Chapter 388: Eventful
All along, he and Li Heng have actually been preparing for this possibility. Now the treasury in Chang'an City is full, and the materials transported from the southeast are piled up, since there are rumors related to Tingzhou in Chang'an City, all this has been arranged in secret.
Zhang Xun thinks he is a cautious person, and it is the same today, he and the Son of Heaven do not believe that such a thing will happen, and they both believe in Ma Lu's loyalty, but they both consider things to the worst, so they will arrange them early.
Originally, Zhang Xun thought that he had no problem coping with it, even if something unexpected happened, but at this moment, standing in the half-collapsed Fufeng County Palace, Zhang Xun's back was already wet with cold sweat.
At this time, he suddenly felt that the arrangement he had made was far from enough, and even too child's play. At this time, he suddenly realized that he had always thought about the problem too simply, and it turned out that the so-called response between him and the Son of Heaven before was just like a child playing at home, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
The so-called proper response is nothing but self-deception. The premise that he and the Son of Heaven thought they should deal with properly before was actually that Ma Renjie's loyalty was beyond doubt. In fact, the response is not enough at all, and it can even be said that it is far behind.
No matter how much ordnance and rice and grain are piled up in Chang'an City, what is the use? If Ma Lan really raised troops to attack, could it be that he relied on the Northern Ya Forbidden Army to resist Ma Lan's army?
The night wind blew, slightly cool, and Zhang Xun's body trembled.
The people of the Ma family actually resisted arrest, and they had been prepared for a long time, and in his opinion, the matter was already obvious.
"It's really eventful...... Zhang Xun only felt bitter in his mouth and sighed secretly.
The previous arrangement was so bad that I didn't know it yet. Things have come to this point. It can only be remedied on a best footing.
This lonely minister of the Tang Empire took a deep breath. Forcibly cheer yourself up.
It's a mess. However, he didn't dare to pretend to be in the hands of others, so he could only do it himself.
"Everybody get out of here, take this place ...... Seal it! Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Xun commanded softly.
The Fufeng County Palace's damage to this state is no longer possible to hide this matter, and it is bound to shake the entire Chang'an City, but now it is not so much to care about.
The dragon warriors withdrew from the palace and sealed the entire mansion.
Zhang Xun originally wanted these people to search the neighborhood. Tried to find the people of the Ma family, but before the words were spoken, he didn't say anything further after seeing the expressions of these guys.
These guys are really useless, it is impossible to let them fight hard, he does not have the authority to command the forbidden army, and he cannot force them.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you catch those people in the Ma family now, what is important is to deal with the upcoming unforeseen situation, what can you do if you catch these people, if Ma Renjie is determined to rebel, it is impossible to give up for these people.
There are priorities. Compared to what I figured out tonight, catching these people is really nothing. The pursuit still has to be pursued. But that's not the point. There is only one key thing, and that is to find a way to deal with the crisis at hand.
Leaving a small number of men to guard the palace, Zhang Xun led the rest of the forbidden army back to Xingqing Palace and entered the palace to see Li Heng's injuries.
……
Xingqing Palace.
What happened in Yankangfang hadn't spread yet, Li Heng, the son of the Heavenly Son, was lying on the couch and closed his eyes, Chen Xuanli was standing on the side with an extremely gloomy expression, and several imperial doctors looked nervous, standing on the side of the main hall.
"How is Your Majesty?" Zhang Xun asked in a low voice.
Chen Xuanli said with a calm face: "It's not good, I haven't woken up yet." The doctor said that he might have been frightened, or he might have hurt his brain. ”
"How long will it take to wake up?"
"I don't know!" Chen Xuanli said, with a faint anger in his voice. Looking at this, Zhang Xun understood that the old general was blaming himself for this matter.
But this is not wronged, after all, the cause of the incident is related to him.
"You're the right minister, you have to make an idea about this." Longwu General Chen Xuanli frowned and looked at Zhang Xundao, "Your Majesty just ascended the throne today, such a thing happened, and now even the crown prince has not been decided, if Your Majesty has something to do, how can this be good!" ”
"Could it be that serious?" Zhang Xun's face changed suddenly.
Chen Xuanli pointed at the nervous-looking doctors and nodded, "They said it." ”
The corners of Zhang Xun's mouth twitched, if Your Majesty really has a high mountain and a low water...... The emperor who died on the first day of ascending the throne is really a strange story for the ages.
Chen Xuanli looked at Zhang Xun's face was not good, at this time Zhang Xun himself also regretted it very much, if he had persuaded the Son of Heaven not to lead the troops in person, or even not to let His Majesty venture into that compound, such a thing would not have happened. He didn't know how to deal with this situation.
However, he is the right minister, and Li Heng has great trust in him, so it can be said that the power of the entire empire is now in his hands, and he must make a decision at this time.
