Chapter 207: Great Calamity
This secret report came from Longxiwei, Longxiwei, which is adjacent to Xijiangwei, and the person who sent the letter was Pang Zhen, the general of Xijiangwei.
The content of this secret report is very simple, the soldiers of the Daoxi Frontier Guard have rioted recently, and they want to ask the court for an explanation, and what they did is the assassination of Fu Ming; Now, the riot of Xijiangwei is suppressed by the Fu family, and I don't know if it will come out in the end.
Therefore, Pang Zhen specially sent an urgent secret report, the purpose of which was to let the emperor know the military situation in the western frontier, and if there was a mutiny among the guards in the western frontier, the imperial court could also prepare as soon as possible.
This secret report was a few words, every word was like a thorn, constantly stabbing Emperor Chongde's heart, and finally made his hands tremble with anger, and he almost broke the precious white jade Nine Dragons paperweight.
rioted, discussed the law, may mutiny, and was pressed by the Fu family...... Such a simple word illustrates a grim fact, a fact that Emperor Chongde absolutely cannot accept, that is, this Wei is vaguely out of the control of the imperial court!
The Western Frontier Guard is a special location, with more soldiers than other guards, with a total of 150,000 soldiers. Now, among these 150,000 people, there has been a riot, just for a Fu Ming!
Yiwei rebelled for one person, and he still wanted to ask the court for an explanation, a lawyer, and a lawyer, what kind of explanation?! Xijiangwei belongs to the imperial court, how can he discuss the law? In the eyes of Xijiangwei, what is the imperial court? What is an emperor himself?
What's even more terrifying is that the Fu family can suppress the riot of Xijiangwei, if it weren't for Pang Zhen's urgent letter, the imperial court would not have received any news! This shows that the Fu family can turn over the clouds and rain in the Western Xinjiang Guard, riot if they want to, and suppress it if they want to. This extraordinary ability to control is what Emperor Chongde fears the most.
The Western Frontier Guard, who is not subject to the imperial court and the imperial power, is tantamount to a rebellion in the eyes of Emperor Chongde at this moment! The fifteen people of the Western Xinjiang Guard are still guarding the border between Dading and Dasheng, if they rebel, they will definitely make Dading shake violently!
Xijiangwei, Fu Tong, Fu Huaide! Well, that's good......
That's all sorts of thoughts. Echoing in the heart of Emperor Chongde. made his eyes red, and his appearance of cracking teeth made Chang Kang, who was accompanying him, shudder a few times.
Chang Kang has been by Emperor Chongde's side for many years, and he has seen Emperor Chongde's anger countless times. But not once did he feel so frightened. What's going on? What does this secret letter say?
Chang Kang bowed his waist and shrunk back. When. In the end, I didn't dare to ask Emperor Chongde why this was. He felt that he was just a minion. Fortunately, he soon heard Emperor Chongde's instructions.
"Order Xue Shoufan and Huo Tao to enter the palace quickly!" The voice of Emperor Chongde. It seems to have brought nine days of cold snow, and the cold air of the forest is blowing in the face.
"Minions command!" Chang Kang immediately responded, saluted Emperor Chongde, and hurriedly withdrew from the Zichen Palace, and ordered the little chamberlain to pass the order.
Hearing the urgent summons of Xue Shoufan and Huo Tao, Chang Kang knew that this secret report must be a major event in the army. What happened in the army? He didn't know for a while, but he was the head of the inner chamberlain, and he would know it eventually, and he wouldn't be in a hurry.
When Xue Shoufan and Huo Tao received the order, it was already the end of the day. At such an hour, the emperor still has an urgent call, something must have happened. Realizing this, neither of them dared to slack off, quickly put on their official uniforms, and rushed to the palace all the time, their heartbeats were faster than usual.
The guards of the palace gate bureau had already received the news, and they immediately let them go when they showed the talismans, without much inspection. This loose attitude showed that Zichen Hall was in a hurry, which made Xue Shoufan and Huo Tao even more nervous.
