Chapter Seventy-Six: The Anthill of the Great Embankment

Lan Ziyi returned to the palace, his face was gloomy, and everyone he saw on the road looked unhappy, why was everything aimed at him? How did my admiration for the elegance of the capital become a rotten life? And let a dead eunuch teach himself a lesson. Obviously he is so talented but he has not been reused by others, and only the friends of the poetry club can understand him.

But if that's the case, why did Lan Ziyi leave when the Tao brothers came to pick him up last night? Why did he sit there and always couldn't face the Tao brothers? Why does he always feel as if he has leaked the emptiness in his heart when he plays with the people of the poetry club?

Thinking about these things, Lan Ziyi returned to Luyuan, and Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo's father and son were already waiting at the door.

Lan Ziyi just waved his hand when he saw it, signaling that the two could go back.

However, Qiu Xiaozhi didn't just go back, but followed Lan Ziyi and said:

"It's been half a month since Wei Hou left home, Wen Ruo and I are so anxious, waiting for Wei Hou to come back every day."

Qiu Wenruo looked back behind Lan Ziyi, and then asked:

"Wei Hou, what about the Tao brothers? Didn't they go out and look for you? ”

Lan Ziyi replied:

"It was the three of them who pulled me out of the poetry club."

Qiu Wenruo saw Lan Ziyi's face gloomy and said:

"I heard that the Tao brothers and Wei Hou have played together since childhood, and they are more like brothers than brothers. In the two days when Wei Hou just left, everyone didn't know your whereabouts, and the three brothers went out to find you overnight, and finally went into the palace to find Yu Gonggong to help them know Wei Hou's whereabouts. ”

Lan Ziyi was slightly puzzled, he didn't go to the Poetry Society secretly, how could he lose his whereabouts, and he had to be found out by Taichengwei. Unless the people of the poetry society deliberately hide themselves, but how is this possible?

Qiu Wenruo continued:

"Although Wen Ruo and his father are also worried about Wei Hou, they are still ashamed to see the Tao brothers working hard for Wei Hou, and I can feel that they are a family with Wei Hou. Recently, Wei Hou has been quite estranged from their brothers, and I heard that the young master of the tiger is still depressed for this, and he is nostalgic for fireworks and willow lanes to eliminate his sorrows. Although I am just a small clerk under Wei Hou, I still want to say that the Tao brothers are loyal, intelligent and courageous, and they are Wei Hou's good helpers, good brothers, Wei Hou should not break off his friendship with his brother for a little thing. The relationship between Yiwei Hou and the three brothers can be resolved no matter what happens, so why bother to cut off their siblings? β€œ

Lan Ziyi had quarreled with the Tao brothers just now, and now he should have been furious when he heard Qiu Wenruo's words, but he was extremely calm in his heart, and he couldn't get angry. Maybe Lan Ziyi also felt guilty in his heart.

So Lan Ziyi said:

"I see, I'll take care of this. Wen Ruo, you have been very close to the three brothers of the Tao family recently, and you know so many things. ”

Qiu Wenruo stopped talking when he heard Lan Ziyi say this, and pushed back.

At this time, the three of them had already entered the hall, and after Lan Ziyi entered the house, he felt as if something was missing, and asked:

"Has anyone moved in the house?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"The day Wei Hou left, the Tao brothers moved to other houses."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi lowered his head and pondered for a while, but did not speak.

Then Lan Ziyi asked:

"Is there anything else going on with Mr. Takano? I want to rest and rest when I don't have anything to do, I'm too tired these days. ”

Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo heard Lan Ziyi's eviction order, and glanced at each other, their faces full of surprise.

In fact, Lan Ziyi was even more surprised when he saw the expressions of the Qiu family's father and son, shouldn't he sleep now? What urgent things do this father and son have to say?

Qiu Xiao opened his mouth and said:

"Wei Hou hasn't seen Grandpa Yu yet?"

Lan Ziyi frowned, wondering why Qiu Xiaozhi would know about seeing Father-in-law Yu. So he asked:

"I went to see it, and I just came out of the palace. How did the sir know about this. ”

Qiu Xiaozhi looked at Lan Ziyi for a while, and it wasn't until Lan Ziyi felt furious that Qiu Xiaozhi asked:

"Doesn't Wei Hou know about the next army?"

Although Lan Ziyi couldn't understand what he was saying, he knew that something big must have happened, so he extended the father and son of the enemy family into the seat, sat down and asked:

"What afterlife? Ziyi hasn't heard these news at all in the past few days. ”

Qiu Xiaozhi changed eyes with Qiu Wenruo again, and said:

"Wei Hou still remembers that at dinner the night before you went out, Tao Zhulu mentioned that someone was making trouble in Lingling."

Lan Ziyi thought about it carefully, as if there was really such a thing, and said:

"It seems that there is a madman who claims to be the second son of the true god and gathers a crowd to make trouble?"

