Chapter 30

"What the hell kind of ancestral system is this!" For a moment, Lin Feng had the urge to curse, wasn't he going to play himself to death?I am the eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager's Hall of Kindness, and King Wu succeeded in rebelling, so can I still have my own good?It's really big now.

After discussing with the Queen Mother in the Hall of Kindness for a long time, Lin Feng left the Hall of Kindness and walked towards the Imperial Horse Supervisor.Although the queen mother said a feasible method, it is still difficult to implement it.If it is really necessary to suppress the rebellion, I am afraid that the only army that can be used is the two battalions of the Yumajian.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is the emperor's personal soldier. Although it is not as good as the Imperial Forest Army, its status is not much worse.And there is another very important point, that is, the Yumajian is neither under the management of the Military Affairs Academy nor under the Ministry of War, but belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which means that this army is an army that Li Henian cannot intervene.

"Is this God's will? I originally wanted Yao Xing to actively train the army of the Yumajian, hoping that when my identity was discovered, with the assistance of the Yumajian, I could leave safely, but now I I'm afraid we can only rely on this army to put down the rebellion." Lin Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, walked out of the palace quickly, and walked towards the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Seeing Lin Feng coming, Yao Xing was a little surprised, why did Lin Feng come to the Yumajian at such a late hour.Bringing Lin Feng to his tent, Yao Xing asked, "It's so late, my lord, is there anything you need to come to Yumajian?"

Looking at Yao Xing with a solemn expression, Lin Feng said, "You must keep what I say next, and you must not leak it out, you understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord, this servant won't tell even if he dies." Seeing how serious Lin Feng was, Yao Xing returned with a serious face. He knew that Lin Feng must have something to do, and it was a big deal.

"King Wu may launch a rebellion." Lin Feng said almost word by word.

After being stunned for three seconds, Yao Xing recovered from the shock and said, "This is impossible."

"It is very likely to be true. Although there is no definite evidence yet, it is very likely to be true, so the queen mother asked me to come to the Yumajian to inform you that the army of the Yumajian must be ready at all times to calm King Wu The task of rebellion falls on you." Lin Feng said to Yao Xing almost without reservation.I don't know if the two battalions of the Yumajian can be used, or will they be fancy or not?
After paying a military salute to Lin Feng, Yao Xing said: "My lord, please rest assured that the 1 officers and soldiers of the two battalions of the Imperial Horse Supervisor will never disappoint the Queen Mother and the Emperor." Although Yao Xing is a eunuch, he has a man in his heart With that kind of passion, he would not have entered the palace as a eunuch if the family hadn't been able to survive.

"Don't say anything about this matter, you just need to be prepared. Prepare everything that needs to be prepared in the past few days. As soon as the order comes, you have to start immediately." Lin Feng said to Yao Xing.Now we can only make preparations in advance. After all, although the queen mother said that she would write to her father to ask him to send troops back from the northwest to help put down the rebellion, the long distance cannot quench the thirst. The distance from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River is too far away. .At that time, the real main force in countering the rebellion will have to be the army of the Yumajian.

With a heavy heart, Lin Feng walked out of the imperial horse prison and walked towards his mansion.Looking at the very round moon above his head, Lin Feng smiled wryly in his heart, why did he bother to go through this muddy water, and just walked away.However, as a man's responsibility, it is to prevent Lin Feng from doing this. The queen mother and Qiuxiang are both his own women, and he wants to protect them.If the capital was really breached, then needless to say, the Queen Mother and the Emperor would definitely have no chance of surviving.This is absolutely not allowed by Lin Feng.

"Soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil, I'm afraid of being a hair." Lin Feng said to himself.Anyway, if I travel by myself, I will live a lot, and I still have two beautiful women in this Yan Dynasty, even if I die by then, it will be worth it.

But to be honest, I don't necessarily fail.How many troops can King Wu gather?Although I only have more than 1 people in this imperial horse prison, I still have a steady stream of reinforcements. After all, I represent the imperial court and righteousness.If there are still those officials who take loyalty to the emperor and patriotism very seriously, they may also lead troops to help counter the rebellion.Thinking about it this way, the situation in the imperial court is actually not that difficult.

Of course, there is one last possibility, that is, this matter was created out of nothing, and King Wu did not launch a rebellion, so this is the most suitable for Lin Feng.However, this possibility is extremely small.

In the next few days, there was no news of King Wu launching a rebellion.On the other hand, Li Henian and Liu Rufeng have been having a lot of fun fighting each other recently. Today you find out a little bit of my braid, and tomorrow I dig out a little bit of your crap. In short, the two sides are constantly fighting.It makes the daily court meeting very lively.However, no matter how lively it is, neither side has any evidence to prove it. Therefore, the two sides are still fighting with each other the most.Every morning is like a vegetable market.

For several days, there was no useful news from the branch church in Nanjiang Province.The only useful thing is that the military barracks in Nanjiang Province have strengthened their defenses, and outsiders can't approach the barracks within five miles.This has not happened before.

