Chapter 678: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
"There are also in Shu! After the ground movement occurs, the guards will light fireworks. This is a signal, only if there is a movement in Shuzhong, the people in the stick point will send a signal! ”
"When people from thirty miles away see fireworks, they light the fireworks in their hands in the same way, and continue in turn."
Seeing that King Rui wanted to speak, Sui Feng said: "There are the same fireworks in Beijing, if King Rui doesn't believe it, you can light a bucket and try it to see if you can see it clearly thirty miles away." ”
Rui Wang's doubts were pointed out by him, and his face was not very good-looking for a while.
Wen Yan snorted coldly: "Naturally, I want to give it a try!" ”
The matter has come to this point, and the emperor will not stop him, so he raised his hand falsely. Fu Zi received the order and looked at Sui Feng. Sui Feng said: "There is a steward of the trading house waiting at the gate of the palace. ”
Fukuko nodded and walked out quickly.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Fuzi came back and said: "The slaves went to the city gate, and the forbidden army went thirty miles outside the city. After a pause, he said: "Today's air is gloomy, in this case, you can still see it clearly, if the air is clear, it will be clearer." ”
Sui Feng glanced in the direction of King Rui and said, "This distance has been tested many times. ”
"Actually, you can still see it forty miles away, but the head of the family has taken into account the reason for the gas, so he would rather set up a few more than do useless work."
The emperor nodded.
Rui Wang's face was even more ugly, as if he had been slapped in the face!
The crown prince didn't care about arguing with King Rui, and waved his hands and said, "Father, how should I give an order now?" ”
"Do as planned!" The emperor said: "You will leave Beijing immediately." ”
The crown prince nodded yes, turned around and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.
Lu Huaiping, the secretary of the military department waiting outside the hall, followed the footsteps of the prince, and reported the situation of the soldiers and generals accompanying him as he walked: "I have set the deputy general of Fengzhou, Bian Yushan, and bring 20,000 soldiers." ”
"The Fengzhou side has also complied with the imperial order, and the deputy general is leading his troops to Beijing. In about half an hour, they will be able to camp outside the city. ”
The prince glanced sideways at Lu Huaiping and nodded thoughtfully.
After walking a few more steps, he said, "Lu Shangshu is bothered." ”
He guessed that Lu Huaiping had two reasons for choosing Bian Yushan.
First, because when he went to Zhezhou, he was responsible for the accompanying protection of Bianyu Mountain, and the communication and cooperation would be more tacit.
The second reason is that Bian Yushan is one of the lieutenants second only to Zhang Huaipu, the commander of the Fengzhou battalion.
And Zhang Huaipu is because of Princess Rui, and he is the party of King Rui.
Even though King Rui is now powerless in Beijing, Fengzhou is still the most powerful help of King Rui, and there is no one.
If you can promote Bian Yu Mountain to the top position, it will be an excellent strategy for drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
When Lu Huaiping heard the prince's words, his heart was overjoyed, and he said again and again: "It's a blessing that Weichen can serve the prince for one or two." ”
Compared with the courtiers who have already stood in the court and the courtiers who have not stood but have a heart like a mirror, Lu Huaiping only sat on the post of Shangshu after Shan Yi'an was dismissed, which can be regarded as a late step.
In the early days of his tenure, he was cautious and no one dared to exonerate himself.
Neither dare to rashly cater to the prince, nor dare to offend King Rui.
After these few errands were done, they ended up in a neutral name as they wished.
It's just that the situation between the DPRK and China has become more and more obvious in recent days, and even if he is blind, he should see it clearly.
The news of the great movement in Shuzhong was transmitted back to Beijing, which shocked the government and the opposition, and how many people knelt down to worship the Buddha in the golden hall, praying for the people of Shuzhong to be safe.
Jiang Lingran is also one of them.
Xiang Zhu saw Jiang Lingran kneeling for a long time, and stepped forward and said, "Madam, it'll be fine." ”
Jiang Lingran's gaze withdrew from the benevolent Bodhisattva's face, lowered his eyes and said, "I know." ”
"I believe in Him."
Xiang Zhu paused, and then said: "You are now a person with a double body, and you can't return for a long time." ”
"Let's go back."
Jiang Lingran nodded slightly.
On the same day, the prince led his troops out of Beijing, and with the departure of the prince, Beijing seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
And King Rui didn't get a good face in the Qinzheng Palace, so after leaving, he went to ask Concubine Yi for peace.
Everyone was busy with disaster relief, but no one paid attention to Concubine Yi, the grounded person.
Mother and son met.
Concubine Yi wiped her tears and said, "The emperor is so ruthless. ”
King Rui was tired of Concubine Yi's crying, but he also knew that Concubine Yi's honor and disgrace were tied to him, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
patiently comforted Concubine Yi and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother, Erchen will definitely work hard." ”
Concubine Yi shook her head hopelessly when she heard this: "Since you have this determination, how can you not fight for the errand of going to Shuzhong for disaster relief?" By the crown prince, he came out on top! ”
"Last time the prince went to the Two Lakes for disaster relief, how high was his prestige after returning to Beijing? If he returns safely this time, we won't even have the slightest chance. ”
King Rui sneered: "The mother concubine is confused! ”
Concubine Yi looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Erchen secretly went to the Qin prison before." King Rui said: "Even they can't measure anything, this news is false nine times out of ten!" ”
"Yan Qi, he is going to make waves with a distress letter written two months ago, I won't bite this fishhook!"
"The prince is now in Baba's past, and he will have to suffer when he looks back." He smiled, looking very expectant.
Concubine Yi hesitated when she heard this, and was silent for a moment and said, "But what if it's true?" ”
Is there any benefit to Yan Qi doing this?
Who will do a thankless job?
King Rui squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "If there is a case, then I can't go!" ”
Concubine Yi was puzzled again.
King Rui said: "Yan Qi's miscellaneous pieces are the most black-hearted, if I go to Shuzhong this time, he will not be able to make a black hand on me." Insidiously give me an accident name. ”
"And if there is really a movement, then Shuzhong is the most dangerous place, if I go to if there is really an accident, what should I do there?"
"Nowadays, only Jingzhong is the safest!"
When Concubine Yi heard him like this, the expression on her face became a little dazed, and most of the fighting spirit between her eyebrows and eyes was scattered.
There was silence for a long time, but he could not come out of anything.
Rui Wang sat bored and offered to leave. Concubine Yi spoke at this time: "Is the princess in better health?" ”
King Rui's face sank when he heard this, and his eyes were undisguised disgust, and he said very coldly: "Maybe it's better." ”
When Concubine Yi heard this, she knew that he had not visited Princess Rui, shook her head lightly, and sighed: "Husband and wife are one, you are not good and always snub her." ”
"If the Zhang family knows, I'm afraid it will also give rise to resentment."
King Rui responded perfunctorily.
Concubine Yi said again: "I heard that Jiang Lingran sent someone to send supplements?" ”
King Rui lowered his head and dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes, and said lightly: "Listen to it, it's sent." ”
