Heavy snowfall, everywhere is white, the winter of Shenjing in the forty-first year of God is really a heavy snow year, from the end of October after the morning snow, only one day clear, it has been raining for more than half a month, the cold wind is howling, the air is into ice, the two small yellow doors on duty outside the side hall of Kunning Palace are dressed like cotton monkeys at this time, and they are holding their hands there and keep stomping their feet to avoid the cold, but they see a person walking towards this side in the snow and mist.

The man approached, but it was Dai Quan, although he was no longer the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal, and he did not have any position in the inner court, but the two little yellow doors saw him coming, and they still quickly knelt down: "The slave knocks to see the ancestor."

Dai Quan: "Get up, is the Holy Body of the Emperor safe?"

The two little yellow doors on duty climbed up: "Eucharist. It's resting."

Dai Quan: "I don't need you here, let's go to the duty room to warm up."

The two little yellow men on duty: "Yes." replied and retreated.

Looking at the disappearance of the two small yellow doors, Dai Quan pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

Dai Quan's injuries had healed, closed the door of the palace and latched it, and then he walked quickly to the door of the study, and when he walked to the door, he saw Emperor Tianyou sitting on a chair next to the imperial case and closing his eyes to recuperate.

took off his cloak and hung it on the hanger outside the study, walked in softly, and saw the beads of sweat on Emperor Tianyou's face at a glance, so he hurriedly walked to the small stove on the side, took down the copper kettle and poured hot water into the copper basin, twisted a hot towel, and then walked to Emperor Tianyou and knelt down, gently dried the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said softly: "There is news from Jizhou Town, and the Marquis of Zhongjing, Shi Ding, went to review the army with the military order." As he spoke, he shook off the hot towel and wiped his face for Emperor Tianyou, and after wiping it, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, could it be that the news has been revealed."

"Li Wenzhong is about to enter the customs." Emperor Tianyou didn't reply to his words, still closed his eyes, and suddenly mentioned Li Wenzhong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Dai Quan was stunned for a moment, somewhat understood what he meant, and replied softly, "Yes."

Emperor Tianyou still closed his eyes: "The soldiers and horses of Bauhinia Pass are also ready?"

Dai Quan replied softly, "Yes."

Emperor Tianyou still closed his eyes: "What about Shandong?"

Dai Quan had already thought about it, and then replied in a low voice: "The military department has ordered Xiangyang Bo to investigate and clean up the fields of the military households, and when the time comes, the Gunzhou Mansion will definitely be in chaos, and the military department will definitely dispatch the Imperial Forest Army to suppress it, so that the pressure on this side will be much less."

"Hmm."

Emperor Tianyou still closed his eyes: "What about the Holy Father?"

Dai Quan: "He wanted to divert everyone's attention to the military of Xungui, but the Marquis of Chungmu ignored him."

Emperor You: "That's all there is to it!"

Dai Quan: "There's another strange thing."

"What's the matter?" Only then did Emperor Tianyou open his eyes.

"Last night, Yan Shenggong summoned the people of the Kong clan in Beijing, which is quite a bit of a sense of trust."

Emperor You: "Oh?"

Dai Quan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That fire was not set by the emperor and the honorable military."

Emperor Tianyou looked at him.

Dai Quan: "At this time, there can be no accidents, do you want to check again?!"

"Do you know why I want to move the soldiers and horses of Jizhou Town and Shanhaiguan?" Emperor Tianyou asked.

Dai Quan somewhat understood: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave understands, and the old slave will send someone to inform Xingyang Bo and order them to change the route of the march, and they have always been under the control of the military department."

"No need." Emperor Tianyou said lightly.

Dai Quan was stunned: "Why, why .....?"

"You want to resist?!" Emperor Tianyou's face was very ugly.

Dai Quan understood: "The old slave doesn't dare."

"For the sake of the overall situation, no matter how many people do!" Emperor Tianyou said this a little coldly.

Dai Quan: "Minions, minions understand."

"It's good to understand." Emperor Tianyou closed his eyes.

Looking at the somewhat stunned Emperor Tianyou, Dai Quan sighed silently, glanced at the bell and rang the bell, it was almost time, so he quickly fried the medicine, poured it into the bowl, and held it in front of Emperor Tianyou: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

。」

Emperor Tianyou sat up straight, was silent for a moment, took the medicine bowl and drank it in one sip, seeing that Dai Quan brought warm water again, his body moved slowly, and suddenly said, "The medicine is bitter."

Dai Quan was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Li Yuanzheng said that this medicine will be taken for forty-nine days, and after that, it will be free from all diseases."

Emperor Tianyou smiled a little, rinsed his mouth, and took the towel presented to wipe his mouth: "How is it outside the city?"

Dai Quan: "The first 3,000 people have already blended in with the refugees, and another 7,000 are already on the way. There is no news of the 10,000 people in Shanhaiguan."

Emperor Tianyou was silent for a moment: "You don't care about the people in Shanhaiguan, and tell Li Wenzhong that the army must arrive at Juyong Pass before the winter solstice."

"Juyongguan?"

