Chapter 623: A Familiar Face(1/3)
The middle-aged man is the governor of Beizhou, He Wansheng!
At this moment, he listened to the analysis of the master and adviser in front of him, frowned and had not spoken for a long time.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold and arrogant aura was revealed all over his body.
The master in front of him did not respond when he saw the adults, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, you have to be careful..."
"Once the war is over, the prince will definitely turn his head to deal with you and me, the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked better than the officials..."
The master's face was full of sorrow and worry.
He had to worry about this!
Since the fall of the Northern Qi country more than ten years ago, in order to suppress the remaining rebels of Northern Qi, it has prompted the integration and intermarriage between the people of Northern Qi and the people of Dazhao.
The imperial general He Wansheng was appointed as the governor of Beizhou, and he was in charge of the 300,000 troops in Beizhou to defend the northern border of Dazhao. At the same time, it was also to suppress the rebels in Beizhou.
Over the past decade, He Wansheng has delivered a pretty satisfactory answer!
During the more than ten years he was in charge of Beizhou, the old rebels in the Northern Qi Dynasty did not cause any major waves.
Even if there is a small rebellion, it will be quickly suppressed.
The current situation in Beizhou is still stable.
But at the same time, in order to suppress the territory of Beizhou, the court also gave He Wansheng too much power.
Whether it is the regime or military power, almost all of them are in the hands of He Wansheng.
With more than ten years of operation, the Beizhou territory has almost become the world of He Wansheng.
With heavy troops in his hand, he naturally became a thorn in the heart of the court.
In recent years, the court has tried every means to weaken He Wansheng's control over Beizhou and gradually reduce his military power.
Even the troops guarding the northern border were gradually weakened and taken over by the imperial court.
But even so, He Wansheng still had nearly 100,000 troops in his hands.
These troops were to suppress the army of the rebellious party in Beizhou and were also an indispensable force in Beizhou.
Such a huge force still makes the court restless.
However, due to the special nature of Beizhou, the court was unable to completely weaken the military power in He Wansheng's hands, and Jiangnan also became a major concern for the court, so the court did not press on him too much.
But now, with the rebellion of the prince in Jiangnan, the original balance has been completely broken!
What will happen in the future in Dazhao?
No one knows!
But what is certain is that if Prince Zhaonan successfully enters the capital, his rebellion will be successful!
Once Prince Zhaonan ascends the throne and stabilizes the situation, he will definitely be the first to attack Beizhou!
Take action against He Wansheng!
The nearly 100,000 troops in his hand will definitely become a thorn in the court's side!
He Wansheng slowly withdrew his mind and glanced at him: "In your opinion, what should I do?"
The master hesitated for a moment, but said, "There is a question from the lower official and I want to ask you first!"
He Wansheng said lightly: "Ask."
"Sir, do you think the prince is suitable to be an emperor?"
The master said in a deep voice: "Can the prince become a good emperor?"
He Wansheng was silent.
The silence atmosphere is a bit weird!
The master was very patient and quietly waited for the adult's answer.
After a long time, He Wansheng said coldly: "Is this very important?"
“It’s very important!”
The master nodded: "My lord, although you were the one who followed the prince back then,... I actually thought from the bottom of my heart that the prince would not be a qualified emperor, right?"
He Wansheng didn't speak.
The master said in a deep voice: "The late emperor is kind. Although he did nothing in the later period, my Dazhao is still stable. Back then, the late emperor was also ruthless and did not harm the prince..."
Back then, the prince was extremely powerful, but he could not beat the late emperor in the end. After being plotted, he was forced to stay away from the court.
However, over the past decade, the late emperor has never harmed him.
"However, for his so-called emperor dream, the prince openly rebelled and dragged me into the quagmire of war... Lord, you have been with the prince for the longest time, and you should know the prince's character the most!"
"Those who accomplish great things are not focused on the details, but the prince's temperament is a bit too ruthless..."
The master sighed slightly: "If the prince ascended the throne, it would not be a good thing. At least... you and I may not have any good ending!"
The curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and He Wansheng looked out of the carriage.
The bustling and lively streets present the glory of this city.
The people around him who were avoiding him had a slightly fearful look.
He Wansheng had no expression on his face.
"Now the prince controls the Jiangnan region and will soon lead his troops north. Whether the court can block the prince's offensive is very important..."
The master looked at He Wansheng and said in a deep voice: "From the officials, the adults should prepare early, and they may have to think of a way out in advance..."
The master didn't continue talking.
He has already said it very clearly. The rest depends on how the adults should make a decision!
This rebellion, whether it is the court or the prince, won, it is not very beneficial to their Beizhou!
The key is to see how many favorable positions the adults can occupy and how much benefits they can gain from this critical battle.
He Wansheng didn't say anything, and his cold eyes quietly stared out the window, and the bustling scenery was filled with scenes.
All of this...is his work!
After the fall of the Northern Qi country, the Sunset City was destroyed.
It took him more than ten years to rebuild Sunset City.
Most of the prosperity of Sunset City today is his contribution!
No matter when, he would not allow anything to take it away!
Thinking of this, his eyes became colder.
"Where is the eldest princess?"
He Wansheng seemed to realize something and asked in a deep voice.
The master spoke respectfully: "Since the eldest princess left the capital, she has disappeared, and her subordinates are not sure about her movements. However, there are rumors that she appeared in Nanzhou half a month ago, and the news is not true or false..."
"Nanzhou..."
He Wansheng murmured, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
She gave up?
That doesn't seem to be her character.
"Check it out!"
He Wansheng said lightly: "I want to see her!"
"yes!"
The master nodded respectfully.
He Wansheng's eyes looked out the car window again.
He rarely traveled like this. Although this Sunset City was rebuilt by him, He Wansheng rarely appeared in Sunset City.
Most of the time, I either stayed in the governor's mansion or inspected various parts of the Beizhou to deal with important matters.
Tonight, I had a rare time to pass by, so I specially slowed down the carriage and patrolled the night of the sunset city.
But at this moment, when He Wansheng's eyes fell outside the window, he accidentally glanced at him and saw a figure.
On that bustling and lively street, in front of a carpet, he saw a young girl.
I occasionally glanced at the girl's side face, and there was a hint of familiarity, but I didn't take it to my heart.
And at this moment, the girl suddenly turned around and a beautiful and beautiful face appeared in He Wansheng's sight.
Just a glance.
He Wansheng's eyes suddenly condensed.
It seemed as if something had hit him hard!
His pupils gradually dilate, staring at the girl not far away.
To be continued...
