Chapter VIII The Old and New Xijing Coup (5)

The rain followed the oil-paper umbrella and hit Zhou Ce's armor. Zhou Ce did not dodge, but his eyes were firm. Chen Zhiqing was a little uncomfortable under the umbrella. He was not used to his subordinates holding umbrellas for him, but today's situation was special and he had to show his posture.

, this is an imperial edict, and the task must be completed to the letter.

Zhong Rouxuan and others were slowly entering the city. Chen Zhiqing kept staring at the driver at the end of the team, but Zhou Ce's eyes never left Zhao He. Zhong Rouxuan was in the driver. She knew Chen Zhiqing was waiting for her, but

She had no intention of getting off the bus, and her failure from Xiangyang to Luochen was basically in his hands.

A group of people entered the city slowly in the heavy rain, but Daxuan did not give them any preferential treatment. They were allowed to walk in the rain. The Xuan army around them turned their nostrils to the sky with a look of contempt. They looked down on this group of people from the bottom of their hearts. As soldiers, they

More recognized on the battlefield

Fighting on the battlefield, deserters are the most despised by the Xuan army. They have the right to be proud. Since the founding of the country, there have been no Xuan soldiers who surrendered, only warriors who died in battle. There has always been an unwritten rule in the Xuan army, that is, the last time the dagger is used

The knife is reserved for yourself.

The team entering the city lasted for nearly two hours before they completely entered Yuzhou. When the driver arrived in front of Chen Zhiqing, he paused for a moment without opening the curtain. Zhong Rouxuan's voice came from the carriage, with a hint of indifference.

"Thank you, General Chen. I feel tired from running around for days, so I won't get out of the car."

Chen Zhiqing snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "Mrs. Tushan, you're welcome. Take care of yourself. There is a long road ahead."

Chen Zhiqing was deliberately trying to make her angry, which directly showed that Daxuan's attitude towards her was unwelcome, and also represented Daxuan's Tushan clan's hatred for her.

Zhong Rouxuan was calm in the carriage. She knew that Chen Zhiqing wanted to irritate her and make people around her think of her, but Zhong Rouxuan didn't care, and her carefully selected entourage would not think anything of her because of this.

Who doesn't know how Zhong Rouxuan came to power? Why they followed Zhong Rouxuan wholeheartedly? It was because they actively participated in the massacre of the Tushan clan and the Quan clan.

"General Chen is worrying too much. Your master needs to worry about the future of this palace. What trouble can we have?" Zhong Rouxuan was not polite.

"Hahaha! Mrs. Tu Shan is so confident. I am waiting at Dongting Lake to pick up Mrs. Tu Shan Xiyuan, the civil affairs officer of Yuezhou, to go south." Chen Zhiqing just wanted to make Zhong Rouxuan uncomfortable and make her journey bumpy.

Zhong Rouxuan came to make people angry. This was obviously intentional. Everyone in the world knew about the relationship between Zhong Rouxuan and the Tushan family. It would be easier to handle if it was Tushan Yinyuan, but if Tushan Xiyuan was chosen to come, the journey south would be inevitable.

You will be humiliated.

"Meng Yan has a good trick! I have learned from this!"

Zhong Rouxuan held back her anger, but she didn't dare to curse. Now she had to rely on Xuan Jun to survive to the south, but she didn't hold her tongue.

"A bereaved dog still dares to call my Majesty by his first name. He deserves to be damned!" Zhou Ce suddenly said something.

"General Chen, do your generals have this kind of quality? I thought Meng Yan was so brave." Zhong Rouxuan immediately caught Zhou Ce's sudden words, but what she didn't know was Zhou Ce's identity.

"Hahaha! In the army, he is my subordinate, but in the city, he is not. General Zhou is my majesty's son-in-law. He is still qualified to talk to his wife." Chen Zhiqing said with a smile.

Zhong Rouxuan kicked the iron plate and stopped talking. She was tricked by someone for her quick talk. It was raining all night because the house was leaking. She knocked on the car door and the car slowly moved towards the city.

