Chapter 2 The king's spirit is here

"Official! Lu Guangda's sons Shizhen and Shixiong have surrendered to the north, but he pretended to be in front of the official family and impeached himself, which seemed to be guilty of the guilt, but in fact he was riding the wall and waiting for the price to sell! ”

"His son voted for the Beiyu, if the Beiyu invaded Jiankang in the future, his Lu family could gain glory in the north, and if the official army drove the Beiyu across the Jiangbei, Lu Guangda's status in the DPRK would still be the same..."

"The official, Weichen thinks that Lu Guangda should be imprisoned and the law and discipline should be strictly enforced, so that the generals will not be lucky and collude with the Beiyu in private, and the left and right will be the source!"

"Shi Qing, Suiyue Gong is dedicated to the country, but unfortunately he has two evil sons, he can be impeached on the table, I am very pleased, don't mention this matter again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Uh... Official! Fan Meng's wife and children were already trapped in the Zhou camp, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, not as reckless... Suiyue Gong is so self-impeached, his heart is different, he can't let it go, and the minister implores the official family to immediately take his military power to prevent changes! ”

"I have sent Sui Jiangong, don't worry."

"The official family..."

"Shi Qing, don't worry, Jiankang, you have your own royal spirit here, what can you do in the north?"

Chen Shubao, the son of the emperor of Chen Guo, was talking with Shi Wenqing, a close minister in the side hall at this time, the worry-free son of heaven who used to be happy and happy, was full of gloom at this time, and the Zhou army broke through the river defense and landed on the south bank, he could no longer sit still.

But after only struggling for a day, he relaxed again, because Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing, Kong Fan and others said well, Jiankang has its own royal spirit here, how can Beiyu endure me?

Thirty-three years ago, the Qi army hit outside Jiankang City, menacing, and seemed unstoppable, but what was the result? Haven't you been driven away by Liang Jun?

At that time, it was the rainy season, and the Qi army encountered heavy rain under the city for several days, the ground was muddy, the bowstring was relaxed, and the battle could only be confronted, and the northern captives had never been accustomed to the southern climate, and camped in the mud on rainy days, and the plague broke out in the military camp after a long time.

And now, although the Zhou army is also menacing, the number of troops is not as large as the Qi army back then, but the time is in the spring and summer, that is to say, the official army only needs to hold and confront the Zhou army until the rainy season, and the other party will collapse sooner or later without a fight.

This is the opinion of Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing, and Kong Fan, Chen Shubao thinks so, he thinks that since the Liang army can defeat the Qi army more than 30 years ago, then the Chen army at this time will definitely be able to defeat the Zhou army.

After the war that year, Chen Baxian, who held the power of the Liang State, had a high reputation, and it didn't take long for him to accept Chan to establish the Chen State and become the founding son of the country.

He felt that he could draw a gourd in the same way, and he couldn't defend it because the Zhou army was consumed by the rainy day without a fight, so why panic and damage the majesty of the Son of Heaven in front of his subordinates?

So he continued to listen to the singing and dancing and set up a banquet, and after a few days of leisure, the situation became more and more bad, Chen Shubao was worried again, convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and finally made up his mind, recruited the people to defend the city, and arranged for the generals to lead the troops out of the city to station in various important places, and set up a position to control the Zhou army.

After making these arrangements, Chen Shubao felt a lot more at ease, but Shi Wenqing, who had always been optimistic in front of him, became worried: he was afraid that these generals would support their troops and be on the side of the Qing monarch.

Since Chen Shubao succeeded to the throne, as the old people of the East Palace, Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing and others have won the trust of Chen Shubao, controlled the government and excluded dissidents, and for more than eight years, I don't know how many people have been offended.

After Chen Shubao succeeded to the throne, he had to beware of the generals rebelling, so he changed his tricks to suppress these martial artists, and Shi Wenqing, as a pawn, was naturally in a hurry, using many means to attract a lot of resentment.

For hundreds of years, the trilogy of generals of various countries has been passed down from father to son as private property, and in order to weaken the strength of these generals, Shi Wenqing has repeatedly forcibly seized the trilogy from the generals and distributed them to himself and other close ministers of the Son of Heaven, such as Kong Fan and others.

The trilogy is the most valuable property of the generals, Shi Wenqing did this, of course, he knew that the generals hated him to the bone, so he always beware of the other party's "Qingjun side".

Now that the Zhou army is menacing, the court has no choice but to rely on the generals to defend against the enemy, Shi Wenqing is worried that these people will unite and coerce the Son of Heaven to eliminate these close ministers on the grounds of civilian resentment.

He and several close ministers didn't want to become three animals who sacrificed the flag, so they couldn't relax their vigilance, and they wanted to seize the power of the generals and troops at the first opportunity.

Lu Guangda, the leader of the army and the prince of Suiyue County, and his sons Lu Shizhen and Lu Shixiong had surrendered to the Zhou State when they were in Jiangbei before, and they also wrote a letter to persuade Lu Guangda to understand the current affairs.

