Chapter 293: Wind and Rain (3)(2/3)
"The day before yesterday." Zhao Xingmi could only answer in this way.
"Is it too fast?" Yuan Li was hesitant for a moment. "I think everything in the palace is as usual, and didn't you also say that it will be launched on the 15th of the month? If it is launched on the 15th, but you are fully prepared early, it will be wasted in vain.
It’s easy to get into trouble.”
"Fifteen is the deadline." Zhang Qianda explained. "In fact, it can be done earlier and there will be no delay."
"Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year... when is the earliest?" Yuan Lizheng was a little nervous.
"Looking at the moment, we can start the campaign as long as the Chief Manager Lai and Governor Niu are transferred out, regardless of the specific time." Zhao Xingmi answered frankly.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Zhang Qianda suddenly spoke, recounting what he had experienced today. "That's what happened... Why do I feel that our saint is so depressed that he doesn't want to care about anything?"
"If this is the case, it will be troublesome." After a dull breath, Smadek felt a little confused. "He died there without moving, and the manager and Governor Niu also died in the city and palace.
Here, aren’t we going to die too?”
"Then we can only escape alone?" Niu Fangsheng interrupted and asked.
Zhao Xingmi was also a little anxious.
"It's not impossible, but I don't think it's necessarily the case." At this time, Sima Jinda spoke slowly, thoughtfully. "If this guy is so depressed, why did he send cavalry to chase and kill the escapees before? Only a grandmaster can do that.
Departure, it’s not like he doesn’t have the means to suppress it…”
"What do you mean by General Seven?" Zhao Xingmi frowned slightly.
"He is not that kind of person." Sima Jinda responded coldly. "He is not the kind of person who indulges in betrayal. My eldest brother has been his guard leader for many years. We brothers all know that he is the kind of person who has betrayed himself.
People in the world, but they don’t allow people in the world to betray him in the slightest... One thing about today’s incident is that he is really sad about the situation. How can he not be sad when it comes to this? The second thing is that it just means that he has turned away from him after talking about it for a long time.
Bai Hengqiu violated his biggest taboo! But he doesn't know whether he cares about Tu Wan Chang Lun, the veteran and grandmaster, or whether Bai Hengqiu, who used to be humble and petty in front of him, now dares to covet his world!
"
"Then let's..."
"Tomorrow I will publicly complain about the rebellion. Anyway, this matter is not without evidence. Let's see how he handles it!" Sima Jinda gave the order directly.
After he finished speaking, he looked around and reminded again: "Everyone, just take a look at his attitude towards talking about thousands of things. Then you will know what will happen to us if we are timid!"
Everyone couldn't help but be awe-struck.
The matter was settled and the core group dispersed.
Among them, when Yuan Li was returning to his residence, he was tossing and turning and could not sleep peacefully. The next morning, he did not wait much, and even went to the palace early to go on duty, donning armor and holding a sword. As soon as he arrived at the palace, he walked along the palace wall.
Early in the morning, he turned to Cangcheng on one side and saw a person in a darkroom here, and then he saluted respectfully.
"Master Governor, Smadek is General Huben and is in charge of the Jinwu Guard. I did not dare to risk entering the palace last night to avoid suspicion." After Yuan Li stood up, he spoke carefully to the person in front of him.
The man was wearing an official uniform and a small crown. Behind him were carts and thick objects such as hemp rope. He was actually twisting a bunch of hemp and twisting the hemp rope in his hands. Hearing the words, he raised his head and exposed his chin.
With a slightly white beard, he is clearly the number one expert in the palace, a veteran grandmaster, and Governor Niu of Beiya.
Duke Niu nodded, his expression unchanged, and continued to twist the hemp rope: "So, they really want to rebel?"
"It depends on what you say." Yuan Lizheng sighed. "For now, I still want to find a lot of people, then break up and escape back to Dongdu... But if you say this is rebellion, you can't say it is wrong.
.”
Duke Niu nodded and continued to ask: "Are there many people?"
