang City. What do you think about this, my dear ministers?" Emperor Yongning suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
The hall suddenly became silent, and one could hear a pin drop.
The ministers looked at each other, stammering and not daring to say more.
"What? No one is talking?"
Emperor Yongning glanced at his ministers with a sharp gaze, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
"Father, please calm down. I think my seventh brother might just be stopping in Luoyang City to rest and will leave soon. Father, there is no need to be angry."
The fifth prince Chu Yun stepped forward again to smooth things over.
"Hmph! I hope so!"
Emperor Yongning snorted coldly, but his heart was full of suspicion.
He knew Chu Yang. He was extremely intelligent since childhood, but he was also very ambitious. Now he was openly leading his own troops. Did he really think he was capable?
Thinking of a certain possibility, a murderous intent flashed in Emperor Yongning's eyes!
"Somebody come!"
"What's your majesty's order?"
"Pass on my decree, ordering the Seventh Prince Chu Yang to leave Luoyang City and report to Kyoto within three days! Otherwise, you will have to wait for the army of the Great Zhou!"
Having said this, Emperor Yongning paused deliberately, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
When Chu Yun heard this, he was obviously only interested in the army behind him, and then he bowed.
"Father, I am afraid that my seventh brother will not leave within three days. How about I lead the troops to intimidate him? Then he will definitely return to the capital to report."
He took advantage of every opportunity and looked loyal, and he was just short of having the words "I want to lead the troops" carved on his face.
Emperor Yongning sneered in his heart, this rebellious son finally showed his true colors.
This good son of his appears to be gentle and kind, but in fact he is extremely ambitious and has long coveted his father's throne.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of his father, the emperor who had been in power for a long time, Chu Yun's little thoughts were as childish and ridiculous as a child playing in the mud.
"What do you know!"
Emperor Yongning slapped the dragon throne and pretended to be displeased, "Is leading troops to fight a war a joke? Your mediocre skills may be enough to deal with a few thieves, but how about your seventh brother? Humph! Don't let him sell you out and help you count the money!"
Chu Yun's face froze, and he cursed the old man in his heart for being ungrateful, but on the surface he had to pretend to be humble and willing to learn.
"Father, your Majesty, taught me that I am stupid."
"Humph! It's good to know!"
Emperor Yongning snorted coldly and glanced at his ministers, feeling that it was impossible not to send troops.
If we allow Chu Yang to continue to develop, I'm afraid he will really rebel!
"Where is General Sun Quan?"
