Chapter 255: And the Confession
Chapter 255: (and Confession)
Shangguan Yin Feng had already received the news that Liang Gong was detained in Cheng Wenzhe's army in the Liang Mansion, but Shangguan Yin Feng was not worried about Liang Gong's safety, but quickly arranged for Huanglong to send Liang Xin and Liang Yan out of the city and towards Changqing County. And just after the Liang sisters left the city, Jinan City was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
"Lord Wang, when are we going to retreat?" Zhang Xiong asked a little anxiously, now that the plan has been completed, according to Shangguan Yin Feng's guess, Zhou Fan or Cheng Gongwu will definitely suspect him.
"Don't worry, pass the order, everyone in Jinyiwei is ready at any time."
"No..."
Things are also as Shangguan Yin Feng expected, the first thing Cheng Gongwu did after waking up was to let Zhou Fan enter the palace to discuss major matters, and when Cheng Gongwu talked about the situation he suspected, Zhou Fan told Cheng Gongwu everything that happened on the night of Shangguan Yin Feng's marriage.
"The minister didn't dare to speculate, so he didn't tell His Majesty in time, now that I think about it, when the king of Changyang dares to rebel so boldly, I'm afraid the king of Dongping won't be able to get out of it."
Cheng Gongwu directly felt a chill in his vest, if his most trusted eldest son rebelled, I am afraid that the entire Qi country would not have the strength to contend with: "Now that Cheng Tai is in Cangzhou, it seems that it is also the unscrupulous son who deliberately left him in Cangzhou, and he led 30,000 cavalry south, Cheng Chang is probably still in the dark." ”
"Your Majesty, the plan now is to summon the King of Jiyang back to Jinan as soon as possible to rescue him, and he can also order the King of Pingyi on the front line to quickly return to Jinan to report on his work, and then let him lead the troops to control the army in the hands of King Dongping first, which is the key." Zhou Fan said reasonably, after all, he is a person who was born as a military general, and he is much higher than ordinary civil officials in terms of arrangement, and he himself has been a civil official leader for so long, and his martial arts are not under Cheng Gongwu.
"According to what you said, by the way, I think Yin Song is very suspicious, Aiqing, he is your son-in-law, what are you going to do?" Cheng Gongwu looked coldly at Zhou Fan, who was kneeling in front of him, and said.
Zhou Fan bowed and said: "The minister is loyal and patriotic, if Yin Song does have an affair with the king of Changyang, the minister will behead him, and Rong Chen will go back to inquire." ”
"You'd better figure out what's going on." Cheng Gongwu waved Zhou Fan away as he spoke, lay down and rested.
In the Zhou Mansion, Shangguan Yin Feng was in the room that belonged to him and Zhou Rou, Zhou Rou was in the inner room, and he and Zhang Xiong were in the outer room, Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and looked at Zhang Xiong and said: "This king estimates that Zhou Fan will interrogate this king when he returns to the mansion, remember, if you can't identify yourself, this king must take her away..."
"The last general will swear to protect the prince from the city..."Zhang Xiong said and knelt down towards Shangguan Yin Feng.
"Uncle, my lord asked you to go to the lobby and said that there was something important to discuss with you." The words of the servant sounded outside the door.
Shangguan Yin Feng stood up and frowned at Zhang Xiong, took the Divine Arm Crossbow from Zhang Xiong and put it in his sleeve, and then took Zhang Xiong towards the lobby together.
The hall was full of heavily armed soldiers inside and out, with serious expressions, Shangguan Yin Feng took a deep breath and walked into the hall, Zhou Fan sat on the main seat, and next to him stood Zhou Jun, who was wearing armor, and looked at Shangguan Yin Feng who walked into the hall with a serious expression.
"Virtuous son-in-law, do you know the reason for King Changyang's rebellion this time?" Cheng Gongwu asked directly to the point, did he think that Shangguan Yin Feng would be false with him.
