Lord of the House

In early November, Jiangning also experienced heavy snowfall for several days. In the severe cold weather, in front of the house and behind the house, the ice skates under the eaves hung like thorns with a pestle like a spear. The ice skater had a great time, and he didn't even care about the heavy snow hitting his body and making his clothes wet/wet.

A team of officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns, and more than a dozen prison carts, drove into the city from Donghuamen in the wind and snow. There were men and women in the prison car, and they must be important prisoners. Behind the car, there was a long line of prisoners strung with ropes. There were more than 200 officers and soldiers in custody alone.

Jiangning is now Xinjing, so many prisoners are escorted into Beijing, which is also very eye-catching - the weather is extremely cold, and there is naturally a lot less lively on weekdays. The **** team has just entered Donghuamen, two streets. The side is crowded with people watching the lively market.

The current prison car is attached with a notice board, which states the crimes committed by this gangster, and some literate people shake their heads and read: "Chen Hansan, the former envoy of Xuzhou system, was worried about Gu Huangen, and he wanted to dedicate the city to the thieves. The thieves colluded and wanted to lure the Huaidong Army into submission, but they were defeated and fled. Chen Hansan raised an army to rebel in Xuzhou. "

Chen Hansan rebelled in Xuzhou, colluded with Yanhu, and the news that 50,000 soldiers and horses had beaten the 20,000 elites of Huaidong Army under Xuzhou city and even lost their underwear had already spread in Jiangning city. The details of breaking the ice and trapping the enemy are also spread out in Jiangning. In order to face the sound, Zhao Shuhan also specially demonstrated the techniques of sprinkling salt to melt snow and charcoal ice in Hekou Thatched Cottage to promote miscellaneous learning.

Qingliu, a scholar, suddenly realized that he understood and made sense, but the peddler of the dealer knew these things, how to pass them on or how to pass them on.

In the battle of Xuzhou, although Liang Xi, the Duke of Lu, was still trapped in Dongping, those who understood the situation were always relieved. The hidden danger of Chen Hansan was eliminated, and the elites of Huaidong were in front of them, so they could finally feel at ease. get through this winter.

When Chen Hansan rebelled, it was spread, but it is only today that some criminals were escorted to Beijing to stand trial. There has always been a tradition in the world that "one person breaks the law and brings disaster to the family". , saliva, rotten cabbage and other people to take care of them, and even rush to punch them, or smash them with bricks and stones. It took a lot of effort for the escorting officers and soldiers to push the crowd away and head towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

When passing by the Xiubai Building, the drinkers in the building also joined in the fun. Some good people brought a basin of cold water and poured it from the second floor. The officers and soldiers on the side were also involved and got wet.

In this cold winter when the north wind is like a knife, it is not fun to get wet with cold water. The leading general also knew that the people in the market were angry with Chen Hansan for rebelling, and stopped his subordinates from leaving the team without authorization.

At this time, a guest upstairs in Xiubai said: "Offend, offend, here are a few jugs of wine for the military master to drink to keep out the cold, it is considered as Fu's apology, and the military masters in Huaidong are also asked to kill a few more Hugou traitors on the battlefield. thief!"

Everyone praised it, and some even threw down the robe and said: "The Huaidong Army is wet, a big sin, a big sin, a leather robe, please put on a leather robe to keep out the cold..." Between the window pavilions, there are kagi dance girls. And the prostitute who sold the flesh stuck her head out, threw the scented handkerchief down, winked, and even more bold people claimed to entertain Huaidong generals for free, which also caused a lot of applause, and no one paid any attention to the ice water in the prison car. The female prisoner shivered, almost freezing to death.

In a small pavilion in the Xiubai Building, there were two people standing in front of the window, watching everything on the street with cold eyes. They turned around and closed the window when the escorting prisoners drifted away.

In this wine pavilion, a foot stove is burned for warmth, and good charcoal is used, and sandalwood foam is sprinkled, and the fragrance overflows the room.

