Lianghe Yuzhou came to the imperial court, and the imperial mission broke Long Zhaohuan's good deeds. Long Zhaohuan really hated him and gritted his teeth.
He was purely stealing chickens and not losing money. Not only did he not get the Yuzhou Army, but he lost 10,000 elite soldiers. This loss was simply unbearable for him.
When he heard that Lu Zheng was acting on the imperial escort, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Lu Zheng for a while, and he cursed Lu Zheng violently. After getting addicted to his mouth, he said to the counselors around him:
"What are we going to do now? Gyeonggi has no soldiers to use, and the money, grain, oil and rice are almost exhausted. If this goes on, I will die without a place to bury!" Long Zhaohuan said.
You look at me, I look at you, don’t know what to do! Long Zhaohuan was really upset. He led a few confidantes out of the palace and went straight to Guiyin Temple in the western suburbs.
At Guiyin Temple in the western suburbs, Monk Daojin is no different from the past. He still has the same plain expression. The ancient well is not waved. Long Zhaohuan stepped forward to ask for advice. He couldn't help but bowed his head in tears and said, "Master Dao Jin, Zhaohuan keeps begging. Xian Ruo thirsty, thinking that he can move the master with sincerity, so that the master can plan for Zhaohuan! Hey, it is a pity that Zhaohuan has repeatedly encountered setbacks. This time Zhaohuan went to Lianghe to earn the Yuzhou army, but he did not expect to be the Yuzhou army. As a result, the elite of the capital was destroyed once, and the matter has come to an end, Zhaohuan has nowhere to go. I came here today to bid farewell to the master!"
Monk Dao Jin frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Why is the prince too depressed? The plan for the present is really when the prince is brewing a big change. In the past, the prince was sitting in the capital with heavy soldiers in his hands, but it was difficult to make a decision. Now the prince is empty. Is it hard to decide?"
Long Zhaohuan was stunned, and said: "Master Dao, Zhaohuan is dull, please let me know!"
Master Dao Jin laughed and said, "Since there is nothing left, why should the capital be missed? The ancient art of war records the strategy of "retreat as advance". The prince is the prince of Dakang, and now Jinling is the new capital of Dakang. If the prince is At this time, when he returned to Jinling, he was still the prince. His Highness said, right?
Therefore, the capital can no longer be retained, so why not retreat to Jinling? When you arrive in Jinling, your Highness can return to the powerful and powerful in the capital, and to the old ministers of Dakang, the so-called Jiangnan power clan. At first glance, they are just the grass-to-head team they have just set up. Their biggest support is only Lu Zheng alone. !
Lu Zheng is treacherous and treacherous. Does his Royal Highness still lack counsellors? This time Lu Zheng made Cao Weiming an imperial commissioner, his original intention was to deal with your Royal Highness!
At this time, His Royal Highness could just push the boat along the river, pretending to be defeated and retreating to Jinling, but instead killed him in front of him. You are playing games in Jinling, and Lu Zhengqiang is strong, but after all, he is a courtier. Is it possible that he really wants to rebel and become the target of the world? "
When Monk Dao Jin said this, Long Zhaohuan couldn't speak for a long while, and he suddenly thought that he was still the prince of Dakang, and he hadn't become a self-reliant emperor yet! Since he is the crown prince of Dakang, it is only natural for the capital to be unable to hold back to Jinling, so why haven't I thought about it?
Long Zhaohuan's heart gradually became alive. He pondered for a while and couldn't help saying: "But Master Dao, my father ordered me to guard the capital. If I just abandon the capital and go south, what should my father blame? Wenwubai What should the officials blame? My prince will completely lose his prestige!"
Monk Dao Jin laughed and said: "What's the problem? You only need to repair the book and give it to Liaodong, expressing your willingness to let the capital out. How can the princess's character not take down the capital? As long as Liaodong sends troops, the soldiers will come to the city, you It just happens to be able to withdraw, you go down to the south of the Yangtze River generously, even if it is Emperor Xin De, you can't say that you can't hold the capital.
After all, the capital is empty, and Yuzhou Army Cao Wei Ming has committed crimes against you everywhere. In this case, how can the capital be defended? "
Monk Dao Jin paused, and said: "If the enemy is too few, we need to step back. A step back is not to show weakness, but to accumulate strength! Your Royal Highness must know that the situation in Jiangnan is also very delicate now. Your Majesty can't let Lu Zheng go. One person is dominant, but at the moment there is no one in the whole Jiangnan who can check and balance Lu Zheng. If His Highness Jiangnan, it would happen to be able to neutralize this candidate.
Your Majesty checks and balances Lu Zheng with you, checks and balances you with Lu Zheng, checks and balances on both sides, this is the way of Emperor Xin De's imperial rule! "
There were countless thoughts in Long Zhaohuan's mind instantly, and he had to say that he was shocked by Monk Dao Jin's thoughts, but after thinking about it carefully, Monk Dao Jin's suggestion is indeed feasible.
Long Zhaohuan had no confidence in guarding the capital. Now if he can't get the support of Lianghe, the capital is an isolated city. The lone city was isolated from the outside and occupied the main military routes. There was no army in such a place, and Long Zhaohuan felt that he was more and more powerless.
