Devil’s Advent

Chapter 660: Lord Hou asks the crime!

The wind in Yingdu has finally calmed down;

It's about the prince's mansion,

take it high,

Put it down again.

The reason why I say high is because that night, all the soldiers and horses from the big battalion outside the city of the city patrolling department of the various ministries poured in, it was really a big battle.

Just let it go, why is it still heavy?

Because it is right to let go of the prince's mansion;

There was no news of Prince Cheng's sudden death from a serious illness, nor any specific crimes to be punished.

A lot of people in the palace were arrested. Of course, after the guards of the palace were chopped off early, these eunuchs and maids arrested more and took less, so they couldn't cause trouble;

may follow,

It is the real method of the new prefect Xu Wenzu;

The assassination incident is a foreshadowing; soldiers and horses enter the city, this is a warm spot; Lord Pingxi is in the city, this is a paperweight; the matter of the palace is confusing, but there will obviously be a lot of unclean things behind it.

breach, excuse, gap,

Too much too much;

Xu Wenzu arrested a group, deprived a group, demoted a group, fined a group,

Even Gou Moli was extremely surprised;

Xu is the wild man king who first learned military affairs, and then won people's hearts and tribes on the snowy field. Because of limited conditions, what he played was rough work;

A real court, a real officialdom, has order and checks and balances, and you can't just shout: come here, pull it out and chop it up.

It's not a barbecue, it's not a stew,

Instead, facing a piece of tofu, it takes a lot of energy and profound effort to carve out a lifelike object;

Xu Wenzu showed Gou Moli what the real means of officialdom are,

Lord Pingxi is drowsy,

Gou Moli was hooked!

In this wave of cutting and fighting, Xu Wenzu quickly controlled the situation. Next, it will take a while to simmer and continue to recuperate.

When Xu Pangpang took office,

I already have a strategy in my heart, and I am ready to spend a long time to achieve this goal;

Who knows that the plan can't keep up with the changes,

After a gust of southeast and northwest wind blows randomly,

In this way, he actually completed more than half of his plan to weaken Yingdu's old bureaucratic system.

Originally, he was thinking of spending a few years in his job, slowly doing it, and then having the remaining half a year in Yingdu, drinking tea, reminiscing, waiting for the job to be over, Things are done, go back to Yanjing and enter the court.

Now, of course Xu Wenzu will not feel frustrated and at a loss because things have been done ahead of time. In fact, he is very happy and satisfied, because it means that he can do more things, to realize more things for Mu Shou. Political aspirations and blueprints.

so,

At the dinner table where Lord Pingxi was bid farewell,

Xu Wenzu was emotional.

I can't be emotional, and I am really happy to be partnered with a person who understands the world and has excellent ability to do things.

Xu Wenzu once had this feeling when he was looking at the city in the south;

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 is really strange that such subordinates do not value or keep cold.

Zhenghou Ye and Xu Wenzu also had a happy drink on the last night,

The two relive the glory days of the past together,

Then we joined hands to look forward to a better future;

Xu Wenzu drank a little too much,

Finally, he patted his heavy chest,

As if drunk but still sober, he said:

Brother Zheng, don't worry, it's not easy for you to establish the Marquis Mansion at the beginning. Yingdu is here, and I have my brother here.

This can be regarded as a political commitment, and the local warlords of the feudal towns and the officials of the frontier 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 Prince Zhenbei's mansion. It can even be said that he is now a casual person;

Su here refers to pure cleanliness.

The relationship with the eldest prince is inseparable,

flirting with Liuye Party,

Respectful to the princelings,

He is not really someone, but everyone thinks this fat man is not bad.

So,

At this time, Xu Wenzu chose to join forces with Zheng Fan, which was logical.

Of course, the main reason for all this lies in the superstructure of Dayan, which has long been tilted into a mess. The three emperors, Emperor Yan, King Zhenbei, and King Jingnan, have formed a political and military system that is extremely deformed in the eyes of other countries. .

