Compared with the slow movement of King Ning to the south, Liang Xi's movement out of the town of Shandong was like a fire.

On the eighth day of the first month of the eleventh year of Chongguan, Lin Jian returned to Chongzhou from Jiangning, and the grace of Zheng Guogong Liang Xi to change the title of Lu Guogong has been edicted to the world. Before the edict was issued to the world, Liang Xi, the Duke of Lu, and Liang Chengchong, the Marquis of Changxiang, raised more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Qinyang to attack the Tianyuan rebels occupying Linqing in the west.

The army of the people in Linqing was as high as more than 40,000 people, and the defenders relied on the soldiers to meet the battle under the city, and they were defeated in a battle, and Liang Xi and his son took advantage of the rout to seize the city. More than 20,000 rebels were killed and captured in the campaign, and they entered Jinan and the plains, causing the rebels in Jinan and the plains to panic and feel uneasy.

Guan Yunbo and Qinyang general Liang Chengyi led 6,000 elite soldiers from Qinyang to attack Wen County in the north, and the rebel general Yang Quan's troops and civilians were forced to withdraw north of the Yellow River.

With the defeat of Chen Tangyi, Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong, Liang Chengyi, and Liang Chengyi, who replaced Hou Suhu in Jingbei and guarded Yanbei Liaodi for nearly ten years, were forced to hand over the power of the border army and return to Qinyang.

The father and son of the Liang family, who have the merit of supporting the second emperor to ascend the throne, except for the second son Liang Chengyi as the general of Qinyang, the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction are only six thousand people in ten battalions, and Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong, the two core figures of the Liang family, have been hidden for three or four years.

Although the hundred-legged insect is not stiff, not to mention that the Liang family is just dormant? Liang's trip out of the mountain this time was quite indignant for three years without a sound.

Tang Haoxin saw it very accurately when he begged for death: the situation in the north was so erosive, Li Zhuo was reluctant to guard against the eastern captives, and Yue Lengqiu was not enough to quell the chaos of the displaced people, and Emperor Chongguan was forced to bow to Wanshou Palace...... Whether it is the Liang family or the emperor is not assured that the Jinhai grain road is completely in the hands of Tang Guyi, the southeast Caoliang Jinhai grain road is transferred to Yanjing, and Shandong connects Yannan and Jiangdong, which is the most core link.

Tang Haoxin died on a hunger strike and refused to call himself sick and retired, and died so violently, probably the emperor and the Liang family never expected.

At the same time as Lu Guogong Liang Xi went out of the town of Shandong, there was also an edict to the world that Tang Haoxin was extremely mournful, posthumously presented Tang Haoxin with a product of Taishi, posthumously awarded Qin Guogong, and Zhen Wenzhong.

More than 200 years since the founding of the country, Wenchen died and won Wenzhong, but more than ten people, all of whom were emperors, and in the eyes of the world, Tang Haoxin's death was also extremely sad.

Because Tang Haoxin's two sons are not virtuous, there is no official title for attacking the knight, and Tang Haoxin's son-in-law Gu Wuchen is promoted to the senior doctor, and he is listed as the second grade; promoted his grandson Gu Siyuan to be the court's speaker, and he was listed as the sixth grade; Promoted his grandson-in-law Lin Tie to be a middle doctor, from the four grades, given purple robes, goldfish bags, in addition, Chen/Yuan Liang, Zhang Jinxian, Du Juefu and other officials of the Tang Gu Department were rewarded.

In the eyes of the world, Tang Haoxin's death made Tang Gu and his family ascend to heaven, and he was suspected of taking advantage of the dead to get promoted.

****************

Gu Siyuan escorted Tang Haoxin back to his hometown for burial, and Lin Tie was in Chongzhou and at the southern foot of Zilang Mountain to commemorate Tang Haoxin's clothes.

Gu Wuchen and his wife were outside the army, Gu Junxun and his brother were both raised by Tang Haoxin, and Tang Haoxin's death was a particularly big blow to Gu Junxun.

At first, Lin Jian thought that Tang Haoxin was too scheming, but as soon as Tang Haoxin died, he was moved by the unswerving integrity of a scribe and Confucian like him.

Everyone seeks to survive, everyone is greedy, this kind of death-seeking temperament, after a thousand years, who can understand?

The special envoy of the reward proclaimed decree arrived in Chongzhou on the tenth day of the first month, and Lin Jian had to accept the decree, and after receiving the decree, he sent a ship to send the envoy to Jiangning, and there was no intention of retaining.

After Dongya received the order, Lin Jian sent his followers away, held the holy decree of moire gold silk in his hand, climbed the mountain alone, locked himself in the tomb guard hut in front of Tang Haoxin's clothed mound and meditated, to think about some things that he couldn't see through or think through.

The atmosphere in this mountain was also very depressing, and Song Jia saw Lin Jian walking into the tomb guard house for a long time on the cliff platform, so he walked over.

There was only one incense case in the tomb guarding the house, Lin Tie sat on the futon, and said to the world that the holy decree of the incomparably respected moire gold wire was thrown on the brick floor by Lin Tie, Song Jia walked over, picked up the holy decree from the ground, dusted off the plaster, and whispered: "It's always bad to throw it so littered and let others see it." ”

Lin Jian took out a futon and asked Song Jia to sit down and accompany him.

Song Jia put a stick of incense in front of the incense case, and regardless of any manners, he sat down with Lin Jian and sighed: "King Lining and the use of the Liang family are all strategies for the imperial court to drink water to quench their thirst, Tang Gong is determined by death and admonished each other by death, but in the eyes of the emperor, or in the eyes of those who do not understand Tang Gong's intentions, Tang Gong is a death coercion......"

