204 Disadvantage
"What's the reaction from outside?" Hu Qiongyue took her son for a walk in the yard, and the servants in the mansion followed behind him not far or near, and whispered: "It's not an exaggeration to say that the crowd is excited. Madam, have you not seen it?" It turns out that wherever the Marquis of Zhennan went, the common people would escort him secretly, but now that the common people know about it, they are all angrily cursing."

"Oh?" Hu Qiongyue asked, "How are you scolding?"

The boy learned to be vivid, "Said Zhennan Hou is a liar, and deceived the people of the world. The Holy Majesty never wronged him, and he clearly plotted to rebel." He also said: "Also say that such a person is inhumane and unrighteous. Everyone in the world will punish him."

"That's right." Hu Qiongyue smiled softly, sat down in the pavilion, and let her son play on the side, she said: "How much I loved and loved at the time, I hate now. This is just the beginning, and there is still a good show in the future .”

"They are probably the ones who have never been seen before or since. They rebelled and were suppressed by the people." Hu Qiongyue smiled lightly, remembering something, raised her brows and said: "However, Zhennan Hou's reaction, but Did anyone see it?"

"Marquis Zhennan didn't respond." The servant didn't quite understand, "Do you want to inquire again?"

Hu Qiongyue waved her hand. After Su Wanru's identity was exposed, what she wanted to see the most was Shen Zhan's reaction. When he knew that he was deceived by that liar Su Wanru, how would he react?

She really expected Shen Zhan to become angry and kill Su Wanru in a fit of anger.

"Didn't you kill someone? Or, have some contact with Marquis Deqing, or do you have any regrets?" Hu Qiongyue asked.

The servant shook his head inexplicably, "None of these." Marquis Zhennan and Mrs. Su are husband and wife, of course the husband and wife advance and retreat together, what does the empress want to ask?
"Why not." Hu Qiongyue was stunned for a moment, why did Shen Zhan not respond? Could it be that he was completely controlled by Su Wanru?
Seeing Hu Qiongyue's surprised look, the servant asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, Zhennanhou and Su Shi are married and have a son, do you know?"

Could it be because of the child that the Marquis of Zhennan couldn't bear it anymore?That's right, he has no way out now, he can only follow Su Wanru forward.

"Okay, it's okay, you go and do your work." Hu Qiongyue waved her hand.

The little servant responded, and went out. As soon as he came out of the pavilion, he met Zhao Zhiting, who hurriedly bowed. Sit here."

"It's too hot in the room." Hu Qiongyue said: "The earth dragon is burning too hot, and Feng'er and I are both uncomfortably hot, so we come out to breathe. Why is Your Highness back?"

Zhao Zhiting said happily: "Father said that I won't let me take you to Xiaoshan for the time being. You know, that Su family is actually some kind of princess from the Later Song Dynasty!" He said so, but he felt relieved suddenly, no wonder Su Jin didn't want to see him all the time, it turned out that they had been opposed to each other for a long time because of their status.

No wonder.

"I heard about it." Zhao Zhiting said: "Your Highness, you said Zhennan Hou knew that she was a princess and that he was cheated, what would be his reaction?"

Zhao Zhiting was surprised and said: "How could Shen Zhan be deceived, you think Shen Zhan is a martial artist so stupid?" He waved his hand and said: "Since Shen Zhan has come to this point, he must have known it a long time ago."

Shen Zhan already knew?Knowing that he is still willing to put aside everything he owns to avenge Su Wanru?

Is he really stupid or fake?

Hu Qiongyue was silent, Zhao Zhiting looked at her strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Hu Qiongyue smiled and said, "Your Highness, if I were also a princess of the Later Song Dynasty, would you treat me wholeheartedly like Shen Zhan?"

Zhao Zhiting laughed, waved his hands and said, "Everywhere, there is only a princess in the Later Song Dynasty. What's more, this kind of thing can't happen, your assumption is impossible."

"I mean if, you can talk about it casually." Hu Qiongyue said.

