Chapter 1586 Lin Ruhai: Which way is my son-in-law going?
Palace Garden, Wenhua Palace
At this moment, the storm could be heard pouring down outside the palace, crackling on the stone steps in front of the palace, making a rather rhythmic sound.
Thousands of threads, the rain hangs like a curtain, looking from a distance, the palaces and pavilions are hazy.
At this moment, this scene of wind, rain and thunder was undoubtedly deeply engraved in the hearts of the ministers in the palace and could not be forgotten for a long time.
What he did just now can be described as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!
It was the head of a minister of the Han Dynasty, but he was beheaded by an owl. It was really shocking.
Lin Ruhai's face was a little gloomy. He stared at this scene and looked at the young man in the python suit. His eyes flickered, but he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.
My son-in-law, which road are you going to take?
Powerful ministers are still... reckless.
But the Han family has ruled the world for hundreds of years, and the people of the world have their hearts turned toward the Han. How can they steal it?
The other civil servants in the palace also looked at the young man in python suit with complicated thoughts. For a moment, the entire Wenhua Palace seemed to be enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
After all, it was Zhen Qing who broke the silence. She raised her emerald eyebrows, stared at the boy in the python suit, and asked: "King Wei, what's going on? What's going on with this head?"
Jia Heng said: "To report to the Queen Mother, Gao Zhongping wanted to flee to Bashu. He contacted Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, Chen Wei and other rebels to raise flags in Sichuan and other places to rebel against the imperial court. The humble ministers are thinking of the overall situation.
, we can only kill Gao Zhongping on the spot first, so as not to let the tiger return to the mountain and endanger the country."
The ministers in the palace raised their eyes, staring closely at the young man in python suit with a gloomy and inexplicable expression on his face, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.
At this moment, Qu Lang picked up the wooden brocade box in his hands and handed it to the Jinyi palace guard standing aside with a stern look on his face as he stood silently.
Li Zan's eyes were piercing under his thick eyebrows, and he said in a deep voice: "King Wei, Gao Zhongping is the second minister of the cabinet. Is it too reckless to kill a cabinet minister without interruption?"
Under Jia Heng's sword-shaped brows, there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his cold and shining eyes, and he whispered: "Gao Zhongping, when the King revealed his plan, he was still stubborn and stubborn.
The soldiers fought back, so I had no choice but to execute him on the spot!"
Zhen Qing's willow eyebrows were as curved as crescent moons, and her sparkling phoenix eyes were as moist as water. She said softly: "King Wei, Gao Zhongping colluded with Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, and Chen Wei to bring trouble to the imperial court. The reverse is obvious. The Aijia dismissed him.
The descendants of the Gao family who held positions of title and served in Sichuan and other places were also dismissed."
As he said that, he looked at Li Zan aside and said in a clear voice: "Mr. Li Ge, please draw up the decree."
At this moment, Li Zan couldn't help but sigh, as if waking up from a dream, he cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
Things are about to change for this big man.
At this moment, the Han ministers in the palace were also infected by King Wei's murderous aura, and most of them had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Zhen Qing turned her clear eyes to the young man in python suit and said in a deep voice: "King Wei, I ask you, how long will it take to wipe out the rebellion in Shuzhong?"
Now that Gao Zhongping has rectified the law on the spot, he should be able to send troops into Shuzhong.
Jia Heng turned to look at Zhen Qing, cupped his hands and said: "The Queen Mother, I have been urging the Beijing camp to march into Shu in the past two days."
Zhen Qing said: "King Wei, Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, Chen Wei and others are plotting rebellion outside, so the safety of our country will be left to you."
A look of justice appeared on Jia Heng's face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to repay the Han Dynasty and the country!"
At this moment, Li Zan was in a daze, and his mind was still immersed in the head just now.
Without him, the impact would be too powerful.
Not long ago, I was still serving as a minister in the same palace, but just a few days later, my head was already in a different place.
Zhen Qing Cuili raised her slender eyebrows, her clear phoenix eyes were as bright as water, and warned: "King Wei, the rebellion in Shu must be put down as soon as possible and cannot be delayed for a long time. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War should also be fully prepared for food, fodder and weapons.
