Chapter 382: Troubles

Wen Yi couldn't remember how long it had been since she remembered the events of her previous life. Since she married Yoo Dongxing, her fate has completely changed, and everything she is experiencing now is completely new and has never been encountered before. It's too late for her to be busy managing a new life, where is she in the mood to recall her bleak past life?

Moreover, at this time in her previous life, she was still living a life under the fence in the second room, except for hearing Gu Si and his wife talk about things outside from time to time, as well as the news brought by Duan Kerou when she occasionally visited, she knew almost nothing about the outside world. After she was reborn, she could only deduce what had happened in those years from the news she heard during her travels after leaving home. However, at that time, she was a monk who was devoted to studying the Dharma, and even if she occasionally heard what others said, she would not get to the bottom of it. What can be found out from what I have seen and heard during this period is only a simple approximation.

Even so, Wen Yi still remembered several important events, in addition to a general Zheng who led his troops to northern Xinjiang and won a big victory, there was also one thing, that is, the brother of the crown princess of the dynasty led the troops to quell King Zheng's rebellion.

It only took more than a month to wipe out the main force of the rebels, and single-handedly tracked for thousands of miles, captured the fleeing Zheng Wang's family, and completely quelled the rebellion. What's even more rare is that he is handsome, tall, mighty, and infinitely powerful, making a good spear in one hand, as well as a stunt of 100 steps through Yang, the younger generation in the army, he is the best, and in a few years, I will definitely add a young and promising general, Yunyun.

Naturally, this kind of rumor has its own untruths, and eighty percent of them are stories made up by ordinary people through hearsay. Wen Yi now has a certain understanding of the young military attachΓ©s in the army, and knows that the most outstanding young general at the moment is Fu Zhongyin, followed by her husband Liu Dongxing. Zheng Lijun's brother has never heard of any strengths, and the knowledge of him in the army is limited to the title of "Son of Captain Zheng". The Great War in Northern Xinjiang was fought by General Shangguan and General Ruan Er, and I have not heard of any general surnamed Zheng coming forward, maybe it was the impact of the change of the crown princess. But in the current rebellion of King Zheng, if it is really the Zheng family who sent the troops, then this great credit will really fall on his family.

Wen Yi doesn't like the Zheng family, not only because Zheng Lijun is ruthless, but also because she is narrow-minded. Wen Hui has been a close friend of her for many years, just because she didn't know that she was also obsessed with the prince of Dongping, and told her heart calmly, but the result was that her marriage and reputation were both ruined, and she has not been able to turn over so far. In order to take revenge on Wen Hui, Zheng Lijun didn't care about the Gu family and a servant in the court, why did she have such confidence? Isn't it because their Zheng family produced a Zheng Guifei and gave birth to the crown prince of the dynasty?

The position of the crown prince is stable, and he has the grace of knowing Liu Dongxing, and the crown princess is friendly with him, Wen Yi does not want the prince's position to be shaken. But the prince's position is stable, which means that Zheng Guifei's position is also stable, the Zheng family is already powerful with this one, if the vassal king rebels this time, it really makes his family make another great contribution, and it will definitely be even more arrogant in the future.

As long as it doesn't affect Liu Dongxing, Wen Yi doesn't care about the high position and power, no matter what, the Zheng family is also on the side of the prince, and it is not hostile to Liu Dongxing. However, if the Zheng family is proud, it means that Zheng Lijun is powerful, she doesn't want to see this kind of scene. Although Zheng Lijun has married her sweetheart Dongping Wang Shizi, it stands to reason that she should be very happy, but who knows if she will continue to hold a grudge against Wen Hui? In case she holds resentment in her heart and relies on the power of her mother's family to suppress and frame the Gu family, even if she is a foreign daughter, she will be affected to some extent.

On the other hand, King Zheng's rebellion was inseparable from the Dongping Palace, but Zheng Lijun was the wife of the prince of Dongping. If the Zheng family is allowed to lead the army to attack King Zheng, who knows if he will follow his own interests?

Thinking of this, Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, and then tried to say to Liu Dongxing: "How could you send Taiwei Zheng here?" There is collusion between the Zheng Wangfu and the Dongping Wangfu, and the princess of the Dongping Wangshi is the eldest daughter of the Zheng family."

