After hearing Ye Feiying's words, Yao Xishui felt as if a poisonous thorn had been stabbed in his heart, and his eyes suddenly turned black. Who would have thought that her hard work over the years would not be worth the two broken cakes and a sentence from Han Qian more than ten years ago?

"The world is like a tiger, and human life is like an ant"?

How could you imagine that she would lose so badly so early?

"Is Miss Yao convinced of her defeat?" Feng Yi asked happily.

The corner of Yao Xishui's mouth twitched, wishing he could chop his sword into pieces with Feng Yi, the lousy thief, and Ye Feiying, the cheap maid.

Seeing that Yao Xishui was going crazy, Feng Yi did not dare to provoke her anymore, and signaled Ye Feiying to board the boat first, urging her: "Your brother Wuji's big ship is waiting for you. If we delay it any longer, if he

It would be bad if I mistakenly thought that the envoy of Lu Palace and Miss Yao would not let him go and ordered an attack..."

Feng Yi cupped his hands towards Lu Qingxia again and said, "There is something that Lu Gongshi may not like to hear, but since Han Qian has given the order, I have to say one more thing. How can Lu Gongshi go to Xiangbei and Tangyi Capital?"

You can win and close your eyes. Anyway, if you use your brains, Tangyi will be able to reap the benefits. But for colluding with foreign tribes, we must advise Lu Gongshi not to do it. Don't blame Tangyi himself when the time comes.

I will deal with you in the end..."

"Master Feng doesn't want to take the 'Second Prince' away?" Lu Qingxia asked through gritted teeth.

"Who cares about this young boy? Maybe only Lu Gongshi regards him as a bargaining chip! Please take him away and raise him to be fair and fat. Don't kill him casually. Maybe he can be exchanged with Tang Yi in the future.

I'm going to die." Feng Yiran smiled, waved his hand, grabbed the rope ladder in a very cool manner, and jumped onto the boat, but the landing was a little unstable and he almost fell.

Watching the small boat heading towards the giant fleet of ships in the distance,

Looking at the cold light of the crossbow on the giant ship flashing in the scorching sun, Lu Qingxia seemed to have aged twenty or thirty years at this moment, and said: "Go to Yingzhou..."

"Will Han Qian really let us cross the mouth of Yuxi River?" Although Zhou Yuan did not stop Lu Qingxia from handing over Ye Feiying, at this moment he was still worried about whether Han Qian would really let them live.

He must break through, and he would rather continue to rush east. After all, after the fleet intercepted by the Tangyi Navy in the lower reaches, the north bank is Yangzi County in Yangzhou, and the south bank is Runzhou Dantu County where the Youlong Military Army is stationed. Tangyi River

No matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible to intercept all their dozens of ships.

From Tangyi City to the west to Shuzhou East, nearly 400 miles of Yangtze River waterways are under the control of Tangyi Navy.

If Han Qian had just tricked them into turning around, they would have dozens of warships and two to three thousand men. No matter how confident Zhou Yuan was, he would not dare to hope that they could break through the 400-mile waterway blockade of Tangyi Navy.

Should they continue eastward to break through the interception, or should they turn around and hope that Han Qian would be merciful and let them live?

"He should know it, right?" Lu Qingxia said sadly, "If Han Qian insists on sending troops to the Hehuai River and regards Meng Wu as his enemy, then we will all be buried at the bottom of the river today, which will be of no benefit to him..."

Back on the big ship, Feng Yicai pressed her chest and gasped in pain: "Mom, I'm really scared to death. Lu Qingxia has never suffered such a big loss in her life. I'm really afraid that she won't be able to hold it back."

I'll chop it into minced meat and feed it to the dogs."

Han Qian looked away from the official ship of the Weaving Bureau, which was turning around, and laughed and cursed: "I leave Lu Qingxia a chance at every step, just to prevent her from jumping over the wall and making the situation difficult to deal with. What else do you have to fear? Besides, Lu

The young man escaped in such a mess that he may not have even brought a dog with him on the boat. If you chop it up, you can only feed it to shrimps and turtles!"

"You heartless person! However, now that they are allowed to hold the Queen Mother hostage and the 'Second Prince' flees to Xiangbei, Huaidong should have no excuse to be restless..." Feng Yi said.

"Without Wang Wenqian's help, Huaidong wouldn't have noticed anything unusual in Jinling City until now, right? Otherwise, the situation might not have been able to be calmed down so smoothly. I don't know where it will end in the end! "Guo Rong said with emotion.

Although the Military Intelligence Staff Department spent great efforts last night to block the water and land passage between Jinling and Yangzhou, Yangzhou is too close to the capital. It was not until it was confirmed that Huaidong was not aware of the shocking waves happening in Jinling City that everyone was relieved. Take a breath.

To be honest, Han Qian was more worried about the sudden movement in Huaidong beforehand.

