The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 241 Current Affairs
Lord Pei spoke with confidence, and since he was carrying out the emperor's order, General Yan did not try to stop him.
Seeing Lord Pei heading toward the city gate alone, General Yan called out to his fifty personal soldiers and said:
"Put on your armor and hold your shields. If something goes wrong later, we'll rush to get Lord Pei back."
Pei Yu walked to the city gate, and the guard on the city wall became nervous. He shouted loudly to stop the attack, and thousands of arrows were ready to be fired from the top of the city wall.
General Yan held the shield in his left hand, pulled the reins with his right hand, and shouted:
"Prepare!"
Both armies were extremely nervous, but Pei Yu, the person involved, was calm and composed. He actually took out a fan and fanned himself slowly, then negotiated with the defender on the city wall.
General Yan was far away and couldn't hear clearly, but he saw that after a few words, all the arrows on the city wall were removed.
After a while, Lord Luo, the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, appeared on the city wall in person, and then the guard lowered a large wooden basket with a rope.
Pei Yu got on the wooden basket, which was pulled upwards by the guard. Pei Yu saw General Yan in the distance and waved his fan at him.
General Yan thought to himself, the scholar is indeed a brave and ruthless person. He went to the enemy camp alone without any panic, just like visiting a relative. He didn't know whether Lord Pei would come back after this trip.
It was almost time for dinner, but General Yan was not in a hurry to return to Weinan. The world was big, and eating was the most important thing, so he decided to eat first.
Unfortunately, General Shen was away with his troops to sweep the area around Shaanxi, so General Yan had nowhere to get a meal. So he went to the canteen in the camp, asked the cook to set up a pot and cook, and then went back after dinner.
As a result, just as the meal was cooked and before we could eat it, a guard came running over:
"General Yan, the city gate is open! Someone is coming out with a white flag!"
Another guard came running over:
"General Yan, Lord Pei sent a message to ask you to come into the city for dinner. Lord Luo will welcome you!"
Should I stay in the camp and eat the empty rations, or go into the city to enjoy the delicious food?
Do you still have to choose?
Hey, Lord Pei is really nice. It’s worth it for him to personally escort him here.
General Yan followed the army into the city and went to the appointment immediately.
Lord Luo is worthy of being the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu. He really put on a welcoming reception and booked the largest Fanlou in Xi'an to host a banquet for Lord Pei and General Yan.
When General Yan arrived, Lord Luo was crying bitterly about his loyalty to the emperor, and about how he was also a victim, and that his best cousin was harmed by Su Jiheng, and he must avenge his cousin.
When Pei Yu saw General Yan arriving, he patted the seat next to him, motioning for him to sit down, and then motioned to the restaurant owner who was serving next to him to get chopsticks for General Yan.
After General Yan sat down, Pei Yu smiled and said:
"General Yan, you've worked hard. I'll chat with Lord Luo for a while. You eat first."
General Yan understood. It turned out that he had nothing to do with it. Lord Luo only invited Lord Pei to a banquet, and Lord Pei really asked him to come just to have a meal.
Hey, that’s nice. General Yan felt that he liked this teammate even more.
General Yan was eating there while watching the performances of Lord Luo and Lord Pei.
As soon as Lord Luo finished crying his loyalty, he immediately accepted the step handed over by His Majesty and began to hand over power:
"I am old now, and I am really powerless to serve as the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. I want to resign and return home to farm. Your Majesty, please ask Lord Pei to help put in a few good words for me."
He has to hand over the power. Lord Luo is a man who knows the times. Xi'an has been surrounded. If he doesn't give up the position of Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, His Majesty will take action against him next after he has dealt with Su Jiheng.
But if he gave up his power at this time, His Majesty would appreciate his loyalty and give him a way out.
He had never been involved with Su Jiheng in the first place, he was just greedy for some money. If he continued to carry on, he would really become an accomplice of the traitor Su Jiheng, and then all nine members of the Luo family would be implicated.
Lord Luo had wanted to surrender to His Majesty before, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity or the way to go directly to the Heavenly Palace. He finally waited for Lord Pei to come, so he sincerely toasted Pei Yu with a glass of wine, wishing he could cry:
"You're finally here!"
……
When Pei Yu and the Luo family's carriage returned to the capital, the Ministry of Rites' proclamation to attack Su Jiheng had already been distributed all over the country.
This time, the Minister of Rites, Lord Yao, pressed the entire Ministry of Rites to work overtime in the yamen, and they were not allowed to leave until the final draft was completed. After revising eighteen versions, Su Fengyi finally nodded:
"This is okay."
It’s just okay, but that’s not enough!
Our Ministry of Rites cannot lose. The manifesto is aimed at public opinion, and what public opinion wants is coverage.
Mr. Yao continued to pressure everyone to work overtime and asked everyone to think of a solution:
"We must overwhelm Su Jiheng with our momentum, and let everyone in the Great Mu Dynasty, from the 88-year-old old woman to the 8-month-old child, read the manifesto issued by our emperor, and let the whole world know what a heartless traitor Su Jiheng is!"
The Ministry of Rites was not composed entirely of honest and obedient people. There was also a leader who was so oppressed by overwork that he wanted to rise up and came up with a bad idea:
"Aren't we writing about his debauchery and flattery? We need examples. Su Jiheng presented the emperor with a book on sex techniques. Let's put a paragraph in the manifesto for everyone to criticize. We don't have to worry about no one reading it. I guarantee that even dogs will fight to grab it after seeing it."
While Lord Yao lamented the collapse of social rituals and the decline of morals, he secretly had someone write that the author of that passage was Su Jiheng.
Paper was in great demand in Luoyang for a time, and the manifesto triggered a frenzy of buying.
Although the people were scrambling to buy the book, they enjoyed it secretly. After reading it, they looked down on Su Jiheng. How could a man who liked to write books like "The Art of Sex" be worthy of being an emperor? He definitely couldn't.
The makeshift team that had gathered around Su Jiheng because of the manifesto written by Zhou Yucai suddenly dispersed.
Su Fengyi didn't want to start a massacre, so she dragged it out for so long, waiting until the end of the public opinion war before taking action.
There are also those who are ignorant of the current situation and insist on following Su Jiheng. Since they don't take their own lives seriously, Su Fengyi decides to give up on them.
The struggle for imperial power has always resulted in rivers of blood.
At the end of August, the weather was getting colder, and Su Fengyi officially issued an order to General Shen, who had already wiped out all the forces in Shaanxi:
"Send troops to Pingliang to wipe out the rebels, regardless of life or death."
General Shen arranged General Yan to stay in Xi'an to look after the house, and sent Qian Qianhu to lead the team as scouts, and General Yang to lead the team as the main vanguard, and march to Pingliang.
There were still capable people under Su Jiheng's command. Under the siege of General Shen, he actually took Su Jiheng and the emperor and escaped from Pingliang.
Zhu Qi had experienced this capable man's abilities last time, when the Jinyiwei lost their target.
However, this talented person has never experienced Qian Qianhu's abilities.
Looking at the empty Pingliang Palace, Shen Quan looked at Qian Qianhu:
"how?"
Qian Qian looked around and pointed in a direction:
"go!"
