I was a princess in ancient times
Chapter 93 3 in 1
Really, there is not only the golden seal of Princess Huai'an on the letter paper, but also the private seal of Emperor Changping.
Ji Xinxue's mind immediately came up with the territory map of the Yu Dynasty that he had memorized long ago.Shengzhou, Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Lingzhou are all the northernmost places on the Guannei Road that are adjacent to the Turks.
Because there is the Great Wall, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the vicinity of the Great Wall has always been the territory of the Yu Dynasty.
Even if the Turks suddenly rebelled at the end of the Yanguang Dynasty, the Northern Turks and the Southern Turks, who had already surrendered to the Yu Dynasty, should join forces inside and outside, bloodbathed the governor's mansion established by the Yu Dynasty in the Turkic territory, and attacked the Great Wall all the way. After the obstacle failed, he exited the scope of the Great Wall in despair.
'Ambush the Turks outside the city. '
It means that this great victory was not the Yu Dynasty's initiative to attack, but an early insight into the Turkic invasion, and set up an ambush on the only way the Turks must pass, killing more than [-] Turkic people and taking [-] Turkic prisoners.
Ji Xinxue's gaze was firmly locked on these two figures, secretly guessing how much the real figure would be discounted.
In this era, whenever there is a war, the number of troops and the number of food and grass that are widely circulated on the surface are basically numbers that have been polished by Spring and Autumn brushwork.
For example, Emperor Changping's imperial edict ordered Guo Yunqi to be the vanguard of rebellion and lead an army of [-] troops to attack Jiangnan first.In fact, there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the entire Shannan East Road, and [-] Jinwu Guards and [-] Anguo Princess Fuzuo Guards must be counted.
Among them, half of the two thousand Jinwu guards were brought to Anye by Princess Xuanwei after Ji Xinxue was 'assassinated'.The 2000 people in the left guard of Princess Anguo's Mansion almost emptied Chang'an Princess An's Mansion, occupying four-fifths of the left guard of Princess An's Mansion.
Today, only 2 soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city of Anxiang, with only 1000 military guards in the Daying Camp on the outskirts of Beijing, 500 Jinwu Guards, and 2 left guards in Princess Anguo's Mansion. There are only 500 soldiers in total. Half of the [-] army in the imperial decree of Emperor Ping.
Even so, Emperor Changping could hold out his chest and say that he was a 'real' person.
When Emperor Wu Ning first occupied Chang'an, Mohe, who had not yet surrendered to the Yu Dynasty, was in civil strife. Nan Mohe was caught in the middle by Yu Dynasty and Bei Mohe, and both sides were angry.
Nan Mohe relied on all kinds of handicrafts to demolish and repair walls for three years. Seeing that Emperor Wu Ning had officially ascended the throne, he finally made a decision to submit to the Yu Dynasty in exchange for Yu Dynasty's help in subduing Bei Mohe.
Emperor Wu Ning received a large sum of gold and silver from Nanmohe, and immediately agreed to Nanmohe's surrender. With a wave of his pen, he sent 20 troops to help Nanmohe quell the chaos.
Ji Xinxue still remembers that when he heard this story from Emperor Changping, he praised the queen for her generosity, and was then called 'stupid' by Emperor Changping.
How could the empress expend the troops of the Central Plains to help foreign races gain territory?
The so-called 20 army arrived in Nanmohe with only [-].
Even so, Nan Mohe still won a big victory and successfully conquered Bei Mohe.
Because the Northern Mohe are all afraid of the '20 army' from the Yu Dynasty. They won the battle with the Nanmohe and dare not pursue them. .
This shows the importance of 'morale'.
Emperor Changping did not describe the 25 soldiers and horses as an army of [-], which is simply an expression of "approachability".
No matter how big the difference between the number of Turks killed and captured in the north was, it would not affect the joy in Ji Xinxue's heart.
Regardless of whether this attack on the Turks in the north is related to the sending of troops to the south of the Yangtze River, just because this is the first victory of Emperor Changping since he ascended the throne, it is enough to make Ji Xinxue forget that Anxiang fell into a bloody mess in front of him. magistrate.
Nothing can arouse the people's sense of belonging to the imperial court more than winning a battle, especially the existence of the Turks who harass the border of the Yu Dynasty every year.Even if you are not a citizen of northern Xinjiang, you will feel at ease when you hear such good news.
Ji Xinxue carefully memorized every word on the letter paper in her heart, and the symptoms of gastric turbulence healed without treatment, at least she could eat rice and vegetarian dishes.
Simply filling his stomach, Ji Xinxue has completely recovered his composure.
He was in the south of the Yangtze River, so even if he cared about the situation in the north, he would not be able to ask Ji Minyan in a dream at night to ask for more detailed information.It's better to do your job well and use the soldiers and horses in your hands to contain the forces in the south of the Yangtze River, lest they cause chaos to Emperor Changping at a critical moment in the north.
Recalling the process of confrontation with Anxiang officials outside the city of Anxiang during the day, Ji Xinxue finally remembered the "Jiangnan officials Chen Qing Form" thrown by Anxiang officials from the city wall. '
He glanced at the position of the low table and asked, "Where's the petition form dropped on the city wall?"
Yu Heng squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and tried his best to speak euphemistically, "It's being sorted by the Jinwu Guard."
Ji Xinxue thought about why the Jinwu Guard sorted out the petition forms, her face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly took a sip of strong tea, but she finally held back the overwhelming feeling of vomiting.
The Chen Qingbiao dropped by the officials of Anxiang from the city wall was not a letter or a document, but the "statements" of all the officials in Jiangnan, and it was filled with a large box that required two strong men to lift.
The box was pushed down from the city wall and shattered in half, and the petition forms inside fell all over the floor.
Then the Anxiang county magistrate's excitement spread to at least half of the petition.
There was an undisguised annoyance on Ji Xinxue's face.
He doubted, no, he was sure that everything that happened today was planned by someone.
I just don't know if some people intentionally stained the form with the blood of Anxiang county magistrate to disgust him on purpose, or if they thought from the bottom of their hearts that such a design would make him believe that Anxiang county magistrate was trying to show his will with death.
Because Ji Xinxue took the initiative to ask, Jin Wuwei quickly moved the Chen Qingbiao, which was not stained with blood, to Ji Xinxue's tent first.
Ji Xinxue glanced at the petition forms piled up like a hill, and asked Huo Yu to ask three literate Jinwu guards to open the letters, and first classified the petition forms according to official rank and region.
Hearing that the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo came to see him again, Ji Xinxue immediately asked Qingyun to invite them in, without giving them a chance to speak, and directly asked them to classify the Chen Qingbiao together with Jin Wuwei .
He can not only keep their mouths shut, but also tell them how busy he is with the facts.
It took everyone less than half an hour to complete the classification according to Ji Xinxue's request.
There are a total of 130 two petition forms here, and the final signatures include the governor, the county magistrate, the general of the state capital, and the general of the county guard.
Ji Xinxue hurriedly looked through the signatures on the back of all the petition forms, and found that there were officials from Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road among them.
Combined with Huo Yu telling him that there are about so many petition forms in the Jinwu Guard, Ji Xinxue feels that the civil and military officials in the 35 prefectures and [-] counties in the east and west of the south of the Yangtze River have all written petition forms.
It's a pity that there are no petitions from the Governor of Xunyang Prefecture and the Governor of Jinling Prefecture here. I don't know if it was stained with blood, or it was not written at all.
Ji Xinxue could only look at the petition forms of governors and generals from various places.Although the words are different, the meaning presented is almost exactly the same.It is quite effective when different people write compositions with the same proposition.
In short, the whole article is nonsense.
First, use all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric to express your loyalty to the Yu Dynasty and Emperor Changping.
Then the topic changed, and he blamed Emperor Changping for listening to the villain's instigation, and even had doubts about them.
In the end, he said forcefully that even the emperor could not express wrongdoing to the courtiers who were hardworking and hard-working, and they would do their best to prove their innocence.
If they can find evidence to prove their innocence, I hope Emperor Changping can make the decision for them and severely punish the villains who tell the truth.
If they can't prove their innocence, there is no need for Emperor Changping to say more, they are willing to die to show their will.
