229 suppression
Chu Qing did not follow Lin Jianyue to Yangzhou, but accepted Lin Jianyue's appointment to cross the river to appease senior officials from all walks of life in Jiangnan gathered in Zhenjiang.
Chu Qing mostly knew Lin Jianyue’s ideas and ideas in the future. He was born in Jiangnan, so it was most suitable for him to come forward.
Knowing that Lin Jianyue was about to cross the river, Jiangnan had some status and thoughts and naturally came to greet him, at least try to show his face and leave a impression on His Royal Highness Yan.
Cao Shaozhen even wanted to cross the river to find Lin Jianyue, but was stopped by Wang Gui.
"Old Cao, our Jiangnan is not as good as the people in the Central Plains for expelling the Tartars, but we don't have to underestimate ourselves. The human resources and financial resources of Jiangnan play a crucial role in unifying the world. As a representative of the Jiangnan military, you can easily cross the river, which will make the people in the Central Plains look down on Jiangnan. We are convinced by Your Highness, not them."
Cao Shaozhen, who was born in the Wuxun family, did not agree with Wang Gui's statement in his heart. He wanted to meet Lin Jianyue as soon as possible to express his loyalty and future plans. However, he knew Wang Gui's political etiquette, so he did not object.
"The elite troops of the Imperial Army, Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan Road have all reached the riverside. Will there be people with ulterior motives involved? Will there be any riots and assassination happen? Old Cao, this is what you need to focus on now. Your Highness informed in advance and sent Chu Qing over here, not to show off, but to give us time to sort out the internal situation. If you don't have anything to happen, it will be really embarrassing and will really make people in the Central Plains look down upon."
Cao Shaozhen was shocked. There were definitely many young and stubborn Ning Chao. He knew that there were several people who were quite active. During this period, he was thinking about Lin Jianyue and his itinerary. If such a thing really happened, what would he have to see Your Highness?
Cao Shaozhen felt that he was not inferior to anyone in the war and management of the army. However, in terms of internal counter-attacks and investigations of the enemy, he knew that he was definitely not as good as His Highness's Servant or Dieyi Division. Cao Shaozhen, the chief officer of Dieyi Division of the Yanwangfu's Servant in Jiangnan, knew that he decided to use their power to find out the group of people with dissent, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
Zeng Huaiting was the defensive censor of Xuanzhou and General Dehua on his face, but he still had one unknown identity, that is, the deputy commander of the Western Yai of the Imperial City Department.
The former Imperial City Division had a huge organization and hidden powers were all over the country. Cao Shaozhen led a large army to clear the monarchy. Many people from the Imperial City Division surrendered, and the general yamen in Jianning were all destroyed. The coordination and command were lost. The name of the Imperial City Division had been lost, but its strength was still retained. Zeng Huaiting was the strongest and most stubborn royalist sect among them.
Xuanzhou on Jiangnan East Road is an important barrier to the southwest of Jianning. Zeng Huaiting has been in Xuanzhou for more than ten years and has tens of thousands of elite troops under his command. If he had not had the identity of the Imperial City Department, he would have been transferred long ago.
Cao Shaozhen made up his mind to fully control the army without any scruples. It was only a matter of one or two years. Xuanzhou's army also belonged to the imperial guards. There were hundreds of thousands of imperial guards, so how could Cao Shaozhen find out all of them? Moreover, Zeng Huaiting has always been Cao Shaozhen's confidant general, and he is the one who listens to the hello on weekdays.
The emperor was under house arrest by Wang Gui and Cao Shaozhen. Zeng Huaiting, as a general in charge of a state, was Cao Shaozhen's confidant. Naturally, he knew that Zeng Huaiting, who had only more than 10,000 subordinates under the general trend, could not do anything, but he had always had the intention of restoring the throne.
This time, when he came to Zhenjiang to welcome Lin Jianyue across the river, Zeng Huaiting also led 3,000 troops to follow Cao Shaozhen, which was one of the most likely troops to approach Lin Jianyue. Zeng Huaiting thought that since the emperor has not really abdicated, as long as he kills Lin Jianyue, the emperor still has the opportunity to continue to sit firmly in the Dragon Court. As for whether there will be chaos in the world, the Hu people invade the south, the suffering of the people, etc., these are not things he cares about.
