Chapter 340
The sky is getting dark, the wind is blowing, and the road that was trampled on the mud pavilion at noon has shown signs of freezing when the temperature drops.
The people in their jackets on the street are endless.
Laba Festival past, the New Year Festival is approaching, regardless of the rich and powerful, or the poor households, the bottom of their hearts are still looking forward to the New Year's Festival, the streets and alleys are the people who buy New Year's goods, even if there is more than half an hour left from the time when the city gate is closed, there are still many cars and horses rushing into the city at this time.
In order to buy New Year's goods, even if they can't get out of the city in time, it is not extravagant to find an inn in the city to live for a night during the New Year's season, and they will even generously take out a few coppers and reward them to the beggars on the street.
Feng Yi accompanied Han Wenhuan to sit in the spacious and gorgeous carriage, and opened the curtain to see the prosperity on the street, without the slightest sign of murder and fangs, as if all the crises were just their illusions.
Not far from the Han family's mansion, several people walked out of a street and alley, Feng Yi saw Jiang Shu from a distance, and hurriedly stopped the Han family's subordinates from blocking it, and let Jiang Huo get into the car to talk.
"Marquis Xinchang, they are out of the city?" Feng Yi asked.
Jiang Yu got used to the dim light in the carriage, and saw that it was Old Lady Han sitting in the carriage and saluting, so he sighed and said to Feng Yu: "Master Hou decided to go out of the city and go directly to Taowuji to avoid trouble, and only agreed to let the generals and dependents who had not had time to leave the city gather in Lanting Lane...... In addition, the people and horses of the Chuzhou Pavilion have already left the city, and they have prepared two fast boats at the Daji Township Wharf in the early morning, and have been transporting some important materials out of the city one after another since noon. ”
Among all the people in Jinling, Feng Yi is the one who knows the inside story the most.
At the beginning of his stay in Tanzhou, Feng Yi was worried that Chuzhou would make a fuss about Shen He's death - whether Shen He died of poisoning or not, but his identity was too sensitive and critical, and Chuzhou would seize the rare opportunity to make a fuss.
This may be the only chance for Chuzhou, otherwise, the new emperor will either be the crown prince or fall into the pocket of the three princes, and there will be no chance for Chuzhou.
At that time, Han Qian said that he had a plan to delay the army and delay Chuzhou, and it was indeed to stabilize Chuzhou for more than three months, and to buy three more months for Tanwangfu.
However, no matter how sluggish Chuzhou is, it should have some reaction at this time.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that Zhou Zhi blocked the street and was the hands and feet of the people of Chuzhou hiding behind the scenes.
Chuzhou's men and horses in Jinling City have all withdrawn, that is to say, no matter what, even if Anning Palace has not been alarmed at this time and is still kept in the dark, Chuzhou will break open this earth-shattering hole!
"When the adults entered the palace early in the morning, it is very likely that they have already been frightened to the Anning Palace, what news has come back from the Shadow Sparrow Group?" Feng Yi asked.
Jiang Yu never knew that Feng Yu had come to Jinling very early, and seeing that Feng Yu had even known the Shadow Bird Group that was specifically lurking in the shadows to buy informants to keep an eye on Niu Mansion, East Palace, Staff Division and other key movements, it must have been clear to Han Qian that he had really told Feng Yu everything about Jinyun Tower.
"The Shadow Sparrow Group has always been lurking in the deepest depths, but just now, I saw that I couldn't persuade the Hou Ye, and I went back to Jinyun Tower, and six Shadow Sparrow secret letters have been delivered," Since the three princes and Han Qian have clearly stated in the secret order that they must discuss everything with Feng Yu, Jiang Yu also directly showed all the six secret letters to Feng Yu at this time, "The guards of Chongli Gate have all changed, and Zhong Yuli is afraid that it will be difficult to leave the palace with the secret edict; The Privy Council and the Martial Arts are also under their control! ”
The military department is empty, and the transfer of military attaches above the sixth rank and the power to transfer soldiers and horses of the forbidden army are mainly concentrated in the Privy Council; The right to transfer the guards and pro-army is in the Wude Division.
The Anning Palace may not be able to completely control these two yamen, but as long as the order letter is prevented, no one wants to legally mobilize the forbidden army and the guards in Jinling City.
Anning Palace first froze the movement of other large forces of troops and horses in the city, controlled the entry and exit of the palace, and then seized the initiative in his hands, what is the situation of Emperor Tianyou now, everyone outside the Chongwen Hall is not clear, and how many people dare to act rashly?
