Early in the morning, the Manchu Qing Cabinet in Beijing and the Ministry of War sent a few express reports and put them on the table, Hou Fangyu picked them up and sent them to Hong Chengchou's study.

After a while, Hong Chengchou called him in and picked out a few copies of the recital, "Chaozong, you will send these few excerpts to the Regent's mansion." ”

"Yes, the next official will go over!" Hou Fangyu took the note and bowed and retired.

Out of the yamen, Hou Fangyu got into a carriage and asked him to go to Dolgon's mansion.

The carriage started slowly, and Hou Fangyu quickly read a few books, and each time he read one, he threw it aside, and suddenly his eyes enlarged and he saw what he wanted to read.

The song was written by Yue Le, saying that he had taken over the army and that Haorge and Zilharang would later return to Beijing to be questioned.

Hou Fangyu hid this book in his chest, then picked up the other notes, waited until he arrived at the regent palace, handed over the notes to the palace officials, and hurried out of the palace.

"My lord, are you going back to the yamen?" The coachman asked.

"The official is a little uncomfortable, let's go back to the mansion first!" Hou Fangyu shook his head and got into the carriage.

……

In the west of the outer city of Beijing, many people in the outer city of Guo entered and exited from this gate.

In the early morning, a long queue formed at the city gate, and vegetable farmers carrying bamboo baskets, pushing wheelbarrows, loaded with vegetables and pork, wearing gray cloth coats, and stepping on straw sandals outside the city, were waiting to enter the city.

The queue was long, but it was silent, and the soldiers guarding the gate checked the people who came in and out, and collected the gate tax for entering the city.

At this moment a carriage came from the city and was stopped at the gate by a soldier wearing a gown and a red-crowned hat.

Hou Fangyu lifted the curtain, showed his head, and said with a smile: "Go out of the city to do something!" ”

The guards at the city gate naturally didn't know him, and Qian Zong, who was wearing a black official robe on the side, wearing a bowl hat on his head, and a sword at his waist, had already walked over, and when he saw that it was Hou Fangyu, he hurriedly said: "Oh, it's Lord Hou, you are out of the city again today?" ”

Hou Fangyu smiled and nodded, "It's President Zhao Qian!" This official went out of the city to do something, Zhao Qian hasn't moved for three years, I think it's time for you to move. ”

Mr. Zhao Qian immediately smiled on his face, like a chrysanthemum, and nodded, "Then I really have to thank Lord Hou!" ”

Hou Fangyu looked at the city gate and said casually: "There are a lot of people!" Will it take a long time? ”

Mr. Zhao Qian waved his hand hurriedly, "Quickly move the rejection horse away!" Then he said, "Do you want to send a few brothers to escort you?" ”

Hou Fangyu shook his head slightly, "No need, just go to Tongzhou and show Master Hong a batch of goods." ”

At this time, the rejection horse had already been moved away by the soldiers, and Hou Fangyu immediately said: "I have time to come to my house to drink tea!" Then he lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage drove out of the city gates.

Mr. Qian watched the carriage go away, and his subordinates on the side couldn't help but wonder: "Head, who is this person?" ”

Mr. Zhao Qian gave him a blank look, "At the foot of the imperial city, why don't you care about political affairs at all?" This person is Lord Hou Fangyu, the son of the former Hou Pavilion, and now he is a celebrity around Master Hong. Saying that, Mr. Qian lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, someone above wanted to check Lao Tzu, and Lord Hou helped me settle it with a word." ”

"Boss, you're going to be developed!" The subordinate next to him exaggerated.

~~~~~~

Juyong Pass is an important pass in the northwest of Beijing, connecting Beizhili and Xuanda, Haoge and Zierharang received the order, handed over the army to Yue Le for temporary command, and then took hundreds of cavalry, from Guihua City to Xuanda, and then returned to Beijing through Juyong Pass, ready to accept the punishment of the Manchu court.

With the loss of 60,000 soldiers and horses, it was impossible to go unpunished, and Hauge and Zilharang had already made mental preparations after seeing the human heads hanging on the Great Wall.

Because of this, Zilharang was still depressed, but when he decided to accept the reality, the whole person was much more relaxed.

There are many Duoduo examples in the past, and taking responsibility is to demote the lord and punish him, and the Qing Dynasty faced a strong enemy, it was the time to employ people, the title was lowered, and there was a chance to rise in the future.

At this time, the group passed the Juyong Pass, and Zilharang said to Hauge next to him: "After returning to Beijing, when the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliaments questioned us, you and I need to bite one thing to death, that is, when we received the will of Dolgon to return to the division to rescue Hedong, Ao Bai had already formulated a plan to march to Guanzhong, and it had already begun to be implemented. We couldn't get in touch with Ao Bai and Sony for a while, so we couldn't withdraw as ordered. ”

Hauge nodded, "Angbang Amma, I understand that our biggest problem is not defeat, but resisting the will of the imperial court. ”

Zilharang nodded, and stopped talking, in fact, he was a little complaining about Hauge, if he had listened to him at the beginning, he would not be greedy for merit, and he would not be today.

When the next group of people was slowing down, a carriage on the road suddenly rushed out sideways.

Shocked Hauge and his party, they hurriedly reined in the war horse, the war horse neighed, stopped next to the carriage, and the elite blue armor instantly swarmed up, took off the person who drove the car, and smashed it on the ground.

"Who dares to collide with the prince?" The blue-armored soldier was fierce and vicious, drawing his sword and roaring.

Hou Fangyu was smashed, he saw the bright sword, almost frightened, and hurriedly said: "I have something important to report to King Su and King Zhuang!" ”

The blue-armored soldier was puzzled for a while, and Haoge, who was controlling the war horse, couldn't help but say, "Do you know this king?" ”

"Slave Hou Fangyu meets King Su!" Hou Fangyu saluted, and then said urgently: "The slave has been waiting for a few days before the pass, just to report to King Su and King Zhuang, the regent will be unfavorable to the two princes, and the prince must not return to Beijing!" ”

Haoge's face changed, and Zilharang next to him was also in his heart, he looked around, and suddenly waved his hand, "Take him and go out of Guancheng first!" ”

A blue-armored soldier grabbed Hou Fangyu and put it in front of the saddle, and everyone pulled the reins of their horses, turned in place before the pass, and rushed directly to the gate.

The defenders of Juyong Pass, knowing their identities, did not dare to stop them, the guards looked at Haoge and his party a little busily, and rushed out of the gate, stunned for a while, and then suddenly said: "Hurry up and report to Beijing!" ”

······

In the territory of Xuanfu, next to a forest, a bonfire was lit, Haoge and Zierharang sat by the fire, Hou Fangyu knelt on the ground, and the blue-armored soldiers behind him stood with swords, just waiting for the two princes to give an order, and then killed this suspicious Han man.

Hauge grimaced, "Say, what the hell is going on?" ”

Hou Fangyu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Lord Wang, the slave got the news from Master Hong that the regent may be unfavorable to the two princes, and intends to seize the military power of the two princes first, and then trick the two princes back to Beijing to be executed, so risk death to inform the prince!" ”

Hauge immediately exploded when he heard this, "Okay, you Dolgon, this king knows that he will not let go of this opportunity, and he will definitely take action against this king." ”

Zierharang stared at Hou Fangyu with a gloomy face, "Dog minion, who are you, and what good is it for you to inform this king?" I can't say it, this king has chopped you! ”

Hou Fangyu, who was kneeling, was immediately agitated, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead......

(I wanted to add more, but I was annoyed by things at home, and I'll talk about it tomorrow.) ）