Ji Xinxue quickly looked through the petition forms of all the governors and generals of Wei, randomly selected a few petition forms written by the county magistrate and general Zhonglang, and said to Huo Yu, "Let them find the governors of Xunyang Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture. The petition form, the rest of the petition forms do not need to be sorted out."
Yu Heng waited for Ji Xinxue to read through the petition form Ji Xinxue handed him, and when he raised his head, he met the hesitant eyes of the son of Shangxinyang County's prince's mansion and Weiguo princess's mansion's daughter.
He was a little annoyed at the two people knowing that Ji Xinxue was unwilling to agree to their ideas, but still relying on their grandparents' face to act softly and stubbornly, and said bluntly, "You two came to ask to see, but do you have something to say?"
Before the two could speak, Yu Heng said again, "Please explain what you want before General Huo returns. The Jinwu Guard has a secret matter that cannot be delayed, and it is inconvenient for the two of you to be present."
Yu Heng's ruthless words made both the prince's mansion of Xinyang County and the daughter of Weiguo County's lord's mansion look a bit ugly.
Ji Xinxue, who was in deep thought, also came to his senses because of Yu Heng's words. He could bear the behavior of the two of them trying to persuade him all the time in order to achieve their goals, but he couldn't ignore the dissatisfaction in their eyes towards Yu Heng.
"Uncle Xinyang Wang." Ji Xinxue took the initiative to say, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The king of Xinyang County immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction with Yu Heng, looked at Ji Xinxue expectantly, and nodded repeatedly.
Yes, he is unwell, let him go back to Jingzhou to recuperate!
"Since that's the case, you might as well put what you have in hand first, and it won't be too late to take care of your body before you work hard." Ji Xinxue showed the same smile as the king of Xinyang County, "I will let the imperial doctor take care of Uncle Wang's body carefully. If you don't take care of it, Before getting sick, Uncle Wang should not leave the tent, so as not to make his condition worse."
The joy on the face of the Prince of Xinyang suddenly froze, and he stammered, "How can camp and land recuperate?"
"Why not?" Ji Xinxue asked back. She knew what the Prince of Xinyang County was afraid of, and intentionally frightened the Prince of Xinyang County. "Back then, the ancestor's arm was pierced by a flying arrow, and he had a high fever for three days and did not leave the camp. Otherwise, how could he lead the [-] remnant soldiers? Escaped from being strangled by an army of [-], and left behind the reputation of a god general?"
The crown prince of Xinyang County took half a step back after being frightened by the scene in Ji Xinxue's words, panic appeared on his face, "But I"
"Okay, Uncle Wang, don't waste any more time on recuperating." Ji Xinxue impatiently interrupted Prince Xinyang County's words, "Yihu, hurry up and take Uncle Wang back to recuperate."
Qing Yun received Ji Xinxue's gaze, and silently followed Yi Hu and the prince of Xinyang County who was held by Yi Hu and left.
She brought a lot of Coptis chinensis, which happened to be the main medicine for the prince of Xinyang County to heal his illness.
Sensing Ji Xinxue's gaze, the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo's Mansion clasped her hands nervously behind her back. She had already felt Ji Xinxue's impatience but she still didn't want to give up easily.
His Majesty sent her to Anye to read out the imperial decree against the traitors, and ordered her to go out with Princess Anwu. He must have intended for her to make contributions in this battle.
She was not wrong, she was just asking Princess Anwu for what His Majesty promised her.
Originally, when Ji Xinxue saw the daughter of the princess of Weiguo's mansion bowing her head guiltyly, she still thought that this time she would only kill the chickens and monkeys, and give the daughter of the princess of Weiguo's mansion another chance.
Looking back, he asked why Emperor Changping specifically ordered the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo to come to Anye to announce the decree, and then considered how to appease the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo who couldn't wait to make contributions.
Ji Xinxue immediately changed her mind when she saw that the guilty conscience of the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County only lasted for a few breaths, and she regained her composure the moment she raised her head.
Forget it, let's shut down the small punishments and big punishments for a few days first.
"Why did the daughter come to find me?" Ji Xinxue asked knowingly.
The daughter of the palace of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "The servants of Anxiang are perfunctory to the princess in every possible way. It can be seen that they have a different intention. I am willing to lead a small team to surprise Anxiang and capture the city gate for the army."
Ji Xinxue lowered her eyelids to hide the disappointment in her eyes, "Aye appointed Guo Yunqi as the vanguard, before General Hengjing arrives, Guo Yunqi will be in charge of all military affairs."
The tense heart of the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County gradually relaxed, and the princess did not immediately blame her. It can be seen that the previous impatience was towards the prince of Xinyang County, not her.
She said calmly, "Guo Xianfeng was born as a personal guard, and he has never fought as a general. I am afraid that there are many puzzles about the siege. If the princess waits for General Hengjing to arrive, it will definitely wear down our army. It also gave Anxiang military guard time to ease tension. In case other states in the south of the Yangtze River support Anxiang during this period, they may counterattack our army camp at any time. No matter how strong the defense of the camp is, it is not as strong as a city. Please think twice, princess .”
Ji Xinxue pinched the center of her brows, and said in a thankful tone, "It's a good thing you said this to me today."
Otherwise, I would have never imagined that a person who is actively looking for opportunities to make contributions all day long will be an embroidered pillow who can't even understand the theory on paper.
Yu Heng, who was also attentively listening to the opinions of the daughters of the princess of the Wei Kingdom, let out a muffled laugh, and poured a glass of warm water for Ji Xinxue himself.
"Princess?!" Excitement appeared in the eyes of the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County, and she mistook Ji Xinxue's words as a compliment, thinking that Ji Xinxue had discovered her talent, and decided to give her a chance to fight.
Ji Xinxue coughed lightly. He didn't want to challenge the princess of Weiguo's daughter's confidence in her talent. He just wanted the princess of Weiguo not to disturb him anymore, especially not to be dissatisfied with Yu Heng while disturbing him.
He said stubbornly, "But Aye personally appointed Guo Yunqi as the vanguard, so there must be a reason. The so-called no suspicion, no doubt, unless General Hengjing arrives, otherwise this Palace will never deny Guo Xianfeng's idea."
After hearing the words, the daughter of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei is no less than being beaten back to the original point when the goal can be achieved immediately. In addition to disappointment, there is also uncontrollable anger in her heart, and she said indiscriminately, "Princess, as the prisoner appointed by His Majesty Army, can we just watch the army miss the opportunity just to not take responsibility?"
Ji Xinxue distractedly speculated that Huo Yu had already found the petition forms of the Governor of Xunyang Prefecture and the Governor of Jinling Prefecture. Unfortunately, the blood stains on both petition forms were very serious, so they did not come back for so long.
He comforted the angry Yu Heng with his eyes, and casually said to the daughter of the princess of Weiguo, "This Palace is only acting according to His Majesty's will."
"That's it." Ji Xinxue thought about the face of Princess Weiguo, and deliberately found a way not to hurt each other's face to restrain the princess and daughter of Weiguo County, "You will write down your judgment based on the current situation, and I will send it to you. Go back to Chang'an. If your judgment is indeed better than that of Guo Yunqi or the upcoming Hengjing General, Chang'an will not let your talent be buried."
"If Guo Yunqi knows about this, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable. You use the excuse of recuperating to write notes in the tent secretly. Don't let the military guards of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing find out. I will ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some health medicine to cooperate with you. "
In the end, Ji Xinxue also kindly revealed that Emperor Changping liked to write with gorgeous rhetoric and quotations from classics.The longer the book, the easier it is for Emperor Changping to savor it carefully.
The daughter of the Palace of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei did not hesitate for too long.
Princess Anwu has affirmatively refused to give her the opportunity to lead the army.
Before that, she had approached Guo Yunqi to recommend herself, hoping that Guo Yunqi would join her in meeting Princess Anwu and introduce her to Princess Anwu, but Guo Yunqi refused, which shows that Guo Yunqi has no tolerance for jealousy.
Guo Yunqi was originally the personal guard of General Hengjing, so it can be seen that General Hengjing also has a personality that cannot tolerate talents.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity to make her mark in vain, so she could only write down the strategies that were better than Guo Yunqi and General Hengjing and send them back to Chang'an, as Princess Anwu said.
