The little emperor of Vietnam is the only son of Le Yi Min. He was canonized as the crown prince just after Le Yi Min ascended the throne.
Li Yimin protected him to the highest standards, and arranged the most loyal and capable eunuch Ruan Dayou beside him.
Under Yu Yang's planning, Li Yimin arranged for the crown prince, Ruan Dayou and others to go to Qinghua, Xijing before the great changes in Jiaozhou City.
Ruan Dayou is less than sixty years old this year. He was originally a palace servant of the Prince's Mansion. He watched Li Yimin grow up since he was a child. Later, when Li Yimin launched an army in Beiliang, he also made great contributions.
This time Li Yimin handed over his only son to Ruan Dayou because he also valued him.
Ruan Dayou took the crown prince into Thanh Hoa, Xijing, and also took away all the troops outside Jiaozhou, and all the subordinates of the East Palace followed.
After arriving in Thanh Hoa, Nguyen Dayu, who had brains and strength, cut through the mess quickly and killed more than a hundred people. After the news of the emperor's death came from Thang Long City in Tokyo, he decisively appointed the crown prince to the throne the next day.
Because Ruan Dayou was an eunuch and could not come to the court, he could only control from behind, so he introduced the original crown prince Shaobao Li Binghao as a bachelor to prime minister of all government affairs and preparations for war.
But all actual power lies in his hands.
The common people can still have illusions about the officials below, but Li Binghao and Ruan Dayou, as ministers on the left and right, all know it well.
Under the current circumstances, it has become empty talk to shoulder the pressure from the front line and preserve the foundation.
What can be done now is to preserve the bloodline of Li Taizu and the only son of the late emperor. M.biQuge.biZ
As long as you live, everything in the future is possible, but if you all die, there will be no future at all...
Against this background, Ruan Dayou began secretly preparing an escape ship...
I often practice escape routes with soldiers to see how to get from Qinghua, Xijing to the seaside as quickly as possible...
The soldiers on the front line were not to guard against the Ming army, but rather to keep an eye on the Ming army's movements. As long as the Ming army showed signs of moving south, Ruan Dayou and Li Binghao would take the ministers and the little emperor to the seaside as quickly as possible and ride on them. Ships go to sea.
Then people would be sent from time to time to check whether the Ming army had retreated, and then decide whether they would come back.
In the last days of the Yue Kingdom's existence, officials and generals from top to bottom had lost their fighting spirit.
Of course, it’s no wonder they are.
I'm scared.
This kind of fear comes from the bottom of my heart. Even those who were fearless before will still be frightened after experiencing the Ming army's methods.
They were still very arrogant before.
The Ming Dynasty was the Northern Dynasty, and they were the Southern Dynasty. They were not subordinates, but they were not ready for the Northern Expedition. This was the previous consensus and the previous dream...
When Li Li just won the victory, there were some crazy generals and officials who suggested that it would be better to immediately launch an expedition to the north, release their horses in the Yellow River, and let their elephant soldiers gallop on the land of ancient Yuzhou to regain the Northern Dynasty...
Of course, Li Li did not adopt these crazy ideas and only used oral pleasure.
At first, the Li Dynasty had more than 100,000 soldiers and thousands of elephant soldiers. In this land where there were constant disputes, no etiquette, and only looked at the fists, there was also the existence of an overlord.
Any chieftain or foreign race outside the country is not afraid of them, and all small countries must bow to them. But when the Ming army officially set out from Zhennanguan to attack them.
However, they failed to exert the strength of the peninsula's little overlord. They were defeated in frontal battlefields and had constant internal disputes. Even when they reached the city of Tokyo, there was no accurate opinion in the court.
Now hundreds of thousands of troops have become a thing of the past. Although Qinghua, Xijing, has more than 50,000 soldiers, three of these soldiers use a sword and ten people use a bow and arrow. It is already very difficult for the little emperor to hold temporary imperial power. If he wants to rely on these people who were fishermen and farmers a month ago to go to the battlefield to fight against the powerful Ming army, everything will collapse at the first contact.
Ruan Dayou was loyal to Li Yimin and also very loyal to the little emperor.
When life and death were at stake, he didn't think about just protecting himself. He was still trying his best to plan a good future for his little master.
So he forgot his hatred and chose to compromise. He secretly sent envoys, hoping for peace talks and making the Ming army promise to protect his young master, but he could move inland to the Ming Dynasty and become a marquis.
The price is to give up the south, which currently holds 150,000 square kilometers of land, and even Ruan Dayou can personally eradicate all the unstable factors in the south for the Ming army...
However, the envoy met Shi Heng, and the treaty that could be negotiated came to an abrupt end...
In the center of the city in Qinghua, Xijing, is the temporary palace of the little emperor.
And Ruan Dayou also lives in this temporary palace.
The temporary palace was surrounded by more than six thousand Elephant Guards and Heroic Guards, which could be called the last regular army.
And the middle-level generals of these troops are all Ruan Dayou's people.
It was also relying on this unit that still had this fighting capacity that the Wu Xun of Qinghua, Xijing, did not cause too much trouble.
Li Binghao is a scholar, and he is willing to become Ruan Dayou's puppet because he is very self-aware. Without Ruan Dayou, he would not be able to stabilize the situation by himself.
Therefore, Li Binghao clearly understood his position and came to Inspector Ruan to report and seek advice on both big and small matters.
After the news that Shi Heng was dismissed by the top brass of the Ming Army reached Li Binghao's ears, he rushed to the temporary palace in a hurry to discuss it with Ruan Dayou.
Although the Vietnamese army was retreating in great embarrassment, some of the officials and maids in the imperial city were able to pass the news through special channels.
No matter when, big people behave like big people, and small people also behave like small people. Whether they are big people or small people, they cannot be underestimated...
Big people can change history, and small people can also change the direction of history with their hard work.
When this news reaches Xijing, it can also change their arrangements and the fate of thousands of people.
The envoy took the beauty, gold, silver and jewelry to Tseng Long City in Tokyo. He wanted to ask to see Shi Heng, but he died without seeing him.
This was a huge blow to Ruan Dayou.
Shi Heng is also Ruan Dayou's biggest obstacle to saving his little master. His downfall is great news for Ruan Dayou.
And Li Binghao was in charge of the government. The person who delivered the news traveled through the mountains and took only small roads. When he arrived in Qinghua, Xijing, he could not find his original superior, so he could only tell Li Binghao the news...
Here, Ruan Dayou was waiting for the young master to eat, when an internal official walked in.
"Superintendent Ruan, Grand Scholar Li would like to see you."
Ruan Dayou was holding a jade bowl with millet porridge in it. Ruan Dayou was feeding the little master spoonful by spoonful.
The little emperor has a perverse personality and is difficult to serve. In the temporary palace, he can only be a little more honest under the care of Ruan Dayou...
After listening to the official's words, Ruan Dayou didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Your Majesty's meal is the most important thing, let him wait..."
"Yes, Supervisor Ruan..."
