Lord of the House

In the dusk of the twilight, the horses' hooves galloping from the Chongzhou barracks rushed to the northeast, and the horse team quickly obscured the dark twilight.

After the dense forest, Liu Zhi vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the distant post road, secretly thinking that these dozens of horses ran down like this, I was afraid that they would all be abolished by Jimo. The scout Geyi, who was pretending to be a farmer, walked through the woods, lit the sign, approached, and knelt on one knee: "There are sixty-two cavalrymen in the group, and the Jinghai governor's envoy Lin Bie is at the head, leaving the camp and heading to the northeast. We should go to Jimo..."

"Are you sure it's him?" Zhang Yan asked sadly.

"Beijing and the adults have seen him in Hecheng, and they will definitely not admit their mistakes." The scout replied.

"I see, you should step back first." Zhang Yan waved his hand and ordered the scout to step back.

Although he was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the same time, Zhang Yan had been working abroad all the time. Liu Zhi was not familiar with him. At this time, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the master really afraid that he will win over the ten thousand masters?"

Ten thousand is ten thousand, and the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that if he wanted ten thousand masters, he meant Empress Dowager Liang of Wanshou Palace.

"We are all the minions, ears and eyes of the Sage, how can we speculate about the Sacred Heart?" Zhang Yan put his hands together, and did not teach Liu Zhi a straight face. Although he also felt it was a pity, he had made up his mind today, and he still had to make up his mind. He came to be this murdering knife, what can he do?

Seeing Liu Zhi's obedience, he seemed to be still worried about the consequences. Zhang Yan said, "As long as he doesn't lead his troops back to Chongzhou, this matter will be over... I won't tell you, you'll never know who will replace Tang. Haoxin's seat. Either he honestly serves for the court, and the sage will not treat him badly. If he wants to take refuge with the one from the Longevity Palace, he will be dreaming!"

Seeing Zhang Yan speak so decisively, Liu Zhi thought to himself that there must be insider stories and transactions that he could not guess, but he still couldn't hold his breath, and asked again: "I went to Chongzhou to see it, and I can't do without it at this time. The defense of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, isn't the master too risky?"

"Don't kick Tang Haoxin away from Shandong at this time, and when they really become a climate, will it be okay?" Zhang Yan asked back, and smiled sullenly, and said disdainfully, "It's just that Tang Haoxin showed his tail too early, no To appoint King Ning and set up the governor of the four southern counties, thanks to him for thinking! He is old, but he has nothing to do, so how do you know that he is not paving the way for the surnamed Gu?"

When Liu Zhi thought about it, it was really possible. Gu Wuchen was already the left servant of the Jiangning Military Department. If a governor of the four southern counties came out, even if Gu Wuchen couldn't catch up with the first, few people in the second would be qualified to compete with him.

After Tang Haoxin and Zhang Xie broke up, no one called Tang and Gu officials as Tang Party, but there is a saying of Dongyang Party. Isn't the Dongyang Party headed by Gu Wuchen? Compared with the Changhuai Army and Yue Lengqiu, Jiangdong Zuo Army and Dongyang Township Yong are all Gu Wuchen's disciples.

Today, he may not be willing to endure the humiliation to be the king of moving the capital. Most of the King Ning will ascend the throne in Jiangning. At that time, Jiangning will naturally replace Yanjing as the imperial capital.

It is not possible to raise tigers by the side of the imperial capital, and it is no wonder that today he has to be hard-hearted and kick Tang Haoxin away from Shandong to be at ease. But Liu Zhi also wondered who would be sent to Shandong to take over Tang Haoxin's seat today. How many people in the temple today have Tang Haoxin's prestige?

Li Zhuoduan couldn't walk away, and besides, he was obsessed with a lot of things, and Yan Guan was looking for trouble for him all day long. If it wasn't for the saint to protect him, he would have been kicked back to his hometown.

Chen Xinbo? This is possible. After all, Zhang Xie is in the middle of Beijing, and he doesn't have much power. It is better to leave the town. Replacing Tang Haoxin is not without his identity. However, when Chen Xinbo went out of Shandong, it seemed that he could not stop Gu, Lin and the others from turning to the Longevity Palace with resentment.

Yue Lengqiu was in charge of the war with the refugee army, and he couldn't get away from it in time.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi's mind suddenly thought of a person like a thunderbolt, and he suddenly thought that King Shi Lining was not as simple as it seemed.

From Yancheng to Jimo, there are post roads that are connected with twists and turns. The whole journey is 600 miles. Lin Fu set off from Yancheng at dusk on the 23rd day, wearing the stars and wearing the moon. Except for eating dry food and changing horses at the post station, I did not take a short nap all night. Arrive in Jimo before noon.

Seeing the head of Jimo City approaching, Lin Fucai reined his horse a little, so that the horse slowed down a bit, so that when he saw Tang Haoxin, he didn't make himself look too tired.

Gu Siyuan rode his horse alone and waited outside the West City Gate, as if guessing that Lin Fu would come at this time.

Seeing that Gu Siyuan was wearing a filial sackcloth, Lin Fu was struck by lightning, and he rolled off the horse's back as if he was unconscious for a moment, and slammed into the official road of Jimexi City Gate, which was billowing with loess.

Lin Fu turned over and got up, sat on the road stalk, and felt grief in his heart, and felt that the city gate was so far away...

"I bid farewell to King Ning and left from Linzi. Grandpa refused to eat. He said that only when he died in office would the emperor know that he was loyal." Gu Siyuan talked about the things after separating from Chen/Yuanliang. Grandpa wants me to wait for you here, besides this letter, he wants you to read this blood book first..."

Lin Fu first spread out the blood-stained white paper, and wrote with blood on his fingers. There were only crosses, with thousands of words, pressed against Lin Fu's chest: I don't ask for the name of history, but for the sake of people's livelihood!

