Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 242: The power collapsed and the king entered Jinyong City
When a carefully prepared chess game is broken quickly, others will not think about the reason behind it. Their first impression is that the person who set up the chess game is really incompetent, which is why it was broken so quickly.Anyone who challenges foreign masters at this level will underestimate him.

In this way, the momentum will be weakened a lot, and it will also become a burden for Jiang Yi when he adds extra pressure.

Therefore, the best choice is undoubtedly to retreat again, at least until Chen Zhi arrives in Linyi before making a decision.

But when Jiang Yi heard this, he was silent for a moment, but shook his head, and said: "Since we are already on the road, there is no reason to back down, not to mention that I have obtained a request for help when I go north this time. Are you alive? I can’t retreat when it comes to the Huns!”

Jiang Hu understood his young master's plan, sighed secretly in his heart, and agreed.

Just like that, the convoy headed north.

Time passed, and when evening fell, Chen Zhi and his team stopped in a village.

"We'll rest here for one night. We'll arrive in Linyi before noon tomorrow." Zuo Qing made an introduction immediately, and then everyone in the convoy dispersed.

This village is not big, but it is not far from the official road. There are countless travelers and businessmen coming and going, so there is no shortage of inns. Many households even build and vacate a few rooms in their homes to accommodate the people who come and go every year. At most, they use it to provide accommodation to others and earn some money.

Because of the Xingtan Forum, Wang Jiawen Club, etc., there have been so many people traveling from north to south recently that the town has already been overcrowded. When Chen Zhi and the others arrived, there were no vacant guest rooms at all.

However, as soon as Chen Zhi and others announced their home, many people took the initiative to give up their rooms. Chen Zhi and others couldn't be too shameless. After some negotiation, they took two rooms and planned to sleep together. After staying in one room for one night, we hit the road again.

Afterwards, there was an endless stream of visits, and by the time the entertainment was over, it was already late at night.

"It's really not a good thing to have too much fame. Brother Chen, I finally understand why you practiced martial arts diligently and worked hard before setting off. It turned out to be just to cope with such a scene."

When he returned to the room, Liu Gang breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the seat. If the elders of the Liu family saw it, they would inevitably scold him and say that he had no manners.

However, Liu Gang was really tired at this time, because those who came to visit were more chaotic than Kaiyang County, and it took a lot of energy to deal with and block them.

"Brother Liu, what you say is just incidental. Brother Chen is the master. You see that he is still calm and relaxed, but you have become like this. I think you should really pick a time to exercise your muscles and bones." Yes." Lu Ying shook his head slightly, and while speaking, he knelt down and sat down with a standard posture, but if someone stood behind him, he could see that his clothes were already soaked in sweat.

Chen Zhi and others also sat down. They prepared to say something and then went to sleep. The newly joined Zuo Qing, Zhou Yan and Lu Jing were not here.

It's just that before he could speak, there was a hasty knock on the door.

Before Chen Zhi and others could react, the door was pushed open and someone came in.

Everyone followed the sound and recognized Zhao Xing's servant, and immediately became suspicious, because this person used to be quite stable, but now he not only pushed the door recklessly, but also had a panicked look on his face. Without saying hello, he came to Zhao Xing and handed him a note.

Zhao Xing took it with a puzzled expression, and when he took it away, his expression changed immediately, and even cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.

The others looked at him with puzzlement. Normally, Zhao Xing would never change his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but now his expression changed dramatically because of a piece of paper. The reason for this is curious.

However, if Zhao Xing didn't tell him, it would be hard for others to ask.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing didn't mean to hide it. He directly handed the straight jump to Chen Zhi, then looked at the person solemnly and whispered: "Everyone, the King of Donghai has gone to Jinyong City."

"What Jin Yong City?" Liu Gang was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his heart shivered, then his eyes widened, and finally he took a breath and froze on the spot.

The other people's reactions were not as strong as his, but their expressions changed drastically. Even Chen Zhi frowned after reading the content on the note and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Jinyong City is a small town in the corner of Luoyang, the capital of the empire. There was nothing special about it, but now most of the royal families who have lost their power will be moved to live in it. Up to now, there are still several concubines and queen mothers living in it, the most famous of which is, It was the deposed prince Liu Qi.

The deposed prince was the eldest son of the late emperor. He was later deposed and renamed the King of Hejian. However, he never returned to his fiefdom and always lived in Jinyong City.

Therefore, this Jinyong City is the cold palace of the royal family.

