Chapter 188 Rumors are flying everywhere
Zhao Xiaobing asked officials at all levels to go down and hold on to their feet. Anyone who leaves his post at this critical moment will be severely punished. Those who dare to spread rumors and cause trouble must be severely punished.
The next day, Zhao Xiaobing took Yujiao and Mu Xin to Lizhou with great fanfare.
The purpose of his doing this is to let everyone see that he and his two wives are gone, and to try who are fence-bearing people in Hanzhong under the current state.
The man was still on the way, and he received an emergency letter from Cao Youwen urging him to go.
Three days later, he came to Lizhou City. Lao Cao said that he had sent a letter the day before yesterday to ask him to discuss it.
Lao Cao told him that he didn't believe it at the beginning, and it didn't matter.
Now there are more and more rumors. I don’t know what to do. He is afraid of chaos and has to strengthen the public security management in Lizhou.
Zhao Xiaobing nodded and said that he did the same.
He said: "The situation is unclear, I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to cause trouble. However, one thing is certain that something must have happened in the Lin'an court, otherwise why did there be no news and rumors fly all over the sky? It's okay if we have us in Hanzhong, Lizhou, but the boy is worried about Chengdu, Tongchuan, and Kuizhou. If the rumors come true, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"What should I do?" Lao Cao continued to test his tone.
He said: "The land of Sichuan and Shu is already the last fortress for our Song Dynasty to defeat the Mongolian army, and we must not be in chaos. I dare to ask the general to lead troops to move to Chongqing to defend the southeast, otherwise I may be afraid that the land of Shu will not be protected."
Lao Cao's expression was solemn and he remained silent for a while.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaobing had to continue to explain: "At present, the little ones must have other plans, and the gentleman is open and honest, without any worries about other things. The general is in charge of the commander of the military generals, and who dares to disobey wherever he goes? If the general does not go, the disaster of separatist and rebellion will arise, and the officials will be punished in the future. If the official family is really gone, we can also plan to restore the great cause of revival. If there is nothing, everyone will be happy and return to the garrison, thinking that it is the result of stabilizing the country."
Old Cao thought for a moment, slapped the table and said, "Well, Cao will go there. But the young man and I went to Chengdu with him and said that he knew about Mr. Ding."
He was worried that the government would settle the score in the future and wanted to take Zhao Xiaobing to testify.
He hesitated for a moment and agreed, immediately called Deng'an and arranged for the guard company to escort the two wives back to stabilize Hanzhong.
Lao Cao went out to dispatch troops and generals. He ran to find Yujiao and Mu Xin, and asked Yujiao to go back to find Chen Jilin in front of Mrs. Cao, and Guo Chaoqing took the opportunity to deal with Hanzhong affairs together.
Chen Jilin was authorized to lead troops to deal with the surrounding riotous prefectures and counties.
After the arrangement was completed, Zhao Xiaobing only took Deng'an and a few personal guards to join the warships, went straight to Jiangyou, and then to Chengdu. The infantry was led by Cao Youwan and went directly to Chongqing by water.
Lao Cao sighed all the way. If the official family really encounters an accident, it would be a serious crime to be a minister.
Zhao Xiaobing said that we were in Sichuan and Shu, and the officials were in Lin'an, thousands of miles apart, so why did we blame us?
Don't kidnap yourself.
Old Cao looked at him blankly for a while, whipped the horse, and ran forward.
Ten days later, when a group of people arrived in Chengdu, the city was already panicked. Ding Furu was lost and received them at home with a gloomy expression.
Cao Youwen directly explained the purpose of the visit. After Ding Fu focused for a moment, he thought this was the best way, and asked them to draw border soldiers to deal with the possible outbreak of chaos.
Because there had been news that there was a riot in the Hechuan garrison, soldiers took to the streets to rob merchants and went out of the city to rob prominent families.
The three had to temporarily divide the work. Lao Cao led his troops south to Kuizhou Road and adjacent prefectures and counties, and Zhao Xiaobing stabilized Chengdu Prefecture Road and adjacent prefectures and counties.
He asked Lao Cao to hurry up and he would be responsible for the Chengdu side.
Afterwards, Ding Fu said that the little princess had arrived in Chengdu, and he used a large villa in Huanhuaxi Community as the Zhao Mansion and settled the little princess in.
When Ding Fu saw him looking at him, he said that Chengdu Prefecture would pay according to the market price.
He said that he didn't mean that, but he didn't expect that he was stunned for a moment.
Ding Fu means that at this critical moment, the princess is lonely and hopes that he will meet and comfort the princess.
Of course he had to agree, what else can I say when everyone is here?
Zhao Xiaobing explained that he would go there and arrange the matter at hand first.
After leaving the Ding family gate, he and Lao Cao went their separate ways. He asked Deng'an to go to his father-in-law's house first.
When he entered the house, he saw his father-in-law being indifferent and couldn't speak clearly.
Zhao Xiaobing said that the official family is far away. You have only been to Lin'an twice over the years, eating the same food and sleeping the same food.
His father-in-law angrily said that he was so relieved.
Zhao Xiaobing didn't care what his father-in-law said, and asked Deng'an to come to the intelligence department.
He went to his father-in-law's study to write notes, and he had to grab the time to deploy the army.
The New Military Intelligence Department had already set up an intelligence station in Chengdu, and Deng'an hurried to the dock in the south of the city to find people.
Later, the people from the intelligence department came to take away his secret order and Fei Ge sent a letter.
His mother arranged the wine and food, and her father-in-law called him to go for a drink, saying that this life was a day.
The emperor was gone all of a sudden, and he was a little uncomfortable. His father-in-law asked him what to do? What to do?
While accompanying his father-in-law to have a drink, he said nothing was wrong. Lord Ding and others were holding on to the long pole, and the sky couldn't fall.
Finally, his father-in-law was drunk and asked his mother to help her back home.
As soon as Zhao Xiaobing returned to his room, his little mother came to call him, saying that it was Lord Ding Fu Ding who invited him, and asked him to go quickly.
He rushed to Ding Mansion in a hurry. Ding Fu handed him the imperial edict to the king, wandered around in the living room, screaming and crying.
Zhao Xiaobing saw the edict, his handwriting was sloppy and his ink spread, as if he was wet with sweat. He asked the school beside Ding Fu again, and it was almost a month and a half after the edict had arrived in Chengdu.
In other words, at least one month has passed since Lin'an died, and the imperial edict of the king has only reached Ding Fu's hands, so it's useless.
When he saw Ding Fu calm down, he said, "It is no longer appropriate to mobilize border troops at this moment, as he may be attacked by the Mongolian army. You can discuss with General Cao and let him directly bring troops to serve the king."
The old man woke up. General Cao's soldiers were heading to Kuizhou. He even said yes, yes, yes, that was just right, let Cao go.
Zhao Xiaobing didn't know how to comfort him, so he drank two sips of tea brought by the maid and said goodbye and left.
I thought to myself, I still have to be a king now, what a matter of being diligent, it’s a problem for all the princes to let you pass through.
The next day, he went to the government office to wait for Ding Fu to see the little princess together.
Zhao Xiaobing followed Ding Fu and reported that after etiquette, he was led to the princess wearing a veil hat.
When Ding Fu left, he asked the princess to take off and talk left and right. An old lady next to him was full of anger and scolded him for being bold and rude.
