Chapter 164: Determining the State of Affairs
"Your Majesty" Shen recruited into the hall to give a salute!
"Speak"
"General Zhang Liao has arrived outside the city"
"Oh, this is going into town?"
"Not yet, General Zhang Liao and a few entourages are ready to enter the city, but according to the people sent out, in fact, General Zhang Liao is not bringing 2,000 elite soldiers!"
"How much is that?"
"Nearly 20,000 people"
"What?! Is he Zhang Liao preparing to rebel? ”
Emperor Xuan was stunned! Some dissatisfied asked!
Shen Zhao bowed his head and didn't answer!
"Didn't you say at the beginning that when he set off with Zhang Liao, he brought a few entourages, and then didn't he follow with 2,000 people? How did this get to the gate of the capital and become 20,000? Where did this extra person come from? ”
"Wechen don't know"
"I don't know, that's what you should have known for a long time! Such a big mistake! Don't know yet!? ”
Emperor Xuan reproached with some annoyance!
"Please forgive your majesty! At the beginning, it was indeed 2,000 people who came to report, but then they were afraid of being found suspicious, so they didn't follow! It wasn't until on the main road near the capital that the people who checked it were arranged, and Weichen received a report just now! Wechen really doesn't know what's going on here! If it really is so many people who follow all the way, it is bound to attract attention! Therefore, Wei Chen thought, these 20,000 people must not have come from the northwest military camp, but must have been picked up somewhere near the capital! ”
Shen Zhao said seriously about his own highlights!
Emperor Xuan rolled his eyes and thought while listening, and felt that what Shen Zhao said was also quite reasonable!
"Well, maybe so! Otherwise, this Zhang Liao would not have acted so rashly! ”
Emperor Xuan paused for a few seconds after speaking, pondered for a moment and said:
"Send someone to check carefully, where did this extra person come from? Look at how many other unknown things he Zhang Liao has? What do you want to do with so many people stationed outside the capital? I will not allow anyone to use their forces without permission! Take control of the troops! Hidden Army! ”
"Yes"
"When Zhang Liao enters the city tonight, he will definitely discuss things with his eyeliner in the city, so be sure to send someone to keep an eye on it to see who is dealing with Zhang Liao? Of course, it's not just tonight, these days must be watched! ”
"Yes"
"Zhang Liao will enter the palace tomorrow, be sure to take all kinds of precautions! Zhang Guifei, don't tell me first! After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he tilted his head and gestured to Li Qin.
"Yes"
"I'm afraid that if I don't tell her, Concubine Zhang will already know!"
Emperor Xuan still muttered to himself a little helplessly.
......
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, from now on, Wang Meng will take over the post of remote general! ......”
The Qi Heng people who came with Wang Meng read out the holy decree, and the generals who knelt on the ground to receive the decree below were all full of doubts! Those who follow Zhang Liao are naturally not convinced!
"The general has only been gone for a few days, and you are here to succeed you?! Are you tired of staying in the capital and running to this border to spread wild! ....”
A general stepped forward and stared at Wang Meng and shouted! Fortunately, the two who came with Wang Meng blocked Wang Meng in time!
"That's it, what kind of green onion are you! Dare to come here to go wild! When we followed the general to kill the enemy, you kid was still fucking in the capital! This kid is going to come here! What qualifications do you have!? ”
"That's right! It's up to you! I'm afraid that few of these three armies followed! ”
"Don't think you've followed Your Majesty to war before! That was before! The general here can only be surnamed Zhang! The others don't deserve it at all, get out of here! ”
"Hurry back to the capital and go to retire......"
"Get out!"
“......”
There was a commotion and angry scolding!
"Alright, alright! Dear generals! Please listen to Ben General's words, "Sun Zhi, one of the generals who went to pick up Wang Meng, saw that their venting had reached a certain time, so he stretched out his arm and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet first!"
"This general is also the care of General Zhang, who has followed the general for many years, and of course the mood is the same as everyone when he encounters such a sudden change of commander! Unacceptable! But this one has His Majesty's decree! The second general has returned to Beijing! If something goes wrong because of this! That is disobedience to the Holy Decree! It is also a shame for General Zhang! How could General Zhang's subordinate generals resist and disobey the order! What about those who do not obey commands? ....”
"You're talking light! Sun Zhi! You traitor! Didn't you and Xun Wei recruit them just now? Let's see how the general comes back and cleans you up! ”
"That is, I was not favored by the general in the first place, and I took refuge in others in an instant! What face is roaring here! ”
"It's just..."
"I'm not favored by the general! But the general didn't blame me, did he!? I'm loyal to the general, isn't it!? So all the generals here, we are all the same people, don't divide each other at this time! I just don't want to create a disadvantageous situation for the generals who have already entered the capital because of this! If His Majesty knew what was going on here, would he be merciful to the Great General? At that time, the general will be in trouble, can you and I get better?! ”
His words shifted the danger to the generals they swore to follow, which naturally eased a lot, after all, the position of the generals in these people's hearts is still very important, and they can't bear to hurt the generals, of course, they are also worried about what will happen to them!
