Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters from the city
Feng Liao did not think that Jiang Huo had persuaded Xinchang Hou Li Pu and others, and the situation was destined to be bad, so he could only deal with it according to the plan for the bad situation.
In addition to Prince Tan's Mansion and Xinchang Hou's Mansion, the Longque Army also has many generals and their families, including Shen Yang's family and Dali Temple Shaoqing Zheng Chang, who are all in the city. In order to prevent these people from becoming hostages under the control of Anning Palace and the prince, Xinchang Hou Li Pu may not be able to take care of it.
It has been less than an hour before the city is closed, and it is not certain how many soldiers and horses of the four city defenders are controlled by Anning Palace. So many family members, old and young, live scattered throughout Jinling City. It is time to disperse out of the city before the city gate closes. It's definitely too late, and if we postpone it until tomorrow, we don't know how bad the situation will get.
Secondly, he left the city in disorder and was too worried about Anning Palace. The only plan now was to inform all the family members to rush to Lanting Lane to gather together.
After Jiang Huo left, Feng Liao said to Zhao Wuji: "Wuji, you go to pick up Mr. Zheng Chang in person, and you must escort him to Lanting Lane as soon as possible. I will go to the Han family mansion - remember, the key people will evacuate to Lanting Lane. , don’t be too alarmed.”
Normally, it would be enough for the generals and their families to send guards and young men from the Xi family to inform him. However, there were not enough people with Zheng Chang, the young minister of the Dali Temple, to go there. With one or two ordinary soldiers rushing over to report the news, how could it be possible to win Zheng Chang's trust?
Zheng Chang was probably still doing official business in the Dali Temple Yamen at this time. Ordinary people had no way of entering the Dali Temple Yamen located in the imperial city.
In addition, although Han Qian still has deep resentment towards Han Daoming and Han Daochang, in the end, it is up to Han Qian to decide how to deal with the relationship with these two groups. Feng Liao cannot deliberately fail to report the news at such a critical moment of life and death!
As for the Han family, they also need someone with enough weight to convince them that the situation is bad, so that they won't hesitate and delay, which will ruin a major event.

"Dad, we have only stayed in Jinling for a few days. We have not received any reply from the Household Department and the Zhidu Envoy Department. Why are we in such a hurry to return to Chuzhou? What is going to happen in Jinling?"
Wang Jun got out of the car and saw two three-masted ships moored in front of the Jiang'an Pier. In addition to his father, who had arrived at the pier early and was looking at the surging river in trance, the governor of Chuzhou Hall, Yin Peng, also rarely wore armor. At this time, he was directing people to carry hundreds of heavy wooden boxes onto the ship.
Just looking at those strong men, it was extremely difficult for two or three people to lift a small wooden box. Wang Jun knew that the box contained not ordinary goods, but metal objects such as gold, silver or copper coins. She I was even more shocked.
Although the merchants at that time also recognized the circulation of gold, the main way of buying and selling trade was to make copper coins first.
Large-scale material transactions often require thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of money, which is extremely inconvenient to carry and can easily attract the prying eyes of bandits.
Wang Jun knew that his father, in order to facilitate business travelers in Chuzhou, issued flying tickets at the Chuzhou Pavilion for acceptance.
Merchants from Chuzhou go to Jinling to sell bulk goods, and the large amount of money earned is difficult to transport. They can directly deposit it into the Chuzhou Pavilion, which will issue a flying ticket. Then, after returning to Chuzhou, they can collect it directly from the Yamen of the Defense Envoy with the flying ticket. When money appears, you only need to pay a small amount of surety money; and vice versa.
Flying tickets are extremely popular with merchants from Shengchu and other places, which also leads to Chuzhou Museum usually storing a large amount of money for deposits and withdrawals.
Wang Jun secretly estimated that the coins contained in so many heavy wooden boxes, even if they were all made of copper, would amount to as much as 70,000 to 80,000 yuan; if some of them were gold and silver precious metals, the value would be even higher.
Is this almost like transporting the Chuzhou Pavilion’s savings all at once?
How could Wang Jun not guess at this time that the situation in Jinling was about to change drastically? His father really wanted to evacuate all the people and property from Chuzhou who were in Jinling as soon as possible?
