Chapter 240: The Great Unification: Conditions (1)
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be here all day long with me, this Qingyang Palace is a separate garden, there are many things in the court, San Lang is young, if you keep doing this, I'm afraid there will be criticism." Gu Qingfeng's face turned pale, and he slowly approached Meng Yan's side.
Meng Yan put down the piece in his hand and hurriedly got up to meet him, and said angrily: "Didn't you let you cultivate well? Why are you still coming here? ”
Gu Qingfeng gently grabbed Meng Yan's hand and said with a smile: "My body is like this, it's not a big deal, it's not comfortable to lie down every day, I just want to come and see you." ”
"You! It's just that I can't be idle, alas," Meng Yan's expression darkened as he spoke, there were some things he didn't want to say, but he always knew everything about Gu Qingfeng, and he didn't want to hide anything, and then said: "Uncle passed away, Wanshu's matter, you are too sad." ”
Speaking of Meng Wanshu, Gu Qingfeng sighed, although she was not her own child, but she had been taken care of by herself for so many years, and she was no different from her own child, she understood that as a child of the royal family and married to a border general, some things could not be avoided, but it was really impossible to be assassinated.
"I know if you don't tell me these days, you told me who did Shu'er's thing, I asked the eldest brother, but he refused to tell me, and they didn't reply when I sent a letter to Jing Yan and Jing Yi." Gu Qingfeng was in a hurry.
Meng Yan shook his head and said: "Qingfeng, it's not that we deliberately want to hide it from you, this matter has not been clarified until now, the young disease and Jin Fu have already taken down Peng Yue, and the National Security Institute will send people back in a few days, alas, since you asked, let's also talk?" ”
"Your Majesty, please say, Qingfeng still has the strength to avenge the woman." Gu Qingfeng gasped, her chest rose and fell, and she could see that she was in a hurry.
"Peng Chu and Peng Yue brothers are definitely not the masterminds, my uncle also talked to me about this the day before yesterday, he thinks that this is a conspiracy, and the people involved are from Chengdu to Kaifeng, and he even suspects that there are people from other military governments, of course, the Quan family and Daning must also be involved." Meng Yan gritted his teeth, he has been enduring these days, he can't faint, let alone fall.
"Do you have a clue?" Gu Qingfeng paid more attention to the progress of the incident.
"Quan Qing ran away with people, leaving an empty city for the eleventh, and the old eleven's request to go north is still here, and I didn't approve it."
"Why? Watching Kwon Qing run away? Gu Qingfeng asked puzzled.
"Quan Qing took people north along the river and did not go to Jinnan, but went all the way north to secretly leave Datong, so I confirm that the matter of Shu'er and his family must have something to do with them, but going north will inevitably have a conflict with Daning, I mean I want the Snow Wolf Army to be dispatched and let Di Xin lead the troops out of Hexi." Knowing that Gu Qingfeng was puzzled by his decision, in order not to make Gu Qingfeng angry, he hurriedly responded.
"This is indeed a good idea, but didn't you say that this matter may involve the military government? Is Dexin credible? Gu Qingfeng doesn't believe anyone except Meng Yan now, even Meng Jingyi's own son's words, she doesn't believe it, since Meng Wanshu was assassinated, her mind has returned to the time of the Ming Jian Division.
"I know, so I'm going to make the thirteenth king of Su, with Suzhou as a fief, he will go over as a messenger, and I will also give him a secret decree, if I find that there is a problem with the Snow Wolf Army, I will take it over immediately, but I believe that Di Xin has no problem." Meng Yan said what he was planning.
