Lord of the House

Vol 12 Chapter 1: Jiangning Trend (1)

From the quarrying to the east, it is Chaotiandang and Jiangning City...

The sky is blue and the water is white, and it is as wide as the sky.

Hu Wenmuchuo stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the water surface of Chaotiandang, which was still thirty or forty miles wide after winter. It means "the Son of the Hajj"...

Hu Wenmu thought that he came to Jiangning, but it was in line with the sky.

Ships entering Jiangning from the east mostly enter Jiangning City via the Jinchuan River, while ships from Jiangning from the west enter Jiangning City via the Longzangpuxi River. .

On November 26, Hu Wenmu took a boat south from Fancheng. In the Han River, there were two or three thousand ships heading north from Jianglu and other places. Fu Qinghe, who was in charge of military preparations in the two lakes and in charge of Jiangxia government affairs, invited Hu Wenmu to stop in Jiangxia for one night to ask about Jinghu's governance and the selection of generals. It was not until December 1 that Hu Wenmu set off from Jiangxia, and it was not until December 4 that he entered Jiangning. At the same time, the Chuanjie fast horse that departed from Xiangyang also arrived in Jiangning at the same time.

Near the entrance of Longzangpu, there are many carriages and horses parked on the left bank. Hu Wenmu's young son Hu Xuekui, who is waiting with him, has sharp eyes and said with some doubts: "Are those officials who came out of the city to meet their father?"

Standing at the bow of the ship, Luo Wenhu picked up the monocular and looked at the left bank of Longzangpu. He turned around and said to Hu Wenmu, "Perhaps the officials of the Privy Council came out of the city to welcome Mr. Hu..."

Luo Wenhu joined Huaidong in Lishan, and since then he has been leading troops to participate in the Battle of Jingxiang. After the Battle of Tiesongxi, he was transferred to the Military Intelligence Division to fight with the army, and he never had time to settle down.

After Hu Wenmu gave up his military power, he brought his two sons to Shicheng alone to see Lin Fu. Hu Xuechang returned to Ezhou and served as the consulate. Hu Wenmu and his youngest son Hu Xuekui followed the army north. Returning to Jiangning - Putting these two things together, Lin Bie ordered Luo Wenhu to lead a team of forbidden army generals to **** Hu Wenmu to Jiangning, and let Luo Wenhu take his family to Jiangning to settle down when passing through Hanjin.

Hu Xuekui has not yet been crowned, and his temperament has not yet settled down. In the past few days, he has become familiar with Luo Wenhu and the accompanying generals of the forbidden battalion.

Luo Wenhu's bronze mirror was exchanged from the Ministry of Military Intelligence for his military exploits in the Battle of Miaotan Ridge. He asked him to see the world with a subtle change, and he felt more and more deeply that he used to sit in the well and watch the sky in the Suizhou army...

Hu Xuekui took the bronze sight glass from Luo Wenhu's hand, looked at the left bank of Longzangpu, and turned around and said to his father in confusion, "The leader is wearing purple clothes, maybe it's the Huaidong God of Wealth, Lord Lin Mengde Lin..."

Lin Xuwen, Huang Jinnian, Lin Mengde, Liu Shidu, Lin Tingli, Qin Chengzu, etc. are all qualified to wear purple clothes. Other Lin officials, although they have authority, are also qualified to wear purple. It is heavy, but the actual Pin Yi has not yet reached the qualification to wear purple clothes.

Lin Xuwen took the position of deputy prime minister and went out of the city to meet Hu Wenmu, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Hu Wenmu resigned from the positions of general manager of Jinghu camp, recruiting envoys, etc., but he also had the title of deputy privy envoy, and it was the most appropriate for the Privy Council to send people out of the city to meet him.

Hu Xuekui was younger than Luo Wenhu, but he was familiar with official affairs and was more proficient than Luo Wenhu, who was in his thirties, so he could guess that the official who greeted him on the shore might be Lin Mengde.

Luo Wenhu is really strange to think about the world. He used to be the leader of the bandits, and Hu Wenmu used to be the official of the frontier. When he goes to Jiangning, he will most likely replace Yu Xinyuan and enter the political affairs hall. - Jiangning City is an absolutely unfamiliar place to Luo Wenhu.

For a city with nearly one million mouths at one time, even after the Battle of Jiangning, Lin Fu had been trying his best to reduce the excessive grains in Jiangning City to ease the food pressure, but the mouths of Jiangning City remained at more than 500,000. This is an unimaginable scenario for Luo Wenhu in the past.

