Chapter Forty-Eight: The Heart Is Hard to Leave
There are many people in Linzhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city alone.
They all gathered because the emperor was here, and the emperor's departure from Linzhou would of course cause turmoil.
The resettlement of the population is a big problem.
Cui Zheng said: "Your Majesty rest assured, of course we must make proper arrangements before leaving, we can't take everyone back to the capital, we need to disperse and settle in various cities, equipped with enough soldiers and horses to guard, and Your Majesty leaves Linzhou, the thieves will not stare at Linzhou, and this side can be regarded as a safe ......"
"Xiangye, you can't be placed." The emperor interrupted him, "Most of these people are not from Linzhou. ”
At the beginning, Linzhou was besieged by rebels, and the soldiers and civilians of Linzhou were almost dead, and now there are hundreds of thousands of people in Linzhou, some of whom migrated with the army of Wu Ya'er of the imperial court, and some gathered from all directions after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne.
"This is not their hometown." The emperor said, "If I go, they will inevitably follow, how can I keep them?" Do you want the soldiers and horses to lock them up in the city? Let the soldiers and horses drive away and not follow? ”
Naturally, it can't, Cui Zheng groaned.
"Even if I ignore them, they follow them, and they are killed by the rebels along the way, how can I turn a blind eye? Even if I leave Linzhou quickly, if Linzhou is attacked by the rebels and tortures hundreds of thousands of people, how can I sit in peace in the capital? ”
The Emperor began to cry when he said this.
"I can have today because the people of Linzhou protect each other, and I can't abandon them."
Cui Zheng said: "The minister knows that His Majesty is benevolent, but at this time, Your Majesty should return to the capital as soon as possible and make the world safe, so that more people in Daxia can be freed from suffering." ”
The emperor looked at the palms and backs of his hands were all meat that was difficult to give up: "Xiangye, how can you have both?" ”
He looked up at Cui Zheng.
"It's better for Xiangye to take Wu'er back to the capital first, so as to tell the world to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, I will stay in Linzhou, and after the thief is executed, I will return to Beijing."
Cui Zheng said categorically: "How can that be!" When it's ....."
His words were about to be blurted out, but under the gaze of the emperor, he bit the tip of his tongue and was clear in time.
“.... We and other courtiers will relieve Your Majesty's worries. ”
He took two steps back and leaned over to salute.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, and the ministers will summon the ministers to discuss."
......
......
The lights on the palace road were swaying, Cui Zheng was led by a small official carrying a lantern, and the figure was swaying on the ground.
"Then Your Majesty doesn't want to go back?" The little official asked in a low voice.
Cui Zheng said: "No. ”
His voice was faint, and the flickering lights occasionally shone on his face, and his face could be seen to be pale.
If he could, His Majesty would run to the capital now, he didn't want to go back, nor was he worried about the people of Linzhou, he was worried about his own safety! I'm afraid that I will be robbed and killed by Ankang Mountain on the road!
He even said such a thing.
"Your Majesty said that you want Xiangye and the five princes to return to the capital first?" The little official heard him and said in a low voice, "It's not bad, it's safer to go separately." ”
Cui Zheng clenched his hands in his sleeves, but the emperor didn't really mean that.
The emperor meant to ask him to say the next sentence, Your Majesty must not, it should be Your Majesty who will return to the capital first, and the ministers and the five princes will stay in Linzhou to settle the people.
What kind of Anmin, it's obviously an old problem again!
It's want to run! Sneak run.
How can Linzhou leave the court and the five princes to settle the people? Only by coaxing everyone that the emperor is still there, and it is the emperor who stays behind can the people be reassured, and the emperor will not shock the people wherever he goes in the name of the five princes.
I can't tell anyone these words, Cui Zheng's face is solemn and annoyed, where is the majesty of the big summer!
.......
.......
"He just wants me to suffer."
In the dimly lit palace where lamp oil was saved, the emperor sat on the dragon bed, looking at a tank of fish on the desk and muttering hatred.
"This world is not lost by me, he has to let me not feel at ease day and night, and tremble night and night."
The emperor broke off a piece of pastry and threw it into the fish tank, and his expression of hatred softened again.
"Eat, eat, eat, this is my ration and save it for you."
The fish wagged their tails and scrambled, swinging a circle of water lines, shattering the shadow cast by the emperor, and the emperor's face turned iron blue again.
"At this time, I should be allowed to go back secretly and leave immediately, the longer I wait, the more troublesome it will be."
"The people can't see if I'm here or not, it's not up to you to decide!"
With that, he smashed half of the pastry in his hand into the water.
"Don't think I don't know, you have a small honor guard, you just want me to die in Linzhou!"
The fish scrambled and swayed, splashing and splashing, and an attendant leaned out from outside the curtain and called His Majesty: "Your Majesty should rest, take care of the dragon's body." ”
The Emperor put his hands on his knees: "Got it, I'm going to rest." ”
And the chamberlain came in and served.
The emperor asked, "The people are preparing to return to Beijing, right?" Happy, right? ”
The chamberlain said in a low voice: "No, Your Majesty, everyone seems to be crying, and they ran to the official office to cry and beg Your Majesty not to leave." ”
The emperor was shocked: "Why? ”
The chamberlain looked out, which made the emperor's face a little unsightly, but also, he didn't live alone in this palace, and Cui Zheng was there.
