Chang'an is good

Chapter 160 Sending troops to crusade
"That Chen Changshi was imprisoned and executed." Chang Kuo said.

Chang Suining's complexion changed slightly: "Someone is trying to set up a trap, falsely preaching the oracle?"

The position of the chief historian of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is here, and his power is equivalent to that of the governor of Shangzhou. The yamen and prisons in Yangzhou have no power to execute Chen Changshi privately, so there is only the possibility of falsely preaching the imperial decree.

Chang Kuo was slightly taken aback, and looked at the girl in surprise: "Sui Ningquan guessed it right, that's exactly it."

Seeing that the girl was still waiting for him to speak, Chang Kuo put away other emotions for the time being, and said: "Then the British Lord Li Zhengye and others went to Yangzhou to sue the inspector censor Xue Ren for treason against Chen Changshi, the Governor's Mansion, saying that With iron evidence in hand, Chen Changshi was arrested and imprisoned.”

Chang Suian was shocked and said: "Then the inspector censor believed in Li Zhengye so credulously, and executed the dignified history of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?"

As rash and impulsive as he was, he felt that the imperial inspector was too rash and impulsive!

That is the long history of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. If you say you are imprisoned, you will be imprisoned, and if you say you will be executed, you will be executed?
Even if Li Zhengye and others forged the imperial decree, but Li Zhengye and others did not come from the capital, why would they carry the imperial decree with them?As an inspector censor, no matter what, you should check it out first before killing someone!

Chang Sui Ning said: "Because the forged imperial decree was not for that inspector censor to read, on the contrary, it was to cooperate with that Xue censor, and it was just for the purpose of getting rid of Chen Changshi."

Chang Sui'an was startled: "Sister means... that inspector censor is also Li Zhengye's accomplice?!"

Chang Kuo nodded solemnly: "That's right, this Xue Ren has already secretly hooked up with Li Zhengye."

"This censor, Xue Ren, went to Jiangdu three months ago, and he recommended himself." Chang Suining said, "It seems that Li Zhengye and others have been quietly planning this matter a long time ago."

The raising of troops this time sounds sudden, but the planning and preparations behind it were by no means a one-day effort.

"How does Suining know... Xue Ren's mission to Jiangdu three months ago was for self-recommendation?" Chang Kuo couldn't help asking.

Since talking about this matter, it can be seen that this child has a very detailed knowledge of various government affairs, and his brain reacts very quickly.

"I heard it all from the shooting club, and the students in the club will talk about it when they chat."

Chang Suining answered without hesitation, which is also true. She made friends with those supervisors, and she had the idea of ​​collecting and inquiring information from various places. This was one of the reasons why she became a teacher of Qiao Yang and entered the Imperial College.

After Chang Kuo nodded in understanding, he thought twice again. It turns out that there are other uses for playing polo in association...

He looked at the girl and said: "They say what they say, Suining can pay attention to it and write it down, and can use it in current events... It's also a skill."

After complimenting my daughter, Chang Kuo continued.

After Chen Changshi was executed, Li Zhengye and the imperial envoy Xue Renli cooperated with the outside world and falsely preached the imperial decree again. Li Zhengye took over the post of Shi of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Yangzhou, thus taking over the military and political power of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Before the news spread to the capital, officials from all over Yangzhou were ordered to gather troops to launch a crusade under the pretext of "the governor of Gaozhou conspired to rebel, and the sage secretly ordered to send troops to crusade".

"...There were also officials who noticed something was wrong, and those who raised doubts were all ordered to be killed on the spot by Li Zhengyezhi on the charge of 'Gaozhou anti-thief party'." Chang Kuo said: "Even the Yangzhou recorder who joined the army was also punished. If executed, the other officials would not dare to disobey."

Chang Suian: "Then they are really going to attack the governor of Gaozhou?"

Chang Kuo sneered and said, "The governor of Gaozhou sits at home. Why did he intend to rebel? This is just a cover fabricated by Li Zhengye's party. Using this as a pretext, they were able to gather troops, control various places, and wait for the treasury to be opened. Then I changed my words again—"

"Then Li Zhengye claims that the current sage, the Ming family, has monopolized power for many years and has no intention of returning the government to the prince. In order to restore the Li family, the prince sent troops to fight for the removal of the Ming family, in order to correct the country!"

As soon as this remark came out, it quickly spread around.

Li Zhengye has proclaimed himself the governor of Yangzhou, and set up the Yinggong Mansion in Yangzhou, with Xue Ren as the long history, and the Luo Yushi Luo Guanlin who was relegated two months ago because he denounced the dictatorship of the Ming Dynasty in the early court, and Luo Guanlin. Li Zhengye gathered in one place, and now he has become a military advisor under Li Zhengye's command.

"Now they control all parts of Yangzhou, open treasury to mint money, recruit soldiers, raise food and grass, and spread inflammatory articles everywhere..." Chang Kuo's tone was a little heavy: "It is said that there are many responders outside Yangzhou."

