Chapter 395: Do your best (1)

The memorial to impeach Yuan Chonghuan for credit and sue the blame, and the soldiers under his command were handed over to the Tongzhengsi Department like snowflakes. Although Eunuch Wei has not made any statement yet, he only saw that he allowed the officials below to constantly attack those who have made contributions. A discerning person could see through his thoughts at a glance. Therefore, the brave one pointed out that Yuan Chonghuan was not suitable to lead troops to defend Liaodong at all. He should be dismissed from his current position and taken back to the capital to question him.

Seeing that the direction of the court changed drastically due to his own hint, Wei Zhongxian began to think about taking Yuan Chonghuan while being proud. Although Wei Zhongxian liked to monopolize the power, the most taboo thing was those who threatened him, he still did not dare to deal with it too casually in frontier wars. After thinking for two days, Jiu Qiansui decided to listen to the meaning of those whom he believed in and see if he could replace Yuan Chonghuan, and Tang Feng was of course invited.

In the past two days, Tang Feng's pleasure that had been suppressed by the White Lotus Sect was no longer alive. This was of course the result of the various words of the officials in the court who kept attacking Yuan Chonghuan. A person who had made great contributions to the country and killed the enemy who was in a panic and fled in a panic in a flash was said to be a sinner who was useless and would not be saved. This was something Tang Feng could not accept. What made him even more uncomfortable was that although he was willing to say a few words for Yuan Chonghuan, he could not even be able to submit a memorial because of his identity. For the first time, Tang Feng shook his current status in his heart.

In June, Beijing City has entered the midsummer season. The cicadas in the garden kept making noise, which made Tang Feng, who had wanted to lie quietly under the tree for a while, was even more irritable. He turned over several times on the bamboo couch, then stood up and wanted to go back to the room. At this time, he had recovered from his injuries and slowly walked over. He also held a large plate in his hand, with seasonal fruits and vegetables for the relief of the heat. When he saw Tang Feng's irritable expression, he understood him very well and guessed the reason, and went forward and said, "Young Master, you can't rest because of the endless cicadas?"

Tang Feng nodded with a wry smile and said, "I ordered people to stick a lot of cicadas with sticking rods yesterday, but who knew that there were so many more here in one day. It seems that this little bug is really tenacious. I can't afford to offend him, so I can only hide aside." This cicada made Tang Feng think of the censors who are constantly criticizing Yuan Chonghuan in the capital. They are even more upset than the cicadas here.

"Young Master, don't be upset. I have my own means to tell them not to call them all!" After answering this sentence to Tang Feng, he placed the tray on the short table next to the bamboo couch, and then picked up a cup of tea that had been cooled for a long time. He didn't see how he acted. Just as he raised his hand, the full cup of cold tea turned into a water curtain and shot straight into the tree.

In a light "chi" sound, countless cicadas fell to the ground like raindrops, and after struggling for a few times, they stopped moving. The garden, which was still very noisy, became quiet in an instant. Tang Feng couldn't help but look carefully at the puzzlement, as if it was the first time he had seen him. After a while, he said: "Why don't I remember that you have such deep internal strength, and you can turn water droplets into hidden weapons when you raise your hand and kill the cicadas all over the trees."

While resolving the doubts, he added tea to Tang Feng again and said, "If it weren't for the internal injury last time, I wouldn't have made such great progress. It turns out that with my cultivation, it would be difficult for me to make any progress in my internal strength. However, after being injured by the White Lotus Master, my internal breath was able to speed up and finally make a breakthrough, so I have to thank him for hurting me."

"Oh, it seems that you are still blessed in disguise." Tang Feng sighed in surprise, then lay back on the couch. He answered the doubts and said, "This is the unpredictable thing in the world. Young Master, I once heard you read a saying in a book called "Damage is the basis of good fortune, so no matter what trouble you are in now, as long as you can overcome it, everything will be fine."

"Wow, you can say such words. Why isn't this like you before? Could it be that after you were injured, even your knowledge has improved?" Tang Feng said teasingly, his mood improved significantly.

Hearing Tang Feng's smile, an old voice came over: "If you feel better, can you listen to me?" But Tian Jing came. Tang Feng understood immediately, took a look at Shufu and said, "I guess this was what Mr. Tian taught you to tell me like this?" Shufu and smiled. Seeing that the young master was in a much better mood, he was also happy.

Tian Jing walked slowly to Tang Feng and was about to salute, but was stopped by Tang Feng who had already stood up: "How many times have you said it? Mr. Tian doesn't have to be so polite, come and sit down!" As he said that, he pulled him to sit on the bamboo couch together, and then Tang Feng asked, "I wonder what Mr. Tian wants to teach me?"