The people standing on the shore were indeed Lin Mengde and other officials of the Privy Council who accompanied Hu Wenmu out of the city. When the boat was near the shore, they boarded the boat to meet Hu Wenmu and said with a smile: "Hu Gong can be well, farewell to Fuliang. Remember my little brother's dream?"

Hu Wenmu had a very shallow impression of Lin Mengde, but after he gave up his military power and attached to Huaidong, he carefully analyzed his past life trajectory and looked for connections with the people of Huaidong.

In fact, Lin Mengde went to Fuliang with the cargo team to sell tea when he was young. At that time, Hu Wenmu was serving as Fuliang county magistrate, and there was a possibility that he had met. But Lin Mengde wasn't the teahouse clerk who went to the banquet with the shopkeeper of the Lin family at that time, so how could he keep Hu Wenmu in mind?

Fortunately, the status of the Lin family in the Yue Dynasty has always been high, including the previous two generations of the Lin family who also came out to Jiangning for high-ranking officials such as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, called Hu Wenmu, who remembered the old affairs with the children of the Lin family when he was in Fuliang, and thought that he might have seen Lin. dream.

Hu Wenmu's visit to Jiangning this time is the deputy candidate appointed by Lin Fu to replace Yu Xinyuan.

Lin Mengde was a member of the Privy Council. However, anyone who knows the history of Huaidong's rise should know that Lin Mengde is the head of Huaidong's literate officials. He is known as the Huaidong God of Wealth. It is equally important to Lin Xuwen, which means that his status will not be worse than that of Hu Wenmu.

"If it wasn't for an old friend, Wen Mu wouldn't dare to go out of the city to welcome Lin Gong!" Hu Wenmu saluted.

Although it was not very formal to welcome Hu Wenmu, after all, he could not win the limelight of Lin Fu, who would return to Jiangning, but Sun Jingxuan, Zhou Guangnan, Li Shutang, Lin Zonghai and others who were out of the city with Lin Meng were all core members of Huaidong and the Lin clan. , to show the importance and respect for Hu Wenmu; although Lin Xuwen did not go out of the city to meet him, he also said that he would hold a private banquet in the house tonight with Hu Wenmu.

When Lin Xuwen was an official in Yanjing, he had several banquets with Hu Wenmu, and the friendship was not deep, but he was still an old friend. Also because Lin Xuwen is the true direct descendant of the Lin family, Hu Wenmu has a deep impression on Lin Xuwen.

Unexpectedly, it was Lin Fu, a side child of the Lin clan, who made a great appearance, completely covering the two characters, Lin Xuwen and Lin Tingli.

Lin Mengde led the crowd out of the city to greet him. On the one hand, he called Hu Wenmu at ease. Knowing that the Huaidong family was under the rule of Lin Fu, he did not have any serious rejection, but there were still many sighs in his heart: if he hadn’t agreed to come forward and play Speaking of the opening of the government, officials of the Huaidong family would definitely not take him so seriously; and this time, Lin Mengde informally led the left-behind officials of the Huaidong family out of the city to greet him, and also told him to never be separated from Huaidong from now on. Open a relationship.

Maybe the time is not yet ripe to give Huaixi and Chuanshu an excuse to directly break away from Jiangning's control, but in Hu Wenmu's view, Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Lin Mengde and other Huaidong people seem to have been eagerly staring at the throne of the emperor. look.

Maybe Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Lin Mengde and others are not difficult to see through, but after more than ten days of contact, Hu Wenmu can't see where Lin Bie's aspirations are. To say that Lin Fu did not have the ambition to abolish Yuan and become an emperor, Hu Wenmu would not believe it, but he always felt that his ambition was not so ardent, and his ambition might not stop there.

****************

In the Palace of Chongzheng in Miyagi, almost everything that could be smashed was intact, the porcelain was broken, the tables and chairs were slanted, and Emperor Yongxing fell on the ground with a pale face, and there was still a morbid redness. He roared angrily, but his voice was like a broken bellows, unable to make a loud voice, as if an exhausted beast was whimpering before his death: "Hu Wenmu is a loyal and good son of Dayue, he must come to the capital to kill the traitor and help the emperor's house, Zhang Yan. , what is your intention to deceive me and say that he has colluded with the traitor Nizi? You lied that Cheng Yuqian, Zuo Chengmu, and Yu Xinyuan were ill and could not come to see me—I see that you are the traitor, and you are the traitor. Nizi colluded together..." He picked up a lotus foot placenta and smashed it at Zhang Yan who was kneeling in front of the hall.

