Section 70 Arrival in Beijing
readx;? Situ Lang and Situ Jun's solicitation was naturally expected by Cheng Dayou, but where did this Situ Biao come from? Cheng Dayou couldn't figure out what qualifications this Situ Biao had to give him a solicitation signal, could it be that just because he was a prince, he couldn't help but think too highly of himself at night. www.biquge.info Of course, Cheng Dayou doesn't believe that the other party is just a whim, and those who dare to talk to him must have something to rely on. It wasn't until the other party lifted out the hole cards of Qiankun Dao that Cheng Dayou knew that it was not only himself, but he was afraid that everyone in and out of the court underestimated the six princes who had been keeping their heads in the dark.
CM If there is the support of Qiankun Dao, then the hidden power of Situ Biao will increase exponentially. Cheng Dayou, who has been in Jiujiang for almost two years, has never relaxed his collection of intelligence, as early as when the Taiping Sect was running around, he vaguely heard that the power of the Qiankun Dao in the south of the empire had even passed the Taiping Sect, even if the Taiping Sect was in the south, it was quite scrupulous about this inconspicuous Qiankun Dao, but no one knew what kind of people this Qiankun Dao was composed of and what interests it represented, only knew that they were based on the Five Lakes and had quite a deep foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, and the only thing that could be determined was that they were inextricably linked with some Shu elite familiesThis is the conclusion that Cheng Dayou came to based on his understanding of the Taiping Sect and the intelligence information obtained in Jiujiang for more than a year.
Isn't it too rash to make a decision based on a few pieces of information revealed by the other party? Even if he has the backing of the Qiankun Dao, but he does not have any military force to back it up, it is worthless, but I don't know what is hidden behind the appearance that the other party is full of confidence and everything is under control.
cm paced to the window sill and looked south, the street was full of traffic, the river was like a shuttle, Cheng Dayou didn't know that his idol was happily strolling from not far away, around the interest to appreciate the Jiujiang under his rule, if the two can meet in a form of accidental encounters, cooking wine on heroes, toasting the world, this may be a rare story, but history is not accidental, it can only be subordinate to the inevitable accumulation of thousands of accidents.
After seeing Jiujiang, Wu Feng did not stay long, although Cheng Dayou was a worthy befriender, but the timing and the environment did not allow him to meet with the master of Jiujiang, especially after the other party treated the messenger he sent to listen to the wind coldly, this chaotic situation is not easy to find out what the other party thinks, and he can only wait for the time to be ripe in the future. That night, Wu Feng and his entourage took a boat north to Jin, and changed to a carriage in Jin. Although the Jin Movement was in full swing, fortunately it did not affect the travel to and from the merchants, and Wu Feng even felt that the inspection here was a mere formality, whether the local officials deliberately indulged the frightened mine owners and landlords to flee so that they could take the opportunity to take over their property and fields? Wu Feng was very skeptical.
On the day of the 697th month of the Gregorian calendar, after a long journey of fifteen days, Wu Feng and his group of five finally arrived at the imperial capital and joined Qin Shuangying and his party, who arrived the day before. Wufeng and his entourage were delayed a lot along the way, and the fleet went straight down to Yueyang, and encountered an unprecedented crazy attack in Yueyang, fortunately, Wufeng's guards had already prepared, and the other party's target was also directed at Wufeng alone, but Situ Yutang and other others were not at all concerned, Wufeng's boat was burned, and even the guards and guards sent by various factions also had a total of more than 30 people killed, and the army sent by the Han government had as many as 100 people sacrificed, which also caused a sensation in the imperial dynasty, fortunately, Situ Yutang was in danger, and decisively suppressed the public opinion that required a thorough investigation, and continued to go east into Taihu Lake in Huzhou, Jiangnan, under the escort of the Taihu Lake Naval Division, traced back to the imperial capital in Luyang through the Fan River, and did not expose the true situation that Wufeng, who pretended to be sick and did not come out, was not actually on the ship.
It was only at this time that Wu Feng quietly infiltrated the big tent and really began to show up to receive those people from all walks of life who had come to greet him and inquire about the situation.
cm looked at Situ Yutang, who was slightly reduced, and Wu Fengxin had a wonderful feeling, if he really married the jade person in front of him as the first wife, maybe it would be a good choice, not only could he win the support of the conservative forces who still took the Situ family as the authentic one, and ease his relationship with them, but also for the psychology of the entire empire, this is also a complementary combination, and what is even more rare is that she also has the same decisive power as Lin Yuexin.
cm: "Yutang, I've worked hard for you all the way." Staring at the other party's slightly slender jade spirit, Wu Feng took the other party's hand and said solemnly.
