Secondly, there was a bloody palace incident and the crucifixion was caused by Lu Qingxia's collusion with the Mengwu assassins. The imperial court must then support the Tangyi army to march north to Hehuai to join the war.

In other words, unless Huaidong also sends troops to cross the Yangtze River to attack Xu Si, it is possible to get a share of the pie.

Otherwise, you won’t even be able to eat farts.

If Huaidong refuses to admit it, what can they do? Shen Yang and others have reached a consensus that Youlong Military Forces have heightened their vigilance in Runzhou opposite Yangzhou. Tangyi has assembled dozens of warships on the east wing. Even if they want to move,

But there was not even an excuse that could convince Huaidong generals.

Yang Yuanyan's heart and lungs were about to explode with anger. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen didn't notice anything in Yangzhou, which was only a stone's throw away from Jinling.

Zhao Zhen stood there stiffly, letting the tea cup filled with hot tea hit him and then rolled to the ground and broke into two pieces.

Zhao Zhen has his own difficulties.

Ask him to run an army or lead soldiers and horses to charge into battle, and he won't frown, but he has been shouldering the responsibility of military and political affairs, and this period of time has made him extremely tired.

Since the beginning of summer, Hongzepu floods have filled the air, and every county in Yangzhou has been severely flooded. Hundreds of thousands of flood victims have flocked to Yangzhou to be fed. Merchants controlled by aristocratic clans have been hoarding rice, making the price of rice in Yangzhou several times higher than at the beginning of the year.

.

On the eve of the palace coup, the Baisha River burst its banks, and tens of thousands of people on the east bank of the Baisha River were trapped by the flood.

The city of Yangzhou was unable to provide rice for disaster relief. The day before yesterday, thousands of refugees from Gaoyou gathered to besiege the farmyard where grain was being stored. This was already the fourth civil unrest in Yangzhou since the beginning of summer.

Under such circumstances, how could he keep an eye on the troubles in Jinling at all times?

Besides, after Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng left Yangzhou, the Chuzhou side was directly in charge of spying. Why was the news not spread in time? Zhao Zhen also wanted to ask the Chuzhou side.

Of course, King Xin was angry, and Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng were also standing at attention in the hall. Zhao Zhen could only try his best to calm down his mood and not argue.

After Yang Yuanyan vented his anger, Ruan Yan glanced at Wang Wenqian opposite, who was sitting behind the case like an old monk, and said thoughtfully: "Lu Qingxia colluded to initiate the palace coup. Most of them were from Cishou Palace before nightfall."

Blocking the news prevents our spies from leaving Jinling City. However, after Chang Guogong's daughter appeared, the situation in the imperial city was no longer under Lu Qingxia's control. At this time, our spies could not leave the city to deliver the news. Most of the people behind this

It’s Tangyi’s fault..."

Tangyi and Jinling face each other across the river. To the east of Tangyi is Yangzhou. The newly established Yangzi County in the late period of the former dynasty and the Yingluan Fortress they built in order to strengthen the defense along the river are close to the hills on the north bank of the Yangtze River. They are just outside the Donghua Gate of Jinling City.

The direct distance to the Changchun Palace is less than thirty miles.

Ruan Yan didn't want to be like King Xin, needlessly scolding Zhao Zhen for his hindsight. He calmed down and thought about it. In fact, their current espionage transmission system is too crude and the channel is easily cut off. The channel was cut off last night. At present,

It seems more likely that Tangyi did something.

And if this is the case, it means that Tangyi has a lot of people lurking in Gyeonggi in recent years, and they decided immediately when the palace change happened, and tried every means to delay Huaidong's knowledge of the palace change, so that Tangyi could get the news from the palace.

Seeking more benefits in the coup - obviously, Huaidong was kept in the dark, and Tangyi immediately gathered the water infantry on the north bank of Gyeonggi. No matter who was the final winner of the palace rebellion, he would choose first.

Appease Tangyi, or satisfy Tangyi's appetite as much as possible.

After Yang Yuanyan vented his uncontrollable anger, he sat down angrily. After listening to Ruan Yan's words, he looked at Wang Wenqian and asked, "Is this really what the Prime Minister said?"

"The Prime Minister knew that Tang Yi was eager to conquer the river, and it was indeed possible for people to block the channel and prevent Huaidong from receiving news. But in the imperial city, no matter who would win in the end, as long as Huaidong could not participate, Tang would

The capital will gain great profits..." Wang Wenqian said calmly.

