Chapter Eighty-Five: The West Wind Blows

This is the sorrow of the emperor.

Looking at the back of his son, who was slightly excited and brisk in his steps, Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly.

Obviously, Zhu Wenkui was used as a gunman, but he didn't know it.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Yunwen instantly made a decision, which words could be said and which words could not be said, so there was the conversation just now.

So just now, Zhu Wenkui was also used by his father, although he didn't know it.

When the news of Zhang Fu's attack reached the capital, the entire civilian system severely attacked him, while the military general system maintained cautious support;

After Zhang Fu was made marquis, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the criticism of the civil and official system became more fierce, and there was even a rare phenomenon of non-compliance in the matter; The military general system has seen a strong backlash, Xu Huizu, Geng Xuan, Guo Key, Wu Gao, and even Sheng Yong in Beijing all think that the marquis is too high, and it is enough to be crowned an earl.

Zhang Fu was originally a man without a lord, but he suddenly crossed the baron, viscount, and earl and became a marquis, which made many people unacceptable, among which Sheng Yong was the most, he had fought for many years, and now he was only one level higher than Zhang Fu, to be precise, his son was one level higher than Zhang Fu's son, and he himself was on the same level as Zhang Fu.

Military generals are different from civil officials, even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not show too strongly, and they dare not go crazy to write and talk about things.

Regarding the crazy twists and turns of civil officials, Zhu Yunwen took the time to read a few books, and most of them were left in the middle, after all, they couldn't turn over any storms.

But for the general's script, Zhu Yunwen looked at them one by one and didn't dare to ignore them, after all, the military general has the gun in his hands!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen called Liu Zhen: "Let the investigation Si Wan Zicheng and Xie Jingyang come over, I have something important to order!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

Since November, vassal kings who have entered Beijing to worship have been entering Beijing one after another.

According to the three-year rotation system, the kings of Liao, Gu, Ning, and Xiang entered Beijing this year, and they were all warmly received and carefully arranged by the emperor.

In addition, the prince in Beijing still has the king of Qin who is to be sinned.

After the Qin king's family arrived in Beijing, Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, left the Zongren Mansion and came to live in the palace temporarily arranged by the Beijing Division. Of course, the conditions of the royal palace of the Jingshi cannot be compared with the feudal land, at best it is just a larger courtyard.

Zhu Shangbing found that he and the others did not restrict their access, although he did not know whether there was anyone secretly watching, but he was still very careful, lived in a simple place, did not communicate with the courtiers, and after many princes entered Beijing, he did not send people to communicate.

But if he doesn't go out, he can't stop others from coming to the door.

After the prince who entered Beijing settled down, as agreed, he came to the door together to comfort his dear nephew, and Zhu Shangbing could only receive him warmly when he saw this posture.

Zhu Shangbing knew that these princes wanted to ask him for some news, but they were afraid that the emperor would be suspicious, so they had to come together openly, which was also to show His Majesty that they had no intention of connecting in private.

At the banquet, Zhu Shangbing explained in detail the reasons for the Shaanxi case, but of course he still insisted that he was only negligent and did not intend to violate the laws of the imperial court.

And all the princes are human spirits, all of them know the elegance of the string song, and immediately understand the cattiness, for a while everyone has different expressions, brains are running wildly, and gradually lose the interest in talking, and then the cold field, so it didn't take long, and the banquet was dispersed.

After they left, Zhu Shangbing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Shangbing knew in his heart that the emperor did not prohibit himself from entering and leaving, but in fact, he used his own mouth to inform the princes of the emperor's intentions, and it would not be long before all the princes would understand the origin of the matter and the emperor's concerns.

In this way, everyone understands the emperor's bottom line, there will be fewer unnecessary misunderstandings, and things will be easier, which is a common method of His Majesty.

In the past few days, especially after the Queen Mother Deng entered Beijing, Zhu Shangbing also figured out that as long as he knows each other, the prince should be able to keep it, but Xi'an, I'm afraid he can't go back......

......

Northwest, on the shores of Lake Xihai.

"Commander-in-chief, Lord Fang asks to see you!"

"Lord Fang?"

Ping An was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and immediately stood up and said, "Please!" ”

"Lord Guogong, it's been a long time!"

As he spoke, the curtain door was lifted, and Fang Bin, the inspector of the Northwest Front, walked in with a cool breeze and saluted Ping'an first.

"Lord Fang, welcome the late man safely, and hope to forgive your sins!"

"Lord Guogong is serious, and he doesn't dare to be a lowly position!"

After a few words of greeting, the two sat down separately.

"Lord Guogong, I heard that you will be back to Beijing in a few days?"

"yes!"

