Zhao Kuo quickly left the city and chased him to the dock. The bait thrown out by Han Daoxun and Zhong Yuli on behalf of Han Daoxun and Zhong Yuli was very tempting.
Wang Jun's pretty face was full of shock. He even needed to use the Chuzhou army to cross the river to determine the overall situation. Could it be that His Majesty has...
Wang Wenqian's expression became even more uncertain,
After all, when he retreats to the north bank of the Yangtze River, he will immediately announce the truth about Shen He's poisoning and death through e-mails, forcing An Ning Palace to take action against His Majesty in advance. Not many people may believe them, and they may even be attacked by An Ning Palace. He counterattacked and said that this was an excuse for Chuzhou's "rebellion".
At that time, the name of orthodoxy will most likely still be a war of words. The third prince will definitely stir up the situation in order to fish in troubled waters. Chuzhou may not necessarily have the upper hand.
Wang Wenqian hesitated for a long time, stared at Zhao Kuo and asked, "Is there a secret edict?"
"Master Zhong will definitely get the secret edict when he returns to the palace!" Zhao Kuo said.
Zhao Kuo chased him out of the city, and Zhong Yuli had just left Jingzhao Mansion to return to the palace.
In fact, to avoid Chen Xingmo's eyes and ears, even if Zhong Yuli returned to the palace, he would not be able to immediately report the matter to Emperor Tianyou. However, in any case, supporting King Xin was already the most pragmatic choice for them.
Even though the Anning Palace was already on alert and decided to completely seal off the Chongwen Palace, they still needed to go through a process to arrange for Emperor Tianyou to "die of a sudden illness", to forge a succession edict, and to arrange for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
And this is their last chance.
What's more, the current defense of the four cities of Jinling City and the Imperial City has not yet completely fallen into the hands of Anning Palace and the Prince's family.
Preparing for the worst case scenario, Zhong Yuli would most likely not be able to come out when he returned to the palace this time, and there would be no secret edicts or decrees. Because of this, Han Daoxun hoped to retain Wang Wenqian.
Wang Wenqian represents King Xin. In addition to the four to five hundred elite guards in the Chuzhou Pavilion and King Xin's Mansion, Chuzhou also has many secretly deployed forces in Jinling.
What's more, there are also some generals in the imperial army and bodyguards who support King Xin. Only Wang Wenqian can win their support immediately.
Han Daoxun represented the third prince, and Wang Wenqian represented King Xin. They were also able to convince the ministers of the court and the Imperial Guard, as well as the generals of the bodyguards and the generals, to believe that Emperor Tianyou had been controlled or even killed by the An Ning Palace and the prince's conspiracy, so they took decisive action to deal with it. As for being confused by Anning Palace and the prince.
"It's too late," Wang Wenqian said decisively, "I'm sorry that Wang can't follow Mr. Zhao back to the city!"
If Han Daoxun had entered the palace early in the morning and had obtained the secret edict, Wang Wenqian would have considered taking a chance. However, Zhong Yuli waited until this moment to confirm with Han Daoxun the truth about Shen He's poisoning and death. At this time, he would return to the palace to see His Majesty to obtain the secret edict. Anning Palace How stupid does it have to be to let Zhong Yuli out of the palace again?
Without His Majesty's secret edict, let alone whether we could successfully persuade Yang Jian, Wen Muqiao, Wen Bo and others to raise troops to put down the rebellion, even if the situation in Jinling was controlled at the first time, whether the throne would belong to the second prince or the third prince in the end. But it’s not clear yet!
"As long as Lord Wang doesn't leave, and my Lord doesn't leave, even if An Ning Palace is determined to rebel, it will still take several days to plan in a hurry. If you don't think about hundreds of millions of people, even if it is to win the righteous name for King Xin, King Tan will give up. , isn’t it worth a gamble for Mr. Wang?” Zhao Kuo thought that Wang Wenqian was wavering and asked after him.
"Five years ago, I asked Mr. Han to stay with Mr. Han to serve King Xin, but Mr. Han refused. Today, I forgive Wang for not being able to stay and conspire with Mr. Han." Wang Wenqian cruelly pushed his daughter to board the ship, leaving Yin Peng to hold the sword.
Zhao Kuo stopped him and refused to let him get entangled.
Zhao Kuo was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Wenqian didn't believe that the Lord would sincerely support King Xin. He believed that without a secret edict, the Lord might change his mind at any time.
Or maybe Wang Wenqian is still worried that His Majesty has a secret edict to appoint the third prince as the heir apparent?
Seeing that Chuzhou troops quickly boarded the ship and removed the stacks, Zhao Kuo also knew that the situation could no longer be reversed.
Even from the fact that Wang Wenqian, Yin Peng and others risked their lives to escape from Jinling City, Anning Palace and the prince must make a decision.
Zhao Kuo glanced sadly to the northwest, wondering whether Cai's troops could seize the opportunity and seize Huainan in one fell swoop due to the chaos in Jinling and Daliang's garrison in Xu...

"Why don't you just leave the city, but go to Lanting Lane to meet up first? If the city gate is controlled by the rebels, we won't be able to leave the city. Can you shoulder this responsibility?"
Forced to draw a clear line with the prince's family, Han Jun, although he was not dismissed from his post in the Privy Council, felt uncomfortable working under the eyes and noses of officials from the prince's family such as Niu Gengru and Zhao Mingting all day long. During this period, he simply excused himself from illness.
Recuperate at home.
After calling his father back from the civil service yamen, Feng Liao revealed the truth that Shen He had been poisoned to death by Anning Palace and that Emperor Tianyou was probably also deeply poisoned. Han Jun was so frightened that he almost ran to the rafters.
