From quarrying to the east, it is Chaotiandang and Jiangning City......

Swinging towards the sky, the sky is blue and the water is white, and the sky is wide.

Hu Wenmu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the sky swinging in the winter after there are still thirty or forty miles wide of the water, the original name of the sky swing was wild pheasant, and then it was the ancestor of Jiangning and got the name of the sky swing, the word Chaotian is to take the meaning of "pilgrimage to the son of heaven" also......

Hu Wenmu thought that he came to Jiangning, but it was also in line with the intention of facing the sky, so he stood behind his hands and went to Longzangpu with the boat and water.

The ships that enter Jiangning from the east enter Jiangning City through the Jinchuan River, and the ships from Jiangning from the west enter Jiangning City through the Longzang Puxi River.

On 26 November, Hu Wenmu sailed south by boat from Fancheng, and there were two or three thousand ships heading north from Jianglu and other places in the Han River, so that Hu Wenmu could not indulge in the fast sailing when he let the boat go. Fu Qinghe, who was the governor of the Lianghu military department and the leader of Jiangxia government affairs, invited Hu Wenmu to stop for one night in Jiangxia to ask about Jinghu's governance and the selection of generals. It was not until 1 December that Hu Wenmu sailed down from Jiangxia and did not enter Jiangning until 4 December. At the same time, the Chuanjie fast horse from Xiangyang also arrived in Jiangning at the same time.

Approaching the mouth of Longzangpu, there were many carriages and horses parked on the left bank, and Hu Xuekui, the youngest son of Hu Wenmu, who was waiting with him, had sharp eyes and said with some doubts: "Are those officials who came out of the city to greet my father?" ”

Luo Wenhu stood at the bow of the ship, picked up the monocular and looked at the left bank of Longzangpu, turned back to Hu Wenmu and said, "Xu is an official of the Privy Council who went out of the city to welcome Lord Hu......

Luo Wenhu joined Huaidong in Lishan, and then he has been leading the troops to participate in the Battle of Jingxiang, and after the Battle of Tiesongxi, he was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department to fight with the army, and he has not had time to settle down with his family.

After Hu Wenmu gave up his military power, he took his two sons to Shicheng alone to see Lin Tie, Hu Xuechang returned to Ezhou and consul affairs, Hu Wenmu and his young son Hu Xuekui went north with the army, Lin Tie pulled a warship from the navy and gave Hu Wenmu as an official seat boat to send him back to Jiangning - these two things came together, Lin Tie ordered Luo Wenhu to lead a team of forbidden camp generals to escort Hu Wenmu to Jiangning, and casually let Luo Wenhu take his family to Jiangning to settle down when he passed through Hanjin.

Hu Xuekui has not yet been crowned, and his heart has not yet settled, and he has been familiar with Luo Wenhu and the accompanying generals of the forbidden camp in the past few days.

Luo Wenhu's bronze telescope is still taken from the military intelligence department of the battle of Miaotanling, and he regarded it as a treasure, and traveled east for a few days, standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the vast rivers and mountains, and the distant mountains such as in front of his eyebrows, so that he had a subtle change in his vision of the world, and he realized more and more deeply that he used to sit in the Suizhou army too much to sit in the well and watch the sky......

Hu Xuekui took the bronze mirror from Luo Wenhu's hand, looked at the left bank of Longzangpu, turned around and said to his father suspiciously: "The leader is wearing purple clothes, maybe it is Lord Lin Mengdelin, the god of wealth in Huaidong......"

The forest officials in Jiangning, if you talk about the quality of the Yi, led by Lin Xuwen and Huang Jinnian, in addition to Lin Mengde, Liu Shidu, Lin Tingli, Qin Chengzu and others, are all qualified to wear purple clothes; Although other forest officials also have heavy authority, their actual quality has not yet reached the qualification to wear purple clothes.

Lin Xuwen is in the position of deputy prime minister, and he went out of the city to welcome Hu Wenmu, which is a little unreasonable.

Hu Wenmu resigned from the posts of head of the Jinghu camp and envoy, but he still had the title of deputy privy envoy, and it was most appropriate for the Privy Council to send people out of the city to greet him.

Hu Xuekui is younger than Luo Wenhu, but he is familiar with officialdom and is more proficient than Luo Wenhu, who is over thirty years old, so he can guess that the official who came to greet him on the shore may be Lin Mengde.

Luo Wenhu thinks about the world, it is really strange, he was once the leader of the bandits, and Hu Wenmu was once a feudal official, and it is very likely that he will replace Yu Xinyuan to enter the political hall as the prime minister, but he has the opportunity to go to Jiangning in the same boat - Jiangning City is an absolutely unfamiliar place for Luo Wenhu.

For a city where Dingkou was once nearly one million high, even after the Battle of Jiangning, Lin Jian has been trying his best to reduce the excessive number of Dingkou in Jiangning City to relieve the pressure on food, the Dingkou in Jiangning City is still above 500,000, which is an unimaginable scenario for Luo Wenhu in the past.

