Chapter 143 The Empress Dowager Who Died for the Country (22)
Lin Zhen waved his back to him, and then left the dark cell without looking back. The jailer also picked up the lamp and followed Lin Zhen out.

As the flame went away, everything around him sank into the vast darkness again.

Hu Erqi lay limp on the thatch in the iron prison, and a secret hope rose in his heart: as long as he can go back, he may not be able to reverse the situation when he comes back with his troops.As long as I can go back...

It can only be said that this idea is quite unreasonable.

But even if he couldn't make a comeback, Chu Erqi still regretted his life.If he died here, he would have handed over the position of heir that he had finally obtained to his brothers in vain, and it is estimated that he would not die in peace.

So he tossed and turned anxiously in the iron prison, recalling every word Lin Zhen said just now, trying to give himself a little confidence that he would be able to escape from the cage: since she didn't kill me, she must keep her promise...

Lin Zhen would naturally put him back.

Anyway, this guy Huerqi is not of much use, he hesitated to say some information, if he wants to use his life to make a deal with the Huns, it is estimated that the Huns will be able to get rid of this guy immediately Abandoned as waste.

It's better to put him back to add trouble to the Huns.

But it's not about putting it back now.Lin Zhen pinched the letter in his sleeve, thinking: We must pick a suitable time to throw Huerqi back to Mobei to make trouble out of it.

And this letter...

-

There was nothing else to do next, Lin Zhen waited eagerly in Zhuyue City for Li Mo to lead his troops back, and by the way wrote letters to several ministers in the court and sent them over.

Li Mo led the army back on the afternoon of the fifth day. He entered the city in a hurry, but he had an unconcealable expression on his face.

While taking off the silver helmet on his head and holding it in his hand, he reported to Lin Zhen: "Your Highness, all the main forces of the mausoleum have been dispatched, and there are very few defenders in the city. We took down the mausoleum without a single soldier." I wiped out all the Xiongnu who fled back to the city on the way. I left Lu Xi guarding the Mausoleum Mansion, so I don't think there will be any problems."

"En." Lin Zhen nodded. Since Li Mo came back so soon, she naturally wasn't worried about any changes in the Mausoleum.The key question now is how to return to Beijing to usurp the throne.

But this street is not the right place to discuss such topics.

Lin Zhen stopped Li Mo from continuing to ask questions, and said solemnly: "General Li, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go to the Zhongjun tent to talk about it."

Seeing Lin Zhen's suddenly serious expression, Li Mo realized that what Lin Zhen was going to say must be very important, so he also nodded solemnly: "Okay."

The Chinese military tents in Zhuyue City are neatly arranged. On the table in front are bamboo slips and cloth, and on the other side are neatly stacked brocade bags. After taking a look, I accidentally found a few names that seemed familiar.

He was surprised and said: "Hey... is this a letter from Shen Shangshu?"

Lin Zhen glanced at the brocade bag with Shen Ze's name on it that Li Mo said, nodded, and said, "That's right." She sat down behind the table and asked Li Mo, "Old Mrs. Zheng?" The whole family was beheaded, do you know about this?"

"what?"

Li Mo was shocked by this news, and his eyes widened in shock: "How is this possible?"

Lin Zhen shook his head regretfully, took the letter from the capital from the low table beside him, handed it to Li Mo, and said, "This is the news from the middle of the capital, take a look."

Li Mo took the letter, read the contents at a glance, and couldn't help frowning deeply: "This..."

"Jiang Xing is so ridiculous?"

Lin Zhen nodded approvingly, and said, "I suspect Jiang Xing is crazy."

In just a few months, he killed dozens of ministers of the war faction, seven or eight clans, and even killed several of his own children. It is hard to believe that Jiang Xing's spirit is still normal.

However, regardless of whether Jiang Xing is crazy or not, if he behaves like this, letting him continue to sit on the throne will only accelerate the disintegration of the Chu Dynasty.

Lin Zhen looked at Li Mo and said to him seriously: "General Li, let's lead the army back to Beijing and kick Jiang Xing off the throne."

This topic jumps around a little too fast.

Although Li Mo knew that they were going to confront the emperor when he joined Lin Zhen, he never thought that he would rebel so blatantly so soon.

He looked at the letter in his hand, thought about Jiang Xing's brutal behavior, and said, "Okay, then let's rebel."

An emperor like Jiang Xing should abdicate as soon as possible.

After confirming the matter of rebellion, Li Mo took advantage of the situation and planned to return to Beijing: "How about we go all the way south along the official road and pass Qijiang, Juancheng, and Yucheng?"

This is indeed the shortest road from Pearl City to the capital.

Lin Zhen nodded and agreed with this route: "Yes." She reminded Li Mo by the way, "It is said that Yucheng has been occupied by the Huns."

Li Mo made a confused voice again: "Huh?"

"Yucheng was occupied by the Huns?" Li Mo repeated it dully, then suddenly woke up, "...Isn't the capital city?"

"No, the Xiongnu only occupied Yucheng and nothing happened." Lin Zhen took out the letter written by Huerqi and handed it to Li Mo, "Here, this is a letter written by Huerqi to the guard of Yucheng. If what he said is true, then we will use this letter to persuade the general to withdraw from Yucheng and not to resort to violence."

"Then there's no problem." Li Mo carefully put the letter on the table, and continued to think, "Over there in the capital... the garrison in Beijing should not be underestimated. If you want to bring troops into the capital, it is best We need to deal with them first..."

Lin Zhen silently picked up two brocade bags from the table and handed them to Li Mo.

Li Mo took it over and saw that the name of Jing Zhaoyin Han Zheng was written on the yellow brocade bag, and then found the letter inside. The content was roughly to surrender to Jiang Wei. .

This is indeed a good help.

Li Mo looked at another azure brocade bag, which was signed by Cao Yan, the commander of the imperial guards in the capital. Looking at the contents of the letter, it became more straightforward—are you going to rebel?No matter who wants to force the palace to rebel, he will definitely bring the Imperial Guards from Beijing to help out!
Li Mo, who had dealt with Cao Yan several times, sighed slightly: It seems that the capital is also in dire straits.It's not easy to force Cao Yan's thick eyebrows and big eyes to turn his back on him.

"In this case, we can go all the way back to Beijing and let His Majesty abdicate." Li Mo put down the letters in his hand, deeply feeling that he was useless, "His Highness has already arranged everything, and the throne is just around the corner what!"
