Chapter 260 Concubine Shi Can Also Hold a Knife
"It's actually Jingyun!"
Zhu Guoqiang was immediately stunned!
That pretty face, her gentle words, and of course her carefree personality flashed in his mind.
She was the one who planned all of this!
This...this, is this possible?
She is not such a person.
Although Jingyun said that he wanted to be a female general, he was limited to that. His character has always been carefree, so how could he have such a scheming mind?
Facing the surprised Crown Prince, Chen Changgeng continued to explain.
In fact, the city of Jinan was very lively that day. When tens of thousands of people broke into the residence of the Zhongguan guard in anger, groups of heroic female cavalry were seen galloping past on the streets of Jinan. It made people look at them.
Not only were they all women, the bright clothes and sharp weapons of this unit also attracted people's attention, making some people feel frightened and curious.
Whose troops can have such a pomp?
It’s Concubine Takashi!
Li Jingyun, who was leading a team of female cavalry, had a worried look on her eyebrows. In the past few months, as the Crown Princess, she had been playing a role in winning over people's hearts - visiting the country soldiers in the barracks and sewing for them.
Cotton clothes, cotton shoes, why are you doing all this, just for today.
Born in a military family, she may not be as smart as a daughter from a scholarly family, but she understands what is most important in the current situation!
It is the morale of the military and the morale of the people.
As the Crown Princess, she must protect Jinan for the Crown Prince and his roots!
If you want to defend all this, you must firmly grasp the morale of the military and the hearts of the people. As long as you grasp these two, Jinan will be defended.
In fact, she knew very well that as long as she was willing, she could lead the female soldiers in the palace all the way south and leave Jinan at any time, but she could not leave because Jinan was the foundation of the Crown Prince! She could not live up to the Crown Prince's trust in her.
"Little sister, when we arrive at the governor's office later, if... you just follow the plan, my brother knows what to do!"
Li Chengqi, who was following his younger sister on horseback, knew as a hereditary officer that the Li family had no choice. If his brother-in-law really rebelled, the Li family would have no choice but to follow him in rebellion.
Therefore, since he knew that his brother-in-law was leading the army south, he came to Jinan with his two younger brothers. In this way, he was helping his sister with suggestions.
Speaking of which, at least half of today's things were his handiwork. Well, as a scholar, he was actually not willing to do these things, but the Li family had no choice, and he had no choice.
"Brother, little sister knows what to do."
Li Jingyun turned around and smiled at her eldest brother and second brother.
"I just made you worry about dad, eldest and second brother. It's really a sin."
"Look what you said, little sister, the prince was forced to rebel now. Who allowed him to surpass the master with his superior achievements..."
Before the second brother could finish speaking, Li Jingyun's face turned cold and she said coldly.
"The Crown Prince is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so how could he rebel? He appointed himself the Governor-General for the convenience of commanding the troops and to resist the captives and suppress the bandits. The so-called rebellion is just a crime committed by others. The second brother must remember not to do it again in the future.
Nonsense!"
Seeing the annoyance in the little girl's eyes, Li Chengdong, who knew that she was angry, said quickly.
"Yes, yes, it's all because the second brother made a mistake. The second brother made a mistake. In fact, the second brother is also very angry. The emperor who doesn't distinguish between good and bad is..."
Before he could continue, Li Chengqi whipped him and said.
"You are the only one who talks a lot!"
The two brothers have completely different personalities. The eldest is calm, while the second is reckless. As for the third, hey, his personality is so gloomy that even the eldest brother sometimes feels a little scared. So, he didn't bring him here at all.
After that, Li Chengqi pointed forward and said.
"Little sister, the governor's office has arrived!"
When the Yamen officer wanted to pass the ball, Li Jingyun said directly to the attached female guard.
"Stop him!"
The reason why Li Jingyun led the female guards here was because she knew that a major matter was being discussed in the governor's Yamen!
This matter is related to Jinan and the foundation of the prince!
In the governor's office, Song Xuezhu, the governor of Shandong, looked at the people in front of him. Shandong political participant Deng Qian, political envoy Zhang Bingwen, including the current Jinan governor Han Chengxuan, they were all people saved by the prince, like Deng Qian's
The eldest son is in the Shiziye army.
When Song Xuezhu was looking at everyone, everyone in the room also had their own thoughts. Among everyone, Deng Qian had the most upright character. When he was defending the city in Jinan last year, he held a cannon and shot many slaves with his bow.
, in history, the city was captured, and he was brutally beaten to death. His mother went on a hunger strike and died, and his two sons were kidnapped. Only the younger one escaped. However, some changes have occurred in this time and space. People like Deng Qian would have been able to
All the civil servants who were killed survived.
Even because of the battle in Jinan, their mentality changed slightly. Seeing that the governor did not speak, Deng Qian, who had been suppressing his anger, took the initiative to break the silence. He stood up and said loudly.
