"If Han Qian only wanted to help Liang Jun conquer Yong, there would be no need to assemble such a large number of boats, boatmen, and sailors. At this time, only Donghu and Tangyi had assembled a total of seven or eight thousand Tangyi navy troops. There are more than 34,000 shipwrights and sailors from the Chishan Society, all of whom have entered the navy camp, and there are signs of training and drills - although Tangyi has not yet directly cut off Gyeonggi and Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Huaidong, Hunan, Jingxiang waterway connection, but in fact there is no difference,"
In the main hall of Changxin Palace, Shen Yang explained in a hoarse voice the seriousness of the current situation. They analyzed and analyzed it. Tangyi gathered the Chishanhui troops at this time, and the only purpose was to threaten and control the Yangtze River waterway, but the Yangtze River waterway was The lifeline of Da Chu said,
"There are widespread controversies around the New Year's Day, including the rebellion of Tang Yi's envoy, and the return of Emperor Tianyou's grandson Yang Fen to Jinling for trial. At this time, it seems that it is all a conspiracy arranged secretly by Tang Yi..."
Qingyang was sitting on the brocade couch, with an unusually solemn expression under her bright makeup.
Although what Shen Yang and the ministers said when they walked into Changxin Palace were extremely shocking, she was not too panicked.
Maybe it was because she had experienced a bloody palace incident and her heart had been tempered to be strong. Maybe it was because she had participated in handling state affairs during this period, which made her maintain a calm appearance.
At this time, after hearing Shen Yang describe the seriousness of the situation, she tried her best to use a calm tone and asked with a frown:
"In addition to the unusual gathering of Chishan Society and Han Daochang's use of salt and iron transfers to make Si private issue an amnesty order to seize grain, grass and military supplies, could Tangyi's army and horses gather aggressively towards the north bank?"
"This hasn't happened yet," Shen Yang said. "New scouts were selected from the guards and sent to the north bank. News came back that the elite troops of the Tangyi Army are currently mainly on the north line. There is no sign of moving south for the time being, but Huaixi The water and land in the territory are clear, and the elite soldiers and horses of the Tangyi Army will move south very quickly. We must be on guard. We also ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to apprehend Han Daoming, Yun Puzi and others, so that the intentions of the Marquis of Guizhou Yang can be understood as soon as possible. !”
Some mobilizations of troops and horses can only cover twenty or thirty miles a day, while some mobilizations can even cover hundreds of miles a day. This is closely related to the eliteness of the troops and the level of logistical support.
At present, the Yangtze River waterway has been controlled by Tangyi. Although the Youlong Military Army and the soldiers from the states along the river have a combined navy of more than 10,000 people, they are scattered in various places. Even the water camps of the Youlong Military Army are scattered in Yangrun and Yingxiang. The Tangyi Army has the advantage of controlling the water transportation of the Yangtze River, and the speed of troop mobilization will be faster.
Shen Yang was worried that the Empress Dowager Changxin, who was living in the palace, did not understand these principles, so she couldn't help but remind her a few more times.
"Zhou's Ministry of War and Zhang Wei and Zhao Zhen led 890,000 soldiers and horses to station in Xiangfan. Not only were they able to capture Dengjun and Dengjun states, they were also able to invade Guangzhou and Huozhou from Pingjing, Wusheng and other passes. While King Xin was in Chuzhou, he also We can invade Chuzhou at any time. Although the Ai family is a womanly family, they also know these simple principles of military use. There is no need for Prime Minister Shen to teach me." Qingyang's face sank slightly and he said unhappily, "Everything has not been investigated. Clearly, there is no reason to lynch ministers."
"This..." Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Du Chongtao and Yang En all looked at each other.
Although during this period of time, the Queen Mother Changxin had become increasingly sharp, insisting on her own opinions on many matters and no longer being manipulated by her ministers, they still did not expect that the Queen Mother Changxin would categorically veto their arrest of Han Daoming. Pu Zi's suggestion for interrogation.
They originally had good intentions, thinking that the Empress Dowager Changxin would personally issue an order to detain Han Daoming and Yun Puzi at this time. Even if some twists and secrets were exposed in the palace incident half a year ago, they would not directly arrest the Empress Dowager Changxin and the new emperor. Get involved.
"What, do you suspect that the Ai family is colluding secretly with the Marquis of Qianyang?" Qingyang suddenly straightened his face, stared at the ministers in the hall with a frosty face, and asked every word in alarm.
"I don't dare. It's just that the situation is urgent and some things have to be obeyed. Please ask the Queen Mother for permission." Shen Yang and others said hurriedly, but they still insisted on their opinions.
"The Ai family knows in their hearts that there are still some twists and turns behind the palace change, and that Bin'er can sit on this throne is probably the Marquis of Qianyang's expectation, but the Ai family knows better in his heart that if my son sits on this throne, he will be a great king. The emperor is destined to protect this territory. Each of you is loyal to Chu and has no disobedience, but you cannot regard the Ai family as some ignorant women and humanity - the Marquis of Qianyang and the Han family, if you are right Da Chu is loyal, so the Ai family will not do anything wrong by using them, but if they really have any restless thoughts, the Ai family will never allow them to harm the great Chu state."
Qingyang stood up, looked around the ministers with clear eyes, and asked word by word,
"Are you still dissatisfied with the Ai family, or are you dissatisfied with my son Yang Bin sitting on the throne of the Great Chu Emperor?"
