Lord of the House

It was Tang Fuguan who led the troops to the Donghua Gate. The army spread out along the north and south streets of the imperial city. At the corner of the sun, Tang Fuguan accompanied Huang Jinnian to the imperial city to find Gao Zongting, where Chen Xiyan's body had been carried down the Qiaolou.

Huang Jinnian bowed to Gao Zongting and said, "Gao Dianshu has been tired these days..."

"Master Huang is very polite, Zong Ting was in danger in the imperial city, and there is nothing to be involved in," Gao Zong Ting said in return, and asked Tang Fuguan, "What happened to the Zhejiang and Fujian troops fleeing west?"

"She Feihu led his troops out of the city in the early morning, and took advantage of the darkness and thick fog to cover, and drove the refugees to crowd the many ferry crossings in Longzangpu. We couldn't catch up; General Cunxin and Zong Hai were sitting at the mouth of the river at this time, and for the time being, there was only one unit of Shuiying who went to pursue from Prison Island along Jiangxi..." Tang Fuguan said.

Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others also didn't recognize Tang Fuguan. Seeing that he was a general of the Huaidong Army, they hurriedly asked, "Can Duke Pengcheng be outside the city?" of……

"These two are Master Zhang Yubo Zhang and Master Zhao Shuhan Zhao; Fuguan was originally under the command of Governor Yu..." Gao Zongting introduced on his behalf.

Tang Fuguan saluted Zhao Shuhan and Zhang Yubo, and said, "My lord is still in Liyang, or on his way to Jiangning. A certain person was ordered to go first and arrived in Jiangning only yesterday. He was ordered to specially invite Mr. Huang and Mr. Gao to join forces with Jiangning officials to appease Jiangning's current situation. The chaotic situation is for..." Then he explained the development and changes of the situation outside Jiangning in the past few days, and explained it to Gao Zongting and others in detail.

Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others were trapped in the imperial city, and the news was blocked. How could they know that the situation outside was turned upside down in just a few days. Jiangning changed hands and Jiangzhou changed hands...

"Where is Chen Xiangye now?" Huang Jinnian saw that there were only Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others beside Gao Zongting, and Chen Xiyan and the other officials who stayed behind could not be seen.

Gao Zongting sighed and said, "Just now, Chen Xiangye stood on the Qiaolou, watching the robbers in chaos and the Huaidong Army entering the city and closing his eyes..." Seeing Huang Jinnian stunned, Gao Zongting did not respond for a while. He continued, "Grandpa Zeng became terminally ill after retreating to the imperial city, and left at about the same time as Mr. Chen..."

The corner of Huang Jinnian's mouth was half-smile, Gao Zongting of course knew what he was hiding.

Emperor Yongxing abandoned the city and lost his prestige, like a lost family dog. Huaidong invited the queen dowager out, abolished Emperor Yongxing and established King Lu, it was no longer difficult. However, Chen Xiyan stayed in Jiangning alone, and had the will to die for the country. If he insisted on recovering Jiangning, his prestige in the eyes of scholars and the public would only be higher. Chen Xiyan may be disappointed with Yuan Jianwu, and he may agree with Huaidong's abolition of Ningli. Lu Zhiyi, but he is still loyal to the imperial family and suppresses Huaidong in his bones. Chen Xiyan is a person who is respected and feared, but for Huaidong, it is a trouble after all.

Duke Pengcheng has great talents, but he is too generous. Some of the things he does are underhanded, and the people below should help him think and do it comprehensively. Chen Xiyan passed away when Jiangning recovered, why didn't Huang Jinnian breathe a sigh of relief? And the death of Chen Xiyan and Zeng's grandfather can just add another name of "abandoning loyal ministers" to Emperor Yongxing.

But Huang Jinnian couldn't laugh in front of Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, and others. Even Gao Zongting felt Chen Xiyan's sincerity. In the face of such a character, Gao Zongting would also feel restrained.

