Ji Nian was escorted back to her room, and Ji Yuan no longer let her out, and she was not even allowed to contact the outside world with the people around her.

Ji Yuan burned all the letters she wrote, looking at the bright and uncertain firelight, the expression on his face was also a little uncertain.

Ji Nian was also looking at the light and was silent, and if her grandfather hadn't spoken, she had made up for it herself.

Grandfather really doesn't plan to care about her anymore, and after this time, the grandparents and grandchildren will be considered to have severed their relationship?

Her heart suddenly hurt a little, but she was really for the good of her grandfather, since she had taken refuge in Daliang, if she could separate Emperor Chu and Xiang Shan, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

Ji Nian sat under the lamp and thought about it for half a night, and before she could think it through, the time came. Someone came to see her out.

Ji Nian looked out, didn't see his grandfather, and his heart jumped, "Where is grandfather?" ”

The subordinate bowed his head and said, "The old lady hasn't woken up yet, the little one is here to send the eldest lady out." ”

Ji Nian's face turned pale, even if she had already guessed, it still made her a little unacceptable when it came true.

"Miss, people are already waiting outside, let's go."

Ji Nian looked at the main courtyard for a while, and finally knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully three times in the direction of the main courtyard, and then got up to leave.

The group opened the side door in a low-key manner, got into a donkey cart, and there were two servant women waiting in it, Ji Nian got into the car, and the car started slowly, and the servant woman took out two packages and said in a low voice: "Ladies change their clothes, let's dress up the three of them." ”

Without a mirror, Ji Nian didn't know what she had become, so she could only let these two servants turn upside down on their faces.

The servant woman whispered, "Young ladies don't need to speak, just bow your head when you get to the city gate, and if someone asks you, you just pretend to be cowardly." ”

The two servant women seem to do such things often, and they look confident, but in fact it is not difficult to get out of the city.

At this time, the city gate was opened, and most of the people who were going to flee to the south, and mainly the middle and lower classes, everyone traveled almost exclusively in donkey carts and mule carts, and their donkey carts were mixed in one of them.

The soldiers defending the city just lifted the curtain and took a brief look at it and let it go, and the donkey cart went out of the city smoothly, but the difficulty was the remaining road.

Everyone is inevitable, how do they pass through the pass to the country of Liang in the east?

Without waiting for Ji Nian to understand, this donkey cart was going south with the flow of people, they had to go south first, and then enter Liang through Qianzhou, now south of Guizhou, and east of Lianzhou are the territory of Daliang, and the control in the south is much looser than that of Chudu, and it is easier to get out of the customs.

Ji Nian didn't know that she was going to have to bypass half of the Chu Kingdom before she could get out, and she was still worried about her grandfather who was left alone in the Chu capital.

Ji Yuan also stayed awake all night, but after dawn, he cheered up, first rejected all invitations to her posts for Ji Nian, and then called out that he was sick.

Ji Nian has not only been aiming at the prince of Chu in the past few years in the Chu State, and the network of contacts she operates is also very large, so she continues to socialize every day, just depending on whether she is willing to participate.

Ji Yuan rarely interferes in her affairs, but now he regrets letting her go too much.

After Ji Nian "called his illness", Ji Yuan went out to meet friends as usual, and occasionally met some students who came to study and celebrities who visited.

At the same time, his contacts with Song Ji and other court officials became more intimate.

Ji Yuan's wisdom and prestige are in front of the world, so many people are willing to listen to his opinion.

Although he has never participated in the politics of the Chu State over the years, he has not been less instructed by officials who come to the door to seek advice, so no one doubts that he dug a hole in the occasional mention as usual.

The inside and outside of the court of Chu still looked confident that he could recover the lost land and repel the enemy, but Xiang Shan, who was on the front line, sensitively sensed that something was wrong.

First of all, the grain and grass that had always been on time were not delivered in time, and when he sent a quartermaster to urge him repeatedly, the grain and grass sent by the household department was insufficient.

The reason given by Song Ji is very strong, the people can't escape, they can't collect taxes, the treasury is empty, these are still squeezed out from everywhere, and the remaining grain and grass have to be forcibly levied.

Then there is the equipment that should be replaced and repaired much slower, and the supply of arrows that consumes the most is not even one-third of what it used to be.

In the end, he found that the generals under him were suddenly difficult to reconcile, and their opinions on him, the commander-in-chief, suddenly became bigger, and although they were not targeted everywhere, they began to slack off on orders.

Xiang Shan had a bad relationship with Emperor Chu, and he had always been very vigilant, and the slightest disturbance would startle him, not to mention that this was not a disturbance, so he immediately sent someone back to the capital to inquire.

There are also people in the Xiang family who are officials in the court, and they quickly replied to him, saying that he had recently written a letter to make His Majesty move the capital and provoke public anger.

Although His Majesty did not speak, his expression was also very unhappy, as if he had a mustard in his heart, so let Xiang Shan be careful.

Xiang Shan received the letter, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The capital is not far from Jiangling Hongzhou of Liang State, and now half of the troops of Liang State are surrounded here, what does it mean that we keep a Kyoto, but we want to lose the entire Great Chu?" ”

"The royal family of Liang also moved south, and it is for this reason that Lin Ying was able to lead most of the troops of Liang to deal with the Liao army, recover the lost land, and help the royal family of Liang to return to Liang, why can't my Chu State temporarily abandon the capital?" Xiang Shan clenched into a fist and said angrily: "They are all a group of rats who are short-sighted and only care about their immediate interests!" ”

If Emperor Chu does not move south, they will have to spend their troops here, surrounded by the Liang army, and they can't get their troops if they want to recover the lost land.

