The devil is coming

Chapter 660: Lord Marquis asks for guilt!
The wind in Yingdu finally subsided;
The matter of becoming a prince in the palace,
Pick it up high,
Put it down again.
The reason why I say high is because that night, all the soldiers and horses from the various ministries in the city and the patrol camp outside the city poured in. It was really a huge battle.
Let it go, let it go, why is it still heavy?
Because becoming a prince means letting go;
There was no news that Prince Cheng died of a sudden illness, nor any specific charges.
Many people in the palace were arrested. Of course, after the guards of the palace were killed early, these eunuchs, maids and the like would arrest more and take less, and they would not cause any trouble;
may follow,
It is the real method of the new governor Xu Wenzu;
The assassination incident is in the front, which is the foreshadowing; the soldiers and horses enter the city, which is the hot spot; the Marquis Pingxi is in the city, which is a paperweight; the affairs of the palace are confusing, but there will obviously be a lot of dirty things behind it.
Breakthrough, excuse, gap,
Too much too much;
Xu Wenzu arrested a group of people, took a group of people, demoted a group of people, and punished a group of people.
Gou Moli was extremely surprised;
Perhaps the Savage King first learned military affairs, and then tried to win over people and tribes in the snowy plains. Because conditions were limited, what he did was still rough work;
A real court, a real officialdom, has order and checks and balances. You cannot just casually shout: Come here, take him out and chop him down.
It's not barbecue or stew,
Instead, he takes a piece of tofu and spends a lot of energy and profound skills to carve out a lifelike object;
Xu Wenzu showed Gou Moli what the real official methods were.
Lord Pingxi is drowsy.
Gou Moli was delighted!
After this wave of cutting and beating, Xu Wenzu quickly took control of the situation. Next, he needed to spend some time simmering over low heat to continue in-depth conditioning.
When Xu Pangpang took office,
He already has a strategy in mind and is ready to spend a long time to achieve this goal;
Who knows that plans can’t keep up with changes?
After a gust of east, west, and northwest wind blew randomly,
He actually completed more than half of his plan to weaken Yingdu's old bureaucracy just like this.
Originally, he was thinking of spending a few years on his term, slowly doing it, and then spending half a year in Yingdu, drinking tea, reminiscing, and waiting for the term to be over. After finishing the work, he returned to Yanjing and entered the court.
Now, of course Xu Wenzu will not feel frustrated or at a loss because things are done in advance. In fact, he is very happy and satisfied, because this means that he can do more things and achieve more of Mu Shou's goals. Political ambitions and blueprints.
Therefore,
At the dinner table to bid farewell to Lord Pingxi,
Xu Wenzu was emotional.
I can't help but feel emotional. It's really a blessing to be partnered with someone who understands the world and has excellent ability to do things.
Xu Wenzu once had this feeling when he was in Nanwang City;
A few years later, when he came to Yingdu, he relived this feeling again.
Therefore, Xu Wenzu was not surprised at all that King Jingnan valued his brother Zheng so much. It was really strange that such subordinates did not value him or kept him cold.
Mr. Zheng and Xu Wenzu also drank and talked happily on the last night.
The two relived the glorious past together,
Then they joined hands to dream of a better future;
Xu Wenzu drank a little too much,
Finally, he patted his heavy chest,
He said as if he was drunk but still sober:
"Brother Zheng, don't worry. It's not easy for you to establish the Marquis Mansion for the first time. I'm here in Yingdu, my brother."
This can be regarded as a political commitment. The local warlords and the feudal officials have reached some kind of alliance.
In fact, after King Zhenbei gave up the fight for the chair, Xu Wenzu could hardly be regarded as a member of the Prince's Palace of Zhenbei anymore. It could even be said that he was now an "amateur";
The element here refers purely to cleanness.
My relationship with the eldest prince is irreconcilable.
I flirted with Mr. Liu,
Be respectful to the princelings,
He doesn't really belong to anyone, but everyone thinks this fat guy is pretty good.
So,
At this time, it was natural for Xu Wenzu to choose to join forces with Zheng Fan.
Of course, the main reason for all this is that the superstructure of Dayan has long been tilted to a mess. The three kings of Yan, Zhenbei and Jingnan have formed a political and military system that is extremely deformed in the eyes of other countries. .
