Invincible son

The news of Duke Wei's assassination and injury swept through the entire capital like a gust of wind, and even spread to Gyeonggi soon.

In the festival hall of the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army, Jia Quan, commander of the Pinghu Guards, was sitting on the second chair from the right. Feeling the oppressive and angry atmosphere in the hall, he couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly.

Pinghu Guard belongs to the Yaoshan Camp, but it is not the direct descendant of the former coach Xiongwu Hou Lanyu, and its comprehensive strength is below the middle level among the 27 guards of the Fifth Battalion of the Southern Army.Jia Quan was both surprised and delighted when he learned that he was in rotation with Wu Dingwei of the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army, because the prestige of Wei Guogong Pei Yue had already spread all over the world, and the generous treatment of the Beiying guards was also known to the world.

After receiving the decree, he hurried back to Beijing with Pinghuwei, walked nearly 36 miles in only [-] days, and settled in the northern suburbs camp after the inspection by the officials of the Xifu.

But he never imagined that he had only been in Beiying for four days, and he hadn't even seen Pei Yue's face before hearing such news that sounded like thunder on the ground. The emotions of these titans are obviously not right.

"boom!"

Cui Meng, the deputy commander of Tai'an Guards, slapped the table with his palm, shaking the teacup, and then said angrily: "Which time in the past few years, the Duke of the country has not personally risked Shishi on the battlefield. Assassinated and injured, if I let Lao Tzu catch this assassin, he will definitely not let him die so happily!"

"The imperial court must give the Duke an explanation." Although Fu Hongzhi, who is also the deputy commander of the Tai'an Guard, had a calmer tone, his words were more chilling.

"That's right, I would have suspected that this assassination had something to do with the court struggle. After His Majesty ascended the throne, there was a dark wind in the court against the Duke of the State, saying that he had power and ambitions and had evil intentions. Although His Majesty has great trust in the Duke of the State, but Those people may not give up. According to this general, this assassination is clearly a result of some people's unchangeable nature, and the court must investigate clearly, so as to return justice to the Duke!"

These words were resolute and decisive, but the person who spoke was Yu Dazhi, commander of Pingnanwei, which made the other generals in the hall startled slightly.

Four months ago, I'm afraid even Yu Dazhi himself couldn't believe it. Under the premise that the situation was not yet clear, he would become Pei Yue's supporter so clearly and resolutely, and his attitude was even higher than that of Pei Yue's direct confidantes in the hall. Generals should be more determined.

After staying in Beiying for two years, I personally witnessed the rise of this big camp that was on the verge of being abolished, and became the leader of the Beijing army in the hands of Pei Yue. This exciting change will naturally affect everyone.

As one of them, Yu Dazhi has been converging with other generals in many aspects under such accumulated influence, which he has not even noticed.Especially before Emperor Kaiping passed away, there was no special explanation to him, nor was he transferred out of Beiying, so Yu Dazhi completely recognized the reality.

Coupled with the fact that Pei Yue did not treat him badly to Ping Nanwei during the past two years, turning around became a matter of course.

Therefore, when Pei Yue came to the North Camp to inspect the soldiers a few months ago, after receiving Pei Yue's promise and encouragement, Yu Dazhi handed over the two deputy commanders of Ping Nanwei without hesitation. Cheng Pei Yuechu was a confidant when he built Zang Fengwei.

Now that the first step has been taken, Yu Dazhi will naturally not hesitate to move forward, so he behaves more radically than Fu Hongzhi and others.

Jia Quan didn't know these twists and turns. From his point of view, a storm was forming. Because of the assassination of the Duke of Wei in Duzhong, these aggressive generals in the Beiying obviously couldn't suppress their anger.

Just when he was hesitating whether to express his opinion, the experience officer Yang Yingji said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Your Majesty has a lot of trust in the Duke, and the assassination will definitely not be let go. Naturally, the soldiers of the Northern Camp respect the Duke. But he is also loyal to His Majesty and the court, and it is hard to guarantee that some words will cause misunderstanding and suspicion.”

