On the other side, the Duanmu Dynasty.
The funeral of the former emperor Duanmu Huan is going through the process, and the current emperor Duanmu Yu has a headache dealing with various things.
In the military field, various generals and various princes fought many times, but they still could not do anything to the princes.
In government affairs, everything is a mess.
The Zhonglu, where there was no war, was turned into a mess by the Qingyi Sect. Many local officials were incompetent and no one dared to be an official.
The military towns that can run are all empty, and they are called to go to the front line to help.
The capital is a stagnant place. All those who can run have run away, and those who cannot run are just dawdling.
Qingliu scolded him every day, but if scolding could solve the problem, there would be no problem in the world.
Not to mention the east road, King Dongping is dormant there to consolidate his territory. This is good, and he can always collect taxes.
The southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north, northeast, and seven roads are all in a mess.
In this war, generals from all walks of life can be said to be in charge of one side, and officials from various places can only cooperate.
However, while they cooperated, they also reported impeachment.
Impeachment of generals and generals who exercise power, exceed their authority, and abuse their power. Military personnel are tyrannical in local areas, enrich themselves, kill officials, etc.
With the help of the secret agent system, impeachment memorials from all over the world arrived in the capital like snowflakes.
The Imperial Study Room is packed every day. Not to mention reading every day, more than a dozen people are needed just to move it.
When Duan Muyu was the prince, he believed that the generals were loyal to the court.
But I really sat on this dragon chair, looking at the memorials to impeach the generals every day, and I couldn't help but think wildly.
If the situation in the court deteriorates like this, will these generals collude with any prince?
Although I don't rationally believe that they will rebel, I don't want to withdraw them and let the guy from the mountain tell the truth.
But rumors were flying everywhere, and he was struggling. He stayed up all night, and finally found that there was only one way to fall asleep.
That is to call the generals back, in order to test the loyalty of the generals and test their relationship with the princes of each party.
Duanmu Yu was now completely convinced by the late emperor, and it was difficult for him to remain in office for so many years.
Duanmu Yu was unconvinced by the people in the mountains, and it was difficult for this guy to get it right.
Even if he becomes emperor in the end, he has to take that path.
Because as an emperor, he has no choice!
…
As the imperial edict was issued to various generals, the news spread quickly.
People couldn't figure out why the new emperor wanted all the generals to return to Beijing.
It was clear that the prophecy of the people in the mountains had spread all over the world, and the emperor knew why he still followed it.
The general trend of the world is changing, and this is the turning point.
The emperor can change the general trend of the world, why doesn't the emperor do that?
Countless people in the government and the public do not understand, but they all know one thing: when the generals return to Beijing, the world will become turbulent again.
Moreover, it is based on what the mountain man said a year ago.
The world is speechless, how can the general trend of the world continue to evolve like this!
…
No matter what the outside world said, the various generals began to arrange the retreat. Simply put, they took away everything they could and destroyed everything they could not take away, leaving no benefit to the enemy.
The north started first, while the south waited for the fields.
The emperor also specially calculated the date, arranged the funeral in spring, and took the last spring food before leaving.
…
The outer palace of Lengmei Palace.
Many refugees came to the city of Outer Palace, and they all did not want to leave with the imperial court, so they hid under the wings of Lengmei Palace.
Many people in the palace are wondering whether they will take advantage of the situation and expand their sphere of influence after the imperial court retreats, waiting for opportunities in the future.
If you advance, you can become a grass-head king, and if you retreat, you can gain a larger sphere of influence.
Leng Suxue, the master of the outer palace, could not make the decision to expand, so she could only go up the mountain to ask the palace master Leng Xin for instructions.
And she couldn't go up directly, so she could only communicate at the warehouse on the mountain.
After a while, cold feelings came to her, leading her to see Leng Xin.
…
In the cave with a wall built against the mountain, Leng Xin still looked unkempt and slovenly, still roasting sweet potatoes.
The lord of the outer palace, Leng Suxue, greeted her respectfully, "Leng Suxue, the lord of the outer palace, has met the palace lord."
She was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, her hair was neatly tied up, and she had an aloof air.
Compared with Leng Xin, the sky and the earth are different.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Leng Suxue is the sky and Leng Xin is the earth.
But Leng Suxue knew that she was the earth, and Leng Xin was not the sky, because Leng Xin disdained these things at all.
Therefore, Leng Suxue said it bluntly.
Leng Xin scratched his head after hearing this, "I really don't know what to do with these things you mentioned. Leng Qing, you can handle it."
He said coldly: "Actually, the question is very simple, just two questions."
"First, can Leng Mei Palace become the emperor? Although you can sit on the throne with our help, do you think you can handle the livelihood of all people in the world?"
"Second, is the power of the outer palace of Lengmei Palace strong enough? Although we can help you conquer the world, we cannot always stay in the capital to guard you. Can your outer palace dominate the world and resist countless assassinations?"
Leng Suxue, the master of the outer palace, was silent, not knowing what to say.
Lengqing said: "Lengqing believes that there is no need to rush this matter. We should first make an agreement with the princes in the north and continue to remain neutral."
"Since the imperial court is going to shrink, we need a trade route for the time being."
"We want all the inns on the commercial road between Lengmei Palace and the Middle Road Pass. We will probably take care of them temporarily until the world is peaceful."
"The reason is that we need trade routes and we need to keep them open."
"No matter which side, no one will insist on this, because we really need trade routes. Without trade routes, we are forced to take action."
"No matter which party wants to take action with us, they will agree."
"Since the imperial court is at odds with the northern kings, it is impossible for them to conduct business again. This trade route through Lengmei Palace will be the only trade route."
"If the outer palace can't even manage such a trade route and prevent money and food from rolling in, then there will be no need to mention the world in the future."
Leng Xin nodded, "That's very good, let's do it."
…
Leng Suxue, the master of the outer palace, went down the mountain and sent letters to all parties.
The northern kings had no objections, but Duanmu Yu, the new emperor in the capital, had objections.
"Asshole, I still want to listen to a woman. She said she wants a trade route, so I have to give it to her!"
The spy leader carefully persuaded, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, you must leave such a trade route for Lengmei Palace, otherwise you will force Lengmei Palace to take action."
"Do it? I have a million troops to defend the capital, and dozens of top experts are stationed inside and outside the palace. Will they be afraid of Lengmei Palace!" The new emperor Duanmu Yu said angrily, "Even the trade routes were given to Lengmei Palace by me! "
The secret agent commander had a headache, "Then your Majesty will reward you with such a trade route."
"Get out of here, get out of here, I don't need you to tell me what to do."
The secret agent commander also wanted to persuade, "Your Majesty!"
The new emperor Duan Muyu couldn't help but snorted coldly, "I still remember that your spies failed to guard against the Tsing Yi Sect and killed many of my brothers. If the late emperor hadn't said you were useful, I would have killed you all!"