Zhang Yan bowed his head and knelt in the back of the hall, tears streaming down his long lapel, his shoulders were hit by the lotus foot placenta, and the pain was like a broken bone. , Zuo and Yu San were both ill and unable to enter the palace, so the deputy envoy Hu went to Lin Xiang's mansion after entering the city..."

Watching Emperor Yongxing hysterically smash everything he could get to, Zhang Yan felt helpless and desperate.

Hu Wenmu entered the capital today, Lin Mengde and others went out of the city to meet them. The emperor summoned Cheng Yuqian, Zuo Chengmu, and Yu Xinyuan to the palace to discuss matters.

Zhang Yan went from house to house to invite him. Except for Zuo Chengmu who opened the door of the house and allowed him to enter the house, Cheng Manor, Yu Mansion, and Zhang Yan did not even ask for a cup of tea, let alone seeing Cheng Yuqian and Yu Xinyuan. Now—in the past, the power of the imperial family had not completely declined, and Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan and others also joined the imperial party because their own interests were opposed to Huaidong; and the backbone of the old imperial party had to figure out a way out at this time. , How sad and desperate is Zhang Yan's heart?

Kneeling on the cold brick floor for a long time, Zhang Yan was also dizzy and dizzy. He was about to collapse from exhaustion. "Dong dong dong", the sound of crutches rang in his ears, Zhang Yan looked sideways, but it was the empress dowager full of With silver silk on his temples, he asked Miao Shuo to help him with a cane.

"The dignified emperor of Da Yue is so useless, it really disappoints Aijia!" Liang's eyes were cloudy, and she could hardly see what was in front of her, but looking at her expression, she seemed to be staring straight at her with a pair of sharp eyes. Emperor Yongxing, who had lost his family's dog, scolded him sharply, "Chongguo Gong led his troops to annihilate more than 300,000 rebels and thieves, and recovered Jingxiang. He has the great merit of helping the society and ding the mountains and rivers, and Jiuxi gave him and Wang Jue rewarded him. , The county is the place; however, since Duke Chongguo, Cao Zi'ang, Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Ao Canghai, Zhou Tong, Zhao Qingshan, Ning Zechen, Zhao Hu, all have great achievements and great achievements. For political achievements, they will always reward the nobles of the city and the land. They have worked so hard, aren't they just trying to confer a wife and a son, a prince and a lord? You are all rewarded in the name of the emperor, and they can take it from themselves?"

This sentence seems to have caused Mrs. Liang to exhaust her last effort and coughed violently, almost coughing out her heart and lungs, and bent her back, like a candle in the wind, making it hard to imagine when she said those words just now. momentum.

Emperor Yongxing also seemed to be shocked by Liang's momentum, and he was stunned there.

Zhang Yan was also stunned there. He didn't expect that the queen mother would make such a dangerous plan——

When the land of Shiyi is the most honorable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With the power of Lin binding, it was only the land of the five counties before.

People in Huaidong supported Lin Fu as their emperor. After all, isn't that the wealth of a marquis of ten thousand households and a wife and son?

At this time, the extensive appreciation of the lords of the people of Huaidong is to weaken the internal motivation of Huaidong to abolish the Yuanyue and establish a new dynasty; and the extensive lands of the generals of the Huaidong family will also be able to effectively maintain for a long time. Their power and status further weaken their urgency to establish a new dynasty, and achieve the goal of preventing Lin Fu from becoming independent and preserving the imperial lineage of the Yuan clan...

But this is all wishful thinking.

Right now, for Huaidong and Lin Fu, it is still a bit hasty to directly abolish the imperial family, and the time is not yet ripe.

After all, the biggest name and righteousness in the world is not the difference between Han and Yi, but the continuation of the imperial tradition.

Once Lin Fu abolished the Yuan clan, he would lose the righteousness of the Son of Heaven to rule the world; Yuanyue ceased to exist, and Cao Yiqu would naturally gain the title of independence from Shu. Dong Yuan, the general manager of the westward camp and the envoy to Henan, after the imperial family was abolished by Huaidong and Yuanyue ceased to exist, he could bear the psychological burden of attaching Yanhu to the north in the name of Kuangfu's imperial family, and became an enemy of Huaidong.

But everything is about the lesser of two evils.

If the queen mother wanted to do this, if Lin Fu felt that delaying would be more harmful, she would probably take the risk of Cao Yiqu's independence and Dong Yuan's Beitou, and directly abolish the Yuan clan, establish a new dynasty, and divide Huaidong generals and ministers instead of calling them. Huaidong's generals went to accept Yuanyue's enfeoffment...

Of course, if there is no risk, Huaidong will be deployed step by step, and one day, Lin Fu will be asked to sit on the dragon chair of His Royal Highness.
