my wife is mulan

The two discussed secretly for a long time before finally finalizing the action plan.

On July [-]th, Zongai took the little emperor out of the city to worship at the ancestral temple, and Duguni, the middle man of Habayashi who accompanied him with soldiers and guards, was deeply trusted by Zongai. Zongai and the little emperor just started to worship Emperor Daowu, but Duguni Sudden attack.

"Soldiers, Zong Ai supported the puppet emperor, cultivated cronies, formed a party for personal gain, killed ministers without authorization, undermined the government, and caused chaos in the world. His crimes are too numerous to write down! Now we will punish this official and enshrine the new king as emperor, kill me!"

"kill--"

This happened so suddenly, Zong Ai was completely unprepared, and immediately yelled, "Stop them, stop them!"

There were only a dozen or so eunuchs in the ancestral temple, where were the opponents of these fierce Habayashi soldiers, they were chopped into meat paste in the blink of an eye, and Zong Ai himself was chopped into pieces before he could resist.

Dugu Ni cut off the heads of Zong Ai and his cronies, and immediately returned to the city with his soldiers to join Tuoba Jun and others.

At this time, Tuoba Jun and his family guard met Dugu Ni in front of the palace gate, and entered the palace together with Yuan He's support.

"Listen everyone, Zong Ai is the most evil and has been beheaded by us. We want to regard Xinxing King as emperor. All rebels will be killed!"

In fact, although Zong Ai is good at buying people's hearts, he also offended many people by his actions. Although many people in the court, including the imperial guards, took advantage of Zong Ai, they hated Zong Ai in their hearts because the emperor was in his hands. Here, he acted in the name of the emperor. No one dared to be disobedient. Now that Zong Ai was dead, how could they resist? They all turned against each other. Zong Ai's cronies who stayed in the palace were killed one by one do.

Immediately afterwards, Tuoba Jun ordered all the troops to march out, and the whole city was arrested.

He took Zongai's henchman, but he didn't expect that Hua Mulan would also belong to Zongai's party, and was locked up and sent to prison.

Yuan He heard about this, and hurriedly asked Tuoba Jun to report, "Your Majesty, is it too hasty to designate Hua Mulan as the Zongai party? She is the wife of Zhao Junsheng, the general who conquered the East. It is very possible to affect the war in Liaodong..."

Tuoba Jun asked, "You want to say that Zhao Junsheng is likely to be forced against him, right?"

Yuan He didn't make a sound, acquiescing to his worries.

Tuoba Jun snorted coldly and said, "I will send a decree for Zhao Junsheng to return to Beijing to report on his duties within half a month. Now that Hua Mulan is in my hands, let's see if he comes or not!"

Yuan He was a little anxious, but also a little puzzled, anxious because he knew Zhao Junsheng, who was not easy to deal with; puzzled because he couldn't figure out why Tuoba Jun wanted to target Hua Mulan and his wife in this way, and he had never done this before. It can be seen that Zhao Junsheng and his wife are related to Zong Ai. Even if they are related, under the current severe situation, it is really inappropriate for the imperial court to take action against Zhao Junsheng, a feudal official with local military and political power. Once unsuccessful, there will be endless troubles!

"Why is Your Majesty so afraid of Zhao Junsheng and his wife?"

Tuoba Jun was embarrassed to tell Yuan He that Hua Mulan beat and kicked him when he was the general of the right wing army. He always remembered it. Although the actual power holder of Great Wei has not yet held a formal enthronement ceremony, he is already a de facto emperor and has great power in his hands. What scruples does he have?Those who humiliated him back then, he will make them kneel and lick in front of him one by one!

"There is no need to say too much about this matter, I have my own measure!"

Heaven Prison.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow quietly appeared beside a cell door, and knocked lightly on the cell door.

Hua Mulan, who was dressed in prison clothes, was a little bit thinner, but she was still in good spirits. She heard the voice and looked up, and saw a black figure squatting by the prison door, and asked quickly, "Who is it?"

"Young Madam, it's me, Lao Lu!"

Hua Mulan was startled, and quickly got up and walked over to ask, "Lao Lu, how did you... get in here?"

Chapter 586 Shocking News

Lu Xuanbo said: "I can go in when I want and get out when I want, but it is not easy to rescue the young lady. The security here is too strict. I only have a cup of tea to talk to the young lady."

"Young Madam, listen, Tuoba Jun has succeeded to the throne, and he is purging dissidents in the name of eradicating Zongai's party and remnants. I have received news that he has issued an edict to the young master on the day of receiving the edict. I came to Beijing half a month ago to report on my duties. I just wanted to use my young wife to coerce the young master to commit the crime. Once the young master comes to Beijing, he will be imprisoned and deprived of his military power, and then..."

"I have ordered someone to send a secret letter to the young master. Before the edict arrives, the young master will definitely try to rescue the young lady. We must find a feasible way before the young master's order comes down. But now our strength in Pingcheng is too weak. I don't know if there is anyone you can trust, Young Madam, who you can use?"

Hua Mulan pondered for a while and said: "There is no one who absolutely trusts, but...you can ask Puzhen and Sima Huying, the deputy generals of the right wing army, to help with some things, but you must not let them directly participate in the rescue! , Wu Dade, who has now become a general of the right wing army, is even more untrustworthy, don't let him know about this!"

