The current situation is so turbulent, not only because the people in the court are in panic, but because the imperial guards frantically hunted down the prostitute who uttered wild words after fighting with Zhou Mixing.
Yan Sikong is not worried that She Zhun will be arrested. This person is easy to disguise, and has strong martial arts, and there are many underground forces. However, for safety reasons, he temporarily cut off contact. Anyway, his goal has basically been achieved, and the next thing will be more serious. The bigger, the smaller he can control.
In fact, he was quite surprised. Without Bao Yunyong's uprising, it would have been impossible for Liang Wang's incident to erupt so quickly, and it would have been out of control in a few months. It was either his luck or Ge Zhong's fate.
On this day, Yan Sikong was reading the previous official documents in the study room. Understanding the big and small affairs of the court is a compulsory homework for every Hanlin, especially before entering an official position. The cabinet ministers assist the emperor, and they assist the cabinet ministers. With reference to events that happened in the past, decrees issued, or court etiquette and rules, the Imperial Academy should answer them fluently.
Yan Sikong was concentrating on watching, when suddenly he heard the door creak, his first reaction was Feng Ye.
When Feng Ye came to his house, most of the time he sneaked in. Civil servants and generals were too close, so it was inevitable that they would fall into the truth, not to mention that Yan Sikong was the crown prince, and Feng Ye's status was even more special, so it was good for both of them.
Yan Sikong raised his head, with a smile on his face unconsciously, but when he saw the person coming, his smile suddenly subsided.
She Zhun said affectionately: "It's not your little wolf king, I'm very disappointed."
Yan Sikong stood up, with a vigilant face, lowered his voice and said: "Why are you here?"
"I have something important to tell you, and I can't wait for you to come to me." She Zhun shrugged, "Besides, you don't dare to find me now."
"Have you been discovered?"
"Not for the time being, but I still decided to go out of the city to avoid the limelight, and I will leave tonight." She Zhun looked around, "Your family has a lot of money, but you live in such a dilapidated place, are you willing?"
"I'm not interested in pleasure, so why not be reconciled to it." Yan Sikong checked the doors and windows, making sure they were all closed, and said, "She Zhun, what happened?"
She Zhun sat in the chair unceremoniously, with her long legs up on Yan Sikong's desk: "After you came to see me that time, I sent people to Jingzhou to keep an eye on King Liang, the number of guards on King Liang It's true that he exceeds the feudal king's quota, but he's not very popular, and he's only been doing things to bully his mother these years, and I absolutely don't believe him if he's rebellious."
"So what?" Yan Sikong sneered, "Does he have it now?"
She Zhun narrowed his eyes: "If he doesn't fight back, he will die. Now he has indeed taken action."
"Very good." Yan Sikong said, "You said he was short-tempered, but back then he was also excellent in martial arts and martial arts, so he was more suitable to be emperor than Chen Yan. The tyrant's mother probably doesn't know how to do it, so she can only indulge in her sensuality all day long."
"You really want King Liang to usurp the throne?"
Yan Sikong was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "This is the Chen family's business."
"I'm asking if you want King Liang to usurp the throne? What, you have the guts to do it, but you don't have the guts to admit it?"
Yan Sikong looked at She Zhun with burning eyes: "You want to hear the truth?"
"In this world, you can only tell me the truth."
Yan Sikong said expressionlessly: "Chen Yan is weak and fatuous, King Liang is cruel and greedy, they are not worthy of being emperor. I not only want to take revenge, but also assist the crown prince to ascend to the throne as soon as possible."
"The little prince won your heart."
"This son will become a great weapon."
"What about Feng Ye?" She Zhun said coolly.
Yan Sikong frowned: "What does this have to do with Fengye?" She Zhun's sarcastic tone every time he mentioned Fengye made him rather displeased.
"I thought..." She Zhun grabbed Yan Sikong's writing brush and played with it in his hand, "With your childhood sweethearts' deep friendship, you will help King Jingyuan usurp the position or something, and the little prince will become the emperor in the future , aren’t you just under one person and above ten thousand people?”
