The middle door of the mansion was opened a little, revealing a gap. Li Laiheng saw that all the rebels had left, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted his face with both hands and scolded himself: "You are Li Laiheng, not Li Yazi. Don't overturn your car in Bianliang."
Before the shock in Li Laiheng's heart had completely dissipated, Li Nu had already rushed into his arms. The experienced and born god general Li Jin was shocked, and he was almost killed by Li Nu, a fat cat with an over-sized figure.
run down.
After Youci has gained experience in managing the affairs of the old camp in the past few years, she often follows Empress Dowager Gao to handle various official affairs. Her expression and posture no longer look like the timid look she once had. Although she had just gone through a ridiculous mutiny, at this time
But he quickly sorted out his emotions, and even his speech was much more organized than before.
"Your Highness...how will the rebels be dealt with? He...they, they are all old people from Dashun. I'm afraid, I'm afraid not, they cannot be dealt with arbitrarily."
Li Laiheng looked at Youci's appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He completely treated Youci as a little sister, but now he had to involve her in the whirlpool...
But he immediately clenched his hands and threw away even a trace of extraneous feelings in his heart. For the sake of Dashun, for the late Emperor Yongchang, and to resist the Tatars, Li Laiheng has reached the point where he is today, and every step after that will be
If he doesn't advance, he will retreat. In order to survive and win, he must complete all the tasks assigned to him by history.
Li Laiheng smiled and said: "My adoptive father will arrange it... Don't worry too much, You Ci. You just came to Kaifeng and you still don't know that the number of veterans who have made trouble recently is quite large. This is not the first time that this happened today."
, my adoptive father and I have dealt with it several times before."
You Ci stared at Li Laiheng's eyes, as if she wanted to see his true emotions and intentions from King Jin's eyes, but she seemed to find nothing.
Youci lowered his head and whispered: "Princess...Is the princess okay? Those old people said that they want to seek justice from the princess. The princess is also from Cao Ying, will she be involved?"
Li Laiheng casually touched You Ci's head. You Ci's figure has grown a lot in the past few years, but Li Laiheng himself seems to be taller, so the height gap between the two has widened a lot.
He rubbed the top of You Ci's head, as if he had returned to Longju Village many years ago. Li Laiheng did not directly answer You Ci's question, but just said:
"These matters will be handled well by me, Jian Guo and I."
You Ci couldn't help but ask: "What kind of situation does His Highness want to happen?"
Li Laiheng patted her on the top of her head and said warmly: "Youci, please take a good rest. Don't think about so many meaningless things. Have a good rest." After that, he assigned other maids to take you to rest and calm her down.
Deploy some direct troops to protect the mansion.
You Ci was dragged away by the maid, but she still turned around and asked: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness... Why did you call me to Kaifeng?"
Li Laiheng squinted his eyes, showed a warm smile, waved his hand and said, "You Ci, go and have a good rest."
Soon Sun Shoufa walked into the mansion with an iron whip in hand and a group of fully armed soldiers. Sun Shoufa ordered the soldiers to guard the safety of the mansion, while he knelt on one knee in front of Li Laiheng and apologized:
"Excuse me, I'm late!"
Li Laiheng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it was Gu's request to have you come back later. Although it is a precautionary preparation, but the matter has not completely intensified, Gu must not attack his brothers and comrades in the Dashun Army.
Use force, otherwise no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will affect the image and status of Lone in the army and in the hearts of the soldiers."
Of course, Li Laiheng was not so powerful that he rode into the formation alone. In fact, while he was convincing the rebels to leave, Sun Shoufa led hundreds of soldiers to ambush nearby. If anything happened, the knights of the bodyguard would protect Li Laiheng first.
, then Sun Shoufa will definitely come out to put down the rebellion.
However, Sun Shoufa was not a great Shun Yuan Cong, and Li Laiheng also attached great importance to his image in the minds of the grassroots soldiers within the Shun Army, so he was still more willing to take a little risk to deal with the matter rather than use force to suppress it.
But in Sun Shoufa's view, this method of treatment will inevitably condone the soldiers' unruly and arrogant style...
Li Laiheng then asked Sun Shoufa: "Did Zhang Pilu go to Tongguan?"
"Zhang Shuai has led his troops to Tongguan to arrange defense."
