Chapter 119 (Stability comes first)

nything. It's just that we pay special attention to longevity noodles. Later, the princess asks the kitchenette to cook a bowl of noodles for him, and there is no need to point out that they are longe...when Chen Jingzong and other avant-garde troops led by King Yu, Guo Jixian and a group of fallen troops retreated out of the mountain, they met Ling Rucheng's army on the way.

counter-insurgency is finally over and morale is high.

it's just that Jinwu avant-garde and Kaiju guard suffered heavy losses, especially since Jinwu avant-garde was almost wiped out, and Qi Jin was seriously injured, Ling Rucheng had to spend some time to comfort her.

until night fell, the army camped in a mountain cove, and after dinner, Ling Rucheng finally had some time alone.

after staying alone for almost an hour, he took advantage of the night to summon Chen Jingzong secretly to see him.

the handsome man only ordered a piece of red wax that burned so little that it was only half burned.

when Chen Jingzong came in, he found that Ling Rucheng was the only one in the account. The 50-year-old coach took off his armor and wore only a simple dark robe.

seeing Chen Jingzong, Ling Rucheng waved and motioned to the young Ye Ma to sit next to him.

Chen Jingzong sat over.

Ling Rucheng pointed to the two bowls of wine on the low table and said, "when you get old, you can't drink any more wine. Just these two bowls, we drink slowly and chat slowly."

he was born in Jinshi, with an air of civil elegance, which was not obvious when he put on his armor. He was dressed in robes and spoke in an easygoing tone, but more like an approachable elder.

Chen Jingzong nodded, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

candlelight illuminates his young and handsome face.

Ling Rucheng and Chen Tingjian are scholars of the same subject. Ling Rucheng knew Chen Tingjian as early as when he could only look up to other senior officials, so Ling Rucheng easily found the shadow of Shoufu's youth in Chen Jingzong's face.

Chen Tingjian has a kind of majestic integrity. Even when he has to keep a low profile, Chen Tingjian is neither humble nor arrogant.

Ling Rucheng feels that Chen Jingzong is more flamboyant, but the righteousness of father and son comes down in a continuous line.

"I always have old friends with the cabinet. How about I only call you Shiro tonight" Ling Rucheng asked with a smile.

Chen Jingzong: "it is an honor for the old man of our family to make old friends with heroes like you."

had it not been for tonight's secret conversation, Ling Rucheng would have laughed three times based on Chen Jingzong's words.

"Don't say that to Shiro. I can only lead troops. When it comes to Xiong Tao's ability to help the country, I am far from as old as the cabinet."

Chen Jingzong: "forget it, don't mention him."

Ling Rucheng nodded, smiled, looked at Chen Jingzong and said, "you said earlier that the rebels had caught a scout and learned from the scout that you would pass through Baiheling, so they sent troops to ambush in advance. I have already checked that the scout caught is Wang San, the scout I sent out to monitor Jinwu avant-garde according to your instructions. "

Chen Jingzong: "Wang San should have been arrested last night so that the rebels had time to arrange an ambush." But Wang San has been following Jinwu avant-garde, more secretive than 5,000 men. There is no reason why the rebels found the scout, but they did not find Jinwu avant-garde. Instead, they had to wait until this morning to attack Jinwu avant-garde. "

Ling Rucheng: "maybe the rebels found Jinwu avant-garde and scouts at the same time, and guessed that there were other vanguards, so they deliberately caught a scout and learned that you had also entered the mountain, so of course they had to catch you alive. If you first deal with the avant-garde of Jinwu or other vanguards and alert you to be on your guard first, won't you lose the big because of the small "

Chen Jingzong's lips.

Ling Rucheng: "how do you explain why you guessed that the rebels would be ambushed and why you suspected that the eight vanguard armies might collude with the enemy"

Chen Jingzong: "I'm just being too cautious, just in case."