The person who stood on the shore was indeed Lin Mengde and other privy council officials who accompanied him out of the city to greet Hu Wenmu, and when the ship approached the shore, he boarded the boat to meet Hu Wenmu, and said with a smile: "Hu Gong is fine, farewell to the floating beam, do you remember the little brother's dream?" ”

Hu Wenmu had a very shallow impression of Lin Mengde, but after giving up military power and attaching himself to Huaidong, he carefully sorted out his past life trajectory and looked for connections with the people of Huaidong.

In fact, when Lin Mengde was young, he went to Fuliang with the cargo team to sell tea, and at that time, Hu Wenmu was the chief of Fuliang County, and it was indeed possible to meet. But Lin Mengde was not a tea house guy who went to the banquet with the shopkeeper of the Lin clan at that time, so how could Hu Wenmu keep it in mind?

Fortunately, the status of the Lin family in the Yue Dynasty has always been not low, including the last two generations of the Lin family and the high-ranking officials such as the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, Hu Wenmu remembered that he had an old relationship with the children of the Lin family when he was in Fuliang, and thought that he might have seen Lin Mengde.

Hu Wenmu came to Jiangning this time and was the deputy prime minister designated by Lin Jian to replace Yu Xinyuan.

Lin Mengde was appointed as the Privy Council Envoy, and he was the same as the six departments and the same three products. However, anyone who knows the history of the rise of Huaidong should know that Lin Mengde is the head of the Huaidong scribes who are heavily attached to Lin Bin, and his status in Huaidong, known as the God of Wealth in Huaidong, is actually equal to Lin Xuwen, that is to say, his status will not be worse than Hu Wenmu.

"If it weren't for the old acquaintances, Wen Mu wouldn't dare to be the Duke of Lin to go out of the city to welcome him!" Hu Wenmu returned the salute.

Although it is not very formal to welcome Hu Wenmu, after all, he cannot take the limelight from Lin Bin, who will return to Jiangning, Sun Jingxuan, Zhou Guangnan, Li Shutang, Lin Zonghai and others who went out of the city with Lin Meng, are all core members of Huaidong and the Lin family, in order to show their attention and respect for Hu Wenmu; Although Lin Xuwen did not go out of the city to greet him, he also said that he would hold a private banquet in the house tonight to have a small gathering with Hu Wenmu.

When Lin Xuwen was an official in Yanjing, he had several banquets with Hu Wenmu, and his friendship was not deep, but he was also an old man. is also because Lin Xuwen is the real descendant of the Lin family, Hu Wenmu has a deep impression of Lin Xuwen.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family was actually Lin Xuan, a son of the side branch, who made a great appearance, completely covering the two characters of Lin Xuwen and Lin Tingli.

Lin Mengde led everyone out of the city to greet him, on the one hand, he called Hu Wenmu Xin'an, knowing that the Huaidong family was under the rule of Lin Lian, and there was no particularly serious rejection, but there were still many sighs in his heart: If he hadn't agreed to come out and talk about opening the government, the officials of the Huaidong family would definitely not pay so much attention to him; And Lin Mengde unofficially led Huaidong and a group of left-behind officials out of the city to greet him this time, which also made him inseparable from Huaidong from now on.

Maybe the time is not yet ripe, and it is not yet possible to make Huaixi and Sichuan Shu have an excuse to directly break away from Jiangning's control, but in Hu Wenmu's opinion, Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Lin Mengde and other Huaidong people seem to have eagerly stared at the seat of the Son of Heaven.

Maybe Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Lin Mengde and others are not difficult to see through, but after more than ten days of contact, Hu Wenmu really can't see through where Lin Lian's mind is. To say that Lin Jian did not have the ambition to abolish Yuan and establish himself as an emperor, Hu Wenmu would not believe it, but he always felt that his ambition was not so fierce, and his ambition did not stop.

*****************

In the Chongzheng Hall of the palace of the palace, almost everything that can be smashed is not intact, the porcelain is broken, the table is tilted and the chair is tilted, Emperor Yongxing slumped on the mattress with a pale face, and there is a trace of sickly redness under his eyes, roaring angrily, but his voice can't make a loud voice like a broken bellows, as if an exhausted beast whimpered before dying: "Hu Wenmu is a loyal minister of Dayue, he must have come to Beijing to kill the traitor and help the emperor's family for me, Zhang Yan, what is your intention, dare to deceive me and say that he colluded with the traitorous minister and the rebel?" actually lied that Cheng Yuqian, Zuo Chengmu, and Yu Xinyuan were sick and couldn't come to see me-I saw that you were a traitor, so you colluded with those traitors and rebels......" picked up a lotus-foot placenta and smashed it at Zhang Yan, who was kneeling in front of the hall.

