The news spread quickly, and the news of Hebei's victory spread throughout the capital in an instant, and for several months, the people who had been disturbed by the Tartars finally had a channel to vent. In the streets and alleys, the sound of firecrackers came and went, and people rushed to tell each other, which finally made the backwater-like Jingshi completely rejuvenated.

Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree in court, ordering the cabinet to draft a decree, and the celebrant supervisor used the seal, and then sent it to the Hebei front line as soon as possible. In this way, the efficiency is extraordinary, and in less than two hours the will has been printed. It's just that hesitating to choose who to issue the decree on.

Among the internal officials, Cao Huachun selected Wang Mengbi, one of the eunuchs in the court, and there must always be someone to accompany him among the civil officials to represent the cabinet and the imperial court. Yang Sichang and his ilk just watched coldly, but the other officials were unwilling to go to the land of Hebei, and everyone knew the risks, the Tartar rangers were everywhere, in case they met a messenger who would be dead and lifeless.

In the end, Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, stepped forward, took over this hot potato, and led five hundred soldiers from the Beijing camp to escort the eunuch Wang Mengbi to Hebei. Of course, Yang Tinglin also had to accompany him, he was Lu Xiangsheng's messenger, and he was familiar with the terrain of Hebei, so it was most suitable for him to lead the way. Another point, Yang Tinglin also tried his best to rush to Gao Qiqian's army to speed up the arrival of reinforcements.

Out of the palace, Yang Tinglin returned directly to the house where Yin Shigang was placed, and Yin Shigang had already prepared all the things he needed to go on the road. Unexpectedly, Cao Wushu rushed over at this time.

"I'm going to Hebei with Lord Yang!" Cao Wuxian said as soon as they met.

"Who is this......?" Yang Tinglin was a little surprised.

Yin Shigang has to explain one or two things. finally perfunctory past, when even pulled Cao Wuxian out. "Cao Ye, which one are you singing, Hebei is in chaos, Lord Yang, they are passing the decree, what are you going to do?"

Cao Wuxian was determined to go, "Mr. Yin doesn't have to be angry. This humble life of mine was originally given by the adults, and now that the adults are in deep danger, how can I stay out of it. What's more, I promised Miss Mu that I would protect the adults thoroughly, and I must go to Hebei! ”

Thinking about her teary eyes when she just said goodbye to Mu Yuling, Cao Wuxian felt a burst of heartache for no reason. He is the same age as Zhu Ping'an and Mu Yuling, and he grew up together in the palace since he was a child, he knows the relationship between Zhu Ping'an and Mu Yuling very well, in case Zhu Ping'an has any mistakes, Mu Yuling will not live alone in the world, for the sake of these two friends who live and die together, Cao Wuxian made up his mind, saying that nothing can make Zhu Ping'an have an accident.

Cao Wuxian's stubborn temper Yin Shigang was deeply aware of it, seeing that he had made up his mind, it was not good to say anything, so he had to nod in agreement, and immediately prepared a few copies of the crossbows, sabers and other instruments collected around him, and handed them to Cao Wuxian to take on the road to use.

At the end of the court meeting, it was already in the afternoon, and after completing the preparations for the meeting, Gong Yonggu went to Beijing to mobilize people and horses, and was scheduled to assemble and set off at Yongding Gate early tomorrow morning.

Zhou Yanru has quietly left Beijing after arranging the response in the court meeting, and the next outcome is doomed, now it depends on whether Lu Xiangsheng and others can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, if not, then he Zhou Yanru has nothing to lose, after all, the goal of attacking Yang Sichang has been achieved, and then he will wait for the next opportunity to strike with all his strength with peace of mind.

This night is destined to have a lot of people who can't sleep. Mu Yanzi is one of them. Since he saw Wang Chengen that night, his mind has not been calm for a long time, and the scenes of his youth have been appearing in front of him like a marquee, making him unable to sleep.

Although the court situation is chaotic, the prince's schoolwork will continue, and Mu Yanzi still has a lot of opportunities to enter and leave the East Palace. Taking advantage of these opportunities, he also got a lot of news about the court, and when he returned home, he pretended to inadvertently reveal the news to his daughter. Mu Yanzi knew that his daughter would definitely pass on these news to Zhu Ping'an's people without reservation.

Why did he do this, Mu Yanzi himself couldn't understand. He has seen too many intrigues and bloody winds of the royal family, and for this reason, he is unwilling to let his only daughter have any contact with Zhu Ping'an or even the crown prince.

But how can things in the world be as people wish, no matter how he Mu Yanzi stops him, but his daughter's heart is already firmly tied to Zhu Ping'an's body, no matter how much he is a wicked person!

Mu Yanzi quietly closed the door, and the old family who had followed him for many years was already waiting in front of the door with a lantern, Mu Yanzi looked at it, pointed to the lantern and said, "Extinguish it!" ”

As the candles in the lantern went out, the courtyard suddenly became pitch black, but fortunately, the moonlight was still clear today.

Quietly walked to the backyard, passing by his daughter's yard, Mu Yanzi took a look, the light in his daughter's room was still on, and a lonely figure could be vaguely seen holding his cheeks and leaning in front of the window.

