Among the several subordinate officials from the East Palace, Qiu Mu's official position and status are the lowest, but his father is a squire of the Ministry of Works, and he is in Chang'an at the moment, so Qiu Mu, as the former companion and confidant of the prince of the East Palace, was also managed to be sent to Beijing by the Duke of Jin.

Fang Yude of the East Palace was born in Yushitai, his surname is Fang, and his official position is Yude Doctor, who is responsible for correcting the words and deeds of the prince and is a counselor. He, like many officials in the East Palace, was locked up in the East Palace on the day the prince was forced into the palace, and he did not participate in the matter, but later when Jiang Daoqi saw that the situation was wrong and went to save his daughter, he rescued him by the way.

Chu Rui and Chu Chengxuan did not let many officials of the East Palace participate in forcing the palace, so that they could be used in the future and leave them with a clean reputation. This is true for Li Rui and several companions. Qin Bin and Li Rui were resting that day, but Qiu Mu and many subordinate officials did not go home. When the fire broke out in the palace, these subordinate officials were in a panic, Jiang Daoqi took a group of soldiers and horses to rescue them, and they followed the princess and others out of the palace.

Then Qin Feng went to save the emperor from the tunnel, but the Spring Palace was burned to seal the bath hall, and these soldiers had to go back to the north gate of the palace from the north, and go back from the main gate to escort them.

Qin Feng's rescue was ineffective, and the crown prince did not succeed, and it was also when he was panicked and frightened in his heart, Jiang Daoqi was so scheming, and he found out the reason in a few clicks, and when he heard that the queen and Zhang Nuo had escaped, he was immediately overjoyed, and came up with a way to "welcome the queen mother and protect the emperor and grandson".

At that time, the situation was so chaotic that many people thought that no one in the palace had escaped except the queen. The second prince of the eldest prince died on the spot, in order to get the edict and the jade seal, the emperor also suffered a lot of torture from the second prince before he died, and was hacked to death by the guards who rescued him. The third prince and the little prince were nowhere to be found, the entire palace was burning, and there was no power to search, and the bloodline in Jiang Qingling's womb became the only hope.

Of course, Zhang Shaoguang knew where the little prince was, but for the safety of her own son, she gritted her teeth and said that she didn't know, and she washed her face with tears all day long, showing that she was overly damaged.

Now that Jiang Daoqi and Qin Feng's thousands of soldiers and horses have formed an alliance, the Jiang family is Jiang Daoqi's daughter, and the Jiang family naturally hopes to support the succession of the Son of Heaven with his own bloodline. At this time, it was almost crazy to say that the youngest son was in Li Maona.

Zhang Nuo, the Duke of Jin, was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and had to make a false deal with these people in order to protect his family and Zhang Shaoguang. As the queen's cousin, after this chaos, the only one can rely on is herself, and his years of friendship and alliance with Jiang Daoqi are enough for him to play a role in Jiangnan.

What's more, there are a large number of subordinate officials in the East Palace, but many of them are factions of the Duke of Jin, and some of them are henchmen of the emperor who later put him next to the prince to teach, and not all of them follow Jiang Daoqi all the way.

The Jin State released □ Duan and kept admonishing these subordinate officials to be patient and wait and see what happened, and then they were "protected" by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the people and horses who broke into the palace to go south.

As for when the Duke of Jin Guo was protected by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and returned to his home to prepare for the south, it was purely an accident when he saw his daughter.

For a while, he was glad that his son-in-law could see the subtleties and send his daughter to the safest place, but he was also annoyed that the safe place had become unsafe now.

Zhang Suyi is just a woman, and she has a gorgeous appearance, if she pretends not to know what it will be to leave her in the Jin State Mansion and wait for her when the whole city is in chaos, you can imagine.

So Zhang Nuo could only take his daughter with him and went to Jiangnan.

Jiang Daoqi calculated everything very well, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, but there were a few things that his wisdom and methods could not change at all.