"Do you know who the two I admire the most in this life?" Lin Jian asked.

"What's so hard to guess?" Song Jia rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white snow wrist, "The one who completes your sole leadership of an army to the north is not Gu Wuchen, it is Li Zhuo and Li Bing." I really couldn't have imagined that Li Zhuo had met you before he entered Jiangning, and he was so important to you - I have to say that Li Zhuo's ability to know people is better than that of Wenzhuang Gong......"

"......" Lin Jian looked at Song Jia in surprise, the tacit understanding between him and Li Zhuo, there are really few people in the world who can see through it, but I didn't expect her to see through it. Li Zhuo can attach so much importance to himself, in addition to the interview at the mouth of the river, Gao Zongting is an important factor, before Li Zhuo entered Jiangning, Gao Zongting observed the situation for him near Jiangning for a long time.

Gao Zongting, who came out of Xianxia County with Dong Yuan, is actually not weaker than the Five Tigers, but he has always been hidden behind the scenes, and he does not seek fame, and his reputation is not as obvious as that of the Five Tigers.

"......" Song Jia ignored Lin Bin's surprise and continued, "You led your troops into Shandong because of the anger of the Xihe Society, and Tang Gong took the name to go with you. It's just you, Tang Gong I is famous, and if he fails, he is a chaotic minister and thief, but you think he is using power to suppress you. Tang Gong died today for the sake of honor, so he touched Judas for you. Before Tang Gong died, everything was arranged, although it was not good, but he only left a suicide note for Gu Wuchen, but left a blood note for you, didn't he see you thoroughly inside and out? Tang Gong's death is loyal to the Yuan family's court, and leaving a blood letter for you does not necessarily mean that you are loyal to the Yuan family...... It can also be said that Tang Gong begged for death to die for you. If you move lightly, you have failed Tang Gong; Tang Gong doesn't want you to use the Jinhai Grain Road to blackmail the court at this time. ”

Lin Jian looked at Song Jia with his eyes, and secretly said that if he resolutely led the army back to Chongzhou from Yancheng in a fit of anger, he would actually force himself into a corner where there was no way out.

Lin Jian looked at Song Jia and continued.

Song Jia stretched out his hand to pick up his left mane and said, "In the eyes of the officials, the Jinghai Sea Camp is still just a miscellaneous army with good luck, how can it be compared with the water camp weapon of the imperial court in Dengzhou?" The Liang family went west to Shandong, and the Dengzhou water camp was a horn, so they thought that they didn't have to worry about you daring to cut off the Jinhai grain route lightly - in fact, if you moved, the success or failure was only five or five, and there was no more certainty. The key is that you will not be extravagant, this is also something that the temple and the people in the palace see - the Liang family was shocked when they moved, and they did not disappoint the people in the temple and the palace, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the world to understand Tang Gong's will to die...... You are only twenty-three this year, the fifth grade wears scarlet, the third grade wears purple, and the prestige of a county official is supported by the small officials of Puer, and the holy grace is extremely rare, which is rare in two hundred years. If you don't want to be loyal to the court, the Qingliu scholars will scold you, and the peddlers and pawns will look down on you. For the princes of the imperial court, Gu Wuchen and Lin Xuwen are easy to ponder, but you are the most difficult to ponder, so you show favor the most - these are just the self-righteous schemes of the princes of the imperial court and the palace in the palace! ”

"It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart." Lin Jian sighed softly.

Song Jia asked, "Are you praising me or cursing me?" ”

"You go on." Lin Jian said.

"Since the court is coerced by kindness, what good plan do you have besides being loyal?" Song Jia asked, "However, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been separated, and the Liang family can lie dormant in Qinyang for four years, what about you keeping filial piety for Tang Gong for three months?" Whether it is the southeast, the Central Plains or Yanbei, the situation will be initially settled in three months. Tang Gong is determined to die, and the people of Qingzhou are bound to be able to unite sincerely, and the Liang clan will control the Jiaolai River, which is not as easy as they expected, three months is too short for them - three months, is it cruel or cruel, don't you see clearly? ”

Lin Jian sighed slightly, Emperor Chongguan was born and raised in a princely family, Xu learned to deceive himself in order to seek imperial power since he was a child, so he used power to control his subordinates, how could he have a real talent for scheming? The lords of the court are like wolves and tigers, but they don't have the insight of the woman in front of them.

Lin Jian held on to the mud floor, stood up, and said: "Playing with scheming, I may not be the opponent of the temple and the people in the palace, can't Lao Tzu not play with them?" Filial piety is good, and the way to advance and retreat is also," he stretched out his hand to pull Song Jia up, patted the mud on his body, knelt down on the futon, kowtowed three heads, and said to himself, "Tang Gong treats me kindly, I should really keep filial piety in front of your tomb for three months, but time is pressing, I can only kowtow to Tang Gong here for you a few more times." Tang Gong, you have to be loyal to the court, and die for your loyalty, but I have my loyalty. You have your way of seeking death, I have my way of seeking death, maybe it will disappoint you, maybe you will be ruined, this is also a thing that has no choice......"

Song Jia was also in a dark mood, and said secretly: Lin Jian probably never said this to others......

Lin Jian stood up and saw that Zhao Hu was guarding outside the hut for some time, and ordered: "You go down the mountain to announce that from now on for three months, I will keep filial piety for Tang Gong, and I will not see any guests, nor pay attention to official business...... You ask Uncle Mengde and them to come up the mountain, I have something to tell them. ”
