The good news of pregnancy suddenly diluted the gloom in the Yang family.
As long as there is blood inheritance, a family will have strong cohesion.
In order to prevent Princess Changle and others from being too sad, Wu Meiniang could only selectively reveal Yang Fan's current situation.
Although the girls of the Yang family temporarily put aside their worries, Yang Fan's blood letter shocked Guanzhong.
Who is Yang Fan?
Not only was he the emperor's son-in-law, but he was also the God of War who conquered Tubo... He didn't expect to be forced into such a situation.
The reason why this incident has such a huge impact is not only the incident itself, but also related to Yang Fan's past actions.
To the dandies in Chang'an City, Yang Fan was an enviable, jealous and hateful existence.
After all, this boy not only married two of the most favored princesses in the dynasty, but he also acted arrogantly.
Not only did he dare to punch the Duke and touch the courtiers, but he also refused to give face to the prince;
Although Yang Fan ignores the rules like most dudes, he has the capital.
In the eyes of North Korean and Chinese officials, Yang Fan has mixed reputations and reputations.
Some people think that he does not understand dignity and etiquette, which is actually a cancer in the officialdom;
Some people also say that he has a quick mind and an upright spirit... and is a breath of fresh air in the officialdom.
As for the people in Guanzhong, Yang Fan is like a god.
Not only did he find a way to prevent and control the smallpox plague, but he also invented an artifact that made farming easier for the people, which made countless people grateful.
And Junyangfang and Cargo Transshipment Center have fed countless poor people in Guanzhong!
No matter who you are, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be rewarded. It will be fair and just, and no one will be bullied.
A few days ago, I originally thought that Yang Fan was borrowing the opportunity to go to the south of the Yangtze River to make money, but as soon as he changed hands, he donated all the money to dredge the rivers and ditches in Guanzhong.
The people in Guanzhong all praised officials who did not care about their reputations but cared deeply about the welfare of the people.
Looking at Guanzhong, there are countless people who have received direct or indirect favors from the Yang Mansion.
Therefore, when the contents of Yang Fan's blood letter spread, the people in Guanzhong were not only worried but also filled with endless anger!
For a time, the whole Guanzhong was in an uproar.
In particular, the Jiangnan nobles sat silently and ignored Yang Fan's request for help, and the people in Guanzhong complained even more, and public opinion arose.
When some Jiangnan officials went to court on Zhuque Street, they had to strengthen their protection for fear of being caught and beaten up by the people in Guanzhong.
And those Jiangnan gentry officials who were not involved in this incident and were innocently implicated were even more jealous of those who provoked it.
…
In the Taiji Hall, civil and military officials once again discussed how to deal with the chaos in Jiangnan.
This time is completely different from before.
Last time, the Jiangnan gentry officials were still united and stayed together for warmth.
However, in the past two days, due to the public outcry, Jiangnan gentry officials blamed each other, fearing that this matter would affect their own families.
Looking at the Jiangnan gentry officials who kept pushing the envelope,
, This made His Majesty Li Er very sad.
Over the years, I have tried every means to continuously divide the relationship between Jiangnan nobles, but with little success.
But he didn't expect that Yang Fan would suddenly create a gap between these people.
If Yang Fan’s blood letter initially made His Majesty Li Er shocked, angry, and regretful...
After savoring it carefully, Li Er no longer had the worries he had before.
For Li Er, who is extremely politically sensitive, he had already vaguely guessed Yang Fan's purpose of doing this.
Although it is true that Yang Fan was besieged by the Shanyue rebels, he was definitely not at the end of his rope.
After all, if the blood book can be brought out, Yang Fan will have a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er sighed involuntarily.
I never thought that one day I would be used as a swordsman.
His Majesty Li Er did not blame Yang Fan for his small tricks, but was slightly pleased.
Because Li Er knew how powerful these Jiangnan nobles were.
Without some tricks, it would be impossible for Yang Fan to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, let alone have the opportunity to flex his muscles in Jiangnan.
Looking at the emperor who was watching coldly and saying nothing, Changsun Wuji stopped the quarrel among the Jiangnan noble officials.
Raising his eyelids, Changsun Wuji asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, calculating the time, Duke Yi and Duke of Song should have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Although no report has been delivered yet, given Duke Yi's influence in the army and his
With Song Guogong's influence in Jiangnan, I think he will soon recruit all the troops to rescue Wannian County Duke."
