Sha Po Lang

Chapter 124 Endgame

This is the first time that the ambiguous Emperor Long'an clearly expressed his stance of destroying the old and establishing the new at the Great Court Meeting. He did not reveal a word to anyone in advance, not only Fang Qin's party, but even the people in the Military Aircraft Department were very inexplicable .

Jiang Chong glanced at King Yan secretly, and thought: "Did my emperor take the wrong medicine?"

There was no abnormality on Chang Geng's face, he stood up immediately and flattered him flatteringly. Although he was playing tricks, he was born with a fairy air of an outsider, and even his posture of flattering seemed very Not to be surprised, to be completely in collusion with Li Feng.

At that moment, someone's expression changed.

Li Feng knew in his heart that Yan Wang wanted to use his power, and that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had their own secrets, but it didn't matter, he could give Yan Wang a step, and he could also make a step for anyone.

This time, Li Feng used two decrees to push the military machine to the cusp. He just wanted to see that those who used the first emperor's Dan Shu iron coupons to talk about things, had no choice but to get this half-way monk who had been called "Father Emperor" all his life. The wild goose king.

This day is destined to be a sleepless night in Jinghua.

In the military aircraft department, Jiang Chong whispered to Chang Geng: "My lord, what should we do, shall we come according to the original plan?"

Chang Geng said without hesitation: "Strike while the iron is hot."

Jiang Chong took a deep look at Chang Geng, and asked again: "My lord, if you push too hard, what if they jump over the wall in a hurry?"

Chang Geng turned his head to look at him, and said meaningfully: "What I'm afraid of is that they won't dance, Brother Han Shi, do you know what is the most useful sentence I've ever learned in my life?"

Out of thin air, Jiang Chong could hear a little jitteriness.

Chang Geng said: "Before the battle, whoever doesn't want to die should die first."

On the way home from the military plane, Chang Geng happened to bump into Fang Qin's car, so he told Huo Dan: "Let Master Fang go first."

Huo Dan responded, and after a while, he ran back to report: "My lord, Mr. Fang said he didn't dare to be rude, and has already moved out of the way."

Chang Geng lifted the curtain of the car, bowed his hands to Fang Qin politely, and the two passed each other in a friendly way, as if they didn't want you to die.

Chang Geng leaned on the carriage, thinking that if he and Fang Qin changed places, at least he would endure the limelight for a while, and wait until the upstarts in the DPRK and China quickly seized the transportation finance. Push it up when the time comes, and just wait silently for Li Feng to make a move—this cobweb-like princes and nobles are full of stories and powers everywhere. Afterwards, there are plenty of opportunities to restore the old system.

Chang Geng also knew that Yi Fang Qin was safe, so he must have thought so in his heart.

So even if he drags everyone to walk the tightrope together, he must never be allowed to wait for this opportunity calmly.

Fang Qin kept watching Yan Wang drive away, and then ordered his family to continue walking. The surrounding twilight, the dusk slowly slipped into the long night, he seemed to vaguely see the general trend like a vein, rushing in front of him like a torrent of water And pass.However, he was powerless to stop him. The long embankment he was stepping on was made of sand. It looked mighty and majestic, but in fact he had no way to use it. It was the boundless world that was against him.

Back at Fang Mansion, as usual there were already guests waiting at the mansion, Master Fang didn't care about cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism, so he personally received them in the front hall.As soon as Fang Qin entered, everyone stood up and looked at him with different expressions.

Fang Qin had an ominous premonition again: "Father, what's wrong?"

Master Fang said with a serious face, "Your righteous sister was convicted of colliding with the middle palace in the palace today. She was just grounded and her relatives are not allowed to visit."

Mrs. Fang had a very good relationship with the emperor's wet nurse, Zhao, and jokingly let Fang Qin's third younger brother recognize Zhao as his adoptive mother. There was no Fang Qin's business here, but she was just a polite cousin, and she also called Zhao in front of outsiders. Shi's daughter who was on duty in the palace was called the "righteous sister".