In order to prevent Princess Anwu from just coaxing her, she must write at least two copies of each booklet, one for Princess Anwu and one for herself.
After the daughter of the princess of Weiguo left with high spirits, Ji Xinxue immediately wrote a letter asking whether Emperor Changping had any special arrangements for the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo.
After finishing his letter, Huo Yu just came back with two petition forms that smelled like pen and ink.At the same time, it also confirmed Ji Xinxue's conjecture that the total number of petition forms was just in line with that of the 35 prefectures and [-] counties in the east and west of the south of the Yangtze River.
"Because the original manuscript was severely damaged, some words could not be determined, so they were all marked with cinnabar." Huo Yu said.
Ji Xinxue nodded, took the form and checked it carefully.
There is nothing new in the content, it is still those clichés.
Ji Xinxue snorted coldly, and swished the Chen Qing watch in her hand, "Guess who has such a big face that all the officials in Jiangnan are willing to buy it."
At the end of August, he issued an order to let all the soldiers and guards in the suburbs of Beijing to practice swimming, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Emperor Changping had plans to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. It was only one and a half months ago.
Even if unknown people had asked Jiangnan officials from all over the country to write petition forms with almost the same meaning, the time it took was surprisingly short.
Under the circumstance that the official seal of the official must not be faked on each petition form, it will take nearly a month to reach Anxiang from the county seat farthest from Anxiang.
It does not take into account that when many officials wrote their petitions, Emperor Changping had not launched an attack on Jiangnan.Ji Xinxue didn't believe that Jiangnan officials didn't understand the seriousness of it when they wrote down the statement and sealed it.
If Emperor Changping hadn't launched an attack, but the chen qing table they wrote had been publicized, the owner of the chen qing table would have been named and targeted by the Chang'an court.
"This is a demonstration." Yu Heng said firmly.
Show the unity of Jiangnan officialdom to Emperor Changping.
The smile on the corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth gradually became brighter, and her tone was full of unstoppable laughter, "If you say that, I feel that the big victory in the north has something to do with sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River."
Why did Jiangnan officials dare to demonstrate against Emperor Changping when Emperor Changping was so angry that he sent troops directly to Jiangnan?
Ji Xinxue made a bold assumption based on the latest [-]-mile rush received.
It is neither a coincidence nor an exception that Ping Zhen, who is of Turkic and Han mixed blood, killed all her relatives at the age of 15 and appeared in front of Yao Zheng under the control of the forces behind her.
Jiangnan and Turks have colluded for a long time!
Nearly two months ago, Jiangnan discovered that Emperor Changping had the idea of sending troops to Jiangnan.
While the unknown person contacted everyone in the officialdom in Jiangnan to write a petition, he also contacted the Turks who had colluded with him for a long time.Persuade the Turks to go south to attack Guanneidao when Emperor Changping sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and Emperor Changping was caught off guard.
As long as Emperor Changping is not a fool, he will choose to resist the Turks first, and then settle accounts with Jiangnan.
Ji Xinxue tried to think from the standpoint of the person who asked Jiangnan officials to write the petition.
In the northern war, the Yu Dynasty was the winner, and the news would be faster than the loser. That is to say, when the Anxiang officials threw the box containing the petition form into the city, the people behind it wanted to protest against Emperor Changping.
If the order he received was not to pretend to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River, but the order of Emperor Changping to seek rebellion, according to his inviolable image in the Shangzhou case, he should immediately attack Anxiang County regardless of the cost.
Will the people of Anxiang desperately resist?
Ji Xinxue couldn't guess.
He only knew that even if he took down Anxiang and Ronghua with the fastest speed, he would not be able to make further progress in a short period of time.
Because the south of Anxiang and Ronghua is Dongting Lake, if you want to continue going south, you must cross Dongting Lake.
First, he didn't have enough boats.
Secondly, he was not sure how many people in the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing were seasick.
If you want to bypass Dongting Lake, you have to stretch the battle line. The pressure to transport the luggage will increase several times over time, and the risk will also increase day by day.
Still assuming that he can quickly win Anxiang and Ronghua, can the gains really outweigh the costs?
Ji Xinxue couldn't be sure, because he didn't know how the people in these two places understood Emperor Changping's dispatch of troops to Jiangnan this time.
The number of officials and soldiers in Anxiang and Ronghua is far less than that of the common people. Even if the city is conquered, whether the city can be firmly taken into the hands still depends on the attitude of the common people.
Then think about it from another angle, if the officials of Anxiang and Ronghua deliberately incite the people in the city to hate the army sent by Emperor Changping, is there a high probability of success?
Big!
Without thinking, Ji Xinxue can come up with seven or eight different methods of instigation. Combined with the vicious raids of the people in Shannan Dongdao by the Jiangnan merchants in the Shannan Dongdao, Ji Xinxue feels that if the people behind the scenes want to deliberately instigate Anxiang and Ronghua, and even the entire Jiangnan people hated Emperor Changping, and the methods would be far more ruthless than he imagined.
For example, there are no survivors in the city, and then it is claimed that the army sent by Emperor Changping to the south of the Yangtze River slaughtered the city.
Ji Xinxue was startled by the unconstrained imagination in her head, and she silently grabbed Yu Heng's sleeve.
Calculated according to the time it took for the Turks to rush to the north and successfully ambush the Turks, the time the Turks planned to reach outside the Great Wall was about the same as the time he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.
That is to say, in the planning of the people behind Jiangnan, when he sent troops to An Ye or Ronghua because of Chen Qingbiao's demonstration, the Turks were also attacking the Great Wall.
Judging from Emperor Changping's imperial decree to fight against traitors in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time Deng Hongying had already left Chang'an with the army and guards of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and rushed to the south of the Yangtze River.
When the Turks went south and Chang'an was empty of troops, nine out of ten emperors would choose to send troops to escort them immediately, and the remaining emperor would choose to send troops to support the northern Xinjiang front.
Now the most easily mobilized and reliable force is the military guards of the Daying Camp in the suburbs of Beijing led by Deng Hongying.
Ji Xinxue made a 'tsk' sound, feeling a little dizzy.
"Let's play the note game again." Ji Xinxue whispered to Yu.
Yu Heng nodded immediately, "Rules?"
When they first met, they used 'to write down their address to each other, and asked them to put the address under the patterns representing like, general, and dislike. ' way of getting to know each other.
Ji Xinxue called this method a 'note game' and developed various new ways to play it.
However, based on Yu Heng's understanding of Ji Xinxue, he has long seen that Ji Xinxue's "note games" are just impromptu.
Ji Xinxue pondered for a while, "Based on the existing information, we brought in the person behind the scenes who asked Jiangnan officials to write the petition form. From his point of view, think about how the matter of 'Emperor Changping sent troops to Jiangnan' will end up." .”
He walked to the narrow table, wrote all the possibilities that he thought of just now on small pieces of paper with burnt black wooden strips, and arranged them according to the geographical location.
Every time a note was placed, Ji Xinxue would whisper to Yu Heng the basis for writing the note.
From the standpoint of the people behind the scenes in the south of the Yangtze River, it is natural that there will be no such thing as "the Turks die before they leave the army". It should be "the north is fighting fiercely, and the Turks are even better." '
Then "Emperor Changping panicked and transferred back Deng Hongying and the military guards of Daying in the suburbs of Beijing. '
Ji Xinxue raised her hand and took away 'Deng Hongying and the Army Guards of the Daying Camp in the Suburbs of Beijing' who were on the way to the south of Shannan.
From the visual point of view, the note that says 'Princess Anwu and the military guards of Daying in the suburbs of Beijing' immediately becomes lonely and stuck in the boundary of Jiangnan.
Ji Xinxue wrote down the most vicious thoughts on the slips of paper one by one, and placed them up.
'Princess Anwu was stimulated by Chen Qingbiao's demonstration and immediately attacked Anye/Huarong. '
'Because of the design of local officials, they won the city and lost the hearts of the people. '
'Even Emperor Changping lost the support of the entire Jiangnan people, and was even shouted and beaten by everyone in Jiangnan. '
Ji Xinxue looked at the top-to-bottom arrangement of the notes, thinking carefully whether there was anything illogical in them.
