Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 243

[243. two forty two chapters]

There was something in her words, but Liang Dushi didn’t catch it.

There is only one reason for Shu Wenlan’s people to arrive before His Majesty’s oral order. The one that Shu Wenlan passed was a private order, not an imperial order.

As usual, when Liang Dushi received a private order from a cabinet minister, he would have to obey the order, but now that His Highness the Tenth Highness is with Lord Shen, and Lord Shu’s private order has no reasonable reason, he is not blocking people. , not to stop or not, actually ended up in a dilemma.

Shen Xi glanced at Liang Si, and also saw the trouble in his heart.

After briefly thinking about what Su Jin said, he added lightly: “Since Mr. Shu of the Cabinet has an order, it must be no trivial matter, and I hope that Liang Dushi will immediately increase the manpower, and then set up barriers, and then fight with various levels along the way. Greetings, please see Your Majesty if I have something important to do with you, and I hope that the tenth Highness will return to you later, and I hope that all levels will be released immediately.”

Liang Dushi was relieved by these words, and his heart immediately became clearer.

Yes, after the tenth highness, it was Lord Shen who sent him away. When Lord Shen goes back to see His Majesty, he will give Lord Shu an explanation. He is only a mere sixth-rank, so what kind of heart do you need to worry about?

Immediately, Zhu Nanxian and Shen Xi were invited to the carriage, and with a gesture, the officers and soldiers in the front and back were removed from the barrier.

It was noon, and although there were stations along the way, Zhu Nanxian and Shen Xi and their group did not stop at all, but went faster and faster.

Things were far worse than they thought.

Shu Wenlan didn’t act rashly. He sent people to make Liang Dushi set up barriers in such a grand manner. I am afraid that he met Zhu Yushen this morning, guessed the holy meaning, and sent his own people to warn the generals along the way.

In other words, from the perspective of Liang Si, there are two explanations for Shu Wenlan sending people to come to stop him in advance:

First, Master Shu was not in harmony with His Royal Highness Tenth Highness, so he secretly sent people to prevent him from leaving Chuanshu.

Second, the tenth highness is actually Emperor Jin’an. Lord Shu either guessed the holy will, or out of selfishness, he could never let this second majesty fly away under the eyes of Emperor Yongji.

Just now, Su Jin made some remarks, and at the same time, Shen Xi used retreat as advance, and apparently obeyed Shu Wenlan’s decision, which attracted Liang Dushi to only think about the consequences, and forgot to care about the reason why Shu Wenlan sent people here, so he only thought of one. Did not expect the second.

But Liang Dushi is not a fool, and Zuo Jun’s governor’s mansion is not a fool, even if they are blinded by Shen and Su for a while, after another hour, when they see Zhu Yushen’s personal soldiers, they will understand that they are being attacked by Zhu Nanxian, Shen Qingyue and others. Su Shiyu was deceived together.

For an hour, it was far from enough for their group to leave Jianmen Mountain.

At that time, the mountains and mountains will become their prisons.

And this is not the most terrible thing…

On the edge of the mountain, only the neighing of a horse was heard, and the carriage of Shen Xi, who was walking at the front, came to an abrupt stop. Shen Xi looked around and saw that there were no officers and soldiers guarding the road along the way. He walked to the carriage

of Zhu Nanxian and Su Jin, and lifted the curtains to enter.

The three were silent for a while.

It’s not that there is nothing to say, it’s that there are too many words and I don’t know where to start.

The words were out of place in those days, so ask a question whether it is good or bad? They know each other so well that you can tell at a glance.

After a while, it was Shen Xi who spoke first, with a somewhat difficult tone: “Back then, I was in Wuchang, and I guessed that something happened to the two of you. Before rushing back to the capital, I sent Shuxiang and Lin’er to Shuzhong. As for why they go to Cuiwei Town, it’s because Shi Yu’s former residence is there, I know she will definitely return to the former residence in the future, and if she reunites with Lin’er and Shuxiang, they will take care of each other.”

He didn’t ask Zhu Nan . Why is envy alive.

You don’t have to think about it to know that in the Sui Palace, apart from Zhu Yushen, who else could hide everyone and save Emperor Jin An from the fire in Minghua Palace.

As for why Liu Yun rescued Zhu Nanxian.

Although Shen Xi couldn’t figure it out, he also knew that with Liu Yun’s temperament, if it wasn’t necessary, he wouldn’t be bothered to tell anyone.

Su Jin asked, “Then why did you enter Sichuan in person this time?”

She naturally knew that Shen Xi was here for Zhu Lin and Shu Xiang, but this was not what she asked.

Shen Xigui is the Minister of the Household, a first-class prince. If it is an ordinary situation, he only needs to send his people to come to Shu. This time, what is the reason for him to come in person?

Shen Xi thought for a while and asked, “You are in Sichuan and Shu, but have you met Liu Yun?”

