Chapter 554 Discussing Leaving Beijing
"rebellion?"
When he heard the news from Lin Ning, Li Beifeng's eyes suddenly shrank, but soon his expression returned to calmness. Admittedly, this news shocked Li Beifeng quite a bit, but when he thought about it again, some things seemed to have changed. Of course, "That's right!"
Lin Ning showed a bit of worry on his face and said in a deep voice: "Young master, you sent your subordinates to Jiangnan this time. They traveled day and night. Finally, they arrived at several cities and counties in Jiangnan some time ago. After investigation, we soon discovered some unusual things from Jiangnan..."
Speaking of this, Lin Ning's face became more solemn: "The situation in the Jiangnan area... is very serious!"
"What's the meaning?
Li Beifeng asked, "Jiangnan... I'm afraid it has begun to escape from the control of the DPRK!" Lin Ning said in a deep voice, his voice worried and a little afraid. In recent years, the DPRK's control over Jiangnan has become weaker and weaker. Yu Gongchao has been trying to strengthen the control of Jiangnan over the years, but this time Lin Ning rushed to Jiangnan in person, only to learn that Jiangnan is like "Jiangnan area has almost been controlled by powerful families, and the people themselves are under the control of the famous families..." Even the people of Jiangnan "At the same time, the families in Jiangnan do have their own troops, and almost all their troops and horses fall into the hands of those families..."
As if he thought of something terrible, Lin Ning's face showed!
"The entire Jiangnan area has almost subconsciously taken action against me, Dacao... During the days when my subordinates were in Jiangnan, through Suo.
He went to Jiangnan this time, and truly realized what it means to be a mountain-high emperor. The Jiangnan area is far away from the capital city, and major decrees can hardly reach Jiangnan there. The aristocratic family's right to speak is more useful than that of the government in the Jiangnan area. Almost all of them are under the control of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family can almost appoint and remove regional officials at will, control the regional economy and discussion, and can almost be said to have become a local emperor. The entire Jiangnan region would be under the control of the aristocratic family. If it were not for the fact that Jiangnan is located in the water boundary, bordering the mainland , I am afraid that Jiangnan has almost become a new country. When he first learned of this news, Lin Ning felt that it was terrible to break out in cold sweat. At this moment, Lin Ning said in a deep voice: "My subordinates worked hard and almost lost their lives. In Jiangnan, I finally found some real clues: "Behind those aristocratic families, there is almost always one person..."
Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Prince Nan?"
"That's right!"
There was a hint of shock in Lin Ning's eyes: "The person behind each family is none other than Prince Nan!"
"That Prince Nan has received support and help from almost all the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River... Under the hint of Prince Nan, they have been secretly raising troops and training them over the years, and have almost enveloped the entire counties in Jiangnan into one section." I also investigated that although Prince Nan has been traveling around the world in recent years, he has been secretly recruiting troops and stocking up on grain and armor... Everything he has done has only one purpose..."
"rebel!"
"That Prince Nan has rebellious intentions!!"
Lin Ning finally reported all the information he got during his trip to Jiangnan. When he learned the truth, he felt cold and trembling all over. Is Prince Nan planning to rebel?
If he really succeeds, things may change!
Therefore, after learning the news, Lin Ning had no hesitation and hurried back to the capital at starry night to bring the news back...
At this time, after listening to Lin Ning's words, Li Beifeng fell into a brief silence. Prince Nan has rebelled!
This result was expected by him. Li Beifeng squinted his eyes slightly, and the appearance of Prince Nan emerged in his mind. When he first met him, the prince looked amiable and charitable, more like a prince. The gentle old man is just...
And the old man?
Li Beifeng gently shook his head, Prince Nan, but it was he who led the cavalry to break through the gate of Beiwen Kingdom and destroy Northern Qi. He could be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How could he destroy a country? What kind of charitable person is he?
After all, he was the murderer who destroyed Beiqi with his own hands, and he should be Beiqi's number one enemy!
