high official

Chapter 1023
"Send someone to stop Wang Xian immediately and let him return to Shandong." Seeing Zheng He standing there in a daze, Zhu Di repeated.

"Yes." Zheng He nodded blankly, not sure if the emperor wanted to compromise with Wang Xian.

Zhu Di then continued: "Let him succeed Chu Yan as the imperial envoy, and let him go to Boxing to announce the decree..." After Zheng He wrote it down, the emperor said: "In addition, from now on, Jinyiwei will be under the Dongchang , Call Zhao Ying back immediately and let him reorganize the Jinyiwei!"

"Yes..." Zheng He still nodded, but there was a bone-chilling chill in his heart.It turned out that the emperor didn't want to compromise, but realized that he might not be prepared right now, so he had to buy time to make arrangements, so as not to give Wang Xian any chance at all.

"Go..." Zhu Di waved his hand and hissed: "Call the cabinet ministers who are on duty..." Obviously, the emperor still has a lot of things to do.

"Yes." Zheng He stepped back after saluting, came out and said to Yang Shiqi who was guarding outside the palace: "The emperor invites the bachelor to go in." After speaking, without looking at Yang Shiqi who hurried into the palace, he walked out of the palace with heavy steps.

Outside the hall, the moon was as cold as frost, and the stars were slanting towards the west. Zheng He took a breath of the cold air, and felt that his internal organs were like being cut by a knife.He knew that the emperor had made up his mind to get rid of Wang Xian...

.

Wang Xian and a group of guardians traveled all night at the Chenguan post outside Tianjin City, and arrived at this post three hundred miles away from the capital, preparing to rest for a while and continue on the road.

Entering the post station, the post Cheng saw that it was Jin Yiwei, and hurriedly greeted him courteously, but the guards did not intervene, they fed the horses and cooked in an orderly manner, and Dai Hua poured hot water to wash Wang Xian's face.

After Wang Xian took a simple wash, he lay on the bed with his clothes on and wanted to sleep, but his mind was full of thoughts and thoughts. He was obviously exhausted, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.After lying on the bed with eyes wide open for an unknown amount of time, he finally dozed off in a daze.Unexpectedly, just as she fell asleep, there was a knock on the door outside.

"What's the matter?" Wang Xian sat up, his voice full of anger.

"My lord, the envoy from Beijing, please come out quickly to receive the order!" Dai Hua's voice sounded.

"Understood." Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, then put on his shoes and got off the ground, pushed the door to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a few eunuchs who were busy with travel and dust stood there, their faces were ten times more exhausted than Wang Xian's group.Seeing Wang Xian, the leading eunuch hoarsely said: "Uncle Zhongyong accepts the order."

Wang Xian hurriedly knelt down to accept the decree, and the eunuch appointed him by the emperor to replace Chu Yan as an imperial envoy to appease him, and immediately returned to Shandong to announce the decree to recruit peace.

After Wang Xian received the order, he stood up, and the eunuch in charge stuffed the yellow silk into his hand, and then he passed out stiffly.

The people next to him rushed to support the eunuch and carried him to the wing room for treatment.Wang Xian frowned and watched the eunuchs enter the wing room, then turned and returned to his room, meditating on Zhu Di's will.

After a while, Dai Hua came in, saw that Wang Xian was still staring at the yellow silk in a daze, and after waiting for a while, there was no response, so he couldn't help whispering: "Master, that eunuch is tired and dizzy. He didn't stop, and ran for three hundred miles in one breath..."

"Hehe..." Wang Xian now had an expression, and said sarcastically, "The emperor is afraid that it will be too late to prevent me from returning to Beijing."

"He's the one who recruited the lord to return to the capital, and he's the one who didn't let the lord return to the capital." Dai Hua muttered, "Is the old emperor still doing something serious?"

"I was asked to go back to Beijing before, because I was sure I would not dare to go back to Beijing." Wang Xian said lightly: "Once I surprise him, he will be afraid to leave."

"Isn't that good?" Dai Hua said with a smile: "Let's go back to Shandong and just keep away from the imperial court."

"It's not that simple..." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "The emperor didn't let me go back to Shandong, but just wanted me to go to Beijing later." He brushed off the yellow silk and said, "It's very clear from above. , I, the imperial envoy to recruit security, went to Shandong to declare a decree, not to recruit security. To put it bluntly, it was just for me to preach the decree," he said with a sneer: "Look at it, there must be something in that decree that allows me to go to Beijing Order……"

"Then... what should we do?" Dai Hua asked, frowning.

"What else can I do, go back to Shandong!" Wang Xian threw the yellow silk on the ground and said in a deep voice.

In fact, Boxing City no longer has the shadow of the White Lotus Sect...

Back then, the King of Han and the White Lotus Sect faced each other, and they didn't set up defenses in Boxing City. Because of the low walls of the city, it was easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it was unwise to set up defenses here.In the past, the White Lotus Sect had high ambitions and pointed their swords at Le'an Prefecture. They only used this place as a transit point for advancing troops. Later, they were defeated in Qingzhou and panicked, so they temporarily stationed in Le'an.

Although the army has been temporarily suspended, Boxing is less than a hundred miles away from Qingzhou City where Liu Sheng's army is stationed.It's just that Qingzhou's strategic throat has been lost. For the defeated army of less than [-], there are really not many choices...

