Since Xue Zhinong had been sent abroad and became a general, Wei Feng now became the commander of the guards guarding the palace. Since Wei Feng and Wu Chengying were childhood friends, they had a very close relationship, although Wei Feng did not have any objections at all.
evidence, but Wu Shigong temporarily suspended him and asked Quan Dashan to take over the post of commander of the bodyguards.
Quan Dashan is one of the few generals in the army who does not have any faction. In addition, he once served as the deputy commander of Wu Shigong's personal army, so Wu Shigong now trusts him. Of course, there is another general in Beijing.
The person who had no faction and was more trusted by Wu Shigong was Wu Shigong's apprentice Tao Xin. But Tao Xin had now become Wu Shigong's son-in-law. Wu Shigong was afraid that he would become powerful, so he made repeated choices. In the end, Wu Shigong chose Quan Dashan.
The guards who are now following Quan Dashan were all selected by Wu Shigong. They are all guards officers who came from the boy camp. These young guards of Wu Shigong will assist Quan Dashan and control the guard troops as quickly as possible.
As for Wu Shigong now, the most urgent thing he has to do is to ensure his own safety. Wu Shigong is very confident: even if some officials and military officers have evil intentions, as long as he exists, no troops will dare to move. So Wu Shigong first
Let Quan Dashan control his own bodyguards to protect himself and his family.
Wu Shigong sat quietly in the royal study, waiting for Quan Dashan and the others to return. After a while, Quan Dashan came back to resume his duties. Wu Shigong asked softly: "What? Did everything go smoothly?"
"Everything went well. Commander Wei did not put up any resistance at all. Now the general has sent people to guard him." Quan Dashan replied.
Then Quan Dashan thought of Wei Feng's surprised, confused and dull face when he heard the imperial edict. A feeling of sadness arose in his heart. Now Quan Dashan felt that Wu Shigong had become the emperor.
, has become farther and farther away from him. And Wu Shigong's joy and anger bring the feeling of heaven and hell to the people around him. Quan Dashan not only remembered a sentence - Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.
Wu Shigong seemed to feel Quan Dashan's mood. He glanced at Quan Dashan, and then told Ye Zhong beside him: "Send someone to talk to Xiao Fengzi again to reassure him! If nothing happens, I won't do anything to him.
How is he? But...but after spring, he should be released outside. Hey——!"
Wu Shigong thought of Wei Feng's father, Wei Changlin, and the relationship between Wei Feng and Wu Chengying. He could only sigh in his heart. Sometimes people really can't help their fate! Wei Feng will never lack wealth in his life, but what about his future?
That's simply too slim.
Then Wu Shigong asked Ye Zhongdao: "Are everything ready?"
Ye Zhong immediately nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty! Everything is ready." Then he signaled to Wu Shigong and pointed to a food box in the corner of the imperial study room.
Wu Shigong looked at the food box and was silent for a while. Then he made up his mind, slapped the desk and stood up, saying, "Okay! Let's go! Go to Song Guogong's Mansion."
After the founding of the Ping Dynasty, Xue Yongli was the first in military merit, so he was named Song Guogong in the name of Guide, the place where the Runing Army started. Wu Shigong was going to visit Xue Yongli next.
Although the handover of military power in Quan Dashan just now went smoothly and did not take much time, the atmosphere in the palace began to become depressing. After all, it was impossible for this matter to escape the eyes and ears of all the guards. Fortunately, this
The guards were basically Wu Shigong's cronies, so under strict orders, the news was effectively sealed in the palace.
So when Wu Shigong walked out of the palace in plain clothes, he felt as if there were two heavens inside and outside the palace. People outside the palace were laughing and laughing, and there was an atmosphere of a festival. They had no idea what was about to happen.
A carriage had been parked outside the palace gate, and a large group of guards and eunuchs had been prepared. Wu Shigong looked towards the side of the group and saw Li Zhu, director of the Mountain and River Bureau, and several officers in charge of Beijing's city defense standing aside.
Wu Shigong nodded to them, and then got into the carriage. After receiving the order, Li Zhu and the others immediately ran wildly outside.
Next, the city defense troops will control various key points in Beijing and, under the leadership of spies from the Shanchuan Bureau, will arrest those young officers who are fleeing.
The Duke's Mansion of Song Dynasty was not far from the palace. After a while, Wu Shigong arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Upon learning of Wu Shigong's arrival, the middle door of the Duke's Mansion was opened wide, and Xue Yongli took his whole family out to greet him.
"Your Majesty! Why did you think of coming to Wei Chen's Mansion today?" Xue Yongli didn't know that something was going on, so he spoke to Wu Shigong very casually.
"I'm so excited that I want to have a drink with Uncle Wynn. What's the matter? Uncle Wynn doesn't welcome me?" Wu Shigong also said with a smile.
"How could that happen? Please come quickly! Please come quickly!"
After some salutes and greetings, a table of wine and food was quickly prepared in Song Guogong's house, and Wu Shigong and Xue Yongli also sat at the same table and had a drink, leaving only Ye Zhong in the room to serve. The two began to chat and review
In the past, the atmosphere was quite lively, and Xue Yongli was in a very happy mood.
After talking for a while, Wu Shigong suddenly asked: "Uncle Yongli! Some of the officers who went to Beijing this time want to give military advice. Do you know?"
This sudden question suddenly woke Xue Yongli from his drink. He hurriedly answered and stammered: "What is it...so bold! Your Majesty! Who is it?"
Wu Shigong stared into Xue Yongli's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then began to announce his names one by one.
Xue Yongli broke out in a cold sweat as he heard these names being read out from Wu Shigong's mouth. These officers were all closely related to the generals of the Xue family.
He already had doubts about Xue Yongli.
In panic, Xue Yongli immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and argued: "Your Majesty, you see clearly! This matter has nothing to do with Wei Chen! Wei Chen would never dare to have such evil intentions."
"Hey——!" Wu Shigong sighed, then stood up, pulled up Xue Yongli who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "I also know that you don't know. Of course I will believe you."
After hearing this, Xue Yongli was stunned for a moment. Then he could only thank him repeatedly, but could not say anything else.
But what Wu Shigong said suddenly sent Xue Yongli into hell: "Uncle Yongli! You should have an explanation for this matter! I thought about it, you should commit suicide!"
"Ah!?" Xue Yongli almost suspected that he was hallucinating. After an attempted military remonstrance that had nothing to do with him, Wu Shigong actually wanted to commit suicide? Where was Wu Shigong, who was having fun with him just now, drinking and chatting?
?
But Wu Shigong still looked calm. He nodded to Xue Yongli and affirmed: "That's right! Commit suicide!"
