Invincible son

Chapter 1040 1041 [Changes in Beiying]

On May [-], the sky was still gloomy.

Today's canonization ceremony is still held in the palace. The first part is the gift from the Tian family. The eldest prince Liu Xian pays tribute to Emperor Kaiping and his concubine. The emperor teaches according to the rules of the ancestors.The second part is for the crown prince to receive the gift, that is, the civil and military officials pay respects and congratulations to Liu Xianxing in the Jianzhang Palace.

Although the process is cumbersome and boring, and there are clear requirements for behavior and actions, it is really torture for the elderly ministers, but no one dares to ignore this matter, because it is related to the reputation of the prince.Ordinary small households will follow the rules when handling major affairs, not to mention the Tianjia who pays the most attention to dignity, so Liu Xian maintains a high degree of tension all day long.

He won't be able to relax until he goes out of the palace to the Ancestral Temple tomorrow and holds the ceremony of becoming a crown prince.

The people in the capital are all looking forward to the grand event tomorrow, and as for the inconvenience caused by the martial law in the city these days, they can only silently accept it.

However, for the three major battalions of the Beijing Army outside the city, the appointment of the crown prince had no profound impact other than becoming a talking point among the soldiers.During this period of time, they were immersed in hard training, because the Yanping meeting, which had been postponed for two years, was [-] days later, and everyone was holding back their energy to make a difference in the meeting.

Although the North Camp of the Beijing Army was taken away by Pei Yue, the Zangfengwei and Tai'anwei, the remaining Wudingwei and Pingnanwei did not slack off, because the Yanping Hunting was not all dispatched, and only two armies of infantry and one army of cavalry were selected from each battalion. A total of 500 people participated in the contest.

Because Emperor Kaiping had not yet appointed a deputy commander, Pei Yue handed over the power to Yang Yingji, who was in charge of the camp, to temporarily handle military affairs in the camp before leaving.After taking over this heavy burden, Yang Yingji never returned to the capital, and even Yang Ding, who was uncertain about his life or death, had no time to worry about it, and devoted all his energy to complicated military affairs.

Yu Dazhi, the commander of Pingnanwei, was a member of Emperor Kaiping's entrainment, so he naturally had some opinions on this, but after all, Yang Yingji was after Ningguo, and was also in charge of the military law ruling in the camp, so he didn't dare to insist on disobeying the other party's orders.

In just over a month, Yang Yingji seemed to have aged a lot, his body became thinner and thinner, but his eyes were shining brightly and sharply like firelight in the dark night.

After reviewing Wu Dingwei's salary, he gathered the files and put them away, and the general raised the teacup, and a soldier came in to salute with a little eagerness: "My lord, someone from the five military governor's mansion has come to call for Wu Dingwei. The commander is General Qin and the deputy commander is General Xue."

Yang Yingji said calmly, "Understood, please meet at Jietang. Also, call fifty soldiers to go to Jietang."

"Yes, my lord." The soldiers didn't understand what he meant, so they could only retreat quickly.

Yang Yingji took a deep breath, slowly got up and walked outside.

What came to his mind at this moment was the words Pei Yue said before he left Beijing. On the one hand, he admired the young Lord Hou for his unpredictability, and on the other hand, he was angry at the wolf-heartedness of some people. act.

In other words, the reason why he hadn't been out of Beiying after Pei Yue left Beijing was because he was waiting for this day.

When they arrived at the festival hall, they saw that the three generals of Wu Dingwei were all there, Qin Xian looked calm, while Luo Kedi and Xue Meng were furious.On the other side, Commander Ping Nanwei Yu Dazhi sat upright, seemingly indifferent.

Yang Yingji looked past the crowd, looked at the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back like Yuan Ting Yuezhi, and looked at the six expressionless and strict guards beside him, feeling vaguely concerned.

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Yingji and said, "Yang's experience, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yang Yingji was not used to courteous greetings in official circles, so he lowered his head slightly and said, "I've met Ling Sima, what can I learn from you?"

The middle-aged man's name is Ling Hui, and he is now the Sima of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.He is selfless and tough, which is very similar to Yang Yingji's role in Beiying from a certain point of view.

After Xu Shou took over as the governor, the first knife was to slash at himself. He launched a self-retrieval of the governor's mansion from top to bottom, and uncovered a large number of corrupt officials and incompetent people. He Guliang, the two Xifu military planes, also praised him.In that massive self-examination, Ling Hui became Xu Shou's right-hand man, and he would never return empty-handed.

Facing Yang Yingji, who was slender and cold-faced, Ling Hui said in a deep voice: "I am ordered by the governor to invite Qin Xian, the commander of Wu Dingwei, and Xue Meng, the deputy commander, to return to Beijing for investigation."

Yang Yingji asked calmly: "May I ask Lord Ling, what did Qin and Xue commit?"

Ling Hui said: "The Dudu's Office received a report saying that the two of them embezzled the soldiers' salaries in order to seek military promotion, and then bribed Zhongshan Marquis Pei Yue by buying shares in Qinyuan. The Dudu's Office has already found out that the two of them were indeed Buying shares in Qinyuan, but their family cannot afford so much money, so there is a possibility of corruption.”

Xue Meng blushed immediately and said: "What bullshit! That is the share that Lord Hou gave us!"

Ling Hui turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "Whether it is true or not, please go back to the capital with me and go to the Governor's Mansion to find out. If this matter is false, you can clear the suspicion of both of you."

Xue Meng wanted to fight again, Qin Xian said: "Master Ling, this is a bloody spout made out of nothing, please forgive me for not being able to accept the investigation of the Dudu Mansion."

Ling Hui said coldly: "This matter has been approved by Zuo Junji and the governor, and all the documents and procedures are complete. Could it be that the two of you want to disobey orders and cause chaos? Let me take it down!"

The six big-armed and round-eyed personal guards beside him stepped forward. Although Qin Xian and Xue Meng were not afraid on the face, they were hesitant in their hearts.They all know the rift between Wang Pingzhang and Pei Yue. Although this matter is purely slander at the moment, will it have a negative impact on Pei Yue if it becomes serious?

After all, the other party occupies the rightful name.

But at this moment, Yang Yingji said angrily: "Stop!"

Ling Hui turned his head to look, his expression changed slightly.

Accompanied by Yang Yingji's scolding, the light outside the gate of the festival hall suddenly dimmed, and dozens of fierce personal soldiers rushed in instantly, and then stepped forward to block Qin Xian and others behind them.

"Yang Yingji, do you want to rebel?!"

Ling Hui's eyes shot fire, and he took two steps forward suddenly.

Yang Yingji met the other party's stare, and said in a deep voice: "Master Ling, Qin Xian and Xue Meng will never do anything corrupt. This is obviously a false accusation by someone with ulterior motives. Besides, even if you want to investigate, you have to wait for Lord Hou." Check after returning to Beijing, after all, you said they bribed Lord Hou, so you can't just check them two."

Ling Hui's face was livid, he thought that there would be no obstacles to this trip, but he didn't expect Yang Yingji to change his usual style and make such a weird act of protecting the calf.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "What if I must take them away today?"

Yang Yingji said without giving an inch, "You can't do it."

Ling Hui glanced at those soldiers who did not flinch, and said with a sneer: "Okay, what a Yang Yingji, what a Zhongshan Marquis, it seems that this Northern Camp is no longer the army of Daliang!"

This is already an extremely serious accusation.

Not only Qin Xian, Xue Meng and Luo Kedi frowned, but Yu Dazhi, who had already stood up next to him, had an uncertain expression.

Only Yang Yingji stood tall, with firm and resolute eyes, like pines and cypresses in cold weather.
