Many people know that the Empress Dowager of Changxin Palace is not simple, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the edge has gradually become sharper, but they did not expect that she would be in trouble at this time, so that Yang Zhitang had no power to parry at all.

Zheng Yu originally had no major conflict with Yang Zhitang, but Yang Zhitang was full of thoughts at this time that if he continued to delay, he would only push Huangzhou and the Zheng family to a place where they could never recover, which he absolutely could not accept.

Zheng Yu was also stingy at this time, looked at Shen Yang, Yang En, and Du Chongtao and asked:

"Do you want to start a trial at this time, and fight with Liang Jun, Shen Yang, Yang Houye, Du Houye, you have to have an idea at this time!"

Zheng Yu didn't look at Zhang Chao, nor did he not think that Zhang Chao would oppose his opinion; And Zhang Chao did stand aside and looked at Shen Yang, Yang En, Du Chongtao and others quite slowly.

The situation is very clear, once Jingxiang is not defended, the two states of Langchen, which are located west of Dongting Cave, are sandwiched between Xuzhou and Jingxiang, and the ghost can know that Han Qian will inevitably send troops to capture Langzhou and Chenzhou next.

During the war of cutting the domain, the Zhang family led 5,000 township soldiers to surrender to the first emperor and was reused, which also destined that his Zhang family was never a tough main battle faction, even if Zhang Han was one of the most important generals of the guard army at this time.

They even hoped that the Mengwu people and the Eastern Liang army would beat Han Qian to the point that his head was broken and his bones were broken, and it was a bit of a joke to tell them to fight themselves.

Since the thirteenth year of Tianyou, is there a more fierce and dazzling figure in Da Chu than Han Qian?

Don't talk about Han Qian, Da Chu can now pick out a few generals who can compete with Li Zhihe, Wen Bo, and Li Xiu?

Yang En, Shen Yang, and Du Chongtao sighed in their hearts, seeing that the Empress Dowager Changxin was holding the hand of the new emperor, and she looked angry, and she didn't want to sit back behind the imperial case, so she said stubbornly: "If you don't deal with the reverse case, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Xian are under Jiuquan, and they will not die, and if Heluo falls into the hands of Hu Lu, it is not the blessing of Great Chu, and it is not a blessing for Great Chu to accept Liang Guo's claim of ministership and tribute, so that he can guard the northern frontier, or it is a blessing to ......"

"Zhu Qing has thought it clearly in his heart, is it not the mourning family persecuting you?" Qingyang asked.

"Think clearly, please give an edict to the Queen Mother." Shen Yang and others said.

"In addition to Zheng Chang leading the Yushitai Zhuqing to try and deal with the rebellion, Zheng Yu and Cai Chen are the ministers of peace, just listen to their reports if you have anything, don't interfere in this matter directly," Qingyang completely ignored Huang E's existence, and directly issued an edict without permission, seeing that Yang Zhitang opened his mouth to say something, he didn't give him a chance to speak, and said, "You don't want to explain anything to a woman from the mourning family, no one can stop you from entering the temple, you can explain it yourself before the tablets of the ancestors of the Yang family......

Yang Zhitang's old face turned red, because he was not very old, he didn't get angry on the spot, but at this time, he could only shout "The old minister leads the edict", but he was embarrassed and rushed to the temple to ask the dead man for his guilt.

…………

…………

Qingyang returned to the main hall of Changxin Palace, and his heart was indescribably dripping with joy and excitement after beating Yang Zhitang, but while he was dripping with joy, he felt a trace of tiredness that could not be hidden.

Seeing Bin'er, who had been sitting in Chongwen Hall for a long time, return to Changxin Palace, and fall asleep after reading a book in the wing hall for a while, Qingyang sighed lightly, walked to the bookcase and opened the secret compartment to take out the letter.

The letters are all meaningless characters, and when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, Qingyang turned his head and saw that it was Lei Cheng walking in, and said, "The words on your family are really ugly......"

