Chapter Twenty-Nine: Changes
Feng Wuji's extermination of the Japanese in Fujian was quickly reported to the imperial court, and although the credit was attributed to the Anjun Wang's management of the army and the lives of the soldiers, the emperor and the civil and military officials still praised this political achievement. Although the way of employing troops is mainly to generals, the truly wise men know that without a stable rear and financial resources, it is undoubtedly a joke to talk about sending troops. Just after the catastrophe in Fujian, Feng Wuxian was able to crack down on the Japanese with the king of Anjun like lightning, which undoubtedly proved that the situation in Fujian had been effectively controlled.
With the secret help of the Luo family, they mobilized the coastal residents to strictly investigate the spies who colluded with the Japanese invaders, and several groups of invading Japanese invaders were slaughtered by the army, and none of them survived. The wooden shelves on the shore are full of exposed corpses, and from time to time carrion birds come to enjoy a good meal, and many of the corpses have their bones exposed. Fishermen who went out to sea also often used carrion on their carcasses as bait, and farmers often exchanged messages with bells. Once the Japanese were discovered, everyone took up their weapons to meet the enemy, all of which meant to take turns to go into battle, which disappointed the Japanese who thought that the people of the Central Plains were weak. Due to the high rewards offered by the government and merchants, many families who had been poisoned by the Japanese even went to participate in the government's training and received a lot of rudimentary weapons, just hoping to kill one of them. All of a sudden, Fujian was already a soldier and murderous.
Such a terrifying scene actually appeared in Lingyun, who has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, which made many bold and reckless widows also restrain a lot. In addition, the **** emperor sent someone to send an edict with extremely harsh wording to the emperor of the Japanese state, and also put on a posture of not hesitating to use troops on a large scale, and the neighboring country of Goryeo was also ready to take advantage of the situation, which made the shogunate, which was originally free to plunder and even connived at time from time to time, couldn't help but panic, and issued several edicts prohibiting its people from going to sea to plunder. As for Mingchuan Noxiu, who was executed for the first time, he even affected his family because of his disrespectful remarks to the **** prince, and the courtless shogun's henchman Yoshino actually offered the thirteen heads of his family members to show his piety, which made the Lingyun envoys despised.
It's the New Year in a blink of an eye, however, for Feng Wuzhao, who is far away in the northwest (because of the neglect of the relationship between avoidance before, the five princes have changed from this chapter to Feng Wuzhao, and I will gradually revise the previous chapters). His mother's sudden loss of power caused all the generals and leaders who had always been deferential to him to change color, and even the subordinates of the Qin Mission's subordinates were talking behind their backs. Duan Zhiyuan, the general of Fenwei, who had promised to give his full support, suddenly avoided it far away, and even sent someone to return the 200,000 taels of silver tickets he had received at the beginning.
"Those ungrateful things!" The young prince slammed his fist on the door frame, his eyes full of sinister light, "As soon as they heard that the queen mother had fallen out of favor, they were impatient to dissociate themselves from this king. Hmph, do you think that this king has lost the possibility of winning the great treasure because of this little thing? ”
Uncle Huo, a henchman on the side, took a step forward and looked at no one around, and then said softly: "Lord Wang, although those big officials are as slippery as earthworms, those middle-level generals are easy to buy. These days, the minions have spent a total of nearly 100,000 taels of silver, and there are more than 20 guerrilla generals and colonels who have been bought. They have all survived in the bitter cold land of the northwest for many years, and they have long thought about the flower world of the Central Plains. ”
"Good!" Feng Wuzhao glanced approvingly at this henchman who had been studying since childhood, "Ah Qi, as long as you are loyal to this king, if there is a day in the future, this king will never treat you badly!" ”
"Thank you for the prince's reward, the slave will do his best." Huo Shuqi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, his expression full of joy.
"Okay, this is not the capital, so you don't need to memorize those rules and etiquette." Feng Wuzhao thought of his mother's situation again, and suddenly became depressed again, "I think that the queen mother has been in charge of the sixth palace for many years, and she has never made a big mistake, and it has actually reached the point of being abolished overnight, and my father and emperor can't help but miss the kindness of husband and wife." Not only that, but he even wants to eradicate the He family together, does he really not like the son of this king? ”
Uncle Huo cautiously did not answer, the matter involved the royal family, no matter how favored he was, he was just a minion, so it was better to intervene less. Abide by his duty, not greedy or arrogant, only in this way will the master's grace last, and since he was sensible, he has been constantly instilled by his mother. In his opinion, those ministers of the court, harem concubines are not even as wise and skilled as their mothers, although the current emperor cannot be said to be a Ming monarch, but the inspection is extremely strict, and they have not come out for a while, but the time has not come, it is ridiculous that they still think they can cover the sky with one hand. He is the eldest son in the family, although he comes from a humble background, but if his mother can succeed, then his glory and wealth will never be a problem. Thinking about it, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but fortunately, his head was pressed very low, and there were no outsiders around, and Feng Wuzhao was thinking about his thoughts, so no one saw it.
