Chapter 693: Qin sent an envoy to come

Xuzhou.

The news of the civil unrest in the south of the Yangtze River reached the north of the Yangtze River, and the people's hearts fluctuated. Many businessmen who went to Jiangnan to do business and Hu merchants from the Western Regions also changed their itinerary temporarily, staying in Xuzhou for the time being and waiting to wait and see.

Li Tong, the king of Ding, stood on the tall and majestic city gate tower in Xuzhou, looking at the direction of the south of the Yangtze River, the official road where there was an endless stream of business and travel was sparsely populated, and although the heaven and earth were green, it showed a bit of depression.

Li Tong frowned, knowing that this was not the best time for the marriage team to go to Jiangning. It's not that he is afraid of civil unrest, but he guesses that Kong Sheng should be busy quelling the chaos and stabilizing the situation in Jiangnan now, and I'm afraid he doesn't have the time or opportunity to complete the wedding.

In this case, since Sister Ji Guo's body is still sick, it is better to stay in Xuzhou for a few days and see how the situation changes.

But Ji Guo was so anxious that he couldn't fly to Jiangning one day to reunite with Kong Sheng. It's just that this trip is mainly based on Li Tong, the king of Ding, as Mrs. Ji Guo who was given marriage, she can't be too eager, so as not to fall into the hands of others.

In this way, it was delayed for another five or six days, and when he heard that the news came from the south of the Yangtze River that the civil unrest had been quelled, and the thief leader Yuan Ying and others had been arrested, Li Tong gave the order to go down, and the team left Xuzhou City in a mighty way and went in the direction of Jiangnan. However, the team had not yet crossed the river, and Li Tong received another report, saying that the envoy sent by the imperial court to Jiangnan to announce the decree had crossed the river a day ago and was ahead of them. At the same time, I got the news that the emperor was ill and the crown prince Li Yu returned to Chang'an.

Li Tong frowned, his deep gaze was projected at the ferry, the local officials of the local government were bringing a large number of people to prepare a ferry for them to salute, as the emperor's own prince, prince, and although there was no princess name of the emperor's daughter, the local officials were careful not to be a little lazy.

Li Tong said in his heart: "The people in Jiangnan are in turmoil, I'm afraid that my father will be angry with Kong Sheng because of this, if ...... The crown prince obviously won't let go of this kind of opportunity, right? And the person who passed the edict was Feng Qi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was the prince's henchman, and this person went to Jiangnan...... Kong Sheng is in danger! ”

Li Yu actually returned to Chang'an...... My father is really still a woman's kindness...... Kong Sheng is not in Chang'an, I am afraid that there is no one in Chang'an who can compete with Li Yu, and his father does this without considering the consequences at all. ”

Li Tong pondered for a long time, and did not give the order to cross the river for a long time.

Ji Guo was waiting a little impatiently in the car, and couldn't help but poke his head out of the curtain, revealing his bright eyes and delicate face, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, don't you hurry up and cross the river?" ”

Li Tong glanced at Ji Guo and smiled reluctantly: "Sister Ji Guo, don't be impatient." Today's wind and waves are urgent, so I don't think it's better to talk about it tomorrow. ”

Ji Guo was stunned, looked up at the sky, and raised his eyebrows. This day is blue and cloudless, and the river is even calmer, where does the wind and waves come from? Isn't that? This kid doesn't know what the hell he wants to do, and he is delaying all the way, could it be that he has a ghost in his heart?

Ji Guo is a straightforward person, and she is not informal, and she no longer has the title of princess, so she simply jumped off the sedan chair, regardless of the maid's obstruction, and ran over and said dissatisfiedly: "Little brother, the weather is very good, what do you want to do if you don't cross the river?" So many of us, stay overnight at the ferry? While it was still early, I crossed the river and arrived in Jiangning in less than two days. ”

Li Tong smiled bitterly in his heart, but said calmly: "Sister Ji Guo, there is still a long way to go to Jiangning, and I am not in a hurry to do it in the next day or two." I'm mainly worried about my sister's health, this river is different from the land, so I'd better wait for tomorrow morning to make a trip. ”

Li Tong waved his hand and strode over, he didn't want to talk to Ji Guo anymore.