But in front of everyone, he was assassinated among the troops. Such a few people under his command would definitely die without a place to die. Repaying the emperor's kindness is to repay the emperor's kindness. There is no need to drag the whole family to bury it. It is still necessary to block the knife and advance and retreat together.
Zhao Yi, deputy envoy of the Third Division, is Zeng Huaiting's die-hard ally.
Zhao Yi came from a poor family and studied poetry and books hard for more than ten years. Because he had no connections, no resources, and no good teacher, he never passed the Jinshi exam.
Zhao Yi claimed to be outstanding in literary talent, but was not convinced. In order to make a name for himself, he spent a lot of money to learn how to write palace poems. He even betrayed that he really appreciated himself to support all his money in selling to his brothel Shang Xiaolian. He was really capable, and he could even write a lewd word that could be so beautiful that he lowered his figure and flattered the eunuch in the palace. With Ning Ze's lustful personality and eunuchs to build a bridge, he naturally admired Zhao Yi very much, thinking that he was a fellow man, much better than Wang Gui.
Zhao Yi was easily awarded the Jinshi and was personally appointed as a Tanhualang by the emperor. From then on, he was promoted from a county magistrate to a deputy envoy of the Third Department in less than ten years, and then he was promoted from a county magistrate to a deputy envoy of the Third Department, and then he went further to the Political Affairs Hall.
When Zhao Yi became rich, the Zhao family was also developed. He was the group of people who benefited the most from Ning Chao. He was oppressed for a long time before, but when he became rich, he naturally became more aggressive and spoke and acted arrogantly, so he offended many people. It was only when the emperor supported him before that he had been fine. Now the emperor is about to fall, and Zhao Yi feels in danger. Now supporting the emperor is to protect himself.
Ning Dynasty has existed for so many years, and there are many people like Zhao Yi. There are not many people who truly support the emperor and have strength like Zeng Huaiting. The court is almost over, and the person who can lead troops independently is the eldest brother, and the potential power of the Imperial City Department. Zeng Huaiting, who was born as a military general, naturally became the main leader of the restoration.
Zhao Yi has been the governor and has been in the center for so many years, so he is still very powerful. For example, his distant younger brother is a side general under Lu Jinshan, and he can control many soldiers and horses. Because of this, he can become Zeng Huaiting's ally.
Cao Shaozhen was too lazy to deal with people like Zhao Yi, but the Butterfly Yi Si was different. The emperor was about to step down. A large group of ministers who had been flattering and fortunate to join the past were their focus. Zhao Yi was on the list.
As soon as they received Cao Shaozhen's request for help, they immediately took action, but not many people were really brave and capable, but more were Mingzhe, and when they found out that Zhao Yi, they finally got a big surprise.
Shang Xiaolian is both talented and beautiful. After Zhao Yi became rich, he finally had a little human nature. He redeemed Shang Xiaolian from the brothel as a concubine, but he had long lost his passion for her. When he reached Zhao Yi's position, he was afraid that there would be no beautiful talented woman to throw herself into his arms. He has been neglected for many years and cannot leave. Shang Xiaolian has long been desperate for Zhao Yi, especially Zhao Yi once gave her to the emperor for flattery, which made her feel even more discouraged. The Butterfly Yi Si took advantage of the situation and penetrated Zhao Yi's mansion very quickly.
If you attach importance to Zhao Yi, you will focus on monitoring Zhao Yi. In just three days, the Butterfly Yishi Department discovered that Zhao Yi had colluded with outsiders. The Fufu Department immediately sent a good man to follow the clues and soon found Zeng Huaiting.
Looking at the countless people surrounding him and Zhao Yi, Zeng Huaiting knew that he could not survive, but he was a loyal man and still wanted to struggle dyingly, trying to lead the three thousand people he trusted most to resist, cause trouble for the imperial guards, and give other people similar to him more opportunities. Unfortunately, when his subordinates knew that Zeng Huaiting actually wanted to lead troops to assassinate the King of Yan, more than half of them took the initiative to put down their weapons.
There was no situation in suppressing Zeng Huaiting that Cao Shaozhen was worried about causing chaos in the imperial guards, but there were still many people like Zeng Huaiting, which made Cao Shaozhen feel scared and did not vent Wang Gui anymore. Instead, he directly passed the Butterfly System and asked the Huaiyang Army or Wuwei Army to send troops across the river to guard the personal guard completely isolate those who have bad intentions.
