Chapter 363 See Yuan Chonghuan again (1)

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "Yizhi, don't worry, I won't be too serious for this. Your Majesty still trusts me very much. Even if he lets him know, he will deny me, and at most I will be exempted from my official position."

"But sir..." Tang Feng didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, but suddenly he thought of something and said, "But sir, have you ever thought about it? In this way, Brother Element will be implicated. Now Liaodong relies entirely on him. If the eunuch party has an excuse to attack him, I am afraid... If Liaodong has no place to take charge, what should the soldiers there do? Who should guard the border of my Ming Dynasty? Please think twice!" He knew that Sun Chengzong might ignore his own safety and gains and losses in order to help him, but if things are connected with the safety of others, even the borders of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely change it.

But Sun Chengzong said: "This husband has his own plans, and Yuan Yuan's side has his own ways to save him. Even if those eunuchs are incompetent, they should know that if there is no element in the situation, Liaodong will be in chaos even if there is no attack from the Jin people, so I think he will not be in trouble." Sun Chengzong said and looked at Tang Feng: "This time, my intention has been decided, you don't have to persuade him anymore!"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong showed a firm face at his rare moment, Tang Feng knew that he was really determined and had to salute the old general respectfully: "Since that's the case, I have to take the order!"

Sun Chengzong touched his beard with more white and less black and said, "Yizhi, I can only help you now. Everything in the future depends on you. My Ming Dynasty has reached the most important juncture. You should not let my sacrifice turn into vain!" Tang Feng did not speak anymore, but nodded solemnly. No matter what he said, he could not express his inner feelings. He just made a secret decision in his heart that he must not let Sun Chengzong down. He must drive those treacherous and slanderous people out of the court as soon as possible, no matter what method he used!

After receiving the support of Sun Chengzong, Tang Feng monitored him the next day. Hundreds of secret spies were sent to the Ministry of War by Tang Feng. Sun Chengzong's residence was close to the places where he would appear in his daily life, and all his actions were taken into his own hands.

Seeing Lord Tang suddenly attacking this person who was second only to Eunuch Wei in front of the emperor, some people with real power in the Jinyiwei who had kept a certain distance from him also began to curry favor with him. From his actions, we can see that this matter was instructed by Eunuch Wei, which shows that Eunuch Wei’s trust in Tang Feng. In this situation where both Tian and Xu had no real power, these middle and lower-level Jinyiwei military officers also needed a leader to make decisions for themselves. Obviously, Tang Feng is the best choice now.

So slowly, Tang Feng wanted to use the intention of hitting Huang Conghu and others to get the Jinyiwei Daquan to achieve the effect on this thing he did not want to do. When he saw all this, Tang Feng always felt a little sad, but at the same time he was doing his best to clean up the original forces of Xu and Tian, ​​and preparing for his future use of the Jinyiwei's staff as a team to fight with the eunuch party.

Although Sun Chengzong's every move is reported every day, there is no way to attack him. This is the only thing that can make Tang Feng feel relieved in this period. But things always change. In early March, when the weather in Beijing began to warm up, Yuan Chonghuan finally came to the capital.

The reason why Yuan Chonghuan came to Beijing to report his duties at this time was suddenly mentioned by eunuch party officials. Their statement was naturally high-sounding, saying that he knew that Yuan was determined to guard the border areas for the court, and worked hard and made great contributions, so he deserved some reward. At the same time, in order to commend his contributions over the years, he would also give him a mansion in the capital and take his wife and children in Guangdong to Beijing. Because everything was issued in the name of an imperial edict, Yuan Chonghuan could not even refuse, and had to arrive in Beijing after arranging everything in Liaodong.

However, as bystanders, Tang Feng was deeply concerned about this. They were trying to win over this general who could replace Sun Chengzong and firmly control the military power of Liaodong in their hands, so that they would no longer have anything to worry about in the whole world. Despite this, Tang Feng was still happy for Yuan Chonghuan who had been neglected by the court to receive the rewards he deserved. So after learning that Yuan Chonghuan was about to enter the capital, Tang Feng decided to go to the road to greet him.

On the second day of March, Yuan Chonghuan finally entered the capital under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers. In order not to make him feel embarrassed, Tang Feng just wore a cloth robes and went to meet him with a puzzled confusion. But when he arrived in front of Anding Gate and wanted to welcome his friend, he was surprised to find that the place was already full of people.

