MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 105 Wrath of the Son of Heaven
Chapter 105 The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
When Li Xin left the Wei Wangfu, it was already in the afternoon. He wanted to go back to the Qinghe Princess Mansion. One was to check whether his subordinates were working, and the other was to get food for the Qinghe Princess.
During this period of time, Li Xin was considered to be the cook of the Qinghe Princess Mansion, and he had to get her a meal or two every day, but this was not a hard task. Anyway, Li Xin was not used to the food in this world. It is to eat by yourself, it is nothing more than a little more.
The ingredients for cooking can also go to the account of the Qinghe Princess Mansion.
Just as Li Xin was cooking in the Qinghe Princess Mansion, a fast horse stumbled into the capital from the south gate of the capital, and immediately sat a gaunt young man, the young man was riding fast on Desheng Street. Okay, he roared: "Express post letter, make way, make way!"
Dajin's postal law stipulates that there are three types of postal mails, one is the ordinary postal post, the other is the expedited post, and the more urgent one is the special express post.
The expedited postal mail is fine, but the horses are exchanged at the postal stations along the way to be delivered as soon as possible, but the special urgent postage is different. This type of postal post usually requires one person and three horses, and the postal stations along the way must prepare the best horses for rotation, which must be used. The fastest speed to Beijing.
How high can this level of urgency be?
A postal messenger holding a special express postal letter in his hand is not guilty of hitting someone to death along the way. If someone obstructs along the way, he will be punished as a major crime.
The common people in the capital were relatively politically sensitive. After hearing this, they quickly avoided both sides and made way for the bustling Victory Street.
The courier panicked slightly, and rushed directly towards the imperial city in the north city. When he reached the root of the imperial city, the already haggard courier shook the letter in his hand and hissed: "The emergency military situation in the southern border, Southern border emergency military situation!"
"Southern Xinjiang rebel Li Xing, entangled in 50,000 troops to rebel, has occupied several counties!"
The guards of the inner guard are on duty in front of the Yonganmen gate. Hearing this, his face changed greatly.
After half an hour, the post envoy finally passed through many hurdles, walked to Changle Palace, and knelt in front of the emperor of Chengde.
His voice was hoarse.
"Your Majesty, the prefect of Hanzhou, Li Xing and others, the anti-thief in the southern border, rebelled against the magistrate of Deyang, raised the banner of the Southern Han Dynasty, and entangled tens of thousands of anti-thief criminals. Now they have occupied several counties in Hanzhou. !"
"The thief is ferocious, please make your decision!"
It stands to reason that no matter what dynasty or generation of the emperor, the most troublesome or most feared is that some people rebel, because only this can fundamentally threaten the emperor's rule, but after the Chengde emperor received this special express letter, he Not flustered, but expressionless.
The present emperor, dressed in purple casual clothes, looked out of the palace gate lightly and muttered to himself.
"Hasn't the southwest been a little more peaceful over the years? How could it be chaos?"
The post envoy said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the villain is just delivering letters..."
"I didn't ask you."
The emperor of Chengde waved his hand lightly: "I already know the matter, you have worked hard all the way, go down and rest."
"As ordered..."
When the post envoy walked out of Changle Palace, the emperor of Chengde sneered and threw the post letter in his hand on the ground.
"It's such a coincidence that within two months of Li Shengang's return to Beijing, chaos broke out in the southern border again. It seems that my great Jin, without him, will not be able to pacify the Nanhou Mansion!"
Eldest **** Chen Ju bent his body and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, calm down..."
"How can I calm my anger!"
The emperor of Chengde patted the table heavily and roared in a low voice, "Li Shen doesn't even want to do superficial skills, he just wants to tell me that he is tired of staying in the capital and wants to go back to the southern border to "suppress the rebellion" It's gone!"
Li Shen wants to leave the capital, which is a matter of course. After all, there is actually a feud between the Pingnan Houfu and the Dajin royal family, and both sides are jealous of each other.
The old and young of the Marquis of Pingnan stay in the capital, which is Li Shen's "proton" in the capital. With the proton, it is unlikely that he will stay in the capital for a long time. In case the emperor is not ready to be embarrassed, he will bite Li Shen's teeth. If it is cut, and then the Pingnanhou Mansion is taken up and down, the Pingnan Army in the southern border will be leaderless in an instant.
This solution is only dignified, but it is indeed the most convenient way.
However, it is not completely unprepared for this Li family. The Pingnanhou Mansion has selected a large number of strong soldiers from the Southern Border Army, and retired to the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital to be a "department". This is the end of the Pingnanhou Mansion. If the emperor really wants to attack their family, these more than 1,000 episodes may be able to protect one or two people from escaping the capital.
But until it is forced, the Pingnan Houfu will not be willing to turn against the court.
Therefore, Li Shen could not stay in the capital.
He can only ensure safety if he returns to the southern border, himself, and the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital.
Chengde Tianzi's face flushed with anger, and he patted the table angrily: "Li Shen is treating me, the entire court, as a fool!"
Chen Ju bent slightly and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, calm down, there is nothing in the world that Your Majesty can't solve. Your Majesty must not get angry."
The emperor of Chengde took a few deep breaths before trying to calm himself down. He bent down and picked up the post letter, then sat back on his dragon chair and read the letter carefully again.
The person who wrote this letter was Qi Yuan, the prefect of Hanzhou, who was a jinshi in the seventh year of Chengde. Three years ago, the emperor of Chengde personally sent him to Hanzhou as an official, and he was entrusted with great respect.
It's only been three years.
The emperor of Chengde gritted his teeth secretly.
This southern border is really not leaking?
Qi Yuan's betrayal is not surprising. Southern Xinjiang has been run by the Pingnanhou Mansion for more than 30 years, and the Pingnanhou Mansion has military power. Qi Yuan, a scholar, went into Hanzhou alone as a prefect, and it was impossible for him to become a prefect. of.
When you go to the southern border, your life and death are in the hands of the Pingnan Houfu. If you don't obey, you will "die of a sudden illness". In this case, you can't expect anyone to be loyal.
When the emperor of Chengde sent him there, he just had the attitude of giving it a try.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, closed his eyes for a long time, and finally opened his eyes slowly.
"Chen Ju, what should I do about this matter?"
Grand Duke Chen frowned.
Originally, in this situation, as long as Li Shen was sent back to the southern border, within three months, the rebellion in the southern border would subside, but Chen Ju had followed the emperor for so many years, and naturally knew that his master did not like to hear this now, so this The eldest **** lowered his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, you don't want the Marquis of Pingnan to leave the capital?"
The emperor of Chengde snorted: "Is there any choice? If I don't send him, the rebellion in the southern border will intensify. The court recognizes that a general who goes to the southern border will die, and he will not be able to control the Pingnan Army at all."
The big **** rolled his eyes, and suddenly his heart moved.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has an idea..."
