Chapter 1117 The belated funeral report
Over the past year, Hongxiu enjoyed the maternal love life that she had never enjoyed in her life under Mrs. Han's knees. The scene of asking about her well-being is vivid and engraved in her heart.
After Qingguo blocked Han Mo with a serious injury and lost his memory, Hongxiu did develop amnesia symptoms. However, after careful care of the Minister of Rites's Mansion, her body recovered bit by bit. And when no one knew about it, her subconscious memory slowly woke up. As time passed day by day, her memories of the past became clearer bit by bit.
In fact, before Han Mo left the capital and returned to the East China Sea, Hongxiu's memory was fully recovered.
Although she remembered her true identity and every bit of the past, she did not forget her life after entering the Minister of Rites' Mansion. She remembered her care clearly. That's why when she recovered her memory, she felt extremely shocked in her heart.
The Minister of Rites is one of the six major governments, and Han Xuanchang and his wife are also one of the few nobles of aristocratic families today. They are just the chief officials of Xihua Hall for the Dark Action. Their identities are so different, but the Minister of Rites' Mansion is extremely caring for them. Although it was because of Han Mo at the beginning, as the days passed day by day, the Minister of Rites' Mansion seemed to have adapted to the existence of Hongxiu.
Mrs. Han might have pity for Hongxiu at first, but after nearly a year of getting along with each other day and night, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.
Han Mo left Beijing and returned to Donghai, took his wife and children away, and even took Aunt Bi and her sister back. Hongxiu felt keenly that things were not as simple as they appeared.
Although Mrs. Han is smart, she is also a straightforward person. When she talks and chats with Hongxiu on weekdays, she also expresses her dissatisfaction with Han Xuandao while she is intent or not. Hongxiu keenly feels the cracks inside the Han tribe from the lines between Mrs. Han's words.
She has been engaged in Dark Action for many years and has strong observation and analysis. When Han Mo was transferred from the front line to the East China Sea, Hongxiu felt that there was a big problem. When Han Mo took his family away at that time, she felt that it was definitely not a temporary decision.
At that time, Han Mo wanted to bring her back to the East China Sea. Hongxiu still wanted to leave with them in her heart. She was with Xiaoqian and Han Qin all day long, and was like her sisters, so naturally she was reluctant to part with her. However, Mrs. Han stayed in the capital. Hongxiu felt that something big would happen soon. In order to stay with Mrs. Han for protection, she refused to go with her.
Many things were the same as she expected. Today, the Minister of Rites' Mansion is indeed in a big disaster. Han Xuanchang's whereabouts are unknown. Mrs. Han was closely monitored, and Hongxiu was already very anxious.
Although she didn't know the situation outside, the situation would only get worse and worse in the future when it developed to this point. Moreover, from the expression on Mrs. Han's face in the past few days, he could also see from Mrs. Han's inner depression and grief and anger had reached a critical point.
Under the care of Mrs. Han, she was well healed. In her heart, she even really treated Mrs. Han as her mother. At this time, she knew very well that she could no longer sit and wait for death and had to do something. In any case, she would rescue Mrs. Han from this cage.
She is alone now and has no contact with the outside world. It is not easy to rescue Mrs. Han under such strict control. So she understands that if she really wants to rescue Mrs. Han, she must find an opportunity to leave the Minister of Rites' Mansion and contact the Xihua Hall officials outside.
She knew that martial arts masters were everywhere around this courtyard. If there were only one or two, she could solve the problem. However, facing a large group of martial arts masters, it was impossible to break out easily. Once the warriors were disturbed, they would probably have to implicate Mrs. Han.
If she wants to leave, she must know the surrounding environment well and find the flaws to make it easier to break out.
Her body blended with the night, lying on the roof, silently. The autumn rain fell on her body, and soon she drenched her clothes, but she remained motionless and alertly inquire about the movements around the courtyard.
She was born in Xihua Hall, and her methods of lurking and following were first-class. Naturally, she knew more about where to hide and ambush around this courtyard. She did find the figure of a warrior in the place she thought was suitable for hiding.
The next two nights, she climbed up to the roof late at night to master the movement rules of those warriors.
...
...
"Wu County has dispatched 8,000 troops to the capital, and the Hui-Cai County has gathered 10,000 troops. It is now stationed 120 miles south of the capital, and is dispatched at any time." In the side hall of the Minister of Revenue's Office, at dusk, Han Shan, the Minister of War, who has taken office, was reporting to Han Xuandao: "Linyang County has also mobilized 5,000 troops. According to the order of the Ministry of War, it is rushing to the Huqiu area in the northwest of Bozhou County. After they arrive, they will not launch an attack immediately. Just wait for Bozhou County to break through to Yichun County, and then harasse the rear of Bozhou County and cut off its food logistics. As for the Donghai Army... there was no military report there, but the five thousand elite soldiers in Donghai County have set off...!"
