Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 70 Arriving in Beijing
The recruitment of Situ Lang and Situ Jun was naturally expected by Cheng Dayou, but where did this Situ Biao come from? Cheng Dayou couldn't figure out what qualifications this Situ Biao had to send a signal of recruitment to him. Could it be that he thought too highly of himself just because of his status as a prince. Of course, Cheng Dayou didn't believe that the other party was just a whim, and those who dared to talk to him must have something to rely on. It wasn't until the other party showed the hole card of Qian Kun Dao that Cheng Dayou knew that not only himself, but everyone inside and outside had underestimated the sixth prince who had been keeping a low profile.
Release If there is the support of Qiankun Dao, then the hidden power of Situ Biao will increase exponentially. Cheng Dayou, who has been in charge of Jiujiang for almost two years, has never relaxed his intelligence collection. As early as when he was running around in the Taiping Sect, he vaguely heard that the power of Qiankun Dao in the south of the empire even surpassed that of the Taiping Sect. It is the development of Taiping Sect in the south that is also quite scrupulous about this unobtrusive Qiankun Dao, but no one knows who this Qiankun Dao is composed of and what interests it represents. They only know that they use the Five Lakes as their base. In the south of the Yangtze River, they also have quite deep roots. The only thing that can be determined is that they are inextricably linked with some elite families of the common people. conclusions drawn from intelligence information obtained in
Release Should I take a gamble? But is it too rash to make a decision based on a few pieces of information disclosed by the other party? Even if he has the Dao of Heaven and Earth as his backing, but without any military power as his backing, that would be worthless. It's just that he doesn't know what's hidden behind the other party's confident appearance that everything is under control?
Release pacing to the window sill and looking south, the streets are full of traffic, and the river is full of boats, Cheng Dayou has no idea that his idols are strolling past not far away, He admired the prosperous scenery of Jiujiang under his rule with great interest. If the two could meet by chance, cook wine and talk about heroes, and raise a glass to talk about the world, this may be a rare story, but history has no Occasionally, it can only be subordinate to the necessity accumulated by thousands of accidents.
After publishing a list of Jiujiang, Wufeng didn't stay long. Although Cheng Dayou was a person worth making friends with, the timing and the environment did not allow him to meet the master of Jiujiang, especially After the other party treated the envoy he sent to inquire about the situation indifferently, it was even more difficult to figure out what the other party was thinking in such a chaotic situation, and he had to wait for the time to make sense in the future. That night, Wufeng and his party went north by boat and went straight to Jinzhong, where they changed to a carriage. Although the campaign to equalize the rich and the poor in Jinzhong is in full swing, fortunately, it has not affected the itinerary of business travelers. Wufeng even feels that the inspection here is a mere formality. Is it because the local officials deliberately indulge these frightened mine owners and landlords? Do they flee so that they can take over their property and fields? Wufeng was very suspicious.
Release On December 10, 697 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, after fifteen days of trekking, Wufeng and his party finally arrived at the imperial capital, where they joined Qin Shuangying and his party who had arrived the day before. Wufeng and his party were delayed a lot along the way, while the fleet went straight down to Yueyang, and encountered an unprecedented crazy attack in Yueyang. Fortunately, Wufeng's guards were prepared, and the opponent's target was directed at Wufeng alone. Yutang and others ignored it, Wufeng's boat was burned, and even the guards and the guards sent by various factions killed more than 30 people in total, and the army sent by Hanzhong Mansion had more than 100 people Sacrifice, which also caused a sensation in the imperial court. Fortunately, Situ Yutang did not panic in the face of danger, and resolutely suppressed the public opinion demanding a thorough investigation, and continued eastward to Taihu Lake in Huzhou, Jiangnan. Traveling back to the imperial capital via the Shanjiang River in the territory of Yang, it was not revealed that Wufeng, who pretended to be sick, was not on the boat.
Release It was not until this time that Wufeng quietly sneaked into the big tent, and really began to show up to receive those people from all walks of life who had come to inquire about the situation.
Release Seeing Situ Yutang, who looked a little thinner, Wufeng felt a strange feeling in his heart. If he really married the beauty in front of him as his first wife, maybe it would be a good choice. The certain support of the conservative forces with the Situ family as the authentic, eased the relationship between myself and them, and this is also a combination that complements each other for the psychology of the entire empire. What's even more rare is that she also has the same decisive plan as Lin Yuexin. breaking power.
Release "Yutang, you have worked hard all this way." Staring at the slightly thin Yudi, Wufeng took the other's hand and said solemnly.
