Ge Boyi arrived in Jianye on March 26th, but did not enter the city. Instead, he was eager to fight against the rebellion. He hurriedly met Zhou He, Wei Chujun, Qian Zerui, Prince Wuwei and others who had come out of the city at the pavilion in the southern suburbs of the city.
After meeting with each other and receiving further promises and the newly minted Zhejiang Road System with the seal of appeasement envoy, they went straight to Runzhou and entered Runzhou at noon on the 27th, surrounded by more than a thousand guards and cavalry.
The state governs Danyang City.
"You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have brought His Majesty into injustice. What crime should you do?"
Ge Boyi was walking in, and after giving a great salute to Emperor Shaolong, he stared at Wang Boqian, Gao Chunnian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Luo Wang and others, his beard was angry and his eyes were burning, and he scolded them.
"Gejun Gong, you don't know that Jingxiang has completed its layout in Jianye at that time, and will launch a mutiny to seize Jianye at any time. How can we bear to see His Majesty fall into the prisoner of Jingxiang's subordinates?" Wang Boqian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan
How could the others admit that they were greedy for life and fell into Jingxiang's plan to arouse the enemy? They argued, "At this time, in addition to the hundreds of officials in the court, even the four supervisors are under the control of Jingxiang and are willing to help the tiger. This shows the layout of Jingxiang."
How can we slack off if we are so strict?"
"You also know that the security situation in Beijing and Xiangzhou is tight. I don't deny that the situation was indeed an emergency at that time, but do you have any clues about the mutiny in Beijing and Xiangzhou? Now
What basis do you have to start a verbal war with Jingxiang?" Ge Boyi shouted as if he hated iron and steel, "That's it, that's it, that's it. Blaming you won't help. Fortunately, there are many people in Jingxiang.
There is still room for change despite my worries. I am having a hard time on the road, so please let me take a breather and have a good rest tonight, and we will discuss the countermeasures carefully tomorrow..."
Although Liu Yuetao took him into Runzhou at noon and said that communication with Luo Wang and other generals was smooth, the matter was not trivial. If anything went wrong, the city would be filled with blood. Ge Boyi did not dare to take it easy before further appeasing Luo Wang and other generals.
He revealed his trump card and bowed to Emperor Shaolong again: "I have just arrived in Runzhou. Everything is complicated and needs to be sorted out in detail. Please stay with me for a day or two..."
"Ge Qing, don't bother!" Although Emperor Shaolong was eager to know what clever strategies Ge Boyi had to solve this crisis, seeing Ge Boyi's haggard face, he suppressed his inner urgency and thought to Ge Boyi.
Since Yi dared to enter Runzhou City, the so-called recruitment of envoys should be with Jing and Xiangxu. He immediately nodded and said that it would not be too late for Ge Boyi to rest for the night and discuss other matters.
Ge Boyi had more than a thousand guards and cavalry enter the city, and they also independently opened a camp in the city to station themselves there - after visiting Emperor Shaolong, Ge Boyi also returned to the camp of the guards and cavalry to rest, where Luo Wang and Ge Yu
The forward general Zhou Xiong and others were all promoted by Ge Boyi. After the night banquet, they all came over to pay homage to Ge Boyi alone, which was not unusual.
"Is there really no chance of dividing and conquering Beijing and Xiangzhou?"
After Ge Boyi retreated, Luo Wang, Zhou Xiong and others asked anxiously.
"Why are you asking these stupid questions?"
Ge Boyi waved his hands exhausted and said,
"Chu Jun's initial strategy was to wait for Xu Huaitong's army to cross the Huaihe River and engage in battle with the main forces of the Chihu Prefecture. Only when they were unable to escape could they take any action, so as to force the four supervisors not to fall to Jingxiang, and then force Jingxiang to be forced to do so.
Accept divide and rule. Can't you see clearly what the situation is now? Xu Huai led the army in Huangchuan without moving. After receiving the call-up order from the Privy Council, he didn't even bother to lead his troops south. The Fourth Road Supervisor made such a choice,
What chance do you think there is?
