Under the warm winter sun, a strange scene appeared in front of the Zhengyang Gate of Taicheng.

Due to the recent events in Jinnai, the defense near Zhengyangmen has also been strengthened, and the entry and exit of hundreds of officials in Taiwan have to go through layers of checks. However, at this moment, in the middle of the road facing the Zhengyang Gate, there is an ox cart horizontally, not only the guards dare not approach, but even the other Taichen have to go around in a circle when they walk here, not daring to take a second look, as if there is some great character riding on this ox cart.

Indeed, the passengers on the bus are very remarkable, and it is Wen Qiao who is known for his book. Wen Qiao's identity naturally does not need to be mentioned, but it can be said that it is the only remaining Zhongxing Yuanfu at the moment. However, if we talk about this identity alone, in terms of the current situation in, it is only a symbol that is greater than reality, and all parties may respect it, but not necessarily fear it.

What really made the ministers stay away from this old man was that a few days ago, the news of Xi Jian's death spread in the capital, and then Wen Qiao, who had been recuperating for a long time behind closed doors, led his two sons to appear outside Xuanyang Gate in an ox cart, neither entering Taicheng nor leaving.

At that time, He Chong, the middle school secretary, rushed to hear the news and planned to persuade him a little, but the old man ordered the second son to step forward with a cane and knock him to the ground, causing an uproar. Although He Chong lost face, he just retreated to Taicheng, and at the same time instructed the guards not to offend this duke.

In the next few days, He Chong was not the only one who suffered, Dafan Taichen dared to approach, even including Sima Yu, the king of Xuancheng, and Wei Chong, the head of the country, once they dared to step forward and speak, they were all severely beaten by Wen Qiao's two sons.

The stage is now at the intersection of all kinds of difficulties, and he didn't dare to act rashly about Wen Qiao's obedient behavior, so he simply ignored it. However, even so, the father and son had to stay here every day, ranging from one to two hours.

Taichen Shiliu may not understand why Wen Qiao did this at first, but gradually he also figured out that he was always injured by Xi Jian's death, so as to express his dissatisfaction and urge Taicheng to give an explanation as soon as possible.

And after understanding this, it made the people of the time even more sad. Xi Jian and Wen Qiao are the choices of the older generation of Fang Bo, especially in the Suzu Rebellion, each of them supported the Qin Wang Yishi and made great contributions to quelling the chaos, but now, one died in the coercion of the troubled villagers, and the other was so sick that he couldn't speak, so he could only use this almost scoundrel way to accuse the incumbent Taifu of their stupid behavior!

Their time, the order they created, and everything they fought for for their home and country, has now become a matter of indifference to those in high positions.

However, it is not a way to drag on for so long, Wen Qiao blocked the door at Xuanyang Gate for a day, and Taicheng would lose a point.

It's not that they haven't tried to send the guards to block the door of the Wen family to stop the father and son, but there are not only Taicheng side in the capital, but many people at the time feel Wen Qiao's sad accusation expression, once Wen's car is blocked and difficult to drive, there is no shortage of time flow from the nearby neighborhoods, and they also learn from the Liang Gong guards last year to use people as a wall, and send the Wen father and son to their destination side by side, and then disperse.

Although in this process, the Wen family father and son were also unapologetic and silent about these timers who helped them, and those timers did not expect to be able to invite gratitude and reward. However, this silent action had a huge pressure of its own, which fell in the eyes of the ministers in the stage, and made it difficult for them to breathe.

Finally, under this pressure, Taicheng had to face up to Xi Jian's death and gave a positive response. On this day, Wen's father and son also demonstrated silently, and on the way, Chu Xi, the son of Chu Yi, hurriedly came, and then ordered someone to send a letter over, and then said to Wen Fangzhi, who was standing next to the car: "Brother Hongzu, Tainei is also sad about the death of Gong Xi, and he has been in trouble recently, so he has not been able to deal with it in time. At present, the matters of Xi Gong's mourning and glory are all presented here, and I respectfully ask Wen Gong to be correct, and if there is no objection, the edict will be announced immediately. ”

Wen Fangzhi took the draft of the edict after hearing this, and then leaned to the car and whispered the content in his father's ear. Wen Qiao's body was already extremely heavy, and he was completely speechless, and could only express his simple will through the blinking of his eyelids.

The content of the edict is extremely long, in addition to the first half of the beautiful ornamental rhetoric, the most important thing is to arrange for Xi Jianyi to mourn the honor, posthumously present Dazai, the nickname Wencheng, and the most important thing is that the knighthood is directly changed to the county Wang Gaoping and sealed, which is also a rare honor in China and the DPRK.

It can be seen that the urgency of Tainai to calm down this matter, as well as the guilt of Xi Jian in their respective hearts. However, in the entire edict, there was no investigation of the cause of Xi Jian's death.

After Wen Qiao listened, his fingers flicked for a moment, and Wen Fang hurriedly handed the draft of the edict into his hand, and then the entire edict was shattered under Wen Qiao's fingernails.

"Ho...... Hui, Hui......" There were a few vague whimperes at the corners of his mouth, and Wen Qiao closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were already cloudy tears.

"Go home."

Wen Fangzhi understood what his father meant, turned his head to greet his second brother Wen Shiyi, and the two brothers drove an ox cart together and slowly left Xuanyang Gate.

Chu Xi stood in the distance, looking at the broken draft of the edict on the ground, and didn't understand what to do for a while, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the paper fragments after a while, and then hurriedly returned to the stage to report.

"Gong Wen is gone?"

