Chapter 289 The Cicada to Catch Comes Out
So, the eunuch took the imperial edict and the two Jinyi captains to set out towards Luoyang City. Although the battle is temporarily halted, Li Zicheng has not retreated, so Luoyang City is still on guard. [】At night, they finally entered Luoyang City. They were still a little worried, and they were all carrying a lot of gold and silver around them. If the defenders did not let go, they would use gold and silver to open the way.
Unexpectedly, it went very smoothly. In fact, this was the result of Zhang Linqi's secret operation. He notified the defenders to let him go, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.
After entering Luoyang City, the three of them did not dare to pause and went straight to the Fu Palace. After arriving at the Fu Palace, the eunuch took out the temperament of an angel and said loudly to the gatekeeper: "The court has the will to come down, and quickly accept the order."
The concierge of the Fu Palace often receives imperial edicts, so I was not surprised when I saw this scene. After a brief look at the three people coming, the horse went in to deliver the letter.
Soon, the butler of the Fu Palace respectfully welcomed the three angels in. After verifying the token, he immediately released them.
His obstacle was passed, that is, the forged imperial edict was realistic, so there was no flaw. "Where is the King of Fu? The family must read the imperial edict in person" the eunuch said in a big way.
"Angel, please wait. The prince is taking a shower and changing clothes, and the horse will come." The housekeeper of the Fu Palace said carefully. Then he served the fragrant tea. Soon, the Fu came and said he was here, but in fact he was carried by someone along with the seat and the person. Because he was too fat, the Fu King had a tendency to lose his walking function. He could only be carried. The eunuch, who was so fat, couldn't help but maliciously guessed that he was so fat. I wonder if he wanted others to help when he was lucky to those concubines!
"Angel, read the imperial edict." King Fu said in this small team, neither humble nor arrogant. If it were ordinary people, they would kneel down to welcome the imperial edict. However, because King Fu had a noble status and was the emperor's uncle of Chongzhen, this procedure could be avoided.
"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that King Qian'an was trapped in the enemy. I was uneasy. It was not too late to make up for the bribe. After seeing this order, the emperor's uncle could pack up his luggage and move his family to the capital to settle down..." After the eunuch read the imperial edict in a slight and silence, King Fu's face showed a happy and sad look. He was happy that his nephew who was far away in the capital was really full of family affection. He thought about taking him back to the capital.
To be honest, King Fu has long been reluctant to stay in Luoyang. Although it is the old capital of the previous dynasty, it is very prosperous, but when King Fu, who is timid and afraid of death, comes, Luoyang is not as prosperous as the capital! In the past, it was just because of the ancestral rules that the vassal king had to be in place, King Fu had to be trapped in Luoyang. Now with this imperial edict, it is legitimate. King Fu wished he could stretch out his wings and fly directly to the capital!
What I worry about is that although the town has won a small victory and the bandits have lost it, Li Zicheng is still entrenched outside Luoyang City and has not retreated. In this way, if the whole family relocates, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth?
The eunuch was also very clever and had a difficult situation for King Fu. He smiled at King Fu and said, "Your Majesty, don't make things difficult. When you came, the emperor had already considered this factor. So he issued a secret order to Zhang Linqi, the general of the State, secretly asked him to send him to protect the town, so the prince doesn't have to worry." As the eunuch raised his head to the Western wall clock on the table, he smiled slightly, "I guess the time, after the general of the State, after receiving the imperial edict, he was about to arrive at the prince's mansion."
"Okay, okay, so good, with the escort of the town, I will be worried." King Fu laughed happily. He thought to himself that the nephew was really considerate and thought of everything. At this time, he felt a sense of ease of escape from the constraints. When King Fu looked happy, the eunuch felt a hint of sarcasm. Are you worried? He is indeed worried. Because he will be gone in hell...
As the eunuch finished speaking, the butler waiting outside had already walked in quickly and bowed to King Fu and said, "Your Majesty, the general of Zhenguo is asking for a meeting."
"Okay, okay, it's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." King Fu said happily: "Hurry and invite him." Zhang Linqi had visited him before, but King Fu was not so enthusiastic. Now it was related to King Fu's wealth and life. The horse would rely on him and immediately became enthusiastic.
