Lord of the House

Vol 4 Chapter 38: The King's Proposal

Lin Fu, Zhao Qinmin, Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others did not delay at the estuary and rushed to Li Zhuo's Jiangning to guard the general's mansion.

Li Zhuo was severely restricted in Jiangning, and he couldn't even extend his hands and feet to Jiangning Mansion. However, as the head of the Southeast region, he was facing a national disaster, and everyone had to gather at his mansion for urgent consultation.

Lin Fu and the others rushed over from outside the city. The vehicles of Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy Wang Tian, ​​Jiangning governor Wang Xueshan, and the six ministers of Jiangning and the chiefs of the various temples and temples had all stopped in front of the guarding general's mansion, and hurried to the chamber where the proceedings were held. Ten officers and generals gathered in the courtyard anxiously. They watched Lin Fu, Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others come in, and they all rushed over: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Ma is here..." Many people greeted Gao Zongting and Ma Weihan, but few greeted Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin.

"The commander-in-chief and all of you are discussing matters inside?" Gao Zongting asked.

"There's an incense stick in there," an old and well-qualified official asked Gao Zongting, stroking his long beard, "Mr. Gao, who do you think Jiangdong should lead the army to King Qin of Yanjing?"

Lin Fu stood aside and didn't say a word. The situation in Jiangdong was dangerous. How could the troops be drawn to King Qin?

There is no shortage of troops around Yanjing. In addition to Datong, Xuanhua, and Jibei, there are 200,000 heavy troops. There are eight towns in Yanjing with nearly 100,000 forbidden troops, and Hebei towns have more than 40,000 town troops. The total number of troops stationed in Jinzhong is close to 80,000.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm panicking, and I'm going to break down the Eastern prisoners who are attacking from the edge one by one.

However, Yanjing issued an edict of Qin Wang, which should not be right here; no one could bear the consequences of reckoning after the autumn.

Gao Zongting couldn't figure it out for a while, and he went straight into the bright hall where the adults discussed matters. After a while, a guard came out and summoned Ma Weihan and Lin Bie to go in and listen to the discussion.

In this courtyard, those who participated in politics, councils, and errands, as well as the higher-ranking servants, servants, temple supervisors, court officials, young supervisors, and young ministers in the Jiangning Ministry were not qualified to enter the Mingtang to observe the proceedings. Ma Weihan was by Wang Xueshan’s side. The old man has always been known for being resourceful and decisive. He was called in to listen to the discussion, but he felt that something was wrong. But Lin Fu, a stunned young man who had risen in recent years, was also called in. Everyone looked at each other with various expressions on their faces. Yes, most of them still have doubts and disdain: Is he qualified?

Zhao Qinmin knew in his heart that, no matter what, at this stage, Lin Fu's status as the number one member of Gu Xian's family could not be shaken. Today, Gu Wuchen asked him to go into the Mingtang to listen to the discussion and leave Lin Fu in the courtyard. I am afraid that someone will come to recruit Lin Fu until tomorrow.

Lin Fu didn't care what others thought, and walked in with Ma Weihan. There were more than ten people sitting in the Mingtang. Except for Wang Tian, ​​the envoy of Jiangdong Xuanfu, Gu Wuchen, the inspector, Wang Xueshan, the governor of Jiangning, and Li Zhuo, the guard of Jiangning, the others included the six ministers of Jiangning and the imperial censors of Jiangning. King Qin's question, however, has the right to speak no weaker than that of the prefect. Admiral Zuo Shangrong was supervising the battle in Haozhou, and on behalf of Zuo Shangrong was an old senator from the Admiral's House.

Lin Fu and Ma Weihan came in to greet the adults, and stood behind Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan respectively. It was a great honor for them to come in to listen, so they no longer had to expect a chair to sit on, and it was even more taboo to interject.