Han Qian's words are lacking in some skills, and it is no wonder that some people said in the early years that he did not learn and did not have skills, Lei Cheng coughed in embarrassment and said:

"Although all the warships on Aoshan Island were burned, the 8,000 soldiers were only temporarily trapped on the island and were not annihilated. During the negotiations, the Empress Dowager could issue an edict to treat Zhou Dun and others for the crime of not defending the army, cut off these generals, and make Zheng Xingxuan transfer military attachés and generals from the guards to receive this soldier and horse, and officially incorporate them into the guards and pro-army sequence. However, before this matter, it is best for the Queen Mother to see Zheng Chang make the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory write a letter to impeach Shouwang Yang Zhitang many times to make peace with the Mengwu - to make the Zheng family and the Shouwang form a mortal enemy. ”

Yang Zhitang is deep-rooted, and impeachment may not be able to bring down the longevity king Yang Zhitang, not to mention that Shen Yang, Du Chongtao, and Yang En may not want Yang Zhitang to fall, but the remnants of the Aoshan Island army will be incorporated into the guards and pro-army to rebuild a naval force subordinate to the center, and Shen Yang, Du Chongtao, and Yang En will not refuse.

Of course, this is mainly to force the Zheng family and Shouwang Yang Zhitang to completely oppose each other, so that the Zheng family can no longer change the idea of peace talks.

Qingyang put away the letter, glanced at Lei Cheng, and asked, "Could it be that the Zheng family is also your people?" ”

Lei Cheng smiled and said, "If the Zheng family can be used by the king, how can things be so complicated?" ”

"That's true, but even if the Zheng family is threatened by you this time, they have to turn their heads to support the peace talks, but Huangzhou has always been under the threat of Huaixi, how can they be willing to form a mortal enmity with Yang Zhitang?" Qingyang frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "What other benefits did you secretly promise them?" ”

"Without the permission of the Queen Mother, I have not yet contacted the Zheng family, but the king agreed to disclose the real prescription for dispelling miasma." Lei Cheng said.

"So, the Right Dragon Bird Army marched south to Lingnan soldiers and horses, and since spring and summer, there have been as many as 3,000 people infected with the plague, is this news true?" Qingyang asked.

"It's true, dispelling miasma wine is the foundation for the monarch and the ancestor to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and the monarch wants to resume trade with Dachu, and if he doesn't show true sincerity, he will only embarrass the queen mother...... Lei Cheng said.

Qingyang knew that Zheng Jiatai needed a prescription for dispelling miasma, and Zheng Yu presided over the peace meeting, and he would inevitably mention it.

As long as it is a real prescription, even if it is open to the public, it is currently the Zheng family that benefits the most.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for Zheng Hui to keep the territory he currently occupies in Lingnan at this time, and if he withdraws to Yongzhou with a bunch of injuries and illnesses, it will have too much impact on the morale and morale of the army, and the follow-up garrison in Yongshao and other places will also face the retaliatory counterattack of the Qingyuan army.

Qingyang thought for a while, and then said: "The Zheng family has to lean towards peace at present, and Han Qian can come up with a prescription for miasma, but it can force the Zheng family and Yang Zhitang to break openly, but the whole thing is not something that the Zheng family can say

Count, Han Qian is far from enough to just take out this, right? ”

"Of course, before mid-July, peace talks will be reached, the two sides will reduce the border troops and horses, lift martial law and military mobilization, resume trade and trade, reduce or reduce taxes, and in addition to being a minister, the Liang can also import a total of 1 million yuan of ......materials every year, including cotton cloth and iron," Lei Cheng said.

"Tax reductions and exemptions, Shen Yang and Yang En won't agree to this, right?" Qingyang frowned and said.

"The state and county sales and city parking taxes and taxes are nominally under the jurisdiction of the salt and iron transshipment envoys, but in fact, in addition to the interception of local states and counties, the monopoly of local sect lords, and the filling of officials, how much can the center finally collect into its hands?" Lei Cheng said, "Now only the city parking tax and tax that are withheld by the local states and counties, the officials who fill their own pockets, and the local clan forces evade through various means, and the taxes that should actually be collected are concentrated in the hands of the Great Chu Center. In addition, Daliang must also buy salt from Jianghuai, and the salt profit of 1,000 yuan per stone can also be directly paid to the center. And if the Queen Mother really wants to ask Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Du Chongtao to point fingers, she can ask these tributes to be in charge of the Inner Chamberlain during the peace talks. Money and food is the key to authority, there is money and food to reward and punish crimes, only then can there be a lineage of cronies, only people and horses are available, otherwise, even the inner chamberlain set up a prison, you have to borrow prison officers and torturers from Yushitai and Dali Temple, how can the queen mother ask the following generals to obey orders, instead of yang and yin? ”

"The mourning family knows, everything depends on how Zheng Yu and Cai Chen talk about it." Qingyang said.