"As long as our troops from the Tang Dynasty are dispatched, the Shanyue rebels will definitely fall apart, and the crisis of the Wannian County Duke can be easily solved. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."
Although these words seemed to be condoning the emperor, if you look at them carefully, they did not mean to test Yang Fan's current situation.
After all, Qin Qiong and Xiao Yu have been walking for three days and should have arrived in Jiangnan long ago.
If you use 800 miles to report urgently, the situation over there should have been reported.
His Majesty Li Er has not replied yet. Cheng Yaojin
Then he snorted and said coldly: "The Shanyue rebels are just a mob. The most important thing now is to rescue the prince-in-law and find out how the Shanyue rebels evaded the defense lines patrolled by state and county soldiers."
"In addition, it is unforgivable why the officials of the Jiangnan state governments turned a blind eye to the consort's request for help."
"I still suggest that the Guanzhong army should be sent south immediately to escort all these lawless people back to Beijing!"
Changsun Wuji smiled lightly: "The general is too impatient. There is no need to make premature conclusions before the matter is investigated clearly."
"It would be too harsh to place all the blame on the officials of Jiangnan states. If we rush to send troops south, it will be even more unkind to His Majesty. We should be cautious."
"As for Wannian County Lord being trapped in a tight siege, no one wants to see it, and no one can predict it..."
"Besides, there are many rebels in Shanyue. If the states and counties rush to rescue them, it will inevitably lead to an empty county government. If Shanyue takes advantage of the situation and invades, wouldn't life be ruined and the people unable to survive?"
"In my opinion, it is reasonable for states and counties not to dare to send troops for rescue. Even those who have different intentions are extremely rare."
"You...you can say this, how shameless!"
Cheng Yaojin was so angry at Changsun Wuji's words that he almost ran away on the spot.
If someone hadn't held him back, Changsun Wuji would have been beaten violently.
The officials present were also surprised.
But a fight at the level of Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin is not something ordinary people can participate in.
So everyone closed their mouths and fell silent.
But I was very strange in my heart. Is Changsun Wuji trying to shirk the blame for those Jiangnan nobles?
Facing the mountains and crossing the border, he sat idly by and did nothing. Facing the current emperor's consort being trapped in a tight siege, he did nothing to save her...
Such a bad act actually said - "The matter has not yet been decided, and rashly sending troops south is contrary to His Majesty's benevolence." "It is a last resort for states and counties not to dare to send troops..."
To use such words to prevaricate is really sophistry and simply shameless!
It's just that everyone can't understand...
As the leader of the Guanlong family, why should the eldest son Wuji speak for the Jiangnan nobles?
In the past, as long as the two sides had the opportunity to add insult to injury, wouldn't they end up doing it to their death?
His Majesty Li Er sat firmly on the high platform with a calm expression, as if he was not angry because Changsun Wuji was excusing the Jiangnan nobles.
After patrolling coldly for a week, he said: "Since all the ministers have expressed their opinions, I will also say a few words... The states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River just sit back and watch the important officials of the imperial court besieged without rescuing them. It is simply a coward's ambition. This matter must be thoroughly investigated.
in the end."
"As soon as Wannian County Duke arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Shanyue rebelled at this time. Instead of attacking the rich prefectures and counties, he immediately besieged Yuntai Mountain. The purpose was obviously to kill the prince-in-law. There must be someone behind this move.
people."
"In addition, the Sangoe rebels were able to bypass many defense lines. It is simply unrealistic without the cooperation of some Jiangnan officials."
"This series of things is full of mystery and there are many unreasonable things. If you say that it has nothing to do with the Jiangnan nobles, I won't believe it."
"As for whether to send the Guanzhong Army south now, I will make adjustments according to the situation. However, the Guanzhong Army and the food and grass supplies must be prepared at all times. Once the situation in Jiangnan is irreversible, the imperial court will definitely send its troops south..."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's old face turned red and white, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
Li Er's words can be described as sharp words, directly pointing out that the corruption chaos in Jiangnan is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
No matter who wants to exonerate the Jiangnan nobles, they must bear the consequences of the change in circumstances.
In other words, if the Jiangnan nobles really have the ambition to rule by dividing the territory, and you, Changsun Wuji, are vigorously raising flags and agitating for the Jiangnan nobles to be exonerated at this time, are you trying to buy enough time for the Jiangnan nobles?
Although this remark did not specify what was wrong with Changsun Wuji, it was a naked slap in the face and did not give Changsun Wuji any face at all.
