Part 4 The Wind in the Strength Festival is in office
Higashiki woke up with a splitting headache. He didn't like the experience of being drunk as much as Feng Jinjie, and the headache of the hangover tortured him so much that he lay on the bed with weak hands and feet, and only knew how to wail and moan.
Feng Jinjie had already greeted the kitchen and asked for leave, and had been staying in front of his bed, handing tea and water, wiping sweat and wiping his body, and pouring him hangover soup. It was only after a long time that he was slightly better, barely able to get out of bed, and he swore again and again that he would never dare to drink like this again in his life, and wondered how Feng Jinjie could be so fond of the contents of the cup. Feng Jinjie mercilessly ridiculed him for drinking too little, which was not comparable.
Lu Dongli smiled bitterly for a while, staggered out of the room, looked at the sky, and said softly, "I'm leaving." ”
Feng Jinjie shrugged: "It's time to go, if you don't go back, your gang of men will die in a hurry, you are the Son of Heaven, and you have a holy life." ”
Lu Dongli turned his eyes to look at him and said in a low voice, "You ......"
Feng Jinjie smiled: "Of course I stay, don't look down on the head soldiers, without us, the army will all starve to death, if we don't do our duty, the army will not eat well, vomit and discharge, and the battle will not be fought, right?" ”
Lu Dongli shook his head: "I want to ask you, although you have been demoted to the lowest level of the leader, in the army, you still have influence and appeal, you can mobilize manpower, and among the Mosha people, your prestige is still extremely high, when necessary, you can drive them, right?" ”
The wind beats the chest: "It's natural." If I don't have any control over the army at all, there's no point in insisting on staying. ”
Lu Dongli replied to the question: "Although you have scattered all your family wealth, but like today, there are many rich businessmen in various places, in fact, they are all your old friends and old friends, subordinates in the past, right?" For merchants everywhere. Your face has some effect, doesn't it? ”
Feng Jinjie raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I would like to ask you to ask the Mosha Clan to send someone to meet Fan Yao and tell him that the Mosha Clan has discovered the Chen State squad and clashed with it. He also captured a soldier of the State of Chen, and although the captives later died of their wounds, they confessed before their deaths that they were only here to explore the way, and that the State of Chen was already gathering a large army, and within a month or two, they would attack Dingyuan Pass. At the same time, I would like you to write a few letters to some of your old friends, asking them to help spread the news that Chen's army is about to attack our Zhao State in a big way. Their subordinates are doing business all over the world, like teahouses and restaurants. Even the brothels, which are the easiest places to spread the news, are mostly under their control. To spread the word, it should be very easy. ”
Feng Jinjie frowned slightly: "Why?" Doing so will surely cause chaos in the world. The whole country is uneasy, the people are terrified, isn't this like what you would do? ”
Lu Dongli smiled bitterly: "Chen Guo, will you attack Zhao Guo?" ”
"Of course it will, but it's not moving yet......"
"Yes, we are not deceiving the world, but telling everyone in advance what will happen. Let's just be prepared, and ......" Lu Donglian's eyes flashed, "We must seize the opportunity now." ”
"Timing?" Feng Jinjie has always considered himself a smart person. Why did all of a sudden, I couldn't understand Lu Dongli's words.
"Yes, timing!" Lu Dongli said slowly, "Fan Yao is the confidant of the Nine Princes, the power of the Nine Kings is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and Fan Yao's position as a border commander is arranged by him, in order to control a strong army in the country by his own people." However, the nine kings have been seriously ill recently, and they are temporarily unable to participate in state affairs.......
Feng Jinjie didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he already understood, and said with a smile. ”
Lu Dongli said bitterly: "Because, if you want to fight with traitors, sometimes, you can really only be more treacherous than them." ”
He raised his eyes and looked at Feng Jinjie, because, although I could not abandon my ideals, I could not sit idly by and watch my friends be treated unfairly, because, although I am a powerless scholar, I cannot stand idly by, seeing that the country will be in trouble, and I will do nothing. Because, although my strength is so limited and so meager, I can't see heroes being humiliated and loyal being persecuted, because ......
