Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1087
At this moment in Taicheng, the atmosphere can be described as gloomy.

Originally, Xi Jian left the capital and went to Langya on the holiday, which has calmed down the turbulent public.Zhuge Hui and other Taiwanese ministers are also doing the work of the Empress Dowager, striving for Wang Dao to match her identity and meritorious deeds.

Without the intrusion of too many chores, Chu Chong and others can rest assured to prepare for the subsequent rectification of officials.After all, no matter how much noise there is right now, Jiangbei is the confidant's biggest problem, and rectifying the administration of officials, as a means of check and balance in Taichung, is the top priority at the moment and cannot be interrupted by other accidents.

However, a few days after things got back on track, Shen Chong from Dunan had another moth, and he actually wanted to go to Langya in person to express his condolences.If it is someone else, it can be said that it is more important than human feelings, but this kind of words is not suitable for Shen Chong.He had a deep hatred with the Wang family, and after Wang Dao died, the rest of the Wang family only hated him and had no tolerance for him. Going to Langya would be pure chaos.

Sure enough, before the Taiwan assistants had time to meet to discuss how to persuade Shen Chong, the news of Shen Chong's attack on Qingxi in the east of the city spread to Taicheng.

This news was like a heavy hammer hitting the heartstrings of the Taifus. For a while, they didn't even know whether they should feel that Shen Chong is really talented, and he would be astonishing if he haunted him.

Shen Chong was attacked, and his life and death were unknown. The nature of this incident was much more serious than Wang Dao's death.The Taiwan assistants dared to delay the latter matter, but the former matter simply killed them.Not to mention that Shen Chong himself is the highest among the three princes, but as Shen Weizhou's father, he was chased and killed in Kinki in full view. This is forcing Jiangbei and South to use troops!
So as soon as he got the news, not only did Chu Chong immediately order Zhou Mo to summon the guards, and at any cost to determine Shen Chong's location and safety in the shortest possible time, even the empress dowager in the garden was alarmed to come out and summon the current guards. All the ministers still in Taiwan gathered in the front hall of Tai Chi to wait for the news.

His Highness Shen Ke knelt down and cried, constantly begging for Shen Chong to be rescued.The tone was so sad that it made people almost cry when they heard it, but hearing it in the ears of the stage assistants present, it made them even more irritable, and their hearts almost burned from their chests.

Although the Taiwan assistants did not witness the attack on Shen Chong with their own eyes, after calming down and thinking about it for a while, they all secretly felt that there were too many strange things in this matter. In front of the minister, even if there is any guess, it is not easy to say it directly.

"Shen Qing, please be at ease for the time being, not to mention that my father-in-law is the pillar of the country, but Shan Weizhou has worked hard for the country in the north, and his parents' family is in foster care. Now that disaster is approaching, there is absolutely no place to sit and watch Li, I will definitely rescue Sikong as soon as possible! Since she is in a state of uncertainty right now, Shen Qing might as well go home for now, if Sikong escapes to a stable place, she will definitely send someone home to report the news."

Although the empress dowager was also upset, she needed to restrain herself a little at the moment, and said a few words of comfort to Shen Ke, and then ordered her ministers to send him home.

After Shen Ke left, the empress dowager snorted coldly in the hall, and her eyes turned cold and stern: "A few years ago, there were tyrants who plundered the countryside, and the victims were still ordinary people. But now the evil happened in the capital, and the victims are also It has become the three princes in the court. I want to ask you, why is the world so bad? Is it possible that next time, disasters will happen in the Taiyuan, and the emperor and the old woman can still sleep peacefully?"

When the officials heard the empress dowager's stern reprimand, their faces were covered with cold sweat for a while, their heads drooped, and they were silent.As for the few Taifu who couldn't be avoided, since Chu Chong, they all left the seat in a hurry and bowed down without their crowns: "I am afraid, I am waiting for death..."

"Great evil happens frequently, and there are sinners who deserve to die!"

The empress dowager was really tormented by the turbulent changes in the situation, and she had no patience. She vented the suffocation accumulated for a long time: "The evil happened suddenly, and the crime was due to oversight. Let alone it. But now the matter has passed for a few days. At the hour, seeing that the sky is getting late and there is no news sent back, who can tell whether I, Shen Sikong, is alive or dead?"

When Chu Chong and the others heard this, their expressions became even more embarrassing, and they couldn't help complaining to Zhou Mo, who was in charge of the search, that no matter what he got or not, he should at least fabricate one or two clues to report back. chance?

"Send another guard, if you can't save Sikong, don't let the guards see me again!"

The empress dowager said sharply again that her dissatisfaction with the ministers was mainly focused on the position of the guard.Although she may not trust the patriarch Wei Chong very much, but this is the candidate she appointed, but without any clear reason, he was driven away by the Taifu and replaced by Zhou Mo, which disrupted his arrangements for the court. .

Chu Chong frowned slightly after hearing the words, and said hastily: "Right now the Sixth Army's barracks are dispatched. If we send more troops, I'm afraid it will affect the defense of the capital and even Taiyuan..."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in her heart. The safety of Taiyuan was the most sensitive string in her heart, and it was always tense. Although Su Zu's rebellion had passed for many years, the chaotic scene was still in her dreams. appeared and woke her up.

Hearing what Chu Chong said, the Empress Dowager no longer insisted on sending more manpower, but instead said angrily: "Maybe I don't know how to handle things! In the early years, the son-in-law was rebuilt in Du Shanzhi, and it also generated more income for the public money. It is not useless. Why is there no soldiers to use when things come to an end? It is still not awe-inspiring in Jinei. Why did they force the guards to be idled in the inner city of Xuancheng? Could it be that the 10,000+ elites in Jiangbei Master Yong, a virtuous minister, can't protect the people of Jiangdong to sleep?"

