Chapter 220: Falling into the Well (3)
Seeing Xia Shilang's situation, Haoxing Xiaoqi naturally thought of Song Qingfeng, the deputy commander of the forbidden army.
From this point of view, the so-called care shown by Zuo to Song Qingfeng is afraid that he has no other intentions!
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor finally let out a long "um" and said to Haoxing Mingrui: "If you go on, how does Prime Minister Zuo take care of Song Qingfeng?"
"Speaking of Lord Zuo Xiang's appreciation and respect for Song Qingfeng, there is really no comparison. Not only did he let his youngest son Leng Shiyu worship Song Qingfeng as a teacher and learn martial arts from him, but he himself also praised the young deputy commander of the forbidden army.
Last time, he ordered the forbidden army to ambush the Beirong spy Duxiaoqiong outside the city, but Zuo Xiang actually handed over the talisman directly to the deputy commander Song Qingfeng, instead of the general commander Zhao Zhan.
In addition, this time, the commander of the forbidden army was vacant, and Prime Minister Zuo did not propose a suitable candidate to His Majesty to fill the vacancy, but on the other hand, he let Song Qingfeng always act as the commander. ”
After saying this, Haoxing Mingrui stopped, and his face showed an expression of awe of the scheming Zuo Xiang.
Haoxing Xiaoqi was a little inexplicable by what he said, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the only one?" Let Song Qingfeng teach his son to practice martial arts, most of which is meant to be entrapped. As for the ambush of Beirong's spies and acting as the commander, the left minister also reported to me very clearly. So what is Song Xingye worried about?"
Hearing the disapproval in the emperor's tone, Haoxing Mingrui did not rush to explain, but secretly glanced at Zheng Yong next to him, thought about it, and said carefully: "Last time, because of the forbidden army's ambush of Duxiaoqiong with the left military talisman, Commander Zhao seemed to have a lot of misunderstanding with Song Qingfeng, and the two also had a dispute in front of some forbidden army generals.
And now that the commander of Zhao is dead, but Song Qingfeng is acting as the commander, it is inevitable that some people in the forbidden army will think that he is a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and they must have dissatisfaction with him in their hearts.
If there are those who covet the position of this great commander to take the opportunity to instigate trouble and deliberately create trouble, it is very likely that Song Qingfeng, who is still shallow, will be left and right, or even make mistakes in the chaos.
In fact, the matter of acting as the commander was to let Song Qingfeng take his responsibilities, but he did not have any real power, and it seemed that he was cooking oil and hot, but in fact he was in a very embarrassing situation.
And if something goes wrong, he, the temporary commander, will inevitably be punished for dereliction of duty.
As for teaching Leng Shiyu, the son of Zuo Xiang, to practice martial arts, on the surface, this is indeed a good thing. However, when you think about it deeply, there is really a big mystery in it.
Outsiders don't know the inside story, and they all think that this is Song Qingfeng's intention to curry favor with the left minister, and they will inevitably have contempt for him.
And Song Qingfeng is so entrusted by the Zuo Xiang, he will not suspect that the other party has hidden evil intentions for him, and if he neglects to take precautions, he is likely to fall into the trap of the Zuo Xiang and still ignorance.
It was precisely because he thought of all the terrible things in this that Song Xingye was worried that his son would cause trouble because of this, so he came to ask his brother for help. ”
After listening to Haoxing Mingrui's words, Haoxing Xiaoqi nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
At this moment, there were other thoughts in his mind.
Song Xingye was worried about his son, so what he saw from this incident was a crisis.
But in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, there is a great mystery in this, and it can even be said to be an opportunity!
In fact, if you think about it, the current situation is not only not bad, but also very much to his liking!
Due to the cold reason, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Zuo Xiang Leng Yiqing, and he was unwilling to put all the military and political power in his hands.
Therefore, when the post of commander of the forbidden army was vacant this time, he had already made up his mind that he would never use anyone recommended by Leng Yiqing.
But he himself couldn't think of any suitable candidate for a while, so the matter was shelved until now.
And now he suddenly knew that Song Qingfeng not only had a holiday with Leng Yiqing, but also had a relationship with Han Bing similar to that of a rival.
In addition, there is also a very important point that if the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Jingguo Mansion form a family, it will also be a force that is enough to balance the cold clothes of the left minister.
Thinking of this, Haoxing Xiaoqi's face couldn't help but show an unfathomable and profound smile.
With an almost soft gaze, he looked at the Seventh Emperor Brother in front of him who had brought him good news, and said gently: "What you say today is indeed very important. After you go back this time, you go and tell Song Xingye that you don't have to worry too much, I will weigh it carefully and make arrangements for the position of the commander of the forbidden army as soon as possible. ”
Haoxing Mingrui hurriedly bowed down, and then quickly retired and left very interestingly.
Zheng Yong, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, squinted a pair of small eyes, stared at the back of Prince Ding leaving in a hurry for a long time, and secretly sneered in his heart, it seems that this Li Jin is really a person with a keen sense of smell!
I don't know how he saw that the emperor had become alienated from Leng Yiqing, and he could see the opportunity so quickly, and he ran to the emperor to tell the truth. This trick fell into the well, but he used it very well!
It seems that the good days of the cold-clothed father and son are indeed coming to an end.
The more beautiful it is, the more jealous and hateful it is, and on the day when the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, it will definitely make this embarrassed father and son die without a place to be buried!
............................................................
On the second day, the decree was given.
Song Qingfeng, the general of Weiyuan, personally led the forbidden army to ambush the spies who entered Beirong a few days ago, and was meritorious in guarding the holy driver, so he was promoted to the commander of the forbidden army because of his merits.
In less than a year, this ordinary general with the rank of fourth rank was directly promoted to the commander of the forbidden army from the second rank, and it seems that only the word "steady progress" can describe the promotion of the young Song Qingfeng.
As soon as the news came out, the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate and give gifts.
And to the satisfaction of these gift-givers, Song Qingfeng, the newly promoted commander of the forbidden army, is not at all as unsympathetic as his father Song Houye. He actually stood in front of the hall in person, smiling and greeting all the guests, extremely courteous and polite.
Lord Zuo Xiang's cold clothes naturally sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.
It's just that Han Bing, who was supposed to go to the door to congratulate his father, suddenly disappeared halfway through for some reason. As a result, the congratulatory gift of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion was actually sent into the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion by a small second housekeeper.
Seeing this embarrassing scene, Song Qingfeng, who received the gift, didn't care at all, and still thanked him in person for a few weeks.
However, after Lord Zuo Xiang learned of this, he was so angry that he smashed an extremely valuable ancient inkstone in the study on the spot!
