Chapter VI: Arraignment
Although Duan Zhiyuan was nominally subordinate to the Northwest Battalion, the 80,000 troops under his command were only at his disposal, and if it weren't for the emperor knowing that he was loyal, he would never have handed over such a huge army into his hands, let alone rebel against the common practice in the army, and transferred his son Duan Xuan to his subordinates. For Feng Huanjie, the general stationed in the northwest, the emperor has always been extremely rewarded, but the heart of defense has never stopped, so the responsibility of Duan Zhiyuan, the mighty general, is to restrain Feng Huanjie and prevent him from making the slightest move. Unexpectedly, Feng Huanjie did not show any objections, but at this time he had to deal with another more tricky character.
Duan Xuan watched anxiously as the military doctor applied medicine to the injured Duan Zhiyuan, fortunately, his father's martial arts did not fall, otherwise he would not be able to support the moment when he came to help today, and the scene at that time made him feel scared now.
"Lord Commander, General Duan only suffered some flesh wounds, but he lost too much blood, so he needs to recuperate." Doctor Wang carefully bandaged all the wounds, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing so many wounded people just now, he was full of doubts in his heart, but Duan Zhiyuan's face was blue in his eyes, so he didn't ask too much knowledge, and left in a hurry with another salute.
"Xuan'er, my father has already revised a book just now, you should immediately send a messenger to inform the capital immediately, and the Fifth Highness will forcibly seize the general's military power!" Duan Zhiyuan saw Doctor Wang leaving, and immediately ordered, "You must be fast, you are afraid of change, looking at today's situation, at least half of the generals in the Northwest Battalion have already voted for the Fifth Highness, and the generals may not resist as resolutely as I do." Once they get hold of the Northwest Battalion, we will be in danger here! ”
"What?" Rao is Duan Xuan has always been calm, but at this time he was also confused, he just thought that Zhan Pohan intended to retaliate at first, who knew that there was a big secret behind it, "The last general will do it immediately, please rest assured general!" He respectfully gave a military salute, and immediately lifted the curtain and went out of the tent to make arrangements.
Duan Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, just from the reaction of his son, he knew that he instantly set his identity on his subordinates, at such a critical moment, military information is far more important than personal affairs, no wonder the soldiers of the left battalion admired him so much. At this time, he calmed down a little, Duan Zhiyuan felt the burning pain of several wounds, and the consequences of the hard fight just now were also revealed, every part of his body was sore, it seemed that he couldn't accept the old man, he thought with a wry smile, it seems that he can hand over more burdens to his son after this time. Suddenly, an extremely important question occurred to him, how did his son know that he was in danger?
I didn't have time to ask this question just now, but it was really strange to think of it at this time, with Duan Xuan's cautious temperament, he would never go out easily, so who was the whistleblower? Duan Zhiyuan rubbed his temples with a faint pain, distressed, it seemed that there was a lot of work behind it, as soon as he thought that Zhan Pohan had thrown himself into the enemy, he felt restless, no one would want to be an enemy with him, alas, God will make people!
Although Feng Wuzhao sent people to intercept and kill several groups of messengers, there were still people who desperately escaped from the siege and arrived in the capital. Rao is like this, and it is already the eighth day after the mutiny. When Yu Xinqi, the secretary of the military department, received the letter from the bloodied messenger, the overtired soldier immediately fainted, and the exhaustion of the fight and the fatigue of the saddle horse finally broke out after the mission was completed. "Come on, help him down, and invite the best doctor in the capital to come!" Yu Xinqi opened the letter while commanding loudly, and if he didn't look at it, he just swept it hastily, and Yu Xinqi's face was already pale, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Your Excellency!" A few principals next to him hurriedly came up to help, Yu Xin Qiqiang calmed his mind, and only then did he save this matter as a top secret, so he shouted: "Today's matter, no one is allowed to spread it, otherwise this official will definitely report to the emperor and kill him!" ”
Seeing that the always gentle boss first lost his temper, and then threatened him harshly, everyone knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Please rest assured, my lordship, my subordinates will never dare to spread the word!" ”
Yu Xinqi couldn't take care of them, and shouted repeatedly: "Prepare a sedan chair!" The official is going to face the saint, hurry! ”
After a while, the yamen of the military department finally regained its calm, from the waiter to the ordinary chief, everyone was panicked. Lingyun has been peaceful for decades, is it going to be a sword fight again? Several old men in the military department remembered the tragic scene of resisting foreign enemies back then, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Evil Barrier!" The emperor threw the letter on the ground in hatred, barely burst out two words, and could no longer support his tired body, and fell down on the dragon chair, his eyes becoming cloudy.
