Chapter 409: The Ins and Outs (Part II)
"At this point, Your Majesty finally has to give an explanation to the army in the west of the moraine, why this fire happened. His Majesty faced two killers, and finally could not say that this chaotic fate was given by him, and it could not be said that he wanted to shed blood in the western army, so His Majesty had to tell the two of Gao Gu that the Shuo soldiers were composed of naturalized Turkic people, and they were dissatisfied when they heard that they were going to slaughter Hui Hui this time, after all, they were also descendants of the Tiele Nine Divisions, and these Shuo soldiers happened to know that His Majesty's white dragon fish was in Tingzhou, so they wanted to launch a mutiny to rebel, but fortunately they were pacified by the two of them, and the two and the Tingzhou army generals had meritorious service in quelling the chaos, and they were rewarded with Yunyun. ”
"Gao Gu and the others are both rough people, and they were extremely excited to see the Son of Heaven, and now they have received the great merit of quelling the chaos and saving the driver, so naturally there is no doubt about him. This matter, at this point, is nothing in the first place. His Majesty revealed his identity, and obtained the allegiance of the two Gao Gu, the next step should be to visit Anxi in person and move the ordnance workshop to Chang'an. If that had been the case, there would not have been the disaster of today. Your Majesty came to Anxi in person, and a holy decree Ma family workshop would naturally begin to relocate, and with me in Anxi, there would be no problems. ”
Duan Xiushi frowned: "If the doctor is like this, I'm afraid that he will be infamous." ”
Feng Changqing said hesitantly: "The general of the Moxi Army may want to scold me, but there are no two masters of the people, and the Moxi is not a place outside the law, and the signs of the Moxi Army breaking away from the control of Chang'an have already emerged, otherwise why would this be so." I will obey orders in Anxi, and if Chenggong is in Anxi, won't he obey orders? ”
Duan Xiushi was silent for a moment, and suddenly showed a wry smile: "I'm in the west of the moraine, it's the same." You can look at the whole moraine...... Those who are willing to do this are afraid that there are only you and me left. ”
Feng Changqing nodded and said, "It's good if you understand." Renjie's control of the moraine. It's come to this point. It's scary to think about! ”
Gao Gu and the two are both strong generals, but they are both vulgar and unliterate, and they believe what His Majesty said. However, the next day, someone came to the door and told them the truth. ”
"Who is it?"
"Jinman County Order, Cai Zhongman!"
"It's him! The guy who colluded with the Persians and was cut by Renjie with a thousand knives? Duan Xiushi frowned.
Feng Changqing nodded: "At that time, I didn't know that he still had collusion with the Persians, and I thought he was the same as Gao Gu. I think it's Renjie's private talent who acts like this. Originally, I didn't understand where Cai Zhongman's source was, but now the truth has been revealed, and Cai Zhongman's source is the Persians. Cheng Gong, Renjie slashed Cai Zhongman with a thousand knives, only saying that he colluded with the Persians, but did he ever say that he colluded with the Persians? ”
Duan Xiushi shook his head and said: "This has not been said in detail, the Persian Temple is involved in rebellion, these have always been done by Anxi secret agents, Anxi secret agents have another system, and Renjie is the main general." He didn't say anything, and I didn't want to ask much. However, this time Renjie came back and killed many Persians, and extorted a large amount of money from the hands of those traitors. More than 5 million yuan, all of which passed through my hands, some of which were rewarded to the soldiers, and some of which went into the treasury. When Renjie slashed Cai Zhongman with a thousand knives, I watched from the sidelines, and he hated people who colluded with foreign races, which could not be wrong. Not a single trace of the five million dollars was left in the public treasury, and I do not see anything wrong with him. ”
Feng Changqing nodded: "Renjie is a person, naturally he is not useless, but now the old man wants to eliminate traitors for the country, and he also feels that it is a great pity, if he is not so arrogant, why did the matter come to this!" -- Cai Zhongman went to see the two of them and told them the truth about the mutiny, which already made the two extremely angry, just as Cheng Gong said, what is the crime of the Jian'er in the west, he should be innocently killed, and it is extremely unfair for me to know it today, not to mention that the second general is the person concerned! It's 5,000 Shuo soldiers, but what's the crime? Since the Zhenguan period to the south to rely on the Tang Dynasty, it is also a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty to guard the country, even if it is a person of a different race, it is also my Tang people, 5,000 people died in Tingzhou because of His Majesty's chaotic life! ”
Duan Xiushi nodded.
In fact, there are also a lot of Sinicized Turks in the three states of the western part of the country, that is, there are Sinicized Turks in the Anxi army, and they also regard themselves as Han people, and they are extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
"Of course, Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan are both rough people, and they value the nearly 200 soldiers who have lost their own side more, and they don't care about the death of Shuo Fang's soldiers. Your Majesty is indeed at fault, this chaotic fate naturally makes them angry, but Your Majesty has been in the dynasty for more than 40 years, and the prestige is still there, and the two of them know the truth, but it is impossible to do anything to Your Majesty, and it is impossible to ask Your Majesty for justice because of the death of his subordinates. However, Cai Zhongman mentioned another thing, that is, the real purpose of His Majesty's trip to the west. ”
"Just as Cheng Gong Shicai said, if His Majesty wants to force the Ma family workshop to move to Chang'an, it is impossible for anyone else to accept such an order except for me and Cheng Gong - even Cheng Gong himself, who is also a little unwilling, but just obeys the king's order - Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan were naturally very surprised when they heard the news. They think they are Renjie's private individuals, and it is conceivable what they will think at this time. ”
"Coupled with Cai Zhongman's clever tongue, under some encouragement, the two Gao Gu were determined to prevent Your Majesty from doing such a thing, and did not allow Your Majesty to take advantage of Renjie's time in Mobei to move the Ma family's workshop to Chang'an City."
