Chapter 1147 1148 [Sharpening the knife]

Author: Shangtang Doumiao

The news that Duke Wei Guo was assassinated and injured swept through the entire Kyoto like a violent wind, and even spread to the capital area soon.

In the North Camp of the Beijing Army, in the Festival Hall, Pinghu Guard Commander Jia Quan was sitting on the second chair from the right. Feeling the depressive and angry atmosphere in the hall, he couldn't help but lower his eyes slightly.

The Pinghu Guards are affiliated to the Yaoshan Camp, but they are not direct descendants of the original commander, Xiongwu Hou Lan Yu. Their overall strength is average among the twenty-seven guards of the fifth battalion of the Southern Army. After learning about the news that he was rotated with the Wuding Guards of the Beijing Army's North Camp,

, Jia Quan was both surprised and happy, because the reputation of Duke Pei Yue had already spread all over the world, and the generous treatment of the guards in Beiying was also known to everyone.

After receiving the order, he hurriedly returned to the capital with the Pinghu Guards, covering nearly two thousand miles in only thirty-six days, and settled in the northern suburbs camp after being verified by the officials of the Western Prefecture.

But he never expected that just four days after joining Beiying, without even seeing Pei Yue's face, he would hear such news that sounded like thunder on the ground. What made him feel even more frightened and uneasy was that at this moment, Beiying

The mood of these warriors was obviously not right.

"Bang!"

Cui Meng, the deputy commander of the Tai'an Guard, slapped his palm on the case, causing the teacup to shake and tremble, and then said angrily: "How many times in the past few years have the Duke of Guo not personally taken risks on the battlefield? I didn't expect that he would be attacked again in the capital."

A person is injured in an assassination. If I were to catch this assassin, I would never let him die so happily!"

"The imperial court must give an explanation to the Duke." Although Fu Hongzhi, who is also the deputy commander of the Tai'an Guard, has a calmer tone, his words have a more solemn atmosphere.

"Yes, I suspect that this assassination is related to the imperial dispute. After His Majesty ascended the throne, there was a sinister trend in the court against the Duke, saying that he was too powerful and ambitious to have evil intentions. Although Your Majesty has great trust in the Duke,

Those people may not give up. According to this general, this assassination is clearly caused by some people who are determined to die, and the court must find out clearly, so that justice can be given to the Duke!"

These words were resolute and decisive, but the person who spoke was Yu Dazhi, the commander of Pingnan Guard, which made other generals in the hall slightly startled.

Four months ago, even Yu Dazhi himself would not have believed that, before the situation was clear, he would become such a clear and decisive supporter of Pei Yue, and his attitude would even be worse than those of Pei Yue's direct confidants in the hall.

Military generals must be more determined.

After staying in Beiying for two years, I witnessed with my own eyes that this camp, which was on the verge of being dismantled, rose up against the wind and became the leader of the Beijing army in the hands of Pei Yue. This exciting change will naturally affect everyone.

As one of them, Yu Dazhi has been constantly converging with other generals in many aspects under such cumulative influence. Even he himself was not aware of this. Especially before the death of Emperor Kaiping, there was no special treatment for him.

Yu Dazhi completely recognized the reality without even transferring him out of Beiying.

In addition, in the past two years, Pei Yue had not treated him badly and Heping Nanwei, the change of direction became a matter of course.

Therefore, when Pei Yue came to the North Camp to review the soldiers a few months ago, Yu Dazhi, after receiving Pei Yue's commitment and encouragement, did not hesitate to hand over the two deputy commanders of Pingnan Guard and replace them with

He became Pei Yue's confidant when he first established the Tibetan Front Guard.

Now that he has taken the first step, Yu Dazhi naturally will not hesitate and therefore behaves more radically than Fu Hongzhi and others.

Jia Quan was not aware of these twists and turns. From his perspective, a storm was forming. Because of the assassination of Duke Wei in Duzhong, these fierce generals in Beiying were obviously unable to suppress their anger.

Just when he was hesitating whether to express his position, the experience officer Yang Yingji said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be patient. Your Majesty has great trust in the Duke, and he will definitely not let go of the assassination. The soldiers of Beiying naturally respect the Duke.