"I don't know when the storm will arise. Jinling has become a place of right and wrong. We should leave Jinling first." Wang Wenqian turned around and saw his daughter's shocked face and explained.
"A storm is about to break out?" Wang Jun was shocked and could think of what his father meant by the storm. It was exactly the same, and his heart was filled with waves. He looked at his father and asked almost pleadingly, "Uncle Han, Marquis Yang
They are all in Jinling, why did my father leave Jinling without consulting them to deal with the crisis?"
"The only way to deal with it is to leave the city. It will be difficult to achieve anything if you stay in Jinling City, and you will become a turtle in a urn." Wang Wenqian said, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
Knowing that Han Daoxun had rushed to the palace early in the morning and did not wait for an inside report from the Jingzhao Mansion, Wang Wenqian thought through many things, and then ordered Yin Peng to arrange the withdrawal.
Although after learning about the poisoning of Shen He, the young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chuzhou made some preparations and deployed the most elite cavalry to the north of Yangzhou. However, this cavalry only had more than 5,000 people, and if they wanted to
It was still 230 to 40 miles away to get to the other side of the river as soon as possible.
What's more, they are still not sure about Xu Mingzhen's movements in Shouzhou at this time. Before they are fully sure, they should let Jinling City get into chaos first!
Wang Jun felt confused when he saw a hint of cruelty hidden in his father's gloomy face.
How could she have guessed how terrifying the murderous intention about to be in Jinling would be?
He just knew that his father had made up his mind to leave, and there was nothing she could do to dissuade him. At that moment, he could only look back in melancholy, watching the sun set in the west and the city of Jinling shrouded in mist, which was so majestic and reluctant to leave.
"Should we send someone to inform Uncle Han, Marquis Yang and others?" Wang Jun asked again.
"They should also know that a storm is about to happen. We don't need to add any extravagance and send people to report it," Wang Wenqian saw that his daughter was still hesitant and urged, "Jun'er, let's board the ship!"
Wang Wenqian signaled his maid to help his daughter board the ship. Anning Palace could not take care of them now, but he was also worried that something might change later. He had to retreat to the north of Guangling first and meet up with the forward cavalry camp before he could sit back and watch the calm breeze.
ah.
"In front of you is Mr. Wang Wenqian, Secretary of the State of Chuzhou?"
When Wang Jun was about to board the ship reluctantly, he saw three fast horses galloping towards him. The leading knight shouted loudly from a distance to reveal Wang Wenqian's identity.
Wang Jun stopped hesitantly, and the visitor quickly came closer. He saw that the three of them all looked familiar. They were all soldiers of the Han family. The leader was Zhao Kuo, a close aide who was serving Han Daoxun.
Wang Jun looked at his father with confusion, and saw that his father also had a hesitant and dignified look on his face.
"Sir Wang, can you please take a moment to speak?" Zhao Kuo took off his sword and handed it to the guard of the Chuzhou Pavilion. He walked up to him alone and raised his hand to Wang Wenqian and asked.
Wang Wenqian motioned to disperse, leaving only Yin Peng by his side. He stared at Zhao Kuo with a gloomy face: "I wonder what Master Zhao can teach me when he comes after me?"
"Master Wang sent Zhou Zhi to my master, why did he have to leave Jinling City in a hurry? Isn't this a good opportunity for Chuzhou to seize chestnuts from the fire?" Zhao Kuo stared at Wang Wenqian's face and asked with a bright look.
.
"Haha, what's the joke, Mr. Zhao?" Wang Wenqian laughed, absolutely not admitting that Zhou Zhi's blocking of the street to complain was his arrangement.
Wang Jun looked at his father in surprise and doubt. He didn't know who Zhou Zhi Zhao Kuo was talking about, and he didn't know if the upcoming turmoil in Jinling had any direct relationship with his father.
"Zhou Zhi has already revealed the truth to my family and Lord Zhong Yuli in Jingzhao Mansion. Why should Lord Wang deny it again? At this time, the situation is urgent. Since Lord Wang trusts my family to be fair and impartial and has the heart to believe in the king, why not Stay and discuss the big plan together, save millions of people in Jinling from fire and water, and turn the tide of Chu?" Zhao Kuo stared at Wang Wenqian and asked.
