said that Ge Qiao and others helped Jia Huan fish out his husband Lao Tzu from the mountain overnight, and the next day he heard that the princes were surrounded again. Jia Huan couldn't help but sneer: "The saint is not here, this General Li doesn't even need to rebel, what people are talking about is escort!" ”

Lin Hai and Su Zheng raised their eyebrows and shouted: "Rude! ”

Jia Huan shrank back in the air.

Lin Su and the others hurriedly discussed what to do. Both of them are civilian officials, and the so-called Xiucai is unreasonable when he encounters soldiers, and there is no result after discussing it for a long time. Jia Huan couldn't help but interject: "It's useless to say anything without soldiers and horses, go and transfer troops elsewhere." Or try to get the general out of it. Isn't Feng Ziying's eldest brother's father very powerful? ”

Su Zheng said: "It's just that all the princes and mothers are in the hands of Li Guopei, even if there are soldiers, it is not easy to do." ”

Jia Huan said: "In the past, it was General Cao who took the saint, so everyone was afraid of throwing a rat into the trap. Now the saint is no longer here. The disciple said a bad truth, and it is not as important as a saint to add the prince and prince to the mother. Even if it is taboo, it is not as taboo as a few days ago. Moreover, Cao Datong is a righteous rebel, and if he can't guarantee it, he will kill the king, and everyone who rescues him will not dare to mess around. Li Guopei did not have as many soldiers as Cao Datong this time, his strength was limited, and he had the heart to support it, and after he supported it, he would definitely want to control the government and government, and he would not be guilty of killing people indiscriminately and making enemies for himself -- even if he had Dong Zhuo's heart, he did not have that ability, and everything was easy to discuss. ”

Lin Hai scolded: "What do you know? Relying on a little cleverness, I don't know much about it. As soon as the Son of Heaven left Beijing, someone did something to support him, but he only had so many troops, and when the soldiers and horses from all over the country rushed over, where would he have enough people to see. ”

Jia Huanqi said: "In this case, he is just a clown, why is Mr. in a hurry?" ”

Lin Haidao: "The Emperor has just left, and the country is unstable. Once he has to do what he supports, even for a few days, it will lead to the imitation of future generations; The majesty of the Son of Heaven swept the ground, and the future troubles were endless. ”

Jia Huan let out an "oops".

Only then did he understand the purpose of Cao Datong's rebellion.

On that day, he heard him say in Cao Datong's tent how he was dragged to kidnap the emperor's hundred officials, although he knew that what he said was not necessarily true and detailed, and it was roughly the same. That person is about the kind of "single switch" that Cong'er said, he is only smart in the matter of fighting, and he was led away after a few words, and he was only afraid that there would be others around him. The first one to him was the one who wrote to him that the old sage was going to return to the west, which of the six kings; Later, he told him that the saint wanted to destroy him, and eighty percent of the people who were full of men were the virtuous king Situ Pan, and others were afraid that they would not be able to come up with so much real evidence of the crime.

Pick a stunned young man among the generals close to the capital, and even coax and deceive and scare him to lure him to rebel. Cao Datong can quietly bypass the Imperial Forest Army and trap the imperial mausoleum, but someone can pass on information or guidance. At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and the princes and princes were all there, and if the saint wrote a holy decree for him to forgive his sins, whether he repented or not, he would be swept away from his prestige. Therefore the saint will not be willing. Even if there was a moment of hesitation, Situ Pan would definitely try to stop him. As time goes by, there are soldiers and horses next to him to help. Cao Datong's troops are limited, and he will be in a dilemma. At that time, even if there is no plan from Zhao Gongzi, someone else will make a plan for him, and he will rob the saint as a shield to escape.