First, the little prince, who is the queen's concubine, is not dead. Not only did he not die, Li Mao actually held the edict of the Chinese army and Chu Rui, and the jade seal of the country was also brought out of the palace by Qi Shao. They publicized the content of "the prince may have some changes, abolish the prince and appoint his son-in-law Chu Chengping as the prince" to the world, and suddenly won the name of "orthodoxy" supported by the vast majority of people.

The second is that the third prince, Chu Chenglie, did not die. The second prince and King Xiang Cheng claimed that like Li Mao, they secretly obtained the emperor's will to ask for "King Qin" and took the emperor's private soldiers into the palace to rescue him. As a result, the prince's men and horses were too cruel, forcing the palace to burn down, and when they went to save the queen mother, they only rescued the three princes, and the palace concubines and princesses who lived in the deepest part of the harem died in the fire.

Their words faintly pointed out that the little prince was Li Maoli's puppet and was fake.

At this moment, Jiang Daoqi suddenly became embarrassed. He originally thought that his daughter was the last royal blood in her womb, and she could still give it a go. As a result, the child was twice as small as the two uncles, neither the eldest nor the elder, and even if he was born a boy, he was only one of the heirs, not even the best candidate.

And then he miscalculated even more because of Jiang Qingling's motherhood and love for the prince.

Jiang Daoqi loves this daughter very much at home, and Jiang Qingling is also obedient to his father. Because Jiang Qingling may encounter miscarriages, premature deaths, or the child is a daughter, Jiang Daoqi revealed his plan to Jiang Qingling in advance, hoping that his daughter can cooperate.

When Jiang heard that these people were going to push her child, Tianzi knew that the situation was even worse for her child, and now when he heard his father's plan, he was even more angry.

She and the prince have a deep affection, and they have been married for several years before looking forward to this child, and there is no day when they don't look forward to it. As a result, her father had long been ready to replace the real royal bloodline with a baby boy from the Jiang family.

She and the crown prince's child are so noble, how could he/she be replaced by a fake because he or she may be disabled or a daughter? This is the only bloodline left by the crown prince!

Jiang Qingling has grown a lot in the palace, and now she is no longer an innocent girl who doesn't know anything. She agreed with her father's approach very meekly, and at the same time strengthened her exercise, actively taking supplements for the health of her children, and made a very cooperative appearance.

Secretly, he contacted several of the prince's most trusted subordinates through his henchmen, as well as his friend Zhang Suyi in the boudoir, and revealed his father's thoughts and practices.

On the day of production, Jiang Qingling had just started, and the old officials of the East Palace and the Duke of Jin Guo were guarding outside the delivery room earlier than Jiang Daoqi. With Jiang Qingling's yelling in the delivery room, "Where are you going to take my daughter", these people couldn't care about it, and rushed in and grabbed the stable woman who was preparing to change the baby boy to the county lord.

At this moment, it can be said that Jiang, Qin and the old department of the East Palace have completely turned against each other and dismantled the gang, which has made the situation serious.

The officials of the clan really want children with clan blood to be emperors, and they are willing to give money to people for this reason, but it does not mean that they are fools, and they are willing to invest and dedicate their direct babies to become emperors.

If this is the case deliberately, then they will all take their children in exchange, why should they let the Jiang family benefit?

The people of the East Palace will follow Jiang Daoqi and the Chinese army Xiao cavalry battalion to Jiangnan, one is to be deterred by the force of the three thousand Xiao cavalry battalion soldiers, and the other is to see the incense of the prince of the East Palace, the most important thing is that they have missed the opportunity to support the little prince at the earliest, and now they will not be taken seriously if they get together, and they will even be regarded as accomplices of the gang who broke into the palace, it is better to fight for a gamble.

