After August, the sultry summer heat in Jiangning gradually subsided, and the days were not so difficult, but in the Chen Garden, Yue Lengqiu was as restless as the ants in the hot pot.

Yue Lengqiu held a volume of poetry and books in his hand, just pretending, and didn't read a word for a long time; his second son Yue Duming stood behind him and looked at the door frequently.

The old family Yue An came in with a lantern, and behind Yue An was a capable and strong man in black attire, narrow sleeves and leggings. The man walked to the desk, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Huaidong's troops in Mingzhou have shown no signs of being mobilized recently!"

"Oh!" Yue Lengqiu responded, threw the scroll in his hand aside, sat up straight, and looked at the sentry who was kneeling in front of the desk, "Tell me the details of what you will see in Mingzhou Mansion. Say……"

Regarding the deployment of the Huaidong Army in eastern Zhejiang, Yue Lengqiu repeatedly asked, and after confirming that there was no doubt, he let the sentry who came back from eastern Zhejiang leave. Huaidong is in control?"

"Huaidong used the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, and the news came back from Yanjing that the emperor threw himself into the water and died, and the kings of Jin and Qin were captured. Only the whereabouts of King Lu were unknown. There was no news from Tao Chun, but the Liang family and Qingzhou were here. Is the situation not obvious enough when the internal line is blocked?" Yue Duming said, "King Lu must have Huaidong in his hands, but the power of the Huaidong family is not enough to support King Lu, so he made peace with the Liang family and plotted a big plan. ——Dad, you have to act decisively, if it continues at this time, let Huaidong, Liang family, and Gu family seize the opportunity, my Yue family will die without a burial!”

"Fart, who taught you these words?" Yue Duming, the second son Yue Lengqiu stared at him sternly, "If things are as simple as you think, then it's easy to handle! You these few days, don't have anything to do with the people in Prince Ning's mansion. When you come and go, you must not talk about it with outsiders..." Having said that, his tone softened and he said earnestly, "Gu Wuchen has a son who can lead troops, your eldest brother died early, but you don't know how to grow -- the most important thing is the human heart. Unpredictable, if we really want to make trouble, how can we say that Tao Chun and Deng Yu will definitely be on our side? What choice will Dong Yuan make? What choice will Haiyu Chen's family make? What choice will Chen Xiyan and Yu Xinyuan make? What choice will Meng Yishan make? Can you give me a certain number? -Break your ass!" Yue Lengqiu was so upset that he even swears, so frightened that Yue Duming stood aside and refused to say a word.

"Did you send someone to find Cheng Bingbu?" Yue An, an old family member, reminded beside him.

Yue Lengqiu shook his head and said, "Cheng Yuqian's shaking head is unreliable! He still doesn't know about King Lu's disappearance. If King Lu really controls Huaidong, Gu Wuchen might have gone to test Cheng Yuqian's tone. When we go to Cheng Yuqian at this time, won't we let Huaidong know that we have been suspicious of King Lu? At this time, we must not be alarmed by the grass - even if we want to establish King Ning, we must be completely sure. We can first assume that Cheng Yuqian will I chose to be neutral, but apart from Cheng Yuqian, the strength of the guard battalion in Prince Ning's mansion was not as strong as that of the Jiangning water battalion. Huaidong and Dongyang were too close to Jiangning, and Huaidong's troops in Mingzhou mansion did not move, but as long as Gu Wuchen dispatched Dongyang's army to advance Jiang Ning, things are going to be very troublesome..."

"You can't just let them support King Lu!" Yue Duming said with a stubborn temper when he couldn't open his mouth just now. Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan, Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian and others all have a way of retreating to make peace with Huaidong. Yue Lengqiu will take a step back, maybe not to the point of ruining the family, but it will not end well either. Power resources are always limited, and King Lu wanted to reward Huaidong, the Liang family, and the Gu family for their support, and he had to make others sacrifice.

Besides, King Ning still has a battalion of 6,000 guards in hand, is he really willing to give up the emperor's monarchical power at his fingertips and be imprisoned to spend a life of loneliness?

Yue Lengqiu didn't think either left or right. For several days, he hadn't slept well, and he lost several kilograms of meat, which was even more tormenting than Yanjing being trapped.

"Is there an excuse for the second son to go to the Huinan Army first, so that Jiang Ning will always be in a state of chaos?" Yue An said.

Yue Lengqiu nodded helplessly, and said to his second son Yue Duming: "You don't want to leave the house for the past two days, you are going to Huinan, I have to find an excuse, I can't just take refuge in a simple way, and let people look down on our Yue family...you You have to fight for yourself.”

At this moment, the guard came in with two invitations to announce: "The salt and iron envoy Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu from the Ning Wangfu have come to visit and are waiting in the hall!"

"..." Yue Lengqiu was startled and took over the invitations from Zhang Yan and Liu Zhi. He suspected that Prince Ning's mansion had already known about the rumors, but when Zhang Yan and Liu Zhi came in, what could he say to them? But he refused to meet him. He was afraid of causing suspicion from Prince Ning's mansion. He said, "Please come here..." He immediately lay down on the bed. , the haggard sick man.

Zhang Yan and Liu Zhi came here to support the new emperor.

It has been a month since Yanjing fell, and Yanhu’s pseudo-edict also claimed that the emperor threw himself into the water and died. Regardless of whether Yanhu spread the news or not, it was a natural move to make King Ning the new emperor in Jiangning, even if the emperor fled to Jiangning in the future, The big deal is to be named the Supreme Emperor, that is the top priority.

However, Zhang Xie offered the city to surrender, and Zhang Xitong took away the post of Chief Ning's Mansion and placed him under house arrest. Jiang Ning's officials were still dissatisfied, and the public sentiment was fierce, and Yue Lengqiu was to be held accountable; Gu Wuchen and others were naturally behind the scenes.

