Lord of the House

What Wang Xueshan said is no trivial matter. Even if he said that he had evidence, it was an isolated one. At this time, it was impossible to send someone to Chongzhou to verify. Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian also left Jiangning one after another, and they could not confront each other, but Zhang Yan knew that Huaidong had nothing to do with it. Sincerely, at this time, Jiangning City must not be in chaos.

Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor personally asked Wang Xueshan to be sent to serve as a servant in the Pengcheng county government office, Zhang Yan sent a trusted **** to the government hall in the front hall to speak to Chen Xiyan. The emperor really wants to let his temper go wild, and only Chen Xiyan can handle it.

Jiang Ning was in danger, and the rebels were just a hundred miles away. Chen Xiyan, Zuo Chengmu, Cheng Yuqian, and others stayed almost day and night in the political affairs hall. Zhang Yan sent someone to inform them, and the three hurried to Wenhua Hall to meet them.

Chen Xiyan and others came to the temple, Yongxing Emperor Yuan Jianwu glared at Zhang Yan, knowing that he sent someone to tip off the news, and felt that although he was the honorary of the 95th, he didn't even have an obedient confidant, and his mood was even more irritable. , asked Chen Xiyan and the three with a bluffing face: "The three Aiqings rushed here, what are the important things to report?"

"I have discussed with Prime Minister Zuo and Prime Minister Cheng about recruiting brave soldiers from the city to go to the top of the city to assist in defense, and I came here to discuss an idea with the emperor," Chen Xiyan replied, standing in front of the hall, stabbed Wang Xueshan, and asked , "Why is Lord Wang in the palace?"

"Huaidong will take King Lu into the army camp. If it wasn't for the secret report of Mr. Wang, I and you would have been kept in the dark when we were dying!" Yuan Jianwu asked sharply.

"The emperor must never believe one-sided remarks." Chen Xiyan said.

"Chen Xiangke can guarantee that Huaidong will not disagree?" Yuan Jianwu asked.

Chen Xiyan was speechless, and Huaidong has been arrogant and domineering ever since he used the name of King Qin to attack the west. It's just that due to the situation, and Huaidong's behavior was in the interests of the local forces in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone had to make peace with Huaidong, and then on the issue of the Ninglu dispute, Huaidong was the most important force to support King Ning. . Although Jiangning was suspicious of Huaidong, he had to rely on Huaidong in everything. Everything in Huaidong is self-contained. Ordinary people may regard Huaidong as the mainstay of the court because of its outstanding achievements. Which officials with a little knowledge can pat their chests and say that Huaidong has no dissent?

In the past two years, Chen Xiyan has been planning and planning for everything, but isn't it because he has a desire to suppress Huaidong's dissent?

Chen Xiyan stood there pondering what to say, and Emperor Yongxing Yuan Jianwu continued: "Before the southern expedition to Fujian, Lin Fu went to visit King Lu and the Queen Mother abnormally, and then directly sent Huaidong Jia soldiers to guard the Hailing Palace. , but also through the hands of Huaidong - this kind of thing, Chen Xiang, you also know in your heart, what is impossible for Huaidong to bring King Lu into the military camp today?"

Emperor Yongxing questioned one after another, but none of Chen Xiyan, Zuo Chengmu, Cheng Yuqian, Zhang Yan and others answered, because in their hearts, they would not naively think that Lin Fu was loyal to the imperial court and the Yuan family.

At least before the fall of Huizhou, Jiangning could still get the latest news about the Hailing Palace in time. Although it was normal for Lin Fu to return to Chongzhou to visit the Queen Mother and King Lu, and Huaidong used the excuse that the Hailing Palace was invaded by thieves and sent armored soldiers to strengthen the escort, in the eyes of the conspirators, the normal situation will become abnormal. What's more, Huaidong's behavior of not avoiding suspicion is difficult to justify.

Wang Xueshan said: "Lin Fu will arrive at Xiaoshan on the thirteenth, and the reinforcements from Huaidong have not been seen until today. I'm afraid there is no reason!"

