Bright Spring

Li Rang sat in the room for a long time without doing anything, and when the servant came out with his official uniform, he changed into it.Then he walked to the door of the wing room, suddenly turned around and said to the servant: "You tell Madam..."

The servant hurriedly bent down.

Li Rang seemed hesitant to speak, and finally continued: "Reassure Madam, I will go home soon."

The servant choked up and said, "Yes."

Li Rang obediently followed the two Jinyiwei sergeants out of the house, got into a carriage and left.He didn't resist at all, mainly because he couldn't resist. All the main troops of the Chengdu guard were taken away by Xue Lu, fled, surrendered, or died. Now Li Rang is bare; It will only get worse and affect more people!

He was taken to the office of the Sichuan chief envoy and went to a study room, but no one gave him trouble for the time being.Li Rang noticed that there was an airtight curtain hanging behind the study. He couldn't see what was behind, but it was not easy to check, because he always felt that there was someone behind!

After a while, a big man walked in, a person he had never seen before.The big man sat down casually on a chair, and said, "I'm from Jin Yiwei, and my surname is Di."

Li Rang cupped his fists and said, "General Di, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The big man surnamed Di clasped his fists in return, and said, "There is something I would like to ask Commander Li. More than a month ago, to be clear, it was September 28, You hour. Commander Li visited a man who was probably in his twenties. who?"

Li Rang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and slowly said: "Cousin, my cousin, surnamed Zhang."

The big man nodded thoughtfully.

Li Rang had already prepared his speech, thinking that the big man wanted to ask about the relationship in detail, but the big man bowed and said, "Commander Li may not understand the situation. During those days, more than one person from the Sichuan guards met Many people have admitted to the secret envoy of the King of Han. As for Mrs. Zun’s cousin, who happened to arrive mysteriously in those few days, such a thing is really strange. Don’t you think so?”

Li Rang nodded and took a deep breath secretly.

The big man said: "The king of Han sent secret envoys to persuade us to surrender. We expected this kind of thing, and we don't blame the generals. What can you do if the king of Han wants to send spies?" He paused, then continued, " Don't worry, those generals didn't agree to the conditions of Han Wang's spy, so everything is fine now..."

"Yangwuhou, he is more ruthless in doing things, but he has left Chengdu, don't be intimidated by what Yangwuhou did." The tone of the big man was very good, "Now the chief envoy Guo Gong and Guo Butang are in charge In the military administration of the Chengdu government, Guo Butang is a well-educated Confucian who has read the books of sages and sages, and he is humane and reasonable in everything, and will never embarrass Commander Li."

There was silence in the study.Li Rang's mind was turbulent, and at a certain moment, he wanted to admit it. After all, the other party was really polite and what he said made sense. If the spy wanted to come to him, there was nothing he could do!

But Li Rang finally said nothing.

The big man said: "Actually, we have caught that spy. Guo Butang thinks that General Li is justifiable. It depends on what General Li means."

Li Rang closed his mouth, clenched his teeth and then loosened them, "That man is really not a spy, I'm afraid Guo Butang and General Di misunderstood!"

"Bang!" The big man slapped the table with his palm suddenly, and the teacup on it bounced "jingling, jingling, jingling".The big man pointed at Li Rang and said coldly, "I look at you, don't you know Jin Yiwei's methods? You don't want to drink a toast!"

Li Rang hurriedly said with a mournful face: "This general's future has been ruined by the woman, and that mother's family in the contemptuous wife has made trouble for this general more than once..."

"Good! Good!" The big man stood up, "General Li won't be reconciled if he doesn't go through the water first."

"Cough, cough." There were two soft coughs from behind the curtain.

The big man immediately went behind the curtain.After a while, he opened the curtain again and came out, saying: "Commander Li, you go home now, so you can stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere, let alone send people out to have sex with irrelevant people. You can do it yourself." !"

...Three days after the Battle of Taipingchang, Xue Lu had arrived in Chongqing Mansion.Jin Yiwei immediately went to the army to meet him and asked him to lead the army to help counter the rebellion if necessary.

Only then did Xue Lu know that Xu Hua, the commander of the Chongqing Guard, was being arrested by the Captain of the Jinyi Guard.

General Jin Yiwei first called Xu Hua to the magistrate's office to speak, revealed his identity, and asked Xu Hua about meeting the spy of the King of Han.But Xue Lu knew in his heart that the Jinyiwei people didn't know whether Xu Hua had any private relations with the King of Han, they must be trying to deceive Xu Hua!

The Jinyiwei soldiers in the capital, no one can control the civil and military affairs of the outer dynasty.But the people sent to the local area, except for those with secret missions, most of the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers are under the control of the emperor's trusted ministers, such as Guo Zi and Xue Lu can manage them; It needs the supervision and help of ministers with great power.

So Xue Lu is clear that the generals of Jinyiwei in Sichuan have never sent anyone to Chongqing Mansion.They wanted to defraud Xu Hua because they had caught several spies and found out that there were Han King spies in various parts of Sichuan contacting the generals, and they found out from the files that Xu Hua was once Qu Neng's former subordinate.

Xue Lu listened by the window at the back of the government office's room.After talking on the phone, Xu Hua admitted: "I have indeed seen that person, but I am a military officer of the Ming court, not a general of a vassal king. I didn't promise him anything, and I refused!"