"I have also heard of things in the court. What annoyed adults think is that Yuan Chonghuan was criticized?" Tian Jing went straight to the point after sitting down.

"Yes, Brother Element is dedicated to defending Liaodong for the court, but I am really worthy of this attack from these people. But this is not really unhappy for me. What I am worried about is that if Brother Element is really transferred from Liaodong, no one can deal with the Jin people who have been eyeing me in the Ming Dynasty." Tang Feng said this and spoke in a sharp tone: "Apart from being able to flatter, these officials in the court are the best at framing me who are capable of framing me. They used a small matter to transfer the teacher out of Liaodong. Now they want to attack the only brother Element who can defend Liaodong. It is really a disaster to the country and the people." The teacher he refers to was Sun Chengzong, who has returned to his hometown. He will not cover up anything in front of these two people.

"I think this incident is different from the previous incident of Sun Da. That time, Wei Yi was determined to remove Lord Sun in case of threats, so no matter who persuaded him, it was difficult to change his decision, but this time it was different. Whether it was his status in the court, the emperor's trust in it, or the prestige in the army, Yuan Chonghuan could not compare with Lord Sun, so Wei Yi might not necessarily transfer him from Liaodong this time. Lord Don't be too desperate."

"What does this mean?" Tang Feng asked hurriedly, and he also saw something vaguely, but he needed a thorough reminder.

"What Wei Yin was afraid of was that Yuan Chonghuan would take advantage of the situation and become the second Lord Sun after making great contributions, so he wanted to kill it in the bud. However, Liaodong always needs people to defend it. Even if there is only one Yuan Chonghuan, even if someone else is replaced, there is no guarantee that he will not threaten Wei Yin. As long as the Lord tells Wei Yin about this and let Yuan Chonghuan show some loyalty, I think this matter is hopeless." Tian Jing analyzed.

Tang Feng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Tian, ​​you are right. Liaodong is an important gateway to my Ming Dynasty. It must be a heavy defense. This is a hidden danger for Wei Yan. No matter who sits in this position, Wei Yan will be wary of him. If this person can respect him on the surface, Wei Yan will be slightly less vigilant about him."

"Of course, it's not enough." Tian Jing continued: "In addition to this, the adults must also let Wei Yi's party understand that the position of Liaodong's strategy is not competent by just finding someone. It is his own ability to defeat the enemy by Yuan Chonghuan. If someone changes people and damages Liaodong, it will only harm the Ming Dynasty. In this way, I think that this problem may be solved."

"Old Tian's seat is really enlightened! I'm trying to see Wei Zhongxian and point these two points to him, hoping to help Yuan Chonghuan retain his current position." Tang Feng said with a happy face and bowed to Tian Jing again.

"Sir, please wait. You can help with this latter point, but you said this first point but it is useless." Tian Jing said with a wry smile: "In my foolish opinion, I should write a letter to persuade Mr. Yuan."

It was Tang Feng's turn to smile bitterly: "Why is he willing to listen to my advice now? Since the teacher's case, he has regarded me as an enemy and regarded me as a person who sells friends and seeks honor. Now I ask him to compromise with the eunuch party, but I am afraid that it will backfire."

"That's how..." Tian Jing also frowned. In his thoughts, this first point is more important than the second point. If he did not win the trust of Wei Yan, the more capable this person would make Wei Zhongxian wary him.

Just when Tang Feng was completely helpless and was even more embarrassed, someone from Wei Zhongxian's mansion sent him a message to ask him to come and discuss important matters. Tang Feng knew at that time that this time must be related to Yuan Chonghuan, so he made up his mind to speak for Yuan Chonghuan as much as he could, hoping that Wei Zhongxian could change his decision.

Over the past few days, with the eunuch party's hands in the court, Wei Zhongxian has rarely gathered these close friends to discuss matters. Without political enemies, he only needs to inform those who do not accept him, and those who do not accept him will be demoted and taken away, and there is no need to discuss with others. This time, for the sake of Yuan Chonghuan, a thief gathered together again, which shows that Wei Zhongxian attaches importance to this matter.

After greeting and greetings, Wei Zhongxian raised Yuan Chonghuan's affairs and wanted to hear the opinions of these officials in the court. These people thought they had seen the feelings of Eunuch Wei, so they said without hesitation: "Yuan Chonghuan is incompetent and immoral, and he really cannot take on this important task of border defense. We think he should be removed from office and investigated!"

When everyone was talking about it and even Eunuch Wei was about to make this decision, someone sang a opposite tune: "I don't think Yuan Chonghuan is an incompetent and virtuous person. This time the Jin people invaded Liaodong because of him, they could retreat to the enemy!" It was Tang Feng who couldn't help but speak.