"Everyone, outsiders say that the prince is a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, but Deng only knows that the prince led his troops south to aid the south of the Yangtze River, repeatedly failed to establish slaves, and was later framed. Although Yangzhou was trapped, the prince still wanted to serve the country and did not hesitate to do so.
He took risks with his own life, defeated Shenyang in Liaodong with a surprise force, and later wiped out more than tens of thousands of slaves under Abatai's command in Nanjing. After such a shocking achievement, how did the imperial court treat the prince? They actually wanted to imprison the prince.
The prince was imprisoned in Zhongdu, not to mention that the prince did not rebel, but for such an unfounded charge, does the prince deserve to sit idle and wait to be killed?"
Seeing Deng Qian break the silence, Han Chengxuan thought for a while and then said.
"Although Chengxuan has a humble position, he also knows his loyalty. The prince's loyalty is well known to everyone. Now he has been framed and accused of rebellion. The chaos in the court cannot be followed!"
There is no difference between this sentence of "This is a chaotic order that cannot be obeyed" and the prince's sentence "This is a chaotic order, and I will not obey the imperial edict." It also makes his attitude clear.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Bingwen, the chief envoy of Shandong, thought for a while and then said.
"You can't follow the chaos, we should protect the safety of everyone in De Fan!"
The chief envoy had expressed his stance, so naturally the governor also needed to express his attitude. After thinking about it, Song Xuezhu asked in reply.
"What if the imperial court decrees that we take down the entire De Fan family?"
"We should try our best to preserve it!"
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone made their choice immediately. They were different from ordinary civil servants. They had all killed slaves with swords at the top of Jinan City, and had fought with blood and wine. They were loyal and naturally did not want to see the prince being killed.
collusion, and even less willing to help the tyrants do evil.
"What if, according to the strict decree of the imperial court, a middle-ranking officer is sent to come with guards in uniforms to help and take the person in person?"
Send a lieutenant with the royal guards to Ji to take the person in person.
Just when everyone was silent, someone heard someone speaking outside the door.
"This is a disorder of fate, Lu does not obey the edict!"
…
Who is speaking? Listening to Chen Changgeng describing the changes in Jinan during this period, everyone knew the answer without guessing.
It must be Jingyun!
Zhu Guoqiang asked in surprise.
"Then what?"
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess led us into the house. Governor Song and the others all greeted the Crown Princess one after another, and then invited the Crown Princess to sit at the head table. That day minister was really eye-opening!"
Even though it had been two days, Chen Changgeng still couldn't help but sigh when talking about everything that happened that day.
"That day, after the Crown Princess sat down, she held the sword in her hand! She looked at everyone in the room, and then said - "Last year, the Crown Prince led his troops south to fight against the captives. He devoted himself to killing the enemy and serving the country, and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. However, there were treacherous ministers who framed the Crown Prince.
I have conspired to rebel and put the prince to death. You are all officials of the imperial court and loyal people of our great Ming Dynasty. I have only one question to ask. Do you want to be rich and honorable and obey the orders of chaos, or do you want to be the righteousness of heaven and earth and reject the foolish king?
The fate of traitorous officials!" Prince, you don't know that after the Imperial Concubine asked in a deep voice that day, Governor Song and others all bowed to the ground..."
Amidst Chen Changgeng's emotion, a picture emerged in Zhu Guoqiang's mind. Jingyun, dressed in garrison uniform, was sitting there and shouting in a deep voice. How elegant and heroic she looked?
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little bit frustrated, this woman always exceeded his expectations.
This was true when we were defending the city in Jinan, and it is also true now.
Just at this time, he heard Chen Changli say again.
"Your Majesty, your concubine has asked me to cross the river to deliver a message to you. Before leaving, I asked you to tell your Majesty - Please just kill the enemy for the country. With your concubine here, Jinan and Shandong will be fine!"
After receiving Li Jingyun's letter from Chen Changgeng, Zhu Guoqiang read it carefully and didn't say a word for a while.
Although there will inevitably be some love between children in my heart, but more importantly, I tell him not to worry. Let him just let go and do what he wants to do. As long as she is here, home is here.
"This woman..."
Silently reciting these words in his heart, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but feel a little moved. Then while being moved, he also realized an opportunity, an opportunity created by Jingyun.
Originally, he was still hesitating about how to deal with the relationship with the court?
But what Jingyun is doing in Jinan now reminds him just right.
In fact, how can things be so difficult?
There is a way to break up, and there is a way to break up if you don't want to break up, and you don't want to break up. Jinan has a good sense of proportion and puts itself in a dilemma.
Now, as long as you let yourself find an appropriate way to deal with it, you will be in this dilemma, which is the best choice at the moment.
"Tell me, if we break with the imperial court now, is the time ripe for us?"
Looking up at Chen Changgeng, Zhu Guoqiang asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it depends on how you look at it!"
Faced with the prince's question, Chen Changgeng did not give an answer, but said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
