Chapter 352: The Storm Rises Again

"Grandfather's meaning, the current situation is deliberately done by the academy, for the sake of ...... Just want the emperor to see enough?"

At the same time, in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the face of his grandfather's inquiring gaze, Zhou Zechen also silently spit out these words.

"Chen'er, you're right. So at today's court meeting, my grandfather said that he was sick and avoided it. Zhou Xingxing glanced at his grandson, and his seemingly cloudy old eyes were full of fine light. "Chen'er, the dust has settled on this matter, and now that girl has already left the city......"

"Grandfather," Zhou Zechen interrupted him indifferently, and said calmly, "That girl's matter has nothing to do with the grandson." At the moment, the business is important, let's talk about the Tongzhou camp first. ”

Zhou Xingxing looked at him deeply, and after a while, he smiled. "Okay, Chen'er, tell me, what do you think of the current situation?"

Zhou Zechen knew that this was his grandfather's deliberate consideration, and it was also ...... Another kind of silent temptation.

He secretly took a deep breath, looked up at the map on the wall, and said calmly and indifferently, "As Grandfather Fang Cai analyzed, the eldest prince was not a mediocre person, but he has been hiding in the capital for so many years, which shows that there are some city governments. Now, the emperor ordered him to hold the Tongzhou army hostage, and gave him the title of the prince, it is conceivable that the prince's mansion, which has been silent for many years, is afraid that it will be lively for some time...... But ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, glanced back at his grandfather, and then continued, "However, the emperor has always been very suspicious, and he didn't trust the eldest prince very much. Now, if the eldest prince is smart enough, he is afraid that he will behave rashly for a few days. Therefore, Sun Er dared to guess that although the eldest prince had the imperial order to hold the Tongzhou camp hostage, he would not leave the city immediately. Therefore, the time left for Zhang Ping is quite generous. ”

Zhou Xingxing shook his head with a smile.

Zhou Zechen frowned slightly. Could it be that you are not doing the right analysis?

"Chen'er, you have a good analysis. Zhou Xingxing said with a relieved face, "Since you were a child, you haven't talked much." Now that you can say such a thing, my grandfather also knows that you have indeed grown a lot and changed a lot in the recent period. However, in analyzing the government and politics, we need to start from the big picture, but we can't let go of the small things. You must know that all the things in this court are closely related, and they affect the whole body. ”

"The grandson was taught. Zhou Zechen bowed, then raised his head and said, "Grandfather, did your grandson ignore something?"

After asking, he quickly went over the recent events in his heart to make sure that he had not neglected anything...... But what does grandfather mean?

Zhou Zechen frowned slightly.

Zhou Xingxing waved his hand, sighed and said, "Chen'er, something happened to Chen Tangguan." ”

Chentangguan?

Zhou Zechen suddenly turned his head and looked at the map on the wall.

"Grandfather, who did it?" he asked.

Chentang Pass is the first pass to guard the capital, who will make trouble at this time?

Could it be that the man still thinks that the current court is not chaotic enough?

Zhou Xingxing shook his head, and his face gradually became heavy.

"Grandfather didn't know. He sighed in a low voice, "But grandfather knows that the person behind it is in trouble at this time, and he is afraid that he is going towards the Tongzhou army." So, in fact, there is not much time left for that girl and Zhang Ping. If the Tongzhou camp is opened, the emperor will definitely not rest assured, and the eldest prince will definitely rush to the Tongzhou camp with the eyeliner arranged by the emperor beside him......"

Zhou Zechen's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, but under Zhou Xingxing's gaze, he didn't say anything, just calm and indifferent as always.

That girl is so smart.

He should believe in her, and he must believe in her!

......

In the Tongzhou camp, An Lingsu and Wang Qiuyu discussed something in a low voice, Zhang Ping ignored the two, and looked directly at the sand table in front of him, his mind gradually moved away from the marriage contract, and his face gradually returned to calm.

Those intrigues and tricks in the court are not what he is good at. What he is good at has always been on the battlefield.

As for the marriage with Yuwen Ling'er? Zhang Ping smiled, the family and the country are in front of the world, and the love of children is long...... That's good now.

What's more, the current situation is complicated, and he can't afford to think more about the private affairs of those children.

Chentangguan......

Zhang Ping sighed, his heart sank, and he stared intently at the sand table in front of him!

At this time, An Lingsu and the others analyzed the situation in the imperial court, and as soon as they turned around, they saw that Zhang Ping's expression was a little wrong.

"Zhang Ping, what's wrong?" she asked.

Several people looked over, but Zhang Ping shook his head.

"Su Su, you see, from Chentangguan to the capital, there is no danger to defend all the way, if the army pulls out the camp, it can be reached in five days at the earliest. If something really happens over there, only the Tongzhou army can rush to the aid near the capital. But ......" said this, Zhang Ping frowned slightly and sighed.