On the issue of the King of Diligence, the prefects, including the Admiral's House, the Minister of Xuanfu, the Minister of Justice, the House of Jiangning, and the House of the General Guard are all pragmatic. They are all aware of the current situation in Jiangdong, and the deployment of troops will make the situation in Jiangdong collapse. However, the Sixth Division of Jiangning and the Jiangning Metropolitan Police insisted on sending troops to the king, and the slogan was also loudly shouted: "The emperor is in danger, how can the subjects take care of themselves and not help?"

Whether it is Li Zhuo, Wang Tian, ​​Wang Xueshan or Gu Wuchen, even if they don't want to send troops to the king, they can't say it. Who would leave such a big deal to political enemies?

The issue changed to how to dispatch the army of Qin Wang without affecting and worsening the situation in Jiangdong.

The Sixth Department of Jiangning and the Jiangning Metropolitan Police insisted on sending troops to the King of Diligence, so they came to draft the policy of King of Diligence. It's just that the Jiangning Sixth Division and the Jiangning Metropolitan Inspection Institute do not usually have contact with the specific government affairs of Jiangdong County, and they are not clear about the most basic military deployment of Jiangdong County. Dozens of points were proposed, all of which were refuted by representatives of Wang Tian, ​​Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and the Admiral's House.

"There are 30,000 garrison troops in Jiangning, and the commander-in-chief can lead 20,000 troops on behalf of Jiangdong to rescue the capital." There was no vacancy in Jiangning's minister of personnel, and Yu Xinyuan, the left servant, was the leader. Li Zhuo.

"No," Gu Wuchen directly objected and said, "Li Shuai is the needle of Jiangdong's sea god. With Li Shuai around, Liu thief will not dare to invade the south. If Li Shuai leads 20,000 troops to leave, Jiangning's defense will be empty, and Dongyang Township will not be enough to prepare Liu thief. What should Liu thieves do when they invade the south?"

Jiangning is a firm backup for Dongyang. With Li Zhuo in Jiangning, Dongyang did not bear much pressure from Hong Zepu. Liu An'er had a crowd of 200,000 troops, which should not be underestimated. Once Jiangning's defense was empty, Dongyang would be on the verge of disaster.

This involves Gu Wuchen's fundamental interests in Jiangdong, and there is no room for negotiation.

The foundations of the six departments of Jiangdong and the Metropolitan Police are also in Jiangning City, and they are quite reliant on Li Zhuo and the 30,000 Jiangning garrison. They are also afraid that after Li Zhuo leads his troops away, Liu An'er will use troops in the direction of Jiangning. Gu Wuchen said so, they I also felt a backlash in my heart, saying that this matter should not be taken lightly.

Lin Fu saw that Ma Weihan handed a note to Wang Xueshan, and knew that Ma Weihan had suggestions, but he didn't know what good strategies he had.

After reading the note, Wang Xueshan said: "There is no good solution for the controversy here for a long time. I see that each family, horses, money and food should be shared by each family, and if we collect 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 200,000 silver salaries, there are more people than people. The rich pay more, and then send a seasoned and prudent official to lead the King Qin of Yanjing, what do you think?"

Lin Fu thought that Ma Weihan was really old. His move was to recruit some irrelevant soldiers from each family to form the Qin Wang Army, which would neither affect Jiangdong's deployment nor be politically disadvantaged.

In fact, King Qin of Jinzhong, Shandong, Hekou and Yanjing Jinzhong and Yanshan defense lines had sufficient troops. Even the deployment of troops from Zhongzhou and Western Qin is more advantageous than Jiangdong; but Jiangning, as the southern capital of the imperial court, it is too unreasonable not to send the army of Qin Wang; the dispatch of the army of Qin Wang is only a political statement.

When Wang Xueshan mentioned this strategy, everyone nodded in agreement. This is the only way at the moment, otherwise the quarrel will be delayed, and there will be no countermeasure.

Next is the question of the leader of the army. Wang Xueshan said directly: "There are few people in the world who know the military affairs who can match Li Shuai, and Li Shuai is the head of all the ministers in Jiangdong. I think Li Shuai is the leader of the army."