Yu Heng quickly wrote down a few notes and put them below.
'Under the mediation of Jiangnan officials, the people in Jiangnan reluctantly suppressed their hatred for Emperor Changping, and still rejected anyone and things related to Emperor Changping, and only trusted the original officials in Jiangnan. '
'In order to appease the people in the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Changping could only temporarily move the officials in the south of the Yangtze River. '
"Emperor Changping sent many people to the south of the Yangtze River successively. Instead of breaking the deadlock, the people in the south of the Yangtze River misunderstood him more and more. '
Ji Xinxue pouted her chin and reminded Yu Heng, "You are in a process."
According to the current logic, it was Princess Anwu who caused Emperor Changping to lose the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. If Emperor Changping wanted to restore the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he not severely punish Princess Anwu?
"No." Yu Heng shook his head, and quickly threw the charcoal and paper into the brazier, not giving Ji Xinxue a chance to fill in the paper.
Ji Xinxue grabbed the notes neatly arranged on the narrow table and threw them into the brazier.
Although he knew that the contents of these notes were his and Yu Heng's guesses, his blood pressure would still soar with anger.
When the news of the great victory in the north reaches here, it can be seen that his and Yu Heng's guesses are almost correct.
Now Jiangnan officials are still in the mood to protest against Emperor Changping in a declarative manner. If the news of the great victory in the north comes back and the attitude of Jiangnan officials suddenly changes, it can be confirmed that they are in collusion with the Turks. At least they already knew that the Turks would go south.
It's a pity that there seems to be no other way to fully confirm his and Yu Heng's guesses other than "grab and carefully interrogate the person who asked the Jiangnan officials to write down the statement".
Yu Heng was worried that Ji Xinxue would have a nightmare because of the magistrate of Anxiang, so he watched Ji Xinxue drink the weird Anshen Soup before going back to his tent to wash, and after blowing out the candles in both tents, he was hugged and returned to Ji Xinxue here.
This time Ji Xinxue had a good memory, and deliberately faced the outside, so as not to be frightened by the elusive Yu Heng.
"Calculating the time, it will take about [-] days for the urgent report from the north to reach here, and eight days at most? The officials in the south of the Yangtze River will also know about it." Ji Xinxue felt that the strange taste of Anshen soup was still in his mouth, Deliberately covering his mouth and speaking, his voice was full of muffled.
Yu Heng tidied up the quilt, turned around and touched Ji Xinxue's forehead, and said absently, "It won't take that long. When the news spreads in Guannei Road, it will be sent directly back to Jiangnan through special channels. The news we received came from Your Majesty, maybe"
Maybe Jiangnan's news is not slower than theirs, but there is a high probability that Jiangnan's news will be sent directly to the person who asked Jiangnan officials to write down the statement, so the people on the city wall of Anxiang will still provoke Changping Emperor's statement Send it to Ji Xinxue.
Before he finished speaking, Yu Heng had already stopped talking, and Ji Xinxue's relaxed face because of the great victory in the north also froze a little.
The two looked at each other and silently skipped the topic.
The collusion between Jiangnan and Turkic is just speculation, not confirmed.
Even if this conjecture is confirmed, it is still impossible to be sure that Ji Minyan knew about this matter. Without Emperor Changping's special explanation, it would be abnormal for Ji Minyan to send the general report to his sister far away in the south of the Yangtze River without authorization.
Ji Xinxue didn't take this matter to heart, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, let the scouts go outside the city of Anxiang to spread the word. My palace was moved by the Jiangnan officials' petition, and I personally wrote a note back to Chang'an to ask His Majesty to re-investigate the crimes of the Jiangnan officials. .”
He wants to see whether he is in a hurry or the Jiangnan officials are in a hurry.
Yu Heng carefully tucked in the quilt for Ji Xinxue, "Tell Huo Yu to take the Jinwu Guards, lest the people in Anye City try to force you to do something, and use some dirty tricks, ordinary scouts may not be able to withstand it."
Facts have proved that Yu Heng's worries are correct.
Even if Huo Yu personally took five Jinwu guards surnamed 'Yi' to deliver the message, two horses were lost, and one Jinwu guard was injured by a feathered arrow shot from the city wall.
This proved that their guess was correct. Jiangnan officials wanted to provoke them, hoping that they would order the siege of the city in anger.
Ji Xinxue went to visit the injured Jinwu Guard in person, and saw that the injured Jinwu Guard was competing with the military guards of the Beijing Suburbs in October with their shirts off. With one arm completely motionless, they played a one-on-ten match, without any loss. Even the sweat on the forehead is less than others.
After watching the battle between the warriors for a long time, Ji Xinxue ordered Qingyun to exchange the tonic for gold, and personally went to see if the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County were honest.
Before seeing the tent of the Prince of Xinyang County, Ji Xinxue could already hear howls like slaughtering a pig, barely resisting the thought of covering his ears, which was his last tolerance for the Prince of Xinyang County.
"My son is a little afraid of acupuncture." Qingyun whispered.
Ji Xinxue showed a satisfied smile, "That's why you can't hide your illness from medical treatment, and Uncle Wang will get used to it after a while."
In contrast, the daughter of the Palace of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei is very worry-free.
Ji Xinxue only stood not far from the tent for a while, then left.
While there was nothing important to deal with, the annoying prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo's mansion also stayed in the tent, and Ji Xinxue went carefully to every corner of the camp.
It's a pity that there are no cameras in this era
As soon as this idea came up, Ji Xinxue thought that he could use a pen to write down the experience of going out with the army, and immediately went back to the tent to find Yu Heng, who was counting all kinds of things sent by the right guard of Princess An's mansion.
Ji Xinxue took Yu Heng to a few places that impressed him deeply, leaving messy lines on the palm-sized piece of paper, thinking that there would be a chance to 'transfer' the content of the painting to a special drawing paper in the future.
Yu Heng was at Ji Xinxue's command throughout the whole process, he stood where Ji Xinxue asked him to stand, and took whatever posture Ji Xinxue asked him to pose, and didn't care at all about the expressions of people passing by occasionally.
Seeing Ji Xinxue leave a draft from scratch, Yu Heng suddenly asked, "Why is there only me in the painting, without you?"
Ji Xinxue raised her head in surprise, "How can anyone draw a portrait of themselves?"
it's wired.
After finishing speaking, Ji Xinxue once again focused all her attention on the drawing paper in her hand, quickly sketching out a sketch.
Because it is in the military camp, although Ji Xinxue is still wearing women's clothes, she is still in riding clothes. There are traces of baby fat on her face, and her facial features are biased towards male and female. She only puts a high ponytail on her head and only looks at her upper body. In other words, it is almost no different from Yu Heng.
Yu Heng quietly looked at Ji Xinxue's serious profile.
He had wondered countless times whether Emperor Changping would set things right so that Ji Xinxue could live as a prince in the future.
Then he got the answer countless times. He didn't know whether Emperor Changping would make things right, but he hoped that Ji Xinxue would still be a princess in the future.
Only in this way can he have reason to continue to expect to be the closest person to Ji Xinxue.
However, at this moment, Yu Heng had the idea that there is nothing wrong with the prince.
This is the identity that Ashue should have.
but
Yu Heng lowered his eyes to suppress the complexities in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Axue, teach me how to draw."
"Huh?" Ji Xinxue distractedly replied, "Why do you want to learn painting all of a sudden? Let Mo Changshi find you a master."
According to the thinking of this era, his realistic style of painting is unique to artisans, and it is commonly known as 'cheap things'.
Because his status is noble enough, no one wants to make his father angry, so there is no gossip.
Yu Heng shook his head, "I only learn from you, I will add your portrait to every painting you draw for me."
Ji Xinxue paused in writing, then raised her head suddenly, staring at Yu Heng without blinking, her round phoenix eyes were full of concentration, as if there was only Yu Heng in the whole world.
Knowing that Ji Xinxue only has brotherly affection for him, Yu Heng still couldn't control the temperature behind his ears, he wanted to look away from Ji Xinxue's face but he couldn't bear it, he was in a dilemma, "What, what's wrong? "
Ji Xinxue doesn't understand what's wrong, she must be very moved?
"Suddenly I think you are handsome." Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully, and solemnly praised, "You are more handsome than Aye today!"
