Little emperor

When King Liang returned to Danpi City with a few guards, the refugees had already left.After finding out where they went next, he immediately chased them to Qiaozhou.

When passing by the tea shed, Liang Wang and others sat down to drink tea.

The tea drinkers sitting at another table are discussing the current news.

"Have you heard? The capital was suddenly blocked! I don't know what happened!"

"Could it be another change in the palace? Three months ago, King Qin's rebellion heard that many people died! I don't know which vassal king wants to seize the throne this time. Could it be King Wen?"

"Hasn't King Wen stayed in the capital for several months? I heard that they are all going to court! Could it be that he is really ambitious? Your Majesty is young, so I don't know if the throne can be secured, alas!"

One of the guards couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Bold! How dare you talk about Your Majesty! Don't you want to die!"

The other tea guests were taken aback and immediately fell silent.After all, it is disrespectful to talk about the affairs of the royal family.Especially when talking about whether the little emperor's throne can be secured, if he is sent to the Yamen, he will be exiled if he is serious, and will be beaten if he is light!

The other guards all looked solemnly at King Liang.

Liang Wang felt more and more uneasy.Why is the capital blocked?Could it be that King Zhao has already arrived in the capital and started to usurp the throne?

wrong!If King Zhao had already acted, these Northern Xinjiang rebels would not have sneaked into the capital so secretly.What happened in the capital that forced the city to be closed?

The steaming hot tea soon turned cold.King Liang came back to his senses, and when he picked up the tea bowl again, he drank cold tea, and he shivered from the cold.

Standing up suddenly, Liang Wang stood up.One of the guards went to pay for the tea, and the other guards followed Liang Wang to the place where the horses were tied.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, the capital is blocked. Could it be that King Zhao has already done it? Should we return to the capital immediately to rescue him?"

During this trip, all those who followed King Liang to the northern border were the imperial guards. They started when the emperor was a baby, and watched the little emperor grow up to the present.He respects and loves the little emperor.Thinking that something might happen to the little emperor, he was naturally impatient.

Liang Wang took the reins and said calmly: "Even if Zhao Wang went to the capital, he would not dare to act rashly. His power in the capital is weak, and he has no power in the palace. He must not be able to attack His Majesty directly. The capital should be blocked. Something else has happened. We have to catch up with those Northern Xinjiang rebels and report their whereabouts to the capital."

The guards were silent.Even if Liang Wang said so, the anxiety in their hearts did not decrease.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Liang Wang got on his horse and squinted at the guards.

The guards grabbed the reins, mounted their horses neatly, and followed King Liang to Qiaozhou.

Ye Erlang stepped on his horse and walked in the direction of Qiaozhou.Unexpectedly, I heard the news of the capital blockade on the road!

The capital was actually blocked!

This is a big deal!Only when there is civil strife, the capital will be blocked.In addition, that is a serious plague|plague...

Ye Erlang is more inclined to believe that civil strife has occurred.If there is a plague in the capital, it will definitely not be hidden, but no one talks about the plague along the way.

With his hands clenched into fists, he stared deeply at the discussing businessmen.Ye Erlang exhaled.It is still decided to deploy troops to prevent the Northern Xinjiang rebels from sneaking into the capital!

When the horse entered Qiaozhou City, it began to snow.Snow has come earlier than usual this year.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and there are not many people on the road.

After getting off the horse, Ye Erlang grabbed the reins and led the horse along the street.One person and one horse, after passing by, left horseshoe prints and shoe prints.

I picked a guest house near the yamen to stay.When Ye Erlang went upstairs, he met a familiar person.

"Ye Erlang!"

The guard was very pleasantly surprised to see Ye Erlang.

Ye Erlang looked at each other in surprise.This guard, he remembered leaving the capital with his mother and King Liang.According to the date and itinerary, they should have almost arrived in northern Xinjiang by this time.How could it be here?Could it be that something was delayed on the road?

Before Ye Erlang could speak, the guard immediately dragged Ye Erlang into the room to see King Liang.

Liang Wang is writing a letter.Although there were two guards protecting him, he was still frightened when the door was pushed open.The hand holding the pen trembled, and a drop of black ink blurred a word.

Looking back, Liang Wang showed a surprised look.

"Isn't this Ye Jia Erlang?"

Ye Erlang didn't see his mother in the room, so he asked aloud, "His Royal Highness, where is my mother?"

King Liang made a gesture, and the guard walked out with winks, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

"It's a long story. The king and Madam Qi originally went to northern Xinjiang together to collect evidence of King Zhao's treason. But when we passed Danpi City, we found a group of problematic refugees..."

Liang Wang just started, and Ye Erlang immediately said: "Ye was originally on business in Qingzhou, because he found a group of refugees with suspicious identities in Qingzhou City, so he suspected that they were rebels from northern Xinjiang. So he planned to come to Qiaozhou Dispatch troops with Liangzhou next door."

Hearing this, Liang Wang's face became solemn.Asked: "Has the first batch of rebels arrived in Qingzhou?"

Ye Erlang nodded and replied: "There were about 300 rebels in that group. After arriving in Qingzhou, they were killed by the Qingzhou prefect. Ye guessed that these were just people who came to explore the way, and there must be rebels behind. So I came here Dispatch troops. I wonder how much information His Royal Highness Liang has? Why isn’t my mother by His Royal Highness Liang’s side?”