Fang Qin asked in astonishment, "Why?"

"Why? There is no need for any reason," Fang Dashi said slowly, "Thinking about how the superior treated Gu Yun as an 'uncle' back then, since he was a child, he was very affectionate, and he was sent to prison for just a word of disagreement, let alone Our generation—the current generation is mean and ungrateful, ruthless and ungrateful, it really makes people feel chilling."

Fang Qin's thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately turned his head and told his family: "Let someone send a letter to Zhao Guogong immediately, telling him to stop playing such childish moths, and accept it as soon as he sees it."

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the field, and someone immediately stood up and objected: "Master Fang, why are you turning your elbow out again?"

Fang Qin ignored the others, just stared at Fang Dashi and said, "Father, can't you see that the emperor is not the first emperor, and everything can only follow him. If you let him feel that he is being persecuted, he will definitely be punished." His backlash, we want to eradicate Yan Wang's party, what's the use of challenging the emperor?"

Before Grand Master Fang opened his mouth, Fang Qin continued to speak harshly: "I really want to keep my third brother, but if this goes on, then the third brother will not be folded in. Everyone here is my own, let me say something It’s not good to hear, do you really think that Zhao Guogong wiped his own butt clean? If King Yan catches the opportunity to make use of the problem, he can only be more passive at that time! You don’t let it repair a mere railway line, except to add some trouble to Li Min In addition, is there any real effect? ​​Gu Yun still said to mobilize troops, so that your foreign affairs team can't reach the front line in time! What else can you do? Just cut off the front line supplies and betray the country?"

He had been unhappy for a long time, and he yelled out all at once, without even giving his father any face. The place was quiet for a moment, and then someone said: "Then Master Fang is planning to swallow this breath?"

Fang Qin: "..."

He found that he had no way to communicate with these people, especially after Master Fang came out of the mountain again.

Presumably something is dying, and it is not caused by external storms. If there are many families in a large country, each surname does not need to be many, and there can be one person in a generation who can be the head of the family. It is not necessary to be surprised by the talent, and it is not necessary to rule it. Martial arts, as long as the brain is clear, self-knowledge enough, and understand what one should do and what not to do-then relying on the accumulation of generations, even if the Yan Wang Party has three heads and six arms, it will definitely not climb over them.

Fang Qin looked around, sneered without anything to say, and walked away.

Fang Dashi sat upright with his eyes down, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said, "The dog has no shape, I made everyone laugh."

Beside him was a public official who was so old that he could hardly keep his eyes open, said in a low voice: "Second Young Master is very talented, but after all, he is a bit younger and more energetic."

Considering Fang Qin's age, he really can't be called "young and vigorous", but Master Fang shook his head meaningfully: "Indeed, he was still young when Emperor Wu reigned, and he hadn't experienced those things, and he lacked some experience. I think it’s better not to let the younger generation know some things, so as to save them from looking forward and backward. It’s not bad enough. The old brothers who pushed the late emperor to the throne are still here. Go back and save up the children and grandchildren of each family, and maybe there will be something that can be done. Strength... But what my unfilial son said is also right, let Zhao Guogong restrain his pediatric methods recently, one blow can't kill, what is the effort? It's not enough to make people laugh."

However, Yan Wang did not give Zhao Guogong a chance to restrain himself.

On the second day, the booklet from the Lingshu Academy declared that the steam car had undergone strict tests and everything was ready, and earnestly asked Emperor Long'an to see it with his own eyes.Li Feng gladly took the prince there, and even sat for a while in person, but before returning to the palace, he received a note from Yao Zhen urging the railway track line, which successfully relieved the anxiety in Emperor Long'an's heart stand up.

At night, Yushitai sent the last straw that ignited the emperor's anger.