Dai Quan was stunned again, so he had to reply, "Yes. The old slave then sent someone to inform them, ordering them to travel day and night, and arrive at Juyong Pass before November 22."

Emperor Tianyou was silent for a moment: "Tell Yan Shenggong that if you don't want to die, you will find a way to let the civil and military officials go to the Temple of Heaven and Earth to pray for blessings on the winter solstice."

"Your Majesty....." Dai Quan was stunned, a little unbelieving his ears.

Emperor Tianyou closed his eyes again: "Go immediately."

"Yes....." Dai Quan smiled bitterly, both the emperor and the military were sure that the emperor would make a move in the new Chinese New Year's Eve, but who would have thought that it would be on the winter solstice, hoping that the military could hold on to this bottom.

............

Heavy snow is falling.

Outside the Anding Gate, the Royal Forest Army camp and the snow in the Dajiao Field are full of refugees.

Piles of firewood burned brightly.

A cauldron was also boiling porridge on the fire, Lin Zhixiao was wearing a thick fur at this time, holding a soup woman, sitting in front of the stove of a big pot to roast the fire.

Lin Zhixiao instructed the steward beside him, "Call the clerk of Shuntianfu."

"Yes." The steward walked to the Shuntianfu Clerk's Office, "Our Steward Lin invites you over."

The clerk put down Tang Pozi and walked to Lin Zhixiao's side: "Steward Lin."

Lin Zhixiao: "On this snowy day, why don't you let them go back to the tent and wait?"

The clerk: "Hey, there's no way, Steward Lin, look at them, they eat one by one, where do they still look like disaster victims?" This porridge is almost ready to catch up, they eat two meals a day, and they have nothing to do, and they start to have something to do, and it has only been three days, and there have been dozens of fights. There is no way but to let them wait in the snow before eating, and let them understand their situation."

Speaking of this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Concubine Niangniang, the small family doesn't dare to eat like this every day, no, I just finished eating here recently and went home."

Lin Zhixiao nodded: "The timber and stone used to build the garden for Niangniang are blocked in Tianjin, and I need two thousand young men to transport these timber and stone into the city."

After a pause, "Tell them that they don't work in vain, from tomorrow onwards, they will eat big white steamed buns, white rice, and meat, and after finishing their errands, they will be paid two taels of silver per person."

"Yo, that's a great grace."

The clerk sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that this skin didn't fit, I would have to help with this."

Lin Zhixiao knew that he was asking for a tip, so he didn't get angry, and looked at the steward behind him.

The steward took out a silver ingot of five taels from his sleeve, "Remember, you are taking the reward of the noble concubine."

"Long live the concubine!"

The clerk hurriedly threw his hand in the direction of the imperial city, and reached out to take the ingot of silver with a smile on his face: "The villain will pass on the news, and I will select a person with a strong physique for you." Then he turned and left.

"When! Dangdang!"

Several officials of the Shuntian Mansion held a gong and struck it, and shouted loudly, "It's time to eat! It's time to eat! All lined up..... Listen, good thing! Great thing! Now we need 2,000 young men to work, not only do they have two taels of silver to eat, but they also have a big white steamed bun, white rice, and meat to eat, and when they want to go to serve porridge, they can tell the people by the stove."

Lin Zhixiao took the steward to personally give porridge to the refugees, saying that it was porridge, but it was actually similar to rice, a big spoonful of rice, pouring half a spoonful of fragrant gravy, Lin Zhixiao shook his head, this is a refugee?

At this time, the steward on the side said loudly, "Steward Lin, look."

Lin Zhixiao looked at it subconsciously, his eyes lit up, and he saw a few young men coming in line, although they were wearing thick cotton jackets, they were tall, and they were strong at a glance, and they examined the whole body of the man in front of them from head to toe, Lin Zhixiao's eyes were brighter, and he said directly: "Young man, how about I find you a place to eat?"

The man was a little unhappy with him: "No."

"Uh....."

Lin Zhixiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not dirty work, it's not a caretaker, it's a decent job, a tael of monthly money."

"No, no." The man looked at Lin Zhixiao and slowly spit out these two words.

Lin Zhixiao was stunned, and the steward on the side couldn't help it, and shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! Do you know whose food you eat?"

The man glanced at him, "What, you want to stop the blessing of the concubine?"

Lin Zhixiao was stunned again, and the steward was choked.

The man: "If you two don't have serious business, I'll be out of company."

"Stand ....."

"That's it!"

Lin Zhixiao interrupted the steward, and said with a smile: "The subordinates don't understand the rules, don't be angry, little brother, please!" At this point, he glanced at the other young men and asked, "What about you?"

A few young men walked towards the man with bowls.

Lin Zhixiao smiled slightly: "In this case, don't stand here and block the way, it's not good to stop the blessing of the concubine Niangniang."

The man's face was gloomy, and at this time, the Shuntianfu Clerk's Office led a team of officers and soldiers over and asked loudly, "What are you doing? Do? You've had enough of the good days, haven't you?"

The man immediately whispered, "Let's go." He walked to the tent with a few young men carrying empty bowls.

Looking at the backs of those men who were far away, the clerk scolded: "A group of lazy people who eat idle meals are blind with all their strength, phew!"