?Do you think Han Shiliang and Ge Yu really have a chance to seize the land of Zhejiang and Zhejiang when they lead their troops across the river? If there is no chance, do you think it is faster for Han Shiliang and his troops to cross the river from Chuzhou south, or is it faster for Jing and Xiang to gather their naval forces in the Lujiang River and go down the river?
Fast? Another one, even if Han Shiliang and Ge Yu led their troops to successfully cross the river, there is no danger to defend the two Zhejiang provinces, and the navy is far less sharp than Jingzhou, how can we defend it? "
"The Duke said in front of His Majesty that there is still a chance of things turning around. What did he mean?" Luo Wang and Zhou Xiong asked in frustration.
"It has been more than 160 years since the founding of the Dai Viet Dynasty. Xu Thief wants to replace him. How can it be easy to win the recognition of Jianghuai, Jinghu, Guangxi, and the army and people of Sichuan and Sichuan? Xu Thief is more successful than the Han Dynasty.
Wang Mang, what about the constant temperature of Jin?" Ge Boyi said, "No matter how rigorous Jingxiang's plan is and how traceless it is, it can't be hidden from all the eyes of the world, nor can it be blocked from the mouths of everyone in the world.
Therefore, Jingxiang did not want His Majesty to die in Runzhou, and wanted to take His Majesty back to Jianye to buy more time for his replacement. Chu Jun also took note of this and felt that we should compromise with him temporarily, and we withdrew to
Go to southern Zhejiang!"
"Since Chu Jun believes that Xu Huai wants to replace him, how can he hand over His Majesty to them?" Luo Wang said anxiously, "There are so many poor mountains and rivers in southern Zhejiang.
We may not be able to support 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers, so what use will we do if we withdraw to southern Zhejiang? If Beijing and Xiangxi turn around and go back on their word and send troops to fight in the future, how will we respond?"
"If your Majesty hands it over, the power of Jingxiang will inevitably expand further; we cannot be so naive as to really think that Jingxiang will really keep its promise and never take action against southern Zhejiang," Ge Boyi said, "However, the topic comes back to just now
On the topic, it is not easy for Jingxiang to replace them. At least before regaining the Central Plains, Xu Thief will not dare to try easily. And any setback encountered by Jingxiang soldiers and horses in the Huaibei expedition is an opportunity for us to make a comeback.
Don’t you think that Xu’s expedition to the north of the Huaihe River will be smooth sailing? Therefore, before that, we must rest patiently in southern Zhejiang and train our troops relentlessly. We cannot wait for the opportunity to come but be unprepared...
"
"What will Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Gao, Minister of Jin, and Magistrate Luo do with them? Are they willing to go to southern Zhejiang with us?" Luo Wang asked.
"Jingxiang needs someone to stand up and bear the charge of 'hijacking' and 'bewitching' His Majesty. Wang Boqian, Gao Chunnian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Luo Nanguang, Qian Shangduan, Zhang Xin and others must be handed over to Jianye for disposal," Ge Boyi
He said, "But don't worry, after Chu Jun argued hard, Jingxiang agreed that you would go with us to southern Zhejiang in the name of accepting surrender! Running southern Zhejiang cannot do without your help!"
The Qiandi family was not monolithic to begin with, and Ge Boyi did not want Wang Gaojin, Qian and others to go to southern Zhejiang.
The status of Wang Boqian and Gao Chunnian in the court was not lower than that of Ge Boyi. Jin Zhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan, and Zhang Xin were only slightly lower than Wei Chujun. If these people all went to southern Zhejiang, Ge Boyi would
What covers the sky with only one hand in southern Zhejiang?
Isn't he worried that Wang Boqian, Gao Chunnian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan, Zhang Xin and others will turn around Han Shiliang after arriving in southern Zhejiang, and eventually fight against his Ge family in southern Zhejiang?
"My subordinates understand!" Luo Wang, Zhou Xiong and others only thought about whether they could escape. They did not care whether Wang Boqian, Gao Chunnian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan and others would become scapegoats.
In the next few days, while Ge Boyi tried his best to appease the anxious mood of Emperor Shaolong, Wang Boqian and others, he also had frequent secret discussions with the military generals.
