Chapter 289: The Struggle for the Nation's Capital

That's right, in feudal dynasties, the issue of heirs and heirs is always the foundation of the country, and it is a major event that cannot be measured.

If you join this matter to a limited extent, you will get great benefits, and the merit of supporting is the easiest and the most able to get the greatest benefits.

However, the danger is also quite great, if you step into the void, or if you choose an uncertain candidate, it will mean the end of your political future, and even your life will be very problematic.

Those who are involved in the succession in advance are mostly depressed and want to gamble, the higher the status, the more difficult it is to express their status, and their identity also allows them to get the corresponding credit whenever they join.

Now, Zhao Xin is still young, Renzong is only in his 30s, and he is in the prime of life, in this case, it is too early to talk about what to do, but the actions of people with a heart have involved them, knowing this matter, this quagmire, they can no longer avoid it.

Sighing, Han Qi knew very well that there was no way to find someone to discuss this matter, this matter was top secret, and if it was really exposed, it would be quite troublesome, and it would not be conducive to Zhao Xin's protection, that is, he and Ouyang Xiu could know that if anyone else knew, there would be a problem, and it would be a big problem.

There was no way, Han Qi still called Ouyang Xiu over.

Ouyang Correction is dealing with the affairs of Baozhou, Baozhou can be said to be a thousand things, not to mention the losses suffered by the entire Baozhou, let's just say that the red deeds that Wei Gui burned in the end, that is really going to die, at least for decades, or even hundreds of years, some documents that can be traced back to the earlier Northern and Southern Dynasties have all been burned, and it is very difficult to sort out, not to mention, many people have died.

It takes a lot of time to sort out these complicated things into a context, not to mention some relief and the like.

If Ouyang Xiu is alone, even if he has a doppelganger technique, it is not enough, fortunately, he is just busy, and the chaos will not come out.

The army is pressing, and Ouyang Xiu's wrist is enough, in most cases, Ouyang Xiu gives people the feeling of being kind and pleasant, and he will also be sympathetic to his subordinates, but some people want to take advantage of it, sorry, the knife in Ouyang Xiu's hand is still sharp.

In fact, in the chaotic situation, only an iron-fisted policy can suppress these people, especially when there are too many things, except for Ouyang Xiu's own staff, the Daimyo's Mansion supported a large number of staff and officials, which solved the problem.

After a few days of busyness, Ouyang Xiu has gradually become accustomed to it, and he has also summed up some of his experience, and now it is almost going smoothly, but it will take at least a few months to deal with it all.

At this time, Han Qi has not been contacted by him, why did he find him.

If the war is still ongoing, Han Qi exists as the person in charge, everything is mainly military, but once it enters the administration, it is Ouyang Xiu who is the main one, Han Qi has been a local official, and he has also done administration, but he has been in the military system for a long time, and his administrative ability has not yet been shown.

To put it bluntly, it is a difference in the division of labor, in fact, Han Qi has always stayed in the barracks and rarely interfered in administrative matters, which is also the reason why Ouyang Xiu is reassured.

There is no big deal, Han Qi will not look for him, let alone let him go to the barracks.

After receiving Han Qi's information, it happened that Ouyang Xiu was here, and the work in his hand came to an end, so he simply came over to see Han Qi.

Han Qi, who had been waiting for Ouyang Xiu for a long time, directly let Ouyang Xiu into the big tent of the Chinese army, and retreated left and right.

When Ouyang Xiu saw Han Qi's movements, he knew that this matter was not simple, only the two of them, not even the captain of the personal soldiers who had been inseparable.

"Uncle Yong, we are in trouble, it's big trouble!" Han Qi said straight to the point.

What Han Qi said was a bit exaggerated, Ouyang Xiu wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't expect Han Qi to tell him what was going on, but handed him the secret letter, this secret letter was sent to the two of them, and of course Ouyang Xiu was qualified to read it.

Ouyang Xiu, who had a calm face and no other thoughts, took the secret letter, and after reading it, his face also changed greatly.

"Uncle Yong, we seem to be caught in some whirlpool!"

The feudal dynasty, the most important and the most critical is the prince, around the prince, there is a lot of competition, during the Tang Dynasty, even because of the prince, there were many princes to compete, all miracles.

It was a little better in the Song Dynasty, because the emperors of the Song Dynasty generally could not give birth, many of them were one or two, and if there were fewer heirs, there would naturally be less competition.

With other emperors, there are often eighty or ninety sons and daughters, the emperors of the Song Dynasty have always been scarce, and there are many brothers and brothers, and even those who have found suitable candidates from the imperial family have been many times.

