Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

Chapter 216 Feng Tian Jing Difficult!Northern Expedition

In the early morning, many people in Lin'an City were still asleep, but Li Changshou had already sat in the office of the Jiedu envoy.

In addition, the important ministers and aides of the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River have all been present.

The three sheriffs of Lin'an Mansion, Gusu Mansion, and Yangzhou Mansion, the heads of aristocratic families from all over the country, and Zuo Zhixiong, the admiral of Jiangdong Daying, waited for a long time.

Just last night, they actually got a tip.

So they rushed over before dawn, and the sheriffs of Yangzhou Mansion and Gusu Mansion rushed over even more quickly, with steam still rising from their foreheads, which showed how urgent the matter was.

"Your Highness, urgent report from the capital!"

Just as Li Changshou was seated, another hurried voice came from outside the door.

A spy from the imperial city rushed in, knelt down on one knee, holding a secret report in his hand, "Your Highness, this is an urgent report from the capital!"

Everyone's faces were serious when they heard this, and Ling Wei was also in the ranks, his eyes were somewhat thoughtful.

"Bring it up!"

No joy or anger could be seen on Li Changshou's face, and his calm look somewhat gave everyone a bit of confidence.

"promise!"

When the urgent report was delivered to Li Changshou and opened for a look, the contents inside did not surprise him too much, because most of the information had already been known through the system in advance, and this urgent report was at best a confirmation.

But the rest of the people present were not him, they were all waiting for news at this moment.

"Your Highness, what happened in the capital?"

In fact, more or less people have heard some news, but many of them dare not ask for confirmation.

After reading the content of the urgent report, Li Changshou said directly, "You all have a look."

He ordered people to take down the urgent report from the capital, and Zuo Zhixiong, who was the first to bear the brunt, stepped forward and received the urgent report, and after reading the contents, he became furious, and said in a low voice on the spot, "Your Highness! The last general invites you to fight!"

He is a warrior, he doesn't have so many twists and turns, so he asks for a fight on the spot!

"General Zuo, be safe and don't be impatient."

Li Changshou raised his hand, and motioned for others to take a look.

Ling Wei stepped forward and took the urgent report. Everyone who read it frowned, but couldn't say much.

According to his status, Ling Wei was just a lieutenant general who had to stand aside.

"Shannan Jiedu envoy Guo Peng murdered the king and conspired against the emperor. The evidence is conclusive. It has also been proved that the crown prince disregarded human relations and murdered his father to usurp the throne!"

After reading the content of the urgent report, Xiao Ling Wei couldn't help but gasped no matter how calm he was, and when he said the content, many people present took a breath.

"Is the news true?"

"This is a message from the Imperial City Secretary, and it shouldn't take long for the world to know."

Ling Wei took the initiative to explain, and after thinking about it, he said, "My lords, Ling is a teacher of the Tianji Building, and the Tianji Building did find some sources of information a while ago, and now it corresponds to the news investigated by the Imperial City Division. It is absolutely correct!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on one knee like Zuo Zhixiong, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, now is the time for you to return to King Jingqin!"

All dynasties and dynasties have paid attention to a righteous name!
The crown prince's usurping the throne was already unstable, but now he connives at his subordinates' regicide and kills his father Emperor Qianming.

Such a rebellious act cannot be said to be a fatal mistake, but in the current situation, it has become the last straw that broke the camel's back!
You can kill the king!
It's okay to kill the father and usurp the throne!

Anyway, there have been many people who have dared to do this since ancient times.

But the problem is that the crown prince doesn't have much foundation now, and all depends on Guo Peng, the envoy of Shannan Jiedu!
Even the important ministers of the Qing school who originally supported him have long been divorced from their virtues. What's more, this urgent report not only said that Emperor Qianming was killed, but also some important officials in the court were persuaded by death, and finally ended up pushing out of the Meridian Gate one by one. The fate of beheading.

"Your Highness, there is news from the capital that although it is claimed that the imperial concubine died of a serious illness, the news should be false. The imperial concubine is still imprisoned in the palace!"

