Chapter 259: Back to Danyang, Song Ji's decision
When Song Youwei heard this, she looked up at Yun Ze, her eyes welled up with joy, she knew Yun Ze's methods, and she also believed that Yun Ze could save her father.
"Hmm...... Then I'll go with you now......" Song Youwei nodded to Yun Ze.
The two said goodbye to Song Rui and left Zuo Xiangfu. After returning to Yunfu, Yun Ze took advantage of the night and left the capital overnight with Song Youwei and Song Lin.
As soon as I left the capital, next to the official road not far ahead, a carriage stopped there, and Xing'er and several special soldiers were waiting here. There was a whining sound from the carriage.
As soon as Yun Ze and the others on horseback approached, the sound inside stopped, Song Lin and Song Youwei looked at the carriage strangely, and then turned their heads to look at Yun Ze.
"Childe, the people were brought out, and they were fine, but the three of them seemed to have martial arts, but fortunately, we used smoke to stun them. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's a bit of trouble! ”
Xing'er greeted her and said respectfully to Yun Ze.
Yun Ze nodded, he opened the curtain, and saw the fairy and her two maid rings tied inside, and his face showed a look of astonishment.
"Childe, I'm afraid they'll run away when they wake up, so ......" Xing'er on the side showed an embarrassment on her face.
"Untie it...... Yun Ze waved his hand at Xing'er, then turned his head to look at Xian'er and said, "I know what you want to do, and I know what happened to you, if you believe me...... Just follow me...... If you insist on going back to the capital, I will let you go!" ”
Hearing this, Xian'er nodded slightly, Yun Ze took out the cloth in her mouth through the car window, and Xing'er got into the car to untie the rope on her body.
Xian'er didn't speak, just sat in the car with a silent expression, and didn't look at Yun Ze. I don't know what is going on in her mind.
Yun Ze didn't say anything more, and walked towards the front with Song Lin and Song Youwei, who were full of doubts, and Song Lin and Song Youwei arranged Yun Ze in another carriage prepared by Xing'er.
In this way, the carriage rushed towards Danyang. After he walked out for seven days, the capital finally received the secret music from the border pass.
Along with the secret performance, there was also an eight-hundred-mile urgent battle report, the Yuguan Pass was lost, and Dajin broke through the Yuguan. Approaching Sizhou after Yuguan!
At this time, in the court, Song Ji was sitting on the dragon chair, his face was extremely ugly. There was also a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think we should do at this time!" He looked at the ministers below, although his expression seemed calm, but the anxiety in his heart made his heart full of anger.
"Back to Your Majesty, Dajin is menacing this time, if we confront it head-on, I'm afraid that there is no chance of winning, not to mention, the loss of Yuguan, I'm afraid that the door of my Jing Dynasty will be opened."
"Moreover, the Khitan border is also under threat, and the Khitan border is stationed, I am afraid that it may attack my Dajing at any time, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Li Zheng took a step forward and said with a solemn expression. At this time, he had already changed the decadence of some time ago, and the whole person looked refreshed.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded what the right minister said, now, we should make a decision, since Dajin wants the heads of the left prime minister and Yun Ze, we might as well promise him to send the left minister and Yun Ze to the Jin country, and promise to fight the Khitan with the Jin country."
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it should be like this, sacrificing a Zuo Xiang and Yun Ze can ensure the stability of my Jing Dynasty, and even be able to expand the territory, Your Majesty, this is a blessing for the country!"
"The minister also thinks that he should agree to Dajin's request, otherwise, with Dajin's strength, it is really possible to break through the number of passes of my Jing Dynasty and approach the Jingshi."
At this time, those officials who belonged to the Right Prime Minister's faction all stood up, and many of these people belonged to King Kang's lineage. In the entire court, almost six to seventy percent of the officials unanimously supported Li Zheng.
They are either from Li Zheng's faction, or they belong to King Kang's lineage. The rest are from the Ming Wang and Song Rui factions.
Hearing that these people were in the court, openly agreeing to the request of the Jin State to give the prime minister of a country to the enemy, those officials with conscience and integrity trembled with anger.
They have never seen such a shameless person, facing a national disaster, not thinking about how to deal with it, but uniting to frame Zhongliang. This is obviously preparing to give up Zuo Xiang and Yun Ze.
Moreover, Yun Ze is obviously a celebrity in Song Ji's eyes, but these people still dare to say in front of Song Ji that they want to deal with Yun Ze, which means forcing the palace.
Hearing this, Song Ji looked at the ministers below, his eyes full of anger. Let him give up Song Rui and Yun Ze, he is absolutely reluctant in his heart. These people took the opportunity to want Yun Ze and Song Rui's lives, which made him angry.
However, when he heard the analysis of the ministers, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. In particular, the Yuguan was broken after only being held for less than seven days. Jin Guo is obviously forcing him to comply.
