The old eunuch Xu Shiqi whispered on the side: "Queen Mother, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has entered Chengdu, and the Tubo army has withdrawn westward. “

"So what?"

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Could it be that the Shence Army and the Jin King's army can fight against the Tibetan army together?" ”

Xu Shiqi was silent, indeed, the Queen Mother does not have a little right to speak now, and the Northern Yaquan Eunuch will not come to ask the Queen Mother for advice at all, after they moved into the palace, they have never seen Ju Wenzhen again, basically under house arrest in this courtyard, the food supply is very poor, there are only two meals a day, for several days, there is only a little pickle and brown rice.

At this time, there was a palace maid in the courtyard outside, "Jugong is here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ju Wenzhen's tall and fat body had already appeared in the lobby, and Ju Wenzhen glanced at the Son of Heaven Li Wen, who was playing with a few pieces of wood in the corner, and said with a wicked smile: "The Son of Heaven is very focused on doing things!" ”

The Queen Mother asked lightly: "Father-in-law Ju is in a hurry, is there anything important?" ”

Ju Wenzhen snorted and said: "We got the news, the King of Jin claimed to have received the will of the Queen Mother, and came to King Bashu Qin, I want to know, when will the Queen Mother give him?" ”

Xu Shiqi, the old eunuch next to him, trembled, and his heart immediately hung in his throat.

The Queen Mother said unhurriedly: "The mourning family wants to make a decree for him to come to King Qin, does the princess think that the mourning family has this opportunity?" ”

Ju Wenzhen looked at the Queen Mother for a moment and said: "The Queen Mother means that Guo Song is falsely spreading the will of the Queen Mother?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "What happened outside, the mourning family doesn't know anything, but I haven't written any will." ”

"It seems that it is a false will, Guo Song has always been shameless, and it is not strange for him to do this kind of thing, but I want to remind the Queen Mother, don't do those things that shouldn't be done in a daze, no one will be able to save you when the time comes!"

The Queen Mother turned her head in disgust, "If there is nothing wrong with Father-in-law, please retire!" ”

Ju Wenzhen snorted heavily, he glanced at the palace maid who was playing with wood with the young emperor in confusion, and always felt that her figure was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it?

Now he was in a hurry to see Huo Xianming, so he didn't take the palace maid to heart, turned around and left.

The Queen Mother was trembling with anger, and these eunuchs were becoming more and more presumptuous.

The palace maid who accompanied the young emperor to play with wood slowly raised her head and stared at Ju Wenzhen's back, an imperceptible murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Pendulum..... Wood wood. ”

The young emperor Li Wen, who had never spoken, suddenly said a word to the palace maid.

.........

Ju Wenzhen hurried to the North Government Office at the other end of the palace and saw Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang.

"I've already confirmed, it shouldn't be the edict she wrote, besides, I monitor her very strictly, if she writes an edict, I will definitely know."

Huo Xianming shook his head, "It doesn't matter if she wrote it anymore, Guo Song announced to the outside world that he was ordered to be the king of Qin, and everyone in the world believed it, the question now is, what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do!"

Dou Wenchang interrupted Huo Xianming's words unhappily, and said angrily: "Either attack or retreat, stay in Yuzhou and wait for death!" ”

Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask Dou Weng, how did you attack?" Where to retreat and retreat? ”

Huo Xianming explained: "Dou Weng means that while Chengdu is empty now, we will send troops to recapture Chengdu, which is an attack, or we will abandon Bashu and move the capital to Jiangnan." ”

Ju Wenzhen gasped and sent troops to Chengdu, isn't this looking for death?

He hurriedly said: "Guo Song must send spies to keep an eye on us, as soon as our army moves, he will immediately find out that it is not realistic to send troops to Chengdu at all, besides, the Chengdu palace was burned by the Tubo people, what is the point of us returning to Chengdu?" ”

Dou Wenchang smiled gloomily, "So, Brother Ju agreed to move the capital to Jiangnan?" ”

Seeing the two of them staring at him like eagles, he suddenly understood that the counterattack on Chengdu was just their talk, and they had already decided to move the capital to Jiangnan.

Ju Wenzhen was a little dazed in her heart, "Moving the capital to Jiangnan, will Liu Qia and Han Yun agree?" ”

"This can't be done to them, as long as the Queen Mother gives an order, they have to obey, this is called coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, do you understand?"

Ju Wenzhen is really bitter in his heart, he has too many interests in Bashu, and he really doesn't want to leave, but if he doesn't leave, Guo Song won't spare him, it seems that they have no way out except to leave Bashu.

He had to sigh and say, "I have no opinion, let's decide!" ”

Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang glanced at each other, and said happily together: "Then it's decided, pack up the ship immediately, and set off for Jiangnan in three days!" ”

..........

