Ma'am, is there someone out there?

"Young master!"

The servants of the Zhuo Mansion cried out in surprise, the tea in their hands was knocked over and almost fell on Young Master Zhuo.

"Master, are you alright?" The servant asked about the tea and Zhuo Yuan's expression was also on his face.

Zhuo Yuan blushed for a while and paled for a while, his face was scary, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Prepare the carriage, I, I want to go out." Young Master Zhuo spoke intermittently, out of breath.

"Go out?" The servant was surprised, "Master, it's still snowing heavily outside."

"I said I want to go out, but you want to stop me?" Young Master Zhuo was furious.

The servants quickly denied it, they dared to block the young master's way only after they had the heart and courage of a leopard, and hurriedly prepared the carriage.

Master Zhuo got into the carriage, the coachman turned around and asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"Go to Huan... that's not right..." Duke Huan's mansion would make people suspicious if he couldn't go. Young Master Zhuo's panic had subsided and he was able to calmly analyze the pros and cons. He hesitated for a moment and thought of a place, "Go to Qingfeng Tower .”

After the young master Zhuo finished speaking, he leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes.

"Drive!" With a sound of the horsewhip, the white snow was crushed, and the wheels rolled to the distance.The coachman only drives the carriage, no matter what the master's family does there, but in this snowy day, it is doubtful whether Qingfenglou will open for business.

"You said the young master went to the Qingfeng Tower?" Zhuo Xiang raised his eyebrows, his well-educated and meek son, has learned to drink flower wine?She is still a small servant, Zhuo Xiang is not happy, and when her son comes back, he must be strictly disciplined.

The small fights in twos and threes disturbed the still sick Emperor Changqing. Only when a group of soldiers and horses from the south who claimed to be the old army of King Qi raised the banner of King Qi and pretended to be the real dragon in the world, the ministers really couldn't sit still. Passed the news to Emperor Changqing who was ill.

"King Qi?" Emperor Changqing laughed. The King Qi of that year was already beaten to death by his father, "Which youngster took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters?"

Li Xiang carefully chose his words, and said: "This king of Qi is not the king of Qi. Back then, the king of Qi was punished for the crime of treason. Now this king of Qi claims to be the son of the king of Qi. He has summoned a large group of the old subordinates of the king of Qi, and they have already gathered in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. "

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were the fiefdoms of the King Qi back then. Gao Zu obviously valued the King Qi more and sent him to the rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Unfortunately, the situation changed too much later. Down.Otherwise, it is really impossible to tell who the person in this seat is now.Because of this, there are indeed many people who have a good impression of King Qi who turned out to be born.

For the common people, the alternation of imperial power among the royal families and the change of dynasty have different impacts on the whole country. If the person on the throne changes, they can maintain their original life, but if they really want to change the dynasty, it will really hurt the country and them. Musculoskeletal.

The flames of war that spread to the common people are disgusted by ordinary people.If there is a legitimate replacement for Emperor Changqing, the lazy people will quickly accept it.Therefore, compared to other unnamed rebels, King Qi's appearance quickly won the recognition of some people.

"It turned out to be in the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Emperor Changqing's tone of voice was very subtle, and the accent fell on the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Marquis Wen An immediately smelled the "fishy smell" in it.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

"Marquis Wen An?" Emperor Changqing glanced at him incredulously, doubting Marquis Wen An's ability, but he was indeed a person who was good at figuring out his thoughts and was keen to please.If not, he would not have allowed Concubine Rong to be "favoured" all the time. Marquis Wen An contributed a lot to this. "In that case, Lord Hou might as well talk about it."

Emperor Changqing's condition is not bad today, and his face is also red; he has moisturized a lot.

Marquis Wen An agreed, and flatteringly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let General Lu lead his troops to arrest the traitor King Qi immediately?"

This idea is plain, but the meaning behind it is deep.Marquis Wen An still had a knack for trying to figure out the emperor's mind.The so-called real dragon is in the south, Qingzhou is in the south, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also in the south. The emperor suspects Lu Chen's intentions and wants to vindicate King Qi, so it is natural for these two people to fight each other.Of course, this was the emperor's thoughts speculated by Marquis Wen An. For Marquis Wen An, only when Lu Chen left the capital could their plan proceed.

Marquis Wen An's words were immediately opposed.

One of the opponents was Li Xiang.

Li Xiang glared at Marquis Wen An sideways, and sneered at him: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible. Naturally, the rebels want to rehabilitate, but they don't necessarily have to work for the King of Zhennan. The Hunan Army is closer to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is also a Wouldn’t it be great to directly dispatch the Hunan Army with a powerful army? Why bother to go far away. Besides, the capital is the center of a country, and the battle to stay in the city must not be lost. General Lu can stay in the capital to defend.”