Shangguan Yin Feng of course would not beat around the bush, and directly arched his hand towards Zhou Fan: "Father-in-law Mingjian, I can't hide it, I am a military captain under the account of King Dongping, and all the actions of King Dongping in Hebei are from the hands of the son-in-law, the reason why the son-in-law knows so much about the Cheng Dynasty is also because the son-in-law has always been responsible for the combat operations of the Cheng Dynasty, and the King of Dongping will ask for advice like the son-in-law whenever the war is big or small." ”
"That's really the case..."Zhou Fan frowned and looked at Shangguan Yin Feng.
"And the king of Changyang is also the son-in-law who is in charge, and the son-in-law was instructed by the king to contact the king of Changyang to start an incident together." Shangguan Yin Feng also showed a righteous expression as he spoke.
"What do you mean now, after the army of King Dongping passes through Dezhou, he will return to attack Jinan directly?" Zhou Fan asked.
"That's right, now Liang Xi has left Jinan with tens of thousands of troops, in Changqing County, and the northern defense of Jinan City is not more than 10,000 soldiers, but the southern soldiers and horses are all fighting with the King of Changyang, I believe that the eldest brother is not the opponent of the King of Changyang, and the southern camp of the forbidden army is only 50,000 people, as long as the army of the King of Dongping arrives, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Jinan City can be taken."
"There are still people from the king of Dongping in Nandaying?" Zhou Fan looked at Shangguan Yin Feng with a cold face, and shouted angrily: "Do you know what you are doing? ”
"Father-in-law..."Shangguan Yin Feng pretended to look at Zhou Fan anxiously and said: "Since I have married Rou'er, I will naturally try my best to protect my father-in-law, and my son-in-law has promised to persuade my father-in-law in front of the king, and the king has also promised that as long as my father-in-law supports King Dongping, you will still be the prime minister of Zuo..."
"Presumptuous..."Zhou Fan stood up with a loud shout, waved his hand, and said: "Take down this traitor, send it to the palace, and hand it over to the emperor..."
The soldiers who had already stood in the hall drew their swords and rushed up, and Zhang Xiong pulled out the sword at his waist as he spoke, blocking it in front of Shangguan Yin Feng.
"The old man is blind and actually asks his daughter to marry you, come here, and correct the Fa on the spot..."Zhou Fan scolded angrily.
"Don't, father..."Zhou Rou ran into the house crying and blocked in front of Shangguan Yin Feng: "Father, my husband is not that kind of person, please don't kill my husband..."
"Sister..."Zhou Jun shouted: "This person is the person of the king of Dongping, and now he wants to rebel, what are you still protecting him for?" ”
"Father, since the child is married to her husband in this life, she is the husband's person, if you want to kill him, kill me first..." Zhou Rou cried, making those soldiers who wanted to do it a little worried, after all, this person in front of him was the young lady of Zhou's mansion, but he didn't dare to do it casually, even if the woman was worthless, it was Zhou Fan's daughter.
"You don't want to leave today..."Zhou Fan saw that his daughter was actually in front of a thief, and felt uncomfortable, and then scolded: "For my father, I broke off with you today, and when I leave this Zhou Mansion, you are not my Zhou Fan's daughter, get out..."
"Husband, let's go..."Zhou Rou turned around and pushed Shangguan Yin Feng with tears in her eyes, and Shangguan Yin Feng also signaled Zhang Xiong to hurry up.
"Rou'er, in this life, I will advance and retreat with you as my husband..."Shangguan Yin Feng said to Zhou Rou as he walked.
Out of the door of the Zhou Mansion, Huang Long, who had been waiting not far away, rushed over with a group of Jinyi guards, Zhou Rou already knew that Shangguan Yin Feng was going to rebel, and it was not strange, but he was still in tears, and suddenly broke away from Shangguan Yin Feng's hand and ran towards the gate of the Zhou Mansion: "Husband, Rou'er doesn't regret marrying you, but Rou'er can't bear to abandon her mother and father, husband, we'll see you in the next life..."
Shangguan Yin Feng sighed, he knew that Zhou Fan would confine Zhou Rou at most, and he still had a chance to come back to pick up Zhou Rou, but now the overall situation was still important, so he frowned and led people out of the city quickly.