Feng Yi sighed slightly in his heart, continued to read the secret letter, handed it to Han Wenhuan again, and asked, "Does the boss think that the crisis is still possible to recover?" ”
Han Wenhuan sighed: "The building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support it alone, Daoxun should know this truth!" ”
"I'm still bothering Boss Jiang to take someone to Lanting Lane first, and I'll accompany Boss Jiang to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion." Feng Yi said.
Jiang Yu wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he didn't say anything, and after getting out of the car, he rushed to Lanting Lane with his people.
The secret spies and eyeliner lurking in the shadows of Jinyun Tower will not be alarmed, but the existing guards of Tanzhou Mansion and the people arranged in Jinling City by Jinyun Tower on the surface are also small two hundred elites, and these people are all controlled by Jiang Xu.
Again, as the families withdrew to Lanting Lane, Feng Yi was worried that Zhao Wuji would not be able to suppress the scene, and he would have to rush Jiang Shu back to take the town.
Zhao Wuji did not decisively obey his orders, so that he was controlled by Zhao Kuo, and Feng Yi had no way to complain about Zhao Wuji - Zhao Wuji was only eighteen years old after all, and forcibly detained the head of the family by force, who could not hesitate at all?
It's just that Zhao Kuo, who usually doesn't stand out much, is somewhat shocking.
The Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is not in the Imperial City, but in the Guangde Lane that was changed from the southeast corner of the original Guangde Fang.
After the founding of the Great Chu, there was no official residence after the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and several Jingzhao Yin were all on duty. Feng Yu had been hiding in the shadows in the past, and he had not had a chance to walk into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and watching the Han family bolt the carriage bolted on the horse tethered stone pillar in front of the yamen, it seemed that he could smell the bloody qi all over the city.
Feng Yi was just about to carry Han Wenhuan into the gate, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves "clicking" from a distance, and turned around to see Zhao Kuo rushing over with two iron-faced horses.
Zhao Kuo glanced at Feng Mi, and it was no surprise to see that Feng Mi could get out of trouble at this time, and saluted Han Wenhuan: "Zhao Kuo has seen Taigong." ”
"Where did you just go?" Feng Yi's eyes stared at Zhao Kuo's face sharply and asked.
Zhao Kuo naturally didn't need to pay attention to Feng Yi, but seeing that Han Wenhuan's eyes showed an inquiry, he said: "My lord sent me to persuade Wang Wenqian to stay in Jinling, Wang Wenqian didn't believe that the lord would support King Xin, and he had already left by boat!" ”
"The great Confucians of the ancients all said that righteousness is more important than profit, but above the court, there are high-sounding figures, who have been intriguing for so many years, how many people are not valuing profit and ignoring righteousness?" Han Wenhuan sighed lightly and motioned for them to go in first.
…………
…………
The sky is about to be dark, but the Chongwen Hall is already with a high fever, exuding a trace of sweet and greasy breath, but for those who have lived in the Chongwen Hall for a long time, after getting used to it, they can't feel it at all.
"The building is about to fall, and the thief smells the slightest wind and flees from the city, where is there any concern for the safety of His Majesty? And Your Majesty, you are still trying in every possible way to pass on the throne and the national honor of Da Chu to the scumbag born of that thief! Your Majesty, have you ever thought about who worked hard with you to fight this great Chu Jiangshan? Do you remember when you had nothing, relying on brute force in the army, desperately working hard to earn only one title of commander, who did not care about honor and disgrace, regardless of the ridicule of the world, abandoned the noble status of the daughter of a prince, and deigned to marry you? Who worked hard for you to tidy up your family business, settle the rear, and even guard the city for you, help you care for the generals, and inspire them to serve you? Who advised her brother to renounce his authority to divide one side, serve you, and accomplish your overlordship? Who swore on a snowy night that he would love me only in this life, and who swore that he would share the world with me and never take other sluts and prostitutes as concubines? Your Majesty, you have become the emperor, and you feel that the mourning family is old and decrepit, and you want to have three palaces and six courtyards, and the mourning family can bear you; Your Majesty, you know that the origin of that slut is unknown, and you have forgotten to return, and the mourning family has put up with you. What's wrong with Wu'er, what's worse than that, what's worse than that, and what's better than that whose origin is unknown, Your Majesty, you actually want to abolish Wu'er, set up that as a reserve, and hand over the country that the mourning family earned with you to that, but completely ignore how to deal with the mourning family after that ascends the throne? ”
A scathing, resentful voice reverberated through the empty hall.
