Lord of the House

Most of the people in Huaidong did not have a mansion in Jiangning, but when they first entered Jiangning, things happened one after another, and they could not allow everyone a chance to breathe. They only arranged a place for everyone to rest in the Chen Garden. The family members are not in a hurry to move to Jiangning for the time being, and Lin Fu only needs to occupy the small courtyard in Chenyuan Beiyuan as a living place.

The main force of the cavalry battalion led by Zhou Pu was still in Yijiang, and the positions of Chen Yuan and the guards inside and outside the imperial city were taken over by Zhao Hu led his troops. The defense of Jiangning City was temporarily taken over by Zhang Gou of the Changshan Army. , Dongyang government troops also temporarily camped in Hekou Town.

After paying respects to Chen Xiyan and old Guogong Zeng, it was already night. Lin Fu had no intention of entering the palace to meet the queen mother for the time being, and returned to Chenyuan Beiyuan for a rest. After a while, Song Jia came over to meet, and Lin Fu asked in surprise, "Why did you come so quickly?"

"This is an alley across from the palace city, and across the back wall of the palace city is the Chong'an Hall. Mr. Gao has not rested these days, and has already asked people to open a side door in the west of the Chong'an Hall, which is naturally convenient to move around. !" Song Jia said.

Lin Fu laughed dumbly, he just came to Jiangning, there are too many things to pay attention to, he couldn't notice such trivial matters for a while, only said: "It's better to keep this side door, it's better to use it sparingly, otherwise it won't be big if it spreads out. nice..."

"Also..." Song Jia replied.

Lin Fu looked up at Song Jia and said, "Should the body of She Feihu be brought to Jiangning?"

"Yeah!" Song Jia replied, hesitating to speak.

"Well, what do you want to say?" Lin Bie asked.

"Mingyue wants to build Feihu's tomb on Jinling Mountain and build a temple to guard it..." Song Jia said.

Lin Fu sighed softly and said, "Tell someone below to make arrangements..." She Mingyue is a She family after all, and she can't let go after Song Jia's enmity is over. Since She Mingyue wants to guard the tomb and be lonely In his entire life, Lin Fu will not fail to satisfy him with this wish.

"Then let Zuo Lan and Zuo Yan stay and wait for you. I'll go back to the palace to watch!" Song Jia said.

"At this point in the situation, I'm not afraid of them jumping, and we should give them the opportunity to jump, jump, and relax. That's the way to control," Lin Fu said, "I'll ask Liu Zhi to come over in a while, you Come meet him with me..."

Song Jia didn't say anything, then went to sit down beside Lin Fu. The palace was stared at by the Zhao family. Su Wei was also a soldier of Huaidong, so there was no big trouble...

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

After Huizhou was defeated, Liu Zhi and Xie Chaozhong fled back to Jiangning surrounded by hundreds of remnants of horses.

Liu Zhi felt that it was like three or five years in the past. He was imprisoned in the dark, and he didn't know when to be dragged out to ask him. Here, Jiangning has undergone such an earth-shaking change...

Liu Zhi raised his head and squinted to look at the lights hanging like citrus trees in Chen Yuan, and straightened his robes, his mood was like a raging wave.

Liu Zhi was led into the room by someone, and Lin Mengde came out from Beiyuan and said to Liu Zhi, "Lord Liu, it's been a long time..."

"Long time no see." Liu Zhi replied in a panic.

Lin Mengde didn't stop there. In order to stabilize Jiangning's situation, everyone had a lot of things in their hands, and they left after saying hello. After being interrupted by Lin Mengde, Liu Zhi's mind was a little settled. He walked into the brightly lit wing room, and saw Lin Bing sitting in front of the long desk, and Song was sitting there on his knees, picking up the wick with the scissors to make the oil lamp burn. more prosperous.

"Liu Zhi, who is to be punished, has met Duke Pengcheng..."

"Why does Master Liu need to be so outspoken?" Lin Fu stood up according to the long case, and asked Liu Zhi to sit down before the case with a smile, "The defeat of Huizhou was due to the fact that the emperor's decision was wrong, and Master Liu also tried his best. Dissuaded; the second is that Xie Chaozhong, that idiot, doesn't know how to use troops at all, which led to Huizhou's complete defeat - what's the fault of Mr. Liu?"

