Chapter 372: Pottery
"King Gaomi is already old and decrepit, and I have been in a dilemma these days, so because of Meng Boqin's defection to Ruru, I finally saw some hope. Tao Fu's face is very ugly at the moment, and it is no wonder that as the commander of the forbidden army who is not famous and has military power, the Tao family has been in charge of the forbidden army for generations, and he has always been one of the most trusted families of the royal family.
For various reasons, he took refuge in King Gaomi, and if he smashed out the reputation that the Tao family had accumulated for a hundred years!
If King Gaomi succeeds in conquering the Hehuan Palace that night and practicing Zuo ascending the throne, this deal is a good deal.
As a result, Gaomi Wang Fuzuo was insufficient, and his achievements fell short, causing Chang'an to confront Lin Yuan for many days.
If it is said that this change, the one who has benefited the most and promoted the fastest is none other than Meng Guiyu, the new commander of the forbidden army on the side of Shanglin Yuan, then the most embarrassing thing is Tao Xuan.
If King Gaomi is defeated, even if the others have no way to live, they will at least have a good reputation for loyalty.
He is the only one who is a laughing stock!
At this time, it was hard to see the situation develop in the direction of King Gaomi, but as a result, King Gaomi lay down, how could he be in any good mood?
Now he said in a deep voice, "As a result, he was poisoned in this eye! The prince is useless, Qi Jianxun left Chang'an, and Zhao Xuan, Luo Pu and others were suspicious...... There is only one Fang Anshi, who is older than King Gaomi, and he is just holding on to the situation! This situation is really not optimistic!"
When the people under him heard this, they were also depressed: "However, there is no place for us to live in Shanglin Yuan, not to mention that the reputation is not good if it changes hands again and again!"
"At this time, I can only hope that there will be no big mess in the future, and I can survive peacefully until King Gaomi recovers?"
"How can there be no big mess?" someone retorted in a low voice, "Since Ruru invaded Northern Xinjiang and the Northern Xinjiang army collapsed for thousands of miles, Chang'an has been shaken, and the people in the left and near have begun to flee, and many people in the city also want to leave Chang'an and avoid going to the south of the Yangtze River, so as not to be warn!"
"It's all because of the pressure of King Gaomi, so I don't dare to make a fuss!"
"Now that this master is lying on the couch, he can prevaricate for a day or two, and it is impossible for no one to notice it for three or five days!"
"At that time, those big families in the city will be clamoring together, just like the son of the world, how can they be calm?!"
"The spies over there in Shanglin Yuan will definitely detect the clues and take the opportunity to spread rumors!"
"At that time, the inside and the outside should be combined...... The situation is unthinkable!"
"What about Fang Anshi?" someone asked unwillingly, "Fang Anshi is also an important minister of the two dynasties, Qi Jianxun received this news, and eighty percent of him will also rush back, after all, King Gaomi has been operating in Chang'an these days, so he won't say that he will fall, right?"
The person before said hesitantly: "The important ministers of the two dynasties! That is also divided into high and low! The kind of important ministers of Huan Guanlan Huan Gong, how can Fang Anshi be compared? The most important thing is that Fang Anshi is really old, if it weren't for King Gaomi's repeated retention, he would have returned to his hometown a few years earlier! It's not that he doesn't want to help King Gaomi do things, it's that he really can't bear it!"
"It was just an assistant before, and it's just a matter of returning!"
"Now he needs to come forward to support the overall situation, his ability to keep up, and his physical strength and energy are also ...... It's hard to say!"
"As for Qi Jianxun......"
"King Gaomi is lying on the couch, it is not Qi Jianxun who came forward on his behalf, but Fang Anshi, and Shanglin Yuan is not a fool, will he doubt it?"
"When the time comes, don't care whether you suspect that Qi Jianxun has also gone wrong, or guess Qi Jianxun's whereabouts and chase and kill...... It's all bad news for us!"
"The last Huang Xianyun, his prestige and qualifications are worse than Fang Anshi and Qi Jianxun, the real situation is chaotic, who will give him face?"
"Who called the son of the world incompetent and couldn't give confidence to the top and bottom?"
"......" Everyone was silent for a long time, and they all asked Tao Shu, "Grand Commander, what should we do now?"
Tao Xuan's face changed uncertainly, and after a while, he said: "Let's take a look at the situation first, if it really doesn't work...... We can only try to contact the Western Frontier!"
"Xijiang?" everyone was stunned and said, "The king of Mizhen County? This county king is much more capable than the prince, and even brought General Huaihua under the hands of King Gaomi! The question is ...... The western frontier is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to quench the thirst of the near by far water?"
Tao Yu said: "It doesn't matter! It really doesn't work, let's evacuate Chang'an and retreat towards the western frontier! Anyway, as long as the people and horses are there, it will be a matter of time before they come back." β
He also said, "Most of our family members are inside and outside Chang'an City, you should pay attention to packing up your things in the past two days, one is not right......"
He didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew it, and they agreed, and after discussing the armament and other situations, they dispersed.
And Tao Fu and the others were gone, and walked alone to the most remote courtyard in the mansion, in the courtyard, Rong Sleeping Crane, who had just gotten up from a nap, looked energetic, and was reading an official document.
