Ren Qingshu's transfer envoy's palace temporarily served as a handsome hall. Zhe Ziyu sat quietly on the main seat and looked at the civil and military officials filing in. She was still dressed in black clothes, with skin as white as snow and pale and solemn cheeks.
There was an indescribable haggardness on his face, but his eyes were shining brightly, like a wounded panther, ready to jump up and hurt someone at any time.
There was silence in the hall, except for the sound of footsteps. Soon, even the footsteps disappeared. All the important civil and military officials from Fuzhou had arrived and sat on both sides. They all looked solemn. The Zhe family had reached a critical moment of life and death.
, their wealth, lives, and career prospects have reached the most critical stage, and everyone is feeling uneasy, but the appearance of Zhe Ziyu has brought them a glimmer of hope.
No matter whether it was a powerful figure with a high status coming in, or a gentry and celebrity from Fuzhou who only had a false official title walking into the lobby, Zhe Ziyu just sat according to the case and remained motionless, as if she had more airs than her brother. These officials all knew that the five
The young master was injured on his leg, so no one showed any displeasure. What's more, at this time, their hearts were already focused on the important matter of Fuzhou's future.
After Zhuyun lured away the Tibetan troops that day, the number of people guarding Xiao Pass was greatly reduced. However, Zhe Ziyu did not break through immediately. She suddenly thought that the enemy was not a fool. If Zhuyun had just appeared and lured away the large group of troops, she would have broken through immediately.
and
If it comes out, the Tubo people may not realize that this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, this national jade seal is an irresistible treasure in the eyes of powerful careerists. If they break through in a hurry, I am afraid Zhuyun's adventure will be ruined.
All in vain.
Zhe Ziyu lurked patiently, relying on a bag of drinking water and stored dried meat, and persisted until the early morning of the next day. He chose another pass, and then took advantage of the mist in the forest to break through quietly in the early morning.
In this way, she still alerted the defenders, who sent a team of archers to pursue her in the dense forest.
Confronted with the archers, his personal martial arts skills were not enough. Zhe Ziyu tried his best to kill several Tufan soldiers who were pursuing him. He walked through the mountains and forests for half a day and got rid of most of the pursuers. In the end, in order to avoid an arrow, he
He lost his footing and rolled down the mountain. Although he escaped the pursuit of his pursuers, he also broke one of his legs.
Zhe Ziyu had to look for the soldiers elsewhere, so he reluctantly corrected his leg bones, made sure branches were tied to the broken leg to prevent the leg bones from dislocating again, and made a pair of crutches. It took him a few days to walk out of the dense forest and touch the ground.
Went to a hunter in the mountains. Zhi Ziyu asked the hunter
When Jia asked about it, she found out that not far from the mountain was Xiabao Village. Xiabao Village was in Longyou, not in Hexi. In other words, when she got rid of the pursuers, she lost her way in the primeval forest. She did not
After crossing Duoling, we finally circled back to Longyou.
Fortunately, Zhuyun had successfully attracted Shang Boqian's full attention at this time. The pursuers blocked the front and intercepted them, and were led by Zhuyun all the way to the west. A roadblock was set up on the eastward road of Xiaoguan.
All the men and horses lying in wait had been withdrawn. However, Ziyu was still very cautious. She stayed out of the limelight at Orion's house for a few days. After finding out that the road into the city was very safe, she spent money to ask the Orion to hire a car to take him there.
She goes to town.
The Orion followed Zhu Yun's instructions and sent her directly to Tongyuan City, bypassing Xiabao Village. Because this Orion had never left a place hundreds of miles away from home, when he got here, he refused to continue no matter how much money Zhe Ziyu paid.
Moving forward, Zhe Ziyu was helpless
, I had no choice but to send him back and live in hiding in Tongyuan City first. A broken leg would not heal so quickly, but Ziyu was eager to return home and refused to stay here for a long time, so he tried every means to get in touch with the innkeeper.
Friendship, let him help think of a solution.
A few days later, the innkeeper heard that a merchant wanted to transport a batch of fur goods to the Central Plains. The merchant was a native of Tongyuan. He was from a wealthy family and was a righteous man. He was a serious businessman with a family and business, so he quickly told Zhezi.
Yu, Zhe Ziyu got in touch with the businessman through the innkeeper, pretended to be the innkeeper's niece, paid a sum of money, asked the businessman to take care of him, and went east with his caravan.
In this way, Zhe Ziyu followed the merchant group all the way eastward. When they arrived at Dinghu City, there was a Zhejia information station here, which was revealed to be a grocery store. Only then did Zhe Ziyu leave the group of merchants and go to Dinghu City.
Under the escort, he turned north and rushed to the nearest Fuzhou.
Before she reached Fuzhou, she heard the rumors that Chizhong rebelled and occupied Baihuawu. Various related legends were filled in the market, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false among the different opinions. Zhe Ziyu was shocked and angry. At this time, rumors were flying everywhere.
