On the sweltering long street, the night was dark, Yin Peng rode a horse, and beside the car where Wang Wenqian was sitting, he couldn't help but complain:

"My lord was on the top of the main hall just now, why did he still talk so much; If Tangyi knows about this, wouldn't it make it difficult for Miss to be a person? ”

"Huaidong's cutting of the feudal domain is already an inevitable move, Ruan Yan realizes this, His Royal Highness is just unwilling; And if I don't speak today, let Ruan Yan's old thief crowd up, and bring all the resentment of His Highness to me, it will be even worse. Wang Wenqian laughed.

Yin Peng thought about it, even if he wanted Tangyi to think about it, but he had to protect themselves first, thinking that Han Qian and Miss should be able to understand their situation, and thinking carefully about the many details of the palace changes that Zhang Xian said after coming over, he said: "Tangyi's response speed is really fast, even if we say something inappropriate, at least the impact on Tangyi in a short period of time will not be particularly great." If there are hidden dangers, it will be a matter of the future, and now we can only take one step at a time......"

"Do you still think that Lu Qingxia launched the palace change first, and Tangyi's manpower strain in Jinling all these years is the last?" Wang Wenqian smiled and asked.

"Isn't that what happened?" Yin Peng asked in shock, "My lord thinks that Miss and Han Qian have a premeditated plan?" ”

"Lu Qingxia launched a palace mutiny, there was chaos in the imperial city, the guards of the Nine Gates were on guard against each other, how many people did Tangyi have to lurk in Gyeonggi over the years, and who had to be in charge to snatch the initiative from Lu Qingxia and Wang Chan'er?" Wang Wenqian shook his head and said, "When Han Qian asked for the prince of the marquis, he was waiting for this palace change, and the initiative was actually under Han Qian's control all along!" ”

"......" Yin Peng asked in disbelief, "How is it possible?" The son of Mrs. Han Qian Liting is Hou Shizi, which has nothing to do with Lu Qingxia, and Lu Qingxia's palace change should be beyond everyone's expectations......"

"Everyone was surprised, because they couldn't figure out why Lu Qingxia would make a move at this time, but if you think about Lu Qingxia's success in launching the palace change, what kind of situation will it cause? Not to mention anything else for the time being, is the matter of Han Qian sending troops to Hehuai completely yellow? Wang Wenqian asked.

Yin Peng grabbed the reins and fell into deep thought.

Wang Wenqian said: "Think about it, at this time, who is most afraid of the elite of the Tangyi army going north? ”

"It stands to reason that Xu Mingzhen is most afraid of the Tangyi army going north, after all, the Tangyi army is going north, and the first thing is to fight Xu Mingzhen. And if Han Qian doesn't beat Xu Mingzhen, Hehuai will always be in a stagnant," Yin Peng said, "But Xu Mingzhen shouldn't have the ability to influence Lu Qingxia?" ”

Wang Wenqian said: "Except for Xu Mingzhen, those who are really afraid of Tangyi's full involvement in the Hehuai war at this time are actually the Mughu. After all, the Tangyi army went north at this time, and it was still possible to sabotage their plan to completely eliminate Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang, so that the Liang army could be relieved. Although there are still many things that we don't know, judging from the current situation, only the Shenling Division and the Northern Fugitive Clan, who have joined Mengwu, have the ability and means to make Lu Qingxia launch the palace rebellion so hastily and abnormally. And before Zhou Yuan and Yao Xishui went to Chuzhou, openly and secretly, didn't they just want to instigate Huaidong to drag Tangyi's hind legs with them? Han Qian was indeed in a predicament of being in a hurry to send troops to Hehuai but couldn't ignore the worries behind him, and at this moment, think about it, is the situation completely favorable for Han Qian to send troops to Hehuai? And let Lu Qingxia and them flee west from the waterway, Han Qian shouldn't want to see Li Zhihe and Chai Jian have no way out, so in the end they can only jump over the wall to join the Mengwu people. Otherwise, could it be that Han Qian only thought of intercepting Lu Qingxia from the downstream, but did not think of intercepting from the upstream? ”

"......" Yin Peng was stunned for a long time, speechless.

