Chapter 154: Hurry

In the name of the Eastern Tour, the emperor took the crown prince Zhao Hengxing to drive the expedition in person, and ordered the Privy Council Lieutenant Wei Su, who was transferred back to Beijing from Shuofang, Zhou Ting, the new general of the forbidden army, Wang Yunong, the first assistant prime minister of Longyuan Pavilion University, and Xu Wenhan, a scholar of Jixian Palace, and Zhao Qi, the fourth prince of Yuewang, Zhao Qi, the prince of Yue. Zhao Qi's kid is just born rich and famous, the four assistant superintendents of the state are two civil and two military, Wei Su is in charge of the military affairs of Daxia, Zhou Ting is in charge of the forbidden army, Wang Yunong is in charge of civil affairs, and Xu Wenhan is in charge of the country's money and grain, each performing its own duties and restraining each other. Not only the emperor, but even Yang Zhi believes that these four people are all die-hard ministers who are not recognized by anyone except the emperor, which can be described as the most secure golden combination.

Although Xu Wenhan is not very old, he is usually thoughtful and not surprised, but this time he actually used three "urgent" words concisely and concisely, what happened in Chang'an? Could it have reached the point where the four important ministers of the prison state were unable to clean up? Wei Su has a close relationship with Wang Yunong and Yang Zhidu, why didn't they say a word? Could it be that Zhou Ting, who is responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi, is the problem?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhi couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the bottom of his heart: A general with hundreds of thousands of elite forbidden troops in his hands has a problem, what does that mean? It can only be a mutiny! The crown prince is by the emperor's side, and he must not have the ability to remotely command thousands of miles away from Chang'an. And according to his shallow foundation in the army, coupled with his usual virtue, it is difficult to toss any fame even if he has. The emperor and the crown prince drove the expedition in person, and there was only one person who had the ability to launch a mutiny, the courage to take risks, and the time to arrange calmly in secret, that was Zhao Dang, the king of Ning, who had 300,000 heavy soldiers!

But if it really gets out of control, what role can it play in urgently calling him Yang Zhi back to Beijing? Xu Wenhan wouldn't think that he was the reincarnation of a god, and he could stop a long-planned mutiny with the power of one person, right?

After reading Xu Wenhan's secret letter, Yang Zhi threw the note into the brazier without saying a word. After being silent for a long time, he said with a solemn face: "Brother Qin, Mr. Xu summoned me to return to Chang'an quickly, and I must leave early tomorrow morning at the latest." I don't know exactly what this is. I can only tell you that there may be a major event related to the future and destiny of you and me. Mr. Yi. During my absence from Penglai, you must do your best to help the county lord and Brother Qin stabilize the situation. Brother Qin, you have to do two things for me right now: one is to do your best to find out the emperor's accurate news at all costs. The second is to urgently order the Qin's branch along the way to prepare three fast horses overnight, so that I can change horses at any time and hurry. ”

The two nodded solemnly, and Qin Jiaoyang immediately left.

He called Liu Er and Chang San and instructed, "Brother Chang." Go and prepare two fast horses, plus cooked meat and dry food for them for a few days, and a handful of incense. Brother Liu, you go and ask Brother Qin for advice later on how to use the Qin clan to transmit news. Tonight I will write a letter, and you will leave for Dangji Island early tomorrow morning, and hand it over to the county lord in person. Return immediately afterward. Go all the way to the hometown of the Southern Tang Dynasty to search for the traces of the emperor. As long as the emperor is found, whether he is dead or alive, he must report it to me as soon as possible. If the emperor is safe, you will immediately rush to Chang'an to meet me! ”

Liu Er and Chang San saw that his words were heavy, and it seemed that Fang Cai's note was related to the life and death of the Great Xia Emperor. Emperor Xia and the crown prince drove to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is already known to the world, is it that hundreds of thousands of wolf-like Xia troops are not enough to protect the safety of Emperor Xia? The two didn't dare to ask more, so they only solemnly accepted the order.

After Yang Zhi finished explaining, he turned his head and went into the study to show paper and pen to write a letter to Linglong. He had already thought very clearly: it was none of his business who would be the emperor in the future of Great Xia, but the emperor could not be changed at least in two or three years! Even if you have to change it. It must not be King Ning! In case the situation gets out of control, I'd rather Fuyue King ascend to the throne, and I will kill him with the power of Liuxi!

In the early morning of the next day, before it was light, Qin Jiaoyang hurriedly reported that the emperor had arrived in Jinling on November 22, stayed for three days, and drove out of the city to return to Chang'an on November 25. But where the Holy Driver is so far, with the Qin Clan's ability to drill into the sky and the earth, there is no way to find out!

Yang Zhideng suddenly woke up to the fact that there must be changes in the situation in Chang'an, but the root of the problem still lies with the emperor. The emperor of a dignified country drove the expedition in person. Escorted by heavy soldiers, the holy trace is unknown! This is a very ominous sign, and there is only one possibility, I am afraid that the emperor has been controlled by men and is in danger. There are people around you who strictly block the news from the outside world! Who's doing the tricks? Could it be that it is not King Ning, but the seemingly incompetent prince Zhao Heng?!

Once this incredible thought popped up in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more cold sweat trickled down: the eldest brother-in-law was heavy-minded, upright, and scheming, and had no far-sighted political acumen at all, and he was a general of the prince's line. During the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shen Zhong was named a cavalry general by the emperor Jin. The commander of 30,000 troops stationed in Huainan, which was adjacent to the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty, actually assumed the heavy responsibility of destroying the vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty. Will this dead-eyed brother-in-law be fooled by the prince and do something stupid?

Wei Su held the position of Privy Council Lieutenant and was the highest military governor under the Great Xia. Wei Feiyang is a brave and courageous young hero, and the official worships the brave and resolute general who commanded 100,000 troops to guard Jinling. If the crown prince can succeed to the throne smoothly step by step, of course Wei Su's father and son can pat their chests and say that they are loyal to the emperor. If it was really the crown prince who brazenly launched a mutiny, it would be difficult to say!

Yang Zhi didn't dare to delay any longer, and then set off with Chang San out of Penglai. The two of them rode their horses to the west with all their might, but fortunately, Qin Jiaoyang's arrangements were effective, and every market town must have Qin's branch to prepare dry food for horses and wait, just change horses and move forward with confidence. Twelve hours a day, at least ten hours on horseback.

On the first day, Chang San understood Yang Sheng's intention to burn incense, and when he was really tired every day, he found a secluded and uninhabited place to drink and eat and then fell asleep on the spot. In order not to fall asleep too deeply, he lit incense and put it between his fingers. In this way, you will wake up with burning incense until your fingers burn after sleeping at most!

Even though Chang San has a strong martial art, he is not iron-beaten after all, and he is far from Yang Zhi, who is as tough as a steel wire and has long endurance. At first, I could barely bear it for two or three days, but then I was completely miserable and gritted my teeth. After a rough calculation in a few days, the daily itinerary of the two is more than 300 miles!

Yang Zhi originally didn't care much about the transportation and communication conditions in this era, but this time he hated his mother so much that he scolded his mother. Penglai is more than 2,000 miles away from Xi'an, and it is normal to walk from Penglai to Chang'an for a month, although he chose the fastest way, but it will take at least seven or eight days to walk.

God knows what will happen in the past seven or eight days between Chang'an and the emperor? Maybe when Yang Zhi rushes back to Chang'an like a tired wild dog, the daylily will be cold!
