Chapter 211 Jiangnan people have chosen
outside the capital,
Yangxin Hall,
Dai Quan was stunned when he heard this. Why would the emperor think of him? Is it really appropriate to let King Zhongshun go?
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, why not summon the elders here to discuss it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shihong naturally knew that there was something inappropriate, and civil servants should not get involved in this matter, otherwise civil and military conflicts would lead to chaos.
Jiangnan must not be in chaos, and the aristocratic family must not be allowed to grow bigger. It must be done skillfully, but the difficulty lies in who can take over this important task.
"No need, this matter needs to be considered. I ask me, why can't I be loyal to the king?"
Dai Quan had a sad face and had to reply;
"Bidong, do you remember the call for reinforcements from outside the border?"
After hearing this, Emperor Wu completely gave up the idea of sending King Zhongshun to Jiangnan. Will King Zhongshun's status in Wu Huang Rong Shihong's heart plummet due to matters outside the customs?
I originally thought that King Zhongshun could do it, but I didn't expect that the emperor's younger brother was ambitious and talented, and he was too selfish to be useful. Thinking of the old capital of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, Ruming didn't know what to do.
Furthermore, whether the Zhen family can firmly occupy a large area of the imperial estate in the south of the Yangtze River, since Prince Dongping gave up his military power and withdrew from the territory of the south of the Yangtze River, has the Zhen family been left out? They eat most of the food and are afraid of choking to death.
Thinking of the old concubine Zhen of Changle Palace, she looked very much like the concubine of Beijing, and Emperor Wu felt a little depressed, which was very inappropriate.
The Zhen family's actions were too fast. Could that boy Wang Shuirong of Beijing have fallen into the Zhen family's trap?
"Dai Quan, who are the people from the Imperial City Division who are staying in Jinling?"
"Going back to Bidong, there are four guards from the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Teng Xiang's left and right guards, Wu Xiang's left and right guards are all staying at the gate of Jinling. The people from the Imperial City Department are watching closely there.
."
Dai Quan thought for a while and blurted out that the Dawu imperial court would stay in Jiangnan just in case.
Emperor Wu was convinced after hearing this. The five guards were the elite of the imperial army. They were all members of the old camp. He didn't know how many troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River were interested in the imperial court.
"Dai Quan, notify the Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, Huben Guards, Fujun Guards, and the Five Guards in Jinling to prepare for the south east."
Dai Quan was shocked and said cautiously;
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The imperial guards in the capital must not move lightly. The time is running out, so be patient."
Wu Huang Rong Shihong had a gloomy look on his face. He knew that he was impatient. The emperor was very present and the soldiers could not move without permission, especially the imperial army. If the imperial army moved southward, the whole world would be shocked and rumors would spread everywhere.
When can I get my hair back? I have endured it for more than ten years. I am begging for patience, but I am not willing to give in.
"I know, so if I give up, how can I rest assured?"
Dai Quan wiped his sweat,
"Bidong, do you remember the foreign reinforcements very well?"
Wu Huang Rong Shihong was awakened by Dai Quan's words. When he thought of reinforcements, he naturally thought of Marquis Luo Yun. He originally wanted to keep him in the capital to help him break the situation, but God's calculations are not as good as those in the south of the Yangtze River.
"I know, is it okay for Marquis Luo Yun to do this? If he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, there will be more chaos. There are many aristocratic families left behind in Jinling who have grudges against him."
Does Dai Quan also know about the affairs of Luo Yunhou's mother and the Jia family in Jinling, Jiangnan? If Luo Yunhou cannot hold back his sword and kills too many people, it will be in trouble, but that's all for now. Lin Ruhai can't wait much longer.
It's time.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Luo Yun went to Jiangnan. It is indeed a clever move, but the Marquis's sword is too fast. Those people in Jiangnan don't know the cruelty outside the pass. They are afraid that they will not be able to hold back the sword and they will be in trouble."
Emperor Wu pondered for a long time, thinking of Lin Ruhai's tragic situation, and of those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. He looked up at Dai Quan with red eyes and said;
"I don't think so. The south of the Yangtze River has been at peace for a long time. In the east, there are cliques, corruption, and aristocratic families running rampant. It's time to let them know the suffering at the border. I really want to let the border troops go there for a tour.
"
"Your Majesty, don't do it. The frontier troops have been suffering for a long time. It's hard to poke a hole in the sky when you get to the rich land of Jiangnan. Dawu's taxes are all in Jiangnan."
Dai Quan was so frightened that he knelt down and remonstrated. Emperor Wu also smiled, knowing that Jiangnan was very demanding.
"I don't know if that's why they dare to act so boldly. If they don't take the imperial court seriously, let the people from the Imperial City Department set up an outpost first. Marquis Luo Yun will wait for a few months."
"No, Your Majesty."