Nowadays, no one can say whether the chaos in Jiangnan can be controlled.
Once the situation becomes out of control as the emperor said, someone will have to take responsibility!
Even Changsun Wuji would not dare to bear such consequences!
Some time ago, a rebellious Changsun Chong appeared in the Changsun family.
Although Li Er did not pursue the matter to the end, the reputation of the Changsun family has gradually declined.
Now your eldest son, Sun Wuji, has come out to speak for the Jiangnan nobles again. What is this?
Of course, Li Er's words were also aimed at Changsun Wuji.
The meaning is obvious.
Nowadays, public opinion in Guanzhong is spreading. If the Jiangnan nobles do not give an explanation, the matter will not be suppressed.
Now we must find some people to take the blame. You, Changsun Wuji, must not get involved in this matter at will.
As an old fox in the court, Changsun Wuji could certainly hear the implication of Li Er's words.
His heart is miserable!
Changsun Chong just sent a letter asking him to buy some time for the Jiangnan nobles so that Yang Fan's blood can be spilled in Jiangnan.
Out of hatred for Yang Fan and doting on his son Changsun Chong, he suddenly spoke out in a hot-headed way to defend the Jiangnan gentry.
But he didn't expect that His Majesty Li Er would be so disrespectful and angry.
You know, if His Majesty Li Er is furious, it won't be a big deal.
Now he said these words calmly, obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with himself.
Changsun Wuji was about to say a few words of defense for himself when a servant came from outside the palace to report: "Your Majesty, there are another eight hundred miles south of the Yangtze River to rush to deliver the report."
Another urgent report from eight hundred miles away?
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel a little tight in his heart, his hands under his sleeves and robes couldn't help but clenched tightly, and there was faint sweat oozing out from his whole body.
In fact, Changsun Wuji was very conflicted at this time and didn't know what kind of information he wanted to get.
If Yang Fan is fine, his eldest grandson Wuji will definitely have trouble sleeping, after all, his son is besieging Yang Fan.
Once Yang Fan dies, his eldest grandson Wuji will undeniably be happy for a while, but it is definitely not the result he wants to see.
The defeat of Yang Fan showed that the goal of the Jiangnan gentry had been achieved.
If His Majesty Li Er does not make up his mind to conquer the Southern gentry, then the Jiangnan gentry will have even greater say in the court in the future.
This will not only affect the stability of the court, but also affect the development of the Guanlong family.
The entire court is like a cake, and the cake is only so big. If the Jiangnan nobles eat one more bite, others will eat less.
Maybe Changsun Wuji himself couldn’t understand why he was so entangled in his heart!
As for His Majesty Li Er, his face darkened and he shouted: "Send it up!"
However, he also took in Changsun Wuji's complicated expression and thought to himself.
Could it be that Changsun Wuji was really involved in this matter?
The talented and trustworthy people around me are none other than Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji...these people who have fought all the way.
Is it because he sent Changsun Chong to Lingnan, causing Changsun Chong to be kidnapped on the way, and his life and death are unknown, so he feels resentful?
In the midst of his thoughts, the chamberlain came to His Majesty Li Er's side and presented the sealed report with both hands.
Li Er opened the seal and took out the letter paper.
Changsun Wuji stared closely at the memorial in His Majesty Li Er's hand. When his eyes touched a piece of white cloth stained with blood, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Another bloody letter...
In his opinion, if the previous blood letter was a plea for help and a clear will, then this blood letter must be a final letter.
Writing a final letter on the battlefield, you don't have to guess to know that it is not a good thing.
After reading the memorial, His Majesty Li Er's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he immediately picked up the blood book.
"The humble minister was favored by God and was appointed as the Governor of the South of the Yangtze River at a young age. This is indeed a great gift from God. This time he led the people from Guanzhong to the south, which coincided with the rebellion of Shanyue, causing many Guanzhong disciples to fall into a tight siege with a certain person."
"I have sent many letters to the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River for help, but no word has been heard. It seems that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has been rotten for a long time."
"As the chief governor of the imperial court, I have the responsibility to protect the land and bring peace to the people. This time I was besieged. Although I had the power to break out of the siege on my own, I couldn't bear to live alone and let the fellow Guanzhong disciples die in a foreign country."
"In order to strengthen our army's power, Wei Chen decided to 'never abandon, never give up...' and personally led his subordinates to break out of the encirclement in three days."