Everyone knew that the noble concubine was Li Changshou's mother and concubine. When they learned that the crown prince had usurped the throne, there had been no movement so far. Everyone was secretly guessing whether it was because they were afraid of raising troops to anger the crown prince, which would cause the noble concubine to encounter accidents.

Now the whole world is spreading the news that the imperial concubine died of a serious illness.

At this moment, when they learned that the imperial concubine was not dead, but was under house arrest in the palace, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Here, if His Highness and concubine are imprisoned in the palace, wouldn't it be if His Highness raises troops at this moment?"

Zhang Junshou quickly shrank his neck, he couldn't guess what Li Changshou was thinking.

With so many people present, even Guan Peng couldn't figure it out, but he continued, "Your Highness! According to the secret investigation by the brothers of the Imperial City Department of the capital, the rebellious minister Guo Peng once asked the crown prince for the imperial concubine!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

But it doesn't stop there!
Guan Peng continued, "But the crown prince did not agree, and at the same time pretended to announce that the imperial concubine had died of illness, but secretly imprisoned the imperial concubine in the palace, and also sent people to spread rumors around the capital, saying that he wanted to choose a concubine for himself. , and claimed to have found a woman who looked very similar to the imperial concubine and brought her into the palace, and was going to be named empress!"

Not to mention the changes in the faces of Zhang Junshou and others, even Zuo Zhixiong and Ling Wei showed anger!

Everyone is not stupid, and they immediately understood after hearing about it.

Ling Wei snorted angrily on the spot, "Does he think that everyone in the world is a fool? Such a trick of deceiving the world doesn't stand up to scrutiny!"

Everyone has heard that the noble concubine is the first-class beauty in the world. Although no one has seen it, they can imagine that they can monopolize the harem for so many years, but they did not expect that now Guo Peng and the prince who killed his father and usurped the throne would both The idea is on the imperial concubine?

Especially the Crown Prince Li Cheng, who actually wanted to conceal the truth and make the former emperor's noble concubine the empress?

"Your Highness! The crown prince has no virtue! He even committed such a rebellious act as murdering his father. How could the world fall into the hands of such a man who is not as good as a beast!"

Zuo Zhixiong called for battle again, "The last general is willing to lead [-] troops and head to the capital immediately!"

"No! The imperial concubine is still in the hands of the opponent, if His Highness raises an army, won't it put the empress in danger?"

Zhang Junshou directly objected.

Li Changshou didn't say a word, he glanced at Guan Peng.

Xin Dao said that this boy had nothing to mention about the imperial concubine, if he hadn't mentioned the imperial concubine, now he could logically agree to Zuo Zhixiong's request to send troops, and follow the trend.

Now it makes him uncomfortable to speak out, after all, the imperial concubine is his mother concubine, so could it be possible to go straight to the capital regardless of the safety of the mother concubine?
"This……"

Although Zuo Zhixiong is upright, he also understands that this matter is indeed difficult to choose.

"Your Highness, the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety has existed since ancient times, and we should continue to suffer from it!"

Ling Wei clasped his fists again, of course he has his own selfish intentions, if the prince Li Cheng is allowed to secure the throne, it will be impossible to rehabilitate the entire Huo family!
Especially Guo Peng, the chief culprit who harmed the Huo family back then, his eyeballs would bleed when he thought of this person, Ling Wei. The evidences found over the years and those given to him by Li Changshou all proved what kind of role Guo Peng played in it back then. Role.

"Think twice, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

For a time, everyone's attitudes were divided into two factions.

People like Zhang Junshou are more conservative, while Ling Wei advocates raising troops to serve the king.

Li Changshou didn't say a word, he seemed to be weighing and entangled, and everyone knew that one wrong step in this kind of thing would be irreversible, and once an army was raised, there would be no turning back!

At this moment, Li Changshou calculated that it was almost time.

Sure enough, the spies of the Imperial City Division reappeared.

"Report!"