The posting face was a bit feverish. Although there was no one else in the room, Situ Yutang still couldn't adapt to Wufeng's direct way of expressing his emotions. , calmed down and looked back at the other party with a smile: "You and I should be husband and wife, how can you say such a natural relationship? Your journey is going well, right?"
Release "Well, it went smoothly. From Jiujiang to Jinzhong, although they are all under the control of the Taiping Rebellion Party, they actually do not strictly control this aspect. Let me also experience their Taiping teachings. I am very disappointed in the way of management." Wufeng graciously took the other party's hand and walked to the chair and sat down, and then he sat back in the main seat and smiled lightly: "These lowly guys have some skills in demagoguery. The means and measures are not worth mentioning, I think Heshuo will be in chaos soon!"
Released "Oh?" Situ Yutang raised her pretty willow eyebrows, and said in surprise, "Didn't it say that the Taiping Sect ruled very firmly in Heshuo, and the foolish people rushed to support it?"
Published "Hehe, it depends on how you say it. The success of a place cannot be achieved by the support of some foolish men and women. Heshuo has always been rich. If you talk about the wealth of the people in the empire, it is only inferior to the five lakes in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea. The so-called "wealth between the rich and the poor" campaign was carried out by the Taiping people in Heshuo. Not only were the big merchants looted, but even ordinary middle-class people complained endlessly after several generations of accumulation. The act of robbing the rich and helping the poor with fever and beautiful fantasies has completely lost its rules, and it is intensifying. Those who are usually lazy and lazy have taken the opportunity to join the ranks and add fuel to the flames. Taking advantage of the opportunity to enrich one's own pockets, this kind of lawless banditry is the way to govern the country? Absurd!" Wu Feng also shook his head and sighed at what he had seen and heard.
Looking directly at the other party, Situ Yutang smiled calmly, her jade-white cheeks revealed an indescribable look, and her cold and moon-like eyes fell on Wufeng's face, "Even if So, why didn't Wufeng take the opportunity to recover Heshuo?"
Published Wufeng did not expect that his unintentional words would lead to such an unanswerable topic, he wanted to avoid it, but when he saw the other party's clear and water-like eyes fixed on his face motionlessly, he fell silent for a while, Couldn't find the right words to answer.
Published "Could it be that Wufeng also has an unspeakable secret? The Taiping bandits are a gang of mobs. They were originally some foolish people who used the teachings of cults to confuse the people and took advantage of the policy mistakes in certain parts of the empire to coerce them. As time goes by, the people are gradually realizing it. Its original appearance is like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished with a wave of hands, why is Wufeng unwilling to do something that conforms to the will of the people and make such a great contribution for the empire?" Although the girl's tone of voice was gentle, her words entered the heart. Heart, quite a bit of persuasion.
Released "Uh, Yutang doesn't know something. Although the Heshuo Taiping Rebellion did something against the sky, it won the full support of the lower-level fools for a while. If you want to see the evil results of these measures It will take some time. I think that since the Third and Fourth Legions of the Empire have been formed, and the Eighth and Ninth Legions are also actively preparing for the formation, maybe the central government of the Empire has long intended to calm down and train troops. Let alone fighting against the will of the empire's central government, it might ruin the chance for the empire to train its soldiers." After a long time of preparation, Ai Ai, who had no talent, squeezed out a few insincere words to cover up his explanation.
Publishing Situ Yutang smiled as if he had seen through Wufeng's inner thoughts, and stopped entangled in this topic, and asked Wufeng to rest for a while. You must know that many forces in the imperial capital have come to post. The visits were all declined by Situ Yutang on the grounds that Wufeng was ill and it was not suitable to meet guests for the time being, but such excuses could not last long, and it was only natural for Wufeng to see guests.
The announcement has not yet received the notice from the Imperial Temporary Military and Political Decision-Making Committee. Wufeng and his guards, like other officials from other counties, had to stay outside the imperial capital and wait for orders. It has not been closed, ordinary people can go in and out of the imperial capital, but officials from other provinces like Wufeng have to abide by the decree and wait for the decree to come down.
Release While Wufeng was peacefully waiting for the arrival of the pass order, all the ministers discussing affairs in Jixian Hall in the city were also feeling headaches for Wufeng's arrival.
Announced that many ministers did not welcome the arrival of Wufeng, but His Majesty the Emperor passed away. It is a common etiquette to order officials from all over the country to attend the State Funeral Ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor. The governor of the administrative region, and she also has the identity of the unmarried son-in-law of the seventeenth princess of the empire. These two special identities have to order each other to enter Beijing due to emotion and reason. But when this order was issued, many people thought that Wufeng They dare not go to Beijing in person. If Wufeng does not come, many people have already thought about what kind of words they will use to condemn and reprimand Li Wufeng. What they get at this time is that Li Wufeng has come at the risk of being assassinated, and he is already waiting outside the city. , which disappointed many people and gave rise to various worries and worries.
