Chapter 198: Who's Worse Than Whom

And Xie Zhan, who was remembered by Lu Songli and others, would have a solemn face.

Just when they entered the southern land boundary from Jiangzhou, their Xie and Zhao families had just experienced a thrilling landslide.

It is rainy in the south, and after the beginning of spring, the further south you go, the more rainy the weather becomes. Xie Zhan didn't expect that their group would encounter such a thrilling danger.

He gathered his men and retrieved the scattered people.

Fortunately, a few people died in the Zhao family, and only four or five people in the Xie family were injured, but no one died. It's kind of dangerous.

At this time, they found a sturdy stone in the vicinity and settled down temporarily.

Xie Zhan took Xie Nan and Xie Bai to help the Zhao family, and the Xie family was appeased by Xie Qian and Xie Yuan.

After dealing with the affairs of the Zhao family, Xie Zhan took Xie Bai and Xie Nan back to the gathering place on the Xie family's side before drinking a sip of hot water.

In the cave, a few fires were lit, and the Xie Zhao family sat together in twos and threes, and the cave suddenly sounded a whining cry.

Xie Zhan was holding a water cup made of bamboo tube in his hand, his eyebrows condensed,

Along the way, it has been really a lot of disasters and difficulties, and their Xie and Zhao families have suffered serious attrition. It's not like it didn't matter how many people died, but now he felt very sad for every person who died.

He looked up at his wife, curled up on the fire. His wife, in addition to occasionally having some dreams that predict the future, can she also seek good fortune and avoid evil? Xie Zhan looked at Zhao Yutan's gaze with deep meaning.

Zhao Yutan was a little evasive of his gaze.

Because early this morning, Zhao Yutan was very flustered, she found Xie Zhan and asked him if he could rest on the spot for a day today and not rush.

Xie Zhan asked her why, but she was hesitant and couldn't say why.

Thinking of some of her miraculities, Xie Zhan was still thinking about it, but Mo Gang Mo Absi directly disagreed.

They are responsible for escorting prisoners, and there is a time limit, and now they are not far from Lingnan, but the time limit is also approaching. In addition, it has been rainy in recent days, which has upset people, and I really don't want to delay on the road.

Mo Gang insisted on hurrying, he was now the leader of the entire escort team, and Xie Zhan didn't want to refute his face openly.

Spring is rainy in the south, and these days, it has been rainy, and it is very uncomfortable for everyone to hurry. Coupled with the fact that the place where they had stayed the night before was not very good, everyone was desperate to find the next station.

But Xie Zhan also kept a heart eye and let the Zhao family walk in the middle, and the Xie family was divided into two parts, walking in front and behind, surrounding the Zhao family in the middle.

He made this decision, when the landslide occurred, the Xie family one after the other escaped very well, and it was the Zhao family who suffered in the middle section.

Xie Zhan only had time to drink two sips of water before someone came looking for him again. In this landslide accident, one person died in the team, and this person was none other than Mo Gang.

Mo Gang was the one he spent the most effort and resources on to win over these errands, and he said that it was not good for someone to die, but he died.

Xie Zhan only felt a faint pain in his temples, at this time, he really wanted to know, how much the Qin family was attributing to the north?

He felt that at least Qin's mother should be gone, her health has always been bad: Qin Laosan's wife has just given birth, and she should be gone: and the newborn child, everyone knows how easy it is for babies to die, and her chances of surviving are almost zero.

The children of the Qin family, who are not even over ten years old, should also die......

In this way, the Qin family should have lost more than half.

However, he speculated that Lu Songli should have prepared some back-ups, and the attrition should be less than half, but in the harsh ice and snow environment, at least two or three people would have to die.

There is also the second branch of the Qin family in the north, they were escorted to Pingzhou for exile on the spot, except for the second child of the Qin family, the rest are old and weak women and children, which should be even more miserable. After all, no matter how powerful Lu Songli is, his hand can't reach the north for the time being.

It's a pity that now their two teams, one south and one north, are thousands of miles apart, and his control over Pingzhou is very low, and the specific situation of the Qin family can only be guessed.

When Xie Zhan came over, Xiao Hua was directing the young men of the Xie and Zhao families to dig a pit, and next to him, Mo Gang was rolled up by a mat, just waiting for the pit to be dug and buried him.

Xiao Hua saw Xie Zhan coming over, and immediately greeted him.

The two went to the side to talk.

As soon as Xiao Hua opened his mouth, he was straight to the point, "I am about to arrive at Lingnan, the place of exile, I hope that everyone will be safe and sound along the way." We will not embarrass you, but you will be at ease. How is it? ”

Xie Zhan nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Xiao Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his only thought now was to hurry up and send this batch of exiles to complete the handover, and then hurry back to Chang'an, and then walk around, transfer to be a servant, and never be a prisoner again!

Chang'an City

Zhang Xian was targeted.