"Of course, the old slave only informed the queen mother of the king's thoughts in advance,......" Lei Cheng said.

…………

…………

Since it was decided to negotiate peace, then Han Wenhuan, Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou, Feng Yi and others are no longer rebel prisoners, but Liang envoys, and Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng can no longer be detained in the Inner Servant Prison.

Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng returned to Lanting Lane at night, and the house had been jumping for several days.

Although Xu and other dependents and servants were not arrested and put in the inner servant's prison, they were also ordered to live in the house and not to enter, and there were guards in Jingzhao Mansion staring at the left and right at all times. Even if he took out a few soft things to bribe the yacha, he would not respond to the letter to the palace, and when he heard that the Han Mansion was even more arrested, it made the Xu family and other female relatives panic and didn't know what to do.

finally got Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng to put them back, and the female relatives in the courtyard were crying again and again.

The soldiers outside withdrew, and Wang Wenqian was just about to tell his family to buy two pots of wine and come back, but he heard the sound of chariots and horses coming from the alleyway.

Xu Shi was like a frightened bird, hearing the dense sound of horses' hooves stopping outside the house, and his face instantly turned pale.

After a while, the family guarding the door of the house came in and said: "Chen Yuanchen, the eldest son of Chen Shilang, came with someone to ask to see ......"

Chen Jingzhou, as a squire of the military department, has his own dignity, not only did he not withdraw to the north shore in advance, but even his two sons and his family have always stayed in Jinling City, first suffered house arrest, and after the Tangyi Navy attacked Aoshan Island, in addition to the slaves and servants continued to be under house arrest, more than 20 sons and nephews of his family were also imprisoned in the inner servant's prison.

Wang Wenqian thought that even if Han Daoming and Chen Jingzhou were released, they might have to wait a little longer to get here, but he didn't expect to call Chen Yuanchen over so soon.

Chen Jingzhou had four sons, the eldest son died on the battlefield, the second son died before he grew up, Chen Yuanchen was his third son, and he had already married a wife and had children, at the age of more than 25.

After Chen Jingzhou no longer led the troops, Chen Yuanchen also followed the first to Guangde Mansion as an official, and then transferred back to the military department as an official, only Chen Jingzhou's youngest son Chen Jixian, has been living with his relatives in the old house of Chenjiazhai in Canglang County, or Canglang City crisis, the cottage forces were expelled from Junzhou, most of the people in Chenjiazhai moved to Guangzhou, Huozhou to settle down, Chen Jingzhou took all the family members to Jinling City.

Wang Wenqian invited Chen Yuanchen in with his family, and Chen Yuanchen rushed to Lanting Lane as soon as he came out of the Inner Servant's Mansion, it was indeed Han Daoming's instructions, hoping to take Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng to Han's Mansion now:

"Yang Zhitang today in the Chongwen Hall lost his words and wanted to make peace with the Eastern Liang army, so that Yang Yuanyan could lead his troops to attack Chuzhou, and was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Changxin, and finally Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, Zhang Chao, Yang En and other ministers decided to open peace talks with Daliang, but things are still twists and turns, and some people will jump over the wall in a hurry, using the next means, and ask Lord Wang and General Yin to move to Hanfu tonight. My father consulted with the elder and thought that before the formal peace talks, he would try to send everyone except the envoys to the north shore. ”

Regardless of Han Qian's letter, he did not mention the disposition of Wang Wenqian, Yin Peng and others, but Han Wenhuan did not mention it, Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou and Feng Yi could not sit back and watch more than a dozen people on Wang Wenqian's side fall into danger - Wang Wenqian is the biological father of Wang Jun, the concubine of Daliang after all, and Wang Yuan, Wang Zhe, Wang Yan, Wang Ji, Huo Li, Huo Xiao and others are also in important positions in Daliang one after another.

Wang Wenqian also didn't know what Yang Yuanyan's reaction would be when the news of the peace talks reached Chuzhou, and he didn't know what the situation was like when the Empress Dowager Changxin reprimanded Yang Zhitang, but he knew that this was not the time to pretend to be high.