Liang Wang told Ye Erlang: "After we found those people's identities suspicious, we guessed that this was the arrangement of King Zhao. King Zhao must have prepared well before going to the capital. These rebels dressed up as refugees and wanted to sneak into the capital. Their food, grass and weapons are traveling in caravans, going south by water. They will arrive at the capital before them. Mrs. Qi has sent a message back to Beijing to inform General Qi."

After a pause, King Liang continued: "Miss Qi guesses that this group of rebels must be led by someone, and the leader is Prince Zhao. His son is not in the northern border, and it is a good opportunity for her to manage the army in the northern border. So she continued to go to northern Xinjiang and asked the king to lead people to follow the rebels secretly and pass the news to the capital. The king caught up with the rebels and found that some of the rebels would sneak into the Qiaozhou prefect's mansion at night. I found out that there have been distinguished guests in the Qiaozhou prefect's mansion in the past few days. Presumably, the prince of Zhao Wang lives in the Taizhou mansion in Qiaozhou."

After listening, Ye Erlang's face was heavy, he was silent for a while, and then he said slowly: "Since we know where Zhao Wang's son lives, then Ye must find a way to sneak in, catch him, tie him back to the capital, and use it to deal with Zhao Wang." king."

Liang Wang reminded: "Since the son of King Zhao lives in the mansion of the prefect of Qiaozhou, it means that the prefect of Qiaozhou belongs to King Zhao. We can't escape from Qiaozhou if we arrest him. The number of rebels is at least a thousand!"

How could Ye Erlang not know these things.But he was too impatient, and told Liang Wang what he knew: "Does His Highness Liang know that the capital is blocked?"

Liang Wang nodded: "This king has heard about it."

Ye Erlang analyzed it to King Liang with a serious expression: "Everyone is talking about King Wen wanting to usurp the throne, and the capital has changed. When Ye Mou was in Qingzhou, he didn't hear about it. He heard about it on the way to Qiaozhou. Said. This news was deliberately spread by Prince Zhao! His Royal Highness Liang, think about it, why did Prince Zhao spread this news? It must be because he knew about the killing of hundreds of rebels by the prefect of Qingzhou. I found out. So now, in the name of 'rescue', I have to go out and lead troops to the capital!"

Liang Wang's complexion became very bad, and he murmured in a low voice: "Then what should we do..."

Ye Erlang clasped his hands together, looked up at the beam, and said in a low voice, "Catch the son of King Zhao and stop him from bringing these rebels into trouble."

King Liang suddenly asked, "I don't know something. There are 30 forbidden troops in the capital. Even if King Zhao's son leads troops to rebel, the number is no match for the 30 forbidden troops."

Thinking of the astonishing weapon that appeared in the last palace change, Ye Erlang looked embarrassed, and said through gritted teeth: "The son of King Zhao, please pay attention to His Royal Highness, King Liang, and look for opportunities to attack him. Ye will return to Qingzhou tomorrow, and take Qingzhou soldiers to stop the southward movement." caravan!"

"Could it be..." Liang Wang also thought that Zhao Wang and his son dared to raise troops to rebel, with few enemies and many enemies, it must be a powerful weapon.

He changed his words and replied: "Okay! This king stays here and continues to stare at King Zhao's son. If he gets a chance, he will definitely be captured!"

After the two talked, Ye Erlang went to his room to rest.The store clerk did not know when the food arrived, he stared blankly at the cold food for a while, Ye Erlang picked up the chopsticks and ate with big mouthfuls.

Ye Erlang was naturally a little tired after a day's work, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the couch.Anxious mood.

Today is the fourth day of the closure of the capital, and the people in the city began to wonder whether the capital has changed.No one dared to go out.

In the military camp outside the city, the number of people suffering from illnesses increased rapidly, and even General Qi and General Qi were infected with the plague|plague.A commotion began in the barracks, rumors arose.The general idea is that King Wen went to court, sought power and usurped the throne, and angered the sky, so he sent down the plague to punish everyone.There is a lucky star coming to the north, who will do justice for the sky, clean up King Wen, and appease the anger of the sky.Everyone in the barracks was secretly discussing this matter, guessing who the lucky star was.

Seeing that these evil words have seriously affected the morale of the army, General Qi got up in anger and wanted to go out to correct the atmosphere in the army.

"Cough, cough, cough..." When I got excited, my body felt very uncomfortable.

"Lie down for me, don't go out!" General Qi glared at his son.He has seen all the turmoil in the army, and he has already made people secretly stare at those people who are bewitched by lies.

"Father, if the army is in such a mess, it will be bad if we don't care about it!" General Qi looked aggrieved.

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"Report to the general! A letter from home has been sent to the army!"

General Qi guessed that it might be a letter written by his daughter, so he hurriedly sent someone to send it in.

Only after opening the letter did he realize that it was written by his grandson.On the surface, this is a letter from home, but in fact it is a secret report.

"The Northern Xinjiang rebels dressed up as refugees and wanted to sneak into the capital! Dad, those ministers really guessed right! The son of King Zhao will lead troops to rebel!" General Qi's expression changed drastically.

With a sullen face, General Qi quickly wrote a letter, telling Ye Erlang that there was no need to stop those rebels.Let all those rebels come to the capital.If you deal with these rebels on the road, you may hurt innocent people.The number of rebels is not complete. If they escape on the way, it will be difficult for them to investigate in the future.

General Qi wrote three copies of this secret letter and sent it out to different people.Then, he spread the news that King Zhao's son had brought troops to Beijing into the city to let the court know about it.