."
Now that Gao Zhongping is dead, the remaining soldiers and generals should not be his opponents.
Jia Heng's eyes were piercing and he raised his hands in response.
The officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War also said yes.
Zhen Qing said: "If there is nothing else to do, let's get over it. Just be busy when you need to be busy."
"Yes, empress."
While Zhen Qing was speaking, she did not linger in the hall and headed outside.
A court meeting passed like this in the shock of the Han officials.
The deputy minister of the cabinet has been decapitated, Sichuan and other places may also raise armies, civil strife will break out in the Han Dynasty, and the country is in turmoil. Where should these officials in Beijing go?
At this moment, all the civil servants in the palace were in a daze and worried.
Jia Heng also turned around and left the hall at this moment, but just as he reached the eaves of the corridor, he heard a female official coming around beside the beams and pillars and said: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother has summoned His Highness to come over and give you some instructions."
Jia Heng looked slightly startled, nodded, and followed the female officer towards the palace.
At this moment, all the ministers in the palace, such as Li Zan, Qi Kun and others, were sorting out their chaotic emotions and returned to their respective mansions.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
The smoke cage in the hall was burning with curls of green smoke, and the aroma suddenly floated throughout the hall.
Zhen Qing walked into the Phoenix Carved Warm Pavilion, sat down on a low stool covered with a mattress, and was drinking fragrant tea with great enthusiasm.
At this moment, the female official entered the palace and reported to Zhen Qing: "Your Majesty, King Wei is here."
Zhen Qing's plump eyebrows were as curved as willow leaves and she said: "Xuan."
While he was talking, he saw the young man in python suit walking into the Nuan Pavilion.
Under Zhen Qing's slender brows, her charming eyes stared closely at the young man in the python suit, and asked softly: "After Gao Zhongping wins, what are your recent plans?"
Jia Heng said coldly: "Send troops and horses to march into the center of Shu. As for the northwest, there are already troops and horses stationed there, but a batch of Hongyi cannons need to be sent to Xining to support the army."
Zhen Qing raised her emerald eyebrows, her beautiful eyes sparkling like water, and said, "You just send someone to take care of these things."
As he spoke, Liu eyebrows raised and he said, "Come here and talk."
Jia Heng didn't say much else. He walked closer and said softly: "What's wrong? I haven't thought about food or tea these days."
Zhen Qing seemed to snort and said in a low voice: "Your son is so annoying. In addition, Gao Zhongping's escape happened. How can I sleep at night?"
Jia Heng, who was on the other side of the room, reached out and gently held Zhen Qing's slender catkins, and said softly: "Now that Gao Zhongping is dead, the chaos in Shu has been half settled."
Zhen Qing said: "This time we must not cause chaos in the world again."
The beauty gently put her arms around the neck of the boy in the python suit, leaned into the beauty's ear, breathed the hot air, and said softly: "What did you say?"
Jia Heng gently pushed away the beauty's bright face and whispered: "I am now covered in dust and blood, so it won't be too late to get intimate with me later."
Zhen Qing was so good that she started to be intimate with her again.
Zhen Qing's green eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, and her delicate and straight Qiong nose couldn't help but snort, and whispered: "This time, won't you go with the capital?"
Jia Heng said: "This time, chaos has broken out in the local area. All the officials in the capital and the public are panicking. I will stay in the capital and put an end to the chaos. It won't be too late."
Zhen Qing frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said softly: "In the land of Bashu, it would be better if you personally lead the troops to conquer it. I am a little worried."
Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly: "The British Duke Xie Zaiyi is a famous general that is hard to find in the world. Now there is no Gao Zhongping in the land of Bashu, and the rest are mediocre people, so there is nothing to worry about."
, the British government's response is sufficient to deal with such a situation."
Zhen Qing raised her sword eyebrows that flew into her temples, her eyes were deep, and she whispered: "Then send more troops and put out the rebel rebellion as soon as possible."
As Jia Heng spoke, he stretched out a big hand like a cattail fan, gently put his arm around Zhen Qing's shoulder, and whispered: "Don't worry too much, this matter will be over soon."
