"When I went to pick up the grain and grass, I learned that the generals of the defenders in Wuhu had changed. The king of the East sent his men to take over the military power of Wuhu. Logistics Minister Lin Asheng said to Wei Ze in a low tone.

"What does Minister Lin think?" After the reorganization of the General Staff, most of what was once called a department was changed to a department. Only the logistics department is still a ministerial unit. As an old logistician, Lin Asheng is willing to work hard, and Cantonese people have special strengths in numbers. In Wei Ze's troops, Lin Asheng is the only one who has not expressed his stance on Wei Ze so far.

Lin Asheng didn't answer Wei Ze's question directly, he asked Wei Ze instead, "Chief of General Staff, does the East King really want to kill the Heavenly King?" ”

"What decision the East King is going to make, how do I know. And as far as I can see, the East King is afraid that he doesn't have this plan yet. Weese replied.

Lin Asheng looked depressed, and this old God Worship Sect believer who joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom earlier than Wei Ze continued to ask in a low voice: "Then why did the King of the East want to replace all the surrounding areas of Tianjing City with his people. Now the Wing King is outside, and the north of the Yangtze River is all the subordinates of the former King of the West......"

Wei Ze looked at Lin Asheng's appearance, and he said a little impatiently: "Minister Lin, let's talk about it this way." If it's really to kill the Heavenly King, if it's me, cāo. It's very simple, go directly to the Heavenly King's Mansion, and say that someone among the female officials of the Heavenly King wants to murder the Heavenly King. Then he killed both the female official and the king. It was announced to the public that the original information was true, but the East King came a step late and failed to save the Heavenly King. Do you think Dongwang can't do it? ”

Lin Asheng shook his head, "Chief of the General Staff, if you are more organized and decisive than doing things. I'm afraid that the king of the east can't compare to you. The king of the East may be able to command a large army, but he cannot command a large army. Not only the East King, but also no one in our entire Taiping Army can compare with you. So you can come up with this method, but the king of the east can't think of it. ”

Wei Ze was afraid that Lin Asheng would say something meaningless, so he took the lead and said, "Then I have to make it clear to you first, no matter how loyal Minister Lin is to the Heavenly King." But you can't do anything that will affect everyone, and now the king of the east has killed a lot of people in Tianjing City......"

Lin Asheng's expression was gloomy, and he said slowly: "I know this, I heard about it when I went to pick up grain and grass. Now there is no one who is not afraid, as long as the person who makes the East King unhappy a little, will either go to prison or be killed. The brother who was in charge of escorting the grain and grass also said that even if the East King really wanted to attack the Heavenly King, he would have done it earlier. Regardless of the outcome, there is always a result. It's not like living in fear all day long. ”

Wei Ze Zhengse said: "Minister Lin, if you want to get involved in this matter now, I will never agree. Don't think you're a person now, and to outsiders, you're my subordinate. Whatever you do, it will be considered that I am behind it. If something happens, it will not only involve me alone, there are so many brothers in our army, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat! ”

Lin Asheng was not as excited as Wei Ze, he said depressedly: "Chief of General Staff, I know what you said. I will definitely not affect you, nor will I affect my brothers. I want to say that no matter how this matter ends, I want to go back to my hometown! When I was a missionary of the Southern King, I joined the Worship of God. Now that the king of the south has ascended to heaven, so is the king of the east and the king of heaven. I just can't do it. So I also ask the Chief of the General Staff to promise me. ”

Wei Ze didn't expect Lin Asheng to make such a choice, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. Originally, Wei Ze thought that most of the brothers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would choose to participate in this major event, but now it seems that most of the brothers' choice is to escape. If this idea can really become mainstream, it will be very beneficial for Weese.

But Wei Ze investigated too few subjects, and he was not entirely sure that this was the mainstream idea in the Taiping army. So Wei Ze said in a gentle tone: "Minister Lin, if you want to leave, you have to wait until this matter is over." As soon as I beg you, for the sake of your brothers, don't do anything to tell the truth for the time being. Okay? ”

"Please rest assured, Chief of the General Staff!" Lin Asheng replied.

Sent Lin Asheng away, and Deputy Chief of General Staff Chen Delong ran to find Wei Ze. As soon as he saw Wei Ze, Chen Delong said excitedly: "King Qi! Let's get ready to go! ”

"Where to go?" Wei Ze was stunned.

Chen Delong's happy feelings were not affected in the slightest because Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, used extremely high-handed means to suppress dissidents in Tianjing City. He said happily: "I received a letter from my brother, and he urged me to hurry back to Tianjing City. ”

Wei Ze smiled kindly: "Brother Chen, you are the nephew of the East King. No one dares to say anything about you. If it weren't for the order of the East King, I wouldn't dare to return to Tianjing City at will. According to the rules set by the king of the east, it is a capital crime for the kings to return to Tianjing without permission. No matter what the situation, I can't break the rules set by the East King. ”

After listening to Wei Ze's words, Chen Delong smiled and said, "King Qi is indeed a great loyal minister as my uncle-in-law said. Then look at the will! ”

After speaking, Chen Delong took out a holy decree from the Eastern Palace, and handed it to Wei Ze. Wei Ze opened it and saw that it was an order from Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, who asked Wei Ze not to lead troops and return to Tianjing City to participate in the ceremony of the long live of the king of the east.

Wei Ze's heart shook, but a smile appeared on his face. "So good! But did the king of the east mention me when he wrote to me? ”

Chen Delong was still young and not scheming, he smiled and said: "My uncle-in-law wrote to me and asked you to return to Tianjing City." He said you wouldn't say yes, and then let me show you your will! ”

Wei Ze's face was happy, but his heart was very unhappy. Yang Xiuqing seems to be really going to do it. Wei Ze is an outsider after all, so he doesn't fully believe in Wei Ze, and in the end, he has to test Wei Ze in this way.