"It is because there are few people in the world who know military affairs who can match Li Shuai, and Jiangdong needs to keep Li Shuai in charge," Gu Wuchen retorted tit-for-tat, not even giving others a chance to echo, "After Li Shuai left Jiangning, Liu Thief Nan Kou, Who can lead the Jiangning garrison to stop it?"

Li Zhuo's face was as deep as water, nothing changed, but Gao Zongting, who was standing behind him, flashed a sullen look in his eyes.

Lin Bie was fiddling with the front of his clothes, and he knew that Gu Wuchen would definitely not let Li Zhuo lead the army.

Li Zhuo is not only the head of all the ministers in Jiangdong, but if Yanjing is surrounded and killed by the Eastern captives, Li Zhuo will be the highest-ranking and prestige official in the field service Wang Jun. He will lead the army to the Queen of Qin in Yanjing, and it is likely that he will be recommended or elected. Entrusted with the important task of the consul general.

Once he leads the army to successfully expel the Eastern captives, his prestige will reach its peak, and the Chu Party will have difficulty suppressing him to take charge of the Ministry of War.

Although Chen Xinbo was in the middle of the phase, but after all, he still left the current sage to stay in the center, and letting Li Zhuo enter the center became Chen Xinbo's biggest help.

"It's really not suitable for me to leave Jiangning," Li Zhuo said slowly, "you should choose someone else."

Wang Xueshan's mind is also very obvious, and he wants to provoke a fierce conflict between Gu Wuchen and Li Zhuo; Lin Fu can hear the desolation in Li Zhuo's words, and finally does not want to destroy the overall situation of King Qin due to party disputes.

Paiqin Wang Jun mainly expressed his position on politics. The candidates had to be selected from the civil servants. It was not enough if the rank was low. Apart from Li Zhuo, Lin Fu couldn't think of any suitable candidates.

Ma Weihan stood behind Wang Xueshan with his arms folded, his eyes glanced at Gu Wuchen, Wang Xueshan said knowingly: "In the battle of Jiyang, the prestige of the chariot envoy is well-known in Jiangdong, and Li Shuai cannot leave Jiangning, and the leader of the army is not the chariot. The adults are none other than..."

"I don't know much about military affairs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The battle at Jiyang is due to the contributions of Lin Fu, Yang Pu, and other soldiers under my command. Asking me to lead the army is like asking Lord Wang to learn farming. To convince everyone..." Gu Wuchen said, "If you want to say that you are highly respected, it is none other than Lord Wang."

"I absolutely can't do it, Master Gu, don't make a joke about me..." Xuan Fu envoy Wang Tian quickly shook his head.

This is a very dangerous and full of opportunities.

Wang Jun of Tongqin went north to aid the capital, and it was certain that he would take the limelight in politics. If the danger in Yanjing was resolved, the ministers and generals of the unified army would naturally be rewarded. The danger is that in case the Eastern captives are not easy to provoke, and the Qin Wang army is composed of miscellaneous soldiers, it is very likely that they will suffer a defeat, and they will suffer a big defeat.

Wang Tian is so old that he has been dragging his feet to become an official. He just wants to make more money in his position. He has no pursuit in his career. How can he do such a dangerous thing?

Gu Wuchen came to lead the troops, and the Qin Wang army must have Dongyang Xiangyong as the main force. How could Gu Wuchen dare to transfer Dongyang Xiangyong from Dongyang at this time?

In addition to being able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong, Gu Wuchen is inseparable from the support of the Dongyang forces, in addition to the power of the Chu Party. Lin Fu, Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, and Lin Tingli are all representatives of the local forces in Dongyang. The Lin clan retreated to Jiangning, but Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang and even Liu Xilin's hometown is in Dongyang, and the foundation of Dongyang Xiangyong is also there. Dongyang, how could Gu Wuchen ignore Dongyang?

Besides, Gu Wuchen's status has risen to the peak in a short period of time, and it is not worth taking such a big risk to grab the credit of this diligent king.
