Li Yu's family has not yet walked out of this secluded mansion, they met a team of patrolling soldiers, Li Yu and others' escape plan also failed, in the end they still failed to escape from this house, after the guards of the Song State reported to the officials in Yangzhou, they sent heavy troops to guard here, because across the Yangtze River, south of Runzhou is Runzhou, for fear that after Runzhou Lin Renzhao learned the news, he would secretly send someone to Yangzhou to rob Li Yu and others, Li Yu, Lady and others just smiled helplessly, and continued to live the days of being imprisoned.

Soon after, Kaifeng's edict had arrived in Yangzhou at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin sent envoys to ask Li Yu to enter the court, and now Li Yu happened to be in Yangzhou, so he had to accept Zhao Kuangyin's request, the Song envoys were already waiting for Li Yu's family to get on the ship in Yangzhou, and the ship set sail from Yangzhou and went east along the Yangtze River waterway.

Then Zhao Dezhao in Jinling City knew about it, Li Yu and others went north to the Great Song Dynasty is a good thing, Zhao Dezhao did not pay attention to Li Congqing, the king of Qi who was close at hand, but it was Lin Renzhao in Runzhou who had always been the focus of Zhao Dezhao's attention, as soon as the fuse in Runzhou was ignited, the whole situation began to surge, so Runzhou was the top priority, and as soon as the civil war of the Tang Kingdom began, it was when the Song army went south.

The newly arrived Wang Pu, Cao Bin and others in the protocol courtyard have been asking about the whereabouts of the King of Wei in the Tang court, which made Li Congqing even more headache, Wang Pu and Cao Bin did not lag behind, and went to Zhongshu Province and other departments every day to inquire about the whereabouts of the King of Wei, making it look like the King of Wei was missing and could not be found, and the Song State sent troops south.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty's navy made Hao Shourong's warships patrol the waterway north of Jiangning Mansion, beating drums every day, and the ships marched together, making a faction to go south.

Qi Wangfu, Li Congqing has a lot of big and small things, especially the Lin Renzhao in Runzhou, who has always been a thorn in Li Congqing's back, according to Lin Renzhao's loyal and patriotic nature, he was afraid that Lin Renzhao would lead the army to attack Jinling City one day.

It's just that General Wang, who has been a confidant in the past few days, can't afford to be ill, lying on the hospital bed, it seems that he is about to die, Li Congqing has been relying on this Wang General all these years, and suddenly he feels like he is about to lose a backbone, Wang Counselor General suggested that Li Congqing make friends with the generals, and properly link them together with interests, and collect the soldiers and horses that Tang Guo can mobilize in his own hands, rather than in the hands of those civil officials in the Privy Council.

For this matter, Li Congqing summoned some Jiedu envoys stationed in Jinling and various places as a prisoner, and some Jiedu envoys understood that the next lord of the country was the king of Qi in front of him.

Among these generals are the guards Du Yu Hou Liu Cheng, the Divine Guard Du Yu Marquis Zhu Lingyun, the Zhan Di Du Yu Marquis Wang Hui, the Tiande Du Yu Marquis Du Zhen, etc., they know that Li Congqing, the king of Qi, is now the supervisor of the Tang State, and there will be no changes in the future, that is, the king of a country in the Tang Dynasty, and these people basically support their prison country, and they don't know that Li Yu is not dead.

Li Congqing saw that the generals and commanders of these naval forces, infantry, and horsemen were standing beside him, and he was also a lot more relieved.

Tokyo City has been making preparations, since the attack on Shu, the Privy Council staff in various places of the secret agents organized into a Great Song spy network, at this moment also in the southern territory of the military intelligence to Kaifeng Zhao Kuangyin.

Since the night and Zhao Dezhao informed Zhao Kuangyin of this matter, Zhao Kuangyin on the one hand asked the generals in the Song State to lead the forbidden army to wait on the border of the Song and Tang Dynasties, step up the training of soldiers and horses, grain and grass materials, etc., he was waiting for Lin Renzhao to send troops to Jinling City under the banner of the generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment in Runzhou, Lin Renzhao since he learned the news that the lord Li Yu was not dead, he began to recruit troops with the assistance of Wu Yongzi and others.

Chen Qiao went to the Privy Council to understand the situation in the past few days, but this is basically the official rhetoric of some Tang Jinling City, as for what is in private, he still plans to personally write to Runzhou to ask Lin Renzhao.

…… Later, Lin Renzhao also received a letter from Chen Qiao in Jinling City, Chen Qiao only asked Lin Renzhao about the ins and outs of this matter in the letter, and after Lin Renzhao read it, he immediately wrote a letter and wrote everything on these letters, and the person who sent the letter immediately rushed to Jinling City.

Later, after Chen Qiao received Lin Renzhao's letter, he somewhat understood why Lin Renzhao acted like this, but the content of the letter made him a little unbelievable, it seemed that Li Congqing was hypocritical enough to deceive those officials in Jinling City.