Both of the drinkers were wearing blue-collared robes, one had a white face and no beard, and the other had a dark face and a long beard that stretched to the neck.

Looking at the past, the man with no beard under his chin held a pot and poured wine for the other person, and said, "Now Huaidong has assembled 40,000 elites in Linzhou, and they have invited Dong Yuan and Tao Chun to lead their troops over, and they want to meet Shouzhang in Linzhou. In between, what does Yue Xiang think about a showdown with Yan Hu?"

"What is the emperor thinking?" another asked.

"The Qingzhou incident was defeated and Liang Guogong was surrounded by Dongping again. There is nothing to say about the old grievances and grievances. The matter cannot be blamed on you, Prime Minister Yue, the emperor also knows it; Chen Hansan's nail was pulled out smoothly beyond his imagination, and he doesn't understand the siege of Dongping, it seems that he can't justify it?" said the unneeded man.

These two are not other people, they are Yue Lengqiu, who was punished and resigned after Liu Ye flew down to the enemy, and Zhang Yan, the envoy of Zhidu and salt and iron. After the incident of Chen Hansan came out, the day when Yue Leng returned to the dynasty from Qiuqiu was even more distant.

Emperor Yongxing was inconvenient to call Yue Lengqiu into the palace to ask about the policy. For fear of questioning other ministers, he asked Zhang Yan to meet Yue Lengqiu and ask about state affairs.

Yue Lengqiu didn't know whether the new emperor really trusted him, attached great importance to him, or meant to appease him, but after listening to Zhang Yan's words, he knew that the emperor's mind did not really want to solve the siege of Dongping, he must have a grudge The matter of supporting the establishment is even more unwilling that the Liang family can still hold a group under Liang Xi, the Duke of Lu.

Compared with the Liang family holding together under Liang Cheng, the Duke of Lu, and letting the brothers Liang Chengchong and Liang Chengyi lead the troops separately, the threat to Jiangning is much smaller.

I think so, but if the emperor exposes this idea, it will be a loss of morality, and it will be indebted to his ministers, and he will not be able to explain it to the government and the public, and to the world. As far as Yue Lengqiu knew, Chen Xiyan and others all supported the solution of the siege of Dongping, which made the emperor even more unable to express his position, and only complained. Policy.

Yue Lengqiu pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Yan, "Master Zhang went to Mr. Chen, and asked him who the troops would be in Linzhou, who should be the leader, and we can't make a mess and fight each other..."

Zhang Yan said: "I also mean the same, the reputation of Huaidong is about to break the sky now; the victory of Xuzhou, there is a discussion in the courtroom to give Lin Huaidong the Duke of the County and the Duke of the State. If this wins another great victory, it will be What is good to seal? Lin Huaidong is young, and he will never be willing to enter the court to work for each other, so there is nothing to reward. Since ancient times, it is not a good thing to have a high-ranking master. Why do you think Chen Xiang was confused for a while? Besides, Xuzhou's victory was a fluke, but it can't be repeated. As far as I mean, it is still appropriate to act according to the previous arrangement: the Duke of Lu broke through the encirclement on his own, and the Changhuai Army should take advantage of this favorable opportunity to retreat and preserve its strength. It's not a rash battle, betting so much money on it."

Yue Lengqiu sighed softly in his heart. He knew that what he said just now was in vain. Zhang Yan was also a strange person. If you can't see it, you will be blind; I am afraid that Chen Xiyan also understands this truth in his heart.

However, the victory in Xuzhou is very exciting. If the court wants anyone to say no to fight, most of them will bear the name of fearing the enemy, cowardly fighting, and not being saved. The emperor does not want to bear this, and Chen Xiyan naturally does not want to bear this. Dong Yuan didn't want to bear this either, but in the real fight, whether it was victory or defeat, the outcome was not what the emperor or Chen Xiyan wanted to see, so at this time someone needed to stand up and take the blame.

Yue Lengqiu has already carried too much guilt, and he is not qualified to carry this guilt now, so who can carry it?

