Lord of the House

It only took one day for Wang Xueshan and his son to defect to the extravagant family and send their retainers to assassinate Liu Zhi.

Since the 17th, Jiangning has continued to snow for two more days. The snow on the walls and roofs is as thick as a mattress. Standing under the pavilion in the North Garden of Chenyuan, you can see the whiteness from a distance. The snow covered it, leaving behind a crisscross of streets and alleys as dense as woven threads.

Lin **** on the pavilion in the North Garden of Chen Yuan, and invited those close to him to enjoy the snow. From Lin Xuwen down, Huang Jinnian, Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Sun Jingtang and others are all core figures in Huaidong, and Chen Huazhang was also invited to enjoy the snow to show their closeness.

"Before the emperor abandoned Jiangning and fled west, there was a fierce dispute between Chen Xiang and the emperor in the Wenhua Hall about abandoning the capital. Before there was an official decision, the news spread all over the city. At that time, it was basically possible to It is concluded that either there is a problem with the minister of the court, or there is a problem with the **** of the inner minister, but I didn't expect that the problem actually lies with Wang Xueshan..." Gao Zongting said with emotion.

"That's fine," Song Fu said. "The defeat of Huizhou and the emperor's abandonment of the capital and fleeing to the west can all be pushed to Wang Xueshan's head, and everyone has a better way to go down..."

Lin Fu nodded and said: "The letter from Ju Chao is still signed by Yu, Zuo, Cheng, Wang and the King of Chu, and the emperor also drafted an edict in his own hand, asking us to arrest the relics of the king's party. It seems that the emperor really pushed all the blame. Go to Wang Xueshan. It seems that it can only be like this, and it is not appropriate to go further. Then wait for the emperor's guilt to come down, and this work will be complete..."

Central officials have all run away, and there are only three or five people left to support the scene from three provinces, six departments and nine temples. It is difficult for the central government to resume operations immediately.

In order to bring the court back into operation sooner or later, Lin Fu couldn't do **** cleaning; as long as all the officials who accompanied him returned to Jiangning, he could slowly boil frogs in warm water in the future.

"The King of Chu is going to Juchao at this time, and he will not have any good intentions; Liu Zhi is in Juchao and his life and death are unknown, and the emperor still has many things to negotiate and compromise - or should I leave?" Lin Xuwen said.

"Then let Zong Ting accompany you on a trip," Lin Fu said. When going to Juchao this time, he must settle all the things that can be decided, and try to welcome Emperor Yongxing back before and after the new year. There are many things in the coming year. , in order to proceed in an orderly manner, Gao Zongting accompanies Lin Xuwen to come over, and also shares some brain-consuming tasks, and then said, "As long as they are willing to come back, they can agree to any conditions, and see what tricks they can play? "

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

On the 20th, Lin Xuwen and Gao Zongting took the Empress Dowager Yizhi to the west in a carriage, escorted by a battalion of cavalry soldiers led by Zhao Bao, and crossed the Yijiang River to enter the nest.

Most of the guilt can be put on Wang Xueshan's head, and Huaidong and the Queen Mother also acquiesced. Zuo Chengmu, Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan, Wang Tian and others will feel much more at ease, and they have learned from the past, so they will no longer stop Huaidong from sending troops to **** them. Lin Xuwen and Gao Zongting entered the nest.

They are also worried that if there is another problem with the defense, if there is another assassination incident, the whole scene will be difficult to control.

Wang Xueshan was responsible for the defeat of Huizhou and the fall of the Imperial Capital, and the biggest worries of the officials who fled to the west were also solved. Emperor Yongxing blamed all his stupefactions as treachery and deceit, and blamed it on Wang Xueshan. He brought his father and son to torture several times, and he felt much better.

With the persuasion of Zhang Wang and others in Zuoyu, Emperor Yongxing could accept the unbearable reality in front of him, and the biggest obstacle to the negotiation was removed.

