When they entered Beijing and saw Wu Ya'er appearing, they guessed that something had happened to Mrs. Chu Guo.

After they came, they never saw Mrs. Chu Guo, and after inquiring in the past few days, they found that not only they had not seen it, but many people in the capital had not seen it.

The officials in the yamen were almost never seen, and more than a dozen officials from Huainan Province were in charge of the operation.

The powerful and rich have all proposed to visit, but they have only seen Jiang Liang, who claims to be the guest of Mrs. Chu.

There are porridge sheds set up by Mrs. Chu at the four gates of the capital and along the way, but the people have never seen Mrs. Chu go on a cruise.

At first, the two suspected that Mrs. Chu Guo had not entered Beijing at all, and asked Liu Fan, who categorically said that of course she had entered Beijing.

"As soon as I entered Beijing, my wife personally supervised the repair of the palace." Liu Fan said calmly, "Check the spies in the palace to ensure that Your Majesty will have no worries after returning to Beijing, and my wife will personally explain to me when I go to Linzhou." ”

The two asked to see Mrs. Chu Guo.

Liu Fan said calmly: "Madame is unwell and can't see guests, she can't move in the palace, and the place where she lives is covered with a curtain, and I only said a few words outside." ”

So what is this disease? Have the doctors seen it? Liu Fan couldn't say anything about these questions, he just said that his wife said that it would be good to raise them.

"Nothing to worry about." Liu Fan said, "The governor is here, you two adults are also here, besides, Your Majesty will be back soon." ”

That's what worries me the most! The more the two adults thought about it, the more wrong it became, they didn't believe the officials of Huainan Province, and the old officials didn't believe it, these people could live in the capital and attach themselves to Ankang Mountain for their lives, and they were naturally bought by Mrs. Chu.... Not to mention Wu Ya'er, who is a person who can even be coaxed by Emperor Cui Zheng.

said again and again that the north was important and couldn't go away, but it came out of the capital.

The war in the north is so important, but it came out of the capital, and he didn't leave for so many days, so it can be seen that something must have happened in the capital.

"Don't guess, it must be Mrs. Chu who is injured." Wu Dadao, "I have inquired from those foot merchants, Mrs. Chu Guo did leave Huainan Province to personally lead troops to fight the capital, this is not the first time she has done this, she has traveled in person many times, there are no eyes on the battlefield, it seems that she was injured here in the capital." ”

The injury is not light, and it may not be long before Lord Zheng nodded, so Wu Ya'er had to come to the town, and he was so eager for His Majesty to come back.

Look at the chaotic management of the capital, soldiers and horses set up checkpoints outside the city, officials and messengers patrol the streets every day, and people are constantly being taken away for labor.

"It's really as Li Mingyu guessed." Lord Wu said in a low voice, "There is no stability here in the capital, so I want Your Majesty to come back, in order to ask for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against Ankang Mountain." ”

Lord Zheng stretched out his hand and compared his fingers on the map, and lowered his hoarse voice: "The capital and Taiyuan Mansion are so close, how dangerous it is for Your Majesty to come here, will it be time to trek again to escape from the capital?" ”

He flicked his sleeves and paced around the room.

"You can't come to this capital! At least not now! ”

Lord Wu looked at his arm, angry and sad: "Wu Ya'er and his wife are really bold, they actually tricked Your Majesty into danger. ”

He also lost an arm.

So what now?

The officials asked them when His Majesty would come, and what national congratulations would be held during the Chinese New Year, and the Wudu Governor also came to invite them to participate several times, and told the civil and military officials and people about His Majesty in Linzhou.

What does that mean? This is to let them tell everyone that His Majesty is coming back, so that the people can rest assured!

Can they do that?

Can you bring His Majesty back at this time?

At this time, can it still be said that Mrs. Chu Guo should be stationed in Linzhou?

"Absolutely not, coming back at this time will hurt Great Xia." Master Zheng said categorically, pointing to Lord Wu's arm, "Your arm can't be lost in vain!" ”

Lord Wu nodded resolutely according to the broken arm: "Then what should I do?" ”

Master Zheng looked outside: "Drag!" ”

His Majesty is now in Linzhou, it is very safe, if you lose the capital again, it is a pity, but it is not a big loss.

But Wu Ya'er and his wife are different, if they lose the capital, the great achievement will become a joke.

If Your Majesty doesn't come, they will have to find a way to defend the capital one day.

To do this, they also need a helper.

"Mr. Liu, you have been to Linzhou in person, do you know what it is like over there, how many people there are, can Your Majesty just leave?"

"How prosperous Linzhou is, if it is not resettled, the prosperity will be dispersed."

"Your Majesty wants to settle Linzhou, and we have to settle how the capital can receive so many people and businesses in Linzhou, only in this way can we ensure stability."

"The capital is as important as it is dangerous, so you must think carefully to be sure."

