Chapter 157: Sit and Watch
Fang Xu discussed with the general, who else was more suspicious besides Fu Shangshu, analyzed and analyzed, and found that everyone was suspicious.
This will Fang Xu understand why the general can't make up his mind, it's really hard to determine who is the inner ghost, the other party is too cunning.
"So it seems that everyone in the military department is suspicious." Fang Xu concluded.
"Yes, so it's hard to investigate this matter, and all the power I can use has been used, and I still don't have a clue, and the more I investigate, the more chaotic it becomes."
The general put away the information and sat down opposite Fang Xu again, with a sad face.
"If the Dingguo Mansion falls, who is most likely to benefit?" Fang Xu asked.
"It is most likely that the three of Lu Guogongfu, General Cheng, and General Lu, but in the end, it is difficult to say who will benefit, after all, who can take over the 100,000 troops at the border pass is decided by the emperor."
The general shrugged his shoulders, understanding that Fang Xu was trying to start from the perspective of whose interests, and she had also pushed backwards in this regard, and also failed to come to a conclusion.
"Is the relationship between General Cheng and the Lu Guogong Mansion really as incompatible as it seems?" A light flashed in Fang Xu's mind, and he didn't catch it too quickly.
So he asked the question.
The general pondered for a long time before he began to analyze the relationship between General Cheng and the Lu Guogong Mansion.
If you want to say that it doesn't matter, it's impossible to drop, General Cheng is the concubine of the previous Duke of Lu, because he was dissatisfied with his father's partiality, so he cut off his finger and returned the favor and broke away from the Duke of Lu's mansion.
General Cheng is a ruthless man, he did not rely on the power of the Lu Guogong Mansion, and made great contributions on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, which is why he has today's status.
It's just that the relationship with the Lu Guogong Mansion has not gone further, on the contrary, it has always been hostile to the Lu Guogong Mansion, and the current Lu Guogong is a brother, but it is an existence that can start a fight without saying a word.
Both of them have fought in the court.
Just because of his father's partiality, he cut off his fingers, isn't this too? Anyway, Fang Xu thinks it's quite ridiculous, is Shengen so easy to decide?
There must be something else going on here, and when I go back and ask my father a thing or two, I can't tell my father that he will know the inside story.
Fang Xu thought about it in his heart, and told the general about the story of Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Han's tearing, and bluntly said that the ladies of the two mansions were played bad by the second prince.
The general smiled and did not say a word, but he was quiet and fast-talking, and he broke the truth and appearance.
"Young master, as long as the second prince is not engaged for a day, then Miss Cheng will have the opportunity to marry the second prince, and the power in General Cheng's hands is not lower than that of the Han family, why don't they fight.
In case the second prince succeeds in winning the heir, then Miss Cheng is still a concubine no matter how poor she is, and Mrs. Cheng will fight for this, General Cheng has been pressed by the Lu Guogong Mansion, and Mrs. Cheng is unwilling.
General Cheng is old, and it is difficult to climb up by relying on military merits, and nepotism is the best shortcut, with less investment and greater returns.
Maybe he can be the emperor's grandfather in the future, this temptation and confusion are big enough.
Anyway, no one can say what will happen in the future, as long as you dare to think about it, it is possible to achieve it.
Jing Hao exaggerated guessing the Cheng family's thoughts, Fang Xu listened with disgust, and when Jing Hao finished speaking, Fang Xu turned his head and said to the general:
"Whether rich or poor in the future, our sons and daughters must not become victims of profit.
What kind of life do you want to live, as long as we work hard enough, we can work hard with our ability. ”
The general nodded with a red face, she agreed with Xianggong's idea, but this idea was difficult to implement, and she was afraid that their children would have to accept the emperor's marriage in the future.
Look at the marriage of the current princess of the family, as long as there is some use value, which one has not been concerned by the emperor, unless they live an ordinary life in the future.
It's just that, hehe, as a general, her ordinary life is too far away from her, her current position can only advance, not retreat, and no matter how bad it is, she must hold her current position.
Retire or die!
"Did all this money be used to buy military rations?" The general asked, changing the subject.
"First send two months' military rings to the soldiers, and then make up the rest of the military rings later, anyway, this time will be gathered, and the rest of the silver will be used to buy grain."
Fang Xu looked up at the sky, the silver was still not enough.
The general snorted, and there was a pain in his flesh.
Two months of military sound is 100,000 snowflake silver, this is not counting the generals, the soldiers are ringing, the generals will naturally have to be issued, and there is not much left after the silver earned today is sent to the army.
Alas! Raising an army of 100,000 is a money-burning job.
"It's okay to drag on the military sound for a while, so that the emperor can squeeze the silver out." Jing Hao interjected, I don't understand why the army is going to sound first, isn't the most important thing about military rations?
"The military can't be delayed, the soldiers are all family people, they can drag it up, but what about their families?" Fang Xu looked out the window, "Their family can't afford it." ”
"Xianggong makes sense, soldiers are in the barracks, and they can survive with or without money, but their families are different, and it is a problem to eat without money."
The general answered, especially understanding Fang Xu's thoughts, some people really couldn't afford to delay.
"By the way, the three princes are all circling around Princess Xiangxiang, what do you think about this?"
Fang Xu asked, with a strange look on his face, those three goods had the idea of fighting the general before, but now they were circling around Xiangxiang like pugs, I really couldn't understand what they were thinking.
"Sit and watch." The general had a rare sense of humor, and sent Fang Xu's little routine back, Fang Xu grinned when he heard it, then sit back and watch.
"The royal family has no affection, and there is no love, they can pursue any woman for profit, even if the other party is extremely ugly."
Speaking of this, the general shook his head again, expressing sympathy for those girls who wanted to marry into the prince's mansion, there is no love and no family affection, why do you marry into that cold courtyard.
Is power that important? It's important to ride the happiness of your life.
"You can see it." Fang Xu praised it, he saw it so thoroughly, he could rest assured, the general would not be tempted by any prince, because he saw it too clearly.
Knowing that there is a fire pit in front of him, and jumping into it, what kind of stupidity does it have to be, anyway, his general is not stupid.
The general was about to speak, and Pan'er ran in from outside, with an excited smile on her face, and at a glance she knew that the girl had gossiped again.
"Young master, young master, let me tell you."
Pan'er pulled up a small long voice, her face was full of mystery, and when she saw that the general and the two big girls were there, she immediately stuck out her tongue and became honest.
"What gossip did you get again?" Fang Xu smiled and said, "Let's hear it." ”
Pan'er looked at the general with her eyes, she didn't know if the general was willing to listen, she didn't dare to waste the general's time, the general's serious face was too scary.
"Speak." The general spit out a word, his expression was cool, and the softness he had just put down was put away again.
"Whoa." Pan'er responded crisply, and then began to talk about the gossip she brought back.
