On the third day of the first month of October, as soon as the imperial meeting passed, Tong Guan, the privy envoy who led the troops abroad, congratulated the prince, and at the same time asked the prince to ascend the throne immediately in the name of the country not being left without a master for a day.

This is persuasion.

Of course, the enthronement cannot be in such a hurry, and in any case, the last two months will have to wait.

However, Tong Guan, who has an army of 150,000 troops, has already shown his support, and this Longdao court can be regarded as a stable majority.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Guan's second letter was not so pleasant.

The Shunyi army suddenly returned to Beijing to launch a mutiny, Gao Yu's soldiers and horses in front of the palace were blocked by Xu Shisong, and a company of three troops was suddenly mobilized, and a huge gap was opened in the siege network of Fang La, which Tong Guan painstakingly managed.

So Fang La made a quick decision and led tens of thousands of anti-army elites to the south and broke away from contact with the Zhou army.

Although Fang La, who claimed to have millions of soldiers, only took away more than 20,000 elites and less than 30,000, and the rest of the henchmen were left to Tong Guan, but Fang La himself fled, and the core old thief around him fled, and no one can say whether he can coerce hundreds of thousands of rebels to make a comeback again.

Therefore, Tong Guan asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xianggong Wen to make a plan as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible.

It's hard to say whether the prince can see the trick clearly, but Wen Xianggong can see at a glance that Tong Guan is seeking self-preservation.

After all, this eunuch-turned-privy envoy is an old minister of the Jianxing Dynasty, and he was a member of the main peace faction before, but only recently has he gradually broken away from the original camp and moved closer to the main battle faction.

Tong Guan saw the fate of all the officials of the main and faction, after all, those people were civilian officials, and no matter how fierce they fought with the main battle faction, there were inextricable links behind them.

Even these people have been killed, and no one is sure that he, a eunuch-turned-ruler, can have a good end.

Fortunately, killing Qin Huizhi and others was almost a decision of Xu Shiliu alone, and Wen Xianggong himself had no intention of purging the Lord and the faction.

Wen Xianggong, who was back in power, quickly sent a letter to Tong Guan, asking him to command the whole army to pursue Fang La, which was regarded as clarifying Tong Guan's command of the forbidden army.

Among the front-line troops, the only one implicated in the mutiny was Gao Yu.

Bao Zheng, who was reappointed as the Quanzhi Lin'an Mansion, sent a team of officials to easily arrest him in the Gao Yu camp.

The command of the forbidden army in front of the palace was transferred to Xu Shisong.

This Xu family, who is also from Jiangbei, only took a few months to be promoted to the second person of the Great Zhou military generals under Tong Guan!

is also a member of the Xu family, Xu Shisong and Xu Shiliu received completely different treatment, which even Xu Shisong himself couldn't figure out.

He took the opportunity to send Xu Shimei into the Wenfu to get married, and specifically found Xu Shiliu and asked this brother:

"Fourth, what do you think?" Xu Shisong asked, "If you let it go, I won't say anything." If you still want to take charge of the army, I will fight for my own merits to protect you......"

"You are a military general, big brother."

In Wen Xianggong's study, Xu Shiliu held a bamboo book that he didn't know where to turn it out, and said with a smile:

"And I'm Wenchen, you protect me? Is it enough? ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty was noble and martial, even if Xu Shisong became the second major military general in the imperial court, he couldn't talk about Baoju in front of Xu Shiliu, a small person who had not yet made a name for himself, unless Xu Shiliu wanted to change to the military attache route.

But this is impossible, if he is a military attaché, and he has killed so many civilian officials in a series of mutinies before, then the matter cannot be said.

"Don't worry, big brother."

Seeing that Xu Shisong was still upset for himself, Xu Shiliu smiled indifferently:

"It's not so easy to end. I built the Shunyi Army, I led them to the mutiny, but the soldiers consciously did it voluntarily to kill Qin Huizhi, and I took this responsibility for the whole army, what do you think the soldiers will think? Will they think that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and they will be the next one after me? ”

"Uh......"

"I am familiar with Weng Shuping, he is so ambitious, his eyes are above the top, and others are okay, let him control the ......Shunyi Army, hehe, big brother, you just need to be your official, it won't be long before the Shunyi Army will have to fall back into our hands!"

Xu Shiliu sneered and said:

"So, don't worry about it now, after I get my fame, you can look at him."

……

The elders of the Xu family are not in Lin'an, Xu Shimei married into the Wen family, which is almost equivalent to a person entering the door, and even the wedding was done with the help of Xu Shisong and Xu Shiliu, and the younger brother of Wen Xianggong was the elder on behalf of the elders.

Xu Shimei, a wild girl from the north of the Yangtze River, is indeed a little incompatible with the gentry and wealthy family of generations of civil officials like the Wen family.

If it weren't for Xu Muhe, who was also a jinshi, I am afraid that this wedding would be ridiculed by others.

However, Wen Xianggong can't take care of it so much, and the marriage between Wen and Xu is essentially a political marriage.

If you want to say that the etiquette is that after a while, the girl of the Wen family marries to Qi Province, and there is still no support from her mother's family.

Xu Shimei still has two older brothers in Jiangnan.

After the main battle faction came to power, it was time to start implementing some of the previous ideas.

First of all, of course, it is to try their best to bring Qi Province under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

This is a long-term work, which cannot be completed overnight, and there is a lot of exchange of interests, which is clear to both the prince and Wen Jifu.

Therefore, Wen Wan, the girl of the Wen family and the youngest daughter of Wen Xianggong, will set off as soon as possible and go to Qi Province.

Acting with her, there is also Zhang Mingyi, who is expected to go to Qi Province to be a supervising army, or in other words, an envoy to Qi Province.

In order to allow Zhang Mingyi to quickly open up the situation, the prince has agreed that Xu Muhe will lead the military and civilian affairs of Qi Province as the governor, and in exchange, the governor of Qi Province should also be able to give Zhang Mingyi some support.

This is all an exchange, the imperial court in Jiangnan needs Qi Province to help them block the Tartars, the main war faction officials need Qi Province to divide their military merits as the foundation of their governance, and Qi Province also needs the righteous support of the imperial court, as well as materials.

Both sides take what they need, and that's it.

……

Ah, by the way, speaking of taking what they need, among the Great Zhou generals who were implicated because of the mutiny, in addition to Gao Yu who was imprisoned and Xu Shiliu, who had to avoid suspicion, there was another person who was hit by tons.

That is Li Feilong, who had just been recruited by Prime Minister Qin not long ago, and had just obtained a position of water master in the Great Zhou.

After the crown prince took charge of the country, the first thing was to purge these generals who supported the Lord and faction, Gao Yu was the first unlucky, Tong Guan couldn't move lightly, and the next one was naturally Li Feilong's turn.

No one considered that he had just taken refuge in Qin Huizhi, and in terms of crime, he actually belonged to a relatively low person in the Lord and the faction.

Because he is a military general, he is still a pirate who has just been recruited, and what's worse is that he is still a wall-to-wall pirate who once tried to take refuge with Wen Xianggong.

There were no relatives and friends in the court to speak for him, and no one shared the blame for his crimes, on the contrary, he had to bear some stigma for the civil officials who had died on the night of the mutiny.

So, Li Feilong was furious.
