Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 265 The crime of stealing the country
"Shield defense!"

An order sounded from the Chinese army's tent.

All the shields surrounded it and formed a steel city wall.

Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down, all hitting the shield.

Gu Xuyang only frightened the soldiers in the Chinese army's tent, and did not continue to approach at all. Instead, he returned and detoured to the left wing.

Shen Youtu, who was in the middle of the melee, and his friendly forces attacked from front to back. The left-wing cavalry, which had been defeated, suffered a fatal blow.

"Liu Fan, the Chinese army is pressing forward, don't let them escape!"

Liu Mu issued the order.

The Chinese army is a mixed arms force with large-scale movements, which cannot be compared with the cavalry.

Shen Youtu and Gu Xuyang combined into one, not only killing the left-wing cavalry and almost annihilating the entire army, but also fled north along the river.

At the same time, General Ma Chenghao, who was crossing the river downstream, also adopted dissociative tactics, which made Liu Qian exhausted but could not block his way at all.

The first tentative battle at Fenglingdu lasted for four hours and ended with Liu Mu's casualties of more than 1 cavalry.

However, Chen Lin also claimed that the Yulin Army suffered heavy losses, with more than 1 casualties.

Therefore, the information Lu Hao received was that each side suffered more than 1 casualties.

Of course, if the two sides look at this comparison of forces, Chen Lin seems to be at a greater disadvantage.

Who would have thought that in this battle, Chen Lin not only took advantage, but also figured out Liu Mu's military arrangements. The most important thing was that it damaged the morale of Beifu's soldiers.

……

At the same time, two pieces of gossip spread throughout the imperial city.

One is that Patriarch Murong of the Imperial Tomb is preparing to establish a new king. As for who the new king will be, everyone has room for speculation.

The second is that the emperor will take Concubine Yi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors, ask to see the ancestors, and seek confirmation of the establishment of a new king.

Lu Hao returned to the military aircraft and immediately began to make arrangements for the imperial concubine's trip tomorrow.

Of course, the two pieces of news made a huge fuss and had already spread out of the palace and reached the ears of the Nine Emperors Uncle.

"What? The Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are going to see the ancestor?"

Uncle Nine Emperors was also shocked when he heard the news.

"Father, if His Royal Highness goes to see the ancestor, wouldn't this matter..."

When Murong Yong thought about the consequences, he panicked.

"Now this is a bit tricky!"

Uncle Nine Emperors was also caught off guard.

"Father, what shall we do now?"

Murong Yong was also a little anxious.

"If Concubine Yi goes to the imperial mausoleum, no matter whether she can see the ancestor or not, the matter will probably be revealed, and the news is obviously Concubine Yi's conspiracy..."

"If this is the case, we will have to start early!"

Murong Potian said in a deep voice.

"Father, you mean..."

Murong Yong's eyes were shining with excitement.

"Yes, we deliberately showed weakness and gave Dugu a chance to bravely escape to Yanshan Camp. Otherwise, this matter would not be so complicated."

Murong Potian regretted not taking action earlier.

"Inform me, everyone will come to the palace at midnight tonight to discuss."

Uncle Nine Emperors ordered coldly.

"Yes, my child will do it right away."

Murong Yong was ordered to leave.

……

Lu Hao sat at the military aircraft office and immediately summoned several adults and Wu Qingyu to arrange tomorrow's trip.

When the emperor went on a tour, the imperial concubine and His Royal Highness accompanied him to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to his ancestors. The security and defense work along the way was naturally left to the Imperial Guard.

The Yi sisters and the four generals of the Imperial City got the news and hurried over.

The hall of the Military Aircraft Department was filled with Lu Hao's cronies.

"I believe all of you have heard that the emperor and his concubine are going to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow to pay homage to their ancestors and to verify the rumors about establishing a new king..."

Lu Hao did not hide the news at all.

"Establishing a new king? Where did this rumor come from? The ancestor should not interfere in the affairs of the court, right?"

Wu Qingyu said in surprise. "Why establish a new king? I think this is treason!"

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince was appointed by the Emperor himself. Anyone who dares to talk about establishing a new king is committing treason and committing the crime of stealing the country!"

"Prime Minister, I think the source of the rumor should be investigated immediately, and the person who deceives the public with his lies should be arrested and executed without mercy!"

"..."

Several adults were furious.

"My lords, there is no need to be so anxious. The emperor and the imperial concubine went to the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors also to verify this matter and to silence everyone."

Lu Hao smiled calmly.

"Everything depends on the Prime Minister!"

Seeing how calm everyone was, they relaxed a lot.

"Tomorrow morning, the commander of the imperial guards, Yi Ruyan, will lead [-] imperial guards and will be responsible for the safety of the patrol team. The deputy commander, Yi Rushuang, will sit in the palace and be responsible for the security of the palace."

Lu Hao issued the first order.

"Leader!"

The two sisters responded immediately.

"The specific itinerary for tomorrow will be led by the Minister of Rites, who will summon all civil and military officials to accompany the emperor to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors. As for asking to see the ancestors, there is no need to force it, just let it take its own course."

"The Ministry of Rites must prepare the relevant sacrifices for this ancestor worship in accordance with the ancestral rituals, and..."

"The official department has compiled a list of the royal relatives and officials who will participate in ancestor worship tomorrow..."

"The Minister of Household Affairs allocated 100 million taels of silver as the cost of this ancestor worship..."

"Four generals, you are stationed in the imperial city and are responsible for the security of the imperial capital..."

"..."

Lu Hao began to arrange it.

"The subordinate takes orders!"

The crowd took their orders away.

After everyone left, Lu Hao called Wu Qingyu into the inner room.

"Master Prime Minister, I wonder what your orders are?"

Wu Qingyu asked.

"Yesterday, Uncle Nine Emperors went to the imperial mausoleum. When he came back, he passed on the ancestor's oral instructions, saying that he would establish a new king..."

Lu Hao told Wu Qingyu in detail what happened.

"Prime Minister, does the Nine Emperors Uncle want to rebel?"

Wu Qingyu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"You're absolutely right!"

Lu Hao nodded slightly.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to kill Uncle Nine Emperors? But, he is a relative of the Emperor..."

Wu Qingyu said with a grimace.

"The most important thing now is that we don't know what Ancestor Murong means. After all, if this matter is really what Ancestor means, His Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Yi will be in danger."

Lu Hao frowned, slightly worried.

Although he guessed that the Nine Emperors Uncle had falsely passed on the ancestor's oral instructions, what if the ancestor just wanted to establish a new king?

This old guy is completely an old monster, and others can't guess what he's thinking.

To be honest, Lu Hao even suspected that his ancestor had the idea of ​​establishing a new king.

"So, the reason why you are going to worship your ancestors tomorrow is to ask for an audience with your ancestors? To prove the authenticity of this matter?"

Wu Qingyu finally understood.

"Yes, but when we leave the imperial city tomorrow, there will not be so many military protections. I am worried that something unexpected will happen tomorrow..."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, my subordinates will strengthen their defense tomorrow to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of us!"

Wu Qingyu promised.

"Many of the emperor's relatives will go there tomorrow and send people to monitor Dugu Shenyong. The truth is that I am worried that he will suddenly go crazy..."

Lu Hao said coldly.
