Chapter 114: Something Happened in the Northwest
The moment Feng Suqin saw Xu Liang, ignoring the dozen or so people present, she threw herself on Xu Liang and cried. The warm tears were like the water of a river bursting the embankment, and Xu Liang soon saw no dry place on his chest.
Although he is a beauty, Xu Liang endures the pain at the moment. He patted Feng Suqin lightly, and soothed the cool air: "Okay, okay, don't cry, Xianggong, didn't I come back well." ”
When Feng Suqin heard this, she cried even more sadly, as if she wanted to vent all the hardships she had suffered in the past month, and there would be no signs of stopping for a while.
Xing Zhongshan, Dai Feng, Tie Siye, Tie Tou, Dai Yingying and other more than a dozen people awkwardly accompanied aside, neither to leave nor to stay. In the end, it was the eldest girl Huan Chun'er who stepped forward, helped Feng Suqin up and said, "Young lady, the young master is injured, beware of the wound." ”
Feng Suqin suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly got up and carefully checked Xu Liang's wounds up and down, and saw that Xu Liang's head was covered with a white cloth, and his buttocks were also wrapped in a thick layer of cloth on the bed, his face was blue and swollen.
The others were free, and they came forward to salute each other, and greeted each other for a while, and when they saw Feng Suqin guarding the side like a calf, they retreated with interest.
When only Feng Suqin and Yahuan Chun'er were left in the house, Feng Suqin had to untie the gauze to check the wound. Xu Liang was afraid that he would be sad when he saw it, so he stopped: "Don't look at it, I just used medicine." It's still a good wound medicine in the hospital, and it's fine after a few days of rest. ”
Feng Suqin stopped her hand and asked in surprise: "How can Xianggong have the injury medicine of the Tai Hospital?" ”
Xu Liang thought of Wang Chengen, who gave medicine, and said the relationship between Wang Chengen and Wang Xian with a smile. The two sighed for a while.
The next day, Ge Qiao, who had originally prepared a sea boat on the shore of Weihai in Tianjin, was ready to respond, rushed to the whole world. Come and see Xu Liang. I was also overjoyed to hear that the emperor had pardoned Xu Liang's crimes. After chatting for a while, he asked Xu Liang about his plans for the future.
Xu Liang was still groaning. Feng Suqin said: "Xianggong, we can't stay in this capital any longer." In a few days, your injuries will be better, so let's use Ge Lao's boat to take the waterway and return to Jiangnan as soon as possible. Whether you go to Jianchang or somewhere else, this capital is too dangerous. ”
Xu Liang shook his head, glared at Feng Suqin and said, "Then what is it?" I suffered so much for no reason, and I spent nearly 100,000 taels of silver to settle the relationship, and now I have been expelled from the Xu family. Wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't have some benefits? ”
"However, Zhao of the Han Wangfu will always be in the capital, if he beats people to find our trouble, with the power of the Han Wangfu, we can't fight him." Feng Suqin hurriedly persuaded.
Thinking that this qiē was all a ghost of the Han Wangfu, Xu Liang suddenly became angry, and scolded angrily: "The Han Wangfu on the dog day, I, Xu Liang, are incompatible with him. ”
Ge Qiao also followed suit: "My lord, the Han Wangfu has been sealed for hundreds of years, and the power and connections are unfathomable. At the moment, our strength is not good, so it is best to avoid its edge for the time being, and find an opportunity to take revenge in the future. ”
Xu Liang furrowed his brows and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Ge Qiao and Feng Suqin were both looking at themselves with hopeful expressions, they exhaled turbidity, and nodded slowly: "It's okay, there is a way that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." In this case, let's stay in Beijing for a few more days, and when I'm better, we'll go back to Zhenyuan. ”
The effect of the wound medicine given by Wang Chengen is really good. After two days of medication, the wound scabbed, and another four or five days passed. The wounds everywhere are almost healed.
Xu Liang changed into brand new clothes early in the morning and led Feng Suqin to visit Wang Xian's mansion in Langzhong. Thank you to him for his great efforts to save him during his own trouble, of course. The main thing is to deepen the relationship with Wang Xian.
Just kidding, Wang Xian has Wang Chengen, a big celebrity in front of the emperor, as a relative, and Xu Liang's unbearable stuttering is strange.
Wang Xian was naturally very close to Xu Liang when he saw him, beckoned Xu Liang to sit down, and invited his wife and children out to meet Xu Liang. The two families exchanged pleasantries, and Mrs. Wang led Feng Suqin into the inner courtyard, and only two big men left in the hall, Xu Liang and Wang Xian.
Xu Liang said with emotion: "Brother Wang, the road knows the horsepower, and the hearts of the people will be seen over time." Brother, I escaped death this time, but I really saw the warmth and coldness of the world. ”
Wang Xian said: "If my brother does not die, there will be a blessing in the future." ”
Xu Liang said: "This time, brother, I can still sit here and talk with Brother Wang, and Wang Chengen's father-in-law in the palace has said a lot of good things for me." With a little heart, I also asked Brother Wang to transfer it to the prince for me. Xu Liang said, handing a thick stack of silver tickets wrapped in envelopes to Wang Xian.
