Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 711 Hidden Killing, Hidden Hand
When I learned that my husband was going back to the customs immediately, the backyard was in an uproar.
Not to mention the three daughters of Shen Xuelin, Bushiyamala, who is extremely sensitive to this aspect, also rushed over immediately.
Originally, he was about to talk to the three daughters Shen Xue and Lin, but when he heard that Busia Mara had also arrived, Feng Ziying had no choice but to let her in.
Shen Xuelin and the other three women have all met Buhiyama La and know each other's identity. The two sides maintain a state of mutual separation, or in other words, a state of mutual respect between wells and rivers.
However, this was the first time for us to meet in such a formal setting.
Bushiyamala is not embarrassed at all. The child is already so old. She feels that her current living situation is quite good. She has no intention of staying with Feng Ziying all day long. On the contrary, this semi-separated state makes her feel that the two of them are
The love between them becomes more lingering and stronger, and when they are together for a long time, it is easy to get tired of each other.
After nodding with Shen Xuelin, Busiyamala went straight to the point: "Ziying, why do you want to return to the capital so suddenly, but something happened in the capital?"
Feng Ziying also had a headache. She originally wanted to explain it to Shen Xuelin and the other three girls so that they wouldn't have to worry too much, but in the face of Bushiyamala's questioning, it was difficult for such words to work.
However, he has to admit that the three women, Shen Xue and Lin, have been with him for so many years. Their mental state should be much stronger, and they should be mentally prepared for certain unexpected situations. It is time for them to understand the turmoil in the court.
The clouds are treacherous and risky.
"Well, you are all here, so I won't hide it from you. At present, the situation I have is not clear yet, but some signs have come out. Master Qi is in poor health, and some ministers in the cabinet have some ideas.
In addition, the lieutenants of the army are also somewhat dissatisfied, and the emperor may also have some other ideas. These situations are entangled together. I am worried that some unpredictable variables will occur. Liaodong is too far away, and it is difficult to respond to these variables in a timely manner.
I am the Governor of Ji Liao and I have been staying in Liaodong for two years. It is time to go to Ji Town to have a look."
Feng Ziying's tone was very calm, and the content of his words was a bit unclear, but several women still heard something sinister in his words.
There are disputes within the cabinet, dissatisfaction in the army, and the emperor's ideas. When these three are combined, it's a surefire way to cause trouble.
Something is going to happen, but my husband still has to go to Beijing, and he has to throw himself into the whirlpool, or maybe he has thrown himself into a trap.
Of course they don't want their husband to be in danger, but they also know that in this case, their husband will definitely go and they can't stay out of it.
"Mr. sir, is there any danger?" Shen Yixiu asked the most concerned question on behalf of the two daughters Xue Lin.
"It should be said that there are definitely risks, but after all, I am also from the Ministry of War. I still have some influence on the armies in the capital. Ji Town is also close to Chi Chi. If anyone wants to go against me, I am afraid it will be self-destruction.
Now." Feng Ziying was full of confidence, "I have also made arrangements in advance, so you don't have to worry."
The ladies also know that Feng Ziying's most important thing in the past few years is the relationship with military officers in the army. From being the governor of Shaanxi to serving as the Minister of War, as a scholar, Xianggong has spent a lot of energy on cultivating and arranging military generals in the army.
Far better than wooing scholars and civil servants, everyone thought that perhaps it was the husband's martial arts background that kept him from forgetting his roots, but Bushiyamala knew that the army was the best talisman to protect himself at critical moments, and in many cases it was even more important.
It's a killer weapon.
Feng Ziying firmly remembers the great man's saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. In this era, holding military power means being number one in the world.
Of course, how to control military power in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a more complicated definition. In theory, the Minister of War should be in charge of military power, but the Minister of War and the ministers are all civil servants. They do not directly lead the troops, but through military generals.
He leads the army, but the military generals both hate and fear civil servants. It can be said that there are very few civil servants who are truly recognized and respected by the military commanders. In this regard, even Sun Chengzong, the now prestigious Minister of War, is far inferior to Feng Ziying.
It can be said that Feng Ziying's military background, her father's long-term service in the military in various places, Feng Ziying's participation in many wars and the concerted efforts of military generals to win many wars, and his resume as Minister of War, made him recommended and promoted.
A large number of generals allowed Feng Ziying to gain high prestige and influence in the military at the age of more than 20 years old.
"My lord, you still need to be careful. The situation in Beijing is not as good as in the local area, especially the disputes involving the emperor and the cabinet..." Shen Yixiu was a little worried and looked at her husband, "If Qi Xiang is in poor health and there is unrest internally, then this
There is no leader in the court. Once a dispute breaks out, the army will probably have different opinions. If something unpredictable happens, it is inevitable that the swords will fight..."
Shen Yixiu's words made both Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu look worried. Now we are all members of a big family with children. Maybe there are still some small differences between each other, but in the face of big right and wrong, the three of them are still quite united.
Yes, without the husband-in-law, the foundation of the family will fall. This is absolutely unacceptable.
