Chapter 45 The advantage is in me
Yu Liang was waiting for the news. While waiting for the news, he also dealt with state affairs and sorted out his thoughts.
Don't let your anger mislead your judgment.
It took several hours for the news to arrive in Taiwan Province. By then it was completely dark, and palace lanterns were lit in the Chancery's Taichung.
The flickering lights of the palace lanterns swayed, making the originally hot air even hotter.
The slightly pungent smell makes people irritated by the way.
In the yellowish light, there are two figures.
One is sitting on his knees and the other is standing.
The person sitting on his knees is thin, but the person standing is broad-shouldered, seven and a half feet tall, and is a strong man wearing military uniform.
"I am reporting to the Duke that there is no trace of him in Prince Sima Zong's palace, and his family members have also left long ago."
Run away early?
"Sima Zong is leaving Jiankang. There must be a lot of noise. I don't know where he is going?" Yu Liang frowned. What happened today was very unpleasant.
"Sima Zong took more than a hundred guards with him today in the name of going hunting in the fields of Zhongshan. After leaving the city, hundreds of rangers followed him and went to Zhongshan together. There is a curfew in Jiankang now. Sima Zong has not returned yet, so he may have run away.
Well, I’m afraid he had a plan for what happened today.”
Ran away?
Already have a plan?
Phew~
Yu Liang forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Go to Zhongshan, where did you flee to?"
"I heard from passers-by that they were going to Jingkou along the main road to Jingkou."
Going to Jingkou?
Yu Liang was stunned for a moment.
"Boshu means that Sima Zong wants to cross the river north of Jingkou and divert to Guangling?"
Zhao Yin nodded heavily.
"I'm afraid that's it."
"No wonder there are thieves in Zhongshan Temple. I am afraid they are people sent by Sima Zong. There are hundreds of people. It is really a big scene. I have made it clear to your majesty before. Sima Zong unites heroes and uses them as his confidants, which will inevitably lead to chaos. At the beginning
if
Listen to my words, cut off the wings of the rangers, and these things will never happen today. Those willful rangers are so brave, they dare to assassinate the imperial officials, Bo Shu, the rangers from Jiankang, and even Danyang County will be arrested.
prison."
Zhao Yin nodded lightly.
Yu Liang thought for a moment and then asked:
"Can I catch up with Sima Zong along the main road to Jingkou and intercept him?"
Zhao Yin shook his head slightly and said: "General Hussar left for a day first, and he had horses. Even if we galloped hard, we could not catch up. There are not hundreds of knights in Kuang Jiankang, and Jingkou is where Gaopinghou is stationed.
, all it takes is for the Duke to write a letter and send it to Marquis Gaoping, and then Marquis Gaoping will definitely capture Sima Zong and escort him back to Jiankang, all it takes is a messenger!"
"You are right."
Yu Liang immediately picked up his pen and started to write, and after a while, a letter was written.
He handed it to the minister on duty at the Shangshu Desk and said: "Send this letter to Jingkou quickly at night and hand it over to Marquis Gaoping."
"promise."
After handling this matter, Yu Liang felt a little better, but he had to deal with more than just Sima Zong.
"Dazong Zheng Yuyin also escaped?"
"Dazong Zheng is actually in the mansion, but he has also dismissed his servants, leaving only his family members."
"This is because he is self-aware. He knows that he has done something treasonous, and it is difficult to protect his property and life. If he had known today, why would he have done it in the first place? The guards in the hundreds of palaces in Zhongshan Temple were instigated to rebel. Someone with such a reputation must have
It's Yu Yin who plots to seize the Queen Mother and plots rebellion. It's enough to kill the three clans, but have you sent him to Tingwei Prison?"
Zhao Yin shook his head.
"Yu Yin is the younger brother of Empress Yuan Jing. He was also very loyal to the late emperor. Therefore, the general just asked people to surround his house so that he could not escape."
"If he has done such a heinous and unethical thing, if he is not punished, wouldn't everyone in the world follow his example? Or should he be thrown into Tingwei's prison?"
"Sima Zong absconded but Yu Yin did not. Maybe Yu Yin has something to hide. Besides... Yu Yin is just an accomplice at most, and he is definitely not the principal culprit."
After hearing what Zhao Yin said, Yu Liang was silent for a moment.
"You are right."
Yu Liang stood up in front of the paperwork and sighed deeply.
"Now Sima Zong is plotting a rebellion, and Su Jun, the Duke of Shaoling County, is also involved. What does Bo Shu think?"
"I'm just a general, so I can't speak highly. Sima Zong rebelled, and Yu Yin worked as an accomplice. In short, the people are dissatisfied. Now the princess is in charge of the province, but there are countless constraints in the court. How difficult is it to realize her ambitions? Su Jun is
Guangling Fangzhen has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, tens of thousands of households, plenty of food, and is brave and good at fighting. We sincerely cannot be enemies with them."
Yu Liang didn't like hearing this.
"Bo Shu is a bit too ambitious for others, which destroys his own prestige. I just asked Pingnan General Wen Qiao to go out to control Wuchang and command the military in Jiangzhou. With the full support of Bo Shu and General Dang Kou, why are we afraid of Su Jun?"
Zhao Yin said honestly: "The general will definitely support the Duke, but my brother is a person who doesn't do anything good. If you want him and the general to support him, I'm afraid the Duke will need to put more thought into it."
."
The implication...
You haven't dealt with the gangster general Zhao Xun yet, so don't mess with Su Jun yet.
"I want to marry the Zhao family of Tianshui. What does Bo Shu think?"
I want to ask what kind of relationship can shorten the distance between high-ranking families.
The most common and useful one is the marriage relationship.
certainly...
There are also those who recognize adopted sons and adoptive fathers.
"My son Zhao Sheng has indeed reached the age to talk about marriage."
Zhao Yin nodded lightly.
"If you can marry the Duke of the country, you will serve yourself."
The corner of Yu Liang's mouth twitched, and he secretly scolded you, Zhao Yin, for being so thick-skinned.
Your son is clearly a martial artist, he doesn't look like a member of a noble family at all. That Zhao Yue...
He looked like a member of a noble family just now.
certainly...
It’s not easy to say this directly.
"Mr. Sheng is certainly good, but I know Mr. Yue is one year older than Mr. Sheng. I'm afraid he needs a match more, right?"
"This is my brother's family matter, but it is beyond my control."
silence...
There was another moment of silence.
"I will write a letter to General Dangkou later."
Yu Liang walked to a palace lantern, looked at the swaying light of the lamp, suddenly reached out his hand and pinched the wick. The flame immediately went out, and the corner of the Chancery's desk was temporarily plunged into darkness.
"It is true that Su Jun is powerful, but just like this palace lantern, there is plenty of oil and fire, but it will be extinguished with just a pinch. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers and countless people under his command are, in the final analysis, still our Great Jin Dynasty."
The subjects are His Majesty’s subjects.
I summon Su Jun to the court as the chief minister of agriculture. Even if he is dissatisfied and wants to make a move, how can his subordinates rebel against him?
Moreover, there are General Dangkou in Huainan, General Pingnan in Jiangzhou, Stone City, Xizhou City, and Dongfu City in Jiankang, and there are heavy troops and armor, why should we be afraid of the refugees like Su Jun, Bo Shu, don’t you think so?”
This time it was Zhao Yin's turn to be silent.
