Aggrieved Fish Sprite: 146|Disharmony between civil and military

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter!

There are no corpses in the capital city, and there are no broken walls.

Although there are soldiers everywhere and the atmosphere is extremely tense, the common people can still move around, and they can enter and leave the market through interrogation. Many shops on the street were closed, and there was a long line in front of the rice shop and the oil shop.

The young official of the Taijing Fuya in front of the shop read aloud the order just issued by the Wenyuan Pavilion Zaifu, claiming that the rebellion has been determined, and the conspirators have been taken down, and Taijing will return to normal soon, the people No need to snap up rice grains.

Those rice merchants who sit on the ground and raise prices have been locked up by the officials and are going to take them away.

Although the people were terrified, they still kept applauding after seeing this scene.

The six princes opened the carriage curtain and looked out, with a faint expression of disdain.

"Such merchants and others, it's time to clean up." General Liu's guard said with relief.

"I caught someone, and then made a mistake." The six princes sneered and stretched out his fingers, "Look at these servants, are they guard merchants, or the people around them who are praised."

Liu Dan gave a light cough, and before He Shilang heard the movement, he whispered to persuade him: "His Royal Highness should be cautious."

Since the Sixth Prince entered the city, the stabbing posture has become more and more obvious. Liu Dan can't understand why this is. Shouldn't he pretend to be filial at this time and show the emperor's humble and submissive side?

When I first heard of the second prince's rebellion, the sixth prince was a bit weird, and now it's even worse.

In Liu Dan's view, after a coup d'etat, Taijing was able to quickly restore such order, which is already very good. This shows that there is nothing wrong with the ministers of Zaifu, and they are not planning to make troubles with moths coming out of disgusting people.

——As a military commander who has been squeezed out and suppressed by civil officials all the year round, Liu Dan still has some opinions on some people in the court.

Not participating in rebellion does not mean that you can rest assured.

In the name of clearing the rebellion against the party, there will always be an earth-shaking change in the imperial court. Those who are demoted and resigned are all lucky. Maybe one day the dynasty will be impeached by Yushi for more than a dozen crimes. A certain faction of the officials worked together, and when the court went to the official hats and official uniforms, they were sent to prison.

For Liu Dan, the most dangerous thing is that he has no backing in the court.

His backing is the emperor himself. In order to win the emperor’s trust, the generals can only be lone ministers, and his military power and power are not so great that the civilians are willing to treat him differently, so even a person who helps speak No.

Liu Dan frowned.

More worrying than him is the Jinyiwei who went to the imperial mausoleum with the Sixth Prince in the convoy. There are imperial guards all over the streets of Taijing, and there are even yamen, but the shadow of a Jinyiwei can't be seen.

Liu Dan slowly realized that something was wrong. Although the city's interrogation was strict, but when encountering those stubbornly resisting people from the rivers and lakes, the city guards and the government officers just chased after and cursed, without using bows and arrows. It seems that if they can catch up, they will lock up people. If they can’t catch up, it’s fine. This is obviously because they are not receiving a death order, and the convoy is only embarrassed when it enters the city. Then it all goes smoothly and there is no one. Came to find fault, and no servant came to pass on the decree.

They entered the inner city with fear.

At this time, someone finally arrived, Wenyuan Pavilion's assistant bookman.

The Shishulang is a sixth-rank small official, usually from Hanlin, and his teacher is a minister of Zaifu, or he has joined a powerful faction in the imperial court, and is cultivated as a storehouse. However, before they truly sit in the position of prime minister, even if their official career goes smoothly, they will have to wait at least 20 years. During this period, there may be countless accidents that hinder them from reaching the end.

They seem to have a boundless future, but they are actually people who run errands in Wenyuan Pavilion to lay hands with the Zaifu.

At this moment, seeing such a person leading the guards to stop the way, the faces of the people in the convoy were not very good.

He Shilang relies on his identity and looks down on the other party.

Except for him, everyone else wondered in their hearts, no matter how the Sixth Prince is also a prince, how could a Sixth-Rank Servant come to welcome him? If it's a courtier of the emperor Xinzhong, it's okay to be a junior officer, but the servant book Lang in front of him is not at all.

What does this mean? The Sixth Prince no longer has any chance of ascending the throne? The sixth prince is going to be unlucky soon? Or is the emperor deliberately suppressing the six princes? Or... Does the emperor really still hold the power of government? It stands to reason that for the balance of power, even if the emperor killed the second prince and appointed the third prince as the prince, he would not really throw the sixth prince aside. On the contrary, he would have to sneak out the little prince to sharpen the east palace!

They are all people who are in the officialdom. They have a lot of thoughts. Everyone shudder after thinking about it.