Tao Fu glanced at it sharply, and the official document should have been in his study.
But at this moment, he naturally did not show any dissatisfaction with this, after seeing the ceremony, seeing Rong Sleeping Crane put down the official document and threw a glance of inquiry at him, he hugged his fists and said: "King of the county, please rest assured, the last general has already told his subordinates about taking refuge in you, and they are all in favor, and none of them are against it!"
"The Great Commander is really very prestigious!" Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gu is now at the time of employing people, and talents like the Great Commander are in urgent need!
The reason why he appeared in Tao Fu's mansion at this time was because of Tao Fu's help, and he sent his henchmen to try to cover him in disguise to pass the checkpoint, and almost generously entered Chang'an City.
And Tao Wei took the initiative to secretly find the Ningwei Hou Mansion and asked Xu Zijing to thread the needle and introduce it to Rong Sleeping Crane.
The reason why this person did this was that he was not optimistic about King Gaomi and Rong Qingjiu, and preferred to follow Zhao Shi and go to work under Rong Sleeping Crane.
At that time, Rong Mianhe had just sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Liuguang, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go into the city in person to meet with Tao Yu to show his attention, and at the same time, he also took the opportunity to touch the details of Chang'an City at the moment.
Of course, Dong Liang and Gongsun Xi were against him taking the risk personally, but Rong Sleeping Crane insisted on going his own way, and his subordinates couldn't stop him.
Seeing Rong Sleeping Crane coming in person, he was very excited, not only arranging to stay in his own mansion, daily living, but also higher treatment than himself, and personally sent it every day to prevent leakage of news.
Today, I heard that King Gaomi had an accident, so he hurriedly led people to make it difficult for Rong Qingjiu, and finally used this as an excuse to persuade his subordinates to switch to Rong Sleeping Crane, and he also did his best.
At this moment, Rong Sleeping Crane encouraged him a few words, as if he said inadvertently: "Yongyibo's family is at sea, and the lonely princess of the county will entertain him personally, everything is fine, don't worry too much about it!"
Tao Fu was shocked when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment, before he sneered and said, "The king of the county...... You are laughing! The last general is not related to Yongyibo's family, where is there anything to worry about?"
"Really?" Rong Sleeping Crane smiled, "Then it seems that Lone has misunderstood?" Lone had heard the county lord of Jingshu say before that the former Zuo Weiwei General Ouyang Arc was a teacher's person. I thought that the forbidden army had a deep relationship with the teacher, so I love the house and Wu, and I must be very concerned about the safety of Yongyibo's family?"
"......" Tao Fu opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, Rong Sleeping Crane didn't plan to question him at this time, so he quickly changed the subject: "You went to see the prince before and asked what the prince should do if something happens during King Gaomi's inability to see things...... What did the prince say to you, and listen to it!"
"Yes!" Tao Fu said busily, "The prince is actually at a loss, and the last general is just a reason to persuade his subordinates, and he is also afraid of startling the snake, but he doesn't entangle him much......"
Rong Sleeping Crane closed his eyes, listened to his 1510 words, opened his eyes, and said, "It seems that the prince still has hope of getting through the tricks?"
It was useless for him to have such naΓ―ve hopes. Tao Fu said, "The forbidden army only listens to the orders of the last general, if King Gaomi is good, maybe he can still have some prestige." But the son...... He can't hold people down. As long as the county king gives an order, the last general can besiege the Gaomi Royal Mansion at any time!"
Rong Sleeping Crane said with a smile: "What kind of Gaomi palace is around? Isn't it nice to ask outsiders to talk about killing blood relatives alone?"
He said lightly, "You just need to hand over Chang'an to Meng Guiyu...... When the news of King Gaomi's couch spreads, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city!
Tao Yu was stunned, obviously didn't expect what he would say, and said: "The king of the county, but Meng Guiyu is ambitious, and the Empress Dowager Meng is still alive, once Xuanjing returns to the imperial city, I am afraid that the first thing is to be pushed by the queen mother and Meng Guiyu, and the family of King Gaomi, including the king of the county, will be listed as anti-thieves, and the edict will be punished?!"
"This is something that Gu has to worry about!" but Rong Sleeping Crane waved his hand, signaling him to just do as he was told, "You just need to make sure that King Gaomi is defeated!"
After thinking about it, he said, "And you and the people under your command can withdraw as much as they can." As you said to your subordinates before, go to the Western Frontier, and the Lone Society will send someone to answer you!"
ββ¦β¦ Is there anyone in Chang'an City who needs special guards from the general?" Tao Wei couldn't guess what he thought, and was dumbfounded for a while before asking, "For example, Princess Gaomi?"
".............................." Rong Sleeping Crane was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said lightly, "Ningwei Hou Mansion, Sheng Mansion, and important people from Zhao Mansion...... Except for these three places, you can do it yourself, and don't damage the soldiers and horses too much. β
Tao Wei subconsciously wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and he only whispered: "Yes!"
Seeing that Rong Sleeping Crane seemed to have finished his order, he hugged his fists and was about to retreat.
When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Rong Sleeping Crane behind him say as if he was muttering to himself: "If the princess is willing to go to the western frontier......
Tao Fu paused at his feet and said, "The last general will obey!"
When I walked out of the yard, I didn't hear anything else.