Qiu Xiaozhi nodded and said:

"It is said that this thief failed the imperial examination in a row, and fell seriously ill at home, and after he recovered from his illness, he claimed to have seen the Venerable Reincarnation in a dream, and learned the immortal arts, which could descend to the spirit and scatter beans into soldiers. I have been wandering around the countryside of Lingling before, drawing talismans for people to cure diseases, and exorcizing ghosts, and there are many disciples. Now it is just in time for Zhang Mingyue's tax reform, measuring land and verifying the population across the country, and the people of Lingling are quite complaining. The thief took the opportunity to deceive people, threatening that the imperial court would move the people outside the northern border to make room for surrender. He also claimed that he had the ability to change his life against the sky, as long as he died with him, he would be able to get rid of the sea of suffering and no longer suffer from reincarnation. β€œ

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, although this god stick was full of nonsense, but the matter about immigration was not groundless. Actually attaches so much importance to a country god stick and digs up so much news, it can be seen that this product has set off a lot of storms, so Lan Ziyi asked:

"How bad is it?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"This thief called the court officials a demon, after the uprising, such as into a no-man's land, all the way to the state capital and county, every place will confiscate the property of the local rich households, burn the temple and the official mansion, slaughter the officials and monks, demagogue with witchcraft, and send people to coerce the local good people to join the gang, but also divide the treasury money and grain to win the hearts of the people, now this thief claims to be the king of the world, and his subordinates claim to have 400,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and have gone north to enter the city of Jiangling."

Lan Ziyi frowned when he listened, the situation was much worse than he imagined, Jiangling is located in the upper reaches of the river, to the north can cross the river into the territory of the river, and to the west can go up the Shuo River into Tianfu Road, the most terrible thing is to go down the river to threaten the capital, if the rebels really do that, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will shake the country.

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why don't you send troops in?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"After the establishment of the Taizheng Dynasty, the south was stable, and the southern army was unfavorable in the previous times when the Mao people were cleared, more than ten years ago the Mao people were found out that the last combat power of the southern army wolf soldiers was bought, so it was abolished after the war, and now the Nanzhen soldiers have existed in name only; The Western Army also went downhill after the mountain people were beaten without a trace, and now all that remains is some empty shelves, which cannot fight at all. The Northern Army and the Eastern Army were too far away to catch up for a while. To put it bluntly, the rebels moved too fast, too unexpectedly, and they were not given time for the imperial court to consider. β€œ

Lan Ziyi thought about it, he didn't take it seriously when he heard the news, thinking that it was just a few thieves making trouble, and the local government could send a few officials to deal with it, but now he actually made this mess.

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"What about the Forbidden Army? Isn't the Praetorian Army stationed throughout the country? ”

Qiu Xiaozhi said again:

"Although the forbidden army is nominally stationed in the whole country, there were Daoyi pirates in the east and invasions in the north, and there was no war there, so they all transferred troops to these two directions to provide support to the front line. It hasn't been transferred back yet. There was a forbidden army near the old capital, and the military headquarters had ordered this army to move to the north bank of the river. ”

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why does Sir even know about the movement of troops?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Because I have always cared about the affairs of the world, and more importantly, because the emperor decided to send King De on the expedition."

Hearing the words "King De Goes on the Expedition", Lan Ziyi felt that the acid reflux in his stomach was about to vomit.

Last time, Ji Tian made him look like that, and now he still wants to let him go on the expedition, it's really a big joke in the world, what does the emperor think? Having said that, it was precisely because of the mess that King De made last time that he had to find a way to save face for King De, it seems that the emperor really loves King De and wants to try to help him to the throne.

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi felt deeply puzzled, why is there no such news in the poetry club? Something so big happened, the poetry club is still in the snow moon and the wind flowers? Could this be the romance of the capital?

Lan Ziyi eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart and asked:

"Let the king of Germany go on the expedition? All right. So, the lords of the DPRK and China readily agreed? ”

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Of course not. But this time, King De went to Zhang Mingyue to support it. ”

Lan Ziyi listened as if he was listening to a joke, and said with a smile:

"Who agrees with me to believe that he Zhang Mingyue supports King De's expedition? Are you kidding? ”

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"Since there has been a rebellion in Lingling, there have been many people in the DPRK and China who impeached Zhang Mingyue. Originally, he forced tax rebates and reformed to make many people dissatisfied, but now the rebels are making trouble because of measuring the land and verifying the population, and those who see him unhappy can be regarded as finding an excuse and writing impeachment one after another. Now that the rebels have occupied Jiangling City, Zhang Mingyue's situation can be imagined. But he is still in the position of a scholar of the first assistant university, which is not just explained by luck. ”

兰子义 says:

"Let me think about it, the minister of the DPRK and China impeached him, and the reason is sufficient, it stands to reason that Zhang Mingyue has only one way to resign this time, if he wants to avoid it, he has to rely on external forces, and the only person who can help him reject the impeachment is the iron rod that supports King De, otherwise it will not be exchanged for Zhang Mingyue's support for King De. Thinking about it this way, there is only one person in the world. β€œ

Qiu Xiaozhi nodded and said:

"It's Grandpa Long."

兰子义 says:

"Actually, I'm talking about the emperor."

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaozhi smiled.

Lan Ziyi went on to say:

"Even if King De's expedition is the best result, King De is like that, as long as he is not blind, he knows that there will be a problem. What should I do if I lose? ”

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"This is also the reason why Father-in-law Yu wants to find the Marquis of Wei, and the emperor issued a decree to select Father-in-law Yu as a supervisor."