"Lord Xue, what is the matter with the emperor's urgent summons? What do you hear? Huo Tao lowered his voice and asked Xue Shoufan cautiously.
"Xia Guan has not heard any news. So, adults don't know what's going on? Xue Shoufan shook his head, his expression extremely stern.
The two generals glanced at each other, and both saw the meaning of the coming storm in each other's eyes. There is no need to guess, the gate of the Zichen Hall is already close at hand. When they knew what was going on, they couldn't believe their ears.
"Xijiangwei riots? How could this be ......" Huo Tao couldn't help but shout when he saw the secret letter, if it wasn't for Xue Shoufan secretly pulling his sleeve, he would have lost his temper even more. Now it's in the Gozen, the Gozen!
The secretary of the military department is in charge of the military orders of the soldiers and horses, and even he, the secretary of the military department, has not received an urgent report, and Huo Tao feels that the accuracy of the news of the Xijiangwei riot still needs to be studied.
Moreover, the secret report of the Sixteen Guards should be transmitted to the military department first, and Pang Zhen actually crossed the military department and directly sent the secret report to the imperial front, which made Huo Tao a little annoyed, but it was inconvenient to attack.
Pang Zhen's Longxi Wei and Xijiang Wei are adjacent to each other, and there are many scouts between the two guards to infiltrate each other, which is also a rule that is not in the Dading army. In this regard, the imperial court adopted a tacit attitude, and even encouraged neighboring guards to contain each other to ensure the transparency and accuracy of information in the army.
After all, with containment, there is less concealment, which is the way of the emperor and his majesty, and the same is true for the army.
It is very possible that Longxiwei can get the most accurate and fastest news from Xijiangwei. However, the Fu family is famous for its strict management of the army, and Fu Tong is known as the "old fox in the army". The Fu family is not stupid!
Is the news of the Xijiangwei riot really accurate? Huo Tao was skeptical.
Xue Shoufan also expressed his doubts on the side. It's not that they don't believe Pang Zhen's secret report, but they just subconsciously hope that this secret report is not true, 150,000 soldiers, if it is a riot, or a rebellion, this is another disaster that will make the people bleed and break their bones, the mountains and rivers are not easy to come by, they really don't want to see such a scene.
"Huo Tao, I want to replace the general of the Western Frontier Guard, as for the candidate to succeed, you submit a list to me; Xue Shoufan, I ordered you to leave for Xijiangwei immediately, I want to know all the dynamics of Xijiangwei! Emperor Chongde half-squinted, calmly ordered, and the anger just now was gone. Hold down
While waiting for Huo Tao and Xue Shoufan, Emperor Chongde had gradually calmed down. He believes that what Pang Zhen said in this secret letter must be true, such a heavy military situation, the timid and fearful Pang Zhen will not dare to falsely report, this must be true!
In any case, the position of General of the Western Frontier Guard must be replaced! Fu Jia...... I've been in this position for too long. The secret report of this riot directly ignited the fire of jealousy in Emperor Chongde's heart, and he could never bear the Fu family covering the sky with one hand in the western frontier!
Change...... Will? Huo Tao and Xue Shoufan were stunned for a moment, so that they didn't react at once. They also thought that the emperor would discuss with them and report secretly, but the emperor directly ordered them to prepare for the change of generals.
So, is the Xijiangwei riot conclusive? The emperor is going to run the Fu family? This...... this
"Your Majesty...... Changing the general's involvement, the minister thought that it was not appropriate to be hasty, and the matter was ......" Huo Tao stood up, knelt in front of Emperor Chongde and said pleadingly, and Xue Shoufan of course knelt down with him.
However, before Huo Tao's words were finished, Emperor Chongde gently knocked on the white jade paperweight, and said in a calm tone: "Two Aiqing, I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" β
Emperor Chongde's gaze finally fell on Xue Shoufan. And Xue Shoufan seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly turned pale, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at Emperor Chongde.
