V3.Chapter 51

Listening to the people around you and me, Ziying's face sank and scolded, "presumptuous!"

The generals were so frightened that they shrunk their necks and hurriedly closed their mouths. They didn't dare to say half a word more.

After the emperor's honor guard passed, it was the team of the imperial court courtiers. One after another, some carriages are loaded with people and some are loaded with objects. There are hundreds or thousands of carriages. Later, there are Qiu Zhen, Zong Yuan and other Feng state ministers.

Seeing Qiu Zhen's carriage, Ziying looked positive. He immediately urged his horse to come forward, stepped in and saluted, saying, "Qiu Xiang!"

No matter how high the rank and grade of generals are, Zuo Xiang is their immediate superior. Seeing Ziying, Qiu Zhen immediately smiled. He poked his head out of the carriage and asked, "did general Ziying see the son of heaven just now?"

"I've seen it!" Ziying nodded with a smile.

"The emperor should look very happy?" Qiu Zhen said happily.

Ziying looked around, turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the bodyguard, and then looked into Qiu Zhen's carriage. Qiu Zhen was so clever that he immediately understood and waved, "general Ziying, come in and sit down."

Qiu Zhen's carriage is big enough to accommodate two people. Ziying boarded the carriage, sat down beside Qiu Zhen, and then asked in a low voice, "Qiu Xiang, one thing is unknown at the end."

"But why did the king let the emperor go back to Beijing?"

"Exactly!"

Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "the son of heaven is in Fengguo. After all, his name is not correct and his words are not smooth. It seems that the son of heaven is only the son of Fengguo. The longer he stays, the more his prestige will be damaged. Let the son of heaven return to Shangjing and restore his prestige. Then the son of heaven is still the son of heaven of people in the world, which is very beneficial to our country."

Ziying understood these principles. He said with worry: "I'm afraid that after the emperor returns to Beijing, he will not be controlled by our country!"

"In the future, our Fengjun will stay in Beijing, and the emperor can't fly out of our hands."

"But Shangjing is the place of the emperor after all. Even if our army can stay in Shangjing, it may not be as easy to control the emperor as it is now." Ziying said positively, "if there are villains around the emperor to provoke and obstruct, it will be very unfavorable to us."

"Oh? That's a problem." Qiu Zhen inhaled, nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "therefore, all the ministers in the imperial court must be our people. It's not a worry to pull out their wings and let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"Qiu Xiang means..." Ziying asked carefully.

Qiu Zhen said slowly, "it's a long way from Zhenjiang to Shangjing. It's more than a thousand miles. During this period, you will inevitably encounter jackals, tigers and leopards, horse bandits and mountain bandits. It's reasonable to have such a few accidents!"

okay! Ziying pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. He asked, "I don't know. Who did Qiu Xiang let the accident happen to?"

Qiu Zhen smiled up and said, "I have to think about it again and think it over carefully." Speaking of this, he turned his words, played quantum tassels up and down, and asked, "Ziying, are you okay with your injury?"

Ziying took a deep breath, shook her fist and hammered her breastplate. She laughed boldly and said, "I've recovered long ago. Qiu Xiang doesn't have to worry."

"That's good. The journey is long and bumpy. Don't hurt yourself." Qiu Zhen said, "when I leave the city, I have prepared a carriage. You can take it."

"Qiu Xiang is considerate and will be very grateful at the end." Ziying bows.

Ziying's words really got Qiu Zhen's heart. Of course, the son of heaven in Beijing is different from that in Zhenjiang. His own control over the son of heaven can't be as strict as that in Zhenjiang. If there are ministers in the court who secretly confuse the son of heaven, they don't know what kind of trouble will happen.

At present, a considerable part of the ministers of the imperial court are feng people, who can be trusted, while the other part are the old ministers of the imperial court. Some of them are sincerely inclined to the wind country, but some are seemingly divorced. These people are the greatest threat to the wind country.

However, Qiu Zhen can't judge who is truly obedient to the wind country and who is seemingly divorced from the wind country for a time. He still needs to consider this matter carefully.

Yin Zhun, Yin Rou, the imperial court minister and the Fengguo minister were escorted by the eagle army, left Zhenjiang, went all the way south and went straight to Beijing. From Zhenjiang to Shangjing, we have to cross most of modi and the whole andI. The road is really long.

Originally, it would take a long time on the road. Qiu Zhen specially ordered Ziying to move slowly without worrying. Ziying didn't understand what Qiu Zhen meant, but she ordered the whole army to move forward slowly according to his instructions.

On the way, the speed of the Tianying army is extremely slow. It stops and stops. At the end of the day, it often can't even walk 30 miles. Such a slow tortoise speed may not be able to reach Shangjing even half a year.

After only two days, Yan Zhun couldn't stand it. If he came out to play, it's nothing. He can also enjoy the scenery along the way. The key is that he is going home now. His heart is like an arrow. He wants to have wings on his back and fly back to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. How can he stand such a speed?

He didn't dare to find Qiu Zhen and Ziying himself, but pulled Yan Rou to strengthen his courage first.