Zhong Yuli was lying on the cold grinding stone ground covered in blood, his tendons and tendons had been broken, the wounds were directly exposed, and the blood was still flowing out; Zhong Yuli opened his mouth, and the blood foamed out, and he saw that his tongue was also cut off in half, so he could only scream dumbly, and his eyes were resentful, but they were not worth it.
"Do you think I'm not as obedient as before, you think there are too many old people in Guangling in this palace, so I found Zhong Yuli, the old dog, and recruited the old pawn to deal with the mourning family, Your Majesty, do you have any ideas, this country is the mourning family and you fought together, when you fought around, the mourning family also led the soldiers and guarded the city! They don't care about the kindness of their mourners in the past? ”
Empress Xu's face covered with thick powder, at this moment it was hideous and distorted, full of soaring murderous aura, like looking at a dead fish, staring at Emperor Tianyou, who was half-paralyzed and slumped on the dragon chair.
Her eyes were sharp like knives, and she wanted to cut off the flesh from Emperor Tianyou's body alive to relieve the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for all these years.
Zhao Mingting and Chen Xingmo knelt on the ground, their backs cold.
They have served Empress Xu for many years, and they know that Empress Xu will stay behind in all matters, but they didn't expect that among the six pawns in the Internal Government Bureau who were regarded as cronies by Zhong Yuli, there were two of them, and they were also the two who were most trusted by Zhong Yuli, and they were also the two people who accompanied Zhong Yuli to Jingzhao Mansion to secretly investigate the truth of Shen He's death with Han Daoxun today, and they turned out to be Empress Xu's people.
Niu Gengru sat on the brocade couch on the side, but also restless, he didn't expect that from the time Emperor Tianyou served as the battalion commander in the Huainan Army, he had been promoting and reusing Emperor Tianyou, and after Emperor Tianyou served as the envoy of the Zhunnan Festival, he continued to stay in Huainan as the supervisor of the army, assisting Emperor Tianyou's Wen Dusk Bridge, at this moment like an old crow, the old eyes were half-narrowed, and he stood behind Empress Xu without saying a word.
"You don't want to think about how you were nothing back then, why did Lord Wen appreciate you and promote you? Your Majesty, you were beaten like a defeated dog by Sun Ru back then, and hundreds of soldiers were left to flee back to Chuzhou, why did Lord Wen take out all his belongings to help you re-recruit the tribe like a loyal old dog? You get all this too easily, you really think that you are destined to return, do you really think that everyone should owe you, everyone should be obedient to you, and everyone should let you go back on your word? Even if Wu'er is incompetent, even if my younger brother really has the intention of rebellion, Your Majesty, think about it in your heart, even if this great Chu country is really replaced by my Xu family, is it still a fulfillment of Your Majesty's promise to the Mourning family? ”
Emperor Tianyou opened his mouth, but he was deeply poisoned, the root of his tongue was paralyzed, and he could no longer spit out half a word clearly, so he could only barely raise his hand tremblingly.
"Serve Your Majesty with pen and ink." Empress Xu was like an eagle standing tall in the Chongwen Palace, signaling the two officials of the Inner Government Bureau who were standing on the left and right, and took the pen and ink to Emperor Tianyou, to see what last words were left when this old dog was dying.
One person handed over the pen with ink, and the other came to him with rice paper, and saw Emperor Tianyou doing his best to write the numbers crookedly:
"I can draw up an edict, but you have to swear that the Great Chu River can only be passed on to the Yang family!"
"Your Majesty, you forgot, even if there is no written book by Your Majesty, but there are two ministers, Lord Wen and Lord Niu, who dare to question it?" Xu Hou said disdainfully.
Emperor Tianyou wrote crookedly: "Han Daoxun won't believe it, and you can't fight Han Daoxun!" Which of you could have laid out the Xuzhou plan to assist San'er four years ago? There is a problem with Wen Duanqiao, Han Daoxun hinted at me, but I hated that I couldn't believe him! ”
Wen Duqiao, whose old eyes were slightly narrowed, also suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
Niu Gengru and Zhao Mingting, who was kneeling beside the dragon chair, were also secretly frightened:
Yes, who would have thought that Han Daoxun's admonition to drive the hungry people in the court turned out to be to seek the military power of the Dragon Bird Army for the three princes, and who would have thought that Han Daoxun's release to the remote place of Xuzhou would lead to a series of changes such as the three princes' military commanders cutting the feudal domain?
Han Daoxun is too strong, this person must be eliminated, and he must not be allowed to go out of the city!
When everyone was suspicious, no one noticed that Emperor Tianyou's gloomy pupils hid the last trace of murderous intent that was still fierce.
