Chapter 62: The Reason for the Rebellion
When Xuan Mo received the news, it was the day before he was ready to leave.
He originally wanted to lead his troops to the north to quell the rebellion and support Zhang Tinghao, the governor of northern Xinjiang, and by the way, he also avoided Changshu's anger and pretended that he didn't do anything, but he didn't expect that he would calculate it, but in the end, he was severely pitted by his loyal lord.
Xuan Mo looked at the secret decree in his hand and fell silent.
Escort Princess Chen Huan back to Beijing.
Why would such a thing be handed over to him as a general on the border instead of the forbidden army in the palace?
Xuan Mo felt a little embarrassed.
If Changshu knew that he was the informant, I don't know how she would react.
The princess's Luan drove out of the capital, and the speed was more than a star and a half slower than the urgent secret report, so Xuan Mo still had some time to buffer him, but it was the information in Changshu's hand that was a little slower than the emperor's secret decree.
Not long after Xuan Mo knew about this, Yao Hua sent the news from Jingzhong to Changshu.
"Your Highness, the news that Nan Su has sent back, her identity has been exposed."
Changshu raised her eyes and looked at him: "The specific situation." ”
"She doesn't know, she only knows that the emperor himself said that someone saw the princess in Fengyang City."
Changshu lowered his eyes and looked at the book in his hand, was silent for a while, and asked, "How is Nanxu doing now?" ”
Pretending to be a princess, Changshu is a little worried about Nan Su's fate.
Yao Hua hurriedly spoke: "The emperor ordered Xie Yu to be the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and ordered Princess Chenhuan to go out of Beijing to pass the decree." ”
Changshu looked up in surprise.
This command...... Is this to take care of her?
Do you want the two of them to take advantage of the opportunity to go out of Beijing now and exchange it back unknowingly?
Changshu frowned, not believing that her father would think so much about her.
"Anything else?"
Yao Hua was silent for a while, and said: "The emperor said that if Her Royal Highness the princess does not go back, there is no need to keep those people in the capital who have been close to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Changshu nodded, not surprised at all.
In fact, it's not that it's not unexpected, but that she doesn't care at all.
Rather than thinking about her everything, such a threatening order is normal.
"Your Highness, do you want to find out who exposed it?"
Changshu shook her head and slowly spit out two words: "Xuanmo." ”
Yao Hua frowned, his expression was very cold: "What does Your Highness mean...... General? ”
"There will be no one else but him."
Changshu said lightly: "I only think that he openly stands in line to support the second prince, what does he rely on, but now it seems that he is only afraid that he is the person of his father from beginning to end, so he will do things without scruples, because behind him is the emperor." ”
Yao Hua's face changed again and again: "That ......"
"The death of the crown prince and the royal brother, compared to the third prince, now it seems that the second prince is a little more likely to ascend the throne."
Changshu closed the page in his hand, his tone was indifferent, and he was not interested in discussing this topic too much: "What happened to King Qi's rebellion?" ”
Yao Hua's face suddenly looked a little strange.
I didn't hear him reply, Changshu raised her eyes and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Yao Hua's face was a little speechless, he lowered his head and said: "It is a fact that King Qi rebelled, but His Highness should not be able to guess what the reason for his army is." ”
Changshu looked at him like this, frowned and thought for a while: "Wen family? ”
Yao Hua looked at her in surprise: "How does His Highness know?" ”
Changshu's expression was a little cold, ignoring his surprise, and said in a deep voice: "The specific situation." ”
"King Qi's wife is the daughter of the Wen family, and the princess was not implicated in the Wen family's incident because she married into the royal family, and because she was protected by King Qi."
"Now the reason why the King of Qi raised his army is that the emperor forced the crown prince and the queen to death, and he was afraid that the Wen family wanted to take back the military power, so he framed the Wen family and beheaded the Wen family."
"Also, in the battle between Tianzhu Mountain and Beirong, the leader of the troops was the eldest son of the Wen family's second room, and 40,000 soldiers and horses were buried in Tianzhu Mountain...... Although it was not explicitly stated, the meaning of the words was directed at the emperor. ”
A "click" sounded, and Yao Hua was instantly silenced.
He lowered his eyes, but saw that Changshu's hand that was originally on the low table held a corner of the table at some point, and he actually pinched that piece apart.
Changshu's face was gloomy: "It's just nonsense." ”
"The battle of Tianzhu Mountain was led by the third cousin, the third cousin's combat style is treacherous and changeable, and the marching formation has always been different from time to time and place, when did he prepare such a thing as a marching formation map in advance?"
The third cousin in Changshu's mouth is Wen Ruining, the third elder of the Wen family, he is the eldest son of the second room of the Wen family, the most deviant one among the younger generation of the Wen family, and he acts quite unscrupulously on the battlefield.
If other Changshu still believe in it, but in the battle of Tianzhu Mountain, Changshu can be sure that the royal family is not secretly playing at all.
She and the crown prince knew clearly from beginning to end of that battle, and the ambush on Tianzhu Mountain did leak the news in advance, but that was because there was a traitor in the barracks, deliberately exposing the location of the garrison and causing the enemy to attack at night.
The traitor was personally ordered to be dealt with by her royal brother.
Changshu said coldly: "These rumors are not true, someone wants to step on the royal face to climb up, is there some chaos in the barracks now?" ”
Yao Hua gave her four words: "The army's spirit is unstable." ”
Changshu knew that this was the case.
The prestige of the Wen family in the army is too high, and now that they suddenly learned that the royal family was framed by the Wen family like this, those people in the barracks must have some ideas.
If there is another person who claims to be a member of the Wen family at this time, as long as he confirms these things and makes everyone acquiesce that it is the royal family who is sorry for the Wen family and cruelties to Zhongliang, then he only needs to raise his arms and shout, and those reckless men in the army who were once loyal to the Wen family and followed the Wen family to protect the family and defend the country to the death, are afraid that under an impulse, they will directly oppose him.
This is still on the side of righteousness.
"And ......"
Yao Hua's face was a little tangled, and when he saw Changshu looking over, he said: "There are also people who say that because Her Royal Highness the princess wants to rehabilitate the Wen family, and now she is imprisoned by the emperor in the Changle Palace, the King of Qi rebelled, under the guise of His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Prince, and wanted to seek justice for the two Highnesses and the Wen family." ”
Changshu's tone finally lost her calmness, and she raised her eyes to look at Yao Hua incredulously: "Was his brain kicked by a donkey?" Hongu is not dead yet, didn't he think about what to do if these rumors were debunked? ”
Yao Hua lowered his eyes: "His Royal Highness is closed in Changle Palace, which is a seclusion in the eyes of outsiders." ”
Changshu frowned.
She always felt that this matter was not so simple.
The Great Yin Dynasty has been smooth in recent years, except for the occasional turmoil on the border, the prosperity of the times can be faintly seen in other places.
Where did King Qi get the confidence to think that his rebellion could succeed?
