In the Jiangfu in the capital, Jiang Mei had already received a secret report from Yun Ke and learned that Jingzhou had rebelled. She pondered for a long time, and rushed to Changganli with Jiuzhu late at night.

As soon as Jiang Mei stepped into the courtyard, she saw Xiao Moheng's personal guard Qin Xin standing in front of the door, it seemed that Xiao Moheng had arrived early, so she hurriedly walked in.

"It's a sin to harass Your Highness late at night!" As soon as Jiang Mei entered, she said apologetically,

"The girl doesn't have to be polite, the late night invitation, there must be an urgent matter!" Xiao Moheng replied briskly.

"Your Highness, Mr. Dongfang, the Yuan clan of Jingzhou has rebelled!" Jiang Mei didn't have time to sit down, so she looked at the two of them and said,

Xiao Moheng and Dongfang Zhan were shocked, although this matter was expected, they didn't expect them to move so quickly.

"I have received the flying pigeon message, Yuan Kai has already controlled Xiakou, and Yuan Zhen has gone south to Jiangzhou." Jiang Mei continued.

Dongfang Zhan's goose feather fan still shook and shook, but his brows were slightly frowned, "In this way, Jiangzhou is in danger!" ”

"In this way, the entire Jingzhou is already in the hands of the Yuan family, if they take Jiangzhou again, then attacking the capital will be like a bamboo!" Xiao Moheng's brows tightened, still quite worried.

Jiang Mei didn't think so, she looked at the worried looks of the two, but smiled lightly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Xiaomei has her own arrangements, Xiaomei will treat Jiangzhou as a gift to His Highness!" She smiled and was confident, "However, dare to ask Your Highness, is the Xie family's side reliable?" ”

"Just give it as the girl said, let them obey Yuan's command." Xiao Moheng has been looking at her steadily, and it is difficult to hide her worry between her eyebrows, although Jiang Mei is knowledgeable and wise, but this is the first time she has planned for him, once Jiangzhou is lost, it will be a catastrophe, in the face of such a dangerous situation, Xiao Moheng really has no bottom in his heart.

Jiang Mei took Xiao Moheng and Dongfang Zhan's worries into her eyes, "Your Highness, sir, the more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities we have, please rest assured that Your Highness and Mr. Jiang Mei have their own measure!" ”

"Haha... So much better! Xiao Moheng looked at her warmly, thinking about it, the situation under its realization is also in his expectations, as the so-called heroes in troubled times, it is time for him to make a move!

Seeing that the two of them looked gentle, Jiang Mei looked at Dongfang Zhan and asked, "Mr. Dongfang, is there any movement over there in Jingkou?" ”

"There are a lot of displaced people from the north gathered in Jingkou, there have been riots, and Shi Bing, the assassin of Xuzhou, has been suppressed, but the effect is not great, and it should be reported to the imperial court in the near future." Dongfang Zhan replied, as soon as he mentioned this, Dongfang Zhan had an indescribable meaning in his heart, and it seemed to be just right.

"Haha...."Jiang Mei's eyes sparkled, "The time is ripe, Your Highness can ask for an order to go to Jingkou to suppress the displaced people, however, Dahuan has always been the dictatorship of the clan, and there has never been a precedent for the clan to take charge of the army outside the town, can Your Highness be sure?" Jiang Mei looked at Xiao Moheng and asked.

Xiao Moheng chuckled, "The girl also said, now the time is ripe, if the news of the turmoil of the displaced people in Jingkou and the news of the rebellion in Jingzhou arrive in the capital on the same day, it is nothing for me to suppress and suppress the displaced people, besides, I am not in a hurry to ask for a name, just to ask for an errand that no one wants to want." ”

There was a hint of fierceness in his deep gaze, and as long as he took this step, he was like a fish in water.

"Haha, the matter of Jingzhou, please Miss Jiang take a lot of trouble!" Dongfang Zhan poured a glass of wine and saluted Jiang Mei,

Jiang Mei smiled lightly, hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and saluted him back: "Where, where, the matter of Jingkou needs to be planned more by Mr." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Mei's wine glass came to his lips, but he looked at Xiao Moheng and said, "Your Highness has just accepted General Shi's daughter as a concubine, and General Shi will definitely help Your Highness to do that..."

"Bang dang..."

Suddenly, Jiang Mei's wine glass accidentally smashed on the table, and the hot wine spilled out, splashing on Jiang Mei's face, and at the same time spilling on her front shirt.

"Mei'er, are you okay, are you hot?" Xiao Moheng grabbed Jiang Mei's hand and asked anxiously, he knew that Jiang Mei's body was afraid of cold, and even in summer, he drank hot tea, so he asked people to prepare hot wine this morning.

