Chapter 690: Abdication of the Prison State

Li Daqi and Xiang Lun made an appointment to go to the alum tower the next day to formally sign the contract, and then he returned to Hongqiao Baoyan Zhai, as soon as he entered the door, a steward stepped forward and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhao is here, I have been waiting for a long time if I have something urgent to find." ”

Li Daqi was slightly stunned, he didn't need to see a doctor, his family was not in the capital, what did Imperial Doctor Zhao do? Does he also want to buy his own land in Hangzhou?

Li Daqi thought all the way, and walked quickly to the guest hall, only to see the imperial physician Zhao Keats sitting in the hall drinking tea, Li Daqi arched his hand and smiled: "I'm sorry, I let Imperial Doctor Zhao wait for a long time." ”

Zhao Keats got up and saluted, "Excuse me outside Li Yuan!" ”

"Where! Doctor, please be seated. ”

The two sat down separately, Li Daqi asked the maid to serve tea again, Li Daqi asked with a smile: "Which fragrant wind blew the imperial doctor here today?" ”

Zhao Keats said with a smile: "There are two things to trouble Li Yuanwai, one is a private matter and the other is a public matter, so it is better for me to talk about private matters first." ”

"Doctor, please speak!"

"That's right, I have some more important personal belongings that I want to transport to Suzhou, and it is inconvenient to travel by land.

Li Daqi nodded, "I have a few ships, but the Imperial Doctor should also know that now the ships cannot enter the capital, and the ships are temporarily parked in Yongqiu County, so they can only transport the items to Yongqiu first, and then get on the ship from there, I can borrow two ships for the Imperial Doctor." ”

"Thank you so much, I'll rent a few donkey carts tomorrow."

"I may not be here tomorrow morning, but it doesn't matter, I'll explain the steward, and the doctor will just go to the steward directly."

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! Then let's talk about business. ”

"The Imperial Doctor said."

Zhao Kici groaned and said, "This is not a place to speak, but there is a more hidden place?" ”

Li Daqi was stunned for a moment, he got up and closed the door of the guest hall, turned back to Zhao Keats and said, "Please go inside to talk." ”

The two walked to the inner room and sat down, and Zhao Keats lowered his voice and said to Li Daqi: "The prince has a top-secret letter to give to Ling Lang!" ”

"To Yanqing?" Li Daqi's brows furrowed.

Zhao Keats nodded, "The situation is urgent, can you send it to Taiyuan with a pigeon letter?" ”

"It should be possible, I can send it to Taiyuan Baoyanzhai and let them transfer it to Yanqing, but I have to tell Taiyuan that Taiyuan pigeon letter is very strictly controlled, and Baoyanzhai can't reply to the letter."

"It's okay, just send the letter, can Li Yuanwai deliver it immediately?"

Li Daqi hesitated, nodded and said, "Where is the letter?" ”

Zhao Keats took off his hat, took out a roll of paper from his hair, and handed it to Li Daqi, "Li Yuanwai will burn it after reading it, and then write a pigeon letter by himself, please read it now." ”

Li Daqi opened the paper scroll, only to see that there was only one sentence in it, 'My father wants to pass it on to Lonely, Yanqing can immediately abandon Taiyuan and lead the army back to the capital. ’

Li Daqi was stunned, his hands began to tremble, Zhao Keats took the letter from Li Daqi's hand, put it on the candle and burned it, and he said to Li Daqi: "Li Yuanwai told Yanqing that it was a letter sent by me, and he believed it, this matter is very urgent, please send the letter immediately." ”

Li Daqi nodded slowly, "I'll send a letter!" ”

Li Daqi immediately wrote a pigeon letter, came to the pigeon loft in the backyard, took out one of the strongest pigeons, tied the letter to its legs, and as soon as his hand was released, the carrier pigeon fluttered and flew into the sky, circled in the air, and flew away in the northwest direction.

Zhao Keats saw the pigeon fly away with his own eyes, so he said goodbye to Li Daqi.

........

Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ji lay on the dragon couch with a pale face, staring at the roof in a daze, without saying a word, at this time, Wu Min said on the side: "Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang acted decisively and insightfully, and the five strategies he went to the imperial army were very targeted, and I hope Your Majesty will adopt them!" ”

Zhao Ji said coldly: "The prince asked you to say it!" ”

Wu Min hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "When the country is in crisis, Weichen doesn't dare to be selfish!" ”

Zhao Ji snorted, "Then announce his visit!" ”

A eunuch hurriedly rushed out, and there were more than a dozen important ministers standing outside the Yangxin Palace, each with a complicated expression on their faces, at this time, Wang Hao whispered to Cai Jing: "Just now Taifu Liang said that the official family has decided to change the name of Hangzhou to Nanjing, and Yingtianfu will remove the Beijing number, is it really going to move the capital?" ”

Cai Jing shook his head, "The current situation is not critical, it is difficult for Jin soldiers to cross the Yellow River, and now it is extremely unfavorable to Sheji to talk about moving the capital, I think it is unlikely to move the capital at this time." ”

"Is it possible to move the imperial court to Nanjing for summer vacation?"

