Kong Xu said to Chu Boxiong: "General Fuyuan later came to see Wei Chen."

Chu Boxiong was a little curious as to why this rough, heroic and inflexible General Fuyuan wanted to find Kong Xu.

"He asked me to plead with His Majesty on his behalf."

Chu Boxiong had a look of confusion on his face, and then slowly repeated the two words "please" that Kong Xu had just said.

"Well, I'm begging for mercy," Kong Xu paused, and then said slowly, "It is a taboo for the military commander to leave the military camp without permission."

Hearing this explanation, Chu Boxiong burst out laughing, and then said: "This stubborn donkey actually knows how to find someone to intercede. It seems that I locked him up in Kyoto Prefecture for two years, and it still has some effect."

Two years ago, Sun Jinggen was urgently transferred back to Beijing by Chu Boxiong, and Ye Liangchen, who had just debuted, was sent to the northwest to take over the Northwest Army from Sun Jinggen. Although Sun Jinggen was assigned to be in charge of the military department, it seems that

It seemed that he had been promoted, but some discerning people could really see what was going on, so this incident also caused quite a stir in the Kyoto Prefecture and the Northwest Army.

There are naturally a lot of speculations about Sun Jinggen's transfer, but it seems that apart from himself, only Chu Boxiong knows the specific reasons, but who dares to ask Chu Boxiong directly for the answer.

Someone actually asked Sun Jinggen about this matter, but Sun Jinggen also looked incomprehensible, saying that he had no idea where he had offended His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone thought it was a reason Sun Jinggen made up casually because he didn't want to say the reason. However, Sun Jinggen did not make up a reason this time because he really didn't know why Chu Boxiong transferred him back to Kyoto. After all, he stayed well in the Northwest Army.

If you are bored, you can go fight horse thieves to relieve your boredom. It is better than staying here and cheating on each other all day long.

Another key person in this matter was laughing at the hooded Kong Xu in the palace.

"Everyone in the court thought that I transferred that old guy to Kyoto because he had made some mistake. In fact, I just wanted to kill his spirit, sharpen his temper, and cause trouble for me every day in the northwest.

Let him come back and reflect on it."

Naturally, Chu Boxiong said these words to Kong Xu, but whether Kong Xu really believes it is another matter. After all,

Years of experience in officialdom told him that the matter must not be that simple.

Under the management of Sun Jinggen, the Northwest Army seems to have him as its leader. If it continues to grow like this, it may not happen that the Chu State was forced to rebel when the emperor wore a yellow robe. Moreover, Sun Jinggen was in the Northwest Army.

His prestige responds to hundreds of calls. Which king is not afraid of creating his own rebellion one day?

This is just what Kong Xu thought, and the real reason is really only known to Chu Boxiong.

"Tell that stubborn donkey to come to me in person to ask for mercy, otherwise I won't agree." After Chu Boxiong finished laughing, he said to Kong Xu, "When you leave the palace, go to the military headquarters to find him and talk to him.

Tell me what we talked about today."

Kong Xu was stunned. He didn't know what his Majesty in front of him was singing. Since he couldn't figure it out, he should just do what he said.

Kong Xu agreed and prepared to resign. After all, the reason he came to the palace was to be entrusted by Sun Jinggen to plead for mercy. Since there was no use until he begged for mercy, staying here was just a waste of time, so he thought of leaving the army early.

Let's talk to Sun Jinggen about what's going on here.

"Wei Chen excuses himself." After saying this, Kong Xu bowed his hands and walked out of the imperial study.

Just after saying this, Chu Boxiong asked again: "The eldest prince should be back soon, right?"

Kong Xu paused, and then said to Chu Boxiong: "Yes, the news just came today, the eldest prince and others have returned from Qijiazhuang, and they should enter Kyoto in the next few days."

Chu Boxiong nodded, and then said: "That's good. It seems that he has settled the matter in Qijiazhuang. When he enters Kyoto Mansion, you go and pick him up. Don't let him go back to the manor. Take him directly.

He came to the study room, and I have something to ask him."

In the twenty-seventh year of the Dali calendar, it is the twenty-fourth day of the winter month.

When Kong Xu came out of the palace, snow had begun to fall sporadically outside. There was only a carriage driver waiting for him outside the palace gate. He was pacing back and forth amidst the scattered snowflakes, as if he was using exercise to drive away the coldness on his body.

chill.

The horse pulling the cart snorted boredly, and warm mist spurted out from its mouth and nose, and then dissipated in the cold air.

Kong Xu rubbed his hands, then took the hand warmer handed over from the coachman and said to him: "Go to the military headquarters."

The carriage drove slowly, and the crisp sound of wind chimes appeared and disappeared amidst the tapping of horse hooves.

After a while, the carriage drove to the military headquarters. The guard naturally recognized the carriage of the Kyoto government office, and naturally also recognized the person who stepped out of the carriage.

"Master Kong, please wait here while I go and report to the general." A guard left in a hurry and entered the large courtyard of the military headquarters.

Naturally, Kong Xu knew that this was the rule of the military, so he didn't say anything. He just quietly waited for the results from the guards.

It didn't take long for the guard to come out, and behind him was a counselor from the military department. Kong Xu naturally recognized him.

The military counselor who came out was called Sun Shuyang. Although his surname was Sun, he had nothing to do with Fuyuan General Sun Jinggen.

"Master Kong, why are you free to come to the military headquarters?" Sun Shuyang said hello to Kong Xu with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty asked me to come."

Of course Kong Xu did not lie. When he was in the palace, Chu Boxiong did tell him this. It was just that the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. When Sun Shuyang heard that Kong Xu said that His Majesty asked him to come, Sun Shuyang

His first reaction was that the head of his military department, General Fuyuan, had caused trouble again, and he had even let His Majesty know about it.

Sun Shuyang's face changed greatly when he thought of this, and then he cautiously asked Kong Xu: "I don't know, General, how did he offend His Majesty?"

After all, the person who came to deliver the oral message last time said so, and then General Fuyuan was transferred back to Kyoto Prefecture.

Kong Xu was stunned by Sun Shuyang's expression, and then he understood that the other party might have misunderstood the purpose of his coming here, so he hurriedly explained: "General, he did not make His Majesty angry, but Your Majesty asked me to come and talk to General Fuyuan.

Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”

Hearing Kong Xu speak like this, Sun Shuyang breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered that several people were still outside the door of the military headquarters at this time, so he took Kong Xu to Sun Jinggen's study.