Supporting Xin Wang Yang Yuan seems to be the situation that Shen Yang and others least want to see. After all, the veterans of Emperor Yanyou's line may be kicked aside, but if you think about it from a deeper level, Xin Wang Yang Yuan Acting is not an unacceptable choice for the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan.

Huaidong currently only maintains more than 40,000 standing troops, but as long as the Jiangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan aristocratic clans negotiate a peace, they can expand to 112,000 elite troops in a short period of time, and their military potential is not much worse than that of Tangyi.

Preventing chaos in Jinling and leaving the city full of corpses, and preventing Lu Qingxia from fleeing to Huaidong to instigate King Yang Yuanyan to rebel after failing to intercept the palace coup, were Han Qian's key precautions in advance.

Now that Lu Qingxia is accused of "colluding with Mongol assassins to kill Emperor Yanyou, kidnapping the Queen Mother, and the second prince fleeing to Xiangbei", no matter how much resentment and restlessness he has in his heart, Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan can only accept that Jinling has The fact of establishing a new emperor.

Yang Yuanyan still wanted to make a change at this time. Not only did he not get any support from the outside, but there was no one inside Huaidong to support him in taking risks.

"You go to Jinling for me to deal with the follow-up matters, and Feng Liao, Guo Que and the others return to East Lake. As for someone asking why the Tangyi battleship was able to intercept the rebel party at this time and force the rebel party to flee west, you and Shen Yang They said that yesterday, before dusk, all the gates of the imperial city were closed, soldiers were mobilized, and late at night there was a raging fire in the palace. I happened to be in Tangyi and saw an official ship fleeing eastward in the early morning, so I hurriedly mobilized the navy and warships to chase them. , but he told the thieves to flee westward, and I have to ask the court officials to forgive me..." Han Qian said to Feng Yi.

"So what if they don't forgive?" Feng Yi said with a smile.

Han Qian ignored Feng Yi and then said to Ye Feiying: "Miss Ye...are you going to call your real name Zhao Qingying from now on?"

Although Han Qian sent Feng Liao and Guo Que to Jinling to take charge, he was not sure that he could convince Ye Feiying beforehand. His real back-up plan to deal with the palace coup would not be followed by Yun Puzi, Qin Wen and others. In addition to every move in the inner court of the imperial city, the main reason is that after the Jinling Rebellion, the veterans of the Chishan Army who were disbanded by Zuo Guangde's army were incorporated into the bodyguards. A considerable number of grassroots military attachés have secretly joined the Chishan Society in recent years.

Of course, if Ye Feiying hadn't been able to bear to kill Li Yao at the critical moment, the palace coup might have been more bloody and out of control.

"Feiying has nothing to do with his heart. From now on, he will show his name to others as Feiying." Ye Feiying said.

"That's fine, will you come with us to Tangyi first?" Han Qian asked with a smile.

"Where is Zhao Wuji and the others?" Ye Feiying asked sadly after not seeing Zhao Wuji after boarding the ship.

"When Jinling is about to happen, Zhao Wuji will lead the main force of the Third Division to attack Qiaozhou. At this time, he is staying in Chaozhou to prepare for the war, unlike us who can wander on the Yangtze River," Han Qian said, " If you are anxious to see Zhao Wuji, I will arrange for you to disembark and ride a fast horse to Chaozhou."

No matter how fast the boat is, it is still not as fast as riding a fast horse on a galloping road.

Ye Feiying bowed and bowed. At this moment, he was undoubtedly eager to see Zhao Wuji.

Han Qian smiled and signaled Lin Zongjing to arrange a small boat, and the escort sent her directly to the shore and rode a horse to Chaozhou. They still had to rush to Tangyi City.

Tangyi City and Jinling City face each other across the river. Han Qian still has to stay in Tangyi City for a few days until it is confirmed that the new emperor's accession to the throne is accepted by all parties, and at least there will be no more disturbances south of the Yangtze River. Then he can truly escape and go north to supervise the war.

…………

…………

Han Qian entered Tangyi City by boat. After a lot of troubles, Feng Yi went to Jinling City with his brother Feng Liao, but Guo met with him. Later, he officially entered the palace as the envoy of Tangyi Zhifu to pay homage to the new emperor.

The Queen Mother of the two palaces, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Yang En and others.

Lu Qingxia and other rebels kidnapped the Queen Mother, and the two princes fled to Huaidong. They were intercepted by the Tangyi Navy in the waters near Aoshan Island and then fled westward. Although Youlong Wujun had a garrison on Aoshan Island, they did not send any orders.

Unable to react - after that, hundreds of warships of Tangyi Navy sailed out from Chaohu and Chuhe waterways, blocked the Yangtze River waterway, and a series of other events. Han Qian temporarily stationed in Tangyi City and sent Tangyi Navy warships to Jinling City.

