After requesting an order to leave the palace, Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang and Madam Blackshade, who disguised themselves as Cishou Palace envoys and stayed by the imperial concubine's side, did not leave the palace until noon and entered Prince Tan's Mansion on the east side of the palace to privately meet the people from Tanzhou.
"Master Marquis?!" Yao Xishui and the others were shocked when they walked into the inner palace of Prince Tan's palace and saw Princess Tan Princess Li Yao accompanying her father and Marquis of Xinchang Lipu sitting in the warm pavilion of Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
It turned out that if something shocking happened to her again, it would be extremely extraordinary for Chai Jian or Li Chong to rush back to report the news. She never thought that it would be Li Pu rushing back in person.
At this time, Li Pu was the right prime minister of Hunan Xingtai, and his status was extremely sensitive. If he did not show up in Tanzhou City for a few days, the news would spread everywhere and make a fuss. There was no way to hide what Anning Palace had announced in Tanzhou. Eyeliner.
Yao Xishui really couldn't imagine what happened that made Li Pu decide to secretly rush back to Jinling in person.
"It's good that the concubine Shi left the palace, otherwise we would have to go through a lot of trouble." Li Pu saw that the concubine Shi Concubine and his wife rushed out of the palace and rushed to Prince Tan's Mansion to meet him. He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said, "The matter of Shen He's poisoning , Han Qian and His Highness did not go through Yuan Guowei and Jiang Huo to secretly report to His Majesty, and we have been kept in the dark!"
"What?" Yao Xishui was so shocked that he almost jumped up at this moment. He suddenly wanted to understand why they couldn't figure out so many things after they arrived in Jinling?
Because they believed in their hearts that the third prince and Han Qian had poisoned Shen He to death, Jiang Huo secretly reported to Emperor Tianyou through Yuan Guowei.
Emperor Tianyou transferred Han Daoxun to serve as Jingzhao Yin. They even thought that this was a move made by Emperor Tianyou after knowing this and determined to make the third prince his heir.
Who could imagine that Han Qian and the third prince could hide such an important matter from this side?
"Why? What does Han Qian mean by instigating His Highness like this? Why did Han Daoxun leave Xuzhou and return to Beijing to serve as Jing Zhaoyin?" Mrs. Heisha couldn't suppress the shock in her heart and asked.
"Not only Shen He, the young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also Han Qian judged that Emperor Tianyou was deeply poisoned and his life was completely under the control of An Ning Palace. He believed that once the matter of Shen He's poisoning was reported secretly, even if he did not alert the snake, Emperor Tianyou would be in a hurry. He only mobilized Chuzhou soldiers and horses to cross the river, so he instigated His Highness to conceal the news in order to buy more time!" Li Pu said, "Han Daoxun was completely unaware of what Han Qian and His Highness were planning. And Han Daoxun was completely unaware of this matter. Before Qian went to Shu as an envoy, he did not expect that Emperor Tianyou would transfer his father to Jinling. He learned about it in Shu, so he had to send Zhao Wuji to Tanzhou to meet His Highness secretly and adjust the deployment. I was in Tanzhou. Because I felt that it was too strange for Han Qian to suddenly send Zhao Wuji back to see His Highness, and after questioning, Your Highness revealed the inside story!"
Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang, Madam Heisha and Madam Shifeiwang were all stunned. They all felt a chill running up their tailbones. They did not expect that Han Qian would dare to instigate the three of them in order to buy more time for the Dragon Bird Army. The prince told a huge lie!
Although the past four months have been quiet since Shen He went to Tanzhou to announce his decree, the left and right Longque Army and Zhuzhou Township Soldiers have completed the first round of training. Hunan's Xingtai jurisdiction over the eight states has been initially established. Yueyang | Shuiying is preparing to build They got up, but everyone was still shocked when they thought that Han Qian dared to instigate the third prince like this. At the same time, they could not suppress the anger of being teased in their hearts.
"I was worried that when Chai Jian or Li Chong came back, it would be difficult for you to make a prompt decision, so I took leave from His Highness and rushed back in person - Zhao Wuji has led a group of Han family soldiers to Jinling City to meet up with Han Daoxun. What happened in Lanting Lane in the past two days? " Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Li Pu breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the recent activities in Jinling City.
"Han Daoxun may have known about the poisoning of Emperor Tianyou!" Yao Xishui said hesitantly, thinking of Han Daoxun entering the palace in the morning, "Han Daoxun entered the palace in the morning, participated in the internal government bureau's deception of the market, and arrested the internal government bureau's chief minister Zhong Yuli. Go to Jingzhao Mansion, or inform about this..."