, after confirming that the Runzhou garrison, especially the three thousand imperial guards, were under his control, Ge Boyi did not find out until the beginning of April and ordered the detention of Wang Boqian, Gaochunnian, Jinzhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan,
Zhang Xin, Luo Nanguang and others and their family.
When Emperor Shaolong Yu Xingzai learned about this, he was shocked. He urgently summoned the palace attendant Ge Boyi. He sat behind the imperial desk, stared at Ge Boyi in disbelief, and asked with a sullen face:
"I heard that you just ordered without authorization to detain Wang Boqian, Gao Chunnian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan and others. What does this mean, or has someone around me misunderstood the news?"
Ge Boyi bowed calmly and said: "I found something before and was about to report it to Your Majesty at noon. However, I heard the palace attendant said that Your Majesty had not gotten up from his nap in the afternoon, so he did not dare to disturb him. It is the same thing now that I am reporting to Your Majesty!"
"How can this be the same? Come on, come on, let me hear your explanation?" Emperor Shaolong said, throwing up his sleeves.
"I have found out that Duke Pingliang is loyal to Your Majesty and to Dai Viet and has not done anything beyond the pale. However, it is Wang Boqian, Gao Chunnian, Jin Zhuangcheng, Qian Shangduan, Zhang Xin and Luo Nanguang who have committed corruption and perverted the law for fear of being punished by the national law.
, not only conspired to deceive His Majesty into thinking that Duke Liang had done something wrong, but also deceived Luo Wang, Ge Yu, and Zhou Xiong into sending troops to kidnap Your Majesty to leave the capital, causing panic in the world.
, It is true that the ten crimes cannot be forgiven," Ge Boyi said Shiran, "I am just trying to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to punish the thieves in order to set the course of the government!"
Emperor Shaolong sat down on the brocade couch and stared at Ge Boyi in disbelief. After a long while, he stuttered and shouted: "You, you old thief, when have I failed you? You have to hand me over to the police."
In exchange for the wealth and honor of your Ge family, you can get it from Thief Xu?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me. It is true that Vietnam cannot live without your majesty for a day," Ge Boyi said. "What should I do so that your majesty will believe that I am loyal to you? This can be learned from the sun and the moon. Is it possible that your majesty wants me to keep my heart in mind?"
Are they all cut out?"
"What a loyal person?" Emperor Shaolong violently overturned the imperial court in front of him and said with a maniacal smile, "Cut your heart out. If you cut your heart out, I will believe you!"
"Why would your Majesty be so harsh on an old minister?" Ge Boyi shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Before Chu Jun left the capital, he warned your Majesty many times that there is no chance of winning if you act hastily before Xu Thief leads the army to cross the Huaihe River. Your Majesty is Wang Boqian,
In the Gaochun year, Jin Zhuangcheng and others were confused and hurriedly left the capital. Your Majesty, you have seen the result with your own eyes. Your Majesty really thinks that the old minister has the power to solve this crisis? Now, in order to ensure the safety of your majesty, the old minister can only
If you can endure humiliation and survive, you must first submit to Jingxiang! The eldest son of the veteran, Huaicong, died at the hands of Xu Huai. This was witnessed by the veteran. If it were not for His Majesty's plan, how could the veteran have done this humiliation and survive? Don't you want to pull out the troops and fight with him?
Xu Thief will decide whether he will live or die? It’s not that I don’t want to, I really can’t!”
"Aren't you afraid of handing me over, and I ordered Xu Huai to destroy your Ge family?" Emperor Shaolong was not a three-year-old child, so he said angrily, "You should know that Xu Huai will never refuse this imperial edict!
"
"Your Majesty cannot believe that Duke Pingliang has committed no unfaithful and unruly acts. How can I hand him over to you?" Ge Boyi saluted, "But when Ge Jue leads his troops to be transferred to southern Zhejiang, your Majesty will surely believe it.
How loyal the Duke of Pingliang and the old minister are!"
Ge Boyi had no intention of keeping Emperor Shao Long in his hands, but before Ge Yu led his troops to take over the defense of southern Zhejiang (eastern Zhejiang), he could not easily hand over Emperor Shao Long - of course he had to guard against Jingxiang
