Inside the carriage, Yuan Pengnian was really worried, if there was a second person in Guilin City who was under more pressure than Qu Shiyun, who had an overview of the situation in Guilin, it was Yuan Pengnian.

In the current situation, King Gui's army has moved away from Guilin, and even if he returns to the division, it is impossible for Wang Yan to be his opponent, and with the strength of the outer city of the city, it is only a matter of time before Guilin is occupied by Wang Yan.

The result of King Gui's regime was only two paths: the burning of jade or King Gui's conscious return to the domain, and the task given to him by Wang Yan was to prevent King Gui's regime from burning all jade.

As a speculative literati with no bottom line, his appearance has been completely known by Wang Yan, and he is an existence that can be abandoned at any time, if he wants to continue to serve as a high-ranking official, he must show ability, otherwise Wang Yan has no need to raise an incompetent person who has neither a bottom line nor ability.

He didn't take Gui Wang out of the city before, Wang Yan is estimated to have been disappointed in him, and Qu Shiyun and others are estimated to be suspicious of him, so he is very stressed.

At this time, Qu Shiyun was very tough and unwilling to bow to Wang Yan, and the war was basically unavoidable, so his task was to buy the generals in the city and help Wang Yan enter the city quickly.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion gate in the west of the city, Yuan Pengnian stepped out of the carriage and walked directly to the gate, he already felt that there were people around him watching, it seems that Qu Shiyun is not only worried about the merchants and clans in the city, but also the magnates of the Guiwang regime in the city, and the generals who lead the troops are also the objects of surveillance.

Yuan Pengnian looked at the closed mansion and saw that there was no one in front of him, and a few people in the distance were probing their brains in the alley, obviously monitoring, but the three-day deadline was about to pass, and he didn't care about the consequences at this time.

Yuan Pengnian personally knocked on the door, and after a while, the small door next to him creaked open, revealing the vigilant eyes of the housekeeper, and the housekeeper recognized him at once, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Yuan Yushi, please come in quickly!" ”

There are also internal power struggles in King Gui, and Wenchen forms a party in the troubled times, first of all, he must have the support of at least one town of soldiers and horses, and he can speak hard.

At the beginning, Donglin couldn't fight Ma Ruan, largely because there was no support from Xunzhen, and later, in order to contend with Ma Ruan, Donglin hooked up with Zuozhen, which led to the collapse of the entire Hongguang court.

Yuan Pengnian was looking for the emerging Hou Jiao Lian, he was one of Qu Shiyun's main reliance in King Gui's regime, Yuan Pengnian originally had a close intersection with Jiao Lian as Qu Shiyun's subordinates, and often went to the palace to negotiate, so most of the housekeepers and subordinates knew him.

Yuan Pengnian walked into the door of the house and asked the housekeeper in a low voice, "Are you Hou Ye here?" ”

"Of course, now that the management is so strict, where else can Hou Ye go besides patrolling the city? Yuan Yushi, please come with me. ”

Yuan Pengnian followed the housekeeper all the way into the inner house, and after waiting for a while in front of a small courtyard, Jiao Lian greeted him with a smile, "I really didn't expect that Yuan Yushi would come at this time, there is not much time, please come in!" ”

Jiao Lian turned out to be an officer under King Jingjiang, and when Wang Yan entered Gui to quell the rebellion of King Jingjiang, he and Qu Shiqi captured King Jingjiang together, so that King Jingjiang's rebellion was quickly quelled.

At this time, at least thirty percent of the people in the city were Jiao Lian's subordinates, and Yuan Pengnian chose to start with him, in addition to the fact that he was enough to bear the heavy responsibility of welcoming the soldiers and horses outside the city, because Jiao Lian had a precedent of defection.

Whether he chose to abandon King Jingjiang out of righteousness or for himself, he was one of the people most likely to be persuaded in the face of the situation at this time.

From the perspective of righteousness, after all, the Longwu Imperial Court is the nominal center of the Ming Dynasty, once Guilin fights, it will definitely not be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and if Jiao Lian revalues righteousness, it is very likely to surrender.

From its own point of view, the current situation is almost exactly the same as that of King Jingjiang at the beginning, he was surrounded by imperial soldiers and horses in Guilin, and there was no hope of protesting.

The only thing that Yuan Pengnian is not sure about is that King Gui's identity is much higher than that of King Jingjiang, and the real legal heir, Jiao Lian is very likely to be the same as Qu Shiyun to protect King Gui.

"Excuse me!"