Jia Huan even had some doubts about whether this Li Guopei was also picked up by Situ Pan. Like Cao Datong, he is not thoughtful, there are not many people, and he has no strength to do Dong Zhuo's things but he is ambitious, just a reckless pawn, but he paves the way for those who come after him. In order to immediately cause the prince to seize the throne, the ambitions of the princes were temporarily concealed. The most important thing is that the saint was hijacked by the rebels before he could begin to gather his military power. Now that the old saint is dead, the soldiers and horses on all sides have suddenly become ownerless, and it is difficult to think about it.

Jia Huan sighed lightly: Eighty percent of the saint fell into the hands of Situ Pan, and this hostage is afraid that it will not be so easy to return to Beijing. It's just that it will not be torn up. As soon as he died, the prince succeeded to the throne; He is still here, and the princes who are willing to seize the throne have become rebels, and the princes are all watching the drama to make stumbling and secretly rubbing to accumulate strength. When he returns, the foundation has been moved, the hearts of the people have been scattered, and it will be difficult to gather together.

Therefore, in recent days, there will be chaos in Beijing.

Jia Huan took a deep breath and made a silly smile to come to Su Zheng's side: "Mr. Su, discuss something with you." ”

Su Zheng and Lin Hai both turned their heads to look at him, and Su Zheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Huan said: "That...... I'll tell Mr. Sù one thing first. Soon after you left Beijing to send off the spirits, the disciples coaxed Cheng Yatou to live in our house. ”

The two old men immediately glared at him.

Jia Huan hung his head and continued: "Since the two gentlemen are going back to Beijing, please Mr. Su don't go home to live, and go to Mr. Lin's house for a few days for a while, so that the two of you can discuss court affairs, sing and poetry, so as not to run around, how about it?" ”

Lin Hai gasped, pointed at him and asked, "Huan'er, you tell me the truth, what happened in the capital?" ”

Jia Huan shook his head: "The disciple doesn't know, but he just feels that something is going to happen for no reason." Mr. Lin has Brother Yang at home is extremely reliable, let's send some dart masters over to make it safer. The gentlemen are all Shilin leaders, and it is difficult for those with bad intentions to let go of the two gentlemen. It's better to resign when you return to Beijing, Sister Lin is still in the south. ”

Lin Hai drank: "Nonsense! When the national disaster is at hand, how can it be avoided? ”

Jia Huan persuaded: "Horizontal and vertical is a dispute between the Son of Heaven's family, what does it have to do with the courtiers? ”

Lin Haidao: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, except for today, everyone else is a courtier." ”

Jia Huan knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up.

Because most of the Imperial Forest Army was rescued, and the capital was empty, although Lin Hai and Su Zheng hurriedly rushed back to Beijing before the ministers, they didn't know what to do for a while, so they had to report to the palace first.

There is still a royal forest army left in the palace, led by Guo Cheng, the right commander, and Liu Dengxi's father-in-law did not go to the imperial mausoleum. Now that they know in advance that someone wants to stand up, they can make some arrangements.

Su Zheng frightened Jia Huan, so he had to pick up his granddaughter from Rongguo Mansion first and temporarily live in Lin Hai's Mansion. Lin Hai was very lonely because his daughter left Beijing. Now that there is Su Cheng, it is like having an extra daughter, but I am quite happy. Jia Huan asked Ge Qiao to take fifty plates of Longshan heroes to be stationed in the Lin Mansion just in case, and pretended to let Lin Hai listen to a few words, saying that most of the young dart masters of the Taiping Dart Bureau were here.

Although Lin Hai also felt that these children were very military and did not have the atmosphere of rivers and lakes, because the number of children was too small, they didn't take it seriously. After chatting with Ge Qiao and others, I knew that they were all transferred to teach when Jia Cong was a child, and it was another "Mr. Lin" who taught Jia Cong at that time, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed! Let them write a few words on the spot to see, all of them are neat and tidy, and the sentences are quite skilled. Hearing that they all admired their daughters very much, they became more and more overjoyed, and they completely relieved themselves of this group of children. When they have nothing to do, they are instructed to study, as if they have set up a private school at home.

