Ling Hufeng's intentions are easy to guess, but it is also to take into account Xin Er's shallow foundation in the court, in order to improve his weight, because he is playing with his mind, he got a "wordless order", so that those important ministers of the court are suspicious and jealous, and dare not easily exclude and suppress him.

However, with Xin Er's understanding of Linghu Feng, his decree must not only be for Xin Er's strong momentum, but also from another aspect, he is still using Xin Er as a knife and roasting him on the fire. The content of Wang Ling, even Yang Xian is so curious, let alone others. If this royal decree is not announced for a day, such as Song, Yan and others, they will not be at ease for a day when facing Xin Er.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Xin Er secretly thought that Ling Hufeng's trick was more suitable for the evaluation of Yang Fashion's "wonderful" compared with his not killing Song Fang and replacing Fu Qiao into the dynasty.

It is not difficult to guess the starting point of the suggestion of inviting the court and sealing the marquis Xiner.

Yang Chao said: "'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.'" 'The letter to the general and the county marquis is nothing more than to let the general 'show in the forest'. ”

This dynasty set the county marquis is the third grade, Xin Er is the fifth grade township product, was ordered to fox to rudely raise the two grades, now it is the third grade, on this product, etc., it is indeed possible to worship the county marquis.

But although Xin Er's qualifications are sufficient, it is indeed as Yang Chao said, the wide way of the recital, its heart is unpredictable, on the surface it is to raise Xin Er, but in fact, it is the desire to suppress and the first to rise.

You know, after all, Dingxi is a kingdom, the biggest is the king, there are not many counties in the territory, and there are not many feudal feuds for the courtiers as food, from the founding of the country to the present, with the clan men as marquis, women as the lord of the clan together, there are only more than 20 people. Now, there is only one Koji Shuo, and Koji Shuo was only worshipped after Ling Hu Feng ascended the throne last year.

How can he be virtuous?

Lu Shuihu, Rouran, and Shuo Fang, such military merits, neither opened up the size of the land for the Dingxi country, nor did they capture any of the leading figures of the enemy country, nor did they have any outstanding figures like Koji Shuo, as a foreign relative, and a great merit, what capital dare to be a marquis?

If Linghu's wordless order is to roast Xin Er on the fire, then this proposal is a fire pit.

After studying with Linghu Feng for a year, coupled with the experience of his previous life, Xin Er is also politically minded now, of course, he will not be broad.

Therefore, despite the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the fact that the feudal marquis was one of the greatest hopes of the scholars, Xin Er still planned to refuse the invitation of the scholars.

Pan Kuan didn't just talk about worshipping Xin Er, but also included Koji Shuang in the list.

Koji Shuang didn't give in and accepted it happily.

Zhang Gu said with a smile: "I underestimate the general too much. Is a general a man who covets vanity? ”

There is a saying: a rising tide lifts all boats. There are clouds again: one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Xin Er became the minister of Gu Ming, and Zhang Gui was his main adviser, and his influence and status in the royal capital were also different from what they used to be. Put it in a year, no, even half a year ago, how could you have thought that you would have such a day? Zhang Gu is now in high spirits and full of energy.

Xin Er said: "Reading "Zhuangzi" closely, "Zi Du does not see the sacrificial ox of the suburban sacrifice"? Win my heart! Fame and fortune are like clouds to me! ”

This is not pretending to be high, it is Xin Er's sincere words.

Whether it is a Hou or a king, just a name, they are all "floating clouds". If you want to gain a firm foothold, you still rely on strength.

Xin Er said to Yang Chao: "Excuse the letter of invitation in the rule of law, and let Lao Qing ghostwrite it for me!" ”

Sheep fashion should be.

Zhang Gu said: "General, dare to ask when you are going to write a letter to ask Qianyang to join the army as a direct soldier of the Central Army?" ”

"Let's wait for the old man to arrive."

Since Linghu Feng's death, Xin Er has been busy with his funeral and Linghu Feng's succession ceremony, and has many secret discussions with Yang Chao and Zhang Gui to plan the future political policy.

As of now, the three have roughly agreed.

The three of them agreed that the administrative power of the DPRK and China was now mostly controlled by the lord clans and was difficult to fight, and since this was the case, they simply continued to focus on military power. The famous saying that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" is undoubtedly believed by Xin Er.

Among the military powers, the first thing to grasp must be the military power of the royal capital.

Nowadays, the forbidden army of the royal capital is composed of four parts, one part is Cao Fei's army, one part is the army of Lu Shuang, including the army under the command of the clan Linghu Qu, one part is the army of Xin Er, and the other is the wings and power of Song, Yan, Zhang and other families in the army. The soldiers and horses of the four components are basically the same, all of them are 5,000 paces up and down, but in terms of combat effectiveness, Cao Fei leads the first-class elite Taima battalion in Dingxi, and its troops have the highest combat effectiveness; There are a small number of peony rides in the Koji Shuang department, and the combat power is not low.

As for Xin Er, most of his subordinates are lightly armed Hu cavalry who have just been formed, and there are not many armor cavalry, but they are not as good as Cao Fei and not as good as Koji Shuang.

In this context, Cao Fei's importance is highlighted.

Therefore, if you want to seize the power of the forbidden army in the royal capital, you must continue to pull Cao Fei into your own ship.

In this regard, Xin Er is not worried.

First, the two have an old friendship.

Two, that night Xin Er said to Cao Fei that he had made a divination, and Linghu Feng would wake up soon, but Linghu Feng really woke up, which made Cao Fei admire him so much that he almost wanted to regard him as a god.

