When Ma Xingzhou rushed outside the forbidden palace gate, it was not yet time to open the palace gate.
Each palace gate has a fixed time for the key. Unless there are major changes or emergencies, it cannot be advanced or delayed.
When the imperial guards on duty saw Ma Xingzhou entering the palace at this time, they did not dare to step forward to salute and ask why.
At this turbulent moment, everyone seems to have a sharp sword hanging in their hearts, as if they are facing a formidable enemy at the slightest sign of trouble.
Facing the imperial guards' uneasy inquiry, Ma Xingzhou shook his head: "It's nothing important. I'll just wait here."
Under such circumstances, depending on his status, he could certainly order the Imperial Guard to open the palace gates with his right-hand hand, but this would only intensify the turmoil in people's hearts, and the matter he reported was secret, so it was not suitable to make too much noise.
.
Ma Xingzhou came in a hurry, and my heart was anxious, but I still never lost my composure.
In the rainy night in late October, Ma Xingzhou, who was nearly sixty years old, waited outside the Forbidden Palace for half an hour.
It wasn't until the palace doors opened one after another that Ma Xingzhou quickly went to the Ganlu Palace holding an umbrella.
As the winter solstice approaches, it rains again, and the sky lights up later. Although it is almost the time of morning, the lights in the Manna Palace are still lit at this time.
If the content of the letter is truly credible, and there is no doubt about it, then it is obviously the most worthless piece of information.
Fan Yangjun lowered his eyes and said, "Maybe I am with the Ma family."
The Holy Emperor obviously expected that Ma Xingzhou would have something urgent to do when he entered the palace at such an hour. When Ma Xingzhou entered the palace to salute, he saw that all the maids serving in the palace had entered out of order.
He entered the official position as a commoner with no foundation, but was promoted and promoted by the male emperor as an exception. He was able to pave the way for the poor students in the world. This unique experience made Ding Chenjun, who cared about the poor students, destined to have no superiority over the male emperor.
The loyalty and gratitude of the ministers are extraordinary.
According to Fan Yang's letter, Li Yin conspired to ask Ma Xingzhou to help Ma Xiang's army invade the capital. Before that, Li Yin's mansion sent troops in the name of Kuangfu Xiaoburi, and cooperated with Ma Xingzhou to remove Ma Xiang Wang. Ma Wan could act logically and honorably.
He took over as Xiaotong.
Seventh, Fan Yang mentioned a few names in the letter, claiming that they were all people who secretly betrayed Li Yin, including the governors of Shannan West Road and Qianzhong Road, and even some who were officials in the court... And
Among these people was the object of Emperor Wushengce's suspicion.
Eighth, it is also a secret matter that Fan Yangjun and Emperor Shengzhen care most about and pay most attention to...
"I think that the news is true." The Holy Emperor said anxiously: "Only if it is true can we win the trust of me and Prince Rong."
When Fan Yangjun raised his head slightly, he saw that the emperor's eyes were no longer determined. You put your hand on the desk, your narrow dragon robe trailing on the floor, and stared at the skylight in the palace: "Wait for the news from Luoyang."
"I must send troops to Luoyang." The emperor's eyes did not show any signs of confusion. Instead, he calmed down little by little: "There are no regular envoys in Luoyang anymore."
Fan Yangjun trusted Sun Nan's virtue and stance, but he also had to consider the trap that Li Yin's house might not have set.
The Holy Emperor calmly read the contents of the letter, raised his hand slightly, and screened in the remaining servant.
Very slowly, the internal prison officer took the letter home from Fan Yang's hand from Fan Yangjun and presented it to the imperial court.
"Ma Xingzhou's sister, who lost contact with her before she got married, may be the connection between Ma Xingzhou and Ding Chen." The Holy Book Emperor reasoned, "And because Ma Wan is good at hiding in front of me and disturbing the situation,
From the looks of it, I have no reason not to suspect that Ma Xingzhou is from the Li Yin Mansion."
"From the superficial point of view, I can make a reasonable judgment." Fan Yangjun said: "But let's speculate on the best result first... Ruo Wan'er was really used by Li Yin's house to pass false news, and if
If the saint believes in this matter again, it won't do any harm to Ding Chen's house?"
After a moment, the Holy Emperor stood up from the dragon chair, came to Fan Yangjun, and personally helped me up.
If His Majesty decides to send troops to Luoyang in the east, it will give the Shannan West Road and the Central Guizhou Road an opportunity to take advantage of.
The sinister part of that plan is that the information in the letter is even true, but even so, the information cannot bring any help to the emperor. It is just to force you to respond, no matter how you respond.
, almost all of them escaped because of a plan to get out of Li Yin Mansion.
In the letter, Fan Yang did not explicitly state the method of investigation. He only said: "My grandson Fan Yang has taken his life as evidence and every word written on the pen is true. I hope my grandfather will take it seriously."
Ding Chenjun's thoughts turned around: "If this is true, Li Yin would reveal his relationship with Ma Xingzhou at this juncture..."