Looking at the driver driving away, Chen Zhiqing said: "Stop standing there, you've pretended enough, go and wash up quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Qingshuai, I'm fine. This Zhong Rouxuan is so arrogant!" Zhou Ce sighed. He had fought with Luo Chen many times, but his level was not enough for Zhong Rouxuan to deal with. Today was also the first time he met Luo Chen.

To the Zhong family women.

"She has an arrogant tone but does not have the capital to be arrogant. Compared with her two sisters, she is far behind. Inform Xiyuan and let him do whatever he wants. As long as no one is killed, His Majesty will not blame her."

"Is this good? Didn't we promise to escort them south?" Zhou Ce asked in confusion. At the same time, he was also confused about Chen Zhiqing's behavior. In his memory, Chen Zhiqing was a role model for the entire Daxuan army. How could this happen?

Such an arrangement.

"You don't have to look at me like this. This is the intention of the People's Love Agency. But even if it is not the intention of the People's Love Agency, I will arrange it like this. Don't be polite to this woman, otherwise she will stab you. Cao Li, Tu Shanjin

Yuan and Quan Zheng are also considered outstanding men, let’s see how they end up.”

The heavy rain for days did not hinder the Xijing soldiers and horses from entering Luochen City. Li Qingque and Geng Chao walked side by side on the streets of Luochen.

Li Qingque looked at Luochen City, which was as prosperous as in the past, and sighed: "Luochen City was the place I dreamed of when I was a child. I thought it would be nice to find a place to settle in Luochen one day, but I never thought that today I would be the winner.

Come in with a posture.”

Geng Chao is a smart man. He is somewhat similar to Long Tingfei. He is unwilling to get involved in political struggles, but he can't help himself. Li Qingque has said so much that he has to express his position. Fortunately, Long Ting has

Fei’s example was in front of him and he said helplessly:

"General, royal matters are beyond my scope to discuss. You have reached this point today. In the end, the general only wants to drive out the aliens who have invaded us in the Western Region, restore peace to the people, and prevent communication between the Central Plains and the Western Continent.

Being bullied.”

Li Qingque nodded and said: "His Highness said that he does not require you to make any statement, and also agrees that you will continue to operate the Western Regions. However, if you want to return to the Western Regions, you must personally request His Majesty's decree. But I have something to say, do you seriously treat Luo

Chencheng doesn’t miss you at all?”

Li Qingque obviously didn't trust Geng Chao very much. There was only one Sanling family left. Although the capital was now in Xijing, Luochen City would definitely be the most prosperous city in the future. Luochen City had been the capital of the Central Plains for nearly a thousand years, and it was also a strategic military

As well as the main commercial route, the day is not far away when it will become the best city in the world again, but Geng Chao chose to go to the Western Regions. This is a bit unreasonable.

"General, General Long wants to confront Beimu in the northern border. Can't the general do his best for our country in the western region?"

Geng Chao was impatient, and his words were obviously full of emotions. He was tired of political struggles. What he wanted most was to be a pure soldier. But what Li Qingque said was right. There was only one family left in Sanling, and Xijing was the only one left.

The family is still the least favored, and now it is one of the four major families in the Central Plains.

One day, the Dahe Quan family has long since disappeared in the hands of Zhong Rouxuan, and the so-called Quan family orthodoxy has now become a vassal of the Xiao family. From the bottom of my heart, my choice is correct and wise, but the internal disputes within the Quan family

He struggles but doesn't know how far the family he works for can go.

"General Geng, don't be angry. Since you want to imitate Long Tingfei, just follow your heart and don't look back!" Li Qingque was not angry, but admired Geng Chao in his heart. He had also been like this before.

His ideal, but since Li Shi was handed over to his hands, responsibilities came with him, and the ties of worldly affairs left him with no choice at all.

Geng Chao was stunned, then he bowed his hands respectfully to Li Qingque and said, "Thank you, General! Geng Chao understands!"

Li Qingque and Geng Chao did not discuss this topic again because Quan Bo's chariot was about to arrive. The bumps along the way made Quan Bo a little tired, but he could not hide his excitement. After all, the Daling Dynasty continued in his hands.