As long as Tao Chun led the Changhuai Army to retreat from Daliang, he would not be able to continue the battle on the spot. Tao Chun was charged with fearing the enemy and fighting cowardly. But Tao Chun may not be willing to bear it. Tao Chun is a military general who seeks military fame and fortune. Who wants to be imprinted with fear of the enemy and cowardice?

In addition, "the general is outside, and the emperor's orders will not be granted." Even if the imperial court ordered the Changhuai army to withdraw, Tao Chun might still be tempted and instigated by Lin Bing, and join forces to fight Shouzhang's captive soldiers - so it is necessary. Yue Lengqiu came to be the lobbyist.

"As a minister, he solves problems and worries for the emperor. General Tao is loyal to the imperial court, and the emperor will not punish him for his cowardice. In addition, the luxury family is also eager to move on the western front. The emperor's intention is to think There is a minister who can rest assured to go to the western front to watch, and Huaidong can't let everything carry it." Zhang Yan saw Yue Lengqiu fell into silence, and knew that he had seen his intentions, so he simply explained the words: the emperor did not want to Liang Xi escaped from Dongping comfortably, and did not want Huaidong to make further achievements and make a big impact.

Yue Lengqiu sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that Lin Fu gathered troops in Linzhou, and he might not be sure to drive away the enemy soldiers who gathered in Shouzhang, but at this time it was hard to say anything. The army was dead, but he was able to win by odd tactics. In the current situation, there is no possibility for him to appear again in a short period of time, but it is better to be a minister of the frontier than to be idle in the house, he nodded and said: "It is Yue's duty to relieve the worries of the king, and it is snowing in the city. It’s so big, and the snow scene outside the city must be more worth seeing, so I’ll go out of the city for a walk!”

"There is Prime Minister Lao Yue." Zhang Yan said.

After speaking here, Zhang Yan and Yue Lengqiu left Xiubai Building with their squires~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the wind and snow, dozens of riders surrounded a plain carriage out of Jiangning, crossing the river north, from Dongyang Passing through Haozhou, crossing the Huaihe River to Guoyang...

Although Yue Lengqiu said his resignation, his whereabouts always affected the minds of many people. Lin Xuwen also quickly knew that Yue Lengqiu had left Jiangning and headed north. He rushed Zhang Yubo back to Beijing to report his work, and went to a banquet at Lin Xuwen's mansion. When he heard the news that Yue Lengqiu had left Beijing, he wanted to drop the wine glass: "Great rivers and mountains, great rivers and mountains, if there is a chance to take it back but not take it, I have to hand it over. Give it to Hulu, where is the principle of heaven! Where is the principle of heaven!"

Ordinary officials, no matter if they are in office or in an official position, have to sue you when they leave Beijing; how could someone like Yue Lengqiu leave Beijing casually? Without the emperor's acquiescence, Yue Lengqiu's private departure from the capital will inevitably stir up a huge wave - everything is silent, indicating that Yue Lengqiu's departure is the emperor's acquiescence.

If the imperial court wants to fight, an imperial decree orders Dong Yuan, Tao Chun, and Liang Chengchong to submit to Huaidong's control. If they can gather 140,000 troops in Linzhou, why do they need Yue Lengqiu, an old man who is idle at home, to work in Beijing. ?

In the past few days, several imperial decrees have been rewarding the achievements of the northern armies, but they have been reluctant to authorize Lin Fu to preside over the northern front. Huang Jinnian, who was present, was not confused, and he could guess that the emperor did not want to fight any more, but he had good face, and did not want him to personally decree to call back all the troops on the northern front, asking Yue Lengqiu to go north and persuade Dong Yuan or Tao Chun to take over. The scapegoat.

Zhang Yubo was really angry, Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian looked at each other and echoed what Zhang Yubo said, but there was not much anger in his heart - Lin Bie's mind actually didn't want to fight, Huaidong was too lazy to care about Liang Xi's life and death.