As soon as Li Xiang said this, some of the ministers present also readily agreed that the Hunan Army is indeed a powerful army, but it is a pity that General Lu is not here, so we cannot hear what he has to say.

Wen Anhou blushed and had a thick neck, as if he had been stabbed in the heart by Li Xiang.But Marquis Wen'an felt a little proud, Li Xiang, oh Li Xiang, still didn't know the emperor well enough.Lu Chen guarding the capital?The emperor was afraid of Lu Chen, how could he let the fierce tiger he feared the most guard his nest, and send the two tigers to the capital to fight against each other quickly.Lu Chen and Qi Wang faced each other, and he happened to reap the benefits of the fisherman.For Emperor Changqing, those petty fights never hurt his muscles.

But Marquis Wen'an has always been unconvincing. Even if other ministers agree, they will not directly oppose Li Xiang's idea.Emperor Changqing would not be like this.

Emperor Changqing's gaze swept across a circle of people, and finally fell on Prime Minister Zhuo.Prime Minister Zhuo and Li Xiang have been fighting for many years. Usually at this time, he would have already spoken out, but today he has been silent.

"Does Zhuo Aiqing have any insight?" Zhuo Li didn't speak up, and Emperor Changqing called his name.

Zhuo Li, who had been named, stood up slowly at this time, showing some difficulty: "I am not talented, so I can only talk about my own opinions. According to what I saw, Marquis Wen An and Li Xianger What your lord said makes sense. Marquis Wen An thought it was time to send General Lu to fight. However, General Lu returned from his expedition and his troops were still in Mobei. The army can fight alone, I think it is feasible, but let General Lu guard the capital, I think it is inappropriate."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, please think about it. The main force of General Lu is in Mobei, and he will not be able to arrive immediately. If General Lu is to command the troops in the capital, the general and the soldiers may be "unacceptable" if they have not been adjusted. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital. , and Yingzhou as the door blocker, there is really no need to worry."

Zhuo Li stroked his beard, and seemed to be thinking about Chen Chao. He said eloquently, "Although the old army of the King of Qi was a small group, it was hard to make a fortune, but there were tens of thousands of troops. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are rich, and the commerce and agriculture are particularly prosperous. However, once the battle line is extended, the local economy will suffer great losses, and it is necessary to hit a single blow to end the war quickly. Therefore, the minister thought that it would be better to send the Hunan Army first, and let General Lu and his Mobei Army rush to the south. The forces will gather together and quickly annihilate King Qi's army and the rest of the rebels."

Zhuo Li's words neutralized the opinions of the two. Although Li Xiang felt dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything more. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas really couldn't stand the delay of the extended front.As for the other ministers, they naturally agree, no one wants to take matters into their own hands at this time.

After hearing this, Emperor Changqing readily agreed.It is both persuasion and calculation in mind.

On this day, the snow had just stopped, and Lu Chen, who still claimed to be sick, received the order.

Although I had expected it, I still had mixed feelings when I actually received the order.

"It's not been a few days of peace." Lu Chen threw away the edict and complained softly.

Shen Qing smiled, and packed everything without saying a word, he knew that was what Lu Chen said.He will not abandon his pawns, nor will he abandon what he should do.Of course, if it is possible, Shen Qing also hopes that Lu Chen can retire from the army as soon as possible.

Lu snorted dully, nothing else, and the little thing in his stomach reminded him from time to time.

On the day before leaving the capital, there were only a few people left in Huan Guogong's mansion.Shen Qing didn't let Xiaobao stay in Duke Huan's mansion, after many considerations, Duke Zheng's mansion was of course the most suitable.

Cousin Zheng Junrui promised repeatedly that he would take good care of his little nephew.Shen Qing patted his shoulder and didn't say anything.Xiaobao is also very good, neither crying nor fussing, as usual.He was used to his father leaving from time to time.

On the day of leaving the city, the snow in the capital did not melt.There is snow on the eaves, and ice under the eaves.

Military flags fluttered and horses neighed.Lu Chen led the two thousand soldiers and horses he brought to the capital to embark on the journey, trampling the white snow into gray muddy water.The people in the whole city sent each other off, this scene seemed to be the same as when they returned.

Lu Chen's mask still looked indifferent and ugly, this time his figure was not as lonely as before.There was a person standing beside him, and the people knew that it was the general's wife.The general's wife's reputation is not only appreciated by the people of Qingzhou, but also heard by many people in the capital.

They all knew that General Lu finally married a wife who survived death, and this lady was a kind person, and the relationship between the general and his wife was inseparable.

Madam left, the general really left.