When he saw Yin Rou, he said with a sad face: "Huangmei, is it too slow to travel like this now? If you go on like this, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a year and a half to return to Shangjing!"

Yan Rou nodded, and she also felt that the speed was surprisingly slow. The eagle army was not like marching, but more like walking out. She said, "why don't you invite Lord Qiu and ask him to urge the soldiers to speed up the March."

Yan Zhun said quickly, "what the imperial sister said is very true. I'll send someone to invite Qiu Xiang to come here." As he spoke, he nodded to the maid beside him. The maid Fu Shen answered and left quickly.

After a short time, the maid brought Qiu Zhen here. Seeing Yin Zhun and Yin Rou were there, Qiu Zhen straightened his official clothes, came forward to salute, arched his hands and said, "see your majesty, Princess and empress!"

"Qiu Aiqing is flat!" Yan Zhun subconsciously leaned forward and waved to Qiu Zhen. His attitude towards Qiu Zhen was more polite than that of the Prime Minister of the imperial court.

"What can I do for your majesty to come to me?" Qiu Zhen asked with a puzzled face.

"Oh... Well..." when Yan Zhun was thinking about how to speak, Yan Rou couldn't help but say first: "Lord Qiu, how many miles can we walk in a day now?"

Qiu Zhen replied, "tell the princess that the one-day journey is now 30 Li."

"In other words, we haven't gone out of Zhenjiang for hundreds of miles these days?" Yan Rou asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, princess."

"When can we get to Shangjing?" Yan roushen asked in a low voice.

Qiu Zhen carefully calculated and carefully replied, "if you calculate according to the journey of 30 miles a day, it will take 225 days to get to Beijing."

Yan Rou almost laughed angrily when she heard the speech. Qiu Zhen also worked out a specific date for herself. She said, "Lord Qiu, can't you speed up your journey? Does it have to take so long to reach Shangjing?"

Qiu Zhen was helpless and said, "the princess doesn't know. It's not that Weichen doesn't want to arrive in Beijing quickly, but there's really no way!"

Yan Rou asked, "why do you say that?"

Qiu Zhen said, "when we returned to Beijing this time, all the adults of the imperial court moved their families. They all carried a large number of family members and a large number of objects. There were hundreds of carriages loaded with goods alone, and most of them were expensive and heavy things. I can't afford to speed up the march!"

This was something Yin Zhun and Yin Rou had never thought of. In retrospect, as Qiu Zhen said, it was indeed a big burden for the ministers of the imperial court to drag down the speed of travel to a great extent.

Yan Zhun turned his eyes, cleared his throat and said, "Qiu Xiang, do you think it's OK to divide the soldiers escorting me into two waves, one wave escorts me and the imperial sister first, and the other wave escorts you Aiqing slowly. In this way, the family members of Aiqing will no longer drag me back to Beijing." As he spoke, he was afraid that Qiu Zhen would object, so he turned to Yan Rou and asked with a smile, "what do you say, Huangmei?"

Yan Rou nodded and thought that brother Huang was a good idea. She replied, "just follow the emperor's wishes!"

Yin Zhun meant exactly what Qiu Zhen wanted. The latter was also difficult. After pondering for a while, Fang Mian said, "since it's the intention of your majesty and the princess, I'll do it."

"I'll bother Qiu Aiqing." Seeing that Qiu Zhen agreed, Yan Zhun was overjoyed.

Qiu Zhen hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty killed the minister."

According to Yin Zhun's "intention", Qiu Zhen divided the heavenly Eagle army into two parts. One part was responsible for protecting the emperor first, and the other part was responsible for protecting the ministers in the court and their families.

The 100000 soldiers of the eagle army are not divided in half, but 90000 for one wave and 10000 for another. 90000 soldiers protect the emperor and the princess, and 10000 old, weak, sick and disabled are responsible for escorting the ministers of the imperial court.

Of course, he has his reason for this arrangement. The emperor and the princess are the top priority. In any case, there can be no mistake. It is natural to send heavy troops for protection. Compared with them, the ministers of the imperial court seem insignificant. It is better to keep 10000 soldiers with him.

Of course, if something happens in the future, no one can find him on his head and complain about his bad behavior.

Qiu Zhen and other ministers of the state of Feng followed Yin Zhun and Yin Rou to go to Beijing first.

Without the drag of those ministers and their families, the speed of the eagle army seemed to suddenly explode, from the original 30 days to 300 days, and the whole army was in a hurry.

On the way, Qiu Zhen was in his carriage. At this time, there were two people in the carriage, one was Qiu Zhen, and the other was a man in black and expressionless.

At this time, Qiu Zhen sat cross legged, while the man knelt down to one side. Qiu Zhen picked up the teacup, looked at the man at the same time, and asked slowly, "do you remember everything about you this generation?"

"Don't worry, my subordinates will keep it in mind!"

"Well! I've never let the king down when I work with a hidden arrow. I hope you won't let me down this time." Holding a teacup, Qiu Zhen slowly blew the hot tea inside, then took out a hand, took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to the man with a cold expression, and said indifferently, "this is the list. All the people in the list must not stay. Even their families must be killed. On the garrison side, the prime minister has said hello, and they will cooperate with your actions."
