Chapter 435: Who Gave Him the Courage?
It seems that overnight, Gangnam Province suddenly changed.
However, such changes are in the shadows after all.
Those dignitaries may be able to perceive it keenly, but for the people in the land south of the Yangtze River, they are still living their own lives and don't know anything.
The whole Jiangnan is still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year's Festival.
Most of what the people say is the regent of the current Ning country, but most of what they say is his poems.
As for the government...... They scoffed at the constitution that looked beautiful, because it was unrealistic to hear it.
Young Regent!
That's certainly a good idea.
But it's not possible to do it at all.
They were very concerned about his next treatment of the court officials, but the thunder was loud in Kyoto, and the rainstorm was indeed loud in Kyoto, but in the end it did not fall anywhere outside Kyoto.
He was afraid that it would be a rat trap, and he didn't take this Jiangnan Dao after all.
This inevitably disappointed the people of Jiangnan.
For these officials in Jiangnan Province, they dare to be angry but dare not speak.
They hoped that the regent would be able to wash away the Jiangnan officialdom, but now it seems that this is almost impossible.
The regent killed Ji Tai, and he stood at the top of the temple of Ningguo, holding the highest authority, and for him, the purpose had been achieved.
As for the corrupt officials below, he is afraid that he will turn a blind eye.
As long as they are obedient.
If only they would have him king.
That's enough.
As for the common people, what was the past, what is the present, and what is the future...... Still like that.
Since ancient times, officials have guarded each other, and these people have not reported any hope.
It was still dark, and I thought that the regent would become a lamp in Ningguo, but this lamp seemed to have been extinguished.
That's what the people think.
But Shang is different.
Someone from the Shang family was an official in Jiangnan.
The Shang clan and many high-ranking officials in Jiangnan officialdom were extremely familiar.
Even in Kyoto, the Shang family has eyes and ears.
Shang Chunqiu has had a very busy year.
Shang's ships were supposed to berth at the port for repairs during this year's festival, but more than a dozen of them left the dock.
This is not a trivial matter.
Especially after Shang Chunqiu knew that Wen Zhuanyu had become the first assistant of Ning Guo's cabinet, he knew that the situation was not good.
Therefore, those ships carried away not only some important clansmen of the Shang clan, but also a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
Of course, Shang Chunqiu did take out a full five million taels of silver and handed it over to Yu Wanzhi-
After all, it's all on the same boat.
If Yu Wanzhi really did this...... This is obviously a great good thing for Shang.
If Yu Wanzhi loses...... Shang had to leave a way back for himself in advance.
Fortunately, this back road was paved more than ten years ago.
Shang Chunqiu did not leave.
He's old.
He wanted to see how the play turned out.
Sitting in the warm study, Shang Chunqiu took a sip of tea comfortably, and raised his eyes to look at his big butler Yu Qinglun, "Old Yu,"
Yu Qinglun bowed and said casually: "The old slave is here!" ”
"You old thing, you come to the old man's mansion and have it in a blink of an eye...... It's been seven or eight years, right? ”
"Look at you, still so cautious."
"That's the biggest difference between you and Warm Boiled Rain...... When he was the chief butler in the old man's mansion, he didn't care about these etiquettes at all. ”
Shang Chunqiu put down the teacup and said, "He will sit directly opposite the old man, and the old man has to pour him a cup of tea!" ”
Yu Qinglun smiled, bowed again, and said carelessly: "This humble ...... He doesn't follow it, but the old slave knows the rules. ”
Shang Chunqiu laughed, raised his hand and pointed at Yu Qinglun, "So if he can be the head of a country, you can only be a big butler in the old man's mansion." ”
"The old slave knows enough, the old slave can't take care of a country, the old slave just wants to be able to take care of this business house, so that you can rest assured, this is even if the old slave has done his duty."
Shang Chunqiu glanced at Yu Qinglun, and after a while, he suddenly asked:
"You say, gathering the power of Jiangnan may become that big thing?"
Yu Qinglun was shocked, "This ...... Li Chen'an, that kid is a cunning person! ”
"He only brought a hundred or so guards to dare to use Jiangnan, and the old slave was worried that there was fraud in it!"
"Well, that's what he did for others to see. The little ghost of the Imperial City Division, but he had already traveled to various places in Jiangnan long before he left Kyoto. ”
"It's just that the old man is still puzzled, even if all the people from the seven parts of the Imperial City Division come to Jiangnan...... These people are good at doing some inquiring about the news, or secretly assassinating, but if they have a fight with tens of thousands of government soldiers gathered in one place from all over the south of the Yangtze River......"
