"I am the adopted daughter of Yongtai Bo Song Gong. I was not abandoned by Pengcheng County Duke and was appointed as Dian Shu. She has served in the military department for many years. There is no one to take care of the Queen Mother. Pengcheng County Lord specially ordered me to serve the Queen Mother.
Sent!" Gu Junxun and other female family members moved to Dongyuan to greet the Queen Mother. Song Jia bowed and took over the family...
Queen Mother Liang was full of doubts. The Song family only came to Huaidong during the war in Eastern Fujian. How could Song Fu's adopted daughter have been working by Lin Fu's side for a long time? With such a beautiful and wonderful person, Lin Fu Shan really left her behind.
Is it so easy to do everything with a book by your side?
Song Jia also had troubles that she couldn't tell. She and She Mingyue were captured in the mountain temple. Later, the She family sent people to assassinate them, and then she gave up her body and mind to Lin Fu. The morals of the world are "obey your father at home and your husband when you get married." Don't
It is said that the She family sent people to assassinate her and she would not be condemned. Even if she did not die immediately when she was captured, it was already her fault, and it was her fault. - The Song family attached to Huaidong is true.
, Song Jia’s true identity will never be revealed.
But Song Jia couldn't do it without an identity, so Lin Fu came up with a compromise. Song Jia turned from Song Fu's biological daughter to an adopted daughter.
In addition to a very limited number of parties involved, how many people knew the inside story? Even within the Song family, only a few or five key people knew about it? Even though the Queen Mother Liang was full of suspicion, she had to believe it. Even if she didn't believe it, she couldn't accept Peng Cheng.
Gong Linfu stood next to her and pressed down the nails.
When Miao Shuo and other courtiers heard this, they were suddenly surprised: No wonder the Song family surrendered to Huaidong so easily, it turned out that they had colluded with each other for a long time.
When Lin Fu learned in Hangzhou that Gao Zongting led his troops to defend the imperial city, he knew that the situation in Huaidong was already under control. It was not difficult to expel the Zhejiang and Fujian troops from Jiangning. The really difficult thing was to do it as quickly as possible.
Calm down the situation in Jiangning.
To settle the situation in Jiangning, it is not enough to simply send troops to occupy Jiangning City.
It is true that Huaidong's soldiers and horses can directly control Jiangning City, but including the two-Huaihe salt tax, the annual tax revenue of the original Jiangning regime of up to 7 to 8 million taels is not something that Huaidong can immediately control.
It is true that Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning and fled to the west, destroying the Great Wall. But after all, he was still the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the Lord of the Universe. Officials including the six ministries fled to Luzhou. After the Huaidong soldiers and horses occupied Jiangning, they were able to defend the city of Jiangning.
, but without a righteous name, asked all prefectures and counties to send taxes to Jiangning.
Maybe the local governments and counties will not escort the tax money and grain to Luzhou. It is more likely that they will intercept the tax money first and wait and see the situation...
In order to maintain its hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Huaidong has used its current financial resources to the extreme. However, if the military and political systems such as Huaixi, Jinghu, and Jiangzhou Army are to maintain operation, Jiangning needs to allocate sufficient money and food on a quarterly basis.
OK... Without money and food, no matter how much Dong Yuan, Liu Wenmu, Yue Lengqiu and others take the overall situation into consideration and no matter how capable they are, the situation in Jinghu, Huaixi and Xiangzhou may quickly collapse - and they will only be called the She Family in the end.
In Jiangxi and Hunan areas, if they gain more breathing space, Luo Xiancheng's Changle army will take the opportunity to cause chaos and occupy Jinghu. It is even less likely that the Yanlu will give up the golden opportunity of chaos in the south.
Especially after autumn, the local prefectures and counties have not yet handed over the most important autumn tax this year. Jiangning's supply to Jinghu and Huaixi and other places has also been cut off for nearly two months. Yue Lengqiu led 40,000 troops to
Chizhou is also temporarily relying on Dongyang Prefecture for support - this situation will continue for another three to five months. If the local prefecture and county withhold this year's autumn tax for three to five months, big troubles may occur at any time...