Feng Jinjie didn't listen, didn't think about his heart, just lazy to agree, and no longer delayed time, personally sent him out of Dingyuan Pass, standing at the pass, watching him ride alone from afar, thinking about it still inappropriate, suddenly snatched a horse from other soldiers, flew on the horse and chased over. He also ignored Lu Dongli's repeated requests for him to go back, but only turned a deaf ear and escorted Lu Dongli to join his own people before returning to the customs.
A few days later, the patriarch of the Mosha clan sent his cronies to ask to see Fan Dashuai, and after the secret talks between the two sides, Fan Yao immediately looked like earth, restless, and uncertain.
As a person who can only dance and write, eat, drink and have fun, the Iron Horse Jinge sand battlefield is too far away from him, he has never fought half a battle in his life, and when he heard that hundreds of thousands of Chen people may be overwhelmed at any time, this news frightened his soul.
This is going to be fought, can Dingyuan Pass be kept?
Fan Yao doesn't have a trace of confidence in himself, he only knows that he hates the Nine Princes, the Nine Princes, the Nine Princes, I'm a good scholar, why are you forcing me into the barracks? Just for you to seize military power, force me to be this drudgery, when the time comes, I will really fight, I can't defend the city, I will go back to die, I can defend the city, there are no eyes on the battlefield, I am afraid that I will inevitably die......
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and after turning around many times, he suddenly had an idea, by the way, the Nine Princes have been sick recently, and he has no strength to participate in the government, if this time ......
He hurriedly wrote a notebook, saying that he suddenly fell ill, and it was difficult to protect the night, and he was unable to take charge of the whole army, so he only asked the court to be kind and summoned him to return to Beijing.
A letter written in a sad and tragic manner, touching and profound, is worthy of a character with a bit of literary talent.
The fold was rushed into the capital by six hundred miles, and King Zhao opened it and looked at it, and was secretly happy in his heart.
The power of the Nine Princes is too great to be easily removed, and now one of his cronies who control the army automatically asks to be transferred from an important position, can he still do it
?? Is it accurate?
The next day, when the court was meeting, the fold was taken out for discussion, which minister did not understand the master's mind in his heart, and took advantage of the absence of the nine kings in the court, everyone said a word, and quickly passed the matter.
However, according to the common practice of the Zhao State, he never refused to let the military generals dominate the power. The commanders of all armies are civil ministers, and if the commander-in-chief leaves, even the post of deputy commander-in-chief is not allowed, and it is necessary to send another civil minister.
Now that the border marshal of Dingyuanguan has been transferred back to Beijing, he will naturally have to send another one. Whom will you send? King Zhao asked casually, and then swept his eyes down.
I saw the ministers who were loyal and shouted that they would die for the country, the king and the people, and they shrank back one after another, and everyone hung their heads down, their eyes only stared at the ground, and none of them responded to the call.
It's really strange, how many people grabbed their heads when discussing the position of border coach in the past, and how has the situation changed now.
Living in the deep palace, King Zhao, whose ears and eyes are not particularly flexible, naturally didn't know, and now the news that Chen Guoren was about to call was spreading everywhere in the market, even if everyone was still a little suspicious, this morning when he saw Fan Yao's illness excerpt, he immediately believed it ten out of ten.
If it weren't for the difficulty, who would let the good soil emperor not do it, and sit on the cold bench under the feet of the Son of Heaven?
In this case, whoever is willing to take this hot potato, who is willing to put himself on the fire to roast, everyone will think that they have not heard the king's question.
King Zhao took a look. Even if everyone didn't respond enthusiastically, they had to speak on their own.
"Zhang Aiqing ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister's knowledge is still shallow, and he has never known the art of war, but I am afraid that I will not be able to share the worries of the saint."
"Li Aiqing ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister is very willing to go to the border for His Majesty, but the minister is old and sick. I can't afford to travel long distances, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Majesty......"