After listening to Chu Xi's story, Chu Yi bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

"But what does Gong Wen mean? Will you come back tomorrow? ”

Chu Xi was still a little puzzled.

"He's not coming back. It is still necessary to quickly arrange for the guards to defend themselves nearby to ensure the tranquility of the Wen Mansion for the Wen Gong to recuperate. As for the edict, let it be announced tomorrow as before. ”

He Chong's cheeks were faintly green, and he replied after hearing Chu Xi's question.

Taichung's statement is obvious that it is impossible for them to trace the cause of Xi Jian's death to the end and destroy the overall harmony. It is true that Xi Jian's old achievements are outstanding, but after his person left Xuzhou, the greatest significance in the current situation is no longer there.

Although Wen Qiao's status in Taiwan is respected, he has never had the authority to govern, not because his merits are not high, but because of the lack of echoes of the party, and his actual power is not even as good as Shen Chong, who entered Taiwan later.

And how did Xi Jian die? was forced to death by his Qingxu Township Party!

Even if Taichung gave the honor posthumously, it was not because of Wen Qiao's silent oppression, tracing back to the source, or because Shen Weizhou used this as an excuse to encourage Xuzhou Jiazhong to come south. It's a growing possibility, but it's better than doing nothing.

However, in any case, Xi Jian's death has always made the situation a little more serious, and it has gradually become uncontrollable.

"If only I could have made a mistake before, instead of indulging in evil and cultivating adultery......"

On the other side, Yu Bing suddenly spoke, and he also smelled a few hints of more and more dangerous breath.

"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more. Go to Tingwei to propose Zhuge Boyan to send him back, and inform Ge Gong that if Wang Shenyou does not return to the capital immediately, and there is a hidden danger outside, then he does not have to come again! ”

Chu Yu was even more anxious at this time, Shen Chong's whereabouts were unknown, Xi Jian was coerced to death by the chaotic crowd, and all kinds of piles made the Jiangbei soldiers come to the south gradually. At the beginning, they did not make a painful decision to pacify and exterminate the chaos in Langya Township, and they embarked on a road of no return.

The only way to do this is to unite all the forces that can be united, which has become a point of no return.

However, how dare Wang Shenyou ...... in this situation The Empress Dowager is still urging the use of troops. ”

Yu Bing looked embarrassed, in the past few days after Xi Jian's death, they have not only suffered from Wen Qiao's silent accusations, but also the increasingly severe reprimands from the queen mother. Even if Wen Qiao does not pose a substantial threat, the Queen Mother is a great variable.

"Is there no way you brother? Do it boldly, and now only seek survival and stability, and everything can be coordinated for this purpose. ”

Although Chu Yi only asked rhetorically, there was actually a way in his words.

After Yu Bing heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he lowered his head and was silent, but the cold sweat on his forehead was already dense, and it could be seen that the struggle in his heart was extremely anxious, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Zhigong's subordinates have come one after another, and Dunan is already narrow and difficult to stay......

"Stone Town is sitting for Zhou Hou, and it is also full at the moment. The state city, the successor division will go to the state city. Also, you have to tell Zhigong that the strict restraint of the tribes and the fierce people are all in different border towns, and they are really a little uncomfortable in Dunan. ”

Chu Yi replied after a little silence, as the Yu Yi soldiers gathered more and more, the bad state of his soldiers was also revealed, and the entire southern capital was corrupted, and many of the Wu people who were guarding their jobs here were broken down, and they had no choice but to flee. He let go of some of Yu Yi's soldiers to settle in the state city, but also to separate them and monitor them.

"Okay then."

Yu Bing nodded after hearing this, and then led a part of the people to go straight to the garden, traveling smoothly along the way, and almost came to Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is also indignant these days, and she has urged Yu Yibing to send Langya unsuccessfully, but Zhuge Hui said that the Langya rebels have realized their mistakes, and they will return to the capital to be punished in a few days.

This naturally gave the Queen Mother a chance to play on the topic, but Yu Yi didn't dare to act because of the frequent riots in the southern Wu, so after seeing Yu Bing, the Queen Mother naturally had no good mood.

But before she could open her mouth to reprimand, Yu Bing had already taken the first step to speak: "At present, there are signs of appeasement in many parties inside and outside Gyeonggi. Especially near Zhoushan, there is no lack of Langya chaos and yin gathering, for the sake of safety, but also ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor to temporarily move to Jianping Garden, after the matter is decided, and then return to the garden. ”

"The situation is already so critical? I ordered your brother to send troops quickly, but you were too cowardly, and now you ......."

After hearing this, the queen mother's face changed suddenly, and then she couldn't help complaining to Yu Bing, but soon said to herself: "That's it, that's it, that's all your talent, or quickly summon Wei Zhou into the arch ......"

"It's just a small problem! Chaos on all sides, because it is difficult to determine for a while, there is really no labor in Jiangbei. ”

Yu Bing took a step forward, pressed it on the back of the queen mother's hand, and said quickly: "Sister doesn't even believe in her own brother anymore?" ”

"I Am ...... By Faith"

The Queen Mother subconsciously replied, and then noticed that Yu Bing's demeanor was different, and a sense of crisis suddenly surged out of her heart: "Ji Jian, you ......"

"There is no need to talk more, please start as soon as possible."

Yu Bing subconsciously took a small step back, and then his demeanor became serious, but there was no longer any intention to ask for instructions in his tone: "But please believe me, as long as my brother is still alive, no one will be allowed to insult the monarch!" ”

The queen mother sat on the seat, her eyes staring at Yu Bing, who seemed to her to be a stranger, and her whole body was cold, and she was stunned.