Announced, "Everyone, Li Wufeng, the Military and Political Governor of the Northwest, and His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Princess have arrived outside the city, and are now waiting for the committee to issue a pass. I hope you can come up with your opinions as soon as possible, so that I can make arrangements." Ma Yuan, the head of the Guard Corps, looked a little tired. For a while, everyone felt that the current head of the army who was in charge of life and death in the imperial capital had been in a low mood. Maybe it was the death of His Majesty the Emperor that made him a little bit disappointed, but as a ban It seems that the head of the Guard Corps should cheer up more.
Published "Master Ma, you just saw it. Everyone's views on this matter are somewhat inconsistent. We also want to hear your opinion." Deliberately repressed and low-key, his gray hair is combed extraordinarily radiantly, it is already late autumn, but his thin face is full of red, obviously some people look refreshed on happy occasions.
Regarding Li Wufeng's opinion on entering the city, the military and political decision-making committee had a huge disagreement. Both Ning Yuanwang and Jilin were opposed to allowing Li Wufeng to enter the city. According to their opinion, Li Wufeng should only be allowed to enter the city on the day of His Majesty's burial. After attending the funeral, send Li Wufeng out of the city and return to the northwest. Try not to interfere with Li Wufeng’s speech when it comes to the candidate for the throne. The reason is that Li Wufeng and Situ Yutang are fiancée, and Situ Yutang is from the royal family, so he is easily affected by blood relationship and family affection. Therefore, it is impossible to fairly select suitable candidates for the emperor. However, this was opposed by the Minister of Finance Tian Yi and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Saridan. They both believed that Li Wufeng was a powerful enemy of the empire's western defense, and they conquered the nomads who had been plagued by the western border of the empire in one fell swoop. It is obviously unreasonable to do so. As for the candidate for the throne, the military and political decision-making committee has not come up with a feasible selection plan so far. It seems unreasonable to deprive Li Wufeng of the right to know and to make suggestions based on this point.
Release Lu Wenfu, the Minister of Internal Affairs who plays an important role in the decision-making committee, has not made a clear statement, but Ma Yuanxiang can't wait, because he has to let Li Wufeng enter the city, and he has to obey. It's just that he is not a member of the decision-making committee. Although he controls the power to open the four doors, he must obtain the approval of the decision-making committee in terms of procedure.
Published "My lords, Ma is just a soldier, and it is his duty as a soldier to obey orders. Since it is decided that the decision-making committee will handle all affairs, Ma thinks it is better for the decision-making committee to decide this matter. But Ma Someone was thinking, this Li Wufeng was originally His Majesty's son-in-law, and now he came from the northwest to pay homage to His Majesty, if he is not allowed to enter the city, it will be unreasonable anyway, I think the adults seem to be a little worried about him, but this is the capital of the emperor, not the northwest No matter how powerful he is, he only brought three or four hundred people to Beijing this time, and it was to protect his own life. Everyone knows that he was indeed attacked in Hanzhong and Yueyang, and the damage was not serious. How many storms can it cause in our imperial capital with just these two or three hundred people?" Ma Yuan looked down on the group of literati in front of him from the bottom of his heart. He was panicked about anything, and even small matters such as whether to allow Li Wufeng to enter the city needed to be discussed and studied. He really didn't understand that Li Wufeng's entry into the city would change the current situation of the empire?
Publishing what Ma Yuan said made Ning Yuanwang and Jilin feel hot. Of course they could hear the sarcasm in each other's words, but what the other said made sense Li Wufeng alone plus one or two hundred guards is nothing compared to the existing military force in the imperial capital. Could it be that he can really shake the sky? Ning Yuanwang coughed dryly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by the Minister of the Interior who had not spoken: "Master Ma is right, Li Wufeng is already under the city, if he is not allowed to enter the city, it will inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion. Not Northwest, if he really has any intention of disobedience, then he is seeking his own death! As for the candidate for the throne, I think if he has the right to speak out, then don’t the representatives of Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan also have this power? I don't think this case can be opened!"
Seeing that Lu Wenfu had made his statement, Ning Yuanwang had a look of resentment on his face, but he also knew that since it was a foregone conclusion, there was no need to offend others too much, so he echoed: "In this case, Mr. Ma Go and issue a pass, but please ask Lord Lu to send someone to remind Li Wufeng that it is the period of national mourning, please pay attention to your behavior, otherwise if a supervisor impeaches him at the court meeting, it will not look good."
