V3.Chapter 38

The Imperial Palace in Beijing is not suitable for wandering. Its structure is too complex and its area is too wide. Even if you only want to go through the first floor, it will take a whole day.

Tang Yin, accompanied by Wu Ying, a San a Si, Yin LAN, Cheng Jin and others, went up the mountain. On the way, he often met palace maids passing by. Tang Yin asked Wu Ying, "how many people are there in the palace now?"

Wu Ying was stunned and hurriedly took out a pamphlet. After looking through it for a while, she said, "Your Majesty, there are more than 2300 palace maids in the palace, and there were nearly 10000 bodyguards before, but those are all Sichuan people, and they have been withdrawn with the Sichuan army."

Tang Yin nodded. To take care of such a large palace, the number of palace maids must be indispensable. He said: "the army directly under the central government has assigned a regiment to serve as the Imperial Palace bodyguard for the time being. We have just accepted Shangjing, and the imperial palace can't have trouble anyway."

"Yes, your majesty, I will do it well at the end." Wu Ying arched her hand and said.

Tang Yin and his party walked from the first floor of the palace to the top floor of the palace. At the commanding height of the top floor, there is also a tall platform called qingtiantai.

You can get a panoramic view of almost the whole city of Kyoto by climbing on the platform of Optimus and looking down. Tang Yin also stood on the platform for the first time. She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and said to herself, "it's really 'going to be the top of the mountain and see the small mountains'

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Wu Ying came forward and asked in a low voice, "king, is the wind country really moving its capital to Shangjing?"

Tang Yin nodded and said, "of course! Since the emperor wants to return to Shangjing, the capital of Fengguo will naturally move to Shangjing. This is the capital of the Empire and will be the capital of Fengguo in the future."

Hearing this, they all took a breath in their hearts. Not because of the move of the capital, but because of Tang Yin's words, which obviously means to replace it.

Wu Ying frowned and said, "but China has just moved its capital to Zhenjiang. It has been a waste of people and money, and it has not been completely stable until now. At this time, if we move the capital to Beijing, will... What trouble happen? In addition, south of Beijing is the territory of the state of Sichuan, which is adjacent to the state of Sichuan. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to set the capital here. Please think twice."

Tang Yin smiled calmly and said, "it is precisely because Shangjing is located on the border of FengChuan that I consider moving my capital to Shangjing. The capital is located in the important place of the country, and will inevitably accumulate heavy troops. In this way, we can prevent the Sichuan army from going north and facilitate our army to invade Sichuan at any time. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone."

After a while, he said with a smile: "of course, risks and opportunities coexist, and setting the capital in Beijing will also create a tense atmosphere, so that those ministers in the DPRK will not be too tired."

Wuying was worried, but when Tang Yin insisted, she didn't say anything more.

Seeing that their conversation had come to an end, Yin LAN immediately came forward and said with a smile: "king, why don't we go back to the post station today and stay in the palace."

After saying that, seeing that the people around looked at themselves with different eyes, Yin LAN quickly explained: "such a big palace is empty. Besides, the environment here is much better than that of the post station. The king should live here."

All the people are sad and laughing at the words. The palace is where you can live if you want. Even if it is empty and your side has accepted Shangjing now, the minimum avoidance of suspicion still needs to be observed.

Tang Yin said calmly, "the condition of the post station is worse than that of the military camp. You can live in the military camp. Can't you still live in the post station?"

Yin LAN shrunk her neck when she was scolded and didn't dare to say more.

Strolling in the palace until the evening, Tang Yin and his party left the palace and returned to the post station. On the way back to the post station, Tang Yin deliberately picked up the curtains of the carriage and looked out.

Now Shangjing and when he first came to Beijing, there was almost no change. There was still so much bustling and bustling. There were still people coming and going and traffic was heavy.

Although Shangjing has changed its masters successively in recent years, and there have been continuous wars, it is the capital of the country after all. No matter the original Zhenjun army or the later Sichuan army, it will converge a lot when ruling Shangjing, and the people in Shangjing have not been affected by the disaster of war.

Having nothing to say along the way, Tang Yin returned to the post station by car and stayed in Shangjing for the time being. Just took over Shangjing and had to deal with a lot of affairs. Tang Yin couldn't be busy alone. He sent a message to Zhenjiang and urgently transferred Shangguan Yuanji to Beijing.

On the third day of Tang Yin's stay in Beijing, a shocking news suddenly came.

At noon that day, Tang Yin took a walk in the garden of the post station after lunch. At this time, Lotte and Aijia ran over angrily.

Tang Yin was still calm. When they came near, they asked slowly, "what happened, so flustered?"

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!" Said Edgar first.

"What's up?" Tang Yin's eyes turned around on the faces of Lotte and Aijia.