Zhao Zhiting thought about it seriously, and said: "Yes, Yue'er and I are more in love than gold. Of course, we put aside all worldly identities and follow life and death together."

"Your Highness." Hu Qiongyue was very moved, hugged Zhao Zhiting and said emotionally: "You are so kind to me."

Zhao Zhiting nodded slightly, and said: "It's natural, I'm not good to you, who can be good to you." Then he said: "Today, my grandmother told me that the Holy Majesty will make a grandson a few years ago, you wait a little longer." Wait, wait until the day when I can make my own decisions, I will definitely give you the best in the world."

What he meant was that after he ascended the throne, Hu Qiongyue would be his queen.

"Your Highness." Hu Qiongyue nodded with a smile, "You are too kind to me."

The two were talking as they walked, and the woman who had just arrived in the outer courtyard of the main courtyard came back and said, "Madam, Mr. Si is here and wants to see you."

Si Sanbao came to see her?Hu Qiongyue looked at Zhao Zhiting.

"What can Si Sanbao do with you? I'll go with you," Zhao Zhiting said.

Hu Qiongyue felt that it was possible that Si Sanbao was looking for her because of Su Wanru, and of course it was impossible for her to be accompanied by Zhao Zhiting, so she smiled and said, "I'll just go by myself, Your Highness, go and rest, I'll just come."

Zhao Zhiting never coerced Hu Qiongyue, so he confessed: "Okay, then bring someone with you, don't be tricked by Si Sanbao."

Hu Qiongyue should be, and went to the outer courtyard with the little girl.

Si Sanbao was waiting for her in the flower hall, Hu Qiongyuelian stepped into the door, Si Sanbao got up and left, saying: "Is your lady safe?"

"It's not bad." Hu Qiongyue looked at Si Sanbao. He went out for a few months a while ago, and there was no movement after he came back. She kept thinking about what Si Sanbao was doing, "Why is your father-in-law coming to see me today when he is free? "

"For Su Jin's business." Si Sanbao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Hu Qiongyue, "Your Majesty knows about the rumors outside?"

Hu Qiongyue nodded, and looked at Si Sanbao curiously, "I heard that she is the princess of the Later Song Dynasty. My father-in-law came to ask me, what do you mean?"

"What I want to ask is, did the empress know her identity a long time ago, or did she just know it now?" Si Sanbao raised his eyebrows.

Hu Qiongyue's face suddenly darkened, and she said with a half smile but not a smile: "Eunuch came today with bad intentions. If you say this, is Eunuch intentionally picking trouble with me?"

"Don't dare." Si Sanbao said: "Your maidservant is just curious. Your Majesty and the Su family entered the Jinxiu Workshop together, but they left at the same time. Your Majesty, this servant knows that there was not only a princess in the Later Song Dynasty, but also a princess. Woolen cloth."

"Eunuch doesn't mean to say that I am the princess?" Hu Qiongyue said, "Where is the evidence?"

The corners of Si Sanbao's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, you will have an answer sooner or later. I'm not in a hurry. The miscellaneous family is here today, just to tell your Majesty that there is something important in the future, and it's not convenient to discuss it with His Highness." , you can come and find your servant.”

"Are you looking for me?" Hu Qiongyue's complexion changed drastically. What Si Sanbao said above meant telling her that he knew that she was the one who spread the news about Su Wanru being the Princess of the Later Song Dynasty.

He is threatening her.

"It's just a coincidence." Si Sanbao smiled, and said, "I won't disturb your maidservant, I wish your wishes will come true as soon as possible." After saying that, he shook off his whisk and left.

Eunuch Xiaotian waited at the door, followed Si Sanbao out, waited on the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, this side concubine is not simple."

"There are a lot of secrets." Si Sanbao said, "However, it's only interesting if there are many secrets." The death of the crown prince, her relationship with Xiao Hanqing, and her identity are indeed all secrets.
Eunuch Oda should be.With these secrets in hand, even if Mrs. Hu doesn't want to associate with them, she still has to be led by their noses.

