Chapter 138: Confrontation between the North and the South, Disturbance by Philistines

The farce in Chengdu was just talked about by everyone as a talking point, and after Meng Yan returned to Chengdu, he followed Gu Qingfeng back to Yueqing Palace with a smile, I don't know what I was scared of, anyway, I was unhappy when I came out.

Some good people asked Huo Youji about the secrets, Huo Youji pretended to be mysterious and refused to tell the truth, but after he was so mysterious, the title of King Yong was instantly resounding in the Central Plains, and Xiao Yu, who was far away in Jinling, laughed and talked about this matter with the ministers after the court meeting.

However, these are all rumors, and no one knows the real situation, but Meng Yan issued an edict the next day after talking with Gu Qingfeng, removing Gu Xifeng from the position of acting Shang Shuling, and setting up a new cardinal, respecting the left and right servants, and taking charge of the cardinal; Then set up the West Stage, with the left and right servants as the respect, in charge of reviewing the edict and have the right to refute it, the three stand side by side, with the Shangshutai as the respect, there is no Shangshu Order for the time being, with Lu Chongzong as the left servant of the cardinal platform, Jin Qian as the right servant of the cardinal platform, Nie Huan in the left servant of the West Taiwan and the leader of the military council Shangshu, and Zhuo Baiqing in the right servant of the West Taiwan and the secretary of the Shen Penal Division, but in private everyone calls the respect of the three stations "phase".

As soon as this move came out, the division of civil and military affairs in Xifu became more distinct, and the separation of five powers was formally formed. There are three stations for the sky, four halls for the earth, and six divisions for the supplement; Wu is respected by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the three marshals' mansions are the wings, and then the Yuezhou General's Mansion and the Changsha General's Mansion are added, with a total of nine generals' mansions as the foot; With the supervision of the People's Intelligence Institute and the secret investigation by the Mingjian Division, a complete system has been established.

"Qilang, what you do will cause everyone to reverie, there are so many phases, some like the existence of the Southern Pavilion of the Ling Dynasty." Gu Qingfeng said while lying on his side.

"You are pregnant, don't worry about it, I've tired you in the past few years, you have the energy to deal with these things, I can't do it, set up more phases, let them be busy, but when it comes to the South Pavilion, I have some ideas, the future is mature, I will make a cabinet, stuff him with a dozen people, let them be busy fighting, save me trouble." Meng Yan said as he blew on the hot chicken soup.

"You, as a prince, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tease your subordinates like this, Su Qing wrote to say that since Dong Que arrived in the back of Sichuan, he has been in a panic all day long, and a series of operations after you returned to Chengdu made him go crazy."

As soon as Lu Ping's name appeared, Meng Yan's face changed, and he said coldly: "This guy is a general, his ability is outstanding, he just can't be a man, and he has a messy mind all day long. ”

Gu Qingfeng stood up, made a big salute, and then said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, the concubine thinks that Jin Shuai can no longer be suppressed, he has almost been cleaned up by a young illness in the old department of Yeling, and something will happen in the long run." ”

Seeing Gu Qingfeng bowing to each other, Meng Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said: "Qingfeng, Jin Qian has been around all day long, and he has become the most unpopular person in Xifu, the medical officer department came to report that his body is close to running out of oil and the lamp is dry, and his only son Jin Fu has already summoned him to Bai Zewei, and I will leave him the last dignity by doing this." ”

Only then did Gu Qingfeng understand that Meng Yan had already made arrangements, so he didn't say anything more, and said instead: "Speaking of the Medical Officer's Office, it's time to pay attention to the bodies of your adults, Ye Shuai's body has long been damaged by wine, and he has never married a wife until now, Qingshuai's health has been worse every day since he was assassinated, and the two of them will be in their early forties." ”

Meng Yan sighed and said with a gloomy expression: "Yes! It's that I can't stand them, Zhuo Gong is not yet fifty years old, he is already full of gray hair, I saw Nie Huan two days ago, and people in their thirties are not skinny. ”

"Your Highness, it's time to choose a group of people to come in." Gu Qingfeng reminded.

