Chapter 13: The Victory or Defeat of the Soldiers
Zhao Gou sat on the seat and said coldly: "I thought it would be quieter to hide here and drink, but one or two of them used this compartment as a stage, and they were planning to come in and sing." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Bengong ignored him, and rushed over to open the door for Ji Fufeng. As soon as the door opened, I saw two people standing outside, Yun Ling went and returned, and Xiao Yingying stood in front. Ji Fufeng saw the palace and said, "Come rashly to disturb the son, and hope that the son will forgive the sins." ”
"It's okay, come in. As soon as Bengong saw Ji Fufeng, his heart was happy. In the book, it is written that "the posture is good, and the expression is also good", and the palace looks up and down, and Ji Fufeng can be worthy of these eight words.
Ji Fufeng followed Yun Ling into the door and reflexively covered the door. Before the palace could say anything, the two of them lifted the corners of their robes and knelt down and kowtowed: "Weichen (grass people) see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Oh, excuse me, get flat. "This palace gave them a sudden salute? I jumped, thinking that the two of you are acting in unison, and I don't know that I still think that I worship heaven and earth, "Since you are outside, you don't need to be formal." Take a seat. ”
Zhao Gou originally sat fine and didn't say a word, but when he heard this, he glared at the palace. Bengong stared at him inexplicably, but he just called someone to take a seat, and the two nephews and uncles were not outsiders, why did Zhao Gou look humiliated? Bengong thought about it, Zhao Gou was high up in the son of a small family, and Xu had never sat at a table with a poor family like Yun and Ji. But one of these nephews and uncles is the daughter of the princess, and the other is a praiser of the palace, and they are also deeply involved with the royal family, Zhao Gou doesn't give them face, why don't you even give face to my family?
Yun Ling said: "Weichen is terrified. He said that he was terrified, but his face still looked like an old god.
Bengong waved his hand and said: "Travel is simple, everything is appropriate." Since the palace said that it was not formal, Qing should not refuse. ”
Only then did the two of them thank him, and they chose the position of the head and sat down.
Yun Ling sat down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Fang Cai Weichen and his little nephew have dealt with some private affairs downstairs, and they have no intention of disturbing His Highness, so I also asked His Highness to investigate." ”
Bengong slandered, just now when Yun Ling left, he promised not to reveal the whereabouts of Bengong without authorization, but in a blink of an eye, Ji Fufeng was brought over. At this time, it is too blatant to say that Fufeng saw the main palace as a coincidence?
Bengong's mind turned a few times, and after all, he couldn't bear to make Ji Fufeng ugly, so he said, "It's okay." Yun Qing went and returned, is there anything urgent to discuss?" "The last time I broke in, I said that there was an emergency, and I ran away after giving a message unclear, and I didn't know what method I used to lead Fufeng to do it in public. With such a painstaking effort to stuff Fufeng into this compartment, what did Yun Ling want?
Yun Ling said: "Weichen just learned that after King Yan entered Beijing, he actually lived in the Chang'an mansion of the Shen family in Jiangnan. ”
Zhao Gou looked over and said, "You are well-informed, and you have even found out where King Yan lives." ”
Ji Fufeng said: "It's a coincidence. Caomin once had some friendship with Shen Jing, the young head of the Shen family in Jiangnan, and happened to meet him tonight. Just now, he was out of line with his words and deeds, and inadvertently revealed the whereabouts of King Yan. ”
Bengong couldn't help but ask: "Since you have a friendship with that Jiangnan Shen Jing, do you have a friendship with Hua Qinghuan?"
Fufeng was stunned for a moment and replied, "I've met a few times." ”
Bengong was about to ask, but Zhao Gou suddenly interjected: "Shen Yun's words and deeds are out of balance, how can you deduce that King Yan is in Shen Mansion?"
Fufeng said: "When Shen Yi was arguing with the grass people, he mentioned that his wife at home had not lived in the Shen Mansion with him, saying that he had moved out because there was a foreign man in the family who borrowed it. ”
Bengong said suspiciously: "Since the Shen family is extremely rich, the mansion is also big, and a foreign man has borrowed and not lived in all the gardens, why does the woman of the Shen family want to move out? Moreover, the foreign man is not necessarily the king of Yan, right?"
