Sun Chengzong was silent.
No matter who you are, it is difficult to tolerate and let go of this kind of thing easily.
Warriors are no better than civil servants, and everyone is more tolerant of civil servants.
For people like Li Sancai, Tang Binyin and Zhang Jingqiu, after their defeat, they would simply become officials and retire into seclusion, returning to work as country squires. However, if they were military officers, they would probably have to face military law.
Even if Zhang Jin, Ma Chengxun and others can "repent" and "turn back in time", they can avoid the death penalty but cannot escape the living crime. They are deprived of their military positions and demoted to civilians. These are all indispensable.
“Ziying, it’s better to think more carefully. In this matter, we have some relationship with me. If we had been more secure in our personnel arrangements, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.”
Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time and then said: "In addition, Liu Wei's Xuanfu army has also entered Shuntianfu territory. This kind of behavior is also against the rules. How do you deal with it?"
Feng Ziying was also worried about this matter.
The Xuanfu army has experienced several waves of turbulence and it is really not suitable for another turmoil. However, when Liu Wei led his army into Longhu Terrace without the order of the Ministry of War, it meant that he embarked on a road of no return.
No matter how the Xuanfu Army is doing at Huailaiwei and Yulinbao, the Ministry of War can't say anything about the Xuanfu Army. That is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Army, but entering Longhu Terrace, even if it is only a few dozen miles away, is different. .
Longhutai is the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.
Liu Wei didn’t understand what this meant, but he did it anyway.
“Let’s take a look and then talk.” Feng Ziying sighed.
Liu Wei and his father had deep connections in the court, otherwise he would not have been promoted from deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong to commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and Li Sancai would not have selected him.
So this matter is not easy to deal with.
Liu Wei's heart sank when the scouts came to report that the Jizhen Army was stationed in Qinghedian.
Although it is unclear how many Jizhen troops are present in Qinghedian, it was not discovered a few days ago that there were Jizhen troops stationed overnight. Moreover, according to the scout report, they had put up a defensive posture. It was obvious that there were Come targeted.
At the same time, the other side has also sent forwards to negotiate, asking for the Ministry of War order to enter the capital.
Shuntian Prefecture is Jizhen’s defense line. Even if Xuanfu is very close, Wandu Division, Bao’an Prefecture, and Yanqing Prefecture are all considered Xuan Prefecture’s defense lines. However, these prefectures and counties of Shuntian Prefecture are not Xuan Prefecture’s defense lines. Your Xuanfu army sets foot on Shuntian Prefecture. For the land boundary, a warrant from the Ministry of War is required.
Liu Wei didn't think about how to deal with the negotiators sent by the Jizhen Army. What made him feel even more ominous was that Sun Shaozu's troops of the Datong Army, which had been marching on the flank, also began to behave strangely. They suddenly accelerated from the flank, and then They suddenly stopped and set up camp along the Wenyu River, and also assumed a posture of attacking westward.
The Jizhen Army is in Qinghedian. If you want to assume an attack posture, you should go south. Why do you move west instead? Isn't this targeting your own Xuanfu Army?
Liu Wei's heart became colder when he thought about it. He didn't expect that even Sun Shaozu would become an undercover agent preparing to stab him in the back. How was he going to fight this battle?
Moreover, the news coming back from the city was also confusing. There seemed to be civil strife in the Fifth Army Camp. Ma Chengxun did not control the Fifth Army Camp at all, while the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp had already adopted a stance of supporting the cabinet. The army was fighting in a melee, and gunshots were heard in the city all day long, but there was still no sign of the outcome.
Where to go is in front of Liu Wei.
He was single-handedly supported by Li Sancai, and he also had the emperor's edict, but everyone knew that the emperor's edict had not been approved by the cabinet and the Ministry of War, so it was the central decree, and civil servants would not recognize it.
Once Li Sancai misses, he can at most go home and drink tea, but what about himself?
He had to think carefully. He did not dare to take that step without absolute certainty.
He also knew that he had actually taken half a step forward. If he had been more cautious, he should have stayed at the junction of Huailaiwei and Shuntianfu instead of entering Longhutai.
It’s a pity that I was too hot-headed at the time and didn’t realize it.
But what now?
He simply ignored the fight. He did not believe that the Jizhen Army stationed at Qinghedian could withstand the 50,000 elite troops in his hands.
But what if we defeat the opponent, reach the capital city, and attack the city?
What about time?
Will the situation in the city change?
Since Ma Chengxun failed to control the fifth military camp and caused internal strife, Liu Wei had a bad premonition.
Although he is reckless, he is not stupid. On the contrary, he has experienced all kinds of things in Liaodong for so many years, and he understands that in the court, it is still a silent game of swords and shadows.
This time Li Sancai and the emperor joined forces, it seems that they failed to achieve the expected results. Ma Chengxun's fifth military camp was actually in civil strife, but Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp were controlled by Feng Ziying. Under this situation, the situation in the city was unknown.