Chen Xiyan was so angry that he blew his beard. He had already stopped Xie Chaozhong's leadership of the army, but he jumped out and turned against the water, causing the court officials to turn around, and finally Huizhou suffered a fiasco. At this time, he jumped out to cause trouble again. , how can people not hate?

Wang Xueshan didn't say it explicitly, but the subtext was as obvious as the louse on the monk: Huaidong's reinforcements were delayed, just waiting for Jiangning to fall, so as to support the new emperor. The Huaidong reinforcements will not come, nor will the Jiangzhou army. Without reinforcements, Jiangning will fall sooner or later.

Wang Xueshan's subtext is to instigate Emperor Yongxing to abandon Jiangning and patrol Huaixi!

There were not many people in the hall, so Chen Xiyan no longer cared about anything, and said directly: "Your Majesty, Huaidong has a different opinion, no matter what, the old minister is willing to defend Jiangning City desperately for the Emperor. As long as Jiangning City is there, the Emperor is still Dayue's. Your Majesty, Huaidong will not dare to do something that is so easy to attack!"

"I shouldn't have listened to your words and let Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian leave the capital." Yuan Jian said in a vigorous voice, more and more certain that Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian's request to leave Beijing was to confirm that the Huaidong reinforcements would not come before Jiangning fell.

"Chen Xiang said every word, please think twice before acting?" Zhang Yan said.

Once Emperor Yongxing left Jiangning and took refuge in Huaixi, how could Jiangning be able to hold it?

In less than three years, the Yuan clan lost the capital twice. What is Dayue talking about about ZTE and imperial power? Could it be that Dong Yuan is a master who eats meat and vomits bones?

Cheng Yuqian and Zuo Chengmu looked at each other, peeking at the emperor's uncertain face, and secretly said: A few days ago, an official asked the emperor to patrol Huaixi to avoid military disasters. Is this the thought?

Chen Xi's words are loyal, full of sincerity, and bitter, and want to keep the last vitality for the Dayue court. Zhang Yan is one of the eunuchs, and he does not have too many concerns, and his authority depends on the trust of the emperor. When the imperial power is lost, Zhang Yan naturally does not have the scenery of the past. Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian have left the land of right and wrong one after another. Cheng Yuqian and Zuo Chengmu have to Consider the way back.

Chen Xiyan winked, Zuo Chengmu and Cheng Yuqian remained silent.

If the emperor decided in his heart that the reinforcements from Huaidong would not come, it would be useless to persuade them, and they could not do it by dragging them around. Once the news came out, it would set off a storm in the city. The determination of the city?

Furthermore, in the hearts of Cheng Yuqian and Zuo Chengmu, it is not surprising that Huaidong did not have the intention of establishing a new emperor after the fall of Jiangning City. People's hearts are always unpredictable, and Pengcheng County is so rebellious. With such a good opportunity in front of him and such great strength in his hands, how many people can resist the temptation?

Chen Xiyan felt helpless, so he reassured: "If the emperor can't trust Huaidong, he can make the minister take the emperor's eldest son to Huaixi, and the clan also has the king of Chu in Huaixi to rely on..."

The eldest son of Emperor Yongxing died at a young age. At this time, the eldest son of the emperor was actually the second son. He was only four years old. Emperor Yongxing was at its peak in spring and autumn, so he did not rush to establish a prince.

Zhang Yan secretly feels that this strategy is not very good. Even if the eldest son of the emperor is sent to Huaixi, if Jiangning City falls, Huaidong can still use the excuse that "the national disaster is the first, the elders will not raise the young", and forcefully support the King of Lu. What?

What's more, Huaidong still has the Queen Mother's chess piece available.

Emperor Chongguan was a brother and a brother, and Emperor Yongxing was also supported by all the ministers. With these two precedents, after the fall of Jiangning, Dong Yuan held the eldest son of the four-year-old emperor, and Huaidong held the long-adulted son. King Lu, who has experienced many disasters, even if the emperor has a secret edict to accompany him, the final compromise is probably to make King Lu the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince.