"Is this Han Qian's wishful thinking?" Yang Yuanyan gradually calmed down, and the more he thought about it, the more he frowned and asked, "But when Han Qian was engaged in the Chishan Army, I heard you say

This Yun Puzi was practicing Taoism in Maoshan at that time, and now it happened to be Yun Puzi who took the man from Changxin Palace and the eldest prince to Shangshu Province in time. Is it possible that he had been bribed by Han Qian a long time ago? He is actually from Tangyi.

Has the hidden stake been lurking in the imperial city?"

"His Highness has insight. Hearing what His Highness said, it is really possible. Shen Yang wants the two palaces to be respected together. Maybe he is worried about this!" Wang Wenqian said.

Yang Yuanyan asked Ruan Yan and Wang Wenqian, "How can Gudang break this situation?"

Ruan Yan glanced at Wang Wenqian and said: "Your Highness should reconcile with the court..."

"How can we reconcile? It's impossible for me to deprive myself of the title of king, right?" Yang Yuanyan asked angrily.

"Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others were involved in the situation, but in the end they still insisted on the two empress dowagers of Changxin Palace and Mingcheng Palace. This shows that they were still wary of the possibility that Changxin Palace would completely collude with the Han family and Tangyi, causing the imperial court to Out of the control of the ministers," Wang Wenqian gritted his teeth and continued Ruan Yan's topic, and said in depth, "Emperor Yanyou was assassinated and died. The new emperor is just a newborn baby. Your Highness does not need to worry that the new emperor will be harmful to Your Highness. At this time If His Highness can take the initiative to reconcile with the court, he will be as sincere in protecting the Yang clan as King Shou and Marquis Liyang. I want to trust Shen Yang and others and put down their guard against His Highness..."

"... Prime Minister, what should I do to Gu? Tell me clearly and stop being secretive. Gu is not the kind of foolish king who can't listen to good advice." Yang Yuanyan said.

"Your Highness should ask for the reduction of the vassal status." Ruan Yan said at this time, not wanting Wang Wenqian to take away all the credit.

"..." The veins on Yang Yuanyan's forehead twitched, but he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Wang Wenqian, and asked, "Does what the Prime Minister said make sense?"

Wang Wenqian said: "When His Majesty was alive, he was very wary of His Highness, so he ordered the court to be wary of Huaidong. At that time, His Highness had to be on guard against Emperor Yanyou's fratricidal thoughts, and it was impossible for him to ask for a vassal reduction and give up on the imperial court. Be on guard - Huaidong is suspicious of the imperial court, which is why Tangyi reaps the benefits. Just as the Prime Minister said, His Majesty was assassinated and died recently. If His Highness can get rid of the suspicion between Huaidong and the imperial court, Tangyi will be better off again. It’s hard to sit back and reap the benefits…”

"That's what it is said..." Yang Yuanyan has been in charge of Huaidong for many years. It makes sense, but how can he make such a decision easily?

Wang Wenqian bit the bullet and continued: "Given the disaster this year, Huaidong is afraid that it will be difficult to be self-sufficient in money and food for a long time, and the power to govern the three states of Yangtai, Chu, and Chu will be returned to the imperial court. From now on, Huaidong will be responsible for its military affairs." The imperial court provided money and food to support him, so there was essentially no serious harm to His Highness. And only in this way, Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Yang En and others would truly eliminate their wariness of His Highness, and regard His Highness as the vassal screen of the Imperial Court, and His Highness as a human being. The vassal screen of the Yang clan. At this time, His Highness had the opportunity to send troops to fight against the rebellion in Xiangbei, so that Xiangbei would not fall into the hands of Tangyi. Then there would be another incident in the palace ban, and Shen Yang and others might think of His Highness. , instead of isolating Huaidong and having Tang Yi lead the decision on everything in a hurry. His Highness can even petition to appoint the third prince Yang Ye as the crown prince. In addition to this move, it can win over the Huang family and the Jiangdong family. When Shen Shen After thinking about it, everyone in Yang will definitely agree with His Highness's petition. The new emperor is young and has no children, so he appoints the emperor's younger brother as the crown prince of Chu and moves to the East Palace - at this time, in the palace confinement, the long-term trust can truly be formed. The palace and the Mingcheng Palace stand side by side."

"You should step back first and let me think carefully..." Yang Yuanyan said.
