Chapter 702: News Leaked
The Empress Dowager's pupils shrank, and she said lightly: "Since she is sick, let her recuperate with peace of mind, Mulberry, can you take over all the chores in this palace?" ”
"Yes." Mulberry wondered: "That's not big, right?" ”
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "There is nothing bad, you can't force the cow head to drink water, and the aunt in charge of the Changxin Palace will be you in the future." King Lin'an entered the palace and asked him to come and see me. "It's time to make Mei Yuxi pay the price, but anyone who betrays her should pay the price.
Heaven guards filial piety, and the day replaces the month. On New Year's Day, the new emperor Yu Wenguang officially changed the name of the year to Jianxing, and Yu Wenbai's nickname was determined to be dead after some noise from the courtiers. Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenchu mobilized the world's soldiers and horses, set up a second line of defense at Weishui south of Eeling, and launched a tug-of-war with the king of Zhongshan, and at the same time sent two large armies to the south and west respectively to quell the rebellion.
Yu Wenguang and Fu Zifei got married in March of that year, when Mingzhu and others had been walking on the road for more than three months, her stomach was already obvious, although her actions were not inconvenient, but they could not be compared with usual, but she was healthy, could eat and sleep, and had a ruddy complexion, so it was not worrying.
Along the way, the front is smooth, the more difficult it is to go to the back, the displaced people are in turmoil, famine and bandits are rampant, and several times they almost encountered the rebels, all of which rely on Yu Wenchu's powerful intelligence network and Jing Song's wit to avoid it. But after entering Qi County, the important territorial town of Huan Wang Yu Wenqiang, everything became difficult.
The Yuwen clan first pursued the policy of the vassal king, and the early emperor was strong, and the vassal king did not dare to disobey his orders, but there was no chaos. Later, the drawbacks were gradually revealed, the vassal king was strong, the imperial capital was poor, and an order was transmitted from the imperial capital to the locality, which had already changed its taste, and even forced civil unrest. Emperor Suzong had no choice but to change his strategy, and no longer allowed the new generation of princes to join the vassals, but to stay in Beijing to enjoy happiness. For the other vassal kings, the strategy of suppressing and co-opting them gradually decreased from more than 20 to eight.
However, the remaining eight people are very hard bones, they twisted into a rope, and openly contradicted Emperor Suzong, Emperor Suzong did not get them, so he had to give in with them and be safe. Then Emperor Wen ascended the throne, the vassal kings became more and more rampant, and King Zhongshan, as the only sibling brother of Emperor Wen, was ordered to lead the army to the north to defend it, and rejected Wusun and Xiongnu; The three feudal kings in the north of the inner town.
The king of Zhongshan has been operating in the north for many years, and has achieved remarkable results, and one of the three vassal kings in the north was destroyed by him, and the remaining two were the only ones who looked ahead. Emperor Wen also had the idea of transferring him back to Beijing, but as soon as he left, the border was chaotic, and the remaining two vassal kings were disobedient, and the people sent there couldn't be suppressed at all. Therefore, he had to let him go back again, and he came and went, which caused the special status of King Zhongshan.
As soon as he rebelled, four of the remaining seven vassal kings responded to him, two of them were the two families that were originally in the north, the other was King Qiu Li in the west, and one was the Huan King Yu Wenqiang that Mingzhu and they were about to face at the moment.
Huan Wang Yuwenqiang this person, Mingzhu has seen it, this person is young, probably in his early twenties and thirties, he is very beautiful, but he is born with strange power and violent temperament, and because of a disagreement at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, he almost fought with King Fu, or Yuwenchu came forward to mediate.
She originally thought that such an impulsive and irritable personality would not be a powerful person, but Yu Wenchu told her that everything was just an illusion. Yuwen is violent, but his scheming is very deep, otherwise why would he only make trouble with King Fu, who is the weakest and most convenient to bully among the princes? That is, if King Fu does not dare to fight with him, he will definitely be able to gain the upper hand.
So the question is, what is he making trouble on a good day? Of course, it is to show the emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces in Beijing, as well as the clans and ministers, that he is strong and unreasonable. Normally, when a normal person encounters a person who is both strong and unreasonable, because he is afraid of getting into trouble, he will avoid three points, ignore small things, regress and regress in big things, and then this strong and unreasonable person will of course take advantage.
After seeing the orderly, well-guarded, prosperous and prosperous Qixian County, Mingzhu's heart was full of admiration for Yu Wenchu, and at the same time, she also had a strong sense of crisis.
Jing Song went out to inquire about the news and came back, and said: "Because of the war, the checkpoint to the south of Qixian County is only open on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and now it is the tenth day of the new year, we have to live here for five days. ”
Mingzhu frowned: "When did this rule arise?" ”
Jing Song said: "It only arose last month. Speaking of this, his expression condensed slightly: "Does my sister suspect that the news has leaked?" ”
"Very likely." The pearl can hardly hide the melancholy. Last month, she had received news that the convoy of the Princess Regent, which was used as smoke bombs under her pretense of her name, had been ambushed, and although the guards and local authorities responded in a timely manner and did not cause any casualties, and the convoy was still on the road, she always felt that things were not so simple. The news was leaked.
Jing Song silently took out the road map, not many people knew that Mingzhu was going this way, and even the Empress Dowager didn't know. But I can't stand the inquiry of someone with a heart, it's okay in a short time, but it's always hard to hide it after a long time. The fake princess regent's convoy was ambushed but unharmed, and it was possible to continue on its way, perhaps as a temptation.
There is no way to remedy the leakage of information, and I don't know if the other party will find them. Yes, it's useless to think about what you don't have, so it's better to do something real and plan out the route behind in a down-to-earth manner.
After a while of work in the inn, there were three groups of officials who checked it, and although they successfully passed the inspection every time, everyone's mood was not relaxed, resulting in most of the dinner left. After seeing the suffering of the refugees, Mingzhu now has a problem, as soon as she sees the leftovers, she feels uncomfortable, and she personally takes a spoon to distribute the food, no one can escape, she has to eat it all.
She had already eaten a lot, but because she wanted to lead by example, she had to divide another half bowl, and after barely eating it, she was uncomfortable. Jiang Zhouzi laughed at her: "This is because I have a small belly, and I want to stuff more food and pretend to have a big belly." ”
The two of them have been together for a long time, and they are no longer as tense as before, and occasionally they can make a little joke or something. Mingzhu touched her stomach and rolled her eyes at him, because she didn't dare to go out to attract attention, she only dared to walk around the house to eat.
When the feet stopped being sore, it was dark, and the shopkeeper sent hot water lamps and candles in, and sent a letter by the way.
