Chu Qing did not follow Lin Jianyue to Yangzhou, but accepted Lin Jianyue's assignment to cross the river to appease the high-ranking officials and officials from all walks of life in Jiangnan who gathered in Zhenjiang.

Lin Jianyue's future ideas, Chu Qing mostly knows, he is from Jiangnan, and it is most suitable for him to come forward.

Knowing that Lin Jianyue was about to cross the river, Jiang Nan naturally came over to greet him if he had a little status or idea, at least trying to show his face and leave some impression on His Royal Highness King Yan.

Cao Shaozhen even wanted to cross the river directly to find Lin Jianyue, but was stopped by Wang Gui.

"Lao Cao, our Jiangnan is not as great as the Central Plains people's expulsion of the Tartars, but there is no need to be arrogant, Jiangnan's human resources and financial endowment play a vital role in His Highness's domination of the world, as a representative of the Jiangnan military, you can easily cross the river, which will make the people in the Central Plains despise Jiangnan, we serve His Highness, not them."

Cao Shaozhen, who was born in a martial arts family, did not agree with Wang Gui's statement in his heart, he wanted to meet Lin Jianyue as soon as possible to express his loyalty and future plans, but he knew that Wang Gui was politically spicy, so he did not object.

"The elite troops of the forbidden army, Liangzhejiang Road, and Jiangnan Road have all arrived at the riverside, will there be people with ulterior motives mixed in? Will there be any riots, riots, assassinations? Lao Cao, this is what you have to focus on now, His Royal Highness informed him in advance, and sent Chu Qing over, not to show off, but to give us time to sort out the interior again, and then don't do anything, then it will be a real shame, and it will really make the people of the Central Plains look down on it. ”

Cao Shaozhen was shocked in his heart, there are definitely a lot of old and young people in the Ning Dynasty, there are several people he knows who are still active, and his mind is on Lin Jianyue and his itinerary during this time, if such a thing really happens, what face do he have to see His Highness?

Cao Shaozhen, who fought and managed the army, consciously was not inferior to anyone, but when it came to the means of internal counter-investigation of the enemy, he knew that he was definitely inferior to His Royal Highness's Zhenfu Division or Dieyi Division, and Cao Shaozhen, the chief officer of the Zhenfu Division of Yanwangfu in Jiangnan, knew that he decided to use their strength to find out the handful of people who had different intentions, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.

Zeng Huaiting is the general of Xuanzhou's defense history and Dehua on the surface, but he also has an unknown identity, that is, the deputy commander of the Xiya of the Imperial City Division.

Cao Shaozhen led the soldiers on the side of the Qing monarch, many people in the Imperial City Division surrendered, and the general office in Jianning was also completely wiped out, losing the overall planning and command, the name of the Imperial City Division has been lost, but the strength is still retained, Zeng Huaiting is the strongest and most stubborn royalist faction.

Xuanzhou on Jiangnan East Road is an important barrier in the southwest of Jianning, Zeng Huaiting has been in charge of the army in Xuanzhou for more than ten years, and has tens of thousands of elites under him.

Cao Shaozhen made up his mind to fully control the army without scruples in the past one or two years, and the army in Xuanzhou also belongs to the forbidden army sequence, and the entire forbidden army is hundreds of thousands, how can Cao Shaozhen find out and grasp them one by one? What's more, Zeng Huaiting has always been Cao Shaozhen's confidant general, and he is the most obedient on weekdays.

The emperor was placed under house arrest by Wang Gui and Cao Shaozhen, Zeng Huaiting, as a general of the leading troops in a state, and Cao Shaozhen's henchman, naturally already knew that Zeng Huaiting, who had more than 10,000 people under the general trend, couldn't do anything and didn't dare to do anything, but he always had the idea of restoration.

This time he came to Zhenjiang to welcome Lin Jianyue across the river, Zeng Huaiting also led 3,000 men and horses to follow Cao Shaozhen over, and was one of the most likely to approach Lin Jianyue's army, Zeng Huaiting thought that since the saint has not really abdicated, as long as Lin Jianyue is killed, the saint still has the opportunity to continue to sit firmly in the Dragon Court, as for whether the world will be in chaos, the Hu people will invade the south, and the people will suffer, etc., these are not matters he cares about.

