Zhu Yuheng is dead.

When Ouyang Rong received the news,

On my way back after my daily inspection of the Giant Buddha Grottoes under construction at Shuangfengjian.

A horse was riding in the distance, riding fast. The knight respectfully handed a message to the man he said, "Yan joins the army."

Yan Liulang immediately reported it to Ouyang Rong, who was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed.

"Who killed him?"

Ouyang Rong didn't open his eyes.

Yan Liulang, who was sitting with the coachman outside, read the letter and sighed a little:

"Cai Qin, Yue Ziang."

"Yue Ziang?"

"Well, according to reports, he was also at the head of Hongzhou City at that time."

Ouyang Rong nodded and said: "The reinforcements sent by Li Zhengyan have arrived. He should be accompanying the army to support Hongzhou."

"Mingfu's analysis makes sense."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "And then."

Yan Liulang said in detail:

"Zhu Yuheng fled thousands of miles. When he arrived at Hongzhou City, he was exhausted. He seemed to have taken out a token, sent someone to present it, and told him about his defection. Cai Qin and Yue Zi'ang allowed it, but they were not allowed to enter the city.

, asked Zhu Yuheng to go to the city first to present his watch.

"Zhu Yuheng did not hesitate and rode into the city with about ten personal guards. However, as soon as he passed the city gate, he was chopped into pieces with random knives.

"At that time, Cai Qin and Yue Ziang were on the top of the city, watching with cold eyes."

Ouyang Rong was silent and Yan Liulang sighed:

"What a retribution. I voted again and again. If I voted too much, people wouldn't believe it anymore."

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "Where are those surrendered soldiers who are the vanguard?"

"The Ming government cares about this?" Yan Liulang nodded: "When Zhu Yuheng died, all the dragons were leaderless, and they all surrendered. There were very few people who came back, and they were originally from Hongzhou, so Cai Qin didn't give them any trouble."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Li Zhengyan, Cai Qin is a very particular person."

Yan Liulang nodded: "The Ming Dynasty is also very particular about people. In the past few days, it has let so many people go when it comes to finishing the matter of Zhu Lingxu and his son..."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "I don't count."

Yan Liulang was speechless, put down the letter, and said a little strangely:

"But it is said above that Yue Ziang sneered, sneered, and cursed a few times... I don't know what he meant."

"explain."

"This... I've scolded Mingfu, so it's better not to say anything."

"It's okay, listen."

Ouyang Rong nodded.

Yan Liulang had no choice but to confess:

"At that time, Yue Ziang held up a felt hat and said... Yan Gong is really clever and clever. He reminded me before leaving. I didn't expect it to happen. Zhu Yuheng, do you and your son want to do it again? This little trick of borrowing tokens is Ouyang's.

What Lianghan taught you is really childish and ridiculous!"

Ouyang Rong chuckled:

"Well done."

Yan Liulang was curious. Ouyang Rong did not explain and shook his head:

"Let's go back."

"yes."

Half an hour later, Ouyang Rong returned to Jiangzhou lobby.

The battle situation on the front line is already urgent. Just like Rong Zhen's unblocking of Jiangzhou Hall not long ago, the court does not have much time to continue to delay.

Over in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, the empress has determined that the defection of Zhu Lingxu and his son has become an ironclad case. It is stronger than the Wei family, and there is no possibility of overturning the case. At most, he will cut off his tail to survive.

Or make subsequent efforts to find evidence to exonerate some of the charges, rather than taking all the blame.

At present, the news of Zhu Yuheng's death has been coming slowly. Ouyang Rong can receive it, and the Wei family can also receive it.

But he was not worried. The follow-up news about the "failed surrender" sounded a bit strange, but it would not affect the overall situation.

Except for Ouyang Rong, who could understand cause and effect, it at most aroused Wei's suspicion and vigilance. As for other people who had no interest, most of them were too lazy to pay attention and kept aloof.

Ouyang Rong shook his head and muttered something he shouldn't have said with emotion:

"It's such a cool world."

In the past two days, Ouyang Rong discovered that after the news of his resignation as commander of the marching battalion came back, Chen You and other Jiangzhou officials looked at him as a commander in a strange way.

