Nowadays, in the court, one after another major events almost overwhelm the people of the capital who like to watch the excitement.

First there was the wrestling of military power between the Duke of Qi and the current Shengshang, which led to the killing of the Duke of Qi outside the city of Xuzhou to deter people's hearts, after causing a burst of panic and panic in the court, the Duke of Qi suddenly went north, living in Zhucheng County and far away from the capital, declaring that he was homesick, and the emperor seemed to acquiesce, this kind of pull on the distance of thousands of miles, in a practical sense, suddenly made the emperor and the Duke of Qi maintain a delicate balance.

The emperor did not provoke the Duke of Qi, and the Duke of Qi seemed unwilling to set foot in the capital and meet with the emperor again.

Then there is the sudden turmoil in Puzhou, Shanxi, where the rioters raged in the southwest corner of Shanxi for half a month, and suddenly went north, and in three days Pingyangfu, an important town in the south of Shanxi, fell...... During this period of time, the entire Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other state capitals and horses, watching the fire from the other side, did not move, making the government and the opposition in an uproar, and then Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Yuan Chonghuan surrounded and suppressed the chaotic people, but the problem is that the soldiers are not unified with each other, the armor is not neat, and it is said that there is still some leisure between the three people, although most people are not pessimistic about the outcome of this war, but there is still a lively mentality.

In the end, it is the suspicious case of Wang Huazhen, who has been boiling in the court in the past few days, hammering and killing the little eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch outside the Wenyuan Pavilion.

What is Wang Huazhen's motivation?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that stirring up the troubled waters has made Wang Qi get out of the quagmire, but now, the development of things has long been beyond people's expectations - Zhu Youxiao deposed all the current cabinet members with lightning speed, and then promoted several more handy civil officials, two of them in the Middle East and two eunuchs - after all, Xiong Tingbi is already an iron-clad eunuch in the eyes of everyone.

Everyone knows that the entire imperial court is already about to rain.

Nanjing, Ministry of Arts.

"So," Zuo Guangdou put down Shi Kefa's letter, looked up at Yang Lian who was sitting on the side, and there was even a hint of schadenfreude in his tone: "Wang Qi has been completely kicked out of the center!" ”

"The power of the army is still in his hands!" When it comes to Wang Qi, Yang Lian's tone is always gritted his teeth: "Military power is the reason why Wang Qi can make everyone jealous." ”

Regarding Yang Lian's words, Zuo Guangdou thought so.

If Wang Qi has no say in the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, then if the imperial court wants to take on a military attache with no foundation, is it not easy to capture? Even if it's a national prince, it doesn't make any difference.

"Shi Kefa also said one more thing on the letter," he tapped his finger at the letter on the table, and then gently pushed it to the other side of the table.

Yang Lian, who was a little suspicious, first looked at Shi Kefa, then pushed the teacup aside, stretched out his hand to pick up the letter, and read it carefully: "As Mr. expected, now Wang Qi has fled far away and will not return to Beijing easily, but another force is taking the opportunity to rise and be very disadvantageous to my Donglin Daotong, that is, Wei Biao took the opportunity to make trouble. The eunuch party is powerful and has begun to interfere with the authority of the cabinet, and the saint is far away and close to him, and there is a danger of not noticing, so I need to prepare as soon as possible."

Preparing early?

Yang Lian put the letter back and turned his head to look at Zuo Guangdou: "Before leaving, did you tell Xianzhi what to order?" ”

"When the last Jiannu disappeared on the land of Liaodong, in fact, Wang Qi was no longer to worry, for any emperor, Wang Qi is a person like Wang Qi, Cao Apu of the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Wen of the late Tang Dynasty, and all the birds, is the time to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the good bow and lackeys return to the bar, now looking at the attitude of the sage, Wang Qi is no longer worried." Zuo Guangdou picked up the teacup and gently blew the tender leaves floating on it: "The current situation, as I expected, is the eunuch party, which is the biggest trouble for us and other righteous people!" ”

