marquis of jingan

In the blink of an eye, it was several days.

A middle-aged man in his early 30s appeared in Jiankang City. After he arrived in Jiankang, he found Jiankang's Mansion News Agency, and quickly spread the news to the palace through the Mansion News Agency.

Not long after the news reached the palace, two eunuchs found him, and after verifying his identity, they took him directly into the palace.

In the afternoon, he was taken to the Ganlu Hall and met His Majesty the Emperor.

After seeing the emperor, he knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed and said: "Luo Yong, the secretary of the residence, kowtows to His Majesty..."

The emperor nodded and beckoned him to stand up and answer. After Luo Yong stood up, the emperor asked, "Come back from Xuzhou?"

"Yes."

Luo Yong bowed his head respectfully and said: "The villain was ordered by Shen Sizheng to break out from Xuzhou and come to see His Majesty..."

The emperor frowned, and said: "Since you are the secretary of the residence, you are the seventh-rank official of the imperial court, and you will become a minister when you see me."

Luo Yong was startled, knelt on the ground again, bowed his head and kowtowed: "Little...Wei...Wei Chen is from a grassroots background and doesn't know the rules. Your Majesty Wanwang forgives me..."

The emperor waved his hand, shook his head and said, "I told you to get up and answer."

"Wei Chen obeys."

He got up from the ground in a panic and stood with his hands down.

The emperor took a look at him, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "I remember, Shen Qi mentioned you in front of me, he said that whether it is to go to the Huaihe Naval Camp or to the main Li Huaian, you helped him a lot."

"This is a matter of humble ministers, and it is not worth mentioning."

The emperor nodded and said, "What did Qing Qing say? Have you sent any letters back?"

Luo Yong didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly took out the letter written by Shen Yi from his bosom, held it in his hands, without the emperor needing to speak, Gao Ming immediately stepped forward, took the letter, and held it back to the emperor.

The emperor was not in a hurry to open the letter, but just looked at Luo Yong and asked, "Is there anything else Shen Qing wants to say?"

Luo Yong looked around, then lowered his head and said nothing.

The emperor smiled dumbly: "It seems that the Di Baosi has done a good job, and you are quite vigilant."

As he said that, he waved his hand, and eunuch Gao gave the surrounding palaces a look, and the palaces serving in the Ganlu Palace retreated one after another.

Luo Yong then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Sizheng and the Huai'an Army are now in Xuzhou City. There is sufficient food and grass, and Xuzhou City is also in order. If you want to keep it going, it will be no problem until the end of the year."

"However, the Secretary of the Dibao received news a few days ago that the puppet emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty was seriously ill and was dying. Sizheng, he has no news and cannot confirm the authenticity of the news. Therefore, he sent a humble official back to Jiankang to confirm whether the matter is true."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, but he did not reply, but opened the secret letter Shen Yi wrote to him.

The first half of the letter is similar to what Luo Yong said, while the second half is Shen Yi's views on the situation.

"If the Northern Qi has no heir, if the false emperor dies, the Hu Dynasty will inevitably be chaotic. At that time, my master Wang can take advantage of the situation and go north to recover the two provinces of Henan and Shandong..."

"The land of the Central Plains is restored, and the people's livelihood and national strength of our dynasty will be incomparable immediately. Even if the chaos in the Northern Dynasty has ended, our dynasty only needs to digest these two provinces, and the trend of driving the Hulu northward will be unstoppable."

"If the puppet emperor pretends to be sick and pretends to be dead, then my Huai'an army will not move. In half a year, it can consume a lot of Qi people's vitality. Next year, the imperial court can also send troops to the north to crusade against Hu Qi, so as to achieve a great cause."

"What is the truth about it, I am in Xuzhou, so I don't know."

"Your Majesty's talent is sharp, and I respectfully invite the Holy Judge."

The emperor quickly finished reading the symphony, then put it aside, then looked at Luo Yong, and said with a smile: "This guy Shen Qi has also learned how to flatter others."

"Tell me well, what's going on in Xuzhou City now."

