Five days later,

On the way to Yuzhou,

Although Xu Wenhui has accepted it in his heart, he is still somewhat surprised!

Unexpectedly, the heir to the throne is Zhao Zongquan, the clan member of Yuzhou!

prior to,

The counterinsurgency was much smoother than expected.
The soldiers of the Imperial City Division were not very effective in combat, and they did not really want to rebel.

He was just coerced and deceived by Yan Wang Rongxian and others!

So later when I saw the Beijing army entering the city,

The Imperial City Division can be said to be on the verge of collapse, surrendering much faster than being killed!
Emperor Zhao Zhen also lived up to his reputation as a benevolent man.

He blamed himself for the rebellion.
He said that he was indecisive and did not make up his mind early.
There has been a back and forth between King Yong and King Yan, which is why it caused such serious consequences!

After placing the blame on himself, Zhao Zhen seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly became decisive!
The previous candidates for successor were mainly King Yan and King Yong, but he also inspected the conduct of some clan members!

He believed that Zhao Zongquan, a descendant of Yuzhou's clan, was generous and kind and loved the people like a son! The most like myself!
Based on the interests of the country, it is suitable to inherit the throne!

At that time, many ministers objected, thinking that Zhao Zong was all of the blood of Taizu, which was far away from the bloodline passed down by Taizong!
It is not conducive to the stability of the clan!

But Zhao Zhen seemed to be completely heartbroken by King Yong of Yan this time, and no longer valued ability and blood relationship!
I just want to find one that I think is suitable!

In addition, there are not many children in the Zhou clan, and Zhao Zongquan is already the best among the best, and Yuzhou is also close to Bianjing. If Zhao Zongquan succeeds, Zhao Zhen can still insist on making some arrangements with his body.
The other clan members are far away from Bianjing. Maybe Zhao Zhen can't hold on even before they reach Bianjing, and Zhao Zhen doesn't want to leave with regrets! I won’t be able to explain it to my ancestors then!

So, this is a rare moment of independence! Directly settled on Zhao Zongquan!

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had made up his mind, those ministers who objected stopped insisting.
After all, the clan of Da Zhou actually has little strength, and even if the clan is unstable, it is at most just a scabies disease! Not too important!

The most important thing now is to decide on the successor and ensure the orderly inheritance of the country!
Therefore, the position of Zhao Zongquan's successor was quickly determined within one day!

Next,
Naturally, it is urgent to welcome Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou!

It’s just that the selection of envoys and accompanying personnel to Yuzhou became meat and potatoes.

After all, this is basically to greet the new emperor, as long as he brings the new emperor back safely!
Not to mention it's easy, it's a great achievement, there's nothing wrong with coming back to level up!
Establishing a relationship with the new emperor in advance and becoming familiar with him will bring endless benefits to Jane in the emperor's heart!

As mentioned before, Da Zhou’s clan has little strength!
Not to mention Zhao Zongquan, who is of the Taizu bloodline,

It can be said that they are completely destitute and can only rely on the original ministers to stabilize the government!

So after another whole day of discussions, all parties came to a compromise!
In the end, it was decided that Chen Boyan, the second assistant, would be the chief envoy.
Li Ji, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Kai, the second wife of a British official, and Xu Wenhui were the deputy envoys!

There are also a number of accompanying people,
Come to Yuzhou together to welcome the future new emperor Zhao Zongquan!
Chief Assistant Han Zhang and Duke Ying and others stayed in the court to help the stubborn emperor Zhao Zhen stabilize the situation!

Along the way, Xu Wenhui was also thinking about Zhao Zongquan.

Judging from the performance in the TV series, this character is very tolerant! And his ability is not weak!

When he was an ordinary clan member, he was very cautious and did not get involved in anything!
When he became the emperor, he followed the rules and asked the Queen Mother Cao for instructions on everything. He never had any major conflicts with the Queen Mother Cao and the old forces, and it was not until the last moment that he regained power in one fell swoop!
But I'm afraid it will be more difficult for Zhao Zongquan to act this time.

In the TV series, after all, Zhao Zongquan still has Gu Tingye, a confidant who has the aura of the protagonist, and a group of Yuzhou generals who participated in the counter-rebellion!
Without the help of Gu Tingye this time, those Yuzhou generals had not contributed at all to suppressing the rebellion. Without meritorious service, how would there be any reason to promote them?

At the very least, it might not be that easy to get these Yuzhou soldiers to power quickly!