Lu Xuanbo was quite surprised: "Why is this? Weren't these people under the Young Madam's subordinates before?"

Hua Mulan said: "Now I'm a prisoner of the imperial court, and it's no good to be associated with me. Although Hu Ying and Puzhen respect me, they will not betray the imperial court because of me; as for Wu Dade, he likes to speculate. He was just a soldier before. , The ability to lead troops to march and fight is not much, but the ability to flatter horses is few people can match, if it is not for Zong Ai, how can he become a general of the right wing army? If he knows at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do it just to please Tuoba Jun betrayed you, so this person cannot be trusted!"

"Okay, Lao Lu knows, I will spread the news immediately, Young Madam, don't worry!"

······

Pyongyang.

Zhao Junsheng received a secret letter sent by Lu Xuanbo through a secret channel, and his premonition and the divinations of Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi were confirmed. As expected, something big happened in Pingcheng, and Zong Ai was actually caught by Tuoba Jun, a trash, and Yuan He, etc. He was killed by someone, and Tuoba Jun became emperor in one fell swoop. What made him angry was that Tuoba Jun, a bastard, actually took Hua Mulan into prison.

"Bastard! If Tuoba Jun dares to touch Mulan's hair, I will cut you alive! Someone, call Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi!" Zhao Junsheng almost lost his mind and shouted.

Soon, several people who were notified arrived one after another.

"I will meet the prince at the end!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Let's all be excused!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "A major event happened in Pingcheng. I only told you a few. I believe you should also understand my intentions. The less people know about this matter at this stage, the better! Not long ago, Xinxing Wang Tuobajun joined forces with the Minister Yuan He and Habayashi Zhonglang Dukuni launched a coup, killed Zong Ai in one fell swoop, and eradicated Zong Ai's party members, so Tuoba Jun took control of the power in the court and became emperor!"

"What?" Both Cao Jiao and Gao Xu were shocked.

Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi were also surprised, but their reaction was rather flat. They were surprised that it was Tuoba Jun, known as the wandering prince, who did this thing, which is unbelievable.

Zhao Junsheng continued with a sullen face: "Tuoba Jun quickly eradicated dissidents in the name of clearing up the remnant party of Zong Ai. My wife, Hua Mulan, was also arrested and imprisoned by him. Tuoba Jun also ordered this king to arrive within half a month. Pingcheng report, the edict is still on its way to Pyongyang!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng looked at several people and asked, "What do you think this king should do?"

Gao Xu immediately said: "My lord, what are you waiting for? We have to rescue my wife, my lord, let's raise our troops, only if we raise our troops, Tuoba Jun will not dare to touch his wife."

A hair! "

Cao Jiao said: "My lord, we can't go to Pingcheng. Tuoba Jun made it clear that he wants to use his wife as a bait to force the lord to go to Pingcheng. If the lord doesn't go, the lady should be fine. He doesn't dare to kill the lady, because once she kills the lady , It is tantamount to forcing the prince to rebel! If the prince goes, not only will the prince's title and military power be lost, but even his life will be lost, let alone his wife!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about Gao Xu's and Cao Jiao's words separately. Gao Xu's words sounded reasonable, but it was not feasible. Once he rebelled first, it would be tantamount to forcing Tuoba Jun to kill Hua Mulan. As the emperor, Tuoba Jun naturally It is impossible to compromise and bow to him, and he will definitely respond with a stronger stance.

Cao Jiao's words are very pertinent, and his analysis is clear, but if Zhao Junsheng does not go to Pingcheng, how can he rescue Hua Mulan?So he had to go to Pingcheng this time. As for how to go, it was worth thinking about.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi: "How do the military and celestial masters think this king should deal with this matter?"

I saw Kou Qianzhi take out the tortoise shell and the copper coins, "Wait for the old Taoist to make a hexagram. Dare I ask the lord, what is your wife's birth date?"

Zhao Junsheng recounted Hua Mulan's birth date, and Kou Qianzhi put a few copper coins into the tortoise shell, put the two halves of the tortoise shell together, and held the tortoise shell in both hands, shaking it constantly, chanting incantations in a low voice while shaking.

With a "bang", the tortoise shell fell on the chessboard, and a few copper coins jumped out on the chessboard. Kou Qianzhi pulled it twice with his fingers, and the few copper coins and the tortoise shell formed a special figure.

Kou Qianzhi stretched out his fingers again to make calculations, raised his head and said to Zhao Junsheng: "If the prince goes to Pingcheng, the hexagrams show that the prince and his wife are safe and sound!"

Zhao Junsheng still had some faith in Kou Qianzhi's divination ability, and he was slightly relieved.

Cui Hao said: "Regardless of whether the prince will go to Pingcheng or not, the subordinates think that the prince should tell the other generals and officials under his account the news of the great changes in Pingcheng!"

Zhao Junsheng wanted to ask why, but he immediately thought that Cui Hao would definitely not suggest him to do this for no reason, and he quickly figured it out, doing this could test the loyalty of the generals and officials under his command to him. If this news is spread, will people be dissatisfied?

He wasn't too worried about those old subordinates who had followed him from the beginning. The key was the people who had only started following him since he arrived in Youzhou.