"Let's settle down here now, so that the general can settle down in the capital! Don't you think this is Your Majesty testing us? All these years, we have been following the general here, far away from the capital, and it is inevitable that some suspicions will not be aroused! If that's the case, at this time, we don't care about our own selfishness and happiness, and make things bigger! Isn't that even more sure that we don't listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, but only listen to the general's orders! If this is the case, can you still tolerate the generals who are already in the capital? If you think you can do it, then you have done it! At that time, I am afraid that not only the general, but also your and mine's lives will be worried! ”
Several of Zhang Liao's henchmen and generals looked at each other, pondered for a while, and felt that what they said was a little reasonable, so they bowed their heads and remained silent!
"Therefore, we must now follow the holy decree and listen to General Wang's arrangement, so as to live up to General Zhang's many years of care for you!"
Several generals just rolled their eyes and thought about Sun Zhi's words, and felt that what they said was not unreasonable! After all, this is His Majesty's holy decree, after all, the general is already in the capital!
....
"Wu Lin and his son Wu Zhen met General Wang"
Wu Lin and Wu Zhen walked into Wang Meng's camp and saluted heavily!
"Old general, please get up! Hurry up, please! ”
Wang Meng hurriedly left his seat and stepped forward to help Wu Lin and his son, and motioned for them to sit aside.
"General Wu is really a hero! This has been in this northwest frontier for four years, and he is still with General Wu Zhen, what a tiger father without a dog! ”
Wang Meng complimented!
"The general smiled! Our father and son are just eating here! This town guarding the border is thanks to General Zhang and the generals! ”
"Yes, General Zhang is indeed capable, and in the past few years, he has repelled the invasion of the Tatars and Tuliangha many times, so that this place can be stable! General Zhang can be regarded as a tribute to the court and the people, and his contribution is indispensable! It is really rare to think about the stability of Daxuan and the stability of the people's lives! After Wang Meng finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and asked:
"I heard that General Zhang Da lives a very restrained life on weekdays, not only strictly restraining himself, but also restraining the soldiers, not wasting food, not encroaching on anything from the people, eating is also the most ordinary food, and he is reluctant to throw away his clothes when he is very old! It's really rare to think so wholeheartedly for our sake! ”
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Lin and then at Wu Zhen, and the two of them seemed to be sitting there helplessly, without the slightest expression of affirmation on their faces!
Seeing that they didn't speak, Wang Meng diverted the topic and said:
"The general not only loves the people on this border and restrains himself, but also regularly advises the officials in the capital to do more things that are beneficial to Daxuan! Oh! There is a brother here, there must be a sister! General Zhang is upright and resolute! The same is true for the concubine! If there is any concubine in the palace who is unruly, she will not be forgiven! Daxuan has such a person, what a blessing! ......”
"General, General~~" Qi Huan next to Wang Meng deliberately reminded him quietly and shouted twice!
"What's wrong? Oh! When I saw General Wu's father and son, I felt very cordial, and I said a bit too much! Please forgive me, the old general! ”
Wang Meng deliberately bowed his hand!
"How dare you! It's just ....." Wu Lin seemed a little embarrassed!
"Oh, old general, what's so difficult about this, or let me ask for you? Maybe you still don't believe what I said, but you may understand after listening to General Wang! ”
Sun Zhi hurriedly took over the conversation, and after finishing speaking, asked Wang Meng:
"General, I received a letter from a friend in the capital a few days ago, saying that Concubine Chen Niangniang was beaten into the cold palace! I felt very sad, and felt that I had to let General Wu know about this, so I said it, but General Wu was also skeptical, you are a general personally sent by His Majesty, and your words must have weight! Tell me about General Wu's father and son, what's wrong with Concubine Chen? ”
"This .....," Wang Meng suddenly felt a little embarrassed!
"General, but it doesn't hurt to say it! We father and son just want to know the truth! ”
"Well, I'll just say that! But I think this is an injustice to Concubine Chen! But Zhang Guifei is dominant, this is what the concubine is sure of, who dares to refute it, not to mention that His Majesty was still present at the time! ....”
"General, please!"
Wu Lin seems to be a little unable to wait!
"Concubine Chen Niangniang has indeed been beaten into the cold palace! It's been almost two months! ”
"What?!" Wu Lin leaned over, a little unstable!
"Daddy!" Wu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Lin!
"Old general, take care, your body is important!" Wang meng!
"Why the hell is that?"
Wu Lin almost squeezed out this sentence!
"I heard that it was Concubine Chen who wanted to poison the third prince who just wanted to come! Please ask the master of the Guoqing Temple to practice in the Five Emperors! I want to go through that wall and hurt the three princes unconsciously! I didn't expect to be touched by His Majesty! Although it did not hurt the three princes, this kind of thing of causing witches to hurt the prince in the palace is the most taboo thing for His Majesty! How can you forgive! I heard that Concubine Chen was originally going to be executed, but it was the queen who pleaded for mercy, so His Majesty left Concubine Chen's life and only went to the cold palace! ”
"Zhang Liao! Guru! Zhang Guifei! .....”
Wu Lin seemed to be hating and shouting these three names! Clench your fists! Because he knows it best in his heart! He knows the origin of the master, and he knows even more about the behavior of Zhang Liao and Zhang Guifei at this time!