"Ah Qi, don't let go of those tiny little officials, if my father really has any worries about this king, they will come in handy at that time." Feng Wuzhao didn't care about Huo Shuqi's silence, and said again, "Fortunately, He Furong went out of Beijing before the bad thing, and there are not a few silver tickets he brought, otherwise how can he afford such expenses." I heard that the cheap uncle of this king, He Mofei, actually slipped out before raiding the house, and he must have brought a lot of silver taels with him. Send someone to inquire if he has come to the northwest, and if you find him, send him back, so that your father will not be worried. ”
Uncle Huo felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't expect his mother's family to lose power, and Feng Wuzhao called He Furong by his name, and all the uncles and uncles who were long and short on weekdays disappeared. Even He Mofei refused to let go of the things on his body, no wonder the emperor refused to follow the example of the empress and the concubine in the ancestral system. I really didn't read it wrong, with such a master, sooner or later he would be thrown out to die in place. "Don't worry, the servants will definitely send someone to pay attention, and they will definitely let Lord He return to Beijing safely."
The third prince who was pestering Mian on the sickbed was speechless when he heard the news from Kyori and barely jumped out of bed directly. The queen's sudden fall from grace was undoubtedly great news for him, after all, Feng Wuzhao was his biggest enemy on the road to succession. The so-called son is more precious than his mother, Feng Wuzhao is overpowering himself with the identity of the queen's concubine, and now this thorn in the eye has lost its light in an instant, how can he not be happy?
"Master, the slave is here to congratulate you!" The personal little eunuch Fu Man knelt down with a smile and said, "Since the queen has fallen out of favor, De Niangniang must be able to be more favored, and then you will be able to go further!" ”
The smiling Feng Wuyan listened happily at first, but when he heard his mother's name, his face immediately changed. Although his mother has a noble position in the palace, she has always been listed after Concubine Yu, and his father has also mentioned many times that his mother does not know the general situation, and she has often competed for favor, which sometimes makes him quite annoyed. Now that the position of queen may be vacant, I hope she doesn't do such an outrageous thing.
"Fuman, you go and call Mr. Lian and a few of them over." Feng Wuwen commanded, "This king has important matters to consult with them. ”
Seeing Fuman leave in a hurry, Feng Wuyan couldn't help but have a little headache, in order to facilitate contact and get some ideas for himself when he was urgent, he left Murong and several others in the capital, and now there are only three people who can be used at hand, Lian Jin and the other three, and there is really a shortage of manpower. Alas, my father transferred so many princes out of the capital in one go, which really hurt us!
"Respectfully, what do you think the other princes will do when they learn the news of the queen's fall from grace?" The fourth prince asked casually while looking at the secret report in his hand.
Zhou Yan thought for a moment, and then replied: "If the mother concubine is favored in the palace, of course she is trying her best to assist her mother to compete for that position, right?" His Royal Highness's mother, Concubine Yun Guifei, is in the position of a concubine, and in terms of position, she is second only to Concubine Yu and Concubine De, maybe she can ...... this time."
Feng Wuhou waved his hand to stop the henchman's words, "Your own family knows your own affairs, so you don't have to perfunctory this king with these words." He rubbed his injured arm and sighed, "This king's mother concubine has never been good at competing for favor, and being able to win the title of concubine is just the credit of my father and the ancestor of the Ma family, and the queen doesn't need to think about it at all." What this king said just now has a different meaning, and you can know that Lao Qi made an excerpt and strongly persuaded his father to abandon the idea of abolishing the queen. ”
"What? That's impossible! Zhou Yan couldn't help but blurt out, Feng Wuji's biological mother Yu Guifei is not to mention the noble status, she not only has two sons, but also won the emperor's favor, if the queen is really abolished, then the position of the mother of the country will fall into her bag nine times out of ten. Feng Wuxian wrote a book to advise at this time, didn't he sing against his mother?
"I can't see through more than one of them!" Feng Wuhou sighed, quite emotional, "This old seven is showing his skills in Fujian, and he is both disaster relief and extermination, and he is actually impressive. In Beijing, another stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a piece of music made hundreds of civil and military officials talk about it, completely overshadowing the limelight of those of us who do nothing, it is really not simple! ”
"However, my subordinates heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh seems to be not of the same mind as Concubine Yu?" Zhou Yan carefully considered the sentence and asked tentatively, "Could it be that he has other plans?" ”
"Jingzhi, you haven't seen that Yu Guifei, compared to other concubines, whether it is means or scheming, she is much stronger, otherwise you think that with beauty alone, she can tie her father's heart for more than ten years? The grievances between Lao Qi and her, how can we, outsiders, know, besides, I heard that the woman also praised her son's performance this time, and even begged her father to pardon the queen and the He family, which won a lot of favor. ”
The master and the slave looked at each other silently, although they were both happy with the queen's fall from grace, but they felt a deep scruple from the heart of the budding wind without a trace.