"Then Aunt Su, what should we do?" Eunuch Xiaotian said, "She really lied to us so badly."

Si Sanbao smiled, took a sip of tea, and sat extremely securely in the swaying carriage, "Don't touch her, just pretend you don't know anything." As he spoke, he looked at Eunuch Xiaotian, "Leave a thread in everything."

Eunuch Xiaotian suddenly realized, "So, that's why you went to Chengdu Mansion to find out the identities of Aunt Su and Lord Hou, but didn't say anything?"

"Well." Si Sanbao said in a low voice: "These two are not simple. To deal with them, it is natural for someone with the ability to deal with them. People like us will only delay everyone's retreat by rushing forward. It is better to be honest and do things. "

"Eunuch is brilliant." Eunuch Xiaotian nodded yes.In this way, Si Sanbao not only made meritorious service in front of the Holy Majesty, but also caught Hu Qiongyue's handle. The relationship with Su Jin here has not been broken...

In the future, no matter who wins or loses among these three parties, they will all be able to sit firmly on Mount Tai and remain unmoved.

"However, Aunt Su and the others are a little nervous." Eunuch Xiaotian said: "At first, the people still sympathized with Zhennan Hou, but now they are all angry and resentful."

They are also smart. When Sizhou was flooded and the crowd was furious, they incited the people to rebel against the rebels. At this time, Shen Zhan came back and was punished by the emperor. In the name of , creating a situation of passive grief and urgency.

Let the people empathize with them, and stand in a neutral position without hesitation, and even support them in plotting chaos.

Just ask, which rebel army in the past dynasties can win the hearts of the people so much?
But it's different now, the popular support they won has collapsed, and it's not easy to pick it up again.

"Go back." Si Sanbao said: "Everyone has their own luck, the hustle and bustle of the world is beneficial, let's eat according to our abilities."

At this moment, Zhou Chao was reading the letter. The content of the letter was naturally passed on from the outside world. After a long time, he put the letter on the table. After not speaking for a long time, his subordinate asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Ever since Zhou Chao knew that Shen Zhan had turned against him, he had been hesitating whether to stay with Shen Zhan or turn a blind eye, but he was afraid that one day he would meet Shen Zhan on the battlefield, but he didn't want to be a traitor and turn against Zhao Zhiang.

This kind of mentality has troubled him for a long time, until now, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is no need to do anything, we will obey the orders of the Holy One."

"Your Excellency, what do you mean that you won't be with Lord Hou anymore?" the subordinate asked.

They and Shen Zhan both had feelings for each other, and they went through life and death many times, and this time they went to fight Nurhachi together again.

It can be regarded as a friendship between life and death.

"Well." Zhou Chao said: "I thought the Holy Majesty thought that Lord Hou had done so well, so he intended to kill him. Now it seems that the Holy Majesty did not wrong Lord Hou."

It's right for the subordinates to think about it.

"The Su family is the Wanru princess of the Later Song Dynasty. Lord Hou must have known it a long time ago. No wonder I am still surprised that Lord Hou will never do things that are not sure. With his character, if he is misunderstood by the Holy One, he should explain it, but he can't explain it. Only then will you turn your face in anger."

"Now it seems that it's all Master Hou's bitter plan." Zhou Chao expressed regret, "The friendship of nearly ten years has been ruined like this. It's okay, save the brothers from embarrassment."

The subordinate nodded, "Then this subordinate will tell the brothers about this."

Zhou Chao nodded, and threw the packed baggage back into the box.

In Taiyuan Mansion, the teahouses and tea stalls on the street were rarely quiet. This quietness was not because there were no people. On the contrary, there were more people today than in the past, but no one spoke.

"We're so disappointed." One of the old men suddenly patted the table and said, "Mrs. Hou Ye is actually a princess of the Later Song Dynasty. It's not that Hou Ye was forced to do nothing, but he had already turned against him."

Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly someone said: "The Princess of the Later Song Dynasty is also very good. Back then, Pingjiang Mansion was much richer than us. The people in the Jiangnan area loved them very much."

"Fart." The old man said: "That was in the past. The world is settled, and the Zhao family is the real emperor. Since he, Shen Zhan, has followed the Zhao family, he has no reason to eat from the two families. If he eats it, he is plotting rebellion. It is treason, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

This person is a scholar, so he cares more about loyalty, filial piety and righteousness than ordinary people. The storyteller above said: "Your speech is a bit ugly, and now we are all one-sided. What is the reason for Lord Hou? Didn't hear his explanation."

"It's too arbitrary for you to insist that he is plotting treason. Besides, don't forget that Hou Ye just drove out the foreign enemy, and he is the benefactor of the world."

The old man was still angry, waved his hands, and said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. The Holy One wins, and this world belongs to the Holy One. If they want to grab it, even if they are treasonous, no amount of credit will be worth it."

Everyone didn't say anything more.

"It's not just Taiyuan." Su Ji sat in the middle hall and looked at the crowd, "All the state capitals in the world, especially the people who escorted you across the border, have polarized attitudes."

One is that it doesn't matter what the reason is for Shen Zhan, and the other is that it is intolerable, thinking that Shen Zhan deceived the world, it is a big treason.

"It's not difficult to understand." Su Wanru said: "It's not that they don't support the Later Song Dynasty, especially in the Jiangnan area. But one thing is one thing. Supporting doesn't mean being willing to be deceived."

Zhu Xunning sat down at the table and said: "Now is not the time to analyze the cause, but to think about how to solve this matter." Looking at Su Ji and Shen Zhan again, "Marquis Deqing has arrived, tonight we We must rush to Xuzhou, otherwise, the people will directly open the city gate, and what we have done before will be in vain."

"The top priority is to resolve the hearts and minds of the people." Xiao Shan looked at everyone, lowered his voice, and said, "If it is not resolved, this rebel army may be the first to rebel. Don't say we go to attack Yanjing For revenge, I'm afraid I'll be trapped to death in Jiangnan before I see Zhao Zhiang."

In addition to these, there is food and grass, which is a big deal.

"Then... don't care about Xuzhou?" Zhu Xun looked at Xiao Shan with a look of reluctance, "Once Xuzhou is lost, Luzhou will definitely be lost, and we will be defeated again and again, and people's hearts will be scattered. It was punched out, keep Xuzhou first and then talk about people's hearts."

"That's it." Su Ji and Shen Zhan said: "You and Lord Xiao go to deal with this matter, I will go to Xuzhou to meet Marquis Deqing for a while, Zhengyan will take Mr. Zhou to deal with the aftermath."

Xiao Shan frowned and said: "Marquis Deqing has brought 3 people here, and the troops will inevitably be divided into several groups. You can't handle it alone." He also said: "I will go with you, and Shen Zhan will handle it."

"I'm familiar with Marquis Deqing, so it's appropriate for me to go." Shen Zhan said, looking at Su Ji, "You stay in Pingjiang Mansion. Compared with other places, this place is the safest for you."

Pingjiang Mansion is, after all, the capital of the Later Song Dynasty. The people here and the people elsewhere have more affection for the Later Song Dynasty.

"I..." Su Ji was about to speak, but Su Wanruqiao knocked on the table and said, "There are not many people, so, you guys should do what you do, and I will take care of the rest."

"Wanwan." Su Ji frowned, Su Wanru waved her hand, and said, "Everyone's dissatisfaction is due to my identity, and it is most appropriate for me to come forward to resolve this matter."

"Mei Ziqing stays in Pingjiang Mansion to protect August, I..." Before Su Wanru finished speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door hastily, Lu Cheng opened the door, and saw a young servant standing at the door, shouting: "Second Highness The young man entered the door and kowtowed, and replied: "Our second master asked me to tell you that the people in Xuzhou have rebelled, and they are clamoring to open the door for Marquis Deqing."