In addition to disbanding the Imperial Army Division and setting up a new Privy Council to take charge of the military and government, Lin Fu also had no intention of performing major operations on the national sports and officials before the overall situation was stable.

Wang Xueshan and his son were escorted back to Jiangning, and the three divisions of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Court of Justice were also held in a formal joint trial to convict him. The officials of other ministries, prisons, and temples will remain in their positions without major changes.

Chen Xiyan sacrificed his life for the court, and the seal will be reconsidered when he returns to Jiangning. Cheng Yuqian has the most seniority. He was the second minister before, and was promoted to the first assistant. Zuo Chengmu twice persuaded him to be successful and was promoted to the second minister. Wang Tian resigned because of illness. Xu In order to retire and return home, Yu Xinyuan was appointed as the deputy minister; Wang Xueshan vacated a minister of the household, which was also led by the deputy minister, Lin Xuwen.

Zhang Yan continued to be in charge of the Iron and Salt Division and the Minister of Internal Affairs.

The original Imperial Army was disbanded, the Imperial Horse Imprisoned Guards were disbanded, and the troops and horses were taken over by Chizhou and Huaixi respectively; Xie Dan, who was not able to keep his composure at the key point, was naturally abandoned by Yue Lengqiu. He only had more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands. Ma, who dared not resist, could only accept the fate of leading his troops to Huaixi to accept Dong Yuan's reorganization.

After the disbanding of the Imperial Army, Gyeonggi Defense will set up a new Jingying Army to be in charge, which will be subordinate to the Privy Council, but the details will only be discussed in detail after the emperor returns to the court.

After the general framework was negotiated, on the 24th, Yue Lengqiu dispatched Deng Yu and Dong Yuan to send their generals Gongsun Qi over to accept the disbanded Imperial Army. Yuan Guizheng also arrived at the nest on the 25th. On the 26th, he issued an edict in Juchao to commit the crime.

The imperial edict said that he was deceived by **** and deceived, and that he was close to the villain and was loyal to the good. As a result, Huizhou was defeated, Jiangning fell, and the country and the people were harmed. Emperor Yongxing gave up his pro-government power in the form of his own edict.

Emperor Yongxing was afraid that he would kill Huaidong and the empress dowager after returning to Jiangning. Before he made an edict, he established the emperor's eldest son, Yuan Ximin, as the king of Shou, and was escorted by Yuan Hancheng, the king of Chu, to Shouzhou to join the vassal. The last ray of hope is pinned on Huaixi's body.

Lin Xuwen and Gao Zongting, the representative of Huaidong, also had no intention of creating extravagant branches, and then stimulated Emperor Yongxing to agree to the establishment of King Shou.

On the same day that the emperor issued the decree of guilt, Ge Cunxin, Zhang Gou and others led the Huaidong Shui Infantry into Juchao.

Ge Cunxin led a large number of warships and merchant ships to pick up people; Zhang Gou led his troops to take over the defense of Luzhou Prefecture.

In addition to the disbanded imperial battalion and the imperial guards imprisoned by the imperial horse, there were about 60,000 to 70,000 people, including concubines, concubines, palace maids, officials, children, servants, etc. who fled westward with Emperor Yongxing. Jiangning went, aggravating the food shortage in Jiangning.

The concubines and concubines of the harem, as well as the servants and female officials with Pinyi in their bodies, the relatives of officials, servants and children with physical deeds, can accompany them to go outside Beijing, and the rest will be received by the Luzhou Prefecture and placed on the spot.

As a result, there were less than 30,000 people who could accompany them back to Beijing in the end, especially for the servants and palace maids. There were less than 600 servants and female officials with Pinyi, and 5,000 people were cut off at once.