This is probably the most dangerous thing in the feudal dynasty, especially when several people are likely to board the dragon chair, what should people do, how to choose, one wrong step, not to mention the future, even if it is a net worth, there may be problems, let alone the future.

Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi, who are young, have already become high-ranking government officials, and they don't want to be involved in the succession at this time.

Now, Renzong is still young and in good health, and falling into this place at this time is no less than being stupid.

But after reading this letter, whether they want to or not, they actually entered into this battle for succession.

In fact, in the future, the two of them will still be involved in the heir dispute, which is inevitable for every important minister of the court.

But that was more than ten years later, Renzong reigned for 41 years, in the later period, the health has been quite bad, many times have been in a coma, the country can not be without a king for a day, the king has always been the core of the dynasty, Renzong has been childless, as a dynasty, there must be an heir, at that time, Zhao Wei is the heir of one, he is the most suitable, so in the end, under the promotion, they also have the merit of supporting.

No matter what, it was decades later, and at this time, the two of them were still Fa-changers, and they had never participated in the succession, and they were still very loyal to Renzong.

What surprised them the most was, in fact, why did this happen, Zhao Xin is still young, Ren Zonghai is young, and someone has already begun to lay out such a tragic Baozhou mutiny, in this case, what will happen next.

The matter has come to this, on the contrary, Han Qi is more calm, he quickly grasped the key, he has entered, then do a good job, and said to Ouyang Xiu: "Uncle Yong, what do you mean?" ”

"Of course it's to protect him, what else! What if you do it again? Ouyang Xiu hated this matter very much, but Renzong's clear statement, he couldn't ignore it, in his heart, Zhao Xin was the prince, the only son of Renzong, and his existence was also quite useful for the stability of the dynasty.

It was inevitable that he would enter this system, and even a very chaotic situation, I don't know which way to offend, but Han Qi was still willing, he was still young, and he was not as far-sighted as he would be in the future.

Han Qi faintly felt that I am afraid that the changes in Miaojiazhuang have a certain relationship with this Zhao Xin, why does Miaojiazhuang not change at other times, but after he arrived, Miaojiazhuang has changed, and it just blocked the attack of the rebels, and the longbow and the fortress also appeared at this time?

If it was invented by Sun Ji, why didn't he say that although Sun Ji was a treatment device, he was very good in terms of personal strength and martial arts, but the excellence of his skills did not mean that his brain was excellent, not the ability to invent and create.

"That's okay, Zhigui, anyway, there aren't too many things on the Baozhou side, just leave some people to guard it!"

Ouyang Xiu still has a lot of things to deal with, he went back immediately, he can't do much to protect Zhao Xin, he is a civil official.

Han Qi only let Ouyang Xiu know, otherwise, when Ouyang Xiu asked him for help, he ran to Miaojiazhuang, it was not passive.

Itself, I wanted to bring the forbidden army of 2 armies over, but after thinking about it again, I still gave up the idea of such a temptation.

Miaojiazhuang's own defense is not weak, there is a fortress, as long as there are hundreds of regiments to practice, it can easily block the attack of tens of thousands of troops, he really brought a lot, and there is no place to station.

He still remembered that he went to Miaojiazhuang, which was half destroyed, that is, he could be stationed in the fortress.

But it definitely won't work there, Han Qi knows very well that for the time being, he hasn't gained Zhao Xin's trust yet, and under the premise of encountering so many attacks, Zhao Xin is almost the same if he is not a frightened bird.

Bringing 1,000 elites, including 500 personal guards, is enough to ensure safety, and separate the army, faintly centered on Miaojiazhuang.

The army was dispatched, followed by 1,000 elites, these are two concepts, after Han Qi's order was issued, it was ready in less than an hour, and then the camp was pulled.

The huge army, which looked mighty, frightened Sun Ji very much, and even the regimental training raised the alarm and went to the wall with weapons.

There have been tens of thousands of rebel troops, head-on confrontation, coupled with the training of the past two months, especially in the siege of Baozhou, it is a regular battle, even if it is anticlimactic because of explosives, but it can be regarded as a regular battle.

In addition, when training longbows, there was communication with regular archers, even if they did not belong to the same weapon, they could be regarded as a great improvement, and now they basically have no problem defending the city, and some field drills are also proceeding step by step.

However, the army was almost 15 miles away from Miaojiazhuang, divided into two parts, three to be exact, and at least 10 cavalry obviously broke away from the large army and came towards Miaojiazhuang.