"This, Wang Aiqing ......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Minister...... Minister...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it......"
King Zhao's mouth almost crooked.
Okay, it's called Zhang San, Zhang San is like thunder. Disaster fell from the sky, shouting Li Si, Li Si was so trembling that it was ugly. casually called Wang Wu, this guy is not as sharp as others, so he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed, and said that he couldn't do it......
Okay, these people are holding the country's money. That's how I share my worries.
Seeing that the king's face was getting more and more ugly, the ministers of the palace were full. I can't help but sweat. At this time, a person came out from the end of the class and knelt in the temple: "If Your Majesty does not abandon the ministers, young and shallow." Weichen is willing to brave the courage to go to Dingyuan Pass. ”
Everyone looked over together, hey, the stupid second stunned person who dared to run out to pick up this drudgery at this time turned out to be Lu Dongli who had just returned from Dingyuan Pass not long ago.
It's no wonder. With his official position, he is not qualified to be promoted to the commander of one party at all. Besides, he was transferred from the local government to the imperial court, and it has not been half a year now, such a big thing. How can he be qualified to speak out?
Thinking that he wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, he was crazy and didn't even care about his own life. However, fortunately, such a fool came out of the top tank, otherwise, I don't know who would be unlucky enough to take on such an errand.
If it was under normal circumstances, Lu Dongli would dare to jump out and grab this position, not to mention that King Zhao would not nod, and the spittle of other ministers would be able to drown this newcomer to the court who did not know how to advance and retreat, and did not understand the height of the sky.
But now that the situation is special, he said such a sentence, which immediately attracted a bunch of ministers to echo him.
"Lord Lu is young and promising, and he should make great progress."
"Lord Lu has been to Dingyuan Pass many times and is familiar with everything in the army, so he is the most suitable person."
"I heard that although Lord Lu is a scribe, he usually likes to read military books, and he has a strategic mind, and he is a talent who is both civil and military.
The ministers unanimously praised Lu Dongli and expressed their approval and recognition of him.
King Zhao touched his chin and was stunned, strange, why didn't he usually find out that his courtiers like to promote the backwards and accept talents.
No matter how many doubts King Zhao had, however, even the ministers didn't want to go, and only Lu Dongli was willing to respond to the call of the monarch, and there was nothing wrong with his personality and qualifications, King Zhao hesitated for a while, and then nodded in agreement.
It's just that Lu Dongli's official position is a little lower than that of the second rank of Dingyuan Pass, so with the support of all the courtiers, he jumped three levels quickly, and directly became the third rank, and temporarily took over the matter of the second rank to control the whole army of Dingyuan Pass.
In this way, Lu Dongli came to Dingyuan Pass for the third time in a very short period of time, but this time, his identity is the new commander of Dingyuan Pass, the soldiers of the three armies, life and death, blessings and misfortunes, and from then on, they are tied to him alone.
I found that I wrote an article recently.,It's all dizzy.,God can't keep it.,The last chapter was actually written the night before yesterday.,Post it out.,But because it's too late.,People are also dizzy.,I actually forgot to publish it.。 It wasn't until the next day, when I read the reader's post, that I didn't know that there was no update that day, so I hurriedly republished it. It's dizzy.
In addition, in the previous chapter, some people agreed with the article, some people objected, and the reader Mansong wrote a long reply to express her opinion, and another reader, Brown Black, expressed his opinion on this post, which was also very insightful. Therefore, put the post at the top, and those who are interested may be able to participate in the discussion.
Finally, I want to explain that in these chapters, I do not preach the absolute perfection of heroes, and some people who are loyal and filial to their sons and heroes must be blameless. I just want to say that we can't be heroes, but at least we should respect heroes, and we should not necessarily insist that heroes must be perfect and free from mistakes, and we should not arbitrarily question the motives of those who have given their lives for the country and the people with our minds and ideas.
I also have a lot to say about the manpine post, but it may take some time to sort it out and think about it, so the response may not be quick.
