Chapter 923

"Discuss with Old General Duan first?" Zhao Zhongxian looked at Zhang Jiuling, another person present, with some confusion.

After Zhang Jiuling pondered for a long time, he bowed slightly. "Yes, Brother Zhongxiong Xian is reasonable, this matter is very important, we must not be reckless, and General Duan is the person appointed by His Majesty to be in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, and he is the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, we had better communicate with him first before making a decision."

"That's the same, speaking of which, Zhao also wants to see what kind of reaction General Duan will have after learning the news." Zhao Zhongxian said a little excitedly, well, it is typical to look at the excitement and not think it is a big deal, or this goods hopes that more people will share the heavy pressure brought by this news.

Since the three of them had already agreed, they didn't bother to delay, and they left the mansion in a row, and went directly to General Duan's mansion.

Because General Duan was currently handling official business in the sixteen guards yamen in the imperial city, the three of them had to turn their horses' heads and go straight towards the imperial city.

rushed to the yamen of the sixteenth guard, and finally saw the old general Duan who was sitting in the back ya, caressing the snow-white long beard and looking at the official documents. It's just that General Duan's expression was extremely gloomy, and it could even be said that there was a look of surprise and uncertainty between his eyebrows, which suddenly made Zhang Jiuling and the other three of them chuckle in their hearts, could it be that something bad happened in Datang?

"Hey, why are you three here? Come and sit down, the old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, please forgive the old man for being rude. Old General Duan saw Zhang Jiuling and the others, stood up with his upper body on the desk, and greeted the three of them.

"Don't dare to be, please sit down quickly, you are so old at an ancient age, but you are still so conscientious for the safety of the Tang Dynasty, it really makes me ashamed...... Didn't Your Majesty once say that the old general is not in good health, and you can go out to the palace to handle official business? How did you get here again? Zhao Zhongxian stepped forward and grabbed General Duan's arm and helped him sit back on the couch.

Old General Duan sighed leisurely and said with a helpless wry smile. "Alas...... If it is usual, why do you need my old bones to come out, but now that the master is restless, the old man will no longer come out and walk around, so that those with ulterior motives will know that the old man is still there......"

These words made Zhang Jiuling and the others really speechless, yes, if His Majesty was still there, General Duan would naturally not show up, but now, the Son of Heaven has been captured, although the news is extremely tightly controlled, it does not mean that no one in the capital knows about it.

What's more, at this time, His Majesty is not there, and the Tang Dynasty is in danger. There will always be some ambitious people with ulterior motives who are ready to move, so General Duan has to stand up at this moment. Let the people and soldiers of Jingshi know that he Duan Guixiong is still alive and can still be on the board of directors of the Yamen, which is also to warn those with ulterior motives to be careful.

"Hard work old general, the old general is worthy of being the pillar stone of my Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for you, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it would have been chaotic a long time ago......" Zhang Jiuling bowed deeply to the old general Duan with a happy heart.

"Okay, between you and me, you don't have to be so polite, let's talk about what you came here for, if there is no big thing, I guess you won't come together, right?" Old General Duan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Zhang Jiuling didn't rush to say it, but asked General Duan instead. "Just now I watched the old general when he read the official documents, his brows were deeply locked, and his face was angry, I don't know where what happened, causing the old general to be so angry?"

"Huh...... You must not know what this official document says...... Take a look for yourself, in addition to this, there are ...... here" Old General Duan felt extremely heartwarming when he thought of this, and simply picked out those copies from the official documents on the case.

Zhang Jiuling was not polite, he took it in his hand and opened it, and his face changed instantly. Soon, the expression became strange. "This ......" official document refers to the news about Xu Wang Li Da.

It is said that more than half a month ago, Li Da, the king of Xu who was in the fief of Jingzhou, has been unwilling to be lonely and befriended the civil and military ministers of Jingzhou since he returned to the fiefdom, and after the news that His Majesty the Emperor was trapped in Youxian Palace on the side of Jingshi reached Jingzhou, our Xu Wang Li Da can be described as a surprise.

began to wantonly woo those Jingzhou civil and military officials, and made wishes, hoping that these people could support themselves as the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty at this critical opportunity for the survival of the Tang Dynasty, and when they got into their positions, they would definitely reward those of you who had supported me.

