"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 968
The royal capital, the residence of Prime Minister Zuo Yanjing.
In the magnificent living room, Yan Jing, the prime minister of the left with a majestic face, sat at the first place, and a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was standing respectfully under the hall.
This middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was none other than Qi Yifan, Governor of Luyang Province, who rushed to the capital to ask for help.
Qi Yifan is the governor of Luyang Province appointed by the imperial court, but he has no soldiers or power in his hands. Facing the mighty King Ning, he is just a display in Luyang Province.
Therefore, Qi Yifan also took the initiative to get closer to King Ning's command, and worked for King Ning wholeheartedly.
It can be said that King Ning has both sides in the court and the rebels. Before the court and the rebels have no winners, he is still in a wait-and-see state.
Therefore, in the face of the Governor of Luyang Province appointed by the imperial court, King Ning did not kill him, but used him as a channel to contact the imperial court.
This time the Qinghe Army aggressively attacked Luyang Province, and the front line suffered consecutive defeats. The governor of Luyang Province was urgently sent to the capital for help.
After all, Luyang Province is nominally still the territory of the imperial court, so it is only logical for Qi Yifan, the governor, to go to the capital to ask for help.
Qi Yifan, the puppet governor, had to obey King Ning's order, so he had to rush to the capital.
However, Qi Yifan did not go directly to see Emperor Longjun, but first visited Prime Minister Zuo Yanjing.
After all, Yan Jing can be said to be very powerful in the court now, without his nodding, things would be difficult.
"I said Master Qi, if you don't work hard for King Ning in Luyang Province, how come you come to the king's capital when you are free? It's really rare."
Seeing Qi Yifan, Governor of Luyang Province standing respectfully under the hall, Prime Minister Zuo Yanjing's words were full of sarcasm.
After all, Qi Yifan was appointed by the imperial court at the beginning, but in the end he joined King Ning's command to save his life, which made the imperial court very angry.
"Master Zuo Prime Minister, I'm here to ask for help."
Facing Yan Jing's ridicule, Qi Yifan also showed a wry smile, and bluntly stated his purpose for coming here.
"Ask for help, hmph, now I think of the court, what did you do?"
After hearing Qi Yifan's words, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing couldn't help but snort coldly.
King Ning occupied the province of Luyang, and supported his troops with self-respect, so he didn't pay attention to the court at all.
If the court hadn't tried its best to deal with the rebels, King Ning would have been dealt with long ago.
The reason why the imperial court turned a blind eye to King Ning's behavior in Luyang Province is because he wanted to defeat the rebels before freeing up his hands to deal with him.
After all, the current strength of the imperial court is also limited, and the fierce battle with the rebels has consumed a lot of troops. If there is another battle with King Ning's more than 200,000 people, the imperial court will be overwhelmed.
It is precisely because of this that King Ning supported himself in Luyang Province, and the court also suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
The imperial court had already learned that the Qinghe Army had aggressively attacked Luyang Province, and the imperial court was also very happy to see the mighty army being beaten to pieces.
?After all, the Mighty Army did not obey orders and the court, so it would be better to let the Qinghe Army be wiped out, otherwise it will become a trend that cannot be lost in the future.
So now seeing the Governor of Luyang Province running over to ask for help, Yan Jing questioned him unceremoniously.
Qi Yifan, governor of Luyang Province, also showed embarrassment. Although he is the governor, he does not hold real power, so he is also very embarrassed.
"Lord Prime Minister Zuo, the bandit army is aggressively attacking Luyang Province, and the mighty army is retreating steadily. If the imperial court does not send troops to help, Luyang Province will probably fall into the hands of the bandit army." Qi Yifan looked solemn. report.
"So what if it falls into the hands of the bandit army?" Yan Jing said lightly.
"Once the province of Luyang falls into the hands of the bandit army, the strength of the bandit army will be further strengthened, and it will be a great threat to the court at that time."
Seeing Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing bowed his head in deep thought and did not speak, Qi Yifan, Governor of Luyang Province, further threw out King Ning's bargaining chip.
"Prime Minister Zuo, His Royal Highness Ning Wang said that as long as the imperial court can send troops to repel the bandit army, the mighty army will obey the imperial court's edict in the future and follow the imperial court's lead."
"You think I'm a three-year-old, so easy to coax?" Yan Jing couldn't help but sneer.
After all, Yan Jing would not believe these unfounded things.
Once they help King Ning repel the Qinghe army, when the time comes, King Ning willIf you regret that you have voted for the rebel camp, the court will have no place to cry.
"His Royal Highness has followed me to the capital and is willing to stay in the capital." Qi Yifan continued to add.
"Oh, His Royal Highness has arrived in the capital?"
After hearing this, Yan Jing raised his head involuntarily. He didn't expect King Ning to be so willing to spend his money.
"Reporting to Prime Minister Zuo, His Royal Highness lives in the official post."
You must know that the eldest son Long Jun is the next successor of King Ning, and now that King Ning has sent him to the capital, he is regarded as a hostage.
Long Jun is King Ning's favorite son, and he is quite brave to lead the army in battle.
It's just that after the fiasco of the Pengcheng Mansion, those civil and military officials in King Ning's camp also complained about the arrogant and domineering Long Jun.
In order to maintain internal unity, and at the same time, in order to get the imperial court to send troops, King Ning sent Long Junyi to the capital as hostages, praying for the imperial court's military assistance.
Seeing that King Ning sent all his sons to the capital, Yan Jing realized that the situation in Luyang Province was probably quite serious.
Otherwise, with King Ning's arrogant temperament, how could he bow his head to the court like this.
"His Royal Highness Ning Wang said that as long as Prime Minister Zuo can persuade the imperial court to send troops to Luyang Province in front of His Majesty, His Royal Highness Ning Wang will be very grateful."
"I came here in a hurry this time. I just brought a little gift from His Highness King Ning to your lord's house, and please accept it with a smile from your lord Prime Minister Zuo."
While Qi Yifan was speaking, he took out a gift list from his pocket and presented it with both hands.
An internal official took the gift list from Qi Yifan, and handed it to Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing who was sitting there.
Yan Jing is now in a high position and authority, not only the Zuo Prime Minister who speaks his word, but also has many titles, even the prince's tutor.
He really didn't like ordinary things, but when he saw the gift list from King Ning, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Because among the gifts from King Ning, there were five boxes of gold alone, and ten boxes of jewels such as emeralds and night pearls, King Ning was willing to go all out this time.
King Ning has been operating in the Hezhong Province for many years, and has occupied the entire Luyang Province.
This time, in order to get the imperial court to send troops, King Ning also ordered his son Long Jun and Governor of Luyang Province Qi Yifan to bring a large amount of money to the capital for activities.
In addition to the large amount of gold and jewelry given to Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing, some important officials in the court who can speak have also received generous gifts.
"Luyang Province is the court's place, and the bandit army is not allowed to be unrestrained. I will report to His Majesty tomorrow to send troops to assist King Ning in suppressing the bandits."
Seeing that the meeting ceremony of King Ning was so generous, Yan Jing also gave an answer after thinking about it.
He didn't care about these generous gifts from King Ning, he just wanted to push the boat along the way.
After all, as Qi Yifan said, his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. If Luyang Province disappeared, the court would directly face the threat of the bandit army.
If he could help King Ning stop the Qinghe army, then he would be able to buy time for the court to deal with the rebels, and then turn around to fight the Qinghe army.
At the same time, when the imperial court dispatched troops to Luyang Province, it could also take back the actual control of Luyang Province. It is not like now, where Luyang Province belongs to the imperial court in name, but King Ning listens to the instructions and does not listen to the announcement.
