Chapter 377: Rebel
Lu Guohua finally convinced Zhou Kang that he was loyal, and was willing to smear Zhou Kang's liver and brain, in order to prove that he was indeed loyal, the Chu Palace, Zhou Kang could only have the final say, and he retreated to the second line and returned to the position of the staff.
Song Changming accompanied Chen Chun back to the post house, and the two talked in the room for half the night. Early the next morning, Chen Chun did not come to the Chu Palace, and Song Changming did not return to the Chu Palace, but returned to Yanshi with Chen Chun, and reported to Wang Xin in detail what Zhou Kang had done over the years.
The more Wang Xin listened, the more solemn his face became, and he asked a few key places carefully, and then wrote a letter to Zhou Heng. In the compromise, he not only stated in detail the situation that Song Changming knew, but also added his own opinions on how to deal with it.
Then, Wang Xin personally went to Luoyang to ask for someone.
It has been five or six days since Zhou Kang came back, and in addition to sending someone back to Yanshi to pick up Shi's family, he sang songs every night and feasted guests to celebrate his safe return. The gentry and people in Luoyang are well known, and Zhou Kang is in Luoyang City.
Along with Wang Xin, there was also Song Changming, and the two made all kinds of assumptions about Lu Guohua's possible denial, trying to make Lu Guohua unable to deny it, but had to let Zhou Kang go back with them.
Unexpectedly, Menzi reported that it was Zhou Kang himself who came out to greet him. Not to mention Song Changming and Chen Chun, even Wang Xin was dumbfounded. Which one is this singing?
Zhou Kang said triumphantly: "This king and the emperor are brothers, they have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings are deep, even if there is a small misunderstanding, as long as the king explains it, the misunderstanding will be eliminated naturally." The emperor ordered the king to go to Beijing, but he just listened to the slander of those villains. This king will go up to the emperor and ask the emperor to expel the villain who separated our brother from the court, and return the court to a clear day. Go back. Let's just say that the king has returned to Luoyang, and everything is fine. ”
Wang Xin, Chen Chun, and Song Changming looked at him like idiots.
Is this a minor misunderstanding? Is this a villain's slander? There are only a few people in the old Zhou family who are qualified to be emperors in the world, and this one in front of him is one of them. If the emperor hadn't been suspicious of him, how could he have ordered him to go to Beijing for an audience? If he didn't have two hearts, why did he want to abscond back to the fiefdom halfway?
Wang Xin forcibly resisted the impulse to greet Zhou Kang's ancestor, and said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, the lower official was ordered to take you into Beijing, but you did not arrive in Beijing, how can the lower official reply to the order?" Please also pack your bags and go with the lower officials. ”
Zhou Kang waved his hand nonchalantly. said: "Lord Wang, don't worry. The king will write a piece of music and hand it over to you to take back. ”
said that he did not wait for Wang Xin to object, and immediately ordered Mo Mo to write a recital on the spot in front of Wang Xin and the three of them.
Wang Xin said: "Since the prince insists on refusing to enter Beijing. The lower officials had no choice but to tell the truth to the emperor. It's up to the emperor to decide. ”
After that, he took Chen Chun and Song Changming away. Zhou Kang shouted behind them, "Wait a while." This king has written it. Seeing that the three of them ignored him, he muttered in a low voice: "It's really urgent, and I can't wait for such a while." ”
Lu Guohua has been watching from the sidelines. Seeing that Zhou Kang was stupid like this, he shook his head and said, "If you want to be a loyal minister or become a big thing, the prince must come up with an idea as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Kang's eyes were stunned, he threw the brush, the ink splashed everywhere, and said: "If you want to be a loyal minister, wouldn't it be in vain that this king has been preparing for so many years?" ”
Don't you need money to rebel? That's to take the money and fill it in. Over the years, most of his family wealth was used to recruit soldiers and forge weapons. After preparing for so many years, I originally wanted to seize the country from Emperor Zhi'an, but I didn't expect Emperor Zhi'an to be useless, and I played myself to death. But just like that, Zhou Heng shouldn't sit on the country. Zhou Heng ascended the throne, and he had more reason to fight.