Chen Xingmo was replaced by Emperor Tianyou after Shen He died.
As Chen Xingmo was a regular attendant of Chongwen Hall, any minister from the foreign court summoned by Emperor Tianyou in Chongwen Hall could not avoid Chen Xingmo's sight.
Only the court officials in the inner court could avoid Chen Xingmo's sight and come into contact with Emperor Tianyou alone.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a total of five to six thousand eunuchs and maids serving in the palace. It is difficult to say how many of them are completely loyal to Emperor Tianyou and have nothing to do with the Anning Palace. However, they were organized with the purpose of checking and balancing the power of the Palace of Internal Affairs. , the strengthened internal government bureau, and its leader Zhong Yuli, must be a direct lineage that Emperor Tianyou can absolutely trust.
If Zhong Yuli had problems, then they would just put their hands on him and capture him.
In front of Chen Xingmo, Han Daoxun took Zhong Yuli to the Jingzhao Mansion for violating the laws of the Internal Affairs Bureau, but it was obvious that Zhong Yuli could not convince Zhong Yuli to believe that Shen He, the young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was poisoned by Anning Palace. At this time, Emperor Tianyou was deeply poisoned and his life was in danger.
After all, Shen He was only slightly ill when he was in Jinling, and his condition only worsened after he went to Tanzhou to declare the decree. He died when he returned to Jinling City. Except for Han Qian and the Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, who was familiar with toxicology, they were in Tanzhou. If you can see the doubt, who can see the doubt?
After Han Qian saw something suspicious in Tanzhou, he not only concealed the news, but even deliberately used medicine to make Shen He's symptoms closer to the onset of the miasma.
At this time, Han Daoxun said that everything was done by Han Qian and the third prince intentionally to deceive the king. The whole thing was so big and shocking, how could Zhong Yuli dare to believe it?
When Zhao Kuo and Zhong Yuli's close relatives took out a section of Shen He's body for inspection, it was already noon, and then they took Zhou Zhi to Jingzhao Mansion to confirm that Zhou Zhi was instigated by Wang Wenqian. At this time, Chuzhou openly sent The troops who arrived at Jinling have all withdrawn from Jinling City.
Zhao Kuo hurriedly rode out of the city and barely managed to catch up with Wang Wenqian before the two ships weighed anchor.
Wang Wenqian laughed. Since Zhou Zhi had already confessed, there was no point in denying it, but he remained silent and ignored Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo continued: "My master asked me to ask Mr. Wang, are Mr. Wen, Marquis Zhenyuan, Marquis Liyang, and Mr. Zhong not enough to rely on? Could it be that by joining forces with these adults, Mr. Wang is afraid that he will not be able to support Chuzhou's soldiers and horses? To decide the overall situation?"
Han Daoxun and Zhong Yuli didn't know yet whether there was any alarm in Anning Palace, but Wang Wenqian instigated Zhou Zha to block Han Daoxun's street. It was not difficult to guess his intention at this time.
Wang Wenqian instigated Zhou Diao to block the street because he wanted to confirm whether there was any secret behind Shen He's death, and whether Han Qian and the third prince deliberately concealed the truth about Shen He's death, so as to make more preparations for Tanzhou. time.
After Wang Wenqian confirmed these two points, he decisively led the Chuzhou troops to withdraw from Jinling City. It is not difficult to guess his intention at this time.
Even if Anning Palace had not been alarmed, Wang Wenqian still had to dig open the hole as quickly as possible before the third prince was ready in Tanzhou.
In this way, Anning Palace and the prince had to rebel even if they didn't want to, and they had to kill the king and their father even if they didn't want to. However, the third prince was not ready in Tanzhou, and only Chuzhou soldiers and horses could logically cross the river to Qinwang, Chao
Defeat the rebels and gain the reputation of righteousness!
After King Xin had taken control of Jinling and gained the support of most courtiers and ascended the throne, what else could the three princes do in Tanzhou? Could they still raise troops to rebel?
Now that he had guessed the intentions of Wang Wenqian and King Xin who was standing behind Wang Wenqian, Han Daoxun had to work harder to persuade Wang Wenqian to stay...