"Prime Minister Li, you said that I will move the capital to Luochen, will the courtiers agree?" Quan Bo said lazily.

Quan Bo's casualness can make Li Zhengqian feel cold, but he can't let him have this idea, otherwise a lot of people's plans will fail, but it can't be too obvious. Li Zhengqian has not been the prime minister for nothing for many years, and his face is shameless.

He said with an expression: "Your Majesty, if Nanyang, Kaifeng and Taiyuan are in our hands, it would certainly be a good idea to move the capital to Luochen. I don't think it is appropriate to move the capital under the current situation."

Quan Bo smiled and said: "I don't want to move the capital now. Prime Minister Li is right. Nanyang, Taiyuan and Kaifeng are our new goals. Speaking of which, where does Prime Minister Li think we should start?

"

"Your Majesty, I think we should start with Taiyuan first!" Li Zhengqian looked thoughtful.

"Oh? Why not Nanyang or Kaifeng? Can you tell me, Mr. Li? There is still some time before Luochen. Let us have a good chat." Quan Bo was very interested and had a rare good attitude.

Li Zheng bowed his hands modestly and said: "Your Majesty, Nanyang is where Da Xi Qianbi has been operating for many years. The peace of Nanyang has been handed over to Da Xuan. Everything is as usual. Our army has just experienced a fight and has no ability to go south."

"That makes sense. Da Xi Qianbi was forced to leave by Zhong Rouxuan. I heard from Liulice that Da Xi Qianbi has become the number one person in the military in Chengdu?"

"Yes, but it is not his turn to be the number one in the military. It is just a false name. Emperor Xuan has been touring various places recently, and there is no such name as Da Xi Qianbi among the ministers left behind."

"What about Kaifeng?"

"Although Kaifeng has just experienced a major war, Xuan Song's army has not made much action yet. Nanyang's troops and Caizhou's troops can support Kaifeng at any time. Besides, Xuan Song is not someone to be trifled with."

"Xuan Song? This person is a bit interesting. Daxuan Shenying Commander's Mansion should be the largest force in the entire Xuan Army. It was originally run by Meng Yan's cronies Shi Ying. Later, Shi Ying was beaten badly by Yu Qingwu, and Meng Yan tried his best to defy everyone's opinions.

When Xuan Song was transferred to Jiangxia, who would have thought that Yu Qingwu would never ask for an advantage again, he is a great person."

Quan Bo said a little uncomfortable. Daxuan is located in the southwest of the Central Plains. Although Chengdu is prosperous, other places are considered to be the most barren places in the entire Central Plains. Now not only is the military strong and trade routes prosperous, even places like Yeling and Zhaonan can develop into

How can we not admire the granary of Daxuan?

This is just one of them. Daxuan's national policies are also implemented very appropriately, and there is a constant supply of talents. The matter of aristocratic families ruling the court is completely untenable in Daxuan. The two chambers are the talent pool of Daxuan. Anyone who wants to use it can be selected at any time.

Several people can be enriched in government affairs and military affairs.

"So the veteran believes that if our dynasty wants to restore the past of Daling, it must first unify the north, at least north of the river. Taiyuan should be the first step for our dynasty. We have an advantage over Taiyuan. Quan Xi surrendered to Daning that day.

Not everyone is willing to do so, and Long Tingfei is even more familiar with the Taiyuan garrison." Li Zhengqian's analysis was clear and logical, and it sounded like the monarch and his ministers were very close to each other.

Quan Bo did not rush to reply Li Zhengqian's analysis, but thought for a while and said: "Long Tingfei can be of great use. I originally planned to let him go to Jiuyuan to deal with Beimu. This is what I promised him. It seems that this

Time has not passed yet. If we take action against Taiyuan, it will be very important for Luo Chen to stay behind. I originally planned to let Li Qingque stay behind, but now it seems inappropriate. Does Prime Minister Li have a suitable candidate?"

Li Zhengqian hesitated. He had already chosen a candidate, but it was inappropriate to express his position too obviously. He could only appear to be confused.