"Han Qian committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and punished the nine tribes without mercy. Will Han Daoxun secretly communicate the news to Emperor Tianyou?" Chun Shisanniang asked in disbelief.
"If he wasn't worried about this, why would Han Qian hide this matter from his father again?" Yao Xishui said.
"Yes, Han Daoxun is quite loyal and caring for the people, and he is a close friend of Shen Yang, Yang En and others. Han Qian and the third prince were afraid that they would insist on informing Emperor Tianyou, so they deliberately concealed the whole matter!" Li Pu said , "Since Han Daoxun has most likely informed Emperor Tianyou at this time, if they make the slightest move, they are likely to alert the snake and force the Anning Palace to jump over the wall in advance. Without further ado, we will leave the city and go to Changchun Palace immediately!"
It was an exception for the concubine to leave the palace upon request, and it was even more forbidden to leave the city privately. However, considering that the situation in Jinling could change drastically at any time, they did not have to worry about it that much.
"Jiang Huo may not have an easy time in this situation?" Yao Xishui frowned and said, "Has the Marquis returned with His Highness's warrant?"
The active guards of the Marriage Palace and the House of Tent are mainly stationed in Tanzhou with the third prince. In addition to the eunuchs and maids in the Tanwang Palace located on Fengxiang Street, a few guards are actually returned to Jinling to take charge of Jinyun Tower affairs. The moderation of ginger gain.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Huo would not interfere in the affairs of the inner palace, but Xinchang Hou Li Pu suddenly wanted to take Princess Tan Li Yao out of the city for refuge. Even if Li Pu was the biological father of Princess Tan Li Yao, it was impossible to follow Li Pu out of the palace and out of the city casually.
What's more, this matter also involves the imperial concubine?
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, was slightly startled. He hurried back, not expecting that the situation was already so critical. Although he could make the decision on many things, Jiang Huo might not be able to let his daughter and concubines be taken out of the city.
"I'm here, Jiang Huo dares to stop me?" Mrs. Shifei Wang frowned and urged Li Pu's daughter to simply pack her bags and follow them out of the city.
As soon as the imperial concubine finished speaking, several guards looked over from outside the Xiaoxiang courtyard. They saw that Jiang Huo, who had just received the news, had hurried back and came here to see what was going on.
Jiang Huo confirmed that it was Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, who came back quietly from Tanzhou. He was also surprised and asked: "Why did the Marquis return to Jinling? Where are you going?"
"Let's go out of the city and stay at Changchun Palace for a few days." Xinchang Hou Li Pu said with a gloomy expression.
Jiang Huo looked at everyone suspiciously for a while, and then asked the concubine, "Is your concubine going to leave the city too?"
"Is it your turn to ask about my affairs?" Shi Fei asked angrily.
"I don't dare," Jiang Huo said in a neither arrogant nor humble tone. "If there is no order from His Highness, I will send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inform you. After a while, I will personally escort the empress and the princess to Changchun Palace for temporary residence."
Xinchang Hou Li Pu frowned. He didn't expect that just as Yao Xishui expected, they would be stuck at Jiang Huo's level.
Yao Xishui thought that Han Qian should have expected that the situation in Jinling might take a turn for the worse, and asked Jiang Huo: "Mr. Jiang Huo, when you return to Jinling to take charge, can Han Qian or His Highness have a secret order for you on how to deal with drastic changes in Jinling?"
"
Seeing the return of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, Jiang Huo also realized that the situation was serious. He pondered for a moment, took out a wax pill from his arms, and said, "If the incident happens suddenly and Jiang Huo cannot make a decision, His Highness and Mr. Han will tell Jiang Huo to remove it."
secret order!"
Seeing that the third prince indeed had a secret order to give to Jiang Huo, Xinchang Hou Li Pu reached out and took the wax pill directly, rubbed it open and took out the secret message hidden inside. He only saw a few lines of small words in the letter: "If the situation is critical, please escort the princess out of the city quickly and inform Xinchang."
The Hou Mansion, Li Zhigao, Zhou Peng and other generals have come to the school, so there is no delay; if everything is not decided, you can discuss it with Feng Liao!"
"Feng Liao is also in Jinling?" Jiang Huo thought that Feng Liao was sent by Han Qian to take charge of affairs elsewhere, but he didn't expect that Feng Liao had been sent back to Jinling by Han Qian!