Ling Rucheng: "but in the end, you made meritorious service with Jiyang Wei, but it was Jinwu avant-garde who was almost wiped out. Jinwu avant-garde, the biggest victim, had the most reason to suspect that someone was collaborating with the enemy." At this time, if Jin Wu's avant-garde knew that the scout I had sent to follow them, who do you think they would suspect "

Chen Jingzong frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "they will suspect that you deliberately induced the rebels to ambush me in Baiheling, and then told me in advance to be on guard and deliberately give me a chance to perform meritorious service, because you and the old man are old friends, and if you do so, either you are willing to take care of me, or you are entrusted by the old man. At the same time, they will also suspect that you deliberately let the scouts reveal the avant-garde route of Jinwu, so as to get rid of Qi Jin with the help of the rebels, except for the only nephew of the Empress Dowager's family who can serve the emperor. Of course, the old man must have instructed you to do this. "

Ling Rucheng looked heavy: "that's it. It has too much to do with it. Even if the court suppresses the rebellion of the King of Henan, there will be a bloody storm in the court."

Chen Jingzong lowered his eyes: "I was so presumptuous that I handed the handle to the other party."

Ling Rucheng shook his head, looked at him and said, "it has nothing to do with you, it's the person who hides behind this time is too ruthless."

Chen Jingzong: "do you have any suspicious targets"

Ling Rucheng: "first of all, when I arranged for eight scouts, I only let them know the route of the vanguard they wanted to monitor. If Wang San followed Jiyang Wei, he might be able to mistakenly hit and find the trail of Daxing left-back, but he followed Jinwu avant-garde, and it was impossible to run into Daxing left-back. Even if Wang San turns into a confession, he can only confess the avant-garde route of Jinwu. "

Chen Jingzong: "those who know the avant-garde route and have the opportunity to leak secrets to the rebels, only the two commanders of Jinwu avant-garde and Kaizhou guard can be found on the march."

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});

Ling Rucheng: "according to the scouts monitoring Kaizhouwei, there was no change in the whole process, and the traitor must have been in Jinwu avant-garde, or Qi Jin, or someone under Qi Jin managed to find out the marching route of the eight avant-garde armies. When that man went to tip off the rebels last night, he probably found Wang San following him on the road, so he killed Wang San, and then temporarily exposed Jinwu's avant-garde route, so as to wash away the suspicion of Jinwu's avantgarde. "

Chen Jingzong is silent.

Ling Rucheng: "have you ever thought about why the man hiding in the avant-garde of Jinwu wants to frame you"

Chen Jingzong certainly thought that Qi Jin coveted Huayang and got rid of him. If Huayang became a widow, Qi Jin would have a chance.

but Huayang has been married to him for four years, during which time he has hardly had any contact with Qi Jin. Who would believe that Qi Jin would ignore the lives of thousands of soldiers for this reason

Ling Ru's achievement didn't think about this at all. He said anxiously, "I'm afraid that the real goal of that man is the old man, and they want to capture you alive, and then threaten the old man with your life. If the old man ordered me to withdraw troops for you, the whole Chen family will become the target of public criticism. If Lao GE abandons you and the white-haired man himself ruins his son's life, does he still have the energy to continue to adhere to his reform "

Chen Jingzong looked at the flames jumping on the table.

Qi Jin wanted him dead, and the rebels arranged an ambush to intimidate the old man.

it's just that even if Chen Jingzong is killed in the war, he will never give the rebels a chance to take him hostage.