If you are in dry country,

When Xu Wenzu came to Yingdu, his first priority was not to cut down any dignitaries in Yingdu, but to stare at the newly established Pingxi Hou Mansion, divide, win over, and suppress. The ultimate goal is to disintegrate this emerging military group .

In the country of Yan, people don't play like this. To be precise, as long as Emperor Yan is still in power for a day, the atmosphere will not change fundamentally.

After receiving Xu Wenzu's promise, Lord Zheng Hou was also satisfied. He knew that unless he raised the flag to rebel, he and Xu Wenzu would always maintain a tacit understanding of political alliance and serve as foreign aid to each other.

This is not the Liuye Party, nor the Princeling Party, but after the establishment of the Hou Mansion, regardless of the military support, politically and in the officialdom, there will inevitably be forces that will actively be attracted.

Of course, this is all for later.

The development of Jindong is inseparable from Yingdu, not only the imperial court’s delivery of money and food to Jindong every season, but also commerce, manpower, transportation, etc. Once Yingdu wants to get stuck in your neck, the Hou Mansion will be very nervous. Uncomfortable, this hidden danger was ruled out because of Xu Wenzu.

Next,

Just keep your head down and do your own thing;

farming,

forging,

business,

It was just a matter of erecting a monument at the gate of Pingxihou's Mansion, and writing: Development is the last word!

that's all,

the next morning,

Lord Zheng Hou led his personal guards out of Yingdu and started his return journey.

After passing Wangjiang and Yupan City, they did not continue to Fengxin City.

before going back,

He has one more thing to take care of.

before,

When I was stationed at Xueguan, relying on the relationship of Yingdu Sun's family and the family relationship of the six sons of the imperial court, I was full of food and enjoyed double or even more treatment than other brother troops;

but something,

Zheng Fan can do it himself,

It doesn't mean that he will be willing to let his subordinates repeat his own story back then.

How many times have I worked so hard on the battlefield to risk my life to lay down the foundation and the team that I have built, how could it be possible for you to make a small fuss under your nose?

In this matter,

Lord Pingxi has zero tolerance.

………

Hi, Major General!

The major general is back!

Haha, Lord Major General.

Gong Lin walked into his father's handsome tent while saying hello to all the uncles.

In fact, the town of Gongwang is a city where soldiers and horses are stationed, but that county town is still under renovation, and it is not suitable for large troops to settle in for the time being, so the commander-in-chief is still placed in the barracks.

Furthermore,

The Marquis of Pingxi went to Yingdu, and he, Gongwang and Gongsun Zhi in the north, led the troops out as a matter of course, to suppress Yupan City, and to build up momentum for the Marquis.

When Gong Lin came in,

Gong Wang is eating, three dishes and one soup, the food is not bad.

Seeing the return of his eldest son, Gong Wang was very happy and beckoned;

Have you eaten, let's eat together.

Gong Lin is the eldest son of Gong Wang, and has been brought by Gong Wang's side since he was a child. In fact, he has already led the army alone.

But ever since he paid homage to the hilltop of the Pingxihou Mansion, Gong Wang sent his eldest son to the side of the Marquis, in the name of being taught by him, but in fact he also meant to be a proton.

only,

Father and son have been separated for a long time, so I naturally miss my son very much.

Facing the amiable father,

Looking at the two white spots that had appeared on my father's temples,

Miyako took a deep breath,

But he didn't choose to sit down to eat with his father,

Instead, he spoke seriously and even with a bit of coldness;

Pingxi Hou Mansion's Commander-in-Chief Gong Wang kneels to accept the order of Lord Hou!

Gong Wang was taken aback for a moment,

I looked at my son carefully for a while, and saw that my son was motionless;

In the commander's tent, there were several documents and some personal soldiers. Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

finally,

Gong Wang put down his chopsticks and walked down.

Gong Lin still stared at her own father with serious eyes, without giving in at all, what he was holding in his hand was the token of Lord Pingxi.

When Dacheng Kingdom was still there, Gong Wang was a general.

These years have also been battle-tested, and the power and influence on him cannot be underestimated.

Not to mention, there is also this layer of father-son relationship, where the father is the son.

But Gong Lin still stood there straight, without too many emotional fluctuations in her eyes.