"Then I'll prepare!" Weser laughed.

As soon as Chen Delong left, Wei Ze immediately convened a meeting of the General Staff. "Lei Hu, Ke Gongyu, the two of you are now raising troops and horses to attack Suzhou. If you can take it lightly, then take it lightly. If you encounter firm resistance, don't pay too many casualties! ”

"What about after conquering Suzhou?" Lei Hu didn't mention the problem of not being able to beat at all.

"After conquering Suzhou, you will raise money, grain and grass on the spot! As long as you don't kill people, you can raise as much as you can! Remember, we only need military supplies, what antique calligraphy and paintings, I don't want to wait! Wei Ze ordered.

This is a very implicit accusation to sù Lei Hu that they want to loot a lot of money and food. Lei Hu readily agreed.

"Wei Changrong, Hu Chenghe, you hold Changzhou Zhenjiang. Before the Suzhou side withdraws, it is absolutely impossible to let them have no way back. If the Qing army in Xuancheng attacked, they would all be defeated! Wei Ze ordered.

"Yes!" Wei Changrong replied.

Hu Chenghe looked at Wei Ze and stopped talking, but he finally asked, "Is the chief of the general staff going to Tianjing City?" ”

"That's right! The King of the East has ordered me to return to Tianjing City! Weese replied.

"Do you want to bring more guards?" Hu Chenghe said.

"What's the use of bringing dozens of people?" Weser laughed.

"The Chief of the General Staff can bring more people in the name of the escort lady. More people are safer than fewer! Hu Chenghe still insisted on his own opinion.

Wei Ze thought about it, but there was some truth, and he replied: "Okay! I'll take my wife with me. But don't worry too much about me, everyone, and guard our camp. As long as you are not chaotic, no matter how bad the situation is, I will have room in Tianjing City. If you are robbed of military power like Zhang Yingchen, I will have no roots. It can be said that my life depends on my brothers! ”

"Please rest assured that the Chief of the General Staff will never sit idly by and watch others move the Chief of the General Staff!" Although Ruan Xihao looked for Wei Ze relatively late, he said very bluntly when he saw Wei Ze, no matter whether it was the King of Heaven or the King of the East, if Wei Ze was bullied, everyone would simply turn around and pull the troops back to Guangxi! At this time, his statement was still extremely tough.

After arranging the troops, Wei Ze went home and talked to his wife Qi Hongyi about returning to Tianjing City. Qi Hongyi was not fooled by Wei Ze's seemingly relaxed expression, she said nervously: "Official! Did the king of the East order us to go back? ”

Wei Ze just nodded, "If Madame doesn't want to go back, then it's okay to stay here." ”

Qi Hongyi grabbed Wei Ze's sleeve tightly, even though her face was full of nervousness, fear, and uneasiness, but in Wei Ze's eyes, her beautiful round face was still very beautiful. Qi Hongyi didn't know what Wei Ze was thinking at this time, although he couldn't help shaking, Qi Hongyi still put his head into Wei Ze's chest and said, "I want to go back with you!" ”

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, made it clear that he was not going to leave any preparation time for Wei Ze, and he could conclude this matter from the fact that he asked Chen Delong to carry out a surprise attack. Wei Ze didn't have any complaints, if he was the king of the east, he could only do this at this time. At the ceremony of Feng Wanzai, if there is no prince to congratulate below, such a ceremony will be too boring.

Those powerful soldiers and connections all over the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom court, the well-armed princes were obviously not suitable to participate in the ceremony of the East King's long live. The most suitable people to participate are Wei Ze and Hu Yihuang. It's just that Hu Yihuang is now on a westward expedition with the Wing King Shi Dakai. It is obvious that Hu Yihuang is the candidate used by Yang Xiuqing to monitor, at least the balance wing king Shi Dakai. At the moment, it is natural to support the façade without Weizer.

Moreover, the sudden transfer of Wei Ze back to Tianjing City can also ensure Yang Xiuqing's safety to the greatest extent. No matter how reliable Wei Ze looks, he is not Yang Xiuqing's relative, and there is no interest bond between him and Yang Xiuqing that relies on natural blood. Wei Ze himself knows best what kind of loyalty he is to Yang Xiuqing now.

To Wei Ze's surprise, he asked Li Yifang to stay in Changzhou, but was resolutely opposed by Li Yifang. Wei Ze didn't want to take Li Yifang into danger. No matter how well prepared Weser was, such a big change was always extremely dangerous. No one can guarantee that they are safe and sound. Li Yifang is actually quite pitiful, after the death of her parents, she was given to Wei Ze as a means of marriage. If Qi Hongyi is the wife chosen by Wei Ze, it can be regarded as a little obligation to Wei Ze. Then it is more appropriate for Li Yifang to give more priority to her own interests.

was forcibly ordered by Wei Ze to stay in Changzhou, Li Yifang grabbed Wei Ze's sleeve while Qi Hongyi was absent and said: "King Qi, I don't know why, I feel very uneasy when I see you going out this time...... please come back safely!" ”

Wei Ze didn't know whether to praise Li Yifang's keen senses, or to wonder if she had gotten some news from somewhere. It's just that he is full of worries at this time, and he really doesn't have the heart to care about so much. And Li Yifang raised her head, stared at Wei Ze and said, "King Qi, I'm here waiting for you to come back!" ”

These words inexplicably moved Wei Ze, he raised his hand and touched Li Yifang's cheek, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back!" ”
