It is said that Liu Aiyun led his fan friends to deliver meals to the emperor's ministers who were trapped in the imperial mausoleum for more than ten days. Two more troops came over. Seeing that Cao Datong was surrounded, he was in a dilemma. Reading at Zero Point
At dusk that day, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old finally appeared among the people delivering food at Liu Aiyun Fan Club. When they returned after delivering food, a soldier shouted: "Hey, that little fat guy can climb trees.
What?"
The young man said happily: "Yes! I've known it since I was a child!" Then he pouted and said, "I'm not fat! You have never seen my brother, he is fat."
The soldier said: "Come with me and help me get something."
The young man agreed and followed.
The soldier led him into the commander's tent. He saw that Cao Datong was full of anger and had a sad face. He raised his head and glanced at him: "Sit down."
The young man was not polite and sat down on the stool in front of him.
Cao Datong asked: "What's your surname?"
"Zhao."
Cao Datong nodded: "Master Zhao."
Mr. Zhao said crisply: "Hey! General Cao, do you have some snacks? Is there any tea?"
Cao Datong asked: "Where do you get the snacks in the army?" He ordered someone to serve tea.
Mr. Zhao muttered, "How poor!" Then he asked, "What did the general call me for?"
Cao Datong coughed and said: "I saw that the young master was very knowledgeable that day, and I would like to ask you for advice."
Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "No need to be so formal. I also look forward to taking my father home early. It's best for us to win together. May I ask the general what the current situation is? No, you should tell me the first thing first.
Otherwise, I can't figure out the reason. A general will never rebel without any reason. But who inspired him? Since the general can trap the imperial mausoleum, he must be a brave and resourceful person. Didn't he think about what will happen next before starting the rebellion?
What to do?”
Cao Datong's face turned red and he said: "I was thinking...to force the saint to write an edict of forgiveness of sins...I don't want him to have to put on a stinking air and refuse to agree to it."
"Ahem, cough..." Mr. Zhao choked on a sip of tea and coughed for a long time before saying, "You, you, you... Ahem, a general like you, ahem, general, actually believed that a saint wrote an imperial edict for the forgiveness of sins.
Will you accept the account later?"
Cao Datong was stunned and said: "You have no joke."
Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes: "That is the Eternal Mingjun. If you look through the entire history books, how many Eternal Mingjuns are there? Besides, do you think we are the Eternal Mingjun now?"
Cao Datong was stunned.
Mr. Zhao drank tea and waited for him to recover. After waiting for a long time, he was still dumbfounded, but his dark face turned redder. He asked curiously: "Is it difficult to understand this? Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
, the emperor is inherently incapable of keeping faith, and everything is only controlled by the court."
It took a long time for Cao Datong to hold back one sentence: "Isn't it true that since ancient times, you have never joked about your words?"
Mr. Zhao said: "The people who wrote the drama reviews hoped that you would not have any jokes, so they wrote them in the drama reviews. Because the people who wrote the drama reviews were all subjects. The emperor has the final say on the emperor's affairs, and the subjects have the final say.
Calculate?"
Cao Datong choked again.
Mr. Zhao looked at his wife and said, "How about you start from the beginning with me? I'll help you sort it out."
Cao Datong finished two bowls of tea in a row and frowned again, as if he didn't know where to start.
Mr. Zhao sighed: "Is it because the saint didn't give you military pay or food or because he wanted to kill your whole family?"
Cao Datong raised his head and stared at him: "How do you know?"
Mr. Zhao spread his hands: "Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to rebel?"
Cao Datong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! It's just that the government forced the people to rebel!" Then he talked about cause and effect.
It turned out that the saint had stopped his military pay for a while, but there was no shortage of food and grass. Until about a month ago, someone told him that the old saint was dying. The saint was afraid that he would be disobedient, so he cut off his military pay and sent people to spread rumors about him.
