Lord of the House

(asking for a red ticket)

In Jiangning City, there was also continuous autumn rain. Standing under the eaves of the palace, looking out through the pattering rain curtain, there was no sign of clearing in the cloudy sky.

Yuan Yan was wearing a chest-length skirt, revealing her snowy neck and neck. It was cold in autumn outside the hall. She put on an extra lotus green short open jacket. She watched the maid walk over with an umbrella and asked, "Huaixi will send you Those who came to Dongning, are they really people who escaped from Nanyang?"

The tears in the eye sockets of the two maids did not disappear, they were rubbed red and swollen, and said with a weeping voice: "Nanyang is really miserable, not one in a hundred people can escape, slaves... slaves can't bear to say it. "

"Why don't you have the heart to say it? Say it!"

A hoarse voice came from behind, Yuan Yan looked back, and saw the Queen Mother standing on the threshold. Although she was supported by the two palace attendants, her hand was still trembling, as if all her strength was supported by the right one. Shouxing turned on.

"Old Ancestor, it's cold outside, how can your body withstand the wind?" Yuan Yan hurriedly walked over the threshold to help the Queen Mother into the bedroom.

"I'm dead, the sky won't fall down, but it's just as those people wanted!" Although Liang Shi's eyes were unclear, but when he waved his head, he looked like a knife and cut through the two people standing in front of Yun Chi. The palace maid's face, but then a violent cough seemed to exhaust all her strength. Yuan Yanma took out a white silk handkerchief that looked like snow to pick up the phlegm for her, and hurriedly asked the palace attendant to put the queen mother in, looking at the blood coughed up on the handkerchief, her brows frowned. Thinking of the Queen Mother's words, Yuan Yan thought to herself: Do you want the Queen Mother to die?

At this time, Zhang Yan and Shen Rong came over and saluted Yuan Yan, "Princess Yuan Yan..."

Yuan Yan didn't know whether to stop outsiders from seeing the queen mother, but after thinking about it, she gave up and said: "The ancestor coughed up blood again, and his health was even worse, and the imperial doctor couldn't suggest any good solutions, but only said that the ancestor should meditate and recuperate. ; This mess is coming, how can you meditate?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhang Yan replied casually, not wanting to say anything more to Yuan Yan, so he walked into the bedroom. Although Zhang Yan also knew in his heart that the Queen Mother's body could not stand the struggle and stimulation, but the situation in Nanyang was already like this. Except for Lin Fu who immediately replaced Yuan's, there was no other news that could stimulate the Queen Mother.

"Is it Zhang Yan?" Mrs Liang struggled to get up from the soft couch. The light in the bedroom was not good, so her eyes could only see a little shadow.

"It's the old ministers Zhang Yan and Shen Rong," Zhang Yan replied, and told him all the news he had heard, "Yuanhou has arrived in Shouzhou, and Dong Yuan's intention is to ask Yuanhou to gather in Xinyang and escape from Nanyang. The collapsed soldiers that came out - although the effect will not be too big, but it can be gathered a little. Fortunately, Yuan Hou Ye did not return to Jiangning, but only asked Yuan Jinsheng to come back. Yuan Jinsheng is now detained in the Privy Council, and Cheng Xiangye will go I have seen it, but there is something unclear about the fall of Biyang. At this time, the Privy Council wants to detain the person first, and the emperor has no way to excuse him..."

"The pig herder is not afraid of blood on his hands, leaving him infamy for the ages, so let him be killed..." Liang Shi was so angry that he coughed up blood, and he didn't care that the palace attendant beside him was probably the eyeliner arranged by Lin Fu, so he poked him when he broke open. Lin Bie's old scar.

Zhang Yan also couldn't control the empress's arrogance, and continued: "The privy envoy intends to fight against the savages, things and captives. Here, in Qichun, Zuo Chengmu and Yue Lengqiu will act as countersigners, and they will go to Jiangning. Lin Xuwen and Cheng Xiangye both countersigned and presented it to the emperor. According to legend, the emperor did not express his position in the dormitory. It was Liu Zhi who secretly used the seal to issue the edict. Once the edict was issued, the military and political affairs of the world would be covered by the secretaries. Let him master it, the emperor is so angry when he is facing the court today! However, all the civil and military officials are in the Chongwen Hall, and they are all invited to fight."

"The pig herds won Jiangxi, and no matter how bad the war in the north was, they would not threaten Jiangning again. Those civil and military officials who are as stupid as pigs and timid as mice, seeing that they are not threatened, don't need them to go. To fight on the battlefield, how can you not show a little courage at this time?" Liang Shi, who hated iron not being steel, scolded all the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty.

Zhang Yan was silent in his heart.

In July, rescuing Nanyang and pacifying Yuanzhou were the two choices Huaidong faced at that time.

For the civil and military officials in Jiangning, Yuanzhou is related to the stability of Jiangxi and the security of Jiangning's flanks, especially when Jiangning was captured by the She family the year before. .

Therefore, the accusation that "Nanyang fell because Huaidong did not send reinforcements" has no market at all in Jiangning.

Heart, heart!

With the help of Gao Zongting, Song Fu and others, Lin Bie not only fought beautifully, but also had a great grasp of Jiangning's heart. Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning and fled north, losing most of the Yuan's little prestige. At this time, he suddenly supported the name of the imperial family, but he could no longer capture the hearts of the people.

In the past two years, countless officials from the imperial party's lineage have moved closer to Huaidong after being disappointed with the imperial family. The attitudes Yue Lengqiu and Zuo Chengmu showed this time are even more desperate. If these two call Huaidong to draw over, can they expect Cheng Yuqian and others to support the imperial family alone?