"Mr. Liu, did you say?"

was invited by the two to talk behind closed doors, and finally when it came to this, Liu Fan finally understood.

"You mean, don't ask Your Majesty to come back to Beijing?" He asked.

Master Zheng hurriedly sighed: "No, how can we mean this!" ”

"Just now." Lord Wu added, looking at his broken arm, sighed, "Not to mention the danger of the road for the time being, the capital is not stable, we have looked carefully up and down these days, and the capital is still very untidy." ”

"Of course, this is not because of Mrs. Chu." Master Zheng explained, "The capital has been poisoned by thieves for too long and too deeply, so ....."

Before he finished his words, Liu Fan stood up and saluted: "I am willing to help the two adults straighten out the capital and give His Majesty and Great Xia a stable and strong capital." ”

Sure enough, it was still easy to convince the doorman, and Lord Wu and Lord Zheng looked at each other with joy.

"Mr. Liu has great talents." Lord Zheng said solemnly, "When Your Majesty returns to Beijing, you should invite Mr. to enter the court as an official." ”

No matter how powerful Mrs. Chu is, to put it bluntly, she is just a slave, where can she compare to being an official and being the master, not to mention a scholar who was born in a cold window, and this talent is sold to the emperor's family.

Selling to a woman, but there is no way, and now that there is a ladder to the sky, who can refuse.

Liu Fan saluted again: "A certain talent, do your best for the people of Daxia." ”

Lord Zheng held his hands with both hands, and Lord Wu supported him with one hand, "Mr. is modest." The three of them clasped their hands tightly, "We should work together." ”

After the three of them were concentric, Lord Zheng and Lord Wu accepted Wu Ya'er's invitation to participate in and presided over the New Year's banquet of the officials, but the banquet did not celebrate the recovery of the capital.

The overall meaning is that now that Ankang Mountain has not been ambushed, the rebellion has not been quelled, and it is not yet time to celebrate, what everyone needs to do now is to make the capital more stable, so that after welcoming back His Majesty and the imperial court, the world can get real peace.

On the second day of the banquet, Liu Fan wrote a letter of proposal to Mrs. Chu Guo, suggesting that she should not ask His Majesty to return to Beijing first, pointing out the many shortcomings of the capital and the weakness of the guards.

The officials up and down listened clearly and confusedly.

"Does this mean that Your Majesty will not return to Beijing now?"

"Of course you don't go back, you didn't listen to Lord Zheng and Lord Wu, the current capital is not good, and it will be very dangerous for Your Majesty to come back."

"The two of them are here to investigate."

"And Liu Fan, he also said so, he has been to Linzhou, this must be what it means over there."

"Okay, okay, let's do things quickly, Lord Zheng and Lord Wu have taken over the yamen, and a lot of things have to be redone, and it is said that it will not work."

The officials of Huainan Province were originally there to help, and they could do whatever they wanted, and the officials who reused the capital were nervous, and they were more willing to do more time, so that His Majesty and the court could see their sincerity.

So with the new year, the order in the capital became stricter, the officials were busier, repairing the city walls, digging trenches, leveling roads, etc., and the people suddenly had a lot of verification rules, and the government did not hide it from everyone, saying that the adults from Linzhou were strict, all in order to welcome back His Majesty, and the people could understand, but there were still some words coming out......

"We've done everything, the people of Linzhou are so relaxed, just come back and enjoy the blessings."

......

......

Li Minglou smiled and motioned to Jiang Liang to stop these words, and not to go too far.

"Madame, don't worry, I know." Jiang Liang smiled and said, "I'm very relaxed now, just do some small things to fan the flames, and Liu Fan did all the other things." ”

Li Minglou asked, "What's going on?" Why did those two adults suddenly change their minds? ”

She hadn't done anything yet.

Jiang Liang said with a smile: "It is precisely because Madame has done nothing that they become suspicious, it is said that they think that Madame is seriously injured and has died, so they want Your Majesty to return to Beijing and ask a large army to guard the capital." ”

Therefore, they cannot let His Majesty risk returning to Beijing at this time.

is really a suspicious person, he lied to himself, Li Minglou left it alone: "Don't let them mess around and mess with us." ”

Jiang Liang replied solemnly: "Madame, don't worry." ”

Yuan Ji came in with a letter in his hand: "Madam, the letter from Shangzhou is here." ”

Jiang Liang took the initiative to say goodbye, walked out of the door and looked back, Li Minglou had already looked down at the letter, he was a little curious, Mrs. hadn't asked him to write a letter for a long time, who sent the letter from Shangzhou? New love?

As soon as his thoughts flashed, he saw Mrs. Chu Guo throw the letter into the charcoal stove, and her delicate face appeared angry.

......

......

"I hope that Mr. Yu can go back to the palace, go to His Majesty's side, and then tell Your Majesty."

Master Wu Qi sat on the couch and said with a solemn expression.

"Wu Ya'er is a filthy adulterer."