Cai Jing smiled, "Isn't this covering your ears and stealing the bell?" I don't think that's an excuse. ”

At this time, Gao Yu, who was silent on the side, said: "Maybe the official family is going to make an edict!" ”

Cai Jing and Wang Hao were both taken aback, "Is this true?" ”

"I also heard from the eunuchs, and after the officials woke up, they cried loudly, saying that they would issue an edict to the subjects of the world to punish themselves!"

Wang Hao hurriedly said: "This may just be an exclamation, and it may not be taken seriously!" ”

Gao Yu shook his head, glanced at Li Gang, who was a few feet away, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why Li Gang is here?" ”

More than a dozen important ministers outside are all important ministers such as Xiangguo and Taiwei, and Li Gang, as a middle-level official, is actually among them, which is indeed very strange.

Zhang Bangchang said on the other side: "It should be related to his "Five Strategies for Imperial Rong", I heard that it was written in blood. ”

Cai Jing and Wang Hao had not read this "Five Strategies of the Imperial Rong", and the two hurriedly asked, "What are the five strategies?" ”

Gao Yu sneered, "Actually, it's very simple, summoning the teacher and king Qin is one strategy, hiding soldiers in the people is the second strategy, rewarding military merits is three strategies, reusing loyalty and courage is four strategies, and passing on the crown prince is five strategies." ”

"What!"

Cai Jing and Wang Hao were stunned, the fifth strategy was actually the crown prince, it was simply bold, Wang Hao gritted his teeth with hatred, "With such a big rebellious statement, why didn't the official family order him to be killed?" ”

Gao Yu said lightly: "The official family did not order him to be killed, but let him come to the Heart Cultivation Hall to wait for him, why do you say it?" ”

Cai Jing and Wang Hao glanced at each other, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes, and they understood in their hearts that they were afraid that the official family himself wanted to abdicate and flee south.

"No way!" Wang Hao gritted his teeth and said: "We must not let the officials make a confused decision, and at the critical moment, the society must be stable." ”

Cai Jing was unexpectedly silent, he had a good relationship with the prince, and Wang Hao was on the same page with the prince because of the Fan Dang case, and even publicly expressed his support for King Yun's ascension, Cai Jing suddenly realized that maybe this was a great opportunity for him to eradicate his political enemies.

At this moment, a eunuch ran out and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuantai Chang Shaoqing Li Gang will meet you!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Li Gang stood up and followed the eunuch into the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wang Hao clenched his fists, his chest rose and fell in anger, but Cai Jing slowly narrowed his eyes.

..........

"Weichen Li Gang see Your Majesty!" Li Gang bowed deeply in front of the dragon couch.

Zhao Ji said for a while: "Aiqing's "Five Strategies for Imperial Rong", I have already read it, and it is indeed very insightful, but I am a little puzzled by the fifth strategy, can Li Aiqing explain to me, why letting me abdicate is also regarded as a strategy to resist the enemy?" ”

Li Gang knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The Jurchen enemy is rampant like this, and it is not enough to attract the world's heroes with a title. ”

"Can't you supervise the country?"

Li Gang knew that the matter had come to this, he would rather die than speak out, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, An Lushan was chaotic, and the matter of Suzong Lingwu was not enough to restore the state, but the proposal to build the number did not come from the Ming Emperor, and the future generations cherished it, Your Majesty is wise and forgiving, and when the rapids retreat bravely, in order to win the heart of the world." ”

Li Gang's allusion is very bold, during the An Lushan Rebellion, the Son of Heaven Li Longji fled to Bashu, and the prince was left to fight against the thieves, at this time Li Longji should take the initiative to abdicate, but Li Longji did not retreat, and as a result, the prince ascended the throne on his own in Lingwu, and respected Li Longji as the emperor, and Li Longji had to be forced to admit that the prince had ascended the throne.

This is Li Gang hinting to Zhao Ji, if Zhao Ji refuses to abdicate, it is likely to repeat the scene when Li Longji was forced to admit it, so it is better to make a gesture and take the initiative to abdicate in order to win the reputation of future generations.

Zhao Ji sat up abruptly and stared at Li Gang fiercely, "You dare to bully the king and insult me!" ”

Li Gang kowtowed and cried: "The minister is loyal to His Majesty, heaven and earth can be learned, the minister is for the sake of His Majesty, if Your Majesty does not believe it, the minister is willing to die!" ”

"Humph! If you die, my ears will be quiet. ”

Li Gang jumped up when he heard this, and slammed into the pillar next to him, just as Tang Li, a bachelor of Chengzhi, was standing aside, he reacted quickly and pushed Li Gang in time, Li Gang's body was crooked, his forehead rubbed against the pillar, and he immediately bled and fainted on the spot.

Zhao Ji was originally just an angry remark, but he didn't expect Li Gang to really hit the pillar, which made him upset for a while, and waved his hand and said, "Carry him down, let the doctor adjust and treat him quickly!" ”

Li Gang was carried out of the Heart Cultivation Hall by several eunuchs, and a eunuch hurriedly said: "Go and ask for a doctor!" ”

Seeing that Li Gang's face was covered with blood, everyone was even more suspicious in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on, at this time, Wang Hao couldn't hold back anymore, and ran to the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to offer!" ”

After a while, a eunuch came out and said, "The official family Xuan Cai Xianggong and Wang Xianggong are here!" ”