There is no shortage of loyal ministers and martyrs in the East Palace, these people are waiting for you to sharpen your sword and do something to him. They are always ready to wake up the world with their deaths. If the Jiang family persecuted too quickly, it would lead to a monstrous disaster.

Now that Jiang Qingling gave birth to a daughter, these people immediately protected the county lord and began to put pressure on the Jiang family in the name of "unjustifiable words".

This time the situation changed too quickly, Jiang Daoqi first lost the trust of the East Palace, and then lost Qin Feng's deterrent, and the clan standing behind him exerted pressure again, forcing him to get closer to Zhang Nuo again.

Zhang Nuo was the "Auxiliary Minister" on the emperor's edict. Even if the little prince ascended the throne in Chang'an, this seat was still reserved for his cousin. This was originally Qi Shao's counter-ploy to divide the people in Jiangnan, but now it really comes in handy.

Zhang Nuo promised that returning to Beijing would reinstate their officials or go one step better, and negotiated with various forces in Jiangnan, willing to stay in Jiangnan and negotiate with the imperial court, and strive for the reward of "protecting" the empress and the descendants of the imperial family for these people.

This time it was the last straw that completely overwhelmed Jiang Daoqi.

You must know that Jiang Daoqi has no official position in the DPRK and China. The only thing he can rely on is that his daughter is the crown princess, and his grandson may be a little son.

But this Duke of Jin is the chief assistant of a country, the brother of the Queen Mother, and the uncle of the young emperor now.

Jiang Daoqi's most disdainful official position in Da Chu became the ultimate reason for his failure.

Zhang Nuo almost pitied him.

Qiu Mu and Fang Yude clearly explained the cause and effect clearly, Zhang Suyi on the side nodded in affirmation from time to time, and soon, Li Mao and Qi Shao and other ministers began to discuss quietly.

Qiu Jing, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was summoned to listen to the government, was pleased to find that his son had become more calm and tolerant after the palace rebellion and the trip to Jiangnan, and he no longer had the radical spirit and impetuousness that he often had in Beijing.

The father silently thanked God in his heart.

Chu Chengping often watched his father and queen mother in the palace, and knew that such things could not be discussed for a while. So he only asked a few words that he cared about.

"How is my mother? Is the crown princess good? How is my niece? ”

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been named a guest and has never been slowed down for a day. The crown princess cherishes herself, and her body is healthy, so that the birth is smooth, and the mother and daughter are safe. The daughter of the crown prince was taken care of by the Duchess of the Jin Kingdom, Jiang, and the wife of the prince's guest, Wang Lang, and was guarded by the Xiao cavalry camp, so there was no danger. ”

When Chu Chengping heard this, he showed his first smile.

The dear relatives standing next to his throne couldn't help but laugh when they saw that the big stone in this dear friend's heart had been removed.

Gu Qing, who was bored in the Xuanzheng Palace, saw the interaction in the hearts of the two children, and immediately felt bad.

No way...... Won't be bloody to kiss and peaceful childhood sweethearts, secretly have feelings, and finally stay and fly together, right?

Chen Ajiao and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che were also childhood sweethearts, but they were "resentful".

Xu Pingjun and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun were also childhood sweethearts, and as a result, they "lost their love in Nanyuan".

……

In front of Gu Qing, countless versions of the emperor's chaos and abandonment ran by, startling a piece of grass and mud in her heart. On the back of every alpaca is a little emperor who was beaten by his relatives and couldn't take care of himself, a little emperor after "one knife and two cuts", a little emperor who tore his hands, a little emperor who was paralyzed, and a little emperor who was a eunuch......

In order to prevent the Li family from being wiped out by the Nine Clans, she still has to think of a way.

Break the bend...... No, education should start from the baby.

Now let's start breaking ...... It's still too late to educate the little emperor.

Who called her "Aunt Fairy"?

Gu Qing was racking her brains there thinking about how to find a way to educate Chu Chengping as her family's virtuous grandson-in-law in the same way as she educated several grandchildren.