Ji Xinxue's mind immediately came up with the territory map of the Yu Dynasty that he had memorized long ago.Shengzhou, Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Lingzhou are all the northernmost places on the Guannei Road that are adjacent to the Turks.
Because there is the Great Wall, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the vicinity of the Great Wall has always been the territory of the Yu Dynasty.
Even if the Turks suddenly rebelled at the end of the Yanguang Dynasty, the Northern Turks and the Southern Turks, who had already surrendered to the Yu Dynasty, should join forces inside and outside, bloodbathed the governor's mansion established by the Yu Dynasty in the Turkic territory, and attacked the Great Wall all the way. After the obstacle failed, he exited the scope of the Great Wall in despair.
'Ambush the Turks outside the city. '
It means that this great victory was not the Yu Dynasty's initiative to attack, but an early insight into the Turkic invasion, and set up an ambush on the only way the Turks must pass, killing more than [-] Turkic people and taking [-] Turkic prisoners.
Ji Xinxue's gaze was firmly locked on these two figures, secretly guessing how much the real figure would be discounted.
In this era, whenever there is a war, the number of troops and the number of food and grass that are widely circulated on the surface are basically numbers that have been polished by Spring and Autumn brushwork.
For example, Emperor Changping's imperial edict ordered Guo Yunqi to be the vanguard of rebellion and lead an army of [-] troops to attack Jiangnan first.In fact, there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the entire Shannan East Road, and [-] Jinwu Guards and [-] Anguo Princess Fuzuo Guards must be counted.
Among them, half of the two thousand Jinwu guards were brought to Anye by Princess Xuanwei after Ji Xinxue was 'assassinated'.The 2000 people in the left guard of Princess Anguo's Mansion almost emptied Chang'an Princess An's Mansion, occupying four-fifths of the left guard of Princess An's Mansion.
Today, only 2 soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city of Anxiang, with only 1000 military guards in the Daying Camp on the outskirts of Beijing, 500 Jinwu Guards, and 2 left guards in Princess Anguo's Mansion. There are only 500 soldiers in total. Half of the [-] army in the imperial decree of Emperor Ping.
Even so, Emperor Changping could hold out his chest and say that he was a 'real' person.
When Emperor Wu Ning first occupied Chang'an, Mohe, who had not yet surrendered to the Yu Dynasty, was in civil strife. Nan Mohe was caught in the middle by Yu Dynasty and Bei Mohe, and both sides were angry.
Nan Mohe relied on all kinds of handicrafts to demolish and repair walls for three years. Seeing that Emperor Wu Ning had officially ascended the throne, he finally made a decision to submit to the Yu Dynasty in exchange for Yu Dynasty's help in subduing Bei Mohe.
Emperor Wu Ning received a large sum of gold and silver from Nanmohe, and immediately agreed to Nanmohe's surrender. With a wave of his pen, he sent 20 troops to help Nanmohe quell the chaos.
Ji Xinxue still remembers that when he heard this story from Emperor Changping, he praised the queen for her generosity, and was then called 'stupid' by Emperor Changping.
How could the empress expend the troops of the Central Plains to help foreign races gain territory?
The so-called 20 army arrived in Nanmohe with only [-].
Even so, Nan Mohe still won a big victory and successfully conquered Bei Mohe.
Because the Northern Mohe are all afraid of the '20 army' from the Yu Dynasty. They won the battle with the Nanmohe and dare not pursue them. .
This shows the importance of 'morale'.
Emperor Changping did not describe the 25 soldiers and horses as an army of [-], which is simply an expression of "approachability".
No matter how big the difference between the number of Turks killed and captured in the north was, it would not affect the joy in Ji Xinxue's heart.
Regardless of whether this attack on the Turks in the north is related to the sending of troops to the south of the Yangtze River, just because this is the first victory of Emperor Changping since he ascended the throne, it is enough to make Ji Xinxue forget that Anxiang fell into a bloody mess in front of him. magistrate.
Nothing can arouse the people's sense of belonging to the imperial court more than winning a battle, especially the existence of the Turks who harass the border of the Yu Dynasty every year.Even if you are not a citizen of northern Xinjiang, you will feel at ease when you hear such good news.
Ji Xinxue carefully memorized every word on the letter paper in her heart, and the symptoms of gastric turbulence healed without treatment, at least she could eat rice and vegetarian dishes.
Simply filling his stomach, Ji Xinxue has completely recovered his composure.
He was in the south of the Yangtze River, so even if he cared about the situation in the north, he would not be able to ask Ji Minyan in a dream at night to ask for more detailed information.It's better to do your job well and use the soldiers and horses in your hands to contain the forces in the south of the Yangtze River, lest they cause chaos to Emperor Changping at a critical moment in the north.
Recalling the process of confrontation with Anxiang officials outside the city of Anxiang during the day, Ji Xinxue finally remembered the "Jiangnan officials Chen Qing Form" thrown by Anxiang officials from the city wall. '
He glanced at the position of the low table and asked, "Where's the petition form dropped on the city wall?"
Yu Heng squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and tried his best to speak euphemistically, "It's being sorted by the Jinwu Guard."
Ji Xinxue thought about why the Jinwu Guard sorted out the petition forms, her face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly took a sip of strong tea, but she finally held back the overwhelming feeling of vomiting.
The Chen Qingbiao dropped by the officials of Anxiang from the city wall was not a letter or a document, but the "statements" of all the officials in Jiangnan, and it was filled with a large box that required two strong men to lift.
The box was pushed down from the city wall and shattered in half, and the petition forms inside fell all over the floor.
Then the Anxiang county magistrate's excitement spread to at least half of the petition.
There was an undisguised annoyance on Ji Xinxue's face.
He doubted, no, he was sure that everything that happened today was planned by someone.
I just don't know if some people intentionally stained the form with the blood of Anxiang county magistrate to disgust him on purpose, or if they thought from the bottom of their hearts that such a design would make him believe that Anxiang county magistrate was trying to show his will with death.
Because Ji Xinxue took the initiative to ask, Jin Wuwei quickly moved the Chen Qingbiao, which was not stained with blood, to Ji Xinxue's tent first.
Ji Xinxue glanced at the petition forms piled up like a hill, and asked Huo Yu to ask three literate Jinwu guards to open the letters, and first classified the petition forms according to official rank and region.
Hearing that the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo came to see him again, Ji Xinxue immediately asked Qingyun to invite them in, without giving them a chance to speak, and directly asked them to classify the Chen Qingbiao together with Jin Wuwei .
He can not only keep their mouths shut, but also tell them how busy he is with the facts.
It took everyone less than half an hour to complete the classification according to Ji Xinxue's request.
There are a total of 130 two petition forms here, and the final signatures include the governor, the county magistrate, the general of the state capital, and the general of the county guard.
Ji Xinxue hurriedly looked through the signatures on the back of all the petition forms, and found that there were officials from Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road among them.
Combined with Huo Yu telling him that there are about so many petition forms in the Jinwu Guard, Ji Xinxue feels that the civil and military officials in the 35 prefectures and [-] counties in the east and west of the south of the Yangtze River have all written petition forms.
It's a pity that there are no petitions from the Governor of Xunyang Prefecture and the Governor of Jinling Prefecture here. I don't know if it was stained with blood, or it was not written at all.
Ji Xinxue could only look at the petition forms of governors and generals from various places.Although the words are different, the meaning presented is almost exactly the same.It is quite effective when different people write compositions with the same proposition.
In short, the whole article is nonsense.
First, use all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric to express your loyalty to the Yu Dynasty and Emperor Changping.
Then the topic changed, and he blamed Emperor Changping for listening to the villain's instigation, and even had doubts about them.
In the end, he said forcefully that even the emperor could not express wrongdoing to the courtiers who were hardworking and hard-working, and they would do their best to prove their innocence.
If they can find evidence to prove their innocence, I hope Emperor Changping can make the decision for them and severely punish the villains who tell the truth.
If they can't prove their innocence, there is no need for Emperor Changping to say more, they are willing to die to show their will.
Ji Xinxue quickly looked through the petition forms of all the governors and generals of Wei, randomly selected a few petition forms written by the county magistrate and general Zhonglang, and said to Huo Yu, "Let them find the governors of Xunyang Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture. The petition form, the rest of the petition forms do not need to be sorted out."