"Regardless of whether they are civil or military, almost 70% to 80% of those who enter the palace want to leave, and the people below want to leave even more. There is no way to ask." Yuan Lizheng continued to speak.
"March 15th?"
"Yes." Yuan Li was cheering up a little. "I asked them if they had a false shot, and then some people planned to leave early or do something... They meant that if they wanted to escape, leaving early would attract attention.
, and ended up being chased and executed by the Huai River before, and they had to disperse in a hurry."
"Scattered in a hurry." Niu Dugong repeated, still twisting the hemp rope. "Is there any more?"
"Yes." Yuan Li said seriously. "Actually, these people can't guarantee that things will work out, because Tu Wan Chang Lun's incident was beyond their expectations. Many people want to follow Tu Wan Chang Lun and go to Bai Heng.
Autumn……"
"Speaking of ten thousand long theories." Niu Dugong muttered to himself, muttering several names slowly, and finally stopped with his hands. "Speaking of ten thousand long theories...Wang Huaitong...Zhang Bofeng...Sun Siyuan...Bai Hengqiu...
…Zhang Xing…Sima Zheng…Xiong Bonan…Li Ding…Cao Lin…Zhang Shizhao…Wang Zhuo…things are really different and the world is turned upside down.”
"That's right." Yuan Li was slightly moved in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he just agreed on the spot. "There have been so many masters in recent years, it's so scary... But does the Governor already know the context of this matter? General Tuwan
Will it really be the opposite?"
"It has been difficult to predict people's hearts since ancient times. Who knows?" Mr. Niu shook his head and twisted the hemp rope again. "Go and do your work! I will be here morning and night. Come over anytime you want."
Yuan Lizheng hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to ignore it now? Let's take a long-term view to catch the big fish?"
"Why bother?" Governor Niu didn't even raise his head. "Arrest 70% to 80% of the civil and military officials in the city? Go ahead."
Yuan Li nodded and hurriedly retreated.
On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, suddenly an officer of the Forbidden Army came from Liyang. He claimed that he had told a long story and openly ordered his troops to pack up and prepare to march west to Huainan, passing through Nanyang and returning to Guanzhong. However, they did not see the relevant official documents, so they risked their lives.
Report. Zhao Xingmi, the general on duty, did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported to Sima Jinda, the General Staff Officer of the Forbidden Army. Sima Jinda then forwarded it to the Zhu Kingdom, and the Duke of Rui Kingdom, Zuo Yiwei General Sima Huada.
Sima Huada did not dare to neglect, so he could only hurriedly transfer the matter to Nanya while Sima Jinda hurriedly washed his face and came to see the pilgrim saint.
After struggling for a long time, the sage finally conveyed the decree and gathered Jiangdu's important officials to discuss the matter.
To be honest, we haven't seen this kind of occasion for more than half a year... The last time we discussed setting up a palace in Jiangning, it was only then that everyone realized that there seemed to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this court.
Sima Jinda stood inside the door with his head half lowered, his eyes scanning from the farthest end, that is, the innermost side:
Prince Qi's face was pale, and he only stood in the uppermost position with his hands bowed. If he hadn't seen His Highness's sharpness in the past few years, Sima Jinda would almost have thought that he was a waste... but it seemed that he would become a waste in the past few years;
After King Qi came the two grandsons... This shocked Sima Jinda, and then he keenly realized that the two accompanying grandsons had actually grown up in the past few years and were no longer young men;
After the emperor's grandson is his brother. Although his brother has washed his face, the smell of alcohol on his body can still be smelled from a long distance away. He seems to be a loser... But after all, he is his eldest brother and the head of the Sima family.
, is Erlang's biological father...of course, he is also the number one person in the Forbidden Army, and is his biggest backer for actually assuming power in the Forbidden Army;
After the elder brother, there were three other generals and generals in charge of the first guard. Among them, Smadeke immediately winked at him when he saw him. The other two nodded slightly when they saw him, but they didn't know that they were hinting.