Zhen Qing was obviously worried that her son's throne would be usurped, and then her position as empress dowager would be replaced by someone else.
It can be said that after a woman has a child, the focus of her life suddenly shifts to her child.
Under Zhen Qing's beautiful brows, her pair of narrow, clear phoenix eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered: "You brought Gao Zhongping's head to the palace today, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the civil servants of the government and the public, you will be horrified and regarded as
Such reckless people."
Jia Heng said loudly: "Now, it is also a helpless move. If we don't warn the civil and military ministers, I am afraid that if chaos breaks out in Shu, public opinion in Beijing will be uproar. The head of Gao Zhongping now tells these people that they must not
act rashly."
Zhen Qing's green eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon. She stared at the young man in the python suit and said softly: "That's exactly the reason."
As Jia Heng spoke, he stood up and walked quickly outside.
…
…
palace garden, entrance
Jia Heng came out of the palace gate, his face suddenly paused, he stared at Chen Xiao who was waiting at the door, and said: "Xiao Xiao."
Under Chen Xiao's green and curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a low voice: "After this incident, I'm afraid that your reputation as Taishi Jia will shock everyone in the government and the public."
Today, the head of a junior minister in the cabinet was decapitated in front of all the ministers in the palace. If this matter is made more jealous by those civil servants, it is very likely that the rumor will change.
It may be that King Wei is in the main hall, bullying the ministers and rebelling fiercely!
Jia Heng said warmly: "Never mind this, go back and take a good bath first, have a good sleep, then go back to the Jinyi Mansion Office to straighten out the Jinyi."
There was such a big mistake in Jinyi Mansion. Although Gao Zhongping was an unusual person and was alert in advance, it also exposed some problems in Jinyi Mansion.
Chen Xiao softly said "Hmm", and without saying anything else, there was an inexplicable look in his beautiful eyes.
While talking, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao got on their horses and headed towards Ningguo Mansion without saying a word.
After bathing, Jia Heng changed into a green shirt and robe and came to the study.
Gu Ruoqing walked forward quickly, looked at the young man in the python suit, and whispered: "You're back? Did Gao Zhongping just catch up with him?"
Jia Heng said: "We have caught up with him, and Gao Zhongping's head has been recovered."
Gu Ruoqing nodded the head of the beautiful dragonfly, and immediately looked surprised and asked: "Kill?"
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were bright, and he said softly: "You can't bring people back to Shenjing alive, otherwise Gao Zhongping still has a chance of survival."
This was the real reason why he asked Qu Lang to send Gao Zhongping on his way first. Gao Zhongping could never be allowed to return to Beijing alive, because the civil servants in both the government and the public would definitely come to rescue this minister who was a veteran of three dynasties.
Gu Ruoqing's fair and jade-skinned face showed a thoughtful expression.
Jia Heng said softly: "Ruoqing, help me squeeze your shoulders."
Gu Ruoqing's slender eyebrows were curved with emerald green, her clear eyes were warm, and she said, "Let Nan Ling pinch it for you."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, paused for a moment, and said softly: "Nan Ling? Didn't she go to serve Xiaoxiao?"
Gu Ruoqing's Chunshan eyebrows raised slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I'm at home now, isn't it? Xiaoxiao asked Nan Ling to wait for me."
Jia Heng said: "Okay."
And at this moment, from behind two hanging light yellow curtains, a graceful and beautiful girl suddenly flashed across.
The face that resembles a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River is full of low eyebrows, and those clear and bright eyes are full of longing and longing.
"I've met the prince." Nan Ling came forward and bowed to Jia Heng Ying Ying. Then, she suddenly walked around behind Jia Heng and helped Jia Heng massage her shoulders.
The girl's slender hands knead gently and slowly with moderate strength.
Jia Heng closed his eyes slightly, feeling an indescribable and heavy weariness coming over him, and fell asleep soon after.
The pursuit of Gao Zhongping along the way was like running for thousands of miles without stopping.
Gu Ruoqing looked at the young man in the python suit whose face was full of exhaustion, and felt a sense of pity in his heart.