He embezzled it. At first, Cao Datong was just resentful, and he didn't expect it. A few days later, he got another letter, telling him that the saint had collected all the evidence of his crime, and listed more than a dozen crimes.
Everything is true, just waiting for the Supreme Emperor Long Yu to return to the west and destroy all his families. The man said that he had been saved by General Cao for something at some time. Now he happened to know about it and came here to tell him. He hoped that the general would either escape early or escape early.
It's an attempt to seek amnesty.
Mr. Zhao thought for a while and asked: "The general's family has probably been well settled. In that case, wouldn't it be better to escape early?"
A trace of cruelty appeared on Cao Datong's face: "Escape? The Hunjun wants to kill you, where can you escape? Anyway, I only have one life, even if I die, I will catch up with the Hunjun."
Mr. Zhao glanced at him: "With such an anxious and angry temper, it's no wonder that people specifically picked you for provocation. That's all, now that the matter has come to this, what does the general think? Anyway, even if the saint forgives your sins, it will not be truly forgiven.
, there will inevitably be a settlement of accounts later in the year.”
Cao Datong cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please give me some advice!"
Mr. Zhao said sternly: "Of course we can only escape! But we can't escape with so many people. My father and Liu's friends, all the princes and princes are useless. You only took the saint with you, and you used the emperor to open the way and escape to a place."
If you are in a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, you will either fall into the enemy's trap or become a bandit on the island. As for how you will escape from danger in the future, it is up to the saint. It should be noted that a country cannot be without a king for a day. As long as the saint is taken away from the capital by you, he will
He will be afraid. He is afraid that the ministers in the court will establish a new king, and that his younger brother and son will come to snatch his throne. The longer the time goes by, the more afraid he will be. At that time, he will agree to whatever you want from him, and he will think for you.
If you have any more ideas, you can also tell him that you can take this opportunity to see how many princes and princes in the court are loyal and how many are hiding their ambitions."
Cao Datong's eyes lit up: "Yes! What Mr. Sir said is absolutely true! That Hunjun is most afraid of losing his throne!" He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sir!"
Mr. Zhao pouted and said, "I was still a gentleman just now, but now I have become a little gentleman after giving you advice."
Cao Datong laughed and ordered people to send him out.
That night, Cao Datong led his men into the imperial mausoleum, captured the emperor alone, and set out to camp to leave. Gan Lei led his troops to block his way, so he tied the saint to the front of the formation and said with a ferocious smile: "Who
If you dare to block the road, I will kill him first!" Gan Lei was afraid that he would hurt Yu Ping'er by hitting the mouse, so he had to temporarily let his men out of the tight siege.
Gan Lei immediately led the people to death in person, still leading the saint on the horse, pointing at Gan Lei and said: "Don't shoot arrows randomly, otherwise you will have to blame me for killing the faint king?" He said to the saint again.
, "Can we establish a prince today? If we do, the prince will kill his father in the name of a thief, and he will be crowned tomorrow!"
The saint was scared to death, but when he heard this, he suddenly woke up and shouted: "No shooting! No weapons!"
Seeing that Mr. Zhao's plan worked, Gan Lei was overjoyed: "We will let you go when we are safe, otherwise why would we keep you? We still have to feed you."
The saint didn't care about his face anymore and shouted: "Let them go, let them go! Don't chase them!"
Gan Lei had no choice but to stop his troops. Of course he couldn't let them go, so he followed them from a distance.
As soon as Cao Datong left, the kings and ministers were safe. Some generals cut down pine branches and used them as torches. Regardless of the darkness, they helped the old and the young and rushed down the mountain.
During the days when they were trapped in the imperial mausoleum, Lin Hai and Su Zheng were mostly in one place. They were quite anxious at first, but after Liu Aiyun's fan club brought meals, they felt more at ease: only those stinky Jia family members could do such weird things.