After thinking for a long time with his brows twisted, Inspector Zhang let out a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Old general, wait a little longer, this matter cannot be spread outside, you guard here, no one is allowed to come in, just say that Your Majesty is slightly ill and needs to recuperate for some time." You're only in charge of this, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Chen Xuanli nodded with a gloomy face: "That's it, I hope Your Majesty can wake up." ”
Zhang Xun sighed and told Chen Xuanli what happened in Yankangfang.
"How dare you do that?" After hearing this, Chen Xuanli frowned and shouted.
"It's really unpredictable, who would have thought that......" Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "The matter here is hard for the old general, and as the right minister, I have to deal with this matter." Eventful period...... I just hope that God bless the Tang Dynasty......"
"Go to the right minister, don't worry about it here, if Your Majesty wakes up, I will send someone to inform you." Chen Xuanli said in a deep voice, he is an old minister, so he naturally understands what is more important at this time.
Zhang Xun glanced at Li Heng worriedly, turned around and walked away quickly.
I never expected that it would be today's situation, although it is almost to the point of running out of oil, but for the sake of this empire, he still has to grit his teeth to support it, at least to support this period of time.
He only hopes that the Son of Heaven is fine, as long as the Son of Heaven is fine, there will be no chaos in Chang'an City, and in case there is a mountain high and a low water in the Son of Heaven, the many brothers of the Son of Heaven plus the many heirs of the Son of Heaven...... Chang'an City will become a quagmire, if Ma Lan leads the army to attack at that time...... Things are simply unimaginable.
……
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, coupled with the accession of the Son of Heaven to the throne, Chang'an City was full of jubilation. This is the largest city in the world with a population of one million, and tonight Jin Wu can't help but be extremely lively, but what happened in Yankang Fang spread quickly.
No one knows what it is for, only that thousands of Longwu troops surrounded the Fufeng County Palace, trying to arrest the people inside, but the people inside did not obey and used the firearms of the army in the west. In the end, I don't know what the result was, but the Fufeng County Royal Mansion was blown out of a big crater by firearms, the gate was gone, and now the entire mansion has been sealed.
Like a stone dropped in the middle of a calm lake, the news spread rapidly in this huge city, and people were either excited or uneasy to spread various versions of the news, all wondering what had happened and why the Dragon Martial Army had taken action against the Fufeng County Palace.
People with access go to Long Wujun's people to inquire about the news, and people with identity can also know more. Because of this incident, Chang'an City is destined to be unable to calm down this night.
"Rabbit dead dog cooking...... It was a matter of time or time, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. ”
In a gorgeous pavilion in Pingkangfang, a scribe on the embroidered couch hugged a beautiful girl and sighed slightly, "It's a pity, after all, Ma Xiang has three achievements in destroying the country, and now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, he has actually fallen into such a field." It seems that it is not only to weaken power, but this is a posture that even rich people are not allowed to do. Your Majesty is really in a hurry this time, too anxious......"
The beautiful girl seemed to understand whether she understood or not, blinking her big eyes and looking at the scribe with a look of adoration, the scribe was proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing has been common since ancient times, but you don't understand it, don't say it, teach you the means of a certain family!" As he spoke, he turned over and pressed on the girl, causing the girl to scream.
In the final analysis, this is a big man's business, and it has nothing to do with him, he just has some friendship with Ma Xiang's doorman Li Juan, and it is nothing to move his mouth at this time, after all, the money to find the girl tonight is still from Li Juan.
Li Juan has always been generous with money, although most of the people who come and go are poor and sour literati who are unwilling, but this kind of person can influence public opinion, this night in the Qinglou in Pingkangfang, there are naturally a lot of literati who say these words, and it can be regarded as a friendship with Li Juan. I've said it, I've said it, I'm going to play with a girl, I'm going to be drunk today, I'm going to be drunk today, and I'm going to care about anything else.
If there are more people who say it, it will naturally be able to influence public opinion. Those who go to listen to the news can't find out the real inside story, and there are many people who think of rabbits and dead dogs.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, everyone has a backbone, which is a good thing, and it is natural for the new emperor to ascend the throne and purge the old ministers, which everyone can accept, and even have psychological preparation. However, this is too fast after all, and the appearance is too ugly, with Ma Xiang's merits, at least he should be allowed to return to Linquan to be a rich man, and now he doesn't even let go of his family, which is inevitably cold.
Li Juan made friends with Shilin on weekdays, and spent money like water, which also played a role at this time. Unconsciously, public opinion slowly fell to General Ma's side. Although the shabby literati can only influence the low-level petty peddlers and pawns, there are many of these people after all. The official did not give a clear reason, and the people were even more convinced that the new monarch was going to take action against General Ma. While nothing can be changed, it is possible to say a few words of sympathy.
After a night of fermentation, public opinion has slowly formed. The entire Chang'an City is talking about this matter, and everyone is extremely sympathetic to General Ma, who is about to be ruined.
And such a situation is something that many people did not expect. Zhang Xun and Chen Xuanli didn't expect it, and Yang Youniang didn't expect it either.
In any case, it is a joyful thing to hear someone praise the merits of his husband. (To be continued......)
