Chapter 294 Entrance to the Palace
"According to the letter, if we return to Beijing within half a month, we should be able to see him for the last time." Jiang Yong looked at Zhang Qinglin with calm eyes.
"You...huh!" Zhang Qinglin snorted coldly and walked away.
He was furious, but he couldn't come out to Jiang Yong. Now, he understands why Jiang Yong chose to retreat under a good situation. But this understanding made him even more angry.
Zhang Qinglin rushed back to his home in the border city, simply packed up the salute, and then set out to return to Beijing. But before going out, he stopped and ran back to the yard to see the rhubarb lying in the dog kennel.
Today's rhubarb is skinny. This last mission seems to have exhausted all its energy. Now it is just waiting to die. It can no longer run and jump.
"Da Huang, I'm going back to Beijing to see my father for the last time. Do you want to go back with me?" Zhang Qinglin said, with a burst of soreness in his heart and tears fell down again. His father can't do it, and rhubarb can't do it either. In his previous home books, he mentioned rhubarb many times. But he has never brought rhubarb home, and his parents have never seen rhubarb.
Hearing the sound, the rhubarb moved his ears and lifted his eyelids to look at Zhang Qinglin. It shouted in a low voice, put out its tongue and licked his palm for a while, then turned its head away and closed its eyes. It is dying, but it doesn't want to die in front of its master. But it has no strength to leave here now. Now the owner has something urgent to travel far away, but it is just right for it.
Zhang Qinglin sighed and stroked the yellow head, neck, back, stomach, tail and limbs carefully before he got up and left.
In the night after Zhang Qinglin left, the rhubarb choked.
In the morning of the next day, Jiang Yong was silent for a moment after receiving the news and said sadly, "Bury it in the tomb forest. It is also a soldier in the northwest."
Jiang Yong left for Beijing only one day later than Zhang Qinglin. After arranging everything, he began to run thousands of miles with the guards around him.
He traveled day and night, changed several horses along the way, and finally returned to the capital in half a month and met the last face of General Manager Zhang.
After that, less than an hour after Jiang Yong entered the city, a royal guard came to Jiang's house and invited him to the palace. Jiang Yong took the order without surprise. On the way, he only went back to Beijing as soon as possible and did not cover up his behavior. Naturally, the emperor can receive the news.
"Master..." When he just saw Wen, whose husband had no time to be happy, he suddenly looked sad and panicked. He grasped his husband's sleeve tightly and did not want to let go. Can he come back after being arrested by these people? As a general in the west, what is the serious crime of leaving his post without permission? Can he... escape?
"Don't worry, everything is fine." Jiang Yong said to Wen with a calm and indifferent face, "Go and bring Cheng'er and Xian'er. I haven't seen them for a long time. I really miss them.
Wen's pale face nodded with tears, and stumbled to hug his son and daughter. Jiang Yong then said to the commander of Qinwei: "Jiang's body is so hospitous. How about asking Rong Jiang to wash up and then go to the palace with you?
The commander-in-chief nodded. Jiang Yong looked more calm and smiled. He went into the inner room to wash and change clothes.
After washing up and changing his court uniform, Jiang Yong followed the royal guard to the palace to see the new emperor.
The new emperor looks much thinner than half a year ago, but more majestic.
"Lord Jiang, why did you leave hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northwest and return to Beijing without authorization?"
"The war in the northwest has been completed, and I led a large army to attack 500 miles of the barbarian territory, and now I have returned to Beijing to restore my life." Jiang Yong responded calmly.
Liu Yu looked at Jiang Yong with a straight waist and couldn't help staring: "Resurreate? Where is the fold of your life?"
"I have brought it, please approve it." Jiang Yong took out the prepared imperial edict from his arms and respectfully raised it above his head: "Since the content of the memorial is really confidential and the overall situation in the northwest is stable, I personally rushed back 800 miles to submit it to the Holy One."
Liu Yu took a deep breath and then took a deep breath, and finally resisted the impulse of the roaring hall and let the father-in-law around him come over to bring Jiang Yong's so-called memorial.
Liu Yu knew why Jiang Yong returned to Beijing, but he always felt a little unbelievable. However, an old slave was about to die. Why did he care so much that he even left the northwest border and rushed back like this? He was angry with Jiang Yong regardless of the importance, but he could not really criminalize him. Because he is at a loss.
On the day of the death of the emperor, Jiang Yong once told Liu Yu that he must block the capital and send heavy troops to guard the gate of the Acropolis, so that people can control many generals of the eldest prince's lineage and put an end to all the possibility of the eldest prince leaving Beijing or forcing him to confess and plotting rebellion.
But Liu Yu did not want to believe that the eldest prince would really raise an army on the day of their father's death. Moreover, his grandmother came to plead for the eldest prince in person, which made Liu Yu decide to leave his brother's life. He and the eldest son can live in harmony with the emperor's grandmother, which must be the blessing of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, although Liu Yu sent troops to block the capital and even control the palace according to Jiang Yong's words, he did not pay enough attention to those generals. He thought clearly that if there were generals and no soldiers, how could they rebel? Therefore, when the eldest prince really led people to the gate, Liu Yu wanted to react again, but it was too late...
Liu Yu finally understood why the emperor could not rest assured him. But the price that made him understand everything was too heavy. He always thinks he is strong enough. But when he really faced the country, he found that he was still too immature.
From the beginning, there was a life-and-death war between him and the eldest prince. Only he naively thought that as long as the two people had the same kind of blood, they could turn war into jade. And his innocence has created an irreparable situation now.
"Your decree has not arrived, and you have returned to Beijing without authorization. Jiang Yong, what should I do with you? Liu Yu had no intention to read the chapter, and his eyes stared at Jiang Yong were extremely complicated. He was grateful for what Jiang Yong had done for him. But he doesn't want to see him.
"Your Majesty, no matter what you do, I am willing to accept the punishment. It's just that I have a merciless request.
"say."
"Please pass the medal first and then deal with the crime of the minister."
Liu Yu turned his eyes to the chapter and slowly opened the cover page. At the beginning, he looked at ten lines, just to be able to read it quickly, so as to send the man in front of him far away again. The northwest is stable, but Lingnan is still unstable. Since he is a wartime general, send him to fight the traitor. Nowadays, the Southern Tang Dynasty needs to rest for several years to calm down the losses caused by this chaos. He was really worried that he didn't have a reliable general to guard Lingnan. But the imperial concubine of Lingnan Jing is Jiang's daughter. Will such a relationship make Jiang Yong selfish? No, he will definitely be selfish! How about this? Will he be sent back to the northwest again? But on the other side of Lingnan, who can be sent to defend it?
Liu Yu's thoughts are in his heart, and his eyes are not focused on the page of the memorial book. However, he subconsciously looked down and got up from the dragon chair. He quickly turned back the page of the book and carefully read the brief but amazing chapter.
Finally, Liu Yu folded the play and looked up at Jiang Yong with a slightly sharp look: "Jiang Yong, is the content on this true?"
Jiang Yong lowered his head and replied, "What I know is all about it."