The boy knew how to do it. Lin Hai went to comfort the saint several times. However, after waiting and waiting, the saint was still captured. The old man was very discouraged and helped Yang Song walk on the mountain road one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Suddenly there was a whistle, one long and one short. Yang Song was startled and looked around. Except for the officials who were making a fuss down the mountain and the female family members who often screamed, he didn't see anything strange. It was just that there were a few blue spots in the trees on the right.
The colored firefly flickered. He hesitated for a while and said: "Master, Mr. Su, there are many people here, let's go to the side for now." Lin Hai and Su Zheng were easy-going, so they listened to him. The three of them listened to him.
He led Mrs. Su and several servants to the right.
After walking for a while, a shadow suddenly jumped out of the darkness and clasped his fist towards Yang Song: "But he is the brother of the hero Yang Heng?"
Although Yang Song often received letters from Yang Heng over the years, he had never seen him once and missed him very much. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "I am exactly the same!"
The man could be vaguely identified as a young man, wearing night clothes commonly worn by Green Forest people. He said, "Master Yang Heng has asked me to come and rescue his brother and Master Lin."
Yang Song smiled and said: "Thank you so much, heroes. But now the rebels have withdrawn. I hope all of you will be able to return to Beijing safely."
The man said: "I think that the emperor has been kidnapped by others, and your adults may not be safe on this trip. Why don't we still escort you back to the capital. If there is an accident, there will be someone in the capital to take charge. I don't know what Master Lin wants."
Lin Hai was shocked: "Who is still disloyal?"
The man sneered and said: "The prince has not yet been established, and all the kings have different intentions. Who is loyal?"
Lin Hai thought for a moment and asked, "What do you know?"
The man said: "I don't know, I just followed the instructions of the hero Yang Heng to save you."
Lin Hai snorted: "Don't play tricks in front of me! Your surname is Ge, isn't it? Are you a boy from the Taiping Escort Bureau? You arrested me once in Yangzhou in the early years. Although you have grown up, I still remember your appearance.
.”
The man was speechless immediately. After a while, he smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Lin, you have such a good look, little Ge Qiao."
Lin Hai snorted again: "But Huan'er is the one causing trouble?"
Ge Qiao said: "Yes. Third Master Huan has already transferred all the people from the Taiping Escort Bureau. However, we are just some escorts. We can only deal with a few bandits who are doing ordinary robberies, but we have no way to deal with the serious imperial army. So.
I can only deliver some meals to you adults."
Lin Haixiao stroked his beard and looked at Su Zheng and said, "How's it going? My predictions couldn't be more wrong. Those people delivering food were indeed brought by them."
Su Zheng argued: "I obviously guessed it first!"
Ge Qiao and Yang Song looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "It's just that these days we have also been inquiring about the news in the military camp that came to rescue the driver, and we heard some strange things. Although we don't know the reason, I'm afraid something unexpected happened, so we came here to pick up the two of them.
Adults, please go down the mountain from the path, just in case. It’s best if nothing happens.”
Lin Hai and Su Zheng looked at each other, and Su Zheng said: "What this kid said makes sense. Is it just Huan'er's father?"
Ge Qiao said with a smile: "Just now an old escort has found Mr. Jia, and he is already about halfway up the mountain." Then he led them down the mountain from a side path.
All the nobles were frightened these days, and they were about to escape. They were still trapped, so no one had the eyes to look at others. They didn't light the torches, so Yang Song and a young man who came to help caught him.
Following Lin Hai, Ge Qiao and another person carried Su Zheng, followed by Mrs. Su and her family members, and walked away in the dark under the dim starlight without anyone else knowing.
After bumping to the bottom of the mountain, we climbed up another hillside, and saw a ruined temple in front of us. There were some young people wearing black night clothes guarding the temple. When Ge Qiao came, someone greeted him, "Ge Biaoshi!"
Qiao nodded slightly: "Brothers, it's hard work."
Lin Hai saw that they were all in high spirits and praised: "Who said that Jia Enhou's escort agency was wasted money? I think these children are very good."
