Chen De's words were like a huge stone smashing into the calm lake, immediately causing an uproar and shocking everyone's hearts.
What does it mean that Han Qian led people to leave Fanchang City?
There was silence in the lobby for an instant, and everyone looked at Chen De in shock. They all suspected that they had heard wrongly, or that Chen De had just drunk too much and was talking nonsense.
Chen Denai was one of the few relatives that the concubine could trust in the court. Strictly speaking, he was just the concubine's maternal cousin. In his early years, he was only a middle-level military attache at the level of deputy battalion commander. When Yang Yuanpu left the palace, he
It was the concubine who was worried that Yang Yuanpu's life safety would not be guaranteed, so she insisted that Chen De go to Yang Yuanpu's side and serve as the commander of the guard camp.
Although Chen De had no special achievements after that, he was considered loyal and conscientious to Yang Yuanpu, and his career improved all the way. At this time, when he was only forty years old, he was appointed as the Wude Secretary, responsible for commanding the Su Wei Army, above other commanders in the capital.
.
In addition to being a gambler, Chen De was not sloppy in his work.
At this moment, he stood up like a cat whose tail was burned by fire, holding the letter that the primary school had just handed him in his hand, and said to Yang Yuanpu: "Han Qian has left the city, and he left this letter to be given to His Highness and the
My lords..."
Chen De was also extremely shocked. He stood there and spoke stiffly. He even forgot to hand the letter left by Han Qian to Yang Yuanpu's hand immediately. He couldn't help but lower his head and read it first.
Han Qian is out of town?
At this time, when everyone confirmed the news, their hearts were in turmoil, and countless thoughts came to their mind.
What does Han Qian mean by this? He can't hold back anymore and wants to rush to Langxi to encourage Zuo Guangde's army to rebel?
Or could it be that Han Qian couldn't stand His Highness's suppression and persecution and had secretly colluded with An Ning Palace?
Not to mention Li Pu, Han Daoming and others, Zheng Yu and Yang Zhitang also seemed to have a basin of ice water poured on their heads at this moment. Their hearts seemed to be shrouded by hundreds of millions of clouds, and their whole bodies seemed to be shocked by electric shock. They sat there in a daze, completely unimaginable.
Once Han Qian turns his back and joins the Peace Palace, the consequences will be serious.
Zhang Ping also sat there with a pale face. He never expected that Han Qian's reaction would be so violent and that he could not bear the pressure and even left the city directly.
Where will Han Qian go after he leaves the city?
Yang Yuanpu felt as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer. For a moment, his mind went blank, and the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
"Immediately use the cavalry to hunt down Han Qian. We must take him back to Fanchang, life or death!" Li Pu stood up suddenly and shouted to the guards on duty. In his hurry, he also forgot that only Yang Yuanpu and Chen De were there at this time.
Only the order can take effect on the Su Wei army.
Li Puman thought that once he asked Han Qian to flee to Langxi and successfully rendezvous with Zuo Guangde's army, no matter whether they could successfully annihilate Han Qian and the rebellious Zuo Guangde army, he knew in his heart that the whole thing would have a negative impact on the Yueyang troops and horses.
The good situation in Jinling will cause many fatal blows, and may even directly lead to the collapse of their plan to besiege Jinling.
The only way is to send all the cavalry out and capture or kill Han Qian on the spot before he arrives at Langxi to join Zuo Guangde's army - even if Zuo Guangde's army is destined to rebel, it is still better than letting Han Qian join him.
It would be ten thousand times better for Qian and Zuo Guangde's troops to join together.
"What did Han Qian say in the letter?" Shen Yang was still a little calmer, and asked the guards who came into the hall to calm down and asked Chen De.
Since this letter is said to be for His Highness and all the gentlemen present, it is not too late for them to deal with it after understanding the contents of the letter.
No matter how urgent the matter is, it won't be short of this little time.
Chen De looked at Yang Yuanpu inquiringly.
Yang Yuanpu's face was pale and he waved weakly, indicating to Chen De to read out the contents of the letter Han Qian left.
Since Han Qian made it clear that this letter is for him and everyone present, no matter how big the crisis is next, we will have to rely on everyone to overcome it together. There is really no need to hide the content of the letter; everyone here today is qualified to participate in the confidentiality.
As for Ruan Yan and Yin Peng, it doesn't matter if they are present at this time.
If there is really something secret in the letter that should not be disclosed to the outside world, the worst possible outcome is to detain them or kill them outright.
"Your Highness, Mr. Shen Yang and all the gentlemen above are here. Han Qian, a humble minister, has a surly and arrogant temperament. He often takes the wrong direction in his actions. My gentlemen do not think about the old evil but can treat him kindly. I feel this in my heart and will never forget it. I kowtow here. Pay homage. My late father had a sincere heart and was brutally tortured to death. He still thought about the war-torn world and worried that the people would be like ants struggling to cross the sea of fire. Before his execution, he left a blood letter to express his loyalty to His Highness. This is the reason why Wei Chen resolutely went to Jinling. Your Highness's kindness to meet you is so great that it is difficult to repay him with his body and bones. At this time, it is also the autumn of chaos. Wei Chen should devote himself to His Highness and die. However, his father is filial to him. "Wei Chen will never dare to cancel the ceremony to discuss the marriage. We don't want His Highness to be forced by Chuzhou. Wei Chen can only return to Xuzhou without complaining to attend the funeral of his father. I beg Your Highness to forgive Wei Chen's crime!"
Chen De held up the letter with slightly trembling hands and continued reading it stammeringly.
Everyone looked at each other and thought, what the hell is this?
Han Qian was a filial father and was not allowed to marry in terms of etiquette. Chuzhou forced him to get married. He didn't want to embarrass His Highness, so he just patted his ass and left?
