I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 561 Soldiers and horses inside and outside Jiangling City

Nuo Dajiangling City was covered with a strange atmosphere for some reason. The people in the city didn't understand what was going on.

But he knew it was related to the Ouyang family and several other families in the city. After all, starting from the morning, people from these families could be seen entering and leaving the prefect's office in the city one after another.

Moreover, all the yamen servants in the yamen were replaced by people from several big families. There were also people from several big families patrolling the city.

The people in Jiangling City didn't dare to say anything, they didn't even dare to gossip or talk about it in private. They only dared to ponder what was going on in their hearts.

The Ouyang Family Mansion is located in the lobby on the first floor of Ouyang Huaishi Library.

There are many plaques in this pavilion. The plaques written by many people in the world of literary circles are all here, and they are all presented to Ouyang Huaishi, Ouyang Wenyou and others.

But just in the lobby on the first floor, there is a plaque hanging in the front, with the four words "Rigengyueyuedu" written in it, which is very impressive, and the signature is written with the three words Su Wenqing.

When Master Ouyang Huai was in the court, his main political opponents were two, namely the current Grand Master Yang Shanchang and the current Grand Master Su Wenqing.

Ouyang Huaishi hung the plaque given by his political opponents in the most conspicuous place in his library, and many people praised him for his broad-mindedness. On the contrary, Su Wenqing was scolded for his villainous behavior because he actually turned back the book given by Ouyang Huaishi. It was given to Yang Shanchang. It was not good to give it to anyone. It was Yang Shanchang who was pure and disgusting. Therefore, Su Wenqing's reputation was not spread among the Ouyang family. However, Ouyang Huaishi himself never said a word about Su Wenqing. It's not good, but he never stops others from scolding Su Wenqing.

Another old man spoke slowly: "The sentences are good, and the preface is really good. To be able to write such a preface at such an age is beyond our reach in terms of literary grace. But at such a young age, I have experienced so many things. My emotion teaches me that I haven’t read too many books, I haven’t eaten too many meals, and some things just look good when I say them.”

On the other hand, the middle-aged people standing behind them frowned and looked outside from time to time, looking a little anxious.

Master Ouyang Huai smiled and looked at the people below: "Do you have your own opinions?"

Ouyang Wenyou looked at his father, bowed and said: "My child has little education and only has a rudimentary understanding. I think the Queen's words should mean that the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to give up one's ambition to reach the clouds." mean."

A chubby old man said with a smile: "You are still a child after all. And the truth that you don't know the difficulties before you have experienced them can only be fully realized when you get older. Especially in the officialdom, it is easy to cultivate oneself, but it is difficult to cultivate an official body. Who knows when you are young, you are busy with your ambitions, but when you get older and you have no ambitions, it will be difficult to survive all the way. "

Master Ouyang Huai held the poem "Preface to Yunmu Pavilion" in his hand. At this moment, Master Ouyang Huai saw this sentence and spoke: "Wen You, when you are old, you will be strong. You would rather move your heart with a gray head. Being poor will make you stronger, and you will not fall into the blue clouds." Chi. What’s the explanation?”

But the old people sitting now closed their eyes and rested their minds, as steady as a mountain.

And if you think about it carefully, isn't what they are doing now just to complete the thoughts that occasionally pop up sometimes?
A high-ranking official is not necessarily a powerful official.

Master Ouyang Huai listened to the words of the people below and shook his head with a smile: "Taking poetry, you are talking about this again."

An old man picked up the lidded bowl and took a sip of tea and then said: "How many people can achieve the ambition of a young man in old age, and the journey is difficult, how many people can still have the ambition of a great swan." When young people read this sentence, they just felt emotional. It’s so terrible, but I don’t know that when a really old person reads this sentence, his ambition is nothing more than a joke.”

Everyone in the library is not unfamiliar with this sentence. After all, it was the preface written by the Queen. They have read it too many times. It is truly a preface that no one can match.

In the past, this place was actually just a table and a chair, because only Ouyang Huaishi read here.

Hearing Master Ouyang Huai's words, the elders in power in each family below opened their eyes one after another.

And just behind the old people, there were some middle-aged men and women standing.

Just after the old man finished speaking, another old man immediately spoke: "Don't you want to add another sentence, especially for an official?"

After hearing this, the old people below bowed to Master Ouyang Huai one after another.

Master Ouyang Huai was sitting on the main seat, with only Ouyang Wenyou standing behind him. The other Ouyang family members were not qualified to be here.

But today, the few chairs were filled with decrepit old people.

The old foxes present all see through it but don't tell it. At this juncture, you suddenly come up with a sentence that says, "You will never forget Ling Yunzhi even when you are old." What does it mean? The old foxes can clearly see what it means.

Master Ouyang Huai put the preface in his hand on the table: "However, it was just something I suddenly felt."

In the lobby on the first floor of the library, there are a few tables, a few chairs, and as far as the eye can see, they are filled with books.

Controlling and taming dragons is the pinnacle of being a minister.

And when that time comes, who is the king and who is the minister is another matter.

An old man spoke softly: "Speaking of which, it has been four hours since I sent the news that I met that group of people."

Hearing this, the already anxious middle-aged family heads became solemn in expression.

Ouyang Wenyou saluted the old man of the Gan family and said, "Yes, it's already the end of Shen Shi, almost four hours."