Yu Shitai participated in several crimes, such as Zhao Guogong's imperial court, conniving family embezzlement, plundering farmers' land at low prices, and so on.

The Canal Office and the Lingshu Institute, which are jointly in charge of the steam railway line, hurriedly followed up to set up the seedlings, followed by a large number of people who deliberately contributed to the flames, and quickly detonated the situation. The rising channel that had been slowly congested since the last years of Emperor Wu was pried open by him.

Reports of illegal land occupation in various places broke out one after another in a premeditated manner, and finally implicated Daliang's long-standing problem of illegal land occupation.

Immediately, a few people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal stood up and demanded that the whole territory be checked——

Of course, this absurd proposal was rejected by Li Feng. Even if Li Feng wanted to give power to the aristocratic family, he had to gradually disintegrate it. He didn't have such a big appetite once.

However, Zhao Guogong, a stupid bird in his early years, couldn't get away. He was arrested within a few days, and then a lot of tyrannical disciples were implicated. The storyteller in Wangnanlou compiled a new set of books in two days, and there are many fans.

When the prince just started hearing, he came across such a big case. The young boy gained a lot of knowledge, and he was stunned by the sidelines, so he gained a lot of insight.

When he was about to go down to court, King Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "What do you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

The little prince was well protected by Li Feng. He was innocent and innocent. He had once been ordered by Li Feng to "consult" his Fourth Emperor's Uncle. Hearing Chang Geng's question, he blurted out what he was taught without hesitation: "Han Fei There is a saying, "If the ruler is incapable, then the superiors will be concealed, and if the ministers are incapable, the subordinates will be in chaos." The stability of the country depends on the law. There are virtuous, foolish, loyal and traitorous people, and there are right and wrong in things. If it’s rampant, then...wouldn’t those in power be unable to control it?”

His childish voice was still childish, like a schoolboy who was picked up in class to answer the master's questions, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Chang Geng expectantly.

Chang Geng smiled and said nothing, while Li Feng reprimanded him with a straight face: "According to the scriptures to show off, go back and study hard, don't slack off."

The prince didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bow his head to answer, but his childish words were spoken by those who didn't want to listen to them, but those who wanted to.

People who judge others by themselves, even if they see a half-grown child, they will feel that this person is as full of scheming as themselves, and every sentence is hidden.

That night, the words of the 11-year-old prince spread like wildfire from the deep palace. University scholar Fang, without telling Fang Qin, gathered together a group of old wolves who had supported the late emperor, and took every spittle of the prince Pulled it out and analyzed it again, and understood what Li Feng meant.

"It's been three generations," Fang Dashi said with a sneer, "God's grace is hard to come by, and you must have seen it. The emperor let the prince take charge of the government because he is determined to want the lives of us old people."

Another person said: "If it wasn't for Uncle Wang Guo who messed up the situation, we planned well, maybe King Yan would have been deprived of the throne for confusing the royal lineage, and sent to a remote place, and the wild species that crawled out from anywhere would dare to ride on us. Show off your power above your head, Brother Fang, you must stop, you will definitely suffer from chaos."

There was a sharp mark on the cheeks of Dashi Fang, he looked around slowly, and said in a low voice: "Everyone might as well write down what's on your mind."

Many years ago, this group of ambitious conspirators got together and showed their palms, with the names of Yuan and Emperor Xian written on them. Let's spread out our old hands together——

"Mr. Qing's side."

"Mr. Qing's side."

"On the side of the Qing emperor, the eldest son of the emperor has no mother."

……

"Back then, the old man pretended to be sick on King Su's road because he had learned in advance of his plan to go to Beijing secretly, so he asked the eldest princess to order him to be intercepted by the North Camp. Wang Baikou." Fang Dashi whispered in a low voice, "now you have seen the situation in the capital, how to strike first, who can use it, presumably come today, everyone has a charter."

