The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty
Chapter 106 Geng Jichang
Chapter 106 Geng Jichang
The moon hangs on the branches, the night is quiet, in the backyard of the mansion, the warm yellow light is cutting out the figure of a person and casting it on the window lattice, and there are faint voices in the study.
"How did you know that the son-in-law vomited blood?"
"Your Majesty just came out of the concubine's mansion, and was summoned by the teacher to the mansion to listen to several court ministers discussing the matter of city defense. As a result, the palace servant Gu Chang sent someone to send news that Tian Shumi took His Majesty out of the city quietly."
"what?!"
A voice of astonishment resounded suddenly, followed by a 'bang' sound of a teacup being smashed, Zhang Zhifang stood up from behind the desk, his eyes glared angrily, looked at Geng Qing below, turned around and walked towards the thread carving The arch curtain, and called a guard from outside to come in.
"You take my general order, go to the son-in-law's mansion to watch the left servant shoot!"
"Here!"
The guard left, the door closed again, Zhang Zhifang turned around, passed his son, stood in front of Geng Qing, and pressed his lips tightly for a while.
"Mr. Geng Lang and my son have acquainted each other. I have heard some rumors about Mr. Lang. I will come here tonight to tell you about it, but do you have other ideas?"
Geng Qing was not afraid of the power of a warrior, looked at him for a moment, and nodded.
"The son-in-law is seriously ill and can't manage the council. Zheng Xiangyuan went to Fengxiang to serve as Jiedushi. Lu Xiang has a strong temperament, but his spirit is weak. Right now, only the Zuo Jinwu Guard in the city can control the situation in the city."
Zhang Zhifang frowned, and nodded in agreement, "Go ahead." Immediately, he sat back behind the desk, sat down on the chair, pressed his hands to his knees, and waited for the next sentence with majestic eyes.
"Your Majesty left the city quietly. Naturally, there were not many soldiers and horses with him. There are two solutions at the moment. One, the general has the authority to control the imperial city's imperial army, and lead the rest of the Divine Strategy Army out of the city overnight to recover His Majesty. The city is waiting for all parties to come to help."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhifang waved his hand and refused without even thinking about it. It is easy to bring back the emperor, but hijacking the emperor is a serious crime. Even if there is a reason for the incident, if Chang'an survives, there is no guarantee that he will not be punished by Qiuhou.
"No, let's talk about the next one."
"The second one is much simpler. Kaicheng surrenders without hurting any soldiers."
"You asked Ben to take the lead in throwing himself at the thief?!"
The big hand slammed the desk, and Zhang Zhifang got up from the chair again, so frightened that Zhang Huaiyi hurried over to persuade his father to calm down, turned his head and smiled wryly, and asked Geng Qing to explain.
"If there is anything else to say later, finish it in one breath, half of the words are scary."
Geng Qing smiled at him, held up his sleeves and saluted the first old man, "General, don't be angry, listen to me, now the situation in Chang'an is hard to recover, the rebels outside the city have been ravaging the north and south for many years, the soldiers are elite, rather than die If the common people are affected outside the city, it is better to open the city and surrender, to make the thieves more sympathetic, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive in Gyeonggi before thinking about fighting back."
"Your Majesty, you want me to feign surrender?"
Geng Qing nodded: "For the current plan, we can only retreat to advance, first save the lives of the whole family, and then plan for the future."
They are all big figures in the court, Zhang Zhifang pondered for a moment, the pros and cons are obvious, how could he not know how the Shence Army is, if they really want to fight, they will cry out of fright even if they stand on the top of the wall, let alone draw a bow, lift a knife and chop people.
"Your words are not unreasonable, let me think about it."
Geng Qing bowed his hands, and stopped talking. If you talk too much, you will be suspected of teaching people how to do things, but it will be annoying, especially for those in high positions, let alone pointing out the country in front of them.
Coming out of the mansion, Geng Qing bid farewell to Zhang Huaiyi, then got into the carriage, ordered Dachun to turn around and go to Jing Zhaoyin Li Tang's mansion. Although he is not a scholar, his relationship with the son-in-law can still allow the other party to see him. The same words were repeated again, and what was said was probably to remind the emperor that when he left the capital, there would be chaos in the city, and beware of the young people taking the opportunity to plunder the city.
When I came out again, it was already late at night, and when I returned to Yong’an Square, the courtyard was still lit. Wang Jinqiu sat in the room and fanned her husband, helped the crowd gather under the eaves and whispered under the tree, and Qiao Niang sat with Widow Zhang. At the stairs, when everyone saw Geng Qing coming back, they felt relieved and went back to the room one by one. In the window with lights on, the woman blew out the lights and lay down next to her husband to sleep.
After taking off his clothes, Geng Qing lay on the bed not long after, the door opened, and a slender figure slipped into the room, got into his bed, and looked at the handsome side face without blinking.
Smelling the fragrance of Bai Yunxiang's body, Geng Qing touched her face, closed her eyes and went to sleep, before going to sleep, said softly: "When you come to Chang'an and encounter such a thing, you are all worried."
The woman in his arms didn't speak, but just burrowed into his arms.