After returning from Guiyin Temple, he discussed the monk's strategy with Sun Cheng and others, and all the counselors thought it was a good plan. But it needs to be very concealed, and the slightest noise must not be leaked, especially not to let people know that there is a connection between Long Zhaohuan and Long Lingxiu.
Long Zhaohuan wrote a letter that night and sent his secret spy to the north quickly. For two days and one night, news came from the north of Liaodong. Long Lingxiu said that he could go south, and received a letter from Long Lingxiu. Long Zhaohuan I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and secretly began to prepare for the return to the south.
Long Zhaohuan stayed in the capital for three days, and received a report from a secret spy, saying that about 100,000 horses from the Liaodong Army had crossed the Yanshan Mountain from the north to prepare for the south.
After receiving this news, Long Zhaohuan did not disclose it to me, but only ordered his confidant to make everyone ready immediately, ready to return south at any time!
On this day, when the Liaodong Army was intensively going south, Suddenly Long Zhaohuan received a report from the cabinet. Lianghe was commissioned, and the household secretary Cao Weiming wrote to the prince. He was willing to lead the 60,000 soldiers into the capital to assist Long Zhaohuan. Guard the capital.
When Long Zhaohuan received the news, his face instantly turned pale, and he said in a frenzy, "Good Cao Weiming, does his hypocritical behavior think I don't know? This person is sinister and cunning, and has done a lot of evil. The last time I committed the following crimes I haven't asked him to settle the account. It's okay now, but I still want to come to the capital? He is daydreaming!"
Long Zhaohuan cursed, naturally not allowed, but soon the cabinet ministers and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the East Palace. The ministers were led by Su Xinghai, and Su Xinghai said:
"His Royal Highness, it is an extraordinary time at this time. The ministers have to report by scouts. The Liaodong rebels have already crossed the Yanshan Mountain and will be able to enter the capital in ten days. The capital is already in danger. At this moment, if the capital cannot be guarded, Everyone is a sinner of Dakang!
Under such circumstances, Cao Weiming was able to put the overall situation first and personally led the army to vote. He was full of sincerity, and everyone worked together to reject the rebels in Liaodong. How could the prince reject people thousands of miles away? "
Su Xinghai said this, all the ministers of civil and military affairs agreed, Long Zhaohuan was stupid, my God, did the Liaodong Army go south with the gong and the drum? Why did everyone in the capital know the news so soon?
And why is Cao Weiming willing to enter Beijing at this time? He must also know about the Liaodong Army!
What should we do now? The Liaodong Army was introduced by Long Zhaohuan. If the Yuzhou Army was allowed to enter Beijing at this time, would he fight the Liaodong Army again?
Thinking of this, Long Zhaohuan couldn't help fighting the Cold War. He clearly remembered the last battle in Gyeonggi, it was a life of nine deaths! Long Zhaohuan really didn't want to have that kind of experience again. What could he get by keeping the capital? Nothing! Wow!
"Dear Aiqing, this matter should be considered in the long term. After all, Cao Weiming and his person have a criminal record, so this palace can't..."
Long Zhaohuan was about to use the tactic of dragging the word, and was about to delay the matter, but immediately received a report from his personal guards, saying that the Yuzhou Army had broken the east gate and entered the city directly, and the defenses of the capital had been taken by the Yuzhou Army. Fighting strength, the imperial commissioner Cao Weiming is coming to see the prince!
Long Zhaohuan was so angry that his face turned green, and he couldn't help but roared: "Cao Weiming, too! The... his courage, he... he... he broke the door without the edict. And enter, does he... want to rebel?"
Long Zhaohuan shouted and said, "Listen to me. After Cao Weiming comes, the palace will condemn him, and you must take him down for me..."
Long Zhaohuan became angry and furious, but he heard a loud shout outside. Cao Weiming strode in and said: "His Royal Highness, Cao Weiming came to defend the capital and obeyed the order of the emperor, so why did His Highness take me? ?"
Long Zhaohuan looked like a human being, tall and big, and his beard and beard all seemed to have a pedigree of a husky, looking at his face, his face looked fierce and evil, like a devil who wants to choose people and eat it. People are daunting.
Long Zhaohuan wanted to go mad, but where did he say what he said?
Cao Weiming walked to the front of Long Zhaohuan and bowed, saying: "His Royal Highness, from today onwards, the ministers will take over the defense of the capital! All soldiers in the capital listen to my orders, and all the affairs of the capital need to let me know! It was ordered by imperial order. If there is any offense, please forgive me, haha!"
Cao Weiming laughed. He looked around and saw that some of Long Zhaohuan's guards looked bad. He sighed and said, "You wait to see how much I do? Will you dare to rebel?"
Several guards looked at each other with Cao Weiming, his momentum was completely suppressed, Cao Weiming laughed and strode down the meteor. With a loud shout, he said: "The army listened to the order, paid a respect to His Royal Highness, and greeted His Royal Highness!"
Long Zhaohuan only heard a deafening roar from outside the East Palace: "Welcome to His Royal Highness, and greet His Royal Highness!"
Hearing this deafening roar, Long Zhaohuan’s heart instantly refreshed his heart. At this moment, he knew that he had completely lost control of the capital, and it became impossible for him to leave the capital...
As soon as he thought of this, he sat down sullenly, as if he was emptied...