Steward: "Who is this refugee? It's just like those gangsters under Ni Second-hand, hey..... No, I don't think it's like a common man?!"

Lin Zhixiao's face flashed with surprise, and his eyes were also full of questions!

............

Winter is short in Japan, with heavy snow and early dark.

Jia Zhong led a few servants to hang lanterns under the eaves outside Wuwei Hall, and the lanterns that should be lit in the courtyard were also lit, and it was bright.

At this time, a large pot of coals burning in the hall was burning.

As a sign of respect, the main seat in the center is vacant.

Jia Jue and Chen Ruiwen sat next to each other on the chairs on the left.

After reading the last word, Jia Jue frowned and shook the letter in his hand, "Impossible..... Am I mistaken?"

Chen Ruiwen said angrily: "Who do you think he is?!"

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, he was a little confused in his heart, since the old emperor decisively pushed Li Xian out to take the blame, he was suspicious of the possible cattiness, until there was a disaster in Shunyi and other places that should not have happened, he suddenly realized that someone deliberately let a catastrophe happen in the north, so that a large number of refugees could gather in Shenjing, thinking of these, many things can be explained clearly.

After discussing with Chen Ruiwen, he sent Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding to Jizhou Town and Shanhaiguan to verify the number of registered soldiers in the two places on the grounds of reviewing the army, but unfortunately, Shi Ding did not find any abnormalities in Jizhou Town, the number was not bad, and even those soldiers did not find problems, they were all veterans with formal training.

Intuition told Jia Jue that there must be a problem in Jizhou Town, what is the problem here?

Chen Ruiwen took a sip of the tea bowl on the coffee table next to him, put it down, and then said, "Maybe you think too much."

Jia Jue: "Will the generals of the border towns raise soldiers and horses privately?"

That's a very sensitive one

Chen Ruiwen didn't answer, just looked at him.

Jia Jue: "If this assumption is true, then these extra people must have come to Shenjing among the refugees, and they must have already mixed into Shenjing."

Chen Ruiwen's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked at him seriously, waiting to hear him continue.

Jia Jue: "In terms of scheming and strategy, everyone is inferior to the emperor. He was a forty-one-year king, and he had regained some of his rights with only two decrees, forcing him to acquiesce in the matter by pinching his nose today. Although he lost Jinyiwei and Dongchang because of Liu Xianglian's defection, he shouldn't be so silent, this is not his character, he has long been used to monopolizing the world, and it is impossible to swallow this breath, unless he is waiting for a chance to turn over, a chance to trample everyone under his feet."

After a pause, "Since he can push Li Xian out to take the blame, he must be ready to be exposed. Do you say that he will still wait for Li Wenzhong's army to enter Beijing?"

Chen Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer him.

Jia Jue was also silent for a moment, and then said, "It is estimated that there is no hope on the side of the Marquis of Zhongjing, perhaps, we have to start from the capital."

"It's not easy." Chen Ruiwen sighed, "There are too many refugees, it is difficult to check, even if there is suspicion, you can't catch it, one careless may provoke a civil uprising, the risk is too great."

Jia Jue nodded and asked, "What's going on over there with Li Wenzhong?"

"The wind and snow outside the pass are too big, and the scouts can't get out, but it doesn't matter, people have been arranged at all passes of the Great Wall, and Pegasus will report as soon as there is news."

Jia Jue frowned.

Seeing this, Chen Ruiwen asked, "What? What's wrong?"

Jia Jue: "The Shi family received a letter from Bao Linghou yesterday."

After a moment of silence, Chen Ruiwen stood up and said loudly, "Good means..... Good means. I really underestimated him, you say, what should I do now?"

Jia Jue replied softly, "He is the king, and we are the ministers."

Chen Ruiwen understood, sat down slowly, and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do over there?"

"Cold salad." Jia Jue smiled.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally!" Jia Jue stood up and paced to the window to look at the snowflakes falling outside the window, "No matter what, Yan Shenggong can't die at the hands of the military, otherwise there will be endless disasters. As for him trying to splash dirty water on us, hehe..... As long as we don't accept the call, unless he runs to the door of several of our houses and crashes into the stone lion and dies. I guess he doesn't have the courage yet, it hurts."

Chen Ruiwen sighed again: "It is impossible for the emperor to convict the Kong family, and that trial record will probably be suppressed."

"yes. The weight of these four words is too heavy, so heavy that the imperial power has to be conceded."

"Then let Yan Shenggong make a choice between his own life and the reputation of the Kong clan!"

Hearing this, Jia Jue turned around, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

...........

Yan Shenggong sat in front of the bookcase, looking upwards with his eyes, and suddenly, he picked up the letterhead on the bookcase and tore it in half!

Kong Qian, who was standing on the side, was stunned, and looked at him silently with his breath.

Yan Shenggong seemed to be crazy, and tore the letterhead vigorously.....

Tearing the letterhead into pieces and throwing it into the air, Yan Shenggong suddenly laughed like crazy, laughing and laughing, and even laughed into tears: "What a ruthless emperor..... I hate it.....