"Even if the three thousand Imperial Wind Guards of the Imperial City Division come, this is not an opponent!"
"But Li Chen'an's kid didn't mobilize any soldiers and horses......"
"Besides, the people in the rivers and lakes will also gather in Jiangnan, even if he, Li Chen'an, has the protection of a master and can escape from the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of government soldiers...... He can't escape the pursuit of those heroes. ”
Shang Chunqiu got up and walked a few steps in the study with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly between his eyebrows and showing doubts in his eyes.
"Who gave him the courage?"
"If it weren't for Wen Zhuanyu becoming the first assistant of the cabinet, the old man would not have sent the Shang family's children and grandchildren out of Jiangnan."
"Wen Zhuanyu, I'm afraid you don't know much about this person, since Li Chenan dares to come, Wen Zhuanyu must have the ability to protect him!"
"It's just that the old man can't figure out how he can protect it, so the old man wants to stay and see it with his own eyes."
He stood in front of the window, looking at the snow outside, "The government soldiers secretly dispatched by the Metropolitan Governor Song Shiming are far away from Jiangbei, and they should have set off. ”
"It's hard to hide from the eyes of those imps in the Imperial City Division...... If the transfer of troops falls into Li Chenan's ears......"
Shang Chunqiu turned around and looked at Yu Qinglun, "You say, will he turn around and go back to Beijing?" ”
Yu Qinglun pondered for a moment and replied, "That's the best way." ”
"He ran back to Kyoto, and then transferred troops to come, Jiangnan will be in chaos!"
Shang Chunqiu shook his head: "He won't go back to Beijing!" ”
Yu Qinglun was stunned, "Why?" ”
"Jiangnan is in turmoil, and Ningguo will be in danger!"
"If he wants Jiangnan chaos, he doesn't need to go through this at all, what he should do is ...... Transfer the Shenwu Army of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion to Jiangnan! ”
But he didn't...... How on earth would he deal with this mortal situation? ”
……
……
Shang Chunqiu couldn't figure it out.
Many high-ranking officials and people in Jiangnan also couldn't figure it out.
Since you can't figure it out, let's do this earth-shattering event!
When the troops of various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River were mobilized, Ning Chuchu, the fourth princess who had arrived in the Jingning Mountains in the north of the Yangtze River, got the news that Li Chenan had left Kyoto for Shuzhou.
She is with her army of five hundred women, and she is in the snow-capped Jingning Mountain at the moment!
The team did not move forward, Ning Chuchu looked at Kaiyang in surprise and asked:
"Guangling City where he left in the third year of junior high school?"
"Back to Your Highness, exactly!"
"What time is it?"
"The seventh day of the first month."
"Ah...... It's been four days...... You say he's dangerous? ”
"His subordinates also heard that since he killed those officials of Ji Tai's family, almost all the officials in this Jiangnan land are Ji Tai's cronies who were once installed. If he wants to pass through the south of the Yangtze River...... I'm afraid he's killing himself! ”
Ning Chuchu's heart suddenly tightened, why is this person so anxious?
Isn't it safe for you to wait for the spring to take the waterway into Shu?
She pursed her mouth: "Let's go, let's go back and help him!" ”
Tianshu pursed his lips suddenly, and whispered: "Your Highness, we, our horses are almost finished eating, do you solve the problem of eating first...... The subordinates are worried that the big guy will starve to death on the way back. ”
Ning Chuchu sighed in his heart.
After all, it is Her Royal Highness the princess who grew up pampered.
She had no experience marching with so many men.
Five hundred men and five hundred horses, this man eats the horses and chews them, but it is a huge expense.
The money that was once stolen from Naho Prefecture in Kyoto has already been spent, so what can I do?
Yes!
Grab it!
She waved her hand, "Let's go and do a vote first!" ”
Kaiyang was taken aback, "Who is this unfamiliar person with?" ”
As soon as Kaiyang's voice fell, Tianquan descended from the sky, "Your Highness, a team of soldiers is coming to us!" ”
"Soldiers?"
"It should be the government soldiers of Jingning City...... They seemed to be on a long journey, and they were carrying a lot of food and grass. ”
Ning Chuchu's eyes lit up, "How many people are there?" ”
"The number of drivers who went to transport grain was about a thousand."
Ning Chuchu suddenly laughed.
"Look, this is called the road of the sky!"
“…… Your Highness, those are serious soldiers, not bandits! ”
"So what?"
"Now, this princess is a bandit!"
"Set off, kill people, steal food...... Do a big deal! ”