"Is there any news from Nanjiang Province?" Every day, the Queen Mother would ask this question many times.And Lin Feng answered no over and over again.The current situation is that Lin Feng and the others hope that King Wu will rebel quickly. The waiting now makes Lin Feng and the queen mother very uncomfortable.It was too painful.

"Is there anything special about Li Henian recently?" The queen mother continued to ask.After knowing the news that King Wu might rebel, the queen mother asked Lin Feng to step up surveillance on Li Henian, hoping to find some clues from Li Henian.Once it is confirmed that King Wu really has the idea of ​​rebellion, then the Queen Mother can take the initiative instead of being so passive as she is now.

Shaking his head, Lin Feng said: "No. People from the editing factory can't get into Li Henian's interior, so it's hard to get any core news, but on the surface, there is nothing abnormal."

Sighing, the queen mother said: "Now the Ai family is sitting on pins and needles. If Wu Wang's affairs are not investigated clearly, Ai's family will not be able to calm down for a day." In the past few days, the queen mother can't eat well. Didn't sleep well either.I have been thinking about this matter in my heart, and the most painful thing is that I have no way to tell others about this matter.I can only hold it in my heart.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. If King Wu does not rebel for a day, it is equivalent to buying us a day. As long as the army of General Zhen Guo arrives, even if King Wu really rebels, there will be no big waves." Lin Feng Exit to comfort the Empress Dowager.Now their biggest advantage is to get the news in advance, so they can make arrangements early.As long as Zhao Qing's army returns in time, even if King Wu launched a rebellion, it would be a failure.Because in the early stage of the war, the court can control the situation and will not let the situation worsen.

However, the question now is, will Zhao Qing's army come back?Just relying on the queen mother's warrant, Zhao Qing led his troops back, which is like a rebellion. Could this be a conspiracy by Li Henian?Take this opportunity to get rid of Zhao Qing.

Lin Feng didn't dare to think about this. If all this was Li Henian's conspiracy, then Zhao Qing would definitely die.However, there is another question, will Zhao Qing lead the troops back as the queen mother imagined?The situation in the Western Regions is very unstable, and more than a dozen small countries are always ready to move. If Li Henian made an agreement with them in advance, and the small countries in the Western Regions attack the Yan Dynasty, will Zhao Qing still be able to escape?

With Zhao Qing's temper, he would rather not keep the capital than let foreigners step into the Great Wall.At that time, Zhao Qing was touched by the chaos of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He once wrote a poem saying: Confucianism will rise to the death of a strong man, and Shenzhou will praise benevolence and righteousness from then on.Once the barbarians were in chaos in the Central Plains, the scholars rushed to the cowards and wept.Therefore, in Zhao Qing's heart, it would be better to have civil strife than to allow foreign races to step into the Central Plains.

"Father's army? Under Li Henian's pressing step by step, the Northwest has already cut tens of thousands of troops. Now the Northwest army is just able to defend the border. It may be difficult to divide the troops back." The Queen Mother said.In the past few years, Li Henian has been cutting hundreds of thousands of frontier troops in the northwest, northeast, and southwest on the grounds that the treasury is empty and unable to pay high military expenditures. Now the generals of the frontier troops can barely defend passively.How difficult it is to divide the troops again.

"Everything depends on human effort, there will always be a way." Lin Feng said.The queen mother is now completely pessimistic.In the past few years, Li Henian has used his position as prime minister to vigorously eliminate dissidents and reduce the power of the military.If all he did was to prepare for King Wu's rebellion, then this matter would be terrible.Because, according to this, King Wu has been preparing for at least a year.

Nanjiang Province is a land of wealth and prosperity, and a year of careful preparation is enough to pile up an army with astonishing combat effectiveness with money.If this is the case, then the 1 people in the Yumajian are really not enough to watch.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng did not dare to tell the Queen Mother, if so, the Queen Mother might be so worried that she would not be able to sleep.The biggest dilemma for the imperial court now is that it cannot mobilize troops from various places, and the frontier troops cannot quench their thirst from far away.Although the Northeast is not far from Yanjing, a large part of the frontier army in the Northeast was dispatched to Goryeo a month ago to assist the King of Koryo in dealing with the invasion of Japanese pirates.As for the frontier army in the southwest, they were beyond their reach and were useless at all.

Chu Chu looked at Lin Feng pitifully, and the queen mother said, "Lin Feng, the only thing the Ai family can rely on now is you. The Ai family is a woman who thinks about fighting courtiers every day, and the Ai family is really tired. Sometimes, the Ai family The Ai family really doesn't care about anything, but the Ai family really can't leave the emperor behind. He's only six years old, should he be like Han Shaodi?"

Gently hugging the Queen Mother in his arms, Lin Feng said: "Don't worry, there is still me. Even if the capital is really in danger, I will take you all to leave the capital safely. Don't worry."

Nodding vigorously, the Queen Mother rested her head on Lin Feng's chest, feeling extremely at ease, but Lin Feng knew that the responsibility on her shoulders was even heavier.He has no experience in marching and fighting, but he believes that having him lead the army on behalf of the emperor and queen mother will at least improve the morale of the army, so he must lead the army out.Moreover, Lin Feng was also worried about letting others go.Although he doesn't know much about marching and fighting, it's better to be able to get news at the front line as soon as possible than to be anxious at the rear.This is also one of the reasons why Lin Feng decided to go out with the army.

