Chapter 375: Left and Right
When Yi Feng got up early in the morning, he found that there was already a thick layer of snow outside.
Hongfu had already dressed up neatly and finished dressing and makeup, and personally brought hot water for Yi Feng to comb his hair and change clothes. Since that day, when Red Whisk rushed to the rescue with a sword, and looked like a Valkyrie on the long street, she really made Yi Feng very fond of her. After returning from the palace, he stayed in her house that night, and even when he traveled, he had to take her with him. Compared with Chen Wan, Xiao Sumei, and Li Liyi, Hongfu naturally has no noble background, but in Yang Su's mansion for many years, he has also experienced good teaching, as the so-called hall and kitchen, and the bed is wasteful, the sword is played, and the person is smart, it is simply a lover, secretary, assistant, and bodyguard, not to mention that he is so loyal, it is difficult to think of being favored.
After washing, Wei Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Mingzhen, Wu Guangde, Li Wenxiang, Xiao Milling, Wu Shi Tong seven teenagers came to ask for peace together, and now there are ten disciples under Yi Feng's name, in addition to the seven who follow him, there are Xu Shiji, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang Three, but because the three are only a few years old hairy children, so they all stay in Huaihuang, although Yu Chigong is only a teenager, but they are also strong and healthy, far beyond the average child of the same age, Yi Feng has been with him to sharpen and teach, Nowadays, all of them have the taste of several famous teachers and apprentices. Xiao Mo and Wu Shi Tong are also very easy to enter the eyes of the law, and in the end they were also included in the door, but the disciples under the Yi Feng sect are not ranked according to age, but always according to the order of worship, so although Wu Shi Tong is the oldest of the ten disciples, he has to be the last one in terms of seniority.
As usual, Yi Feng first asked each disciple how he felt about reading, and then checked some of the homework he had assigned earlier. Then he took them together in the martial arts arena to fight Tai Chi first and warm up behind him. He instructed them to shoot arrows, and first they stepped down and opened their bows. Then there is the longbow shooting, sixty steps, eighty steps, one hundred steps, one hundred and twenty steps, one hundred and fifty steps, and five targets at different distances each shoot ten arrows. Then they took out their horses, walked them around, then rode and shot them, and finally they stabbed the wooden man with a lance, cut the stakes and scarecrows with a knife, and finally shot at the moving target. In the end, he came to a group with all the disciples and immediately confronted him.
After such a morning exercise, an hour has passed. Yi Feng was sweating. After dismounting and shouting to disband, the ten disciples saluted together, and then turned over again with a shout of joy and rode out again. It is always not enjoyable to practice with Yi Feng for an hour every morning, and they prefer to go out of the city to run a lap of horses in the southern suburbs after the morning training with Yi Feng every day.
At this time, Hongfu came forward to serve Yi Feng to take a bath, and Yi Feng always took a cold shower instead of taking a hot bath after morning exercises, which was the same habit as the guards. Yi Feng also enjoyed the habit of taking a cold shower after morning exercise, and a bucket of cold water with ice cubes was washed on his body, and the whole person instantly became energetic, and the cells in his whole body seemed to be active. It can keep you energized throughout the day. In Huaihuang, the flag guards wiped their bodies directly with snow in the morning, wiping their entire skin red. Li Liyi and Xiao Sumei were frightened when they saw Yi Feng acting like this at first. Beware of fear. It was Chen Wan who explained to them for Yi Feng that in the Khitan, the warriors of those tribes. This is often done as well. Especially for the boys in the tribe, from the age of three, they have to wipe their bodies with snow every winter. In this way, the boys' bodies are exercised. Of course, there is a gradual process to this. For example, children are used to taking cold showers, and in winter, before wiping themselves with snow, they must also warm up first, and they have to wipe themselves with cold water first.
Although Yi Feng takes a cold shower every morning after his morning exercise, in fact this is only part of his workout, and every night, he takes a hot shower.
After rushing through a refreshing cold shower and changing her clothes, Chen Wan had already ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast. In most families, especially those in large families, in fact, most of the meals are eaten separately. Even if you have an occasional dinner, it is a separate dining system. However, Yi Feng still prefers to eat as a family around a table, which is lively and has an atmosphere. Especially in the morning, if there are no accidents, the whole family will sit around and eat together.