Su Ji frowned, looked at the visitor with a gloomy face, and said, "Who is guarding over there? What does Qiu Rong say?"

The boy replied: "Our second master and General Qiu led people to guard it. The second master said that it was very likely that Deqing Hou deliberately instigated it, and wanted Xuzhou to be destroyed by itself." It can be blocked for another two days, but if you don't go, the city gate will really lose its hold."

Every time they win a city, they will leave troops to guard it. The general guarding Xuzhou is Lin Zhengping, but because Marquis Deqing is coming, Qiu Rong will lead people to guard the city first.Some of the original forbidden troops in Xuzhou City also surrendered, and the rest were arrested.

This situation is something they did not expect.

"It's careless." Su Ji and Su Wanru looked at each other, Su Wanru also nodded slightly, and said, "Blame me, when I wanted to pretend to be innocent and pitiful, I should have expected today."

Xiao Shan waved his hands and said: "Your method at that time was the most suitable. Although the current situation is bad, it is not irreparable."

"Yes." Su Wanru nodded, "Let's go to Xuzhou first, and we'll talk when we get to Xuzhou."

Everyone didn't say any more, and went to prepare separately. Su Wanru and Shen Zhan returned to the room. August was sleeping. She hesitated and said, "Can I stay here in August?"

"Take it with you." Shen Zhan said: "You also said that if you and I are dead, he will suffer a lot while alive, so it's better to follow along."

Su Wanru stroked her forehead and said with a broken smile, "I don't even dare to think about it."

None of them think that revenge is an easy matter, so there is no fluke, and they only hope that this road will not be too difficult.

"Then take it with you?" Su Wanru hugged August as she spoke, dressed and wrapped her in a thick cloak. August woke up, looked at her dimly, and arched her head. Said: "Mom, hungry!"

Su Wanru chuckled, "This child is hungry even when he sleeps."

"I'll hug." Shen Zhan took his son and threw him on the bed, then hugged Su Wanru and kissed him, "Daughter-in-law, I've recovered from my injury."

Su Wanru couldn't help laughing, pushed him, and said, "I see, I will sleep with you when I have time."

"What do you mean being free?" Shen Zhan bit her ear, "It's been a long time since we met, and I just fell asleep once."

Su Wanru slapped him, "We don't have time, we run on the road every day, besides, you are still recovering from your injury." She said again: "Don't disturb me, I have to pack my clothes."

"En." Shen Zhan kissed her again before letting go, tied his son around his body, wrapped the cloak twice, and took another cloak to wrap Su Wanru, and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

Su Wanru kissed him back on tiptoe, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard too, and you have taken the blame for me."

"You can scold if you want. I have a wife, so it doesn't matter." Shen Zhan said in a low voice, "The world doesn't know how good you are."

Su Wanru laughed, took his hand out, and said, "You don't need others to know, it's enough for you to know that I'm good."

"Daughter-in-law." Shen Zhan carried his son on his back and was held by his wife, with a smile on his face, Su Wan hummed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhan leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "There is a lake in Xuzhou City, and there is a very hidden pavilion by the lake. Let's sit there after we finish our business."

"Rogue." Su Wanru glanced at him, smiled lightly and nodded.

Shen Zhan's eyes lit up, a kite turned on the horse's back, and yelled, "Let's go!"

"What's wrong with the starling?" Zhu Xun looked at Shen Zhan in surprise, and Su Wanru also got on the horse, and replied, "Maybe it's because I'm full and I want to eat."

Zhu Xun stared.

"Father." Xiao Shan stayed in Pingjiang Mansion to take care of the aftermath, and he still had food and grass, as well as correspondence from Chengdu Mansion. There were so many and complicated things that other than Xiao Shan, others really couldn't do it.

Su Ji went to Luzhou Duanhou first, Shen Zhan took people to Xuzhou, and Zhu Xun led the Rebel Army to the rear.

