Chapter 2043 Gui Zi Juan returns home with a distinguished voice
Duan Laosan felt secretly worried about the assassination of Feng Ziying in Xuanfu Town.
As a descendant of the Duan family, he thinks a little deeper.
Feng Duanyi is already the undisputed overlord of the wealthy families in Datong, but there are still many people who are dissatisfied, or want to replace him, such as the Ma family and the Ma family.
Needless to say, the Ma family should not be underestimated. The Ma family in Yuzhou was also born in martial arts. Ma Fang, Ma Dong, Ma Chun and Ma Lin were all loyal, brave and brave people.
Now Feng Ziying rose to prominence and transformed from a military officer to a civil servant, and also became an imperial envoy to patrol Shaanxi.
Although he is the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Shaanxi have always been closely connected, and because the three towns of Sanbian and Four Towns and the three towns of Xuanda are facing the Mongolian threat, they interact more frequently. It is common for generals to exchange posts, so as the concurrent minister of the Ministry of War and Feng Ziying, who serves as the Censor of the Capital Procuratorate, naturally has a certain influence on Shanxi.
The Feng and Duan families are naturally very happy about Feng Ziying's rising status, but it is inevitable that many people are not willing to see this situation.
This attack on Feng Ziying at Sandaoling between Xuanfu Town and Datong Town was indeed something Duan Laosan had never thought of.
He thought that this journey should be peaceful and uneventful. There were almost continuous forts and towns along the route. Even though it was a mountain road, the soldiers and horses in the army were often kings. Plus Feng Ziying's bodyguards and horses, ordinary horse bandits and bandits were there. How many people dare to stroke the tiger's beard?
But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and it was only a short distance away from the jurisdiction of Datong Town. This had to make him think more.
Maybe there are still some blind people in the Shanxi-Shaanxi border who don’t want Feng Ziying to patrol Shaanxi?
His thoughts kept changing, but Duan Laosan's expression remained unchanged: "The mess in Xuan Mansion has not yet had a general soldier, so let's not talk about it, but if this kind of thing happens again in our Datong Town boundary, just I'm afraid that Mr. Yang is not to blame. If it happens on our territory, the commander-in-chief may want to take action on you and me."
Zhao Er is also stunned.
This is true. The Xuanfu side is leaderless and can be blamed. Yang Yuan on the Datong side cannot be pushed. If something goes wrong, he must find a scapegoat, but he cannot make trouble happen in his own territory.
"My Yongjia Fort is only such a big place. If Mr. Feng wants to leave, we, Old Zhao, will personally lead a group of brothers to send him out of the realm. I don't believe there is anyone in this realm who dares to seek death." Zhao Er He said it casually, but he was serious in his heart.
The imperial envoy governor also held the titles of Minister of War and Imperial Censor. He could not move except generals at the level of general and deputy general. He had the right to directly deprive military power of military generals such as generals and guerrillas.
Even the officials at the level of the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief have the same right to impeach, but they must obtain the approval of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, after he is impeached and before the Metropolitan Procuratorate makes a decision, if the Commander-in-Chief or Deputy Commander-in-Chief is impeached, If someone is impeached but refuses to resign from office, and if he is found guilty afterwards, he will be punished with an additional penalty, which can be described as overwhelming power.
Of course this place belongs to Datong Town, and the governor of Shaanxi Province has not come here, but no one wants to offend such an awesome person.
"Haha, it's definitely no problem to do this. Maybe the Commander-in-Chief will praise you for your prudent work." Duan Laosan chuckled, "Let's go, I have to pay a visit to Master Feng, who is my cousin. I don’t know if people still remember me as a distant relative.”
The group entered the fort.
Feng Ziying and his party had just gotten up and washed up.
Having finally entered Yonga Castle, it was natural to take a good rest.
This fort is much smaller than Jimingyi, and unlike Jimingyi, it does not have various shops inside. It is a purely military fort. In addition to the garrison, there is only a small inn that only receives officials, generals and envoys. There is no There were a lot of people waiting, and some shops and houses were outside the fort.
After the torment and fright of the first night, the female relatives also need to take a rest. Unlike modern times, when they travel thousands of miles, they are prone to illness. Feng Ziying also pays attention to this aspect.
In addition, Wu Yaoqing and the others also wanted to interrogate the captured prisoners, so they simply stayed at Yongjia Fort for one day.
"Who?" Yuchuan'er was wiping and washing Feng Ziying's face. Next to her, Ping'er was dressing Feng Ziying. When Qingwen came to report, Feng Ziying was a little surprised: "Your surname is Duan?"
“Well, he said he is from Datong Mansion, a relative of my wife.” Qingwen added: “I see that Zhao Caoshou, who came to visit me yesterday, is accompanying me.”
Yonga Fort is a small fort, and the officers who guard it have a moral status, which is slightly lower than the garrison status, but it can still be regarded as a unique one.
Feng Ziying thought about it for a moment. If he was sent here by his uncle, he would have to meet him.