"Well, Your Majesty has arranged it very well, so that it will not make the people of the Snow Wolf Mansion resist in their hearts, and it can also make the Snow Wolf Mansion feel the royal kindness, so what about Peng Yue? What does Your Majesty plan to do with it? Let the National Security Institute or the White Clothes Temple take over? ”
Meng Yan poured a cup of warm tea for Gu Qingfeng and sent it to her, although it was located in the south, it was also very cold in this winter, he felt Gu Qingfeng's hands cold just now, and after watching Gu Qingfeng drink it, he said: "I don't plan to let them take over Peng Yue's affairs, I understand Huo Youji's thoughts, but they are not mature enough, I plan to let Su Qing take over after Peng Yuemi sends it back." ”
Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Su Qing? Inspectorate? This is not good, if the People's Intelligence Bureau knows, I am afraid that she will be impeached. ”
"So it's a secret, I will let someone send Peng Yue to Qingyang Palace, you are here to recuperate, this is the queen's private residence, even the People's Court will not say anything, Su Qing is an important minister in the court, and a woman, of course, my spy organization was established by her, don't you feel at ease about her personality?"
"If so, please allow your concubine to participate in the interrogation!" Seeing that Meng Yan wanted to refuse, Gu Qingfeng immediately blocked it and said, "Don't worry, I will cherish my body, if the thief is not eliminated for a day, I will not have the opportunity to meet my sister!" ”
Seeing Gu Qingfeng so resolute, Meng Yan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Okay, but I have an agreement with you, you are not allowed to directly participate in the interrogation, I will let Su Qing pass on the results of the interrogation to you in time, and discuss anything with Su Qing." ”
"The concubines obey His Majesty's orders!" Gu Qingfeng's eyes instantly revealed a cold air, the last time this breath appeared was when Cang Shu Haoyue was assassinated, this cold air made Meng Yandu shiver, and Peng Yue's tragic situation seemed to be right in front of him.
Meng Yan was about to summon someone to send Gu Qingfeng back, only to hear Gu Qingfeng frown tightly and say, "What is the situation with Jinnan Long Tingfei?" Zhou Ce's first assassination was because of Long Tingfei's troops, he may know something. ”
"I thought so too, so I sent Geng Chao to go."
"Geng Chao? Didn't His Majesty promise that he would not let him deal with the old man that day? ”
"I didn't let him deal with it, I just asked him to find a way out for the old man, and he agreed at that time," and then suddenly paused and said: "Jin Fu is good this time, and he has a very tacit understanding with Huo Youji, at that time, it was a bad move to transfer him from Bai Ze to Shenying, and after this time, I want him to follow Huo Youji." ”
"Your Majesty has made up your mind? Jiaolong has just been formed, and then a new army is formed, and the vacancies in each province will be big, how do you plan to solve it? Wouldn't it be better to slow down? Gu Qingfeng suggested.
"The Condor Mansion is going to be reshuffled, Qingshuai originally wanted Xuan Song to take over the cardinal, but now it seems that Xuansong is not good, I plan to use Tan Ji as the cardinal servant."
"Tan Ji? Do you think he's fit to take over the cardinal? "Gu Qingfeng's impression of Tan Ji is very average and capable, but the Tan family is also a big upstart, and some of them are too drilled, and I am afraid that it is not suitable to be in charge of the cardinal.
"I didn't plan to let him take charge of the cardinal, Qingshuai's body lost a lot in the early years, and since he took the helm of the cardinal, he has worked hard, Tan Ji is sleek, and it is still good as Qingshuai's assistant." Meng Yan is quite confident.
Meng Yan had already made a decision, and Gu Qingfeng didn't want to say anything more, so he bit his lip and asked, "What are you going to do with the vacancies in the Condor Mansion and the Tiger Mansion?" ”
"Xuan Song continues to be in charge of the Condor Mansion, Erlang is the auxiliary commander, Huan Gu has been in Bai Ze and the Condor Army, if it weren't for the mistakes made some time ago, I wouldn't let him return to the Condor Army, this time he is good, you can let him take over the deputy commander of the Condor, Fang Keming is very familiar with handling the government, it's time to let him go out and practice, let him take over the Condor Commander, Zhuge Chen went out of the town of Kaifeng and took over the Condor Commander."
"Fang Keming, I can understand, but this Zhuge Chenchen's concubine doesn't understand."
"Zhuge Chen has been trained well over the years, and his local service is not short, he has a family history, he can try to be in charge of the first army, and Xuansong's ability will definitely not let Kaifeng lose."
