"Could it be that Commander Zhang wants to say that the strong wall is not clear?" Feng Wufang's words suddenly became extremely ridiculed, "You are all generals of the imperial court, raising troops for thousands of days, don't you understand how to use soldiers for a while?" On weekdays, you will only bargain for some bargains on a small group of enemy troops, but now that you are hard-boned, you will retreat and spread the word, and others will think that the Northwest Army is all cowards! His words pierced the hearts of the generals like knives, "The emperor may not say anything, but if it drags on, it will be wasted the food and salary of the court and the blood and sweat of the people. ”

Since Feng Wufang has already put down the cruel words, how dare others say more. Although they are usually intrigued and wary of each other's troubles, after all, they are all men who have made contributions on the battlefield, and there is still a little bit of blood. At that moment, a few rough men shouted to return the color to the shoes, and the atmosphere of the handsome tent suddenly became lively.

Because the northwest military camp and Duan Zhiyuan's military camp echoed each other from afar, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, it was not a problem to have enough soldiers, and it was extremely difficult to break through each one, so Feng Wufang didn't care about the victory or defeat of this battle. On the contrary, from the midst of this unexpected battle, the keen wind Wufang vaguely smelled some kind of conspiracy. Even if the Junggar Turk Tu Ce succeeded to the throne recently, he would not be brainless enough to lead such a small cavalry to capture the Central Plains? After the great war thirty years ago, the Dzungars lost a large number of young people, if the emperor did not want to kill them all, I am afraid they would have to be exterminated.

Urgent reports of military information in the northwest were sent to the capital non-stop. The wind is about to stabilize people's hearts, so the messenger who reports the victory has to gallop back from the street almost every other day. The people who were originally a little panicked were relieved, and many of them took the opportunity to make up jokes about the Northwest War. For a while, this was rendered as another northern expedition, completely forgetting that this time it was the foreign enemy who took the lead in disturbing the border.

The atmosphere of the diligent palace was solemn. Although both the emperor and the military department understated the war in the northwest in the court meeting, at this time, when several important ministers saw the emperor's face of Tie Qing, they knew that the battle situation there was not as optimistic as imagined. The most troublesome thing is that Xiao Yunchao is still working in the name of Qincha over there, and he naturally can't return when he encounters this big battle, so the name of this superintendent is settled.

The emperor looked at the scattered ministers. A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.

I wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate those unstable officials, but now that I have suffered such a big change, the back of the court must not be chaotic in any case, otherwise if the news reaches the front of the army, it will be instigated by someone with a heart It is the most hateful thing for Da Yan to send an urgent secret report sent by Feng Wufang. By now, the Emperor could not confirm how many people were secretly watching, and the only thing he knew for sure was. I'm afraid my plan will have to be greatly revised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know the situation in the Northwest. Although I am very relieved of Prince An, the situation is complicated now. Ketu came to vent his anger with old grievances many years ago, and he must have made all the preparations, and he must not be taken lightly. Although there were only a few small victories before, Prince An had to make a big deal of it for the sake of the overall situation. There's no way around it. Now that the war is imminent, the grain and grass of the household department must also be prepared. The emperor swept over a few courtiers and suddenly snorted coldly, "It's just that this secret letter from Prince An is strange, Duan Zhiyuan, the general of Fenwei, once fought with thousands of Dzungar cavalry, who would have thought that the weapons held by those shoes were extremely similar to the standard blades of the military department, which is strange." ”

Yu Pingqi of the Ministry of War couldn't help but be terrified when he heard this, Lang Zhong of the various divisions of the Ministry of War was in charge, and there were not a few people who were greedy and bent the law to fill their pockets, and it was okay in peacetime in the past, but this time he actually poked such a leak, how could he not be frightened? I saw that he immediately bowed to the ground and kowtowed: "Weichen has no way to control him, and he deserves death!" However, according to the custom, the Northwest Army had to change its outfit every once in a while, and when Prince Duan was a general, the annual reported attrition was far greater than what was actually needed. Weichen was afraid of the prestige of the general, so he did not dare to violate it. In the past ten years, I am afraid that there are not a few more blades and arrows sent over. ”

No one thought that this matter would involve Prince Duan Feng Huanjie, since Feng Wuzhao seized Feng Huanjie's military power in the northwest, and instructed the generals to impeach him, this Prince Duan has always been at home and does not do government affairs. Yu Geqi pulled him out at this time, naturally in order to wash away his involvement, but this move was inevitably hateful in the eyes of the emperor. The royal family is not very peaceful, and now even a prince who has no real power is not spared, if other princes make a fuss, it will inevitably be another mess.

