52 Raise troops
Compared with the troubles of the Ling family, the situation in the Great Yin Dynasty was even more treacherous.
At the beginning of the national funeral, Emperor Chunxi ascended the throne by the edict, a month later, the concubine and the prince have been listed, the king of Yuyang has been promoted to the prince of Zhuang because of his outstanding merits, and even Wang Ji Rong Cailing has also risen and was named the lord of Yanzhou, and the important civil and military positions of the Manchu Dynasty have been promoted to half a level, and Yu Lu has been added, Su Jinhong has entered the military department Yamen as a five-grade official, and the country has been given a surname, which seems to have taken a big step towards the throne of the prince.
It's just that the prosperity on the surface can't hide the war report that swept in, and the female dependents of the palace of Yuyang didn't have time to celebrate, and when they learned the news, it was said that Rong Xijue, the king of Jin, had led his army into Tongguan.
Not to mention anything else, according to the itinerary alone, the Western Expeditionary Army was simply like a bamboo, and the cities that were impregnable in the past seemed to be vulnerable under their iron hooves.
In the palace of the new upstart Zhuang Wang, several children of the Tongling royal family couldn't sit still first, and they resigned many times and wanted to leave Beijing.
Tongling is located in the south of Anhui Province, Dayin is vast, and Jinling is not far away, they must also hold away from the place of right and wrong, and the meaning of self-preservation.
Rong Cailing, the county lord of Yanzhou, naturally stood firmly on the side of Emperor Chunxi because of his father and maternal grandfather, and when he heard Ji Cailan, the fifth prince of Tongling, say it with a red face, and wanted to beg Uncle Wang to try to send them out of Beijing, he looked disdainful: "Isn't it too late for your family to stay out of the matter?" There are 200,000 forbidden troops in Kyoto, and the division of the king of the north and south has rushed to defend it day and night. The traitorous party is nameless, and it will undoubtedly be defeated, and now that the situation is very serious, you should just stand on your side, don't wait for the chaos to be calmed down and then regret it. β
Rong Cai's blue face was blue and white for a while, and she was speechless when she robbed her white.
Seeing that her sister was reprimanded, Cai Zhi got angry and retorted: "Our daughter's family, what do you know? It's nothing more than obeying the arrangement of my father and brother, and your Zhuang Wangfu is hot now, who in the world doesn't know that it is a hero who supports it! If the Zhao Wang's family turns the sky upside down, it is not a great crime of rebellion, it is the punishment of the nine clans! We are close relatives, can we avoid it when we go back to Tongling? β
As he spoke, his eyes were red.
"What nonsense!" Cai Lan saw that she didn't cover her mouth, so she hurriedly scolded.
Seeing that she was still scolded for helping her sister, Cai Zhi simply cried.
She said it bluntly, in fact, the words are good, the family has long hated the current Uncle Zhuang Wang, King Lu has always been known for being cautious, the princes compete for the throne, although they can't seek greater wealth and dignity out of the matter, there is always peace and stability, but if Emperor Chunxi is deposed, the fate of King Lu can be imagined.
Rong Cailing said angrily: "Don't look at the backyard and don't cover your mouth, you have the ability to go by yourself, don't rely on my father, it's all lard that blinds your heart!" Grandfather didn't stand up to help the emperor back then, can we have the scenery of our family for so many years? Go back and be turtles! β
As he spoke, he rushed away angrily.
It was early winter, and the sisters were originally locked in the warm pavilion of Guangxiangxia around the fireplace to talk, Rong Cailing left angrily, and the bead curtain on the door "snapped".
Cai Zhi cried and shouted: "Get out!" Get out of here! β
Ling Xiang waved his hand gently, and several big girls such as Chu Long, Wenqin, Cai Lan Ruyi and Cai Zhi's Tong Ye looked at each other a few times, and retreated.
"Little sister-in-law, what do you think we should do?" Cai Lan asked with tears in her eyes while stroking her sister's back.
Ling Makeup's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he couldn't think of a good way.