Everyone went on their way, silently walking all the way, woke up in August after dawn, sitting on Shen Zhan's back, gnawing steamed buns, waving to Su Wanru while eating, "Mom, hurry up!"

"Well, mother is already fast." Su Wanru covered her head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, she smiled helplessly and said: "It's your father who ran too fast, mother can't do it."

They left first, followed by the Rebel Army, and they were not expected to arrive until tomorrow afternoon.

"Father, father." August arched his head, wanted to change direction, and called Shen Zhan, Shen Zhan hummed, stopped the horse, and the family of three rested on the side of the road.

After drinking some hot water, I went on my way and arrived at Xuzhou City at noon.

Seeing them, the officers and soldiers guarding the city on the tower immediately waved their flags and came down to open a gap in the door. They couldn't wait to report to Shen Zhan, "My lord, only this city gate is empty, and the other three gates are blocked."

"Liu Qing. What's the attitude of the people in the city?" Shen Zhan threw the horse to the soldiers guarding the gate, allowing Su Wanru to remove his son from his back. After running for so long, August's cloak was wet, only her small face and hands It was freezing, but the child didn't cry, as if he had adapted to life on horseback.

"The people are very unstable." Liu Qing invited Shen Zhan into the town building on one side, and served tea, "Last night, there were people crying at the gate of the city, saying that they were cheated, that they were sorry, and so on."

In fact, there are still people who scold Shen Zhan, saying that he is a traitor.

"Where are these people now?" Su Wanru said.

Liu Qing replied: "They were all blown away." He looked up at the sky, "Here we are."

What is coming soon?Su Wanru was about to speak when she suddenly heard the sound of drums in the distance, followed by intermittent voices. She was startled and asked, "Is someone singing?"

"Yes." Liu Qing replied: "The songs are poems, all of which are poems that love the country and the people."

Su Wanru got up and said, "Which door is singing at, let's go and see."

A group of people went to the north gate, Lin Zhengping greeted them all the way, and Qiu Rong looked at them from the top of the tower, Lin Zhengping said: "It's singing again, and the people will be incited to cry in a while."

Su Wanru went up to the tower, and from afar, there were 3 horses densely packed, and the momentum was like a rainbow.Amidst the thunderous drums, a thick and desolate male voice sang the lyrics sadly.

"I am so humble that I dare not forget to worry about the country, and I still have to wait until the coffin is closed..."

Immediately afterwards, one cry came out from the city, as if echoing from inside and outside, first one or two, followed by more cries. Under the barrier of their soldiers' sword walls, they sat on the ground and cried in a low voice.

There were many people watching indifferently.

The scene seemed extremely strange and familiar, Liu Qing suddenly said: "Aunt Su, do you think this scene is very familiar?"

"Yeah." Su Wanru glanced at Liu Qing, and said, "It's exactly the same as when we were outside the Jinshui River."

Shen Zhan frowned, "What do they want to do, Kaesong?"

"Yes." Qiu Rong said: "These people were sent by Marquis Deqing to incite the hearts of the people, but we can't kill them, otherwise, the consequences will be even worse."

The crying became louder and louder, and suddenly someone shouted: "You traitors, the law of heaven will not tolerate it, quickly let me open the city gate to welcome Marquis Deqing!"

"Open the city gate." Everyone agreed, and the number of people sitting on the ground changed from the previous few to twenty or thirty, but most of the people were still standing and watching blankly.

At this moment, there was another burst of urgent drumming, which suddenly interrupted the drumming outside the city.

Everyone froze when they heard a clear female voice on the city wall, shouting: "Marquis Deqing, you traitor, I want to fight to the death with you!"

"Who's talking." The people below were stunned, and then they heard the soldiers blocking them reply: "It's Princess Wanru from the Later Song Dynasty who is talking."

The people were stunned, stood up abruptly, and shouted: "The princess of Song Dynasty who bewitched Lord Hou to plot rebellion?!"