"According to the news just received, the king of Sichuan died on his way home." Lotte stepped forward and whispered in Tang Yin's ear.

"What?" Tang Yin was shocked when he heard the speech. Did Xiao Xuan die? But is it really the case? Is Xiao Xuan really dead? He frowned and asked, "is the news reliable?"

"Your Majesty, absolutely reliable." Aijia said, "now the Sichuan army is dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and white flags have been raised in the military camp. It is reported that the cry of the Sichuan army can be heard outside the camp."

Lotte nodded again and again to show that Edgar was right. Xiao Xuan was really dead... Tang Yin couldn't react to the sudden news. He frowned, took two steps back, walked back and forth with his hands on his back.

He didn't speak, the scene was silent, and people were staring at him. I don't know how long later, Tang Yin suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, "check! Send someone to check immediately. We must find out whether Xiao Xuan is really dead or pretending to be dead!"

Lotte and Aijia looked at each other, and then they bowed their hands and said, "yes, king!" With that, they ran out of the post station like smoke.

Tang Yin's eyes kept turning, suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and said, "ah San!"

"My subordinates are here!" "Now send someone to tell Mu Qing not to go back to Zhenjiang and lead the army to Beijing immediately!" Tang Yin said, "also, Sanshui army and Feiyu army will come with the plain army."

"Yes! King!" Ah San promised and ran out quickly.

At this time, Tang Yin's mood couldn't help throbbing. If Xiao Xuan really died, the state of Sichuan will be in chaos in the near future. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his own side. I'm afraid Xiao Xuan pretended to die and deliberately designed to attract his own side.

In the next few days, the report of Fengguo spread to Beijing like a horse lantern. Every message said that Xiao Xuan had indeed died of illness, which was absolutely true. Even the spies of Feng Kingdom lurking in Zhaoyang, the capital of Sichuan, sent back a message that Zhaoyang had received an urgent letter about the death of the king of Sichuan. Now the government and the public are in a panic.

Through these successive messages, Tang Yin can basically confirm that Xiao Xuan has indeed died of illness. If he plays, it is impossible for the whole country to play, and the cost is too high. Tang Yin has made up his mind that he can't miss this opportunity anyway.

A few days later, the plain army, Sanshui army and Feiyu army led by Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and Qingyu arrived in Beijing overnight. At present, the total strength of the three armed forces is close to 300000, plus the troops directly under Tang Yin, with a total strength of 400000.

After seeing Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and Qingyu in the lobby of the post station, Tang Yin first asked, "have you heard about Xiao Xuan's death?"

The three looked at each other, nodded together and said, "report back to the king. The last general has heard."

"What do you think?"

"The last general... Is not sure whether it is true or false." Xiao MuQing was full of doubts and said, "the king of Sichuan has always been in good health. How can he suddenly die of illness? King, I think there may be fraud."

Others may not see it, but Tang Yin may see that Xiao Xuan is not in good health and has long been overdrawn. This time, he trekked to Shenchi and was cheated to go to Beijing by his own design. He held his fire in his heart and was very angry. It is not impossible to die suddenly.

Like a mirror in his heart, he didn't say it on his mouth. He asked, "Mu Qing, if Xiao Xuan is cheating, what's his purpose?"

"This......" Xiao MuQing smiled bitterly and shook his head, say: "This is the most strange place. The end general really can't find what benefit the king of Sichuan can do to the state of Sichuan. It's reasonable to say that if the king of Sichuan pretends to die, his purpose should be to lead our country to send troops. The state of Sichuan should ambush in advance to give our army a head-on blow, but now Shenchi is on the side of our wind country. Xiao Xuan should be reluctant to go to war with our country, he said How can we lead our army to attack by pretending to die? I really don't understand. "

Tang Yin snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "you're right. Given the current situation, it's too late for Sichuan to avoid war, how can it take the initiative to lead our army to attack? Therefore, I judge that Xiao Xuan is really ill. Now it's a great opportunity for our country to send troops!"

Xiao MuQing took a breath, subconsciously looked at Liang Qi and Qingyu, and silently asked him what they meant.

Liang Qi and Qingyu also frowned tightly. After a while, Qingyu asked, "when does the king plan to send troops? How many troops and horses will he mobilize? Will he go straight to the Yellow Dragon and forge ahead, or will he encroach on the land?"

Tang Yin smiled, stood up, and then raised his head to the left and right ah San and ah Si. They immediately took a roll of long canvas and spread it on the ground. People looked down and looked at it. It turned out to be a map of the north of Sichuan.

Looking around at the crowd, Tang Yin went directly to the map, took out his sword, pointed to the map and said, "here! I want Shuangtang County in Sichuan!"

Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and Qingyu subconsciously stood up and looked down at the place Tang Yin pointed out.