"Things in the world are always things after things, Wang Qi just left, and the eunuchs came again, when is it for me to wait for the Zhongying Dynasty?" Yang Lian sighed with emotion: "Zhang Jinming is old, and he loves power, which leads to the desire for profit, fortunately, there are successors of my generation, Shi Kefa, Jiang Yueguang are all good talents, that Yuan Chonghuan, as well as Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting seems to be my fellow believers." ”

"When Hong Chengchou and a few people return from Shanxi, Shi Kefa will also go to meet one or two, presumably, he is very recognized for joining the Qingliu faction, fighting the eunuch party together, and saving the Jiangshan Sheji."

"I hope that Shanxi Pingyang Mansion will calm down the chaos and everything will go well!"

Southeastern Shanxi, Zezhou City.

Hong Chengchou has been here for three days.

On the one hand, heavy snow suddenly fell in the southwest of Shanxi, which made the official roads, which had been in disrepair for many years, even more muddy and slippery, and the troops marched too slowly.

On the one hand, some of the men and horses that Hong Chengchou himself brought from Beijing City did not have much actual combat power at all, and he had to wait for Yuan Chonghuan's arrival in Zezhou City.

After all, most of the people in the Beijing camp were dispatched by Wang Qi to Liaodong to become garrisons, and most of the actual troops in the current Beijing camp were newly recruited, or they were lonely and widowed, and they had no combat effectiveness at all.

"Is there any news from Yuan Chonghuan?" Hong Chengchou personally inspected the mountain road outside the city, and at present, the mountains on both sides of the road have begun to have stones rolling down, which is not easy to march, but the road in the south is normal, so Hong Chengchou wants to wait for Yuan Chonghuan to arrive first, and then think about it in the long run.

"My lord, I just received a letter from Kaifeng Mansion, it is a handwritten letter from Lord Yuan," followed behind Hong Chengchou and handed over the letterhead.

With a creak, the door of the study was opened, Hong Chengchou stepped in directly, sat on the chair and began to read the letter, while there were maids and servants on the side to serve and change clothes, as well as bring tea and hot meal boxes.

After counting the breaths

Syllable!!

Hong Chengchou's face suddenly darkened, and he slammed the letter directly on the table, and the cold air emitted by the whole person made all the servants in the room silent.

"All go out," Hong Chengchou said coldly.

After a while, there was a creak, and the door was closed, and Hong Chengchou was the only one in the room.

"Yuan element" Hong Chengchou almost gritted his teeth.

Ten days have passed since the imperial court's order arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, and Yuan Chonghuan, who was the grain governor and the political adviser of the Yamen, has not yet stepped out of the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion.

What about the reasons given?

The Yellow River was frozen, and the ice surface was meager, and Yuan Chonghuan had to wait until the ice completely melted, or the ice was thicker, before he could lead his army to cross the river.

As for the delay of the fighter plane, Yuan Chonghuan also explained in the letter: The men and horses of the entire anti-rebellion army were not in order, Hong Chengchou had to wait for Yuan Chonghuan's Henan soldiers, and Sun Chuanting wanted to mobilize the Fudao soldiers in Taiyuan City - in order to let the already precious soldiers arrive at their destination safely, it was reasonable to march slower.

"What's the matter with the Six Dynasties, the portal is private!"

With a bang, Hong Chengchou swept all the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground.

"Someone!" Hong Chengchou shouted.

"My lord," he replied outside the door.

"Gather the troops, set off in three days, and open the floating mountain!"

Hong Chengchou didn't want to wait for Yuan Chonghuan.

He wanted to directly lead his more than 1,000 men and horses to Fushan and camp in Fushan first.

There is a mountain range that threatens Binh Duong Province.

If Yuan Chonghuan can lead the army to arrive on time, then he will have the strength to fight against the chaotic army!