Among the nine gates of Beijing, the Anding Gate was specially set up for the soldiers who returned from victory. Today, the court asked Yuan Chonghuan to enter the capital from now on, and treated him as a general who had made great contributions and returned from victory. From this point of view, the eunuchs's intention to deliberately make friends with Yuan Chonghuan was reflected. In addition to letting him enter from now on, the court also exaggerated and spread Yuan Chonghuan's achievements. In this way, the people in the capital naturally came to see this great hero when they learned that Lord Yuan had entered the capital.

It was finally easy for Tang Feng to stand firm in the surging crowd, which was also due to the amazing skill of solving doubts around him. After a while, bursts of gongs and shouts came from afar. After quiet and avoiding the signs, a team of majestic men walked into Andingmen in neat steps. Each of them was wearing new armor and holding swords and guns that were shining in the sun. At a glance, you could tell that they were a heroic army of battles.

However, Tang Feng, who was familiar with the Liaodong military, saw at a glance that they were not the elite Liaodong soldiers he knew. The elite Liaodong soldiers were powerful in the murderous aura they all over their bodies, rather than the neat steps and dazzling weapons. These things did not have much effect on the battlefield. So just a glance, Tang Feng could be sure that these soldiers were the soldiers selected by eunuch party officials from the Beijing camp for their sake.

Although he was very dissatisfied with this approach, Tang Feng did not get into this issue much because he saw the person he came here to see. Today, Yuan Chonghuan looked particularly energetic, and his face, which was darkened by the sun, was also red. However, he was not wearing armor like other soldiers, but was just wearing regular scholar uniforms, which made him look even more unique and outspoken. The long sword slung across his waist, which also reflected his side as a Confucian general, and he was indeed a figure with both civil and military power.

The people were obviously promoted by the government. When they saw Yuan Chonghuan appear, they bowed to the ground to show their respect for the hero who had been guarding the border for many years. Looking at this scene, Tang Feng knew that it was impossible for him to come forward to meet Yuan Chonghuan, so he smiled and left the crowd with the answer. Tang Feng did not notice that Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting on the horse, recognized him because of his difference. However, because Yuan Chonghuan was surrounded by people at this time, he could only send Tang Feng away with his eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After leaving the crowd, Tang Feng's confused mind was awakened because of the noise. Then he disappeared because Yuan Chonghuan was able to win the joy of being supported by the people. Instead, he frowned deeply. None of this escaped the eyes of solving the problem. Seeing him like this, he asked, "What's wrong with you, young master? Could it be that he was unhappy because of thinking about Lord Sun?" Tang Feng would not hide anything about solving the problem, so he knew what Tang Feng would do next, so there was such a problem.

Tang Feng sighed and said, "This is just one aspect. What makes me even more worried is the treatment he received when he came to the city today. This is probably not a good thing."

"What does young master mean? Lord Yuan has also made great contributions. This time he was able to receive rewards from the court and support from the people is a recognition of him over the years. Why do you say that this is not a good thing?" asked in confusion.

"Because I saw that there was a conspiracy in it!" Tang Feng said: "And it was a few conspiracies that were linked together! One of the purposes of the eunuch party doing this was to sell the generals who held military power and tell them that they would still treat these generals well. In this way, they would definitely win over some people's hearts. Brother Element is just their cover. Secondly, their actions would inevitably lead to a difference between Brother Element and other generals in Liaodong. He is also a person who likes to control everything. If this continues, conflicts will arise between him and those generals, and this is exactly what the eunuch party wants to see, because once this is the case, Yuan Chonghuan may have to rely on them, which will be very unfavorable to the unity of the frontier of our Ming Dynasty.

"But both of these are still trivial matters. The most vicious thing is that they want to use the excuses of Yuan Chonghuan and to weaken Lord Sun's achievements and pave the way for him to deal with him later. In this way, Brother Element has become a pawn for those eunuchsmen without realizing it. What a good way!" Tang Feng sighed after saying that, but now he can only watch all this, and there is no way to change it at all. This is the most unbearable thing for him.

For this reason, Tang Feng lost the mood to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen and went straight home, preparing to wait for Yuan Chonghuan to meet the sage. After meeting the adults in the court, he went to meet him and told him what he was worried about.

But before Tang Feng could do this, in the evening, a servant came to report: "Sir, someone outside wants to see you, saying that it is your friend in Liaodong, called Element!"
