Spring shines on Linzhou, and there are no green fields outside the city, only rows of houses.

As soon as the day dawned, the city of Linzhou fell into a noisy and noisy city, busy people, hawking merchants, and children running around.

Officials dressed in official robes and riding horses and chariots walked with some difficulty.

Except for the prime minister and the general, there were honor guards to open the way, and the other officials were not escorted by chariots and horses, so as not to disturb the people.

Two officials who did not ride horses walked through the crowd on the street, and by the way, they bought two steamed cakes for breakfast, and ate happily.

"Well, it's still the usual way in my hometown."

"Linzhou has abundant materials, and you can have everything you want."

But pinching the money bag, the two officials sighed again: "It's just that everything is getting more and more expensive." ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven." Someone said later, "It's this time again." ”

When the two officials looked back and saw that it was their colleagues who had followed, they saluted each other and walked forward together, discussing what they were going to say in the court today.

"Who knows, but I have to talk about this year's autumn grain."

"Food is getting more and more scarce, it's easy to say this winter, but it's hard to say next winter."

"Now in Linzhou, many people have no intention of farming, and those who want to farm have no land to plant."

"You can collect grain from all over the country and send it."

"There are too many people in Linzhou, not only are there many people, there are many soldiers and horses, people and horses have to eat, how much can be sent from all over the country? Bucket. ”

"What's more, it's not easy to walk on the road now, either rebels or bandits, and it takes a lot of soldiers and horses to escort grain and grass."

The three of them talked and walked to the front of King Lu's mansion, and in the morning light, officials gathered from all directions, and the vendors who sold were also crowded here, selling food and soup.

At the beginning, outside the imperial city, there was such a scene in the morning, but at that time, the state of the prosperous era was extremely pleasing to the eye, but now I don't know whether it is because the vendors are dressed up or the place outside the Lu Wangfu is too small or the situation is unstable and unstable, and I always feel noisy and irritable.

The emperor was kind and loving, and he was extremely protective of the people, and when he heard that there were merchants gathering outside the palace of King Lu, he did not let the guards drive them away, so as not to cut off the livelihood of the people.

However, these people have expanded their livelihoods, and many people have taken the opportunity to set up sheds outside the Lu Wangfu to live, saying that they are setting up stalls, but in fact they are family homes.

There is no order.

"What kind of order do you want?" An elderly official twisted his beard and said, "Linzhou is a place of last resort for Your Majesty, and a place for the people to temporarily live and save their lives. ”

Yes, they are actually too, and the officials around them looked at the palace: "How long will it take for the world to be peaceful?" Only then can the emperor return to the capital, and the people will return to their own places and settle down. ”

The horse's hooves came from a distance, and the crowded crowd in front of the palace, whether it was officials or traders, took the initiative to disperse, and a team of soldiers and horses escorted several people galloping.

Zhang An and Wang Lin took the lead, followed by Xiang Yun.

"Governor Xiang, we received the news early in the morning, and we will send someone to tell you immediately." Zhang Andao.

Wang Lin added: "Then we have been waiting for you. ”

Xiang Yun nodded: "Thank you two adults for telling me in time." ”

They got the news early in the morning? He received the news before dawn, Xiang Yun's expression was calm and gentle, there was no need to compete in front of people and in words.

Watching the three generals coming, the officials once again burst into low noise, speculating about the progress of the war, or whether there was no progress.

To the surprise of the officials, they heard the progress they had been expecting at today's court meeting.

Wu Ya'er said that he would be able to take the capital in two years.

The big map was propped up by the eunuchs in the hall, and several officials gave detailed instructions on the current situation.

"Liang Zhen led the Mobei Zhenwu army to recover Fanyang, the rebels in Pinglu are gradually retreating, and the defense line in the north is very strong."

"Wudu Governor has taken Weizhou."

"In addition, there is good news, Xiang Yun's brother's son, Xiang Nan, is taking control of Xuanwu Dao, and the Fengwei Army is about to reunite."

"In this way, coupled with Henan Road and Shanxi Road, our guards have formed a situation of encirclement of the rebels in the capital!"

In the main hall, the civil and military officials all bowed down and saluted, shouting "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty", many people knelt down and cried, and the emperor on the dragon chair asked the hundred officials to get up, and he also hid his face and cried.

After the monarchs and ministers felt nostalgic for each other, the court meeting dispersed, and the emperor came to the side hall to continue the court discussion.

The emperor first asked Xiang Yun about Xiang Nan.

"This kid was calm and didn't tell me in detail." Xiang Yundao, "He only said to try at the beginning, Xuanwudao did not rebel, there is still a chance to fight, he is young and has no qualifications, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

The emperor interrupted him and asked, "What is the identity of the little prince?" He waved his hand again, "No matter what, the capable person should occupy an important position, and if he is promoted, how about at least one government rate?" ”

Xiang Yun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he is still young, the official position is not important, the important thing is the ability ....."