Liu Zhi smiled bitterly. His military envoy was pressed by Emperor Yongxing on his head. He did not expect the defeat of Huizhou to be so quick and complete, and he did not firmly refuse at the beginning. Although Emperor Yongxing, Xie Chaozhong, and the ministers such as Wang Tian, ​​Yu Xinyuan, and Wang Xueshan, who were brave enough to send troops, should bear the main responsibility for the defeat, it was absolutely impossible for him, the military envoy, to completely disengage from his relationship.

Huaidong wanted to control the court, and the empress dowager wanted to make Emperor Yongxing unable to lift his head. It was impossible not to take advantage of Huizhou's defeat and Jiangning's fall to cleanse -- but then again, Liu Zhi's guilt was borne by him. After all, it's not important. If Lin Fu is willing to excuse him, it can make a big crime a small one...

Lin Fu invited him over, and the intention behind it was naturally self-evident.

Liu Zhi smiled bitterly: "Pengcheng Gong don't want to make a joke about Liu Zhi. As long as Liu Zhi shares one of the sins of defeat, he will be killed. Please also ask Pengcheng Gong to point out a way to survive for Liu Zhi..." Said At this point, he took two steps back and bowed to the ground.

"Why did Master Liu do this? You and I have met in Jinhai as before, and we have known each other for a long time. How can I bear to watch Master Liu take the blame?" Lin Bie held the long case and sighed. , Smart people really don't need to say too much nonsense, Ren Liu Zhi knelt down in front of the case, and said straight, "The queen mother has already returned to court, and it is not the same for the emperor to stay in Luzhou; A country cannot live without a ruler for a day, what does Mr. Liu think is the right thing to do?"

Without the previous sentence, Liu Zhi thought that Lin Fu would abolish the emperor and establish a new one, but after thinking about it, he knew that Lin Fu still wanted to welcome Emperor Yongxing back to Jiangning. After all, Emperor Yongxing would not return to Jiangning for a day, even if he was established, It is also a very unsettling danger.

Liu Zhi also generally understood the reason why Lin Fu sent someone from the prison to invite him out directly, so he tentatively said: "Please ask Duke Pengcheng to give Liu Zhi a chance to commit crimes, and Liu Zhi will go to the palace to ask the queen mother for an order, and bring the order to Luzhou. , please return the emperor!"

"It's time for a minister to go to Luzhou and ask the emperor to come back to preside over state affairs!" Lin Fu said, "Since Mr. Liu has worked so hard, then Mr. Liu will have to work..."

There is no more suitable candidate than Liu Zhike to bring the decree to Luzhou to urge Emperor Yongxing to return to Jiangning.

Huaidong sent people over, which might irritate Emperor Yongxing and bring things to a standstill; Jiangning left-behind officials, there are only a handful of officials with weight and status, but Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan may not be willing to be driven by Huaidong at this time. Forced Emperor Yongxing to return to Jiangning.

Even after the Emperor Yongxing was invited back to Jiangning, Song Jia was staring at the Empress Dowager, but the affairs of the palace had to be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's not appropriate to change to a female official. The key is where did Lin Fu find so many qualified female officials?

Apart from wooing Liu Zhi for his own use, there really is no more suitable candidate.

"Master Liu came back from Luzhou, I will never forget Master Liu's great deeds!" Lin Fu said, staring at Liu Zhi's eyes.

"Liu Zhi doesn't dare to take credit, but only wishes to be able to share his worries for Pengcheng..." Liu Zhi said with a long bow in panic.

Liu Zhi was an eunuch. As an internal eunuch, he had no imperial examinations and fame, and no clan behind his back. His power can be said to come directly from the trust of the emperor. Therefore, he has been loyal to the emperor for a long time, but he was abandoned by Emperor Yongxing in the prison. , and relying on Huaidong can clear his name and continue to hold the authority of the servant, so he has no integrity to insist on.

Of course, Liu Zhi was also afraid that he would go to Luzhou to see Emperor Yongxing with his decree, and he would cut off Emperor Yongxing's head in a rage, but he also knew that if he couldn't do this, how could he ask Lin Fu to use him?

It is far better to go to Luzhou at this time than to sit in the prison and wait for the reckoning of Huizhou's defeat.

