The drizzle in Lin'an City, which was as continuous as silk, lasted until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Not long after the rain stopped, Bai Xian sent people to the cell to deliver several messages.

The banquet that the Bai family planned to hold tonight was canceled; Mo Yun's bail was denied; The western border of the Song Kingdom was captured by unknown forces, and refugees poured in to occupy Hang'an Province; Under the sponsorship of the old general Dijin, Yuan Mouliang was exceptionally promoted to the vanguard commander, and hurriedly ordered 500 commanders to rush to the aid of Hang'an Mansion.

Other news is enough, and the last one made Mo Yun look at Yuan Mouliang with admiration.

When the servants of the Bai family left, Hong Xuchou, who had been quietly listening and did not make a sound, smiled softly:

"Do you guess, will Yuan Mou Liang quell the riots in Hang'an Mansion?"

"Yes...... bar. Mo Yun hesitated for a moment, remembering Hong Xuchou's evaluation of Yuan Mouliang, "Is it possible, now he wants to disturb the Song Kingdom?" He doesn't have anything. ”

Hong Xuchou shook his head with a smile: "This is just a small riot, of course Yuan Mouliang will calm down as soon as possible." Zhao Zhe didn't intend to let this riot end so easily. ”

Mo Yun felt incredible: "The Song Kingdom is rioting, isn't Zhao Zhe the most worried as a prisoner?" He is the future King of Song! ”

"Zhao Zhe is a young man. King Song......" Hong Xuchou paused, as if to calm his emotions, and continued, "King Song is seriously ill now, and it may not be long before he can ascend the throne as the new king." The situation of the Song State was different from that of other states, and the big merchants, the wealthy, and the famous families seized many special powers in the past 45 years. Zhao Zhe has an impatient personality and thinks very highly of himself, and in previous years, he repeatedly proposed to reduce their interests in the court, but he was always suppressed by King Song. In comparison, His Royal Highness is old and weak, and it is actually easier to manipulate. His Royal Highness died, and Zhao Zhe was the only one left to inherit the throne, and many people were not convinced. ”

"I feel more and more like you were caught on purpose. He has been in charge of the Song State for twenty-four years, how could he be arrested so easily. Mo Yun seemed to hear that Hong Xuchou's words were a little tired.

Hong Xuchou spread his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of the King of Song, I have been able to occupy the position of prime minister for twenty-four years, but it does not mean that I can control the top and bottom of the Song Kingdom. The title of the head of Yuanmou Liang, I must report to King Song afterwards before I can make the trip. Why is His Royal Highness under house arrest for more than 40 years, and there are still some people who seem to support him openly and secretly, it is just that some people are not used to King Song's behavior, but more because they don't want my life to be better. This undercurrent is not ordinarily large. It just so happens that this undercurrent is not very friendly to Zhao Zhe. Although Zhao Zhe is not smart, he is not a fool either. ”

Hong Xuchou looked at Mo Yun and asked, "A national disaster can prosper the country, and a catastrophe can establish a Ming king." Have you ever heard of this phrase? ”

Mo Yun nodded: "Lao Buxiu said that many real talented people can rise in troubled times, but they will disappear in peaceful times. ”

Hong Xuchou said: "Zhao Zhe is very convinced of this sentence. He imprisoned me by the will of the King of Song, also because of my high achievements. In the same way, the nobles have an extraordinary size, and it is not something that he can successfully subdue. King Song had originally planned to gradually increase his prestige from this year for the future. Now Zhao Zhe's prestige is not high, and he is unable to convince the public, if he is stubborn and self-serving, his throne may not be able to be kept. So ......"

"Therefore, a riot can just allow him to crush the nobles with his troops, and even quickly concentrate power." Mo Yun nodded and took over the conversation and said.

Hong Xuchou patted his palms lightly: "You are very good, you can understand this truth." ”

"As long as the riot lasts no more than one node, when facing a common enemy, it will infinitely strengthen the stability of Zhao Zhe's throne. Most of the nobles of the Song Kingdom who have been in Chengping for 45 years are unwilling to face the war, and they would rather keep the world of Chengping than become chaotic. This is also the logic that I considered when formulating the national pillar policy. This is their weakness, and they themselves understand it. Hong Xuchou continued.

"The riot in front of the 'King of Song Eats' pavilion was instigated by the nobles of the Song Kingdom?" Mo Yun had been wondering what had happened last night.

Hong Xuchou raised his head and looked at the dim light: "King Song." ”

"No, when His Royal Highness died, didn't he also grieve and get seriously ill? Is he guilty of mobilizing the people to do such a thing? Unless......" Mo Yun's eyes lit up, "he knew he was going to die." ”

Hong Xuchou let out a long sigh: "When he asked me to contact Lang Pavilion and buy Lang Pavilion's armaments, I should have understood that he didn't have much time. According to our original plan......" Hong Xuchou shook his head and did not continue.

"Zhao Zhe, this is undoubtedly a chestnut in the fire. No one knows what the mob will do in the end. One frontier can fall for no reason, and so can borders elsewhere. What's more, there are also the Ten Confederate armies eyeing each other. He seems to have gambled too much. Mo Yun muttered.

Hong Xuchou can speculate, but he can't be sure, all sources of information have been cut off by the prison chief's long channel.

What the hell is going on outside, neither of them knows.

……

Hang An Fu, late at night.

The luminous pearl illuminates the entire boundary of Hang'an Mansion City.

Under this light, more and more refugees entered from the western border of the Song Kingdom, and they entered Hang'an Mansion in rags and dragged their families into Hang'an Province.

