After listening to Cai Yan's eloquent words, Ma Chao also had a certain understanding of Luoyang City in his heart. At least knowing the defense of the city gate and the capital pavilion will be very beneficial for future operations. Ma Chao thought to himself that if one day he had to really meet his political opponents in Luoyang City, he would not be at risk of fighting away.

Listening to Cai Yan's introduction, Ma Chao couldn't help but be fascinated. When Cai Yan finally finished speaking, Ma Chao found out that he had followed Xiliang Tie for dozens of miles. When I raised my head, I found that the Guangyang Gate of Luoyang City was already close in front of me; The tall Shuangque outside the Guangyang Gate also showed its figure in the heavy snow. Looking at Luoyang City, which was getting closer and closer, Ma Chao's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little. Traveling to this era, this is the first time to come to Luoyang City. And Ma Chao also knew that once he stepped into Luoyang City, his fate would be even more elusive. However, Ma Chao was not afraid, thinking of the plan in his heart, his mood was even more urgent, and he couldn't wait to carry his wings and fly into that city as soon as possible.

But what Ma Chao didn't know was that when he was about to enter the city, some people in Luoyang City had already begun to prepare to welcome him.

Jian Shuo was ordered by Liu Hong to lead a team of Shaofu officials to meet the arrival of Ma Chao's army. In the goose feather snow, Jian Shuo rode a horse, and behind him were two columns of eunuchs and Shaofu Cao, walking on the streets of Luoyang City, towards Guangyang Gate. Jian Shuo's mood was very happy, he understood that as long as Ma Chao entered Beijing, his status would rise in the future. Riding on the horse, Jian Shuo's smile never stopped.

The team was marching well, and suddenly there was a coquettish cry behind him, and Jian Shuo turned his head to see that the last person in the Shaofu Cao queue fell to the ground. As soon as Jian Shuo heard the coquettish voice, he realized what was happening. He hurriedly got out of the saddle and walked quickly to the end of the Shaofu subordinate Cao's team. The one who fell down had already stood up with the support of other Cao.

Jian Shuo walked in front of that subordinate Cao, and saw that he was not injured, and saw that the others were far away, so he dared to whisper: "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

That belongs to Cao, who is the princess of Wannian in disguise. Princess Wannian patted the official uniform she was wearing, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that the snow on the road is too thick, and the soles of this princess's feet slipped and fell." ”

Jian Shuo looked at the others nervously, and saw that the others didn't notice anything unusual, so he said anxiously: "Your Highness, why did you dress up as Cao, go out of the palace without permission, and blend into the team of old slaves?" If the two Majesties knew, the old slave would have to shed his skin if he didn't die! ”

The two Majesties refer to Emperor Liu Hong and Empress Dowager Dong.

Princess Wannian waved her hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry, Jian Qing!" You don't know the level of this princess's disguise! Father and grandmother didn't know that Princess Ben was out of the palace at all, and they were still busy with their own business! Besides, Jian Qing is so trusted by his father, how can his father punish you? ”

Jian Shuo still couldn't let go of his heart, and said: "Your Highness, the old slave was just ordered to greet Guangluxun Ma Chao, which is not interesting!" Your Highness, let's go back to the palace quickly! ”

Princess Wannian raised her eyebrows and said, "Why is it not interesting!" The purpose of this princess is to see with her own eyes this Xiliang Jinma Chao, where is it sacred! Even if this person is reused by his father, he can still quickly quell the rebellion of the White Polish Army under the serious constraints of He Butcher! This princess wants to see what this Xiliang Jinma Chao looks like, is it as powerful as those people say! ”

Jian Shuo persuaded him bitterly: "Oh, Your Highness! Please come back! If you want to see Guanglu Xun Jin Ma Chao, you only need to issue a fatwa ordering him to go and meet His Highness, isn't that good? Why bother to disguise themselves as women and leave the palace without permission? ”

Princess Wannian pursed her lips and said, "Do you think that this princess doesn't want to issue an order?" But there is a grandmother, if she knew that this princess was in contact with a foreign man, she would have to scold this princess for being a bloody dog! ”

Seeing that the princess of Wannian didn't enter the oil and salt, she was willful, and Jian Shuo had no idea.

Princess Wannian shook Jian Shuo's hand and said with a smile on her face: "Oh, Jian Qing, you don't care!" As long as you don't say it, Princess Ben doesn't say it, my father and grandmother will never know about it. You can't get rid of this princess, so it's better to let this princess follow you and take a look at that Jinma Chao! ”

Jian Shuo sighed and said helplessly: "One look, just one look!" ”

Seeing that Jian Shuo finally agreed, Princess Wannian was overjoyed, and the chick pecked the rice and nodded, saying, "Of course, when this princess speaks doesn't count!" ”

Jian Shuo was afraid that he would be suspicious of other eunuchs and Shaofu Cao if he had been talking to Princess Wannian for too long, so he nodded weakly, which could be regarded as acquiescence. Jian Shuo got on his horse again and led the team to continue walking towards Guangyang Gate. Princess Wannian was overjoyed in her heart, and she also pretended to learn from those Cao, bowed her head slightly, held her cuffs with both hands, and walked briskly. Although she lowered her head, Princess Wannian couldn't help but raise her head from time to time to see if Guangyangmen was almost there.

………………………………………………

At the same time, in the General's Palace.

"You mean, Your Majesty sent Jian Shuo to Guangyangmen to greet him?" He Jin turned around and looked at Yuan Shao in front of him with a puzzled face.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said, "Exactly." ”

He Jin narrowed his eyes vigilantly and said, "Even if Duan Cheng entered Beijing to serve in the past, the imperial court never sent anyone to greet him. A mere uncrowned yellow-mouthed child is actually worthy of His Majesty's enthusiasm? ”

Yuan Shu stepped forward and said, "Ming Gong, isn't this clear?" Your Majesty is sending a signal to the entire Luoyang City, and even the entire world, indicating that Jin Ma Chao's extraordinary status and dissatisfaction with Ming Gong you! ”

Hearing this, He Jin's face immediately sank.

Wang Kuang of the General's Mansion said: "Duke Ming, do you want to use some means to shake this Jinma Chao?" ”

When He Jin heard this, he was like a treasure, and said, "What do you plan? ”

Wang Kuang said: "Please lead your troops to stop it with a general." ”

He Jin said suspiciously: "Blocking Jinma Chao from entering Beijing? How does this work? ”

Wang Kuang smiled faintly and said, "Dare to ask Ming Gong, how can you not make it?" ”

He Jin said: "Jin Ma Chao was edicted to enter Beijing, and he has the weight of Jiuqing. If there is no valid reason, Ann is so easy to offend? ”

Wang Kuang said with a smile: "Duke Ming is a general, supervising all the military in the world, even if he is as powerful as Guangluxun, he must bow down and obey orders." Ming Gongda could prevent Jinma Chao from entering Beijing on the grounds that the important land of Gyeonggi was not allowed to enter lightly and that he could only enter the defense after reporting to the General's Mansion for verification, and ordered him to lead the army to be stationed outside the city for the time being. ”

He Jin frowned and said, "But this blockade is only for a while, and it can't let the Xiliang Army stay outside the city for a long time." ”

Wang Kuang smiled: "Even so, as long as the blocking is successful, Ming Gong thinks about it, what does this mean?" ”

He Jin pondered it carefully, as if he had figured it out.