But Feng Ziying also knew that the Duan family on her maternal uncle's side was a large clan in Datong. The Duan clan had hundreds or thousands of people at least. From Hunyuan to Datong Mansion, it was divided into several branches, spreading out and innumerable. .
But even if we count my grandfather’s generation, there are quite a few.
For example, my mother has three older brothers and one younger brother. She has at least ten or twenty cousins. Counting all of them together, I have at least a large number of cousins.
Like Duan Xigui, they are not full cousins, but just cousins in the next room. However, over the years, this relationship has far surpassed these full cousins.
In comparison, the Feng family is really thin. There are also Feng children in Datong, but they are all distant relatives who came from Linqing.
Relying on the relationship between his father and his previous eldest and second uncles who served as general soldiers in Datong, many of the Feng Duan family's children also joined the army, but in terms of success, not many of them were successful.
Of course, the court will not allow the children of such a family to expand in a military town. If you really have the ability, go out of the town to prove it.
However, ordinary middle and low-level military attaches do not have so many particularities and taboos. In fighting tigers, brothers are brothers, and father and son are soldiers in battle. This principle is universal everywhere, so for officers below the garrison level, the children of the Feng and Duan families are still the same. Quite a few.
But above the level of defense, there are almost no intermediate generals such as guerrillas and generals, or they have to go out of town to serve.
Feng Ziying had lived in Datong since she was a child many years ago, and her impressions are already a bit blurry. There are few children in the Feng family and many in the Duan family. He still has some impressions, but there are fewer people who are close to him in age and familiar with him. Most of the Duan family and his peers are older than him, ranging from one to twenty years older to several years older.
There are only a few that I can remember now. Feng Ziying shook her head. She knew it after meeting each other. People from the Duan family are also normal. She is the legitimate son of the Feng family after all. Now she has a high position of authority, and is responsible for emotions, justice, and justice. It's time for everyone to come.
He asked Ping'er to arrange for the two guests to wait in the flower hall in the outer courtyard. Feng Ziying had some time to wash up before going out.
The one with a fierce look on his face must be a member of the Duan family. Duan Xichang must be of the same generation as himself. His name is somewhat familiar, but his face has no recollection.
“I have met the governor.” Duan Xichang, also known as Duan Laosan, stood up and saluted at the same time as Zhao Shanxing.
The governor is not just a civil servant. He is also a minister of the Ministry of War. He is also in charge of the military. He is in charge of the army and the people. This is also the reason why the status of governor and governor is unusual. It is far beyond the ordinary envoys and inspectors. This is why the imperial court has always been very cautious in appointing governors and governors.
“Without courtesy, please sit down.” Feng Ziying raised her head casually, then glanced at Duan Xichang, “Master Duan is from Datong, could he be a relative of my maternal uncle?”
Duan Xichang then nodded with a smile: "I met you ten years ago, but you were still young at that time..."
At this point, they naturally became close to each other. Only then did Zhao Shanxing confirm that this guy was really a relative and not pretending to be a relative.
After a few brief exchanges, Feng Ziying's attitude became much more friendly, and Duan Xichang felt relieved.
Although this governor, who was considered a younger cousin, had a gentle face, he carried himself with the demeanor of an imperial envoy. His tone of voice was not high, but every word was like nails piercing wood, leaving no room for doubt.
"The princes in the clan heard that you were going to pass through Datong, so they specially arranged for the general to come and stand in front of you to welcome you to Datong. However, the general heard that Zhao Caoxing said that your party was attacked in Sandaoling, so he was deeply shocked and didn't know. If there is any place where our service is needed, please give me your instructions."
Duan Xichang is still very cautious in his words. After all, he and Feng Ziying are not very familiar with each other yet.
In fact, many people in the Duan family are familiar with Feng Tang now, but there are really not many people who are familiar with Feng Ziying, because Feng Ziying was too young at that time, only a ten-year-old child, who would pay attention to him? Just a few words of praise, and then all the attention was focused on Feng Tang and his wife.
Feng Ziying pondered for a moment and then said: "It's not necessary for now, my people will take care of it, but when we get to Datong, I will negotiate with Datong Mansion to see what to do."
Datong Prefecture and Datong Town are two different systems.
Datong Prefecture governs Shuozhou, Mayi, Yingzhou, Shanyin, Huairen, Hunyuan Prefecture, Guangling, Lingqiu, Guangchang, and Yuzhou counties, while Datong Town governs Wei and Bao in the northern part of Datong Prefecture. Many of these military units are also distributed in states and counties. They are intertwined, but they are self-contained and go their own way. However, they are inseparable in daily affairs and often deal with each other.
Cui Chengxiu, the prefect of Datong, and Feng Ziying knew it, because he was from Jizhou, Shuntian Prefecture. He was a Jinshi in the 36th year of Yuanxi Dynasty. He was also a well-known scholar in Shuntian Prefecture. He was promoted to the prefect of Datong at the beginning of last year. Feng Ziying knew that this person should be through Master Qi was approached through various channels, and Wang Yongguang was also approached.
But I know this person not for these reasons, but because his name was so famous in his previous life. He was the leader of the five tigers of the **** party in the late Ming Dynasty.
