300,000 people, not 3,000, not 30,000, but 300,000......

Once the fight really starts, it will be another bloody battle......

Lou Yichen twisted his eyebrows and said: "It shouldn't be, the emperor has been trapped in the Xuanwen Hall for so long, it is impossible to do it......"

Yes, the emperor has been under house arrest in the Xuanwen Hall since the end of last year, especially in recent months, the guards of the Xuanwen Hall have become stricter, almost eliminating all contact between him and the outside world, this kind of thing, if it is arranged in advance, it is reasonable, but how does he know when Rong Zhi will have an accident?

You must know that those rebels began to move on the third day after Rong Zhi fell, and the original 300,000 people were stationed in the scattered troops stationed on the eastern border and in the area of Donglin County, but they were mobilized together on the third day after Rong Zhi's accident, and they had already gathered together in just three days, just two days ago, the 300,000 troops gathered in the Donglin area unveiled the uprising, obviously someone arranged it, and no matter how far-sighted Rong Zhi was, it was impossible to make arrangements at the first time when Rong Zhi had an accident, unless he had long expected that Rong Zhi would have an accident at this time, but it was unlikely。

Moreover, how did he get so many soldiers and horses? Most of the troops of the Chu State were in the hands of Rong Zhi and him and King Shen, and there were 300,000 border garrisons in the western area, plus the garrisons in various places in the western border, the total garrison was as many as 500,000, in addition to his 100,000 army, the 100,000 in the Shen Palace, the remaining 300,000 had 200,000 garrisons arranged by the first emperor when he was alive, and 100,000 were added by Rong Zhi five years ago.

But how is this possible?

Although Rong Zhi also participated in the government before, he was very few, and he would not interfere in military affairs, these 300,000 people were either arranged by the first emperor or arranged by Rong Zhi, and they were held in Rong Zhi's hands, how could it be ......

The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth hooked slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Big brother, our emperor's city is much deeper than what you know!"

He can quietly install his own people around Rong Zhi, so what's so difficult about placing a few of his own people in the army?

What's more, over the years, Rong Zhi has never been on guard against him, Rong Zhi didn't have the intention of monopolizing power and not returning it, so he let him do what he wanted, plus Rong Zhi has always been unkind to people and doesn't know how to convince people's hearts, there are many people who are dissatisfied with him, this is the case in the DPRK, and the same is true in the army, in contrast, Rong Zhi knows better how to buy people's hearts, so it is not surprising that Rong Zhi can secretly control and get military power, after all, he always has to leave a way back for himself, but what surprised her is that Rong Yan hid so well.

Thinking about it, he has been under their house arrest and control, looking like he is sitting and waiting to die, but he is just waiting for the opportunity, he knows Rong Zhi's condition, and he also knows when Rong Zhi will fall, so he doesn't have to do anything, just wait, now that Rong Zhi has fallen, it is a good opportunity for him, as long as he takes advantage of Rong Zhi's accident, gets rid of Rong Zhi, and regains power, even if he dies, it doesn't matter, because the country will be his son's, and what he wants to keep can be fulfilled.

Lou Yichen's sword eyebrows twisted together, pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what should we do now? If there is a real fight, the Chu State will inevitably be in a turbulent situation again, and then the regent's hard work for so many years will really be burned!"

Since Rong Zhi came to power, he has been diligent and loves the people, focusing on the people's livelihood, and has spent so many years of hard work and energy, and finally let the Chu State have today's grand situation, so that the people of the Chu State are living better, although the riot and the war between the two sides during this period of time are tragic, but it has not hurt the foundation of the Chu State, nor has it damaged the people, but this time is different from the past, Rong Zhi fell, the people were panicked, and the people who were dissatisfied with Rong Zhi were ready to move, once the civil war would hurt the foundation of the Chu State, at that time, this grand occasion may be difficult to keep.

Lou Yueqing wrinkled her eyebrows and stared for a moment, then smiled meaninglessly, and said softly: "Hit ...... It must be fought, and it must always teach those who don't know whether to live or die some lessons, so that they know the fate of the rebellion, but big brother don't have to worry, the scene you are worried about will not appear, and Rong Zhi's hard work will not be burned!"