"Well, you have time to summon your sister-in-law into the palace these days and have a good time with her, but your uncle still has to take a step, and you have to give the young man some opportunities."

"Didn't you let the uncle take charge of Shangshutai?" Gu Qingfeng wondered.

Meng Yan shook his head, "Big brother is not willing to live or die, and his health is not very good, I have an idea, how about you listen to it?" ”

Gu Qingfeng suddenly stroked his stomach and said softly: "You say, I'll listen to it, you still have to discuss it with your courtiers." ”

"I plan to let the eldest brother and Ye Bohuai be ranked as the third duke, the eldest brother is the Taishi, Ye Bohuai is the Tai Lieutenant, the uncle is in charge of Shangshutai, Xue Zhen is the left servant of the center, Deng Gang is promoted to the right servant, and the Dadu Governor's Mansion will let Chen Zhiqing come back to take over."

"There are three vacant halls in the four major halls, and there are still six secretaries, counselors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the three marshals' mansions, etc., all of which are vacant, can they be filled for a while?" Meng Yan's move was too bold, Wenchen said that there was a fault in the generals, although the generals led by Xuan Song were good, but the qualifications and abilities in charge of the General's Mansion were not enough.

"I'm not talking to you, and I'm not going to make a decision right away, your worries are also my worries, the talents selected by the two academies have been enriched to local experience in recent years, and I really can't find so many suitable people for a while, these guys came out with me in the early years, and I really can't bear to overwork them." Meng Yan sighed and said helplessly.

"Are you planning to activate Luping?" Gu Qingfeng understood the key.

"Yes and no, I didn't think about it, Qingshuai is leaving, who will be in charge of Jiangxia? Quartz is not good, Yu Qingwu is his shadow, Yu Laohu has grown up very quickly over the years, and now he is the most assured, thinking about it, only Lu Ping can take on the great responsibility of Jiangxia. ”

Gu Qingfeng frowned, "Lord Wang, be cautious, once someone like Lu Ping gives him a chance, he can give you a chance!" ”

"That's what I'm talking about, so I'm dying of sorrow these days, and there is the Shuai Mansion in Langzhong, is it okay for Xifeng? It stands to reason that you know him best. Meng Yan once again threw out a new question.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head firmly and said, "My eldest brother can't do it, he is already at the limit of his ability to be in charge of the general, and in charge of the Shuai Mansion, that is to take care of people's lives." ”

"Uh, it's not as terrible as you said, my uncle's ability to control the overall situation is a little worse, I'll just give him a good counselor, and we have an appointment with Xijing, and we won't use troops on a large scale in the next few years."

Gu Qingfeng still refused: "Even if you let Brother Yanfeng take charge of the Shuai Mansion, you are much better than him." ”

Meng Yan lamented and lay down on the bed, Gu Qingfeng was also holding his chin and worried, the two of them discussed it, but they didn't come up with a solution, and there was a lot of trouble.

When King Yong and Princess Yong were worried, Lu Ping's mentality was about to collapse, the more Jing Yi and Dong Que respected him, the more afraid he was, Jin Shuai's letter made him even more uneasy, Jin Fu was called as Bai Zewei's lieutenant Jin Shuai didn't speak, this means that Jin Shuai has surrendered to the prince, what should he do? Who in Quanxi Mansion doesn't know that he is Jin Qian's pawn.

"General Lu?" Jing Yi's voice came from outside the tent.

Lu Ping's face turned pale suddenly, feeling that the end was near, so he rushed out to meet him, only to see Jing Yi and Dong Que coming.

"General Lu is not feeling well?" Dong Que asked carefully.

"Well, there are some of them, it's always not as comfortable as being at home after staying on the grassland for a long time." Lu Ping said perfunctorily.

Jing Yi and Dong Que looked at him a little strangely, Lu Ping was a fierce general in Xifu, and his physical fitness was comparable to that of Hu Shuai, how could he be sick and his face turned pale.

