Chapter 57: The Envoy (II)

Hongze Town, Jiedu Envoy Du Gongzhen and his subordinate strategist Zhu Xin and others were talking.

"Dashuai, the secret agent we sent has found out the news of Wang Zhen, although Wang Zunzhi is dead, but the defense is tight, the deployment is proper, and it is really invulnerable for a while. Zhu Xin took out a secret report and said.

Du Gongzhen took the secret letter, read it, stood up again, and walked back and forth in the lobby, Wang Zhen's current strength had made him suffer from the enemy on his back and brought heavy strategic pressure.

"The contact with our front line is Luchuan County, and now it is governed by Hu Ce, this person was originally the imperial court's Zhengwupin Supervision Army, and now he has taken refuge in the feudal town and has become Zhengqipin, naturally no one dares to disagree, there is no flaw to catch in terms of popularity and qualifications, and Hu Ce's son Hu He is said to be a Jiupin Gong Cao Si in Jishui County, which is equivalent to a hostage, and it is difficult to shake Hu Ce. ”

"In addition to the box soldiers in Luchuan County, there are also Zhang Yi and He Sheng, each with one guard, all of whom are promoted by Wang Hongyi, and it is difficult to shake them. ”

"What about Changding Mansion, does that Wang Yan have a chance?"

"No, Wang Yan is Wang Hongyi's uncle and prefect, and he is very satisfied with Wang Hongyi, so there is no reason to hesitate against the water no matter whether he talks about public or private. ”

"Changding Mansion now has two guards, one guard is Chai Jia, and he is also the core figure promoted by Wang Hongyi, and one person is the original deputy commander Gu Xu, and now he is the captain of the first guard, this person may have a chance, but in Changding Mansion, it is difficult to shake him. ”

"There are not many counties in this Changding County now, and the population is not large, but there are not many flaws. ”

"On the contrary, Wenyang Mansion and Jishui County are represented by Xue Yuan, which shows that some qualifications are insufficient, but Jishui County was founded by Wang Hongyi, and Xue Yuan is the earliest person from it, so there will be no big problems. ”

"Xingshan County is under the jurisdiction of Heyi, the general of Changcedu, and Donglan County is the jurisdiction of Zhang Yunxin, the general of Shachengdu, but in Wenyang Mansion, it is obvious that some ministers are strong and weak, but now the problem is not big. ”

"The general situation is that since Wang Zhen led General Dingyuan, although some people's hearts are fluctuating, there is no big problem, if there is no internal response, it will be difficult for us to shake it under the coercion of Wei Cundong. ”

At this time, there was silence in the lobby for a while, Du Gongzhen tightened his eyebrows, thinking.

At this time, a voice broke the silence: "Dashuai, the envoy of the Li family in Wang Zhen asks to see you!"

Du Gongzhen's face changed, he stood up, and looked at the strategist Zhu Xin, a wonderful premonition suddenly appeared, and Du Gongzhen said: "Biography!"

After less than half a cup of tea, a messenger came in, describing Junwei, who seemed to be a big husband, he entered the hall, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Below is the staff of the Li family, serve my master, meet the handsome!"

Du Gongzhen saw that this envoy looked extraordinary, and he liked it in his heart, and said with a smile: "You get up, it seems that you are the eldest husband, I don't know what is going on?"

"Please stay away, please look at something. The man said.

Du Gongzhen snorted, let the left and right retreat, leaving only Zhu Xin, and said: "This is my confidant, you can say it." ”

The messenger didn't insist, carefully took out an object from his back, and slowly unfolded it: "Look, handsome!"

Du Gongzhen and the strategist Zhu Xin looked at it, and suddenly there was a golden light in front of them, and they opened their mouths wide, only to see this volume of holy decrees, three feet long and one foot wide, with golden silk silk, and among the hands on both sides, there are two symmetrical flying dragons, and there is a four-character Yin script in the middle.

"Please watch!" Of course, the envoy did not take any identity as a messenger, and handed it over respectfully.

Zhu Xin went down, pressed his thoughts, took it up, and handed it to Du Gongzhen, although Du Gongzhen was the marshal of a feudal town, his hand was still a little trembling when he took it.

The imperial decree has its own sacred and inviolable majesty, although the Song family has declined, but it is still the world.

Unfold it, it is the content of the holy decree written, to the effect that Wang Zunzhi is perverse, self-proclaimed general Dingyuan, and governs the two counties, which is a provocation to the authority of the imperial court, so he ordered the Li family to crusade against the rebels, and the surrounding towns can be discussed by all.

Finally, there is the inscription and the seal of the "Treasure of Destiny".

According to the imperial court system, the emperor's seal has seven seals, which are "heirloom jade seals".

The jade seal of the country is four inches in circumference, and the five dragons are handed over to New York, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang"!

There are also "Emperor's Seal", "Emperor's Seal", "Emperor's Letter Seal", "Son of Heaven's Seal", "Son of Heaven's Seal", "Son of Heaven's Seal"

Later, it was simplified into three seals and one treasure, the so-called three seals, that is, "the jade seal of the country", "the seal of the dynasty", "the seal of the son of heaven", and "the treasure of the fate".

"The seal of the dynasty" is carved after the establishment of the dynasty by Taizu, and its words must be "Da Mou (the name of the dynasty) is ordained, the seal of the town", for example, this dynasty is "the seal of the town and the country is ordered", all the appointment and dismissal of titles and official positions, as well as the transfer of troops and other formal holy decrees, are issued from this seal.