"What's wrong?" An Lingsu asked.

In terms of military affairs, she really doesn't know as much as Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping pointed to a certain place in the sand table and said in a deep voice, "However, I have read the military reports sent from the Imperial Military Headquarters by the hands of General Gu. Outside of Chentang Pass, there has been no recent transfer of troops in the various states...... However, before Professor Luo left today, he did receive a military intelligence ...... from there."

"So," An Lingsu reacted immediately, and said with the same solemn face, "Are you suspecting that someone secretly moved his hands and feet to deliberately let Chen Tangguan have an accident, in order to transfer the Tongzhou camp that is now stationed on the outskirts of the capital?"

"Hmm. Zhang Ping nodded, "I have analyzed the military report sent by the military department before. Chen Tangguan's side, logically speaking, will definitely be fine. But now ...... I just can't figure it out, who would secretly make a move at this time?"

When the rest of the people heard him say this, they also looked at each other.

The emperor wants to see the attitude of the eldest prince, and it is absolutely impossible to move the Tongzhou camp at this time, and the various family lords still want to master the Tongzhou camp through the hands of Zhang Ping and the eldest prince.

After all, if everyone is gone, how can they reach out?

In this way, this is indeed a bit strange.

"Could it be Prime Minister Zhou?" Lin Xiangwan said suddenly, "Susu, didn't you say that the attitude of the Zhou family was a little strange recently?"

Zhou Xingxing?

An Lingsu shook his head slowly, "It won't be the Zhou family." ”

The Zhou family wanted the world to be in chaos, but at this time, the Zhou family had no reason to let the Tongzhou camp leave the capital. After all, now that the Tongzhou battalion is in the hands of the academy, and the Tongzhou battalion stays in the capital, the emperor will be distraught......

How can the side of the couch allow others to sleep peacefully? The Tongzhou camp stationed in the suburbs was actually a knife on the emperor's head.

And once the Tongzhou battalion left the capital, the emperor would definitely breathe a sigh of relief.

Such a result is not what the Zhou family wants to see.

In fact, the Tongzhou battalion in the hands of the eldest princess was able to rush to the outskirts of Beijing, and among them, Zhou Xingxing was indispensable to help behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how big is the formation of 100,000 troops from Tongzhou to Beijing that day, and how can it be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears?

It's not the imperial court, it's not the emperor, it's not the various families, it's not Zhou Xingxing, who will it be?

The crowd fell silent.

After half a ring, Zhang Ping suddenly raised his head and glanced at An Lingsu, "Susu, how long will the eldest prince stay in the capital before he can leave the capital?"

An Lingsu didn't answer this question, but asked, "Zhang Ping, how long will it take for you to completely control these 100,000 Tongzhou troops and let them obey your life as the commander?"

Zhang Ping smiled bitterly.

With his own strength, it is really difficult to completely master the 100,000 Tongzhou army.

Now, he can only barely control the 100,000 army here. The rest, he needs time......

However, in the face of Su Su's sincere gaze, he thought about it for a while, and still said bluntly, "Su Su, if you are on the battlefield, with my strength, if you want to subdue these 100,000 Tongzhou troops, the number of one month is enough." But now, near the outskirts of Beijing, there is no war, and if you want to subdue these soldiers and ruffians in peacetime, you will not have the work of March and May, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”

As a general, a commander-in-chief, if you want to subdue an army, the fastest way is naturally on the battlefield.

Several people present understood this truth.

"Three or five months, definitely not. An Lingsu shook his head, "Even if the eldest prince delays again, if he doesn't leave Beijing within half a month, the emperor is afraid that he will have some side thoughts." ”

For example, was the eldest prince stunned by the pie that suddenly fell from this world, and he had some ulterior thoughts, and he also began to ...... Forming a party for personal gain?

Or, has the eldest prince been bribed by others and deliberately allowed the 100,000 Tongzhou troops to remain in Zhang Ping's hands?

Therefore, the eldest prince can delay seven or eight days of effort in the capital to show his mediocrity, show the joy and frivolity after he took over such a heavy task at the beginning, and he can also use these seven or eight days to go to the palace to cry and express his feelings, and follow the emperor's wishes to make up for the royal father-son relationship.

But this time must not be too long.

Half a month is the limit.

Otherwise, with the emperor's suspicious nature, there will definitely be another incident.

"Half a month?" Zhang Ping understood what she meant, and frowned slightly, "Susu, I won't hide it from you, I am not a person with great achievements like General Gu, and I don't have any foundation in the army...... I'm afraid I can't. ”

In the army, if you can't do absolute prohibitions, once some people have that careful thinking, it will be very fatal!

"Can't you delay it any longer?" Lin Xiangwan was also a person who had led troops to fight in Northern Xinjiang, and frowned when he heard this, "Susu, over there in the capital, can we use some more means to delay this matter?"