The news of King Wu's rebellion finally came.Although it has not been reported to the capital yet, Lin Feng's people have already sent the news back quickly.It won't be long before the interested people in the capital will get the news.

The King of Wu favored the eunuchs with the Empress Dowager, and let the eunuchs take charge of the government.In order to avoid the tragedy in the late Tang Dynasty from happening again, the King of Wu decided to take the side of the Qing emperor and punish the eunuchs.Lin Feng thought for a while, didn't King Wu come here for himself?Well, I can't escape this matter even if I want to.

Holding the news he got, Lin Feng hurried towards the palace.As soon as he entered the palace gate, a young eunuch stopped him.Lin Feng stopped and looked over there.The little eunuch named him, Lin Feng knew, was from the Hall of Kindness.

"Why are you here?" Lin Feng walked over and asked.

"Reporting to Eunuch Lin, the slave is going out of the palace to look for Eunuch Lin at the Queen Mother's order. The Empress Dowager has urgent matters to find Eunuch Lin." The little eunuch said.Although the little eunuch didn't say what it was, Lin Feng could almost guess that it was probably because of King Wu's rebellion.

"I'm going to the Hall of Kindness." Lin Feng hurriedly walked towards the Hall of Kindness while talking.

When Lin Feng came to the Hall of Kindness, the Empress Dowager just went out. Seeing Lin Feng, the Empress Dowager also ignored the etiquette and shouted: "Lin Feng, quickly accompany Ai's family to the Qinzheng Hall." While Lin Feng was still dazed, the Empress Dowager had already sat down. On the phoenix chariot, he walked a long way.Lin Feng quickly turned around, followed Feng Nian, and walked towards the Palace of Qinzheng.

On the way, Lin Feng realized that the news of King Wu's rebellion had already been sent back.Although the people don't know about it, many ministers in the court already know about it.Right Prime Minister Li Henian even urgently called this court meeting.

"The news came so quickly?" Lin Feng was a little surprised.Lin Feng thought about how it would take a day and a half at night to get the news, but he didn't expect that it was almost the same as him getting the news.It seems that his news is still a bit behind.

When Lin Feng accompanied Tianhou to lead the Hall of Qinzheng, many ministers had already gathered in the Hall of Qinzheng, and they were all discussing in a low voice at the moment.Some officials who were not well-informed listened to those well-informed officials talking about King Wu's rebellion.

"The emperor is here." Almost at the same time as Empress Dowager He, the emperor also came to the Palace of Qinzheng.After the minister briefly saluted the emperor, Li Henian, the prime minister of the right, was the first to talk about King Wu's rebellion.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" The emperor's immature voice resounded in the Hall of Qinzheng, but the ministers lowered their heads at the moment, and no one was willing to speak.The king of Wu raised 15 troops, but how many troops can the court produce?At this time, whoever comes forward will be courting death.The best way is to keep silent.

"Your Majesty, you should hurry up and order troops to quell the rebellion." Liu Yi, the servant of the Ministry of War, stood up and said.Although he knew that the best way at this time was to keep silent and protect himself wisely, but Liu Yi still stood up.

Looking back at Liu Yi, Li Henian asked back: "Master Liu, where will the imperial court send troops? Now the capital's army is only 5 people. These people are responsible for the emperor's comfort, and they must not be disturbed. It’s too late to mobilize the army temporarily. As for the frontier army, I’m afraid there is no hope at this time.”

"According to what Li Xiang said, are you just watching Wu Ni's rebel soldiers pointing at the capital? And the court doesn't care?" Liu Yi asked tit for tat.Although he also knew what Li Henian said was the truth, but at this time, the imperial court must not show weakness, otherwise, the feudal officials who waited and watched from all over the country might have different ideas and separate the regime. This is the last thing Liu Yi wants to see.

"Lord Liu, this old man doesn't mean that. I really want to lead troops to Nanjiang to suppress the rebellion, but the imperial court can't mobilize troops in a short time, so the best thing we can do now is to stick to the capital and wait for reinforcements from all over the place. " Li Henian said.A sincere look.

Taking a step directly towards Li Henian, Liu Yi almost pointed at Li Henian's nose and asked, "Li Xiang, do you think that the imperial court is sticking to the capital, and when King Wu goes to Yanjing from Nanjiang province, we will be waiting for reinforcements?" Is it?" Liu Yi's words were a bit outrageous, but they were true.If the imperial court really sticks to the capital and allows King Wu's rebels to go all the way north, then those local officials who feudal borders may fall to King Wu or the separatist side.In that case, the unified Yan Dynasty would be torn apart.

"Master Liu, are you doubting the loyalty of those ministers? I believe that they will definitely lead their troops to the capital to serve the king." Li Henian said firmly.But what he thinks in his heart, no one else knows.

The queen mother who was sitting behind the curtain couldn't stand Li Henian's wrangling, and said, "Okay, the most urgent task now is to discuss how to put down the Wu king's rebellion."
