Governor's Palace, backyard
Not long after, An Miaoyi slowly woke up from her lunch break, and at this moment Qiqige also came to her side and said softly:
"Madam, Madam Ma and Madam Wang would like to see you!"
Hearing this, An Miaoyi's eyes narrowed slightly, she thought for a moment and said:
"The daughter-in-law of Ye An and Ye Changgui?"
Qiqige nodded and said:
"It's the two of them! They just came back from the old lady's place!"
A cold light flashed in An Miaoyi's eyes, and she immediately spoke:
"Just say that I am not feeling well today and it is inconvenient to see guests!"
Qiqige was a little surprised when she heard this. As Ye Mingsheng's head wife, An Miaoyi always attached great importance to uniting the clan. On weekdays, if any family in the Ye clan had any weddings or funerals, An Miaoyi would send a copy. Ye An and Ye Changgui, the husbands of the Ma family and the Wang family who came to see them today, are very important figures in the Ye family, and they are also the nephews that the old lady values !
According to Madam's usual style, when faced with the request of the Ma family and the Wang family, she should meet those who are close to them, right?
Why is it so unusual today?
Although she was a little confused, since An Miaoyi had given the order, Qiqige also nodded and said:
"I'll tell them right now!"
Picking up the tea brought by the maid, An Miaoyi tasted it carefully. Although she was in this boudoir, she was also very well-informed. In the past, for the sake of Mrs. Ye Cui, she had no idea about these Mrs. Ye. The clan takes good care of them, but things are different now. Some people have to pay the price if they cross the line... ····
To be honest, if it weren't for Ye Cui's sake, An Miaoyi wouldn't want to let Ma and Wang into the Governor's Mansion!
At this time, when they heard Qiqige's introduction outside the hospital, the two women, Ma and Wang, frowned, which was a bit unexpected. They only came to visit after hearing that An Miaoyi was still dealing with things in the house in the morning. Yes, why did An Miaoyi fall ill in just a few hours?
Although they were doubtful, the two of them naturally did not dare to act wild in front of An Miaoyi's door. They did not dare to coo in a low voice until they left.
"Sister, you said that can't be true, right?"
"Didn't you just hear the old lady say that this is not the case? The Marshal is a filial man. Even if something happens, if the old lady comes forward, nothing will happen to us!"
"That's what I mean! But why doesn't An Miaoyi see us?"
"I heard that Mrs. An Miaoyi has been injured since she gave birth to Mr. Jingren and will never be able to give birth to another child. She even needs the maids around her to do things like serve the handsome man, so she said that her health I'm sick, maybe I'm really feeling unwell! We don't need to worry about it!"
"Sister, what you said makes sense! Then let's go visit Madam Murong next! Although Madam Murong is just a concubine, the Murong family has a rich background, and her father and brother are both in high positions in our Fengwu Army. Now If the child is born, and both the commander and the old lady like her very much, Mrs. Murong might not be able to replace her with An Miaoyi in the future!"!
"Well! Then let's go visit Mrs. Murong!"
After a cup of tea, Murong Qingwu, who was eating pine nuts in the room, also received the news. A sneer appeared on the corner of Murong Qingwu's mouth and ordered to Ying'er:
"I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I'll ask the two of them to come back..."
This group of Ye Cui people have always been around Ye Cui. They used to be very close to An Miaoyi. Recently, they saw that they were very close to Ye Cui, so they gradually came and walked around. If it was normal, It doesn't hurt to meet him once.
But now even An Miaoyi can't see them, which shows how serious the situation is. To interact with them at this time is to ask for trouble!
After saying this, Murong Qingwu seemed to have thought of something and ordered to Ying'er:
"After you send those two people away, see when Pei Zhixiu returns home so that you can go check on her. She has become more and more tired these days!"
As soon as these words came out, Ying'er advised:
"Madam, you
Now that I am pregnant with Liujia, I should have a good rest. I will invite Mrs. Pei to the courtyard! "
Murong Qingwu waved his hand after hearing this and said:
"I want to find her in person! Pei Zhixiu is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Shen Yutong has always taken advantage of the weak and not the hard. Shen Yutong saw this and plotted against her. Therefore, I can show my sincerity by going in person. This mansion still needs me, Sister Pei, to take care of us!"
