Spring Forest Evening

Chapter 401 After reading the letter

Chunying actually didn't want to go back to the northwest. Although she did miss her parents and brothers when she first arrived in the capital, after all, she has been in the palace for several years, and even the impression of her parents in her mind is a bit blurred now. In the palace, her eyes and ears were fascinated, and her mind was far beyond that of that silly girl from the Northwest back then.

Now, at the right time, I witnessed a shocking palace change and helped escape the Cuiwei Palace with the little prince. Although the great credit was naturally due to Prince Jing and the girl Zhou in front of me, Chunying had figured it out a long time ago. Instead of going back to the Northwest and returning to the home that has become a stranger, it is better to stay in the capital and fight for a future.

Among other things, now that I am getting older, even though I came back from the capital city, but my eyes are so dark that I asked my parents to find someone to marry me, not to mention whether I can find a good one, Chunying herself will Not reconciled.

Five majestic tiger guards can all stay in this small farmyard as a caretaker with all their heart and soul, why?Isn't it for the future success of Conglong?

Speaking of which, if I stayed here and helped Miss Zhou take care of the crown prince, I wouldn't be less credited, right?

After all, according to what Miss Zhou said, the prince said in the letter that she should take the prince to prepare for a long-term stay in Tangquan Town, saying that since the queen mother and the third princess are so confident, the soldiers on the side of Zhongnan Road must It will arrive in Gyeonggi-do soon, and even the capital soon.

On the northwest side, Empress Jiang sent Long Fat Guard to look for the little prince. To be on the safe side, it would be safer to hide in this small town surrounded by mountains like a paradise.

After listening to Ms. Zhou's words at that time, the boss of the guard was more stable. He didn't start to discuss the arrangements for the future as Ms. Zhou said before. He only said something after a moment of silence:

"Miss, forgive me, this matter is a bit sudden, and it is related to the crown prince. I may have to discuss it with a few brothers tonight, and I will report to you the thoughts of the subordinates in the morning."

"Of course we need to have a good discussion," Zhou Heng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this:

"To tell you the truth, when I read the prince's letter just now, I was also... quite at a loss. You know, I originally planned to go to the side of Zhongnan Road. The main reason is that there is an elder of the prince over there. Go and join him, I don't know if you have heard of He Zuoju, the commander of the imperial guards during the late emperor's time."

He paused at this point, and saw the shocked expressions on the faces of several guards as he wished. It seemed that they all knew it, or that the title of Commander of the Guards was still useful, so he explained to them:

"Uncle He has some connections with the palace, so after the death of the first emperor, he lived in the palace. Anyway, there are only two people in the mansion, Prince Jing and his son. After the old Prince Jing passed away, he went out to relax and went to many places. At that time, Uncle He sent a letter to the prince, saying that he liked the beautiful scenery of the Taohua River in Zhongnan Road, and said that the food there was also to his liking, and he wanted to stay there for a longer time. Think about it, and live until now.”

These words were actually thought up by Zhou Heng on the spur of the moment.

In the letter, Shen Fu naturally told her the truth about Uncle He’s letter, saying that he had noticed the changes in the soldiers and horses of the Central South Road before, because he was afraid of being exposed, and because it involved military secrets after all, Uncle He was too embarrassed to wait a few days ago. The Japanese army only found out not long before the departure, and that day was already August [-]th, the first day when the gates of the capital were closed.

Thinking about it, at least on the bright side, the governor of Zhongnan Road still wants to make a show for the world to see.It is said that he told the officials below about the assassination and death of the emperor early in the morning. He said that the incident was too strange, and that the city gates were closed and there was no news of the queen mother and daughter. He was really worried, so he planned to send some people Coming to the capital, I want to know the truth when the city gate opens.

According to what Uncle He told Shen Fu in the letter, when the governor made such an announcement at that time, Zhongnan Road quickly exploded. Most people were very worried about the safety of the Queen Mother and her daughter, saying that "one is prosperous and one is harmed ", strongly urging the governor to send someone over.

"Everything prospers, everyone loses", this truth Zhou Heng also understands, no matter whether the officials and people on Zhongnan Road are really worried about the safety of the Queen Mother and her daughter, but he was slightly instigated by the governor and brought up such a reason, presumably to send troops It was a matter of course.

Of course, the original intention of sending troops was just to inquire about news from the capital, and to protect the safety of the mother and daughter of the Empress Dowager, but the vast majority of people on Zhongnan Road would never have thought that what happened in the palace of the capital was not at all. As they imagined.

And the so-called "some people" sent by the governor of Zhongnan Road are naturally not really just those people. According to Shen Fu, Uncle He's tone in the letter was a little anxious, saying that according to his years of experience, the people on the side of Zhongnan Road Many situations have been verified, and this time it can be said that they are all out to deal with the capital, vowing to take it down in one fell swoop.

"My lord told me that Uncle He used to lead troops in the northwest with the old lord Jing in the early years, and the judgment of the situation on the Zhongnan Road is not wrong," Zhou Heng explained to the five tiger guards in this way:

"What's more, let's speculate from common sense that if the three princesses want to become emperor, they must learn from people who are well-known and guard against people from other places. Therefore, the soldiers and horses on Zhongnan Road should start quickly, and it is best before everyone If you realize who you want to support, you captured the capital before, so that you have a chance of capturing Empress Jiang and returning to the palace smoothly, don’t you think so?”

"Speaking of it, this also explains why the three princesses still calmly sailed away with the Queen Mother after killing the commander of the Shence Army that day. Presumably they were sure that Su Pengfei would Come to control the situation, and there is really no need to worry, anyway, the army from Zhongnan Road is already rushing over, so it would be a waste for them to hurry up."

These words made several Huben Guards nod their heads.

In this way, Zhou Heng almost explained the meaning of Shen Fu's letter clearly, and basically let himself accept the fact that he will live in this simple farmyard for a while while speaking.

If you come, you will be safe. For this reason, I heard Chunying's clear statement the first night, and listened to the report from the boss of the guard the next morning:

"Miss, my brothers and sisters discussed it last night. Indeed, the best way now is to stand still. Then let's listen to the prince and settle down in Tangquan Town first!"

"However, since we want to stay here for a long time, this subordinate feels that we need to learn more about the situation outside, or let the second and fifth children go out for a stroll today, and then the fourth, um, don't bother Miss Chunying, let's go outside together to see if we can buy more food and the like..."
