Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Iron Wall of the North

The situation in Wancheng has become more and more confusing, and the resurgence of the "Ren Party" has caught the "Xin Party" off guard, but it is so that Gongzi Xin does not dare to make the slightest move, those people do not dare to offend before the eldest son, and Gongzi Xin does not dare to offend.

In just a few days, the advantages and disadvantages of the court were reversed again.

Before entering the gate of Wancheng, Han Kui arched his hand and said goodbye to Lin Yuyan: "Kui temporarily resides in the mansion of Doctor Li's family, and due to the current situation in the court, it is inconvenient to enter the city with His Royal Highness, so I will leave first." ”

In this regard, Lin Yuyan also nodded, he also knew, now Wancheng most of them have labeled Lin Yuyan as a "believer in the party", and he has a close relationship with himself, which is not good news for Han Kui, who wants to seek help from Wuguo.

So Lin Yuyan also smiled and sent Han Kui away: "Mr. is good to go!" ”

Now Lin Yuyan is a world of difference compared to when he first came out of Wancheng, Lin Yuyan and the Zong Guards are both high-headed horses.

These high-headed horses were originally bred by the old clan of Jianyang, and the Shuyang army took nearly four or five hundred horses from the bandits who invaded Jianyang, and there were very few people in the Weiyang army who knew equestrianism, and Lin Yuyan also waved his hand and equipped each of the Zongwei with a horse.

However, the "Gongzi Yan Mansion" where Lin Yuyan lives now is not big, and it is enough to live with some subordinates and the sect guards, and there is no other place to put horses.

Jing Yi asked Zong Wei to find a place outside the city, and Lin Yuyan entered Wancheng first.

To tell the truth, the etiquette system of the Wu Kingdom did not inherit the former Yongguo of Ji Zhou, just by virtue of the battle of the Thorn Yang bandits, Lin Yuyan also contributed a lot, but the imperial court did not send officials out to greet it.

Or know the etiquette in a hurry.

The court of Wuguo is poor now!

Fortunately, Lin Yuyan didn't care about this, and when he entered Wancheng, he went back to Gongzi Yan's mansion directly.

But he didn't expect that the palace attendant had already received the news that Gongzi Yan had returned to the house, and as soon as Lin Yuyan stepped into the mansion, he sent a message.

"Tomorrow, please invite the sixth son of the emperor to go to the Xuanzheng Hall to face the saint."

Lin Yuyan should come down to this matter, and there are a lot more things in the house, Chun Yuqi and the sect guards who originally stayed in Gongzi Yan's mansion have been transferred, and there is no one else except for some mansions.

"Your Highness, the second prince sent a letter to the prince." After Wen Xiangheng arranged the affairs of the house, he came to find Lin Yuyan who was staying with a book.

Lin Yuyan just wanted to fall asleep, wanting to relieve the fatigue of getting off the boat, but when she saw Wen Xiangheng coming, she suppressed the sleepiness in her heart, took the book and pushed it open to look at it, and her brows tightened while looking at it.

Wen Xiangheng saw that his Royal Highness was in this manner, and he also asked, "Your Highness, what did Gongzixin say in the book?" ”

Lin Yuyan raised his head, then looked at Wen Xiangheng and said, "Wen Qing, the second emperor brother said that the old clan of Jianyang has already found the sect and is ready to attack me, let me be careful." ”

"Found the Zongfu?!" Wen Xiangheng also frowned when he heard this, then looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "What is Your Highness's plan?" ”

Lin Yuyan also had a trace of disdain on his face and said: "The old clan of Thorn Yang is just a grasshopper after the autumn, don't pay attention to it, it won't last long." ”

"Your Highness is wrong about this!"

Wen Xiangheng was born in the Zongfu, so he was naturally very familiar with the intricate forces in the Zongfu, so in the face of Lin Yuyan's attitude of not taking the old clan of Jianyang to heart, Lin Yuyan also felt that something was a little inappropriate: "Your Highness, you don't know much about the Zongfu, so you think that the old clan of Jianyang is not enough to trouble." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan stood up from the bed, felt that Wen Xiangheng's words were reasonable, and immediately said, "Wen Qing, you say." ”

Wen Xiangheng watched his Royal Highness sit down, and also walked up to him and said: "Your Highness, although this sect is dominated by the Lin clan of the royal family of the Martial Kingdom, there is no shortage of elders of the old clan of the Martial Kingdom in it, and their weight, whether it is the Lin clan of the clan or the royal Lin clan, it is impossible to ignore their existence, because ...... Because the old clan behind them holds at least seventy percent of the local power of the Martial Kingdom! ”

"Seventy percent of local power?!" Lin Yuyan just took a sip of tea, and when she heard Wen Xiangheng say this, she also swallowed the tea in one gulp, and said in surprise.

"Your Highness doesn't believe it......" Wen Xiangheng looked at Lin Yuyan and replied to himself: "Your Highness has been to Shuyang, Jianyang, and Miyang this time, and has seen and heard a lot along the way, and I am afraid that he also knows the power of the local wealthy families. ”

Lin Yuyan's eyes sank, as if looking at the tea cup on the table, but his attention was carefully recalling Fang Cai Wen Xiangheng's words, it is true that such as the Yang Ling Huangde, and then the Thorn Yang Linglu, all represent the local government power of the Wuguo court, but such as the Yang Ling Huangde, he was born in a poor family, with a shallow foundation, and it seems to have the meaning of "believing in the party", but it is useless after all, the family should not put him in his eyes, and he has not put it in his eyes at all.

