The sturdy life of crossing

Father Jian said with compassion: "This time, I don't know how many border guards and people will suffer." What Jian Leyang is doing now has never been hidden from his father, so Father Jian also knows that his brother Yang is walking on a dangerous cliff. In fact, if one is not good, he may fall down. What he can do is to think the same as his son, and try not to hold Jian Leyang back.

At this point today, one bad person may become a traitor of the court, but looking back, it was also caused by the combination of various factors. At first, it was to integrate and support a large group of people from the Canghe Gang. If there is a conflict between the gangs, they have to find another way to expand their power, otherwise the Canghe Gang will be swallowed up by the Qingyao Gang like a big fish eating a small fish. .

Later in the capital, the exposure of Father Jian and Jian Leyang's backgrounds put him in a situation where he could not advance or retreat. Father Jian could suffer wronged by himself and didn't care about those other names, but he couldn't let his wife and children follow through. With Yang's appearance, if he stays in the capital without the force to protect himself, even his marriage can only be manipulated by others. In order to compete with those forces in the capital, the Canghe Gang moved to Jinhai County, and their development has indeed become bigger and bigger It also made the people in the court more and more jealous.

Father Jane also knew that the development of the Canghe Gang had already exceeded a certain limit, but looking back on the past, even if he did it all over again, he would still support Brother Yang to take such a path. With such a background and appearance, if you want to control your own destiny without being manipulated by others, you must make yourself stronger.

Even if he accidentally developed too strong, thinking of the covetousness of all parties towards the Canghe Gang, Jian's father couldn't laugh or cry, and at the same time, he was proud of him. He and his wife's brother.

Jian Leyang's reaction was mediocre: "It's inevitable, the imperial court is weak, the foreign clans are staring at each other, and the inside is not united. There will be a day, sooner or later, and the flames of war will be inevitable."

"Father knows, Brother Yang, you have done enough." Father Jian smiled, no matter how sympathetic he was, he would not let Brother Yang step forward to stop the flames of war, otherwise, when he stopped the iron cavalry of the foreign race, he would lose both with the foreign race However, those forces in the imperial court will take the opportunity to snatch the results of the battle, and swallow Brother Yang's forces when he is weak, and the Jian family and the entire Canghe Gang will be destroyed.

Besides, even if it can be saved for a while, it cannot save the whole life. For such a court, it can only maintain a short period of peace, and will soon fall into internal fighting. Maybe the flames of war will resume, and it will be the common people who will suffer.

"Report--the lord, the capital urgently reports that His Majesty has passed away!"

Before he had finished a peaceful dinner, he received an urgent report. The old emperor was so sick that he finally couldn't bear it anymore and died. This result was consistent with the previous statement from the capital. If it doesn't arrive, it's gone.

Jian Leyang looked at Father Jian, who put down his chopsticks and said, "I see, I'll go to the Yamen right away, His Majesty has passed away, we must do what we have to do, so as not to fall into the trap of others."

Jian Leyang nodded: "My gang will also make arrangements."

The father and son moved separately, and Jian Niang and Jian Wenyuan also had a lot of things to do.

On the second day, the news of His Majesty's death was spread inside and outside Jinhai County. Civil and military officials were not allowed to have fun, and mourning and wedding activities were prohibited. The common people also had many rules. For a while, the laughter on the streets decreased a lot. Singers, storytellers All kinds of entertainment activities also stopped.

However, compared to other places, the people in Jinhai County did not feel much uneasiness except that they could not do too much illegal actions. As long as there is Lord Jian here, as long as there is the Canghe Gang, they are safer than the people in any other place. Once upon a time, this place was often robbed by pirates and Japanese pirates, and it was a place that everyone could avoid.

Therefore, they have great trust in the Canghe Gang and Jian Leyang who have brought the current prosperity. With him, the turmoil in the court will not affect them.

Fortunately, the marriage between Hall Master Shi Shifeng and Gu's brother was done in time, otherwise it would not be possible to do it blatantly until now, and the people on the street are still expressing such emotion.

It's not their fault. When the pirates were rampant and the Japanese pirates were rampant, the court officials and the local defenders had nothing to eat. The court didn't care about the lives of the people here. It was Jian Leyang and Canghe who rescued them from the fire and water and gave them A life of peace and abundance.