"Don't worry, I know it well. I have a lot of girls here, a lot of beautiful wives and concubines. The good days will be long in the future. How can I take risks?" Feng Ziying comforted the girls, "Besides, I can't enter the capital.
, at most, I just take a look around the capital to understand the changes in the situation. Well, the troops from Hushan (Huang Degong) and Kunshan (Zuo Liangyu) are currently stationed there. It is reasonable for me to go and inspect.
."
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, the girls felt a little relieved. Especially Lin Daiyu knew that her husband and Zuo Liangyu were close friends of life and death, and Huang Degong was promoted by her husband on his own recommendation. He can be called a confidant. Now Huang Degong is already a general.
Zuo Liangyu was also a guerrilla, both of them had a lot of troops, and he was also the first elite member of the Jizhen army to change their uniforms.
After settling down all the women in the backyard, Feng Ziying also told Liu Dongyang, Zheng Chongjian and Yang Sichang, and she took Wu Yaoqing, He Huchen, Busia Mara and others and set off, heading straight to the capital along the Western Liaoning Corridor.
*******
Sun Shaozu returned to Beijing quietly.
As Liaodong's war against Jianzhou came to an end, the Ministry of War listed the threat of the Chahar people as the most important issue at the moment. In other words, Feng Ziying's round battle pattern in Liaodong brought down the Jianzhou Army, setting the stage for the final
It laid a good foundation to deal with the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and this method made the people in the Ministry of War feel that it could be used as a reference.
The Tumut people are now at peace again, Su Nang is honest, and the fortune-telling rabbit is closer to Zhou.
Then the soldiers and horses from towns such as Yulin, Shanxi, and Ganning can continue to be brought to Ji Town and Xuanfu for rotation training, or they can directly display the horses and horses, which is to use the small-scale attack on the Chahar people.
The war is also a way to use offense instead of defense to weaken the strength of the Chahar people and prevent them from attacking the capital when the autumn is high.
This was the strategy proposed by Xiong Tingbi. Sun Chengzong was noncommittal, but Li Sancai agreed. Therefore, part of the troops from the three towns of Shanxi, Datong, and Yulin took turns to fight in the areas under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu and Jizhen.
Sun Shaozu has led a group of soldiers and horses to the front line of Ningyuan Fort and Dishuiya Fort in Xuanfu, and is preparing to continue eastward to the front line of Sihaizhi, where they will fight every year.
It was a serious crime to sneak into the capital without permission, but Sun Shaozu didn't care.
Wealth is sought in danger, and since Niu Jizong dares to take a chance, why doesn't he dare?
After entering the city, Sun Shaozu walked around the city to make sure that no one from Long Jinwei was following him, and then he quietly arrived at a house near Ertiao Hutong. Someone had already followed him.
"Shaozu is here?" Niu Jizong picked up the teapot and was making tea with great enthusiasm.
"Your Excellency, are you so leisurely?" Sun Shaozu saluted with a smile on his face, "It looks like there is something happy going on."
"Haha, it's a happy event. It depends on how you say it. It may turn into a bad thing, a disaster or even a funeral." Niu Jizong shook his head, "Sit down, have you brought all the people and horses?"
"Sir, here we are. For the round battle, we must choose the most elite and fittest. We have arrived at Dishuiya Fort. We will take a short rest and head to the front line of Sihaizhi the next day. It is estimated that we will arrive in five days." Sun Shaozu pondered.
After a moment, he said, "This is Liu Wei's territory. I haven't had much dealings with this person. Do you know the details?"
"Haha, his father Liu Xian used to be the crown prince's Taibao, and he was the martial arts teacher of the current emperor. I also know him, but he passed away many years ago. I also know him, but to be honest, I don't have much dealings with him. As for how the emperor interacts with him
I don’t know who got on the line, he and the emperor should be family friends, but Liu Wei has been in Liaodong before, so..."
Niu Jizong didn't hide anything, and he didn't expect that the emperor could actually win Liu Wei over. From this look, Li Sancai should be just a cover. No wonder he came back from Liaodong directly to become the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu.
No matter how I looked at it at the time, I thought it was a bit incredible. The performance of the Liaodong generals was mediocre, and Zhao Shujiao was not reused. I didn't expect that Liu Wei could still be promoted.
It was thought that Liu Wei got on Li Sancai's line and got Li Sancai's support. Even Sun Chengzong was not stubborn. However, his father's connections also played some role, and even Qi Yongtai did not express any objection.
"Is it credible?" Sun Shaozu was still not at ease.
"The emperor has suffered so many losses. If he doesn't make progress, he is really doomed." Niu Jizong sneered, "This opportunity may only come once in his life, and it is related to his lineage.
The inheritance of the throne is also related to whether he will be a puppet emperor or a veritable supreme king. Do you think he would dare if he is not completely sure?"
Sun Shaozu sighed quietly, "It's not that I'm not worried, but the cabinet has too much power and the preparations are too thorough. Without the Xuanfu Army, everything else would be in vain. Both the Beijing Camp and the Shangsanqin Army are all Feng Ziying
The foundation laid in the past two years would be impossible to move without his greetings."