Liu Dongxing also felt that this was a bit strange: "That's what Lao Hu's news said, as for why the imperial court sent Taiwei Zheng to lead the troops, he didn't explain it in detail. Lao Hu felt that it might be the Zheng family who specially recommended themselves in order to avoid suspicion. Hengzhu is going to attack King Zheng, not King Dongping, so he doesn't need to face his own flesh and blood. ”

"But ......" Wen Yi glanced at him carefully, "If King Zheng is defeated, the Dongping Mansion will not be able to escape, if after Taiwei Zheng put down the rebellion, what evidence was found in the Zheng Palace's unfavorable to the Dongping Palace......"

Liu Dongxing frowned: "If he really does this, it will be really troublesome." But the Dongping Palace's affairs were involved, and the General Administration Department had already reported it, whether it was the saint or the prince, they knew it in their hearts, and they would never think that the Dongping Wangfu was really innocent because they didn't find evidence in the Zheng Palace. It's just that there is no clear evidence, and it is not good to openly convict the Dongping Mansion after all. Now that King Zheng has raised troops in advance, he obviously didn't have time to discuss with the Dongping Palace, and now the King of Dongping is not moving, if he can endure until King Zheng is defeated and does not move, then there is really no way to get into his crime. The saint still has to take care of the queen mother in the palace. ”

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally sighed: "That's it, it's useless for us to worry about it here for a long time." Kangcheng is thousands of miles away from the capital, but I am afraid that this will be Taiwei Zheng has already received the order, even if he knows that there is something wrong, there is nothing he can do. Besides, I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the grandson of the Zheng family, even if there is a slight estrangement from the Zheng family, he will not take it seriously. At present, the soldiers and horses that can move around the capital, except for the few units guarding the Beijing Division, only the men under Captain Zheng and the three major battalions on the outskirts of Beijing can be sent. The leaders of the three major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing are all a family of the Huguo Mansion, and in the just-concluded Northern Xinjiang War, the military generals under the Huguo Mansion have made great achievements and their prestige is far and wide. Only the soldiers and horses of Taiwei Zheng, who have experience in quelling the chaos, and are led by the prince's maternal uncle, are more suitable than others in terms of reasonableness. ”

Wen Yi was a little unrelenting: "Are you really willing to watch the Zheng family lead the troops to come and destroy all the evidence that may be unfavorable to the Dongping Palace?" We are in Kangcheng, although we are only dealing with King Kang's Mansion and Zheng Wang's Mansion, but Dongping Wangfu is their accomplice after all, passing by Dongping before, because you can't enter the door, his family is afraid that he already has a grudge against you. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled helplessly: "Even so, what can I do?" To be honest, even if Taiwei Zheng really did something, it would be difficult for me to get ahead. Anyway, Princess Dongping is still my aunt, compared with Taiwei Zheng, I have a closer relationship with the Dongping Palace, since even I can shoulder the heavy responsibility of dealing with King Zheng, why can't Taiwei Zheng lead the troops to quell the rebellion? If I really intervene in this matter, the officials of the court will never have anything good to say. Why should I do such a thankless task? Even if Taiwei Zheng destroyed the evidence, the saint and the crown prince were well aware of the sins of the Dongping Palace, and they would never tolerate it. ”

Wen Yi bit her lip and understood that she was thinking too simply, so she said in a low voice: "It's because I didn't think about it and almost missed the big thing of Xianggong." ”

Liu Dongxing looked at her with some confusion and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention this?" You seem to be very wary of the Zheng family, is it because the Zheng family, the princess of Dongping, has a grudge against your sister? You don't have to worry too much, this time, the crime of Dongping Wangfu has already been reported, even if the Zheng family has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, Dongping Wangfu will not be able to escape. However, because of the Queen Mother, the saint didn't plan to execute his brother seriously, probably just cut his domain and let his family move into Beijing, right? Since Zheng Lijun can save her life, what else can the Zheng family ask for? If Taiwei Zheng does not make this contribution, the result will be the same. I think that if Taiwei Zheng really recommended himself to be the general of counterinsurgency, then it is very likely that he would have given up this daughter. At the beginning, the Holy Shanghui decreed that Zheng Lijun would marry the prince of Dongping, and he must have hinted that the Zheng family had to make a choice. If the Zheng family insists on shielding the Dongping Mansion for the sake of this woman, or even colludes with them, then the final result will only be to automatically present ironclad evidence, so that the saint can make up his mind to eradicate their family. ”

Wen Yi was silent for a moment before she said, "Although Zheng Lijun is hateful, I am worried about more than that. I feel that the heart, whether it is you, Mr. Hu, as well as Brother Luo in Qingzhou, Uncle Jiang, Aunt and Uncle Su and others, they have all made great contributions to quelling this rebellion of the vassal kings. Seeing that King Zheng's defeat was about to be revealed, Taiwei Zheng led his troops south, and he directly took the credit, which was really unwilling. Can you just wait for Captain Zheng to come? Can't he do anything before he comes? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "How can you have such an idea?" Although Taiwei Zheng came with the order, on the battlefield, the situation was changing rapidly, how could he wait until he came to make a move? It's just that at the moment, King Zheng is temporarily holding his troops and only marching slowly on the eastern and southern fronts, even if we have the heart to move, we don't have enough troops."