cm's face was a little burnt, although there was no one else in the room, but Situ Yutang still didn't seem to be able to adapt to Wufeng's direct way of expressing his feelings, and quietly withdrew his hand from the other party's hand, Situ Yutang swept up the scattered show, calmed down and looked back at the other party with a smile: "You and I should belong to husband and wife, how can you say such a life?
cm"Well, it's quite smooth, from Jiujiang to Jin, although they are all controlled by the Taiping Rebellion, but they are actually not strict in this regard, let me also see the management method of their Taiping Sect, I am very disappointed." Wu Feng generously took the other party's hand and walked to the chair and sat down, and then sat back in the main seat and smiled indifferently: "These lowly guys have some ability to demagogue, but if you really want to talk about the means and measures to govern the place, it is not worth mentioning, I think Heshuo will be chaotic soon!".
cm: "Oh?" Situ Yutang raised his beautiful willow eyebrows and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the Taiping Sect was very stable in Heshuo, and the foolish people were vying to support it?".
cm“ Hehe, it depends on how to say, the success of a place is not something that can be achieved by the support of some fools and foolish women, Heshuo has always been rich, if the degree of wealth of the people in the empire is only inferior to the five lakes of the East China Sea in the south of the Yangtze River, the Taiping Sect is engaged in the so-called equal wealth movement in Heshuo, not only the big businessmen have been looted, even if they have accumulated for several generations, ordinary people are the same as the bitter people, this kind of self-thinking that can satisfy some people's minds for a while The act of robbing the rich and helping the poor has completely lost its rules, and it has become more and more intense, and those who are usually lazy and lazy have taken the opportunity to join this ranks, adding fuel to the fireAnd those so-called officials of the Taiping Sect are fanning the flames and wantonly creating momentum, taking the opportunity to enrich their own pockets from fishing, how can this kind of lawless bandit behavior be the way to govern the country?
cm looked directly at the other party, Situ Yutang smiled indifferently, his jade white and smooth cheeks revealed an indescribable look, and his cold and clear gaze as clear as the moon fell on Wu Feng's face, "Even so, why didn't Wu Feng take the opportunity to recover Heshuo?".
cm Wufeng didn't expect that his unintentional words would lead to such a difficult topic to answer, and he wanted to avoid it, but when he saw that the other party's clear and watery dissolved eyes fell motionlessly on his face, he was silent for a while, and couldn't find the right words to answer.
The Taiping bandits are a rabble, and some foolish people use cult doctrines to confuse the people, and take advantage of the mistakes in the policies of some parts of the empire to coerce them, and now as time goes by, the people have gradually recognized their true colors, like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished with a wave of their hands, why is Wufeng unwilling to do this thing that conforms to the will of the people and builds this special contribution for the empire?" Although the tone of the girl's words was gentle, it was heartfelt and quite persuasive.
cm"Well, Yutang doesn't know, although the Heshuo Taiping Rebellion has done this against the sky, but it has won the full support of the lower class fools for a while, and it will take time to see the evil consequences of these measures. I think that since the Third and Fourth Army Corps of the Empire have been formed, and the Eighth and Ninth Army Corps are also actively preparing for it, maybe the Imperial Central has already had the intention of leveling the training of troops. After raising words for a long time, Ai Ai squeezed out a few insincere words to cover up the explanation.
cm Situ Yutang smiled as if he had seen through Wufeng's inner thoughts, no longer entangled on this topic, and instead wanted Wufeng to rest for a while, you must know that many forces from all walks of life in the imperial capital city had already come to pay their respects, and they were all politely rejected by Situ Yutang on the grounds that Wufeng was suffering from a small illness and was not suitable for meeting guests for the time being, but this kind of excuse is difficult to last, and it is a matter of course for Wufeng to see guests.
CM had not yet received a notice from the Imperial Provisional Military and Political Decision-making Committee, and Wu Feng and his guards, like other officials from other counties, had to stay outside the imperial capital and wait for orders, although the city gate was not closed, ordinary people could enter and leave the imperial capital city, but other provincial officials who wanted Wu Feng to be in the presence had to obey the decree and wait for the order to come down.
CM While Wu Feng was waiting for the arrival of the pass order with peace of mind, the ministers of the Jixian Hall in the city were also feeling a headache for Wu Feng's arrival.
Many ministers did not welcome the arrival of Wu Feng, but His Majesty the Emperor died, and it was a common etiquette for officials from all over the country to participate in the state funeral ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor, and Wu Feng was not only the military and political envoy of the Northwest and the governor of the Northern Luzon Special Administrative Region, but she also had an identity as the unmarried concubine of the seventeen princesses of the empire, these two special identities could not help but order the other party to enter Beijing, but when this order came out, many people thought that Wu Feng did not dare to go to Beijing in person, if Wu Feng did not come, many people had already thought about what kind of words they would use to condemn and pounce Li Wufeng, and at this time what Li Wufeng came with the risk of assassination, and was already waiting outside the cityThis has disappointed many people and generated all kinds of worries and worries.