There were not too many soft things in the house, and the slaves and servants who were willing to follow them to the north shore were also taken with them, and the slaves and servants who could not leave their homeland also returned their deeds, took out their little possessions and distributed them among them, and handed them over to their relatives and friends, so that they would not be left behind.

Hastily cleaned up, and more than a dozen members of Yin Peng's family, rushed to Han Mansion on a moonlit night to meet Han Wenhuan, Han Daoming, and Chen Jingzhou first.

Although the peace talks were officially launched, the number of soldiers on the outskirts of the Han Mansion has not decreased, and there are even two teams of elite soldiers in heavy armor patrolling the left and right alleys in the middle of the night, but nominally they have changed from "guarding" to "protecting".

Chen Yuanchen led people to Lanting Lane to meet them, and was accompanied by a team of soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion, but at least they were no longer forbidden to enter and leave the Han Mansion as before.

The ebony gate of Hanfu, illuminated by the dim light of the two bright corner lamps, the cooked copper nails that show the noble identity of the owner of the house are extraordinarily deep.

Chen Yuanchen stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the ebony welcome door was not opened, the side door creaked open, and a young general wearing armor and about twenty-three or four-year-old walked out.

Wang Wenqian recognized this person as Han

Qian first came to Lanting Lane, and recruited a child of a family soldier from the homeless people, named Lu Ze, was one of the youngest among the children of that group of family soldiers, and his name was not as loud as Zhao Wuji, Guo Ke, Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer, He Liufeng and others, but in the past few years, Lu Ze was responsible for the internal security forces of the Han government in Jinling, and Wang Wenqian guessed that Tangyi was the core figure of the secretary in Jinling.

After Han Qianchan succeeded the lord of the Great Liang State, the armor and swords of more than 100 military generals of the Han Mansion were confiscated, and after the attack on Aoshan Island, Lu Ze was also detained along with Feng Yi and others.

At this time, seeing Lu Ze walking out of the Han Mansion wearing armor and holding a sword and bow at his waist, Wang Wenqian could also confirm that Liang Chu had really started peace talks.

Returning the armor and making Lu Ze guard the mansion with a sword and bow is equivalent to recognizing the status of the Han Mansion as the embassy of the Great Liang State - this principle was still settled when Han Qian sent an envoy to Shu to facilitate the Shu and Chu peace talks.

Looking at the courtyard through the side door, the light was very weak, obviously darker, Wang Wenqian stared at the threshold, and felt very deep emotion in his heart, and he also knew that when he stepped forward, he would no longer be a great Chu minister......

…………

…………

Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng walked to Mingju Hall with Lu Ze and Chen Yuanchen, and saw Han Wenhuan, Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou, Yun Puzi, Feng Yi, Wen Ruilin and others sitting in front of the hall.

"Wen Qian is also tired this time!"

Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou and others stood up to greet each other, no matter what kind of grievances and grievances were entangled in the past, but from now on, they will not talk to each other; Han Wenhuan also smiled and motioned for Wang Wenqian to sit beside him and speak.

"It's just a little frightened." Wang Wenqian said.

Although Wang Wenqian made up his mind to settle in Liyang after crossing the river, and did not have the intention of going to Luoyang with everyone, he still cared about the situation in Heluo in his heart, and at the same time he also hoped that Yin Peng could have a good way out.

When he decided to send troops to destroy the water village on Aoshan Island, he considered that Han Wenhuan and others, who lived under surveillance, would be detained, but Wen Ruilin secretly lurked in advance in order to bypass the surveillance of the Chu army and continue to stay in Jinling to preside over the work of the secretary.

It was also Han Wenhuan and others who were sent out from the Inner Servant's Mansion Prison, and Wen Ruilin walked into the Han Mansion again.

At this time, Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng moved into the Han Mansion with their families, and since then they are no longer foreigners, and Wen Ruilin is also patient, and will talk about the changes in the situation between the two sides of the strait in the past few days, as well as the specific situation of the dispute between Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Yang En, and others in the Chongwen Palace today:

"Zhou Dun was cowardly, and ordered all the warships to shrink back to Aoshan Island Shuizhai as soon as possible, we can say that the soldiers were bloodless, so they destroyed more than 200 warships of all sizes on Aoshan Island, and burned half of Yang Zhitang's belongings accumulated in the navy in the past few years - these days are to use warships to blockade the eight thousand remnants of the Youlongwu Army on Aoshan Island, because the barracks and warehouses of Shuizhai have been burned, it is expected that the first step of the peace talks, they will ask us to release the eight thousand remnants, and we can take the opportunity to ask the boss to take the old man to the north shore first......"