Wen Yi held back her breath and lowered her voice: "Xianggong, you say ...... Will King Zheng leave himself a way back, just in case? ”

Liu Dongxing was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"He made a hasty decision to raise troops this time, and he was not fully prepared for either grain and grass or building momentum among the people. Does he really not think he can fail? In case of a real defeat, even if Taiwei Zheng does not kill him and escorts his family to Beijing alive, from now on, they will never imagine that there will be a peaceful life, and maybe when the crown prince ascends the throne, their family will die of a sudden illness silently......"

Liu Dongxing straightened up and looked at Wen Yi with a straight face: "You mean...... Will he leave himself a way back, in case he is defeated, he can escape with his wife, children and cronies? ”

Wen Yi nodded. She knew that King Zheng had done this in her previous life, but she just couldn't escape. This is a feat that Zheng Lijun's brother is talked about.

Liu Dongxing immediately thought about it: "The north can't, the closer you get to the capital, the more dangerous it is, and the Jinjiang River in the north is blocked at the moment, if he dares to crash into it, the risk of being discovered is too great; East...... If he can reach Guihai City, he can escape by boat, but now the Guihai officials and soldiers have banned ships from passing on the river, and even the land route has been blocked; The south side is good, if he can go all the way to the South China Sea, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, as long as he is incognito, others will have to work hard to find him, in case the situation is not good, he can also take a boat down to the South China Sea, this road is the most likely, but he lost the Rong'an garrison, he wants to arrange in the south, I am afraid it is not so easy; Then there is only the west......" He turned his head to look at Wen Yi, his eyes faintly shining: "The people of King Zheng's Mansion must have something to do in Kangcheng, not only relying on the power of King Kang's Mansion, they must have something to rely on, otherwise Shen Tu Gang took two and a half children, and it is impossible for them to escape completely without a trace when all their men are dead."

Wen Yi didn't expect this, and hurriedly said: "If the Xianggong can find the back road of King Zheng's mansion, once King Zheng is defeated and escapes in the future, he will be able to block this credit, and he must not let others take it."

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "This doesn't make sense, how can I take the credit alone?" But this matter is somewhat interesting, I want to discuss with Lao Hu to see if I can send someone to search around Cannes, if I can get something, it is also a good thing. ”

Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that in her previous life, the legend said that King Zheng fled in the southwest direction, and compared with Taiwei Zheng, Liu Dongxing and others in Kangcheng in the west were undoubtedly easier to stop King Zheng. If there is such preparation, and Taiwei Zheng still catches King Zheng and his gang, it can only be said that the will of heaven is like this, and she is helpless.

Liu Dongxing was about to go out to find Hu Jinquan, Wen Yi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him: "Yesterday, I went to the courtyard over there to see Yunni, and a daughter-in-law asked if we would leave them and others to wait at home for a long time. If they can, they can come directly to our house. ”

Liu Dongxing said: "That's naturally impossible, they are all from King Kang's mansion, who knows if there will be fine works among them?" ”

Wen Yi said: "I think so too, but it's not good to refuse her in person right now, so I dragged it with a few words." However, the daughter-in-law said that if we really don't keep them, even if they go back to the palace, they will not have a livelihood, and their names are all on the list of slaves and maids in King Kang's mansion, and it is not possible to buy land and live in peace, so it is better to go to Beijing to seek refuge in the prince. ”

Liu Dongxing frowned: "Then let them go, we will send them a few taels of silver to pay for the journey, and we will be benevolent." Zhu Jingshen is in a bad situation in the capital, and he may not be able to contain them, but it is difficult for us to stop these people from taking refuge. ”

Wen Yi was worried about another thing: "I heard from the daughter-in-law that she went back to the back street of the palace to ask others if she wanted to go to Beijing with her, and found a strange thing. ”

Liu Dongxing turned his head: "What kind of strange thing?" ”

"The former stewards and shopkeepers of King Kang's Mansion seem to often gather together, and they don't know what they are discussing." Wen Yi asked with some concern, "Xianggong, you said they wouldn't have any plans, right?" ”。.。
