Chapter 493 Corresponding Arrangements
Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, the backyard of the governor's mansion
Tian came back from the government office in front with a very bad look on her face.
Lu Zhiyuan was holding his daughter. He was not surprised to see her come back with a bad look on her face, obviously because she didn't see her father and younger sister.
His whole family can see how busy his father and younger sister are now.
Be on alert everywhere.
Various personnel arrangements.
Pingzhou is fine, but the work of comforting the people of Youzhou...
The two of them were so busy that they almost stayed in the yamen. Even his mother was rarely seen these two days, let alone them.
"Husband, I can't see my father-in-law and sister-in-law. What should I do? What should my parents do?" Tian was completely at a loss.
When Tian learned that her father-in-law had rebelled, she fainted once. She was very worried about her family.
Lu Zhiyuan patiently comforted her, "Didn't my younger sister tell us not to worry? Let's not make a fuss for now. Once our father and younger sister are done with their work, they will definitely find a way to rescue them."
Besides, they can't put out the fire just yet.
All they can do now is wait.
Tian now regretted not having urged her parents to come with them to Pingzhou.
Tian grabbed his hand and said, "Husband, can you ask Dad and my younger sister to send someone back to Ping'an Town to pick her up?"
Lu Zhiyuan was speechless. He was afraid that it wouldn't work. He didn't have the face to ask his father and younger sister to listen to him.
"Wait a little longer, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely be fine."
"Wait? Wait until how long? Your Lu family is plotting a rebellion, and my Tian family is implicated!" Tian broke down, throwing herself on the bed and bursting into tears. These past two days, she couldn't help but wonder darkly if her father-in-law and sister-in-law had been planning a rebellion for a long time.
Hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan, who was holding his daughter, also looked cold. He knew very well how his father was forced to rebel in Pinggang. The situation was pressing. If his father didn't rebel, would he just be killed?
Governor's Office
Lu Desheng pinched his brows and asked, "Has your sister-in-law gone back?"
Lu Songli hummed, then picked up the cup on the table and took a big sip of strong tea.
At the beginning of the incident, she had asked Wang Dong to have people from Chang'an disguised as fortune tellers to find Tian's father and say that he would have a disaster this year. After fooling him, she asked him to take his family and seek refuge.
So, her sister-in-law disappeared.
They were really busy. When they met, they only offered some words of comfort. She could understand her sister-in-law's worries, but she really didn't have time to comfort her.
As for what her sister-in-law wanted to do, Lu Songli could guess, but they couldn't do it for the time being.
Now they are at a critical moment. If they are not careful, they may lose everything. They cannot afford to lose.
Lu Songli is compiling a list of talents in Pingzhou.
After they rebelled in Pingzhou, there would definitely be a wave of people leaving. They had to decide which people they had to persuade to stay, which ones could stay, and which ones had to leave.
And next they may have to deal with the blockade of the court, how to break the blockade, and how to ensure the normal life of the soldiers and people of the two states during the blockade.
These are the problems they will need to face next.
Lu Desheng sighed.
"Why is Dad sighing?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little worried about Zhang Xian."
Lu Songli knew very well that if they rebelled in Pingzhou, it would be extremely dangerous for Zhang Xian, who was on good terms with them.
"Lord Zhang and the Tian family should be safe for the time being." Lu Songli comforted her father.
Song Mo had a good reputation, so the manifesto they drafted was not written casually.
As a young king, standing at the pinnacle of power, he must have something to pursue at this time, such as being remembered in history.
If you have aspirations, you will inevitably take your reputation into consideration.
Zhang Xian, who had made great contributions to disaster relief in Nanyang, was a good official recognized by the people.
If Song Mo killed Zhang Xian now, it would just prove the comment in the manifesto that he was narrow-minded, intolerant, and persecuted loyal and good people.
Song Mo's reputation has just been damaged, and he definitely wants to save it, but it's not the time to throw all the pieces into the mix.
When Song Mo was most angry, the manifesto defeated him and gave Zhang Xian a chance to survive.
Next, it depends on the reactions of other forces, such as Prince Cheng, Prince Jin and Xie Zhan.
King Cheng and King Jin will definitely rebel.
Xie Zhan now faced a choice: either take advantage of the momentum in Pingzhou and join the rebellion, or stand firmly by Song Mo's side, use this incident to show his loyalty to him and seize power.
Of the two paths, Lu Songli tends to believe that Xie Zhan will follow suit and rebel.
Rebellion usually requires a legitimate reason and justification.
Although Xie Zhan could gain leverage by choosing the latter, it was a detour and might end up being unjustified and affecting the reputation of the entire family.
Moreover, choosing the latter also means giving up the Nandi that he has been running for two years, and Xie Zhan will definitely be reluctant to do so.
If others join in the rebellion, Song Mo will be in a state of panic. Zhang Xian will feel less pressured, and most importantly, he will be less conspicuous.
Lu Songli estimated that Song Mo would resort to those despicable and petty means only after he realized he couldn't do anything to them. In other words, they had a golden period to secretly rescue people.
After Lü Desheng confirmed that Zhang Xian was not in immediate danger, he asked with concern, "Have Ah Sheng and his three brothers returned?"
Lu Songli replied, "They should all be on their way."
Pingzhou rebelled, and the manifesto was an explanation to the people of the world, but they should also give an explanation to Pingzhou.
Furthermore, they need to purify the team and unify their will.
The Governor's Office has announced that an explanation will be given to everyone in Pingzhou within three days.
And this statement is not given casually.
Before that, there is one very important thing they need to confirm.
Just as the Lu father and daughter had expected, after the Qin brothers had dealt with the important matters and instructed their trusted generals to defend the city gates, they each returned to Changli, Liaoxi County, with their personal soldiers.
…
On his way back, Prince Gong took a detour to Bingzhou. In his heart, he still didn't trust Lu Songli, or rather, he didn't dare to face her, thinking of delaying it as much as possible.
In Bingzhou, they needed to hand over the two cities of Yanmen and Daijun to the Xianbei, and some people who left Youzhou needed to be resettled. This was a serious matter.
Prince Gong's intention was to let Lin Ran or Zuo Anmin lead the team, taking Deng Fangyi and other court officials back to Chang'an first.
But Lin Ran and Zuo Anmin did not respond, they just said that they would follow him and help him get things done in Bingzhou.
In desperation, he had to send his confidant back to Chang'an to report the details of the Pinggang negotiations to the emperor.
Afterwards, Prince Gong fell ill after learning that Pingzhou had issued a manifesto to denounce Song Mo.
Lin Ran then took his men back to Chang'an in a forceful manner.