The combination of the two, although it can't be called a bowing head, but now for Xin Er, who has been a "god man" and has regained the bonus of "Minister of Care", Cao Fei is almost obedient.

With Cao Fei as an ally, at least for now, half of the forbidden army in the royal capital is already in the hands of Xin Er.

Linghu Feng married Linghu Yan to Xin Er, and Xin Er became the "foreign family" of the Linghu family, and the Linghu family was in-law. In the next step, Xin Er plans to use this new identity to see if he can recruit the general of the army Ling Huqu to his subordinates.

Linghu Qu's troops accounted for nearly one-third of Lu Shuang's troops, and if he could be subdued, it would not only damage Lu Shuang's military strength, but also be equivalent to planting a nail in Lu Shuang's troops, so that he could know his every move at any time.

In this way, the military power of the forbidden army of the royal capital is basically dominated by Xiner.

However, whether it can win over Linghu Qu or not, Xin Er is not sure. He is the "outsider" of the Linghu clan, and so is Koji Shuang. In terms of identity, Xin Er is not very dominant, and can only be regarded as evenly matched with Koji Shuang. Xin Er pondered that he had to start somewhere else.

The forbidden army is the first thing to grasp the military power of the royal capital; Secondly, there is another one, that is, the middle soldier Cao and the direct soldier Cao of the governor's mansion.

The two Cao soldiers of the middle army and the direct army directly managed all the military affairs of the forbidden army in the various battalions of the royal capital, and their importance is self-evident.

This is the suggestion of Yang Fu to remove the matter of Yang Fu moving to join the army. In the past, it was not good to let Yang Fu be the chief of the key departments of the Governor's Office, but now that the situation has changed, it is okay. Xin Er thinks deeply about this discussion of sheep.

After listening to Xin Er's answer, Zhang Gu pondered for a moment and said: "The general just recommended Fu Jun to remove the canon order, and the canon order and the central direct soldiers to join the army are all important positions in the imperial court, and it is good to delay the matter of sheep joining the army for two days." ”

Once a son of heaven, a courtier.

Ling Hu Feng passed away, Ling Hu Le ascended to the throne, everyone knows that the personnel of the DPRK and China will usher in major changes.

At this time, relying on the prestige of caring for his life, it is certainly necessary to place cronies in key departments, but it seems that it is not appropriate to be in a hurry, so as not to fall into the eyes of others, feel that he is anxious, or will cause hostility.

Yang Chao said: "General, at this moment, all parties in the DPRK and China are divided into thoughts, the situation is unclear, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. The lower official is still that opinion, and after stabilizing the forbidden army of the royal capital, instead of mixing in this muddy water, the general still writes to ask to go out as soon as possible! ”

There are three benefits to requesting to go out.

One is to leave the "troubled waters" of the royal capital and withdraw from it. Another is to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to control the forbidden army and include part of the "foreign army" in the palm of your hand. Third, it can lead to greater merit.

The storage target of the foreign army has been chosen.

Longdong is the territory of Koji Shuo, and Koji Shuo has been operating there for decades, so don't even think about it.

Except for Longdong, Longzhong is not good, or it is not impossible, it is not necessary, except for the West County in Longzhong because of the terrain there are more garrisons, other counties do not have many soldiers and horses, at most there are hundreds of county soldiers, it is not worth the moment.

The rest are Longxi and Longbei.

Longxi is the Dunhuang garrison, and Longbei is the Xihai garrison.

Xin Er planned to take down both of these two troops.

If you want to take it, you have to have an excuse.

After discussions with Yang Chao and Zhang Gui, the excuse was already there.

That is: In recent years, several countries in the Western Regions have not given the West to pay tribute, and Xin Er decided to write to the Central Committee and request the use of troops in the Western Regions.

If you fight the Western Regions, Dunhuang is adjacent to the Western Regions, and the garrison of its county must be brought, Beigong Yue has been in Dunhuang, is familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, and was once a general under the supervision of Xin'er, and it is natural to transfer him to lead the army into the army.

Xin Er nodded and said, "At the latest next year, in the summer, I will write a letter to ask for war." ”

The ox cart stopped and reached the gate of the governor's house.

Xin Er told the two of them to get out of the car and said, "The middle palace sent someone to send an order yesterday to tell me to enter the palace in the afternoon to discuss something." You two go home first. Shidao, don't forget to go and personally invite Sun Danong and Tang Sima to my house for a banquet in the evening. I've got all the wine. ”

Yang Chao smiled and replied, "Yes." ”

The snow doesn't stop falling, and there are few people on the streets.

The wheels crumbled against the snow.

Out of the middle city, enter the north city where Lingjuntai is located.

Xin Er lifted the curtain, looked outward, looked at the approaching palace building, the sun was hidden behind the clouds, dyed with a faint halo, reminded him of a touch of goose yellow. It was the makeup that Zuo painted on his cheeks when he saw Zuo the day before yesterday.

Ling Hule is young and can't handle national politics, and the Zuo family is now in the dynasty as the "Queen Mother".

Zuo has no experience in governance, and can only listen to the opinions of Chen Sun, Pan Kuan and other important ministers on many things, but before making a final decision, she will always ask Xin Er's opinion. In the past month, the number of meetings between Xin Er and Zuo has skyrocketed, and every day or two, Zuo will summon him, sometimes in the Four Seasons Palace, sometimes in Lingjuntai.

From time to time in the past few days, the two of them have the illusion of a trance, like the time of the pig field, seeing each other day and night.