Gong Wang smiled,

Grabbing his son's shoulders with both hands, he squeezed,

very pleased to say;

My son, I've grown up.

As a father, seeing his son mature, he was naturally relieved.

After sighing,

Gong Wang withdrew his hands, took two steps back, faced his son, and knelt down on one knee:

The last general looks after the palace, waiting for the order of Lord Hou!

for a while,

The clerks and personal guards in the commander's tent also knelt down.

Gong Lin pinched the token, turned her face to the token, and said:

Master Hou asked, Gong Wang, do you know what this Marquis dislikes the most?

Gong Wang didn't answer, this question is too broad.

Gong Lin continued:

Benhou, I don't like my subordinates the most, and I have other thoughts.

The last general doesn't dare, so I ask Lord Hou to check it out!

Gong Wang, you should think it over for Ben Hou. For the reason that you and I have fought together, Ben Hou, I will give you a chance to make it clear in person.

The last general takes orders!

Gong Lin let out a long sigh of relief, and took the token back. Immediately, she took three steps back, knelt down in front of her father, kowtowed three times vigorously and solemnly, and her forehead was blue.

Previously, he was delivering an order, and he knew that what his father kneeled was not himself, but the order of Lord Hou in his hand.

But seeing his own father kneel down to him, as a son, he felt really tormented in his heart, and the only way to pay back was doubled in this way.

Gong Wang smiled, stood up and helped his son up, saying:

Stupid boy, what is this? My father and I, one size counts for one size.

In the handsome tent, the rest of the people also got up.

Father, you committed a crime. Gong Lin said.

Gong Wang sighed, and said: I've heard some rumors that this time the palace seems to be fine, but it has been decimated badly, and many people in the official circles of Yingdu have suffered bad luck.

In fact, Dad and I are also thinking about whether 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, shook his head,

It's Dad's turn, isn't it?

Gong Lin shook his head and said, Master Hou is not such a person.

Gong Wang was noncommittal, retreated behind his handsome desk, sat down, waved his hand, and all the other people in the handsome tent retreated and walked out.

Why did your father and I seek refuge with Lord Hou in the first place? Didn't the plan be that when this day comes, there will be a backer to cover us.

There is a difference between Yan and Jin, at least in these two generations, the distinction between Yan and Jin is still very obvious, and Yan people will always pay attention to the defense of Yan and Jin.

During the war before, all conflicts could be suppressed, but now...hehe, to put it bluntly, it is still better to kill the donkey.

Father, I have been with Lord Hou for some time. In the eyes of Lord Hou, there is really no distinction between Yan and Jin. Even wild people can be reused by Lord Hou. Lord Hou has a great structure.

If it is another father and son, if the son dares to refute his father's point of view in person, the father will probably give him a disdainful smile, and then comment:

Son, you are so naive.

but this time,

Gong Wang obviously listened.

The main reason is not to trust his son's vision, but based on his own understanding of Lord Pingxi.

Previously, when the wind of Yingdu came to him, as a general of the Jin Dynasty instinctively, he had a sense of insecurity stemming from the difference in his own blood;

This is the largest and most fundamental and unshakable worldview.

Now,

Because of his son's words, he can take a moment to think about things below this level.

Then,

Reminiscent of the words of Lord Hou 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, when you do it, you don't feel anything;

Just like when Lord Pingxi ate so much at Xuehaiguan, he only felt that he was relying on his own ability to ask for more money and food, and who should eat it?

But on the other hand, trying to push it from the perspective of Lord Hou, Gong Wang realized what this kind of thing means to the real superiors, and what it means to the newly established system of the Hou Mansion.

In fact, the root cause lies in;

Back then, when Master Zheng's benefiting the public and benefiting private interests dominated, it was Tian Wujing who was on the top of his head. Even if Lao Tian knew about this scene of relying on his ability to eat, he still acquiesced.

Not only acquiescing to this,

Even when Zheng Houye said that the wild man king was in his hands,

Lao Tian just replied:

knew.

And the one above Gong Wang's head is Lord Zheng Hou himself.