Under the coercion of Ju Wenzhen, the queen mother had to make a decree, the situation in Bashu was unstable, and the imperial court decided to move the capital to Jiangnan and set off three days later.

When the news came out, the soldiers of the Shence Army were in an uproar.

Most of the Shence soldiers are Bashu people, and there are also some Guanzhong people, all of whom have their own families in Bashu or Guanzhong, and when they heard that they were going to move the capital to Jiangnan, all the soldiers were anxious.

The soldiers in the temporary barracks made a lot of noise and refused to follow the imperial court to Jiangnan.

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, more than 100 middle- and lower-level generals gathered together and asked Li Wanrong, the envoy of Jiedu, to give a clear explanation.

Li Wanrong is about 50 years old, burly, dignified, has been in the army for more than 30 years, and has a high prestige in the army.

Li Wanrong has deep qualifications, is not stubborn, and can accept the commander of the eunuchs, so Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang agreed that he should be appointed as the envoy of the Shence Army, but there are three envoys of the Shence Army, Li Wanrong is just one of them, in order to distinguish, everyone calls him the envoy of the East Jiedu, and the other two are Shen Quan, the envoy of the Middle Section, and Zhu Yao, the envoy of the West Jiedu.

Zhu Yao led 8,000 troops to surrender Guo Song in Jianmen County, and now there are only two Jiedu envoys in power, Li Wanrong and Shen Quan.

Li Wanrong walked out of the big tent, and the soldiers were suddenly excited.

"Jiedu envoy, we won't go to Jiangnan!"

"Our family is in Bashu, and we will never abandon our family and children!"

The roars of the crowd became louder and louder, and Li Wanrong waved his hand to silence everyone.

"I can understand everyone's feelings, don't be too anxious, say it's going to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, how can it be so easy, I estimate that Jiangnan will definitely not be able to go, at most stay in Jingnan."

"General, Jing Nan is also uprooted, we are gone, what should our family do?"

A general said angrily: "It was too much to leave our family in Jianzhou before, and now if you want us to leave Bashu, who can accept it?" General, this matter is not handled well, the army is going to mutiny! ”

Li Wanrong's face changed, and he reprimanded angrily: "General Liu, don't talk nonsense, beware of me using military law to deal with you!" ”

The general also knew that he had overspoken, so he had to bow his head and remain silent.

Li Wanrong glared at him fiercely, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, I understand everyone's feelings, I will definitely react to this matter, in addition, I know that I still owe you three months, and I also ask for the above to be reissued." Let's all go back! I'll write the report now. ”

Everyone could only go back after arguing for a long time, Li Wanrong returned to the big tent, and his eldest son Li Nai stepped forward and whispered: "Father, did you really decide to move the capital to Jiangnan?" ”

Li Wanrong sneered, "This group of eunuchs knew that the end was coming, so they didn't dare to stay in Bashu and moved the capital to Jiangnan, they thought they could escape the hands of Guo Song, and they could also escape the clutches of Ma Sui and Liu Qia." ”

"Father, the morale of the army is seriously shaken, and there will really be a large number of deserters."

"Deserters will definitely appear, but this is not important, what matters is our own interests, you think too much for others, or think about yourself!"

Li Nai was stunned, did his father also have an idea? He hesitated and asked, "Father means that we have other arrangements?" ”

Li Wanrong glanced at his son and said coldly: "You are not too young, you can't see through such an obvious situation?" ”

Li Nai was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The child is dull, I implore my father to teach me!" ”

Li Wanrong sighed, shook his head, and said, "Do you really think that Guo Song is here to resist the Tibetan army?" The invasion of Tibet gave him a good opportunity to go south, even if there was no invasion of Tibet, he would go south, "Tianxia Xinbao" has done enough public opinion for him, his banner must be to crusade against the eunuchs, the side of the Qing monarch, he has been waiting for this day for a long time, these eunuchs are chaotic and chaotic, kill the first emperor, poison the Tang Dynasty, the world has long allowed them, where can they flee to? Are we going to die for them? ”

"But after so many years of eunuch rebellion, he has always turned a blind eye." Li Nai said angrily.

Li Wanrong sneered, "The eunuch party ruined the Tang Dynasty for him, he couldn't ask for it, he was already the lord of Chang'an, did he still want to save the Tang Dynasty and be willing to be a minister?" Don't be naïve anymore. ”

Only then did Li Nai realize that he was too naïve to understand Guo Song's ambitions.

"Father, the child understands, so what should we do next?"

Li Wanrong pondered for a long time and said: "There is an opportunity in front of us, it depends on whether I can seize it?" ”