After the imperial tomb was trapped, Jia's mother was almost so anxious that she was really sick. Until Jia Huan escorted Jia Zheng back to his home, he put his mind at ease and ordered the kitchen to get some supplements to recuperate. It's just that Mrs. Wang hasn't come back yet, Baoyu was frightened, and asked Jia Zheng and didn't know anything, so she had to quietly pull Jia Huan to inquire.

Jia Huan said: "Second brother don't worry. Today, the ministers and all the edicts were escorted back to Beijing by General Li Guopei; General Li was followed by two groups of people from elsewhere! Even if he wants to take some female dependents as hostages, he can't take the second wife, and there are so many princesses. Besides, Liu's ticket club also returned to Beijing with them. They brought enough rice and food, and they did not go hungry. ”

Baoyu sighed: "I only want my wife to be safe, and I can't take care of the others." He glanced at Jia Huan as he spoke.

Jia Huan said lazily: "Second brother doesn't have to look at me. said that the second wife treated me badly; Even if she treated me well, I wouldn't have been able to save her at that time. ”

Baoyu was silent for a moment and asked, "What if Aunt Zhao is trapped?" ”

Jia Huan skimmed and said: "My own mother naturally has to think of saving me no matter what." is pro, no matter how vulgar she is, she is also pro; It's not a kiss, and it's not a kiss if you use all kinds of rules to force you to say it's a kiss. ”

Baoyu sighed, lowered his head and said, "It's me who is incompetent." ”

Jia Huan didn't bother to take care of him, turned around and left.

Poor Mrs. Xing is also generally trapped, and no one in the mansion cares. However, Xing Zhong heard people talk about the imperial tomb, and in recent days, he often came to Rongguo Mansion to inquire cheekily. Two days after Jia Zheng returned to Beijing, he happened to come again, knowing that the second master had returned, and the two wives had not returned, so he asked someone to see Jia Huan again. Jia Huan persuaded him according to what he said to Baoyu before.

On the sixth day after Jia Huan and others returned to Beijing, Li Guopei's army returned to Beijing with a group of hundreds of officials and orders. All the relatives in Beijing got the letter and burned incense and recited the Buddha in panic, hoping that nothing would happen to the Daming Palace today and that their families would return home safely.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Li Guopei smiled and hugged his fists to everyone and said, "Everyone! The capital has arrived, and the traitor Cao Datong can't harm you. The last generals will not be sent back to the house one by one, but please disperse separately. The ministers were stunned.

Along the way, everyone saw with their own eyes that the eldest prince was respected by him as a master, and they all thought that he wanted to dominate the dynasty with the emperor's relatives and ministers as hostages; In recent days, the saint has hinted back and forth that he has the intention to make the second prince the crown prince. Many adults borrowed the four treasures of the study room to write the text, and even revised it again and again, and also looked at each other and compared, just waiting for this soldier to support the great prince to smash him in the face! He let everyone go? How can he support the ministers when they are gone? Does he stand on it? If you don't support it, wouldn't the article be written in vain?

Seeing that none of them were moving, Li Guopei said strangely: "What, don't you have to escort the last general to the mansion?" ”

When some frightened officials and their relatives heard this, they shouted in unison: "Don't bother the general!" It's fitting that we'll go back to our respective homes! Suddenly they dispersed. When the princes of the various families saw that his people really did not stop people from running, they took the opportunity to slip away; Only the virtuous king Situ Pan remained. There are many generals who have been trapped for so long that their hands and feet are rusty, and most of them hurriedly ran away when they heard this.