Jin Yiwei general asked: "Why didn't General Xu arrest the traitor and report it to the commander?"

Looking in through the crack of the window, Xu Hua was not tall, with a long face, little hair on his forehead, but a lot of beard, he looked like a carrot that had just been pulled out of the ground.Xu Hua stared round his eyes and said: "Brother, we are all military officers. It's not like you don't understand. How can you do things too well? The king of Han rebelled, but he is still the holy brother. Why do we people offend too much?"

The general of Jin Yiwei said: "There are people like you in the army, and the army will lose the first battle."

"Damn it!" Xu Hua was furious, "Then Xue Lu was fighting in Chengdu, hundreds of miles away from Chongqing Mansion, and I didn't go at all! He lost the battle, and he can still rely on me?!"

The general of Jin Yiwei said coldly: "You personally admitted that you secretly colluded with the king and traitor, and kept it secret and did not report it. What else can you say? If you are not loyal to the court, you will be a traitor sooner or later!"

"Ge Laozi, I just met and didn't do anything. Didn't you just say it's okay?" Xu Hua pointed at Jin Yiwei's nose and cursed.

Xue Lu turned his head and gave a wink. A group of soldiers next to him opened the back door, rushed in, and pushed Xu Hua to the ground.

Xu Hua twisted his neck vigorously, his face was flushed, and he cursed in a strange mandarin with a strong Sichuan accent, "If I had known this, I would have voted for the King of Han! His mother!"

Jin Yiwei general said: "Didn't you admit it? Who are you in the same party?"

Xu Hua said: "Your mother and I are comrades, slept together, and gave birth to your son!"

The general of Jin Yiwei was furious: "Drag him into prison and beat him to death until he confesses!"

Xu Hua was tied up and dragged out of the room, it was foggy outside.The winter in Chongqing is cold and wet, it seems to be shrouded in fog all day long, and the fog never dissipates.

... At this time in the city of Chengdu, there were hundreds of civilians and military officers standing in the lobby of the General Commander's Office, while Guo Zi, the chief minister, was sitting on the public seat.Guo Zi is not only the chief envoy, but also the secretary of the household department of the imperial court, holding the imperial decree that can control the military and political affairs in Sichuan; now that the general Xue Lu has left Chengdu, Guo Zi has taken over the power of defense in Chengdu.

A group of civil and military officials bowed and stood in the lobby, and the room was full of people.Guo Zi said in a superior position: "Chengdu City has strong walls, sufficient food and fodder, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians; at most two months, two months! Reinforcement from the imperial court's 50 troops will surely arrive. As long as you are loyal to the imperial court and do your best The official will stand in front of the Holy Majesty and ask for credit for you!

To say something unmodest, this official is one of the important ministers that the Holy Majesty relies on.At this critical time, whoever works hard for the official will be the benefactor of the official, and the future will be worry-free.No lies! "

Then Guo Zi waved his hand, and several generals came up and began to arrange the duties of various civil and military guards.

Chapter 4 and One Strong Fortress

The city gates in the distance are closed, the walls are lined with knives and guns, and the muzzles are pitch-black; the strong city looks like a fortress surrounded by iron barrels.Qu Neng rushed to the south gate of Chengdu with a few riders. If that's the case, the prince still has to endure in front of outsiders and pretend to be kind and tolerant?

Everyone admires these fake beatings very much, but can Shi Zi deceive outsiders and his brother?Zhu Yueyao has long seen through that the whole family likes to pretend to be a good person and pretend that humans and animals are harmless!

Zhu Yueyao said coldly: "The prince is just talking?"

"No, of course not...cough cough! I will go to see my father today." The son vowed.

Zhu Yueyao waved his hand: "Stay here first, help the prince come in and rest."

The prince waved his hand and said, "I'm glad you have that kind of heart. I heard that you're in Chengdu today, so I'll come and have a look. You're new here, and when you pack up, you come to the palace to talk."

Shu Wangfu Dianzhan opened the gatehouse, and a group of people entered one after another.

Not long after, the white-faced servant took advantage of Zhu Yueyao's rush to change clothes in the latrine, followed up and said in a low voice: "No wonder the lord can't beat the prince, not only did you judge just now, but you will suffer a lot later! King of Shu Your Majesty does not need to add oil and vinegar, just complain about your grievances to the King of Shu today, what do you think the King of Shu thinks?"

Zhu Yueyao said angrily: "Don't look at the age of the son, he is that kind of person, he is very fake! Anyway, my father has never disliked me, so I don't care about it. As long as you change to a better mansion, don't be so embarrassing. gone."

"My lord is really broken." The white-faced servant said.

Zhu Yueyao glanced back, pointed at the face of the white-faced servant, and said quietly: "Hou Dianzhan, I didn't intend to hit you on purpose. Even for the sake of the King of Han, I wouldn't treat you like this."

"It's all right." Hou Dianzhang and Hou Hai of the Han Palace immediately waved their hands with a light look, "Needless to say, the prince, the lower officials will know."

All the servants and family members in the mansion were busy settling down and tidying up the mansion.Of course Zhu Yueyao didn't have to do anything, he quickly found the study room, went in and asked someone to grind ink and write.
