Chapter 1142: King Wei Returns to Beijing
Yuan Qingling looked at her appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and her heart was about to jump out, "Just say it quickly, I'm not blind, I can see the abnormality, the fifth child also deliberately sent me to the other courtyard, so that the Emperor Taishang also moved here and invited Prince Anfeng and his wife to come back to guard it, it must be a very important matter." ”
Ah Si sighed, "You have guessed, then I am not a big mouth, Xu Yi told me that after investigation, it was found that the prince of Pingnan was most likely dressed up by Hong Lie, and there was also a rebellion in Beiying, and some generals secretly took refuge in King An, Xu Yi said that Hong Lie's people captured Princess An and the little county lord, which was to force King An to rebel and force the palace. ”
Yuan Qingling was taken aback, "The prince of Pingnan is Hong Lie?" Says who? Is there any evidence? Didn't Lao Wu say that Hong Lie was on his way to Beijing? ”
Ah Si shook his head, "The fourth master's people came back, the person who went to Beijing is indeed similar to Hong Lie, but not Hong Lie, from his actions and demeanor to any temperament, he doesn't look like Hong Lie, it is fake, used to divert attention, in fact, Hong Lie has already entered Beijing, accompanied King Pingnan to Beijing, he lived in Chu's house after entering Beijing, and walked around privately with major officials and royal relatives, Xu Yi said, at that time, the prince was just suspicious, and later Hongye Gongzi secretly observed, saying that this prince of Pingnan may have a human skin mask, and his every move, is very similar to Hong Lie, Gongzi Hongye is Hong Lie's biological son, and what he said should be somewhat reliable. ”
Yuan Qingling thought about it carefully, from Lin Xiao's appearance in the Pingnan Palace, to the return of the King of Pingnan to Beijing, all kinds of signs indicate that the Prince of Pingnan and Hong Lie were in collusion, but was the Prince of Pingnan actually Hong Lie? What about the original prince of Pingnan?
He made a move lightly, first to build momentum for King An's public opinion, and then to hold Princess An hostage to force King An to force the palace, the Northern Tang Dynasty will be in chaos, I believe that at this time, the Northern Desert Army is ready to go.
And on the southern side of Xinjiang, I'm afraid it won't be calm, Hongye originally controlled northern Xinjiang, but if you think about it, northern Xinjiang can be quickly recovered by him, also because he took over Hong Lie's dark line, if those dark lines are against the water, then northern Xinjiang is actually still under Hong Lie's control. The partial red leaves thought that Hong Lie was dead, and he didn't care about northern Xinjiang, and he fell into Hong Lie's arms.
This step-by-step calculation, step-by-step encroachment, silently, and bloodlessly, is really terrifying.
Yuan Qing Ling was terrified, this Hong Lie is really scheming, these layouts are not a short period of time, he has long been lurking in the Northern Tang Dynasty, not only in the Northern Tang Dynasty, but also in dealing with the Great Zhou, I am afraid that there are also dark lines in the Great Moon Kingdom and Daxing, what is this person going to do? Did the First Emperor unify the Seven Kingdoms?
The situation that Lao Wu is facing now is actually very severe, in addition to controlling the chaos in the capital, he also has to defend against the invasion of the Northern Desert at any time, if the Northern Desert and Hong Lie have already figured out and developed the weapons of the Great Zhou, then this battle is really a tough battle, and it is about to break out.
Let's say that after Yu Wenhao left the courtyard, he issued three edicts in a row.
The first one was sent to southern Xinjiang and sent to King Shun, telling him to suppress the north of Xinjiang and keep the south of Xinjiang.
The second one was sent to Nanying, so that the Nanying army immediately drove to the border pass.
The third edict was issued to the officials of the state through which the army passed, asking them to guarantee the procurement and supply of military rations.
He repaired another book to the Great Zhou to the Jing Ting, this letter was sent by the people of the Cold Wolf Gate, the road could not be delayed, the Great Zhou and the Northern Tang Dynasty had an alliance, and asked the Great Zhou to sell weapons and send reinforcements if necessary.
At the same time, he blocked Jiangnan Province and the official road from Zhili to Beijing, and set up checkpoints, and if there was no household registration in Beijing or no official office, they were not allowed to enter Beijing.
He made another decree, and Jingzhao Mansion and Gu Si took over the patrol of the forbidden army in the palace and the barracks stationed in Beijing, with about 120,000 people, all of whom were handed over to Commander Gu Si for deployment and assistance from the King of Qi.
On the other hand, he opened his sword at the military department, transferred Sun Wang to the military department, removed the original military department squire, and replaced him with Sun Wang, and he himself took up the post of secretary of the military department and held the military power.
In the end, according to the list originally collected, he wantonly replaced the officials of various ministries and yamen, but all those who appeared in the list were temporarily suspended, and their positions were quickly replaced, and these people Yu Wenhao had already been selected, and these days, he was waiting for this day to be removed drastically.
Without prior consultation with the cabinet, he directly issued an order as the crown prince of the prison state, and a group of people were also removed from the ministry, and the post of secretary of the ministry was retained.
Yu Wenhao's move shocked many people.
It is clear that the prince has been driven to a desperate position, and the popularity is no longer there, and he is condemned everywhere in the Northern Tang Dynasty.
No one would have thought that the crown prince would wantonly remove officials when he was in bad reputation and when he should be most conservative.
How could they know that Yu Wenhao's forbearance during this period of time was just waiting for the most appropriate time to make a heavy counterattack.
What a blow to the boat.
But this blow caused all kinds of suspicion among the people, no one discussed the matter of King An's gift of medicine, everyone waited to see what the prince was going to do, because such a large-scale removal of officials was unprecedented, something must have happened.
It was at this time that the King of Wei and the Lord of Jinghe returned to Beijing.
The Wei Wangfu has always been kept for him, but the county lord Jinghe did not go back with him, nor did he return to his mother's house, but went to the Sun Wangfu to live temporarily.
Among so many concubines, Princess Sun and Lord Jinghe are the best, of course, the most distressed for her is also Princess Sun, she came to live in King Sun's mansion temporarily, and Princess Sun is naturally very welcome.
The two immediately entered the palace to meet Concubine Jing, after the death of King Wei's mother, King Wei has been raised by Concubine Jing's side, and the lord of Jinghe County naturally regarded Concubine Jing as a mother-in-law, very filial, when Jinghe and King Wei reconciled, Concubine Jing was overly sad and sick.
Over the years, Concubine Jing has been very concerned about Jinghe, although she lives in a simple place, she will always send someone to ask Jinghe about the current situation in King Sun's mansion, but Jinghe has left Beijing, except for the time when she encountered an incident in northern Xinjiang, almost no news came back.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw each other today, they inevitably hugged their heads and cried, telling each other about the situation after these years, the imperial concubine and the concubine De concubine learned that Jinghe had entered the palace, and they also rushed to see it, and they were so shocked that Jinghe knelt on the ground, and was reluctant to get up for a long time.
The imperial concubine asked about the King of Wei, and she also knew that the King of Wei had broken his arm when he was in northern Xinjiang, and later the two of them went to Da Zhou, but no one reported the specific situation.
Jinghe said: "At the beginning, the regent of Qingtian in the Great Zhou was unwilling to help with the arm, and then it was the general of Jingting who persuaded him for a long time, and even the queen mother helped persuade him, and the regent of Qingtian agreed. ”
"That's good!" When everyone heard it, they let go of their hearts, especially Concubine Jing Niangniang was most concerned about the third child, after the third child left Beijing, she was also worried day and night, and she cried for a long time when she learned about the broken arm.