Lin Bie twitched his lips and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all, but he seemed to see Duke Tang hiding in the clouds like an old fox and laughing. The resentment in my heart was hard to dissipate, so I left this cross in blood.

Lin Fu was not busy reading the letter, respectfully folded the blood book, hid it in his arms, and said to Gu Siyuan: "Grandpa's thoughts, I understand, I won't go into the city, I'll go back to Yancheng to **** me. King Ning enters Jiangning, you can arrange to report the funeral to Beijing and other places." He knelt down on the loess avenue outside the east gate, and kowtowed three times respectfully. Without wiping, he got on his horse, and took Zhao Hu and a group of guards to the direction of Yancheng...

*********

After Lin Fu returned to Yancheng, he stayed in the barracks and did not urge King Ning to set off. Chen/Yuanliang and other Shandong officials learned of Tang Haoxin's death and cried a lot, then left Yancheng and went back to Qingzhou.

Zhang Yan and others waited in Yancheng until the 26th to receive the official funeral letter from Qingzhou, and only then did they know the news of Tang Haoxin's death.

Zhang Yan was also taken aback, and he didn't want Tang Haoxin to die immediately, but he just revealed that he wanted him to die, forcing him to resign and give up his seat in Shandong. He didn't expect Tang Haoxin to be so boned Hard, actually died in office.

What will the officials of the whole Shandong County think? Not many people will directly point the finger at the saint, but they will all know that he and Zhang Xitong joined forces to force Tang Haoxin to death.

What will Lin Bie think?

Zhang Yan also panicked for a while, Zhang Xitong refused to come forward, he dragged Liu Zhi to the military camp outside the city to see Lin Fu, but he replied to Lin Fu's words that he asked Yuanmen Primary School to pass on his behalf: "Keep your filial piety and see the guests ominous. , when you leave for Jiangning, let me know!"

Lin Fu was also willing to lead an army to **** King Ning to Jiangning. Zhang Yan felt a little more at ease, but he also knew that Liang Zi had become deeply tied, so he was quite helpless. For now, it was only enough to stabilize Lin Fu, so he went to meet Zhang Xitong and arrange for King Ning to set off. The matter of going south.

The Yangtze River is a delta landform. The entire Hailing Mansion seems to be a big triangle that extends out. From Chongzhou north to Yancheng, it actually slopes from southeast to northwest, which is the oblique side of the Yangtze River Delta; geographically speaking, Yancheng is located in Jiangning. due north.

The straight line from Chongzhou to Yancheng was more than 800 li, but the straight-line distance from Jiangning to Yancheng was shortened by more than 200 li.

From Yancheng to the south is Muyang, you can take a boat and take the waterway, then to the south is Suyu (now Suqian), and then to the south is Huai'an City, take a boat to Hongzepu, and the west is destroyed by the refugee army. Sizhou City, Haozhou City, and then south is the territory of Dongyangfu, and through the Shiliang River is Chaotiandang in the north of Jiangning City.

After entering Muyang, Ao Canghai led the Changshan Foot Camp to go back to Chongzhou by land, and Lin Su led the Jinghai First Water Battalion to **** King Ning Guanzuo and Wangfu Weiying and his party of more than 4,000 people by water to Jiangning.

Along the way, Lin Fu was alone in a boat, and the cabin was closed. No outsiders were seen except for Zhao Qingshan and other generals under his command, and neither was Liu Zhi. They arrived at Jiangning in peace with each other.

Yue Lengqiu commanded the army to fight against the refugee army in central Henan. Jiangning ministers, led by Cheng Yuqian, were dispatched to Chaotian Dangbei Station to welcome King Ning.

Gu Wuchen also refused to welcome him in the name of filial piety~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

After throwing the rest of Prince Ning's mansion on the north bank, Lin Fu left and went back to Chongzhou, where he moored at the entrance of the prison in a small boat, and met Gu Wuchen. Tang Haoxin also left a suicide note to Gu Wuchen. The current situation and what they can do have been fully discussed before. Tang Haoxin left the blood letter in the hope that they would not harm the righteousness with petty grudges.

After King Ning took over Jiangning, Jiangning would become the real political center of the southeastern counties, but before King Ning took the throne, Yuan Jianwu himself was more of a symbolic symbol, and the authority was almost in the hands of Zhang Xitong, Zhang Yan and Liu. In the hands of Zhi et al., the forces of the Dongyang family are still marginalizing the efforts of these people.

Whether it is the imperial party or the later party, or the Chu party, the Western Qin party, Liang, Cao and other military dignitaries, if King Ning ascends the throne in Jiangning in the future, there are two major forces in the local forces that cannot be ignored by all forces. It is the Wu party, and the first is the Dongyang system.

The Wu Party is not bad. It is dominated by local officials and gentlemen, and they are always willing to be used by officials. However, in the eyes of others, the Dongyang family is much more dangerous. Both Jiangdong Zuojun and Dongyang Xiangyong are in the process of strong expansion, and the situation in the southeast has eroded to the current place, and Gu Wuchen has to be arranged to be the "Minister of Jiang Defense".

If Jiangning is the imperial capital, the power potential of the Dongyang faction is actually much greater than the current Chu Party and Western Qin Party. Emperor Chongguan was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of a rope for ten years. The Cao family divided the northwest or the She family to the southeast, which could not shake the Yuan's rule, but he was afraid that there would be a luxury family and a Cao family next to the imperial capital in the future, so he even used Liang Xi to go to Shandong to replace Tang Haoxin.

Tang Haoxin also wrote in his suicide note to Lin Fusuo that "the emperor is good at power and skill, and the only person who leaves the town of Shandong is Liang Xier, the prince of Zheng Guo." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