Either he sacrificed Song Rui and Yun Ze, or Dajin really launched a surprise attack on the Jing Dynasty and directly destroyed the Jing Dynasty. Now, Yuguan is so vulnerable, I'm afraid that Dajin may really have the idea of destroying Jing.
"Shameless, you brutes...... When the national disaster is at hand, you don't want to destroy the thieves, but you want to kill your compatriots, are you still human! The officials of the court and Song Rui's faction stood up and angrily scolded the ministers opposite.
"Why don't you be sent to the Jin Kingdom, use your heads in exchange for the withdrawal of the Jin Kingdom, think about it, the Jin Kingdom will definitely agree!"
Several officials from Song Rui's faction hurriedly chimed in.
At this time, Jing Anhou stood up, pointed at Li Zheng and the others opposite, opened his mouth and scolded angrily:
"You traitorous ministers, if we really agree to his request of the Jin Kingdom, then my backbone will be broken. I'm afraid that at that time, not only will the Jin State not be allowed to withdraw its troops, but even the Jin State may take the opportunity to think that my Jing Dynasty can be bullied...... At that time, it will be an even greater disaster! ”
Song Rui on the side never said a word, and the whole person stood there quietly.
On the dragon chair, Song Ji looked at the people arguing below, and had a headache. He looked at Song Rui, who was unmoving, and there was an inexplicable anger in his eyes.
"Zuo Xiang, as a party to this matter, let's talk about it too...... What should I do about this? ”
When Song Rui heard this, he looked up at Song Ji, and arched his hand lightly: "Weichen obeys His Majesty's will, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" The king wants the minister to live, and the minister has to live! ”
Hearing this, Song Ji snorted coldly, and looked at the people below, he looked at Li Zheng. Now, the only person he can trust is Li Zheng. Originally, if Gao Chang was here, he could still listen to Gao Chang's meaning.
He now regrets killing Gao Chang, as for Song Rui, he is the party, even if Song Rui shows enough loyalty, he still doesn't want to listen to Song Ji's opinion. Not to mention, Song Rui obviously didn't want to give any advice.
He was a little annoyed with Song Rui's attitude of testing him, and even more annoyed with Song Rui's calmness. Of course, he actually felt a little guilty about Song Rui in his heart.
Although the things of the year were done secretly, he vaguely felt that Song Rui was afraid that he knew the secret, and the guilt in his heart made him kill Song Rui again.
When Song Rui suddenly took leave, he felt that Song Rui might know the truth back then, but he saw that Song Rui didn't have any violent reaction, and slowly felt that Song Rui might not know about it.
But now Song Rui's performance makes him feel that the other party is afraid that he knows what happened back then, but he has been forbearing. The murderous intent in his heart became even stronger.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that he still obeys the will of Jin Guo and sends Zuo Xiang and Yun Ze over. At that time, we will sign the alliance under the city. And promised to destroy the Khitan with the Jin State, the Jin State is at war with the Khitan at this time, as long as we meet their requirements, they will definitely not embarrass the Jing Dynasty again. ”
Li Zheng hurriedly said loudly, how could he not see Song Ji's eyes. Song Ji was afraid that he was already biased towards them, but it was impossible for him to say it himself. As a courtier, of course, he must share the worries of his master, and he will be the wicked.
Of course, if he can solve Song Rui and Yun Ze and avenge himself, why wouldn't he do it.
"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal...... For a while, all seventy percent of the officials echoed in unison.
When Song Rui heard this, he looked up at Song Ji on the dragon chair again, and when he saw the intention in the other party's eyes, he sighed and closed his eyes.
"You ......" Jing Anhou and the others heard this, and angrily pointed at the ministers opposite.
"Okay, shut up, and that's it...... Come on, take the left minister down, and send it to the border in a few days! Song Ji suddenly snorted coldly and suppressed all the voices.
Two Praetorian Guards walked into the hall, and they walked in front of Song Rui with a somewhat complicated look.
Song Rui didn't speak, but turned around and left the main hall with the Praetorian Guard. Jing Anhou and the others still wanted to speak, but Song Ji snorted coldly and stopped, Song Ji stood up and continued:
"Yang Wu, send a team of people to bring Yun Ze back and send them to the border pass...... I'm tired today, so let's retreat! ”
Without saying more, Song Ji turned around and left the main hall, Fan Hui, who was following behind him, showed an anxious expression on his face, and he wanted to open his mouth several times to intercede for Yun Ze.
can feel the cold breath on Song Ji's body, he knows that even if he pleads, he is afraid that Song Ji will not change his mind, after following Song Ji for so many years, how can he not know Song Ji's temperament.
He could only send Song Ji back to Taiqing Palace, but he just wanted to leave, but he let Song Ji stay. Song Ji just looked at him lightly.
"I'm going to paint today, so you're waiting!"