However, there are two positions that Zhao Zongquan will probably still strive for, and that is the commander and deputy commander of the Guards and Military Division!
These two positions are quite special. After all, the bodyguards’ in-laws are the closest barrier to the emperor’s safety!
Generally, the emperor's confidants will serve. If the emperor appoints a certain candidate,
Generally, ministers will not object unless there is a special reason!

For example, the emperor's brother-in-law, Shen Congxing, although his current position is not high,

But he has a special status, he is the emperor’s brother-in-law.

The previous dynasties could directly ennoble people. Although this dynasty will not directly ennoble them, there is no problem in promoting them beyond the level!

Unfortunately, Cao Guozhang died heroically this time.
The position of his bodyguard and army commander was now vacant.
Xu Wenhui's contribution this time is not small, and it is reasonable to assume that he will take command next time!
But after all, he is not familiar with Zhao Zongquan, so even if he stays in this position, it will be a temporary transition at most!

Rather than staying in this position and being an eyesore, it is better to exit neatly and find a more comfortable position!
He plans to imitate the British father-in-law, find a high-level job, and push Zhang Kai to the front of the stage!

Anyway, several Xu family generals have achieved a lot of credit this time, and they are already able to take charge of themselves!
You can also relax a little!
Xu Wenhui is thinking,

Yuan Wenshao suddenly rode up and after saluting, handed over a brocade box!
"General, this is a letter from Bianjing! Please read it!"

"Yeah! Let me take a look!"

Reaching out to take the brocade box and picking up the letter inside, Xu Wenhui opened it and saw that it was a handwritten letter from the British father-in-law!
Written above is a preliminary list of rewards based on merit. Let Xu Wenhui take a look and reply with his opinions!

Although these rewards and promotions will not be implemented until the new king succeeds to the throne, seal it!
Earn a wave of favors for the new king,
But the plan must be drawn up now! This is also what Emperor Zhao Zhen means. After all, the new monarch is not familiar with the personnel in the court. If those people do something wrong, it will not only hinder the new monarch's reputation, but also easily lose the hearts of the people!

Xu Wenhui took a general look and found that there were some individual opinions that still needed to be exchanged.

It's just that the march is not convenient now. We will arrive in Yuzhou tonight. It won't be too late to settle down in Yuzhou before replying to the letter!
Putting away the British Duke's letter, Xu Wenhui looked up and saw that Yuan Wenshao looked unnatural, with some expectations and some hesitation!
I knew that Yuan Wenshao had roughly guessed the content of the letter and wanted to see his own arrangements this time! It’s just that some may not dare or find it difficult to ask due to their own majesty!
Just asked:
"Why, are you anxious?"

"Hehe, no, no!"

"There is no best, everything must be done calmly and calmly!" Xu Wenhui pointed in the direction of Yuzhou and continued:

"Everything won't be settled until that person arrives, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wenshao immediately solemnly agreed,
"The general is right! My subordinates understand!"

In fact, Yuan Wenshao's contribution this time was not small. After all, he was the first to discover King Yan's rebellion!

He also defrauded the city gate at the first opportunity and won the precious time for the Beijing camp to enter the city. The credit is really not small!
Just now, the British Duke's letter listed Yuan Wenshao as one of the candidates for the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division!

If it succeeds, Yuan Wenshao will be considered a high-ranking general, and Zhongqin's Mansion will be able to get ahead!
Seeing that Yuan Wenshao's expression had returned to calmness, Xu Wenhui nodded. Just now he saw that Yuan Wenshao was too worried about gains and losses, so he deliberately suppressed him.
Now seeing that he had regained his senses, he reminded:
"The Imperial City Department must be rebuilt this time, and it can't be done without an old man who is familiar with the structure of the Imperial City Department! I know it well!"

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he immediately understood what Xu Wenhui meant and was very excited. However, he had just been hit by Xu Wenhui.
He didn't dare to go too far. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and saluted Xu Wenhui solemnly.
"My subordinates are where they are today thanks to the general's guidance. Without the general's cultivation, my subordinates would not be where they are today! I won't say anything more. Just watch my next actions, general!"

Xu Wenhui's expression became much kinder after hearing this, and he pressed his hands.

"Okay, I don't count as an outsider! You just need to know this in your mind. It's safer. Later, you can write a letter to your father and ask him to visit some old adults more in the past few days!"

Yuan Wenshao nodded repeatedly when he heard this. After receiving such a big benefit, he naturally had to give a little blood, at least to make everyone feel better!

was saying,

The herald came to report,
It is said that Chen Boyan, the second assistant, summoned three deputy envoys for a meeting!
Xu Wenhui gave a few more instructions to Yuan Wenshao, and then rode towards the Chinese army!