The most important thing at the moment is to persuade the emperor to allay the worry that Jiang Ning will fall.

Cheng Yuqian and Zuo Chengmu thought that the emperor might not have the determination to live and die together with Jiang Ning.

Yongxing Emperor Yuanjian Wu said with a sullen face: "Immediately plan to order Huaidong to come from the Yangtze River to reinforce the army, transfer from Jiyang to Taihu Lake, and assist Liyang from Jingyi, don't let them come to Jiangning, and discuss other matters!"

Everyone stood in front of the hall and looked at each other. The emperor was already worried that crossing the river to Huaixi might be hijacked by the Huaidong Army. How else could they persuade them?

"I dare not obey the decree!" Chen Xiyan knelt down on his knees, and spit out five words while he was tied up, his eyes fixed on Cheng Yuqian and Zuo Chengmu. According to the book, the Huaidong Army can also disobey it greatly.

Since the emperor was worried that crossing the river would be hijacked by the Huaidong navy, he would use the Huaidong navy to block the emperor in Jiangning City.

If Jiang Ning falls after the emperor's abandonment, Da Yue will no longer be the Yuan clan's Da Yue, even if he can hold on to it in the end.

Even if the emperor died in battle in Jiangning City, the people all over the world would still feel the loyalty of the emperor and the Yuan clan. Even if Huaidong finally embraces King Lu, there will continue to be loyal and good people loyal to the new emperor - the most powerful means for King Lu to fight against Huaidong, get rid of Huaidong's control, and pass on the clan.

"You!" Yuan Jianwu was so angry that his eyes were red, and he smashed his bosom to pieces, which shocked the eunuchs who were standing there. palace."

Not only Chen Xiyan, Zuo Chengmu, and Cheng Yuqian could draft the decree, but Wang Tian was also the deputy minister of the Political Office~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but was affected by Xie Chaozhong's affairs, so he kept a low profile during this time. With such a situation at stake, Wang Tian rarely showed his face in the political affairs hall and the palace.

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Zhang Yan regretted that he and Chen Xiyan had not insisted on preventing Xie Chaozhong from going out to lead the troops. If he does not stop him now, the imperial power will really be left to his house. Even if the decree was issued, wouldn't the Huaidong Army still follow his own will? Afterwards, you can use the imperial decree to shirk your responsibility.

The emperor went to Huaixi, but it was more likely to push Dayue to the brink of collapse; he took ten thousand steps back and said that even if the Huai East Army entered Jiangning City at this time, there were still a group of prestigious and influential veterans in the court. It's not even Huaidong's turn to cover the sky with one hand!

It's just that at this time, how can you say the words of welcoming the Huai East Army into the city? The emperor got into the tip of the bull's horn, and he would not listen to any persuasion, so he could only bite the bullet and stop it.

"Do you think I am greedy for life and afraid of death? Even if I die, I can't let the Sheji Jiangshan fall into the hands of other families. It is not too bad to make King Lu the emperor's younger brother, but the emperor's younger brother cannot fall into the hands of Huaidong. , why don't you understand my thoughts?" Emperor Yongxing said sadly.

Wang Xueshan watched with a cold eye and smiled: The emperor has long since left his mind, and he has no intention of coexisting or dying with Jiang Ning. It is ridiculous that Chen Xiyan and others are kept in the dark. Even if Chen Xiyan and Zhang Yan tried to persuade each other, but Cheng Yuqian and Zuo Chengmu remained silent, I was afraid that they also wanted to go, and if it was extended to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people would be willing to stick to Jiangning?

Wang Xueshan had to admire the cleverness of Shewenzhuang's calculation, and he calculated the thoughts of this group of people in Jiangning City very early.

At this time, a **** ran in and crawled in a crying voice: "Meng Yishan is seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown. The Hanghu army was defeated, Liyang fell, and the rebels came to Jiangning..." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