When I entered the temple, I saw that although it was small, it was very clean and tidy. It was obvious that they had been stationed here for many days. Jia Zheng had been brought here. He came to his senses only when he saw his son. He was so frightened that he burst into tears. Jia Huan was comforting him.
He and the three old guys met each other. Although Su Zheng and Lin Hai had always despised Jia Zheng, they found him more pleasing to the eye after going through this difficult situation and meeting him again. Jia Huan asked the two gentlemen to ask questions and knew that they were in good health, but they were not.
Just eat when you're hungry.
Mrs. Su looked around for a while and asked, "Didn't Mr. Jia's wife come up the mountain?"
Jia Zhengdao: "I was suddenly kidnapped by the old escort, and no one else knew it."
Jia Huan said: "The eldest wife, the second wife, brother Zhen, brother Zhen, his wife, etc. are all in a pile. We can't get so many people to leave for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su knew that he sincerely did not want to save his aunt's mother, and she disapproved of it and gave him a look.
Jia Huan continued: "Besides, people talk too much. Those ladies and grandmothers are all pampered and pampered, which is completely different from the master's wife. Let them go down such a mountain road, it will be bad if they make a fuss and scream. After all, the rebels are already here
If they leave, there will be so many maids and women waiting for them, so nothing will happen to them."
Lin Hai quickly asked: "What are the strange words you heard?"
Jia Huan said: "It's not a strange thing to say, but it's not strange to say something." Naidao said, "We heard the soldiers who came to rescue him whisper," the general said, since the prince has not been established, then anyone can, why should he be the second child?
?' It is obvious that this general is not loyal to the Holy One, and I don't know which prince he belongs to. Since the Holy One is still in the hands of the thieves, I am afraid that these princes will be dishonest and cause some trouble, so I secretly picked up the two gentlemen here.
Come here. Don’t dare to disturb others too much.”
Lin Hai was shocked: "We must first try to inform the wise king about this matter!"
Jia Huan curled his lips and said: "Sir, please spare the wise king for now! He is the most difficult to do. It is wrong to help any nephew. If you help the wrong nephew, he will be the first to be repaired. If you can't protect him, he will not be as good as the prince next to him."
"
Su Zheng glared at him and said: "What do I teach you on weekdays? Loyalty to the emperor is the duty of a minister. Since you know that a prince may go astray, how can you ignore it?"
But Lin Hai shook his head: "A wise king has never been involved in military power. If the prince has men in his hands, he can't do anything. It's just that he has always been very wise, so what can he do if he can't keep them together?"
Jia Huan said with a smile: "I'll see tomorrow. We've been tired for so many days and it's time to take a break. Speaking of which, I'm much more tired than the gentlemen. You have to give me less homework in the future."
The old men laughed together, and Jia Zheng scolded: "You little evil beast who doesn't know how to praise..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Zheng refused: "Without this little evil beast, Mr. Jia, you would still be climbing up and down the mountain!"
Lin Hai laughed.
Jia Huan also laughed, went outside and helped bring some cotton rolls over, and said: "This is a sleeping bag, made by Cong'er according to the Western method. There is a well behind the temple, the water is not bad, and the outside has been cut
We've got firewood and are boiling water. I'll fetch water for you, sir. Go get some rest early."
Lin Hai took a look at the sleeping bag. He sewed the quilt into a big bag and put the person in it. It was quite interesting and he praised it several times. These days, the old man was really scared and restless. Now when he met his disciple,
There were so many young escorts guarding him outside, so he suddenly felt calm, stretched out his arms and legs, and comfortably let Jia Huan fetch water and come over to serve him, then he washed himself and got into his sleeping bag.
Early the next morning, a young man inquired about the news. All the princes and lords came down from the imperial mausoleum to Xiaoci County last night and stayed overnight in the county seat. At this time, Xiaoci County had been surrounded by General Li Guopei from Hebei.
It is said that they will be escorted back to the capital, but no one is allowed to come in or out at will. No need to ask, all the princes have just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.