Wang Wenqian said: "The suggestions I made just now may prompt Huaidong to reconcile with the imperial court in the future and form a situation of jointly suppressing Tangyi, but at least for now, it can make Han Qian send troops to Hehuai without worries." As for the canonization of the emperor's younger brother, in fact, the new emperor is only six years old, and it is impossible to have children in a big marriage within ten years, and the third prince Yang Ye is naturally the first heir to the throne within ten years......

"My lord is saying that the queen mother is isolated and can only find a balance between the family clan that reconciled with Huaidong and the Tangyi domain?" Yin Peng came to his senses a little and said, "What the adults just said is actually beneficial to Han Qian and Miss?" ”

"I say it or not, it may not make any difference to Tangyi, Shen Yang and His Royal Highness will also come back to their senses in the future, but Han Qian and? I won't think that I won't be able to see through their layout at this time," Wang Wenqian said with a slight smile, "Of course, if Your Highness can really be as good as a stream, it will still be of some benefit to the Wang family." If this matter is over, I will resign from my official position and find a place with green mountains and clear waters to set up a academy, where are you going to go? ”

"......" Yin Peng patted his head and said, "I just thought that Miss would complain about adults when she knew about today's events, but I didn't think of this stubble!" If an adult wants to run an academy when he goes to the official, Yin Peng naturally runs errands for the adult before and after the saddle. ”

The Wang clan moved into Yangzhou in the later period of the Jinling Rebellion, and as long as the Huaidong Domain was not cut for a day, then they would be Huaidong's vassal subjects for one day.

When Huaidong cut the domain, the governance of Huaidong prefectures and counties returned to the court, and the state and county officials had to accept the appointment of Jinling, Wang Yuan and other Wang children in Huaidong were mainly clerical officials, and no one served in the army.

This also means that the Wang family has actually been disintegrated from Huaidong.

Yang Yuanpu's coffin stopped in the main hall of Chongwen Palace, and the candles around him were burning.

Feng Yi approached and looked at Yang Yuanpu's body in a half-hidden coffin, dehydrated, and his blue-gray face sank deeply, making it impossible to imagine what he was thinking about when he was temporary.

In addition to the palace eunuchs, female officials, and officials of Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites guarding the coffin, there are also twenty or thirty people from the clan who are guarding the spirits in the main hall.

During the Jinling rebellion, most of the clan's children were coerced to cross the river, even if Yang En also escaped while crossing the river, but many more were sent to Bianjing as hostages after Xu Mingzhen surrendered to Liang, including Du Chongtao's wife Yang Wenli, the lord of Deqing, the youngest son Du Lu, and two daughters.

After Du Chongtao was transferred to Jinling, he has not been reused, which is also a reason.

Still after the peace of Liang and Chu, except for Empress Xu, Yang Fen, the Duke of Chu, and the children of the clan who directly participated in the rebellion at the beginning, who remained in Bianjing, the other children of the clan who were abducted, including the three children of the lord of Deqing and Du Chongtao, were sent back to Jinling.

It's just that except for a very small number of people, most of the children of the clan returned to Jinling and were disgusted by Emperor Yanyou, and they no longer had their original prominent status and courtesy.

In addition to the need to use the children of the clan to guard the spirits during the great funeral, since the ministers decided to change the internal service province to the internal service mansion and wanted to use the clan ministers to control the affairs of the inner court, Yang En also had to select a few respected assistants from the clan.

The lord of Deqing is among them.

Seriously speaking, Du Chongtao is the biggest winner of this palace change, not only Du Shoutao served as the governor of the guards, but also led the guards and generals on duty at Chongwen Hall and Chongyang Gate at this time, but Du Chongtao's eldest son Du Tao and Zhou Bingwu's son Zhou Nan were the two of them.

The lord of Deqing County is the one who led a group of eunuchs and palace maids who were confirmed to be reliable after preliminary screening in the main hall to arrange the funeral.

The Empress Dowager of Changxin Palace and Mingcheng Palace also wanted to take the new emperor and the three princes to keep watch in the main hall, but after two days and one night of frightening, everyone was haggard and exhausted, and the ministers persuaded them to go back to the palace to rest for the time being.

At this time, Changxin Palace and Mingcheng Palace each had two ministers of political participation, as well as an old man of the clan and a number of women waiting to be sent at any time.

