Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger
Chapter 761 A basin of dirty water
"Master, do we still have a chance to win?" Looking at the anxious and hopeful eyes of his subordinates, Xie Zhan was silent for a long time and nodded.
"There is still a chance." Even facing the suppression of Pingzhou's weapons that were ahead of Dali, Xie Zhan did not lose heart.
Because he knows that going from zero to one is the most difficult, but he believes that going from one to two is just a matter of time.
What he had to do now was to buy time and use it to buy space for Dali to grow. The current situation was that he had two cards in his hand, and now the dynamite card had been scrapped, leaving only the charcoal card.
But considering that Pingzhou is now launching a massive attack on the Xianbei, it is impossible to use force across the entire territory against Dali like it did against the Xianbei... Besides, Lu Songli is not a warmongerer.
Therefore, he predicted that the next battle between him and Lu Songli would be a battle for the hearts and minds of the people. The situation in the Three States Free Trade Zone had deteriorated to such an extent that there was no need to cover up Song Mo's death any longer.
Therefore, the court soon rang the funeral bell and issued an obituary to the world. In the winter of the seventh year of Tianhe, the eighth emperor of Dali, Song Mo, died in Taiji Hall.
At the same time, the world was informed that the late emperor had left a will, appointing his eldest son as the new emperor and naming the country Daoming.
This country name is full of Dali's strong expectations for the future. In addition to establishing a new emperor, the late emperor also left a will to appoint the former Grand Commander Xie Zhan as the regent.
After Song Mo's death, after discussion among the ministers, the posthumous title was proposed to be Ai. Pingzhou, Changli Pingzhou government office, all officials learned the news of the death of Emperor Song Mo of Dali.
Song Mo's posthumous title also caused much discussion among Pingzhou officials.
"Emperor Ai has many meanings, such as being orphaned and dying young, lacking moral integrity, and having suffered great hardships."
"Song Mo reigned for seven years and died at the age of twenty-one, a premature death."
"During his reign, facing internal and external troubles, although he took some measures, he ultimately failed to save Dali from decline." At this point in the discussion, everyone understood.
Song Mo's life was mostly unfortunate, and his posthumous title was
"Emperor Ai
"It also makes people sympathize with him. At this time, Lu Desheng spoke,
"Dali actually dared to make public the fact that Xie Zhan was named the regent of Dali? This is equivalent to admitting that the Dali court had previously committed fraud. Aren't they afraid that we in Pingzhou will hold them accountable?"
"Because of the polo match, Dali and Pingzhou are now at odds with each other. There is no difference between falling out once and falling out twice." As the saying goes, too many lice do not itch.
Lu Songli knew that the exposure of her identity must have been done by Xie Zhan. She was not surprised that Xie Zhan would do this.
Xie Zhan was not stupid. He guessed that she knew that he was not dead. If this matter was still hidden, it would become a handle or a hidden danger. It would be better for him to reveal it himself and eliminate the hidden danger.
With an opponent who knows you well, every move you make is like playing chess in a clear manner. And that's what playing chess in a clear manner is.
It is impossible to win a lot in one go. The only way is to win a little in each round through confrontation, and slowly build up a big advantage.
...After the polo final, because Dali and Xianbei cheated, Pingzhou took the opportunity to launch an attack and captured Yanzhou and Xuzhou in one fell swoop.
Tuoba Jin and Tuoba Lian did not fight to the death, but instead led the Xianbei army in Yanzhou and evacuated from Yuzhou via Dali.
Then, Dali stationed troops in Yuzhou, Donghai and Yongzhou to guard against Pingzhou's army. Just when the leaders of Dali and Xianbei thought that Pingzhou would launch a large-scale attack on Dali's hinterland Yuzhou, Yangzhou or Yongzhou, the power center, Pingzhou did something unusual and General Qin Heng led the three armies to deploy troops along the border with Dali to confront Dali.
On the other hand, Pingzhou sent three armies to attack the Xianbei. First, the Sun family army in Bingzhou went westward to intercept the Xianbei army led by Tuoba Jin and Tuoba Lian.
