Chapter 124: Rearmament of the Army
Hearing this, Bu Yiyang rolled his huge eyes, lowered his voice and scolded,
"Now you really dare to say anything!"
Tang Xuanlin smiled warmly, as if what Bu Tong said just now was a compliment or something like that, and even in line with a sentence,
"But the Sacred Heart is unfathomable."
Bu Yiyang smacked his lips helplessly, fiddling with the wide hem of his clothes with some disgust, "There are more unpredictable ones." ”
A big "? ”
Bu Yiyang spread his hands and said very incrediblely,
"Today, I saw that the Third Highness actually entered the hall, and His Majesty seems to value his opinion very much, even if he does not speak, he will ask a few words from time to time."
"What?" Bu Tong's eyes widened instantly, "Mu Hewen? ”
Tang Xuanlin nodded,
"It's really strange, His Royal Highness has never paid attention to the political situation, and now the war in the northwest is a major event that the whole country is most concerned about, and His Royal Highness went to the palace to ask for peace, and His Majesty actually sent him to ask for peace with the queen, and there is no intention of summoning him."
Bu Tong was really surprised,
"No more summonses? Wasn't the Fourth Highness driven away? Your Majesty wanted to deliberately snub him in front of everyone, so in the end you discussed it like this? ”
The two nodded in unison.
Bu Tong sighed and went,
"I think Your Majesty is really a little confused, although these three highnesses have been stationed in the northwest for many years, they are only good at arranging troops such as conquests, how to know how to transfer troops and send generals."
Bu Yiyang himself had some opinions about Mu Hewen because of the previous events, and then responded,
"What are you talking about, how to form a formation? Who is in command? How does grain and grass work? How much does the household allocate for military salaries...... This His Royal Highness really doesn't know anything, but His Majesty just made a heavy attitude, so that everyone couldn't figure it out for a while. ”
Bu Tong looked at Tang Xuanlin,
"Xuanlin, you have been getting closer to Your Majesty in the day, I think you know what Your Majesty means better than us, but what other ideas do you have?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Xuanlin also shook his head,
"Recently, Kyoto has been peaceful, and I haven't been to visit it often, and this northwest war, Dongchang can't help anything, Your Majesty naturally won't say much to me, but the matter is probably not complicated, but Your Majesty saw the four princes, who are not affectionate, suddenly emerged, and I am afraid that some of them will not be able to control it, so I want to support another adult prince to stabilize it."
Bu Yiyang nodded again and again, "It's very reasonable, but there is no other possibility, there is no shortage of smart and capable young generals in Kyoto City." ”
Butong was speechless for a moment,
"Why bother? The Fourth Highness is not such a pampered and arrogant person who disregards the imperial power, so now His Majesty wants to re-divide the military power and hand over Mu Hewen and his men to the northwest to face the battle? ”
This was originally a joke used to ridicule in desperation, but Bu Yiyang actually nodded and smiled bitterly a little heavily,
"You can guess accurately, now the border army of the Northern Princes and Generals is gathered, a total of 300,000 horses, divided into three, the Northern Kingdom Duke led the troops to guard Kyoto City, and the generals were the commanders, and the three princes Mu Hewen led a total of 200,000 horses and went to the northwest together."
Bu Tong twisted his eyebrows,
"Your Majesty has the intention to make the appearance of trusting the Third Highness, but he has only one lieutenant general, but he has 100,000 horses under his name?"
Tang Xuanlin said in a deep voice,
"It doesn't seem to have changed much, but in fact, it has weakened the military power of the Northern Kingdom Duke and the generals of Lie, even if Mu Hewen can't drive these horses, they will only be used by His Majesty."
Bu Tong scratched his head,
"Although our majesty has been in poor health for a long time, his brain is still good."
With such an operation openly and secretly, the two generals in charge of the military in Kyoto City were weakened.
But Mu Hewen did not take over the real power, and it was just an ornament.
But is this the plan of the Lie Zhan Tiger? snatch some more military power from the Duke of Beiguo, so that he and Mu Hewen will naturally dominate the family.
It's not a bad idea.
"It's not a bad thing," Bu Yiyang suddenly spoke, "The matter of decentralization is led by the Ministry of War, in the past, the court was originally heavy on literature and light on military force, since the Zhenguo Gong and the Military Department have fallen one after another, and now the only ones who can hold it are the Beiguo Gong and the generals, besides, these two have passed the age of not being confused, and they can still fight for a few years, so it is better to take the opportunity to cultivate young juniors." ”
Bu Yiyang looked at Bu Tong and Tang Xuanlin with strange looks, and hurriedly explained,
"I'm not for that Mu Hewen, since he was seen through playing tricks in front of his father and mother, I don't have a good impression of this person at all, I'm not for the left bank and Yunfang, these two people under General Lie are definitely not covered, they are really good generals, but there is no foundation and no one to recommend, maybe I will push it, they will go up, and make a contribution, then Yunfang can ask to marry Princess Rongping."
Butong blinked his eyes,
"Brother thought things too simply, but in the end, he didn't expect that His Majesty listened to your suggestion, but did not use the people you recommended."