Yu Xinqi was terrified, looking at the emperor's appearance, he was really angry, in case there was something wrong with the dragon body, he would be a sinner for the ages. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the northwest is thousands of miles away from the capital, but I'm afraid that Lord Duan's side has stabilized the situation." Besides, His Royal Highness the Fifth may be confused for a while, and he will never do anything in the same room, and please ask the emperor to relax and take care of the dragon's body. ”
"They've all made a fuss like this, how can I take care of myself?" The emperor whispered, "Duan Zhiyuan is indeed a capable member, but the Northwest Battalion has a large number of soldiers, and Wuzhao has deep-rooted forces in Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, and there is no problem with food and salary. If he really has the intention to rebel, I am afraid that it will not be able to be pacified for a while, and the Central Plains will be again smoking. ”
Yu Xinqi's heart trembled, the scene described by the emperor was too terrifying, no one would have thought that there would be such consequences when Feng Wuzhao was released to the northwest, I am afraid that the emperor is also secretly regretting it. However, he didn't dare to speculate on these things, and for now, he could only comfort this supreme first, and then figure out a feasible path.
"Your Majesty, will Your Highness's actions this time have anything to do with your handling of the He family?" Yu Xinqi carefully considered the sentence, lest it touch the emperor's most sensitive nerve.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that He Mofei's death is also related to that evil obstacle, and you still expect that he will be in peace after appeasing the He family? It's just a white-eyed wolf, and He Furong is probably going to be seriously ill at this time. I really looked away, the courtiers had the idea of making him the crown prince, but fortunately I didn't follow the convention of the son as the mother, otherwise he might not have been ruined by him! The emperor coldly threw out a large series of heart-wrenching words, "Tomorrow's morning, I want to see what else those who once shouted that it is a blessing for the country to make a son as the prince can say anything to justify!" I've indulged them all along, and it's time to fix it. ”
Yu Xinqi couldn't help but bow down, these words really shouldn't be listened to in his position. Back then, those who advocated the establishment of the Five Princes were all important members of the imperial court, and now they are all rooted in the world, and if this matter is not careful, the court will probably be unstable, and Lingyun's society is even more worrisome. He dared to say anything to a small soldier, if the emperor hadn't sent him away, he would have wanted to slip away a long time ago.
"Stand down." The Emperor waved his hand weakly, "I don't want to hear any gossip before tomorrow's court meeting, you know?" The emperor's gaze suddenly became a little sharp again, "You are an old minister, you should know my temperament." ”
"Wechen obeys." Yu Xinqi thought to himself that he had grown a few heads, dared to go out and talk nonsense, and hurriedly kowtowed to accept it, and then withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace tremblingly.
Since getting the news of He Mofei's assassination, He Furong felt as if he had lost his soul, and his whole person became haggard, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden. Although he has four sons under his knees, there is only one one who is angry, and he was bent on cultivating him to inherit the family business, but who would have thought that he would make a tragedy of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man. He Furong always regretted that he shouldn't have let his son flee with money rashly, if he hadn't let him bring so many silver taels, how could he provoke the bandits, and how could he be easily caught by the royal spies?
"Dad, drink some medicine." He Mobin looked at his father's emaciated appearance, and could hardly believe that he was the old man with extraordinary bearing in the past. As the second son in the family, he did not take on the responsibility of the family business, and he liked to study poetry since he was a child, so He Mobin has always taken Hai Congrui as his example, chanting poetry and writing outside all day long, and from time to time he went to Haifu to ask for advice. Although there used to be an errand on the salt road, he had always used his illness to recuperate at home, and it was completely left to his father's cronies to take care of. Now that he has reformed, according to his original intention, it doesn't matter at all. However, since the accident at home, the literary friends who usually followed him and flattered him have avoided it, and only Hai Congrui still treats him as a guest. This pampered son finally realized what it means to be in the hot and cold world, and it turned out that without his father's shade, he was nothing.
"Mo Bin, now that your eldest brother is dead, the He family will rely on you!" He Furong didn't seem to see the medicine spoon sent to his lips, "Your eldest brother died unjustly!" A few cloudy tears swirled in his eyes, and it was clear that the old man, who easily did not show his true feelings, was already in great pain.
"Daddy!" He Mobin held back his sadness, "Don't say it, let's use oral medicine first!" The doctor said, you can't always think about that thing, it's not good for your body. ”
"What's the use of having a body if there's nothing left?" He Furong muttered to himself, he was no more involved in the world than He Mobin, and the death of his eldest son had always made him suspicious. If Feng Wuzhao could protect his uncle, Mo Fei would definitely not be able to escape with his life. Moreover, when the people from the Criminal Department came to report, he was surprised to learn that the eldest son did not see a penny of silver on his body. "People die for money, birds die for food, it's really a wise saying, I didn't expect the old man to be wise, but he caused Mo Fei to lose his life!"
Although he and his eldest brother had always been indifferent in the past, after all, they were close relatives of flesh and blood, and He Mobin thought of the fourth brother before he was sent to the army by the emperor because of misconduct, and his expression was even more confused. In the past, the emperor's relatives and relatives have become today's court cold, and the truth of impermanence in the world finally understands.