If you are in Qian country,
When Xu Wenzu came to Yingdu, his first priority was not to cut down any powerful people in Yingdu, but to keep an eye on the newly established Pingxihou Mansion, divide, win over, and suppress, with the ultimate goal of disintegrating this emerging military group. .
In the Yan Kingdom, this kind of thing would not happen. To be precise, as long as Emperor Yan still reigns, there will be no fundamental changes in this custom.
After getting Xu Wenzu's promise, Zheng Houye was also satisfied. He knew that unless he rebelled, he and Xu Wenzu would always maintain a tacit political alliance and provide each other with foreign aid.
This is not the Liuye Party or the Princeling Party, but after the establishment of the Hou Mansion, leaving aside the military dependence, there will inevitably be forces that are actively attracted to it politically and in official circles.
Of course, this is a story.
The development of Jindong is inseparable from Yingdu, not only the imperial court's transportation of money and grain to Jindong every season, but also commerce, manpower, transportation, etc. Once Yingdu gets in your way, the Marquis Mansion will be in trouble. Uncomfortable, this hidden danger was eliminated because of Xu Wenzu.
Next,
Just keep your head down and do your own thing;
farming,
forging,
commerce,
All we have to do is set up a monument at the gate of Pingxihou Mansion and write: Development is the last word!
that's it,
the next morning,
Marquis Zheng led his personal guards out of Yingdu and began to return.
After crossing Wangjiang and Yupan City, they did not continue towards Fengxin City.
before going back,
He had one more thing to take care of.
before,
When he was stationed at Xue Customs, relying on his connections with the Sun family of Yingdu and the household connections of Xiaoliuzi in the imperial court, he was able to eat well and enjoy treatment that was twice or even more better than that of other fraternal troops;
But there are some things,
Zheng Fan can do it himself,
It doesn't mean that he will be willing to let his men repeat his story.
I have worked so hard and risked my life so many times on the battlefield to build the foundation and build the team. How can I let you start a small plot under my nose?
In this matter,
Lord Pingxi has zero tolerance.
.........
"Hello, Major General!"
"The Major General is back!"
"Haha, Major General."
Gong Lin walked into her father's handsome tent while greeting her uncles and uncles.
In fact, the town of Gongwang has a city where soldiers and horses are stationed, but that county town is still under renovation and is not suitable for the army to be stationed for the time being, so the commander's tent is still placed in the military camp.
Furthermore,
The Marquis of Pingxi went to Yingdu. His palace commander and Gongsun Zhi in the north naturally led their troops to suppress Yupan City and build up momentum for the Marquis.
When Gong Lin came in,
Gong Wang was eating, three dishes and one soup, the food was pretty good.
Seeing his eldest son return, Gong Wang was very happy and waved;
"Have you eaten? Let's eat together."
Gong Lin is Gong Wang's eldest son. He has been taken by Gong Wang since he was a child. In fact, he has already led an army by himself early on.
But after he paid homage to the Pingxi Marquis Mansion on the hilltop, Gong Wang sent his eldest son to the Marquis, claiming to be taught by him, but in reality he also meant to be a hostage.
just,
Father and son have been separated for a long time, so naturally I miss my son very much.
Facing his pleasant father,
Then I looked at the two streaks of white on my father’s temples,
Gong Lin took a deep breath,
But he didn’t choose to sit down and eat with his father.
Instead, he spoke very seriously and even with a bit of coldness;
"Wang Wang, the general commander of the Pingxi Hou Mansion, kneels down to receive the order from the Marquis!"
Gong Wang was stunned at first.
After looking at his son carefully for a while, he saw that his son was motionless;
There were several clerks and some soldiers in the commander's tent. Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other.
finally,
Gong Wang put down his chopsticks and walked down.
Gong Lin still stared at her father with serious eyes, without giving in at all. What she held in her hand was the token of Marquis Pingxi.
When the Dacheng Kingdom was still there, Gong Wang was the general.
Over the years, he has been in battle for a long time, and his power cannot be underestimated.
Not to mention, there is also this father-son relationship, where the father is the guide for the son.
But Gong Lin still stood there upright, without much emotion in her eyes.
Gong Wang smiled,
He grabbed his son's shoulders with both hands and squeezed.
Very pleased;
"My son has grown up."
As a father, seeing his son mature makes him feel happy.
