Chapter 385: The Matter of Miansi City
After the rebellion of Xiao Yuanhuai, the king of Changsha, and Xiao Jingshan, the king of Shangguang, was completely put down, the news was transmitted back to the capital and immediately announced to the world.
Moreover, the edict also stated that Xiao Huai'an, the king of Yuzhang, and Xiao Tong, the crown prince, conspired with them.
The participation of Xiao Huai'an and Xiao Tong has set off an uproar both in the temple and in the rivers and lakes, especially the crown prince Xiao Tong, there are too many families and rivers and lakes involved after the East Palace, if it is not handled well, it is very likely that there will be a big purge later.
Therefore, after the accident, all the officials involved in the accident and their families were silent, and everyone now understood the reason for the disappearance of those officials of the previous prince's lineage.
And it was also under the situation that the courtiers kept talking, and on the morning of the second day, His Majesty the Emperor, who had not been seen for a long time, actually participated in person.
The emperor was not only not as weak as he imagined, but was in good spirits.
Many of the officials in the palace were afraid and did not dare to look at them.
At the beginning of the early dynasty, except for Prime Minister Xun Jiwu and Imperial Historian Chen Hengdao, the rest of the officials were almost all shocked beyond exception.
It was difficult for them to associate the previous image of being so weak that he was about to die with His Majesty at this moment, but the ministers quickly reacted, and before and after the incident was His Majesty's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, and His Majesty was playing a big game of chess, the purpose was to solve all the hidden dangers in one fell swoop.
And for this situation, there are a few happy and a few worried.
People who don't have crooked thoughts think that this is a great thing, and the impure purpose is naturally worried about whether it will affect them afterwards.
Today's early dynasty is actually a happy event, but the fly in the ointment is that several officials from the Langyu Wang clan are risking their lives to intercede for the prince.
And their final outcome was not unexpected, and they were directly beheaded by the emperor's order.
After that, no one dared to mention it again.
The atmosphere in the court today is not as happy as imagined, but has an indescribable solemnity.
This is a precursor to the coming storm, and bloodshed is inevitable.
After the war on the southern front was settled, the follow-up work of Yuzhang County and other three places became the focus of discussion, and there was also a Changguang County that had not been stable.
When these matters were discussed, the old emperor personally ordered a group of young officials to be transferred to these places, and among them there was Yu Xin, who only had the title of Ru Linlang.
It would not be surprising if it was only one or two people, but this time the old emperor transferred more than 30 people almost at once, and all of them were young officials, whose family backgrounds were not obvious.
The signal behind this is self-evident, and the families no longer have the courage to oppose it.
His Majesty the Emperor is training new people, leaving a group of usable and useful people for the successor to the throne.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taken, and the East Palace fell into a situation of no owner.
The position of the crown prince is undecided, and the hundred officials are not at ease, but they do not dare to touch the mold at this time.
People who know don't say much, and those who don't know don't dare to guess anymore, this time the incident really made a group of officials have a psychological shadow.
After the problem between the king of Changsha and the king of Shangguang was solved, only Xiao Buxian, the king of Huiji, was left struggling to support.
At that time, even with Ge Rong's 20,000 horses, it was still difficult for them to form a big threat, so less than ten days later, the two armies of the imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty surrounded them from the north and south, and broke through the defense line of the Huiji defenders, Xiao Buxian and Ge Rong finally died in the chaotic battle.
At this point, the rebellion jointly by the king of Changsha and the king of Shangguang was completely suppressed, and after the end of the war, a group of criminals were escorted back to Beijing to await trial.
It was only at this moment that the civil and military officials understood how far-reaching the emperor's plan was.
Although the emperor is old, he will only become more proficient in those methods at the beginning, and he has never been rusty.
On the day when the two armies returned to the capital, the old emperor who had ended the early dynasty, accompanied by several courtiers, personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him.
Also on the same day, Xiao Yan finally saw her daughter who had been worried.
The father and daughter reunited after a long absence, hugged each other and cried.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yan ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and personally set up a banquet in the palace to receive the wind and wash the dust for the heroes.
In this battle, the general Zhao Kang and the general Liu Xuan of Ningshuo both made great contributions, while Xu Mu, the king of Xiangdong, and Xiao Lan, the king of Shu, achieved the victory.
The chaos in Nanliang has all subsided, and the depth of the old emperor's plan is staggering.
In the end, except for the crown prince Xiao Tong, the rest of the main figures of the rebellion were raided and destroyed.
And what is Xiao Tong's final ending, maybe he will be imprisoned for a lifetime, or he may be exiled for thousands of miles.
Such a chaotic situation in the Southern Liang was also what the Great Wei was willing to see, and at this point, the Southern Liang no longer had the ability to go on the Northern Expedition.
The Great Wei side can also really free up its hands to rectify the internal contradictions of the national dynasty.
————
Shen Kuang's followers left at the beginning of the turmoil in Jinling City, so he didn't know much about the follow-up development.
But then on the way, he heard the last horrific ending.
Shen Kuang and Xiao Tong seem to have only one side of the relationship, since Chaoping County, Shen Kuang has not had a good impression of him, and now that he thinks about it, he doesn't even feel it.
After going out of the city with Jiang Ning and passing through a city, Shen Jing separated from them, and everyone after that was not on the way.
There was still a lot of reluctance at the time of parting, but fortunately, there was no burden on Shen Guo when he returned to Dawei, and he could go back to Meiwu City after walking through Donghai City, so the two agreed to meet again in Hongni Lane.
