Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 42 Heart-to-heart

Xiao Shi saw that the idle people and others had retreated, so he said solemnly: "The emperor is here for something unsparing?" Although the wind did not occur when the rì court meeting did not occur without a trace, she knew in her heart that her son's pimple had not been eliminated, so although she had already put Feng Wuxi under house arrest, she still had the cruelty to never visit once.

Feng Wuxian saw that his mother was the first to speak, so he stopped going around in circles. "Shi Cai I have discussed this matter with Prince Min and the Minister of the Sea, so the punishment for no regret has been decided. Although it is a felony for him to covet a big position and collude with Zhang Qian, the commander of the Nine Gates, it is a great rebellious crime, but at this moment, I don't want to be too public. I mean to put him under house arrest to study, I don't know what the Queen Mother wants? ”

Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a meaningful smile. "You are the emperor, as long as you don't feel too lenient, where can the mourning family care about this. But......" she stopped talking, as if thinking of something again, "It's a pity that the kid is a dead eye, it's the mourning family who has spoiled him since he was a child, and he can't let it go." Even if he is under house arrest, there may be people who take advantage of his identity. She could accentuate her tone and suggest, "The emperor might as well send his henchmen to take turns watching him, so that he can rest assured, and the mourning family will no longer have to worry for him." ”

Feng Wuxian felt a pang in his heart, and then smiled convincingly: "It is worthy of being the queen mother, I think very thoughtfully, but I am still a little behind." Seeing that Xiao seemed to be a little self-conscious, he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot, "Since I have ascended the throne, I also sent a letter to Prince An, asking him to escort his uncle and Yu Rongqi back. He thought of it, and his face became solemn again, "As soon as the news of the death of the first emperor came out, the gossip outside spread again, and some of the words were even very ugly, those who were secretly wasting were really hateful!" ”

Xiao naturally knew who his son was referring to, and he was suddenly silent. For those royal relatives with respected status, it is indeed difficult for them to make any radical moves at the moment, otherwise it is very easy to provoke big changes. "Let's figure it out." Xiao Shi sighed and persuaded insincerely, "The first emperor has been reigning for so long, but in the end he still hasn't taken care of things clearly, not to mention that you are an emperor who has just ascended the throne?" There are some things that it may not be better to know than not to know, and if you have such a stone in your heart, there will be more constraints on acting in the future. She suddenly remembered the two shadow guards of the first emperor, and couldn't help but ask, "Those two have already obeyed you?" ”

Feng Wuxian was stunned for a moment before he understood what his mother was referring to, and nodded heavily. "With them, my life will be safe in the future, but I still have to take care of other things." He remembered what he had discussed with Hai Guanyu and the others before, and decided to inform his mother, "Since Zhang Qian has been imprisoned, the position of Admiral of Jiumen is vacant. As a result of my discussions with Haixiang and Prince Min, Xu Chunshu will first act as the commander of the Yamen, and then let him take up his official post after this year. As for the deputy general Cheng Qian, who made great contributions this time, it happened that the term of office of Jiangxi Governor Guan Ruban had expired, and that position was vacant, so he was transferred there to take up his post. ”

Xiao Shi listened to his son's arrangement, his face was silent, but his heart jumped suddenly. It must be known that Cheng Qian, who is currently acting as the commander of the infantry army and the yamen, is a member of the Xiao family, and as soon as Feng Wuxian is turned away, the defense of the capital will completely fall into the hands of this son. However, at this moment, she was bound to not be able to give up her mind for this matter, so she nodded and said: "Your arrangement is good, the defense of the capital is the top priority, and it is naturally better to be in charge of the henchmen." ”

Feng Wuxian saw that Xiao Shi was not unhappy, so he continued: "The southwest side has also agreed that Zhan Pohan will clean up the mess. He is a person who has passed through the battlefield, and he has to use more than Wenchen, and the military law is tight, so there should be no mistakes. He looked at Xiao Shi Shen as he spoke, after all, this person had a public case on him, and if the situation happened, things would be difficult to handle.

Although Xiao Shi has no taboo against Zhan Pohan, he is still a little unhappy when he sees his son suddenly pull him out so simply, and he reuses Xu Chunshu. She was also inconvenient, so she just said lightly: "According to the emperor's wishes, there is no reason to discuss military affairs with the mourning family, a woman's family, and the emperor and the important ministers have agreed on it." ”

Feng Wuxian knew that his mother had a problem, and said with a smile: "Where is the Queen Mother, although the harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, but I am still young, it is always necessary to inform you of big and small things, if there is anything wrong, you can also mention one or two." Seeing that Xiao was still silent, he asked again, "It's just that the governor of Fengtai Daying is vacant again, and there is no follow-up after discussing the candidates outside for a while just now, I don't know who the Queen Mother thinks is suitable?" ”

Xiao Shi smiled at this time, "You let Zhan Pohan out, and you didn't know who could take over, you really moved too fast." She stretched out her hand and took a stalk of gold and jade Ruyi, and then ordered, "You will take it to reward Yu Xinqi later, if it weren't for the great help of this military department Shangshu this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have ascended the throne so smoothly." Although he doesn't have any real power, he is always an official of the military department, and he still has an account in his heart about which generals in the world can be used and which one can't. If you entrap him, you will be able to straighten things out in the military. ”

Feng Wuxian suddenly realized, and secretly scolded his negligence, and then said with a smile: "The Queen Mother also said that it doesn't matter, if you don't mention these things, I will make a big mistake." However, Yu Xinqi's contribution this time is not small, in addition to the Queen Mother's wishful thinking, I'm afraid I still have to reward some other things, right? "He is deliberately testing Xiao's bottom line, after all, the military department is also an important yamen, and it is not very reliable to hand it over to people who are too utilitarian.