Zhe Ziyu didn't know if any of the soldiers under Fuzhou's rule were bribed by the imperial court, so he didn't dare to show his identity along the way, but hurried on and headed straight for Fugu.
Today, she finally came back at the critical moment where the Zhe family was going to decide.
Before formally convening all the important civil and military officials, Ren Qingshu had told Zhe Ziyu unreservedly the information he had, which naturally included the fact that Zhe Yuxun had gone crazy and once shouted that he would donate his prefecture to the imperial court and ask for help from the imperial court.
There are rumors about the sealing of King Lan. Shu, Tang, Han, Jing, Hu and other countries were pacified by the imperial court, and their kings only granted the title of a general and a marquis.
In the Song Dynasty, there was only one king with a different surname, and that was Qian Chu, the King of Wuyue. Qian Chu had always been very respectful to the Song Dynasty, and as the king of a country, he took the initiative to offer his land and surrender, so he was named King of Huaihai by Zhao Guangyi.
.Zhe Yuxun feudal leader
His territory was not as good as that of Wu Yue, his national power was not as powerful as Wu Yue's, and he was not a king at all. He had only nominally surrendered to the Song Dynasty. According to Zhao Kuangyin's inheritance from his father, he had always enjoyed greater autonomy as a military envoy.
Chen Hongjin from southern Fujian was in a similar situation to him, with similar power and position. He took the initiative to join the Song Dynasty, but he was only granted the title of Grand Master of Examination and Tongping Zhangshi. From the looks of it, he would not be awarded a title until the day when he retired from official service.
When the time comes, the most you can do is give him a duke, make him a prosperous official, and go home to retire.
That's it, how could Zhe Yuxun be so virtuous and want to be king? Therefore, the rumors said that he was crazy, so he made such crazy talk. The people in the prefecture did not believe this rumor, but after hearing about it, Zhe Ziyu
, but knew that his brother was conveying news to him and making arrangements for his funeral.
Zhe Yuxun is the master of the Zhe family, and it involves major issues concerning the future of the clan. Without the patriarch's stance, even his biological sister, Zhe Ziyu, cannot make the decision without authorization. Now after hearing his words, she has understood that his brother
In her mind, she was more confident about whether to stay or go in Fuzhou.
When everyone was here, Zhe Ziyu's face was as dark as water. He swept his eyes lightly and saw the changes in the expressions of the civil and military people in the hall. He said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the Zhe family has been living in the clouds for two hundred years.
Encountered today
, this is an unprecedented crisis in the two hundred years since I lost my family. The imperial court has been plotting against my prefecture for a long time, and now they have bribed Chi Zhong and hijacked my entire family in one fell swoop. They have found a reason to leave the army in a grand way..."
"Now, the imperial army is approaching the city. If the imperial court's treacherous plan is carried out, my Yunzhong Zhejia will certainly be removed from the world, and you will also disappear with the disappearance of my Zhejia and never be heard of again. However, although the Zhao Guan family holds Taishan hostage,
It’s a great opportunity to suppress the egg, but it’s a pity that I, Zhe Ziyu, am back, and my Zhe family is not a vulnerable egg. Zhe family will not collapse!”
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhe Ziyu for a moment, and Zhe Ziyu's tone became lowered: "You have followed my father and brother for many years, and you are all my uncles and brothers to Zhe Ziyu. Ziyu bows first and then fights. Today I would like to say something to all the elders.
It is clear that if you are an enemy of the imperial court, you can imagine the difficulties and dangers.
It is human nature to think about your own way out and not want to advance or retreat with my family. You can leave this mansion now, no matter whether you join the imperial court and serve as a slave or horse, or you abandon your post and go to your hometown to take charge of your country.
It doesn’t matter if Xiruan is a rich man who hides his name, he will not give up on Ziyu. But..."
Zhe Ziyu changed his tone and said in a cold voice: "If I let you go and you don't leave but stay, but are half-hearted and double-dealing, then if I find you again, don't blame me, Zhe Ziyu, for not remembering our past friendship!"
Wu Qiqi, the disciple of the court, raised his hands and said: "We are willing to follow the orders of the Fifth Young Master and advance and retreat together with the Zhe family!"
Zhe Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Okay! If that's the case, then I, Zhe Ziyu, will do my part! Everyone, the intention of the imperial court is very obvious, which is to annex my prefecture at all costs and by any means. Wang Jien transferred Amway
Army, Longde Army trapped Cheng Shixiong in Guangyuan
, and personally led the Ninghua Army, Jinning Army, Pingding Army, and Weisheng Army to attack our prefecture, and their follow-up troops will still be endless. Although Li Pishou of Suizhou has not made any changes for the time being, the court will not use them.
We will not miss this opportunity. This is also a nail buried in our hearts.
Our Zhejia's Fuzhou defense line was caught off guard and lost several important passes. It was now riddled with holes and undefendable. Our only ally, General Yang Hao, was on the westward expedition again. If we want him to return,
Help, that is water far away cannot rescue thirsty people close by,
Therefore, I plan to take the following measures to deal with the situation: First of all: Immediately disclose to the whole world the ugly act of the imperial court annexing our prefecture. The imperial court is powerful, so this move will not be of much help, but for the imperial court, it is not worth the gain.
