Chapter III: Instigation

Chen Lingcheng and Shi Jingqi couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw the blue and white faces of the wind without a trace, it seems that yesterday's wedding night was not easy. However, both of them are extremely smart people, so naturally they will not announce it, but knowingly discuss the affairs of Fujian, and the atmosphere has gradually become solemn. Although Feng Wuxian had reached a consensus with his maternal uncle Xiao Yunchao, after all, the selection of Fujian had to be nodded by the emperor himself, and if there was a mistake, he would no longer have a place to buffer, so he had to be cautious to ten points.

"How many days has Song Jun been idle?" Feng Wuxian suddenly asked.

"It should have been more than ten days." Shi Jingqi replied, "I hope that my fellow villager can arrange everything properly." He still can't forget the situation when Song Jun first arrived in Fujian, and if those businessmen come up with any tricks, the new governor may not be able to accept them.

"Dead horses should be live horse doctors!" Feng Wuxian also felt helpless, "Song Junxian is a person who has suffered losses, and he will never make this kind of mistake again, not to mention that today's businessmen and wealthy families will never be as arrogant as they were at the beginning." Although Guo Lu and the two are available and can be regarded as capable members, but their loyalty is worrying, this time the emperor locked them into Beijing, and the king can only come forward again, at least to save their lives, otherwise who else will dare to take refuge in this king in the future? Although they despise the official qualities of the two, when it comes to the art of being officials, Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang do have a set, after all, they are veterans of more than ten years of ups and downs in the sea. If you give up easily, it's really a pity that two talents are vying for power.

"Although His Royal Highness is now favored by the emperor, after all, this matter is too important, and the suspicion of the ministers should not be underestimated. If you really try to save the lives of the two people, I am afraid that you will have to have external help. Chen Lingcheng suddenly spoke, his face suddenly became extremely cold, "If you can make the northwest side move, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to take care of this." ”

"What?" Feng Wuxian and Shi Jingqi exclaimed at the same time, and a sense of absurdity swelled in their hearts. Chen Lingcheng can often make an amazing move at a critical moment, but this time it is too outrageous. "Old Chen, do you mean to force the fifth brother to mess up?" Feng Wuji's eyes widened in disbelief, "The Empress and the He family have both lost power, if he is here now, won't he force his father and the emperor to be ruthless?" ”

"I'm afraid the emperor already has this heart." Shi Jingqi nodded thoughtfully, "Of the two things in the north and the south, the emperor is most worried about the north, after all, His Royal Highness is already in the capital, and he can't turn the sky upside down." And the Fifth Highness is already holding the identity of the queen mother, and there are not a few supporters among the civil and military officials, if they can get the support of the Northwest Army this time, they will not be able to suppress it easily as soon as the anti-flag is erected. How could the emperor ignore it? If my expectations are correct, the officials who have close contacts between Jingzhong and the Fifth Highness have long been monitored at this time. ”

Feng Wuxian glanced at the two of them, and felt powerless in his heart. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, it's really not bad, as soon as the queen fell, the He family suffered, and even Feng Wuzhao, who had the highest call for succession, was as easy to break as a reed in the wind. "It seems that even if this king doesn't want to do this, the fifth brother will do it himself." He threw out a sentence stiffly, "You two have said so much, is that what you mean?" ”

"Your Highness is wise." Chen Lingcheng said with a smile, "Whether it succeeds or not, it is His Royal Highness who makes his own decision, at most we are just fanning the flames, and the errand of lighting the fire depends on himself." ”

Although he was fully prepared, Feng Wuzhao was still uneasy in his heart. If it weren't for such a sudden change in the capital, how could he be desperate and try to support his troops to protect himself? Hmph, what position of power depends on the father's thoughts, the queen mother is deposed overnight, his glory and wealth will also come to naught, if he doesn't launch it at this time, he is really a lamb to be slaughtered. "Aqi, are you sure everything is ready?" He asked again, his face a little blue.

"Your Highness, rest assured, if the slave dares to guarantee with his life, there will be absolutely no problems." Huo Shuqi replied respectfully, "The 30,000 horses over there are the elite divisions in the northwest camp, and all the soldiers are from the local area, and their families are also nearby, so there is no worries." They follow His Highness just for the sake of wealth. With their loyalty, His Highness could easily take the Northwest Battalion. As long as General Feng gives up his handsome position, why worry about big things? ”

"I'm afraid that this king, the imperial uncle, doesn't know each other!" Stationed in the northwest camp is the current emperor's cousin Feng Huanjie, because he has brilliant military achievements and has never been humble and arrogant, so he is the most trusted person among the emperor's peers. However, Rao is like this, Feng Wuzhao also found out that the emperor has placed a lot of cronies around this person, lest Feng Huanjie have different intentions. However, Feng Wuzhao had successfully bought these people, so he was Liao Ruo in charge of Feng Huanjie's every move.

