113 And the arrows came

Fengyang, Cao Bianjiao is welcoming the return of Jin Sheng at the moment, after escaping from Beijing City, Jin Sheng and they went south day and night, and finally crossed the Shandong boundary, and after arriving in Huaibei, they met Zhuang Zigu's soldiers and horses, and Zhuang Zigu also immediately sent troops to escort them to Fengyang.

"The minister Cao changed Jiao to see the princess, the princess is a thousand years old!"

When Cao Bianjiao learned about the princess Changping brought back by Jin Sheng, he was also very surprised, he was both strange and familiar with this woman, the reason for the strangeness was that he had never seen Princess Changping, but he often saw it in the film and television dramas of the future, the most famous is the one-armed Shenni in the Deer and Ding Ji, the old man Jin said that he was the princess of Changping, and he was also one of the main characters in the Blue Blood Sword, so Cao Bianjiao was not a stranger to him.

"General Cao is exempt from courtesy, the general will be the king from the capital, the second brother of the king of Yong, I also know, the Ming Dynasty has been continued, the general has made great contributions, I am here on behalf of my father and queen mother, thank the general for his loyalty!"

"The princess is serious, this is the duty of the minister, how dare you bow to the princess, and the minister is ashamed!"

"I want to go to Nanjing to meet the two imperial brothers, can the general arrange it as soon as possible?"

"The princess can rest for the night, and tomorrow morning, the minister will arrange this!"

"Then there will be work!"

Cao Bianjiao immediately ordered Princess Changping to be placed in the Zhongdu Palace to rest, as her princess, it is understandable to live there, after Princess Changping left, Cao Bianjiao also talked with Jin Sheng, Fang Yuegong, and Guo Zhenming.

"The situation in Beijing suddenly changed, we were also unexpected, after the defeat of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng fled back in a hurry, I didn't expect to usurp the dynasty to ascend the throne only ten hours, Li Zicheng fled from Beijing in a hurry, and also set fire to the Forbidden City, Beijing City suddenly became empty, but unfortunately, if the general could rush to Beijing City at that time, the capital of the country could be reclaimed."

"Lord Jin laughed, when I was still here in Fengyang, even if I got the news and went there day and night, it would take ten days and half a month, and the daylilies would be cold at that time." Cao Bianjiao also smiled bitterly, unless he took a flying car, it would be almost, but if there was one, this was fate, and Beijing City would not be able to take it back for a while.

"What the general said is very true! Fortunately, King Ding has inherited the unification and has been able to continue Mingzuo, and I still have half of the Ming Dynasty still alive, and I can find an opportunity to recover the Jiangshan Sheji! Fang Yuegong also said, Fang Yuegong in the second year of the Apocalypse after the Jinshi, as the head of the household department, although a small official, but the burden on his shoulders is not light, the calendar warehouse, supervising the level of grain reserves, managing grain reserves, is definitely a "fat difference", but he did not lose the true character of a scholar because of the power in his hands, known as honest and cautious, in February this year, Fang Yuegong was promoted to an official, appointed as a household, the second department of the military and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the governor of Caoyun, Tuntian, and military training. But at this moment, it is the end of the dynasty, and before he has time to do anything, Beijing was attacked by Li Zicheng, which is very regrettable.

"Li Zicheng is just a first-class Kou, if it weren't for the incompetence of the courtiers, it would not have made the city of Beijing fall, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty almost collapsed, now the north of the Yellow River is lost, I have prepared the Northern Expedition, after the next batch of grain and grass arrived, immediately led the army to recover Shandong, Henan, the three are rare loyal ministers of the imperial court, I will recommend a few to the emperor, and I hope you can do your best to help me, let's work together to serve the court."

As soon as Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Yuan Shu broke in in a hurry.

"General, something happened!"

"What's wrong? Don't rush, speak slowly! "Cao Bianjiao is also a spirit, the Northern Expedition is imminent, he doesn't want any accidents!

Yuan Shu also bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, sent someone to send news, saying that there is a person who claims to be the crown prince and appeared in Suzhou, and now he has been brought to Nanjing, and the city is full of turmoil. ”

"Impossible!" At this time, Fang Yuegong stood up very excitedly and said: "It's impossible, after I escaped from Beijing City, I kept going south all the way, and it took more than ten days to arrive in Fengyang, the prince was kidnapped by Li Zicheng and left, even if he took advantage of the chaos to escape, it is impossible to be faster than us, how can I reach Jiangnan so quickly, this matter must be false!" ”

"Yes, Li Zicheng led the army to evacuate Beijing, and the pursuers did not arrive until three days later, during this period, Li Zicheng's precautions will not be slack, and the prince will not have much chance to escape, it is impossible to reach Jiangnan so quickly, I am afraid that this is done by someone with ulterior intentions, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the chaos." Jin Sheng also said with a postscript.

"I'm afraid that I don't want to take advantage of the chaos, but try to subvert the court situation, don't hide it from you, I have a martial artist who has made a decision, how many people are red-eyed, and he was exceptionally promoted by the emperor, and he can be involved in the government while taking charge of the world's soldiers and horses, naturally many people are resentful and dissatisfied, if this prince is fake, it looks like it is pointing to the legitimacy of the emperor, but it is actually for me, because the emperor is supported by me, if the legitimacy of the emperor is gone, should I, the general, also abdicate and make way for the virtuous, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, That's pretty much it! ”

"His heart is punishable! The new emperor ascended the throne, the situation has just stabilized, and the people are at ease. If it's a real prince, it's just a fake prince! Jin Sheng was also very excited and very dissatisfied with this matter.

"The most annoying thing is that the general is about to make a big event in the Northern Expedition, at this time, there is this mess, the fighter plane is fleeting, once this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to say whether it will be so smooth at that time!" Yuan Shu also pointed out the big drawbacks behind this, the Northern Expedition, delayed the Northern Expedition, this is a big thing, now Li Zicheng is defeated, fleeing in a hurry, the military and the people's hearts are extremely conducive to the Northern Expedition, once this opportunity is missed, will there be repeated feelings, it is really hard to say.

"You don't have to worry about anything, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, what kind of conspiracy is the fake prince, you can be interrogated after you go back, the new emperor and King Yong are the younger brothers of the prince, you should be able to distinguish the true from the fake, and there is also a princess here, you can return to the court with the general to set the record straight, isn't this matter solved?" Guo Zhenming is very optimistic, there are so many people who can distinguish the real from the fake, and this matter is not so difficult to solve.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Cao Bianjiao thought secretly, the opponent spent so much effort to create a fake prince, will he let him survive this catastrophe so easily, I'm afraid it won't, it's rare for them not to know that this matter is very easy to distinguish, after all, there is King Yong as proof, but they still did it, which shows that they still have a backhand! As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, Cao Bianjiao also made up his mind this time, he must solve these people, so that they don't dare to act rashly anymore and do those things that will harm the country and the people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, rest first, tomorrow morning, we will leave for Nanjing, and then the matter will be completely resolved!"

"Yes!" Several people also went down one after another, Cao Bianjiao was still sitting in the hall, very tired, he was a general, not only had to be busy preparing for war all day long, but also had to fight with others, which made him very tired.