Zhu Nanxian and Su Jin looked at each other and nodded. This was also one of their confusions. Liu Yun was the cabinet. Shoufu, the minister of regent, it is said that Zhu Yushen is not in the capital, and he should be in charge of the government and government. What changes must take place so that Liu Yun can also appear in Shu-not in the name of the imperial envoy.

Shen Xi was silent for a while before he said: “This matter is a bit complicated, let’s start with the simplest.” He looked at Su Jin, “Shi Yu, do you remember how many departments are under the Court?”

Su Jin was stunned . , This question couldn’t be simpler. The Metropolitan Procuratorate set up 12 roads for the purpose of supervision, such as Huguang Road, Zhejiang Road, Shanxi Road, etc., and also set up supervisory censors in each road to patrol the country.

But when she thought about it again, the intention of Shen Xi’s question didn’t seem so obvious.

“What do you mean, Zhu Yushen wants to add a thirteenth road?”

“Yes.” Shen Xi nodded, “He wants to add Yungui Road.”

Zhu Nan frowned: “But Yungui borders Annan, and there are constant wars, and it has always been a military center. , under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor’s Office, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate adds thirteen additional departments, it will cost manpower and material resources, if there is a war, wouldn’t it be thankless?”

Shen Xi said: “This is about the purpose of Zhu Yushen’s personal expedition to Annan.”

He looked at Su Jin and Zhu Nanxian each looked at each other: “In the small country of Annan, if there is an ordinary war disaster, you can just send a general to pacify the chaos. Do you know why Zhu Yushen wants to take command and fight in person?”

Zhu Nanxian reacted: “He didn’t go to pacify the chaos, he wanted to… take the opportunity to recover Annan?”

Shen Xi nodded again: “Yes, although Annan was in civil strife last year, they didn’t actually violate the relationship with the previous year. The contract drawn up by Shi Yu means that they did not send troops to harass the Dasui border. Zhu Yushen said that they breached the contract, but they were just looking for an excuse to send troops to Annan, wanting to bring them into the Dasui territory.”

“Now, Zhu Yushen has Yungui entered Shu, presumably the war in Annan has leveled off, but in just a few days, he will give Liu Yun a speech, set Annan as Jiaozhi, and be included in Yungui Road, and from then on, it will become part of my great suijiang mountain.”

Su Jin heard Here, understand.

No wonder Liu Yun left the capital and came to Sichuan and Shu. As the censor of the left capital of the Duchayuan, under the Duchayuan, the thirteenth road was added, and the Dasui map was included in such a large area, it was necessary for him to do it by himself. It is impossible to set up administrative state capitals and supervisors. But she is still puzzled: “Since Yungui Road is established, it is not more convenient for Zhu

Yushen and Liu Yun to go to Yunnan, so why should they come to Sichuan?”

It is the gateway to the southwest.”

He paused, “As expected, setting up the thirteenth route is secondary, and more importantly, Zhu Yushen wants to set up the Southwest Headquarters in Shu, and the 100,000 army entering Sichuan from Huguang, The 200,000 troops who accompanied Zhu Yushen to go to Annan this time will be stationed in the Southwest Capital Division from now on.”

He said here, and thought about it, Zhu Yushen recaptured Annan, established the thirteenth road, and added 300,000 troops. The General Secretary of the Southwest is all to ensure that the southern region will not suffer from war and chaos. Although his courage is commendable, he is a bit desperate. After all, he has no retreat every step of the way. For example, he dispatched a 200,000-strong army to go to Annan. , The North took the opportunity to cause trouble, what should I do?

In other words, Zhu Nanxian thought, what more important decisions lie behind these decisions?

Before he could ask, Su Jin already said: “Zhu Yushen has worked so hard to ensure peace in the southern territories, but what big changes are going to happen in the court and the opposition?”

Shen Xi looked at the two of them, and nodded again: “Yes, I heard that Zhu Yushen and Liu Yun had negotiated a few years ago. No one knows about this except the cabinet.”

“They It was decided to move the capital.”

“Being arrogant and following the dynasty, the north has been in constant wars and chaos. The root cause is the lack of combat power and weak defense in the frontiers, which has led to the nomadic tribes in the north, who are red in the northwest and cool in the north. Moving to the north, the emperor will guard the gate of the country and push the defense line in the northern region further north. First, it can protect the people in the north from the suffering of war. Second, if Beiping and Yingtianfu are the bases to open up water transportation, it can be Promote production, so that the people in Huaibei and even in the north of Taihang Mountain will no longer suffer from famine.”

“But when the capital moves northward, the emperor moves northward, and it is farther from the south. Therefore, before this, the first task is to protect the south. In particular, the Lingnan area in Yungui and Guizhou is no longer suffering from war.

“This is the reason behind the recovery of Annan, the establishment of thirteen roads, and the establishment of the Southwest Headquarters, including the reason behind the implementation of the new policy in the field. ”