"It's nonsense!" Yan Sikong said coldly, "The pain of changing the dynasty is not for the common people. I want revenge, but I can't disregard the lives of the common people in the world. Besides, whether it is Feng Jianping or Fengye, they are all generals. Not an emperor."
"Oh, then I misunderstood you." She Zhun stared at Yan Sikong fiercely like a poisonous snake with his eyes shining brightly.
"What, are you testing me?"
She Zhun smiled slightly: "Sikong, your thoughts are too deep, I can't find out, I just hope you take care of yourself and don't let yourself become a sinner through the ages."
Yan Sikong hooked the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "You came to me to tell me that King Liang is going to rebel? Now the whole world knows."
"More than that, I want to tell you that Ge Zhong's family is controlled by Xie Zhongren. He can only be loyal to the court and will not rebel against King Liang. He has the soldier talisman of Lianghu in his hands, and King Liang is planning a mutiny to seize the soldier talisman."
"When did you get the news?"
"Today, it will take at least three days for the news to reach me from the two lakes."
"Then the King of Liang might have already made a move." Yan Sikong pondered, "Is there any contact between the King of Liang and Bao Yunyong?"
"I haven't found out about this yet. I'm planning to go to Jingzhou in person this time. What do you think?"
"Once the anti-rebel forces mobilized by Luoyang and Huguang converge, it will be difficult for King Liang or Bao Yunyong to survive alone. They are likely to join forces. In fact, if King Liang can win the soldier talisman and control Jingzhou, Bao Yunyong will take the initiative to defect, otherwise He is trapped between Liang Wang and the rebel army, so he will be trapped to death." Yan Sikong said solemnly, "When you arrive in Jingzhou, please inform me as soon as you have any news."
"I know." She Zhun knocked on the table, then suddenly changed the topic, "Do you remember that we were smuggling salt along the coast?"
"...Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"
"You and I were young at that time, and the boss entrusted us with the most dangerous work of transporting goods, thinking that we didn't understand anything and were obedient." She Zhun smiled, "I did it to steal some money. I got in, I didn't expect that there would be someone more ambitious than me, who wanted to take everything from him."
Yan Sikong didn't change his face and said: "He has been sheltered by the eunuchs and has been doing evil for many years. Why don't you give these ill-gotten gains to me, I will spend them more valuable."
"When I saw that you sent him to the execution ground, but you retreated completely and emptied his coffers, I knew..." She Zhun looked deeply at Yan Sikong, "If someone in this world can help I will take revenge, and only you will be left."
Thinking of the past, Yan Sikong also felt a little emotional. Just as he was about to speak, She Zhun said with a smile: "Of course, I should have a lot of money. It's a long way to go to Jingzhou, but I have to take care of everything..."
"Don't worry, when will I miss you."
Suddenly, She Zhun's eyes changed, he turned over and stood up, made a "shh" gesture, and mouthed: "Someone is here."
"But Ali?"
She Zhun shook her head.
That can only be Feng Ye... Yan Sikong was a little nervous suddenly, his heart beat twice.
She Zhun looked at Yan Sikong and asked him what to do
A person with advanced martial arts has extremely keen senses, he can feel Feng Ye's breath, and Feng Ye must have felt his too.
Yan Sikong quickly calmed down, let She Zhun sit on the guest seat, and started talking to him.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Yan Sikong said, "Come in."
Feng Ye pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes first looked for something, and then fell on She Zhun not unexpectedly.
"Feng Ye, you just came back from the camp today?"
Feng Ye nodded: "This is..." His expression was unkind, and he was naturally hostile towards She Zhun.
She Zhun stood up, cupped his hands and said, "It's actually Prince Jingyuan's son. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yan Sikong said: "Oh, he is a friend of mine from the past, a person from the Jianghu. Before I came to Beijing, he also helped me. Recently, he visited relatives and passed by the capital, so he specially came to see me."