"Haha, I've seen the prince." Not long after, 'Zhang Linqi' walked in quickly. Hey, King Fu squinted the little green bean eyes and felt a little strange. He seemed to think that Zhang Linqi was a little different. However, King Fu quickly gave up this idea because he knew about his own affairs. As Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang City in the past few days, he had been worried and afraid and had not had a good sleep. It was common for him to have some problems with his eyes... For example, last night, he mistakenly regarded his concubine Wang as Li, and waited until the bed to find out that this was not his favorite concubine, but King Fu was lazy, so he was wrong.
"Haha, the general of the country is coming at the right time." King Fu said with a smile: "You have received the imperial edict. I am going to start soon. I wonder what you mean?"
"Don't worry, the town can escort the prince to the capital anytime and anywhere." Zhang Linqi said carelessly: "I guarantee that Li Zicheng and others dare not harass the prince."
"Okay, okay, then that's it." King Fu nodded repeatedly and said, "Since we are moving, there are many things in our house and we need to deal with them, so we won't leave you. As for the time to set off? It's scheduled for ten days. Of course, I won't let the town go to waste. Promise that this ten thousand taels of silver is a reward." King Fu simply started to drive people away after getting the letter. And taking out ten thousand taels of silver at once was the only one. It's probably not because the horse was going to borrow money to the town, he couldn't even give it one tael of silver.
"Okay, goodbye." Zhang Linqi was also worried. Now that he saw King Fu's order to expel guests, he was just right and wanted to do so. So he quickly bowed to King Fu and took over a silver note of 10,000 taels of silver. He said goodbye.
After Zhang Linqi left, King Fu sent the Angels and his group away again, but did not rest immediately. Instead, he issued an order and said to the housekeeper: "Import now and let my children prepare. We will leave this ghost place in ten days!"
"Yes," the butler quickly agreed, and then bowed and walked out. Soon, all the royal palaces of all sizes in Luoyang City began to move. Those who sold land and those who sold land and those who sold houses directly promoted the popularity of the trading market for a time.
In Li Zicheng's big tent, the eunuch and his group and fake Zhang Linqi, that is, Wang Lian'an, have already returned. At this moment, Li Zicheng was listening carefully to the report of Wang Lian'an and the eunuch, and Song Xiance was also listening carefully.
After hearing the eunuch and Wang Lian'an finish talking, Li Zicheng and Song Xiance looked at each other, but laughed out loud: "Haha, big things can be accomplished." After laughing, Li Zicheng said to the eunuch and Wang Lian'an: "If things succeed, the two of you will make great efforts and will naturally be rewarded in the future. Now let's retreat first!" "Yes" the eunuch and Wang Lian'an agreed in unison and retreated.
Of course, the eunuch was full of joy and thought it was a great achievement, so he would wait for the benefit in the future. Wang Lian'an also understood in his heart, haha, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole behind him, I am afraid that it will not be a big thing to accomplish, but a big thing will be gone!
After only Li Zicheng and Song Xiance were left in the tent, the two of them made detailed arrangements at that time, because the prey this time was too important. The emperor's current uncle is rich enough to rival a country. If he can take him down, there is no need to worry about food and grass, so he can't tolerate any carelessness.
Ten days later, the people in Luoyang City spent these days worrying and fearing. Although Li Zicheng's attack on Luoyang has become much smaller these days, thousands of people came in a sparse way, one mile away from Luoyang City, and he randomly set off an arrow. It tastes like fishing for two days and three days of drying! However, the people's ideas are obviously not like this. Since the bandits are still siegeing the city, it means that the crisis has not been completely eliminated. Second, it is circulating in the public now.
It is said that the family of King Fu is going to move north. Many people say that they have a nose and eyes. The third son of King Fu has just taken action on several houses, and King Fu himself has also taken action on a big move. The people have a bit of complicated relationship with this kind of news.
What I am happy is that this great disaster that has been entrenched in Luoyang for decades is finally leaving. I am worried that when King Fu leaves, the defense power of Luoyang City will be weakened to a certain extent. Of course, there are many people who secretly cursed King Fu to walk halfway and were captured by Li Zicheng alive and captured the sky lantern...
On October 9, the 13th year of Chongzhen, the Beiguan of Luoyang City opened on that day, and a huge convoy emerged. The number of people in this convoy did not seem to be a convoy, but should be called a traffic flow. Not to mention, the length of this team alone reached ten miles, and four carriages were driving side by side. Because Luoyang is a big city, the official road was well built.