In just half a day, everyone inside and outside Runzhou City knew that Li Congqing, the king of Qi, had forged the news of Li Yu's death for the throne.

It's just that Jinling and Runzhou are very close to each other, this battle is fought, where the battlefield should be chosen, and at present, Lin Renzhao is recruiting troops and horses near Runzhou with the generalissimo of the Tang State, under the banner of the Qing monarch's side.

That night, the news that Lin Renzhao of Runzhou was assassinated by the assassin shook the entire Runzhou city inside and outside, and during the interrogation, it was learned that the assassin was sent by Li Congqing, the king of Qi, Lin Renzhao became more and more angry.

In the candle-lit Runzhou Mansion, the generals from all over the country are discussing the matter of sending troops, and at the moment these troops add up to about 50,000 or 60,000, but in advance, who is the vanguard, who is in charge of the grain and grass scheduling, and who is arranged, these are all planned.

Jinling City, Runzhou's document has been notified and reported to Jinling City, and the Privy Council's Runzhou Song Shu has also seen it, Chen Qiao is sitting in the Privy Council, he already knows about this matter, but Li Congqing's side is still whitewashing this matter, and he plans to leave it all out for the matter of Li Yu, the lord of the country.

Chen Qiao sat on the side, looking at Li Congqing playfully, Li Congqing's anxious look, the more he looked at it, the more disgusting he felt, but now was not the time to expose his true face, he believed that one day, Li Congqing should get the punishment he deserved, so he planned to stay in Jinling City and secretly help Lin Renzhao.

As a prisoner, Li Congqing did not admit the matter, but tried his best to cover up the truth of the matter, and after the other important ministers of the Privy Council saw it, they also felt that this matter was surprised, but Li Congqing was a prisoner after all, and as a courtier, he should stand on the side of the prisoner.

Li Congqing was already much calmer than the previous times, he was confident that he already had an army to deal with Lin Renzhao, but the previous time he sent someone to Runzhou to assassinate Lin Renzhao was unsuccessful, and the assassin instead found out the assassination by Lin Renzhao, which became an excuse for Lin Renzhao to start an incident.

At this time, an official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly came from outside, and he was out of breath and said: "Prison country, the imperial mausoleum in Zhongshan has been almost built, according to the etiquette, it is time for the lord of the country to be buried. ”

"Oh, is it, tomorrow, in such a hurry?" Li Congqing turned his head, looked at Chen Qiao and said, "Bachelor Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Qiao was still thinking about things, and suddenly heard Li Congqing calling him, but he didn't hear it, but he was stunned for a moment and said, "Jianguo, what's wrong?" ”

Li Congqing asked rhetorically: "Why does Bachelor Chen look absent-minded, do you think that this king is not capable of dealing with the affairs of Runzhou?" ”

Chen Qiao said: "Prison country, the old man really didn't hear it, but the matter of Runzhou, the court has its own decision, and the prison country also has a plan, right?" ”

"Bachelor Chen, it's not a matter of Runzhou, but the lord of the country, Zi Palace, is still in the palace, Si Tianjian has already calculated the day, tomorrow is an auspicious day, what does Bachelor Chen think?" Li Congqing told Fang Cai about it.

Chen Qiao said: "This matter should be discussed with other ministers, tomorrow will be here in the blink of an eye, at this juncture, the prison country should be discussed with the minister, this matter is cumbersome, and the prison country alone can't deal with it." ”

Li Congqing felt that his words were like hitting cotton, and they bounced back lightly, and Chen Qiao spoke like this, feeling that he didn't take it to heart.

"Prison country, the old man has always spoken like this, if the prison country doesn't want to listen to good words, then the old man will leave first." Chen Qiao bowed his hand and said to Li Congqing, the atmosphere in the Privy Council suddenly became quiet, and several other governors looked at Chen Qiao, and they also felt incredible.

"Prison country, the old man is a little tired today, please take a step first." Chen Qiao sighed and shook his head.

Li Congqing watched Chen Qiao leave, angry and angry, and when Chen Qiao walked away, he picked up a pot of tea from the table and fell directly to the ground.

"Jian Guo is angry, this Chen Ziqiao (Chen Qiao's character) has always been such a person?" The official beside him persuaded.

"Who is this Chen Qiao for?" Li Congqing said angrily, "He is relying on his official position to compete with this king." ”

……

South of Jinling City

Erdan and the villagers also live here, and the villagers also plan to find a job, although this place is close to the underworld shop, it feels eerie, but in Erdan's opinion, it is already very good.

And on the other street, in the underworld shop, Ghost Sorrow and Changchun Hall have also received news from Runzhou, and Zhao Dezhao feels that the speed of burning this fuse is also about to strengthen, and it will come almost immediately.

This is the rhythm before the storm, Zhao Dezhao feels that the dark clouds on the horizon have gathered more and more, and if it goes on like this, a heavy rain is coming.

ps. The five dynasties of China and the Northern Song Dynasty had the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.
