Of course, Feng Ziying would not refuse Zhang Jin's "repentance" and "application of apology".
After all, people including Sun Chengzong, Chai Ke, Cui Jingrong, and Han Xi are still under the control of the Banner Guards, and the palace ban is also still in the hands of the Banner Guards. Zhang Jin can "return when he has lost his way", which is a great thing.
However, the situation turned around so quickly, which still surprised Feng Ziying, and strengthened his belief that he must firmly hold the various garrison units in Beijing.
Without strong control over the military garrison, there is nothing.
Look at the current miserable situation of Emperor Wan Tong and his cabinet.
Or he would be pitifully confined to the lobby of Wenyuan Pavilion, restrained by a few soldiers.
Or he would be trapped in the palace, unable to step out of the palace gate, and unable to send out orders.
The surrender of the flag-bearer guards was like the beginning of a raging storm, which immediately made the situation in Beijing clear.
The palace ban was back under control, and Emperor Wan Tong huddled in the Palace of Qianqing without making a sound.
However, due to the "rebellion" of Yang Zhaoji, He Huchen and Xu Guoye in the Fifth Army Camp, Ma Chengxun had no time to spare his hands to deal with this side, and the situation had been reversed.
There is almost no room for recovery.
After a night of rapid march by Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong outside the city, the vanguard has arrived at Qinghedian and has taken control of all important buildings and passes in the area.
It can be regarded as the first line of defense set up to prevent the Xuanfu army from advancing eastward.
Sitting in sleepy city, Ma Chengxun sat down after learning that Feng Ziying had entered the city and had persuaded the flag-bearing guards to return to his control.
He doesn't know what to do now.
How many more will we continue to attack Yang Zhaoji and others?
Does it still make sense?
Regardless of the final outcome, the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp were watching eagerly from the side and would not allow this kind of civil war to continue.
He decisively stopped the attack, but what's the next step?
Just pretending to be crazy and waiting for the officials who will deprive you of your official status to arrive?
Ma Chengxun didn't want his career that had finally reached this point to end here.
Only then did he realize that it was his biggest mistake to come to Beijing and become the general of the fifth military camp.
I am simply not suitable for the intrigues and intrigues in Jingzhong. I should stay in the border town and be the leader of my own border army.
But at that time, I couldn't help myself. They wanted to make room for Liu? That's why they brought me to Beijing. I figured it out now that it was already too late.
But Ma Chengxun didn't think Liu Xi would end well.
The situation in the city has become clear. Even if the Xuanfu army is about to attack the city, they may not be able to defeat it in one fell swoop unless they cooperate with the Xuanfu army.
But Feng Ziying has entered the capital. Do you think he, the governor of Jiliao, will mobilize the Jizhen Army, Liaodong Army and Denglai Army in advance?
It's impossible even if you think about it.
Ma Chengxun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had not taken any practical actions until now, and everything was over.
As for Yang Zhaoji and his three troops, they had just had time to surround the three troops and were preparing to launch an attack when the news came here.
In this case, flag-bearer Zhang Jin can surrender to Feng Ziying calmly, so why should he be embarrassed?
After figuring this out, Ma Chengxun felt at ease.
As for Li Sancai, Zhang Jingqiu and Tang Binyin who are still waiting for him to launch an attack in his own army, then he really can only say sorry and send them to Feng Ziying together.
This series of changes actually happened not long after dawn, so fast that even Feng Ziying was a little overwhelmed.
Zhang Jin and the flag-bearer guards surrendered, and just in time to release Sun Chengzong, Chai Ke and others, everyone gathered together, and Ma Chengxun came to express his attitude again.
"Ma Chengxun still knows the current situation well and knows how to advance and retreat."
Feng Ziying spread her hands and presented the letter in her hand to Qi Yongtai at the top.
"That's fine, everyone is happy. I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person who likes to care. They all know this, and I can't say it without reputation and reputation. That's why I am like this. I have to maintain it."
Qi Yongtai ignored his disciple's pretentious words.
After taking it and looking at it, he handed it to Gu Bingqian next to him. After reading it, Gu Bingqian handed it to Guan Yingzhen, Huang Ruliang and Qiao Yingjia.
Qiao Yingjia also came over from Sanfa Division.
Because the Sanfa Division was located in Fucai Fang, it was always controlled by the Shenji Camp, so Qiao Yingjia was not trapped like the group of people in Yongfang at that time.
"Well, since Ma Chengxun has done nothing, it is indeed good that he is willing to express his attitude now. It will also prevent the people in the capital city from suffering another military disaster. If this guy really insists on having his own way, how many people will suffer disaster."
Qiao Yingjia sighed. He had the impression that Ma Chengxun had been recommended by Feng Ziying.
"I made my attitude clear in the letter. He is not suitable to be in Beijing. He is more suitable to fight for the country at the border. Ziying, you should not have brought this guy to Beijing in the first place."
