(The awesome third update is here! When have you ever seen me update three times in a row! Where are the red tickets? Today’s goal: I won’t stop until the red tickets exceed 12,000!)
The general situation in Jiangning has been decided, and the next step is to spread the edict on Pegasus and announce it to the world.
At this time, the local government has missed the opportunity to persuade the government to enter the table. They can only submit a congratulation table to recognize the status of the new emperor and the Jiangning Center. Anyone who insists on not expressing his position at this time is either relying on his own power and using the congratulatory table as a bargaining chip.
Or they have different ambitions and are waiting for Jiang Ning to send troops to fight...
Although the imperial edict was drafted and issued on the night of the 6th, well-informed people such as Deng Yu, Dong Yuan, Meng Yishan, Chen Huawen and others sent envoys to Jiangning in the early morning of the 7th to present congratulations.
Although it is not as much as the effort of supporting him, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will always offer amnesty to the world to express his feelings. If he still wants to complain, just blame them for not having the ability to make the final decision like Huaidong.
Of course, before this, no one would dare to easily persuade the emperor to enter the country. If the emperor expresses wrong feelings, it would be worth the loss to settle the matter in advance. Even if everyone believes that the only option is to make King Ning the emperor in the end, the matter of persuading the emperor to enter the country must be discussed.
Generations.
Dong Yuan, Deng Yu and others are obviously considered to be members of Yue Lengqiu's family, so they cannot go beyond Yue Lengqiu to persuade them to enter.
Chen Huawen, Meng Yishan and others were obviously part of the Wu Party, so they could not go beyond Chen Xiyan. Yu Xinyuan went to the table alone to persuade him to join.
Lin Fu and Lin Xuwen went over Gu Wuchen's advice and tried to gain support. Even if all parties tried their best to conceal the affairs of the Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu, discerning people in the officialdom also knew that Lin Gu had disclosed it for some unknown reason.
break.
Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu were teachers and students, Weng and son-in-law, two core figures of the Dongyang clan. It was originally a good story widely circulated in Jiangning. The public break between the teacher and student, Weng and son-in-law, whether it was the surrender of Emperor Chongguan
After the water died, King Ning supported the new emperor, and Jiangning became the most exciting topic of conversation outside the imperial capital.
Within the Dongyang Township Party, the break between Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen was even more eye-catching than the new emperor's ascension to the throne. This involved the issue of alignment within the Dongyang faction.
As the temporary auxiliary minister, Lin Xuwen had to participate in discussions on many major events such as the funeral, the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the establishment of the capital, the establishment of the country's system, and the establishment of the reign name. The determination of such core policies could only be discussed in Prince Ning's palace and was approved by Prince Ning.
The final decision can only be made after everyone agrees.
From the time he secretly returned to Jiangning on the afternoon of the 5th, Lin Xuwen did not sleep a wink for twenty-four hours. It was not until noon on the 7th that he dragged his tired body out of Prince Ning's Mansion and returned to his residence.
Although he was tired, Lin Xuwen was in a very excited mood because things could go so smoothly and the mess was solved quickly.
For Lin Xuwen, Jiang Ning is familiar yet unfamiliar.
Before Lin Xuwen passed the imperial examination, he lived in Jiangning for a long time, and he often did things like prostitutes and concubines. After he passed the imperial examination, he went to Yanjing to prepare for the examination and lived in Yanjing.
It took nearly four years to pass the Jinshi examination. After that, he served as a Beijing official for nearly ten years and served in Jinhai for three years. Counting it all together, it was almost seventeen years since he left Jiangning and did not come back.
The once romantic young man is now a middle-aged man with sparse hair. How can Lin Xuwen not be moved by emotion?
The residence arranged by Sun Wenbing for Lin Xuwen was also Lin Xuwen's old residence in Jiangning. After Lin Xuwen left Jiangning, Lin Mengde moved his family there; Lin Mengde went to Chongzhou, and this house remained empty here.
Compared with Lin Xuwen's status as prime minister, this house seemed small, old, and not luxurious enough. Sun Wenbing waited for Lin Xuwen to get out of the car, and saw Lin Xuwen looking at the mottled writing on the courtyard door with emotion, and said: "Young Master.
If you feel nostalgic, buy the yards on the left and right another day and open them up..."
"You don't have to go to such trouble. It's good to live in such a spacious place..." Lin Xuwen said. The establishment of King Ning as emperor can only be said to have temporarily stabilized the overall situation. The intrigues behind it will not be less. In addition to taking care of daily life
Outsiders, there is no need to move a small family with dozens of children to Jiangning. Such a big yard is enough.
"The eldest son said it's good, so it's good," Sun Wenbing said. "The third son has sent people over several times. Do you want to send someone over to tell him that you are back?"
Sun Wenbing was talking about Lin Tingli's eldest son, Lin Xulu. With such a sudden change, the Dongyang Township Party was like ants on a hot pot. They didn't know what went wrong between Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen, and they wanted to break up openly. Lin Xulu, who knew the truth of the matter, was even more shocked.
Being confused and at a loss, many things could only be discussed with Lin Xuwen, but Lin Xuwen must stay in Prince Ning's palace to discuss matters such as the new emperor's enthronement.
"The third child!" Lin Xuwen frowned slightly. Dongyang is closest to Jiangning. Even if Dongyang is not informed here, Dongyang should rush to Dongyuan and Meng Yishan to deliver the congratulatory form to Jiangning - Dongyang doesn't have it until now.
The movement meant that his second uncle, Lin Tingli, had previously convinced Gu Wuchen that he wanted to participate in the establishment of a new emperor. Now, he might have been deceived by his plan and thrown into chaos!