But I am also loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court, and there is no guarantee that some words will cause misunderstanding and suspicion if spread out."

Noticing that the stern-faced middle-aged man glanced at him lightly, Jia Quan's heart tightened and he quickly said: "Although I have just entered Beiying, I also know that the Duke of the country has worked hard and is loyal to the sun and the moon. If the court cannot arrest him,

How can the world be convinced that the assassin will severely punish the real culprit? Yang experienced it, if we and others jointly report to His Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Yang Yingji said: "General Jia is interested."

Jia Quan said seriously: "This is a matter of personal responsibility."

Although Zangfengwei and Wudingwei were not in Kyoto, Pei Yue's direct descendants still firmly controlled the power of Beiying, especially among the middle and lower-level generals, there were countless people who respected him. Therefore, after Jia Quan thought about it for a moment, he immediately made it clear that he

attitude.

He knew very well in his heart that if he hesitated at this moment, Pinghu Guard would definitely be thrown into the cold palace by Pei Yue.

After all, the Duke was only injured but not dead. He was still an unshakable figure in the court. It would be easy to control him by giving him a small command.

Faced with Jia Quan's unreserved statement, Tai'an Guard Commander Tang Linfen nodded slightly, turned to look at Deng Zai, the commander of Beiwei Camp who sat down and said nothing, and asked: "Does Beiwei Camp want to enter the capital?"

?”

Deng Zai shook his head and said: "The Duke has no instructions."

Today, Beiwei camp has more than a thousand people. After several rounds of selection in the past few months, more than a thousand people have been transferred from each guard to supplement them. Next, hundreds more people will be recruited to make up the actual number of three thousand.

.

Tang Linfen heard the profound meaning of Deng Zai's words, and immediately cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, there is no need to jointly submit the report, it is easy to follow the truth. We are the soldiers of the Duke of the country, and we must obey military orders in every action. Since

The Duke of Guo has no instructions, so we naturally have to stay calm."

These words slightly cooled down the gradually rising atmosphere in the hall. Yang Yingji agreed and said: "What General Tang said makes sense."

Jia Quan did not feel disappointed, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As an outsider who has never met Pei Yue, of course he would not want to get involved in this turmoil if he were not worried about being the target of public criticism. But he also knew that after he said the words "Jointly Presenting the Memorial", Pei Yue

The mark on him can no longer be erased, and from now on he can only follow in the footsteps of the young prince.

But thinking about it on the other hand, I had already made up my mind on the way back to Beijing, and I must hug Duke Wei's thigh tightly. There may be hope for further progress in the future.

It's just that Pei Yue is not present today, so his show of loyalty will eventually have to be compromised.

At this time, Tang Linfen was heard saying to him: "What General Jia said today is very touching. I will tell the Duke of the country word for word."

Jia Quan quickly thanked him, and at the same time felt indescribable feelings in his heart.

The anger of these proud and powerful generals today is naturally not fake, and the fierce public sentiment is also a fact, but there is no intention of observing and examining their own positions, but I don't know whether it was the order of the young Duke.

No... the incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible for Duke Wei to predict in advance that he would be assassinated. How could he focus on Beiying in such a short period of time? But this is enough to show his control over Beiying.

The force is so strong that even if no one is here and there is no instruction, these fierce generals will still plan everything for him.

Thinking of this, Jia Quan couldn't help but become more humble and cautious.

Tang Linfen did not continue this topic. After looking at Yang Yingji, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, since we are military commanders, we cannot get involved in the turmoil in the court. This will make the Duke unhappy. However, as it is,

Because we are generals under the command of the Duke of Guo, as long as we do our jobs well, we can give the Duke the greatest support and support."

Some of the words in these words were a little out of line, but the expressions of all the generals, including Yu Dazhi and Jia Quan, took it for granted.

What is my job?

Naturally, he will step up training of his soldiers to further strengthen his own strength.

The soldiers also knew about Pei Yue's assassination, so they did not need the general's supervision at all. Everyone consciously fought bravely on the school field, and a strong and extremely murderous atmosphere lingered in the entire camp.
