"Are you loyal to the Ming Dynasty or to the emperor!"

Liu Juntao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a straight face: "Mr. Shan should have heard: all the people in the world are the most important, the society is second, and the king is second!" I, Liu Juntao, am the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, of course, I am to protect the people, be loyal to the community, and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty! ”

At this time, Liu Juntao still couldn't figure out the purpose of Mr. Shan's words, Mr. Shan was very likely to know about the dispute between the DPRK and China, and wanted to find out how he stood in line!

For the battle for imperial power, even if Liu Juntao's power is great, he does not dare to stand in line easily, although as a traverser, Liu Juntao knows that the orthodox emperor will be restored in the end, but the historical trend at this time will not change, which Liu Juntao does not dare to guarantee, so he has to use this sage to reply to Mr. Shan's question.

After listening to Liu Juntao's words, Mr. Shan smiled slightly and said, "Lord Zongzhen said it well! I guess you've heard about the situation in the DPRK now, but I don't know what your Excellency thinks. ”

Liu Juntao saw that Mr. Shan was still unrelenting, so he said directly: "If Mr. has anything to say, let's say it directly, our two families have been friends for so many years, and there is nothing that can't be said." Today in this back hall, after the gentleman has finished speaking, and I have finished listening, this is the end, and no third person will know. ”

Mr. Shan paused when he heard this, and then said: "Lord Zongzhen, it's really not a secret, since the controversy broke out in the court and the central government over when to welcome back the Emperor Taishang, many people have found Yan Sheng Gong and want to win the support of Yan Sheng Gong!" ”

Liu Juntao also frowned slightly when he heard this, it seems that this controversy has begun to turn into turmoil, and it has spread from the court to the localities!

Moreover, once Yan Shenggong is involved in this matter, it will not only be a political issue, but a big issue related to the country, and this controversy will be uncontrollable at that time!

In an instant, Liu Juntao realized that the matter of welcoming back the orthodox emperor had begun to deviate from the original direction of history!

"Who are those people who came to Yan Shenggong?"

Mr. Shan said in a deep voice: "Basically, they are all the henchmen of Shi Heng, the right governor, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch, and Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, and the henchmen of these three people are also complementary to each other, and it can be seen that the three of them also have their own thoughts!" ”

Liu Juntao thought thoughtfully, and then asked, "Is there anyone else?" ”

"There are also Yu Qian's subordinates under the Ministry of War!"

"Huh?"

Liu Juntao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Lord Yu also sent someone to find Yan Shenggong?" ”

Mr. Shan smiled and said, "I did find it!" However, Lord Yu heard that Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and Xu Youzhen had sent people to harass Yan Shenggong, so he sent people to come, hoping that Yan Shenggong would not intervene in the battle between the DPRK and China. ”

Liu Juntao breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "I was startled, I said that Master Yu would not be a party member!" ”

Then, Liu Juntao asked, "I don't know what the Holy Father of Yan thinks?" ”

Mr. Shan said: "As the Grandmaster of the Heavenly People, it is naturally impossible for Yan Shenggong to speak in this battle between the government and the opposition, and it is impossible to be involved!" So when I came to Yanzhou Mansion, Yan Shenggong had already closed his doors, and he ignored Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen and other people! ”

"Good!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "In this way, I will definitely be angry with that Shi Heng!" ”

Mr. Shan shook his head and said, "Lord Zongzhen, your attitude is very important now!" ”

"Me?"

"Yes!"

Mr. Shan continued: "Lord Zongzhen led his troops to participate in the Battle of King Qin, which can be regarded as an experience of this national disaster, and Lord Yu and the Right Governor are very concerned about the Lord, this is putting the Lord on the table, and every move of the Lord will affect the trend of the dispute between the DPRK and China, so that some people with ulterior motives can use it!" ”

Liu Juntao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and listened quietly to Mr. Shan's words.