Perhaps it was for this reason that when Li Beifeng met the prince for the first time, he had no favorable impression of him. More importantly, Li Beifeng had learned from Murong Die that the prince was not a simple man. From then on, Li Beifeng began to doubt him while traveling around the mountains and rivers, but secretly raised Murong Die, who secretly recruited talented people for him. Now it seems that, as expected, Prince Nan has been evil from the beginning. It's right not to die. The prince who single-handedly destroyed Northern Qi back then had a higher prestige than the original emperor. He could have occupied Northern Qi and established himself as king, or he could lead a large cavalry and force the emperor to abdicate and make way for someone worthy. But in the end, he chose Resigning from all positions, giving up all power and choosing to travel around and live in seclusion... How could he be willing to do so?
A normal person would not be able to do such a thing as long as his brain was not kicked by a donkey. Prince Nan obviously does not look like a person who was kicked in the head by a donkey, so the only explanation is...he is planning something. Sure enough, Emperor Jia It had only been a few days since the news came out. Logically speaking, it might not have spread to the south of the Yangtze River. The prince had already realized that there was only one possibility...
I'm afraid there is an eyeliner of that prince in the palace. If this is the case, then everything can be solved. I am even afraid that the figure of Prince Nan is indispensable behind the recent spread of rumors about Zhao Jingfu. At this moment, Li Beifeng seemed to be thinking of something. He turned around. Staring at Lin Ning: "He has already raised an army?"
Lin Ning replied: "Before my subordinates came back, they had already noticed that various aristocratic families had begun to mobilize their troops... If nothing unexpected happens, he is probably going to raise an army in the near future. Once the army starts, the Jiangnan area will immediately be completely revolted. Then the south will be completely revolted. I am afraid that the prince's troops will approach the capital in a few days. "Sir, this matter is of great importance. Do you want to inform the eldest princess..."
Lin Ning looked a little anxious. Although he had decided to follow Li Beifeng, after all, as a member of Tiansi, Lin Ning still had a sense of belonging to the Great Master. After learning that Prince Nan was about to rebel, he still hesitated to tell the elders about this. Princess Li Beifeng narrowed her eyes slightly and waved her hand: "No need!"
"ah?"
Lin Ning had a somewhat puzzled look on her face: "Sir, then..."
"She is no longer in the capital!"
Li Beifeng shook his head, "The princess is not in the capital anymore?"
Lin Ning was surprised at first, and then realized what was going on. On his way back to Beijing, he had already learned the news about the emperor’s ascension to the throne. The prince and the eldest princess were not on good terms. He naturally knew that now that the prince had ascended the throne, the eldest princess would probably "then... Sir, what should we do next?”
Since the eldest princess is no longer in the capital, Lin Ning naturally obeys Li Beifeng's command: "You have worked hard too, go and rest first, and I will make arrangements later!"
Li Beifeng looked at Lin Ning, who was tired from all the work, and didn't say much. He just asked him to go and have a good rest first. After Lin Ning left, Li Beifeng continued to squint his eyes, thinking about the impact of the news that Lin Ning had brought. Prince Nan had rebelled. !
According to Lin Ning, all the aristocratic families in the Jiangnan region are standing behind Prince Nan, which means that the entire Jiangnan region has almost fallen into the hands of Prince Nan. The Jiangnan region is no less important than the Great Beizhou, Zhongzhou and Nanzhou. Any state in the state, and as a large economic center, the Jiangnan area has excellent land and is an important area for food production. Once Prince Nan rebels, the entire Jiangnan area will be in his hands. For the country, whether it is food or economy They were all severely damaged, and from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital of Zhongzhou, it can be said that the terrain is almost flat. If no precautions are taken in advance, once the Prince of Nan launches his troops, it can be said to be overwhelming, and it will be impossible to defeat the enemy. If the enemy responds slowly, it will be too late. Deploy troops and generals to deal with it, and I am afraid that we can even approach the capital city within half a month. By then, it will be dangerous!
but…
This is a good opportunity for Li Beifeng and Beiqi!
What a great opportunity!
Thinking of this, Li Beifeng's eyes lit up slightly. He had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity for a major civil strife. If the country was peaceful, Northern Qi would never be able to stand up again. How could a bunch of rabble resist a powerful elite force?
