Battle of the Red Mansions

Tu Jingyang left in a hurry, and did not come back as soon as he said when he left. Although Lin Xuan didn't care on the surface, she was actually a little unhappy in her heart.

But after knowing what happened in the capital, he didn't care about his petty emotions anymore.

The Jiangnan officialdom that had just stabilized was once again in turmoil. It is not known who was manipulating it. Those officials who had been dismissed or demoted suddenly gathered together to create a disturbance among the people against the imperial court.

His brother is still in the south of the Yangtze River now, and he just became the governor of Jiangsu. It is impossible to say that he is not involved at all. How could such a big matter be resolved easily?

Lin Xuan's guess was right, Tu Jingyang rushed to Jiangnan on the same day after returning to the capital, and his brother was also overwhelmed by various things, and he didn't come home on time for half a month.

If it was really a rebellion, the crimes of these officials would be serious. It would be fine if the people did not follow suit but lived an honest life. If they were really instigated to do something terrible, they would apologize with death It's not a pity.

The news spread to the capital and shocked the entire court. At first they thought those officials were just corrupt, but now it seems that things are far from that simple. How could they cause such a big mess after being seriously injured, how could it be just for money.

After realizing that Jiangnan was not that simple, Tu Jingjue guessed several situations, but he couldn't believe the most likely one.

When Prince Yizhong took poison in the palace, the whole palace was buried with him, and they all watched the body buried.

I don't know where he got the poison. After taking it, his whole face turned black.

Tu Jingjue was stunned, and suddenly realized that he hadn't looked at the corpse carefully at that time. If it was a similar body and wearing Yizhong's clothes, and his face was destroyed like that, no one would be able to tell the difference.

No wonder their good father died after crying for a few days, it turned out that was the idea.

With a sneer and pinching the center of his brows, Tu Jingjue didn't feel much in his heart. Also, there is only one son in his heart. Even if the emperor is himself now, he still has to make way for his beloved son.

It's a pity that they didn't seem to see the current situation clearly. If there was such a climate when he first came to the throne, he might be able to pull him down from the throne at that time.

As for now, huh

The secret arrangement has been messed up with those corrupt officials long ago, and now he hastily rioted, do you really think that the people under his rule are ignorant?

After Tu Jingjue rushed back to the capital, Tu Jingjue directly stated his guess. He was watching the person sitting in the imperial city.

Prince Yizhong is dead, even if that person is Tu Jingrui, he has nothing to do with them, which one of the nine clans do they choose?

If Yizhong lived and hid among the people, how could he see the clues so quickly. After decades of being a prince-to-be, he might have lost his mind on women.

Hearing of such a big change as soon as he came back, Tu Jingyang didn't refuse, and directly took people to Jiangnan again. Of course, this time he went there as a businessman.

What does the rebellion need?

silver!

If it wasn't for the lack of money, Yizhong wouldn't have corrupted so much in Jiangnan that they would have seized the handle and taken it directly. Now that he has stirred up so many people, he can't support him without money.

However, the richest person in the Daqing Dynasty, besides Guo, was Tu Jingyang. The shops in the south of the Yangtze River were almost closed, and it was not so easy to get money out of him.

The atmosphere in the Gyeonggi area became tense, and Tu Jingjue sent a lot of troops to the Jiangnan area to assist, and then he was as stable as Mount Tai in the capital. By the way, he would occasionally leak some news to the emperor who had no information in the palace.

He was so happy to hear that his beloved son was going to seize power, so if he found out that the man died unexpectedly, would he also go with him?

Cursing the corners of his lips ironically, Tu Jingjue walked back to the Imperial Study Room, and continued to review the memorial.

He has a lot of papers to approve every day, but he doesn't have time to act with the father and son. When everything is settled, it's not impossible for him to come and enjoy it.

He didn't want to pursue the suffering of his mother and concubine when he was young. Since the two of them wanted to rush forward, he didn't mind letting them feel what despair is.

The affairs in the court had nothing to do with the border. Even if there was a real fight there, as long as there was no order from the emperor, they would never return to Beijing easily.

Guarding the border and being demoted to Hangu Pass are two completely different concepts.

Although Xie Qiong was also a guard at Hangu Pass, but now there are few foreigners who can break through the checkpoints and fight to Hangu, so he can be said to be idle there.

But the northwest side is different, as long as there is a slight change here, the foreigners can detect it and immediately lead their troops to fight over. The people in dozens of cities on the border rely on the powerful Northwest Army for their livelihood.

But even though he didn't go back, Xie Qiong did not pay less attention to the news of the capital and Jiangnan. Firstly, if there was a change in the military camp in Gyeonggi, the Xie family would also change, and it was the Lin family who came here.