The servant book Lang silently announced that it was nothing more than the second prince's rebellion. His Majesty was furious and ordered a strict investigation. During the period, it was mentioned that the second prince colluded with the commander of Jinyiwei and bought the assassins to enter the palace. The assassins have not been caught yet, so they ordered the Imperial Guard to **** the six princes into the palace for strict protection.

He Shilang was out of mind, Liu Dan didn't dare to move rashly, so he watched them take the Sixth Prince away.

Later, He Shilang was mentioned in the oral statement, and he was asked to return home to rest and wait for the meeting in a few days later.

Seeing that the book servant turned around to leave, Liu Tan couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty mentioned this general?"

Shi Shulang glanced at him, because Liu Dan's injury was not healed, so he didn't wear armor, and only wore a rank 4 military uniform. There is no difference between the military attache’s four-rank official robes, but the armor has a difference in standard. The servant booklang obviously did not remember who Liu Dan was. He thought it was the military attache who escorted the six princes from Yongzhou, so he said casually: "No, Du Weixian Go back to the post in the state house and wait for the news."

Liu Dan: "..."

Officials from other places come to Beijing for post, or enter Beijing for official duties, because there is no place to live, they will live in the post house with the state government sign. This is set up by the imperial court, and the official himself does not need to spend money.

If he is the local fourth-rank superintendent, he can indeed only go to the post house, even if he has already bought the house of Taijing, it is still in the outer city. Officials are naturally on standby in Beicheng and Inner City, which are close to the imperial city. The houses here are simply not affordable and the prices are scary.

But he used to rescue the generals! The emperor has rewarded the mansion! Even if no one lives all the time, the house is not big, but he still has a house!

This patron is not sent by the emperor at all!

Liu Dan didn't believe that the emperor could forget himself. It was not that Liu Dan thought highly of himself, but that the emperor was eager to call him into Beijing to ask about the Shilang Mountain Gold Mine.

He would walk with the pedestrians like the Six Princes because the Six Princes disappeared because of playfulness when they were in the Yongzhou imperial tomb. When He Shilang asked the government for help, he also got him passing by the place and asked Work hard to find. Later, the chaos of the imperial tomb collision occurred, and He Shilang and Liu Dan respectively wrote a secret memorial and reported it to the emperor.

So in the official document, Liu Dan did not go with the Sixth Prince.

But here in Lu Zhang, he knew this very well, and whether it was for the gold mine, the imperial tombs, or to understand what the Sixth Prince did on the road, Lu Zhang couldn’t completely ignore Liu Tan. Not only didn't mention a word, the person who delivered the verbal order didn't even know who Liu Dan was.

General Liu's brain buzzed loudly.

He stopped the guards with his eyes, and stared menacingly at Jin Yiwei and soldiers who were walking along the way.

"Yes, we are going to Yongzhou Post House." Liu Dan turned his head and smiled and said to Shi Shulang.

The Shi Shulang noticed something was wrong, looked at Liu Dan suspiciously, took note of the matter in his heart, bowed his hand to the courtesy, and then took someone away.

The guard watched his back and cursed in a low voice.

Individually flexible Jin Yiwei also reacted. Liu Dan was fighting mountain bandits in Pingzhou, and he should have lived in the Pingzhou Post House.

"The situation is wrong."

"Your Majesty...Is the second prince in charge?"

"Idiot, if the second prince is in power, it shouldn't be the second prince who has been labeled as an antagonist, it should be the third prince!"

Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, the second prince is not like a person who can plot a rebellion at all! Even if the second prince is stupid, the commander Jin Yiwei is not stupid.

"...Your Majesty's faithful Jin Yiwei can't see any of them, there are even our commanders in the rebellious party!"

"The three princes are really hidden."

Everyone, you and me, you twisted the truth in another direction by mistake.

Smart people are often defeated by absurd reality.

Because no matter what you think, the civil official group secretly planned to incite the second prince to conspiracy, bombard the palace with artillery, and then take advantage of the chaos to control the capital, uniting the three princes under house arrest, and the process of killing the second prince is very convincing.

The next opponent of the three princes is the weak prince.

The six princes are young and have no power, so it is difficult to stand up.

Liu Dan hurriedly returned to his mansion and sent soldiers out to inquire about the news. He walked around the flower hall with his hands on his back.

Because he is not in Beijing for a long time, the servant is very slack on weekdays. At this moment, he hangs his head tremblingly and tells Liu Dan what happened in Beijing these days.

Mainly the stars on the day of the Yuan Dynasty, and the double dragon vision that appeared in the sky a few days ago.

Liu Dan didn't hear what he wanted to know. He was anxious, and the guards came back one after another.

"General, it's not good! The prince is critically ill. It is said that this month's affairs. Originally concealed very carefully, Taijing was under martial law, and those who handled related matters were afraid and revealed the news."

"Really?"