"Yu Xinqi, as a member of the military department, you actually shirk your responsibility, it's really disappointing to me!" To Yu Xinqi's surprise, the emperor's thunder still did not miss him, "It has been a long time since Prince Duan Feng Huanjie stepped down, if you have any doubts, you should naturally report it as soon as possible, how can it be delayed so far?" What's the use of you revealing it today? As soon as I asked you about the dereliction of duty of the military department, you prevaricated with such false words, did you think that I could not manage your military department well? ”

Yu Xinqi was speechless for a moment, his words just now were meant to prevaricate, and Feng Huanjie did falsely report a lot of losses back then. But the emperor pushed him back with a word, obviously unwilling to pursue the previous matter. He had to meet again and again to apologize, and in his heart he had already scolded those subordinates who only knew how to make money. Fortunately, the emperor did not want to hold him accountable at this time, but only asked him to secretly track down the truth of the matter among those subordinates of the military department.

Although he is called Bingbu Shang, Yu Xinqi is not an expert in marching and fighting. Compared with the general of the unified army, he, who has advanced step by step through the imperial examination, is at most familiar with the set of paper soldiers. The emperor didn't bother to bother with him after a fruitless answer, and straightforwardly drove this military minister out of the Qinzheng Palace, using a very simple name, to prepare for reinforcements. But everyone present knew that the army in the northwest was not vegetarian, and it was difficult to say whether they needed reinforcements, and the emperor just gave Yu Xinqi a step down.

"The more thousands of people, the war in the northwest broke out suddenly, the food and salary of the future labor army of the household department must be prepared as soon as possible, and the soldiers in the front will kill the enemy in blood, so as not to chill the hearts of the heroes." The emperor commanded in a deep voice, "The northwest is an important place, and Prince An can also be trusted, so there must not be anything to eat, but I can't guarantee that there are no garrisons in other places." Those dirty generals in the army are more powerful than the officials in the court, but they are my Lingyun's Jiangshan Sheji! If I hadn't had the time to clean them up, I'm afraid it would have involved a lot of them! ”

The emperor said this suddenly, and the courtiers below all looked at each other, and it was a common thing to eat military salaries since ancient times, and no dynasty or generation could see it. As for Prince An Feng Wufang, he is a rich prince, and he is young, so he naturally takes meritorious service as the first priority, not to mention that those grain transport officials dare not take care of him, there are a lot of fire losses in his pocket, how can he still eat empty quotas like this?

The emperor named himself, and Yue Qianfan couldn't stand still, so he had to stand up and respond: "The emperor can rest assured, now that the treasury is surplus, Weichen must be ready for everything, just wait for the Northwest Army to report victory!" ”

When the left servant of the Ministry of Officials Lang Mi Jingfu discussed the promotion of officials in the northwest provinces for a while, the emperor had nothing to say for a while, and a few Shang Zhizhi and others resigned, only Haiguanyu remained in the main hall.

"Hai Lao Aiqing, am I really old?" The emperor asked abruptly, "The trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and now I am constrained by everything I want to do, even those old ministers who are used to it are perfunctory at every turn, are they really so impatient to wait for the new monarch to succeed to the throne?" The emperor's face was full of disappointment and exhaustion, "Even those Dzungar jumping clowns are also stirring up, if it was a change of year, would they dare to be so presumptuous?" ”

The emperor's twilight is nothing more than this, such a thought flashed in Hai Guanyu's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly. "Your Majesty, at the moment, others don't want you to stop, so I'm afraid my previous plan will come to naught. The war in the northwest coincidentally broke out when Xiao Yunchao went to inspect the labor army, and he couldn't help but suspect his intentions. If Prince An was telling the truth in the secret fold, I am afraid that someone would have already made a good deal about this matter. He looked worried, and his face was a little pale, "If He Furong goes to the southwest and stirs up something, I'm afraid that others are already like playing chess, and they are pressing up step by step." ”

The emperor's heart tightened, why did this Hai Guanyu still speak so straightly, even if it was a real thing, he should have said it tactfully, didn't he know to share some of it for his father? He wordlessly glanced at Haiguanyu's increasingly old figure, and shook his head helplessly. This old man who has been with him for decades has done his best, and now is not his early years, if he doesn't understand things thoroughly, maybe he will make some wrong decisions in a moment of confusion.

"I know, tomorrow I will give Zhan Pohan an order, let him concoct some auspicious rui out, and it's time to move his nest." The emperor threw out a sentence with a solemn face, "Traceless has already written to him that he can already hold him for eight points, and that is enough." Now those soldiers and ruffians in the Fengtai battalion should also come to him to toss around alone, otherwise if they defend the capital, those people may not even be able to play neatly with knives and guns! ”

The two monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, and let out a wry smile at the same time. Fortunately, Bao Huasheng's condition has improved, and he is now on his way to Beijing, otherwise the two of them will always work hard, and sooner or later they will put their lives into it. Now at this time, it is not trivial, and only these old guys can support the overall situation Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 7 Winning the Succession Chapter 9 Deliberations