As long as the person who planned all this dies, there will naturally be no more turmoil!

Looking at Lou Yueqing's weird smile, Lou Yichen was slightly stunned, and then squinted: "Are you planning to ......?"

Lou Yueqing turned her head to look at him, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry about this matter, big brother, you and your uncle can just send troops to quell the civil strife, and I'll deal with the rest!"

Lou Yichen looked at Lou Yueqing's demeanor, obviously guessed Lou Yueqing's plan, looked at Lou Yueqing quietly for a moment, sighed, and said helplessly: "Qing'er, now that the regent's situation is unknown, there are enough rumors about you in the market, I don't want you to do anything more unfavorable to you, so ......"

"Big brother!" Lou Yueqing interrupted him.

Lou Yichen pursed his lips and looked at her.

Lou Yueqing turned her head, looked at the front with a long gaze, and said slowly: "How much respect I can bear, how much slander I can bear, it's just a few irrelevant condemnations and abuses from irrelevant people, it's not a big deal!"

Hearing this, Lou Yichen's sword eyebrows tightened, looked at Lou Yueqing with some disapproval, and said softly: "I know you don't care, but Qing'er, originally these things should have been done by us, these court battles and battlefield battles should not have been borne and faced by you, before you went to the battlefield to face those killings and blood, we can't stand you, you are just a woman, although you are smart and strong and do not lose to men, but there are some things that we can do, you don't need to wade into troubled waters and put yourself on the cusp!" ”

Especially now, everyone says that she is ambitious, and she murdered Rong Zhi to put Rong Zhi under house arrest with the intention of seizing the country, and the questioning and condemnation of her is the most powerful in history, at this time, she is at ease in the mansion and nothing is the best, as for these things now, they will try their best to deal with them.

Lou Yueqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then smiled, smiled faintly, and then showed bitterness, and said helplessly: "Big brother, you think too much, originally these so-called court plots and battlefield battles are things that I was born to face, no matter where I am, I can't escape, now I am the princess of Rong Zhi, anything I do for the Chu State is what I should do, I can't sit idly by, let alone let myself stay out of the matter and enjoy peace, I also ...... Can't do it!"

She also knew that the situation this time was different from before, this time the matter was much more serious than the previous one, before Rong Zhi got better, she had to do nothing to break those doubts, otherwise, it would cause the anger of the people of Chu and there would be a big mess.

However, some people can't stay.

They endured it again and again, it can already be regarded as repaying grievances with virtue, no matter what the emperor has done for such a long time, they have left a trace of leeway, but now they can't bear it anymore.

"But ......"

Lou Yueqing turned her head to look at Lou Yichen, and said with a faint smile: "There are some things, I do better than the eldest brother, the Lou family has just gotten rid of the stigma of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and can no longer bear any infamy, although many people misunderstand the Lou family now, but as long as the eldest brother protects the Chu State well this time to quell the civil strife, does not do anything against his duty, and the rumors are self-defeating, the Lou family's loyalty to the Chu State can be known to everyone, and I ...... No matter what I do, I have a way to keep the Lou family out of the matter, even if it ...... I'm not the daughter of the Lou family, so it doesn't matter!"

Even if one day, she is really spurned and becomes a sinner in the Chu State, it doesn't matter, as long as she is not the daughter of the Lou family, the Lou family will not be implicated because of her.

Hearing Lou Yueqing's last words, Lou Yichen's face sank, and he was a little displeased: "Qing'er, what are you talking about?"

Lou Yueqing looked at Lou Yichen fixedly, with a serious face, and said slowly: "Big brother, I mean seriously, in fact, I have been thinking about whether my appearance is a blessing or a curse for the Lou family, I seem to have never done anything for the Lou family, but let the Lou family bear these trumped-up charges because of me, what if ...... I don't have to be the daughter of the Lou family, so that no matter what I do, it won't involve the Lou family!"

She was afraid that the Lou family would be spurned forever because she would bear those stigmaties, and she would bury the glory and fame that the ancestors of the Lou family desperately guarded the Chu country, and the Lou family's army fought bloodily to gain glory and fame.

