Chapter 555: Jinling Value Geometry

Xu Xuan had been struggling for a long time. He could not ignore Li Hongji's kindness of knowing each other, but he did not want to die just now... "If Your Majesty can break Guo Rong in Yangzhou and turn the danger into safety, the old minister should die and can laugh at him. If Your Majesty is unlucky... Then the old minister will be invincible for the generations and besides the traitors and treacherous ministers and condolences with his own hands!"

Xu Xuan made up his mind and thought he had a perfect solution.

But Ye Hua and Han Xizai didn't agree.

As long as you bow your head once, there will be a second and third time... Xu Xuan can still be used, but you have to wait a little while to make him out like a hawk.

The most urgent task at the moment is how to take down Jinling.

Ye Hua thought about it and found Fu Zhaoxin.

"When you grabbed Xu Xuan, was there anything else? You must have his sword, imperial edict, official seal, etc."

"Yes!" Fu Zhaoxin agreed happily, "But I thought it was useless, so I threw it into the warehouse."

Ye Hua said angrily, "Go quickly, find it out for me immediately, hurry up!"

Fu Zhaoxin was frightened by Ye Hua and ran away quickly.

When he left, Ye Hua suddenly felt a little worried, "I'm sorry, even if there is a big seal, it won't work. Xu Xuan will not cooperate with us to write the handwritten order now."

Han Xizai's eyes turned and said with a smile, "Marty, if you can trust me, you will leave this matter to me."

Han Xizai is a scholarly person, and Xu Xuan is also a great man. People in Jiangnan often compare them to each other. Han Xizai is very familiar with Xu Xuan's writing style. Without thinking, he wrote a handwritten edict in Xu Xuan's tone.

Just as Fu Zhaoxin ran over panting, Ye Hua grabbed the seal and stamped it.

Then someone tied it to an arrow and shot it into Jinling.

When a soldier guarding the city received it, he immediately sent it to Chen Qiao for review.

At this moment, Chen Qiao was even more helpless than before.

He did not deal with Song Xun decisively, but the smuggling could no longer be curbed. Not only did the people above communicate with the Great Zhou, but even the soldiers below were doing business in the black market.

For example, if you give out a piece of silk, you have to give them a hundred cents, not a penny less.

Moreover, these soldiers also sold the salt and food outside the city to the people in the city.

Just imagine, a metropolis worth one million, and Li Hongji recommended that the city has severely divided the rich and poor people. Many people don’t even have a place to live and can only hide under the bridge and by the river.

In the past, I had many job opportunities and worked hard for a day, so I wouldn’t be hungry.

But now, many jobs are gone, so they can only sneak and even rob. When they get money, they go to find the people guarding the city and exchange for some food.

The grain shops in the city are no longer available, and they are all taken care of by the court.

Although Jinling City also set up a porridge shed, not many people were willing to drink it. The clear soup was weak, and a bowl of porridge and only a few grains of rice were almost the same as drinking water.

Someone saw that the minor officials in charge of the porridge factory were transporting grains to their homes, truck after truck... Many idle men gathered together to rob the officials and merchants' homes.

Anyway, they are all dead, and the full-fledged ghost is much better than the starved ghost.

In just a few days, four or five companies were robbed.

These people are powerful people, and they will not be willing to endure it. Therefore, the people in the city were mobilized and robbed thieves everywhere. As a result, I don’t know if the thief was caught, but the prison was filled with it...

All internal and external troubles fell on Chen Qiao. He himself was a person who had no idea and lacked his own opinions, so he couldn't stand it.

When he heard that His Majesty sent Xu Xuan back to Beijing to take over his position.

Chen Qiao did not get angry because of losing power as others thought. On the contrary, he was very calm and even felt like he was taking off a huge burden.

Mr. Xu, come back soon, I don’t have to worry about it!

Chen Qiao prayed, but unfortunately, he did not pray for coming to Xu Xuan, but instead received fatal news.

Xu Xuan disguised himself as a disguise and was kidnapped by a group of people while crossing the Qinhuai River.

When the Navy Camp sent someone to rescue him, Xu Xuan was gone. When he received the report, Chen Qiao was angry. Even the clay man had a third-part nature!

Xu Xuan secretly returned. What a secret matter, who leaked it? Who told Dazhou the news? Investigate it, and it must be found out! If you are still indifferent, Jinling City will be over!

Chen Qiao finally realized the awareness of a left-behind official.

It's a pity that he got up too late.

Before the order was completed, the arrow book outside the city arrived.

In the name of the imperial envoy, Xu Xuan ordered Chen Qiao to open the city gate and welcome the people of the Great Zhou into the city.

There is no point in resisting the enemy. The Heavenly Soldiers King's Army is right in front of you. Any idea of ​​confrontation will only cause disaster. There are millions of creatures in Jiangning. Could it be that the Qinhuai River will be stained with blood?