…
…
Kansai Seven Guards, Hami Guards——
Above the majestic pale yellow acropolis with high earthen walls, a black and red satin flag with the Chinese character for "Han" can be seen fluttering constantly. Outside the fortress, where the sky is filled with yellow sand, it makes bursts of sounds and whines in the wind.
At this moment, Jin Xuan was dressed in black armor and stood on the top of the majestic city. With a pair of big hands as rough as cattail fans, he was stroking the butts of the city wall that were covered with marks from swords and arrows. He was looking at the desert filled with yellow sand in the sky.
The copper-skinned face seemed to show traces of thoughtfulness.
Since receiving the military report from Jia Heng from Shenjing City a month ago, Jin Xuan has led a large number of elite cavalry troops to consolidate the city defense of Hami Guard.
Jin Xuan put down a monocular telescope in his hand, turned to look at the general beside him, and asked: "Where are the imperial court's Hongyi artillery reinforcements?"
The general looked solemn and said: "It should be still on the road at this moment. The Hongyi cannon is very heavy and difficult to travel around, so it is not suitable to carry it."
Jin Xuan raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and there seemed to be a hint of thinking on his resolute and calm face, and he said: "Let the scouts explore the desert to investigate the situation of the Junggar tribe."
At this moment, the general raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he said: "General Jin, the scouts have been discharged."
Jin Xuan nodded, stroked the wall, and said: "The Junggars have come to avenge their shame this time, and their troops are strong. I, the Seven Guards General of Guanxi, must not be careless."
While the two were talking, they saw several horses galloping back and forth, coming from a distance, rolling up huge smoke and dust.
"It's a scout!"
The general beside Jin Xuan said.
Jin Xuan called out and said, "Let someone come in."
As he spoke, the heavy wooden lacquered city gate creaked, followed by the clatter of horse hooves. Immediately, several fast horses entered the city.
Immediately, a group of young scouts climbed up the majestic city wall along the city wall horse road, bowed to Jin Xuan, and said warmly: "General, the forward of the Junggar tribe has reached eighty miles away."
Hearing this, Jin Xuan was shocked and asked, "So fast?"
As he spoke, he ordered the general standing beside him and said softly: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
The general raised his hands in response, turned around neatly, and prepared to leave with his troops.
"Woooo..."
Along with the desolate and distant horn sound, a sad atmosphere silently escaped from the desert outside the Great Wall.
Jin Xuan said in a deep voice to the generals on the side: "Gather the generals and go into the city to discuss matters."
The general responded and followed Jin Xuan, striding into the city.
On the other side, in the vast desert eighty miles away from the city wall, you can see the mighty cavalry and the smoke and dust billowing up.
At this moment, Altay, the first general under the Khan of the Junggar tribe, held a rein in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the shadowy Acropolis in the distance, with a bloodthirsty and fierce light in his eyes.
This city originally buried his brother.
"In front of you is the Hami Guard, which used to be my city in Junggar." Altay said, with two thick eyebrows that looked like lying silkworms, with piercing eyes.
"Set up camp thirty miles away from the city." Altay raised his thick eyebrows and said loudly.
The general responded at this moment, then walked a few steps quickly, turned around and left.
Immediately, the soldiers and horses of the Junggar tribe began to dismount, found a nearby open land, and began to set up camp.
The entire Junggar tribe's soldiers and horses set up camp on the endless grassland.
Then, in the evening, 20,000 Junggar forward troops were stationed three miles away from the city, and the Hami guards were surrounded on three levels inside and outside.
In the city, Acropolis Yamen
Pine oil torches were set up on the walls of the yamen. The lights flickered, bright and crackling, dispersing the dim night under the dusk sky.
Jin Xuan summoned the generals, who were gathering in the military tent to discuss matters, and asked: "Have the military reports been delivered to General Pang?"
A general below, with a resolute face, said: "General Jin, we have sent a messenger over."
Jin Xuan's eyes were fierce and he said: "There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which is enough to defend the city. The top priority now is to count the weapons and provisions in the city and defend the city."
When the generals present heard this, they all said yes.
Then, Jin Xuan looked at the middle-aged man dressed as a civil servant and said: "Write a military report to the court and state the military situation."
