Chapter 1114 1115 [Listen to the Dragon’s Roar]

Empress Dowager Wu said unhurriedly: "The reason why the late emperor delayed in moving Wang Pingzhang, but tried every means to force him to reveal his flaws, is because Wang Pingzhang has been in the military for more than forty years and served as a military aircraft for seventeen years. He has already

All parties are connected to form a secret and powerful force. If Wang Pingzhang is killed because of some trivial matter, his influence will not dissipate immediately. If he is used by someone with ulterior motives, there will be endless troubles."

Liu Xian nodded and said, "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true."

Empress Dowager Wu continued: "That's why the late emperor used retreat to advance, and used his great momentum to conquer the hearts of his subjects. But Pei Yue was different. His rise to prominence was too short, too fast, and he didn't have many talents around him. Ai Jia agrees with you.

Let him stay in Beiying because

His current tentacles can only stay in Beiying. The Daliang frontier army has nearly 700,000 elite soldiers, and few people will obey his orders. He is a smart man and knows that he cannot defeat the Tianjia with only those 20,000 elite soldiers.

To counterbalance, we will not act rashly to expand our power.”

A bright light flashed in Liu Xian's mind, and he raised his tone slightly and said: "A lonely tree cannot make a forest."

Empress Dowager Wu nodded happily and said: "This is the difference between Wang Pingzhang and Pei Yue. The former can no longer be regarded simply as a person, but as an interest group that is closely connected with each other. If he cannot occupy the rightful name, he cannot

Luring them all to surface, and taking action hastily will only lead to chaos."

She paused and said calmly: "That's not the case with Pei Yue. The threats he may pose now all come from himself. As soon as he dies, Duke Wei and Beiying will fall apart, because no one can stand up to replace him.

His role. In other words, the reason why he can occupy a pivotal position in the court lies in his own ability, talent and scheming."

Liu Xian finally understood it completely, and then a look of worry appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Wu smiled and said, "The Ai family just said that if you can achieve a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers, the Ai family will only be happy for the emperor."

Liu Xian was not stupid, and of course he knew that Empress Dowager Wu was planning everything for her own benefit, so he said sternly: "Don't worry, Empress, my son and minister will be attentive to state affairs and govern diligently."

Empress Dowager Wu looked at him with pity, and then said warmly: "What the Ai family did was not because they were plotting against Pei Yue. And for Daliang, it is far from the time to let the horse go to Nanshan. You have to be more cautious.

.”

Liu Xian's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother is saying that she is afraid of foreign invasion?"

Empress Dowager Wu nodded and said: "Before your father passed away, he said that within one or two years after the new king ascends the throne, Western Wu and the Southern Dynasty may not be able to live in peace and harmony, and they may start a war before you take control of the court.

.The Ai family is not connected to the army

You cannot make rash judgments on this matter, but your father also said that after the palace and court are generally stable, you can go to Xiangcheng Marquis Xiao Jin to discuss countermeasures. In addition, do not send Gu Liang and Pei

The more excluded it is.”

Hearing the word "Father" and sensing the ardent expectations and care in these words, Liu Xian couldn't help but feel sad, and then nodded heavily and said: "I will obey the orders of my father."

Empress Dowager Wu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "As for Pei Yue, as long as you treat him with sincerity, the Ai family will help you keep an eye on it. The country is in a prosperous state, and there are many outstanding civil and military officials. You can't waste it.

The great situation left by the late emperor can be done with confidence and boldness."

Liu Xian stood up, lowered his head and saluted: "My son, I obey your order."

…

More than a hundred miles away from Kyoto to the northeast, there are spectacular mountains.

The seventh year of Kaiping, August 19th.

The almanac says that heaven and earth began to become quiet.

Nearly a thousand cavalry arrived in the morning and evening, all wearing armor and holding bows, looking majestic and majestic.

For more than a year, Beiwei Camp often conducted such long-distance attack drills, otherwise it would not have been possible to complete the feat of moving continuously from north to south of Kyoto in half a day after Wang Pingzhang's rebellion.

It's just that this drill is slightly different. There are two people in the team whose temperament is outstanding and eye-catching, and it is obvious that the soldiers of Beiwei Camp intend to protect them in the core position.

It was Pei Yue and Ye Qi in military uniforms.

He stayed in the North Camp of the Beijing Army for several days, made some slight adjustments to the training details of each guard, and then personally took the Beiwei Camp out of the camp for drills, but no one noticed that Ye Qi had sneaked in at some point.

This place is in the deserted wilderness, with only the vast world as far as the eye can see.

After a while, the Beiwei camp entered the canyon between the mountains, and then most of the knights spread out to set up defenses.

Pei Yue and Ye Qi continued to go deeper with more than a hundred riders, and did not stop until a wide valley appeared in front of them.

Deng Zai followed behind the two of them, carrying a tightly wrapped small wooden box.

After Pei Yue dismounted, he unloaded the wooden box from Deng Zai's back and placed it gently on the ground. Then, under Ye Qi's curious gaze, he opened the outer package and opened the lid of the box to reveal the scene inside.

"Is this the artifact you're talking about?"

Ye Qi didn't have the blind respect and trust for Pei Yue like Gu Zhen did. She looked at the things in the box that were divided into two halves and couldn't imagine whether those dark spheres could really shake the world as Pei Yue said.

Power, and the weird mallet-like thing on the other side can really easily destroy the morale and morale of an elite army.

Pei Yue didn't answer, looked at Deng Zai and said, "Do you still remember how to use it I taught you?"

Deng Zai said calmly: "Don't worry, young master, I haven't forgotten a word."

Pei Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's see how it works today."

Deng Zai took people to place the dark spheres. Pei Yue then turned to Ye Qi and said, "We have to stay away and watch."

The two walked to and stood near a gentle slope. Except for Deng Zai, who was responsible for the installation, and several craftsmen who followed, the other soldiers also stayed away from the center of the valley as required.

Ye Qi looked at Pei Yue with great interest. He rarely showed such a nervous and excited attitude, like a young child who was ignorant and curious about everything in the world.

She recalled what Pei Yue had said before and the gunpowder raw materials she had seen in the secret room of Green Willow Manor, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Ever since the explosion in the palace, I have believed what you said. Those things were used

After getting up, the martial arts practitioners in this world may soon have no use for them."

Pei Yue said softly: "No, that day will take a long time to come. However, the power of gunpowder can not only be used to kill people."

In the distance, Deng Zai raised his right arm toward Pei Yue.

Pei Yue said loudly: "Everyone, cover your ears."

He suddenly reached out and took Ye Qi into his arms, and then covered her ears. The soldiers around him followed suit, adding a bit of joy to this extremely tense and serious moment.

Ye Qi rolled her eyes at him, but after all she didn't break away at this moment and snuggled into his arms obediently.

The valley is quiet and gentle breeze blows.

There was so much silence between heaven and earth that she seemed to be able to hear Pei Yue's violent heartbeat.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly——

"boom!"

It was as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and thunder was coming to the world!