On the north side, the gathering and other movements on the Yangtze River near Tangyi definitely made the generals in the imperial city feel their hearts hanging in their throats for a long time.

Feng Yi came over with Han Qian's memorial and made it clear that Tangyi would follow the consultation opinions of the ministers and accept the result of establishing the eldest prince Yang Bin on the throne. The whole matter was completely settled.

At this time, edicts such as passing the throne, respecting the Queen Mother, organizing funerals, and punishing rebellions were also issued one after another. Envoys were sent out of the imperial city to post imperial edicts to inform the world, and they were also issued to the capital and various prefectures and counties.

The ordinary people in Jinling City have been in panic all day and night - all the gates of the imperial city were closed before dusk yesterday. From Changyang Courtyard to late at night, dozens of fires made the imperial city shine in the sky. Jingjiang and Jinghai, both north of the palace, were

The sound of fighting could be heard for a long time, and the residents in the city could not feel at ease. However, it was only then that they truly confirmed that the situation in Dachu had completely changed again.

This incident started too quickly and ended too early. Everything mainly happened within the imperial city. Even within the imperial city, only a few palaces and a few government offices were burned down.

Although there were thousands of generals and palace attendants killed in this chaos, compared with the Jinling Rebellion that lasted for more than a year in 1989, in which hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died, this storm was really small.

They were like inconspicuous waves on the river, breaking without even making any waves.

At this time, the imperial messenger sent to Chuzhou to announce the funeral officially boarded the official ship and went down the river...

…………

…………

Of course, before the imperial envoy rushed to Chuzhou with the imperial edict, Zhang Xian, the personal messenger of King Shou Yang Zhitang, arrived in Chuzhou before nightfall and reported the detailed process of the bloody palace incident to King Xin Yang Yuanyan in detail.

The reason for doing this is not because Yang Zhitang has a fateful relationship with Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan, nor does it mean that Yang Zhitang wants to collude with Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan at this time.

This was a unanimous decision after consultation among the political officials.

In the final analysis, it is to ask King Xin Yang Yuanyan to be mentally prepared in advance, so that when the imperial envoy officially arrives in Chuzhou, King Xin will be furious and violent, killing the imperial envoy and tearing up the imperial edict.

It makes everyone look bad.

If that were the case, would the imperial court pursue Huaidong for the crime of disobeying the imperial edict and killing the imperial envoy without permission, or should he endure this and send people to persuade Huaidong not to cause trouble at this juncture?

Sometimes it is very necessary to communicate with each other in advance to save the face of both parties.

"Are you all blind? Are you useless guys just eating shit?"

After Zhang Xian, the messenger of King Longevity Yang Zhitang, was sent out of the hall, Yang Yuanyan angrily grabbed the tea cup on the sand table and smashed it on Zhao Zhen, the governor of Yangzhou who was standing in the hall and accompanied Zhang Xian to rush to Chuzhou.

He went over and roared loudly, his tiger eyes widened in anger, and wanted to skin Zhao Zhen alive.

He never thought that Zhao Zhen, who was also a veteran and was in Yangzhou, would not be aware of such a big change happening so close to Jinling City!

They actually waited until Yang Zhitang sent someone over to find out that eight years after he ascended the throne, the young and strong Emperor Yanyou had been assassinated by Lu Qingxia in collusion with Mengwu assassins.

They didn't know until this moment that Queen Mother Wang Chan'er, Chen De and others were kidnapped by Lu Qingxia and fled westward across the Yangtze River!

In fact, the official fleet of the Weaving Bureau that Lu Qingxia was traveling on was once less than fifteen or sixteen miles away from the mouth of the Han River, but was eventually forced to flee westward by Tangyi's warships.

They didn't know until this time that Shen Yang and other ministers involved in the political affairs had reached a consensus with Tang Yi and decided to make the eldest prince Yang Bin the emperor, and to entrust the two empress dowagers of Changxin Palace and Mingcheng Palace to take charge of the affairs!

It was only then that they realized that nothing happened to Huaidong from beginning to end.

If they could have noticed the possibility of a palace coup in Jinling last night, even if he had no intention of fighting for the throne at this time, Huaidong would never gain anything!

Not to mention other things, even if the court is originally allocated to the Xiangbei Army, which is equivalent to more than 2 million yuan of military resources every year, Huaidong will definitely have a much easier life in the future, and the standing army can be

The number of horses was between 60,000 and 80,000, so they were not afraid of Tangyi's strength.

Fortunately, even if the imperial court redistributes the saved military resources among the armies and vassal towns, it will definitely not be Huaidong's turn to take the lion's share.

The imperial court may want to recruit Zhang Wei's Jingzhou Army (Youwuwei Army) and Huang Lu's Zuowu Xiang Army to attack Xiangbei. If the country has enough funds, it will definitely strengthen these two units as soon as possible.