In her experience, a child like this with a hill in his chest cannot be intimidated, but can only be induced. It is better to arouse his reverie and pursuit. Because most of such children are idealists.

Gu Qing was racking his brains so much that he forgot where he was. As a result, Li Mao gave a huge "No!" "I was so scared that I almost jumped up.

When she raised her head, the young emperor frowned, Qi Shao was silent, and the ministers shook their heads like rattles.

"How could it be possible for His Majesty to personally greet the Queen Mother! It's ridiculous! ”

Several representatives of the old family and clan of the East Palace had long been ready to return innocently, and they did not argue with these people, and insisted that the forces on the Jiangnan side were worried about settling accounts after the autumn, and they had to show sincerity to the new emperor and personally go to the reward.

Who knows if he will be cut if he is summoned to Beijing! After the Lu family entered Beijing, what is happening now?

The Jiang family refused to accept the official position, but was preserved.

The two emperors of Great Chu frequently took the Jiangnan Gaomen clan as a thorn in their eyes, which had already chilled their hearts. In particular, the people in Jiangdong are the most resentful, they have goods in their hands, and the Yangtze River in the south is a natural danger, if you really want to be summoned to Beijing, you can't do anything with him.

These families are uncrowned kings, and although they have no official position, they have prestige and money. Jiangnan is rich and is the rear granary of Dachu. Wars are fought with grain and grass, armament, and money. Now Chang'an's household department is supported by the Chen family, and even the young Li Zhao has to make calculations all day and night and can't sleep at night, just to squeeze out a little money to fight, to help the victims, to support the families of the fallen soldiers.

Tongzhou can't support Guanzhong, so they just recognize that if the little emperor wants to sit on the throne, they must compromise with them.

As for whether the Duke of Jin was really powerless under pressure from these clans, or whether the forces of the Duke of Jin were also afraid that the court of Chang'an would settle accounts after the autumn, no one knows.

Because of this proposal, Chu Chengping knew that although the Duke of Jin Guo was his cousin, there were too many people behind him, and he could not support him as clearly as Li Mao, the Duke of Xinguo.

No wonder Aunt Immortal said that the Li family is a good person and can be trusted. Standing up when the Son of Heaven is in danger, but not holding himself on to himself, can really be trusted.

Although Chu Chengping is young, he has rare advantages for children of this age.

He's not in a hurry, and he likes to think.

Therefore, in the midst of the "ridiculous" rebuke of the ministers, the young emperor only thought about it slightly, and said to several former members of the East Palace from Jiangnan:

"This matter is very important, I want to discuss with the ministers, you should retreat first, and be placed by the Honglu Temple Protocol House, and wait for me to discuss the results with all Aiqing, and then make a summons."

As soon as the young emperor said this, the room was shocked.

This means that there is still room for manoeuvre.

Several officials of the East Palace walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall with a much lighter face, and after many ministers talked about various safety issues, they strongly advised the young emperor not to risk his life.

In today's situation, a ready-made son of heaven is much more important than the queen mother!

Chu Chengping knew that the ministers would not accept it, so he hurriedly followed Li Mao and Qi Shao and left the Xuanzheng Palace. Kissing thoughtfully followed behind "Pingping", not knowing what she was thinking.

Gu Qing was also worried. As the emperor's Praetorian Guard, if the young emperor goes south to greet the queen mother, Li Rui will definitely go with him. After a few days together, the couple became one in the north and one in the south.

Moreover, the situation is now ambiguous, and it is not known whether there is any danger in going south. She worries about both her grandson and the little emperor.

Qi Shao and Li Mao, the Duke of Xinguo, went to the Yanying Hall with Chu Chengping. This is where the little emperor took classes and learned how to govern.

Entering the imperial study, Chu Chengping sat on the throne, looked at the Taishi and Taifu, and said almost without hesitation:

"I want to go."