Yuan Pengnian arched his hand, and went directly into the courtyard, the two of them sat down in the room, Jiao Lian was not ambiguous, he could come to the door at this time, it must be related to the situation, so he went straight to the point: "What is the matter with Yuan Yushi coming to my house at this time?" ”

Yuan Pengnian sighed and said: "Lord Hou and I both support King Gui and want to help King Gui become the Son of Heaven, but I can't imagine that the plan is not as good as changing, the court is moving so fast, and the old Qu Pavilion intends to burn all the jade, but I think it is very improper, it doesn't matter if we die as courtiers, but His Royal Highness King Gui must not have anything to do." What does Master Hou think? ”

Jiao Lian listened to the words, his eyes narrowed, as if he wanted to see Yuan Pengnian through, he was silent for a while, stared at him and said, "Yuan Yushi has already taken refuge in the imperial court, right?" ”

Yuan Pengnian originally wanted to hide his identity, but after listening to Jiao Lian's words, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "How can Master Hou know?" Yes, today I came to find Hou Ye, on behalf of the Duke of Chu, I hope Hou Ye can open the city gate! ”

Wang Yan asked King Gui to abdicate and return to the vassal on the grounds that King Gui framed the minister and disobeyed the orders of the imperial court this time, combined with Yuan Pengnian's performance after he came back, as well as Fang Cai's words, Jiao Lian guessed that Yuan Pengnian might have taken refuge in Wang Yan, but he didn't expect to be guessed by him.

At this time, Jiao Lian listened, his face sank, and he didn't say anything, he needed to sort out his thoughts first, and after half a sound, he smiled bitterly and said: "Thanks to Wang Xianggong and Yuan Yushi, but Jiao wants to know what Wang Xianggong plans to do with King Gui and Qu Pavilion?" ”

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the existence of King Gui Jian Guo is obviously the power of the Longwu court, before the Longwu court did not gain a foothold in Guangnan may be tolerated, but now Wang Yan's victory in the east, basically temporarily cut off the threat of the Qing army to Guangjing, plus Yuan Pengnian defected to Wang Yan, the matter of King Gui's regime framing him was known by Wang Yan, then Wang Yan will never tolerate the continued existence of King Gui's regime.

As the general of King Gui's regime, Jiao Lian had long expected that the court and King Gui would definitely have a conflict, and he also knew that King Gui would be defeated, in fact, since the beginning of the year, King Gui's regime sent troops to Yunnan, but instead of making an inch, he pit Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, and many people have been disappointed in King Gui's regime.

Elder Yuan Peng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master Hou can rest assured, Yuan can guarantee that Wang Xianggong has absolutely no intention of harming His Royal Highness King Gui, and the officials who support Gui will not be persecuted." However, King Gui's activities in the future will definitely be restricted, and Qu Ge Lao and others, the imperial court may be idle to support them! ”

said the punishment of King Gui and Qu Shiyun, which made Jiao Lian feel that Yuan Pengnian's words were very sincere.

He was promoted by Qu Shiyun, and he should not be betrayed, but Qu Shiyun's hard support is completely famous, and now he is soft, King Gui is still there, and the pro-Gui faction will not have no chance to make a comeback in the future, but if the jade is burned, it will be all over, and there will be no profit at all, which is not a choice that a reasonable person should make.

"As long as Wang Xianggong does not harm His Royal Highness King Gui and Qu Pavilion, Jiao is willing to open the city and welcome Wang Xianggong into the city."

Yuan Pengnian was overjoyed when he heard this, and the two discussed some details at the moment, and saw that the martial law time was coming soon, so he hurriedly went out.

Jiao Lian sent Yuan Pengnian outside the mansion gate, but saw a team of soldiers suddenly running in front of the mansion and surrounding his mansion.

At this time, a person walked out from among the soldiers, it was Li Kaiyuan, the prefect of Guilin, and Jiao Lian said with a cold face: "Li Zhizhou, what are you doing in my mansion?" ”

"I would like to ask Peng Yushi, what are you doing in the Xinxing Mansion?" Li Kaiyuan did not answer Jiao Lian, but asked Yuan Pengnian coldly.

"This official has not violated the ban, and it is my private matter to come to Xinxing Houfu, what does Li Zhizhou mean by this? Do you want to slander the official and the new marquis? ”

Li Kaiyuan stared at Yuan Pengnian coldly, and after a while, he snorted, "Lord Yuan, let me warn you first, if you want to collude inside and outside and betray His Royal Highness King Gui, as long as I catch a little evidence, I will not hesitate to kill you and show your head!" ”

Yuan Pengnian and Jiao Lian's faces sank like water, Li Kaiyuan looked at it, waved his hand and led the troops away.