Guan Yingzhen on the side shook his head, "How could this be recommended by Ziying? Ziying recommended him to Xuanfu just because of a favor, and coming to the capital was arranged by Daofu. Ma Chengxun may not be willing to come, but there is nothing he can do. He has to do it for him. Liu Yuteng's position, he must have wanted to find a backer after entering Beijing, so he was pulled over by Daofu."
Only then did Qiao Yingjia understand the secret here.
"Okay, let's not argue about this, Ziying. The Xuanfu Army is now stationed at Longhutai. Maybe they are all coming to the capital now. Can the Jizhen Army resist it?" Qi Yongtai was more concerned about this.
Although Li Sancai and the others had already been captured, if Liu Jie pretended not to know and insisted on storming into the city, but the main force of Jizhen Army had not arrived yet, could Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu withstand it?
"The Hushan and Kunshan troops are considered to be the elites of Jizhen. There is no problem in resisting for a day or two. Besides, He Renlong's troops have already arrived in Tongzhou. I also ordered him to rush forward at night and rush to Qinghe store."
Feng Ziying stood up straight, saluted, and said solemnly: "As the governor of Ji Liao, I have the authority to dispatch the two departments in Ji Town, but the one in Deng Lai Town is a temporary one, and the cabinet and the Ministry of War need to make up for it. Following the order, I was also..."
"Okay, no need to say it, we all know it." Qi Yongtai waved his hand, and after whispering with Gu Bingqian, he said: "You did violate the rules in this matter, and you will be punished according to the rules. I originally intended to grant you the title of Wuying Palace in the future. Grand Bachelor, but because you have exceeded the rules, you will only be awarded the Grand Bachelor of Dongge as punishment..."
Everyone in the audience laughed.
Among the five bachelors, the Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Hall is usually the first assistant, or the second assistant to the official. The Grand Bachelor of Jinshen Hall can also be the first assistant, or the second assistant. Among the group assistants, those with more senior qualifications can be awarded the Wenhua Palace The next is the Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and the third is the Grand Bachelor of Dongge.
I had never considered granting Feng Ziying a bachelor's degree in Wuyingdian. Even if Feng Ziying had made great contributions, with his qualifications, being able to join the cabinet would have attracted countless people's attention. To ask for a bachelor's degree in Wuyingdian, it would be too much. If you are hated by others, it would be considered a luxury to have a Dongge University scholar to accompany you to the last seat.
Of course, saying this to the outside world can be regarded as a punishment for his unauthorized transfer of Denglai Town to Gyeonggi.
The next step is to discuss the punishment of Li Sancai and others and the treatment of Emperor Wan Tong.
The handling of Li Sancai and others is very simple, to become an official.
In fact, this kind of game and wrestling between civil servants never involves the risk of human life. Just like the standard-bearer guards imprisoning Qi Yongtai and others, Li Sancai came twice and was scolded away, but there was still no action, no action. If you say that you should simply kill them all to avoid future troubles, you will lose the support of the people.
Similarly, the dispute between Gu and Li, or Qi Yongtai's push for Gu Bingqian to take over, which triggered Li Sancai's counterattack, was also a power showdown between civil servants. Since Li Sancai failed, just let him return home and retire. As long as he remains in the court Having lost their influence, this class of scholars would just become a country squire with some influence.
But dealing with Emperor Wan Tong was quite tricky.
The emperor must be replaced now, which will undoubtedly make the people of the world feel that the Zhou Dynasty has become like the late Tang Dynasty. Civil servants casually replaced an emperor who was not sick and seemed to be in his prime.
It seems impossible to say what huge mistake this emperor made.
At least the insiders know the details here.
After some discussion, there are different opinions, but there is no good solution.
Feng Ziying remained silent. During the transition between the old and new cabinets, it was best for him, the newest junior, to remain quiet. Unless he was asked a question and he had to express his position clearly, he would not participate in the answer.
Do you really think that everyone here can’t find a solution? It's just that no one is willing to make the first move.
Feng Ziying didn't want to get involved, at least not now. She found a reason to go to the Xuanfu Army to deal with the dilemma, asked for authorization, and went directly to the Ministry of War.
Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were also freed and returned to the Ministry of War. When they saw Feng Ziying's arrival, they were both happy.
"Ziying, it's all thanks to your quick return that the Dragon Guard and the others caught us off guard. I'm afraid we'll have to think carefully about it in the future."
Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were both very fond of each other. The two dignified bosses of the Ministry of War were actually trapped by a group of flag-bearer soldiers and almost lost their lives. It was really breathtaking.
"I really need to learn a lesson. I also made a mistake. I shouldn't have let Long Jinwei's people interfere with the armies in the capital. As a result, such a mess happened and I almost became a sinner in the world." Feng Ziying He also quickly apologized.
"I don't blame you. Who knew Zhang Jin would make a mistake at this time? Fortunately, this guy finally redeemed himself..." Sun Chengzong said.
"I'm afraid his merits can't atone for his sins." Feng Ziying shook her head, her face was serious, and her tone was unquestionable: "We gave him such an important force as the banner guard, but he stabbed us in the back. This kind of thing will happen in the future It must never happen again, and to ensure nothing goes wrong, we must set an example to others.”