However, in today's world where filial piety is often displayed to offend others, yet it is a legitimate reason to speak out without fear of criticism from others!
Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, and Han Qian must abide by filial piety, so before Yang Yuanpu asked him to agree to the marriage, he left Fanchang to avoid being trapped in a dilemma, where loyalty and filial piety are difficult to balance. All this seemed to be blameless and even wanton. Praising his virtues.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Chuzhou for proposing the marriage, forcing Han Qian to leave Fanchang City.
Everything is so grand!
At this time, everyone was looking at each other in confusion. First, they didn't know whether Han Qian could believe what he said in his letter about going to Xuzhou, and second, they didn't know whether to send troops out of the city to intercept Han Qian.
The idea of filial piety is obvious, and we are not three-year-olds.
Previously, Han Qian said that he would hand over military power after the war in the name of filial piety. Everyone believed that he was using filial piety to play a trick of retreating in order to advance. Is it possible that this time everyone really believes that he is the most filial person?
Filial piety is more often just an excuse for politicians. For example, Li Pu, Zheng Yu, Han Daoming, Zheng Chang and others supported the concubine to have the right to make decisions in the palace in the name of filial piety.
And filial piety is often used as a bargaining chip for politicians to advance or retreat.
For example, Yang Yuanpu thought that Han Qian should know how to advance and retreat, so he would agree to Han Qian's return to Xuzhou in the name of keeping filial piety, or Yang Yuanpu thought that Han Qian should stay with him, and only needed to take advantage of Han Qian's filial piety in the name of national affairs.
Did Han Qian really leave because of his filial piety and not get married, or did this marriage provide the best excuse for Han Qian to leave without saying goodbye? Everyone here is an old vixen, can't they even tell this?
At this time, another school captain who looked like a guard walked into the lobby, walked behind Li Pu and whispered.
Li Pu was like another fox whose tail was burned, his mouth wide open in shock, not knowing what to say.
"What's going on?" Shen Yang was still calm and asked.
"Gao Chengyuan sent someone to report, saying that the Privy Council issued a secret order an hour ago, and Yang Qin led his troops out of the camp. Gao Chengyuan thought that something was not right, and when he learned about it, he sent someone to verify it!" Li Pu seemed to be putting a hot hand on his hands. Shan Yao threw the order letter in his hand onto the case and said, "I have never issued such an order letter. This is not my signature. It must have been forged by Han Qian secretly!"
There was deathly silence in the lobby. The facts were now clear. Han Qian's desire to leave may not have been a temporary thought. It was just that Ruan Yan came to negotiate peace on behalf of Chuzhou and proposed his marriage to Wang Jun, which provided him with an excellent excuse. That's all.
"Here comes someone!" Yang Yuanpu's face turned red and veins were pulsing in his forehead. He patted the long case and wanted to call someone in to order troops to pursue him.
"Your Highness, Han Qian returned to Xuzhou to observe filial piety for his father. It is no loss of courtesy. Your Highness should fulfill his ambition." Shen Yang looked at Yang Yuanpu who was so angry that he looked like a wayward child who had lost all his candy. She did not dare to tell him to do anything willful. Angrily, he made more mistakes than before. He quickly walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, and earnestly advised Yang Yuanpu not to act out of anger.
Han Qian mobilized Yang Qin's troops to leave Fanchang with him. Naturally, they had to sail against the current and return to Xuzhou. At least for now, they had no intention of joining Zuo Guangde's army.
At least Han Qian has no intention of ruining their plan to besiege Jinling City at this time. If they look at this matter calmly and let Han Qian leave, they will find that apart from being angry, it will not have a substantial impact on the overall situation.
Even if this matter becomes public, the generals below will only feel that Han Qian is the most filial person, and it will not have much negative impact on the morale of the army and the subsequent siege of Jinling.
This can even be said to be the biggest compromise Han Qian made to Yang Yuanpu.
Otherwise, Han Qian could completely make the situation more chaotic, and he could still calmly return to Xuzhou and be at ease.
No matter how much Yang Yuanpu resents Han Qian in his heart, at this time he must at least praise his ambition on the surface.
These are political rules.
Not to mention that Yang Yuanpu has not succeeded to the throne now. Even if he becomes the Supreme Lord of the Nine Heavens and the Emperor of Chu, if he wants the ministers to obey and the world to return to his heart, these rules must be followed.
Otherwise, if the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles are all in chaos, what excuse would the emperor have to demand the loyalty of his subjects?
"Your Highness, Han Qian returned to Xuzhou to observe filial piety for his father, which is no loss of courtesy!" Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Yang Zhitang, Zhang Ping and even Jiang Huo all came to their senses and knelt down in front of the hall together to persuade Yang Yuanpu to calm down and not to be angry for a moment. Anger can lead to bad things.
Zhang Chao tugged on Li Pu's sleeve. No matter how unwilling Li Pu felt, he could only follow everyone and kneel in front of the hall to persuade Yang Yuanpu to let Han Qian go back to Xuzhou.
In any case, their current primary goal is to capture Jinling City. When they completely control Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, control Huaixi, and control Jingxiang, then they will take control of Xuzhou. Isn't it just an excuse?
Yang Yuanpu saw that the ground was full of people kneeling in front of the hall. Even Chen De and Yang Fan, who were the chief and deputy commanders of Suwei Palace, knelt in front of the hall to express their attitude. He knew very well that so many people were against him. Even if he insisted on chasing Han Qian, no one would
will carry out his orders.
It's just that the resentment that seemed to grow like weeds in summer was gnawing at his heart like a poisonous snake, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what. He turned around bitterly and didn't look at everyone, like a young injured lone wolf standing on the desolate grassland.