Lin Fu must restore the operation of the court as quickly as possible, but Emperor Yongxing obviously will not bow his head easily and return to Jiangning to fall into the trap of Huaidong. If Emperor Yongxing refuses to return to Jiangning in Luzhou, the situation will be delayed.
In the next three to five months, the whole situation will become quite difficult - the righteous name of Queen Mother Liang will be particularly important at this time.
With the Empress Dowager Liang here, Huaidong will have the right to directly spread imperial edicts to the world. Even more extreme, they can even directly establish Hailing Prince Yuan Jianhai as the supervisory state, and re-establish a temporary dynasty in Jiangning with Lin Xuwen, Huang Jinnian and others as the leaders.
Tang Lai maintained the operation of the entire system and ordered local prefectures and counties to pay the autumn tax money to Jiangning first.
With their righteous status, Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan, Liu Wenmu and others might still be able to get along with Huaidong; without their righteous status, Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and others would definitely bow to Huaidong?
At the same time, it is obvious that Queen Mother Liang will not be a very good puppet who will keep her peace. She will soon understand her own value, and will in turn blackmail Huaidong into making concessions. She may even try to break away from Huaidong.
Mastery - Lin Fu needs Queen Mother Liang to leave for Jiangning immediately, but Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde and others all perform their respective duties, and they cannot ask Gu Junxun to follow the Queen Mother closely. Gu Yingxiu is also limited by her status and cannot directly serve as the Queen Mother's side.
Apart from Song Jia, there is no other more suitable candidate for the female official in Huaidong who can closely control the Empress Dowager Liang.
After learning in Hangzhou that Gao Zongting had led his troops to retreat to the imperial city, Lin Fu discussed with Song Fu and others and decisively sent Song Jia back to Chongzhou to "return the court to the Empress Dowager."
Dominating the world, leading troops to fight, and fighting on the battlefield are always only part of it.
************
"It's okay to ask the Aijia to leave for Jiangning immediately," Queen Mother Liang opened her turbid white eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "but the Aijia old woman has never seen the world, how can she preside over state affairs? The Aijia to Chongzhou
Later, I heard that Shen Rong, the prefect of Weiyang, was quite famous for his governance. The emperor abandoned Jiangning to patrol Huaixi.
The envoy Liu Tingzhou also has talents that can be developed...I think they can work with Pengcheng County Duke to share the worries of national affairs for the Ai family!"
Queen Mother Liang ignored Song Jia and looked at Gu Junxun.
Although Gu Junxun is said to be virtuous, military affairs are not her strong point. Qin Chengzu, Lin Mengde and others were excluded by the Queen Mother, and Lin Fu was eager to ask the Queen Mother to return to the court and preside over the overall situation. The only one who could make the decision on this matter was Song Jia.
——This was also Lin Fu’s original intention when he sent Song Jia to rush back to Chongzhou.
Gu Junxun was uncertain about the conditions proposed by the Empress Dowager Liang to return to the court, but he agreed hastily because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would immediately draft an edict. It turned out that if Huaidong forced changes, he would lose his moral reputation and would have to bear more expectations.
Regarding the risks outside, Gu Qunxun just said: "The queen mother doesn't understand this matter of family and country, and I can't understand it even more..."
At this time, everyone in Chongzhou did not know that Chen Xiyan had passed away. Song Jia stood beside him and said with a smile: "Who in the world dares to disobey the Queen Mother's decree? But the Queen Mother is still in court, and the siege of Jiangning can almost be solved. Prime Minister Chen is in Jiangning
In the city, since the Queen Mother admires Prime Minister Chen so much, why not go back to Jiangning to discuss with Prime Minister Chen before deciding on other strategies? In addition to Prime Minister Chen, there are many officials and noble relatives who stayed in Jiangning, and I think they are all loyal and trustworthy people...