Afraid that the fairy grandmother would be bored, she did not stand behind Chu Chengping as usual, but accompanied her grandmother to stand in the corner of the room, watching her father and the elder brother of the Qi family discuss this matter with Chu Chengping.

"Grandma, I want to go too."

"Huh?"

Gu Qing was stunned.

"Pingping is worried about his mother, and he calls the queen mother when he sleeps at night."

Qin Qin and Gu Qing were whispering, Qi Shao paced a few steps in the imperial study and shook his head.

"Jiang Daoqi and the Duke of Jin are scheming, and they make such a request, but there are traps everywhere. If His Majesty only cares about the danger and does not welcome back the Queen Mother, His Majesty will bear the charge of 'unfilial piety'. But if Your Majesty wants to go, it will be the same as the family said, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the family is worried that it will be lost to send the queen to Beijing, so aren't the courtiers worried about the loss of Your Majesty's southward journey? ”

"As for the rewards and official positions that the family wants, it is not difficult. Now that there are heavy casualties in Youzhou and Fenzhou, there are many vacancies in officials, Luoyang is in chaos, and there are changes in the DPRK and China, even if they are given some titles, it is nothing more than spending some silver. If you are in a hurry, you will be sealed to Youzhou and Fenzhou. ”

"Now is the time of the autumn harvest, the south has been in good weather in recent years, and the grain and grass are sufficient, but the northern lands in Guanzhong have been delayed in cultivation due to war, and now some grain and grass are not enough. If the south is uncertain, once there is a food shortage, we will not need to invade by foreign enemies, and we ourselves will have to start a mess first. They just looked at this and threatened the court to comply. ”

"Too much deception!" Li Mao gritted his teeth. "Even if the Jiangnan clan is not deeply favored by the emperor, once the northern rebels go south, do you still have to distinguish whether you are a clan or a commoner, whether you are a clan or a commoner, whether you are in the south or in the north! We took Chang'an as a danger, but we actually guarded the country for these thieves! ”

"The Lord Guogong has said that these people are national thieves, so it is difficult to expect them to be reasonable. If everyone in the clan understood the righteousness, the Lu clan would not give Fan Yang to the thief. "Qi Shao himself was born in the clan, so he naturally knows what such a behemoth as the clan depends on to live.

Imperial Grace? Can it be eaten as a meal?

"I think that if you plan carefully, it is not impossible for Your Majesty to go south to welcome back the Queen Mother. It's just that the Chinese army is now guarding the gate of Guanzhong and cannot be returned. Zhang Zhi's army had to guard Juyong Pass in the north, and it could not be returned. The newly recruited Praetorian Guards were only 3,000, all of whom were new soldiers, and they could not be compared with the military horsemen in the hands of the Duke of Jin who could fight well. The Western Army said that it was to defend the country for the Son of Heaven, but in fact, it has always been stationed in the city to defend the city, and rarely takes the initiative to attack, so I don't think it is enough to rely on...... "Qi Shao analyzed it little by little to the emperor and Li Mao.

"Qi Shao is so capable now." Gu Qing looked at Qi Shao, who was talking eloquently and swaying freely, and couldn't help but sigh. "I think back then, I also sold lantern riddles in order to raise living expenses for poor students. It wasn't that mature back then. ”

Those few words of "take it well, old lady goodbye", I don't know how many times she wanted to bury her head in the quilt when she thought about it at that time.

And now he has finally grown to the level of "national soldier".

"Hey, has Mrs. Qi ever done business?"

"It's more than just doing business! Don't be too good with this kid! You know Kong Ming lanterns, right? ”

"Well, our family did it. I know. ”

"Then let me tell you, one year, Qi Shao visited the Xinguo Mansion and wanted to buy the exclusive right to sell this lamp......"

Gu Qing was idle, so she simply told her little granddaughter about Qi Shao's various examples of leading the students of Guozijian to make a fortune.