Chang Suining's mood sank following Chang Kuo's words.

Among those who responded to Li Zhengye, in addition to officials who were dissatisfied with the Empress Ming Dynasty's rise to power, there must also be some people with ulterior motives.

Because of the departure from the orthodoxy when he came to power in the Ming Dynasty, anyone can use this to make a fuss and follow up with righteous words. Now that the British prince Li Zhengye is taking the lead in setting off this matter, there are many followers.

But even if those followers are not mentioned, even Li Zhengye himself who raised the army, is his purpose really for the so-called recovery of the Li family?

It is not appropriate to be too optimistic about the word human nature at such a juncture.

At this time, Chang Suining thought of Xue Ren, the inspector and censor: "This Xue Ren is really talented. He recommended himself to go to Jiangdu for inspection early on. At most, the others were thieves shouting to catch thieves. He was shouting to catch thieves, but he was actually running. To be a thief..."

Chang Kuo: "That's right!"

"Li Zhengye has conquered the Duke of England for many years and was born here. It is impossible for Xue Renluo to be the only person who has been friends with them over the years... Since he is planning such a big event, he will definitely try his best to win over available people." Chang Sui Ning While thinking about it, he raised his eyes and asked Chang Kuo: "Father, I heard that Xue Ren seems to be related to the eldest grandson's family by marriage?"

Chang Kuo paused for a moment, there is really all kinds of news in this Juju club.

He nodded: "Yes, that Xue Ren is the cousin and nephew of the first wife in Sun Yuan's family, the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo."

Chang Suining: "Since there is such a relationship, does the sage suspect that the grandson's family is related to Li Zhengye's rebellion?"

The eldest grandson's family opposed the dictatorship of the Empress Ming Dynasty and wanted to support the prince's early ascension to the throne, which had always been engraved on his forehead.

But now the cousin and nephew of the wife of Changsun Yuan's family has become Li Zhengye's henchman and rebelled in Yangzhou.

"The sage did not show any doubts about the eldest grandson's family today." Chang Kuo said, "During today's discussion, Mr. Changsun was also present, and the sage specially ordered him and the officials of the Zhongshu Province to discuss the strategy of attacking Li Zhengye as soon as possible."

Chang Sui Ning Xin thought about it.

Commanding Chang Sun Yuan to agree on the strategy of the crusade may not be an act of probing by the Empress Ming. On the premise that there is no evidence to prove that Chang Sun Yuan is involved in this matter, it is used to test Chang Sun Yuan's attitude towards this matter.

"How long will it take to decide on a countermeasure?" Chang Suining asked.

"Those officials said everything today, and they were so noisy that they almost toppled the roof of Ganlu Hall..." Chang Kuo felt a headache when he thought of that scene: "But the sage said, we must formulate a countermeasure in three days. The method of fighting is certain, and now the battalions have been called to prepare troops, and the oracle has also been sent to various places, ordering the Huainan Road and the Jiangnan East and West Roads to prepare troops to defend against the enemy."

Chang Suining nodded.

The military affairs are spreading like fire, and there should be no delay for a moment, but these three days are not a delay. A war is not something that can be started immediately by just talking about it.

Of course Qingqi can go first, but there are too many preparations for the army to set off, food, grass, weapons, equipment and supplies. Even if these preparations are made urgently, they cannot be prepared in a day.

Ordering the battalions to prepare for the dispatch of troops first, and at the same time agreeing on more feasible countermeasures, this is the correct way to deal with it.

She asked again: "Then dad, do you know who the sage intends to order to lead his troops on this trip?"

Chang Kuo shook his head: "It hasn't been decided yet, but today I recommended myself in the hall."

"Father..." Chang Sui reassuredly said, "How can Daddy go to the battlefield again!"

Father has a leg injury and is no longer suitable for battle. The last time he followed Chief Cui to fight against the Southern Barbarians was an exception. Although Chief Cui took care of him, he has aged visibly in the past two years...More What's more, it's only been half a year since I came back, and I haven't recuperated yet!
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't I go to the battlefield again!" Chang Kuo glared at his son: "I still have legs to ride a horse!"

Chang Sui'an didn't dare to say any more.

Chang Sui Ning also had a look of worry in his eyes, after all, Chang Sui's body is not as good as before.

Facing the girl's hesitant eyes, Chang Kuo's voice softened: "This time the situation is special... If this internal disaster cannot be quelled in time, I'm afraid there will be foreign troubles soon. And that Li Zhengye is an extraordinary person, I'm afraid It’s not easy to deal with it, but I have dealt with him a little bit, so I will have a better chance of winning.”

He is not concerned about today's saints, but for the stability of Dasheng.

This is the ambition of His Royal Highness the former crown prince, and it is also his. He once served in Xuan Ce's army, so he should stick to this ambition for the rest of his life.