Ouyang Rong was calm and composed, doing whatever he should do on a daily basis.

This time, the Wei people were sitting at home, and a pot came from the sky. They were so confused that they gave up a piece of cake.

But this time, Ouyang Rong was brought along to share the cake.

But he refused simply.

Because what Ouyang Rong wanted when he did this was never to divide the war achievements.

The previous complaints about not sharing the cake with him were mostly self-deprecating jokes, mocking Wei's ugly eating appearance.

If he only does this kind of thing for profit, what is the difference between him and Wei?

First of all, let’s make it clear that Daqian and Dazhou are not terminally ill, but there is something wrong with the blood transfusion mechanism.

When necessary, he can act as a catalyst for a blood transfusion, removing clots and allowing fresh blood that should have been flowing in to be injected.

But Ouyang Rong did not participate in it and flaunted himself as the so-called new blood.

At present, Wei Wang Wei's successor has failed in his duties, and Qin Jingqin, a famous general in the Eastern Campaign, is appointed as the general manager of the march to Jiangnan Road.

Ouyang Rong followed the general trend and assisted the Xunyang Palace to resolve the Liwei dispute.

Ouyang Rong is more like a foreigner to the fresh blood produced spontaneously by their bodies.

If the dynasty is compared to a body, then a relatively healthy body can exchange blood normally inside. There is no need for others to interfere too deeply, and there is no need for unparalleled warriors to bow their heads and die, just like the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the previous life. On the contrary,

It is precisely because the body is unhealthy that the warriors of the Wushuang Kingdom need to work hard and work hard.

All in all, if this unified dynasty, which was established less than a century ago, still has the potential to bring about peace and prosperity, as Ouyang Rong still believes at this moment, then there is no need for him to dedicate himself to death.

If it is gone, it is as rotten and old as Li Zhengyan said, and even a Kuangfu Army uprising cannot be overwhelmingly extinguished, then Ouyang Rong does not have to devote himself to it and die.

Therefore, Ouyang Rong refused the post of Chief of the March Army Accountant Shi.

He chose to stay in Xunyang City and take care of the Xunyang Prince's Mansion, while continuing to stare at the strange-purpose Donglin Buddha that he personally supervised.

He would not be deeply involved in quelling Li Zhengyan's Kuangfu Army Rebellion. Qin Jingqin and others could solve it, and the Zhou Dynasty had many famous generals to solve it.

The only thing Ouyang Rong had to do was to act as a lubricant from the outside, reduce the intensity of the struggle, and minimize the impact on the lower class people - so he never criticized the states and counties along the southwest that failed in the civil war, but always tolerated and understood it.

And by being modest about this position, he could still have a personal relationship with the newly appointed Qin Jingqin and do it smoothly.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Rong continued to deal with the follow-up matters of the Zhu Lingxu incident.

The end of this turmoil fell on Ouyang Rong.

Because Rong Zhen wanted to supervise the army, but Wang Lengran did not dare to take over, for fear of being implicated by Zhu Lingxu and his son. In order to avoid suspicion, he had recently acted like a coward.

Ouyang Rong, the person who was previously involved with Zhu Lingxu, was dealt with accordingly.

All the servants, concubines, and Ouyang Rong at home were sent away with money.

Except for several stubborn guards of the Zhu family, including Chen Laosan, most of the other guards were held high by Ouyang Rong and let go.

As for the generals in the former army who were appointed and dismissed by Wei and Zhu Lingxu, Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen discussed it and decided to leave it to Qin Jingqin, who was about to take office, to sort them out.

All in all, the thunder is louder and the raindrops are lighter.

This made Wang Lengran, who thought Ouyang Rong was going to retaliate next and used the topic as a pretext, a little surprised. When they met during the day, he looked at Ouyang Rong as if he were a fool.

Rong Zhen also looked at him twice.

Ouyang Rong didn't care.

In the evening, I got off duty and left the Jiangzhou lobby.

He did not return to the Huaiye Lane mansion, but went directly to the Xunyang Prince's Mansion.

At present, the relationship between Ouyang Rong and Prince Xunyang no longer needs to be kept secret.

Familiar with the road, having a meal at home...

An hour later, everyone gathered in Li Xian's study.