After sighing,
Gong Wang retracted his hands, took two steps back, and knelt down on one knee in front of his son:
"The last general is looking at the palace and waiting for the order from the Marquis!"
For a time,
The clerks and guards in the handsome tent all knelt down.
Gong Lin held the token, faced it, and said:
"The Marquis asked, Gong Wang, do you know what I dislike the most?"
Gong Wang did not answer. This question was too broad.
Gong Lin continued:
"I, the Marquis, dislike my subordinates the most. They have other thoughts."
"I don't dare to do that, please let the Marquis take a closer look!"
"Gong Wang, please think it over carefully for me. Considering that you and I have fought together in battle, I will give you a chance to make it clear in person."
"The last general takes orders!"
Gong Lin breathed a long sigh of relief and took the token back. Then, she took three steps back, knelt down in front of her father, and kowtowed three times vigorously and solemnly, her forehead turning blue.
Previously, he was delivering orders, and he knew that it was not him who his father was kneeling on, but the Marquis Order in his hand.
But seeing his own father kneel down to him, as a son, he felt really tormented in his heart, so he could only repay the favor in this way.
Gong Wang smiled, stood up and came over to help his son up, saying:
"Silly boy, what does this mean? We, the two of us, will settle the matter one by one."
In the handsome tent, the rest of the people also stood up.
"Dad, you've done something wrong." Gong Lin said.
Gong Wang sighed and said: "I heard some rumors. This time, the palace seemed to be okay, but it was severely damaged. Many people in Yingdu's officialdom also suffered great misfortune.
Actually, dad and I are also wondering if it will be my turn.
Isn’t this the end of the war?
The Yan people have also stabilized the situation in Jin.
Just started cleaning up. "
Gong Wang blinked and shook his head.
"It's dad's turn, isn't it?"
Gong Lin shook her head and said, "Master Hou is not such a person."
Gong Wang was noncommittal and retreated to his desk, sat down, waved his hand, and everyone else in the tent resigned and walked out.
"Why did your father and I seek refuge with the Marquis in the first place? Wasn't it because when this day comes, we have a backer to protect us.
There are differences between Yan and Jin. At least in these two generations, the difference between Yan and Jin is still very obvious, and the Yan people will always pay attention to the defense of Yan and Jin.
During the previous war, all conflicts could be suppressed, but now... haha, to put it bluntly, it is still a matter of time and again. "
"Dad, I have been following Mr. Hou for some time. In Mr. Hou's eyes, there is really no difference between Yan and Jin. Even a savage can be reused by Mr. Hou. The pattern of Mr. Hou is very big."
If it were another father and son, and the son dared to refute his father's point of view face to face, the father would probably give a disdainful smile and make another comment:
Son, you are too naive.
But this time,
Gong Wang obviously listened.
The main reason is not to trust his son's vision more, but based on his own understanding of Lord Pingxi.
Previously, when the wind from Yingdu came to him, as a Jin general's instinct, he felt insecure due to the difference in his own bloodline;
This is the largest, most basic and unshakable world view.
right now,
Because of his son's words, he could slow down a little and think about things below this level.
then,
Thinking again of the words of the Marquis passed down from his own son,
Gong Wang felt that he should have grasped the essence of the problem.
"Father, I understand what's going on."
Some things don’t feel like anything when you do them;
Just like when the Marquis of Pingxi ate in Xuehaiguan and his mouth was full of oil, he just felt that he had obtained more money and food by relying on his own ability, and he was not giving it to anyone, right?
But on the contrary, when he tried to push it from the perspective of the Marquis, Gong Wang realized what this kind of thing meant to the real superiors, and what it meant to the newly established system of the Marquis Mansion.
In fact, the fundamental reason is still;
When Marquis Zheng took the lead in "compromising the public and enriching himself", it was Tian Wujing who took the lead. Even if Lao Tian knew about this scene of relying on his own ability to earn a living, he acquiesced.
Not just acquiescing to this,
Even when Lord Zheng said that the Savage King was in his hands,
Lao Tian just replied:
understood.
The person above Gongwang is Mr. Zheng himself.
"Cough cough..."
Gong Wang started to cough.
Road:
"It's because I'm a father, so I didn't think about it."