Ji Guo frowned and looked at the back of the young Li Tong who was far away, this trip from Chang'an, she suddenly found that Li Tong, the younger brother she didn't pay much attention to in the past, was definitely the most inconspicuous one among the princes, and the queen's biological son turned out to be silent and low-key in Beijing, and became mature and capable, and quite assertive.

Li Tong took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the emperor's marriage envoy this time, which was originally the best opportunity to befriend Kong Sheng, but if Kong Sheng fell out of favor because of the civil unrest in Jiangnan, he would have to reconsider his political leanings. He wanted to delay for a few days, just to see the movement in Jiangnan. If everything is his speculation and not reality, it is not too late to go to Jiangning again.

If Kong Sheng is dismissed, he will be given a marriage. He had to consider whether to send someone back to Chang'an to ask for the emperor's opinion, and then decide.

Jiangning.

Liu Pingshan, the warden of Jiangning County, led the officials of the city to greet the imperial envoy at the gate of the city, Feng Qi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. As early as the day before Feng Qi came, the imperial court and the Ministry of War ordered Jiangnan to deal with the 800-mile urgent order of Yang Qi to lead the army to quell the chaos had been transmitted to the Yang Mansion, but Yang Qi felt very funny, the Deqing civil rebellion had been pacified, and the official military report from Jiangnan to Chang'an did not seem to have reached Chang'an.

Feng Qi was also in a hurry. As a civil official, he was able to gallop thousands of miles from Chang'an to Jiangning in just a few days, and his body had reached the limit of what he could bear. But with the emperor's order and the prince's order in his body, he didn't dare to slack off.

Because Feng Qi's rank was lower than Yang Qi's, Yang Qi, as the town of Jiangnan Domain, and the three divisions of the Qin's order to open the mansion, naturally would not go out of the city to greet Feng Qi, even though he was a Qincha. As for Kong Sheng, not to mention.

In the county king's mansion, Kong Sheng was still lying in the courtyard on the semi-automatic recliner he invented, lazily basking in the sun, looking light and breezy. Wu Xian was a little impatient, he kept wandering around Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng frowned, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Wu Xian, you are uneasy, why did you come?" ”

"The imperial court ordered Yang to quell the rebellion, and the military order arrived a day ago. Today, His Majesty's envoy Feng Qi has also arrived, and it is estimated that he has arrived at Yang Envoy's mansion at this moment. Wu Xian lowered his voice and said, "County King, we ......"

Kong Sheng waved his hand: "So what?" ”

"King of the county, I recently heard that many of the big families of the Jiangnan family sent people to Chang'an to sue the king of the county...... This Feng Qi is the prince's person, His Majesty sent him, and the last general is worried...... "Wu Xian is hesitant.

There were some things he couldn't say and didn't dare to say clearly.

Kong Sheng couldn't help laughing, raised his finger and pointed at Wu Xian and said, "I didn't expect you, a rough man, to have a bit of political sensitivity." What about the prince's people? What are you afraid of? Just wait and see! ”

Kong Sheng also got the news of the old emperor's serious illness and Li Yu's return to Beijing from someone from Chang'an, as well as the fact that many wealthy families from Jiangnan families entered Beijing to sue the emperor, which made him draw inferences and quickly came to a basic judgment in his heart - with his understanding of Li Yu, Li Yu would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to hit him, and Song Ning's side did not move for a long time, which seemed even more suspicious.

It seems that the backer standing behind Song Ning turned out to be the East Palace! No wonder. No wonder Song Ning has been able to monopolize the fat difference of Jiangnan Yancao for many years, and he is still powerful in Jiangnan, and even Yang Qi has never really taken it seriously. With the support of the current prince of the East Palace, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in the past, and Li Yu, the king of Chu, what else is Song Ning afraid of?

But...... There is the East Palace standing behind you, so someone Kong doesn't dare to touch your Song family? Kong Sheng sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu is even right for Li Yu, not to mention that you are a small Jiangnan Yancao official.