Fan Hui heard this, sighed, and stood aside. He knew that Song Ji was afraid that he would notify Yun Ze by himself, so he didn't give him a chance, and when the Praetorian Guards left the city, it was impossible for him to arrange someone to inform Yun Ze.
At the same time, not only Fan was retained, but even a number of officials from Song Rui's faction were also retained. Song Ji didn't want to give Yun Ze any chance this time.
Since he has made a decision, it is definitely impossible for people to destroy it, although he loves Yun Ze, but compared with his own country, he knows how to choose. Just like when he sacrificed Song Rui's son in order to let the Khitan withdraw from the army.
Yun Ze soon knew about the changes that happened in the capital, and Yun Ze had already spread out the intelligence network along the way. When she was about to arrive in Danyang City, Xing'er passed the news of the Praetorian Guard's pursuit to Yun Ze.
Yun Ze sighed, and looked at Song Lin and Song Youwei in the carriage a little helplessly. It seems that he and Song Rui are afraid that they are going to fall out completely this time.
Fortunately, he had already guessed this day and was fully prepared. I'm about to return to the fiefdom. As long as he returns to his own territory, Song Ji can't help him.
Because of Song Lin's relationship, Yun Ze didn't want to confront Song Ji head-on, but he would definitely not let Song Ji pinch him.
Yun Ze did not return to Danyang City, he had already taken root outside the city. The properties that remained in the city were also taken care of. Although there is a connection of interests between the prefect of Danyang and him, who knows what choice the other party will make in the end.
When the carriage came to the fiefdom, the scene in front of him made Yun Ze a little stunned, and in a few months, the fiefdom had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The entire fiefdom was completely built according to the city, although it was not as large as Danyang City, but it was nearly half the size, and high walls were built around it. It's all masonry and concrete.
Since the last time Weihu Mountain and Heavenly Wolf Mountain carried out a sneak attack on the fiefdom, Yun Ze had asked Tang Jian to start the construction of the city wall. In addition, the fiefdom has been recruiting people from outside. Not only the refugees, but even the people around who could not survive, also took refuge.
The population of the current fiefdom has reached 150,000. That's not counting the 50,000 people who were selected to join Yongtou Mountain. Those people are reliable.
There are almost 200,000 people under Yun Ze, of which about 10,000 are trained in Longtou Mountain. There were 20,000 people in the fiefdom.
It's just that the training of these people is very secretive, and they usually appear in front of outsiders in the form of escorts, even if they are the people in the fiefdom, they don't know that there are 20,000 regular troops in the fief.
Standing at the gate in front of the fiefdom, Song Lin and Song Youwei were stunned, Song Lin was shocked when she saw the masonry city wall, she had never seen such a majestic and strong city wall. Even the walls of the capital are not as good as this side.
Song Youwei was shocked by the changes in the fiefdom, she had come secretly before, and it was not on the scale of the current one. She could never have imagined that in a few months, the fiefdom would undergo such earth-shaking changes.
Xian'er and her two maids also looked at Xincheng in front of them in shock, and their eyes were full of astonishment. When they left Danyang, they had also come here to see it, and there was no such scale at that time.
In front of the city gate, Luo Yunniang and others were waiting here, and when they saw Yun Ze coming, Luo Yunniang's faces were full of joy. hurriedly greeted him. Along with them, there were also a number of high-level people in the fiefdom.
Xian'er saw a figure in the crowd, and when she saw that figure, she covered her mouth in dismay, her eyes were full of disbelief, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
She turned her head to look at Yun Ze, her eyes full of gratitude. Along the way, she still had some resentment towards Yun Ze in her heart. But he also accepted his fate. She was even thinking that after returning to Danyang, she would find a chance to leave, and then go to King Kang's place, even if she fought for her life, she would save her mother.
But who would have thought that Yun Ze would be one step ahead of her and save her mother.
"Xianggong...... You're back......" Luo Yunniang walked in front of Yun Ze with red eyes, her belly was already very big at this time, it should be nine to ten months, but she was afraid that she was about to give birth.
"Brother-in-law, if you don't come back, my sister will go to the capital to find you...... My sister said that she wanted you to be by her side when the baby was born! Luo Yunxi leaned over and said with a smile.
At this time, she was much more lively than when she first saw Yun Ze.
"You girl!" Luo Yunniang smiled and nodded her sister's forehead, her face full of shyness.
Luo Yunxi stuck out his tongue, his face full of joy. The rest Luo Qingcen, Su Qianmo, and Ye Ziyan looked at Yun Ze with a smile, and tears also appeared in their eyes.
Yun Ze looked at the women, then at Tang Jian and the others, and nodded. He didn't see Luo Zhengyang and Luo Zhengyan, two brothers who were probably already engaged in research.
'Let's go...... Let's go back to town! ’
In a few days, the Praetorian Guards are afraid that they will rush here, Yun Ze will have to prepare early, or there may be a battle between them and the Praetorian Guards. It's joy to be together, but there's still a crisis to deal with.
