With a snap, the teacup fell to the ground and fell apart!

"Kill the erector!"

The roar from inside the house only made the faces of everyone outside the house tighten, and they hurriedly lowered their heads and stopped talking, for them, the subordinate officials of the East Palace, the East King is nine thousand years old, but the North King and the Wing King are also kings, and they are just ants in their eyes, and they dare to speak out.

However, Sun Maolin, who had just been promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, listened to the angry voices in the house, but walked in with a natural expression.

As soon as he entered the door, he first saw the tea flowing all over the ground, and then he saw the angry nine thousand years old.

"The minister has seen nine thousand years old!"

"See, see you! It's all you bastard that makes this king so embarrassed! ”

Yang Xiuqing scolded like this, raised his foot and kicked Sun Maolin who was kneeling on the ground, and Sun Maolin hurriedly said in panic.

"Nine, nine thousand years old, small, the villain deserves to die, the crime deserves to die......"

Looking at Sun Maolin, who couldn't stop kowtowing, Yang Xiuqing was annoyed again.

"Damn, you deserve to die, if it weren't for you bastard making your own decisions, how would this king be in such a dilemma now!"

Isn't that a dilemma?

The elite soldiers of Jiujiang were not willing to be transferred to the Northern Expedition, and more importantly, the elite soldiers of Jiujiang were his descendants and henchmen, which were completely different from the troops in Yangzhou.

"Tell the king, what should I do now?"

glared at Sun Maolin, although he knew that this person was boneless, but Yang Xiuqing knew that this person would have a few ideas as soon as his eyes rolled, so he told him everything one by one.

"This, this ......"

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Sun Maolin first squeaked and hesitated, and then said.

"Actually, this, this matter is also simple, this, even if this Jiujiang is handed over and handed over to the surname Zhu, it doesn't hurt......"

He tentatively looked at Dongwang's face, and saw that there was not much change on his face, so he knew that this Jiujiang had no meaning to him, and what he cared about was the more than 20,000 elites of Jiujiang.

"However, this transfer of 20,000 elites to the north is indeed a bit overkill, and the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"If there's a fart, let it go!"

Although he is already the king of the East, Yang Xiuqing's body still retains traces of the old times at this time.

"Since the Wing King and the North King both say that Yangzhou is the gateway to Tianjing, it is natural that they cannot but defend it, and in the opinion of the ministers, not only should they be defended, but they should also strengthen the defense, so as not to be taken ......advantage of by the Qing demons."

Before Sun Maolin finished speaking, Yang Xiuqing immediately shouted in surprise.

"Oops! Why didn't this king think of it! ”

But no, Sun Maolin's suggestion only made Yang Xiuqing think of a way to deal with it as if he was suddenly open.

"Then transfer Lin Xiangrong from Jiujiang to Yangzhou, and then ......"

Suddenly, Yang Xiuqing looked at Sun Maolin and said.

"Yuda, do you have any other suggestions?"

"I naturally don't dare to suggest, but nine thousand years old, if someone says that this will transfer Prime Minister Lin's troops to Yangzhou Gonggong, I am afraid that the power will be wasted, what will happen then?"

"This ......"

Isn't that the case, this rescue soldier is like fighting a fire, how can others not see it when he acts like this? Just as Yang Xiuqing was groaning, Sun Maolin said again.

"Actually, in Yichen's view, the solution is also simple, since it is said that it is to give Jiujiang to Wuchang, then it is no longer required to prepare boats, transport reinforcements all the way up the Han River, arrive at Xiangyang into Henan, so that not only can avoid the reinforcements along the way in northern Jiangsu, Anhui Province, but also can make the army quickly reinforce Lin and Li Prime Ministers......"

Sun Maolin's words were followed by another pause, and he said softly.

"Besides, if Wuchang's side refuses, Jiuqian-sui naturally doesn't need to consider transferring Prime Minister Lin's troops anymore! How can they not be deterred by their dissenting intentions? ”

"Yuda, you head......"

Sun Maolin's several suggestions immediately entered Yang Xiuqing's heart, no matter what, his methods can be described as the best of both worlds, not only can protect the elite of his lineage, but also can test the heart of Wuchang's defense in the heavenly kingdom.

"But what if he refuses the king's request?"

Yang Xiuqing further asked, if Wuchang bluntly refused to transport troops, then wouldn't it be his Yang Xiuqing's face that would be torn off at that time?

"Hmph, as long as you give it enough benefits, how can it refuse, besides, nine thousand years old, now in Wuchang, it is the time when the soldiers are strong and strong, and you want to go north, you might as well ...... nine thousand years old"

Saying that, Sun Maolin's voice slightly pressed his suggestion, and his suggestion only made Yang Xiuqing's eyes light up, stroked his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at Sun Maolin and said.

"Yuda, your suggestion is ...... good"

With a sigh, Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment before adding.

"I think it's better for this Jiujiang to be promised to him and show sincerity, what does Yuda think?"

"Nine thousand years old, the minister thought that when the time came, his surname Zhu would naturally only be grateful for the grace of nine thousand years old! Can he not do his best to serve the kingdom of heaven? ”

His sycophant only made Yang Xiuqing burst out laughing, and he only listened to his laughter.

