Chapter VI The Great Discussion on Military Reform
Just more than a mile behind Lin Feng and them, two carriages with simple appearances but very particular details walked side by side, slowly rushing towards Miyagi.
In the carriage on the left, the privy deputy envoys Cha Wenhui and Wei Cen were facing each other and whispering.
"My Shanghu Yandong has been visiting Meishan for more than ten days, and he finally came back last night, saying that he basically found out the details of the place where Lin Feng trained his soldiers, and he also found that there was an iron-making blast furnace there, and it seems that Lin Feng made those strange knives there." Cha Wenhui said hatefully.
Hu Yandong was a martial arts master raised by Chafu, and he was ordered to investigate the reality of Lin Feng's military training, but he wandered around Meishan for many days, because the valley was heavily guarded, and there had been no progress. However, he who had been guarding nearby finally found that Lin Feng and his party had left the valley, and at noon the day before yesterday and yesterday morning, two groups of soldiers had been sent out of the valley, so they took advantage of the weakness to sneak into the valley, and immediately returned to report to Cha Wenhui after the investigation.
Previously, Cha Wenhui was a rare material with both civil and military skills in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was deeply respected by Emperor Li Jing. But as soon as Lin Feng appeared, the situation immediately changed, and the aspect of the text was completely stolen by Lin Feng with the strategy of transforming the country. And Cha Wenhui saw the devil strong soldiers trained by Lin Feng yesterday, he hated and feared even more in his heart, if Lin Feng was so proficient in this aspect of martial arts, he had never been the first in literature, and there was no second in martial arts, what else would he play in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future?
"Brother Guangshen, I've been thinking about this question all this time, why we haven't stopped Lin Feng's rise. After thinking about it, we found that even Song Gong, we have always underestimated him and despised him from the beginning! Wei Cen stroked his beard and said softly.
"That's true." Cha Wenhui was slightly stunned, shook his head helplessly and said. If the twenty professional assassins of Zhilu Dao couldn't kill Lin Feng, how could he not just send a master of the mansion to make a hasty move; If Lin Feng could still train his troops, he wouldn't let him get the inconspicuous-looking Zhaowu Captain smoothly no matter what. After all, these people have never really attached importance to Lin Feng in their hearts, and have always regarded him as a poor scholar who has no roots in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if they regarded him as the most threatening political opponent at the beginning, they would not be so passive.
"A careful review of all the actions of this person found that he was as cunning as a fox, and his actions were all planned and moved, and everything must be dealt with with caution!" Wei Cen also frowned and said hatefully.
"At this point, there is no point in regretting! Now, we can't be so passive anymore, and during this time, I have found that there are significantly fewer people coming to my house, these villains at both ends of the snake and rat! Cha Wenhui said hatefully.
It is no wonder that in the former Southern Tang Dynasty, the Song Party led by Taibao and Shangshu Ling Song Qiqiu can be described as extremely powerful, Wei and Cha, as the most favored privy deputy envoys by the emperor, can be regarded as the left and right arms of the Song Party, and they are naturally incomparable, but since Song Qiqiu was "ordered" to close the house, Wei and Cha have a shallow foundation after all, low prestige, and their own appeal is not strong, plus they are not very good now, and they are not enough to lead the overall situation of the Song Party.
"Or, you and I will mobilize the officials to play and let either Feng Yansi or Chen Jue come back? However, after Feng Zhengzhong came back this time, he completely closed his house, did not come to see us, and turned away our people who went to explore the wind, this is a bit too much to avoid suspicion, right? Wei Cen said with some hesitation. Although they are listed as the "Five Ghosts and Four Murderers" along with Chen Jue, Feng Yansi, and Feng Yanlu, they also have a lot of open and secret battles within the Song Party, and finally because of the defeat in the Battle of Fuzhou, these two unlucky people were sent to the place, and they actually didn't want them to come back in their hearts.
"You and I will discuss this matter later. Let's talk about the current situation first, from today onwards, everything Lin Feng says and does, you and I must seriously think about it and work together to plan countermeasures! Cha Wenhui gritted his teeth and said.
"By the way, I learned a few days ago that Lin Feng and King Zheng's kid are about to open, and if you want to invite the emperor and King Qi to be there, why don't we ......" Wei Cen leaned forward and whispered in Cha Wenhui's ear.
The court hall on this day is very lively, because the envoys from all over the country have returned to Beijing, and the courtiers who originally stood only one phalanx every day were divided into two phalanxes on the left and right, and the left side of the throne was the civil minister, and the right side was the military minister.
Standing in the circle of military ministers, the Fuzhou Jiedu made Feng Yansi have a faint smile on his face, and bowed his head respectfully to Li Jing, who was looking over, and Li Jing also smiled.
Feng Yansi returned to Beijing as a military general of the Fuzhou Jiedu envoy this time, which can be described as very low-key. This is Feng Yansi's strategy before he came, he was demoted from Beijing because of his crimes, and the court has changed a lot during this time, so he has to lower his body to observe carefully to know the depth. Therefore, after Feng Yansi returned to Beijing two days in advance, he closed his house and did not go out of his house, did not visit a person, nor did he meet a person.
It is precisely because of Feng Yansi's unusually low-key and modesty that he has aroused the favor of Li Jing, the former lord and literary friend. So, after yesterday's imperial banquet, Feng Yansi was specially named by Li Jing, who evoked his old feelings, and stayed in the palace.
When the two sat opposite each other in the imperial study, drinking tea and gossiping, Feng Yansi finally began to speak at length, expressing his appreciation and admiration for the Shengshang's leadership of the Tang Dynasty from different angles, and describing the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty in the future with the language of the sky, coaxing Li Jing and Longyan to be happy.
After that, the more they chatted, the happier they became, and the last one you and I chanted poems one by one, which was something that Feng Yansi often did as a secretary in charge and Li Jing, the prince at that time, in the East Palace. The water in the pot was renewed again and again, and in the swirling steam, the two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the good old days when the two of them were singing poetry together.
It wasn't until night fell that Feng Yansi went out of the palace and returned to the house, and immediately closed the door of the mansion again, and no one was seen.
On this day, there was not much content in the court, and the court was soon dispersed. A group of military ministers, led by eunuchs, walked to Hanliang Palace.
Hanliang Hall is located between the rockery and the pond in the northwest of Miyagi, surrounded by more than ten towering trees to shade, the hall seems relatively cool, but also should be the name of Hanliang.
When they arrived in the hall, Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui immediately found that the hall was arranged just like that day's debate match, Li Jing sat on the dragon chair at the back, the tables and chairs formed a square circle, and Li Jingqian, the marshal of soldiers and horses and the king of Qi, sat alone in the north; There was a card on the table in front of each seat with the names of the participants, and the order was still scrambled.
Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui glanced at each other, found their place and sat down calmly. Chen Jun, the secretary of the military department, Chen Qian, the secretary of the household department, and Lin Feng, the doctor of the main discussion, who had participated in the debate competition before, also immediately found their names and sat down.
Basically, everyone else saw this kind of battle for the first time, and after a little hesitation, they all found their names and sat down with some uneasiness, what does this mean? Especially Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of Shouzhou, felt particularly uneasy in his heart.
At this time, Li Jing, the king of Qi who was sitting on the main seat, spoke.