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Changxin immediately brought up the matter of abolishing the establishment and questioned her, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others were also secretly frightened, and for a while they all avoided her sharp and cold eyes.
Even though they had known for a long time that the girl who disguised herself as a man and followed her brother to Dachu at the age of fifteen or sixteen before she was officially married into Dachu would not be a simple person, they did not expect her at this moment. The edge will be so sharp.
Faced with such an arrogant question from the Empress Dowager Changxin, what can anyone say?
They came to Changxin Palace at this time without even informing Empress Dowager Mingcheng. Wasn't it just to avoid arbitrarily discussing the abolition of the throne at this moment?
Qingyang looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Wen, and said: "Qin Wen, you draft an edict for the Sheng family, and Han Daoming and Yun Puzi hurry to the Chongwen Hall to accept questioning——"
"Yes!" Qin Wen walked to the desk on the side of the main hall, waited for the palace attendant to study the ink and spread out the blank edict, and then wrote and drafted the edict. After reading it once, seeing that Shen Yang and others had no objections, he handed it to Qingyang to use the seal. .
Qingyang's palace attendants immediately rushed to the Han Mansion and Chongfu Temple to convey the edict. Afterwards, he said to Shen Yang and others:
"You all should go to Chongwen Hall first, and don't forget to ask Mingcheng Palace to go and hear what's going on, so as not to say that one of the Ai family will be deceived by a traitor..."
Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Yang En, Du Chongtao and others all looked at each other blankly, thinking in their hearts, no matter what, they should go to Chongwen Hall first and wait until they see Han Daoming, and Yun Puzi will talk about other things.
After Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others walked out of the main hall of Changxin Palace, Qingyang slumped back to sit on the brocade couch, as if all her strength had been exhausted at that moment. After a long while, she stood up and walked to the bedroom.
"Queen Mother..."
An old palace attendant walked into the bedroom and called softly.
Qingyang's eyes sharpened again, and he motioned for everyone around him to go out first. He stared at the old palace servant and asked, "What on earth does Han Qian want to do?"
"How could I know what the Marquis wants to do? I didn't want to see the Queen Mother being forced into chaos by Shen Yang and the others, so I couldn't help but remind the Queen Mother before. In addition, I was also invited by others to tell some words. Just tell the Queen Mother that she knows..." the old palace servant said with a smile.
"Huh!" Qingyang snorted coldly, stared at the old palace servant coldly, and said coldly, "Marquis Qianyang really thought that the Ai family was easy to bully, and that the Ai family would really accept everything from him. Manipulating?"
The old palace attendant said slowly and logically: "At the time of the palace change, although it was difficult to cover up all the traces of Tangyi behind everything, the Queen Mother and the eldest prince were still the best choices for Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang at that time. It's just that time After the coup, the real person in the Huang family that Shen Yang and others feared was Huang Hua, not Huang Huixiang or Huang Liu. After the palace coup, Huang Hua insisted not to join the central government, and he also insisted not to directly control military power in Hunan, even on the left In Wu Xiang's army, he also warned his son Huang Liu to restrain his sharp edge. The lieutenant generals in the army often used the letters recommended by Zhang Feng or Shen Yang, Yang En, Du Chongtao and others to show that the Huang family really had no ambitions to taint military power. However, Huang Hua was so He tried every possible means to dispel Shen Yang and others' wariness towards him. When Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others saw that Huang Hua had no ambition or possibility to specialize in government affairs, then the Empress Dowager Mingcheng and the third prince would become their new best. Choice, not to mention King Xin and the Crown Prince of Prince Xin's Mansion, are not easy to make. Under the current situation, Shen Yang and others will never dare to discuss the abolition of the establishment. Perhaps the Queen Mother can seize the opportunity to take the initiative. , and this opportunity is also fleeting, I hope the Queen Mother will deal with it carefully, and perhaps only the move of the Chamberlain's House can be used by the Queen Mother!"
"You don't need to teach me this. You can go to the imperial mausoleum to find Jiang Huo. Who else in the palace is a hidden stake in Tangyi? From now on, they will be guarded by the Ai family in the imperial mausoleum. Don't do it again. You have appeared in front of the Ai family, otherwise you should not blame the Ai family for being merciless." Qingyang said with a cold voice.
"The Queen Mother has thoughts of breaking away from Tangyi at this time. I understand, and I will never dare to disobey the edict, but the Queen Mother needs to know that the Marquis has never had any intention of harming the Queen Mother or Your Majesty in these years," the palace servant said. , gave a salute and walked out quietly, as if he had never appeared.
Qingyang sat in front of the window sadly, thought for a while, picked up a piece of plain paper, and wrote: "Go to the east of the Yangtze River and sweep away all the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of the fortress, the way of humanity is, Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms, Chibi. Chaos. Rocks penetrated the sky, stormy waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country was picturesque, and there were so many heroes..."
Just like she has been guessing what the second half of the words is, she has also tried to fill in the words herself countless times, but she still feels that it lacks some momentum and meaning. At this moment, she has no idea what this person is going to do next. What exactly do you want to do in one step?
Suddenly, Qingyang ruthlessly tore the plain paper in front of the case into pieces. He thought with sharp eyes that even if he wanted to harm Bin'er, he would never be able to do it. He ordered the people guarding outside the dormitory: "Go to Chongwen Hall." !”