!”
When Ren Qingshu heard this, he couldn't help but interjected: "If the Fifth Young Master openly breaks up with the imperial court, I'm afraid... the imperial court will become even more unscrupulous. In the opinion of my subordinates, we might as well disclose that the Fifth Young Master has controlled the entire prefecture.
We have received the news and tried our best to quell the Baihuawu Chizhong Rebellion as quickly as possible. The imperial court used it as a pretense to invite troops to quell the rebellion. Since the Fuzhou Rebellion has been put down, what excuse does the imperial court have to send troops."
Immediately, someone nodded and responded.
Zhe Ziyu sneered and said: "Uncle Ren, Zhao Guangyi's shameful knife has been taken out. How can he put it in the sheath without being stained with human blood? He has coveted this Fuzhou for a long time, and now he has this piece of fat meat in his mouth. Do you think he is willing to do it easily?"
Withdraw troops? My family members are all under his control, what kind of excuse does he want to make but he can't find it? How this drama is going to be played is not the final decision of the imperial court."
She faced everyone again and said in a deep voice: "No matter what we do now, the imperial court will find a reason to continue marching into Fuzhou. As for our Fuzhou army, the imperial court holds my brother's letter as proof and holds my nephew hostage."
My son is a hostage. If at this time we are still worried, secretive, and don't make a public appearance immediately,
The imperial court's scandalous behavior, the imperial court confusing right and wrong, referring to deer as horses, and using various tricks, how will the soldiers in our prefecture distinguish between the enemy and ourselves? At this time when the sword is on the neck and the situation is imminent, we do not directly point out the fault of the imperial court. We have a clear banner and the soldiers under our command
Is that going to be a war or not? If there is a war, in what name will we fight against the imperial court?"
Ren Qingshu frowned and nodded solemnly.
Zhe Ziyu added: "Secondly, the imperial court planned to move later, but we have lost the opportunity. Baihuawu, the core of Fuzhou, is now in the hands of Chizhong, and the outer defense line of Fuzhou is unknown to all the soldiers.
Fighters have been lost, several important passes have been lost, and the entire defense line is full of loopholes. The passes, beacon tunnels, and forts have been cut off from each other. In this case, the frontline troops fighting on their own can only be beaten one by one by the imperial troops.
Eat.
Therefore, I decided to order Cheng Shixiong to abandon Guangyuan and immediately break out of the siege and evacuate to Fuzhou before the imperial reinforcements arrived. Otherwise, Guangyuan would be left alone. Once the imperial reinforcements arrived, Guangyuan would surely fall. In addition,
, the passes, beacon tunnels, and fortresses on the outermost line of Fuzhou have been cut apart by the imperial troops and horses. The soldiers and horses fighting each other must also quickly shrink to build a second line of defense around Fugu.
Third, concentrate the troops on the inside and do all they can to deal with Chi Zhong’s troops in Baihuawu, stabilize the interior, and not give the court any excuses. Fourth, immediately get in touch with Yang Shuai who is on an expedition to the Western Regions. The imperial court’s westward march is no longer a matter for our prefecture.
, Zheyang and his family share weal and woe, share losses and share prosperity, so for this big political strategy, Yang Shuai still needs to come up with a charter.
Fifth, immediately strengthen contact with Linzhou Yang Jiye. I said that the scandal of the imperial court should be made public. This is also one of the reasons. If we are still worried, secretive, and the truth is not made public, the Lin government will have no reason to come to aid. This is exactly right.
After the imperial court was divided and disintegrated, and each of the treacherous plots was defeated, the two states of Linfu were geographically interdependent. If one of them was lost, the door would be wide open and could no longer be defended. Therefore, the two states must work together to defend against powerful enemies.
.sixth……"
Zhe Ziyu was talking eloquently, and it was obvious that she had already thought deeply about how to deal with the situation. After she finished explaining her plan, she asked the crowd loudly: "This is Ziyu's inner plan. What are your arrangements for me?"
Do you have any comments or suggestions?”
The commander of the capital, Ma Zongqiang, took a step forward and said: "Fifth Young Master, I have one more doubt. By openly opposing the imperial court, we are already rebelling. In this case, Commander Zhe is still in the hands of the imperial court, and their safety is in danger..."
what to do?"
An evil look appeared between Zhe Ziyu's brows, and he sneered: "My Zhe family is safe..." Humph, the more we scold and beat the court, the safer my Zhe family will be, understand.
What?"
Ma Zongqiang was astonished, Zhe Ziyu put his hands on the case, and stood up slowly. All the civil and military officials in the hall stood up in unison. Zhe Ziyu glanced downwards, his beautiful eyes were as murderous as Shura's, and he shouted in a shrill voice: "Finally,
, let me correct what Commander Ma said: From now on, we are not rebelling together, but actually rebelling!"