Han Daoming and Zhang Chao guarded the Changxin Palace, Zheng Yu and Zhou Bingwu guarded the Ming Palace, the four ministers were all in their sixties, plus a group of life women and clan women accompanied by each other, so there was nothing to avoid, but Feng Yi obviously did not have the opportunity to see the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces at this time, so he could only go to the main hall to pay homage to Yang Yuanpu's remains, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, Feng Yi was also full of emotion, thinking back to the bits and pieces in the Linjiang Hou Mansion back then, heartless and heartless, never thought that twelve or thirteen years would pass in the blink of an eye, and wanted to chant something, but felt bored.

Feng Yi walked out of the main hall, saw Qin Wen hurriedly coming from Chongyang Gate, called out to him, walked over and asked:

"Lord Qin hurriedly ran over, what's new?"

"Shen Xiang is not here in the main hall?" Qin Wen walked to the bottom of the corridor, looked inside, and said to himself, "Shen Xiang is not here, then he should be in Changxin ......Palace at this time."

When Qin Wen turned around to leave, he lowered his voice and said quickly to Feng Yi: "When Your Majesty was assassinated, in addition to Chen Ruyi, there were four middle and senior eunuchs and two female officials, who were once taken into custody for interrogation, and Lu Qingxia sent people to kill them before escaping, but they acted too hastily, killing five of them, but one of the palace eunuchs was seriously injured and did not die, and he still left a breath, and was sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau for rescue before. Yang Houye temporarily transferred more than ten torturers from the Yushitai, at this time, he should have asked something from his mouth, and at this time, he sent someone to Shen Xiang to discuss the matter, it should be something to tell him......"

"I saw Shen Xiang in the political hall just now, maybe I really went to Changxin Palace to see the Queen Mother at this time," Feng Yi shrugged and said.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, even if Lu Qingxia makes all the secrets public, no one will make any extraneous branches at this time, and Tang Yi is not worried that this hard-hit palace eunuch who has not died can reveal any shocking secrets.

Besides, there are some things, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Yang En will also come back to it in the future, but that's it.

Yang Yuanpu did not die until Lu Qingxia started, and this palace change was indeed provoked by Lu Qingxia, is it possible that he can still complain about Tangyi?

Of course, Qin Wen rushed over to tell him, hoping to talk to him and Han Daoming and be mentally prepared.

Qin Wen ran to Changxin Palace, found Shen Yang, and rushed to the Taiyi Bureau together, and saw that in addition to Yang En, Zheng Chang and Yang Zhitang were also here in the imperial history, Yang En also insisted on not setting up a private palace prison, and thoroughly investigated the palace change, and advocated the intervention of the imperial history platform throughout the process, which is also the reason why Zheng Chang appeared here.

After asking the imperial physician who started the rescue and the torturer in charge of the interrogation, Shen Yang knew that Chongwen Palace, the palace eunuch who was lucky enough to leave a breath and not be extinguished, rescued for a long time and hung back a life, but he had to intermittently ask for the time of a stick of incense, and finally he couldn't support it and died.

"Did you ask anything?" Shen Yang asked with a frown.

"Chen Ruyi is indeed Lu Qingxia's person, and nearly half of the palace attendants and female officials on duty in Chongwen Hall are Chen Ruyi, and Lu Qingxia instructed to insert them His Majesty is really Chen Ruyi stabbed to death directly from behind with a blade, and after His Majesty's death, Chen Ruyi and they brought an assassin into the main hall, disguised as a fake that everyone joined forces to fight back and kill. The Queen Mother was deceived, but she did not directly order the assassination of Her Majesty, but after His Majesty's death, she had to accept Lu Qingxia's hostage...... "Although Zheng Chang had the interrogation record in his hand, the words of the record were complicated, and he explained it to Shen Yang urgently.

"......" Shen Yang was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how His Majesty felt when he finally saw the most trusted pet eunuch in his life stabbing with a knife, or that His Majesty had swallowed his breath without seeing anyone stabbing him from behind?

"Anything else?" Shen Yang took the interrogation record from Zheng Chang's hand, looked at it casually and asked.

Zheng Chang said: "There are still things, please Shen Xiang to watch the actual record......"

There were no outsiders present, Zheng Chang was still chattering, Qin Wen guessed that the secret confided by the palace eunuch on his death should be Han Jun and the Queen Mother Wang Chan'er fornicating and having a child.