The old lady of the Gan family did not continue to say more, but asked: "How is Zhao Yulang?"

A family head immediately spoke: "I am being locked up with the people from the magistrate's office, but in order to prevent him from escaping and getting in the way, I broke one of his legs. I originally wanted to pull out his tongue, but I didn't do it and just blocked his mouth."

The old lady of the Gan family continued to talk nonsense: "Mu Xu has been visiting everywhere since he came to the south, giving lectures and meeting students, just to stop Youyou's mouth."

But after saying this, the old lady of the Gan family sighed again: "I don't know, what happened there?"

In the lobby, it suddenly became quiet.

Everyone did not dare to accept these words, because they all knew that they were talking about Yao Xisheng's interception of the Emperor and his party. I dare not speak because this matter is too big.

It's big enough for all these old men to gather together.

It's so big that these old men all look old and steady, but they have been sitting here for several hours.

The purpose is to wait for first-hand news.

After all, it is about the survival of major families, not the petty quarrels in the past.

Master Ouyang Huai broke the silence: "Don't remonstrate with those who have passed. Just wait for the results. Don't think about these things, it will only increase your worries."

The old people nodded one by one and said nothing more.

There is no point in talking, just wait, so they come here to wait for the result together.

On the other hand, the heads of the houses, seeing the old men saying nothing more, all looked more and more irritable.

"We should, we can win. After all, we have paid so much." A family head couldn't help but speak.

It's not about how it is, but these old people are reassurances. He wants to hear the three words "can win" from these reassurances, otherwise his heartbeat will be too fast and it will be a bit unbearable.

An old man said: "That Shi Lian Zuo Cunxu from the Zuo family said that he went to Yandi alone. After the Qi family sent so much money, that Qi Qi also went to Yandi to take up a post. What kind of trouble could he do in Guangling City? Daolang's Qi Pei was also asked to enter the capital."

This answer was not what was asked, which made the middle-aged man a little confused about what to say. He just looked at his father, with beads of sweat on his face, and his inner uneasiness became more and more obvious.

Seeing him like this, Ouyang Wen smiled sadly and handed over the handkerchief.

After the man thanked me, he was not polite. After taking the handkerchief, he began to wipe his sweat.

A middle-aged man looked at the man's lackluster look and said, "The Emperor likes to be overwhelmed by power, but this time, the power is ours, not hers."

Soldiers and horses limit the strength of the strong.
All on our side.

Wherever the emperor's reinforcements could come, they had made many calculations. Except for the soldiers and horses of Luzhou, they could not arrive anywhere else in a short time.

Moreover, the elite cavalry they kept in captivity were invincible only if they were elite.

The soldiers and horses in Luzhou are really not enough to see, unless they are the killing troops of the southern border army.

But the southern border is less than a month away from Jiangling. Calculating the time, unless the emperor plans to directly use the southern border troops to kill them all when he comes to the south, otherwise there will be no time to dispatch the southern border troops.

But let’s not talk about whether the emperor had such a ruthless determination from the beginning. With so many soldiers and horses along the way, could they escape their eyes and ears?

Even if he could escape their eyes and ears, how could he escape the eyes and ears of the King of Shu?
According to their own investigation and what Yao Xisheng said, there was no sign of other soldiers.

In the past few months, Li Xuance and dozens of followers were the only ones who set out from the southern border to the capital. Although they stayed in Luzhou for a few days, according to the intelligence, they only visited Luzhou's soldiers and horses.

If we can really use the troops and horses from the southern border, it would be possible at that time, but the prerequisite is to hide the troops and horses in Luzhou.

But that time was in December last year. At that time, so many soldiers and horses were hidden in Luzhou without anyone knowing, and the price to pay was not a big deal.

At that time, the emperor had just seized power. How could he pay such a high price? And where did so much money come from? To dispatch soldiers and horses from the southern border to Luzhou, are you not afraid of those from Tianzhu and other countries in the south invading the southern border?
Everyone in the hall is best at weighing the pros and cons and calculating the gains and losses.

So before doing this, various possibilities have been analyzed.

Some people couldn't help it anymore and said, "I'm going to ask someone to remind me. Counting the time, the results should be out by now, and it's time to send the news back."

Seeing that no one spoke, especially the old people, he bowed immediately and turned to leave.

But just opened the door.
I saw a person running from a distance as if flying.

I saw this Ouyang family servant coming to the door. While looking at the family head in front of him, he also looked at Master Ouyang Huai and Ouyang Wenyou.
Ouyang Wenyou knew that this young servant did not know what they were doing, and he was not the one sent out to wait for news, so he asked, "What happened."

The boy swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, master, soldiers, a lot of soldiers came and surrounded our mansion. They didn't do anything, they just surrounded our mansion and didn't let anyone in or out."

Hearing this, everyone in the lobby was startled. It was a sensitive time, so how could these words not make them nervous?

Ouyang Wenyou walked up to the young man in three steps and said, "What kind of soldier? Can you see where they come from?"

The boy shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that the word 'fire' on their big flag means 'summer' on the opposite side."

As soon as these words came out, before the boy could say anything, a family head immediately blurted out: "Looking for fire soldiers in the south!?"

After that, he turned around and took the brunt of the attack and rushed outside.