Kyoto has been under martial law for a long time, and there is no joint edict between Dingguo Gong and several kings, and now there is a new prince in the king, and it is very tricky to ask for King Zhuang alone. And even if they return to Tongling, if the King of Wei is defeated, and the King of Zhao is in charge of the world, King Zhuang, who has made meritorious contributions, will immediately be a rebellious minister and thief, and his brother King Tongling will not be able to pick it out at all.
The crime of rebellion is said to be the three clans or the nine clans, that is, the clan punishment also has different punishment methods, some implicate the wife and the mother's family, of course, in the end, it all depends on the attitude of the winner, and there are also like the eldest grandson Anye who has a good sister and the eldest grandson queen, who is not dead as the main culprit.
The most severe clan extermination, nephews are also listed, not to mention that Su Jinhong has donated a huge amount of money and has been rewarded, he himself can be charged with treason, and even implicate the Ling family.
If he loses, not only will the Ling family's property not be guaranteed, but even the lives of Ling Dongcheng and the Lian family will be in danger according to the calculation of the big clan.
Cai Lan and Cai Zhi are full of consultancy.
Seeing that they relied on and trusted themselves, Ling Xiang thought that according to the King of Tongling, even if Emperor Chunxi sat firmly on the throne, he was just a vassal king outside, and there was nothing greater to ask for, but if King Zhao was victorious, and his children were far away from the land of right and wrong at a sensitive moment, he still had a saying, so he sighed: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't say anything, but there are other reasons for intimacy, and the two sisters think they both understand." Sister Cailing, she is not wrong, but you are stranded in the capital against the will of Uncle Tongling...... It's not a way, it's the best way to go back. β
Cai Zhi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "How do you go back?" My brother has begged Uncle Zhuang Wang, and he said that it is very time, so we should stay here and not have any branches. And during these days, Uncle Wang was mostly in the palace for deliberations, and often stayed overnight, and we couldn't get out of the city at all. β
"King Lu, has your brother tried to?"
Cai Zhi said: "It's useless to go, Lu Wang Bosu is a timid and afraid of things, he has long been sick and at home, and he can't even get up from the call of the holy decree, and he will never make decisions for us." β
Ling Xiang muttered: "If the emperor can defeat the King of Jin, you might as well keep it, I just don't know what the situation will be." β
When Cai Lan heard this, his face was anxious: "My cousin-in-law doesn't know, my brother received several handwritten letters from his father in a row, and he also inquired about the situation in the military department, all saying that the King of Jin has been on the battlefield since he was fourteen years old, and he is invincible, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court in the Beiting and Anxi capitals, and the Western Regions countries, and even the westward expedition to Persia, many brave and warlike foreign soldiers have been recruited, and the number of troops reported to the imperial court last year was more than one million. According to the report of the 800-mile rush at each level, this time he only brought 100,000 forwards, and he was invincible, and the siege was unstoppable. β
After a pause, he added: "The second brother said that they sent a document to crusade against the emperor and used the eunuch to poison the first emperor, and falsely passed on the edict, and now under the slogan of the emperor's grandson to punish the rebellion, they have no offense against the people, and the Western Expeditionary Army has a very high reputation in the march, which is no better than foreign invasions, and the heads of the local garrisons are mostly wait-and-see, and the resistance encountered is small, and there are almost no losses, but I am afraid that when the soldiers are in the city, the chances of the Royal Forest Army are not great." β
Ling Xiang nodded, thinking that according to what Cai Lan said, the King of Jin led an iron-blooded army that had experienced a hundred battles, and his imperial grandson was named by the first emperor, I am afraid that there was also a good military advisor in the army.
In fact, the princes have no seeds, who is strong and who has the final say, history is written by the victors, originally the King of Wei and the King of Yuyang thought that people would endure because of the namelessness of the teacher, for example, there were Fusu and Meng Tian in the past, obviously holding heavy troops, and they committed suicide after receiving the edict, and they cheapened Zhao Gao and his gang in vain.
But now dealing with the bloodthirsty wolf king, the court committee is really too naΓ―ve, he has been abandoned by the royal family since he was a child, and grew up in the bitter cold land of Xisai, how much can he learn the etiquette, righteousness and shame of the Central Plains? I don't care about what I have to seal Jiuxi, so I came with a fist!