In the side hall, in addition to Han Xuandao sitting in the upper head, there are more than a dozen Korean officials in the hall, all of whom are extremely important ministers in the court who hold real power today.
These dozen officials stood in front of Han Xuandao, each of them respectfully, and each of them had a look of fatigue on their faces.
Now that Han Xuandao is in power, these people, as Han Xuandao's right-hand assistants, not only have to maintain the government day and night, but also have been in panic all day since the last assassination, and have suffered double physical and mental overdrawns.
"Yichun Army..." Han Xuandao sneered coldly.
Han Dan immediately said: "The Yichun Army has already deployed defenses at Hangu Pass, which was handed over to Yichun in Bozhou and Yichun... Although Hangu Pass was repaired three years ago, it suffered a lot of damage back then. The Yichun Army's military strength and combat effectiveness are far inferior to that of Bozhou County, and I am afraid it will not last long..."
"I want to ask you, who was transferred to Yichun County?" Han Xuandao asked lightly.
The officials looked at each other, and Han Dan gritted his teeth and said, "My Lord, Yichun County... was not transferred by the Ministry of War. As far as the officials knew, when Zhao Xiqiao began to gather troops, Yichun Situ Jing should have wanted to make a contribution, so he mobilized troops, food and food without the will of the court...!" He raised his head slightly and looked at Han Xuandao carefully. Seeing that although Han Xuandao's expression was calm, there was a very strange light in his eyes, he felt a little panicked: "Situ Jing... This person still needs to be punished if he turns back..."
"Bang!"
A sound of porcelain breaking sounded in the hall, and Han Xuandao actually smashed the teacup at his hand. The officials were frightened and knelt down one after another, silent.
"Just just to make meritorious?" Han Xuandao sneered: "Han Shan, as the Minister of War, you are now in charge of affairs of the Ministry of War. You don't know why the local army is dispatching troops. He is simply useless." He has always been calm when encountering things, but at this moment, his eyes showed anger: "You said Situ Jing was fighting for meritorious service? I will tell you that the officials we sent in Yichun were cut off by Situ Jing and imprisoned twenty-nine people. This is what you call fighting for meritorious service?"
As soon as this statement was made, all the officials were shocked.
Han Dan looked pale and said in surprise: "Sir, Situ Jing... Situ Jing is going to rebel?" But he was extremely puzzled. If Situ Jing wanted to fight against Han Xuandao, he should be joining forces with Bozhou County. However, he killed Han Xuandao's people and sent troops to resist Bozhou County, this matter would be a bit strange.
"It's about to rebel!" Han Xuandao said lightly: "It's just not about rebelling with Zhao Xiqiao, but about joining forces with Han Mo to rebel!"
"Han...Han Mo?" Everyone was even more surprised.
Han Xuandao did not explain much, but said coldly: "But if they temporarily go to resist Bozhou County, we can also do it ourselves. When the troops and horses of various departments arrive, don't act rashly for the time being. I will watch a big show of dog biting dogs!"
"Sir, wise!" everyone said in unison.
Han Xuandao raised his hand and said, "You all get up!" When the officials stood up, he slowly said, "I called you here today to discuss a major event with you!"
All the officials were solemn.
Han Xuandao pondered for a moment and finally said, "I received the news last night that the emperor... has died of illness and died in Qianxin Palace..."
More than a dozen officials had different expressions, with a slightly shocked look, but most of them showed joy, and a few of them showed a look of "although that's the case" in their eyes.
The emperor has not been to the court for more than half a year, and Han Xuandao is in charge of everything. People with a little bit of mind naturally understand that something big happened in the palace. Today, Han Xuandao said bluntly that the emperor is dead, but many people take it for granted. A few people already feel that this is a late death.
But at this time, although they were deceiving themselves, the officials still tried their best to look hurt. Although there were a few people who had bad acting skills, they did not need very good acting skills at this time.
Han Xuandao sighed and said, "Don't disclose this matter for the time being. Now in the crisis of the country, you should work with me to overcome the difficulties together. He paused and continued, "The emperor is in the funeral of heaven, and the whole country is mourning. We are ministers. Although we are in the face of danger of the country, we cannot let the emperor be wronged... I decided that five days later, that is, October 26, we will gather all civil and military officials to gather in Qianxin Hall to announce the news of the funeral of heaven to the world...!"
"Sir, wise!"
"The country cannot be without a king for a day." Han Xuandao said slowly: "Since the lord has gone, my Dayan is still there. For the sake of my Dayan's future, it is urgent to establish a new king!"
The officials suddenly became nervous and knew that it was a very important moment.
"What do you think?" Han Xuandao pondered for a moment and finally asked.