In Shi Wenqing's view, Lu Guangda's move was to retreat into advance, which made the Son of Heaven soft-hearted, and he actually passed the test in confusion.

Fan Meng, the assassin of Nanyu Prefecture and the Marquis of Fuchuan, led the army to reinforce Jiankang, and his son Fan Xun and his family stayed in Nanyu Prefecture, but they were all captured by the Zhou army, and Shi Wenqing decided to take this opportunity to impeach Fan Meng.

It would have been better to appoint another general to replace Fan Meng and seize his military power, but the officials hesitated.

He muttered in the ears of the official for a few days, and finally said that he moved the other party to take measures, but the measures that could be taken were a little weak in Shi Wenqing's opinion, and he actually sent someone to persuade Fan Meng to put state affairs first and let him accept the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court.

Isn't that! Which martial artist would voluntarily give up his military power?

However, the official family was unwilling to make up his mind to take tough measures, for fear of disturbing morale, Shi Wenqing disagreed, he felt that the biggest threat to the official family at this time was not the Zhou army outside the city, but the official generals who were very likely to support their own troops.

With the example of the battle thirty-three years ago, Shi Wenqing felt that Jiankang had the royal spirit and would definitely be able to repel the Zhou army, and as soon as the Zhou army retreated, those generals with heavy troops would probably become evil wolves, supporting the army and erecting the imperial court.

I am afraid that when the official family buys the hearts of the army, they will kill him, Kong Fan and others to 'thank the world', then everything will be over, so Shi Wenqing is now thinking about how to suppress the generals and cut the military power.

He grinded for a long time, and saw that Chen Shubao still couldn't make up his mind, so he could only retire first, and when he left the palace, he saw a person waiting outside.

The hussar general, Xiao Maha, the prince of Suijian County, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to "talk in detail" with Fuchuan Hou Fan Meng, and now he is waiting outside the palace, thinking that there is a result, and he comes back to return to the Son of Heaven.

Shi Wenqing didn't say a word of greeting, and walked directly in front of Xiao Maha, he and the generals were on the same footing, even if he lowered his posture, the other party would not be moved, so it didn't matter how to ease the relationship.

Xiao Maha didn't seem to see Shi Wenqing passing in front of him, and after a while, he followed the eunuch into the palace, and after saluting, he returned to Chen Shubao.

"The official family, Weichen thinks that the Marquis of Fuchuan has no different ambitions, and please think twice about the official family."

"Sui Jiangong, could it be that the Marquis of Fuchuan is unwilling to obey the arrangement of the imperial court?" Chen Shubao was a little nervous, he was afraid that the leading generals would defect one day, it would be impossible to prevent it, Fan Meng seemed to have the intention of disobeying the imperial court, and Xiao Maha also helped the other party speak, could it be that these two people have colluded?

"The official family, there is no doubt about employing people, there is no need for suspicious people, the wife and children of the Marquis of Fuchuan are trapped in the Zhou camp, although they are not impeached as the leader of the army, but His Majesty previously appointed the Marquis of Fuchuan as the governor, he is grateful, and the morale of the soldiers under his command is also high, but now he has to replace him with others, and Weichen is worried..."

"Wechen is worried that this move will chill the hearts of the majority of soldiers."

Chen Shubao became nervous when he heard this: "Huh? The soldiers are in a commotion? ”

"There is no commotion among the soldiers, the officials, the commander is changed on the spot, the soldiers are taboo, and the ministers implore Your Majesty to think twice."

Xiao Maha considered the words, he was ordered to talk to Fuchuan Hou Fan Meng in detail, the other party learned that the imperial court was going to send someone to replace him, he was very emotional, Xiao Maha was not sure what Fan Meng really thought, but he judged that the other party should not have different aspirations.

If you really want to rebel, you should pretend to be obedient on the surface, let the court take it lightly, and then take advantage of the dark wind to lead the troops to escape, but the other party is so angry that his face is red, and he walks back and forth in the tent, almost angry.

Xiao Maha could understand the other party's feelings, but he was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, and finally gritted his teeth and came back to persuade the Son of Heaven to use people.

The rhetoric should be tactful, neither can the official family think that Fan Meng supports the army and is self-respecting, nor can the official family think that Fan Meng has resentment, he has been thinking about it for a long time on the way to the palace, and now it is easy to talk about it and persuade Chen Shubao to rest assured.

"In this case, it was I who misunderstood the Marquis of Fuchuan, and I immediately sent someone to the Marquis of Fuchuan to appease him."

"The official is wise!"

Chen Shubao nodded, looked at Xiao Maha and asked, "Sui Jiangong, the northern captives are coming here, is Xiao Gong willing to be loyal to Da Chen?" ”

Xiao Maha, who was close to the sixtieth year, bowed down when he heard this: "Official! Wechen has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and has always been for the country and himself, and now the northern captives are attacking, at this moment, Wechen not only wants to fight for the country for himself, but also for his wife and children, and fight to kill the enemy! ”