"Well, that's very good." Li Laiheng couldn't help showing a smile of relief and said, "Zhang Pifu is in Tongguan, Gao Yigong also rushed back to Xiangyang to take charge, Miao Lichen and He Zhen are in Han, Yun, Guojun Town, Gu Ke
Cheng, Hao Yaoqi and Ma Bao are in Shandong. Chu Chuang's elite soldiers are on the front line to resist the Tatars' southward march. For the time being, the defense line is still very stable. I estimate that changes will occur within the Qing army, and Dorgon will probably not be there.
During this time, they are going south to invade me."
Sun Shoufa said with some uneasiness: "His Royal Highness has only a few hundred guards in Kaifeng. Recently, because the veterans are dissatisfied with the supervision of the country's handling of the traitors in Cao Ying, there are many people making trouble. With only a few hundred guards, it is really unsafe."
.”
Li Laiheng laughed and said: "Sun Shoufa, what are you thinking about? This is not the front line, this is Kaifeng Mansion, what danger can there be? Where do you need any guards in Kaifeng? Besides, there are many soldiers and horses of Gu Yifu in Kaifeng.
There’s really no need to worry too much. Let’s go, let’s go to the palace first, and you can send someone to call Leshan too, things are about to happen.”
"Yes, Your Highness... It's just that, Your Highness, there have been more and more mutinies and riots recently. When the Donglu soldiers are pressing down on the border, are there really so many people so unconscious? And I have never seen this generation of rebels.
They are acting more and more arrogantly, so maybe His Highness should not continue to condone them."
Li Laiheng's face darkened slightly, he looked at Sun Shoufa intently and said, "I have my own opinion."
Sun Shoufa clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head, and still advised: "Your Highness, if there is someone behind this matter who is instigating it, I am really worried that it will lead to a big chaos."
"This is impossible." Li Laiheng said seriously, "None of the qualified generals in the Dashun Army would do such a thing. It's just that some people are dissatisfied with our unfavorable handling of the rebels in Cao Camp, but that doesn't matter.
I already have a good solution. As long as this solution is announced, I think at least some people will resent the marriage relationship between me and Cao Ying, and say that I deliberately protected the traitors in Cao Ying because of this, and the matter will no longer exist.
"
Li Laiheng rarely showed such a serious and solemn expression, which shows that he did not allow anyone to sow discord among the Dashun generals. Especially after Li Zicheng died and the new emperor of Dashun had not yet been confirmed, he wanted to maintain the unity within the Dashun army.
, is something that Li Laiheng must not take lightly now.
He asked Sun Shoufa not to say these inappropriate words in front of outsiders, and arranged for soldiers to guard the house. However, after thinking for a while, Li Laiheng seemed to feel that these soldiers were not strong enough to protect the residence, so he added:
"Master Liu is the closest to me. He has a brave general named Zhang Hong who leads the elite cavalry of Three Walls. You go find Zuoying and ask Zhang Hong to lead a group of elite soldiers from Zuoying to protect Youci from this.
The border troops are insufficient and cannot cope with changes in the situation."
Sun Shoufa didn't know why, but he still agreed to King Jin's request. Then King Jin put on his armor again, jumped on his horse, and rushed with dozens of pro-army knights to the Kaifeng Palace where Empress Dowager Gao and Luo Yanqing were temporarily staying.
The Dashun Palace in Kaifeng was transformed from the Ming Dynasty's Zhou Palace. The Zhou Palace was originally built on the site of the Forbidden City of the Song and Jin Dynasties. It consists of two inner and outer city walls. The outer wall is about two feet high and is suppressed by centipede wood.
The inner city wall is made of glazed tiles, five feet high, with crenellations, surrounded by moats, and has gates on all sides. It is generally the same size as the imperial city of the Song Dynasty.
The grand scale of the Zhou Palace in Kaifeng is related to many factors such as the status of the Zhou king, the conditions and history of the ancient capital Kaifeng itself, and the people who presided over the construction of the Zhou Palace.
The size of Kaifeng City has not changed much from the Tang and Five Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, it was still the capital of Henan Province and can be said to be the largest city in Henan. The city perimeter is "twenty miles and one hundred and ninety steps". And the majestic ancient capital of Luoyang, the urban area
The changes were so drastic that by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the perimeter of Henan Fucheng was only eight miles and 345 steps, and the entire Fucheng was no larger than the area of Prince Zhou's Palace. Although Prince Fu was favored by Emperor Wanli, the size of Prince Fu's Palace in Luoyang City was
Compared with the Prince Zhou's Mansion in Kaifeng, it really feels like a small witch.
