Chapter 295: The Lost Pillars of the Country

It's not good if people are too smart, Zhao Yu easily cracked this shocking 'conspiracy', which also made him confused. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you don't find out who is behind the scenes, things may get worse. But if the lid is lifted, will you arrest these 'well-wishers', or remove them from their posts and investigate them? Obviously not suitable. Therefore, he could only adopt passive confrontation, reduce the chances of leaving the house and being exposed, and secretly sent spies from the bureau to arrest several small leaders, intending to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to make them understand what he meant, and stop making trouble behind his back. But in any case, he has been pushed to the forefront of history.

After entering February, Zhao ordered the navy to increase the patrol density of the strait and expel all ships close to the Qiongzhou military port. Conduct reconnaissance of enemy forces in Qinzhou and Lianzhou in an all-round way to prepare for the attack and disturbance war. At the same time, the infantry cavalry unit also entered spring training, focusing on anti-landing combat training and island-wide maneuver drills, so that the enemy troops could land at a certain place and quickly concentrate their forces for a counterattack while holding on. Since Xingchao had no intention of settling in Qiongzhou, he used all the baggage troops to expand the new city for the reconstruction of post roads and military stations, and strived to complete it before the rainy season arrived.

And Chen Yizhong, who had been to Zhancheng for more than a month, still showed no sign of returning, and the news that came showed that as Zhao Yu had expected, Zhancheng was not interested in the plan to come to the dynasty, and he was also very cold to the prime minister of the suzerain, not to mention sending troops to help, which made Chen Yi's center who went to Zhancheng with confidence to be lazy. The good news was that Wang Daofu and Ling Zhen, who broke through after the fall of Guangzhou, took advantage of Liu Shen's disastrous defeat to launch a counteroffensive and recapture the city, which temporarily saved the Xing dynasty from being flanked by the enemy.

However, the good times did not last long, and Ali Hague, the political minister of Pingzhang in Guangxi Province of the Yuan Dynasty, suddenly sent troops to attack Leizhou, and Zeng Yuanzi was defeated and lost Leizhou. To add insult to injury, the fleet of the dynasty that was wandering in the waters of Leizhou and waiting for Chen Yizhong was suddenly hit by a strong wind and the emperor fell into the water, Jiang Wanzai struggled to rescue His Majesty, but he was swept away by the waves and disappeared. The flotilla also suffered heavy losses, being destroyed by the Storm Runners, and the flotilla was forced to turn to the island of Ki Chau to land for shelter......

"Now Ali Hague has taken over all the prefectures and counties on the South Guangxi Road, and the straits are confronting us. The imperial court suffered heavy losses from the hurricane, and the palace marshal was killed and took refuge on Qizhou Island. What should you think? The situation suddenly deteriorated, Zhao Yu convened the officials in the palace to discuss the matter, and he reported the situation straight to the point.

"Your Highness, the lower official wants to go to Jizhou Island to collect the bones of his uncle, move the coffin to his hometown, and worry about Shi Ding, and hope that His Highness will give permission." Jiang Xuan stood up and said hoarsely, and handed over the paperwork.

"Sir, the palace marshal was killed, and this king is also very sad. It is normal for you to go to pay tribute to your loved ones, and this king also wants to go to the court to mourn together. After receiving the news, Zhao Hao informed Jiang Xuan as soon as possible, and now he can't refuse seeing his grief-stricken appearance, but he still put the paperwork aside and persuaded, "But to Shi Ding's worries, Mr. Please think twice, now that the state affairs are difficult, it is the time to employ people, and Jiangnan has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is indeed not the time to return to the hometown and guard filial piety." Why don't you wait for the day of revival and then ask the soul of the palace marshal to return to his hometown and bury him. ”

"Your Highness, the situation is tense and complicated, Qiongzhou still needs His Highness to preside, and the officials can go to Jizhou Island alone." Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment and said.

"What Jiang Zhuan Envoy said is reasonable, and His Highness must not leave lightly." Ying Jieyan took over and said, "The palace marshal sacrificed his life to promise the country with great righteousness, and now he is martyred to save His Majesty, he definitely does not want to see his own children abandon the state affairs for him and guard the tomb for him, so listen to His Highness!" ”

"The palace marshal was martyred, the country lost its pillars, the heavens and the earth mourned together, and Lord Jiang also asked for condolences. But since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, adults should still focus on national affairs, and I think the spirit of the palace marshal in the sky will also be very gratified. Deng Guangjian sighed and said.

"Lord Jiang, the Qiongzhou War is imminent, and the affairs in the house are complicated, so please mourn your birthday." Gao Yingsong also persuaded.

"Thank you, Zongbao has been by my uncle's side since he was a child, treating him as if he were his own, and teaching him wholeheartedly. I failed to fulfill my filial piety in front of me, and I was already full of guilt, so I could only burn incense and clean up in front of the grave. Jiang Xuan saluted everyone.

"This king still asks the gentleman to think more. The palace marshal is the talent of the country, and the king is also favored, so the king needs to go to worship tomorrow! Zhao Yu knew that the ancients had a lot of etiquette, even if they wanted to stay, they had to resign again and again to show their filial piety, and they had to keep it again and again to show their importance, and finally ordered that Ding was not allowed to worry about things in order to comply with the rules. But it is not too late to go to the court to mourn, and it is just right to see the reaction of the court, and of course, it is mainly to see if the little emperor is frightened to the point of illness as recorded in history.

However, for Jiang Wanzai's death, Zhao Hao is still very sorry. When he left Jiazi Town, he secretly told Jiang Wanzai that he had dreamed that he had fallen into the water in the storm and was swept away by the wind and waves, so he should never go out of the cabin in the storm, and arranged for a personal guard who is good at water to accompany him at all times to avoid accidents. But it still failed to stop the rolling wheel of history, which made Zhao Yu also feel frustrated and doubted whether he could really shake history.

What makes Zhao Yu even more uneasy is that now Chen Yizhong has broken the three-legged situation of the DPRK and China, but Jiang Wanzai is highly respected and trusted by the Queen Mother, and Zhang Shijie still has to take into account his attitude. Now that Jiang Wanzai is dead, he has completely lost his checks and balances, and the DPRK and China are the only ones who dominate it. And Zhang Shijie is a pure martial artist, lacking the ability to coordinate the overall situation and the experience of handling political affairs, if he acts arbitrarily, he does not know where he will take the court.

"Your Highness must not go, now that our Shuai Mansion and the Imperial Court have become enemies, if you go, I don't know what will happen!" Zhao Mengjin heard that His Royal Highness insisted on going to the urgent road. He didn't want those literati to speak around the bush, hint at you by knocking on the side, and clenching their fists for people to guess, but bluntly said that the contradictions between the marshal mansion and the imperial court were difficult to reconcile.

"What Zhao Dutong said is that those people have coveted our Shuaifu for a long time, and they can still restrain themselves when there is a palace marshal, and now if His Highness takes the risk to go, it is tantamount to throwing himself into a net!" Yoo so was also resolutely opposed.

"Your Highness, the old man thinks that what the two of them said is reasonable, although Chen Xiang is not in the court, there are still people who are hostile to our marshal's mansion, and we must not rush forward. As for the matter of the palace marshal, our marshal's government can send a condolence mission to go on behalf of His Royal Highness, and set up a mourning hall in Qiongzhou to pay respects, so as to express sorrow and avoid entering a crisis. Ying Jieyan has a very close personal relationship with Jiang Wanzai, and now he is also very sad about his unexpected death, but he also knows that the situation in the DPRK and China will be even more chaotic after Jiang Wanzai's death......