After figuring out the real problem, Gong Wang was relieved of his burden;
After all, if you make a mistake, you still have the opportunity to admit it, and the message from the Marquis also gives you the foundation to admit your mistake; at worst, you can be punished, but you can still correct yourself. Who can never make a mistake in his life?
Compared with this, the kind of desire purely because of Jin's identity and the guilt of guilt is what really makes Gong Wang feel despair.
Now, it's better.
Gong Wang breathed a long sigh of relief,
Road:
"My father was scared before, haha."
This was self-deprecating, because before, even in front of his son, he could not completely hide his frightened state.
"Gongsun Zhi's troops pressed south for dozens of miles, and General Liang's troops pressed west for eighty miles. These two soldiers and horses, like two pairs of pliers, have already closed on Dad.
My father thought it was the Marquis who wanted to attack his father.
Now it seems,
It's Mr. Hou who is still giving his father a chance. "
Gong Lin immediately said: "Father, if the Marquis did not intend to give you a chance, he would not have asked his son to come here to deliver this order. The Marquis does not like trouble the most."
You can hear it,
My son, after staying with the Marquis for a long time, began to worship the Marquis.
Gong Wang could not help but feel a little sad. The one his son originally admired should be him;
As a father, it is inevitable that he will feel a little jealous.
"My father knows. I will prepare now. All the troops and horses will stay here. You and I, father and son, will go to Fengxin City. My father will apologize to the Marquis in person and ask for forgiveness."
Putting down the troops and horses, entering Fengxin and the Marquis' Mansion alone is the best gesture, which is more useful than a thousand words, especially for a general.
Gong Lin shook her head,
Road:
"Father, no need."
"Why don't you need it?" Gong Wang was a little confused.
Gong Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile;
"The Marquis said that if my father plans to go to Fengxin City alone, he should ask his father to come out of the commander's tent."
"Come out of the commander's tent?"
Gong Wang immediately realized something, left the commander's seat and walked straight out of the commander's tent.
as soon as you come out,
He saw the clerk and bodyguard who had left his tent before being subdued on the ground, with knives on their necks;
And in front of me,
There were several rows of personal guards of the Hou Mansion in Feiyu uniforms, and outside these personal guards stood some of his direct lineage soldiers.
They hold swords, they draw bows and arrows,
But what the knife edge and arrow point were aimed at were not these flying fish suits, but the handsome tent where he was!
Soldiers Center,
There is a chair,
There is a man sitting on the chair,
The man was peeling peanuts, blowing on them from time to time, and then throwing them into his mouth to chew.
It is none other than Lord Pingxi!
And standing next to the Marquis is the direct line general brought out by his Gong Wang. Applying the standards of the Yan people, such as Zhenbei Hou Mansion, this general is equivalent to his Gong Wang's adopted son.
This adopted son actually didn't have many troops at hand, but on weekdays, he was responsible for guarding his own camp and serving as the mainstay of the Chinese army.
This adopted son betrayed himself.
When he was talking to his son in the commander's tent,
He brought the Marquis in and quietly controlled the outside of his handsome tent.
However, it can't be called a betrayal, because he is the commander-in-chief of the Hou Mansion, and his adopted son is actually a general under the Hou Mansion. It is natural for him to obey the orders of the Marquis.
In addition, further away, Gong Wang also saw a group of other generals under his command. Their expressions were very tangled, but they were not bound or detained. They were actually free, but it was obvious that they would not He went to mobilize his troops for himself.
because,
Great Yan Pingxi Marquis,
others,
Already sitting there.
The Marquis of Pingxi is in Yingdu, and the waves in Yingdu cannot be turned over;
Everyone knows that the real prestige of the Marquis lies in the military.
There is no reason why he can suppress the situation in Yingdu, but he cannot suppress him in the army, even if this is the Jin camp.
Gong Wang didn't hesitate any more.
I simply walked forward,
The guards in flying fish suits on both sides did not stop him.
After getting closer,
Gong Wang knelt down to Lord Zheng who was sitting on the chair:
"The guilty general Wang Wang has made a big mistake, please punish him!"
Lord Zheng was not in a hurry to say anything.
But spread your hands,
In the palm of my hand, there is a handful of peeled peanuts,
He blew and blew up a "red makeup",
then,
He put his hand spread in front of Gong Wang who was kneeling at his feet.
whispered:
"Here, eat peanuts."