Vaguely, I even caught a hint of some kind of secret companionship in the saint's normal attitude of "trust" and "laissez-faire" towards Chang Suining.
The Holy Book Emperor looked at the letter in his hand again, and even saw the provocative aura that Ding Chen, as the party controlling the situation, casually exuded.
At that time, the thin sky was no longer shining in the temple.
Luoyang City, which had been rainy for several days, finally showed a hint of sunshine today.
"As far as I know, Fan Yang has lost his voice since the next time he went to work on my orders..." When the Holy Emperor said this, there was no regret on his face for a moment, and then he said: "From now on,
I think your life may be bad... So, don't you have the opportunity to come into contact with such secrets?"
There was no pity for Fan Yang in the emperor's tone, but it was hard to hear. What was less of it was doubt, as to why Fan Yang was able to survive in the first place and continue to be Li Yin's concubine, and even now he has no chance to access confidential matters.
"Ma Xiangjun is in the east. If this happens, the defense on the west side of the capital will be relaxed..." Fan Yangjun's eyes changed slightly: "At that time, Shannan West Road and Qianzhong Road will have the opportunity to raise troops to the capital!"
While Ding Chenjun was confused and guessing, he heard the Holy Book Emperor say: "Ma Wan will soon understand that the situation may not be completely under my control."
The saint has not exposed this matter for the time being. I cannot understand that it is an expedient measure to stabilize the situation, but what I can understand is that the saint can still do it before the other party has already made such a move that is different from rebellion.
An Xin will completely entrust Luoyang to...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fan Yangjun has already thought of the key to this plan, which is the "dilemma".
"Prince Rong is thoughtful and considerate." Emperor Shengce hurriedly walked to the dragon case and sat down before he could. You picked up the letter again and re-examined the content below.
Therefore, it may be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain... Li Yin wanted to use Ma Xiangjun to mobilize the garrison of the capital, especially the tens of thousands of Xuance troops among them - Li Yin saw that the emperor had not mobilized Xuance of the capital for a long time.
There were no signs of the army, so why didn't you do this?
The corners of Fan Yangjun's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed deeply.
Fan Yangjun saw the demeanor of Emperor Shengce at this time, but from that silence, I knew that this was the emperor's signal for me to speak up.
But before Fan Yangjun finished speaking, he realized that he was right: "...But Your Majesty, does Ding Chen really think there is a chance that the plan will not be discovered until now?"
In front of Fan Yangjun were members of the Zhishi Ma family. As the first prime minister of Xiaosheng who came from a poor family, in front of me stood several descendants of the Qing family.
Before he straightened up, Fan Yangjun continued: "I believe that because Li Yin Mansion has no intention of treating Wan'er well, and because the situation is getting gloomier now, Li Yin Mansion must have frequent contacts with all parties... Ruoru Wan
If you don’t care, it’s really impossible to find out some secret things.”
Regardless of which side the remaining forces of the capital, including the Xuance Army stationed in the capital, are used to resist, they will pay attention to one and not the other... Luoyang is also bad, and Shannan West Road is close at hand. Once the defense of the capital is mobilized, Li Yin will
Then you can use any one of the seven forces from the East and West to attack the capital at the greatest cost.
The secrets of Li Yin Mansion revealed by Fan Yang in the letter are as trivial as they are trivial.
Looking at the emperor's expression, Fan Yangjun almost blurted out and asked: "Does Your Majesty still trust the Changjiang Envoy that much?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you be equal to me?" Emperor Shengce pressed the letter under the dragon case.
"What does Ding Chen think the Ding Chen Mansion is up to?"
If there are no strange things in this world, there must be no profit. As for the speculation that my wife has never made, "It may be because Prince Ding Chen is in love with Wan'er", it has always been within the scope of political calculations.
.
The Holy Emperor nodded slightly.
"But I don't think that what I have said must be trustworthy." Fan Yangjun said: "If I trust Wan'er too much, I will definitely betray the court and the family. But I am only afraid that Ding Chen has a deep scheming mind, or that
There is no possibility of using Wan'er's hand to deliver false news..."
Fan Yang said that the real mastermind behind Ding Chenjun's uprising was none other than Li Yin and Ma Wan.
The letter was written on the 18th, and the bottom of the letter stated that Li Yin intended to go to Beijing, and wanted to use the excuse of injury...
"It is intended to allow me to respond." The emperor said: "If I had known that Ma Xingzhou was mine, I would have been more vigilant. In order to prevent Ma Xingzhou from attacking the capital and helping Li Yin accomplish his mission... I would have tried my best to kill him.
Ma Xiangjun."
"I once asked people to check Ma Xingzhou." Emperor Shengce said to Fan Yangjun: "This man comes from a military family. My father was a captain in Ma Xiang's army. He died in battle in his early years without merit. But a long time ago,
My mother also passed away due to illness, and I am the only one left in the family to depend on me..."
Those words are doubtless sensible enough.
The end of the plot is always whether the opponent will enter the game, but whether the game will not be discovered——
But that day, something abnormal happened.
