Chapter 389 Raise an Army in the Mall (ask for a monthly ticket)
Kong Wensheng had never seen whether the edict was true or not, and even if he had seen it, he would not be able to tell the difference.

He just felt that Yongning Hou, as the number one general under the late emperor's command, would not do anything to "insult" the late emperor.

not to mention……

Kong Wensheng's eyes fell on the call to action again.

Duke Ding, no, it's His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. This article is really well written.

The gratitude to the adoptive father, the remembrance of the deceased father, and the filial piety to the sick mother are vivid on the paper.

This expression of true feelings is incomparable with gorgeous diction and literary talent.

Every word and every sentence can fall into the hearts of people who read this article.

After all, the people all over the world are angry with Qiyang Yan's for opening private mines and concealing production, and they are angry and talk about it, but what they dug is the national treasury, and they didn't hurt their own pockets.

And when it comes to parents, who doesn't have parents?
Anyway, he, Kong Wensheng, was very touched.

Just as he was feeling emotional, a small official ran outside and bowed to Kong Wensheng.

"What's wrong?" Kong Wensheng asked.

"Someone sent a handwritten letter to the gate of the city and handed it over to the garrison, saying that it will be handed over to you, my lord," the clerk replied, "That man is wearing a soldier's armor. He should be a member of the army stationed outside the city. The garrison sent it right away."

When Kong Wensheng heard this, he jumped up.

The letter from the garrison must be the meaning of the emperor's grandson and Yongninghou.

What do they want to do?
Ask him whether the mall borrows troops or grain?

Will he give it or not?
If you were to ask him if he wanted to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", would he vote?

The more Kong Wensheng thought about it, the more nervous he became, he opened the letter and took a look.

There are only two lines of words on the top, the meaning is very clear, the army will leave tomorrow, let him do what he is supposed to do, don't join in the fun.

Kong Wensheng: ...

boring.

He sat back down again.

In the morning, he and his two fellow acquaintances clearly discussed the idea of ​​"playing dead", but now thinking about it, "playing dead" has no meaning at all?
The night darkens and fades.

At dawn, the army by the river pulled out its stronghold and officially marched north.

At the same time, a fast horse entered the capital and went straight to the gate of the palace. The servant took over the urgent document from thousands of miles away and delivered it day and night, and ran towards the Golden Luan Hall in three steps at a time.

In the main hall, the morning atmosphere was dull.

The emperor raised his voice and asked: "Haven't you figured out where they led their troops? Investigating the whereabouts of the enemy soldiers is such a difficult thing?"

This "enemy soldier" made Dong Shilang feel very uncomfortable.

He said in a low voice: "According to the report, they should have arrived at the mall and stationed outside the city."

The word "mall" made the emperor's face turn pale.

It's not that he didn't speculate about Lin Fan's marching route, he also thought about Mount Tai, the mall, the imperial mausoleum and other places, but when his guess was confirmed, the emperor's heart beat extremely violently.

There is no doubt that Lin Fan is going to reveal his trump card.

What will they say, how much evidence is there, whether the presumed will exists or not...

All kinds of questions swarmed him, making him sit on the dragon chair, speechless for a long time.

This kind of silence made Dong Shilang baffled.

He thought that the emperor would ask why the army stopped in the mall.

He will answer loudly "I don't know"!
I don't know the reason, let alone whether the Marquis of Yongning and Duke Dingguo should be called "enemy soldiers".

It is true that the actions of the old Hou Ye and the others are really inappropriate, but they were all forced out by the emperor.

The hall was silent for a while, and the servant appeared at this time.

Xu Shi was frightened by the dignified atmosphere in the hall, his feet sank, he tripped over the high threshold, staggered a few steps, and fell beside Dong Shilang.

Dong Shilang lifted him up.

The servant trembled, his voice trembling: "Marquis Yongning, no, no, no, the rebels Qin Yin, Lin Fan and others raised troops in the mall and marched into the capital. This is the rebel's declaration of war and a letter to the world."

The lingering sound lingered, and for a long time, none of the civil and military ministers in the row made a sound.

Believe it or not, Marquis Yongning and Duke Ding, seeing the current situation, rather than being surprised, felt more like "the dust has settled".

It should come, it will always come.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor let out a breath slowly, and said, "I just said that they had rebelled a long time ago, and it was just a pretext for Qing Jun's side."

Dong Shilang gritted his teeth.

Why?

It's clear what Qi Yangyan committed.

The Ministry of Industry cooperated with other yamen, together with Huang Taishi and Fan Taibao, investigated the inside story of Qiyang mining.

From the beginning to the end, no one framed the Yan family.

If you really want to say it was a pretext, it was Yan who committed the crime first and was caught.

Having said that, there is no so-called "rebellion" or "rebellion". After Ding Guogong returned to the capital, he also wanted to reveal the matter of Qiyang mining.

How could Da Zhou keep such moths? !

Dong Shilang's heart was agitated, and he didn't care about any rules or irregularities, so he took all the notices from the servant's hand.

The first thing he unfolded was the letter to the world, and after just one glance, his eyes turned into copper bells.

He raised his head to look at the emperor, he looked down at the call to action, Dong Shilang was heartbroken, and opened his mouth to read.

The voice is loud and the words are clear.

The lingering sound in the hall was like a surging river, impacting everyone's hearts over and over again.

Baiguan's eyes were undisguised, looking straight at Shengyan, full of astonishment, puzzlement, and hesitation.

The same is true for Grand Master Huang.

He thinks that he is the most strategizing person.

He knew Lin Fan's true identity, knew that the Marquis of Yongning held the will, and knew that the purpose of their journey was the Wuwang Temple in the mall, but he didn't know that the death of the former crown prince was a conspiracy.

The most ruthless imperial family.

For the sake of the throne, brothers fight against each other, this is not new, it has been seen many times in history books.

Taishi Huang has seen too many intrigues, but he never thought about the death of the first prince.

Is he too naive to see through?
Is it because Lin Xuan firmly stood on the side of "falling from the horse was an accident", and did he trust the other party?

No.

It's just that he didn't think about it seriously.

At that time, his heart was inclined to the emperor.

The crown prince died first, and the emperor was the only and most suitable successor. As the emperor's supporter, how could he think about things that were not good for the emperor?

As if mocking himself, Grand Master Huang shook his head.

On the other side, Feng Zhong couldn't recover for a long time.

Outside Qiyang City that day, the words he talked with Anbeihou and Yongninghou turned over and over in his mind.

He once said that if the old Hou Ye could not give a reason to persuade him in the future, even if it was convenient at that time, he would still meet with each other at that time.

Now, he waited for this answer.

"Worth worthy of the late emperor and worthy of the Great Zhou" without adulteration.

At the same time, he also understood the reason why Lord Hou asked them to return to Beijing first.

As soon as the first emperor's edict came out, he and An Beihou had no choice but to fight or follow suit.

Fighting is not good for the old Hou Ye.

Then, their family members in Beijing became hostages in the hands of the emperor.

Old Hou Ye thought it over.

Not to mention how the Marquis of Anbei was selected, he, Feng Zhong, who had followed the former emperor and the former prince, could not regard the edict as nothing.

Feng Zhong quietly looked at An Beihou, wanting to have an eye fight with him.

Anbeihou hadn't responded yet, suddenly, a person stood in the center of the hall.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors, talk nonsense!" That man was Uncle Zhongqin who had volunteered to guard the city before. He clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, please lead the army and wipe out the culprits!"

　Although I really want to have a vacation, but the follow-up content will be well written, and it will not be anticlimactic.