"Before, His Majesty secretly ordered the Shuofang Army to take over Tingzhou City, and the two killers were already extremely angry about the killing of the Beiting Army Ma Ge who dared to resist, and the fact that His Majesty was ready to move the Ma family workshop to Chang'an was known to them, and the second general was bewitched by Cai Zhongman, and decided to gamble his life to be a national soldier to repay Renjie's kindness. It was an alliance between the three of them and they made a big rebellious decision together, that is, before Renjie returned to Tingzhou, His Majesty would not be allowed to leave Tingzhou for half a step. ”
The two imprisoned His Majesty in Tingzhou, and then sent a messenger to Mobei to inform Renjie at this time, and asked Renjie to return to the division to solve the matter earlier. Renjie is in Mobei, and I am in charge of the overall situation, and the two of them don't send anyone to Anxi to report this matter to me, so they naturally know my character. And these are the facts that I sent people to Tingzhou to find out after hearing the news of the mutiny. Gao Gu and the others thought that they could hide it, but when they besieged His Majesty's residence that day, there were one or two hundred soldiers involved, and these people had all seen His Majesty, so many people participated in the secret, so for those who had a heart, it was naturally not a secret. However, at that time, I only knew that Cai Zhongman instigated the second general to imprison the Son of Heaven, but I didn't know about Cai Zhongman's collusion with the Persians, I just thought that Cai Zhongman was dissatisfied after knowing the truth and wanted to keep the Ma family workshop for Qixi. ”
Duan Xiushi listened silently, and could no longer find words to refute. In fact, at this time, he probably understood that what Dr. Feng said was the truth.
But so far, what Dr. Feng said has nothing to do with Renjie's rebellion. He and this old friend traveled together in the bitter cold Mobei grassland for several months, spending every day on horseback, destroying Gele Khan Le Shi Jigong, Tu Tiele Nine Bloody Killing Thousands of Miles, everything is extremely normal, I really can't understand why Doctor Feng wants to accuse Renjie of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion.
Feng Changqing continued: "The sky in the west is wide and the sky is wide, and it will take more than ten days to transmit the news from Tingzhou to Anxi at the earliest, and when I found out the truth about the Tingzhou mutiny, it had actually been a month since the incident. And I am in Anxi, and it took some time for my subordinates to spread the news to me, and at that time I calculated, it is estimated that the envoys of the two have already arrived in Mobei, or it won't be long before Renjie will know what happened here. ”
"At that time, His Majesty had become a loner in Tingzhou, although the second general Gao Gu did not dare to embarrass His Majesty, and there were people to take care of his diet and daily life, but this gang of killers was extremely ruthless, and the guards around His Majesty wanted to leave Tingzhou City several times to report the news, but they were all shot by the two of their subordinates, and even the famous General Gao, how powerful the characters, died under the Yuan Rong crossbow when they wanted to leave!"
"At that time, I knew the news, and I was extremely angry, but the matter has been more than a month, I thought that the army sent troops to release horses in Mobei, and it was precisely the need for my side to fully support, at this time, Qixi could not mess with itself, so I did not come to Tingzhou to deal with this matter. I thought at the time, this is the end of the matter, anyway, Renjie will get the news soon, let Renjie come back to deal with this gang of killers himself. The second general imprisoned His Majesty mainly for Renjie, as long as Renjie came back, the Son of Heaven would naturally be safe, and the second general wanted to become a national soldier, so he would ask for benevolence and ask His Majesty with his life. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Changqing's face showed a look of pain, and he shook his head and said, "At that time, I just thought that this was already the case, so let Your Majesty be wronged for a few days, and let Renjie handle this matter himself." At that time, I also considered that if I dealt with this matter, Renjie would inevitably be condemned by His Majesty after he returned, and let Renjie handle this matter himself, disposing of Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin, the two killers, to show loyalty to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty may not blame Renjie. Where did you think of ...... Where did you think that after Renjie returned to his teacher, His Majesty would die! Ma Renjie...... He dared to kill the king! If I had brought someone over to settle this matter at that time, how could Your Majesty have died, and how would Ma Renjie have become a chaotic minister and thief? ”
Feng Changqing's face trembled, and he looked extremely painful and regretful. It was not that there were no available troops under his command that day, after all, the main force of the Northern Expedition was the Anxi New Army and the Beiting Third Army, and the garrisons of the four towns of Anxi were not used, plus there were two or three thousand newly trained Yuan Rong crossbowmen, and there was no problem in quelling the Tingzhou Rebellion. He trusted Ma Renjie very much, and wanted to fulfill Ma Renjie's loyalty, so he didn't take action to suppress this matter, where did he think that it would be today's situation in the end.
What the doctor said...... Xiushi already believed it. However, these are not the evidence of Renjie's murder and rebellion. What the doctor said...... Xiushi didn't see the slightest sign of Renjie killing the monarch or rebelling. Does the doctor have any other evidence? Duan Xiushi saw that Feng Changqing was silent, and after pondering for a long time, he frowned and asked. (To be continued......)