In addition to Lu Qingxia, Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang and others, it is impossible to hide this matter from the eunuchs and female officials who served by the Queen Mother Wang Chan'er.

There should be very few people who know the secret of Li Zhihe's life experience, but at this time, Lu Qingxia is fleeing along the Yangtze River to Xiangbei, and this secret does not seem to be important.

Shen Yang flipped through the interrogation record, frowned for a long time, and then took a long breath, put the interrogation record on the fire candle, lit it, threw it into the copper basin, and said: "According to the caliber agreed by the public in the political hall, copy a new copy of the actual record, and send it to the public for inspection......"

Yang Zhitang and Yang En did not object, Zheng Chang said to the prison officials who handled it: "Lu Qingxia colluded with the Hu clan to assassinate His Majesty, kidnap the Queen Mother and flee to Xiangbei, you will copy a new record according to this......"

After the two torturers walked away, Yang Zhitang couldn't help but say: "In addition to secretly sending a message to Zhang Ping and Jiang Huo, there are also a few fires in the palace that are quite suspicious, it seems that they were not secretly done by the Huang family, Shen Zhen really didn't investigate thoroughly?" ”

Shen Yang was silent and didn't speak, Yang Zhitang looked at Yang En and asked, "Uncle Hou, what do you think?" ”

"After all, Da Chu was lucky to avoid a bloody chaos, and didn't let hundreds of thousands of people die in the war, isn't it enough?" Yang En asked rhetorically.

Yang Zhitang was asked by Yang En's words.

Shen Yang let out a long breath, as if he had finally made up his mind and said: "Don't check, the Queen Mother is a person who understands, even if there is a possibility of demagogy, but after all, she will not rely on us and other old ministers who are loyal to the Great Chu Jiangshan Society, and other things will be talked about when Zhang Xian comes back from Chuzhou......

"My lord is saying that Yun Puzi may be a person from Tangyi, and the county lord of Qingyang was brought into Shangshu Province by Yun Puzi when the palace changed?" Qin Wen also knew at this time that Zhang Ping and Jiang Yu resolutely begged to go, after all, it made Shen Yang and them very suspicious, and at this time, in order to lurk deeper for themselves, they could only confess Yun Puzi first; Anyway, Yun Puzi's status is relatively independent, even if he comes together with the Han Mansion at this time, there will be no hindrance.

Shen Yang nodded, indicating that he did have such suspicions.

Qin Wen kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything more.

Shen Yang waited for Qin Wen to stay in the Taiyi Bureau and wait for the new version of the record to be copied to confirm that there were no omissions, and then circulated to the ministers of political affairs and the queen mother of the two palaces, which involved the follow-up rebellion and the righteous name of the support, Shen Yang did not dare to be sloppy, so he asked Qin Wen to stay here and star.

Yang En, Yang Zhitang, and Zheng Chang also had too many things, and they left the Taiyi Bureau one after another, Qin Wen walked to the mortuary to take a look at the palace eunuch who had died of heavy injuries, and walked to the outer wing to see the two torturers of the Imperial Historical Observatory lying on the desk and re-copying the actual record, and no one else was there.

After the transcription of the interrogation record was completed and the two torturers signed the seal, Qin Wen picked it up and was about to leave, and a criminal officer said: "In addition to the content copied in the actual record, this Chen Ruyi's descendant also confessed to the empress dowager and the eldest prince of the Han Mansion to have a child and the murder of Shang Wensheng in Shangjiabao with Chen Ruyi to blame Han Donghu and Su Lie......"

Qin Wen was slightly stunned, and looked at the two torturers, seeing that they were about forty years old, and their sideburns were already a little frosty.

"The little officials Zhou Chang and Zhang De both served as secretaries in Jinyun Building, but they were not elected to Jinyun Division by Chen Ruyi, and they have been serving as officials in Yushitai all these years; If Lord Feng ordered that there was any urgent matter, he could report it to Lord Qin. The torturer said.

Qin Wen patted his forehead and smiled, picked up the record and walked out......