But if Da fell into civil strife, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Northern Qi. Therefore, after Zhao Jing murdered the emperor, Li Beifeng's first thought was to kill Zhao Jing. Once Zhao Jing died, Da lost his heir and would surely fall into a struggle for power in the royal family. As long as it operates well during the civil strife, it is a pity that the entire metropolis will fall into chaos. Zhao Ying stopped him, so Li Beifeng could only turn to the next best thing and place his hope on the emperor. As long as the emperor wakes up, he will also have the opportunity to disrupt the metropolis. However, these are not enough after all!
If you want to shake the bones and shake the foundation, you need more opportunities. And the news of Prince Nan's rebellion is obviously the best opportunity!
Prince Nan, who is a self-respecting soldier, has been planning for so many years and has been eyeing the throne. Once he sends troops, he will definitely plunge the country into war. At that time, Zhao Jing will definitely find a way to suppress his uncle. Fang was caught in a melee and stalemate, ignoring Beizhou in the north. This was his best opportunity for Northern Qi!
It’s also the only chance!
Li Beifeng's eyes were determined that the time was ripe for the restoration of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
…
"What? You're leaving the capital in two days?"
When Shen Qing heard the news, she was obviously a little surprised: "So soon?
"That's right, the sooner the better, it's not a good place to stay for a long time!"
Li Beifeng nodded, "What's going on? What happened?"
Shen Qing had a look of confusion on his face before he learned from Li Beifeng that he planned to leave the capital. Unexpectedly, Li Beifeng mentioned the matter again in the evening. What happened to Li Yu in such a hurry?
"The capital is going to be in chaos!"
Li Beifeng spoke softly: "We have to leave here quickly to avoid being affected!"
"A mess?"
Shen Qing became even more confused: "What's going on?"
"I just received news that Prince Nan from the Jiangnan area is about to rebel..."
"rebellion?!
Hearing this, Shen Qing was suddenly startled, his eyelids twitched suddenly, his eyes were wide and he couldn't believe it: "The prince wants to rebel?"
"That's right, so we need to get out of here quickly!"
Li Beifeng nodded, "Yuan, so that's it..."
Shen Qing nodded blankly, his heart already shocked. Rebellion?
I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing in my lifetime. “Then, what should I do?”
"So we have to leave here and go to Beizhou. Beizhou is safe for the time being!"
Is it safe for Li Beifeng to open his mouth in Beizhou?
Although I don’t know why, after all, Li Beifeng said before that he was going to Beizhou, and Shen Qing could still understand. She nodded slightly: "It’s okay to go to Beizhou, but what about Sister Su? Still, I still have my heart. Where is my sister?”
"Xinyi will go to Beizhou with us. As for Su..."
Li Beifeng hesitated for a moment and then said, "We'll try to persuade her later. It's best to persuade her to come with us." Li Beifeng still felt uneasy about leaving Su alone in the capital. "That's good!" "
Shen Qing nodded. She had nothing to remember in the capital. If Sister Su went to Beizhou with her, that would be great. "And, what about my father?!"
Shen Qing suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Beifeng with a worried look on his face: "You, you said that the prince was going to rebel, then, what about my father?
Speaking of this, Li Beifeng also frowned slightly. He overlooked this point. Jiangnan is not far from Nanzhou. Once the prince of Nan rebelled, he would definitely start from Nanzhou and go all the way north. Shen Yuanwai, who stayed in Chaoyang, might not be safe!
"I will write a letter later to inform your father of what is about to happen, so that he can prepare early and it is best to leave Nanzhou first."
Li Beifeng thought for a while and said. Shen Qing was slightly relieved when he heard it: "Well, that's good... I will write it later and let my father go to Beizhou as well.
Although Shen Qing had never been filial to her since she was a child, he was her father after all. Now that there was danger, she couldn't just sit back and watch. After resolving this matter, leaving the capital should be on the agenda. Apart from the first time, there was only one last question left: how to persuade Su. In the room, when Su learned about the origins of the two, she fell into silence for a long time, then she shook her head gently, "I won't leave here!"