…" Looking at the Queen Mother, I saw that although she was skinny and her eyes were cloudy, she was really a very powerful character. No wonder she had turned her hands into clouds and made rain for so many years. I thought that she really knew how to pick people, and how many times she had picked them.
All of them are people who make Huaidong feel extremely unhappy. The way they speak also secretly undermines the relationship between her and Gu Junxun...
Song Jia was not worried about what the main wife would think. She was already being ostracized in the inner house. She took a step back and said that Lin Fu felt like a mirror. How many women in the inner house could compete with each other?
Listening to Song Jia beating her repeatedly and insisting on delaying the matter, Empress Dowager Liang frowned secretly and simply closed her eyes, not believing that if she didn't move, Huaidong could tie her to Jiangning...
"Then I've agreed to be the Queen Mother, so I'll ask someone to make arrangements for my return to the court!" Song Jia said, standing up and going to make arrangements, making it clear that the overlord had the intention of forcing the bow. Prince Hailing, inside and outside, Almost all of them were replaced by people from Huaidong. The lady in charge of Dongyuan was none other than Zhao Hu’s mother, Zhao Chen...
Queen Mother Liang opened her eyes, glared at Song Jia with a resentful look, and said: "Nanyang and Haozhou may not be concerned, but when we sail from Chongzhou, we have to pass Weiyang Mansion, and the Ai family would like to meet Shen Rong. ?”
The Liang family was trapped in Chongzhou and knew some news from the outside. She was worried that Huaidong had deliberately leaked it to them. If she didn't understand anything and went to Jiangning rashly, even if Lin Fu followed her on all terms, she would not I wonder if it's possible that Huaidong dug a hole intentionally for her to jump into.
It has long been no secret that Shen Rong was an enemy of Huaidong. Yuan Guizheng was beyond reach, so Liang insisted on meeting Shen Rong before entering Jiangning.
"The Empress Dowager sent a message today. Perhaps Lord Shen can rush to the riverside to meet the fleet when it passes Weiyang..." As long as Shen Rong is not allowed to lead troops into Jiangning, there will be no big problem, and Song Jia cannot let the old witch It would be too ugly to have everything stagnated here and help people be kidnapped and taken to Jiangning.
"Prince Hailing is also very filial to the Ai family. As the Ai family gets older, they miss the past and can't bear to be apart. There are also a few old people who are used to doing things..." Queen Mother Liang chattered like a family, obviously she didn't want to She and King Hailing were separated and controlled by Huaidong.
Song Jian agreed to whatever he could agree to, and if he couldn't agree, he made an excuse to drag it to Jiangning for further discussion. The ship was already ready at Dongjiang Pier in Xincheng, waiting for the Queen Mother to move it.
As far as Lin Fu is concerned, as long as the conditions can be put on the table, they will not be harmful. He is afraid that the Empress Dowager Liang and King Hailing will conspire behind the scenes - the current situation is very fragile and cannot withstand too many conspiracies. Conspiracy, Song Jia came here, mainly to guard against the Empress Dowager Liang, and King Hailing secretly contacted other forces, plotting something, and there were no restrictions on others...
After discussing it here, they immediately prepared to move and return to the court. The chariots, horses, and guards were also prepared.
King Hailing and the Queen Mother came to Chongzhou to seek refuge in poverty, and they had no precious possessions to take away. Even though they were serving personally, except for Miao Shuo, Zuo Guitang, and Princess Yangxin Yuan Yan, there were only three maids of considerable age. He always accompanied him; except for his concubine Tian and his youngest son, King Hailing had no other trustworthy people around him. The head of the palace, Shi Gaoqiang, was sent by Emperor Yongxing.
Even if Gao Qiang expressed 10,000 loyalties at this time, they would not dare to trust him. Who knew whether he would express 100,000 loyalties in front of Huaidong? But Gao Qiang also wanted to accompany him to Jiangning.