Dahong Mountain, located on the south side of Tongbai Mountain, is the remaining vein of Huaiyang Mountain, also known as Green Forest Mountain, Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty originated here, the mountain situation echoes with the north and south of Tongbai Mountain, stretches for hundreds of miles, lies in Yingzhou, Suizhou, is the barrier that shelters Xiangbei from the southeast direction.

Yingzhou Zhicheng longevity, Suizhou Zhicheng Suiyang, respectively located in the west and northeast foot of Dahong Mountain, is the only way to advance from the east of the Han River and the north of the Yangtze River to Xiangbei, and in terms of importance, the longevity of the Yingzhou Zhicheng on the east bank of the Han River is more prominent than Suiyang.

Yingzhou ruled the city of Changchun for a long time, Tianyou thirteen years of the four gates of the city tower was destroyed in the war, collapsed, after the Jingxiang war, the state capital Yamen only pulled out the money and grain to repair the city wall, the city tower, almost dragged until Yanyou four years, Yingzhou city was repaired a new one, standing between the Dahong Mountain and the Han River, and the Jingmen on the west bank of the Han River, it is the gateway to the Xiangying Valley and the Nanyang Basin from south to north along the Han River and the two wings.

When Li Zhihe got the news that his adoptive father Li Pu coerced Lu Qingxia to launch the palace mutiny with the secret of his life experience, it was already the day of the palace mutiny, and he was so anxious that it was useless to jump to his feet.

Since he couldn't seal the mouth of his adoptive father Li Pu, and he couldn't prevent Lu Qingxia from launching a palace mutiny, Li Zhihe could only make emergency arrangements in Xiangbei according to the worst plan.

In addition to transferring Li Zhen to Shouwu Pass and summoning Chai Jian to his side in the name of deliberations, Li Zhihe also urgently replaced the guards of Jingmen, Changchun, Suiyang and other cities as soon as possible, all of whom were replaced by his direct cronies, and completely blocked the channels of Dahongshan, Wujing and other passes, as well as Jingmen.

In this way, even if the palace change fails, it is possible for him to temporarily control that the news will not spread to the Yingsui Prefectures, or he may be able to buy a little precious time to deal with it.

In such a short period of time, it was difficult to comprehensively adjust the military deployment of the Xiangbei Army, which was heavier than the northwest and lighter than the southeast, and Li Zhihe could only assemble a small number of cavalry, horse infantry and a small number of naval troops to Yingzhou to govern the city and live a long life at the fastest speed.

Whether it is the failure of the palace change or the stalemate of the palace change, he will not be completely helpless like a trapped beast in a cage.

On the afternoon of July 28, under the scorching sun, more than a dozen official ships full of devastation on the turbid Han River slowly appeared in the field of vision of the defenders at the head of Yingzhou City, and dozens of pursuing warships in the rear may have noticed that there were hundreds of naval warships standing in the upper reaches of the Han River, so they gave up the pursuit and turned around and withdrew to the lower reaches of the Han River.

At this moment, no one cheered at the head of Yingzhou City, but quietly and depressedly watched more than a dozen official ships dock at the dock outside Yingzhou City under the guidance of the sentinel boat.

At this time, it was already the ninth day before the palace change, and the text of the rebellion issued by Jinling had been transmitted to Huangzhou and Ezhou five days ago; These two prefectures also immediately sent orders to the counties to cut off communication with the Xiangbei prefectures, and gathered township soldiers to strengthen the garrison of the walled cities, blockade and water and land transportation between the two places.

At present, Li Zhihe can only temporarily stop the news from spreading further to the area north of Yingzhou, but he cannot control the news from entering Yingzhou, Suiyang, Jingmen, and other cities adjacent to Huangzhou, Ezhou, and Jingzhou.

Fortunately, the guards of the three cities of Yingzhou, Suiyang, and Jingmen, Li Zhihe were all replaced by his cronies in time, and some of the generals who were all in Deng Jun were stationed there, so that the situation in these three cities would not suddenly fall into a panic, and the situation was barely under their control.

However, no one would feel at this moment that the situation was favorable to Xiangbei, and no one would think that the imperial court had requisitioned Zhang Ji's Right Guards and joined forces with the soldiers and horses of Hunan, Jiangxi, Huang'e and other prefectures to join forces with the stronger Tangyi army to suppress them, and they were really capable of holding Xiangying, Deng Junliang and other states...... u
