Chapter 241: Anger
Not to mention the brothers and sisters of the Hai family, the old Marshal of Zhenguo Zhou and his sons, as well as the old military division, Xie Wenzai and others just finished reading the confession of Wang Lao Liu sent by Huang Zhifu, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Although they already knew that Du Boqin was a traitor and had already colluded with the Sun family, they never expected that his target was not only a Zhou family, but also other generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, he did not intend to let go, and directly hit the idea of each family's sons!
Whose children are not precious? Even if it is a family with flourishing children, every child is carefully raised from an early age, and if a horse race is broken, who doesn't feel painful? Even if you don't lose your life, but are injured or disabled, it can still make people feel distressed to death! Who doesn't resent the person who caused all this to happen? Even if the whole thing seems like an "accident", the families of the dead and injured will inevitably take out anger and resentment towards other children who participated in the horse race.
If Du Boqin's conspiracy is really successful, not to mention that the Zhou family and other generals may turn against each other, even the entire Northwest Frontier Army may become a mess. At present, this kind of harmonious atmosphere with the outside world will be gone. When the time comes, what else will you say to defend against foreign enemies? I am afraid that it will be more difficult just to maintain the current stable situation on the frontier.
Zhenguo Gong's father and son were immediately angry. They used to appreciate Du Boqin's in-laws, but now they only feel that they are blind, and they don't even realize that this is not only a white-eyed wolf, but also a poisonous snake?!
When did the Zhou family treat him badly? Knowing that his talent was not very top-notch, but also for the sake of his wife and the Yue family, he was promoted to the position of the commander of the first guard, because he was afraid that he would not be able to handle military affairs, and sent capable people to Chang'an to assist the avant-garde until he could take charge alone. The Zhou family didn't let him continue to rise, because with his qualifications and military merits, it was already a little reluctant to be the commander of the guard, and it would be too out of line to go up, and he couldn't cope with it with his talent, who knew that he actually felt that the Zhou family was hindering his future? ! Did he think that with his true ability, he could really rise further? Or do you think that Sun Ge always rushes at his talent, so he will win him over?!
What is a great position for a senior officer in the Ministry of War? Without military power, no matter how great the prestige is, it is empty. Since the Northwest Frontier Army found a way to earn money in exchange for military rations and military funds, there is no need to look at the face of the military department. Could it be that the Zhou family didn't listen to the orders of the Ministry of War, and the secretary of the Ministry of War dared to touch the military power in the hands of the Zhou family? !
This kind of official position, if the Zhou family is interested, are they afraid that they will not be able to do it? It's just that they have always guarded their duties as border troops and have never entered Beijing. Unexpectedly, Du Boqin planned so many conspiracies and tricks, and planned to plot against the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army in one go, for such an official position, it was a joke!
He might as well open his mouth to Zhenguo directly, saying that he wants to serve in the military department and make an internal response to the Northwest Frontier Army in the DPRK!
If he really opened this mouth, Zhen Guogong would definitely help him realize his dream, and he didn't need to kill or harm anyone at all, and he didn't need to send his only son as a hostage!
Look at the wishful thinking of the Sun family, they only need to send a few dead soldiers, and then promise a position as a high-ranking official in the military department, and don't worry about anything else, Du Boqin can cover it all. The plan failed, the Sun family only lost a few dead soldiers, and it was only Du Boqin who was responsible; But if the plan is successful, the Sun family will be able to deal a serious blow to the political enemy Zhou family, and it can also cause heavy losses to the northwest border army. What they sent Sun Yonglu to do in the past ten years has not been done, and a Du Boqin has done it, which is simply blood gain!
As for what adverse effects this ruthless approach will have on the border army and the people of Dachu? I'm afraid that Elder Sun Ge and his family won't think about it at all, right?
Zhen Guogong really felt that his previous attitude towards Du Boqin was too kind. In view of his malice towards the generals in Chang'an City, the Zhenguo Mansion could not let him go so easily, and let him continue to stay in the position of the commander of the avant-garde in Chang'an until the imperial court ordered him to be dismissed.