After King Ning joined Jiangning, he was restrained by Zhang Xitong in many ways. He didn't like Zhang Xitong at all. He was about to take the throne and kicked Zhang Xitong away as a backwater dog. .

Yue Lengqiu said that he was sick and hid in the house and could not come out, and instructed people to say that even if the emperor was killed in the north, Jiang Ning would not be able to discuss the matter of standing after the period of filial piety, not to mention that the life and death of the emperor were unknown. He dragged the meeting down abruptly.

Yue Lengqiu was also thinking of retreating as an advance, to get out of Zhang Xie's relationship with the enemy, but he did not expect that King Lu would have the possibility of giving Huaidong control.

Zhang Yan and Liu Zhi walked into the bedroom and saw Yue Lengqiu's face was sallow and his cheeks were sunken.

Although Yue Lengqiu didn't want to talk about anything, he had to act like he had to let his old family Yue An and his second son Yue Duming quit first.

Zhang Yan sat down in front of Yue Lengqiu's couch and said, "Eunuch Yue, His Highness is very loyal to you, and he was also implicated by Zhang Xie's thief. In front of others, I was reprimanded by His Highness - this is all doing You can't take it seriously, but you can't really listen to your heart. This northern land is in a mess, and it will be impossible to clean up in three or five years, but the two lakes, Jiangxi, and two Zhejiang are also unstable. Compared with others, Yuegong is the mainstay. Hold on!"

"The old minister is loyal to the court and to His Highness, but he has no face to stay in Jiangning anymore. Master Zhang and Master Liu, you go and ask King Ning on my behalf, let me go to Huinan, and I would rather die under the sword of the luxury family and let the world go. People who know my loyalty are better than sitting in Jiangning and being wronged!" Yue Lengqiu held his body up, and his chest was suffocating.

Yue Lengqiu is going to Huinan? Zhang Yan's heart froze, no matter whether Yue Lengqiu was going to retreat, he naturally couldn't let him leave Jiangning and go to Huinan at this time. Besides, Deng Yu is already the official envoy of Huinan, and let Yue Lengqiu go to Huinan. What official position should he use to comfort him? Even if Deng Yu wanted to, all of this was not in line with the rules.

"Yuegong, don't be angry," Zhang Yan advised, "Jiangning's situation, how can you be the mainstay of this situation?"

At this moment, the old family Yue An walked in and said, "Chen Xiyan Chen Ge came to visit the master..."

Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Yan, and Liu Zhi were all puzzled: what did Chen Xiyan come to Yuefu in the middle of the night?

Although Chen Xiyan was also very active during this period, he always contacted Wu Party insiders. Yu Xinyuan didn't come to visit, but Chen Xiyan, who didn't show his face in front of outsiders after arriving in Jiangning, came to visit so late, how could Yue Lengqiu not think too much?

Anyway, Yue Lengqiu didn't have the air to keep Chen Xiyan out of the door, pretending to struggle to sit up, and let the second son go to the door on his behalf to welcome Chen Xiyan in.

Chen Xiyan knew that Zhang Yan and Liu Zhi were also here. His beard and hair were all white, but his body was still strong. Seeing Yue Lengqiu sitting in front of the sickbed, he said, "Master Zhang and Master Liu are here. I've been ill for a few months, and I've brought a good prescription for you..."

Yue Lengqiu was startled. He could not hide the fact of cheating from Chen Xiyan, an old fox—but listening to Chen Xiyan, he seemed to be aware of what happened to King Lu~www.readwn.com~ Yue Lengqiu thought to himself: Could it be that Huaidong Have you done the work of Tongwu Party?

"It's been too much trouble for Chen Ge, how can I have a cure for my illness?" Yue Lengqiu said with a wry smile.

"I brought someone here, and Duke Yue will know if he can treat him if he sees it!" Chen Xiyan said.

"..." Yue Lengqiu became more and more sure that Chen Xiyan had bought Huaidong, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhang Yan and Liu Zhi were puzzled, not knowing who Chen Xiyan had brought to see Yue Lengqiu and yet to avoid them.

Lin Xuwen was wrapped in a cloth cloak on a hot day, and he took it off after entering Yuefu. He was stuffed with stinky sweat and walked into Yue Lengqiu's bedroom.

"Lord Lin!" Liu Zhi was dumbfounded! Zhang Yan, Yue Lengqiu and Lin Xuwen didn't meet much, and they were not impressed, but Liu Zhi had been with Lin Xuwen in Jinhai for a while, and naturally recognized him at a glance. Lin Xuwen chose this opportunity to secretly arrive in Jiangning, and Liu Zhi was about to break out in a cold sweat! He stammered, "Lin...Lin...Lord Lin, why did you return to Jiangning?"

The so-called Lord Lin, there are three people who are the most famous, and these three are from the same family, powerful and powerful!

The first one was Chongzhou Bo and Huaidong's envoy Lin Fu. The person in front of him was naturally not Lin Fu.

The second person is Lin Tingli, the prefect of Dongyang and the military supervisor. Lin Tingli is almost 60 years old. The person in front of him is in his early 40s. Naturally, it will not be Lin Tingli.

The third person was Lin Xuwen, the envoy of the Jinhai Waterway, the governor of the Hejian House, and the superintendent of military preparations.

When Zhang Yan recognized Lin Xuwen, he was also suddenly in a cold sweat.

Yue Lengqiu thought that it was indeed from Huaidong, but when he saw that Lin Xuwen did not avoid Liu Zhi and Zhang Yan, he secretly asked: Did the Huaidong Army **** King Lu outside Jiangning City? My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