Zhao Gou said: "If I guessed correctly, Shen Jing's wife is from the Yanshan Sima clan, right?"
Ji Fufeng said: "It's Sima's family." ”
Zhao Gou said: "Then it's no wonder. ”
Bengong was curious: "What kind of riddle are you playing, and what about the Sima clan?"
Zhao Gou smiled and said, "This is also your family's secret." Do you know that Gu Huaiheng once ordered a family affair? Your father and emperor had already planned to send him to Yandi, but he finally knew that he would find a good father-in-law family as a backer, so he chose Sima Nanfeng, the eldest daughter of the Sima family in Yanshan. was already about to exchange ceremonies with the Sima family, but Gu Huaiheng didn't know which crazy person to draw and begged to marry Wang Taifu's young daughter in public. How could the Wang family look down on him? After pulling the skin, it didn't work out after all. In this way, Sima was also furious, and Sima Nanfeng even threatened to disagree with Gu Huaiheng. When the Sima clan made such a fuss, your father was not happy, so he found a reason to move the Sima clan from Yanshan to Jiangdong. Sima Nanfeng also married Shen Ying at that time, right? Count these two people are still newly married. ”
Ji Fufeng said: "It's exactly what Lord Zhao said. ”
Since this palace is my family's secret, how can this palace not know? I suddenly remembered that before last year, this palace was still trapped in a corner of the palace city, and life and death have not yet been discussed, not to mention such royal secrets. So he pretended to be calm and said, "How could King Yan live in the Shen family?"
Yun Ling said: "The Shen family is a huge rich man in Jiangdong, and more than half of the officialdom in Jiangdong are in-laws of the Shen family. King Yan acted like this, and he should have been implicated in the Jiangdong faction. ”
Bengong subconsciously glanced at Zhao Gou. It's Rouran again, it's Jiangdong again, and it's still picking to enter Beijing at this time, does King Yan want to rebel?
Zhao Gou said: "You just rely on Shen Ying's words, you can conclude that such a big thing is too damning." ”
Yun Ling said: "Lord Zhao is right. It's just that after the lower officials looked through the records of the former Lantai Order, they found that three months ago, His Majesty had called Lantai's "Clan Chronicles", and the genealogies of almost all the nobles in Jiangdong had been turned over. ”
Hongu said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”
Ji Fufeng said: "Your Highness, there is no coincidence in the world. ”
Hongu suddenly had nothing to say. A few months ago, Prince Shen was newly mourned, the Zhao Mansion collapsed, and the Tian family took advantage of the situation, and the position of the prince fell to the head of the palace. The only two younger brothers in the palace, one Gu Huaiheng was sixteen years old and the other Gu Huaixian was fourteen years old, and they were immediately sent out of Chang'an and rushed to their respective fiefdoms. It seems that the father is very considerate of the palace and avoids the competition of brothers for the palace.
But the mother concubine of this palace is still the "concubine of the Emperor Xian". The back seat is vacant, and there are still people in the palace who are confused and uneasy.
The Tian family's eagerness to ask his father to hold the crown ceremony of the palace as soon as possible may not be a warning. And his father's compromise, is it just his temporary forbearance?
The maternal ancestor of this palace once competed with Zhao Yuanting. The three uncles of the main palace also fought the battlefield to establish meritorious deeds. The aunts and cousins of the palace are all married into the family, and they are willing to be a pawn in the battle between the Tian family and the Zhao family.
Empress Zhao was arrogant, and the mother concubine of the palace had been low and small in the palace for many years. As the prince of the Tian family, the palace has also been suppressed by Prince Zhao Shen for many years.
Years of hard work, is it going to be ruined?
"There are three buckets of wine in the world, Zhao Yidou, Gu Yidou, and the rest of the families have a bucket. "For as long as I can remember, there have been similar proverbs like children's proverbs, which have sounded in my ears over and over again.
Zhao Banchao has been Xuanhe for more than 20 years, why can't my Tian family?
