Chapter 406: Heading North
Although Zhao Jing smiled kindly, this smile was like a demon in the eyes of the others around him.
"Go and write the edict, and remember to stamp His Majesty's national seal and private seal when you finish writing, understand?"
"The slave and maid have written it down!" replied to the two men next to them, dressed in eunuch costumes, one old and one young, with the same expression on their faces as the Son of Heaven who had once been unconscious in the room.
Zhao Jing walked leisurely in the palace, looking at this place, imagining that in the near future, he might be able to become the master of this place and the master of this world.
But he had barely taken two steps before he was stopped. "Prince An, please stay, my concubine is invited. ”
The smile on Zhao Jing's face fell, and he said coldly: "Go tell your mother, be honest recently, otherwise I don't mind going back on my previous agreement." After speaking, Zhao Jing left.
Today's Xie family is no longer the Xie family it once was, and even the daughters who have been taught are not as good as the next generation.
His mother's concubine was also a talented, virtuous and virtuous woman back then, if it weren't for the persecution of his father, and his grandfather was weak at the time, he couldn't shake the Guo family to avenge his father, so his mother would have been so angry that she became so cynical as she is now. But the women of the Xie family's generation are all short-sighted, but they are arrogant.
Xie Huirou has been away for many years and has seen a lot of things, and she does not have the hypocrisy of these noble girls raised by the Xie family in the capital, but she also holds her own identity and is quite stubborn.
Thinking about it, it's still his little chubby girl, sleek and square, clever and kind, no matter what, it's what he likes.
Because he reached a consensus with the Xie family, this time he would appoint Concubine Shu's son Jiuhuangzi as the crown prince, so Concubine Shu always didn't listen to advice these days, stayed honestly, and always asked people to send him messages. Does she want to let the hundred officials watch that at this time, the concubine of the saint and the prince of King An are not clear and affect the overall situation?
Idiot one!
The more Zhao Jing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to let people kill the stupid concubine when he arrived, and then directly set up the Nine Emperors as the crown prince, and arranged for someone to take care of him as a puppet emperor, and everything was in his own hands. But come to think of it, it's not appropriate to do that now, and it gives other people some excuses, and then it's not good to make a mess again.
But even if Zhao Jing took precautions like this, the chaos still came out.
Because the saint did not go to court for many days, and he did not see any courtiers except for the Xie family and the ancestors and grandsons of King An, so with the country as the head, a group of courtiers emerged in the court, and they had to see His Majesty with their own eyes to confirm whether the holy decree was His Majesty's intention.
Zhao Jing had long expected that there would be such a day, so he didn't stop at all and let people enter the palace to see the saint, but the saint was already lying there peacefully, breathing, but he never responded to anyone, which made the ministers who came to visit him scratch their ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do.
The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the Guo family was punished by the saint, but the hundred years of operation are not in vain, and now in the entire Great Calendar Dynasty, the Guo family and the Xie family have a long history, and the Xie family is now so close to Anwangfu, only the Guo family can stand up and say a thing or two to Anwangfu.
But now that the prince of King An is in his prime, and as soon as the ministers quarreled, this little demon star immediately revealed his former nature, and openly beat a veteran of the Three Dynasties in the court, and because of this, no one dared to speak casually, lest his life be in danger, because none of them dared to say that his reputation was higher than that of a veteran of the Three Dynasties.
At this time, Guo Hongye, who was far away in northern Xinjiang, suddenly sent troops and returned to Beijing with his army, and played the name of the Qing monarch.
The people in the capital were suddenly in danger, and some of them had begun to secretly let people go out of the city to send letters to Guo Hongye to show their loyalty, saying that they were not from King An and the Xie family at all, and were only loyal to the emperor.
I have to say that there are still some literati who have the ability to fan the flames, and this kind of thing began to be sung in the capital, and for a while, many literati and young people went out of the city overnight and defected to Guo Hongye.
However, Guo Hongye did not dare to accept all these "literati martyrs" from the capital, because who knows if there are any people placed by the prince of An in it, and when the time comes, he will disturb the morale of the army in his military camp, and he will stop fighting, so he will simply commit suicide.
Guo Hongye and Zhao Jing have been fighting for many years, and both sides have a certain understanding of each other, but they are also quite jealous. Because of the mediocre decision of the former saint, the two people who were originally evenly matched in the army, now Guo Hongye was forced to be crushed by Zhao Jing. But because Zhao Jing was "greedy for merit" and completed the task as soon as possible in full accordance with the instructions of the saint, coupled with Guo Hongye's "cooperation", many people were pulled down by Guo Hongye before they could firmly sit in their positions, and the rest were rebelled by him, and now they have become his people.
Of course, he can't completely trust these people, but if he doesn't trust them at all, it will inevitably make the people who come to him feel cold, so this generation of troops will go north, let these people take the lead, no matter what strategy Zhao Jing uses to deal with it, or what conspiracy and tricks are waiting for him, he is not afraid, anyway, these people will die when they die, he is not sorry at all.
In this way, the team that waved north was almost 150,000, nearly 50,000 more than the troops stationed in the capital, and Guo Hongye also contacted the old department in Beijing in advance.
When the people in Beijing heard that Guo Hongye led the army north, they were already frightened. As the people at the foot of the imperial city of the Great Calendar Dynasty, when they experienced war, war has always been in the drama and storytelling for them, but now when they look at the sound of the doors of each house closed and the sound of soldiers and horses running back and forth on the street, they really feel the atmosphere of war.
All the officials in the capital have been controlled by Zhao Jing as soon as Guo Hongye went north, and issued an order, at this time, if anyone has a change, there will be no forgiveness, and if it is serious, the nine clans will be punished!
Since the Holy Dynasty did not come to the early dynasty, the Nine Emperors were appointed as the crown princes, and Zhao Jing was the prisoner of the country, all the big and small things in the court began to be decided by Zhao Jing.
