Shi Dakai looked up at the soldiers who rushed in. shouted: "Panic, what kind of system? ”

The soldier bowed his head and said, "The villain is guilty!" Please punish the prince! ”

Shi Dakai's face softened slightly, and he was very satisfied with the soldier's confession. He didn't pursue it, but changed his words and asked, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

The soldier said: "Someone from Tianjing came and said that there is something important to inform the prince. The soldier also had a panicked expression on his face as he spoke, apparently knowing the specific thing through the people who had come to meet Shi Dakai.

"Xuan!"

Shi Dakai waved his hand and immediately summoned him.

When the soldier received the order, he turned around and went to convey the order. A short time later, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes and a tired face ran in. When the middle-aged man saw Shi Dakai, he knelt on the ground with a plop and cried: "Lord Wang, help!" ”

Shi Dakai said: "What's going on, tell me slowly." ”

The middle-aged man said eagerly: "There was a mutiny in Tianjing, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, led a large army to surround the Dongwang Mansion and slaughtered all the old and young people in the Dongwang Mansion. None of the people in the entire East Palace, survived, and all died in this mutiny. ”

Shi Dakai opened his mouth, and his expression suddenly froze.

This news is so sudden!

After a long while, Shi Dakai recovered and asked, "Are you sure the news is true?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Lord Wang, the news is absolutely true, this matter has spread all over Tianjing, and all the people know that the East King was killed, and the East King was also charged with rebellion." Not only that, Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang also falsely preached the holy decree of the Heavenly King in order to completely eradicate the subordinates and officials under the command of the Eastern King. ”

The two joined forces to act, saying that the East King was plotting rebellion, but the East King's generals and officials should not be killed. The two used this order to stabilize the generals and officials of the Eastern King, and then sent an order that the Heavenly King thought that Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang had killed innocents indiscriminately, and would be punished with four hundred rods as a warning, but the officials and generals of the Eastern King had to go to watch. ”

"There were more than 5,000 officials and generals under the command of the East King, and these people all went to watch after receiving the order. At the time of the execution, Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang also chose to fight and deceived everyone in order to deceive the officials under the command of Dongwang. ”

"After that, the two deceived all the 5,000 officials into two large houses."

At this time, Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang suddenly turned their faces, ambushed all the troops, and wiped out more than 5,000 people. Now, all the officials and generals subordinate to the Eastern King have been killed, plus the families of the officials who have been implicated, and the continuous killings have caused tens of thousands of deaths. Prince, if you don't return to Tianjing, the court will be in chaos, please preside over the overall situation! ”

The middle-aged man was crying and crying, and he was extremely sad.

After Shi Dakai listened, he was also stunned, stunned and did not speak.

Yang Xiuqing is dead!

More than 5,000 officials in the DPRK and China have died, and countless civilians have been implicated. This kind of practice will definitely cause a huge shock. Not only that, the officials under Yang Xiuqing's command were all middle and senior officials in the court, and they were the backbone of the imperial court.

Shi Dakai said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" How did you escape? ”

The middle-aged man immediately explained: "Caomin is a family member of the general Ruan Sandao, and he was not at home at the time, so he survived. After returning home, he learned that his family was killed, so he rushed to see the prince, hoping that the prince would uphold justice. Lord Wang, Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang are messing with the dynasty and can't continue! ”

Shi Dakai looked serious and said, "This king knows, you go down first." ”

"The grass people obey!"

The middle-aged man went down, leaving Shi Dakai alone to ponder in the tent.

Now, the war has not progressed, and the DPRK and China have encountered chaos again, and he suddenly feels that his head is big. Shi Dakai was not a hesitant person, he quickly made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "Someone!" ”

As the words fell, a soldier walked in.

Shi Dakai ordered: "The order will go down, and the army will set off and return to Tianjing." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately went to give the order, and Shi Dakai also got up and left the camp. He stood in the camp, looking in the direction of the Jiangbei camp, his eyes full of melancholy. Although this battle is undefeated, it is equivalent to defeat!

……

Beijing City, Shangshu Mansion.

In a flash, it has been more than a month since Li Zhen came back.

The time has come to the end of October of the fifth year of Xianfeng. During his time in Beijing, Li Zhen spent most of his time with Zhilan and her two children, and spent a few days visiting some officials or receiving visitors. Moreover, Li Zhen once went to visit Zuo Zongtang, and Zuo Zongtang also came to visit several times, and talked with Li Zhen very happily, and the relationship between the two has skyrocketed and they have become friends.

On this day, the house was bustling with activity, and the full moon wine for the two children was being prepared.

Almost all the officials of the court and the central government came to participate, and not only that, but the emperor also sent Han Laiyu as a representative to personally congratulate Li Zhen's child. After a busy day, in the evening, Shangshufu gradually quieted down. In the backyard, Li Zhen, Zhilan and two children lying in the cradle form a harmonious picture.

"Bang! Bang! ”

Outside the room, there was a soft knock on the door.

Li Zhen got up to open the door, only to see a serious looking Long Xi standing outside the door, and Long Xi nodded slightly. Li Zhen knew that something was happening, turned around and went back to tell Zhilan, then left the room and came to the study with Long Xi.

In the study, Li Zhen asked, "Brother Long, is there any news?" ”

Long Xi said: "Dashuai, there is news from the Jiangbei camp that Yang Xiuqing was killed by Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang. Now that the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has changed greatly, please make a decision. ”

Li Zhen thought about it carefully and said: "Yang Xiuqing is dead, and the vitality of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is greatly damaged, which is indeed a big deal. Brother Long, you go and prepare, and be ready to leave Beijing at any time. Early tomorrow morning, I will go into the palace to meet the emperor. ”

Long Yu said, "What about the lady and the child? ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "If Zhilan and the child are taken away, can Xianfeng rest assured?" For the time being, I can only let them stay, and I will take them out, but not now. ”

Long Xi nodded and walked out of the study with Li Zhen.

Early the next morning, Li Zhen changed into his official uniform, left Shangshu Mansion in a carriage, and ran towards the Forbidden City. Perhaps meeting the emperor was a difficult thing for ordinary officials, but for Li Zhen, he was already a frequent visitor, and no one dared to stop him. Li Zhen easily entered the palace, but he still saw Xianfeng in Chuxiu Palace.

Xianfeng seems to be extremely afraid of the cold, and he has already dressed thick in October and wrapped himself into a zongzi. Xianfeng asked: "Aiqing, today is the day of your child's full moon, why did you suddenly come to the palace?" ”

Li Zhen said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the minister got the news from the camp in Jiangbei, so he specially came to report to the emperor. At the same time, the minister received the emperor's favor and took it in the capital for more than a month, and he was already satisfied. There had been a war before, and the minister was ready to go to supervise the war. ”

"Oh, what's going on on at the front?"

Xianfeng's body leaned forward slightly, with a soft smile on his face, and at this moment, Xianfeng's heart was happy.

The reason is that Li Zhen took the initiative to bring it up, so he thinks that the effect of his entrapment of Li Zhen has been reflected, and he feels that his efforts have been rewarded.