"Now they are all saying that there are many organs set up along the road of Ankang Mountain, and thousands of troops are sad." The chamberlain said in a low voice, "The people from the capital died seven or eight thousand along the way, so they came here." ”
The emperor was even more surprised: "Really? How can it be? ”
"The slave asked people to ask Liu Fan, and he categorically denied it, saying that there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the old men who died were also because of illness." The chamberlain whispered, "I don't know how it spread outside." ”
The Emperor stood up and took a few steps: "How is this good?" ”
The chamberlain hurriedly relieved: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the prime minister and the officials have already appeased the people, saying that Your Majesty will not leave, and you must settle everyone before returning to Beijing." ”
The emperor sat down and said with a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”
The chamberlain pouted: "Then Your Majesty is really not leaving?" You don't need Your Majesty to come forward to settle the people, so many officials are here, Xiangye is really ....."
The emperor interrupted him: "Don't talk about this, Xiangye is dedicated to the court." ”
"Your Majesty is kind and talkative." The chamberlain complained, "Xiangye is dedicated to the court, but not to His Majesty." ”
"Don't say it, you slave." The Emperor waved his hand, "I'm going to rest, won't you let me get a good night's sleep?" ”
The inner attendant replied that the slave and maid were guilty of putting down the curtain and retreating outside, and the emperor called him again.
Through the curtain, the emperor's low voice came: "Inquire more about the outside world." ”
The chamberlain leaned over and responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slaves and maids are watching." ”
There was no sound in the curtain, and the chamberlain slowly retreated.
......
......
When the sky was bright, Liu Fan followed the little official into the palace again, this time it was not Cui Zheng or the emperor who summoned him, but Xiang Yun.
"I'm now in charge of the guards in Linzhou, and I will arrange the soldiers and horses when I return to Beijing, so I'll ask Mr. Liu to tell me about the road again."
Xiang Yun sat in front of the desk, his face a little weak, but his voice was calm.
The cramped room was crowded with many generals.
Liu Fan Shili responded that he would not hide the situation on the road after leaving Beijing, Xiang Yun listened carefully, and marked the map spread out in front of him, and the officials discussed and pointed in a low voice.
"Governor Xiang." Liu Fan finished speaking and asked, "What is this way to go?" ”
Hearing him suddenly ask, Jiang You, who was standing on the side, frowned, this is not appropriate, whether you can go or not is not up to Xiang Yun, this lady of Chu is really arrogant.
Xiang Yun had already spoken: "I can go, no problem." ”
Liu Fan gave a salute: "Sure enough, it's the governor of Xiangdu." ”
Jiang You also breathed a sigh of relief, of course Xiang Dudu can go, even if he doesn't have three thousand soldiers and horses, he can take this road, only talking about himself, not representing others.
Liu Fan wanted to ask something, someone came in and whispered a few words to Xiang Yun, and Xiang Yun stood up and said to everyone: "Mingyu is back, I went to Your Majesty." ”。
Hearing this, the generals in the room looked a little complicated.
"That's not true." An elderly general said, "When it's so dangerous, don't run out without saying goodbye, this is to be dealt with by military law." ”
Jiang You said: "I'm afraid that at this time, I will have to talk about age in front of military law." ”
Xiang Yun interrupted them: "Okay, don't say it, Mingyu will explain it to His Majesty." ”
He looked at Liu Fan and got up to invite.
"Mr. Liu, you come with me, let's go to see Your Majesty, and we just happened to discuss with Governor Li."
Liu Fan knew who this Mingyu and Li Dudu they were talking about, and it sounded as if this little Governor had done something inappropriate, and he responded.
Xiang Yun sat on the shoulders given by the emperor and walked towards the main hall with Liu Fan.
"I have long admired the name of Mrs. Chu." On the way, Xiang Yun chatted with Jiang You, "When the Wudu Governor left Linzhou, I knew that the recovery of the capital was just around the corner. ”
Liu Fan said: "This fighter is fleeting, and Madame took a risk to get the right time and place and take the capital." ”
"It is true that fighter planes are rare, and not ordinary people dare to take risks." Xiang Yun nodded, and saluted again, "Thank you that Madame does not dislike the little nephew Xiang Nan, and hand over Huainan Road to him to guard." ”
Liu Fan returned the salute: "Here in Huainan, it is none other than Xiang Wei who can resist Andezhong's rebels. ”
Not to mention guarding Huainan Road, only to fight against the Andezhong rebels, Xiang Yun smiled and accepted his praise, and did not speak again, the palace of the emperor's deliberations arrived, Xiang Yun fell off his shoulder, and an attendant ran forward to help him.
"Mingyu is still here with His Majesty." Xiang Yun asked.
The chamberlain said in a low voice: "I've been in for a while, crying, Your Majesty is coaxing." ”
Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Father-in-law, please give a ......"
Before his words fell, a young man's voice came from the hall.
"Your Majesty, can you go back to the capital! Who told you to go back to the capital? That's to hurt you, Your Majesty! ”
Xiang Yun's voice paused, and he glanced at Liu Fan next to him, Liu Fan's brows frowned slightly, this son ...... Poor. 2k reading web