Ahem...

Miyazaki started to cough,

road:

It's for the father, I don't think about it.

After figuring out the real problem, Gong Wang relieved the burden instead;

After all, if you make a mistake, you still have a chance to admit it, and Master Hou's message also paves the way for him to admit his mistake; at worst, he will be punished, but he can still correct it. Who can live without making mistakes?

Compared to this, the kind of desire and guilt purely because of Jin's status is what really makes Gong Wang feel desperate.

Now, it's better.

Gong Wang breathed a sigh of relief,

road:

Being a father was frightened before, ha ha.

This is self-deprecating, because the previous him, even in front of his son, could not completely hide his frightened state.

Gongsun Zhi's department pressed tens of miles to the south, and General Liang's department pressed to the west for eighty miles. These two soldiers and horses, like two pincers, have already leaned on each other to be their father.

Wei's father thought that it was Master Hou who wanted to do something to Wei's father.

Now it seems,

It's Lord Hou who is still giving Father a chance.

Gong Lin immediately said: Father, if Master Hou didn't intend to give you a chance, he wouldn't have let his son come over to pass on this order. Master Hou doesn't like trouble the most.

can hear it,

My son, after staying with Lord Hou for a long time, began to worship Lord Hou.

Gong Wang couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed, the one his son originally worshiped should be himself;

As a father, it is inevitable that he will be a little jealous.

For father, I know. For father, prepare for it. All the soldiers and horses stay here. You and my father and son, go to Fengxin City. For father, we must plead guilty to Lord Hou and ask for forgiveness.

Putting down the soldiers and horses and entering Fengxin alone, entering the Marquis' Mansion, is the best gesture, and it is worth more than a thousand words, especially for a general.

Gong Lin shook his head,

road:

Father, no need.

Why not? Gong Wang was a little puzzled.

Gong Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile;

Master Hou said that if father intends to go to Fengxin City alone, he should ask father to be the leader.

A handsome account?

Gong Wang immediately realized what was going on, left the handsome seat, and walked straight out of the handsome tent.

as soon as you come out,

He saw the clerks and personal guards who had gone out from his command tent before were subdued on the ground, with a knife on their necks;

And in front of me,

There were several rows of Hou's personal guards wearing flying fish uniforms, and around these personal guards stood a group of soldiers from the direct line of his command.

They carry swords, they draw bows and arrows,

But what the knife and arrow were aiming at was not these flying fish suits, but the handsome tent he was in!

Armored Central,

there is a chair,

A man sat on a chair,

The man is peeling peanuts, blowing them from time to time, and then throwing them into his mouth to chew.

It was Lord Pingxi!

And standing next to Lord Hou was a direct descendant brought out by his Gongwang, applying the standards of the Yan people, such as the Zhenbei Houfu, this subordinate was equivalent to his adopted son Gongwang.

This adopted son actually doesn't have many soldiers and horses at hand, but on weekdays, he takes on the responsibility of defending his handsome account and serving as the mainstay of the army.

This adopted son betrayed himself.

When I was talking to my son in the handsome tent,

He came in with Master Hou, and quietly controlled the periphery of his handsome tent.

However, it can't be said to be a betrayal, because I am the chief soldier of the Hou family, and his adopted son is actually a general of the Hou family. It is only natural to obey the orders of the Hou family.

In addition, in a further distance, Gong Wang also saw a group of other generals under his command. Their expressions were very tangled, but they were not restrained or guarded. They were actually free, but obviously, they would not Go to mobilize the soldiers and horses for yourself.

because,

Lord Pingxi of Dayan,

others,

already sitting there.

The Marquis of Pingxi is in Yingdu, and the waves of Yingdu cannot be turned over;

Everyone knows that Hou Ye's real prestige lies in the army.

It doesn't make sense that he can suppress the situation in Ying, but he can't suppress it in the army, even if this is the Jin camp.

Gong Wang didn't hesitate any more,

He simply stepped forward,

The guards in flying fish suits on both sides did not stop him,

After getting closer,

Gong Wang knelt down facing Master Zheng who was sitting on the chair:
