Chapter 75: Patience
Daye has a total of five titles, including duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, each of which is classified as a third-class, which is divided into the founding lord who can be replaced by hereditary succession and the title of succession who has been awarded and degraded by hereditary demotion due to major merits. Of course, there are also those who have obtained a generation of titles because of their momentary achievements, all in all, they are very carefully divided.
Although the Marquis of Yongping and the Marquis of Baoding are both second-class marquis, they are both inherited from the hereditary titles of their ancestors, so these two families are arrogant in the capital; These two people have equal titles, and they once tried to get married, but for some reason they suddenly changed their hexagrams, and then they became rivals.
After a while, Feng Zhirong asked again: "Lord Wang, this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner can be attended by officials above the third grade...... Does this also include military attachés on the outside? ”
King Jing said: "Originally, it shouldn't be a military attache who should be included, but if you want Yang Dong to come back, it's not impossible." ”
Feng Zhirong thought for a while and said, "It's better not to startle the snake, after all, you still have to be cautious and not rush into such a thing...... I think it might be better to start from the governor of Yang Youdu and probe from the secretary of the ministry. ”
King Jing bowed his head and said, "Is there anything else that needs to be arranged by this king?" ”
Feng Zhirong thought for a while, and then said: "At present, there are none, but there are some things I want to ask to understand-what are the officials who were convicted of the affairs in the north and moved to the left?" Where are they now? There are ......" Feng Zhirong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Including the deeds of General Fan, please tell me about it!" That's how I can handle it. ”
King Jing was silent for a while, but he sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then he memorized the promotion of military attachés from the Wuwei Army and the Daye Front Army after the attack on the north one by one, and also added that there were also several counties and prefectures in the northern towns that had been transferred.
Feng Zhirong listened and remembered it carefully, and secretly sighed that King Jing's memory was really good, and he remembered the names of more than 20 people and the positions and years that he had changed one after another, and he could say it in an orderly manner in a short time, no wonder the emperor relied on this son as his left and right arm.
And Feng Zhirong's memory was originally excellent, and she remembered it with her heart, and she repeated it one more time after King Jing finished saying it before letting King Jing continue, and she remembered it ten out of ten.
After King Jing finished speaking, he began to tell the story of General Fan.
There is nothing special about this story, that is, General Fan's father is just a small lieutenant, and his family background is not special. When General Fan grew up, he went to the martial arts exam from his father's order, and he hung his tail all the way to the palace exam, because his performance was not brilliant, and he was not reused later, that is, when he was in his thirties, he assisted an old general at that time to complete the task of attacking the enemy army before he got the official position of a captain, but I don't know what happened from then on, but he made military achievements all the way, and became a general from the third grade when he was in his fifties;
Later, under a chance meeting, General Fan got the recommendation of his in-laws, and was transferred to the Silver Armor Army, which was still directly under the emperor at that time, and then to the Golden Wing Army for a while, but he had no results, and he really stood still for a few years; A few years later, it coincided with the turmoil on the southern border of Daye, and at that time, most of the heavy soldiers and generals who could fight were stationed in the north, so General Sanpin, who had not officially picked the beam, led the troops alone for the first time, and calmed down the war within half a year, and performed brilliantly, and it was really valued from then on......
At that time, the emperor also knew that this old general Fan was an old fox on the battlefield.
He can't do anything else, but he likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
He pretended to be cowardly, so that even his own people looked down on him, and his reputation for being cowardly as a mouse spread to the four countries.
Everyone thought that his army was a fat sheep, and naturally attributed all his great exploits to his superiors at that time, so that the enemy army, who had underestimated the enemy, did not have time to finish laughing, and welcomed his own compatriots with corpses all over the field and their homes shattered.
King Jing said as he looked at Feng Zhirong's deeper and deeper brows, and couldn't help but reach out and caress him: "Although General Fan is like this, he is very loyal to the imperial court and has never formed a party for personal gain, so he can rest assured." ”
Feng Zhirong grabbed King Jing's finger and said, "I'm not worried about General Fan, but I'm worried about General Fan's doorway." ”
"You mean, but General Fan has been too ruthless against the enemy?"
"That's one of the reasons, but it's not the point." Feng Zhirong let go of King Jing's hand and slowly expressed his hidden worries: "This is just my speculation, although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but General Fan's early career was not smooth, perhaps because of the deviation from the door, and after a long time, everyone will understand his tactics, and even his habits, everything about him will be understood." ”
Feng Zhirong looked directly into King Jing's eyes and said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, even if it is a strange soldier or a strange scheme, if you use it too much, you can make people grasp the doorway; The world is so big, General Fan Lao has been from his thirties to his seventies for nearly forty years, and his habits in the past forty years are really different? ”
King Jing was silent for a while, and then said: "I used to hear about General Fan's deeds when I was young, but they are really different. And what General Fan taught me was also such a surprising and winning move. ”
"Lord Wang, if you are talking about military aircraft, there will only be key people present, right?" Watching King Jing mention General Fan and the past every time, King Jing would always inadvertently change his title, and even show nostalgia on his face, so Feng Zhirong decided not to question or refute King Jing's trust in General Fan, but put forward his own guess: "Even if General Fan can always predict people's hearts and win by surprise, then the lieutenants and adjutants who have been with him for many years must also ask clearly." ”
"The imperial court will rotate personnel in every battle, and there has never been a fixed adjutant and adjutant, and even a few cronies and lieutenants next to the king will not keep up with every battle."
Feng Zhirong shook her head: "You don't need to check everything, but you have to 'ask'." ”
"Ask?"
Feng Zhirong nodded and said, "There is only one time when the prince follows General Fan, to ask everyone about General Fan's habits, first summarize an outline, after all, everyone has died, and this clue is not easy to check." ”
"And then?"
"Just like the patrol in the town and the eye in the formation, there will always be one or two leaks, and whoever can touch the leaks will be clear."
"I'm afraid it's not so easy for this king to think about it, but it's also a direction." King Jing frowned, thought for a long time and didn't speak, Feng Zhirong looked at his contemplative face, said a few words of relief, and even wanted to touch his slightly tangled eyebrows, but he also clenched his fists and endured.