Bu Yiyang smiled "hehe", his face was full of melancholy, "It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't want General Lie to dominate the party, but there is still a long time, and there will always be a chance." ”
I still see it very clearly.
Tang Xuanlin nodded,
"Most likely, but in three or five days of preparation, the army will set off."
Bu Tong remembered a day in his heart, but fortunately, it was not this time, so he also nodded,
"In this way, the Third Highness who finally stayed in Kyoto City has to leave again?"
Tang Xuanlin's eyebrows sank,
"It's just that this time I go, but I am the main general, I am afraid that if the class teacher returns to the dynasty in the future, the people will love this prince."
Bu Yiyang pursed his lips, "But forget it, our generals have made countless contributions, and they were not easily framed?" What is the use of a good general, in the court of our majesty, it is the most useless existence. ”
Tang Xuanlin saw that he was too negative,
"Brother Yiyang doesn't have to be like this, Your Majesty values these soldiers who have been protecting the safety of the country all the year round, but the matter of the generals in the front line is really chilling, and now the traitors have been punished, and the generals are still reused."
Bu Tong looked at the two of them, shrugged his shoulders and prepared to stop for a while,
"That's it, let's do this first, you go to the table, and I'm going to look for my sister-in-law."
Tang Xuanlin followed Bu Yiyang and turned around and walked two steps before turning back,
"Tong'er, I heard that my sister-in-law has been in bad health recently, but there are a few good medical officers in Dongchang, so it's better to bring them over to take a look."
Bu Tong smiled,
"There is no need for such a unit, my sister-in-law is just very worried and scared when she is pregnant for the first time, and when I look back, Sister Yao gave birth to Lin'er smoothly, and my sister-in-law will be relieved when she sees it, and it is not good to see the doctor take decoction all day long."
"Speaking of the four imperial concubines, I heard that the queen mother sent a female official from her side to the Four Princes' Mansion as a concubine on the grounds that the imperial concubine's sister-in-law was pregnant and inconvenient to serve the Fourth Highness," Tang Xuanlin's eyes flickered,
"The female officials in the palace, I have seen a lot of competition for favor and profit, and my thoughts are the deepest, the imperial concubine and sister-in-law are simple and kind, I am a little worried, but now it is really inconvenient to enter and exit the Four Princes' Mansion, and I have to trouble Tong'er to go to see my sister-in-law more."
"And such a thing?" Butong felt that he was constantly frightened this night,
"I haven't heard any news at all, no wonder Sister Yao didn't attend today, I'm afraid that this is unwell, most of it is because I feel uncomfortable."
Tang Xuanlin gave his hand seriously,
"The queen's matter is carried out in secret, or Suzaku Tan heard it, saying that the woman entered the mansion in a small carriage, and this matter will trouble the county lord's mother."
Bu Tong didn't want to be surprised anymore,
"I'm afraid that the queen is also worried that her actions will be criticized by others, so she deliberately lowered her profile."
Tang Xuanlin nodded in agreement, then turned around and left with Yi Yang.
Bu Tong stood in place and watched the figures of the two people leaving, and suddenly felt that everything was out of control.
This feeling is very unsettling.
……
At the end of the night banquet, Bu Tong was helping Bai Peony to get into the carriage, and suddenly a Shi Qing rushed behind him, "County Lord Niangniang, my fourth imperial concubine wants me to bring you a message, she recently learned peach blossom crisp, and her skills are not bad, I want to invite you to sit in the house and taste it." ”
Bu Tong felt the arm in his hand suddenly tremble, and hurriedly admonished,
"Sister-in-law, be careful, Chun Tao, come and help the young lady don't knock."
After that, he looked back at Shi Qing,
"I was also going to go, but I want to meet His Highness's new wife, in vain I thought that His Royal Highness was kind, so I didn't even mention a word, maybe because Bu Tong can't speak, and I can't say a congratulatory word, but I will also avoid the important and light."
It was rare for Shi Qing not to reply to Bu Tongming's sarcasm, but accepted it all a little abruptly, lowered his head, and repeated softly, "The villain went back to call Niangniang and said that the county lord agreed." ”
Bu Tong saw that he was leaving, and he didn't say anything, just when he got into the car, he saw a carriage parked on the side, Shi Qing jumped up, the side curtains of the carriage were lifted, Mu Hesheng looked at Bu Tong with a smile,
"It seems that I still made the county lord unhappy in the end, but there are many things that I can't help myself, Yao'er understands."
Now that Bu Tong doesn't understand this, but thinking that Mu Hesheng categorically doesn't want to wronged Ji Yao, the queen's mind is still just speculation, and she is not categorical, so she has to be helpless.
"That's it, I shouldn't have taken care of it, Your Highness still pays attention to Sister Gu Yao, her body is too heavy now, the child must not be small, and she should not be taken lightly."
Mu Hesheng nodded,
"Okay, I made a note of it, Wen Po and the medical woman will be entering the house in the next two days, and they will definitely not let Yao'er have anything to do."
Butong nodded,
"I'm going to visit tomorrow, I'm going to be disturbed."
Mu Hesheng smiled, "Ah Tong is the most casual and free person, and at this time, I still need to be disturbed by the county lord's mother." ”