For a long time, no matter how criticized she was, and how bad her reputation was, the Lou family was not affected by this, but the stigma of collaborating with the enemy and treason last time made the Lou family almost bear the infamy of the ages, this kind of crime is not trivial, but it is not comparable to the harmless gossip before, and now if you add a stigma of killing the monarch and seeking the dynasty, then the stigma of the Lou family can not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

No matter how she used to do her own thing, no matter how resolute and resolute she acted was, it was just some comments and dissatisfaction with her, but it never affected the reputation of the Lou family, and even because the Lou family has always been respected and supported by her subjects, she is extremely respected by others no matter what, and no one dares to offend her, but now, the Lou family was previously slandered as collaborating with the enemy and treason originated from her, and now Rong Zhi has an accident, the emperor is under house arrest, the Shen Wangfu and the Ningguo Mansion have controlled the court and stabilized the military heart, and the Lou family is accused of trying to win the Chu country, if Lou Yichen does anything that should not be done, no matter what the reason is, the hard work of the ancestors of the Lou family is ruined, and the name of the loyal minister of the Lou family will inevitably be stained with a stain that can never be washed away.

She didn't want to bother the Lou family like this anymore.

When Lou Yichen heard this, his face was solemn, he took a step forward, put his hand on Lou Yueqing's shoulder, looked at her eyes, and said extremely seriously: "Qing'er, the eldest brother told you, no matter what happens, you are the daughter of the Lou family and the sister of my Lou Yichen, so this kind of thing is not allowed to be said in the future, fortunately, I heard it, if my mother heard it, I don't know how uncomfortable it is, besides, you don't have to worry about these at all, the people of the Lou family act and never care about the opinions of others, you just need to have a clear conscience, and the rest is not important!"

Even if everyone says that they are traitors and say that they have bad intentions, it doesn't matter, they are worthy of the ancestral teachings of the Lou family, worthy of the people of Chu State, and have never had a disobedient heart, not to mention, it is not difficult for the Lou family to abolish an emperor!

Lou Yueqing nodded and nodded: "I know!"

It is precisely because he knows that he is even more reluctant to let the Lou family suffer infamy because of her again.

Lou Yichen smiled at this time, and said softly: "Now that you know, don't have this kind of thought in the future, otherwise the eldest brother will be angry!"

Although there is no blood relationship, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the mother likes this daughter, and he also loves this sister, and that's enough.

Lou Yueqing smiled lightly: "Okay!"

Half an hour later, Lou Yichen left the Regent's Mansion, and then, an hour after leaving the Regent's Mansion, he left Chujing and led his troops to Donglin County to quell the chaos, and the affairs of the court were handed over to King Shen and others.

After Lou Yichen left, Lou Yueqing left the hall and went back to the back garden, intending to go to Rong Zhi, but suddenly stopped while walking, stood there, and wrinkled her eyebrows in contemplation.

Mo Li saw her standing still, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with the master?"

Lou Yueqing pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let Li Kui send someone to find Xue Zhen to come back to see me!"

Now the situation in the city is unstable, although King Shen and Lou Yichen are trying their best to suppress it, but the negative impact of Rong Zhi's fall still exists, so Xue Zhen takes people to inspect the situation in Beijing every day, so as not to have a situation, he is the number one general under Rong Zhi, with him, those who want to do things are naturally afraid of three points and avoid a lot of trouble.

Mo Li was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes!"

After about half a pillar of incense, Xue Zhen returned.

After saluting, he asked a little puzzled: "The princess is in such a hurry to find her subordinates to come back, but what are her orders?"

Lou Yueqing didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Do you know anything about the situation of the garrison in Beijing?"

Xue Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head: "I know a little bit about it!"

A little bit of it, in fact, it is very clear.

"Tell me about it!"

Xue Zhen briefly summarized: "There are 80,000 garrisons stationed outside the city, and there are 20,000 people at the four city gates, all of which are stationed in the military camps less than ten miles outside the city, guarding the peace of Chu Jing, and the security of the four city gates and the capital is managed by the city defense battalion, the number of city defense battalions is 20,000, the defenders of the imperial city are the Praetorian Guards, a total of 30,000 people, and the Imperial Forest Army is the new palace guards of previous generations of emperors, a total of 2,000, these people are only guarding the palace, and they are the people who are now guarding the Xuanwen Palace!"