What, still saying hello casually;
As for the last person, he was as tall as a giant and occupied half of the queue. Suddenly, the general manager of Jiangdu came to fight. This grandmaster who was born in Jiangdu did not speak to the others, but just lowered his head and stared blankly;
Opposite this row of people, the one at the back was none other than Mr. Yu Changji... Frankly speaking, Sima Jinda still felt a little guilty towards this Mr. Yu who independently supported Nanya in Jiangdu, even though he had just witnessed his excessive greed the night before.
;
It was the uncle Xiao Yu who acted as the target of Xianggong Yu. Now his face is expressionless and he doesn't know what he is thinking. There are really not many other decent people. It's just that some of Xianggong Yu's deputies need a little attention, such as the two internal historians.
, one is Feng Chang, who is from Bohai and the real right-hand man of Xianggong Yu, and the other is Niu Fangsheng;
In addition to these people, there are two groups nearby, one is a few people standing behind the throne, including Fu Baolang Xu Hong; the other is two pavilion officials standing outside the palace, one of whom is Zhang Qianda
.
No matter what, there are people of his own in all directions, which still gives Sima Jinda, the planner of today's events, a little more confidence.
Just as he was thinking about it, the saint came in wearing short clothes and a scarf, holding a staff, and everyone quickly bowed down and saluted.
After the ceremony, Sima Jinda raised his head and saw a person behind the saint. He was shocked, but had nothing to say... because that was none other than Duke Niu, who had not been seen for a long time.
"Everything is known, what do you mean?" The emperor sat casually and spoke casually. He did not ask Sima Jinda to report the situation at all.
"Reporting to your majesty, I thought I could call General Tuwanlao over for testing." A person immediately came out, it was my uncle Xiao Yu. "To avoid hurting innocent people or misunderstanding."
"You have a kind heart, but you are also impatient." The emperor sneered and looked at the others again. "King Qi, what do you think?"
"I think what my uncle said may not be undesirable." King Qi raised his head, his face turning red.
"You are kind-hearted, but also impatient... General Tuwan is here, Jiangdong is yours, right?" The emperor sneered again.
"My son, I didn't have any evil intentions, I was just worried that the situation would get out of control." King Qi lowered his head, and the color on his face disappeared.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is indeed possible to invite General Tuwan to Jiangdu to ask questions...but to prevent this from backfire, and to ensure that he cannot seize the opportunity to escape, we must send someone who can keep an eye on him."
At this moment, Sima Jinda decisively raised his hand and spoke. "If he really wants to rebel, he will be suppressed; if he is not rebelling, he will just come to Jiangdu to replace him... I recommend him to be the general manager and lead the troops."
"That's fine." The emperor thought for a moment, then went to see Lai Zhan'er again. "Lai Qing, just take a trip!"
Lai Zhan'er hesitated for a moment and then stepped out of the queue: "I am not afraid of war, but I am a little worried about the situation in Jiangdu..."
"What's the situation in Jiangdu?" the emperor said immediately. "What's the situation in Jiangdu? Yu Changji?"
"Report to Your Majesty." Yu Changji immediately came out. "The morale of the army is a little fluctuating, and there are rumors that the entire army will return north on March 15th."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sima Huada again: "Mr. Rui Guo."
"Hui Sage, there is such a thing." Sima Huada's face turned red. "But this kind of rumors come out every now and then... I dare not hide it. The reason why it is serious this time is precisely because there are other things in the long discussion.
The rumors are all gathered together, so they appear more powerful than before."
The emperor frowned slightly, looked past Sima Huada and looked at another trusted general: "Sima Deke."
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Sima Deke hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand. "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. There have always been rumors, but this time they are so powerful. It was caused by Wang Huaitong of Taiyuan going to see General Tuwan a few days ago... So
, these two things are actually the same thing.”
"I knew it." The emperor sneered again and went to see Lai Zhan'er again. "Come on, manager, did you hear that? If you don't bring the Tu Wan Chang Lun, there will be chaos here... The Tu Wan Chang Lun is
To be continued...
