Before he knew it, Jiang Zhenyu had been in ancient times for almost two months.
She was worried that Su Hang and the others couldn't find her and would choose to call the police.
The vegetables in the fields have been harvested again, and the wheat and rice fields have turned golden.
As the summer breeze blows, the wheat waves connect to the rice waves, like golden waves surging.
When Eunuch Cao saw this scene, his eyes turned green with envy.
The capital city was in chaos, and what everyone thought was a tough job was actually snatched away by him with great effort.
He couldn't wait to roll around in the fields and taste the fresh wheat and rice.
He couldn't even get bran to eat in the capital. A thousand people escorted him out of the capital and headed north, but in the end he was the only one left.
Unfortunately, his stomach was already empty.
Eunuch Cao thought that it would not be too late to read out the emperor's decree after filling his stomach.
...
...
He raised his head and drove his skinny horse towards Zhiyi City.
Qi Hou recognized him and sent someone to the government office to inquire before letting him into the city.
When Eunuch Cao saw the steamed buns on the table, his eyes widened and he forgot about reading the imperial edict.
Yang Jin took the imperial edict directly to the backyard. Eunuch Cao was eating a steamed bun, just comforting himself, telling him not to be too concerned about the details, as long as the emperor's edict was conveyed.
Restoring the throne of the crown prince is a great thing.
He believed that the deposed crown prince would treat him well after seeing the decree.
The meeting hall of the government office.
Yang Jin handed the imperial edict to Xiao Jingzhou with both hands.
After a long while, he finally asked, "Your Highness, this imperial edict..."
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Restore the position of Crown Prince, and Your Majesty will be the Emperor Emeritus."
When these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.
Yang Jin and Qi Hou looked at each other.
Yang Jin then raised his voice and said, "Your Highness, you must not return to the capital!"
He said, "Do you still remember the imperial edict?"
"I'm afraid this is a death warrant."
Yang Jin's words made everyone present change their expressions.
Emperor Dajing issued three edicts in total.
The first order was to order Yang Jin to escort the deposed crown prince to the capital.
The second one is that Gu Zhenbei died of poisoning, and Eunuch Cao ordered his return to Beijing.
The third way is to restore the position of crown prince.
How could the emperor's heart change easily? I'm afraid there is a bigger trap waiting for Xiao Jingzhou.
Everyone present was a loyal minister and a capable general, and what Yang Jin said was extremely treasonous.
But because of this, no one could refute it.
The current His Majesty has really chilled their hearts.
The meeting room fell silent instantly.
Jiang Zhenyu stroked Zhaocai in his arms and looked at Xiao Jingzhou: "I heard that Zhiyi City has taken in a lot of refugees recently. Are they all fleeing from the capital?"
These words awakened everyone present.
Soon, the scout entered the meeting room to report.
"Your Highness, I have already found out the situation in the capital."
"The grain warehouse in the capital is empty, and Lord Zhang is missing. Your Majesty, Empress Zhang, and all the concubines and princesses are still in the imperial city."
Jiang Zhenyu frowned: "Where is the third prince?"
The scout raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhenyu, his gaze stayed on him for only a moment, then he immediately lowered his head to reply.
He said, "The Third Prince has disappeared, and His Majesty has ordered a city-wide search."
The scout took a deep breath and said, "The capital is in chaos. The refugees are starving and are going crazy. They are specifically going to the homes of dignitaries to steal property and food."
"The nobles have limited food reserves, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long."
The capital city is in chaos, how much vitality is left in Dajing?
No one dared to think too deeply about it.
Xiao Jingzhou sat in the first seat and said condescendingly: "The capital is in chaos, where are the troops stationed in the capital?"
It is impossible for an army of 200,000 people to disappear for no reason.
The scout said: "I will go and visit them personally.
The news was heard from the people who fled to the capital a month and a half ago.
When they arrived in the capital, they saw no troops stationed outside the city.
Even the brave refugees went to the camp to look for food.
There was nothing left in the camp, not even a broken pot. ”
Shen Lan calculated the time: "A month and a half ago?"
"Isn't that the time when Eunuch Cao arrives in the capital?"
Uncle Zhang left the capital with the third prince and an army of 200,000, which showed that he had been prepared.
Xiao Jingzhou said coldly: "They are eyeing the food of the two cities."
When these words were spoken, the officials present were filled with indignation.
"How shameless!"
"At the beginning, Zhiyi City had no food, and the capital city even withheld the military pay that should have been paid, not to mention the innocent people who died tragically."
"Now that the crops have been planted, I want to pick the fruits that are ready."
"Bah! This Zhang guy has such a dirty heart!"
Zhiyi City used rain-making rockets to bring about a heavy rain.
After that, it rained several times in the two cities without the use of rain-enhancing bombs.
Therefore, the crops grow particularly beautifully.
In addition, the terrain of Zhiyi City and Yuanfeng is flat, and it is all black soil.
The land is vast and the crops are abundant.
It is not impossible to support an army of 200,000.
But I'm afraid that Zhang Guojiu's purpose of this trip is not just that.
Shen Lan sneered: "This decree is getting more ridiculous."
“Your Majesty has restored the throne to the Crown Prince.
Firstly, there was no tiger talisman to lead the troops, and secondly, there was no clear imperial decree ordering the troops to come to the rescue.
Are you asking His Highness to bring food back to Beijing for disaster relief? ”
Jiang Zhenyu's face also turned cold: "After the disaster relief, I'm afraid it will be abandoned after the work is done."
"I'm afraid this isn't the first time he's done something like this, right?"
Xiao Jingzhou's eyes were dark and unclear.
He was increasingly confused about what those in high positions were thinking.
He even felt that his father was no longer his father, but a puppet whose core had been taken away.
Soon, someone came to report: "Eunuch Cao meets Your Highness."
Shen Lan waved her hand impatiently: "No."
The soldier was about to leave, but Xiao Jingzhou said coldly, "Lock him up in the dungeon and interrogate him strictly."
He wanted to spare his life, so he used all kinds of torture to make Eunuch Cao confess what he had told Uncle Zhang after returning to Beijing.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say any more.
Xiao Jingzhou glanced at Jiang Zhenyu, feeling somewhat afraid that she would see his ruthless side.
Not long after, he suddenly appeared in the meeting room.
Yang Jin and his group did not know that Gu Zhenbei had faked his death.
They only knew that Lu Feng disappeared after Gu Zhenbei died.
Before anyone could ask.
Lu Feng knelt on one knee.
He said: "The master asked me to report to His Highness that the matter has been settled and everything went smoothly."
"He will definitely live up to your highness's expectations."
Then, Lu Feng took out a letter from his arms.
He handed it to Lu Chen and presented it to Xiao Jingzhou.
Lu Feng said in a deep voice: "I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
“This letter was entrusted by an old friend.
I really cannot refuse, so I come to present it to Your Highness for your review. ”
The officials present were confused and looked back and forth between Xiao Jingzhou and Lu Feng.
Jiang Zhenyu was also a little curious and turned his head to look at Xiao Jingzhou.
There was a sharp flash in those beautiful eyes.
She was shocked!
Jiang Zhenyu frowned and thought.
Who is the old friend that Lu Feng is talking about?
What was written in that letter?