Zhang An grabbed the words and said: "Your Majesty, you are too worried, although Xiang Gongzi's official position is not high, his reputation is still not small. ”

"Your Majesty, Xiang Gongzi is the son-in-law personally chosen by the former Li Dudu." Wang Lin added, "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gifted by Miss Li of Jiannan Province. ”

"We also told Master Han that Shannan Province fully supports Xiang Gongzi." Zhang An and Wang Lin said in unison, "Jiannan Dao and our Shannan Dao are one family. ”

"Also, in addition to us, there is Huainan Dao." Zhang An thought of something, "Mrs. Chu and Xiang Gongzi have a great relationship and work together. ”

The two of them talked all over the room, overpowering everything, and everyone who listened to it had their ears buzzing.

"What did you say?" The emperor couldn't help but lean over and ask, Jiannan Dao, Shannan Dao or something, one is a matter of course, and the other is ignored, but this Mrs. Chu ......, "What are the sons of Mrs. Chu and Xiang Gongzi working together?" ”

No one else can answer this..... Xiang Yun didn't necessarily know, well, if he knew, he probably didn't want to say it, Zhang An and Wang Lin glanced at each other, and saw the clarity and pride in their eyes, this matter couldn't be hidden from them, when they learned that the emperor was going to ask Xuanwudao, they didn't care about eating and asked someone to inquire......

The Jiannan Dao entourage sent by Han Xu is really convenient and easy to use, and other things may not be inquired about, and there is nothing they don't know about Xiang Yun and Xiang Nan.

This time, they were able to talk to the emperor.

"Mrs. Chu originally had the intention to reorganize Xuanwudao, at the earliest, Lord Han was in Xuanwudao when he was in distress, and Mrs. Chu saved it with her own hands, and at that time she left soldiers and horses."

"It's just that Huainan Province was still unstable at that time, and An Dezhong in Zhejiang was eyeing him, so Mrs. Chu was powerless."

"Later, Mrs. Chu raided Anton, Xiang Gongzi led troops to help, Mrs. Chu asked him to assist in defending Anton, and she went back to concentrate on recovering Huainan Province steadily."

"Now that Huainan Road is stable, it's time to reorganize Xuanwu Dao, so I worked together with Xiang Gongzi, Xiang Gongzi collected his troops, and Mrs. Chu An Min, who was invincible."

......

......

"So, in the end, Xuanwu Dao has become the credit of Mrs. Chu in their mouths?"

Jiang You asked incredulously.

Xiang Yun didn't speak, and untied his armor.

Jiang You turned to the other side of him: "Your Majesty believes it?" ”

Your Majesty believes in everything, Xiang Yun thought to himself, and said, "Compared with Xiao Nan, Your Majesty certainly believes in Mrs. Chu Guo more." ”

Jiang You said: "My lord, you didn't say anything?" ”

When asked about this, Xiang Yun's temper could no longer be suppressed, and he threw his belt on the table, making a rattling sound.

"He didn't tell me anything, I didn't know anything." He said angrily, "What can I tell Your Majesty? How to protect him? ”

Xiang Yun rarely got angry, and Jiang You hadn't seen it, so he couldn't help but shut up and stop talking.

The room is quiet and the atmosphere is stagnant.

Xiang Yun's emotions were quickly controlled, and he exhaled heavily.

"At this time, I can't speak if I don't know, even if the other party is talking nonsense, I can't say it." He said, "It's better to be honest and don't know, but you can trust Your Majesty more." ”

Jiang You nodded, thinking of a good news: "Don't worry, Governor Du, Zhang An and Wang Lin, Cui Xiangye and Your Majesty will not believe it." ”

He said a few words to Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun nodded, his expression softened slightly: "The money should be spent." It is not possible to save on these people. ”

Jiang You responded: "I understand." ”

Xiang Yun sat down and said: "However, the news of Xuanwudao has not been long ago, and I still don't know anything, Zhang An Wang Lin has been cleared like this, and even the people are crying happily around the banner of Mrs. Chu can be said clearly." ”

"There's nothing strange about it, this must have been sent by Han Xu to send the news, Han Xu, this guy...."Jiang Youdao, raised his eyebrows, "He sent Zhang An Wang Lin to Linzhou, saying that it was for Jiannan Dao, but in fact, it was to wave the flag and shout for Mrs. Chu Guo, this Han Xu was really fascinated by Mrs. Chu Guo." ”

Xiang Yun didn't speak, because it suddenly occurred to him that according to everyone's thoughts, Han Xu was fascinated by Mrs. Chu Guo, so he robbed her of fame, and Xiang Nan helped Mrs. Chu Guo to reorganize Xuanwudao, what happened? It seems that there is a sentence in Zhang An and Wang Lin's words before, what does it matter?