Luo Yong bowed his head respectfully, and narrated the events in Xuzhou city.

He is a member of the Di Baosi, and he personally participated in the plan to destroy Xuzhou City, so he naturally knows how Xuzhou City was destroyed.

Immediately, he told the emperor all the ins and outs of the matter.

After he finished speaking, the emperor clapped his hands and sighed, "This Lin Sheng has really done a great job."

"When he returns to Jiankang, I will reward him well."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Luo Yong again, and said with a smile: "And you, Luo Yong, it is not easy for you to return to Jiankang from the siege of the Qi people, and I will reward you again."

Luo Yong lowered his head and thanked him respectfully.

The emperor stroked his chin and asked suddenly.

"This Lin Sheng, when did you go to Beiqi?"

Luo Yong was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter was arranged by Shen Sizheng. I don't know about it. I only know that Lin Siwu was originally one of the eight team leaders of the Dibao Division. Disappeared without a sound."

The emperor smiled and said, "Estimate the time."

Luo Yong thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Siwu Lin probably went to the north at the beginning of Hongde's 11th year."

The emperor lowered his head and counted the days, then said softly, "It's been two and a half years."

After saying this, he smiled at Luo Yong, and said: "Okay, your journey back to Jiankang has been quite hard, go back and rest first, the reward I will give you will be prepared later .”

Luo Yong knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

After kowtowing, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to reply to Shen Sizheng, and I will send you back to Xuzhou as soon as possible?"

The emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "All the things that can't be risky are done by the Di Baosi. Don't worry, the order I gave to Shen Qing will let the inner guard find a way to send it to Xuzhou city."

Only then did Luo Yong feel relieved, and after kowtowing, he left respectfully.

Sitting on the throne, His Majesty the Emperor looked at Luo Yong's disappearing figure, and suddenly asked a question.

"Gao Ming, Hongde in the first half of 11..."

"Is Shen Qi still in the southeast?"

"Yes."

Gao Ming bowed his head and said, "At that time, the southeast Japanese suppression had not yet ended, and the Shibo Division had not yet been completed."

His Majesty the Emperor clapped his hands and praised: "My Shen Aiqing is really capable."

He smiled at Gao Ming and asked: "You said that at that time, even if Shen Qi had come to today's change in Xuzhou, he just made things casually and didn't think much about it?"

"The servant thinks it's probably the latter."

He whispered: "People's hearts are like smoke and unpredictable. No one can calculate what will happen a few years later. At that time, Shen Sizheng probably just asked the Di Baosi to be in Beiqi for future use."

The emperor stroked his chin, nodded and said: "Speaking of it, he seems to have mentioned these things to me, but I answered them casually at the time, and then there were too many things, so I forgot."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Gao Ming, and said calmly: "Go and inform the inner guards, all the news of Yandu, and send two copies in the future, one to the palace, and the other to find a way to send to Xuzhou."

"If it is too difficult to enter Xuzhou, then contact Shen Yi and ask him to help."

Gao Ming bowed his head immediately: "Your servant obeys."

The emperor thought for a while and continued: "Send [-] forbidden troops to Huai'an Mansion, ready to go north to support Xuzhou City at any time."

"also…"

When the emperor said this, he touched his chin and thought for a while, and asked, "Can my gold medal be sent to Xuzhou City?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Gao bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this..."

"Your servant must ask Lu Weishuai first."

"it is good."

The emperor nodded and said: "If you can send it in, then give him my brand name, and allow him to mobilize the Huaihe Navy at the opportunity."

Having said that, the emperor narrowed his eyes, and there was a little murderous look in his eyes.

If the Huaihe navy is disobedient at this time, the imperial court can just take advantage of this opportunity to pull out the Zhao Clan in one fell swoop.

Anyway, the Southern Conscript Army in the north was held back by Shen Yi, and had no time to look south. Even if some troubles occurred in the Huaihe Navy, the Imperial Army would have enough time to suppress them.

After saying these words, the emperor sat back in his seat and closed his eyes.

"Also, call Zhao Changping into the palace."

"I want to settle accounts with him..."
