Chapter 156 Preparation (Please recommend, please collect, please subscribe)

The emperor of Yanjing received Wen Ruyan's letter and was furious after reading it. He ordered Gao Yunxing, the governor of Jinling, to leave immediately and lead Jinling troops to Yangzhou. He must capture Yuan Qingyun, the governor of Yangzhou alive.

Early the next morning, Wen Ruyan received the secret decree from Yanjing. After reading it, he sighed softly.

Although he had expected this a long time ago, when the thing actually happened, he still felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

Yangzhou is not far from the border of Dazhou. If there is a war here, it will easily attract the prying eyes of Chu State. Moreover, Yuan Qingyun, the governor of Yangzhou, now holds the power of soldiers and horses. When the time comes, there will be a real fight. I don’t know how many people Innocent people will be hurt.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruyan felt extremely uncomfortable, but helplessness is nothing but helplessness, and now the only way to solve the troubles in Yangzhou City, he does not believe that his father just issued a decree, that the man who holds the military power Yuan Qingyun will be caught without a fight!
The people who were beaten and wounded were all Da Zhou soldiers, and it seemed that they could only rely on themselves to find a way to minimize the loss.

Wanting to understand this, Wen Ruyan went out to look for Pan Yu.

After Pan Yu brought him back to the Governor's Mansion, Wen Ruyan said directly to Wei Changkong, "The troops from Jinling will arrive here soon."

Upon hearing this, Governor Wei immediately asked, "Did your Highness send a letter to His Majesty?"

Wen Ruyan nodded.

Seeing that Wei Changkong burst into tears, he choked up and said, "The old minister finally waited until this day!"

Wen Ruyan glanced at him indifferently, and said calmly: "Okay, don't talk about such useless nonsense, although Jinling is only a day away from here, Gao Yunxing still needs to make some preparations first, and then there will be no movement when the army sets off." It can't be too big, otherwise it will directly attract Yuan Qingyun's attention. I think their journey will be much slower. If there is no accident, they should arrive here tomorrow night. This king is looking for you today because he has other things to do ask you."

When Governor Wei heard Wen Ruyan talking so eloquently, a look of surprise appeared on his face, which was choked up.

Is this what the dandy prince said?

But I can only think about it in my heart. Naturally, I can't say this. I saw him stunned for a moment, then he reacted, and then asked in puzzlement: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Last time I heard you say that there are some soldiers who are loyal to you in the Yangzhou Patrol Battalion, right?"

Master Wei nodded slightly.

"You find a way to inform them, let them follow my orders, I need them to do something for me!" Wen Ruyan said lightly.

Master Wei asked with a puzzled look: "I don't know what His Highness needs them to do?"

Wen Ruyan didn't hide anything, and directly told him about her plan.

After hearing what he said, Wei Changkong also lowered his head for a moment of thought, and then said: "Your Highness, this is a good idea, and it is not difficult to get them to obey your orders. The old minister only needs to write a letter, and His Highness will hand it over to them when the time comes." That's enough, they have followed me for many years, so they will naturally recognize my handwriting."

"Okay, you can sketch it now, we don't have much time left."

It happened that the three of them were in Wei Changkong's study at the moment, and Wei Changkong didn't hesitate at all, he went directly behind the desk and started working.

Wen Ruyan thought carefully for a while, then turned to Pan Yu and said, "Master Pan, there is one thing I need you to do tomorrow night!"

Pan Yu was worrying about not being able to find a chance to make meritorious deeds. Hearing Wen Ruyan's words, he immediately frowned, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, just give orders."

Wen Ruyan said directly: "I need you to find an excuse tomorrow night to invite all the officials involved in the sale of officials to your house, and then I will take the opportunity to control them all. Can you do this?" ?”

Pan Yu was overjoyed when he heard his words, this is a great credit!

He quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, it is not difficult to invite those officials to come over tomorrow under the pretext of celebrating my old mother's birthday. Now that I am among them, it is still a bit thin-skinned." !"

Wen Ruyan nodded.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, Wei Changkong walked over with an envelope and a note, and saw that the names of more than a dozen people were densely written on the note.

After Governor Wei handed the two items to Wen Ruyan, he said, "Your Highness, the names recorded on this note are those soldiers who are loyal to me. Don't worry, Your Highness, these people are absolutely reliable. As for In this envelope, I will explain some things to them, and His Highness can find a way to hand it over to them."

After Wen Ruyan took it, she didn't speak for a long time, but kept thinking about things.

Seeing that he was silent, Wei Changkong suddenly and gently pulled Pan Yu aside.

Pan Yu looked at him in confusion and said in a low voice, "What orders does Master Wei have?"

Wei Changkong shook his head lightly, and then asked softly, "How did you get to stand on His Highness's side?"

Governor Wei has been curious about this matter for a long time. How could a corrupt official who was pushed on the stage suddenly turn against His Highness Prince Jing.

Pan Yu carefully glanced at the silent Wen Ruyan, and then told Wei Changkong exactly what happened with an embarrassing face.

If it was the past, he would naturally not be able to pay attention to Governor Wei. Although he is a big official in the frontier, he has been emptied after all and has no real power in his hands.But now he doesn't dare to ignore Governor Wei anymore, after all, both of them are on the side of His Highness Prince Jing at the same time. In terms of official position, he is much higher than him.

After Wei Changkong finished listening to him carefully, a hint of shock appeared on his face.

How could His Highness Prince Jing set up such a situation?Let a person who has been in the officialdom for many years be fooled like this?

Seeing his disbelief, Pan Yu said softly again: "If you hadn't pointed out His Highness's identity, I wouldn't have believed it. The rumors about His Highness and Yanjing City are quite different."

Wei Changkong was taken aback.

But after a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Although I don't know why His Highness Prince Jing seems to be a different person, but now that his methods are so clever, doesn't that also mean that the chances of winning have increased by a little bit?

Wen Ruyan, who was thinking about something, suddenly turned her head and noticed the smile on Wei Changkong's face, and immediately frowned and asked, "Master Wei is smiling?"

Wei Changkong hurriedly clasped his fists and replied, "Now that Your Highness has the winning ticket, the old minister is naturally happy."

Wen Ruyan was already bored because of what happened next, but when he heard his words, his face turned cold.

"What can you be happy about?"

Seeing his sudden change of face, Wei Changkong's heart trembled. Before he could speak, Wen Ruyan said coldly, "The winning ticket is in your hands? Who told you?"

"This old minister"

Seeing his faltering appearance, Wen Ruyan looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Master Wei, do you know how close Yangzhou is to Pingyang Pass?"

"Do you know that if there is a fight tomorrow night, it will be a fratricide between the soldiers of the Great Zhou?"

"Do you know how many people will suffer from this innocent disaster tomorrow night?"

"If you hadn't lost the soldier talisman carelessly, how could you have caused such trouble?"

Wen Ruyan's sentence after sentence pierced deeply into Wei Changkong's heart like a sword.

Seeing that his old face was flushed, he immediately knelt down on the ground and lowered his head, saying: "The old minister is guilty!"