Ping'an stroked the beard under his chin, looked at the east, and said with a smile: "The matter is almost over, most of the Fifth Army has arrived in Huozhou, the 13th Brigade of the Forward has come to the West Sea, and there are two Guards, which is enough to stabilize the situation around Luntai." ”

"And the last general's side, the main task is to escort the captives and families of Warat and Mongolia into the customs, most of the captives and families of Mongolia have already been on the road, and in two days, it will be Warat's turn!"

"Oh,"

Fang Bin thought for a while and said, "How many families of the captives are escorted into the customs this time?" ”

"The total number is about 150,000 or more, and it also includes a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses."

"Oh, Lord Guogong, the lower officials came this time, I hope that your lord can leave some cattle, sheep and horses, after all, there are more than 30,000 people in the Northwest Front, plus more than 20,000 people in Warat and Mongolia, all of them need to spend the winter here, and it can't be done without cattle and sheep!"

"Didn't you leave more than 200,000 sheep? Isn't that enough? ”

Ping An said with some doubts.

"Theoretically, it's enough, but the lower officials are worried that if there is an emergency, it will be troublesome!"

"That's right,"

Ping An was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Why didn't Zhang Fu come?" ”

"This,"

Fang Bin smiled bitterly twice, and said with some stumbling: "There have been signs of instability in Warat recently, and the day before yesterday, a team of Warat who was on patrol mission escaped, about a hundred people. ”

"General Zhang is worried about the formation of a chain reaction, and has already ordered to strengthen precautions, so he can't come over, and he also asked his subordinates to apologize to you!"

"Escape?"

Ping An was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How many times has this kind of thing happened?" ”

"Before I started from my humble position, there were almost every day, totaling about five hundred people!"

"Oh?" Ping An was a little surprised: "So many? Is there something wrong? ”

"It is said to be related to the entry of the Eseku into Beijing!"

"Isn't it a matter of time before Eseku enters Beijing? Could it be that Esekuta has changed his hexagram? ”

"No, the Eseku hasn't changed its hexagram, but it seems that there are different opinions within Warat."

"Differing opinions?"

Ping An was silent for a while, walked to the map, looked at it for a while, and said, "Lord Fang, in which direction are those Warat patrols running?" ”

"This, it seems to be running in the southwest direction, it should be going to the Chagatai Khanate."

"To the southwest, southwestβ€”"

The wooden stick in Ping'an's hand pointed to Luntai, then drew another circle, pointing to the Chagatai Khanate in the northwest, and then circled again, pointing to the West Sea, and fell into deep thought......

Suddenly, Ping'an threw the wooden stick and said sharply: "Come on, call Song Xuan, Guo Liang, and Wang Zhonghui to come over!" ”

"Yes!"

After a short time, a sound of horses' hooves came, and Song Xuan, Guo Liang, and Wang Zhonghui came one after another.

"Wang Zhonghui!"

"In!"

"You immediately lead your headquarters to deploy defenses in the northwest direction, once you encounter the enemy, resolutely resist, and at the same time send an alarm to the Chinese army!"

"Yes!"

"Song Xuan!"

"The last general!"

"You immediately rush to Huozhou with the general's order, and order the Fifth Army to come to Xihai immediately, and arrive within two days, if there is any delay, the military law will deal with it!"

"Fifth Army?"

Song Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't the Fifth Army subordinate to the Northwest Front Army?" We-"

"What Northwestern Front?"

Ping'an shouted: "The Northwest Front Army is also under the command of the Northern Army, and this general has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, you go quickly!" Something went wrong, I want your head! ”

"Yes! Be! ”

"Guo Liang, you immediately rush to the Warat camp and strictly investigate the abnormal situation, including abnormal gatherings, abnormal people, etc., if you resist, you will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Although Guo Liang was a little puzzled on his face, he didn't dare to ask anything, so he could only shout his orders.

......

Looking at the three generals who had taken the order, Fang Bin was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why Ping An was so aggressive.

Ping An turned his head, saw the puzzlement on Fang Bin's face, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Fang, put things aside for the time being, you rush to Luntai immediately, there may be a change in Warat!" ”

"Has there been a change? What can change? ”

"Chagatai Khanate!"

"What?"

Fang Bin stood up suddenly, he pointed to the map, his nervous voice was hoarse, and shouted, "Guogong, you mean, Dong Chagatai-"

"Not bad! Other than that, there is no other explanation! ”

After Ping'an finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Fang Bin, but lowered his head and picked up the pen, worked hard to write, wrote the military order after a while, handed it to Fang Bin, and said: "This is the military order given by the general to Zhang Fu, as a supervisory envoy, you can take a look at it first!" ”

"It's-"

Fang Bin was stunned, he held Ping'an's order, his hands trembled, and then he looked up at Ping'an: "General...... General, this ...... Is this appropriate? ”

"What's out of place!"

Ping An withdrew the order and put it in an envelope: "Someone! ”

"In!"

"Immediately send someone to send this order to Zhang Fu, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front Army, and order him to carry it out according to the order, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"