"It seems that we can only hope that Prime Minister Yue will intercept the rebels in Chizhou..." Yuan Jinqiu said with emotion. After Chen Xiyan became prime minister, he pulled and beat Huaidong again. If Chen Xiyan was still alive, it would be a headache for Huaidong. Therefore, Huang Jinnian and other Huaidong officials did not have any sadness on their faces, and Yuan Jinqiu was not surprised. Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan had sincere hearts. When Yuan Jinqiu recalled the first acquaintance with Lin Fu, he could be regarded as trusting. But when Nai's situation changes like smoke, it is impossible to ponder. From the bottom of his heart, Yuan Jinqiu still doesn't want Huaidong to gain too much power at this time, so he can only hope that Yue Lengqiu will fight the battle better in Chizhou and can share Huaidong's limelight...

Gao Zongting raised his eyes and looked into the distance, disregarding Yuan Jinqiu's sighs: Jiangzhou has been trapped, Yue Lengqiu must send troops to intercept the Zhejiang and Fujian troops fleeing west in Chizhou, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the top and bottom, in Huaidong In front of him, he will lose the confidence to ask for the price, but will Yue Lengqiu spend the last bit of capital in his hand?

Even if Yue Lengqiu fights the last 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hand with the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, even if he captures and kills the rebel leader Shewenzhuang, what will he get?

In the end, Shewenzhuang chose to preserve his strength and lead his troops to retreat westward instead of shrinking southwards. How could he not have thought through Yue Lengqiu's mentality?

Jiangzhou fell, Huang Binghao surrendered, and among the 40,000 Jiangzhou soldiers led by Yue Lengqiu eastward, 10,000 were Huang Binghao's former troops. In addition, Chizhou is far away from Jiangning and close to Jiangzhou. After the luxury bears are trapped in Jiangzhou, they start from Jiangzhou and reach the foot of Chizhou City three hundred miles away. Sailing down the Yangtze River, a three-hundred-mile journey day and night—under such circumstances, would Yue Lengqiu dare to lead 40,000 troops out of Chizhou City to fight with Shewenzhuang?

Counting the time, Huang Binghao's surrender was precisely when the news of Emperor Yongxing's abandonment of Jiangning reached Jiangzhou. It should be the fall of Jiangning, which caused Huang Binghao to give birth to despair, otherwise, even if his relatives were seized, most of Huang Binghao would not surrender easily...

On the day of the dispute over the westward flight at the Wenhua Hall, Chen Xiyan’s words that “the society may survive and the imperial family will perish” are not alarmist, and the intentions of people’s hearts cannot be clearly explained in one or two sentences; thinking of this, Gao Zongting thought again. : Maybe Huang Binghao can still fight for it...

********************

On the second day of the first month of December, in Chongzhou in the early morning, frost covered the earth.

The chariots and horses drove out of the new city to the north. The brightly colored armor reflected the dazzling rays of the morning sun. The people who knew the officials of Huaidong could instantly see the extraordinary arrival of this chariot and horse team. Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Wu Meijiu, Zhou Guangdong, Sun Fengyi, Li Shuyi, and others, all of them were key officials in Huaidong who stayed in Chongzhou. They went out of the new city and headed north together. Who was sitting in the three carriages that the team had?

Could it be that the matter of asking the Queen Mother, which has been passed down for several days, will become a reality today?

At dawn on this side of the old city, soldiers were sent to clean up the street, and the soldiers went straight from the south gate of the old city to the Hailing Palace.

Miao Shuo, Zuo Guitang and others, who had been trusted long ago, were excited and tangled in the gate of the mansion of the Hailing Palace: There is still a war in Jiangning, at this time Huaidong asked the Queen Mother to return the capital, is it too early? some?

Those who stayed in Chongzhou did not know that the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in Jiangning City was in chaos this morning.

Before the chariot and horse team arrived at the Hailing Palace, Qin Chengzu and Lin Mengde led the officials who were left behind in Chongzhou to sing a promise: "Sheji is in danger, the emperor abandons Jiangning, and patrols Huaixi. We are ordered by the Duke of Pengcheng to ask the Empress Dowager to serve as Sheji. Nian, they are all in charge of state affairs!" Before the Hailing Palace, they bowed three times and nine bows...

Miao Shuo and the others opened the main entrance of the red lacquer inside, greeted them, and said with a smile, "Lord Qin and Lin, what's the matter, there is such a big commotion in the early morning? It's freezing outside, or it's still cold. Come in and warm up!"

"Without the Queen Mother's will, I will not dare to overstep." Qin Chengzu replied.