Lin Xuwen sighed softly and said to Sun Wenbing: "Send someone to invite the third child over."
Sun Wenbing was Huaidong's liaison in Jiangning before and was responsible for Jiyun Society's affairs in Jiangning. After Lin Xuwen arrived in Jiangning, Sun Wenbing was naturally Lin Xuwen's first assistant.
Sun Wenbing sent someone to notify Lin Xulu, and he accompanied Lin Xuwen into the house. In less than a blink of an eye, Lin Xulu chased in from behind. He did not shy away from Sun Wenbing's presence and asked Lin Xuwen: "What on earth is going on? Even if Huaidong fights
When you have made up your mind to establish King Ning, why don't you give a warning in advance? Do you have to make everyone fall out and make outsiders laugh before you applaud?"
"Third brother," Lin Xuwen didn't blame Lin Xulu for his bad tone. His brothers turned against each other, let alone cousins. What's more, it was about deposing the king of the world? He looked at Lin Xulu and said, "Let's not talk about you.
Will you give up your ambition to support King Ning? Even if you are persuaded to support King Ning together, how can you explain to the new emperor that King Lu stayed in Qingzhou quietly for a month? Don't blame Huaidong for being ruthless. The Gu family and his son will
Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu snatched it from Huaidong. At the end of the day, a group of you negotiated terms, and finally showed your face to Huaidong and forced Huaidong to board your pirate ship. You have already made a deep mistake! If you are today
Those who came to question me and Huaidong, I think my words have been clear enough!"
Lin Xuwen opened his mouth and said, Lin Xulu lost the aggressive momentum when he first entered the yard and said in a calm tone: "My father was also confused for a moment. He only thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Huaidong and the Lin family. I advise you not to
I refused to listen. Alas, I didn't expect Huaidong to make such a decisive move, which caught people off guard..." Lin Xulu first distanced himself.
After hearing this, Sun Wenbing sighed inwardly: Even the brothers of the Lin family refused to believe that Huaidong made such a decision for the sake of the overall situation. Outsiders would even regard him as an ungrateful villain who stabbed him in the back.
Lin Xulu didn't care what Sun Wenbing thought. He chose his words carefully, thinking that the matter had reached this point and the key was how to save it, rather than trying to stalemate the relationship with his words.
"Have you sent your second uncle's congratulations?" Lin Xuwen asked.
"I keep it in my arms, but I always come to ask my brother for your opinion..." Lin Xulu said.
King Ning's rightful name has been determined, including the Gu family, father and son, and the Liang family must bow their heads, rather than fight each other - Huaidong clearly supports King Ning, relying only on the Liang family, the Gu family and his son are in Shandong and Hezhong
Are those troops qualified to directly support King Lu as emperor in Qingzhou?
Although Huaidong's actions caught Lin Xulu and Lin Tingli off guard, Huaidong's role was too important, and there was no reason to follow the Gu family and his son, the Liang family and Huaidong's same clan to kill each other. Since Huaidong clearly supported King Ning, although Dongyang was very passive,
I was very annoyed, and after repeated weighing, I put Gu Wuchen aside first and decided to support Prince Ning on the throne.
However, Dongyang's actions have been slow for a long time after all, and he had a tacit understanding with the Gu family, his son, and the Liang family in supporting King Lu, and he was also worried about being liquidated afterwards. Lin Xulu eagerly waited for Lin Xuwen to come back to talk about it. At present, Dongyang could be protected.
The only one who doesn't settle the accounts with Qiu Hou is Huaidong.
"Send the congratulatory form to Prince Ning's Mansion first, and then talk about other matters when you come back," Lin Xuwen said.
The Gu family's father and son are like mud in their crotches, which is either feces or feces. Huaidong must draw a clear line with the Gu family's father and son. At least Dongyang is not directly involved.
Dongyang's power is not strong, and it has no particularly big ambitions that would directly conflict with Huaidong's interests. It is just that it can be said that it is a little unclear in terms of political choices and judgments.
On the issue of establishing the Qingzhou Army, the differences between Huaidong and the Gu family were already obvious. Outsiders could not understand it, and Dongyang was not aware of it at all, so he was a little slow. If Dongyang had been aware of it, he would have been a bit slow in supporting the establishment.
, he shouldn't have agreed to Gu Wuchen's conditions so hastily. But it's okay, Dongyang has learned this lesson, and he can learn to be smarter in the future.
Furthermore, if Huaidong fails to protect Dongyang, it will cut off an arm of itself; in addition to protecting Dongyang, Huaidong must also win over the Dongyang Township Party and make it clear that Huaidong and the Lin family are the dominant forces in the Dongyang faction.
After hearing what Lin Xuwen said, Lin Xulu did not waste any time and hurriedly went to Prince Ning's Mansion in person to present the congratulatory form for the new emperor.
****************
Huaidong was the first to stand up and support King Ning. The news came to Jiangning before noon on the 6th. Even though Gu Wuchen was unable to escape in Jiangning, there were others who immediately sent horses to report to Qingzhou. In order to avoid alerting the snake, Huaidong
Huaisi did not make any additional arrangements, and the news reached Qingzhou at noon on the 8th.
When the news reached Laizhou, Chen Yuanliang, Zuo Guitang, Wu Jinzhou and others were sitting in the hall with Gao Zongting, arguing over the conditions for supporting King Lu. Yang Pu came in with the letter, and Chen Yuanliang opened it and read it.
After that, his face suddenly changed with shock, and he was about to poke Gao Zongting's face with his halberd finger: "Huaidong is so cruel!" He spurted out a mouthful of blood. Gao Zongting did not move away, and blood spurted out from his left shoulder.