Secondly, the army led by Yue Shu set out from Buyeo County, among which Wei Kuang, as a lieutenant general, led an army and headed straight for the Xianbei grassland.
Finally, the Jintai Army was the main force, led by Qin Sheng, and Qin Zhao also led a Qin family army to follow.
The two armies went straight from Qingzhou to Yanmen Pass, and then went out of the pass. The Qin family army led by Qin Zhao was responsible for dealing with the Xianbei army that blocked the road, while Qin Sheng led the Jintai army across the grassland and headed straight for the Xianbei capital - Shengle.
The death of Emperor Dali brought great mourning to the country. For a time, the prices of sacrificial items rose sharply. The people complained that they had no money left.
But the government didn't care, because the regent had ordered that the emperor must be buried with great ceremony, and the people under his rule could not fall behind, and every household had to hang the emperor's clothes in white!
The common people were oppressed by the government and were full of resentment and anger. Xie Zhan was very busy, busy with the funeral of the late emperor, the transfer of power, the reorganization of personnel, and the development of the war with Pingzhou and the war situation of Pingzhou with Xianbei.
One day, Xie Zhan returned to the Regent's Palace from the palace after finishing his work. When the carriage was halfway through, he found that the road ahead had been dug up artificially, and the guards he led immediately went on alert.
At this time, many young men in ragged clothes emerged from the alley and threw rotten vegetable leaves, cow dung, stones and other objects in his direction.
"What are you doing?" Xie Bai shouted. The people blocking the way cast hateful eyes at Xie Zhan.
"Xie Zhan, you evil ghost, how far are you going to push us ordinary people?"
"Yes, do you want to kill us?"
"How can you be so cruel? You used horse racing to rob the people, and now you want us to spend a lot of money to buy white linen and other sacrificial supplies? You will do anything for money."
"Do you want to force us to death before you are satisfied?!" After hearing this, Xie Zhan frowned slightly. His first reaction was that Pingzhou was behind this.
After his guards resolved the matter, he questioned the arrested people and then sent people to investigate the matter in detail.
When he checked, he found out that it was the people from the horse racing secret dealer in Yuzhou who went to collect debts and forced a family of twelve to death.
This incident aroused public outrage and public opinion was heated. Countless victims of horse racing surrounded the government office and demanded that the government severely punish the culprit.
Under the guidance of the Pingzhou navy, the government was also swept up by public opinion and investigated further. He had originally intended to eradicate the horse-racing clandestine gambling houses in Dali, and Fan Yang and Zuo Anmin and other confidants knew about this.
After the officials in Yuzhou consulted their superiors and got instructions, they started to investigate. The investigation led to the discovery of a big fish, Cao Huating.
Cao Huating was one of the owners of the horse racing secret bank behind Dali. But when Cao Huating was arrested, he confessed that there was someone behind him.
The Yuzhou government had to continue the investigation, and finally Cao Huating confessed in public, revealing the identity of the mastermind behind the secret horse racing casinos that were all over Dali. This person was none other than Xie Zhan, the Regent!
In addition to him, there were two other small bosses, one was Lord Wang Yun, and the other was the second Xianbei prince Tuoba Jin.
Once this news was announced, it caused a huge uproar.
"Cao Huating? Check his identity!" Xie Zhan ordered. After checking, he found out that he was a remnant of the Zhu family in the south, and this must be his revenge on him.
Xie Zhan knew very well that Zhu Huating must have escaped death at this moment.
"Master, what should we do now?" Xie Zhan pinched his brows. The current public opinion was very unfavorable to him. This was a trap, and Fan Yang Zuo Anmin and the others fell into it.
The key point is that Wang Yun actually admitted it! A basin of dirty water was poured down on his head. It directly polluted his reputation as the regent and dealt a heavy blow to his prestige.
Thinking about him, during this period of time, everyone in Dali, from the emperor to the officials of the aristocratic families, was played in his hands.
But he fell into Lu Songli's hands. Lu Songli, ah Lu Songli, his methods are getting more and more dirty.
She really didn't even give him a chance to breathe. (After reading, remember to bookmark it for easy reading next time!