Ling Rucheng has explained the situation clearly. Looking at Chen Jingzong, who has been silent for a long time, he sighed and said faintly: "if it is exposed that we have arranged scouts to monitor eight avant-garde armies, exposing the doubts of Jinwu's avant-garde, and handing over the remaining 324 of Jinwu's avant-garde to the empress dowager, the emperor and even the court for trial, then the culprits behind the scenes and those ministers who are covetously looking at the cabinet will certainly take advantage of the opportunity to hurt the old cabinet. Falsely accusing the Pavilion of colluding with me to get rid of Qi Jin and control the power of the young emperor. "

"Shiro, there are many generals in the court, not without me, and I am not afraid to return to the field or go to prison. But I only have your father in several generations, a great sage who dares to confront the whole decadent officialdom. You and I cannot put the cabinet in jeopardy for the sake of the moment. "

Chen Jingzong understands: "how do you plan to end up"

Ling Rucheng: "I only said that I arranged scouts to go into the mountains to search for rebel hideouts. Wang San was unfortunately captured by the rebels, revealing the whereabouts of Daxing left-back." I have already told the other seven scouts, and they are all reliable people, and they dare not talk nonsense, otherwise they will not escape suspicion if they are really investigated, and no one knows whether they have really followed the vanguard all the time. "

"you happened to meet Ji Yangwei, and because you were careful enough to break the rebel ambush. On the avant-garde side of Jinwu, it was only because of being too close to the rebels that he was unfortunately besieged. "

"in this case, we first let the avant-garde of Jinwu go, and the other side is guilty of being a thief, and they dare not take the initiative to expose their suspicion of framing Daxing left-back."

"on Guo Jixian's side, it is impossible for him to know who secretly gave them the message, and the confessions of the rebel generals and other rebels you caught were all that night when Guo Jixian and King Jingwang caught a scout. Even if Guo Jixian temporarily changed his mouth, he would only be regarded as framed and bitten."

"Shiro, in order to keep the overall situation stable, we can only bear it for a while."

from the beginning to the end, Ling Rucheng did not say which person he suspected of being avant-garde, which shows that he did not want to get involved too much.

Chen Jingzong can understand.

even if he knew it was Qi Jin, he simply did not have enough evidence to produce evidence that Qi Jin could not be convicted at all. Qi Jin could still falsely accuse Ling Rucheng of colluding with the old man and conspiring to murder the mother family of Empress Dowager Qi.

the matter can only go so far, he can only wait for Qi Jin to shoot next time, and then get the stolen goods.

as for Huayang, there is no hard evidence at all. What can he identify Qi Jin with her Jinwu avant-garde is still alive more than 300 people, those more than 300 people are suspected, not just Qi Jin.

even if Huayang believed that Qi Jin liked her so much that even the imperial court could betray her, he liked to kill her horse and the entire Daxing left guard by the hands of the rebels. Later, in order to get rid of the disgust, Qi Jinlian's avant-garde five thousand soldiers who risked his life and death could all be used to watch them die in vain at the hands of the rebels. Chen Jingzong did not want her to know about this.

he was afraid that Huayang would blame her for the death of him and Daxing left-back in his dream, and he was afraid that Huayang would blame himself for the death of 4700 Jinwu avant-garde soldiers.

she is a princess, proud enough, but she also has the softness rarely seen by other royal relatives.

but she doesn't have to blame herself. All this has nothing to do with her. It's all about Qi Jin's ambition.

in addition, Chen Jingzong was more afraid that Huayang would confront Qi Jin because he trusted him too much, or complain to the Empress Dowager Qi, even if Huayang only politely implied that the Empress Dowager Qi or the Shao Emperor was estranged from Qi Jin, such strange actions that could not explain the reasons would also arouse the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Qi.

when Empress Dowager Qi married her daughter in order to win over the Chen family, once Huayang was on guard against the mother family for the sake of the Chen family, the Empress Dowager Qi would suspect that her daughter had been bewitched by the Chen family and foolishly turned her elbow out.

since ancient times, married daughters have been in a dilemma.

she has lost her father, and Chen Jingzong can no longer let her break her heart with her own mother.nd that it was the two of them who came in, more or less embarrassed.what she and Chen Jingzong did were accustomed to Chaoyun and Chaoyue. Their masters and servants didn't take each other seriously...
