Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 67 Chang'an is uneasy
"But there are some things you have to know, no one can take people away at will in Chang'an, under the nose of His Majesty, not even me!"
Coldly, An Dinghou suddenly came up with such a sentence.
In Chang'an City, there are 100,000 forbidden troops and are heavily guarded.
Not to mention the Marquis of Anding, even if the king of Pingnan returned to Beijing, he could only bring 3,000 soldiers and horses into Beijing.
"I can only bring a thousand tiger guards, and the seven hundred people in the period need to be stationed outside the city."
Xi Yuanxiu looked at An Dinghou with a smile and said, "Uncle doesn't think I'm going to rob the prison!" ”
An Dinghou thought of the guards beside the prince who brought him a handwritten book, and shook his head with a smile.
can stretch his ears, eyes and eyes into the palace, and he must not be brutal.
"I'm a little curious about your current methods, but I won't ask more, but if you have such skills, why do you need to use me?"
Xi Yuanxiu finished eating the last piece of shiitake mushrooms on the plate, touched his stomach with satisfaction, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and replied, "I need your attitude!" ”
Andinghou said: "On the side of Lord Xiangguo? ”
"Yes, you don't need to send troops, let alone use force, you just need to go to Xifu in person the first thing after returning to Beijing!"
Xi Yuanxiu looked at each other seriously.
An old minister of the former Xiangguo, now a first-class military marquis, after returning to Beijing, he did not face the saint, and first went to visit the old mansion of the criminal minister, which goes without saying.
An Dinghou looked at Xi Yuanxiu intently and said, "What's the difference between this and sending troops?" ”
"But don't forget, Chang'an is already uneasy!"
Chang'an is already uneasy, Xi Fang was imprisoned six years ago, and Andinghou was poisoned three years ago, Chang'an has long been uneasy.
But His Majesty seems to know nothing, or it may be true, as rumors say, that his life is short.
There is a poet in the market who said: The spring night is bitter and short, and the king does not go to court early.
Except for the salt case, it was three months ago since the last early dynasty.
Today's Emperor Jing does not have a harem of three thousand, because one queen is enough.
It may not be that Emperor Jing's life is short, but that Jingguo.
"How are you and the girl of the Wang family now?"
An Dinghou suddenly asked Xi Yuanxiu.
Ten years ago, Xi Yuanxiu and the young lady of the Wang family in the capital hit it off at first sight.
As everyone knows, everything in the world, creation makes people, how can the young lady of the Yaxiang family and the son of the Xiangguo be together.
How can Emperor Jing tolerate all the power and hold it in one family?
Therefore, the two can only be called brother and sister, and they have not made a marriage contract.
"Autumn mercy, I occasionally write some letters."
Andinghou looked at Xi Yuanxiu with his head down, constantly drawing circles on the table, and felt a little interesting.
Andinghou smiled: "It's better to go back to Chang'an, and I will propose marriage on behalf of Lord Xiangguo!" ”
Xi Yuanxiu felt as if he had misheard, rubbed his eyes, felt that it was wrong, rubbed his ears again, and looked at An Dinghou, who was a little kind for a while, in surprise.
Xi Yuanxiu now has an extra habit, he likes to touch the hilt of the soft sword on his waist.
He rubbed the hilt of his sword incessantly, and the shy look on his face had the same shyness as a child's face, but it quickly calmed down.
"Uncle don't make fun of his nephew, let's put the matter of children's love behind!"
"This is not a trivial matter of children's love, Wang Jin is no longer the submissive submissive minister in front of your father back then, don't forget, he is now the prime minister of Jingguo!"
The royal family in the capital, three generations are the prime minister, if there is no Xi Fang, Wang Jin should be the third prime minister of Jingguo.
It's just that no one thought back then that Xi Fang, a small companion by the prince's side, could go to a position below one person and above ten thousand.
"Back then, Wang Jin also interceded for your father, and the two had a good personal relationship, if you become the son-in-law of the Wang family now, I think Wang Jin will help you a little bit!"
Xi Yuanxiu didn't agree with Andinghou's words.
"But if my father is really released from prison, then isn't this position of Xiangguo?"
An Dinghou understood Xi Yuanxiu's thoughts, if Xi Fang was released from prison, I was afraid that Wang Jin's position would not be guaranteed.
An Dinghou looked at Xi Yuanxiu and said with a smile: "If Lord Xiangguo is really released from prison, how can our majesty let him ascend to such a position again!" ”
Waste phase, standing phase, change phase.
It's inappropriate.
"In this officialdom, which official does not have some people who are attached to him, six years have passed, and this court is no longer your Xi family, not to mention that Your Majesty has lingering palpitations, even those officials who are officials in the court will not agree!"
Xi Yuanxiu agreed with An Dinghou's remarks.
People who are officials in the court, not to mention that they want to climb up, or want to be stable, they must have a backer.
Wang Jin and Chai Song had already divided the ministers in the court into two, and Xi Fang's old ministry had already been swept away.
Even if Xi Fang sat in that position again and started to do things, he would be helpless.
However, Jingguo's military is still very clean, and it has to be clean.
In the Quartet Army, Li Yuanyan, the King of Liang, naturally needless to say, the old Li family's own army must have strict military discipline.
Zhao Wei, who was stationed in the north, was once a guard in front of Emperor Jing, and his loyalty was self-evident.
King Pingnan in the south, Emperor Jing's younger brother, needless to say.
Only the stable marquis of the eastern border is incomprehensible.
He also used to protect the king of Qin, and he also disobeyed orders, but in general, he was also loyal to Jingguo.
The important thing is that there is a military discipline in the military that was written by Xi Fang himself.
If it is found that there is a conspiracy against the rebellion, and those who form a party for personal gain, they will be cut first and then played.
So not only because of these commanders, but also because of this iron law, no one dares to stretch out their hands to the army, and no one in the army dares to contaminate the court.
Xi Yuanxiu's face couldn't help but feel a little more happy.
"In that case, then let's ask my uncle to take a trip!"
Andinghou waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just pushing the boat with the current!" ”
When the two of them completely put down the dishes and chopsticks, Andinghou's guards naturally came in from outside the door and started to clean up the leftovers.
Xi Yuanxiu glanced at all the tiger guards wearing iron masks outside the door, and couldn't help asking, "Is there not even a person to talk to by my uncle's side now?" ”
"It's not a good thing that there are more people to talk to you!"
Xi Yuanxiu knew that he had lost his words, so he didn't speak again.
Instead, An Dinghou continued calmly: "It seems that you have a good relationship with Xu Lai!" ”
Xi Yuanxiu replied as if he was joking: "Wine and meat friends! ”
"What a friend of wine and meat!"
Xi Yuanxiu looked at An Dinghou and asked cautiously, "Did you tell Xue Luping about Xue Luyuan!" ”
Andinghou replied calmly: "No, if he knew, he would definitely resent me like the prince of Anping, it is better to let him know that his cousin is defending the country and fighting with others!" ”
Xi Yuanxiu didn't ask any more questions, and An Dinghou didn't speak again.
After the dinner in this Guangxing Building, Xi Yuanxiu knew that the day he returned to Beijing was one day closer.