What if Elder Sun Ge tried to obstruct the dismissal in the court and let him stay in office?
What if Elder Sun Ge directly transfers someone to the Ministry of War as a senior official?
Although the Northwest Frontier Army doesn't need to look at the face of the military department now, if such a poisonous snake gets off and rises unharmed, who can swallow this breath?!
Governor Huang personally went to the Zhenguo Mansion to deliver a confession, and his face was not very good-looking. He is actually an official that the emperor values a lot, and Jane is in the emperor's heart. If there is no accident, after his six-year term in Chang'an expires, he will return to Beijing and enter Dali Temple. After staying up for many years, it is also possible to enter the cabinet to pay respects. He thinks that he has served as a local parent official for many years, and he has seen the sinister hearts of people, but he has to admit that today is an eye-opener.
A wicked person like Du Boqin, who has taken advantage of the benefits and achieved fame, but also has evil intentions, gets along with his colleagues affectionately and warmly every day, and calls him a brother and a brother for decades, but secretly plots to kill his brothers, sons and nephews, is really rare in the world.
It's a pity that such a wicked person actually has a connection with the emperor's henchmen, and conspired with the other party to make a plan to harm people.
Even if the Huang Governor's Mansion didn't wait to see Du Boqin again, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only bite the bullet and ask the Zhenguo Gong in a low voice to ask him not to publicize this matter, lest the generals in the northwest mistakenly think that the Sun family had the emperor's acquiescence to plan such a mad conspiracy.
In the past, the emperor's favor and belief in the Sun family and his harshness to the Northwest Frontier Army left too deep an impression on the Northwest military and civilians. Not to mention the Zhou family, it is the henchmen around Huang Zhifu, after listening to Wang Laoliu's confession, he can't help but wonder if the Sun family's move is really not the emperor's intention?
However, the Sun family and Du Boqin are very sure that after the matter is completed, the latter will definitely be able to get the official position he wants, and the former will definitely be able to install his own people in the Northwest Frontier Army. If they say that they have no emperor's instructions behind them, who will believe it? The military and civilians in the northwest did not know how much authority the senior officials of the imperial court and the chief assistant of the cabinet could have, they only knew that the imperial court was the emperor's final say.
However, Huang Zhifu was sure that the emperor could not do such an insidious and vicious thing, and it must be Sun Ge Lao who relied on the holy favor to make his own assertions. He will definitely write a secret letter to the emperor in the future, and tell Sun Ge Lao and Du Boqin fiercely. But before that, he had to make sure that the Zhenguo Mansion didn't misunderstand the Holy Lord.
Of course, the Zhenguo Mansion will not be misunderstood. If the emperor wanted to move the entire northwest border army, it would be impossible for Tao Yue not to receive any rumors. Even if it is for the safety of his best friend Xie Wenzai, Tao Yue will definitely inform the Zhou family after receiving the letter. Even the Sun family and Zhen Guogong suspected that they might just have the idea of harming the outstanding children of the Zhou family, and it would only be Du Boqin who really thought of implicating the children of the generals of the Chang'an family.
Only he, born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an, knows what grievances and hatreds each family has in private, and can provoke the relationship between each family to the greatest extent. Otherwise, if the two families with excellent relations encounter a child who "accidentally" falls off the horse, no matter how sad and sad they are, they will not easily turn against each other, then Du Boqin's provocation will not be in vain?
Zhen Guogong knew this in his heart, and in the face of Huang Zhifu, he was also telling the truth. He knew that all this was not the emperor's order, so the Sun family's malice towards the Zhou family and the entire northwest border army was even more intolerable.
This is not a matter of the Zhou family's surname. The Northwest Frontier Army has always been loyal to Great Chu. For the sake of personal gain, the Sun family did not hesitate to harm many generals of the Northwest Frontier Army and their families, even if his family members could be lucky enough to take charge of the Northwest Frontier Army in the future, would they really be able to loyally submit to the emperor?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, the same conspiracy will be used on the heads of the powerful clans in the capital.