Lin Fu asked Liu Zhi to lead him to see Song Fu and Gao Zongting, and to go to Luzhou to invite Emperor Yongxing to return to Jiangning, which was inevitable. If he didn't do it, Lin Fu would not have fulfilled his status as a courtier. Emperor Yongxing really insisted that he would not return to Jiangning, and then he could consider the matter of abolition.

The Yanlu was coveted in the north, and at this time, he was good at building up and abolishing, and it was too hurtful, and he might cause a big mess; bringing Emperor Yongxing back was undoubtedly the best choice. However, how to welcome and appease the officials who fled Jiangning West with Emperor Yongxing, how to win over and divide, there are also a lot of exquisite; it is also unknown how many personal opinions and interests will be mixed in by the queen mother - this requires Song Fu and Gao Zongting They had a good plan with Liu Zhi.

After sending Liu Zhi away, Lin Fu said to Zhao Hu, who assumed the post of Chen Yuan's Suwei: "Since Zhang Yubo doesn't want to come to see me, then I'll go see him, you go and prepare the carriage..."

Zhao Hu was quite puzzled, and said, "Since Zhang Yubo doesn't want to meet him, why do you need to see him again?" He thought that Huaidong was not bad for Zhang Yubo, and they had a deep relationship with each other. When Huaidong entered Jiangning, Zhang Yubo was like this. Attitude, not only Zhao Hu, but also many people in Huaidong are full of opinions.

Everyone wanted to kick them far away and never see each other. Who would have thought that Lin Fu entered Jiang Ning to catch a breath, and when he was in such a hurry, after seeing Liu Zhi, he would prepare a carriage and go to Zhang Yubo's house in person?

Lin Bie said with a smile: "You will soon have to take up an important position, and you will find that some things are more complicated than leading troops to fight. One thing you must be clear: those who smile to please you may not be really good to you; those who are right If you make a bad face or disagree with you, you may not be doing bad things behind your back. Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan are dead brains, and you and I didn’t know it until today. If you gain power, I hope your former friends and old friends will all be Come and run over to flatter you and please, that's because your mentality has a problem..."

"It's just Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and the others, I'm afraid they will be used by the Queen Mother!" Zhao Hu said.

Lin Bie nodded and said: "Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan are not pedantic people, they are more worthy of justice. In addition, Jiang Ning must tolerate people who oppose us, so that we can know clearly~www.wuxiaspot. com~ We still have a long way to go, so that we can take a longer view, don't think that if Jiangning is in our hands, the world will be settled..." He added, "Consider the reality, we are in Jiangning City. It is impossible for Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and others to have no eyeliner in Jiangning City, and they are very clear about what happened here in Jiangning."

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

Zhang Yubo returned to Jiangning from Xuzhou's prefect, and filled the vacancy of the Minister of Rites. He is considered a high-ranking official in Jiangning City, but the mansion has never been replaced. Not quite spacious.

It was already dark, and Zhang Yubo's mansion did not quiet down. Yuan Jinqiu dragged Zhao Shuhan to Zhang Yubo's mansion for a drink, and did not leave until late at night. At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and the family guarding the door came in with the doorpost and reported, "Sir Shen Rong Shen is coming to the mansion to meet..."

Zhang Yubo also had no intention of getting up to greet him, and only asked his family to invite Shen Rong in.

Shen Rong entered the room and saw that Yuan Jinqiu and Zhao Shuhan were both here, and said with a smile, "The three of you and Duke Pengcheng are both commoners, why are you hiding here and drinking boring wine?"

Zhang Yubo, Yuan Jinqiu, and Zhao Shuhan were all worried.

Yuan Jinqiu was annoyed and pushed the wine glass away, and said, "The interest in drinking has been ruined!"

Shen Rong's heart was as bright as a mirror. Zhang Yubo and the other three didn't go to please Lin Fu, but they might not like to see him, but the Queen Mother wanted to fight against Lin Fu in Jiangning City. underestimate...

Just as Shen Rong was about to sit down and say a few words to ease the atmosphere, he heard chariots and horses outside, as if a large group of soldiers and horses were parked outside the courtyard gate. After a while, the family walked in panting, and said: "Pengcheng County is asking to see you outside the door..." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