"Report to the leader of the gang! It's not good, the Yidi people have attacked the frontier pass, and the frontier pass has begun to fight!"

"What?! These goddamn Yidi people actually took advantage of this time to go to war! The original armistice agreement is nothing, thanks to the people from the imperial court who sent so much money to peace, it is useless!" The warriors who followed Jian Leyang and often fought at sea were not very particular about what they said when they were angry, and they used a lot of foul language.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let those people go back, I should have chopped off their heads!" This was referring to Fan Lizhong's group, maybe they had received the news and left Jinhai County secretly, of course this time they were under the control of the Canghe Gang Among them, Jian Leyang didn't let anyone stop them, so they were able to escape unscathed, otherwise they would never leave alive.

Jian Leyang and He Yunzhang glanced at each other. Sure enough, it was a war. They didn't have any hope for the foreign people, thinking that they could abide by the agreement. In fact, the so-called agreement between countries will only be used when necessary. Function, otherwise it is just a piece of paper. Jian Leyang remembers that it is the same situation between countries before the end of the world. It is unbelievable to be shameless. In the end, it depends on who has the biggest fist and the strongest force.

Therefore, taking advantage of the marriage between Shi Shifeng and Gu Yinquan, Jian Leyang asked Xie Wenyi to withdraw some of the people who stayed in the capital. On the surface, it was said that they were there to attend the wedding, but in fact, they have not left until now, and it is impossible for them to go back. In the past, they were able to contain the people in the capital, but now that the war is raging, who knows if those people will make a heinous move, and take Xie Wenyi and the others to their swords.

"The order is passed on, the Canghe Gang strongholds in various places gather their own forces and try their best to help the refugees who escaped from the north."

"Yes, helper!"

"Proceed with the order, all members of the Canghai team are on standby!"

"Yes, helper!"

"Pass down the order..."

One order after another was conveyed in the name of the gang leader. With Jinhai County as the center, the Canghe Gang spread all over the country quickly, and He Yunzhang was also very busy. At this time, various strategic materials were very important, although the Canghe Gang would not run away. Bianguan participated in the battle, but for a general like General Luo who really loves the people, the Canghe Gang is still happy to provide some supplies.

On the streets of Jinhai County, Xie Wenyi looked at the people who had not changed much except for the bright clothes, and said to Hua Jia who was walking with him: "Jinhai County is okay, but I don't know how the people in other places are, especially at the border. The common people, it seems that those foreign races are also specially waiting for this time."

Not only people in the capital are looking forward to His Majesty's early death, but also the Yidi people outside the pass are also looking forward to his early death so that they can tear up the agreement and attack Daxing. The city will not continue to advance, and I don't know if the forces in the capital have seen clearly the ambitions of the Yidi people, whether they can temporarily stop the internal fighting, and work together to solve the foreign troubles first.

Although thinking this way, Xie Wenyi actually didn't have too much expectations for those people. If they had this kind of awareness, they wouldn't have made the imperial court such a mess.

"I'm worried about Brother He." Hua Jia sighed. He had sent a letter to He Zengming when he asked Huajia Commercial Company to withdraw from the border before, even though he also knew that He Zengming could not listen to his advice. He left the border town at some time, but he still tried, and the result was not beyond his expectations. The man stayed in the tent of General Luo in the border town.

Speaking of which, he and He Zengming belonged to distant cousins, with a distance of three thousand miles and several turns, but there were not many people left in the He family, so his mother took He Zengming to take care of him, and he and He Zengming were also very close. Since He Zengming went to work in the border town, he and He Zengming rarely met each other.

In fact, He Zengming and his uncle General Luo are able to survive until now, thanks to the secret support of the Canghe Gang and the Huajia Commercial Bank, but this time the situation is even more severe.

Xie Wenyi grabbed Hua Jia's hand. At this time, any words of comfort seemed to be very blank. Anyone who knew the situation knew that if the court did not exert its strength, the chances of those guarding the city's soldiers surviving were very slim.