I don't know what I was thinking, but Lin Xuan's face turned pale when he knew that there was a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. If he didn't hold back and couldn't leave, he might have returned to Yangzhou at that time.

Lin Xuan was just an ordinary person and didn't know the twists and turns, but he knew that if there was a rebellion, the local parents and officials would be the first to suffer.

Especially the high officials appointed by the emperor were the heads sent to the rebels to intimidate the people.

He has experienced the Anshi Rebellion. He is not afraid when foreign races attack, but he is afraid that something will happen to his family. Those who have the courage to rebel will definitely not care about the lives of officials. In this way, what should we do if we hit Yangzhou?

Fortunately, in the end, General Xie couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled him to talk about the military deployment of the dynasty, not to mention that all the military camps are all trusted by the current emperor. Can't stop a group of rabble?

This is even true with soldiers, not to mention that the person who intends to make trouble this time does not have the ability to raise troops at all.

Those who were originally qualified to dispatch troops were all eradicated in the previous turmoil, but now those who are replaced are all carefully selected by the Holy One. Not only did the government affairs do well, but their loyalty to the emperor is beyond doubt.

So many years of hard work are not useless. Jiangnan has not suffered heavy losses due to natural disasters in the past few years. The people are not all brainless. went.

In the end, the mobilization of teachers and mobilization only ended up like this, which is no different from a farce.

In order to reassure Lin Xuan, Xie Qiong made things easier on purpose. Fortunately, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the person who wanted to rebel had no soldiers.

They want to rebel without soldiers, those people must be mentally ill!

After realizing that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was still under control, Lin Xuan also resumed his daily routine of training soldiers and horses. With his unremitting efforts, the two wives finally stopped fighting when they were together. Go up one by one and run wildly on the grassland.

It is impossible to find out the moths hidden in Jiangnan and the capital all at once, so Tu Jingyang also made a plan that he would not be able to go to the northwest in a short time.

It was still one letter a month, as regular as family letters. Lin Xuan just thought about it after a while when she felt uncomfortable. That's how she came here before, and now it's the same as before.

Moreover, he is not in the mood to spend too much energy on the love of his children.

The aliens who were beaten to the north can live well in two years. If they don't hurry up to train their soldiers within this period of time, they will lose the reputation of Tiance when they face off against the cavalry of the aliens.

To the best of their ability, what they guarded was not just a specific dynasty, but the countless people behind them who looked at them and were proud of them, they guarded a peaceful and prosperous age.

One year is enough time for Lin Xuan to bring Tiance to a nascent climate, and it is also enough for the foreigners to prepare for a comeback.

After several years of small troubles, this fall, the entire Northwest was unusually quiet, with a face that had not been harassed by foreign cavalry for several months. Lin Xuan knew that those foreigners were very likely to attack aggressively this winter.

Those people on horseback could not live on the grasslands in the north. The Daqing Dynasty traded with them, and the things on the grasslands were very popular in the original land. The trade was enough for them to survive the cold winter, but the life was more difficult. .

But there is no way to grab a deal directly, and it is really not worth the loss if you have to exchange the things you have worked so hard to get.

There are not a few foreigners who think this way, so although the transactions have not stopped, there are fewer and fewer foreigners who really have the purpose of trading, and more of them come to inquire about the news.

The preparations were made early in the morning, and the atmosphere of the Northwest Army became more and more solemn day by day. The spies of the scout battalion walked on the grassland all day long. As the winter was getting closer, the number of encounters with foreigners became more and more many.

When their food is almost exhausted, it may be time for the army to go south.

Since the last time the Northwest Army showed great power and drove the foreigners to the north, the people in the border town have lived in peace for a few years, and this time they heard the news that there might be foreign invaders, and they did not panic as before.

The Northwest Army is still here, those barbarians can't enter the city, they just have to be careful not to leave the city.

Because of the special situation this year, Xie Qiong reported to the imperial court early in the morning to allocate military pay. When it snowed here, in case the food and grass could not be transported, they could only borrow food from the common people.

Never daring to take war lightly, the emperor's reply was sent back quickly, Xie Qiong's frown was relaxed, and then he got up to see how the Tiance Army was doing.

Those wolf cubs were trained by Ah Xuan in this way, and they could finally bite people. Let him see what the elite soldiers who have spent so much energy training will eventually look like.

Putting all her thoughts on the upcoming battle, Lin Xuan hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the court for a long time, let alone the Rongguo Mansion, which she didn't care much about since the death of Rongguo Gong.

Because of this, he didn't know that Xue's family finally went to the capital to join the Rongguo Mansion, but it was not because of Xue Pan's beating to death that he got into a lawsuit, but because the family property was basically lost, and their family could not survive in Jinling City. I can only go to the capital to find relatives.