CM "Ladies and gentlemen, Li Wufeng, the envoy of the Northwest Military and Political Festival, and Her Royal Highness the Seventeenth Princess have already arrived outside the city, and are now waiting for the committee to issue a pass, I hope you will give your opinions as soon as possible, and I can make an arrangement." "The commander of the Praetorian Guard Legion in military uniform, Ma Yuanxiang, looks a little tired, for a period of time, everyone feels that the legion elder who is currently in charge of the power of life and death in the imperial capital has not been in a high mood, maybe the death of His Majesty the Emperor has made him a little lost, but as the leader of the Praetorian Legion, it seems that he should be more uplifted.
CM: "Master Ma, you have seen it all just now, everyone's opinions on this matter are a little inconsistent, and we also want to hear your opinions." It was Ning Yuanwang who spoke, at this time he no longer had the deliberately suppressed low-key of the past, his gray head was combed extraordinarily brightly, it was already late autumn, but his thin face was full of red light, obviously some people were in good spirits on happy occasions.
According to their opinions, Li Wufeng was only allowed to enter the city on the day of His Majesty's burial, and after attending the funeral, Li Wufeng was sent out of the city to return to the northwest, and Li Wufeng should not interfere with the question of the candidate for the throne as much as possible, on the grounds that Li Wufeng and Situ Yutang were fiancées, and Situ Yutang was a member of the royal family, which was easily affected by blood relations and family affection, and could not fairly recommend a suitable candidate for the emperor。 However, this was opposed by the Minister of Finance Tian Yi and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Saridan, both of whom believed that Li Wufeng was a strong enemy of the western empire, and in one fell swoop he had conquered the nomadic people who had always been afflicted by the western frontier of the empire, and Li Wufeng was still the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor, which was obviously unreasonable, and as for the question of the candidate for the imperial throne, the Military and Political Decision-making Committee has not yet come up with a feasible selection plan, and it seems unreasonable to deprive Li Wufeng of his right to know and the right to make suggestions on this basis.
The Minister of the Interior, who plays a pivotal role in the decision-making committee, has not made a clear statement, but Ma Yuanxiang can't wait, because he has to let Li Wufeng enter the city, and he can't help but follow it. It's just that he is not a member of the decision-making committee, and although he controls the power of the four gates, he must procedurally obtain the consent of the decision-making committee.
CM "Ladies and gentlemen, Ma is just a soldier, and a soldier only needs to obey orders as his duty, since it has been decided that the decision-making committee will handle all affairs, Ma thinks it is better for the decision-making committee to decide this matter." But Ma was thinking, this Li Wufeng was originally His Majesty's son-in-law, and now he came from the northwest to worship His Majesty, if he didn't let him enter the city, he couldn't say anything anyway, I think the adults seem to be a little uneasy about him, but this is the imperial capital, not the northwest, let him have great ability, this time he only brought three or four hundred people to Beijing, and it was to protect his own life, everyone also knows that he did encounter an attack in Han and Yueyang, and suffered a lot of damage, is it that he can still set off a lot of waves in our imperial capital city with these two or three hundred people"Ma Yuan looked down on the people in front of him in his heart, he usually spoke as strong as a cow one by one, and once he encountered something, he was panicked, and even small things such as whether to allow Li Wufeng to enter the city needed to be discussed and studied, he really didn't understand whether Li Wufeng would change the current situation of the empire if he entered the city alone.
Of course, they could hear the sarcasm of the other party's words, but the other party was right, Li Wufeng alone and one or two hundred guards were nothing compared to the existing military force in the imperial capital, could he really turn the sky upside down? Ning Yuanwang coughed dryly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by the Minister of the Interior, who had been silent:" Master Ma is right, Li Wufeng is already under the city, if he is not allowed to enter the city, it will inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion, the imperial capital is not in the northwest, if he really has any disobedient intentions, then he will be killing himself! As for the question of the candidate for the throne, I think if he can have the right to advise, then Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan's representatives also have this power? I don't think this case can be opened!".