After Chen Qiao read it, he was furious. What a shameless Xu Xuan. Unexpectedly, you actually surrendered to the Great Zhou! You are still the imperial envoy of Your Majesty, so you are really blind!

At this moment, someone suddenly reported that it was Feng Yanji, Duke of Chu, Song Qiqiu, and Sun Sheng, the former minister of the ministry, and the three former grandfathers, who came together.

Chen Qiao was very surprised. Logically speaking, Song Qiqiu, Feng Yanji and Sun Sheng were not the same as each other. They were in the same position as the same water and fire in the past, but why are they coming together now?

It's really strange!

Chen Qiao brought them in. As soon as he met, Feng Yanji took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Chen, I heard that Xu Xuan's archery book was passed into the city. Didn't he follow His Majesty in Yangzhou? What's going on? Could it be that the Great Zhou faked it?"

Feng Yanji knew everything, but pretended to be as if nothing had happened.

Chen Qiao did not see through the old guy's skin, and could only say, "This matter is probably true. Your Majesty has issued an order to let Xu Xuan replace me and guard Jinling!"

"What?" Feng Yanji was furious and immediately made a frustration for Chen Qiao. "Mr. Chen, you did a good job, why did Your Majesty change you? And he also sent Xu Xuan back. Didn't Your Majesty see this person and the wolf ambition?"

Chen Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty will naturally not be wrong in seeing people. Could it be that this handwriting is fake?"

Chen Qiao put the arrow book in front of the big guys, and the three old guys looked at it seriously. Finally, Sun Sheng said, "I know Xu Xuan's handwriting, which was indeed written by him!" Sun Sheng lit the crutch hard and cursed angrily, "I really didn't expect that he actually betrayed His Majesty. He can be killed and not kept!"

Feng Yanji immediately said, "Yes, he is already a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why should he use the imperial envoy to order Jinling civil and military officials? He cannot agree, and he must not agree!"

Song Qiqiu, who had never spoken at this time, spoke, "We are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty and have been deeply favored by the emperors of the three generations. Only by serving the country with death, can we never sit idly by and watch the fall of Jinling. However, Xu Xuan had an imperial edict, but he surrendered to the enemy again. Now there are no leaders in the city, what if it is?"

Feng Yanji said, "What does the leader of the dragon? What does Mr. Chen do? What do we do?" Feng Yanji turned to Chen Qiao and sighed with emotion, "There is nothing to say at the critical moment of life and death. The three of us immortals are willing to advance and retreat with Mr. Chen and share life and death!"

Song Qiqiu and Sun Sheng were all vague.

Chen Qiao was quite moved. Although there were some quarrels before, when it was really dead, these people could still understand the righteousness.

"I thank you for your misunderstandings for your three husbands. But my stay-attachment has been eliminated. It is not just that my reputation is not right. How can I serve Your Majesty!"

Feng Yanji slapped his chest, "Mr. Chen, what are you saying! As long as you don't have a delivery letter, you are just staying behind... Otherwise, I'll have an idea."

Feng Yanji proposed to ask several people to write a letter together and send it to Yangzhou, telling His Majesty that Xu Xuan had surrendered, whether to send another important minister to the left-behind or to still hand it over to Chen Qiao, His Majesty Du Qing decided.

But before the order comes down, everything is mainly Chen Qiao.

"Please rest assured that Mr. Chen, the three of us will definitely advance and retreat with you!"

Facing these three super old foxes, Chen Qiao is not much better than a three-year-old child.

He also felt that having three people supported him was equivalent to having a backer. He excitedly drafted a memorial to explain the situation, and the four people jointly signed it together, and then Chen Qiao used a big seal.

But just after Chen Qiao used the seal, Sun Sheng quietly put the seal in front of him. He exchanged glances with Feng Yanji and Song Qiqiu, and it was done!

The big seal is in hand, I have it in Jinling!

The next thing is how to sell it for a good price!

This Chen Qiao is so weak that it is not difficult to fight him. The three old guys are proud, but at this moment, someone suddenly sent an urgent report. Zhu Lingyun from Jiangzhou led a hundred thousand troops to Caishiji.

Hearing this, Chen Qiao was overjoyed and stood up immediately.

"Okay, great! I'm sure I didn't disappoint!"

Feng Yanji's heart skipped a beat, it was not good! He thought that Zhang Shi was a young censor and Zhu Lingyun was a general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so how could he be willing to obey his orders!

But Zhang Wei succeeded, and 100,000 people came!

The battle situation is afraid that there will be changes again!

Sun Sheng silently pushed the seal forward. It seemed that it was not that easy to sell Jinling, so he had to wait a little longer.

Chen Qiao said happily, "Three seniors, are we going out of the city to welcome him?"