Naturally, there are not so many troops guarding the ordinary city, but Chujing is the imperial capital of Chu State, so naturally there is no room for sloppiness, so the total number of garrisons in the entire Chujing is as high as more than 100,000 people.

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing twisted her eyebrows for a moment, and then raised her eyebrows: "That's all?"

Xue Zhen thought for a while, and then said, "There are also soldiers from the palaces of various families!"

Lou Yueqing bowed, these are naturally not counted.

Looking at Xue Zhen, she asked, "Who are the generals of these armies?"

Xue Zhen said: "The general of the garrison outside the city is called Guo Yi, who was promoted by the prince when he was in turmoil in the capital, and the city defense army is under the management of Lan Chang'an, the loyal and brave marquis, and His Royal Highness King Xiang is also in charge, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard is named Fu Yuan, who was appointed by the first emperor when he was alive.

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing pondered for a moment and asked, "How do they treat Rong Zhi?"

Xue Zhen was silent and said, "It's still loyal!"

"What does that mean?"

To be faithful is to be faithful, and to be unfaithful is to be unfaithful.

Xue Zhen said in a low voice: "They were not the prince's henchmen, but they were promoted by the prince after making meritorious contributions, and they have always been loyal to their duties!"

Lou Yueqing understood.

In fact, Rong Zhi originally didn't have many people of his own in the court, and he was not very good at winning people's hearts, so these generals were loyal to him only because he was the regent, not loyal to him as his confidant like Xue Zhen, nor did he want Lou Yichen to be loyal to him as his friend, but just regarded him as a king.

Just like those civil and military officials, they are afraid of him, so they are loyal to him, but they are only loyal to his identity, nothing more.

Since that's the case, then she can't help but guard against it!

As expected, the next day, Xue Zhen brought back the news that Guo Yi, the general of the garrison outside the city, and Fu Yuan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, had met several times in the past few days, and they were all secretly meeting, obviously ready to move.

With Lou Yichen's departure from Beijing, the affairs of the court fell on King Shen and others in an instant, and Chu Jing's situation became more and more unstable, and at this time, someone came from King Shen's mansion, and the old prince asked Lou Yueqing to go over.

The old prince's illness was not light, and he had improved slightly because of Rong Xin and Pei Yi's wedding, but during this period of time, Rong Zhi's accident in Chu was turbulent, which made the old man more and more worried, and his health deteriorated, and now he was sick in bed.

But even so, he was still worried about the stability of the Chu State every day, and asked King Shen to tell him about the situation outside every day, in order to make him feel at ease, everyone naturally didn't dare to tell the truth.

When Lou Yueqing came over, Rong Xin was also there, after getting married, she came back every day to accompany the old prince, originally she was supposed to follow Pei Yi back to southern Xinjiang, but the old prince was not in good health, everyone knew that the old prince would not live long, Rong Zhi authorized Pei Yi not to go back to southern Xinjiang first, so she is still in Chujing, accompanying the old prince every day.

Rong Xin is sensible, and she is a lot more dignified and calm, Pei Yi is also very good to her, and she doesn't mind her past at all, of course, she may want to open it, although she is not enthusiastic about Pei Yi, but she still cares about it.

After chatting a few words, the old prince let Rong Xin out.

There were only two grandparents in the house, and the old prince asked, "How is Rong Zhi?"

Lou Yueqing replied: "Rong Zhi is fine, grandfather don't worry!"

Rong Zhi's situation was not told to the old prince the truth, only told him that Rong Zhi had woken up, but he was not well, so as not to worry him.

When the old prince heard this, he was a little unhappy: "You girl...... Your uncle and they deceived my old man, and you also joined in the fun to deceive me, are I really old and confused? What is Rong Zhi's situation, I know in my heart!"

Lou Yueqing was stunned: "Grandpa ......"

The old prince waved his hand, stopped what she was about to say, and asked, "Is there a way to detoxify?"