"The Son of Heaven Dexi" is a matter of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and is only used in ghosts and gods.

This treasure of life is a private seal, although it also has legal effect, but it is not the right purpose.

After reading it, Du Gongzhen's mood calmed down, his face was majestic, and he glanced at the visitor, and said, "Your Li family is a courtier of Wang Zhen, what does it mean to ask for this holy decree?"

"Dashuai, if Wang Zunzhi and Wang Hongyi are the marshals of the imperial court, we are loyal ministers, but the Wang family has gone against the grain, turned their backs on the court, and established their own names, but we refuse to obey. The messenger arched his hand and said: "And the will has been given, the name of the rebellion of the Wang clan has been decided, and the imperial court and county will not let such a clan rule......

Speaking of this, the envoy paused: "What's more, what Wang Hongyi has now is not a mansion. ”

After speaking, the envoy looked at the upper seat Du Gongzhen.

Hearing this, Du Gongzhen pondered, what this person said was right, now that Wang Hongyi is under the jurisdiction of the two counties, the intention of this envoy is obvious.

If there is only one mansion, the Li family is not so stupid, inviting him in, he must just want to borrow a knife, but now there is more Changding Mansion, but things are different.

No matter how great the potential of the Li family is, it is impossible to swallow the second town in one bite, Changding Mansion is adjacent to Hongze Mansion, if this mansion is swallowed, the territory of Hongze Town will be doubled, such a beautiful thing, he can't be moved.

After thinking for a moment, Du Gong Zhenfang said, "In addition to the holy decree, are there any other letters?"

Seeing this, the envoy had already known the other party's intentions, and handed over a handwritten letter from Li Cunyi to Du Gongzhen.

Unfolded the letter, and after reading it carefully, Du Gongzhen laughed and said: "The Li family is really happy, and they want to divide the two counties with me.

The envoy hurriedly said: "I also ask the marshal to transfer troops to the border, which will make the whole town frightened and make a series of deployments, and my Li family will take advantage of the opportunity to move." ”

"That's right!" Du Gong was really happy, and immediately ordered a banquet, and a group of singers even stepped up to the hall and danced to the music.

At Du Gongzhen's suggestion, two extremely beautiful girls came to the messenger and persuaded him to drink.

When the messenger had completed his task, he was overjoyed and did not refuse, and when he saw that everyone on the left and right was flirting with the dancer, he seemed to hesitate, but then he laughed with the girl.

Taisu County, the county government "Madam, what's wrong with you?" The woman who had just been lying down in the inner courtyard suddenly got up and vomited on the ground. The faces of the few servant maids who were bluffing changed greatly.

"It's just a little nauseous, it's fine. Wang Jieting straightened up with the help of the maid and sat on the couch, his face was like a blank piece of paper.

Seeing this, some servants went to find Langzhong, and the rest of the people packed up and were anxious.

After a while, Yilangzhong hurried over, and when he saw Wang Jieting's appearance, he was also startled, and hurriedly said, "Madam, but what's uncomfortable?"

Wang Jieting frowned and said, "These days, I am a little anorexic, and I will vomit some food." ”

When Lang Zhong heard this, a thought flashed in his mind, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time, so he only said: "Please let the old man check your pulse." ”

After a careful diagnosis, when he got up again, Lang Zhong was already happy.

"Congratulations, madam, you are not sick, you are happy. ”

"Are you happy?" After hearing this, the servants were stunned at first, and they were all overjoyed.

You must know that the lord and noble can serve the glory, their group of slaves, all married to the Li family, now that the old handsome is dead, if you want to return to the Wang family, you can't, you have to fight for a future in this Li family, and ask for a stable life.

All this has a lot to do with whether the lady's position is stable or not, and if the lady loses her status, they will not escape their fate.

Although the relationship between the lady and the couple is quite good, it has been nearly two years since the marriage, and the young lady's stomach still has no movement, which has made the Li family complain a lot about this room.

If there are no more heirs, within three years, I am afraid that the status of my wife will be in jeopardy in this Li family.

“...... The child ......" was different from the servant woman's ecstasy, stroking her abdomen, Wang Jieting lay on the bed, but she was a little distracted.

In just a moment, she recalled her husband's gloomy face some time ago, and recalled the ambiguous attitude of persuading her to be virtuous and virtuous every time the old lady summoned her.

These humiliations are all because she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Li family in time, even if her husband has the ability, if no heir is born, he will also be criticized.

At this time, Lang Zhong had already told the servants in detail about the things he had paid attention to, and after getting paid, he went back with a smile on his face.

"Remember, before the young master comes back, no one can talk about this outside, otherwise the family law will serve. Looking around, Wang Jieting said solemnly.

Li Chengye went out of the city to train his troops, which naturally attracted most of the attention!

The servants and maids all responded, even so, Wang Jieting was uneasy, so he took a carriage and rushed to the temple not far from the county to burn incense again.

Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and looking at the smoke, she closed her eyes and prayed softly. She was full of surprise and uneasiness about this sudden heir.

As the righteous daughter of the Wang family, Wang Jieting naturally knows the current situation, and the Wang family and the Li family are about to fight a decisive battle in front of her.

However, with a child, her natural balance is completely tilted to the Li family.

"Child, you were born at this time, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing, and please ask the Buddha to bless my son, bless my husband, and bless the Li family!" silently said his wish, Wang Jieting bowed respectfully.

The majestic Buddha statue looks downward, as if it is really looking at its sincere prayer.