"Since King Yan didn't come with good intentions, what should you do to deal with Yunqing and Fufeng?"
Zhao Gou glanced at the palace in surprise, "Huaizhang." ”
Hongu knew what he wanted to say.
Yun and Ji's overtures came too suddenly and too suddenly.
Even if Ji Xiang is the praiser of the palace, he is from the side room after all, and he is not the next head of the Ji family. The attitude of the Ji family is still unclear. Yun Ling married the only daughter of the third aunt, which can be regarded as inheriting the power of the eldest princess of Jingyang. However, the third aunt did not take the initiative to express her support for Yun Ling.
Bengong discovered that the Tian family, which seemed to be thriving, was actually isolated. On the contrary, in the process of overthrowing the Zhao family, the Tian family, as a pioneer, made many enemies.
Yun and Ji are unreliable. But if you can be under your command, it's better than the opposite.
"If you have an idea, it's okay to say it. Hongu insisted.
Ji Fufeng said: "Your Highness, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you deal with it appropriately." Your Majesty's plan now is what we have to consider. King Yan's trip was undoubtedly for the Rouran War. His Majesty has not yet decided on the deployment of the Liangzhou military town, and whether this battle should be fought or not has not yet been decided. Your Majesty's meaning, maybe it is better not to fight. Before, we all speculated that His Majesty would choose to make peace this time, but now it seems that His Majesty has other plans. ”
Yun Ling said: "Although King Rouran Xiutu lost the position of crown prince, the forces and tribes of King Rouran Khan still regard him as the master. This time, he followed King Yan into Beijing, probably to return to the tent of King Rouran with the help of the power of our dynasty. ”
Zhao Gou interrupted: "Impossible. Our dynasty has a blood feud with Rouran for generations, even if Chang'an edict is issued to help King Hugh slaughter, the border soldiers will not agree. ”
Ji Fufeng said: "This plan is to divide the royal power of Rouran, so that Rouran will be mired in civil strife and power struggle, and there will be no time to look east. Zhang Pinghou is eloquent and strategic, and he has the same heart and mind as His Majesty, which may not be incomprehensible. ”
Zhao Gou sneered: "You are as hypocritical and boring as you Wenchen as a soldier, even if my father has this intention, it is impossible for him to give this order." The forbearance cultivated by fighting to the death on the battlefield is not something that you can change at will. ”
Ji Fufeng said: "Soldier, treacherous." ”
Zhao Gou became more and more impatient: "What a fart! On the battlefield, can you ask those who were killed by the Rouran Tartars, raped their wives and daughters, and seized the fields to help the Tartars? Once this kind of order is issued, the mutiny of the soldiers is considered light!"
Ji Fufeng was tepid, and said calmly: "The land of fish and rice in Jiangdong, the grain depot of the world, represented by the Shen family, has already responded to His Majesty's plan, and the military resources and grain and grass are sufficient; ”
Zhao Gou sneered, shook his head and sighed to Bengong: "Huaizhang, do you believe in such a scholar who can only talk about soldiers on paper?" He looked at Yun Ji and the others, and the contempt and ridicule in his eyes were undisguised: "If you want to talk about military books, I will talk to you about military books." If you run for thousands of miles, you will pout the general, do you understand what it means? The soldiers in the land of Yan Zhao are strong and strong, and when they are pulled to Xiliang, they will become thin horses and remnants, with declining morale and no fighting spirit. The army is not like your domestic slaves, who use it everywhere they go. Not to mention the fatigue of long-distance travel, the time required to transfer troops is not at all guaranteed by the current situation. No matter how abundant Jiangdong's grain and grass are, can it be blown to Liangzhou by a gust of wind? In two or three months, the baggage cannot be transported, and the transfer of troops is just empty talk. ”
Zhao Gou looked at the palace and said sternly: "What Chen Bing said about the border pass, it's all a joke." Da Zhou can only rely on the existing army in Liangzhou now, and at least for three months, Liangzhou's gains and losses are the most important thing in the world. This time, even if your father doesn't want to be married, he must be married!"