Zhang Yan knelt behind the hall, tears fell from his long placket, his shoulder called the lotus foot placenta smashed, the pain was like a fracture, he didn't scream, kowtowed and said: "Zhang Yan didn't dare to deceive the saint, not a word of what he said was not true, Cheng, Zuo, and Yu Sanxiang were all infected and could not enter the palace, and Deputy Envoy Hu went to Lin Xiang's mansion after entering the city......"

Watching Emperor Yongxing hysterically smash everything he could get, Zhang Yan felt powerless and desperate.

Hu Wenmu entered Beijing today, Lin Mengde and others went out of the city to meet the attack, and the emperor summoned Cheng Yuqian, Zuo Chengmu, and Yu Xinyuan into the palace to discuss matters, but Cheng Yuqian, Zuo Chengmu, and Yu Xinyuan all said that they were sick and could not come, and sent Zhang Yan to invite.

Zhang Yan went door-to-door to invite, except for Zuo Chengmu and the old love to open the door of the mansion to allow him to enter the house, Cheng Mansion, Yu Mansion, Zhang Yan didn't even get a cup of tea, let alone see Cheng Yuqian and Yu Xinyuan - in the past, the power of the room had not completely declined, and Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan and others also gathered into the imperial party because of their own interests and Huaidong; And the backbone of the old imperial party had to plan a retreat at this time, so how sad and desperate was Zhang Yan's heart?

After kneeling on the cold brick floor for a long time, Zhang Yan was also dizzy, and he was about to fall down from exhaustion, "Knock knock", the sound of crutches sounding in his ears, Zhang Yan looked sideways, but it was the Queen Mother's temples full of silver threads, and the cane called Miao Shuo to help her.

"The dignified Son of Heaven is so useless, it's really disappointing for the mourning family!" Liang's eyes were cloudy, and he could hardly see what was in front of him, but looking at her expression, he seemed to be staring at Emperor Yongxing like a lost dog with a pair of sharp eyes, and scolded sharply, "Chongguo Gong led his troops to annihilate more than 300,000 rebel thieves, and recovered Jingxiang. However, since the surrender of the Duke of Chongguo, Cao Ziang, Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Ao Canghai, Zhou Tong, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, and Zhao Hu all have great military exploits and great political achievements, and they all reward the lords of the land - they work hard, aren't they just trying to be a wife and a son, a prince and a marquis? In the name of the Son of Heaven, you reward everyone, and they can take it from themselves? ”

This passage seemed to make Liang exhaust the last of her heart's work, and she coughed violently, almost coughing out her heart and lungs, and her back and waist were bent down, like a candle in the wind, making it difficult for people to imagine the momentum when she said those words just now.

Emperor Yongxing also seemed to shock the Liang family's momentum, and he was stunned.

Zhang Yan was also stunned, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to make such a risky trick-

When the lord of the land of Yi was the most noble, with the merit of forest binding, it was only the land of the five counties of Yi before.

The people of Huaidong supported Lin Tie as the emperor, in the final analysis, isn't it also for the wealth of a marquis of ten thousand households and a wife and a son?

At this time, the extensive appreciation of the Huaidong people was to weaken the motivation to abolish Yuan Yue and establish a new dynasty within Huaidong; The Huaidong generals will also be able to effectively maintain their power and status for a long time, thereby weakening their urgency to establish a new dynasty, so as to prevent Lin from becoming self-reliant and preserve the Yuan emperor......

But all of the above is wishful thinking.

At present, for Huaidong and Lin Bin, it is still a bit hasty to directly abolish the imperial family, and the time is not yet ripe.

After all, the greatest fame and righteousness in the world is not the difference between Han and Yi, but the continuation of the imperial lineage.

Once Lin Jian abolished the Yuan clan, he would lose the righteousness of Fengtianzi to order the world; Yuan Yue ceased to exist, and Cao Yiqu naturally gained the status of secession of Shu and self-reliance; However, after the imperial family abolished Huaidong and Yuan Yue, and Yuan Yue's policy book, Dong Yuan, the head of the Huaixi camp and the Henan envoy, was abolished by the imperial family and Yuan Yue ceased to exist, but he could be psychologically burdened to attach Yanhu to the north in the name of Kuang Fu Yuan's imperial family, and make Huaidong an enemy.

But everything is the lesser of two evils.

If the Empress Dowager wants to do this, if Lin Jian feels that it is more harmful to delay, she is likely to take the risk of Cao Yiqu's self-reliance and Dong Yuan's Beitou, and directly abolish the Yuan clan, establish a new dynasty, and divide the Huaidong generals, instead of asking the Huaidong generals to accept Yuan Yue's sub-feudals......

Of course, if you don't take the risk and ask Huaidong to deploy step by step, one day, the dragon chair of His Royal Highness will also ask Lin Jian to sit.

Do you sit back and wait, or do you just come to everything?