Release Wufeng stood in front of his mansion and silently watched all this. Last year and today, in this door, people's faces are filled with peach blossoms, and people's faces don't know where they are going. Save, the giver will go. A touch of sadness creeps into Wufeng's heart, although Wufeng also clearly knows that His Majesty is not a qualified emperor, but after all, he has been favored by the other party, and climbed from a small regiment captain in the imperial army to the role he is today, Rong Hua Wealth, power, beauty, money and mansions, all of these are inseparable from the rewards of the other party no matter what the purpose is, but now, he is already lying in the Temple of Heaven. Let's take a picture.
Release gently pushed open the wooden door of the study room, there were still books from the past on the desk, the servants were obviously very diligent, the study room was still clean, and all the furnishings remained unchanged from when he left, the only one It's probably just me who has changed. In the main living room, the calligraphy and painting of "Quietness and Indifference" still hangs in the middle of the wall, and the large carved chair has a dark color, which seems to usher in the second political climax of the master.
Released back to the study and sat down, Wu Feng casually picked up a book and flipped through it, the bookmark imprint seemed to show that he was here more than two years ago when he was reading books and papers in his spare time. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to reminisce about his love affairs in the imperial capital during the past few years, and the scenes of walking around Mazhangtai and singing in Qinlou passed before Wufeng's eyes again, how ephemeral it was For a period of time, I have never had such a free and easy time since I returned to the Northwest, and I will never have it again in the future.
Release Sitting silently in the study, Wufeng stayed there for an hour, the pagoda trees outside the window were shivering in the cold wind, and the dead branches and fallen leaves curled up in the inner courtyard made rustling sounds, everything seemed like In the dream, Wufeng leaned his head on the back of the grand master's chair and rested in peace. All kinds of past events flooded his mind, and the study room seemed to be filled with a feeling of going back in time. At this moment, he even felt that everything in the world had become static He couldn't remember what his real purpose in coming to the imperial capital was, and the time passed like this, until the guards quietly opened the door to check, worrying about something wrong. Wufeng woke up from the memories of the past.
Release Su Jie and Qin Shuangying noticed Wufeng's bad complexion immediately, and they both asked Wufeng with concern, but they both shamelessly shirked the past, Wufeng didn't want his bad mood to affect others, especially Under such circumstances, Su Jie, who came to the imperial capital for the first time, was obviously unprepared for the prosperity of the imperial capital. Seeing such magnificent architectural walls and vast pavilions and pavilions in the imperial capital, she was already intoxicated. Although she had heard about the prosperity of the Imperial Capital for a long time, she was still shocked when she first saw the splendor of the largest city in the Eastern Continent. If it wasn't for her own mission, I'm afraid she would have asked Qin Shuangying to take her out for a good tour immediately.
Published "Li Wufeng has entered the city?" The obese man comfortably put his feet in the wooden basin, let the hot steam from the hot water make his entire calf blush, and sighed sighing~IndoMTL.com ~The medicinal liquid mixed with a variety of precious medicinal materials soaks the feet very comfortably. Although the feet are a little bit hot, it is precisely this temperature that can achieve the best effect.
Released "Yeah, I heard that some old guys from the military and political decision-making committee debated for a long time before finally agreeing, hehe, these guys were frightened by Li Wufeng's force. I don’t know what these guys are thinking, there are more than 100,000 Central Guards gathered in a majestic imperial city, how can they still be afraid of Li Wufeng who is alone?” The middle-aged man sitting on the side enjoying the same treatment is no slimmer than the fat man How many, with a bong in his mouth, thick smoke is ejected from the nasal cavity to form overlapping smoke rings, and his speech seems to be a little slurred.
Published "It's no wonder they, His Majesty managed to trap Li Wufeng in the imperial capital the year before last, but due to the turmoil in the northwest, Li Wufeng had to be released. Now that His Majesty has gone, they all thought that Li Wufeng would not dare to come to Beijing. What's the matter, isn't it a bit courageous?" The obese man seemed to know Li Wufeng very well, he narrowed his eyes that looked a little swollen, and snorted softly: "Don't worry. Don't underestimate this guy, anyone who underestimates him will eventually fall into his palm."
Released "Well, he came here, I don't know which ones are happy and which ones are sad, and your highnesses are busy." The middle-aged man exhaled another puff of smoke ring, rolled his eyelids and said again: " But it's hard to say, Li Wufeng heard that he was attacked continuously in Hanzhong and Yueyang, especially in Yueyang, even the boats were burned, it seems that there are many people who don't want him to go to Beijing, wow, he can mobilize such a large number of people in my Wuhu area There are only a few of them, but I have spent a lot of thought and there is no news, it is really evil!"
