Chapter 13: The mystery of returning to Beijing
"That doesn't matter. It would be terrifying if you really mastered the Four Swords of Zhu Xian!"
Jiang Meiliang was also amused by Ye Feng's words.
"Miss, why don't we just wait for Jiang Feng for a while, and when he is well, we can take him back to the capital and visit Jianshan Mountain. Wouldn't it be just right?"
Luluo thought for a while and suggested.
"We are running out of time. Doctor Jiang estimates that it will take a month at the earliest for Jiang Feng to recover. Winter will begin in a month. Once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it will take at least two months to go back and forth.
There are many inconveniences and extremely low efficiency in doing things in the capital in winter. If the problem cannot be solved in time, even if we have raised three months of food and grass now, it will be exhausted, so it is absolutely impossible to wait until January before setting off."
Jiang Meiliang shook his head and said.
"Miss, don't we have enough food and grass for the three cities of Guiyuan, Suiyuan and Jinyuan for half a year? You might as well not go back to the capital for the time being!"
Yun'er never wanted Jiang Meiliang to return to Beijing. She had a vague feeling that once Jiang Meiliang returned to Beijing this time, it would be difficult for him to come back.
"Definitely not! The supplies in the three cities can only supply one hundred thousand soldiers for half a year. Now the Wu State is gathering a large army. Once the war starts, there will be more troops at the border. The little food and grass is just a drop in the bucket.
The most important thing is to inform the court of the military situation at the border and increase the number of troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, in winter, heavy snow will block the mountains. Once the Wu Kingdom goes to war, the border is likely to be breached, and at the very least it will cause huge casualties."
Jiang Meiliang said helplessly.
How could she not know that returning to the capital this time was full of dangers, and the battle for imperial power had become intense. The Taiwei Mansion had not taken sides for a long time, and it was still safe for the time being, making it a target for the princes to win over.
But now the situation is getting clearer and clearer. The sixth prince is becoming more and more powerful, and the prince is almost alone. The only chance of winning is that the emperor can regain control of the government.
However, the government has been controlled by the queen and the prime minister. Ordinary people cannot see the emperor at all. They cannot even be sure whether the emperor is dead or alive. It is almost impossible for the emperor to regain control of the government.
The only turning point can only be for her, the border commander, to return to the capital. In this case, the emperor must summon him as long as he is still alive. The queen and the prime minister will never dare to obstruct it, otherwise the Taiwei has the right to issue military remonstrances.
The reason why the Queen and the Prime Minister dare not take action to depose the Crown Prince is mainly because they have no military power, because the military power in the capital is controlled by the Taiwei.
They did not dare to touch the Taiwei, because the border military power was in the hands of Jiang Meiliang. Once they attacked the Taiwei, they were also afraid that the elite border troops would ask for an explanation.
However, the capital's military strength is not limited to the guards, but also the Forbidden Army and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion, which are exclusive military forces for the royal family.
The Forbidden Army has long been infiltrated by the Queen and has become her cronies.
The Tiger Cavalry Camp has always been under the personal control of the prince, which is why the queen has not dared to attack the prince.
But no matter what, the Taiwei is nominally the Grand Marshal of the country's troops. Once the Taiwei launches military remonstrance, the Imperial Guards and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion cannot stop the 200,000 garrison of the capital.
Therefore, Jiang Meiliang's return to Beijing may be a breakthrough.
Theoretically speaking, the queen should not want her to return to Beijing, but she issued three imperial edicts to urge her and threatened to suspend the food and salary supply. This was obviously not in their interests.
But why do they still do this?
Then there are only two possibilities.
First, they would never let Jiang Meiliang reach the capital safely and intercept him halfway. Once successful, they would gain the most.
Second, the imperial edict was not issued by the Queen, and the suspension of food and salary was naturally not their order.
