Chapter 551 A dead end
From the Ministry of War to the Privy Council, I asked where they were every ten or eight days, but there was no prompting. The Xuyi Army's journey was getting slower and slower.
The sun was still high above the head that day, which was just after noon, and Pu Gaoming's large tent of the Chinese army was already set up.
A middle-aged man dressed as a long attendant went straight to the Chinese army's tent. The sound of reporting came into the tent. Pu Gaoming hurriedly called in. Looking at the long attendant who came in after lifting the curtain, he raised his hand to screen away the guards and ordered:
"Please come, Mr. Hu, quickly."
Mr. Hu hurried into the big tent following the footsteps of the young man. When he saw Chang Sui, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the person who went to the capital to inquire about something had returned.
During this period of time, to be precise, since he received the order to let Xuyi's army enter the capital, he has been thinking about it.
There is the Gaoyou Army in front, the Jiangyin Army in the back, and the Xuyi Army, at least General Pu, has as much blood and evil in its hands as the Jiangyin Army and the Xuyi Army.
The other two armies were ordered to be transferred to the north. Only the Xuyi Army was transferred to the capital. Why would a garrison like the Xuyi Army, which was almost dead, be transferred to the capital? It is only right to transfer it to the north, retrain, and fight outside the pass to see blood.
.
"Say it." Seeing Mr. Hu come in, Pu Gaoming ordered the middle-aged man.
"Yes, it is indeed the second master of the Feng family who was escorted into the capital." The middle-aged man greeted Mr. Hu and answered with a lowered hand.
He was sent to the capital to inquire about Feng Jie being escorted into the capital.
"I heard that Feng Jie entered the capital and went directly to the Changsha Palace to find Jin Xiang. Early the next morning, Jin Xiang brought Feng Jie to the morning court.
It was said that in the morning, Feng Jie said in front of the emperor that his father Feng Fuhai was killed by a killer sent by the Jiang family. He also said that everything the Feng family did was ordered by Empress Jiang, and that the Feng family was accused.
That case was framed by the Jiang family.
The reason why the Jiang family wanted to frame their Feng family was because in the 17th year of the reign of peace, Empress Jiang asked him to kill Privy Bai and his family. Feng Fuhai defied the rules and spared Privy Bai and his family. Empress Jiang was so angry that she wanted to kill Feng Fuhai.
Home."
Pu Gaoming's eyes widened when he heard this, and Mr. Hu frowned.
"The emperor issued a decree in court, detaining Empress Jiang in the palace and not allowing her to move around, and asked Prime Minister Yan to conduct a thorough investigation into the Feng family's case. At the end of May, the case was closed. It was said that there was no evidence, and what Feng Jie said was a false accusation. However,
Feng Jie was only sentenced to three thousand miles of exile. Later, the emperor's decree came down and he didn't say anything else. He only said that Feng Jie was pitiful and rare, and he was released in court.
However, in the evening, Feng Jie climbed up to Pan's Restaurant, jumped from the roof to the street, and fell to his death on the spot."
"What a man!" Pu Gaoming patted the table a few times, admiring with emotion.
"What's the gossip in the capital about this matter?" Mr. Hu asked, frowning.
"Everyone says what Feng Jie said is true. However, Empress Jiang is the emperor's empress, and her son has established a prince. From now on, she will be the emperor's mother and queen mother. How can Feng Jie fail to sue?" The middle-aged man is not very good at talking.
, dry, but it can be considered concise and to the point.
"There is one more thing, a big one." The middle-aged man glanced at Mr. Hu, "The day before I came back, General Bai suddenly left the capital with his people. It's not difficult to find out. Just go to the Privy Council and the Military Department and ask someone for a few questions.
, it is said that the generals of the two armies heading north suddenly died of illness, and General Bai Xiao suddenly left Beijing to take over the two armies."
"What!" Pu Gaoming screamed. Mr. Hu shook his hand and pulled out a few beards. He didn't know whether it was painful or frightened by this incident, and his cheeks twitched several times.
"Two generals died of illness together? What illness? How is the army now? Did they really die of illness?" Mr. Hu straightened his upper body and asked repeatedly.
The middle-aged man kept shaking his head, "I don't even know. It seems that the Ministry of War and the Privy Council don't know either. The younger one was at the gate of the Privy Council, listening to two clerks gossiping, saying that they didn't know what was going on in the army. I asked
They all said they didn’t know whether one general died of illness or both, and they didn’t know anything else.”
"I'm anxious." Mr. Hu leaned back in his chair and made a self-examination before looking at Pu Gaoming. Pu Gaoming signaled to the middle-aged man, "This mission was well done. You have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest."
"
The middle-aged man thanked him and bowed out.
"What do you think, sir?" Pu Gaoming asked anxiously as soon as the middle-aged man left the tent.
"What Feng Jie said is that at least the interception of Privy Bai was certain." Mr. Hu slowly stroked his beard.
Pu Gaoming frowned and hummed, "The most poisonous woman's heart, this old woman can really do it!"
"Everyone in the Jiang family is ruthless. It seems that the prince is very stable." Mr. Hu continued, "But the two generals who are going north, from my perspective, I am afraid that both generals are already in danger."
"What do they want to do!" Pu Gaoming's anger was filled with fear.
"At the beginning, there were five troops stationed in the army. The Gaoyou Army and both families were wiped out long ago. The Gaoyou Army was dismantled by Privy Bai and then it was the Jiangyin Army. Feng Jie said that the case was the revenge of Empress Jiang. This
I don’t agree with that. I don’t know whose handiwork was responsible for the case that put Jiangyin’s army at risk.”
Mr. Hu's voice was gloomy, with a deep chill in it.
Pu Gaoming shuddered slightly. He said similar words. When he received the order, Mr. Hu told him that the imperial court was going to completely clear out the five garrison troops. The Gaoyou Army was the overlord who took the bow and succeeded by luck.
Later, he didn't dare anymore. When he arrived at the Jiangyin Army, he used some tricks. He first accused the Feng family and arrested Feng Fuhai's family. The Jiangyin Army was also at the mercy of the imperial court.
However, the matter of being accused was not handled smoothly. The Jiangyin army rebelled, and the Jianghuai and Zhejiang provinces were in turmoil. When the Xuyi army arrived, the court changed its tactics and sent the Xuyi army to Beijing, while the other two armies went north.
The day Xuyi's army arrived in the capital was also the day Pu Gaoming was executed.
"Up to now, there are five generals stationed in the army. The only general who is still alive today is the general." Mr. Hu looked at Pu Gaoming and sighed.
Pu Gaoming's face became even more ugly.
"What kind of charges are they going to put on me? They..." Pu Gaoming's toughness was instantly shattered by Mr. Hu's gaze and a wry smile. "According to what Mr. Hu said, what we are going on now is a dead end, isn't it?"
"That's what I think." Mr. Hu sighed repeatedly, "To be honest with the general, I have been thinking about this since he received the order to bring his headquarters to Beijing. The lives of people in the hands of the general...sigh."
"Have you come up with any ideas?" Pu Gaoming asked with a frustrated look on his face, but he stared at Mr. Hu unwillingly.
