In the late stage of raising their troops, and it cannot be said to be the late stage, but probably half a month after launching the counterattack, Yue Yihou and Feng Yibo issued a proclamation to inform the world that they would no longer serve because Chongde was not worthy of the emperor's virtue, and they wanted to save the world. Common people, escape from this deep and fiery sea of suffering.
As Yue Yihou and Feng Yibo joined the rebel team, thirty-five counties in the Jiangnan region also fell into the hands of the rebels.
This news reached Xijing City, but it did not cause much shock. From the time when the ancestors of the Song family and Prince Tong's brother raised an army, they knew very well that those two brothers were the two who were hiding behind the plan. Otherwise, how could two children make such a big fuss!
It's just that they have been deceiving themselves and others before, not thinking about the twists and turns, waiting for the day when the truth is revealed. Now, this day has finally arrived, and they are relieved.
The entire Jiangnan region was lost, not to say that most of the country was lost, but it was almost the same. After all, there was the treasury’s money bag. After fighting with foreigners for half a year, the treasury was almost at its bottom. What happened now? Going out made this already not very wealthy court even worse.
Prince Tong, who heard the news, didn't have much reaction on the surface, but the hatred in his heart was as strong as it could be. This kind of taking advantage of the situation, shameless behavior, it's hard to imagine those who keep saying they love him. , made by the so-called relatives who love him.
These people took advantage of the foreigners' pressure, took advantage of the soldiers in his hands to fight bloody battles with the foreigners at the border, and took advantage of Xijing's lack of preparedness to come up with a trick to drain the firepower out of him, leaving him facing the dilemma of internal and external troubles. His relatives were really Love him with all your heart.
Although Emperor Chongde was ill, he was also aware of what happened in the court. Every day when he came back from court, Prince Tong would tell him about the changes in the current situation and how he and his ministers had responded.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongde felt that the ministers and Prince Tong had handled the situation very well. Even if he was still in office, he could not have handled it any better. However, compared to losing Jiangnan, he felt more sorry for King Tong.
First of all, he fell ill. All the pressure needs to be shouldered by King Tong, and he has to handle all the things. He is busy every day. Not to mention eating on time and sleeping on time, he probably has no time to rest. rare.
Emperor Chongde looked at King Tong and felt that his baby had obviously lost weight during this period. There were deep shadows under his eyes, and he looked quite haggard. According to the little chamberlain who was with him, he couldn't eat well or sleep well during this period. He looked gloomy all day long. Only when he was in front of him did he feel happy and smile.
Emperor Chongde felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want Prince Tong to be so tired. Unfortunately, his body was weak and he couldn't share the burden even if he wanted to.
Later, when he heard that Marquis Yue Yi and Uncle Feng Yi had completely turned against each other, he was relieved. He had talked to Prince Tong before and found out that the two eldest young masters could not afford this situation at all, and that Hou and Uncle were definitely behind the scenes. , the man at the helm. variety show literature
Looking back now, their assumptions at the time were absolutely correct. Those two scheming men should have been fully prepared long ago, waiting for the opportunity to completely break away from the constraints of the court and compete with the court.
As the person who knows Prince Tong best in the world, even if Prince Tong hides it well in front of Emperor Chongde, he knows that his baby is very sad. What's more, King Tong didn't hide anything in front of him, and showed all his emotions directly.
On the day the news came, Prince Tong had already lost his temper in front of Emperor Chongde, and it was a very big one. After losing his temper, he started crying, crying so loudly that he could not be persuaded no matter how hard he tried. Living.
After Prince Tong finished crying, he formally announced that he would never have any further relationship with Uncle Feng Yi's family.
Although he said this, Emperor Chongde knew very well that his baby more or less recognized the relationship between Feng Yibo Mansion and him, and it was because of this recognition that he was so sad.
Originally, they had a very good plan. They wanted to wait to repel the foreign invaders, and when the country began to recuperate for a while, they could rest for a while, take a breath, and then go for a walk in the south of the Yangtze River. Firstly, I wanted to revisit my old place, and secondly, I wanted to talk to Uncle Feng Yi about the problem they were facing now.
They envisioned many possible scenarios and many possible accidents, and they also took corresponding countermeasures. The two of them repeatedly considered and reviewed the situation, and finally decided on three different plans. Originally, they were confident that they could convince Uncle Feng Yi to win this negotiation, but unexpectedly, the other party did not give them this opportunity at all.
Their attitude can already be seen from Feng Yibo's crisp statement and completely rebellious behavior. What they need is an obedient puppet who can be at their mercy. It would be perfect if this puppet could lead troops. . However, they didn't get this puppet. Since they couldn't get it, they simply destroyed him to avoid future troubles.
However, King Tong's refusal to recognize each other also gave them an excuse to attack Emperor Chongde. This was also one of the crimes Feng Yibo listed against Emperor Chongde in his appeal.
After understanding this, Emperor Chongde felt very sad and felt sorry for his baby. What Feng Yibo did was nothing more than a sharp knife in his baby's appreciation, and this knife would leave an eternal mark. Scars that heal and never go away.
Emperor Chongde didn't want to let go of this bastard who was causing trouble for his treasure. Although he knew that the defeat was certain and sooner or later they would attack Xijing City and the palace, he was unwilling to let go and must add some trouble to Feng Yibo. , let him experience what it is like to sow discord.
Therefore, a few days before following Prince Tong, his confidants, and his confidants to leave the palace through the secret passage, Emperor Chongde found a few secret guards who were good at handwriting imitation and asked them to imitate Feng Yibo's handwriting and use Feng Yibo's He wrote several secret letters leaking information.
Emperor Chongde knew that these secret letters could not do anything to Uncle Feng Yi at the moment, but he did so. Once the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart, it was only a matter of time before they took root and sprouted.