Yu Heng waited for Ji Xinxue to read through the petition form Ji Xinxue handed him, and when he raised his head, he met the hesitant eyes of the son of Shangxinyang County's prince's mansion and Weiguo princess's mansion's daughter.
He was a little annoyed at the two people knowing that Ji Xinxue was unwilling to agree to their ideas, but still relying on their grandparents' face to act softly and stubbornly, and said bluntly, "You two came to ask to see, but do you have something to say?"
Before the two could speak, Yu Heng said again, "Please explain what you want before General Huo returns. The Jinwu Guard has a secret matter that cannot be delayed, and it is inconvenient for the two of you to be present."
Yu Heng's ruthless words made both the prince's mansion of Xinyang County and the daughter of Weiguo County's lord's mansion look a bit ugly.
Ji Xinxue, who was in deep thought, also came to his senses because of Yu Heng's words. He could bear the behavior of the two of them trying to persuade him all the time in order to achieve their goals, but he couldn't ignore the dissatisfaction in their eyes towards Yu Heng.
"Uncle Xinyang Wang." Ji Xinxue took the initiative to say, "Are you feeling unwell?"
The king of Xinyang County immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction with Yu Heng, looked at Ji Xinxue expectantly, and nodded repeatedly.
Yes, he is unwell, let him go back to Jingzhou to recuperate!
"Since that's the case, you might as well put what you have in hand first, and it won't be too late to take care of your body before you work hard." Ji Xinxue showed the same smile as the king of Xinyang County, "I will let the imperial doctor take care of Uncle Wang's body carefully. If you don't take care of it, Before getting sick, Uncle Wang should not leave the tent, so as not to make his condition worse."
The joy on the face of the Prince of Xinyang suddenly froze, and he stammered, "How can camp and land recuperate?"
"Why not?" Ji Xinxue asked back. She knew what the Prince of Xinyang County was afraid of, and intentionally frightened the Prince of Xinyang County. "Back then, the ancestor's arm was pierced by a flying arrow, and he had a high fever for three days and did not leave the camp. Otherwise, how could he lead the [-] remnant soldiers? Escaped from being strangled by an army of [-], and left behind the reputation of a god general?"
The crown prince of Xinyang County took half a step back after being frightened by the scene in Ji Xinxue's words, panic appeared on his face, "But I"
"Okay, Uncle Wang, don't waste any more time on recuperating." Ji Xinxue impatiently interrupted Prince Xinyang County's words, "Yihu, hurry up and take Uncle Wang back to recuperate."
Qing Yun received Ji Xinxue's gaze, and silently followed Yi Hu and the prince of Xinyang County who was held by Yi Hu and left.
She brought a lot of Coptis chinensis, which happened to be the main medicine for the prince of Xinyang County to heal his illness.
Sensing Ji Xinxue's gaze, the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo's Mansion clasped her hands nervously behind her back. She had already felt Ji Xinxue's impatience but she still didn't want to give up easily.
His Majesty sent her to Anye to read out the imperial decree against the traitors, and ordered her to go out with Princess Anwu. He must have intended for her to make contributions in this battle.
She was not wrong, she was just asking Princess Anwu for what His Majesty promised her.
Originally, when Ji Xinxue saw the daughter of the princess of Weiguo's mansion bowing her head guiltyly, she still thought that this time she would only kill the chickens and monkeys, and give the daughter of the princess of Weiguo's mansion another chance.
Looking back, he asked why Emperor Changping specifically ordered the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo to come to Anye to announce the decree, and then considered how to appease the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo who couldn't wait to make contributions.
Ji Xinxue immediately changed her mind when she saw that the guilty conscience of the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County only lasted for a few breaths, and she regained her composure the moment she raised her head.
Forget it, let's shut down the small punishments and big punishments for a few days first.
"Why did the daughter come to find me?" Ji Xinxue asked knowingly.
The daughter of the palace of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "The servants of Anxiang are perfunctory to the princess in every possible way. It can be seen that they have a different intention. I am willing to lead a small team to surprise Anxiang and capture the city gate for the army."
Ji Xinxue lowered her eyelids to hide the disappointment in her eyes, "Aye appointed Guo Yunqi as the vanguard, before General Hengjing arrives, Guo Yunqi will be in charge of all military affairs."
The tense heart of the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County gradually relaxed, and the princess did not immediately blame her. It can be seen that the previous impatience was towards the prince of Xinyang County, not her.
She said calmly, "Guo Xianfeng was born as a personal guard, and he has never fought as a general. I am afraid that there are many puzzles about the siege. If the princess waits for General Hengjing to arrive, it will definitely wear down our army. It also gave Anxiang military guard time to ease tension. In case other states in the south of the Yangtze River support Anxiang during this period, they may counterattack our army camp at any time. No matter how strong the defense of the camp is, it is not as strong as a city. Please think twice, princess .”
Ji Xinxue pinched the center of her brows, and said in a thankful tone, "It's a good thing you said this to me today."
Otherwise, I would have never imagined that a person who is actively looking for opportunities to make contributions all day long will be an embroidered pillow who can't even understand the theory on paper.
Yu Heng, who was also attentively listening to the opinions of the daughters of the princess of the Wei Kingdom, let out a muffled laugh, and poured a glass of warm water for Ji Xinxue himself.
"Princess?!" Excitement appeared in the eyes of the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County, and she mistook Ji Xinxue's words as a compliment, thinking that Ji Xinxue had discovered her talent, and decided to give her a chance to fight.
Ji Xinxue coughed lightly. He didn't want to challenge the princess of Weiguo's daughter's confidence in her talent. He just wanted the princess of Weiguo not to disturb him anymore, especially not to be dissatisfied with Yu Heng while disturbing him.
He said stubbornly, "But Aye personally appointed Guo Yunqi as the vanguard, so there must be a reason. The so-called no suspicion, no doubt, unless General Hengjing arrives, otherwise this Palace will never deny Guo Xianfeng's idea."
After hearing the words, the daughter of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei is no less than being beaten back to the original point when the goal can be achieved immediately. In addition to disappointment, there is also uncontrollable anger in her heart, and she said indiscriminately, "Princess, as the prisoner appointed by His Majesty Army, can we just watch the army miss the opportunity just to not take responsibility?"
Ji Xinxue distractedly speculated that Huo Yu had already found the petition forms of the Governor of Xunyang Prefecture and the Governor of Jinling Prefecture. Unfortunately, the blood stains on both petition forms were very serious, so they did not come back for so long.
He comforted the angry Yu Heng with his eyes, and casually said to the daughter of the princess of Weiguo, "This Palace is only acting according to His Majesty's will."
"That's it." Ji Xinxue thought about the face of Princess Weiguo, and deliberately found a way not to hurt each other's face to restrain the princess and daughter of Weiguo County, "You will write down your judgment based on the current situation, and I will send it to you. Go back to Chang'an. If your judgment is indeed better than that of Guo Yunqi or the upcoming Hengjing General, Chang'an will not let your talent be buried."
"If Guo Yunqi knows about this, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable. You use the excuse of recuperating to write notes in the tent secretly. Don't let the military guards of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing find out. I will ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some health medicine to cooperate with you. "
In the end, Ji Xinxue also kindly revealed that Emperor Changping liked to write with gorgeous rhetoric and quotations from classics.The longer the book, the easier it is for Emperor Changping to savor it carefully.
The daughter of the Palace of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei did not hesitate for too long.
Princess Anwu has affirmatively refused to give her the opportunity to lead the army.
Before that, she had approached Guo Yunqi to recommend herself, hoping that Guo Yunqi would join her in meeting Princess Anwu and introduce her to Princess Anwu, but Guo Yunqi refused, which shows that Guo Yunqi has no tolerance for jealousy.
Guo Yunqi was originally the personal guard of General Hengjing, so it can be seen that General Hengjing also has a personality that cannot tolerate talents.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity to make her mark in vain, so she could only write down the strategies that were better than Guo Yunqi and General Hengjing and send them back to Chang'an, as Princess Anwu said.
In order to prevent Princess Anwu from just coaxing her, she must write at least two copies of each booklet, one for Princess Anwu and one for herself.