"General, no good! Beizhen Fusi is besieged by the Imperial Guards...and Nanzhen Fusi, those Jinyiwei guards are trapped inside. It is said that this has been four days."

"What?!"

Liu Dan came up with the case. Although he was very tired of Jin Yiwei, it was bad news for Liu Dan that the emperor did not succeed. The three princes came to power through the civil service group, and the military generals' life would be even more sad.

"So bold, are you not afraid of being known to the ruling and the public, and notorious?"

"...General, there is even worse news. A few days ago, Jin Yiwei and Zhi Gongjun were dispatched to Shangyun Mountain to capture the gangsters who were brought into Beijing to make trouble. As a result, they did not come back, and the city was under martial law. After that, General Tan of Zuoying in Gyeonggi brought his soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the party and headed towards Shangyun Mountain. General, do you think they are arresting Jianghu people, or are they dealing with Gong Tongzhi?"

Liu Dan was dumbfounded, and when he recovered, he quickly urged: "How did you know this?"

"There is a chaos in Nanzhen Fusi. It is said that there is nothing in the yamen to eat. They quarreled with the Guards, and their voices spread far and wide!" The soldier licked his lips and said disdainfully, "Those guys. The Guards were also ridiculous, thinking that they could completely suppress Jin Yiwei this time, and proudly said that Gong Tongzhi might have died in the hands of gangsters."

Liu Tan shook his head: "Gong Tongzhi's reputation in Nanzhen Fusi is even higher than that of Jinyiwei Commander. These imperial guards are so rude, they are simply stabbing a hornet's nest."

"So this is the case? No wonder!" The soldier added hurriedly, "The few Jinyiwei got angry when they heard it. They rushed out and injured several guards. Without seeing blood, they removed several arms. What did they say about martial arts, that Shangyun Mountain is so big, how could something go wrong? Then the Guards missed their words, it turns out that General Tan from Zuoying, Gyeonggi came with artillery, artillery. Ah! Boom the mountain directly!"

Rao is Liu Dan, too shocked to speak.

How could Taijing mess up like this?

"Now, what happened to the Imperial Guard and Nanzhen Fusi?"

"It's not clear yet. A brother is squatting over there and watching. I'll come back and report to the general."

Liu Dan frowned when he heard this, and regretted: "We shouldn't go to Beijing. We can see the direction of the wind after a period of delay outside. Now we are caught in the whirlpool, and I really don't know how to get out."

"It's easy to handle, why don't we sneak into the Imperial Guard and act by chance?" the soldier suggested.

"No, even though the servant booklang didn't know me, he went back and said that he couldn't hide the identity of the general. At that time, he will not be able to find someone, and I am afraid that he will be directly beaten as a rebellion." Liu Dan Long sigh, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

This is really troublesome.

Just as Liu Dan was worried, another soldier hurried in.

"General, something strange has happened!"

Liu Dan is not as surprised as the previous two times. He just raised his eyelids and ordered in a deep voice: "Say!"

This soldier is relatively young. He leaned over and said mysteriously: "Something went wrong at Shi Lang's house!"

"Huh?"

"The subordinates followed him to He Shilang's house, the general guessed what, He Shilang was furious at home at the moment! His servant wanted to keep it, but he couldn't help it. He Shilang went home to change clothes, but his house... …Poof."

Liu Dan stared at the soldier, who quickly reduced his smile and said solemnly: "All of He Shilang's clothes have been stolen, except for his purse and Luo socks! There is nothing left! Even the shoes are gone!" /

"...What did the thief steal these clothes for? The official robes were also stolen?"

"No, five or six official robes are gone, and official boots with jade hats are gone."

Liu Dan meditated: "Could someone pretend to be He Shilang?"

"More than that, I heard from the servants of Hefu that all the rice in the house is missing, and there is only a pile of cabbage left in the kitchen." The soldier held back a smile and whispered, "Subordinates guess, maybe These things will appear in the homes of the poor people in Xicheng, robbing the rich and helping the poor, it sounds like a scripture."

Liu Tan said in an angry voice: "Come on, why did the heroes steal the official robes? When is this? Someone else does this kind of thing..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the guard who returned last looked wrong.

Beside the guard, there was a small man in gray puffing armor. At first glance, he thought it was his own soldier.

"You--"

The uninvited guest raised his head with a gloomy expression.

"General Liu does not seem to welcome this king anymore."

"Six princes...how did you come out?" As soon as Liu Dan spoke, he remembered that the sixth prince could sneak out before, and He Shilang quickly turned over the imperial tomb without finding anyone.

Liu Dan's face is ugly, and where the prince stands in front of him is obviously a huge trouble.

Trouble with your head!

"His Royal Highness is distinguished. Now the city is full of chaos. His Highness shouldn't run around arbitrarily anymore."