"It's up to you, the emperor, to do it." Xiao Shi said noncommittally, took a sip of the teacup, and said leisurely, "The emperor's authority depends on yourself, and the mourning family is just a wake-up." ”

The two talked for a while, and then Feng Wuxian resigned. After the first emperor passed 37, he sent Xiao Fangzi to Yu Xinqi's mansion to upload the decree. Although the skill of Qingtian is not small, it is not as good as the favor of the emperor, so Feng Wuxian does not intend to reward too much at one time.

Rao was like this, Yu Xinqi still felt overjoyed. For him, who has already reached the rank of six Shangshu, things and possessions are undoubtedly trivial, and what is worth celebrating is that dignity. The emperor sent those eunuchs to reward the silk and satin and various sè treasures, the value is only thousands of taels, but the honor is a major event of the glorious lintel. Coupled with the golden jade Ruyi that Xiao Shi added an extra reward, the favor he won this time was definitely not light, and even his son, who had never been able to read, was also a tribute, and it was no problem to exhale and raise his eyebrows.

However, when Xiao Fangzi asked about Yu Xinqi according to the master's intentions, the secretary of the military department suddenly made a difficulty. Of course, he knew who was best suited for those vacancies, however, he had to take into account the wishes of the emperor and the queen mother. After thinking about it for a while, he gritted his teeth and decided on his impartial position, wrote down the resumes of several generals in detail on a piece of paper, and instructed Xiao Fangzi to forward it to the emperor.

On the other side, Xu Chunshu and Zhan Pohan both learned of their new appointment, and they were overjoyed. Xu Chunshu had been in the palace for many years, but he was only a second-class guard, but he was promoted to a first-class guard not long after following the master of Feng Wuxi. At this time, the master was on the throne, and he followed the rising tide to the higher rank, not to mention, he actually got such a big fat shortage, how could he not be overjoyed? Even Ling Renjie and the others envied his good luck and noisily asked him to have a treat, but only the Immortal was still unmoved.

Their group of close ministers of the Son of Heaven poured into Shui Yushengyan, and happened to meet Zhan Pohan's group. Zhan Pohan received the holy decree and the official document of the military department early in the morning, and he was stunned for a while before learning that he would return to the battlefield. Although he had won the promise of Wind Without a Trace back then, he never expected that this future would come so quickly. is also a superb officer, the commander of the Fengtai battalion focuses on defense, and when he goes to the southwest, he is the chief general who controls the military of the two provinces, and can fight on the battlefield. Therefore, compared with the two, he naturally tasted three of them, how could he not be grateful for the grace of the new monarch?

Two groups of jubilant people collided together, and of course it was another bitter drink. The shopkeeper Li Qiao knew that these people were all favored and trusted by the new monarch, so he emptied the third floor for them to celebrate, and the wine and food were sent upstairs like flowing water. After everyone downstairs understood their identities, they all showed envious eyes, and the close ministers of the Son of Heaven plus the generals in charge of the military power, this glory was really eye-catching. In the midst of these envious crowds, there were a few pairs of eyes shining with cold light.

On August 28, the 29th year of Wanlie, Emperor Feng Wuxian appointed Zhan Pohan, the commander of the Fengtai Daying, as the general of Wuwei on the grounds of the urgent military situation in the southwest, and went to the southwest to lead the army and control the military of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

With rì, the emperor officially sent Zhang Qian, the former governor of Jiumen, to prison for the crime of treason, and handed him over to Dali Temple together with Feng Huaishu, the left attendant of the former Ministry of Works, and Xu Wenxi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and selected Rì for the Jiuqing trial.

With rì, the emperor acted as the commander of the Yamen of the infantry army with Xu Chunshu, who was the former first-class guard of the imperial front and the official rank of the second rank, and acted as the commander of the Nine Gates, and transferred Cheng Qian, the deputy general of the former acting commander of the infantry army, to the governor of Jiangxi.

On September 10 of the 29th year of Wanlie, Prince An sent people to escort Xiao Yunchao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yu Rong, the Shangshu of the Li Fan Yuan, back to Beijing, along with the county lord of Yana of the Kurten Department and the county lord of Mingxiu of the Sak Department.

On September 20 of the 29th year of Wanlie, Emperor Feng Wuxian issued an edict to take away the prince of Feng Wuxi and put him under house arrest to study in the mansion on the grounds that Wang Feng of Ningjun did not hesitate to collude with foreign officials and plot against him. At the same time, the original Ningjun Wangfu should be replaced, and the Internal Affairs Office sent people to serve them, and a battalion of the forbidden army was transferred to take turns to be responsible for the defense.

On September 28, the 29th year of Wanlie, after being prepared by the Ministry of Rites, a grand enthronement ceremony was held in the Taihe Palace. After that, Feng Wuxian worshiped the Taimiao Heaven and Earth, and told the ancestors in the Fengxian Palace, officially completing all the work that a new monarch should do at this moment. In this festive rìzi, no one noticed that the real people of Ming Fang, who had always lived in seclusion in the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace, disappeared quietly, leaving only a Taoist robe with him. No one knows what happened to this seemingly powerful man of the Tao.

In the twenty-ninth year of Wanlie, a series of events are about to come to an end, and the journey of the new monarch has just begun.

Volume VIII End

Many people have mentioned the title of the Traceless Chapter before, in fact, this was originally set, and I was going to write a double protagonist, so there is also a Junru article, but in the end, after thinking twice, I changed it to a single line and a single protagonist.