But in front of everyone's eyes, assassination was carried out in this way among the ten thousand armies, and there was absolutely no place for him to die with such a small number of people, and to repay the emperor's favor was to repay the emperor's kindness, but there was no need to drag the whole family to accompany the funeral, or the allies needed to block the knife and advance and retreat together.

Zhao Yi, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, is Zeng Huaiting's hardcore ally.

Zhao Yi was born in a poor family, and he has been studying poetry and books for more than ten years, because he has no relationship, no resources, and no good teacher, he has not been admitted to the Jinshi.

Zhao Yi boasted of his outstanding literary talents, but he was not convinced, and in order to get ahead, he spent a lot of money to learn how to write court poems, and even betrayed Shang Xiaolian, a Qinglou woman who appreciated himself very much and supported him with all the money he sold. He also really has the ability, he can actually write obscene words like immortals, and then lower his body and tie up with the big eunuch in the palace, with Ning Zexun's greedy and lustful temperament, and the eunuch to build a bridge, he naturally admires Zhao Yi very much, and thinks that he is a fellow believer, much better than Wang Gui.

Zhao Yi easily won the Jinshi, and was personally appointed by the emperor to become a Tanhualang, and since then, he has been prosperous all the way, and in less than ten years, he has been promoted from a county order to the deputy envoy of the third division, and then it is the political affairs hall.

Zhao Yi developed, the Zhao family also made a fortune, it was the group of people who benefited the most from the Ning Dynasty, they had been oppressed for a long time before, and after they were developed, they naturally intensified, and they were domineering in their words and deeds, so they offended many people, but they had been fine with the emperor's support before, and now the emperor is about to fall, Zhao Yi feels precarious, and now supporting the emperor is to protect himself.

The Ning Dynasty has existed for so many years, there are many people like Zhao Yi, and there are not many people like Zeng Huaiting who really support the emperor and have strength, the court is almost over, and the person who can independently lead the army is the eldest brother, and the potential power of the Imperial City Division, Zeng Huaiting, who was born as a military general, naturally became the main leader of the restoration.

Zhao Yi has been a Zhizhou, and he has been in the center for so many years, he is still very powerful, for example, his distant brother is a partial general under Lu Jinshan, and he can also control a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, and because of this, he can become Zeng Huaiting's ally.

People like Zhao Yi Cao Shaozhen are too lazy to deal with it, but the Dieyi Division is different, the emperor is about to step down, and a large number of ministers who used to flatter and fortunate are the objects of their attention, and Zhao Yi is on the list.

As soon as they received Cao Shaozhen's request for help, they immediately took action, but there are not many people who really have the courage and strength, more of them are Mingzhe to protect themselves, and when they found Zhao Yi, they finally got a big surprise.

Shang Xiaolian is talented and good-looking, Zhao Yi finally has a bit of humanity after he is developed, and he ransomed Shang Xiaolian from the Qinglou and became a concubine, but he has long lost his passion for her, and when he reaches Zhao Yi's status, he is afraid that there will be no beautiful women to give him a hug? has been in the cold for many years, and she can't go, and Shang Xiaolian has long been desperate for Zhao Yi, especially Zhao Yi once gave her to the emperor for lewd pleasure in order to pat her on the back, which made her even more disheartened.

If you pay attention to Zhao Yi, you will focus on monitoring Zhao Yi, but in three days, the Dieyi Division found that Zhao Yi had signs of collusion with outsiders, and the Zhenfu Division immediately sent a good hand to touch the melon, and soon found Zeng Huaiting.

Looking at the countless people and horses surrounding him and the trembling Zhao Yi, Zeng Huaiting knew that he couldn't live, but he still wanted to do the dying struggle, and wanted to lead his most trusted 3,000 people to resist, create trouble for the forbidden army, and give other people similar to himself more opportunities, but unfortunately, when his subordinates knew that Zeng Huaiting actually wanted to lead troops to assassinate King Yan, more than half of them took the initiative to lay down their weapons.

The suppression of Zeng Huaiting did not lead to the chaos of the forbidden army that Cao Shaozhen feared, but there were still many people like Zeng Huaiting, which made Cao Shaozhen feel afraid, so he did not ventilate Wang Gui anymore, but directly asked the Huaiyang Army or the Wuwei Army to send troops across the river through the Dieyi Division, and the personal guards completely isolated the ill-intentioned people.

It's just that Lin Jianyue didn't agree, only one sentence, he believed in Cao Shaozhen, which made Cao Shaozhen ashamed.