Now that Yuan Guizheng stayed in Shouzhou, Yuan Jinsheng was sent back to Jiangning to report the details of Nanyang's defeat. The Privy Council first detained Yuan Jinsheng because of the loss of Biyang, and none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said no.

Lin Bie set up the Privy Council outside the Ministry of War, and he personally served as the Privy Council to control the military and political affairs of the court.

However, in name, the Privy Council and the six ministries stand side by side, and there is no difference in status, and they are subordinated to the political affairs hall.

At this time, Lin Fu's document in Qichun clearly wanted Jiangning's monarchs and ministers to make up their minds to devote all their human and material resources to a deadly battle with Yan's captives in the Jingxiang area, but in fact it required the Privy Council to control the six divisions during the war. Power, the six ministers will be responsible to the Privy Council during the war, which is to concentrate almost all the power under the Privy Council system.

Although Lin Fu's request was limited to wartime, it seemed to be necessary at this time, so the Manchu civil and military rarely did not support it, but how could the Liang family and Emperor Yongxing want to see the power of the world further concentrated on Lin Fu?

What if you don't want to?

Mr. Liang scolded as if to vent, but he calmed down a little and asked Zhang Yan, "Dong Yuan really kept silent in Shouzhou?"

"The privy envoy wants to use the power of the government and the opposition to fight the battle of Jingxiang, how could Dong Yuan refuse?" The flood invaded; for the privy envoy, the big deal is to give up Xu Si and not defend, retreat to Huainan, and turn the Jianghuai land into a war zone, but at least half of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River can be protected..."

"No one in the world can compare to this pig herder! Chen Xiyan is an old fool, but I don't know how he sees the current situation under Jiuquan!" Liang Shi laughed angrily.

Yuan Yan stood in the dormitory and couldn't listen any more, so she made an excuse to leave, but the rain outside the hall was like a curtain, telling her to escape from this world, but there was no way.

At this time, a team of armored guards came over in a chariot, and Yuan Yan stood under the eaves.

At this time, only Gu Junxun, the lord of the county, who can take a jin chariot and be escorted by the guards directly into the palace and stop in front of the Palace of Longevity, is the only one.

"Gu Xianjun!" Yuan Yan greeted. As for the mature and plump woman beside Gu Junxun, Yuan Yan naturally recognized that she was Gu Junxun's cousin Gu Yingxiu.

"Princess Yuanyan is standing here!" Gu Junxun bowed her body and said, she is not good at intrigue in the temple, but as Lin Fu's main room, the queen mother is in poor health, and the palace of Chongguo needs someone to visit every day Empress Dowager, this is a responsibility she cannot escape. Seeing Yuan Yan's tired face, with a haggard look that a girl of her age should not have, Gu Junxun felt ashamed, but in the face of the world's hegemony, women are just vassals, just ornaments.

Gu Junxun's temperament is weak, but it does not mean that she has no knowledge - she is smart since childhood, coupled with the ups and downs of the Gu family over the years, and the **** struggle for power she has experienced over the years, her knowledge and will far surpass that of ordinary women in the world. Although her knowledge, strategy, and strength are not as good as Song Jia, Su Mei, or her cousin Gu Yingxiu, the turbulent world has pushed Lin Fu to the peak of this era. Standing behind Lin Fu, how could Gu Junxun not feel it? , how could he not know how **** it would be once Lin Bie slipped from this peak?

Gu Junxun was accompanied by four armed healthy women into the dormitory to greet the queen mother. Gu Yingxiu was guarding the dormitory, and Yuan Yan was too lazy to go in. In the end, she couldn't help but ask Gu Yingxiu: "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Nanyang have been slaughtered..."

"Princess Yuanyan is really kind-hearted," Gu Yingxiu smiled. The storms and waves she experienced in her life were much more sinister than Yuan Yan's. He had the opportunity to express the doubts in his heart and said, "The Duke of Chongguo was also angry about this in Qichun. He sent a letter back to Jiangning the day before yesterday, saying in the letter that he hated the cruelty of Yan's captives, the second hatred of betrayal, the loss of conscience, and the third hatred. The defender has no courage. Princess Yuanyan knows the cruelty of the enemy. In my heart, I hate Dayue's men who have no courage and can't make Nanyang into Yangxin..."

"Ah!" As if to tell Gu Yingxiu to clear the fog in her heart, Yuan Yan's eyes suddenly brightened: Yes, after Jinan City was captured, the soldiers and civilians in the city were also massacred. Her father, King, The mother-in-law and almost everyone she knew died in Jinan City. She fled to Yangxin with her uncle under the protection of Lu Jingyan and other generals, but Yangxin was then surrounded by tens of thousands of captive soldiers.

Who defended a small town like Yangxin without reinforcements?

No one should take all the responsibilities in the world.

Seeing the change in Yuan Yan's expression, Gu Yingxiu said, "I heard that the Queen Mother is very dissatisfied with Duke Chongguo these past two days, but I just don't know if the Queen Mother is resentful for the hundreds of thousands of troops killed in Nanyang, or something else. reason?"

"Yuan Yan doesn't know either..." Of course Yuan Yan knew in her heart, but she wouldn't tell the Queen Mother behind her back.

The empress dowager's resentment is just resentment that the last bit of Liang's force has vanished in the Nanyang fiasco, but it is resentment that Jiangning's official history, the military and the people have lost confidence in the imperial family, but it is resentment that even Yue Lengqiu, Zuo Chengmu and others have turned their backs. Huaidong's tendency is nothing but resentment of Huaidong's generation of Yuan, it seems that it is difficult to stop...

Before the world was turbulent, Yuan Yan felt that she was just a powerless duckweed leaf, and secretly said: As long as she knows where her heart is, she can't control other things. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