"Ah Qi, I ordered to go down, this king will set up a banquet ten days later, and invite Prince Duan Huanjie and General Duan Zhiyuan." Feng Wuzhao ordered, "You say that this king has obtained the emperor's secret decree, please come here." In order to prevent them from being suspicious, you should ask for more generals in the battalion, remember, people you can control. ”

Uncle Huo's heart froze, it seemed that the master was finally going to make a move. He bowed his head deeply and replied: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will live up to the trust, and His Highness will definitely get his wish." ”

"His Royal Highness Fifth said that he was ordered by the emperor?" Feng Huanjie looked at the invitation, and then glanced at Huo Shuqi, who was kneeling underneath, and was shocked in his heart. Years of conquest have not eroded his intuition as an imperial family, and the emperor's intentions are the most difficult to guess. "When you go back and reply to the Fifth Highness, you will say that this king will definitely go to the banquet." He knew that he couldn't get anything out of the mouth of this Feng Wuzhao's henchman, so he had to readily agree.

Duan Zhiyuan's suspicion is by no means a half-star, he is different from Feng Huanjie, he has an inextricable relationship with Jingli, and he has the emperor's trust. Therefore, as soon as he got the news of the emperor's disposition of the He family, he cut off the contact with Feng Wuzhao early, lest he arouse the emperor's suspicion. And it was the fifth prince of the mother clan who lost power, who actually claimed to have been sent to the emperor's secret edict, how he thought and wondered, so he did not give a clear answer after taking the invitation.

"Duan Da, do you think I should go or not?" Duan Zhiyuan thought of Duan Da, a confidant and guard standing aside, and couldn't help but ask casually.

"General Qiqi, according to the opinion of his subordinates, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness is carrying the name of Qincha, if the general does not go, at least one charge of contempt for Qincha will not be able to escape. At that time, if the emperor blames him, the general's good future may ......" He closed his mouth knowingly, and let the boss think about the rest of his own words.

"Then if His Royal Highness the Fifth has ill intentions and tries in vain to wipe us out, I am afraid the consequences will be even more serious." Duan Zhiyuan only felt that his head ached, after all, he was only a military general, and he was really not good at these intriguing things, but those senior staff officers in the army could still make do with the war, and it would be useless to discuss this matter. Besides, the fewer people know about these things that are related to heaven, the better.

"If the general is worried about any intentions of the Fifth Highness, he can lay down the sergeant in advance in case of contingency." Duan Da blurted out, but immediately he realized his recklessness, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your subordinates should die, please forgive the general." As soon as he thought that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness was a legitimate Qincha, Duan Da felt a cold sweat. The sin of slandering Qin Cha is not light, and who knows what the general will do with himself when he is angry.

Duan Zhiyuan didn't think it was a pestle, but nodded approvingly, "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, I will secretly lay down three hundred sergeants when I arrive, under your command, if there is anything in case, you will rush in!" ”

Duan Da's heart was relieved, and he immediately responded yes.

His Royal Highness the Fifth personally feasted guests, and the boss of Jubin Lou was full of energy to get out of the limelight. Although it is a bitter cold place in the northwest, if the dishes are also first-class and rich, the boss also specially mobilized famous chefs from all over the city to help, trying to leave a good impression on the dignitaries. But he never thought that it was the arrival of these nobles that made the future Jubin Lou unattended, and his hard work was all in vain.

The wine and food spread to the banquet like flowing water, to the surprise of Feng Huanjie and Duan Zhiyuan, Feng Wuzhao also invited many generals from the Northwest Military Camp, and the hearts of the two gradually calmed down. Both of them have been rooted in the northwest for many years, and they are also very familiar with these people, and they will never believe that Feng Wuzhao dares to attack so many people at once, so the chopsticks that carry the vegetables are also more diligent, and there is a little stiff smile on their faces, but the wine glass is still slightly touched to the lips.

Feng Wuzhao watched all this quietly, he was not stupid enough to poison the wine and food, this kind of indiscriminate trick, as a prince, he still disdained to do it. What's more, as long as the will comes out, Forgiveness Fenghuanjie and Duan Zhiyuan will not dare to resist easily, and they will be able to suppress those unruly generals.

Finally, Feng Wuzhao took advantage of the drunken moment to glance at Uncle Huo beside him, and Zhiji's henchmen immediately slipped out quietly, Feng Huanjie and Duan Zhiyuan had already taken precautions, so they both kept their hearts. It's just that Feng Wuzhao frequently persuaded them to drink, and the two of them couldn't find a chance to communicate with their subordinates, plus the generals who were familiar with them on weekdays all stepped forward to say compliments, they could only deal with them one by one, but there was a bad feeling in their hearts.

Feng Wuzhao saw that the time had come, and suddenly left the table and walked to the center of the hall and said: "Counting, it has been almost a year since this king went to the northwest, but the intersection with you is only general, it is really ashamed, today's banquet is this king's thanks to the generals." He watched with satisfaction as everyone's eyes focused on himself, and the conversation suddenly changed, "However, this king has received a secret report that there are people in the northwest camp who have bad intentions!" ”

The big hat was buttoned down, and everyone's drunkenness couldn't help but wake up halfway, and they turned their suspicious eyes to the people around them one by one. After all, rebellion is a taboo in the army, and no one wants to be involved for no reason.