Luoyunhou Mansion,
The spies sent by Ningbian also came to Ningrong Street in disguise.
After walking around for a long time, we arrived at Liutiao Hutong, where we saw many members of the Jia family registering and chatting not far away.
He leaned over and asked;
"Brother, ask me something, what are you doing in front of me? Is there any good way to make a living?"
"Who am I? Where did I come from? This place belongs to the Jia family. I don't need people from outside. I don't want to accept people from the Jia family. I don't care where I come from."
After saying this, one of the Jia family's side wives started to chase people away, and several other people also looked wary. Such a good business must be maintained by one's own people, and it is not the turn of outsiders to steal their jobs.
The spies had no choice but to take a quick look and left the alley, but after careful inquiries at the tea stalls and teahouses outside, they found out the whole story. It turned out that the second mistress of the Rongguo Mansion was recruiting people to run the business.
After waiting for a while and finding nothing else, I walked around a few times, returned to the Marquis' Mansion, and reported the matter in detail to General Yingbian.
Ningbian didn't delay too much. After listening, he went to the backyard.
"Master Marquis, the spy is back."
Zhang Jinyu lay on the chair and squinted for a while, stretched out and asked if she could hear Ning Bian's words;
"What should I say? What's wrong with the Jia family?"
Ning Bian hugged his fist and said;
"Your Majesty, the Rongguo Mansion is preparing a big banquet for the clan members tomorrow, and now everyone is going inside and outside to prepare it. Moreover, outside, the second mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng, is recruiting workers from the Jia family. I heard that she is running a business.
"
Zhang Jinyu was about to drink tea when her legs shook and she knocked over the tea bowl. The tea splashed all over the table. Ning Bian quickly came over to help her.
"Master Hou, are you okay?"
Zhang Jinyu swung her legs, took the brocade cloth and wiped it.
"It's okay. What did I just say? The banquet at Rongguo Mansion, am I sure?"
"Go back to the Marquis and make sure that the spies sent out are not old men in the army. They have been watching there for a long time and there should be no mistakes."
Ning Bian answered affirmatively beside him.
Zhang Jinyu was a little puzzled when he heard this. Jia Lian was out of his mind. He was so rich on such an occasion. If something happened to the government, he couldn't use the Jia family's face as a bargaining chip.
Zhang Jinyu couldn't figure it out, and was afraid that the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion were colluding, and there was something wrong with it. After all, the Jia family had suffered so many losses at his own expense.
"Come on, I'll bring the brothers from the Pioneer Battalion here. I don't need more people, just two hundred people. Let's see what the Jia family wants to do?"
"No, Lord, the general will know in the end."
After Yingbian reported, he wanted to leave, but suddenly he thought of the greetings and invitations from the government, and said;
"That's wrong, Lord Marquis. Niu Jizong and other frontier generals want to have a banquet with Lord Marquis at Zuixian Tower. How should I respond to this matter?"
"When did this happen?"
Zhang Jinyu gets a headache now when she hears about drinking and attending banquets, especially with those fierce drinkers like Niu Jizong.
"Go back to Lord Marquis, probably tomorrow night."
Does Zhang Jinyu really don’t want to go? It’s so boring for a group of big men to drink there. The brothel’s brothel sister can’t be as comfortable as her own beautiful concubine, so she has to think of a way to do it;
"Well, I'll just say that I'm not feeling well and refuse first. I'll wait for Toji to talk about it later. I'll be more tactful in my reply."
"No, you will never know."
Ning Bian bowed his legs and walked out of the house. Zhang Jinyu stood up and looked out the window. There was a withering look, and there were cold plums standing proudly in the dry courtyard.
"I'm sorry, the solitary plum trees are good, but there is no beauty like a hundred flowers blooming. The Jia family really needs to get involved."
In Zuixian Tower, the generals of the border army who had already set up a banquet were gathered around, talking, and waiting for the report from the East.
"Brother Niu, I asked Marquis Luo Yun, can you come? We are taking the liberty of inviting someone at the door so suddenly."
Liu Fang muttered on the side.
Chen Ruiwen also has a big headache. Is he so careless in doing things now? He can't make arrangements in advance.
"He said we shouldn't tell him in advance and invite people over while we're having dinner. How could there be any sense in that? We'd force him to come out of the house tomorrow night. Don't you know they have something to do?"
"What's the matter with me? Could it be that my lovely wife and concubine didn't have enough hugs during those two mornings and I really want to play with her for two days? Can I do that?"
Hou Xiaolian also joked there, and the few people made more and more fools of themselves, and Niu Jizong had to go to the waiter in the wrong way;
"Waiter, don't shut up, hurry up and bring us all the food for the legs, and bring four jars of the prepared knives."
Although the few people were joking, they never thought that Niu Jizong actually called the children to eat, and no one was there.
After all was said and done, Chen Ruiwen asked directly;