Master Fang was not in a rush, he knew that it would be impossible to mobilize the Peking University without the Gu family standing by their side this time.And since the last time the Imperial Forest Army Liu Chongshan rebelled, the Imperial Forest Army has also made a lot of adjustments. Anyone with more than a hundred households must go through strict inspections to confirm that the family background is innocent and the military achievements are genuine, so as to prevent some people from taking advantage of loopholes. , check each other, do not interfere with each other, and strictly guard against someone in the forest army covering the sky with one hand and committing chaos.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The Daliang family is divided into civil and military, and the generals also have princely families. However, most of them have declined. Otherwise, there would be no one in the Yuanhe period to let a half-grown child lead the army.After these famous generals who were born on the back of their ancestors, if they are not good at writing or military, they will enter the Imperial Forest Army through the back door like Liu Chongshan, spend a few years with seniority, and then find an excuse to make a fortune in the military and rise to the top.

After many years of working together, these young soldiers and real soldiers have formed a special ecology. The two sides give each other face, which can not only ensure combat effectiveness, but also take into account the relationship and face.

Unfortunately, this balance was destroyed by Li Feng after the mutiny of the Imperial Forest Army.

The enraged edict of the superiors may have been self-righteous, but no one reminded Li Feng who was in a fit of anger at that time, and let him block the dreams of the young masters in the capital from being promoted.

Which family's young master is not spoiled?Who can be willing to be a small military household for the rest of his life?

It is not terrible to offend the young master. The important thing is that in the early years of the Liang Dynasty, martial arts were valued over literature. The ancestors left a privilege-the military meritorious knight can support the family, retain part of the armed forces, and shelter future generations. In times of crisis, they can be used as the last battle force of the country. When Liu Chongshan, Lu Chang and others rebelled, Fang Qin used this batch of combat power to contain the rebels and dragged them to the Peking University Camp.

Fang Dashi looked around and said: "Gu Yun has increased his troops to the southwest, and at the same time he is making a big move in the East China Sea. There are not many people in his hands. Right now, his men are all guarding in the four regions, and the North Camp is not allowed to enter unless summoned. Li Min is just trying to gain fame. I don't like many people around, and I just follow one or two old things wherever I go. I heard that he is good at riding and shooting, but he has only played a few times on the tower. Forgive him and he can't crush a few nails. , it's not difficult to get rid of him—but I don't know if you want to be 'dark and clear' or 'bright and clear'?"

Someone nearby asked: "Dare to ask Fang Gong, what is darkness and what is light?"

Just listen to this great scholar who has only been halfway through the court without changing his expression: "If you want to be dark, you only need to invite two or thirty dead men to lie in ambush on Li Min's way down at night, intercept and kill them, and drown the evidence, and so on. The time was calm and nothing happened, and the emperor had nothing to do. If you want to reveal...then you have to let the emperor know who is the loyal minister and good general, who protected his country, and how the rebellious ministers and thieves were brought down ——And who can take care of the crown prince.”

"This...Mr. Fang, I'm afraid it won't be easy." The one who spoke was the son of Marquis Pingning, one of the three marquises of the capital. The old marquis had long since passed away. After getting out of the door a few times, he didn't look like a famous general at all, but his mind was unexpectedly clear. At this time, he said, "Let's not talk about how to avoid the Imperial Forest Army and the imperial guards when you do it, just say that if you succeed, the emperor Nanning will be the one who will help you." Yu Sui is not a temper of Wa Quan, won't he pursue it to the end? The thorns in the North Camp are indeed dead, and now honestly they cannot enter unless they are summoned, so what if the emperor really summons them in a fit of anger? Just say they It’s far away, so what about the imperial guards in the palace and the imperial forest outside the palace? The mutiny of Liu Chongshan and Lu Chang’s party has not yet passed, so I’m afraid it will not be that easy.”