The Yang Ling Huang De is a city order delegated to the local area by the Wuguo court, representing the Wuguo court and the official of the Wu State, even so, Lin Yuyan can also see that the Huaiyang Ling Huang De has no tough way against the family of Shuyang.

It is true that this is because of the fact that Huang De was born in a poor family and was weak by nature, but there is no doubt that the authority held by the family is the fundamental reason for restricting the fear of the local government.

For example, the Thorn Yang Ling Lu is an old clan born in Thorn Yang, but the family background is not as good as the old clans such as the Gou family and the Ju family, which is also the reason why Thorn Yang is restricted by the old clan everywhere.

In this way, isn't the rest of the situation in the Martial Kingdom similar?!

Lin Yuyan looked at Wen Xiangheng and said: "The old clan of Thorn Yang has not much left in the bandits, and all that can be left is two or three kittens, I'm afraid it won't be able to stir up any strong winds and waves......"

"Definitely!" Wen Xiangheng said again: "Your Highness, those who can have the elders in the Zongfu must be the old clans with strong background, such a family, there are many vassal old clans, old clans with marriages, and even some families are adoptive, compared to the royal family of Wuguo, these old clans are mostly involved in interests, if the old clan of Jianyang wants to use the Zongfu to get ahead, the old clan of Jianyang has two elders in the Zongfu, one is the patriarch of the Gou family, unless this person is involved in fundamental interests, he will not come forward to persuade the Zongfu, Your Highness has to be careful of another person...... The elder of the Ju clan. ”

"Sect Elder Ju?!" Lin Yuyan raised his head and looked at Wen Xiangheng, and said, "I seem to have heard of this person, Ju Mao?!" ”

"It is this person, presumably His Royal Highness also heard about the battle of Jin Wu Yingchuan, and the commander of my Wu Kingdom is this former general, Ju Mao."

Lin Yuyan nodded, no wonder he felt that Ju Mao's name was familiar, and he dared to love this person who turned out to be Ju Mao, the former general of the Wu Kingdom, who was once known as the "Iron Wall of the North" of the Wu Kingdom.

Jin Wu Yingchuan battle, the northern border of the Wu country is in Yingchuan, the Jin 30,000 army south, Ju Mao led a Wu army to fight, the battle of Yingchuan, which lasted for three months, the Wu country at the cost of 8,000 casualties, killed more than 20,000 Jin troops, and kept Yingchuan, and then more than ten years, the general made it difficult for the Jin State to advance in Yingchuan, but only less than two years after the general stepped down, Yingchuan fell into the hands of the Jin Han clan, when the army was defeated, the old general who had been seventy years old, wrote to Emperor Wu, and asked to personally send troops to recover Yingchuan, but it was the new defeat of the Wu State, the army in northern Xinjiang was crippled, and Emperor Wu rejected the proposal because the old general was old, which made Ju Mao beat his chest.

If this old general came forward, it would make Lin Yuyan feel very tricky, why? It is because this Ju Mao is an old general who has made great achievements for the Wu country, not the old clan of those parasites of the Wu country.

As a general who has been guarding in northern Xinjiang for decades, Wuguo's Nanyang Army and Fangcheng Army are not as senior as this old general, and even the senior generals of the two northern border armies are mostly protΓ©gΓ©s of this old general.

In other words, behind this old general stood the two forces of the old clan and the northern frontier army, and it was such a person, Lin Yuyan couldn't move.

"Ju Mao, this is an admirable old general, Luo Salamander's matter has made me regret Doctor Luo a lot, and I am even more afraid that it is this old general......"

Hearing what His Royal Highness said, Wen Xiangheng also nodded, and said: "Your Highness, the Zongfu has always been a whirlpool of the situation in Wancheng, and His Highness wants to occupy the land of the old clan of Jianyang, even if he doesn't go to the Zongfu, the Zongfu will target His Highness......"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan raised her eyebrows, then slowly raised her head to look at Wen Xiangheng and asked, "Wen Qing means to let me go to the Zongfu?" ”

Wen Xiangheng nodded, and then replied: "Your Highness, the Zongfu is the Zongfu after all, even if the Zongfu is now subservient to the royal family, but it is just to maintain the rule of the royal Lin clan, after all, the old clan of the Wuguo assisted the Lin family in governance." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan thought carefully for a while, and then asked: "I remember that the old clan's Tian Property Deed Jian seems to be in the Thorn Yang Mansion, send someone to it, let the Thorn Yang Ling Lu Yuan bring it to me, and send it over quickly!" ”

Wen Xiangheng was a little puzzled: "Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about this?" ”

Lin Yuyan replied: "I think this thing may be a little useful......

When Wen Xiangheng heard this, he didn't understand where his Royal Highness was thinking of this, but with His Royal Highness's recent performance, Wen Xiangheng understood that His Royal Highness was talented and intelligent, and he was by no means a fool, and he had his own reasons for doing things.

After a long time, I heard Lin Yuyan say: "These guys in the Zongfu are all half-cut people who have entered the ground, what they want is nothing more than their former names before their deaths, and their profits after their deaths, I will personally go to the door, I don't see that they will not understand, that Ju Mao is the former general of the Wuguo after all, I will personally go to interview, it is not considered to humiliate myself, and besides, the Ju clan did not break the spirit of the old clan in the thorny yang bandit trouble this time, and it is understandable that they want to get back the property......"