The King of Donghai is the son of Xuanwu, a member of the royal family with roots in Miaohong. He entered Jinyong City. The political significance of this is self-evident.

When Tao Ya recovered from his surprise, he immediately lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Why did the King of Donghai suddenly enter Jinyong City? Something is wrong. He, the King of Donghai, has all the power! This news is true Or is it fake?"

Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "I only have this note. When I left Beijing, I made an agreement with my family that if there is any big event, I will send news as soon as possible, but the detailed content will definitely not be written on it to prevent Judging from the markings in the letter, it was indeed sent through channels at home and is not fake."

"This kind of news is enough to shock the court. I don't know what it means." Even a person like Lu Ying who didn't have much thought about his career, after hearing the news, showed a look of worry.Tao Ya frowned and said: "All kinds of news during this period can be described as turbulent. First, Marquis Wuxiang led the army to go north, and then he was suddenly dismissed. After such news, it’s still the same thing, alas…”

But Liu Gang suddenly said: "Since the King of the East China Sea entered Jinyong City after the Marquis of Wuxiang returned to the court, is there any connection between these two events? Brother Zhao, I don't know if there is any connection with the Marquis of Wuxiang in your news. Any relevant news?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed, and their eyes fell on Zhao Xing. The latter could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and said: "These are just guesses. If there is any clue, I really can't say. Come on, now we can only continue to wait for news."

Chen Zhi asked at this time: "Brother Zhao, are you going back?"

Zhao Xing shook his head, but still smiled bitterly and said: "This is just a notification to let me know. Let me pay attention here. Whether I go or not has no impact on the overall situation. There is no need to go back."

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "That's it. The affairs of the court are far away, and have little to do with us. Don't worry about it. You should think about the upcoming literary conference. This is the most urgent task." ah."

He saw a few people frowning, so he spoke to comfort them.

"Actually, I have learned something about the situation recently. Before King Donghai, there were two princes who were in power. Now one has returned to his fiefdom and the other is also in Jinyong City. However, I have no experience in Pengcheng with such changes in the court. Notice, it can be seen that the change of the imperial court will not affect the local area."

The prince mentioned in Chen Zhi's words was not fabricated, and the others were a little relieved when they heard it.

However, Chen Zhi, who said these words, did not feel relaxed.

"The current changes can only be regarded as political changes. On the surface, they will not affect local areas. However, changes in the court will inevitably bring about policy iterations. This impact will not appear immediately, but it will eventually affect all parts of the regime."

After everyone went to bed and blew out the lights, Chen Zhi was still thinking about the matter.

"From what I know so far, there have been several political changes in the past few years. This is not a good momentum. Now it is just a political subversion. If it develops into a military struggle in the future, it will not be fun. If something goes wrong, it may cause turmoil and lead to serious consequences.”

With this in mind, he fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, when the convoy was seen off by people in the town and set off again, the interest of the people in the car had diminished a bit, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Zhou Yan and Lu Jing didn't know why, and they wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to speak rashly because they didn't have enough connections.

In this atmosphere, the convoy finally entered Linyi.

Once here, the villages and towns along the way seem to be in order, and even the farmers working in the fields seem to be much calmer than other places.

"As expected of the foundation of the Wang family, it already has a Jiangnan atmosphere."

Seeing such a scene, the dignified atmosphere in the car faded a bit, and Lu Ying began to criticize it even more.

As we walked forward, the crowds also became denser, even more so than in Kaiyang County, but there was no such lively atmosphere, but a little more indifferent, and the pedestrians along the way were even more unhurried.

In addition, there are quite a few people who have practiced kung fu walking on the street.

"I'm afraid these people are knight-errants, aren't they? The descendants of the Mohist branch." What Liu Gang noticed was these people who had practiced, because in Kaiyang County, there are almost no such people, but there are many gathered here.

Zuo Qing explained next to him: "Because the Wang family has many advocates, the atmosphere in the territory is relaxed, and these kinds of rangers often come. In addition, there is a cultural meeting now, so of course they will not miss the event."

"Interesting, this is an eye-opener." Hearing this, Liu Gang showed interest.

But before the convoy entered Linyi City, there was a sudden commotion behind the convoy, and a group of people were seen swarming over. As they walked, they shouted: "Lost! Defeated! That Young Master Jiang Yi, two games The losing streak can no longer block the way of the little prince of the Huns, let’s get out of the way, and the little prince is gone!”

This group of people came like a strong wind, passing by in the blink of an eye, and their shouts spread into the city, making Tao Ya and others look at each other.

"Jiang Yi, defeated?"

　Post first and then change.