The second assistant, Chen Yanbo, is already in his early sixties, so naturally he will not ride a horse like Xu Wenhui!
Normally, he stays in the carriage!

It is estimated that we are about to arrive in Yuzhou, so we gathered everyone to discuss the rules for welcoming Zhao Zongquan!
……

at the same time,

In Bianjing City,

Thanks to the timely quelling the chaos,

Now the entire Bianjing city has returned to its former hustle and bustle.

The streets are so lively with people coming and going.
The shouting and buying sounds are endless, and it looks just like any other day!
However, some families who were involved with King Yan were in mourning!
Rewards based on merit can still wait for the new king, but it is urgent to eradicate the remnant party that rebels against the king!

After all, this is related to the stability of the country, and no one knows whether these remaining parties are still planning something behind the scenes!
The Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis was also in bad luck because of this!

According to the situation of the day,
The rebels had already mingled among the servants of the Gu family, which shows that there has been a connection between the Gu family and the rebels for a long time!

Among them, the fourth room of the Gu family has been found to have colluded with King Yan. In addition to the exchange of some financial letters, the reason why Cao Guozhang left his post to attend the memorial ceremony that day was because of the deliberate banquet held by the fourth room. Now the evidence is conclusive that the fourth room has already been with the whole family. imprison!

The remaining big house, the fifth house and some branches are also being intensively investigated!
So now the entire Gu family is imprisoned in the Hou Mansion! No contact with the outside world!
This is the face that the official family was thinking of, Gu Yankai, who had just passed away.

Give the Gu family some dignity, otherwise the entire Gu family would have been captured by now!
This has already made the world feel that a disaster may be imminent in Ningyuan Houfu!

Shengfu,

Inside Wei Ruixuan,

Lin Jinshuang was convinced of this, so she ran over to Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu early in the morning to plead for mercy, and wanted to rescue her Mo Lan!

I saw Lin Zinshuang crying and falling to the ground, kowtowing to Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu to plead for mercy.
"Master, madam! The rebellion of the Gu family has nothing to do with Mo'er! We Mo'er just got married, so we must not know anything about it! I hope the master will come forward and save our Mo'er's life! Save our Mo'er's life!" Take your life!"

Speaking of which, although Lin Jinshuang is not a good person and cannot educate her children legally, she still has no regard for her children. Now that Mo Lan is in jail and is involved in such a big matter as treason, she has not forgotten to rescue her. !
When Wang Ruofu heard this, he slapped the table, jumped up and shouted:

"Save her? That's easy for you to say! What should we do to save her? Now Mo Lan is the wife of the Gu family, and she and the Gu family will both prosper and suffer! She deserves that!
It is a serious crime of treason, and it is possible to confiscate your home and exterminate your clan!
The official family didn't include our Sheng family. The emperor's favor is already so great. You still let us get involved. What are you worried about?

I think you really want my Sheng family and the Gu family to be involved, right? "

"I definitely didn't mean this, but... Mo'er just married into the Gu family, and she really has nothing to do with the Gu family! If her life was lost because of this, wouldn't it be an injustice! Mo'er is also a bloodline of the Sheng family. Oh! My lord, I beg you! Please have mercy!”

"Stubborn! I see that you are really evil-minded. You have to drag my Sheng family into it, so you are willing to let the tired Sheng family end up like the Gu family! Come on... come on! Give me this insignificant thing. Drag me out!"

Suddenly, there was a "pop!" sound, which startled both Wang Ruofu and Lin Jinshuang!
It turned out that Sheng Hong couldn't stand it anymore, so he slapped the table hard in anger.
"Okay, shut up! Why are you making such a fuss? It's making my head big!"

Seeing his wife and concubine being restrained by him, Sheng Hong took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, looked at Lin Jinshuang with some irritation and said:

"Mo'er is my daughter. I don't want to save her, but just like what the eldest lady said, our Sheng family really can't get involved. We can't let the whole family suffer because of Mo Lan! This is a serious crime of treason after all. How can our Sheng family afford it?" Sheng Hong may have felt that his words were too ruthless, but he softened his tone and continued:

"Of course, don't be too pessimistic! I think Mo Lan may not be fine with this matter. Although the Gu family is involved, Gu Er may be fine! After all, he did some meritorious deeds at that time! Er is his wife, if Gu Er is fine, then Mo'er will be fine too!

So you better relax! hold on! Just wait! "(End of chapter)