Han Jun also didn't understand that Feng Liao supported that they go to Lanting Lane instead of leaving the city directly to avoid trouble.
At such a critical moment, if we don't leave the city immediately, if something goes wrong, wouldn't dozens of members of the Han family become prey to be slaughtered in the hands of Anning Palace?
no.
Feng Liao would not be just a slave taken in by his Han family at this time. How could it be the turn of a slave like him to dictate such a big matter?
"First, Feng Liao no longer has the ability to persuade Mr. Fu Yin to leave the city. He can only ask the old man to try again. Second, with so many people from the Han family leaving the city at this time, there is too much noise and it is easy to keep his words true," Feng Liao said slowly and calmly.
He said, "Thirdly, if every family gathers at Lanting Lane and gathers more or less thousands of elite warriors who can fight, as long as Lord Fu Yin can persuade some of the imperial guards and the guards and generals to bring order to the chaos, then it may not be possible
There is no chance to fight."
"If you miss the opportunity to leave the city, and the lives of hundreds of members of my Han family fall into the hands of the rebels, what will you be able to bear?" Han Jun asked.
"Young Master also suggested in the letter that if there is an emergency, gather at Lanting Lane as soon as possible. He did not suggest leaving the city as soon as possible. There must be Young Master's reasons in this." Feng Liao said.
Seeing Feng Liao with a young master on his left and a young master on his right, Han Jun was so angry that veins were beating in his forehead. He thought that the thief was far away in the capital of Shu. What happened in Jinling would take more than a month to reach the letter. How could they?
Stubbornly at the mercy of Han Qian?
Han Jun thought of this and asked sternly: "Has Han Qian ever thought that in this situation, even if the rebellion in An Ning Palace can be suppressed, it will only benefit King Xin and has nothing to do with us or the third prince. Han Qian doesn't
Will they order you to help King Xin ascend the throne?"
"At this moment, if the situation does not allow it, it is a last resort to help the King of Letters ascend the throne." Feng Liao took out a letter from his arms and said, "This letter is written by the young master. I hope that when the situation is critical, Mr. Boss and Han
Minister, can the second master more or less follow Feng Liao's advice..."
"Han Qian wrote a letter and asked us to obey the orders of a slave like you?" Han Duan was so angry that he grabbed the letter and wanted to tear it into pieces.
"Master Fu Yin is tolerant and generous, and he has a filial piety that cannot be respected by the elders, but the young master is a narrow-minded person." Feng Liao said calmly.
Han Duan seemed to have been tapped on an acupuncture point, and his hand that was about to tear up the letter was frozen there.
He is really not afraid of the third uncle. At worst, they will no longer interact with each other, but Han Qian is a petty thief who is narrow-minded and ruthless, and has no thoughts about the clan in his heart.
Han Duan is absolutely deceiving himself if he says he is not afraid of Han Qian.
"Show me Qian'er's letter..." Han Wenhuan said in a hoarse voice, reaching out and handing Han Duan the letter to him.
"Qian'er just refuses to learn to write properly..." Han Wenhuan couldn't help but judge after receiving the letter. This was a secret letter that Zhao Wuji brought from the capital of Shu. In this secret letter, Han Qian was awarded the title of Feng Liao Geng.
With great authority, Feng Liao was also instructed to make full use of the power of the Han family mansion in Jinling City at critical moments.
The Han family regrouped their military corps, which consisted of only 200 people. They seemed to be insignificant in Jinling, which had a hundred thousand troops stationed there. However, when a great chaos broke out in Jinling, the armies could not trust each other and even attacked each other. They were able to assemble in Jinling.
Thousands of elite combat forces are not completely ineffective.
Moreover, Lanting Lane may seem ordinary, but it has been run by Han Qian's family for three years. Even if it is not as solid as a fortress, it will still take some effort for foreign enemies to storm in.
"Narrow-minded" is what Han Qian wrote in the letter.
After Han Wenhuan read the letter, he handed it to the eldest brother Han Daoming. The second eldest brother Han Daochang read it and said, "You go to Lanting Lane first, and Feng Liao and I go to Jingzhao Mansion to persuade the third eldest brother!"
"If the third child could be persuaded, the situation wouldn't be like today." Han Daoming said.
"You don't have to go, I always have to go!" Han Wenhuan said.
"If Anning Palace is already alert, it might have already targeted Jingzhao Palace." Han Daoming said.
"There are still some government officials in Jingzhao Mansion. Even if An Ning Palace's informants have targeted them, what will they dare to do now? Besides, my old bones are of little use in the world," Han Wenhuan said nonchalantly.
, "Don't disturb the maids and servants, and don't take care of the property in the house. Now is not the time to be particular about everything! When others ask, they say they are attending a banquet in Lanting Lane. The third child's birthday is just a few days away, and he will soon know his destiny.
But no one remembers it, alas."
Han Daoming and Han Daochang were stunned. They really didn't remember that the third child was going to celebrate his fiftieth birthday in the next few days. Thinking about it, they really fell into the hands of Anning Palace and the prince. Anning Palace and the prince wanted to continue to rule.
Because of Da Chu's righteousness, it was impossible to kill them all directly. On the contrary, they dragged their families and fled out of the city, which made it easier for them to lie...
After a long secret discussion, it was finally decided that Han Daoming and Han Daochang would take their wives, concubines, and heirs to Lanting Lane in the name of attending a banquet. Han Wenhuan accompanied Feng Liao to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to meet the third son, Han Daoxun.