The reason why he didn't take action was because he had always wanted to do it secretly? Now it is impossible to do it secretly, so you can only do it openly.
It's just that his mind, how can the old man in front of him understand? Zhou Kang looked at Lu Guohua's eyes and gradually revealed a touch of sadness, if Mr. Zheng should be so good, he would definitely take care of everything in order, and he didn't have to worry about it.
When Lu Guohua heard Zhou Kang's affirmative reply, he jumped to his feet and said, "Since the prince wants to raise things, how can he let Qin send away?" He called the chamberlain, who was waiting outside the flower hall, and said, "Order the city gate to be closed." ”
As long as the city gate is closed, Wang Xin and a few people can be left in Luoyang. When Yanshi's entourage found out that Qin Cha was detained, he reported to the capital again, and the capital had a decree to come down, and it would take nearly half a month to come back and forth at the earliest. In the past half a month, if Zhou Kang is like thunder, he will not only be able to capture Luoyang, but if he is lucky, it is also possible to seize Yanshi and other leading prefectures and counties. One more city wins, one more chance of winning.
Zhou Kang couldn't understand this truth for a while, and glared at Lu Guohua.
Lu Guohua had to explain to him with all his might, but fortunately, he did not stop the chamberlain from going to the city gate to give orders.
The soldiers defending the city received orders to disperse the people entering and leaving the city, and the gates of the city slowly closed.
Wang Xin and the others, who galloped out of the Chu Palace, heard the sound of "rolling" and the door closing, glanced back, and said secretly: "It's so dangerous." ”
Zhou Kang's reflexes are so obvious, how dare they stay in Luoyang for a long time, they only hate that the horses are running slowly. When the chamberlain of the herald rode to the city gate and conveyed Lu Guohua's order, several people just rushed out. When the guards gave the order, and when the soldiers dispersed and lined up to wait to leave the city gate, their men and horses had already left the city gate.
When the city gate was closed, the group had already left the city two arrows away.
Wang Xin returned to Yanshi, urgently put on another 600-mile urgent performance, and then waited for Zhou Heng's holy decree in Yanshi.
After receiving the six-hundred-mile urgency, the palace gate guards immediately sent it in without stopping.
When Zhou Heng received this six-hundred-mile urgent letter, he was dining with Cui Keyin in Anhua Palace. After reading the fold, he smiled slightly, handed the fold to Cui Keyin, and said, "Take a look." ”
Cui Keyin put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands, looked at the ten lines at a glance, and said in surprise: "So, the king of Chu is going to rebel?" ”
Zhou Heng nodded, a little light-hearted.
Cui Keyin thought that Zhou Heng was looking forward to Zhou Kang's rebellion, she was about to tease him, but she heard him call Huanxi and said: "Xuan Tang Tianzheng, Cui Zhenyi, Gu Ning and others have entered the palace." Then, pick up the chopsticks again and continue eating.
The two finished their meal and talked for a while, when the summoned courtiers arrived. Zhou Heng got up and went to the temple of the body.
Seeing him leave, Cui Keyin sighed softly, Zhou Kang didn't care if he was looking for death, and he took pity on those innocent people. She was thinking wildly, and the Yang family sent someone from the palace to invite her, saying: "The Queen Mother has been talking about Niangniang, and my Niangniang asked Niangniang to come over." ”
Cui Keyin immediately went to Xiyuan.
The Queen Mother has been able to recognize people a little under the careful care of the Yang family, but sometimes she forgets that Emperor An has collapsed, and she will pull the Yang family and ask: "What about my son?" Why didn't my son come to see me? ”
Whenever the Yang family and Emperor An were busy, they prevaricated in the past.
On this day, she ate two pieces of rose cake, and suddenly muttered: "Who does the mourning family remember who likes to eat rose cake?" He tilted his head and frowned, thinking hard.
Yang couldn't bear her thinking too hard, so he told her: "It's the fourth brother and sister." ”
So, she clamored to see Cui Keyin. (To be continued.) )