After the daughter of the princess of Weiguo left with high spirits, Ji Xinxue immediately wrote a letter asking whether Emperor Changping had any special arrangements for the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo.
After finishing his letter, Huo Yu just came back with two petition forms that smelled like pen and ink.At the same time, it also confirmed Ji Xinxue's conjecture that the total number of petition forms was just in line with that of the 35 prefectures and [-] counties in the east and west of the south of the Yangtze River.
"Because the original manuscript was severely damaged, some words could not be determined, so they were all marked with cinnabar." Huo Yu said.
Ji Xinxue nodded, took the form and checked it carefully.
There is nothing new in the content, it is still those clichés.
Ji Xinxue snorted coldly, and swished the Chen Qing watch in her hand, "Guess who has such a big face that all the officials in Jiangnan are willing to buy it."
At the end of August, he issued an order to let all the soldiers and guards in the suburbs of Beijing to practice swimming, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Emperor Changping had plans to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. It was only one and a half months ago.
Even if unknown people had asked Jiangnan officials from all over the country to write petition forms with almost the same meaning, the time it took was surprisingly short.
Under the circumstance that the official seal of the official must not be faked on each petition form, it will take nearly a month to reach Anxiang from the county seat farthest from Anxiang.
It does not take into account that when many officials wrote their petitions, Emperor Changping had not launched an attack on Jiangnan.Ji Xinxue didn't believe that Jiangnan officials didn't understand the seriousness of it when they wrote down the statement and sealed it.
If Emperor Changping hadn't launched an attack, but the chen qing table they wrote had been publicized, the owner of the chen qing table would have been named and targeted by the Chang'an court.
"This is a demonstration." Yu Heng said firmly.
Show the unity of Jiangnan officialdom to Emperor Changping.
The smile on the corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth gradually became brighter, and her tone was full of unstoppable laughter, "If you say that, I feel that the big victory in the north has something to do with sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River."
Why did Jiangnan officials dare to demonstrate against Emperor Changping when Emperor Changping was so angry that he sent troops directly to Jiangnan?
Ji Xinxue made a bold assumption based on the latest [-]-mile rush received.
It is neither a coincidence nor an exception that Ping Zhen, who is of Turkic and Han mixed blood, killed all her relatives at the age of 15 and appeared in front of Yao Zheng under the control of the forces behind her.
Jiangnan and Turks have colluded for a long time!
Nearly two months ago, Jiangnan discovered that Emperor Changping had the idea of sending troops to Jiangnan.
While the unknown person contacted everyone in the officialdom in Jiangnan to write a petition, he also contacted the Turks who had colluded with him for a long time.Persuade the Turks to go south to attack Guanneidao when Emperor Changping sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and Emperor Changping was caught off guard.
As long as Emperor Changping is not a fool, he will choose to resist the Turks first, and then settle accounts with Jiangnan.
Ji Xinxue tried to think from the standpoint of the person who asked Jiangnan officials to write the petition.
In the northern war, the Yu Dynasty was the winner, and the news would be faster than the loser. That is to say, when the Anxiang officials threw the box containing the petition form into the city, the people behind it wanted to protest against Emperor Changping.
If the order he received was not to pretend to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River, but the order of Emperor Changping to seek rebellion, according to his inviolable image in the Shangzhou case, he should immediately attack Anxiang County regardless of the cost.
Will the people of Anxiang desperately resist?
Ji Xinxue couldn't guess.
He only knew that even if he took down Anxiang and Ronghua with the fastest speed, he would not be able to make further progress in a short period of time.
Because the south of Anxiang and Ronghua is Dongting Lake, if you want to continue going south, you must cross Dongting Lake.
First, he didn't have enough boats.
Secondly, he was not sure how many people in the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing were seasick.
If you want to bypass Dongting Lake, you have to stretch the battle line. The pressure to transport the luggage will increase several times over time, and the risk will also increase day by day.
Still assuming that he can quickly win Anxiang and Ronghua, can the gains really outweigh the costs?
Ji Xinxue couldn't be sure, because he didn't know how the people in these two places understood Emperor Changping's dispatch of troops to Jiangnan this time.
The number of officials and soldiers in Anxiang and Ronghua is far less than that of the common people. Even if the city is conquered, whether the city can be firmly taken into the hands still depends on the attitude of the common people.
Then think about it from another angle, if the officials of Anxiang and Ronghua deliberately incite the people in the city to hate the army sent by Emperor Changping, is there a high probability of success?
Big!
Without thinking, Ji Xinxue can come up with seven or eight different methods of instigation. Combined with the vicious raids of the people in Shannan Dongdao by the Jiangnan merchants in the Shannan Dongdao, Ji Xinxue feels that if the people behind the scenes want to deliberately instigate Anxiang and Ronghua, and even the entire Jiangnan people hated Emperor Changping, and the methods would be far more ruthless than he imagined.
For example, there are no survivors in the city, and then it is claimed that the army sent by Emperor Changping to the south of the Yangtze River slaughtered the city.
Ji Xinxue was startled by the unconstrained imagination in her head, and she silently grabbed Yu Heng's sleeve.
Calculated according to the time it took for the Turks to rush to the north and successfully ambush the Turks, the time the Turks planned to reach outside the Great Wall was about the same as the time he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.
That is to say, in the planning of the people behind Jiangnan, when he sent troops to An Ye or Ronghua because of Chen Qingbiao's demonstration, the Turks were also attacking the Great Wall.
Judging from Emperor Changping's imperial decree to fight against traitors in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time Deng Hongying had already left Chang'an with the army and guards of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and rushed to the south of the Yangtze River.
When the Turks went south and Chang'an was empty of troops, nine out of ten emperors would choose to send troops to escort them immediately, and the remaining emperor would choose to send troops to support the northern Xinjiang front.
Now the most easily mobilized and reliable force is the military guards of the Daying Camp in the suburbs of Beijing led by Deng Hongying.
Ji Xinxue made a 'tsk' sound, feeling a little dizzy.
"Let's play the note game again." Ji Xinxue whispered to Yu.
Yu Heng nodded immediately, "Rules?"
When they first met, they used 'to write down their address to each other, and asked them to put the address under the patterns representing like, general, and dislike. ' way of getting to know each other.
Ji Xinxue called this method a 'note game' and developed various new ways to play it.
However, based on Yu Heng's understanding of Ji Xinxue, he has long seen that Ji Xinxue's "note games" are just impromptu.
Ji Xinxue pondered for a while, "Based on the existing information, we brought in the person behind the scenes who asked Jiangnan officials to write the petition form. From his point of view, think about how the matter of 'Emperor Changping sent troops to Jiangnan' will end up." .”
He walked to the narrow table, wrote all the possibilities that he thought of just now on small pieces of paper with burnt black wooden strips, and arranged them according to the geographical location.
Every time a note was placed, Ji Xinxue would whisper to Yu Heng the basis for writing the note.
From the standpoint of the people behind the scenes in the south of the Yangtze River, it is natural that there will be no such thing as "the Turks die before they leave the army". It should be "the north is fighting fiercely, and the Turks are even better." '
Then "Emperor Changping panicked and transferred back Deng Hongying and the military guards of Daying in the suburbs of Beijing. '
Ji Xinxue raised her hand and took away 'Deng Hongying and the Army Guards of the Daying Camp in the Suburbs of Beijing' who were on the way to the south of Shannan.
From the visual point of view, the note that says 'Princess Anwu and the military guards of Daying in the suburbs of Beijing' immediately becomes lonely and stuck in the boundary of Jiangnan.
Ji Xinxue wrote down the most vicious thoughts on the slips of paper one by one, and placed them up.
'Princess Anwu was stimulated by Chen Qingbiao's demonstration and immediately attacked Anye/Huarong. '
'Because of the design of local officials, they won the city and lost the hearts of the people. '
'Even Emperor Changping lost the support of the entire Jiangnan people, and was even shouted and beaten by everyone in Jiangnan. '
Ji Xinxue looked at the top-to-bottom arrangement of the notes, thinking carefully whether there was anything illogical in them.
Yu Heng quickly wrote down a few notes and put them below.