"If you are lucky enough to lead everyone to escape, you will definitely fulfill your mission and stabilize Jiangnan. If unfortunately you die, you will be loyal to the court... Yang Fan's last chapter!"
The meaning of this blood letter is:
I, Yang Fan, was originally capable of breaking out of the encirclement and escaping alone, but the disciples from Guanzhong who followed me to the south of the Yangtze River could not sit idly by.
Never give up or give up is my philosophy.
Facing several times the number of enemies, although I know that my chances of survival are low, I would rather die than leave behind my brothers who are going with us!
This bloody letter is the final letter.
His Majesty Li Er is holding a bloody book, but a piece of white cloth stained with blood seems to weigh more than a thousand catties!
I originally thought that Yang Fan was playing tricks, but now His Majesty Li Er is a little unsure.
Don’t abandon, don’t give up, express your love for Zepao Yi vividly on the battlefield!
What kind of concept is this, and what kind of feeling is it?
Who could shout such words without having the courage to remain calm in the face of life and death, honor and disgrace?
At this time, His Majesty Li Er's face turned red, he stood up slowly, gritted his teeth and said: "The rebels in Shanyue will be punished, and the powerful people in Jiangnan have misled me. If Yang Fan really dies in Jiangnan, I swear here to wash Shanyue with blood."
, Sweep the south of the Yangtze River to appease the souls of loyal ministers!"
Yang Fan’s words: ‘Don’t abandon, don’t give up!’
This completely made His Majesty Li Er's blood boil, and at the same time he was filled with regret.
Those who care about the overall situation should go to hell!
If Yang Fan is really dead, then the blood of the Shanyue and Jiangnan wealthy families will be used to commemorate his death.
His Majesty Li Er's straightforward words immediately caused the civil and military officials in the court to panic.
Everyone couldn't help but guess, is Yang Fan dead?
All the officials from the Jiangnan gentry were trembling all over.
Cheng Yao's golden eyes were red and he asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Wannian County Duke..."
He could no longer say anything else, but his eyes were fixed on the "blood book" in His Majesty Li Er's hand.
Looking at everyone's expressions and seeing Cheng Yaojin's murderous eyes, His Majesty Li Er finally came to his senses and quickly said with relief: "Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope..."
Having said this, His Majesty Li Er felt a little unsure.
Is there really a glimmer of hope?
Facing dozens of times more enemies, do you really have a chance?
Otherwise, why write a final book?
Not knowing how to explain it, Li Er could only pass the blood letter in his hand around.
After reading the contents of the blood book, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but condense his eyes, and his heart was filled with jealousy and resentment.
This Yang Fan has been resisting for so long, but he is still able to lead the crowd to break out. It is simply unbelievable.
Compared with Yang Fan, his son is like heaven and earth!
They are both the best among the younger generation, so why is the gap so huge?
Of course, what made Changsun Wuji even more jealous was Yang Fan's methods.
Although it is very risky to break out with a bunch of dandies from Guanzhong.
But once it succeeds, Yang Fan will have his own team.
You must know that these dandy boys from Guanzhong originally followed Yang Fan to the south of the Yangtze River just to gain credit.
But after this difficulty, these people will definitely feel grateful and devoted to Yang Fan.
Don't underestimate these dandy boys in Guanzhong.
Although these people belong to the second generation who cannot inherit the title, who can underestimate the power behind these people?
I didn't see that many officials in the DPRK and China were full of praise for Yang Fan's behavior.
Do not abandon, do not give up!
It was just a simple sentence, but it made these people burst into tears of gratitude.
The Guanzhong disciples who accompanied Yang Fan to the south of the Yangtze River were their sons!
His Majesty Li Er vented his anger and kept his face gloomy. After everyone read the blood letter, he said: "Yang Fan is not afraid of powerful enemies and cherishes his robe. It is really an act of loyalty. Since Yang Fan decided to lead everyone to break out of the encirclement,
, then we can’t do nothing.”
"Immediately send an urgent order of 800 miles to Duke Yi Guo Qin Qiong. No matter how many soldiers are recruited, he must rush to Yuntai Mountain to meet him!"
"In addition, public sentiment is spreading in Guanzhong, and the people are all complaining about Yang Fan. Chang'an City needs to be on guard to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation to cause chaos."
Order after order came out of the emperor's mouth, and all the officials obeyed.
It can be said that during the Zhenguan Dynasty, there had never been such a unified voice in the court.
