Without a Trace Volume 8 Xinjun Chapter 23 Arraignment
、、、、、、、
Feng Wuxian had a secret conversation with Lai Shan when he noticed a little bit of behavior a few days ago, but the prince of Kurten still felt that he was making a big fuss, but for the sake of prudence, he still informed all his subordinates who were only loyal to him, and ordered them to temporarily obey Feng Wuji's orders if things changed. After the horse fall incident, the other two guards of Feng Wuxian informed these relatives of the Kurten Ministry early, and even ordered Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng to be on strict guard, and even let Xiao Yunchao and Yu Rongqi, two civilian officials, simply move to the barracks.
However, the appearance of the Dzungar army was unexpected, even if it was thought that Ketu Tse Ling would never get into danger without preparation, but the rapid arrival of these soldiers and horses all indicated the fact that at least one of the three major tribes of Southern Mongolia had colluded with the Dzungars. Feng Wuxi's gaze suddenly focused on Prince Sark, who had always been low-key, and that kind of cold expression made all the princes stunned.
"Although it is impossible to determine when Lai Shan's condition will improve, it is indeed artificial, but after being suppressed with a golden needle, it should not be life-threatening for the time being." Xu Chun finally said this relieved sentence, "Now the leaders and staff leaders are in the big tent of Prince Laishan, and all the personal soldiers in the sweat tent are all in place. ”
Immediately he fell to his knees in excitement, "Thank you, merciful gods, if my father can turn the tide of danger, I will definitely give you the most precious tribute!" "He has experienced several ups and downs today, and if he wants to say that he has the heart to replace it with goodness, the problem is that he is by no means so bold, and although the position of the son of the world is threatened, after all, there is no clue. Therefore, he did not dare to risk killing his father. He bowed respectfully to Feng Wuxian again, "Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for clearing the suspicion of his subordinates, otherwise he would have been burdened with such a crime." Even the dead ministers can't be reconciled. ”
"Hahahaha!" Bhutto burst into a burst of laughter, followed by a look of resentment. The crowd didn't have time to speak. I saw him pull out the dagger at his waist sharply, and throw it at the Kertai on the ground. No one expected him to be so crazy, even Ke Tu Ce Ling had a different face, and Tegu even had an expression of fear that the world would not be chaotic. saw Xu Chun flash a few steps quickly and incoherently, and just caught the dagger. By the way, he also dragged Kertai up and hid behind him.
"The Central Plains dialect is called becoming a king and defeating a king, I learned it today!" Bhutto threw out a fierce sentence, and the two guards behind him immediately drew their swords and slashed through the tent, and rushed out with their master.
Kiertai, who had escaped the catastrophe, was suddenly furious, and was about to give the order to pursue, when he heard the wind and said lightly: "There are many personal soldiers brought by the various staff leaders outside, and they can't escape." He settled Kertai, and then turned to the kings, "I have something to say to Prince Sak and Ketuce Khan, and the princes are also frightened today. Please disperse first. ”
Although the princes were full of doubts, they had to retreat and come down this day. They were feasted on their eyes, but they were also greatly frightened. Therefore, although they wanted to find out Feng Wuxi's intentions, they had to go back and deal with their own affairs at this time. Who knows what other fame the Dzungar army will make.
"Lone won't say anything off-topic, the alliance has dragged on until now, it seems that it is in line with the two of you's intentions?" Feng Wuxian said bluntly, "I had doubted that the army of Dzungaria could haunt the Monan grassland, and the role of Neiying would definitely be indispensable, but I didn't expect it to be Prince Sack." If you guessed correctly, with the prince in the center, there should be quite a few tribes you contact? Ke Tuce zero sweat, Lone's patience is also limited, and he came to the alliance just because the court didn't want the people to be overburdened, but if you always intend to provoke, the consequences of the war are not a big deal! ”
His gaze suddenly became extremely cold, "Although you have a lot of personal soldiers, and the five thousand military horses are really a threat, but after all, this place is the territory of the Kurten Ministry, and the northwest camp also has four thousand military horses stationed here, and the lone guards are all in the role of one enemy and hundred, so you had better weigh it clearly." ”
It was the first time that Feng Wuxian had shown such a demeanor, but Ketu Cezero had obviously been prepared. "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said this, the subordinates will no longer be around." He said proudly, "The prosperity of Dzungaria does not depend on me alone, and I made a will earlier before this trip, so even if Your Highness wants to keep me, the warriors of Dzungaria will avenge me." The requirements of the subordinates are very simple, what the subordinates want is Moxi, the justifiable Moxi Mongol Khan, and the court cannot interfere with any of the ministers' actions in Moxi! As for Monan Mongolia, the golden family of the Kurten Ministry has occupied the top spot for so many years, should others be touched? He smiled slyly and mouthed the Prince of Sack Nunu beside him.
Khurich, the prince of Sark, did not have the courage to do so, and when he saw that the wind was untraceable and the facts were exposed, he was three points less courageous. Previously, with the help of the Dzungar army, he secretly annexed several small tribes, and his strength was faintly beyond the Kurten Department, but Southern Mongolia was different from Western Mongolia, which was beyond the reach of the imperial court, and it took at least a lot of preparation time to send troops to fight it. And Mo Nan is already greatly influenced by the Central Plains, and if the northwest military camp has a heart, it will not take much trouble to overwhelm the territory. In order to get the help of the Dzungars, he had already paid a considerable price, and a lot of cattle, sheep and young herdsmen were sent, which allowed the Dzungars to contain the attention of the imperial court for him in the open.