On the other hand, they quietly began to recruit troops and private troops in the Jingzhou area.

After reading this official document, he glanced at the official document in the hands of Zhao Zhongxian and Ximen Zhongxiong, although the highness mentioned is not the same person, but the content is similar, it is enough to see that after hearing that His Majesty the Emperor was trapped in Youxian Palace, these princes were neither sad nor angry, but happy and wanted to create conditions for their future efforts.

"No wonder His Majesty once said...... There is no one among the kings who is worthy of the great task. Zhang Jiuling also shook his head in disappointment, indeed, seeing such news would only make them, loyal ministers who were loyal to the Tang Empire and worried about the country and the people, feel very sad.

“…… Alas, His Majesty is not completely confused at all. Zhao Zhongxian threw the official document in his hand back to the desk like garbage, and said with a long sigh.

"Old general, the three of us came here, speaking of which, it really has something to do with these highnesses." Zhang Jiuling sat on the couch, took out the crumpled pigeon letter from his arms and handed it to the desk, saying as he spoke.

"Oh? It has something to do with those highnesses...... Isn't it because they want you to say good things for them? Old General Duan's eyes fell on the pigeon letter, but he didn't pick it up, but said something like this first.

"No, old general, you should read this letter from Yunzhou first." Ximen Zhongxiong smiled, not in the tone of an old general.

Old General Duan's eyes swept over the three of them, and then he picked up this pigeon letter and spread it out in front of him, at first glance, Old General Duan's eyes instantly widened, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands with some disbelief, as if he was afraid that his old eyes would be dizzy and read the wrong content.

But after rubbing his eyes, the words are still those words, and the content is still those contents, well, the shock of General Duan brought by this letter almost made his always strong heart myocardial infarction.

"This, how is this possible? It's impossible......" Old General Duan looked at it for the first time, with an unbelievable look, and then looked at it seriously for the second time, and muttered vigorously in his mouth, it seemed that he still had some taste after it.

"Old general, this letter is from the closed disciple of Master Mengfu, my champion of the Tang Dynasty, the current Zuo Yulin Wei Changshi, Yunzhou Don't Drive Duan Shaojun's hands, think about it, there should be no fake." Ximen Zhongxiong saw Old General Duan's messy posture in the wind, and couldn't help but kindly remind.

"Duan Shaojun?! Is it the Duan Shaojun who made Princess Zhaoyang even make a wedding scene on the border of Shuozhou in order to save him? Old General Duan couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg, damn, the old man is already familiar with the name of the little rabbit cub, how can everything seem to be mixed with this kid.

"Yes, it's him." Zhang Jiuling nodded and replied. "In addition, old general, have you seen what was said in the letter, my Royal Highness the seven princes of the Tang Dynasty have all sent envoys to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang, expressing their willingness to support Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang as my Majesty the Empress of the Tang Dynasty."

“…… How is this possible, the old man really thinks it is too unbelievable. You should have seen those official documents before, right? Look for yourself, those highnesses, one by one, are all clamoring to be called the king and the emperor in private, how can it be that in the blink of an eye, they actually sent envoys to Yunzhou to express their willingness to support Princess Zhaoyang as the empress of the Tang Dynasty? That's weird, isn't it? ”

"Yes, don't say that the old general, you think it's weird, and we also feel very curious, how can these highnesses change so quickly...... It's a pity that the words in this letter are unknown, it is really ......" egg pain, deep egg pain, Zhang Jiuling shouted in the depths of his heart with great resentment.

"But the problem is, since he dared to write it in the letter, it means that these things must be true, and you can't make a fake news to fool us important court ministers, right?" Ximen Zhongxiong spread out his hands and said helplessly.

Although Ximen Zhongxiong looked at Duan Shaojun's preferred son-in-law unpleasantly, he also had to admit that this son-in-law was at least not the kind of person who had no hair on his mouth and was not good at handling things. What's more, the fact that His Royal Highness the Seven Princes are willing to come forward to support Princess Zhaoyang as Her Majesty the Empress of the Tang Dynasty involves such a big event as Jiangshan Sheji.