Mu Yanzi sighed lightly, turned around and walked to the back door.

Walking out of the yard, the old family of the ** generation is waiting here. Covering the courtyard door, he got into a carriage parked in front of the door, and as Mu Yanzi boarded the carriage, the coachman lowered the curtain and turned around and stood more than ten steps away from the carriage.

In the carriage, a small oil lamp was hung, and Wang Chengen sat in the corner wrapped in a thick coat. When Mu Yanzi sat down, Wang Chengen said: "The imperial court has decided to send troops to rescue the giant deer, and Qin Cha will go to Hebei tomorrow, and the plan for peace has been successful!" ”

Mu Yanzi's tone was calm, but there was a hint of ridicule in and out of his words. "If it weren't for your secret help, I'm afraid he might not have been able to succeed so easily!"

Wang Chengen shook his head and threw a leather bag in his arms to Mu Yanzi. "Ping'an, this kid is thoughtful and thoughtful, which I would never have been able to do at his age!"

"What if you win?" Mu Yanzi opened the cork of the leather bag, took a sip of cold wine, and a hot breath spurted out of his throat, "What else can he do in today's court, what can you do?" So many arrangements made before the death of the first emperor can still be improved now? The people of the Shen family are all dead, and only some lonely souls and wild ghosts are left who follow you, although you Wang Chengen are a few figures in the inner court, but looking at today's officialdom and military affairs, how much can you do? Hmph, ZTE Daming, it's already a joke! ”

The gleam in Wang Chengen's eyes flashed, "It's man-made!" I thought that the original plan was seamless, but I didn't expect that this situation was getting worse day by day. Although the first emperor was illiterate and obsessed with craftsmanship, who would have thought that he was a genius of the sky, when Wei Zhongxian was powerful, he had the idea of usurping the throne and standing on his own. It's just that this awakening came a little late! ”

Wang Chengen sighed leisurely, and the bitterness and regret were undoubtedly revealed.

"There are many more things that I can't tell you now, but you may not guess that this storm will be encountered tomorrow, and this is just the beginning!"

Mu Yanzi's hand shook, and the wine in the wine bag spilled on the robe without realizing it.

Wang Chengen gently opened the curtain in the carriage with his hand, looked at the Forbidden City standing majestically in the distance, and muttered to himself, "Lao Mu, it was you and I who accompanied Qinghe back then, do you remember the expectations of the first emperor and Qinghe's father for you and me?" ”

"Zhongxing Daming, Kuang Fu Sheji!" Mu Yanzi said slowly: "Now, don't you think it's like a dream? The Shen family paid a lot of money, and Fubao was on the throne today, but who knows how much they paid in it. And you, your affairs, can His Majesty know today? ”

Wang Chengen shook his head bitterly, "No, you must not let him know." If he knew, even if I was the eldest companion who watched him grow up, he would not hesitate to kill me! ”

"So!" Mu Yanzi patted him on the shoulder vigorously, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "You and I are just the choice they had no choice at the beginning, you and I can live to this day is already a blessing, haha!" ”

"I wanted to give up, too." Wang Chengen lowered the curtains, turned his head to look at Mu Yanzi, his eyes became extremely clear, "I plan to spend the rest of my life quietly." But I didn't expect to let me discover the potential of this child, do you know, on the night I learned that He Youling died at his hands, how happy I was in my heart! ”

"He has the blood of the Shen family in him, and the people of the Shen family must not be ordinary!"

Wang Chengen approached Mu Yanzi, excited but lowered his voice and said: "What's more, he is still a descendant of the Zhu family, think about it, this means how many things can be done!" ”

"Hmph, Zhu Yujian, that guy actually gave birth to another son-in-law, I once attacked him, but it didn't work. Now that I think about it, because it involves peace, under the anger, it is really a bit reckless. However, no one can harm peace, that's my bottom line! ”

Looking at his old friend who was talking eloquently and couldn't help himself, Mu Yanzi sighed, for his so-called ideals and persistence, he had gone mad. This qiē is all due to those who have been dead for a long time.

Mu Yanzi suddenly discovered that nostalgia is actually a poison, a poison that can make people crazy. How could it not be the case with myself!

Mu Yanzi handed the wine bag to Wang Chengen, "I'm also old, as long as Yuling can have a good home in the future, I don't mind going crazy with you for a few more years, but I have a request ......!" ”

Wang Chengen became even happier, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will agree to whatever you ask!" ”

Mu Yanzi was a little embarrassed when he said it, "This, this, I recently found out that the prince also seems to be ...... to Yu Ling, that, you know." I mean, you have to find a way to cut off this thought of the prince, and you can't let him think anything wrong about Yuling! ”

Wang Chengen smiled, "I already know about this matter, don't worry, Yuling is a safe person, I will never let anyone beat her idea!" ”

Mu Yanzi waved his hands continuously, "You old guy, don't misinterpret what I mean, I didn't say that I must hand over my daughter to Zhu Ping'an!" ”

Wang Chengen smiled, "The old thing, it's still so pedantic, how can you stop it!" ”R1152