If I continue on this path, it may be a disaster that will confiscate my family and exterminate my family.
Once Li Sancai fell, the emperor was afraid that his spine would be ripped out, and he could only retreat to the palace to pray for good luck. What about himself?
Walking around the hall twice, Liu Wei became more and more anxious. He did not dare to delay any longer. No matter which way he took, he had to decide immediately, otherwise he would die.
It doesn’t matter, I can only wipe my face now.
Before Feng Ziying returned home, she received a call from Feng You.
This surprised him.
With the establishment of his own team, Feng You has returned to his father.
"Uncle You, what's the matter?" Feng Ziying believed that there must be something important for Feng You to come.
After the others had retreated, Feng You explained his purpose.
“Liu Wei?!” Feng Ziying was surprised, “How could he have a relationship with his father?”
“The Xuanfu Army, Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng were also among them at that time. Maybe they..." Feng You whispered in secret.
Feng Ziying's expression changed.
Liu Wei was able to quickly take control of the Xuanfu Army. There must be two Niu Wangs here, but the two Niu Kings also passed the news to him through his father. Now it seems that this group of people really has some thoughts. They want to restore the old structure, but they don't even look at it. Do the current political climate and political patterns in the government and the public in Beijing and north and south exist?
The fantasy that if you have the military power in the capital, you can do whatever you want, or even become a military man in power, at least the idea of a juxtaposition of civil and military forces is purely wishful thinking.
Seeing that he seems to be rising through the ranks and giving orders in all directions in the army, it would be ridiculous to fantasize about some unrealistic goals.
But the Ox King and his father are not fools either. They at least see that having some military power is something worth working on at any time.
But what is going on with Liu Wei?
Feng Ziying could guess what the Ox King was thinking. Her own background and the existence of her father made the two of them dare to reveal this relationship so confidently and boldly. But what about Liu Wei?
“Liu Wei is nearly sixty years old and can’t work for a few more years. He just wants to keep his adopted son and son. Both of his sons are quite talented. It would be a pity to perish. If he can get away with it this time,..."
It's not that easy. The fact that the Xuanfu army has entered Shuntianfu cannot be concealed. No matter how you build momentum now, there will not be fewer people staring at you.
Sighing, Feng Ziying waved her hand: "This matter is very difficult, but Zhisheng seems to want to let Liu Wei go. I guess it can be regarded as the connections left by Liu Wei's father. Anyway, I will try my best to cover it up for him." , let him cooperate with Sun Shaozu, just say that he didn’t know the situation before, and he didn’t understand until he arrived at Longhu Terrace..."
Feng You smiled and said, "How to do it specifically, I will arrange for the two Ox Kings to help cooperate..."
Feng Ziying frowned, "Uncle You, father, please remind me not to get too close to the Ox King. They are too keen on some unrealistic ideas..."
"Don't worry, young master, I know what I know, but I also said that no matter what, Xuanfu and Jizhen's second army are in your hands. Whether you join the cabinet or become the chief assistant in the future, it will be of great benefit. Yes, at least no one can easily use the military channel to deal with you, and the master also knows that many things you have to do will inevitably arouse a lot of incomprehension and opposition. There are some things that even he does not understand, so the Gyeonggi side There are only advantages to the army and no disadvantages."
Feng You smiled and said: "The master also said that some things may seem unrealistic now, but the situation will change, and it may not be clear in the future."
After sending Feng You away, Feng Ziying also rubbed her temples.
Daddy and the Ox King seem to be getting closer and closer, and I don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse.
However, Feng You's last words are not unreasonable. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future, but it will not be wrong to firmly hold on to military power.
Of course, this method and means of seizing military power should be considered comprehensively, and should not be too obvious, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
The sudden "change of flag" of the Xuanfu army finally announced the end of this farce that had lasted for several days, and it was even simpler and easier than imagined.
Liu Wei led the Xuanfu army back to Huailaiwei, and then accepted the investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
At the same time, Ma Chengxun is also under investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhang Jin was directly sent to prison.
Lu Song disappeared without a trace, and the Long Jinwei group was leaderless and fell into chaos.
Feng Ziyi was appointed as Long Jinwei to command Qianshi, and was temporarily responsible for the affairs of Beizhen Fusi. This unusual promotion was unanimously recognized by the Ministry of War and the cabinet.
On April 12, Qi Yongtai was awarded the title of Bachelor of Zhongji Palace, and then resigned from the cabinet as chief assistant and minister, and retired from official service.
At the same time, Li Sancai and Tang Binyin were dismissed from their positions as ministers and bachelors.
Gu Bingqian was awarded the bachelor of Feng Jinshendian and served as the first assistant, while Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang were awarded the bachelor of Wenhuadian, Qiao Yingjia was awarded the bachelor of Wuyingdian, and Feng Ziying was awarded the bachelor of Dongge.
Following this, intense discussions between all parties began, and there will definitely be a series of personnel appointments and dismissals, marking the final arrival of the five-year major change in Wantong. (End of chapter)