As soon as this remark came out, the face of Chu Chong who presided over the matter inevitably became even more ugly. He could also hear that if this matter did not have a good result, Zhou Mo, the guard, would definitely move.

However, the Empress Dowager's intentions were not limited to this, she turned and said: "Since the guards are useless, where is the town near? Li Yang is a relative of a famous family..."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Before the empress dowager finished speaking, Chu Chong, Zhuge Hui and others in the hall hurriedly interrupted in unison. The empress dowager's complexion became even more ugly because of the tacit understanding.

Several Taiwan assistants secretly exchanged glances, and in the end, Zhuge Hui, who hadn't provoked the empress dowager's bottom line too much, said: "After all, the positions of the outer town and the inner house are different. Famous ministers are trustworthy, but the soldiers are hard to understand. Even if If there is a need for scheduling, it is not advisable to rush, and things should be slowed down, and taught by laws..."

Zhuge Hui was still pondering his words, trying to delay the empress dowager's intention for a while.But when he was halfway through the speech, there was a dull and long sound of drums and trumpets in the city outside the hall.

After hearing these voices, there was an uproar in the entire Tai Chi front hall, and the emperor, who was sitting firmly on the hall and was dozing his head down, woke up suddenly. Said: "Mother, where is the chaos..."

The Empress Dowager's arrogance disappeared at this moment, and she stretched her arms to hold the emperor in her arms. She was terrified and even broke her voice: "Why is the drum beating? Go and find out quickly! Call the six armies into the arch..."

The sounding of drums and trumpets in Taicheng is a new regulation after Suzu's rebellion, and it was used as a warning after a real military disaster occurred in Kinki.So when the drum sounded, the empress dowager and the emperor were as panic-stricken as birds, and the expressions of all the officials in the palace also changed suddenly. They felt that the sky had suddenly darkened, and they were sweating profusely.

Without hesitation, several officials rushed into the hall in a hurry, and before they even had time to kneel down, they rushed in and shouted: "The people in Langya County have revolted, and the rebellious people have taken control of Wang Taifu's house and turned to attack Jincheng..."

Hearing this news, everyone in the hall was stunned, and each made a gesture of astonishment.Zhuge Hui was the first to react. Within a moment, his whole body seemed to be picked up from the water, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "There is an evil in the village, and I can't absolve myself of the blame. Please resign!" Apologize, and then ask for an order to lead the crowd to kill the evil in the village!"

"This this……"

The empress dowager's eyes widened at the moment, although she was no longer trembling with shock, she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"How can the ruling position be decided because of civil unrest! Besides, the details of the current civil unrest are unknown, so please call the guards back to the government, prepare six armies to the east of the big beam, and take deep precautions, and then send fine cavalry eastward to spy ..."

Chu Chong also came to his senses at this moment, glanced at Zhuge Hui suspiciously, and said the same loudly.

"According to what Situ said, the two thousand stones in the platform will immediately enter the arch... No, no, then urgently call Liyang Zhigong to lead the people into the guard, send people, immediately send people to Guangling to inform the son-in-law, and order him to organize the army to calm down Betrayal, go, go!"

The empress dowager's thoughts were finally organized at this moment, and she immediately made emergency arrangements, but both of these arrangements made the Taifu's mood plummet to the bottom.Although in normal seasons, the empress dowager also knew rationally that she should be vigilant against the powerful clan, but once turmoil occurred, the No. 1 choice and the first choice in her mind would be her virtuous son-in-law, so she no longer had any scruples.

After Chu Chong and the others heard the words, they hurriedly wanted to stop, but He Chong who was behind hurriedly tugged on their robes to imply no.Right now, the Empress Dowager is terrified and yearns for a sense of security. If they obstruct at this moment, it will undoubtedly intensify the conflict.

Anyway, no matter what choice the empress dowager makes, they are in charge of the edict, and the first thing to do now is to deeply investigate what is going on in Langya civil disorder, and it is really inappropriate to have unnecessary disputes in the palace.

So the officials rushed to send the emperor and the empress dowager into the garden, while leaving some people to guard.Then Chu Chong and the Taiwan assistants hurried back to the stage to make arrangements.

At this moment, Chu Chong looked at Zhuge Hui with a livid face and said bitterly: "What is the mess in Langya? Is this the result that Daoming likes to see? Liang Gonggong is proud, and his father's life and death are unknown at the moment. If he comes from the south Putting down the chaos, you and I have no good return!"

Zhuge Hui was also sweating profusely at the moment and didn't have time to wipe it off. He didn't have the mood to care about Chu Chong's attitude at all, he just stomped his feet and said angrily: "Bad boy, bad boy! How dare you not report such a big evil... I knew it earlier... Today, Wang’s son should not have been born in Jiangzhou in the early years!”

Seeing that Zhuge Hui was also shocked by the news and spoke incoherently, even if the others were angry, they could only hold back for a while.I'm just thinking about the current chaos in reverse, and I feel even more headaches, Shen Chong's escape, the civil chaos in Langya, and the empress dowager jumping over the wall to attract forces that shouldn't be attracted are all life-threatening events, and I don't even know for a while Which one should be dealt with.

After several discussions with each other, the people decided to divide the guards into two parts. One part of Danyang and Wu Zhongliang's family will be used to search for Shen Chong's whereabouts, and the other part will be immediately transferred to Fuzhoushan to defend against danger.

But after making these arrangements, there was a sudden letter from the court saying that a court edict had just been sent out privately, and the whereabouts were undecided!