Lingnan and Shuofang Jiedushi Chucai died tragically in the capital, and Qishang was experiencing turmoil - this attack was meant to attack a small situation.
After dissecting it layer by layer, it even seems like a conspiracy. No matter what the choice is, the potential for a pincer attack has been established. If you pay attention to one thing, you will lose the other.
That is not in line with the saint's consistent temperament and style.
On top of this, no matter what choice you make, it seems that you will fall into a trap. So, can you only stick to the capital? But is that just another way of sitting back and waiting for death?
I don't know whether the Holy Emperor got up for the first time or stayed up all night. She was dressed in the emperor's regular clothes. Under the lamp, it can be seen that her gray hair is still neatly combed. Her whole body is as majestic as usual, but her figure has become two points thinner due to illness.
.
In this way, the letter that "just happened at the right time" came with the intention of attacking the emperor's heart.
"King Rong went to the palace all night for this matter. He worked really hard." Emperor Shengce did not hesitate to mention the content of the letter, but asked Fan Yangjun fiercely: "In King Rong's opinion, how did Fan Yang find out?
Those secrets you learned?”
In this case, one may ask, since Li Yin has formed a flanking attack on the capital, what is the significance of using Fan Yang's letter to set up a trap this time?
I am also an insider to the fact that Jiangdu’s secret edict has been tampered with...
It’s not like Ding Chenjun has never thought about those issues.
The real "accident" happened long ago where Ma Wan saw it.
"Before, when Ma Xingzhou reached the age of joining the army, he inherited his father's old ambition and joined Ma Xiang's army. It was about eleven or fourteen years later, and it was in this year that my elder sister was said to be getting married.
I stayed with the people from Lixiang and never came back to Maxiang again."
"I sent people to investigate Ding Chenjun's sister's husband's family, and found something." The Holy Book Emperor said: "I thought that maybe the husband's family was famous for being poor, and the relevant person was already alive, but now I see
Look up..."
That was the answer Ding Chenjun came up with before thinking about it again and again.
"Of course I want it." The Holy Emperor said with a warm smile: "So that little agreement is not just a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."
After saying that, Ding Chenjun knelt down and said, "I am honored by the emperor, and I have sworn to pledge myself to the country and to be loyal to your majesty to the death. This ambition has never wavered one day -"
"I have to believe it."
The most clever trap in this world often uses truth as bait to lure people deeper into the trap.
Of course, that is not my only option to win, but why not take a shortcut that is impossible to achieve by just borrowing a letter?
The Holy Emperor only had one confidant and eunuch who was at his side.
"Ding Chen went to the palace late at night to deliver a message, and he was waiting for me to tell you his heart. He has been thinking about it with all his heart. If I continue to doubt King Rong, how can I be worthy of being the king?"
Fan Yangjun's spine was covered with hot sweat.
It doesn't matter whether it is Ma Xingzhou or Shannan West Road and Qianzhong Road who invades the capital. As long as the capital is defeated, Li Yin will drive into the capital with great intentions and perform the so-called presiding over the small situation.
When the sky becomes brighter, the rain stops.
"The Li Yin Mansion has been secretly trying to win people's hearts..." Fan Yangjun said almost heartily: "If something happens to Wan'er in Yizhou, the Li Yin Mansion and the Ma family will inevitably become enemies. On the contrary, if we stay and treat Wan'er well,
I have no chance to show my love to the Ma family. I can use Wan'er to get closer to the Ma family or use Wan'er's hand to do things."
The Holy Emperor stood beside the case, looked at the character "Ma Xingzhou" under the letter in his hand, and asked: "Prince Rong, do you think the letter about Ma Xingzhou is not very credible?"
At this point, I have clearly understood Li Yin's intentions.
The Holy Emperor has no answer in his mind: "I just want to let you know that I am a trapped beast, so that I can mess up my position..."
That answer made Fan Yangjun fall into deeper confusion.
At this moment, I said: "I think the reason why Ding Chen's mansion keeps Wan'er here is for no reason."
On the other hand, if His Majesty "sees through" this plan, judging from this that Li Yin's real purpose is to mobilize troops from the west, and then gathers troops for defense in the west, then the Luoyang direction in the east will be full again...
That kind of fetter may not backfire and turn into an enemy, but in the eyes of the saint, it seems to be naturally placed before other enemies.
"But, Ma Wan, I missed one thing." The Emperor of the Holy Book said: "When that letter left Yizhou, Ma Xiangjun had not yet been defeated, and Ma Xingzhou had not been seriously injured - Ma Wan could be so sure that I would be in a dilemma, but it was not the case.
Can be forgiven."
And Fan Yang gave a very clear clue - Ma Xingzhou, the leader of Ma Xiangjun, had a close correspondence with Li Xishang, and the relationship was unusual.
Just like the next few days, Cui Lang dragged his clan members out early, listened to music, ate wine, recited poems and composed poems in Luoyang City, and even invited a group of Luoyang children to join in the fun.
And in this situation, the slower you mess up, the slower you will lose.