Qi Shao used to be a close minister of the emperor in the palace, and he listened to the exchange of lips between the emperor and the Duke of Jin and the old ministers all day long, and he was used to that kind of obscure and meaningful way of speaking, and even his speech was not as casual as before.

And now he is serving the young young emperor as a "minister who supports orphans", and when he meets Li Guogong, a top boss who can't be heard by saying too vaguely, he has to transform into a microphone, a human translator, a clerk, a bachelor and other strange characters that are mixed together.

In order to make the little emperor understand and understand the words of the courtiers, he often had to hold an excerpt and translate these things into the vernacular for the little emperor. Later, even Chu Chengping himself felt that Qi Taifu was too pitiful, and when he went to the court, he directly said that he couldn't understand the difficult things they wrote, and troubled the ministers to write simply and straightforwardly when they went to the court, which reduced Qi Shao's workload a lot.

Qi Shao was accustomed to analyzing and understanding thoroughly in front of this monarch and a minister, and the province himself had to explain afterwards. He started from the analysis of the loyalty and availability of the generals of each army, and went straight to the soldiers and horses and honor guards that could be called, as well as the soldiers who could be called out to escort them along the way.

Da Chu has not lost his way, which is the reason why Da Chu has not yet given birth to great turmoil. Whether it is the people of Jiangnan or Guanzhong, they all believe from the bottom of their hearts that Da Chu can get better. The people of Luoyang City are willing to move the capital to Chang'an with the little prince, because they trust that Da Chu can give them a good future.

An emperor who can defend the country for the people instead of running away deserves respect even if he is young.

It's the same everywhere else. The people were willing to actively pay grain and taxes, and spontaneously accepted refugees from the north, all believing that Dachu would definitely be able to calm the chaos. If the little emperor can really gain the support of the Jiangnan family, and then welcome back the crown princess and the queen mother, the people's hearts will be more inclined to him, and they will get more support.

Now the question is:

First, when the emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he had to bring at least tens of thousands of soldiers to protect him, plus the additional government soldiers along the way, where did these soldiers come from.

Second, how to ensure the safety of the emperor? How can you be sure that the clan is not ill-intentioned. How to ensure safety along the way.

Gu Qing and Qinqin had already chatted about the same, and Qinqin didn't know that the always gentle Qi Taifu would write poems for Hu Ji, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard the old things. Qi Shao was talking about national affairs, and his daughter was frolicking in the imperial study.

Li Mao couldn't get off the stage with face, and he was very displeased, so he immediately told his daughter:

"Li Mei! We're talking about big things, and if you are so indifferent, I'll ask the waiter to fork you out!" ”

When Li Mei and Gu Qing were together, they always forgot that others couldn't see their grandmother, and they were not interested in national affairs. Chu Chengping was very good to her, never let her be wronged, she was a little spoiled, she was used to being a fox, she was used to being a fox, and when she saw her father bear him, she immediately had tears in her eyes and stood up all of a sudden.

"What is the difficult thing for you to discuss for so long! Give me the 30,000 people brought by my cousin Jun and sister-in-law, just like practicing martial arts, and let me go to welcome back the Queen Mother instead of Your Majesty! ”

"No way!"

Qi Shao, Li Mao, and Gu Qing were all stunned.

It was neither Li Mei's father nor Li Mei's grandmother who retorted so quickly.

Naturally, it will not be Qi Shao, who is experienced by nature.

It was the young emperor Chu Chengping who sat on the throne.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

I didn't know that Mrs. Qi, who had always been gentle, would write poems for Hu Ji, and I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the old things.

Qi Shao: Standing and lying down, I'm here to exchange for tickets!

Li Ming: I was thrown flowers by orchids, and I still have saliva!

Li Rui: I ...... I glared past the orchid.

Li Zhao: ...... I don't remember what the orchid looked like, so I patronized and went to see Wanning.

Li Jun: (Winner in life) I married an orchid.
