Chapter 156: Untenable
The condition of the Marquis of Yongning, with the emperor's return to the palace, soon spread throughout the Qianbu Corridor.
According to the imperial doctor, Qin Yin was so angry that he caused old injuries, and his life was worry-free, but he had to recuperate for a while.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were very apprehensive.
After all, the Xiliang army has already set up camp outside Feimen Pass.
Military intelligence changes day by day.
Xiliang people will not take it slowly, wait for Qin Yin's illness to recover, and then have a "fair" showdown.
In other words, they don't know that Yongning Hou is sick, and if they know that Da Zhou is now embarrassed to choose the head coach, I'm afraid they will attack immediately.
Take advantage of your illness and kill you.
In the red-clothed guard yamen, Feng Jing flipped through the paperwork, but his mind was not on the copywriting.
From time to time, he would turn his head to look at Lin Fan.
The commander was very busy, and although the emperor had not decided to let him go with the army, he seemed to have made up his mind to go.
Today, he has been sorting out the existing cases and other official affairs in his hands for the transfer to the officials in charge of the Red Guards later.
Feng Jing has been on duty under Lin Fan these days, and he can be regarded as knowing his temperament.
Lin Fan didn't just want to be an idle person because of his deceased father and inherited the title, he wanted to be worthy of the lintel of the Guogong Mansion.
There was no chance before, but now, Lin Fan will seize it.
It's just that......
Lin Fan also noticed Feng Jing's absent-mindedness.
After Feng Jing looked at him for an unknown number of times, Lin Fan asked, "What are you pondering?" ”
Feng Jing was arrested, and the words rushed out: "What if, I mean, the emperor won't let you go?" ”
"Why does the emperor not allow me to go?" Lin Fan asked rhetorically.
This is not that Lin Fan deliberately scolded Feng Jing, but that he wanted to hear how many high-sounding reasons the emperor could have in the eyes of a bystander who didn't know the inside story.
For a while, Feng Jing couldn't answer.
He frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "You are not married, if you don't come back, the Guogong Mansion will be extinct?" The old lady probably couldn't stand this blow. ”
After speaking, Feng Jing scratched his head again.
It may sound like this, but it's not uncommon to die because of war.
From ancient times to the present, there is no hairpin who should serve the country loyally and bravely, refusing to join the battlefield on the grounds of "no marriage and no son".
"You are the son of the Duke of Xiandingguo, and you want to complete your father's unfinished business," Feng Jing thought for a while, and then said, "Then you go, who will be in charge of the Red Guard?" ”
Lin Fan chuckled.
Truly.
In the eyes of onlookers, there are very few justifiable reasons to refuse him to go to the border gate.
With the so-called "cherishing talents" and "reluctance", what have become of the soldiers who were ordered to go on the expedition in the eyes of the emperor?
Feng Zhong is like that, he has fought for the Great Zhou all his life, and like An Beihou, his father dies and his son follows, and he goes forward and succeeds for the Great Zhou, hasn't he become a person who is "talentless" and "will not die at will"?
Moreover, when the Marquis of Anbei went on the expedition with Lin Xuan for the first time twelve years ago, he was also unmarried and had no heirs, and the emperor did not use this as an excuse to keep him in Beijing, so it is not very tenable to use this reason to stay in Lin Fan.
The army is overwhelmed, and the most convincing general Yongning Hou is ill and unable to go on the expedition, Da Zhou needs to boost morale, and there must be no such small things to confuse the army's morale and make resentment everywhere.
Lin Fan thought, this time, it is difficult for the emperor to find a good reason.
This is also the most likely way for him to achieve his goal after consulting with the Marquis of Yongning and the eldest princess.
"I'm not sure who's in charge." Lin Fan replied.
Feng Jing's face was full of distress.
In his opinion, the commander of the Red Guard is really not a good job.
In addition to this head, it is best to have an excellent background in itself, otherwise, it is not hard enough to arrest people.
Don't say "dare or not" to offend people, but you don't have the ability to offend at all.
And a person who has enough foundation to offend people, and who dares to offend extremely much......
Who doesn't take this opportunity to take the initiative to invite Ying to Feimenguan?
Thinking of this, Feng Jing secretly sighed.
In the future, it will be impossible for the Red Yiwei to do things as "wantonly" as when Lin Fan was in charge.
And how can those who are tied up do a good job in this yamen?
Feng Jing likes to do things with Lin Fan very much, and it is a pity to think about it like this.
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the folds handed over by the military department.
Before the war, there was already a general process for the transfer and turnover, and it didn't look bad.
Fan Taibao said slowly: "The idea of the Marquis of Yongning, the emperor might as well consider it, according to the old minister's opinion, it is indeed feasible to have General Feng as the commander and cooperate with the garrison generals of Feimen Pass." An Beihou is also reasonable, although he has little experience......"
"What about it?" The emperor interrupted Fan Taibao's words, "I'm thinking about it." ”
Fan Taibao's eyebrows tightened.
Lin Nianzhi?
What is there to ponder about Lin boy?
Fan Taibao tried to guess the emperor's thoughts, and said: "The old minister knows that you have always regretted Lin Xuan's early death, with Lin Xuan's ability, if he stays in Beijing, he can play no less than leading troops in governing the country."
He is still injured, as long as he doesn't have to work hard to lead the troops, and the imperial doctor is properly conditioned, he can also increase his lifespan.
But he is determined to recover the territory for the Great Zhou, and his temperament is not for you to let him keep, so he happily keeps it.
You kept him before and he was not happy, and now you keep his son, and he is not happy under the earth. ”
Emperor:......
Fan Taibao just didn't see the emperor depressed.
Although it is said that the monarch is the king, the monarch is the sky, but when the courtiers are the kings, there will also be joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
And in the entire Great Zhou, the most unhappy courtier now is naturally Mrs. Xu, who sealed himself at home.
As a king, you can't just focus on your own thoughts and completely ignore the feelings of your courtiers.
Good words and persuasion can't persuade a result, and Fan Taibao can only use the matter of the Lin family's father and son to go around the emperor.
"The minister knows that he fought Xiliang outside the Feimen Pass, not when he was six or seven years old, he hit the capital with a pair of fists, and he couldn't be a little overlord," Fan Taibao said, "He also has no experience, but experience needs to be experienced, if you don't go this time, what will happen in the future?"
Yongning Hou is sick, General Feng's age is not inferior to the old marquis, Anbei Hou can still follow Lin Xuan to try, and if it drags on, Lin boy, they are the next generations, which veteran can lead the way?
We old bones are reluctant to fight for our younger generations, but, Your Majesty, this matter is the same as adopting a son and grandson.
When they grow up, they have to let go little by little.
Always detained, managed, pinched, children and grandchildren will also think that there are many old bones, what do you say? ”
The emperor didn't say anything.
Huang Taishi glanced at Fan Taibao.
With such words, Huang Taishi couldn't think of what the emperor could say.
To sum up, it is one meaning.
If you don't want to let go and let young people break in, don't always dislike Mrs. Xu for managing your son like Lao Tzu, who has managed you to death for decades.