Noticing that the stern-faced middle-aged man glanced at him lightly, Jia Quan's heart tightened, and he said hastily: "Although I have just entered the Northern Camp, I also know that the Duke has worked hard and is loyal to the sun and the moon. If the court can't catch him When the assassin severely punishes the real culprit, how can the people of the world be convinced? Yang Jing, if you don’t join us in the petition to your majesty, please thoroughly investigate this matter!”

Yang Yingji said, "General Jia has a heart."

Jia Quan said seriously: "This is a matter of duty."

Although Zang Fengwei and Wu Dingwei are not in the capital, Pei Yue's direct descendants still firmly control the power of Beiying, especially among the middle and lower generals, there are countless people who respect him, so after a little thought, Jia Quan immediately revealed himself Attitude.

He knew very well in his heart that if he hesitated at this moment, Pinghuwei would definitely be thrown into the cold palace by Pei Yue.

After all, the Duke was only injured rather than dead, and he was still an unshakable figure in the court, so it was easy to control his small commander.

Faced with Jia Quan's unreserved statement, Tang Linfen, the commander of the Tai'an Guard, nodded slightly, turned to look at Deng Zai, the commander of the Beiwei Battalion who sat down and said nothing, and asked, "Does the Beiwei Battalion want to enter Beijing?" ?”

Deng Zai shook his head and said, "The Lord has no instructions."

Today's Beiwei camp has more than a thousand people. After several rounds of selection in the past few months, more than a thousand people have been drawn from various guards to supplement them. In the future, hundreds of people will be recruited to make up the real number of three thousand. .

Tang Linfen heard the deep meaning of Deng Zai's words, and immediately cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, there is no need to join the concert, it is easy to prove it. We are the soldiers of the Duke of the country, and we must obey the military orders when we act. Since The Grand Duke didn't give instructions, so we naturally have to be obedient."

These words made the gradually rising atmosphere in the hall cool down a bit, Yang Yingji agreed and said: "What General Tang said is reasonable."

Jia Quan was not disappointed, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As an outsider who has never met Pei Yue, if he was not worried about being the target of public criticism, he would certainly not want to be involved in this turmoil.However, he also knew that after he uttered the words "Shangzuo in joint name", Pei Yue's brand could never be washed away, and he could only follow in the footsteps of that young Duke from now on.

But thinking about it the other way around, I had already made up my mind on the way back to Beijing, I must hug Duke Wei's thigh tightly, maybe there is hope to go further in the future.

It's just that Pei Yue wasn't present today, so his show of loyalty would have to be compromised after all.

At this time, Tang Linfen said to him: "General Jia's words today are touching, and I will tell the Duke of the country verbatim."

Jia Quan quickly thanked him, and at the same time felt indescribable feelings in his heart.

The anger of these arrogant soldiers today is naturally not a lie, and the raging sentiment is also a fact, but it may not be that there is no intention to observe and examine their own position, but I don't know if it is the order of the young prince.

No... The incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible for Duke Wei to predict that he would be assassinated in advance. How could he focus on Beiying in such a short period of time?But this is enough to show that he has a strong control over the northern camp. Even if he is not here and there is no instruction, these fierce generals are still planning for him everywhere.

Thinking of this, Jia Quan couldn't help becoming more humble and cautious.

Tang Linfen didn't continue this topic. After looking at Yang Yingji, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, since we are generals, we can't get involved in the turmoil of the court. This will make the Duke displeased. However, just now Because we are the generals under the Duke of the State, as long as we do our job well, we can give the Lord the greatest support and support."

Some of the words in these words were a bit out of line, but all the generals, including Yu Dazhi and Jia Quan, took it for granted.

What is my job?

Naturally, it is to intensify the training of soldiers to further strengthen their own strength.

The soldiers also knew about Pei Yue's assassination, so they didn't need the general's supervision at all. Everyone consciously strived to be the first in the school field, and a strong and extremely murderous atmosphere lingered in the entire camp.

This strong momentum spiraled up from the northern suburbs, poured into the capital with the howling north wind, and weighed heavily on the hearts of most people.