By the time breakfast was ready, the family had already arrived, and it was only bright at this time, but it was five o'clock in the morning, around 6:15 in the morning. Breakfast is used in a special side hall, this is a small family dining room specially arranged by Yi Feng, the dining table is not the round table of the Eight Immortals in later generations, but a rectangular table, somewhat similar to the dining table of Western nobles, Yi Feng and Li Liyi are separated from the upper and lower sides of this long dining table, and the other concubines in the Taisun Mansion are on the left and right. The dining table is not too big, there are one person on the top and bottom, and three people on the left and right, if you are in Huaihuang, this table is definitely not enough. But in Daxing City, in this Taisun Mansion, the hosts are Taisun Yifeng and Taisun Concubine Li Liyi, and there are also three Taisun concubines Chen Wan, Xiao Sumei and the new Hongfu who entered the mansion. It's not that Yi Feng doesn't want her to dine together, nor does she avoid it, but the main thing is that she doesn't want to disturb Yi Feng's alone time with his wife and concubines. Except when there are guests, Princess Lechang will not come to dine together, and although Yu Chigong and the others are Yi Feng's disciples and have the name of an adopted son, if there are no other guests, then they will not dine together.
In the small dining room, there are usually five wives and concubines on the long table, originally there were only four, but now a red whisk has been added.
Breakfast is also very rich, there are fresh freshly cooked milk, corn porridge and other light food, the chef in the house is good, it was originally the palace kitchen, and often get some novel food recipes and some peculiar cooking methods proposed by Yi Feng, so the breakfast in the house is not heavy every day, and all are both beautiful and delicious.
With Yi Feng here, the traditional table manners can basically no longer be maintained. Yi Feng has a lot of daily affairs, either going out or serving in the study, so he rarely has the opportunity to talk and chat with the women in the house. The common mealtime every day is for Yi Feng. It's a rare time to communicate. At first, Li Liyi was a little uncomfortable with this way of dining, but she quickly got used to it. When eating. From time to time, everyone will come up with something new, even if it's a breakfast. It usually takes at least half an hour. I didn't eat much, but I talked a lot.
The topic of today's breakfast conversation is not surprising is the matter of Yi Feng's departure from Beijing, Li Liyi reported to Yi Feng which family in Beijing sent which gifts, etc., which family wants to send their children to follow their grandson to the north, etc., are all trivial things, Yi Feng listened while listening, for these little things, let Li Liyi, the hostess, decide. Then Chen Wan began to talk about packing up and taking people with her in the house. What things to bring on the road, how many cars and horses, etc. Because of the emperor's will, Li Liyi wanted to stay in Beijing and did not follow back to Hebei, while Xiao Sumei wanted to stay this time because she was pregnant. Jingshi's wife and three concubines, only Chen Wan and Hongfu left together.
Xiao Sumei mentioned to him that Princess Jin and Concubine Chen of Jin came together yesterday and brought many gifts and so on. Yi Feng didn't pay much attention to this matter, and yesterday he went to the Jin Palace's mansion to see Yang Guang in person. However, Yang Guang said that he was sick and did not see the guests, so he only asked the housekeeper to entertain the guests and sent them off. Yi Feng didn't really think much about this, he knew that Yang Guang's reaction at this time showed that he attached great importance to his relationship. At this time, Yang Guang needs himself. He didn't see any guests, just to avoid suspicion. As for Xiao bringing Chen to the mansion as a guest, it is normal. That Chen is actually Chen Wan's sister. Xiao brought Chen to the door, which can be regarded as lady diplomacy. Obviously, I came to see Chen Wan and Xiao Sumei, but the ultimate goal was to run for myself. Speaking of this Xiao Meiniang. Yi Feng really didn't have a good impression of her before, and felt that this woman couldn't tolerate herself at all.
But now, he has changed a little, this woman is actually Yang Guang's virtuous helper, Yang Guang can go all the way to today, and he has today's shape, which can be said to be inseparable from her help. This time Yang Guang was hit hard, and this woman was also very smart to know the role of Yang Guang's illegitimate son on Yang Guang now, so even if she still didn't want to see him in her heart, it was really not easy to take the initiative to come to the house at this time.