Mer? Jiang Mei's face was embarrassed, when did she allow him to be called that?

"Your Highness....I'm fine....", Jiang Mei said apologetically, after all, she accidentally broke my way in front of him, but when she wanted to wipe the wine on her face with her sleeves, she found that her hands were grabbed by Xiao Moheng. Jiang Mei was suddenly even more embarrassed.

As soon as Xiao Moheng raised his eyes, he saw the wine on her face, and hurriedly held her shoulder, leaned forward and wiped it with his sleeve.

"Temple... Your Highness...."Jiang Mei was embarrassed, "Xiaomei came by herself..."But before she finished speaking, the wine on her cheeks had been carefully wiped by Xiao Moheng...

Xiao Moheng couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her face flushed, and said gently: "Is it hot?" ”

"It's fine... It's okay..."Jiang Mei avoided his slightly burning gaze and lowered her head to straighten her clothes.

At this time, Dongfang Zhan, who had been sitting on the side and watching the two of them coldly, had a slightly cold face, his originally gentle expression suddenly became a little strict, and his brows were even more worried.

"It's late at night, Jiang Mei said goodbye first," Jiang Mei straightened her clothes, got up and bowed, "I hope Your Highness will be more careful over there in Jingkou...."

Xiao Moheng saw that she was a little unfamiliar with herself, and she didn't even look at herself, so she couldn't help but smile bitterly, so she got up and saluted back: "That girl should go back and rest earlier....don't catch a cold...."

Jiang Mei raised her head and smiled reluctantly, her expression was as usual, "Thank you, Your Highness!" After Jiang Mei finished speaking, she bowed to Dongfang Zhan again, and then turned around and left.

As soon as Jiang Mei went out, she exhaled a lot, Xiao Moheng's actions just now surprised her, but she didn't think much about it, she lowered her head and twisted her wet front shirt, shook her head, and walked away.

Two days later, the capital, which was still kept in the dark, finally received the news of the rebellion of the Yuan clan in Jingzhou.

When Emperor Xiao heard the news, he immediately fainted, but fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time and pricked him with a needle, which made him wake up.

Xu Huaiyuan helped the trembling Emperor Xiao to lean on the couch, and there were all the princes, the governors of the three provinces and a number of ministers standing under the hall.

The sixth prince's face was not good-looking, after all, Yuan Kai was his father-in-law, and Yuan Kai did this, obviously putting him in an unrighteous place. Zhang Bowang was not easy to speak at this time because he and the Yuan family were both members of the Six Princes and a party, so he just stood aside in a sneering manner, not daring to look up at Emperor Xiao, and the other cronies of the Yuan family were quite embarrassed, and they were all silent one by one.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Kai has occupied Xiakou, and he has taken charge of the minister's uncle, and Yuan Zhen has also gone south to Jiangzhou, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I've arrived in Jiangzhou at this moment. Pei Yun was anxious in his heart, once the Yuan clan connected the upper reaches together, the capital would be in danger.

Emperor Xiao was startled, opened his eyes and looked at Pei Yun for a long time, and then asked out loud: "Then did he put forward the conditions for retiring from the army?" Emperor Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"This..."Pei Yun paused, and said: "I received Yuan Kai's letter early this morning, the first one is to move to Jingzhou to govern Xiakou, and order the general's mansion to supervise the military of the prefectures. ”

"Impossible, he dreamed that he would supervise the military of all the states, so isn't the capital under his control?" Shang Shu Youcheng Ji Ruosi was the first to say indignantly.

Emperor Xiao glanced at Ji Ruosi, didn't say anything, looked at Pei Yun and continued to ask, "What about the second one?" ”

"The second one is......" Pei Yun tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Mojiao secretly, "It is to make the sixth prince the crown prince, and the prince as the imperial grandson!" Pei Yun's lips twitched, and his tone was a little stiff.

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened, after all, they came for the throne.

The sixth prince was full of panic, and immediately knelt down, crying, and hurriedly said: "Father! The sons really don't know the inside story, so they ask their father to be gracious! His heart was already in chaos, although the Yuan family had sent a letter early, allowing him to wait for news in the capital with peace of mind, but he really didn't know that they had actually rebelled.

Emperor Xiao didn't get angry when he looked at Xiao Mojiao, but he didn't say anything for a long time, this Yuan's recital has been clearly written, agree to the conditions, then your son is still the emperor, if you don't agree, then Dahuan's country may have to change hands.

Xiao Moheng and Xiao Mocheng stood aside and looked at Emperor Xiao quietly, it seemed that Emperor Xiao was still hesitating, should he save face or protect the throne?

Pei Yun and Su Weixin glanced at each other, Su Weixin took a steady step, and said, "Your Majesty, you can't agree to Yuan Kai's conditions!" ”