Besides, he is still a general, and it is normal for a general to go to the battlefield in case of war, so what is there to say!
After hearing what Chang Kuo said, Chang Suining did not speak out to dissuade him.

She couldn't dissuade a general from going to war, and if she was old enough, she would make the same decision at this time.

In the face of danger, everyone has a family, and no one wants their family to be the one taking risks, but everyone is like this, even if you don't talk about the country, where is the family?

Chang Suian is different, he has not yet become a soldier general, even if he has the heart to serve Dasheng, but he has never experienced it, so he cannot truly empathize with Chang Kuo.

At this time, he was more selfish, he was worried about his father's health, he was afraid that something would happen to his father, Dasheng was not only his father, but a general who could lead troops to conquer Li Zhengye, but he only had this father.

But he didn't dare to talk to Chang Kuo, so he chose to burn incense secretly, begging the Bodhisattva to bless the saint and never choose his father!
The young man knelt in his small Buddhist hall, not forgetting to explain the reason: "Bodhisattva, you don't know something... My father is old and confused, he has a big temper and doesn't listen to persuasion, he has bad legs and feet, and it is difficult to move. He eats too much and consumes military rations." , it is really not suitable to lead the army..."

"I have already passed the primary election of the Xuan Ce Army, and I will be able to enter the Xuan Ce Army's vanguard battalion only after another exam... If Father is destined to fight as many battles and kill as many lives as he wants, then Just owe it first, and I will call back for him in the future, and kill him for him!"

After speaking, he kowtowed devoutly: "May the Bodhisattva be perfect!"

"..." The sword boy standing beside him silently looked at the Bodhisattva statue.

That is to say...it is really difficult for Bodhisattvas to fulfill this request.

This is full of murderous words, and the Bodhisattva will reflect on why he is sitting here after hearing it.

Mr. Lang is very filial, but his merits will probably be deducted directly.

The "Reward of the World" with all the merits and virtues deducted soon came to Chang Suian.

On the second day, Kuo discovered his son's sneaky behavior in the small Buddhist hall, dragged him out, threw him into the ancestral hall, and made him kneel for a whole day.

After the rain, the sky cleared, but as the news of Li Zhengye's rebellion spread, the inside and outside of the court seemed to be shrouded in silent clouds.

That night, Changsun Yuan turned back from the palace and returned to the mansion. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, his wife Kuang Shi came up to welcome him: "Master, I heard that Xue Ren followed Li Zhengye to join the army... Did the sage attack the Lord?" ?”

Xue Ren is the son of one of her cousins. Although the relationship between the two families is not close, the relationship lies here...

Changsun Yuan rested in the Zhongshu Province last night, and at this time his expression was exhausted, and he raised his hand to signal his wife not to say too much: "Changing clothes for me first."

Kuang had no choice but to change his official robe for him.

Not long after, Changsun Xuan found her and said, "I heard that my father is back."

She entered the hall to salute, with a disturbed expression on her face: "Father, my daughter heard that the Xue family..."

"I have my own opinion on this matter, you don't need to ask more questions for now." Changsun Yuan interrupted his daughter and confessed: "In these days, you still need to pay special attention to your words and deeds. Wait for Chongyang to worship your ancestors, and I will make people nominate another crown prince. The matter of the concubine should be settled by then."

No matter how the outside world changes, the prince will not change. Even if it changes, it will only change from the crown prince to the king.

Changsun Xuan answered "yes".

Changsun Yuan sent someone to call the eldest son over, and the father and son went to the study to talk.

Changsun Xuan and her mother Kuang entered the inner room.

The maids and servants were all dismissed, Changsun Xuan lowered her voice and asked: "Mother, what about the Xue family...does father know about it?"

The word "informed" is an implicit statement, and she wanted to know whether her father was secretly involved in the Yangzhou uprising.

Kuang shook his head and said solemnly: "I don't know either, but since your father refuses to tell, you and I will stop asking..."

She patted her daughter's hand: "You only need to obey your father and brother's arrangement, and the girl from the Chang family can no longer compete with you. In the past few days, the candidate for the crown princess has been mentioned in the court. Mostly it was a voice that turned against you, even though the saint has not let go of his compromise for a while, but since your father was confident in his words just now, then this matter is safe..."

"As for the rest, leave it to your father and brother. We can't decide, and we can't help." Kuang looked in the direction of the study through the window lattice, hiding the worry in his eyes.

……

Three days later, the strategy of conquering Li Zhengye's party was drawn up, and Emperor Shengji announced to the world that he sent 20 troops to crusade against the traitor Li Zhengye, and took away his surname and returned him to Xu.

And the person who will lead the army in this battle has also been decided at the court today.

Chang Suian had been waiting for news since before dawn, when it was approaching noon, he finally saw Jiantong come back from outside.

Chang Suian hurriedly asked: "...Has it been decided? Who will lead the expedition?"

Chang Suining also looked at Jiantong.

Before Jiantong opened his mouth, she had already got the answer from Jiantong's expression.