Wang Xian glanced at the thickness of the envelope, and said with a smile: "Brother is really polite, alas, since it is for the prince, don't worry, brother, I will definitely deliver the gift." ”
"Haha, thank you." Xu Liang arched his hand and smiled: "Now that Brother Wang is in an important position in the center, you have to take more care of your brother." ”
"Definitely, definitely, haha, Brother Xu, come and drink."
After thanking Wang Xian, Xu Liang personally went to the Jinyi Guard to command Luo Yangxing's mansion to thank him, of course, Xu Changqing, a thousand households of the Jinyi Guard, and those familiar Jinyi Wei captains also had a generous gift.
Two days later, Xu Liang arranged things properly, went to the Ministry of Officials, and asked for the approval of reinstatement. Thanks to Wang Xian's help, this batch of documents came with no effort.
Xu Liang easily walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and was about to go back to his house, when he saw the eunuch Wang Chengen running over with two little eunuchs in a hurry.
Xu Liang greeted in surprise: "Princess, Xu Liang has seen Princess-in-law." ”
When Wang Chengen arrived in front of Xu Liang, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, pulled Xu Liang and left.
"Hey, father-in-law, what are you doing here?" Xu Liang asked as he followed.
"Oh, my Lord Xu, you still have the kung fu to wander around on this street, our family is dying in a hurry to find you." Wang Gonggong didn't stop and said urgently.
"What are you looking for me to do?"
"Your Majesty is waiting to summon you in the Qianqing Palace!"
Xu Liang was stunned suddenly, and hurriedly asked the reason, Wang Chengen said while walking, he was in a hurry, and he was not fast, and when he was about to walk to the noon gate, he finally explained the consequences of this former kindness clearly.
Something happened in the Northwest!
Not long after Xu Liang was escorted to the capital, Wang Tiqian, the stall head of Dongchang who stayed in Shaanxi, did not know where to get the hiding place of the fourth lady Li Ting, and he was overjoyed to personally bring the soldiers and horses of Anton Zhongwei, and transferred 2,000 soldiers from Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, and rushed to encircle and suppress them, and rushed into the enemy's encirclement. This battle was fought so hard that after Wang Tiqian threw off his armor and broke out of the encirclement, there were less than 1,000 soldiers around him, and the rest died in the encirclement. Afterwards, according to the trilateral governor Wu Zhiwang's 800-mile urgent report to the court, the thieves went to Tianlong, crossed the sky, Shen Yikui, Wang Zuogui and the fourth lady Li Ting and other thieves joined forces, nearly 100,000 horses besieged Wang Tiqian, more than a dozen people beat one person, and it was fortunate that the prince could pick a life and come back.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this letter, he was so angry that he lifted the desk.
However, this is not the strictest zhòng. Ten days later, Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi and the prefect of Pingliang, jointly signed a letter, and Pingliang was in a hurry! The above-mentioned gang of thieves took advantage of the emptiness of the garrison in Pingliang Mansion to attack Pingliang in a grand manner, treating the Guyuan Governor's Mansion as nothing.
At that time, there were less than 2,000 defenders in Pingliang Mansion, and it was absolutely impossible to defend it by relying on these people alone. However, the governor's palace could not draw many reinforcements, and the guerrilla general Li Ying led 2,000 troops to aid Pingliang, but as soon as the battle began, he was killed by the thieves and retreated.
But it doesn't matter, there are still soldiers in Qingyang Mansion next door, and the Qingyang garrison reappointed He Renlong as the garrison general in Wuzhiwang, and after two months of military salaries, he has returned to the arms of the court and no longer makes trouble.
There were no less than 5,000 people in the Qingyang garrison, but after the garrison general He Renlong received the order of Governor Wu to rush to Pingliang, he scoffed and reported that Qingyang also had a large number of thieves out of the border, and the war was tense and he couldn't get out, so he asked Governor Wu to find another way.
Two days later, Pingliang was captured, and officials at all levels in Pingliang City, except for a few who escaped from the city, were all killed in battle. Governor Hong's Mansion happened to be in the Guyuan Governor's Mansion and escaped.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Chongzhen not only lifted the table, but also smashed everything that could be easily reached around him. After smashing it, the emperor, who was blushing, summoned his ministers to discuss ways to quell the chaos.
However, the situation in the northwest is basically clear to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and no one wants to come forward and go to Pingliang to clean up the mess.
The angry Emperor Chongzhen somehow thought of Xu Liang, the Zhenyuan Zhixian Xu Liang who was in the Qianqing Palace in order to prove his loyalty, and hit his head against the pillar. Then he sent someone to summon Xu Liang into the palace.
After Xu Liang figured out the cause and effect, his scalp was a little numb. Pingliang's situation, although he has not seen it in person, but the city captured by nearly 100,000 thieves, just imagination knows how bad the situation is, it is estimated that even if he spends a lot of effort to recover Pingliang from the thieves, he will only take back an empty city, except for a few broken city walls on all sides, there is nothing left.
Wang Chengen led Xu Liang into the Jinluan Palace, and the black-pressed ministers in the palace focused their eyes on Xu Liang, who was dressed in white.
Look, this is the unlucky ghost who will be sent to Pingliang to die! (To be continued)