Going east, west, and south is all death. There are only two ways to go north to Le'an and Lijin. Lijin is close to the sea, and Zheng He's fleet is cruising on the sea. Going to Lijin seems to be a trap.After all, the only way out is to go to Le'an Prefecture and join Liu Jun's troops...

Liu Jun had indeed sent someone over long ago to invite the Buddha Mother and Dharma King to Le'an Prefecture, but within the Qingzhou Army, they were very hesitant about going to Le'an.Because the Qingzhou army is less than [-], and its morale is low, it is torn apart. When they arrive in Le'an, they are in danger of being annexed by Liu Jun, who has more troops and food... Especially Tang Feng, he is very resistant to going north to Le'an, and has been urging Tang Tiande not to go north. .

Therefore, it dragged on for half a month until food and grass were exhausted, mutiny broke out everywhere, and they could no longer stay in Boxing, so all the generals had to persuade Elder Tang to go to Le'an together.Elder Tang also knew that there was no way to return to heaven, so he finally agreed to set off. With [-] troops and more than [-] believers, he trekked hard to Le'an in the cold winter months covered by thousands of miles...

When these hungry and cold troops arrived in Le'an, they were no different from beggars... Liu Jun deliberately organized an army of [-], fully armed, and lined up outside the city to welcome the Buddha Mother and Dharma King, looking very enthusiastic , but has completely overwhelmed the Qingzhou Army in terms of momentum...

"Hahaha, welcome!" Liu Jun, dressed in expensive armor and covered with a sable fur cloak, was surrounded by A Chou, Er Hei, Xu Huaiqing, Long Wuye and other generals, laughing as he came to Elder Tang's carriage.Elder Tang originally wanted to show up at the foot of Le'an City on horseback, but the journey was bumpy and hard, and his injuries were repeated. He couldn't get up at all, so he could only lie sick on the carriage, watching Liu Jun show off his might.

Seeing Elder Tang and the others in a state of desperation, Liu Jun felt very relieved. Thinking of how Elder Tang sent fifty thousand troops outside Qingzhou City to punish him a few months ago, he felt that he finally let out a breath of anger today!
Seeing Tang Tiande sitting up with support, Liu Jun deliberately ignored him, got off his horse first, and gave a big gift to the Buddha mother, respectfully saying: "Welcome to the Buddha mother!"

Tang Sai'er was riding on the horse, still wearing white clothes and white skirt, with a white gauze covering her face, so clean and light, as if otherworldly, she only nodded slightly to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun didn't take it seriously, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his knees, as if he had just seen Tang Tiande, and started bluffing in a fuss: "Oh, isn't this Elder Tang? Why are you so sick?"

Hearing that Liu Jun was not called 'Falun King' but called 'Elder', Tang Tiande just frowned slightly. Even though he was upset, the situation was stronger than others, so he could only endure it.But Tang Feng on the side couldn't bear it, and snorted angrily: "Bold, don't kneel down to welcome the King of Dharma!"

Hearing Tang Feng's voice, Ah Chou and others glared at him, thinking that it's already this time, and this kid still can't figure out the situation.

"Hehe..." Liu Jun glanced at Tang Feng contemptuously, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm being rude," he said, looking at Tang Tiande, "His Majesty, please accept my obeisance." Having said that, the movement is terribly slow, as if arthritis is attacking...

"I can't..." Tang Tiande hastily stopped him.He knew that if he really received Liu Jun's gift, he might be tossed into what he would turn out to be.In fact, he had figured it out a long time ago on the way here, how could he not bow his head under the eaves?I can only stay away for the time being, and wait for the injury to heal before making other plans.

"Thank you, His Majesty." Liu Jun stood still immediately, and he just put on a show, so he didn't believe that Tang Tiande dared to accept his obeisance.

Tang Feng stood aside with a livid face, watching Liu Jun get on his horse triumphantly, and led his parents and Tang Tiande through layers of military formations to the city.

Tang Feng was stunned for a while before remembering to keep up, but he was suddenly grabbed by A Chou's probe.

"What are you going to do?" Tang Feng turned his head and glared at Ah Chou.

"Slap you!" A Chou said as he waved his arms, and slapped Tang Feng on the face. Tang Feng was just a playboy, how could he withstand A Chou's strength?With a slap, he was slapped on the ground, and several teeth flew out with blood foam.

The generals of the Qingzhou Army on the side pretended not to see them, regardless of whether Tang Feng walked forward with his head sullen.

"Keep your mouth clean, it won't be so cheap next time!" Ah Chou spat thick phlegm on Tang Feng's face, scolded "what?" and then walked away.

Tang Feng covered his swollen cheeks and looked at the back of A Chou who left arrogantly. Only then did he gradually realize the situation of his father and son. The dream of the young master that was once within reach has come to naught...

.

Back in the city, Liu Jun invited Buddha's mother to live in the original Han Palace, and Tang Tiande was naturally carried into the Palace on a stretcher.But Liu Jun never mentioned how to settle Tang Tiande and his son, it was obvious that the father and son were able to live in the palace because of the Buddhist mother.

Tang Tiande was also sensible, and he proposed on the same day that he was old and sick, and was dying, and wanted to hand over the title of Dharma king to Liu Jun.But Liu Jun didn't appreciate it. In front of the leaders of the White Lotus Sect, big and small, he openly declared that the so-called Dharma King did not conform to the teachings of the White Lotus Sect and should be abolished. He still regarded himself as a Dharma protector.