However, after a trip from the Jin Palace, Yi Feng already had a tacit understanding with Yang Guang.
At this time, the two of them came closer again. The counterattack of the prince's party made the two people who were gradually estranged because of the establishment of the grandson, and they got closer together. Because of the common adversary, two potential adversaries had to join forces at this time.
Yi Feng nodded from time to time while listening to the reports of several beauties there.
"The date of leaving Beijing has been determined, according to the original date, I will leave Beijing tomorrow."
Leaving Beijing tomorrow was originally the original plan, and tomorrow was not only Yi Feng's departure from Beijing, but also the departure date of the generals of the Northern Expedition. However, there was a temporary encounter with the grandson, and then the king of Jin was involved, and finally the prince replaced Yang Guang as the handsome, and the situation changed, which can be described as a great change. But even if so many things happened, the emperor still did not change the date of the generals leaving Beijing, and even the emperor issued an order yesterday that the kings would officially leave Beijing tomorrow. Except for Yang Guang, the new governor of the state, who is not allowed to leave Beijing for the time being, and the king of Hejian acts as the governor of the state, the other four kings will directly leave Beijing to take office, and the emperor has specially decreed that the kings do not need to return to the original domain, but will go directly to the new domain to take office.
Now the situation in the entire capital is like chaos, Yi Feng is really worried that if there is chaos and chaos, there will be new chaos, and if something happens, maybe there will be new changes. What he feared most was that he would be bound in Beijing and not allowed to return to Hebei. The current situation is the most optimistic situation for Yi Feng, the princeling party and the Jin Wang party have repeatedly exchanged fierce fire, it can be said that each has its own victory and defeat, and there are mutual damages, the prince's party has lost Wang Shiji and other three Shangzhu countries, and Yang Guang has also lost a lot of money, Hebei's state capitals have been lost, Yan Rong and other several Hebei governors, thorn history fell, and Hebei has been operating for several years. Originally, Yang Guang exchanged the loss of Hebei for the execution of the three princelings of the Shangzhu State, and Gao Gong had stepped down, which was regarded as a self-loss of 800 and a killing of 3,000 enemies, which was earned. But in the blink of an eye, a stabbing case, Gao Gong returned to power, and the prince replaced Yang Guang's handsome position, and Yang Guang lost a lot.
In short, the two sides come and go, kill and cut, and the losses are not small. Only Yi Feng, in these rounds of fighting, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and took millet from the fire, which can be regarded as a fisherman's profit.
Today's shape shì, on the contrary, the prince and Gao Gong had the last laugh, and Yang Guang fell into a temporary confinement in the Jingshi Palace. In the end, there was a five-king reversal. The base camp that had been operating in Huainan for nearly ten years was suddenly replaced by Yang Jun, the king of Qin. And he had just sent his son Yang Zhao to the position of the chief manager of Longyou in Jingxi. Now it has changed in a blink of an eye, and Yang Zhao has been transferred to Shuzhong. Stay away from Gyeonggi. Yangzhou and the state, speaking of Yangzhou is rich, but the state is higher in the country's political status, and the state has always been the place where the world's elite soldiers come out, the so-called essence of the world's soldiers and horses, and two cool and three secluded. Moreover, Bingzhou is the first in the north, and the mountains and rivers are victorious, especially for the Guanlongjing Division as the center, there is a great geographical advantage. It is a swooping trend, which is much stronger than Yangzhou in the far southeast. But this reversal made Yang Guang's years of operation in Yangzhou burn for a while, and it was not so easy to gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou. On the other hand, Yang Zhao, the king of Han, served as the governor of Qinzhou, and the capital of the state was in the west of Gyeonggi, which was the west gate of the Jingshi. It has great influence on Gyeonggi. But now he was transferred to Shuzhong all of a sudden, although the country of Tianfu in Shuzhong is a very wealthy place, but in terms of politics. It is also far inferior to the Qinju Mansion near Gyeonggi.