Although the secret letter did not have a seal, there was no doubt that the wax pill was handed over to him by the third prince and Han Qian personally. Jiang Huo was stunned for a while, secretly feeling that although the reason was not stated in the secret letter, the third prince and Han Qian predicted that the situation in Jinling might be possible.
How critical it will be can be seen from these arrangements.
"Han Qian is somewhat confident, and he even asked Feng Liao and Mr. Jiang to protect the young princess and the generals when things were critical," Chun Shisanniang said with a slight smile, "But it seems that he has forgotten about the queen.
.”
Yao Xishui saw that Concubine Shi's face suddenly darkened, but she had no intention of adding fuel to the fire at this time and asked Jiang Huo:
"We are escorting the young princess and the concubine out of the city to Changchun Palace now. Will Mr. Jiang stop us?"
Jiang Huo asked, "Can Miss Yao tell Jiang Huo what happened?"
Jiang Huonai was an old official from the Internal Affairs Bureau. How could Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, dare to let him know the whole truth?
He directly stopped the conversation to prevent Yao Xishui from revealing more of the inside story: "The secret order was not mentioned, but His Highness felt that there were some things that Mr. Jiang would be better off not knowing for the time being."
Jiang Huo hesitated for a while and then said: "Excuse me, Lord, to escort the princess out of the city. I will go to Lanting Lane to see Feng Liao."
Jiang Huo insisted not to go out of the city with them. As long as he did not hinder them, he was willing to meet Feng Liao. Marquis of Xinchang Li Pu would not force him. They not only left the city with just the few people in front of them, but also wanted to send all the young people in the Hou Mansion and the Longque Army to the city.
Notify all the family members staying in Jinling City and take them out of the city in time.
…………
…………
When Jiang Huo arrived at Lanting Alley, Feng Liao and Zhao Wuji had just escaped.
Han Daoxun left Lanting Alley in the early morning and never came back. In the afternoon, he sent someone over to order Han Laoshan to take Zhou Dai to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
At this time, Feng Liao had the opportunity to persuade the guards to let him and Zhao Wuji go, show Han Qian's secret letter, and regain control of the guards in the palace. However, at this time, Han Daoxun, Zhao Kuo, and Han Laoshan were in Jingzhao with several soldiers from their hometown.
Mansion.
Feng Liao was crying without tears. Han Daoxun had already entered the palace once, and under the guise of violating the laws and disciplines of the procurement officials of the Internal Affairs Bureau, he dragged Zhong Yuli, the commander of the Internal Affairs Bureau, to Jingzhao Mansion. They could not break into the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
Take Han Daoxun away!
When Jiang Huo came over and said that Xinchang Hou Li Pu secretly rushed back to Jinling and was about to escort the young princess and the concubine out of the city to avoid trouble, Feng Xiao was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Oh no, sir, go into the palace and find Zhong Yuli. Maybe you have already alerted the snake.
But no matter how decisive the Anning Palace is, it is impossible to take action tonight. It will definitely take a few days of preparation, but now it is completely over. There must be spies in the Anning Palace keeping an eye on the palace and the Xinchang Houfu. They saw the young princess and the concubine suddenly leaving the city for no reason.
, how could there be any hesitation or hesitation at all?”
"The Marquis should be rushing back to the Marquis Mansion to pick up people at this time. It might be too late for us to intercept them!" Jiang Huo said in shock.
"It's useless!" Feng Liao said in despair. He looked up at the sky. It was almost Shenshi. In more than an hour, the sun would set and the city gate would be closed.
Who are Xinchang Houfu and Wanhonglou? Feng Liao doesn't need Han Qian to tell them deliberately. Feng Liao also knows it. It's good if he can't be betrayed by them. How can he expect them to stay and fight for a chance?
What's more, if the battle is successful, King Xin, who is closest to Jinling, will benefit.
Are people like Xinchang Hou Li Pu the kind of people who make wedding clothes for others?
Not only was Xinchang Marquis Li Pu unlikely to listen to the advice, he would even stir up trouble after they left the city, making the situation in Jinling City even more chaotic.
Is it possible that they could lead the guards to detain Xinchang Hou Li Pu and others on the street?
In that case, wouldn't the commotion be greater?
Jiang Huo gritted his teeth and said, "Whether it can work, I have to give it a try."
Feng Liao hesitated for a while and said with a glimmer of hope: "It is absolutely impossible for Marquis Xinchang to stand still. Mr. Jiang may persuade them to come to Lanting Lane - tell them that the young master has something in Lanting Lane."
