In the cradle, the eldest son of the Han emperor was sleeping soundly, while a little girl lay beside the cradle, stretched out her hand and turned it around on the baby's head. Then she felt bored, turned around and walked towards the door step by step. Several people The wet nurse hurriedly followed, but Zhang Lihua was already waiting at the door. When she saw Princess Jinling running over, she hurriedly greeted her: "Where do you want to go today, little darling?"
Princess Jinling waved her hands outwards, obviously wanting to express that no matter where she went, she would just go out and have fun. Zhang Lihua had already expected that she would lead the nannies and "hug each other", okay? Spectacular.
As soon as Princess Jinling left, Cuiwei Palace became completely quiet. The little prince was sleeping and the other maids did not dare to speak.
The water in the teacup was steaming. Lechang sat in front of the table with a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" on the table. Shen Wuhua picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiling and said: "Jiankang Mansion has already There are ups and downs. Is the queen being too steady here?"
Lechang turned over a page of the book and shook his head: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."
Shen Wuhua was startled for a moment and looked at the Analects of Confucius in surprise: "Why don't I remember that there is such a sentence in the Analects of Confucius?"
"Your Majesty said this." Lechang said with a smile, "I just suddenly remembered it, and I didn't say it was Saint Kong who said it."
Shen Wuhua rolled his eyes.
There's really no way to refute this.
But is it true that no action is taken?
Shen Wuhua didn't believe it: "Since the implementation of the new policy of the Ministry of Revenue, there have been many voices of dissent in Jiankang Mansion. Even the Prime Minister has conveyed the following dissatisfaction several times. Obviously, even if he personally supports His Majesty's decision Such a decision cannot withstand the pressure from below. Have you always planned to wait and see, Le'er? I'm afraid that if you wait and see for a long time, something unexpected will happen, and how will we deal with it then?"
Although it was said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, Li Xingchen left Lechang and Shen Wuhua in Jiankang Mansion so that they could keep an eye on the direction of Jiankang Mansion, and Prime Minister Gu Yewang was not a fool. All memorials sent to the emperor's palace would be A copy was sent to the palace, which was said to be for the purpose of keeping files in the palace, but the main purpose was to let Lechang and Shen Wuhua review it.
The power of Baipao in Jiankang Mansion, as well as the bodyguards and imperial guards who stayed behind in Jiankang, were also in Lechang's hands.
The Han Dynasty has long implemented the policy of internal transfer of the border army to enrich the bodyguard and pro-army forces, so the commanders of the bodyguard and pro-army armies are almost all border army generals. For example, the one currently in Jiankang Prefecture is Lu Qing, who was born in the Eight Tribes of the Ba people. Qing was born a barbarian, and his Ba soldiers had the highest combat effectiveness among the eight tribes of the Ba people. Li Xingchen kept them in Jiankang Mansion instead of taking them to the north because of the loyalty and bravery of these people.
Moreover, Lu Qing has been in battle for a long time and is a famous general among the Ba people after Du Qi and Li Xun. If an accident does happen, he still has the ability to make a prompt decision.
Moreover, the Eight Tribes of the Ba people and the southeastern gentry from Jiankang Prefecture certainly had no favors and even hatred, because when the Eight Tribes of the Ba people followed Li Xingchen to attack the southeast, they were always in the front because they were brave and good at fighting, and before them Most of the generals who were blocking the way were from the Southeast noble families, so the deaths and injuries of the Ba people could naturally be attributed to the Southeast families.
As long as Lechang gives the order, Lu Qing will definitely use his knife on the southeastern nobles without hesitation.
In addition, the Han army's land division in Guangling on the north bank of the river and the Han army's navy in Jingkou on the south bank are already ready. The navy is led by Wang Chang, a famous soldier of the Han army, who was also the old man who followed Li Xinchen into Shu, and Guangling's navy
The Lu Division was in the hands of Xiao Shilue, Xiao Mohe's second son. Xiao Shilue had seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses. Although they were all newcomers, and even the generals were newcomers, their loyalty was first-class.
Not to mention that Li Xun from Lingnan had been ordered to lead his army northward. The external name was to change defenses with the Han army in Jingzhou. However, he followed the waterway from the Li River to the Ling Canal and then entered the Xiang River. However, the fleet did not leave Dongting and go to the nearby area.
At Jiangling, which is just around the corner, we went down the river to Anqing, where the Han Dynasty Navy had already gone to meet us and conduct exercises in Anqing.
This is why there were many provocations in Linyi in the south, but the Han army did not launch a counterattack because the main force was no longer around and no one dared to start a war rashly.
Nowadays, there are large armies gathered in Jingkou, Guazhou, Anqing and other places around Jiankang Prefecture. If something unexpected happens here in Jiankang Prefecture, the Navy can transfer all the troops within two days while there is no military front on the river.
To Jiankang Mansion!
The talismans of these soldiers and horses were not only in the hands of Li Xingchen, but also in the hands of Lechang.
This is why Lechang has the courage to enjoy tea and read here, because she is indeed qualified to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. Those who are really anxious should be the southeastern gentry outside!
However, no matter how firmly you sit on the Diaoyutai, you must face the reality that the family may take action at any time, even to the death!
So Shen Wuhua was still a little nervous.
After all, as a weak woman, she never thought that one day the fate of the country would be tied to her.
"There is not much time left for them," Lechang did not know that he said a famous saying for later generations. "When His Majesty arrives at Jiankang Mansion in ten days, everything will be settled. By then, no one will be able to challenge a newly occupied
Throughout Guanzhong, the majesty of the man who captured Yang Jian alive."
"But there are still ten days." Shen Wuhua gritted his teeth, "Maybe they plan to make Your Majesty make the same mistake as Liu Jinu."
During the Northern Expedition, Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, had completely leveled the battle line to the Yellow River. As a result, who would have thought that changes would occur in Jiankang Prefecture. Liu Yu had no choice but to return south, causing the results of the Northern Expedition to be wasted. Although Liu Yu put down the rebellion,
However, the Xianbei people in the north have moved south on a large scale, and it is not that easy to fight their way back to the Yellow River.
If Jiankang Mansion is in chaos at this time, then Yu Wenxian may really launch a counterattack, leaving Li Xingchen in a dilemma. It is also difficult to judge who will win and lose in Jiankang Mansion. If Jiankang Mansion falls under the control of the southeastern gentry,
Among them, failure to protect them will lead to division in the entire Han Dynasty!
"Hold on for another ten days." Lechang whispered.
The storm is about to come, so how can she not feel it?
But as a queen, and as the backbone of everyone staying in Jiankang Mansion, she cannot be messed up.
After pondering for a moment, Lechang said: "We have summoned the Prime Minister, the two Dukes Pei, Duke Tang, Duke Ren and the six ministers to enter the palace. This is an important matter and there is no need to hesitate."
The Prime Minister is King Gu Ye, the two Pei Gongs are Pei Yi, the provincial minister, and Pei Ji, the imperial censor. The Duke of Tang is Tang Yishun, the Shang Shu Province. The Duke of Ren is Ren Zhong, the general of the Wei. There is no one in the Taiwei Mansion, and the general of the Wei is the army.
Fang was the commander-in-chief of Jiankang Mansion, not to mention the six ministers, he was almost the central figure in the entire Han Dynasty.