After separating from Jiang Ning, Shen Guo has been in a hurry, and now he is in Lucheng, Langyu County, Nanliang, which is not far from Donghai City of the Great Wei.
But Shen Jing's subsequent journey has been slow, because he is no longer alone.
In order to avoid the relentless pursuit of Jinyilang, Yan Daoji covered for Song Wan and let her leave first, but then they lost contact.
Later, they scattered and fled, and Song Wan was rescued by Shen Guan by mistake.
At that time, Song Wan was seriously injured, and now he has recovered some time after this period of time, but he still can't use his true qi easily.
Lucheng is in the southwest of Langyu County, not too far from Weiting City, where Xiao Tong stayed, and it is not far to gather in Langyu City.
The reason why the two stayed in Lucheng was also unavoidable, because before that, the crown prince Xiao Tong secretly led the troops back to Beijing.
During that period, Jin Yilang moved frequently here, and because of Song Wan's identity, the two did not show up easily.
Not long ago, after Xiao Tong was ambushed, the Langyu Wang clan also spent a great price in order to protect him, of course, the supervision of Jin Yilang was still indispensable among them, and the two of them were trapped here for several days.
During this period, the life of the two was extremely monotonous, Song Wan recuperated from his injuries, and Shen Guo went out to inquire about the news.
The two basically didn't communicate, because Song Wan was deliberately avoiding Shen Jing, which also made Shen Jing very strange.
Strange and strange, Shen Jing didn't deliberately talk, so the two spent a few ordinary days.
At noon that day, Shen Guo returned to the inn from outside and brought back some food to Song Wan by the way, and after pushing the door to see Song Wan, he also told her about the current situation.
"We can leave today. Jin Yilang's current attention is attracted to the capital, and there is no time to take care of this place, we will travel all the way to the northwest under the starry night, and we will soon enter the Great Wei realm."
After Shen Guan finished speaking, Song Wan still looked absent-minded, and Shen Guan didn't care, it was enough to talk to her about these things, after all, she didn't have much combat power now.
It was night, and the two left Lucheng under the cover of night.
Looking back at the tall city wall behind him, Song Wan suddenly remembered the short time before.
Although there is no communication with Shen Jing every day, Song Wan rarely experiences such a dull time.
Shen Jing noticed the change in Song Wan and turned to look at her, but Song Wan quickly recovered as before, as if nothing had happened.
Shen felt strange, but he didn't think much about it.
After the two hurried, Song Wan secretly glanced back, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth.
After that, the two of them rushed for more than ten days, and finally arrived at Qingle City, a border area of Dawei, in the afternoon of the first day of March.
Not long after the two entered the city, they were imprisoned
Tiansi's people came and took Song Wan away.
Before parting, Song Wan still thanked Shen Jing.
Although it was just a simple sentence, Shen knew that it was not easy to say it from her mouth.
Shen Guan smiled and didn't care.
In fact, after a long time, Shen Guo felt that he and Song Wan were similar to enemies and friends, and at this moment they were like half friends, just half of them.
Qingle City is almost sandwiched between Donghai City and Miansi City, Shen Guan didn't think much about it, so he planned to go to Miansi City to see Lin Wanzhao first, the two have been separated for a long time from last year to this year.
The moment he left Nanliang and entered the territory of Great Wei, Shen suddenly felt a sense of relaxation that he had never felt before.
It's a sad place, but it's home at the end of the day.
Thinking that he was going to leave for Miansi City tomorrow, Shen Guan couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
No matter how far away the girl who should be missed, she will still be missed, not to mention that the girl's home has a lot of weight in his heart.
It was late at night, and Shen Qing did not sleep peacefully.
He pushed open the window and let the cool evening breeze blow through in early spring, and he walked a long way, meeting many people and encountering a lot.
If you think about it carefully, if you don't mix with other things, in fact, you will be quite stable along the way, but it is really difficult to be truly stable in your heart.
After walking through Donghai City this time, he was going back, back to the home he thought of.
Shen Guo thought that it had been about a year at that time, and things were wrong.
Early in the morning of the second day, facing the morning sun, Shen Qing embarked on the road to Miansi City.
Guanfeng County, Miansi City, because of its location on the main road, has become a distribution place for goods transshipment from north to south over time.
Miansi City is close to Qizhou, so this place is secretly controlled by the Gao family.
The reason why it is said secretly is because the interests of Miansi City are too great, and a Gao family can't control it, and the largest share in addition to the Gao family is the Luoyang Ruan family.
The Ruan family, as one of the top merchants in the Great Wei Dynasty, has a wide range of industries in the counties of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they naturally did not let go of the great interests of Miansi City.
In Miansi City, you can buy things from almost all parts of the Great Wei Dynasty, and among all the goods, only grain and iron tools are the best-selling here.
And the Lin family's batch of goods happened to be all grain and ironware, the reason why Lin Wanzhao was notified to come was because the goods were detained by the Yamen of Miansi City, and he had a casual reason, and the steward who was originally in charge of this matter had to ask for help from his family when he saw that he couldn't solve it.
Lin Wanzhao started to leave at the beginning of the year, and it has been more than two months now, and it took more than half a month on the road.
Since arriving in Miansi City, Lin Wanzhao appealed to the government, but the Miansi City Yamen didn't care at all, and then helplessly Lin Wanzhao chose to spend money up and down, but for some reason, as long as the people who asked for help knew that it was about this matter, they refused to help.
Time passed, but the tension of the matter became more and more clueless, so the group was consumed here.
And as time went on, rumors about the Gao clan of Qizhou and the Cui clan of Qinghe became more and more.