Yang Guang can now be said to have sunk into the sand, suffered a heavy blow, and the assassination case was not solved for a day. He couldn't leave Beijing for a day, let alone go to Bingzhou to take up his post. And even if the case is solved. But the commander of the Northern Expedition has long had nothing to do with him. I planned for so long, but in the end I got such a result. How can Yang Guang not be sad.
In Yi Feng's opinion, the assassination case is not so easy to solve, in fact, the assassination case is indeed in a predicament now, and after finding Yu Xiaoren, the clues are completely broken. For several days in a row, the joint review of the three yas has still not made any progress. Moreover, Yi Feng believes that the prince's party, which is now gaining power, will definitely not want to see the assassination case come to light immediately, regardless of whether Yang Guang is the mastermind of the assassination case or not, he believes that in fact, Gao Gong and they will definitely prefer to maintain the current situation. After all, if it is really investigated, there must only be two results, one result is that the assassination case is the mastermind of Yang Guang, which is naturally the best. But there is another possibility, the assassination was not the mastermind of Yang Guang, but someone else. For Gao Gong, it is best to find out that it is Yang Guang, but half of it may not be Yang Guang, so it is better to maintain the current situation. Although it was not investigated, Yang Guang, the suspect, was trapped here because of this, and he couldn't get out of this quagmire for half a step. This case must be investigated, but not right now, as long as it can be delayed for half a year, it will be cleared up by then, even if it is found out that it is not Yang Guang's mastermind, then it doesn't matter, and the Northern Expedition will be over by then. At that time, the crown prince will definitely be able to gain greater prestige by leading the Northern Expedition.
Yi Feng didn't believe that Yang Guang was the mastermind of the assassination case at all, and according to the opinion of who benefited from the assassination case, the biggest benefit of this assassination case was none other than the prince, and Gao Gong was also the beneficiary, and he was also counted as one. Ruled out the mastermind of the assassination himself, then the prince and Gao Gong are the most suspicious. With this case, the prince replaced Yang Guang in command of the Northern Expedition, and Gao Gong also successfully relied on this case to turn over and re-enter the center.
However, Yi Feng felt that the prince was unlikely to be the mastermind behind this assassination case, and the prince did not have that ability. And he is unlikely to be involved in it, the prince is the kind of person who is extremely incompetent, if he really participates in it, then now that this plan is successful, with the prince's character, he will definitely show more or less appearance, but with his careful observation in the past two days, he really didn't find the slightest abnormality from the prince. All he saw was schadenfreude. Therefore, after thinking about it, Yi Feng felt that the biggest suspicion should be Gao Gong, originally he thought that it was very likely to be Yang Liang, the king of Han. But now, Yang Liang, the king of Han, did not get any benefit at all in this assassination case, although Yang Guang was planted, Yang Yong benefited the most. Yang Liang not only did not get the benefits, but in the end, he was transferred from the general position of the state and transferred to the general position of the governor of Jingzhou. Although the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is known as the south gate of the country, in fact, Jingzhou Mansion is sandwiched between the three major governors of Yang, Yi and Qin, even if it guards the south gate of the Beijing Division, it is still not strong, especially the previous few governors are courtiers with foreign surnames, so Jingzhou's armed forces have always been the weakest, and even the strength of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion is far inferior. Yang Liang's reversal can be said to be the most disadvantaged.
Judging from this result alone, Yang Liang is not the mastermind behind this assassination case.
In Yi Feng's heart, he finally felt that Gao Gong was the most suspicious.
Gao Gong is the core of the princelings, and he certainly has the ability to plot and initiate such an assassination. And it is not necessarily that Gao Gong did it alone, or Gao Gong did it with other princelings, but he kept the prince in the dark. This speculation, Yi Feng felt very reasonable. Because of this, Yi Feng felt more and more that Jingshi was not a place to stay for a long time, and because of this, his strategy for Yang Guang changed greatly.
It turned out that he was between the prince and the king of Jin, and now, he is about to move away from the weak and the strong. In short, only by maintaining the strength of the two parties can Yi Feng have the opportunity to develop and strengthen himself.
"Why did the emperor want the five kings to switch up?" The only thing Yi Feng couldn't figure out was this. (To be continued......)