But if the imperial court moves south and is arranged in the hinterland of Chu State, he will have no worries, and he can divide his troops into four routes, attack Liang and Shu in a roundabout way, and always force people out.

Liang Shu's grain and grass transportation is not as good as them, it is impossible to spend too long here, as little as one year, as much as three years, as long as this period of time, the Chu State will be just around the corner to recover the lost land.

What are you doing in Kyoto?

Can the treasure that cannot be removed be as important as the whole country?

When the Liang royal family moved south, except for the prince and princess and concubines, the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury were not taken, and they were all cheaper than the Liao army, and I didn't see how much Emperor Liang hesitated.

Xiang Shan was angry here, Chu was there, and Emperor Chu was also angry because of Xiang Shan, he threw Xiang Shan's fold aside, out of sight, and asked, "How is the battle on the front line?" ”

"General Xiang has won great victories in several days, and has recovered three county seats, but it is just ......"

"Just what?" Emperor Chu frowned and looked at him, obviously a little displeased with his spitting.

The official bowed his head and said: "It's just that there is a report from the front, General Xiang will not allow the soldiers to pursue after recovering the two county towns, it seems that he is afraid of an ambush, and he has been consolidating the defense during this time, or General Chen is not convinced, and he led his troops to attack privately, so he took another city." ”

The man cautiously glanced up at Emperor Chu and whispered: "I just heard that General Xiang was very angry, and sent someone to arrest General Chen, and asked for military justice, or the generals interceded, and General Chen was still required to guard the Jiangling defense line, so I beat the twenty military staffs." ”

Emperor Chu obviously heard about this for the first time, and sneered when he heard this: "Twenty military staff can also take a life, right?" ”

"Yes, I heard that General Chen is still lying in bed unconscious."

Emperor Chu slapped the table fiercely and asked, "Xiang Shan, what is he going to do?" It's been almost a year, but the Liang army has not been repulsed! ”

The official nodded silently, Xiang Shan had only taken over the Chu army for more than six months, and the tide of the battle had only reversed since he took over, and at this point, he couldn't slander it, but he didn't expect His Majesty to make an excuse himself.

Emperor Chu was furious and asked, "Did Xiang Shanke say when he would be able to repel the Liang army?" ”

"Your Majesty, General Xiang said that unless the imperial court moves south, he can't ......"

"No way? I gave him most of the troops of the Chu State, but he told me that there was no way," Emperor Chu slapped the table and shouted: "Is it so easy for the imperial court to move south? The entire royal family, as well as the courtiers and their families, how many documents do the ministries have to bring? ”

Moving south?

fled south like a lost dog, and became the laughing stock of the world like the first emperor of Liang State?

Xiang Shan felt that the first emperor of Liang was struggling to survive, and he succeeded in the end, but in the eyes of Emperor Chu, this was a stain on the first emperor of Liang for a lifetime, and it would be recorded in the annals of history.

He himself looked down on the first emperor of the Liang State, and even secretly laughed at the other party.

Dumb and incompetent, he couldn't keep the country, he was beaten by the Liao people and even lost the palace, and he was also pressed on his head by a courtier.

Personally killing two sons to atone for a courtier's sins, this is simply a shame for being an emperor, so Xiang Shan proposed that he move south, and he was the most opposed.

But because he still has to use Xiang Shan, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he is not good at showing it too obviously, and just makes his henchmen fold and oppose it.

He had already put this issue aside, thinking that the hint was obvious enough, who knew that Xiang Shan would continue to write, and at this time, he didn't want to regain the lost land, he just wanted to let him move south!

Moving south?

That would be a disgrace to his ancestors, and he would never do such a thing.

The official complained and left, just as Xiang Shan sent a fold of urging grain, grass and armaments from the front line, and Emperor Chu thought it was another proposal to move south, so he immediately threw it aside without looking at it.

The chamberlain silently picked it up and put it aside, pressing it against it with other folds.

And just when Xiang Shanjiu couldn't wait for a response, the fifth prince arrived in Hongzhou one step before the eldest prince of Shu.

As soon as he entered the Hongzhou camp, he rushed to find Lin Qingwan with red eyes, if it weren't for the guards around him to stop him, he would have brought his own sword.

The fifth prince rushed into Lin Qingwan's tent, and when he saw her sitting there leisurely drinking tea, he suddenly became angry, ran over and asked, "Lin Qingwan, let me ask you, do you have a grudge against me?" ”

Lin Qingwan looked up and saw him, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Why did the Fifth Highness say this, I am a righteous brother and sister with you, only relatives, how can there be enmity?" ”

"Then why are you hurting me?" Speaking of this, the five princes were about to shed tears, as long as they thought that they were going to Shu to be a proton, the day was precarious, and they were suddenly panicked.

Lin Qingwan immediately felt distressed and said: "Fifth brother, don't say that, I have no choice but to propose like this." ”

She hurriedly took out her handkerchief and handed it to him, and said softly: "Now besides you, who else in the court can relieve this sorrow for Your Majesty?" If I don't mention it, then Your Majesty will have to mention it, how sad he will be and how sad you will be when the time comes, that's why I made this wicked person. ”
