Chapter 14: The Chess Player

Ningyuan Battalion.

Yan Xun walked all the way into the hall.

In the hall, a chamberlain dressed in a large inner government mansion and wearing a black gauze crown is standing in the center with his back to the door, as if he is looking at the dark clouds and snow embroidered on the brocade screen.

Yan Xun arrived before he arrived: "What did you want Gonggong Liu to come in person?" ”

Liu Yankun turned around when he heard this, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Our family is here to give the little general good news! Congratulations to the general, General Hexi, the official family has a new decree today, to hand over the position of commander of the Imperial City Division to you! ”

"Give it to me?"

Yan Xun was stunned, a little surprised.

Liu Yankun seemed to have guessed his reaction a long time ago, put down the tea in his hand, took two steps closer, his voice and expression were the same, and there were words in his words: "Our family knows the concerns in your heart, this son was originally Feng Biao wanted to sit, but now he is not dead, this is because he has no such life, and he can't complain about others, you sit safely, it is the will of the official family, who dares to say anything?" ”

That's pretty clear. Feng Biao, who was originally going to be promoted to the commander of the Imperial City Division, is gone, and the biggest suspicion is now on Gao Shu's head, and now in such a tense situation, the official family suddenly ordered him to take over this position.

Liu Yankun glanced at him: "The general is a smart man, why bother himself?" The holy will is unpredictable, you and I, as courtiers, only need to do our best to solve the worries of the officials. ”

Yan Xun said: "I am tired of my father-in-law running to tell me, I have my own sense of proportion. ”

After sending Liu Yankun away, Yan Xun was not in a hurry to return.

He hasn't figured out what the official family means, Feng Biao died strangely, although the murderer has not yet been found, but now all kinds of disadvantages have fallen on their side, at this juncture, he suddenly ordered him to take over Feng Biao's position, is he trying to balance the situation, or do he want to add firewood to the fire?

Han Yan, who had always been waiting outside, saw that everyone from the palace had left, so he hurriedly walked in, and when he saw the commission on the table and Yan Xun's expression, he guessed in his heart.

"Master, what's wrong?"

After a long time, Yan Xun spoke up: "The Imperial City Division is in charge of the security of Shangjing, its importance is self-evident, although I am in command of Ning Yuan's army, but I have been stationed outside before this, I am not very familiar with the defense of Shangjing, and I have no experience in handling cases and prisons, even if Feng Biao is dead, there are other more suitable candidates for this position than me, why did the official family point to me?" ”

Han Yan was also puzzled: "My subordinates heard that since the death of the old commander, this seat has been hanging, and the people below are fighting fiercely, and those who form gangs and factions are now in chaos, and it is a hot potato." This Feng Biao was also forced into it by the people of Xiangguo, although the Imperial City Division Yamen is not big, there are many capable people in it, and they don't convince him very much when they hear about it. ”

"Xu is the official family trusts you, and if you want to rectify it, you can't say it?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xun's brows furrowed.

No, it's so wrong.

It is not a secret that officials in the DPRK and China form a party, and the officials know it well, but they turn a blind eye, why is this?

Because he wanted the courtiers of these two factions to check and balance each other, so that the imperial power could be consolidated and no one family would dominate and threaten the royal rule.

But now, this balance has been broken with Feng Biao's death, as if someone had intervened in a game of chess that you went back and forth and disrupted the game.

There was a flash of lightning in his mind for a moment, and he suddenly figured out something.

Yan Xun finally understood what the weirdness he had always felt was all about.

It was so smooth, it all went so well.

Han Yan told him that Xie Yu was taken away by the people of Dali Temple, so he took people to chase him, and met Yun Sheng on the way, so he went to the flower building to get Yun Ni incense, and just in time to save the person just before Xie Yu was tortured......

Now that Feng Biao is dead, the murderer is obviously very likely to be on their side, but he is not affected at all, and he has taken the position of Feng Biao, who is not very popular.

It was as if it had been rehearsed in advance, and the arranger calculated their every move and then introduced them into the board he had set out step by step.

But Yan Xun knew that no one had communicated to him in advance, and all this happened naturally.

So who is this man, official? But what is the significance of the official doing this?

"Yunsheng is gone?"

"Well, let's go, I should be staring at the second lady right now, but there is no news yet."

Yan Xun nodded, his face thoughtful.