Li Guopei looked at a group of civil officials and said, "At the end, I want to escort all the ladies and His Royal Highness the prince back to the palace, and go with the adults?" ”

Many adults who wrote the essay suddenly realized that he couldn't keep it and wanted to secretly support him in the palace while people were unprepared, so he hurriedly said: "I'll send you Chitose back to the palace with my lords!" ”

Li Guopei smiled: "Since that's the case, let's go together." ”

Then he urged the people and horses, and sent the sage's wife and children to the palace in a noisy manner, shouting all the way, "General Li Guopei of Anyuan escorted all the princesses and princesses back to the palace~~~ General Li Guopei of Anyuan escorted all the adults back to Beijing~~~" Hundreds of people watched and followed around, and many people who loved to be lively applauded, and they praised loudly without knowing the truth, "General Li is loyal and good!" "I can't hold back the hatred of the group of people who have the text, and they can't take it out immediately.

At this time, no one knew that Li Guopei had quietly taken over the defense of the city gate.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Li Guopei turned over and dismounted, and bowed his hand to the guards at the door: "Brother hard work!" The last general, Li Guopei, specially escorted the princess and princess back to the palace. Since it has been delivered safely, the last general is a foreign general, and he does not dare to enter the palace without a holy message, so he will say goodbye. "Anyway, don't care about that messy group of imperial relatives and ministers, and lead the troops to withdraw!

The guards almost told him to wait! It must be known that Guo Cheng and Liu Dengxi have already prepared a group of swords, axes and archers in the palace to ambush, just waiting for him to support him and launch arrows at once. He's gone! I don't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, a eunuch shouted sharply: "The general stays!" ”

Li Guopei took Ma Lai to look back, and a father-in-law hurriedly ran over and said to him: "The miscellaneous family is next to a lady in the palace, and I have come to thank General Xie to escort him all the way on the order of my mother." The Royal Forest Army rescued the car, if there is no general to protect him, who knows if there will be any rebels next to him who will take advantage of the situation? The general pretended to sing with a black face, and he didn't give the adults a good look every day, but in fact, he was to scare away the small people next to him, which was really well-intentioned! Thank you to the master of the miscellaneous family, General! As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

The audience was stunned!

Li Guopei was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Someone actually knows me!" Even though the last general was guilty of arrogance and rudeness, he was content. Then he arched his hand, did not dismount and saluted the unknown lady, and led the people away neatly.

The civil servants were in an uproar. Could it be that we all misunderstood General Li, General Li is really loyal to the country, and he didn't think about supporting him at all, but just to prevent the Xiaoxiao next to him from taking advantage of the Son of Heaven to hunt for misdeeds? Yes, yes, if he comes like this, others will not dare to act rashly even if they have this heart, so the emperor and his ministers can return to Beijing safely. Oh, we all spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! For a while, everyone was ashamed, and I couldn't wait for this time to burn the text in my arms.

The queens and princes returned to the palace, the ministers went home, and the capital returned to normal for the time being. Except for the Son of Heaven who didn't know where he was, most of the Imperial Forest Army left Beijing, and Li Guopei's men not only did not leave Beijing half a step, but even took over the city gates on all sides.

When Lin Hai and Su Zheng heard that the detective's subordinates returned to the Ming Palace, Qi Qi thought that he had wrongly blamed Li Guopei, and he was extremely guilty. Su Zheng wanted to go home. Ge Qiao had a lot of eyes, but he only felt that something was wrong with this matter, so he stopped him alive and dead, not saying that he had Jia Huan's request, and he was willing to let him go only if he waited for Jia Huan's words. Su Zheng was not happy, he pouted his beard and lost his temper for a long time, so he immediately sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to call Jia Huan.

Jia Huan also knew about it, inexplicably. Because most of the thinkers now went to the south, he immediately wrote a long letter to list the matter in detail, and then wrote a very simple military newspaper, using the blank envelope left by Wang Ziteng to put the fake military newspaper into the fake military newspaper, and invited a good man from Panlongshan to pretend to be sent by Beijing to Lingnan to report the letter. After sending the letter out, he also learned that Liu Aiyun had returned to the dart bureau, Jia Huan hurriedly jumped on the horse and rushed to the dart bureau to find Gong Sanyi, Liu Aiyun and others to discuss. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
