Chapter 808: Returning to Beijing

Gu Tingcheng took the letter and re-read it.

She broke and chewed almost every sentence and word, and studied it thoroughly.

Then, she came to a conclusion -

The time has come!

Jiankang had an accident, and Chen Jing, the new emperor, had an accident.

Chen Duan, as a fierce general second only to Chen Jing, is also the dignified Liang King, so he naturally wants to kill him back as soon as possible.

Gu Tingcheng put down the letter, took out a few more pieces of information received in the last few days, read them carefully, and re-analyzed them.

These pieces of information were all sent back by the caravans that Gu Qingcheng had planted in various parts of the Yangtze River.

On the surface, it is the price of some rice grains, silkworms and other industries, or the local rain, drought and other conditions.

However, through these trivial matters, Gu Tingcheng was still able to gain insight into the movements of the court.

When he first saw this information, Gu Tingcheng had a faint guess.

In ancient times, the fluctuation of food prices was crucial and could reflect certain problems.

For example, the turmoil in the court, and then the transfer of the army.

The latter, in particular, is directly related to food prices.

"It's not just Chen Duan, but the other leading generals are also secretly mobilizing people!"

Gu Tingcheng sorted out his speculations.

She pulled out the letter paper and wrote a letter.

Leave the ink dry, fold it and stuff it into an envelope.

"Someone, send this letter to His Royal Highness King Liang quickly!"

Gu Qingcheng sealed the envelope with wax oil, pressed his seal, and handed it to the visitor.

"Yes!"

The man agreed, took the envelope with both hands, carefully tucked it into the placket of his clothes, and then quickly withdrew.

Seeing the man go out, Gu Tingcheng wrote down the other information he had just summarized, and then took it and went to find Ah Weng and Ah Father.

"Jiankang is going to be messy again!"

Gu Heng, Gu Yi, Gu Ji, father and son knelt in the study.

They passed each other the letters, strips and other items that Gu Qingcheng had brought.

Gu Heng sighed first and said, "It's only been a few years, and the new dynasty of the Chen clan is about to start up again!"

Gu Yi was calmer, or rather, he didn't have a good impression of the new dynasty.

Come to think of it, he is the concubine of the Xiao clan in the previous dynasty.

The Chen family was a rebellious minister and thief who overthrew the Xiao dynasty.

Chen Jing was "rebelled", which is more like a cycle of cause and effect and unpleasant retribution.

Gu Yi has no sympathy at all, let alone emotion.

He would only weigh whether the whole thing was beneficial to the Gu family.

"Chen Duan wants to go back to Beijing? He wants to take that seat?"

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, did not hide it, and asked directly.

Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly, "Even if he doesn't want to, I will push him to the top."

Achieving reunification from the south to the north is already difficult.

If you don't even have the title of "righteousness", it is even more difficult.

If Chen Duan became the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, he would be able to integrate all his forces and fight against the Northern Dynasty.

Gu Tingcheng can also take advantage of the situation to complete his plan.

Hearing Gu Tingcheng's ambitious words, the three Gu father and son all laughed.

"A-Qing is right! It's better for Chen Duan to be this emperor!"

Gu Ji is not as calm as Gu Yi, but he is also a person who is good at planning.

He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly.

Chen Duan ascended to the throne, and his own Aqing, as his fiancée, could naturally return to the capital and enter the palace.

With fame, many of Gu Qing's behaviors will become justified.

And not rebellious thieves who intend to rebel.

Of course, these days, rebellion or something is as simple as eating and drinking.

However, becoming the main mother of the Southern Dynasty is not only convenient in terms of name, but also has many benefits.

The Gu family can go out from Lingnan in a bright way, and

It's not a hard fight back.

After ten years of development, although Lingnan is no longer a wild place of exile, Lingnan is still too far away from Jiangnan.

Not to mention anything else, just the layers of mountains in the middle added a lot of difficulties to the Gu family.

"Aqing, do you want to go back to Beijing?"

Gu Heng thought for a long time, and finally looked at his little granddaughter.

His eyes were full of poise and wisdom.

"It's been ten years, and it's time to go back!"

Gu Tingcheng didn't have much attachment to that homeland.

But, according to her plan, Jiankang is bound to win.

Only by occupying Jiankang can she go all the way north.

Take Qizhou, and then enter Jizhou!

If you can't even get Jiankang, but send troops directly from Lingnan-

Hehe, Rao is that she has trained wolf soldiers, and she also has enough food and money, and only these thousands of miles are enough to drag down the entire team.

There is no way, the Celestial Empire is too big, and it is too difficult to achieve great unification from the south to the north.

Throughout history, only Emperor Hongwu did it.

And he can do it for a variety of reasons.

Even the Northern Expedition in modern times ended in failure.

You know, during the Northern Expedition, there were thermal weapons!

And in this era, there are no hot weapons, cold weapons prevail, and the iron cavalry in the north can play the greatest role.

Chen Duan is a natural general, and he also has fierce soldiers under his command who can fight well.

However, even Chen Duan himself did not have the confidence to be able to win the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty on the other side of the river!

You must first return to Jiankang, take Jiankang as a base, and rush all the way to the north.

Gu Tingcheng had a clear and complete map of the Celestial Empire in his mind, and Gu Tingcheng also had a clear idea of the direction of his "development".

"I can't go back on my own, though!"

Gu Qingcheng had already made a plan, she smiled in her chest, and her tone was even more inexplicably proud.

「……」

Gu Heng's father and son exchanged glances with each other, and finally Gu Heng spoke: "It seems that A-Qing is ready!"

This is Ah Qing, who will have a plan and a plan for everything he does.

Gu Ji sighed secretly in his heart-

"Alas, they are all girls of the Gu family, and the tanuki slave can't compare with Ah Qing at all!"

For his daughter who stayed in the Northern Dynasty, although Gu Ji had given up a long time ago, he didn't really care at all.

Sometimes, when he hears his wife talking, he thinks of her too.

It's been almost a year since they separated, and I don't know what happened to the tanuki.

Did the Yuwen clan ever get angry with her because of Gu's escape?

Can a tanuki slave be disliked for not having a mother's family?

In ancient times, without her mother's family, a woman would have more hardships in her husband's family.

Even if she's very good, she'll be-

What's more, tanuki are not smart.

As a father, Gu Ji doesn't want to belittle his own daughter.

But it's true.

Although I don't know what the tanuki slave has experienced, it seems that it has suddenly become powerful.

But Gu Ji is still worried in his heart, in case the "supernatural powers" of the tanuki slave are suddenly gone.

Without her mother's family and without "supernatural powers", how should she deal with herself?

Fortunately, the Gu family still has people, and some news will come back in the past few months.

The life of the tanuki doesn't seem to be bad either.

It's not bad!

It's still beautiful!

Gu Youyi has memories of her previous life, although she was abandoned by her mother's family, which made her really lost for a while.

But soon, she cheered up and continued to give advice to Yu Wenheng-

"Jiankang will soon change dramatically—"
