Chapter 557
Eight hundred li was sent to Shendu urgently. Song Zhan, the Jiedu envoy of Duji Province, rebelled. The king of Henan and his son were held hostage.

As soon as this news came out, God was shocked.

The empress was furious, and all members of the Song clan in Shendu were thrown into prison.

In recent months, the courtiers who had impeached Zuoqiu Yue because of the incident in Duji Province were all in danger, fearing that they would be labeled as partisans.

Conspiracy, what His Majesty hates the most today is rebels.

"What do you think about this matter?" In the middle of the night, Li Jingjie, Minister of Rites, came to the home of Prime Minister Gu Qingshan, and the two sat in the study and had a secret conversation.

Gu Qingshan stroked his beard, and said: "You and I are both in the capital of God, the situation in this imperial city is covered by clouds and fog, let alone the people and things outside."

After hearing this, Li Jingjie was silent for a moment, and said: "When the truth is false, the false is also true. The Princess of Henan is an extraordinary person."

When the drawings of movable type printing were sent to Shendu not long ago, the final result could already be glimpsed.

The king is a boat, and the people are water. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

However, in just two years, the Henan Prince's Mansion guarded Henan Road as solid as gold.And with the popularization of movable type printing in the Dali Dynasty, it can be praised and spread by scholars all over the world.

Troubled times depend on generals, and peace depends on civil servants.After winning the hearts of the group of people who hold the pen, why worry about the people's hearts not being subdued?

"If this battle is won, Duji Province will immediately become the same as Henan Province, and truly become the territory under the jurisdiction of the King of Henan." Gu Qingshan said, "Besides, the Princess of Henan will once again become famous as a female general. Dynasty."

It has to be said that the combination of Henan King and Princess is a perfect match.The Henan Palace occupies such a position in the current court situation, and this princess is absolutely indispensable.

Thinking about it carefully, from the founding monarch to the first emperor, the four generations of Zuoqiu emperors, their spouses were all women who did not give in to men.

Gaozu's Empress Xu fought with him in troubled times and jointly created the Dali Dynasty.Empress Jiang of Emperor Wenzong and Empress Jade of Emperor Jingzong both took care of government affairs with the emperor, and listened to the government behind the curtain when the emperor was ill.

And when it came to the first emperor, he directly entrusted the full power of the court government affairs to the Empress Changsun in his later years.After the death of the first emperor, Empress Changsun directly ascended the throne of God and became the emperor of Dali.

Could this be the common fate of Zuoqiu's emperors?
From the perspective of feng shui, the one who is most in line with this tradition is Henan Wang Zuoqiu Yue.

"In your opinion, who is His Majesty more inclined to now?" Li Jingjie asked bluntly.

It's ridiculous to say that when the emperors of the past dynasties chose their heirs, even if they had no children under their knees, all the choices came from the same surname.

But in today's Dali Dynasty, only the heirs who are likely to aspire to the throne have two surnames.If you are not careful, it is likely to become three surnames in the future.

If the country conquered by the Zuoqiu family is passed on to other surnames, is it still the Dali dynasty?

"I can't see it." Gu Qingshan shook his head and said, "Our Majesty, why did you let the servants guess her mind?"

Li Jingjie deeply believed in these words.

At the beginning, they thought that the first prince and King Yu, who were His Majesty's own children, would not be killed, but they died in the end.They thought that Zuo Qiuyue would die of old age in Ye Ting Palace, and Zuo Qiuyao would be a wealthy and idle person all his life, but they have successively become princes with fiefs and real power.

Xiao's wife is both a second wife and a businessman, so she has no qualifications to be a prince and concubine at all. Today, the emperor secretly promised that the Henan king could marry her, making her a prince and concubine.His stepson Xiao Yan, who was of common people's blood, was also decreed to be the heir son of the Prince of Henan.

King Huan's eldest grandson Qi is the younger brother of the Empress. When he was appointed as King Huan, the courtiers all thought that the power in his hands would become more and more powerful, but the facts were contrary to their guesses.

Piece by piece, they never got it right.

"What about you?" Li Jingjie asked again, "Who do you like more?"

"Brother Jingjie shouldn't ask me this question, because you already have the answer in your heart."

……

Li Jingjie left Gu Qingshan's study late at night, and Gu Qingshan personally escorted him outside the gate of the mansion.

When I met Gu Yunzhang when I returned to the inner courtyard, he was a little surprised: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Gu Yunzhang has been preparing for the imperial examination, and often reads at night by candlelight.

Gu Qingshan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is it so late to study?"

"No, there are some things I want to ask my grandfather." Gu Yunzhang said.

Seeing that she didn't even follow her personal maid, she stopped after she finished speaking, Gu Qingshan understood, and said: "Come to my study."

Gu Qingshan's study room is not allowed to enter, even Mrs. Gu and Gu Yunzhang's father and uncles have to get permission before entering.Gu Yunzhang was not qualified to come here before, and it was only this year that she got the same treatment as her father and uncles.

"What do you want to ask me?" Gu Qingshan asked after arriving in the room.

"Grandfather, the rebellion of the governor of Duji Province... Are the King of Henan and his son really hostages?" Gu Yunzhang immediately explained after asking, "I want to know more about political affairs, and I will test them when I study policy."

"Grandpa, just tell me."

Although Gu Yunzhang loves this granddaughter the most, when she said a few years ago that she wanted to take the imperial examination to become a female officer, he firmly opposed it.It was the changes in the government in recent years that made him change his decision.

After the New Year's Eve banquet this year, he began to personally teach Gu Yunzhang about politics.

Gu Yunzhang's reasoning was very lame. No matter how bold the topic of policy theory was, he would never test questions related to treason.Gu Qingshan has eaten more salt than teenage Gu Yunzhang, so he can see through her real purpose at a glance.

Where it is because of policy theory, but because of people.

Although this matter was not planned, Gu Qingshan had to say that it was a pity.If the prince of Henan had not made a marriage contract, his granddaughter would be able to afford the status of concubine.

"In your opinion, why did Song Zhan rebel at this time?"

……

Duji Road.

The [-] troops of the Henan Defense Army passed through Zhenzhou, and were naturally blocked by Yao Wenyuan.So the fake drill turned into a real war, and everyone's worries became true. Before facing the real enemy, they first fought with their own people.

Fortunately, they don't need to siege cities and land, they just need to open up the road that blocks their progress, and they don't have to face unarmed people.

Moreover, in a small town, the combined strength of all the troops is less than [-].They have an army of [-]. When they have an absolute advantage, the casualty rate on the battlefield can also be controlled by them.

The five-on-one war ended extremely quickly, and it took them only three days to pass through Zhenzhou and reach the city of Ruzhou.The [-] captives were temporarily placed in their own barracks, while Yao Wenyuan and other generals were brought to the front of the battle.

"My lord, they are yelling outside the city gate, saying..." The aide didn't dare to continue speaking halfway through.

"say what?"

"Say... let you release the King of Henan and his son immediately, Kai Cheng surrenders. Otherwise... Otherwise, Yao Cishi and others will be killed in front of the battle and sacrifice the flag."

"Women are rampant!"

The long case made of solid wood was overthrown, and the writing and ink on the case were scattered all over the place.

Song Zhan was furious because he was cornered.He never thought that he would be forced into such a situation by a woman.