But now there is no room for retreat, he took two steps forward and took a deep look: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the little king is a state of the Heavenly Empire, this will never change, I just implore His Highness to consider what he just said." Now the strength of the Sark Department is stronger than before, and the internal strife of the Kurten Ministry has been seen by all the princes, plus Lai Shan's life and death are unknown, and Keltai is young and cannot serve the public, and their department is no longer qualified to be the leader of the alliance in Monan. ”
"Very well, you all know your opinions." The murderous intent in Feng Wuji's eyes was even worse, "If things go well, then tomorrow's alliance will be the last day, and Lone will give you a satisfactory answer." He dropped these words, and departed without looking back, surrounded by the guards.
"What does he mean exactly?" Hurich felt a palpitation, "He seemed to be murderous just now, isn't it ......?"
Ketuce Zero shook his head, "He'll think about it, it's just a promise that will be reversed at some point." You have seen the covenants of the previous alliances, and few of them can be truly kept. All he wants is time, and so do we, otherwise there would be no need for arguments and bargains in previous deliberations. He looked thoughtfully at his rough big hands, and then said in a deep voice, "What he wants is peace before he ascends the throne, we need time to digest the strength gained this time, and wait until each other is ready, this is the real big battle!" ”
Feng Wuxian put away his cold expression when he left the big tent, and he couldn't see any change on his face. After returning to his big tent, he just wanted to send someone to invite Xiao Yunchao and Yu Rongqi, when he saw Ye Feng, who was staying here, hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, and even forgot to salute, "Your Highness, someone in the capital has sent a letter!" ”
Feng Wuxi's eyelids jumped, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed in his heart, "Announce him in!" ”
The person who came was not from the East Palace, and even Xu Chun didn't recognize his identity for a while, but Xiao Fangzi exclaimed incredulously.
"Ah Cai!"
Feng Wuxian was stunned, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and the person who came was Xiao Fangzi's younger brother, Brother Lang's proud disciple Fang Yong. In order to avoid suspicion over the years, the Xiao Fangzi brothers have hardly met a few times, and at this time, Fang Yong actually came all the way here, obviously something happened in Beijing.
Fang Yong probably knew that everyone in the tent was Feng Wuxi's henchmen, so he didn't bother to say hello to his brother, and said without avoiding suspicion: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, about twenty days ago, the emperor began to say that he was sick and had never been to the court, and there was no news at all during this period. In these twenty days, except for King Ningjun, the emperor did not receive other officials. Now that Zhang Qian, the commander of the Nine Gates, has blocked the city gate, the master is afraid that things will change, and he guesses that something big should happen in the palace, so let me report it! ”
Feng Wuxian only felt dizzy for a while, but thanks to Xu Chun's support behind him, he didn't fall. It was easy to calm down for a while, and then he reluctantly asked: "My father is still fine before he walks alone, what is going on?" "Although the emperor's health is not as good as before, but before Feng Wuxian left Beijing, the emperor once hinted to him that Ming Fang Zhenren had used secret methods to suppress his condition, so there was no problem in holding out for a year.
"The news in the capital has been blocked, and although there is no accurate information, Master speculates that someone may have a secret plot." Fang Yong said calmly, "At the beginning, the news from the palace was that the emperor was sick and would not go to court for the time being, which caused a lot of discussions, but no one doubted that aspect. But from that day on, there were no more eunuchs in the palace, and the guards of the inner court also lived in the palace in shifts. Not only that, King Ningjun frequently went in and out of the palace, and also received major important ministers from time to time, and several old princes seemed to have a lot of actions, and even the behavior of Zhang Gan, the commander of the Nine Gates, was very suspicious. Master has already sent someone to inform the Admiral of the Fengtai Battalion, Zhan Pohan, and asked him to prepare early in the name of His Highness. ”
"What did the queen do?" Feng Wuxian finally regained his final composure, since the matter has come to this point, it will be useless to be thunderous, "As a queen, she should have a choice." ”
"The grass people haven't heard of any moves from the queen." Fang Yong shook his head and said.
Feng Wuxian knew that it was not easy for Brother Lang to send the letter, so he didn't ask any more, and after signaling Brother Xiao Fangzi to go out to talk on his own, he sat down by himself. What happened in the palace is still unknown, if the father really has any case, the situation of not mourning has been in the past, either the queen mother took this to set up a new monarch or the ministers took the opportunity to usurp the throne. Now it seems that the Empress Xiao has obviously not made a decision, otherwise she only needs to pretend to be Emperor Xuan's edict. She is the queen of honor, and even if she is so pretentious, it will not attract suspicion, so the Xiao family is obviously still waiting and seeing.
"Zixu, you summoned everyone over, time is pressing, and it can't be delayed any longer." Although he encountered a great change, Xu Chun still seemed extremely calm, and immediately took the order to leave after hearing the words. Feng Wuxian sneered, and said to himself in an almost inaudible voice: "Although there are not enough people around me, but with the shrewdness of my father, if I cooperate with the layout in the capital, I may not have a chance of winning, not to mention that thing." It's up to you to make the right choice. "Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 8 Xinjun Chapter 23 Arraignment