"I'm going to ask the Queen Mother's will!" Miao Shuo said, Huaidong did things in a strict manner, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, he got up and ran back to the Wangfu Dongyuan...

****************

In the East Garden, Hailing Wang Yuanjianhai couldn't help but feel excited, paced in the wing non-stop, listening to the movement outside, but he couldn't really hear it, and his heart was burning.

Although Huaidong asked the Queen Mother to return to court this time, he, the Hailing King, would at most follow him back to Jiangning, and the major events had nothing to do with him for the time being, but after all, he left the backcountry of Chongzhou and took a big step forward from Longting. How could he not be excited?

Instead, Empress Dowager Liang sat like a piece of dead wood in a chair covered with a thick mattress. There was no movement for most of the day. Her body was thin, but she was in good spirits, and her ears and eyes were much smarter than before. It sounded like she was on tiptoe. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is it Miao Shuo?"

"The old ancestor's ears are really sharp, but the old slave is walking on tiptoe..." Miao Shuo walked in and said.

"Apart from you, who else is walking on tiptoe in this mansion?" Empress Dowager Liang asked, "What's going on outside?"

"Huidong's leading figures in Chongzhou, Qin Chengzu and Lin Mengde, all of them colluded with Chongzhou's officials and gentry, and they all knelt outside to ask the Queen Mother to return to the capital. Besides returning to the capital, they also asked the Queen Mother to preside over state affairs," Miao Shuo replied. , "There are still two figures in the carriage that have not shown their faces, they should be the county ruler Gu..." Miao Shuo added worryingly, "This Jiangning still has a battle to fight, and the Pengcheng county ruler seems to be too confident. Some!"

"Alas," Empress Dowager Liang sighed softly and said, "After all, King Ning won't be able to get on the stage!" Then he said to Miao Shuo, "Even if Jiang Ning is broken, it has nothing to do with Huaidong. After all, it is the foundation of the Yuan clan. You all go to the crater, Huaidong is afraid that he can't wait to push the Aijia into the crater - the Aijia is a woman and Taoist family, who is so good at presiding over state affairs? "

"The crater is a hundred times better than this cold prison. The ancestors can't complain at this time!" Yuan Jianhai said.

The queen mother frowned when he heard it, but he was excited when he heard it: it's one thing to ask the queen mother to go to court, but it's another thing to ask the empress dowager to preside over state affairs - it shows that even if Huaidong doesn't abolish King Ning this time~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ It will not be limited to using the queen mother to contain King Ning, but it is obvious to ask the queen mother to suppress King Ning, and the next step is to abolish the emperor and establish another...

If King Ning is not abolished, this Jiangshan Sheji has a fart relationship with him, Yuan Jianhai?

Empress Dowager Liang smiled bitterly, knowing that King Hailing had suffered enough all these years, and he was too concerned about personal gains and losses, so he could not help the overall situation of the imperial family, and said: "Jian Hai, you also come forward to make a case, at this time you are not taking the pretense of the prince. When the time comes; the Ai family is afraid of making trouble, the old lady is also afraid of seeing people, and everyone else stays outside and invites you, let Gu Jun come in!"

Miao Shuo quickly ran to the gate of the palace to pass the decree, and summoned Gu to meet in Dongyuan, where the Queen Mother lived.

Qin Chengzu and Lin Mengde looked at each other and thought to themselves: This old lady of the Liang family is old and doesn't faint, and she knows that the lady is a soft scumbag. Even though I was worried that the madam was not the queen mother's opponent, there was nothing I could do. They were only vassals of Huaidong. It was quite polite for King Hailing to come forward and respond, so we couldn't force him to come forward. ...

Gu Junxun only got out of the car after listening to the voice. Princess Yangxin, Yuan Yan, is often in the Pengcheng County Palace these days, and she also came back temporarily with Gu Junxun: Miao Shuo came over and saluted: "Princess Yan is also back, The queen mother still misses you..."

At this time, there was a carriage at the end, and someone lifted the curtain. Miao Shuo looked up, but it was a very beautiful woman, standing there, her aura was so strong that she could suppress the Gu family. Gu Yingxiu asked in surprise, "Who is this lady?"

"The concubine is the Song family, the official book of the Huaidong Army, and was ordered by the Duke of Pengcheng to serve the Queen Mother and return to the court..." Song Jia said. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