"Yan Shenggong told me that there is no guarantee that there will be no courtiers in the court who will send people to find the head town, and the head town lord must be careful when the time comes! How will the adults and the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves under their command stand in line, but you must be cautious! ”

Liu Juntao asked, "Sir, has Yan Shenggong heard any news?" ”

"Didn't your lord's men find out anything?"

Liu Juntao shook his head and said; "My scouts can only get some general information, and they still can't reach the private and low news between the courtiers!"

"That's right!"

Mr. Shan sighed and said, "Yan Shenggong got the news, oh! It's heard! Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the division, and Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, have already sent people to arrive, probably wanting to talk to the lord of the town. However, Shi Heng, the right governor, did not move. ”

Mr. Shan looked at the pensive Liu Juntao and continued: "When the time comes, how will the Lord of the Town prepare to deal with it, but you have to think about it!" When I came, Yan Shenggong specially instructed me, saying: The Yanzhou General Military Mansion and the Confucian Mansion are a prosperous relationship, and if either side is suppressed, the other party will be implicated. Therefore, once there is any news and situation that is unfavorable to the Lord of the Town, Yan Sheng Gong will definitely inform the Lord as soon as possible! ”

Liu Juntao immediately hugged his fists and thanked him, and then said: "Although this Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen have nothing to do with me, I have also heard of the two of them, and they are not good people!" Therefore, this time I will also close my doors and customers, and I will not have any contact with such people, at least at this juncture! ”

Mr. Shan nodded with satisfaction, at this moment, it is indeed better to have more things than one less, seeing that the matter was done, he said a few more words to Liu Juntao, and then got up and said goodbye.

At this time, Liu Juntao sent someone to call Liu Zi'an from the banquet and told him about the conversation he had with Mr. Shan just now.

Liu Zi'an frowned and said: "General Town, since ancient times, those who colluded with the generals and courtiers in other towns have never ended well!" We must not get too close to any courtiers, including adults! ”

Liu Juntao naturally understands this truth, if the generals and courtiers of the outer towns get too close, once there is a political ~ struggle between the DPRK and China, the first one who will be suppressed and investigated is this general of the outer town, because both sides want to control the struggle on the table, and no one wants to involve the army!

Liu Juntao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "During this time, the Investigation Department must be careful to deal with it, and it must not be taken lightly!" Now those bigwigs in the court are ready to go into battle shirtless, and welcoming back the emperor is just a superficial article, I think those bigwigs just want to take this opportunity to expand their power and suppress their political enemies! ”

At this time, Liu Zi'an's face was already a little pale, Liu Zi'an knew the cruelty of the battle between the DPRK and China, and now the Yushan Town family was involved, which was a big bad news!

"Boss, when we have to take sides, how should we respond?"

Liu Juntao pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Emperor Taishang is definitely going to welcome back, even if he wants to stand in line, it will have to wait until the Emperor Taishang returns to Beijing!" So now it's better for our general military office to remain silent! ”

Liu Zi'an also couldn't stop nodding.

"Pass the order: All ministries and divisions of the shogunate, all battalions, soldiers, horses, generals, no matter who they are, must not have private contact, correspondence, or correspondence with the people of the DPRK and China! Violators will be severely punished! ”

Liu Zi'an nodded heavily, and was about to hurry to issue an order, but was stopped by Liu Juntao again.

"After today's feast, from tomorrow onwards, the General Military Office will close its doors and refuse any visitors, etc.; In addition, apart from normal military affairs, the General Military Office does not care about anything, and the people of the General Military Office are not allowed to provoke anything! ”

A few days later, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the division, and Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, each rushed to the Yanzhou capital city one after another, but they were closed outside the gate of the Yanzhou General Soldier's Mansion.

Although these two groups of people all took their own prayer posts, and persuaded each other to go in to meet the chief military officer Liu Juntao, and even stuffed silver into the concierge, the door of the general military mansion was always closed.

In the end, these two groups of people could only return to the city of Beijing.