Feng Ye nodded, but still frowned, as if he was not satisfied with this explanation, but it was also impeccable.
"Sikong, since you have a guest, I won't bother you. I will stay in the capital for a few more days. You must make up for the drink you owe me."
"Hahaha, Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely thank you on the next day." Yan Sikong walked to the door and called, "Ali, send Brother Li back to the inn."
Ali quickly ran out of the house, and when he saw She Zhun, he was slightly taken aback, but soon returned to normal.
Feng Ye had a panoramic view of this subtle reaction.
After She Zhun left, Feng Ye asked suspiciously: "This person seems to have a lot of skill, how could I not know that you still know this 'jianghu man'?"
Yan Sikong smiled wryly: "After I left Guangning, I wandered around. I have come into contact with all kinds of religions. Brother Li is a chivalrous man. We haven't seen each other for many years. I almost didn't recognize him."
Feng Ye was skeptical: "Since he has helped you, I will hold a banquet tomorrow, and we will invite you together for this meal."
"No need, Brother Li has a free-spirited temperament and doesn't like to associate with people in the court." Yan Sikong stepped forward, helped Feng Ye take off his cloak, and said with a smile, "It's not too early to come back, I've already eaten dinner .”
Feng Ye's expression softened: "I came back urgently, I have something important to discuss with you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"The emperor may send us to Kuizhou to suppress the rebellion."
Yan Sikong was startled: "Could it be the King of Liang..."
Feng Ye nodded solemnly: "The king of Liang mutinied and imprisoned Ge Zhong, the governor of the two lakes. Bao Yunyong will probably go to the king of Liang. Our army is short of troops, so we have to transfer another 8,000 troops from the Jingshan camp."
"But the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing is only 30,000, so if we transfer 10,000, wouldn't the capital be empty?"
"Wala sent troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin, and the capital is not worried for the time being, but now the crisis in Jingzhou is more urgent."
"But General Zhao leads the troops?"
Feng Ye nodded, his bright eyes flickered.
Yan Sikong asked in shock: "Is General Zhao going to take you there?"
Feng Ye nodded again, and his mood fluctuated obviously: "Now is the time to employ people, and His Majesty will allow it."
Zhao Fuyi is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shuntian Mansion and the leader of the Royal Guards. Although his rank is one level lower than the commander-in-chief of the Shuntian Mansion, he is actually the supreme commander who protects the safety of the capital. The emperor divided his personal guards into eight Thousands, it can be seen how much he is afraid of King Liang.
Yan Sikong didn't want Feng Ye to go. King Liang's rebellion was planned secretly by him, but Bao Yunyong's rebellion was never in his expectation. King Liang alone is not difficult to deal with. In the current situation, the two must join forces, which will be a huge test for Dasheng. Starting from the overall situation, he hoped that the rebellion would be successful, otherwise Chen Kui's status would be lost. However, even if King Liang really usurped the throne, he had a far-reaching plan, he just didn't want Feng Ye to be involved prematurely.
Feng Ye was full of enthusiasm: "Last time, you and I talked about the time when the imperial court decided to use me. Now this opportunity has come. I finally don't have to be trapped in the capital and be an idle son."
Yan Sikong sighed: "This trip must be dangerous."
"What are you afraid of? I will definitely help General Zhao put down the rebellion." Feng Ye grabbed Yan Sikong's hand, "Kong'er, come with me."
Yan Sikong asked in surprise, "What?"
"Chang Shi Liang Guang's subordinates are short of a clerk, and Hanlin is usually required to take on this important task. Mr. Liang has a personal relationship with my father. As long as Mr. Yan Ge agrees, you can go out with the army." Feng Ye laughed, "Come with me .”
Yan Sikong was at a loss for a moment, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to run on the battlefield so soon? Even as a military clerk.
"Kong'er, I've always felt that you and I can do a great job, and it's useless for you to just talk about military training. Come with me to see the real battlefield!"