Seeing that the 6th husband had already expressed his position, Ning Yuanwang showed a hint of stupidity on his face, but he also knew that since it had become a foregone conclusion, there was no need to offend people too much, so he echoed: "Since this is the case, then Master Ma will go and give a pass, but I want to ask Lord 6 to send someone to remind Li Wufeng that it is now the period of national mourning, please pay attention to your behavior and behavior, otherwise if there is an inspector who impeaches him at the court meeting, it will not look good." ”.
cm Wufeng stood in front of his mansion and silently looked at all this in front of him, last year and today, the peach blossoms on the human face are red, the human face is not where to go, the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze, things are not people, the mansion still exists, and the giver goes. A touch of sadness quietly climbed into Wufeng's heart, although Wufeng also clearly knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not a qualified emperor, but after all, he was favored by the other party, and climbed from a small wing captain of the emperor ** to today's role, glory and wealth, power and beauty, money and mansions, all of which are inseparable from the reward of the other party no matter what purpose he is in, and now, he has been lying in the Temple of Heaven Sacrifice Hall, the so-called success or failure of the king to turn into empty is probably such a portrayal.
cm gently pushed open the wooden door of the study, the desk still placed the books of the past, the little guys are obviously very diligent, the study is still clean, all the furnishings have not changed from when they left, the only change is probably their own person. In the main living room, the calligraphy and painting of "Tranquility Far and Indifferent Mingzhi" is still hanging on the wall, and the carved chair is swarthy, which seems to have ushered in the master's second political **.
cm returned to the study and sat down, Wu Feng picked up a book and flipped through it, the bookmark imprint seemed to show that he was here more than two years ago in his spare time to taste the book, picked up the book and put it to his mouth, took a deep breath, as if to recall the wind 1iu rhyme in the imperial capital in the past two years and more than two years, and the scenes of the Qin Tower in the wild song of the horse and the stage passed in front of Wu Feng's eyes, what a time of dissipation, until he returned to the northwest, there was no such free and easy time, and there will be no more in the future.
CM sat in the study silently and silently stayed for an hour, a few locust trees outside the window were shivering in the cold wind, and the dead branches and leaves rolled up in the inner courtyard were shivering, everything was like a dream, Wufeng leaned his head back on the back of the Taishi's chair and rested, all kinds of past events came to his mind, and the study seemed to be filled with a feeling of going back in time, at this moment he even felt that everything in heaven and earth had become still, and he had a haggard and tired feeling, for a while he couldn't remember what his real purpose of coming to the imperial capital was, and time passed like thisIt wasn't until the guards were worried that something was wrong and quietly pushed open the door to inspect that Wu Feng woke up from his past memories.
cm Su Jie and Qin Shuangying showed Wu Feng's bad face at the first time, and they both asked Wu Feng with concern, but they both shirked the past, Wu Feng didn't want his bad mood to affect others, especially in this case, Su Jie, who came to the imperial capital for the first time, was obviously not mentally prepared for the prosperity of the imperial capital, and saw such a magnificent building city wall and the vast pavilions and pavilions in the imperial capital, and he was already intoxicated. Although she had heard of the prosperity of the imperial capital, she was still shocked when she saw the grand scene of the six largest cities in Tokyo University for the first time. If it weren't for her own mission, I was afraid that she would let Qin Shuangying take her out for a good life tour as soon as possible.
cm: "Li Wufeng has entered the city?" The fat man comfortably put his feet in the wooden basin and let the hot air emitted by the hot water smoke the entire calf red, sighing and soaking the air, mixed with a variety of precious medicinal materials The liquid soaking his feet is extremely comfortable, although it is a little hot foot, but it is this temperature that can achieve the best effect.
CM "Yes, I heard that a few old guys in the military and political decision-making committee argued for a long time before agreeing, hehe, these guys were frightened by Li Wufeng's force, and even Li Wufeng went to Kyoto alone and was afraid of a tiger, I really don't know what these guys think, there are more than 100,000 central forbidden troops gathered in an imperial capital city, are they still afraid of Li Wufeng, who is alone?" The young man who sat on the side and enjoyed the same treatment was not much slimmer than the obese man, with a cigarette gun in his mouth, and thick smoke erupted from his nose to form overlapping smoke rings, and his speech seemed to be a little slurred.
cm"It's no wonder that they, the year before last, His Majesty finally trapped Li Wufeng in the imperial capital, but the northwest was turbulent, and Li Wufeng had to be put back, and now that His Majesty has gone, they all thought that Li Wufeng didn't dare to come to Beijing, hehe, not only came, but also came with only a few hundred guards, what's the matter, a little bold, right?" The fat man seemed to know Li Wufeng very well, narrowed his eyes that looked a little swollen, and snorted lightly: "Don't underestimate this guy, people who underestimate him will eventually fall into the palm of his hand." ”.
CM "Well, when he came, he didn't know how many families were happy and some were sad, and several His Highnesses were busy. The young man spat out another puff of smoke rings, rolled his eyelids and said: "But it's hard to say, Li Wufeng heard that there were continuous attacks in Han and Yueyang, especially in Yueyang, even the boat was burned, it seems that he doesn't want him to go to Beijing to win a lot of people, Wow, to be able to mobilize such a large force in my Wuhu area to attack, there are only so few, but I spent a lot of effort and didn't have any news, it's really an evil sect!".