"General Liu, you are the confidant of the emperor, and the emperor must summon you first." The six princes stared at him, pursing his lips and said, "When the time comes, please take me into the palace as a guard. Even the general If you don’t agree, I can find Liu’s mansion, and there is also a way for others to find the general here. The general does not want to be a chaotic party!"

Liu Tan looked cold and ruthlessly ordered the soldiers to drive them out.

"The sixth prince was taken into the palace. The identity of this man is unknown. You actually let him in! Let him go!"

The six princes were not upset either. He fixedly looked at Liu Dan and said, "The people the general met in the imperial tomb, don't you introduce one or two to the king?"

Liu Dan's heart jumped, but his face remained calm.

Without Liu Dan's composure, the soldiers couldn't help but slow down.

Seeing this, the six princes said more confidently: "General Liu may not know that this king has learned martial arts, and his ears and eyes are more flexible than others. That day, in the woods near the imperial tomb, I heard your relatives Bing mentioned a name."

"..."

"Meng Guoshi, a very interesting title, who is this person?"

Liu Dan felt a headache for a while when he looked at the confident six princes.

The six princes hummed and said: "Later, the imperial tomb was hit by a group of people from the rivers and lakes. After the investigation, the king even heard that there was a former imperial court man named Aunt Yu. He once saw a figure and temperament. The expressions in her eyes are exactly like the former national teacher Meng Qi, but her appearance is much younger. Aunt Yu insists that it is the national teacher Meng, and said that there is no other person in the world with such power. What's more unfortunate is that her description makes her I thought of the two strangers I met near the imperial tomb Lujiazhuang. One of them was just as she said, there is no one in the world, and it is unforgettable."

"I don’t know what His Royal Highness is talking about. I would have been fighting in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and then I went to Pingzhou to suppress the bandits. I have only a handful of years in Taijing. I don’t even recognize the officials of this dynasty. Don't say anything about the former national teacher!"

Seeing that Liu Dan's oily salt was not entering, the sixth prince nodded and calmly said: "Then let's not mention this. Let's talk about the current crisis of the general. The position of the fourth-grade miscellaneous general is not high. With one order, the assistants can disarm you and return to the field, or take you to blame. You are a trustworthy courtier of the emperor. When the new emperor takes the throne, your position will be replaced by the new emperor’s confidant. Is the general willing? The general’s soldiers? Horses were born and killed following the generals in northern Xinjiang, and gave them to others. Are they willing? Will they have a good end?"

The six princes reached out to the guide and sneered: "If I were the new emperor, I only need to send these people to the Yangtze River defense line and force them to attack the old places of Chu. They will naturally become one of the soldiers on the list of soldiers killed in the military department. Member."

Liu Dan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he doesn't say anything.

The best way to deal with people like the Sixth Prince is to ignore it with a cold face.

Seeing that the six princes couldn't get angry, they changed their words: "Or the general wants to defect with his troops."

He slapped his palms twice and laughed sarcastically: "This is a good idea, but unfortunately the general's old department is in Pingzhou. What will happen to the general after he fled back with his soldiers? Go to the territory of the three kings of the Chu Dynasty. Yongzhou, can the Tianshou king go to the southwest? The general cleared the rudder of the holy lotus altar, can the Tianshou king really stay there?"

Liu Dan was surprised, how did the Sixth Prince know that he was in Qinghu Town, Pingzhou?

The six princes only laughed. He received the Pingzhou secret report from the prince and the prince from the commander Jin Yiwei. He would naturally not be so stupid to say it.

"...In this way, the general can only take his subordinates as far away as the pass, or escape into the mountains, and take the mountain as the king where the emperor's order cannot be conveyed. Now there is an opportunity to change his fate. It depends on whether the general can hold it!"

"Just to take you into the palace?" Liu Dan sneered.

"No, I want to see that Meng Guoshi!"

The eyes of the six princes were bright, and he wanted to see the legendary figure who had been mentioned by the prince, who had entered an uninhabited land in Fusi in Beizhen and caused the death of Deputy Commander Jin Yiwei.

I missed it in the imperial mausoleum before, which really made the six princes very regretful.

Thinking of once overhearing what Meng Guoshi and the doctor said about Lujiazhuang, the Sixth Prince was even more excited. It is a rare thing that the six princes are capable people who do not put imperial power in their hearts, or are the rulers of the world in the words of the big emperor brother!

"You, what did you say?" Liu Dan was dumbfounded.

"This King..."

The sixth prince thought silently, he was looking for a reliable assassin, like the idiot of Brother Erhuang, what the ancestor of the Qingwu was looking for! Meng Guoshi is different!

"This king can promise Meng Guo's teacher and assistant, not only this king, but also the big emperor!" The sixth prince gritted his teeth and said, he believed that the prince would definitely approve of him.

Liu Dan and the soldiers: "..."

Meng Guoshi don't want to print, he only needs money bags.
