Chapter 41: Attack (Part II)
Chapter 42: Difficulties (Part II)
After a long time, Fan Yu returned, "Childe, my subordinates have sent someone to report last night's incident to General Li Chenghe." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ InfoGeneral Lee was shocked when he heard the news, and he had already ordered the generals to be summoned to the council chamber to discuss the matter. β
"Okay, good work." Yang Wu nodded, he had to think about how to make trouble later.
Not long after, the person who inquired about the news in the front hall came to report that most of the generals had arrived, so Yang Wu left the back house and hurried to the council hall of the front hall.
In the conference hall, the main seat in the center of the head was reserved for Yang Xingmi, and everyone naturally didn't dare to sit there. Li Chengji stood on the steps below the main seat to preside over this collegiate meeting. When Yang Wu arrived, he was introducing the assassination that happened last night to many generals, and Yang Wu's heart moved, and he hid outside to listen to what the generals had to say first.
I only heard Li Chengsi introduce loudly, "Last night, after the eldest son returned to the Jiedu embassy late at night, he was assassinated in his own courtyard, and a servant girl next to the eldest son was seriously injured in order to protect the eldest son, but fortunately, the guards arrived in time and scared away at this moment, and the eldest son himself was safe and sound." What do you think about this? β
Of course, the facts of last night were not as simple as Lee Seung-si said, but there are some details that there is no need to reveal to everyone. Now Yang Xingmi personally led the army to crusade against Zhu Quanzhong, and the high-ranking officials who remained in Guangling were Zhou Ben, Wang Maozhang, Zhu Jin, Shi Yan, Feng Hongduo, Zhou Yin, Mi Zhicheng, Li Tao and others.
"Deputy Envoy Li, I don't know how the eldest son is now, since he is safe and sound, why don't you come to meet us?" Li Chengsi's official position is the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu, so everyone calls him Deputy Envoy Li.
"Rest assured, the eldest son is indeed safe and sound, and he is also ready to participate in this collegiate meeting, presumably because he has been delayed by something, and he has not yet arrived. So now it's just a matter of letting the generals know about the situation first. β
"Since the eldest son is still fine, I will be relieved. It's just that I don't know if the assassins have been caught, and have you ever found out who sent the assassins? β
Li Chengsi shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the assassin escaped, and I haven't found out who sent the assassin." β
β¦β¦
Yang Wu hid outside and listened to the generals' discussions, but most of them were asking about the details of the assassination or discussing who sent the assassins, but the matter of accountability only mentioned that the pro-army capital who was directly responsible for guarding the mansion last night only mentioned that the capital should be dismissed and questioned, but no one mentioned Zhang Hao. After all, everyone knew the practice of guarding the mansion of the pro-army commander, and Yang Wu was not injured, so everyone didn't mention Zhang Hao.
Hearing the messy discussion inside, Yang Wu felt disappointed, "It seems that I still have to go out in person." He raised his foot and was about to enter the conference hall, when a loud shout came from inside, Yang Wu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped.
"What are all the generals doing here discussing these useless things? It is now imperative to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. This official believes that the key to this matter is the commander who was in charge of guarding the Jiedu embassy last night, and in order to prevent the phenomenon of the commander on duty at night from dereliction of duty in the future, it is necessary to severely punish the person who was responsible last night in order to set an example. What's the use of just taking a capital or battalion command? β
It turned out to be Zhou Yin, the judge of the festival, he was originally strict and upright, he couldn't rub the slightest sand in his eyes, he always said something, and he would never show mercy.
When all the generals heard this, they were all shocked. You must know that now Yang Xingmi, the general under the command of the Huainan Jiedu Envoy, has the highest rank, that is, the commander of the capital, even if it is those state assassins who hold a lot of power, their level in the army is usually no more than that; And below the commander is the level of the commander, which is considered a high-ranking general, not to mention the commander of the pro-army, this level is one level higher, which is like the central government in later generations. The officers of the Guard Bureau are a cut above the officers of the ordinary army.
If it is to deal with the head or battalion commander, these generals will not have any opinions, but to deal with the commander of the pro-army, this kind of thing can only be done by Yang Xingmi, who else dares to do it? Aren't you afraid of being suspicious of Yang Xingmi if you commit a taboo?
For a while, everyone was silent, and even Li Chengsi frowned. The key to his being reused by Yang Xingmi and being appointed to stay behind is that he is cautious, does not form gangs, and will not do anything beyond his duty. The command of the pro-army made it clear that such a thing had exceeded his duty, so he kept his head bowed and did not speak, and his eyes were fixed on the steps on the ground, as if there were some flowers on them.
Yang Wu Yi outside was overjoyed, "Someone finally mentioned this matter, everyone said that Zhou Yin was upright, only loyal to his own duty, and not emotional, and it really deserved his reputation." β
This kind of person who dared to speak out to deal with the pro-army commander when Yang Xingmi was not in Guangling, and Zhou Yin alone had the courage.
Historically, when Yang Xingmi was seriously ill, Yang Wu was still in Xuanzhou as an observer of Xuanzhou. Yang Xingmi wanted to summon Yang Wu back, but Zhou Yin persuaded him: "Xuanzhou Situ (Yang Wu) is a person who easily listens to slander and likes to have fun, so he is not a person who protects his family. And your other sons are still young and have difficulty controlling the generals. Only Liu Wei, the assassin of Luzhou, when he and the king started together at the end of the year, should not be sorry for you. Let him be in charge of the generals for a while, and then pass on the throne to the rest of your sons when they are grown. β
Zhou Yin's idea is obviously too naΓ―ve, if Liu Wei becomes a festival envoy, will he return the rights to Yang Xingmi's sons in the future? I'm afraid even Zhou Yin himself doesn't believe it. However, Zhou Yin really felt that Yang Xingmi's sons were difficult to protect their families, so it was better to take the initiative to hand it over to Liu Wei, who was trusted by Yang Xingmi, at least Liu Wei was lenient and benevolent, and should treat Yang Xingmi's sons well.
Of course, Yang Xingmi disagreed with Zhou Yin's idea, and finally recalled Yang Wu to Guangling and appointed him as the queen of Jiedu.
Later, after Yang Wu ascended the throne, he scolded Zhou Yin, saying that he "betrayed the country, and what face will he have to see the ancestors of the Yang family in the future", so he killed him. Although Zhou Yin is upright and easy to offend people, he is still very prestigious in Huainan. After Yang Wu killed him, his generals began to endanger themselves. Later, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen launched an army but the generals did not stand up, which also had the impact of killing Zhou Yin.
Of course, that was what Yang Wu did in history, and now Yang Wu was very happy when he heard Zhou Yin's vigorous proposal in the conference hall, and when he walked into the hall and said loudly, "Judge Zhou is right, if the assassination case last night only dealt with those heads and battalion commanders, this is definitely not enough!" β
As soon as many generals saw him come in, they came over to inquire about last night's events, and Yang Wu replied one by one and thanked them again and again for their greetings, and then everyone returned to their places to continue their deliberations.
"Eldest son, I don't know which commander was in charge of guarding the Jiedu Embassy last night?" Zhou Yin waited for everyone to regain their footing, and then asked Yang Wu.