Hang An province did not lose anything because of the riots, and most of the Hang An trainees helped overnight to take in the refugees.

Although the way they accept it is more or less business-like.

"It's cheap, it's cheap, five pounds a bag of small corn. Wrap you up with a bowl of hot porridge to ward off the cold. ”

"As long as you still have a few Jun coins on you, you can come to our 'Liyang Building' to eat dumplings."

"Do it yourself, you have enough food and clothing, and the rice anywhere is not as good as your own small corn. Authentic Hang'an Mansion small corn, as long as ten Jun coins, with a clay pot mouthful, you can eat anywhere! ”

"How can the clear spring have a cool breeze and fragrance, and the heart is bright and refreshing. The cool breeze is fragrant and the wine is good, you will be covered with a bowl of warmth, two bowls of sleeping on a cold kang, and three bowls and four bowls of winter nights! ”

"Liuyuan Inn, specially provides twenty-five other rooms, if you want to sleep well, Ming'er gets up early and washes up in a hurry, hurry up, don't wait, first come, first served!"

Shouts like this almost overturned the entire Hang'an Mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people with vegetables in the city, who were barely carrying weapons and patrolling around with a serious face, Hang'an Mansion would have almost become Su Chun's night market.

At the city gate of Hang'an Mansion, the leader elected by the refugees looked helpless: "How do I know that this thief guards the city, don't want anything and leave." My fellow villagers and I just want to go home. Right, right...... I am a Song person. I am a drop of Baiquan Mansion. Now what do you say? If we say good things to King Song, can we be embarrassed? ”

He was spoken to by a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a pale face and a goatee and a mouthful of old yellow teeth:

"The city guard has been scared away by you, he doesn't want to die, and he will definitely slander you as traitors."

"What do you say, Master Xu, my son was the one who saved Di at the beginning, and it was you who named Di Er, I believe you. If you say what you say, we will do it. As long as we don't leave the Song Kingdom, we will be in the middle. The leader snorted and said seriously.

"I think King Song should also know about your side of the matter, you have to prepare early. Hong Xuchou was ruthless, and the King of Song had been deceived by him, so that there was such a ridiculous policy as the national pillar policy. In order to cover up his mistakes, he will surely send troops to destroy you. Xu Guashi subconsciously touched his beard under his chin, and with a little force, his beard was torn off, revealing his bare chin.

The leader and a few of his companions burst out laughing.

Xu Guashi simply threw away his beard: "You have to have a name for everything." If the name is not right, it is not good. Do you know Your Highness? ”

The leader looked at his companions around him, turned around and said, "Master Xu, we know about His Royal Highness. I heard that he was a bad coward. ”

Master Xu looked at them with a serious expression and said, "His Royal Highness is the rightful king of the Song Kingdom, and Zhao Xu is the one who usurped the throne. ”

"Who is Zhao Xu?" The leader blinked.

"Forget it. You don't need to know. In the future, you have to change your opinion, this Zhao Xu is the bad coward. Hong Xuchou is the biggest traitor by Zhao Xu's side. Xu Guashi pinched his chin, "Hou San'er, tell me how you entered the Song Kingdom?" ”

Hou San'er is the leader, and he is also one of the first people to break through the border card.

After listening to his narration, although many details are vague, the general situation can be judged.

"Xu is not strict, someone has found it." A man of short stature and wearing a blue patch gown ran to Xu Buyan's side and said breathlessly.

"You arrange the resettlement of the refugees, and then find a few reliable people to go to the border card and check with the soldiers in the barracks over there. Hou San'er, you are the leader, I will help you plan in the future. Xu Buyan said to Hou San'er.

Hou San'er smiled, touched the back of his head and said: "I am a kind of crop, the person who buys and sells the crop land, how can I be the leader." Master Xu, I think it's better to find a suitable drop, preferably an official. We just want to go home, and all kinds of land will be done. ”

Xu Buyan smiled: "Just you are shrewd." You do it first. If you really don't want to do it, I don't force it, and you can recommend a new one later. I have some other things, go first. ”

After Hou San'er left, the person who had been waiting next to him said: "I just found out the new news, Zhao Zhe has become a prisoner." King Song was seriously ill and could not be a director. Hong Xuchou was sent to prison. ”

Xu Buyan's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?" Zhao Zhe became a prisoner? Ha ha...... It's really the protection of the heroic spirit of His Royal Highness! Go, go meet the man. ”

……

Bai Youcheng was irritable, paced in the tent, and gradually walked out of the tent and walked towards the side card.

There were much fewer refugees at the border card, and Bai Youcheng walked through the area where the refugees were and into a nearby grove.

A figure stood in the woods: "That team has been put in?" ”

Bai Youcheng nodded: "Don't let that madman out in the future, it's the middle of the night for a dozen people, and you won't let people rest." ”

"His Royal Highness is dead. Hong Xuchou went to prison. Zhao Zhe became a prisoner. The figure turned his back to Bai Youcheng, did not take his tone, and told the news that had not yet been conveyed to him one by one.

Bai Youcheng seemed to have expected it, and he didn't have any surprised looks, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "What is Xiaoqian's origin?" ”

The figure shook his head: "You shouldn't know, you don't need to know." I will leave the Plains of War to-night. In the future, how the Song Kingdom will be, it will depend on your own strategy. ”

Bai Youcheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "There is a chance to see you again." ”

……

Far away from Hang'an Mansion, the small detachment that let countless refugees enter the Song Realm slowly got up in the night, stepped on horseback, and gradually approached in the direction of Lin'an City.