However, Xie Wenyi still told Hua Jia a situation: "The boss has always admired young general He, and maybe he will save young general He at critical times, and General Luo may not just watch young general He..." General Xie Wenyi " Going to die" swallowed the word, General Luo would definitely not leave the border town, but he might not be able to watch his only nephew die.

"I hope so." Hua Jia raised a little hope.

In the capital, as soon as the news of the emperor's death came out of the palace, Concubine Li took the imperial edict and brought the little prince to summon the officials to announce the edict left by his majesty before his death. Forcing the ministers to agree to the posthumous edict to the little prince, unexpectedly, while the ministers were still in court, the deputy commander of the imperial army suddenly stabbed the commander, leading most of the imperial army to rebel. It turned out that the deputy commander had long been The man who became the king was gone, and the men and horses led by Marquis Changning confronted the king in the palace.

The two princes outside the palace also quickly led their troops into the palace, not only to eradicate Cheng Wang as a traitor, but also to find out the cause of the emperor's death and question the authenticity of the edict.

The palace was thrown into chaos by several parties, and the ministers in the court hall, because they belonged to different teams, almost had a brawl, and a dispute of words was inevitable. The urgent report, the foreigners suddenly attacked the border town on a large scale, the soldiers at the border rushed to meet the enemy, and sent an emergency report to the capital for help, the number of enemy troops was several times theirs, and the city was difficult to defend.

This urgent report made the chaotic court quiet for a while, but soon there was an uproar. Many ministers angrily condemned the injustice of the Yidi people. It is unreasonable for them to tear up the agreement and attack the city just after His Majesty died. , worthy of being a barbarian clan.

But the most urgent thing is not to be angry and condemn at all. If the condemnation is useful, how could the Yidi people choose this moment to attack aggressively? Yes, but none of the key parties refused to give in, and handed over the throne to others, so the court once again quarreled and fought each other. An old minister was so angry that he scolded the prince and prince bloody, In the end, he crashed into a pillar and died, and blood splashed on the Golden Luan Palace on the spot

An urgent report came back from the border, and the situation in the capital was also in turmoil. Jian Leyang, who was in Jinhai County, also paid close attention to the situation outside. He stayed in the headquarters of the Canghe Gang completely, and did not even go home. Only Jian Niang When I find time, I often come over to deliver some homemade food and handmade clothes.

"This is the latest news from the capital. At this time, we are looking at who has the most ruthless shots. Who do you think is the final winner?" Jian Leyang looked at the latest information sent over and said to He Yunzhang. He Yunjing, who had never left, was also pulled over. Enslaved, He Xiyu had already sent a letter, asking him to stay in Jinhai County for the time being, and not to return to the capital in a hurry.

"It must be King Cheng. After all, he has been planning for many years. Although Changninghou's faction has spent a lot of effort to win over many officials, he has one of his biggest weaknesses, that is, the little prince is too young. At this time, anyone with a little conscience It is impossible for the ministers to support the little prince to ascend to the throne, what Daxing needs now is an emperor who can win this battle." He Yunzhang speculated.

"That's right, the little prince is weak in age after all. If it's a peaceful time, it's fine. Maybe those old ministers are still willing to choose the little prince to sit on the throne, so that they can seize power wantonly." If the ruler is strong, the ministers will be weak. If the ministers don't want to be weak, then they can just We can pick a weaker emperor, but the current situation is critical, they can only abandon the little prince, "so the little prince suddenly vomited black blood and passed out when he was having breakfast in the palace. The imperial physician was summoned for emergency treatment, but the little prince was still powerless and died on the same day.

The Marquis of Changning and Concubine Li are also helpless. How long have they been in business? How long have they been in business? Seeing hope is in sight, but they suddenly suffered such a blow. Turn around quickly.

"I don't know if it was the Marquis of Changning's final counterattack. The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince led their troops to break through Cheng Wang's blockade and escaped from the capital overnight. Their whereabouts are unknown."

"The whereabouts are really unknown? Can we find out their whereabouts?" He Yunzhang frowned. These two princes are now hot potatoes, and it is not good for anyone to pick them up. What he is most worried about is which prince will come to him. Coming to join Jian Leyang and Canghe Gang, the plot is also the power in Jian Leyang's hands, how will Jian Leyang choose then?
