From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 313

"Zhang Fei, find two people, take my token to the Fifth Army Camp, and call Li He to me."

"Guan Lu, send someone to invite Xiong Kuohai and Wang Ang, as well as the four commanders of the Five City Military Department, all of them."

While speaking, Zhou Yuan strode inward and shouted, "Mingrui, go and invite Qu Ling."

Everyone was busy, and Zhao Jianjia was also puzzled and asked, "Husband, what happened?"

Zhou Yuan whispered, "Luoyang has fallen, and I will go to the war in a few days. Miss Yan is protecting my family, so you don't have to worry."

Zhao Jianjia's face changed immediately, and she trembled and said, "How long has it been quiet, and we have to go to the war?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Zhang Bailong doesn't play by the rules, and no one can do anything. This is a strong enemy, and the battle in the Central Plains is not easy to fight."

"After Xiong Kuohai comes, you ask them to come to the study to find me."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan took Guan Lu to the study.

He explained the One Whip Method in detail, causing Guan Lu's face to change greatly.

"No, sir! This is... this is not a game! This is a real innovation method, which will be passed down through the ages. How can it be given to others directly?"

Guan Lu could certainly see the value of this One Whip Method.

Zhou Yuan said: "My foundation is too shallow, and I can't withstand the joint suppression of the civil service group. I must find someone to share the pressure with me. Deng Su is ambitious and talented, but Deng Bochi's identity is too sensitive, so he can't be promoted."

"With him helping me to pave the way, I will be much safer."

At this point, he seemed to remember something, so he immediately said: "After you finish writing, immediately find someone to send the letter to Princess Bishui's mansion, and ask her to go to Deng's mansion tomorrow and hand it to Deng Su in person."

Guan Lu nodded and said: "I understand."

Zhou Yuan scratched his head violently , gritted his teeth and said: "This Zhang Bailong is too resourceful. It is difficult for us to deal with him. We must use some special methods."

"You leave a group of people in Shenjing to closely monitor the ministers and royal relatives. Report any disturbance immediately."

"The main thing is that I will make great efforts in the Central Plains, which will definitely cause huge controversy. I can't let anything happen to my rear."

Guan Lu said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, except for the Jinyiwei and the Nei Tingsi, our intelligence can be infiltrated."

"Start writing!"

While Zhou Yuan was reading, Guan Lu began to write.

A moment later, Xiong Kuohai and others had arrived.

"What's so urgent that you called me here too?"

Qu Ling was a little emotional, but she also guessed that something big might have happened.

Xiong Kuohai said: "I just received the news. Luoyang fell, Kaifeng is in danger, and the Central Plains has been overturned for several months."

Wang Ang couldn't help but change color and said: "Ye Mian hasn't arrived in the Central Plains yet, maybe he's on the way. The current head of the Central Plains Jinyiwei is Xiao Que, the captain of Kaifeng Prefecture, who was formerly the captain of Lin'an Prefecture."

"Originally, he should have been in the Northern Pacification Division in a year or two."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xiong, spread the word immediately that an unidentified assassin organization has appeared in Shenjing, and officials have been assassinated Let the officials of Shenjing try to go to the house in the past two days. "Zhou Yuan smiled and sighed:" I want to send them a wealth of wealth and see if they can take it. "Qu Ling wondered:" So what can I do? Ting's attitude towards the Central Plains. "" Find someone to write an article, indicating that the court will not support the Central Plains in a short time, but will send troops after the autumn harvest. " "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, "Kill people, kill the gentry."

Xiong Kuohai thought about it, and suddenly his face changed drastically. He said in shock, "No! Zhou Yuan, the court will never agree to start a militia! The previous dynasty destroyed the country, and our dynasty will never repeat the same mistake."

Zhou Yuan said, "Whether you agree or not, it's up to your majesty to decide. To kill all the gentry in the Central Plains, we must do this to defend Kaifeng."

The so-called militia, in essence, is to allow the gentry class to raise private soldiers and let them fight against the rebels themselves.

The reason why the previous dynasty fell into chaos was because all the nobles had private soldiers, and as the scale gradually grew,After that, he became a local emperor, and the central government's ability to govern declined and lost its prestige.

Mingrui shouted outside: "Son-in-law, Lord Li is here."

Li He also hurried over, and was stunned when he saw the room full of people.

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Li He, go back and organize a meeting of the chief officers in the camp to prepare for war as quickly as possible. In these few days, we will send troops to the Central Plains."

"The matter must be kept confidential. Give the soldiers three days of home leave, and then reorganize the army immediately."

"I am in a hurry and will not go to the barracks in these three days. You have to hurry up and do it."

Li He's figure was shocked, and he immediately lost his voice: "Send troops to the Central Plains? Are we going to suppress bandits?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry about so much, just do it when I ask you to do it. Take out all the family assets in weapons and armor, and I will worry about other aspects."

After he explained the arrangements in detail, it was already the middle of the night.

"Brothers, the Wucheng Army has been baptized by war. They have been training non-stop on weekdays, and their combat effectiveness is no longer the same as before."

"After the five military camps leave the capital, you must work together to protect the capital."

"Once there is any disturbance, your biggest task is to protect His Majesty."

Hong Bo, Liu Daguang and others looked at each other and roared, "Don't worry, boss, we will live and die with His Majesty."

Xiong Kuohai said, "The Central Plains is complicated. You have to bring more masters. I'm afraid that martial arts masters will come to assassinate."

Hearing the word "assassination", everyone's scalp tingled. After all, Zhou Yuan had been assassinated several times, especially the time when he just arrived in the capital, the situation was extremely serious.

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, I will not give the other party any chance again after learning from the previous experience."

After speaking, he clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, there are still a few days before I leave Shenjing. If you have anything to add in the next few days, you must say it."

"The matter is urgent. There may be many aspects where I have missed something. I need you to check and fill in the gaps."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

After a while, Guan Lu whispered: "My lord, the letter has been sent to Princess Bishui's mansion. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that the result will be known at noon tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and sighed: "That's it for now. Everyone, take a rest. I still have things to do, so I won't keep you."

Then everyone dispersed one after another. They also had things to prepare.

Qu Ling said, "I won't go back tonight. I'll sleep here."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "You go find Jianjia. She will make the arrangements. I'll sleep in the study these days."

In fact, he couldn't sleep at all. The problem about Zhongyuan came too suddenly. He had to follow his plan and deduce it several times to see what was out of his control.