Ying'er wanted to say something more after hearing this, but Murong Qingwu smiled and said:
"It's only five months old, how can it be so delicate? Didn't my husband say that proper exercise is good for me?"
Hearing what Murong Qingwu said, Ying'er reluctantly nodded and walked out of the room.
A moment later, when they heard that Murong Qingwu had not seen them either, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in the eyes of Ma and Wang. They finally realized that the rumors were true and they were about to be in disaster... ················
·································
·································
Palace capital, Ryugyong
The palace capital is located in the center of Ryugyong, and the Cheongdam District on the east side of the palace is where the dignitaries of the palace live. If you want to live here, you must have money, but just having money is not enough. Must have corresponding power!
In Qingtan District, a place where every inch of land is precious, there is a house in the center that is incompatible with the surrounding mansions. On the plaque of this house, there are five characters written in Zhou script - "General Soldier of the Palace City". Mansion!
This mansion is the residence of Tong Dazhi, the chief soldier of the Fengwu Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the palace. However, at this time, the chief soldier of the palace, Tong Dazhi, was in his study, looking at the middle-aged scribe in front of him very respectfully.
"Director Wang, I really didn't expect you to come to the palace. I couldn't welcome you from a distance. It's really a sin! A sin! Please forgive me!"
Wang Xuecheng didn't care much about Tong Dazhi's apology. He waved his hand directly and asked:
"How is the current situation in Liujing City?"
After listening to Wang Xuecheng's words, Tong Dazhi quickly introduced:
"There are currently undercurrents surging in Liujing City. It was a bit chaotic at first, but it has become much calmer since the city-wide martial law was declared. Now many people know that Li Xuanmin is terminally ill, and some even know that Li Xuanmin was poisoned!"
"There are a lot of rumors in the city now. Some people say that Li Xuanmin's poison was poisoned by someone sent by Li Xuanchang, others say that it was poisoned by Japanese people, and some people slander that it was poisoned by us. In short, there are different opinions, and everything can be said... ·················”
"The person in charge of the defense of Liujing is Seiyang Lord Li Zaidong. He is Li Xuanmin's uncle and is very trusted by Li Xuanmin. However, most of the 30,000 palace troops currently guarding Liujing are General Kim Jong-yong. Many of his subordinates are even former subordinates who have followed Kim Jong Yong for more than ten years!"
"So once things change, it's hard to say whether the 30,000 Gongdu troops will listen to Li Zaitong or Kim Zhengyong!"
"However, Li Zaitong and Kim Jong-yong have a pretty good relationship. A few months ago, the wife of Li Zaitong's son Li Xuanren died in childbirth. Therefore, it is said that the two people intend to form an in-laws and let Li Xuanchang marry Kim Jong-yong's youngest daughter. I just don't know. How are the two families doing now?"
Wang Xuecheng frowned slightly when he heard this. The situation in Gongdu was more difficult and responsible than he imagined!
As the deputy director of the Coordination Office, Wang Xuecheng, under the instruction of Ye Mingsheng, has been responsible for the intelligence affairs of the Fengwu Army in the palace capital. The strategy of using Li Xuanmin and Li Xuanchang to balance and expand the influence of the Fengwu Army in the palace capital is also From his handiwork!
So now that there is a problem in the palace, he is also duty-bound and immediately rushes to put out the fire secretly!
After thinking for a while, Wang Xuecheng asked Tong Dazhi:
"How many people are there in our army in the palace?"
When Wang Xuecheng asked about this, Tong Dazhi suddenly looked troubled and said:
"Reporting to Director Wang, our army only has one battalion of 3,000 men in the palace. Among them, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ye Zhen leads two sentries of 1,300 men stationed in Wanfeng Mansion, and there is also a sentry of 700 men stationed in Luo Sichuan
Dao Granary, so there are currently only a thousand of our troops in Ryugyong City..."
Wang Xuecheng was immediately disappointed when he heard this. Although he was in charge of affairs in the palace, he was mainly responsible for intelligence matters. The general staff of the Fengwu Army was responsible for the garrison. Therefore, he also knew that the Fengwu Army had 3,000 troops stationed in the palace. They are even stationed so scattered!