Seeing that the expressions of the two were wrong, and the eyes were even more strange, Lu Ping was about to go crazy, his knees were weak, and he asked a little timidly: "Two generals, but there is an edict in Chengdu?" ”

"Yes, it's an edict from the Chengdu Palace, and General Dong and I just came over after receiving it." Jingyi still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Lu Ping closed his eyes, thinking that he should have come or come, and said angrily: "Is it to be beheaded on the spot or escorted to Chengdu for trial?" ”

Jing Yi and Dong Que glanced at each other, they didn't understand, what was the situation, it was just an edict urging the search for Zhuge Xingchen, what the hell was the beheading and escorting.

"Ahem, cough, the royal palace ordered us to find Zhuge Xingchen as soon as possible to fight and solve the problem in western Sichuan, what happened to General Lu?" As a subordinate, Dong Que has never lacked the ability to alleviate embarrassment, and he can't guess what Shangguan thinks.

But Jing Yi figured out what Lu Ping meant, he had heard about the rectification of Yeling, although Jin Qian's power in Yeling was not uprooted, but it was almost swept away, Lu Ping has always supported Jin Qian, he probably thought that the prince wanted to arrest him and ask him for guilt.

Hearing Dong Que's words, Lu Ping opened his eyes suddenly, stood up suddenly, and said in surprise: "What?!" Then he found that he was out of shape, coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment, and then said: "Looking for Zhuge Xingchen to fight?" ”

"Yes, that's what the royal edict says." Dong Que was taken aback by Lu Ping's behavior, his brain didn't turn, and he replied mechanically.

"General Lu, Mingjian Si Qu Hao personally came to command the military situation, and the battle order of the Dadu Governor's Mansion wants us to divide our troops into three ways to look for traces of Zhuge Xingchen in the grassland." Jingyi quickly became calm.

Speaking of military affairs, Lu Ping changed his cranky thinking, quickly walked to the table to open the topographic map of western Sichuan and studied it, and only after two teas did he say: "General Jingda, it's not that this general will question the edict of the palace and the battle order of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the vast grassland of western Sichuan, the combat strength of the Shiqu Department and the Daqu Department is not weak, and our three armies together are just a draw with them, if we divide the troops, I am afraid it will not work." ”

"The news from the Qu Inspector is that the traces of Zhuge Xingchen have been found in the Shiqu Department, why don't we bypass the Daqu Department and go to the Dege Department?" Jingyi suggested.

Lu Ping shook his head and said: "General, the soldiers of the Tiger Shuai who went west to the Derge Department that day were already a headache, and their combat power was even more extreme, and at the same time, the food and grass were insufficient, and the troops in the Derge Department were not conducive to our army, and Zhuge Xingchen hid in the Shiqu Department because of this." ”

"General Lu, I came here this time to dispatch a lot of Zhaonan soldiers, they are hardy and accustomed to the plateau, can they fight?" Jing Yi didn't want to question the edict.

Lu Ping frowned and thought for a while and said: "No, the general's Zhaonan soldiers are our last bargaining chip, once we enter the plateau, we can only rely on the general's eight thousand strong soldiers." ”

"According to General Lu's meaning, we are going to return again in vain this time?" Jing Yi is a little unhappy, I have enough respect for you, but I am the general anyway.

Lu Ping heard that Jing Yi's words were not good, and was about to have a seizure, but the peacemaker Dong Que immediately stood up and hurriedly said: "Since the two generals have differences, this is a good thing, the prince once said that there is a dispute before there is an idea, isn't it?" ”

"Hmph, since General Lu is unwilling to go north, General Ben himself will take all the troops and horses to the decisive battle with Zhuge Xingchen, and General Dong will postpone." Jing Yi said strongly.

"The general has made up his mind, the last general will not dare to disobey, the last general still insists on not going to the Derge department, I will bring my own people to the Daqu department." Lu Ping did not back down.

The two of them were tense with swords, and they were about to burst, Dong Que couldn't hold it anymore, the curtain of the big tent was opened, it was Qu Hao from Mingjian Si who came, and when he saw such a scene, he immediately knew what was going on.

In order to avoid the escalation of the situation, he hurriedly said: "Three generals, Zhuge Xingchen went to Dafeichuan. ”

"What?!" Lu Ping and Jing Yi exclaimed at the same time.

This Zhuge Xingchen is really getting more and more ghostly.