"Your Highness! The three envoys of Hexi, Jiannan, and Anxi sent troops to attack the capital a few days ago!"

As soon as the news came out, the people present gasped again.

They expected this scene to happen, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.

"The news is true?"

"Absolutely true! Moreover, the three Jiedu envoys have successively issued notices, saying that the crown prince is not of the blood of the first emperor, and is not qualified to ascend the throne as the emperor and inherit the great line!"

The Imperial City Division has always been known for its intelligence, but the news that broke out at this moment is really unbelievable.

"what?"

"The prince is not of the blood of the first emperor? How is it possible?"

"Could it be an excuse for the three envoys of Hexi, Jiannan, and Anxi to rebel?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, one must know that once the news was confirmed, the prince would not only usurp the throne and kill his father?

Even the last righteous status of being the orthodox royal family and heir to the crown prince will be gone!

Ling Wei was the one with the quickest reaction among the crowd!

Immediately, he showed an excited expression, and then challenged again, "Your Highness!"

Even Zhang Junshou and others, who were relatively conservative before, were a little moved and said, "Your Highness, if the news is true, then His Highness, as the only adult heir under the late emperor's knee, is the best choice to inherit the great line! "

"Yes, Your Highness! The crown prince has no virtue. If he doesn't even have the blood of the royal family, how can he sit on the world?!"

Li Changshou pretended to ponder, "But the orphaned concubine is still in the palace!"

"Your Highness!"

Guan Peng finally understood Li Changshou's eyes, this little cleverness immediately understood, and quickly suggested, "This subordinate has a way!"

"Oh? Say it!"

"We can secretly seek help from people in Jianghu. Among them, the famous Xianmen in Jianghu was persecuted by the prince before. If we can get help from Xianmen and go to the capital to secretly protect the imperial concubine, His Highness will naturally be able to rest easy!"

Most of the people don't know much about people in the Jianghu, but Ling Wei is an exception.

He had grown up in Jianghu, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands and said, "What Master Guan said is true, the martial arts of the Immortal Sect are extremely high, with their help, the imperial concubine and empress can surely be rescued safely!"

"The last general learned from Tianjilou, and he can also write a letter to let Tianjilou secretly assist him!"

Li Changshou had never been worried about the imperial concubine at all, not to mention that the imperial concubine has been treacherous and cunning for so many years, and the master of the magic sect has supernatural martial arts, so the prince and Guo Peng can threaten her?

Even if she is a weak woman without martial arts, it is impossible to give up this great opportunity for the sake of the imperial concubine.

Furthermore, Li Changshou secretly conspired with the imperial concubine through Elder Wang and the Demon Sect.

The imperial concubine staying in the palace naturally has her intentions.

But on the surface, it is still necessary to show the dilemma of being loyal and filial to children. After all, the Central Plains has attached great importance to filial piety since ancient times.

Put it on, and put it on.

Otherwise, look at the current situation of the prince, and then think about the results in the destiny simulator.

"it is good!"

Li Changshou drank in a deep voice, and immediately got up.

"Ling Wei!"

"The end is here!"

"Lonely, you are the vanguard, commanding [-] troops!"

Now the Jiangdong camp has about [-] troops, of course, excluding some new recruits who have just come here, there are at least [-] soldiers available.

Ling Wei took orders on the spot, "No!"

"Zuo Zhixiong!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to command [-] troops, and go out with me!"

Zuo Zhixiong knelt on one knee and gladly accepted the order!

The [-] soldiers and horses almost took away most of the vitality of the Jiangdong camp, leaving only more than [-] people, which should be enough to guard the south of the Yangtze River.

The news will be out soon!

The entire Jiangnan people were united, and there was no voice of opposition at all, and they even spontaneously raised food and grass.

And the news spread even more quickly, and everyone in the Central Plains got the news.

The son of the first emperor, the governor of the East China Sea, His Royal Highness Shou Wang vowed to raise troops, and the reason for raising troops is just a few words!

"On the side of the Qing emperor! Punish the treacherous ministers!"

"Feng Tianjing is difficult!"