"However, it depends on whether he can get into this trap or not!"

The curtain is about to fall, and on this day, a ban will be implemented in the capital, but ordinary soldiers and civilians are not allowed to leave the camp at one time, and those who walk through the streets will be beheaded!

However, this means that only ordinary soldiers and civilians can be restrained, but for the officials and generals of various provinces, it has no meaning, just like for Sun Maolin, the left attendant of the East Hall Rite Department of the East Palace, such a ban has no effect on him at all, and even in the case of Tianjing not being allowed to set up a private house, he, an official of the East Palace, has a house of his own in Tianjing.

As soon as he returned to the house, Sun Maolin wrote a letter on the table, the letter was written on the inside of the folded envelope, and the ink used was not ink, but ordinary rice soup, which he wrote in accordance with the way he learned to write secret letters in Wuchang, and when the rice soup dried, there was no handwriting on the paper, and only some iodine wine was poured to make the handwriting visible.

Although this method seems simple, almost no one knows about it - not to mention that apart from him, it is difficult to find such a foreign thing as iodine wine in the whole of Tianjing, that is, the bottle of iodine wine, which he brought back from Wuchang and is specially used to write secret letters.

When writing this letter, Sun Maolin seemed a little proud, perhaps to the outside world, the proposal to hand over Jiujiang to the righteous army came from Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui, but in fact it was from Sun Maolin's hand, it was a few days ago when he met privately with Wei Changhui's subordinates, and passed it on to Wei Changhui's ears through that person's mouth, and finally used by Wei Changhui, so that the righteous army got Jiujiang out of thin air.

And this is exactly what he needs to achieve -- not only to relieve his pressure on Hubei, but also to enable Hubei to control Jiujiang, so as to form a force pressure on Jiangxi, no matter how the Taiping army advances in Jiangxi in the future, as long as the righteous army can master Jiujiang, it is equivalent to mastering the gateway to Jiangxi.

But this was not the whole of his letter, which was more of a suggestion that he had made to the king of the East in the afternoon, that Xu Taiping's army should go north through the Han River to reinforce the Northern Expeditionary Army.

For others, this may undoubtedly be allowing others to enter the place of confidants, but in Sun Maolin's eyes, this is an opportunity, but he needs to explain it in the letter, so that he can make his thoughts clear, so as not to cause misunderstandings, and of course, more importantly, he needs to persuade the Metropolitan Governor to accept the "order" of the East King.

After the letter was written, Sun Maolin shouted outside the study.

"Chunsheng, come in!"

His words fell, and a Taiping soldier walked in outside the door, his appearance was a young man, and his appearance only seemed extremely charming, if he didn't know, he might only think that he was like other people pretending to be a man, but he didn't know that in this private house, this left waiter of the Ministry of Rites was still Jin Jiao secretly hiding a woman in the house, and this woman was the woman he rescued from the women's hall when he first entered the city, this woman was not an ordinary person, but the daughter of his original teacher. It is precisely because of this that he will not hesitate to take this risk, rescue her from the women's hall, and hide her at home.

As for this "Chunsheng", it's just her pseudonym.

"What do you command?"

Chunsheng, who was dressed in the men's clothes of the Taiping Army, said respectfully.

"You clean up, in the next two days, you will prepare to leave Tianjing!"

Although there is some reluctance in my heart, in this Tianjing, there is always a precarious situation, in case someone takes advantage of his absence to break into the "home" and finds Chunsheng, then she is very likely to reveal her identity, and even Sun Maolin himself is dead and has no place to be buried.

She listened to Sun Maolin's words, and then said.

"Senior brother, am I the only one leaving? What should you do, my lord? ”

"I ...... Stay here for now, but you need to get out of here, after all, ......"

As he spoke, Sun Maolin raised his head, looked at Chunsheng, who was only a teenager, and said.

"At the beginning, for the teacher, the senior brother was the official of the East Palace, but he was also powerless, and he could only watch him be harmed, but now no matter what, I have to save the life of the senior sister, you just have to rest assured to go to Wuchang, then the governor of the Wuchang Righteous Army and I are friends, and he will definitely protect you!"

This is the reason why Sun Maolin let his junior sister go to Wuchang, now that he is in such a dangerous situation, he naturally doesn't want anyone around him to tie him up, and after sending his junior sister away, he won't have any worries.

"If Senior Brother doesn't go, I won't go either!"

The junior sister's refusal made Sun Maolin quickly shake his head and say.

"Confused, now I finally have the opportunity to leave this place, you don't hurry up, if you stay here for one more day, I will take the risk of one day, then the Ding Dynasty of the Northern Palace, isn't it because of the private possession of women, and the body of the five horses is divided? And ......"

Looking at Chunsheng's delicate appearance, Sun Maolin said earnestly and persuasively.

"Senior sister, besides, I asked you to go to Wuchang, and there is one more thing that you have to do without your hands! There's a letter here, and you're going to have to hand it over to the Duke, you know? (To be continued.) )