Wen Ruilin, Han Wenhuan and others were aware of the situation of the court discussion at any time, which undoubtedly showed that they still had extremely reliable hidden stake eyeliner at the highest level of the Chu court, Wang Wenqian was not surprised by this, and the Zheng family's attitude changed before and after, which was even more unexpected to him.

In the final analysis, since Emperor Tianyou founded the Chu State in Jianghuai, he has not been able to fundamentally solve the opposition and conflict of interests between different groups within the country, and since the palace change last year, the two most elite combat clusters of the Xiangbei Army and the Tangyi Army have successively separated from the Chu State. It's no wonder that Yang Zhitang didn't dare to take out the Right Dragon Martial Army and fight hard.

Of course, the Empress Dowager Changxin's fierce attack on Yang Zhitang today surprised Wang Wenqian, but he didn't know if Han Qian had secretly reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Empress Dowager Changxin, but since he decided to run a family academy in Liyang after crossing the river to spend the rest of his life, such confidential matters are really not appropriate to intervene.

After a night's rest, Zheng Yu and Cai Chen walked into the Han Mansion the next morning by edict to officially start the process of autumn talks on behalf of Da Chu, but before Zheng Yu and Cai Chen put forward conditions, Han Daoming first asked Han Wenhuan, Yun Puzi, Chen Jingzhou, Wang Wenqian and others to send their families to the north bank, instead of continuing to be detained in Jinling as hostages, and the matter of peace talks could be left in Jinling by him and Feng Yi, Wen Ruilin and others on behalf of Liang Guo.

The 90,000 soldiers and horses of the recruiting army were stationed with Xiangfan Ying, and the situation seemed to be not tense at this time.

However, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Liang army were assembled in Dengzhou (Nanyang Basin), and in addition to Aoshan Island, the Tangyi naval army also officially occupied several sandbanks in the Yangtze River in the north of Ezhou, cutting off the connection between Fuzhou and Ezhou and Yuezhou.

If in July and August, the Liang army and Li Zhihe's troops continued to intensify their military pressure on Xiangfan, and the grain from Jiangxi and Hunan could not be transported north across the river for a long time, the situation of recruiting troops would inevitably become grim.

At the beginning of March, if you make up your mind to use troops, Zheng Hui and the Right Dragon Bird Army can withdraw from Lingnan in time at that time, delay at this time, the epidemic in the Right Dragon Bird military camp has increased greatly, not to mention, the weather in Yonggui Liuqin Prefecture is extremely hot, the river is surging, the road is ruined, and the road is ruined, and if you want to withdraw, how can Zheng Yu want to see Huangzhou involved in the war at this time?

In the face of Han Daoming's request, he returned to Shangshu Province in the afternoon to make every effort, and finally decided to let Han Wenhuan, Yun Puzi, Chen Jingzhou, Wang Wenqian, and others cross the river to the north bank.

On 11 June, more than 200 people from Han Wenhuan, Yun Puzi, Chen Jingzhou, Wang Wenqian, and Jia Xiao and Hu Cong boarded a sailing ship sent by Zhao Wuji to the south bank from the Jinghaimen Guanchuan Wharf, and slowly headed for Tangyi City, where they first met with Zhao Wuji, Guo Duanduo, Zhao Qi, and others.

They could see that at this time, there were still more than 20 warships of the Tangyi Navy, and the deck was full of armor soldiers, stationed in the river west of Aoshan Island.

After Han Wenhuan, Yun Puzi, Chen Jingzhou and others arrived on the north shore, they met with Zhao Wuji and them, rested for two days, and then embarked on the road north to Luoyang.

Wang Wenqian decided to take the Xu family to Liyang to settle down this time.

Although Yin Peng has the heart to be a leader, he also has his own dignity, without Han Qian's formal edict invitation, he can't go directly to Luoyang with Han Wenhuan and them to seek officials, of course, he also went to Liyang with Wang Wenqian first......
