Chapter 487: Advancing and Retreating Together (First Update)
Gu Mingzhu was invited to the main hall, and Cui Lin did not hide it from her, and told her all the news he knew: "...... Now that the official roads leading to Chang'an have been blocked, there is no way to know the news of Chang'an, and even this secret report was sent by the people of Chang'an Cui Mansion by all means, but the situation after that is no longer known. ”
He frowned slightly: "There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Anxi Mansion, and this time King Chen Liuwang is leading the elite to attack Chang'an at night, but I am afraid that it will not be as easy to resist as before." ”
There is a huge disparity in the number of people between the two sides, even if Gu Qing is in Chang'an, it is difficult to have a chance of winning, and Chang'an is afraid that it will fall.
Gu Mingzhu's face was very ugly, no one thought that after Li Nian escaped, he would be able to raise troops to rebel again, and even won the right to defend the army of Anxi Mansion and attacked Chang'an in a big way, and now Chang'an is afraid that he can't imagine it.
Others may not know, but she herself knows that the defense of Chang'an and Taiji Palace has gone through the last turmoil, and it has not yet had time to be purged, and now it is empty, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand an attack by the rebels.
She said in a deep voice, "How many days ago was this news?" ”
Cui Lin said: "Hurry up and send it to Boling, it's already four days ago." ”
On the fourth day, Chang'an was afraid that it was already a catastrophe, and he didn't know what the situation was in the palace, as well as the people in the general's mansion and the county lord's mansion.
Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, she frowned and thought for a while, and said: "After the previous incident, the Xishan battalion was all replaced, and the position of commander was still vacant, Chang'an's defense was empty, and many people were replaced in the Taiji Palace guards, the East Palace was vacant, and the East Palace guards were useless, but I am afraid that it was not the strength of the rebels, and the rebels were afraid that they had already entered the palace at this moment." ”
So the Queen Mother also fell into the hands of King Chen Liu?
Gu Mingzhu's palms gradually became sweaty, the Gu family was already tied to the Queen Mother's warship, if the Queen Mother had been held by King Chen Liu, then the Gu family and even the entire Hou Party would be in danger.
No one will forget the bloody case in the Zhao State Mansion at the beginning, and the blood of countless people flowed under the high imperial throne.
"If the Queen Mother and the saint fall into the hands of the rebels, I am afraid that the edict has already been issued at this moment." Cui Lin pondered for a while and shook his head, "Only when the Queen Mother gives an edict, or the edict of the first emperor, can he justifiably ascend to the throne of God." ”
Gu Mingzhu also nodded, yes, if King Chen Liuwang wants to ascend to the throne smoothly, he will not be scolded by the world, only pretentious.
If he really had the Queen Mother and the saint in his hands, he would have done everything to cover up this rebellion, but there is still news.
Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu glanced at each other and said, "I'll rush back to Chang'an." ”
Gu Mingzhu already understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "I'll go with you, Chang'an and the palace are in chaos at this time, I know the situation in the palace best, and I have the trust of the queen mother, there must be a way." ”
Cui Lin shook his head: "At this time, Chang'an is too dangerous, you can't go anyway, I'll take Qilang into the city quietly, and then decide the situation." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't give in: "The top priority is to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, and also to see my father, he has the military power of the Northwest Prefectures in his hands, and he can transfer troops to the king, so I am the most suitable person." ”
She looked at Cui Lin, her eyes full of trust and persistence: "I'll go with you." ”
Cui Lin's originally cold face was like ice and snow under the warm sun, slowly melting, looking at her for a long time without speaking.
Old Madam Cui, who had been sitting on the upper seat without saying a word, glanced at them sharply, her face was a little complicated, but she opened her mouth: "What the county lord said is that although Chang'an is sinister at this time, there is still a turning point, if the county lord can go back and unite the forces of all parties, he can still have the power to fight." ”
She could see the natural tacit understanding between Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu, as well as each other's concern and persistence, and her heart sank even more, her own Wulang's temperament was best understood by her grandmother, so she was even more worried.
It's just that Mrs. Cui is the head of the Cui family after all, and she knows that this is not the time to care about this, so she didn't mention it, and instructed the grandmother on the side: "Let someone send a message to the clan, ask the uncle in the clan to come to Boling quickly, and then send a letter to Fan Yang, and ask what the Lu family means!" Do you want to betray the family! ”
For hundreds of years, the family has been allied with each other, and the foreign world is the same advance and retreat, there has never been such a thing, it will help Chen Liuwang to rebel, if the family does not move, I am afraid that soon the world will think that the rebellion is supported by several major families in Guanlong, the reputation of the family will be ruined, and the century-old reputation will also fall off the altar, bearing the jokes and scolding of the world.
The Cui family will never allow such a thing to happen!
Gu Mingzhu bent her knees towards Old Madam Cui: "I'll go and prepare." ”
Cui Lin looked at her resolute back, and after a while, he turned around and bowed to Old Madam Cui: "Old Madam, I'll also go and prepare and set off immediately." ”
Since Gu Mingzhu insisted on going, he would do his best to protect her well, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was.
Zheng Yuan didn't hear any news about such a big thing, so she went back to her room from the courtyard of Second Mrs. Cui, asked the maid to remove the hairpin ring for her, and lay crooked on the couch, silently with a cold face.
The maidservant carefully took the green drink to the side of the couch: "The lady is angry, the second lady is just talking, the old lady still cares about Lang Jun and the lady, that set of heads and faces ......"
Don't mention that set of heads, it's just that, when it comes to Zheng Yuan, she is scratching her heart, she thinks that Mrs. Cui values her, so she will give such a valuable recognition gift, but the second lady said that she and those newly married daughters-in-law are the same, where do you care about her identity.
She stretched her face: "That's it, put that head away, I don't lack jewelry, I can see it wherever I can." ”
The maid had no choice but to do so, and said uneasily: "Fang Cai San Langjun went back to the courtyard, and asked if the lady was in the room, so she went to the study, is it ......?"
Do you have to invite Cui Wei back to the room, after all, they just got married, and there is no reason to ignore her husband in the study, isn't it a joke to teach outsiders to see it.
Zheng Yuan was even more unhappy when she heard Cui Wei, and turned her back to the door: "No need, this courtyard is so big, he can't rest there, does he have to come to this room!" ”
She was not happy to see him, that useless appearance, and when she saw him, she was upset, and hated to have nothing to do with her.
The maid was stunned, and wanted to persuade a few words, but she didn't know how to say it, after all, she was also married and had not yet received the house, where could she speak, so she had to promise to withdraw in a low voice.
"Wait." Zheng Yuan seemed to suddenly think of something, sat up and called her, "Go and invite him over." ”
The maid was stunned, and hurriedly agreed to go, relieved, it seems