Originally, in his plan, three thousand people were neither too much nor too little. If used properly, they could completely influence the development of the situation. But now there are only one thousand people, let alone influence the development of the situation. Self-protection may not even be enough!
Feeling Wang Xuecheng's disappointed expression, Tong Dazhi hesitated and said:
"Sir, there are many Dazhou merchant houses in Liujing City. Because the ground in the palace capital has been uneasy recently, these merchants all hire bodyguards. The total number of bodyguards for these large and small merchant houses is seven to eight hundred people. ! I believe that as long as we ask, these companies will lend us escorts!"
"In addition, Your Majesty, there are more than 5,000 new recruits from Gongdu who are still receiving our training. These people are all under our command!"
When Wang Xuecheng heard that there were five thousand more new recruits from the palace, he was surprised and his eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"This is how the same thing?"
Tong Dazhi organized his language and said:
"That's what Director Wang is saying. Li Xuanchang is very good at winning people over. About a year ago, Li Xuanmin found out that many generals in the Gongdu army had secretly defected to Li Xuanchang's side. For this reason, Li Xuanmin was very angry. , even after the army was purged, he was still a little worried about the generals of the Gongdu army, fearing that these people would betray him again..."
"For this reason, he handed over more than 5,000 Gongdu recruits to us for training. These recruits are currently being trained in Xinsha Village, thirty miles outside the city! These recruits have been trained for five months. According to Li Xuanmin's request, we will The new recruits will be returned to them in a month, but the command of these new recruits is still in our hands!"
After hearing this, Wang Xuecheng was calm on the surface, but he was very excited in his heart. With these five thousand people plus a thousand Fengwu troops in the city, as well as the seven or eight hundred bodyguards, and the people under his control He has more than 7,000 members of the Operation Team of the Coordination Office at his disposal, which is already considered a considerable force in the current Ryugyong!
The most urgent task now is how to transfer these people into the city!
Just when Wang Xuecheng was looking for a solution, the guard of Tong Dazhi outside the study came to report.
"Sir, Kim Zhengyong sent someone to send a greeting card, and he wants to ask to see you!"
Hearing the name Jin Zhengyong, Wang Xuecheng and Tong Dazhi in the study looked tense. The next second, Wang Xuecheng took the invitation and glanced at the content on it. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked the guard:
"Where is Kim Jong Yong now?"
Although the guard did not know Wang Xuecheng, when faced with Wang Xuecheng's inquiry, he said honestly:
"He's right outside the house!"
Wang Xuecheng directly ordered:
"Bring him here!"
The guard listened to Wang Xuecheng's order and did not immediately comply. Instead, he looked at Tong Dazhi aside. Tong Dazhi also nodded. Seeing this, the guard turned around and prepared to execute the order. When the guard left the room, Tong Dazhi Then he asked Wang Xuecheng:
"Director Wang, Kim Jong-yong, this is..."
Wang Xuecheng said calmly:
"This old guy Kim Zhengyong is worthy of being the tumbler of the imperial court. He is very well-informed! He already knows the news about my arrival!"
As soon as these words came out, Tong Dazhi's expression changed and returned to normal. After about a stick of incense, an old man with white hair and beard, but with a very good complexion walked into the study.
He glanced at Tong Dazhi in the study, and then focused on Wang Xuecheng, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar. He immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"This must be the famous Director Wang of the Fengwu Army Coordination Office, right?"
Facing Jin Zhengyong's gaze, Wang Xuecheng said calmly:
"General Jin, dear
Since I came here, I wonder what's important? "
Jin Zhengyong was not angry at Wang Xuecheng for going straight to the topic without any preparation. Instead, he said seriously to Wang Xuecheng:
"Director Wang speaks quickly, so I won't hide it anymore!"
"The king is currently terminally ill and cannot be cured, so we hope that power will evolve peacefully. As long as the Fengwu Army is willing to continue to support us, we will recognize and continue to implement all agreements between our palace and the Fengwu Army, and the Fengwu Army will also Continue to enjoy a special status in the palace..."
Chapter 746 Peaceful Evolution!