Juchao is only three or four hundred miles away from Jiangning by waterway, and it is still along the river. It can be returned day and night, but there are many things to do. It is Chu Wang Yuan Hancheng who escorted Shouwang to Shouzhou first, and Huaixi and Chizhou respectively first. After taking away the Shuibu Army, which had been disbanded by the Royal Camp Army, Emperor Yongxing and the officials returned to the court, and it was delayed until the sixth day of the first month of the fourth year of Yongxing.

On the sixth day of the sixth year, Liu Zhi's injuries gradually recovered, but he escaped.

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

Counting from the war in East Fujian, it took only three months in the early stage of this chaos, and the entire Jianghuai land had undergone earth-shaking changes - and because of the rapidity of the time, there was no chance for Yanlu and bandits to take advantage of it.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yongxing entered Jiangning with a hundred officials through the East Water Gate of Jinchuan. Lin Bie led Jiangning to stay with the empress officials, and at noon, they greeted him in the East Water Gate, and escorted Emperor Yongxing into the imperial city to meet the Empress Dowager Liang.

In front of Wenhua Hall, Yuan Jianwu got off the carriage and looked at the towering palace tower, his eyes were hazy with tears, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't control the look of Lin Fu, the new privy envoy walking with a knife beside him.

The guards inside and outside the palace, although they all changed into the scarlet armor of the palace, were all served by Huaidong's soldiers. - This cage is going to get in after all. Zhang Yan looked at Lin Bie who was in parallel with Cheng Yuqian, and then saw that the emperor's two manes had frosted hair, and he sighed in his heart.

The privy envoy was the same as the imperial envoy before the verdict, and the empress dowager Lin Fuyou gave him a special "sword to climb the temple and visit the temple without a name", so the top of the court class was the same as the first assistant Cheng Yuqian, but according to Lin Xuwen and the head of the household According to the Shangshu, after this court, there may be six departments and light government affairs halls in the future.

Before Emperor Yongxing entered the Wenhua Hall, he read out the Edict of Guilty in front of hundreds of officials on the rhinoceros platform~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and only then did the Queen Mother Xuan enter the hall to instruct him. Next, the officials entered the temple to worship. I saw that on the high hall and next to the dragon chair, another phoenix was added. The queen mother wore a phoenix crown and sat on top of the phoenix. From this moment, she officially began to supervise the government, and she didn't even bother to hang a curtain. Emperor Yongxing His face was like dead ashes, sitting on the dragon chair, like dead wood, there was no movement for a long time.

"Tell Duke Pengcheng to come and listen to the decree..." Empress Dowager Liang looked down, her cloudy eyes looked towards Lin Fu, with a lot of reluctance in her expression.

Zhou Yuanqiao went to Juchao with Liu Zhixi, and was recommended by Liu Zhi to serve as Huangmen's chambermaid. The East Zhejiang system set up Si Lintie to come forward and listen to the order!"

Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan, Zuo Chengmu and others were still subconsciously shocked when they heard this. Although Lin Xuwen and Gao Zongting had negotiated with them when they went to Juchao for Lin Fu's appointment and reward, there was still too much reluctance in their hearts.

Lin Bie looked at his nose with his eyes, walked to the hall, held his hand and bowed, and said, "I am here..."

"After the autumn national disaster, the emperor was deceived by treacherous evil and repeatedly lost state affairs, resulting in the defeat of the Huizhou army, the disintegration of the imperial camp, and the fall of the imperial capital. Lin Qing led the army and horses to turn the tide, fought against the rebels, recovered the imperial capital, and rebuilt the temple with Anzong Temple. , Granted Duke Chongguo, the fief of Chongzhou, specially awarded the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, Dr. Zuo Guanglu, plus the middle and young Fu, with the imperial title of Zuodu Yushi and also leading the guard, the privy envoy, and the governor of Beijing..." The empress dowager's hoarse voice echoed in the hall, and a series of honorable titles called Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian and the others were terrified. Before entering Jiangning, they still had some confidence to compete with Huaidong. At this moment, they felt that their previous confidence was as pale as the sun in winter. My QT room is open!