Since beating Zhang Xian in the early dynasty, taking advantage of Zuo Anmin's absence, he took the position strongly and became a celebrity in front of the new emperor, Zuo Anmin came back, first tried to win him over, let him think that he was the first to look at him, and after Zhang Xian refused, Zuo Anmin began to look for him.

Of course, Zuo Anmin was in front of the new emperor, and on the surface, he was intimate with him, but in private, he wore small shoes.

But Zhang Xian's resume is clean, and the only loophole is the relationship with Lu Desheng, which was plugged by him in advance. It's slippery......

Zuo Anmin thought about it, okay, I can't catch your pigtails, it's okay. Aren't you good at purging bandits? I will ask the emperor to send you to a place where there are many bandits.

Zhang Xian simply called himself sick.

At night, he quietly came to Lu's house.

Lu Desheng has already learned about his daughter's arrival in Liucheng and what happened in Liucheng.

He looks at Zhang Xian now, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Regarding his apprehension, Lu Desheng calmly comforted him, "I expected such a thing to happen, didn't I?" You took advantage of the inconvenience and stole his home, and he came back, can you not be angry? ”

Zhang Xian nodded.

"But you have to know that if you eat hard, you will become a master, and squats are to jump higher."

Zhang Xian nodded again.

"The court is not monolithic, several forces are glued, is he Zuo Anmin do whatever he wants? Rest assured, sooner or later there will be a place for you. ”

Zhang Xian thought for a moment and nodded again.

"So, go back with peace of mind, have a good rest for two days, I'm afraid I won't have to rest if I want to rest in the future."

After hearing these words from Master Lu, Zhang Xian obediently went back.

On this day, the new emperor was eating in the imperial garden, and when he arrived at a rockery, he heard someone talking about small words, and his henchman eunuch was trying to stop Yang Sheng, but was stopped by the new emperor.

"Eh, now this palace and the previous dynasty are in chaos, if the prince is still here, why is it here?"

"That's true, the prince grew up with an orthodox imperial education, and he should be much better than the current one in terms of governing the country."

The new emperor's face is very ugly, and now this? Isn't that what he is?

The henchman eunuch next to him didn't dare to breathe. In the past few months, there have indeed been rumors that the new emperor is not in power, but hasn't he dealt with them all?

The new emperor didn't move, he wanted to listen, what else could the two bold little eunuchs inside say!

"Now we really can't do it. I think that when the first emperor was still there, the court meeting was not always there, but all the departments of the court were in order. It's like now, it's a mess in the early days. I heard that those adults, like the lady in the vegetable market, are not in a proper manner. ”

"Yes, yes, the new emperor's control over the court is indeed not as good as the first emperor. The first emperor used Lu Desheng to straighten out the court. ”

Hearing this, the new emperor was uncomfortable.

The first emperor had Lu Desheng, why couldn't he have a Zhang Xian?

As for the crown prince? He didn't care, his subordinates were defeated, no matter how much they praised the prince, the prince had already fallen into the ground. He is the one who has now ascended the throne as emperor.

Hearing this, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he immediately ordered someone to take down the two little eunuchs who chewed the root of their tongues inside, and asked people to check the people behind them.

In the end, I checked and found the head of Taiwei Xiao Qun.

The new emperor signaled Zuo Anmin to repair Xiao Qun for him, and of course Zuo Anmin arranged for his right-hand men to go up.

Xiao Qun was stunned, this pot was really dark and heavy! He just thought that Zuo Anmin was deliberately looking for something to do with him, of course he couldn't be cowardly, he would do it head-on, and he would be done.

It's a pity that Zuo Anmin's thing this time didn't satisfy the new emperor, and the new emperor scolded Zuo Anmin for splitting his head and covering his face, and then immediately went to Zhang's house with the imperial doctor to diagnose Zhang's pulse!

Then, Zuo Anmin's previous suggestion of sending him to a local official was no longer mentioned.

He began to release kindness to Zhang Xian again, and tried his best to win him over.

Zhang Xian repeatedly refused Zuo Anmin's repeated invitations, and boarded the car to return home quite unwell.

Lu Desheng was not surprised by this result.

For the new emperor, they are all people, or emperors, how can they listen to this? Just compared with him, one is his own father, and the other is the former orthodox prince, can he be convinced?

There is no one who can replace Zhang Xian under the command of Anmin on the left, and Zhang Xian is reused, isn't that normal? Now that there are so many forces in the court, there must be a sharp knife to straighten these out, and the new emperor can't be allowed to end up in person, right?

The matter was done, but two more little eunuchs were lost. To be precise, it was the loss of one, and the other was a little broken in itself, and was indeed in contact with Xiao Qun's people.

These forces in the palace were all handed over to him by Wei Zili before he went to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he rarely used them.

That guy was still talking in the previous letter that everything was good over there, but he wasn't used to eating. Lu Desheng pondered, turned around and asked the boss to buy some specialties of Chang'an City and send them to him.