Gu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is this planning to reuse the Yan Clan?" I'm afraid that the Yan family is going to sell themselves for His Majesty. ”
Meng Yan just smiled and didn't answer, and then continued: "It's a foregone conclusion that Huo Youji will leave the Tiger, I plan to let Jing Mu take over the Tiger Counselor and Jiujiang, and let him take Jing Mu's place after Geng Chao comes back this time." ”
"Your Majesty has already planned, but the concubines are too careful, but, Your Majesty, do you want Long Tingfei to partner with Huo Youji?" Gu Qingfeng's mind was running fast.
Meng Yan went up and hugged Gu Qingfeng and said with a smile: "Mrs. who knows me, too!" What do you think is the name of this special operations army? Counting up, we also have eight military mansions. ”
"Special warfare, people are not expensive, and the tasks performed are even more special, this Huo Youjian acts stoically and unruly, which often gives us headaches, and the concubines think it is more appropriate to use the name 'ape'."
"Well, then call it the 'White Ape Brigade', there are not many people and they can't become an army, but they are special, seven armies and one brigade, not bad."
"Okay, Your Majesty, the concubines are going down to prepare, and you should discuss these national affairs with those in Begonia Garden."
Meng Yan was very bored when he heard that Gu Qingfeng was leaving, but he couldn't stop it, and after watching Gu Qingfeng leave, he wrote the three big characters "White Ape Brigade" on the paper, and then wrote five names below, which were Huo Youji, Jin Fu, Long Tingfei, Meng Han and Meng Jingke's names.
At the same time, the negotiations between Geng Chao and Long Tingfei were about to come to an end, but Long Tingfei's conditions surprised Geng Chao.
"General Geng, we are also regarded as ministers of the same dynasty, and I believe that with your lord's generosity, he will not stop them." Long Tingfei said sincerely.
Geng Chao was embarrassed: "General Long, if you say this, most of the soldiers and horses in Jinnan will leave, then Jinnan's defense will be empty, do you plan to give up Jinnan?" Will the people of Jinnan encounter war again? ”
Long Tingfei sighed and said: "General Geng, everyone has their own choice, I don't want to influence their thoughts, they are all brothers who have followed me for many years, I don't want to affect them because of my decision, and I ask your lord to understand." ”
"I can understand General Long's thoughts, but I can't be the master of this matter, let me go for three days, and I will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision?"
Long Tingfei was quite surprised, and questioned: "General Geng is not joking, you also said that this is a big deal, don't you ask Chengdu?" Can the prince call the shots? ”
Geng Chao smiled and said: "General Long, I told Your Majesty that it takes a lot of time to go back and forth from Jincheng to Chengdu, and the crown prince, King Yong and King Qin are all on the front line of Nanyang, and they can make a decision if there is something." ”
Long Tingfei admired it very much in his heart, once the monarch delegated power like this, it has never been since ancient times, which shows his self-confidence, and it can also be seen that the Daxuan court is united.
On the evening of the third day after the two-day meeting, Luo Chen's letter arrived, Geng Chao hurriedly asked to see Long Tingfei, Long Tingfei was excited after seeing it, and said: "Long Tingfei, the general of Jinnan, is willing to surrender, please go north and station in various places." ”
Geng Chao's heart also let go of most of it, and what he didn't let go of was that the army would not be able to withstand the variables one day, and he smiled and said: "General Long, you and I are officials in the same dynasty again, but don't take it lightly, Lu Qingchen is still in Jincheng, and the army of Quan Xi has been hanging over our heads." ”
Long Tingfei stabilized his mind and said: "Don't worry, the Puzhou guard is my cronies and is also biased towards Daxuan, I immediately wrote to him to open the Puzhou gate to let the army enter the city, as for the others, I don't think they will do anything out of line, but in order to avoid disasters, I will ask General Geng to send them out of Jincheng tomorrow." ”
"Well, the five states of southern Jin, Puzhou, Jiangzhou, Huozhou, Qinyang, and Zezhou, Brother Long is a little sure."
"Only Huozhou, Huozhou guards have always had close contacts with Daning, this is also the place I am most worried about, if the news of my attachment comes out, I am worried that Huozhou will take refuge, but it is not appropriate to use troops now."