"There are not guards in the palace for all occasions, and the Imperial Forest Army can't enter everywhere. The emperor's birthday will be half a month away. This year, there will be good news on the front lines of the two rivers in the East China Sea. The sycophants of the Ministry of Rites will definitely take this opportunity to make big arrangements. But There will be a lot of loopholes," Fang Dashi wrote lightly, "As for the emperor's attack after the incident..."

When he said this, his voice paused, he smiled, and raised his narrow and slightly drooping eyelids: "Then we have to let him 'not get angry'...Why, you really think that without Li Min, the emperor will easily Let us go? You all heard what the crown prince said in court this morning. The crown prince is a little boy who understands important national affairs. Who taught him those words? He is only 11 years old, and he is full of 'law is not merciful'. 'Go to the Pengniing Party', pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in court, you are almost pointing at our noses and saying that we are all villains, everyone should stop, is it possible to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future and give him a white silk?"

This statement is not cryptic, it is deviant and shocking.Master Fang is worthy of being an old minister who has experienced entrusting Yuan and the first emperor to power. Change his motherless elder brother to be a puppet."

Marquis Ping Ning was dumbfounded for a long time, and stammered a little bit to ask another terrible question: "Then... how could Gu Yun just let it go?"

"The foreign affairs mission is still on the way, and everything has been arranged," Fang Dashi smiled lowly, "The front line, the foreign bandits who are eyeing the tiger, and the mission—why, such a favorable time and place, don't you remember what happened 20 years ago? What have you been?"

A storm is brewing in the center, but Yan Wang at the mouth of the storm still seems to be unconscious, and he is still working every day, sparing no effort to implement his new policy.

And just happily received a letter from Gu Yun.

This letter was sent directly to Gu Yun's home, it was a family letter from beginning to end, when Huo Dan handed it to him, Chang Geng's eyes that suddenly lit up caused Huo Tong to blush.

"Has he grown three heads and six arms?" Chang Geng lifted the envelope up to the light, carefully observed the contents through the envelope, and half-truthfully complained to Huo Dan, "while dealing with foreigners, On the one hand, he still has this kind of leisure, let me say what is good about him."

The Hou Mansion has never had a "hostess" in the traditional sense. Hob, the personal guard, vaguely knows something, but it is still difficult to adapt to it, especially unable to discuss his family letter with this "other master" with a special status.Hearing King Yan's words, he felt that his role had changed from a family leader to a naughty nanny, so he poked aside in embarrassment, acting as a blushing and thick-necked doorpost.

Since the start of the war, it was the first time that Gu Yun sent such a thick letter to Chang Geng. Chang Geng was a little reluctant to open it for a while, so he took the envelope in his hand and rubbed it repeatedly, and sniffed it lightly with the tip of his nose, as if he could smell something from it. There was a smell of that person in the distance, with a look of obsession.

The blood on Huo Dan's face was about to ooze out from the pores, and he stammered: "My lord, lord, you... what are you doing?"

Chang Geng glanced at him, seemed to think that Huo Dan's red face was very funny, so he intentionally teased him: "Yesterday I dreamed about my adoptive father, and I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so I know what happened once." It's called 'tossing and turning', but I received his letter today, do you think it's a coincidence?"

Huo Dan: "..."

The three words "my adoptive father" made him shiver, and Huo Dan thought bitterly: "What is this young master doing? Why is it that the bigger you get, the more outrageous it is! Come back to life with the princess!"

Chang Geng secretly smiled, and was about to cut open the envelope with a knife, when suddenly, a Linyuan wooden bird came in—the day Liu Zhong came to surrender, Chang Geng didn't quite believe him, and sent two Linyuan pavilions, one bright and one dark, The man accompanied the two rivers, pretending to be a servant of the Liu family, contacting Liu Zhong and the capital, secretly a master, following the envoys to investigate various changes, and sending messages to the capital at any time.

Chang Geng hurriedly put Gu Yun's private letter into his arms, and first opened it to look at the wooden bird.

After a while, he sneered—some people are quite thoughtful.