'Under the mediation of Jiangnan officials, the people in Jiangnan reluctantly suppressed their hatred for Emperor Changping, and still rejected anyone and things related to Emperor Changping, and only trusted the original officials in Jiangnan. '
'In order to appease the people in the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Changping could only temporarily move the officials in the south of the Yangtze River. '
"Emperor Changping sent many people to the south of the Yangtze River successively. Instead of breaking the deadlock, the people in the south of the Yangtze River misunderstood him more and more. '
Ji Xinxue pouted her chin and reminded Yu Heng, "You are in a process."
According to the current logic, it was Princess Anwu who caused Emperor Changping to lose the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. If Emperor Changping wanted to restore the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he not severely punish Princess Anwu?
"No." Yu Heng shook his head, and quickly threw the charcoal and paper into the brazier, not giving Ji Xinxue a chance to fill in the paper.
Ji Xinxue grabbed the notes neatly arranged on the narrow table and threw them into the brazier.
Although he knew that the contents of these notes were his and Yu Heng's guesses, his blood pressure would still soar with anger.
When the news of the great victory in the north reaches here, it can be seen that his and Yu Heng's guesses are almost correct.
Now Jiangnan officials are still in the mood to protest against Emperor Changping in a declarative manner. If the news of the great victory in the north comes back and the attitude of Jiangnan officials suddenly changes, it can be confirmed that they are in collusion with the Turks. At least they already knew that the Turks would go south.
It's a pity that there seems to be no other way to fully confirm his and Yu Heng's guesses other than "grab and carefully interrogate the person who asked the Jiangnan officials to write down the statement".
Yu Heng was worried that Ji Xinxue would have a nightmare because of the magistrate of Anxiang, so he watched Ji Xinxue drink the weird Anshen Soup before going back to his tent to wash, and after blowing out the candles in both tents, he was hugged and returned to Ji Xinxue here.
This time Ji Xinxue had a good memory, and deliberately faced the outside, so as not to be frightened by the elusive Yu Heng.
"Calculating the time, it will take about [-] days for the urgent report from the north to reach here, and eight days at most? The officials in the south of the Yangtze River will also know about it." Ji Xinxue felt that the strange taste of Anshen soup was still in his mouth, Deliberately covering his mouth and speaking, his voice was full of muffled.
Yu Heng tidied up the quilt, turned around and touched Ji Xinxue's forehead, and said absently, "It won't take that long. When the news spreads in Guannei Road, it will be sent directly back to Jiangnan through special channels. The news we received came from Your Majesty, maybe"
Maybe Jiangnan's news is not slower than theirs, but there is a high probability that Jiangnan's news will be sent directly to the person who asked Jiangnan officials to write down the statement, so the people on the city wall of Anxiang will still provoke Changping Emperor's statement Send it to Ji Xinxue.
Before he finished speaking, Yu Heng had already stopped talking, and Ji Xinxue's relaxed face because of the great victory in the north also froze a little.
The two looked at each other and silently skipped the topic.
The collusion between Jiangnan and Turkic is just speculation, not confirmed.
Even if this conjecture is confirmed, it is still impossible to be sure that Ji Minyan knew about this matter. Without Emperor Changping's special explanation, it would be abnormal for Ji Minyan to send the general report to his sister far away in the south of the Yangtze River without authorization.
Ji Xinxue didn't take this matter to heart, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, let the scouts go outside the city of Anxiang to spread the word. My palace was moved by the Jiangnan officials' petition, and I personally wrote a note back to Chang'an to ask His Majesty to re-investigate the crimes of the Jiangnan officials. .”
He wants to see whether he is in a hurry or the Jiangnan officials are in a hurry.
Yu Heng carefully tucked in the quilt for Ji Xinxue, "Tell Huo Yu to take the Jinwu Guards, lest the people in Anye City try to force you to do something, and use some dirty tricks, ordinary scouts may not be able to withstand it."
Facts have proved that Yu Heng's worries are correct.
Even if Huo Yu personally took five Jinwu guards surnamed 'Yi' to deliver the message, two horses were lost, and one Jinwu guard was injured by a feathered arrow shot from the city wall.
This proved that their guess was correct. Jiangnan officials wanted to provoke them, hoping that they would order the siege of the city in anger.
Ji Xinxue went to visit the injured Jinwu Guard in person, and saw that the injured Jinwu Guard was competing with the military guards of the Beijing Suburbs in October with their shirts off. With one arm completely motionless, they played a one-on-ten match, without any loss. Even the sweat on the forehead is less than others.
After watching the battle between the warriors for a long time, Ji Xinxue ordered Qingyun to exchange the tonic for gold, and personally went to see if the son of the prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the princess of Weiguo County were honest.
Before seeing the tent of the Prince of Xinyang County, Ji Xinxue could already hear howls like slaughtering a pig, barely resisting the thought of covering his ears, which was his last tolerance for the Prince of Xinyang County.
"My son is a little afraid of acupuncture." Qingyun whispered.
Ji Xinxue showed a satisfied smile, "That's why you can't hide your illness from medical treatment, and Uncle Wang will get used to it after a while."
In contrast, the daughter of the Palace of the Princess of the Kingdom of Wei is very worry-free.
Ji Xinxue only stood not far from the tent for a while, then left.
While there was nothing important to deal with, the annoying prince of Xinyang County and the daughter of the Princess of Weiguo's mansion also stayed in the tent, and Ji Xinxue went carefully to every corner of the camp.
It's a pity that there are no cameras in this era
As soon as this idea came up, Ji Xinxue thought that he could use a pen to write down the experience of going out with the army, and immediately went back to the tent to find Yu Heng, who was counting all kinds of things sent by the right guard of Princess An's mansion.
Ji Xinxue took Yu Heng to a few places that impressed him deeply, leaving messy lines on the palm-sized piece of paper, thinking that there would be a chance to 'transfer' the content of the painting to a special drawing paper in the future.
Yu Heng was at Ji Xinxue's command throughout the whole process, he stood where Ji Xinxue asked him to stand, and took whatever posture Ji Xinxue asked him to pose, and didn't care at all about the expressions of people passing by occasionally.
Seeing Ji Xinxue leave a draft from scratch, Yu Heng suddenly asked, "Why is there only me in the painting, without you?"
Ji Xinxue raised her head in surprise, "How can anyone draw a portrait of themselves?"
it's wired.
After finishing speaking, Ji Xinxue once again focused all her attention on the drawing paper in her hand, quickly sketching out a sketch.
Because it is in the military camp, although Ji Xinxue is still wearing women's clothes, she is still in riding clothes. There are traces of baby fat on her face, and her facial features are biased towards male and female. She only puts a high ponytail on her head and only looks at her upper body. In other words, it is almost no different from Yu Heng.
Yu Heng quietly looked at Ji Xinxue's serious profile.
He had wondered countless times whether Emperor Changping would set things right so that Ji Xinxue could live as a prince in the future.
Then he got the answer countless times. He didn't know whether Emperor Changping would make things right, but he hoped that Ji Xinxue would still be a princess in the future.
Only in this way can he have reason to continue to expect to be the closest person to Ji Xinxue.
However, at this moment, Yu Heng had the idea that there is nothing wrong with the prince.
This is the identity that Ashue should have.
but
Yu Heng lowered his eyes to suppress the complexities in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Axue, teach me how to draw."
"Huh?" Ji Xinxue distractedly replied, "Why do you want to learn painting all of a sudden? Let Mo Changshi find you a master."
According to the thinking of this era, his realistic style of painting is unique to artisans, and it is commonly known as 'cheap things'.
Because his status is noble enough, no one wants to make his father angry, so there is no gossip.
Yu Heng shook his head, "I only learn from you, I will add your portrait to every painting you draw for me."
Ji Xinxue paused in writing, then raised her head suddenly, staring at Yu Heng without blinking, her round phoenix eyes were full of concentration, as if there was only Yu Heng in the whole world.
Knowing that Ji Xinxue only has brotherly affection for him, Yu Heng still couldn't control the temperature behind his ears, he wanted to look away from Ji Xinxue's face but he couldn't bear it, he was in a dilemma, "What, what's wrong? "
Ji Xinxue doesn't understand what's wrong, she must be very moved?
"Suddenly I think you are handsome." Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully, and solemnly praised, "You are more handsome than Aye today!"