The people in the courtyard fell asleep, but for the officials in the court, it was a sleepless night.
The halls of the Baiguan Mansion have already been alarmed, one by one carriages drove out of the mansion, and the men and women who were closer put on their robes while walking, hand in hand with their colleagues who also went out, and anxiously went to the Concubine's Mansion together to confirm that this is amazing Things like a farce continued until dawn, and everyone had to accept this fact.
At this moment, the safety and danger of the capital shrouded the heads of these civil and military officials, down to various officials, and then down to errands and soldiers. When it was almost dawn, the whole Chang'an became tense in such an atmosphere. The emperor was not in the palace. Various small-scale frictions also began to appear. Zuo Jinwu Guard Zhang Zhifang immediately stood up to take charge of the overall situation, captured the Imperial City Shence Army, and forcibly suppressed the signs of conflicts that burst out.
In mid-October, the news of the fall of Tongguan still spread in the city. As for the emperor’s escape to Shu, the people held him silent. The atmosphere in the city was extremely panicked and tense. There was a long queue, but after that, the four doors were closed tightly, and people were no longer allowed to come in and out.
25 This afternoon, Geng Qing's carriage stopped at the son-in-law's mansion, and the steward of the mansion welcomed him into the backyard, first met with Princess Guangde, and then arranged for him to enter a bedroom.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. When he opened the door and entered, Geng Qing saw Yu Cong, the son-in-law who was lying on the bed and being fed medicine by the servant girl. The old man's face was thin and dull, and his eyes were sunken. Seeing Geng Qing who had closed the door and turned around, he smiled, and weakly raised his hand to let him find a chair to sit on.
"I heard them say...surrender."
Geng Qing moved a round stool and sat in front of the old man, took the medicine bowl from the maid, blew hot air, and fed it to the old man, "Well, the general is already working on this, the news just came, The grass army has already passed Tongguan, and it may reach Bashang in a day or two."
The old man smiled, and didn't mean to blame him. Maybe he was thinking about it, or he was disheartened, so he just raised his hand and pushed the spoon away.
"The old man finally understands Liu Yunzhang's feelings and your idea, right? Hehe. It would be good to keep the people of Chang'an and let the court civil and military people live more. If you can tell the old man, what will you do in the future?"
"Take one step and look at two steps. The rebels have not yet entered the city, and the people are not familiar with them, so it is difficult to plan."
There was a smile in Yu Cong's eyes, and he shook his head in disbelief: "You're a man who keeps his words to himself, and keeps things secret."
"My son-in-law understands me."
Hehehe.
The old man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then he laughed out loud, as if someone was talking with him, he felt happy, his eyes turned to the candlestick on the table with cloudy eyes, at this time the maids in the room had already gone out, he said softly.
". Cao Jun has no foundation and wanders around. Now that he has entered Chang'an, he must have a foothold. Huang Chao is ambitious and has resentment towards my Tang Dynasty. If you surrender to him, it will not be difficult for you to stand out with your talents, but it is not difficult. Good thing, from the name of a thief, it is difficult to wash away."
The old man's words were sincere and gentle, he probably guessed what Geng Qing wanted to do, and tried to analyze for him some available things and the troubles he might encounter in the future.
Geng Qing reached out to hold the old man's hand, and nodded with a smile, "That's true, but I still have to do it, it's just a stigma, and I'm not a scholar, so I don't value these things too much."
The old man just hummed, and there was some light in his eyes, "At an extraordinary time, you should do extraordinary things. Geng Qing, how old are you now?"
"It turned eighteen last month."
"Is there any mention?"
Seeing Geng Qing shaking his head, the old man patted the back of his hand with a smile, "Why don't I give you a word. The young one, the four seasons are always there, so I mentioned Ji Chang, Geng Jichang."
The sun shines in through the open window, and the light and dust are flying, Geng Qing is slightly silent, looking at the old man who was talking with him on the bed, he started to laugh, and chatted for a long time, the old man was not in good spirits, and fell asleep while talking past.
Putting down the medicine bowl, Geng Qing covered the quilt for him, got up and walked outside the door, bid farewell to Princess Guangde and left, the long street outside was crowded with people, and teams of horse-drawn carriages drove to the outside of the city.
It is the team that went to Baqiao to present the letter of surrender.
"Mr. Geng Lang."
The crowd on the long street was noisy, and a familiar voice sounded behind Geng Qing. Turning around, Jiuyu, dressed in ordinary clothes, was walking over. He came to visit Yu Cong's condition, and he also came to see Geng Qing along the way.
Afterwards, the person came over here, speaking coldly and concisely.
"Aye invites you to enter the palace."
"Ok?"
At this time, the imperial city has no owner, so it's not that Geng Qing can enter if he wants to, but the emperor is not in the palace right now, the guards are lax, and it is not difficult to enter with the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Geng Qing cupped his hands, and when the young eunuch came out after entering the consort's mansion, the two of them took a carriage together, passed through the bustling neighborhoods, and drove into the Anfu Gate of the imperial city.
At the end of the long palace wall is the Yeting Palace of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
