Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 123 Sun Boring

Chapter 123 Sun Boring
After Yu Qian was settled, Zhu Qiyu turned his attention back to Chen Mao.

Mr. Chen Houye is old and knows many people. Among the honored and military generals in Beijing, no one knows who can take on the big responsibility better than him.

Chen Mao did not hesitate and said.

"Your Majesty, I think that Sun Tong, the governor of the Chinese army, is brave and good at fighting. He has made many military exploits and is worthy of his duties."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes sank, but he didn't speak.

This person he remembers...

The restoration of Nangong has his share.

Sun Tong's father was Tongzhi, the commander of Jiyang Guard. In the 20th year of Yongle, Sun Tong attacked his post and was recommended by Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, to lead troops to Chuzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Although this person is brave and good at fighting, his personality is domineering and paranoid, and he is the only one who respects himself.

In his previous life, he made great contributions in the defense of Beijing, and was later recommended by Shi Heng. He was sent to Xuanfu and Datong to guard two important towns.

When he was in the Xuanfu, he disagreed with Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief, and was impeached by Yang Hong for favoritism and fraud.

Later, he was transferred to Datong, and refused to obey Guo Deng's discipline. The two clashed repeatedly.

In the end, he was recalled to Beijing and worked in the Beijing camp.

After that, he followed Shi Heng to participate in the restoration of Nangong.

Sighing, Zhu Qiyu felt a little headache.

The lineage of Xun Qi was really intertwined, and after pushing down a Shi Heng, Chen Mao pushed him up again.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu turned to Yu Qian and asked.

"Yu Qing, I remember that you mentioned before that Fan Guangjing, the commander of Liaodong, was good at riding and shooting, brave and resourceful, is there such a thing?"

Yu Qian was a little surprised. Chen Mao, who the emperor asked first, obviously wanted to get out of the five-army governor's mansion.

In fact, during this period of time, Yu Qian often discussed the layout of the city defense with the emperor.

Already faintly felt it.

In many cases, the emperor would favor his relatives intentionally or unintentionally.

He is not surprised by this.

During these days, Xunqi has been weak and suppressed by civil servants. This is not a normal phenomenon.

For the emperor, the balance of civil and military affairs is a good thing, so within a certain range, the emperor will protect his relatives, as long as it does not harm the overall situation, Yu Qian will treat it as if nothing happened.

He thought it would be the same this time. Although the Xun Qi had suffered heavy losses in this civil engineering battle, many generals who led the army could still be found.

After all, in addition to those high-ranking relatives such as Gonghou Bo, there are many mid- and low-ranking relatives in the five-army governor's mansion that can be used.

For example, Sun Tong mentioned by Chen Mao just now is one of them.

But looking at the meaning of the emperor now, is he dissatisfied with the candidate Sun Tong?

Yu Qian was puzzled for a while. In his impression, besides being domineering, Sun Tong was also capable enough, and it seemed that he had never had any interaction with the emperor...

Although there were doubts in his heart, but the prelude was right, and Yu Qian couldn't allow Yu Qian to think too much, so he pondered for a while, and then said.

"Returning to the emperor, it is true. Fan Guang assisted Cao Yi, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. He has guarded Liaodong for many years. He has repelled the invasion of Wuliangha and other troops many times. He has repeatedly made military exploits. Fan Guang arrived in the capital yesterday, and is now waiting to be called at the Ministry of War."

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

Fan Guang, who guards outside the city all the year round, seldom enters Beijing.

Although he was born as a relative, but because he has been guarding Liaodong, he has little connection with the relatives in the capital.

In his previous life, he was also recommended by Yu Qian and called into Beijing.

Compared with Sun Tong, this person is not inferior to his bravery, but his personality is more stable, which is why Zhu Qiyu is very impressed with him.

So Zhu Qiyu said
"Since this is the case, I will call both Sun Tong and Fan Guang into the palace tomorrow. I will decide on the candidates after I take the school exam."

Even though he said so, the attitude of the emperor was seen by all the ministers just now. The so-called school examination is probably just a formality, just to give Ning Yanghou a face.

Yu Qian bowed his hand and said yes, and Chen Mao's brows relaxed slightly, but at the same time, he also had the same doubts as Yu Qian.

Since entering the palace, although the Son of Heaven seems to be in a bowl of water, he is actually more inclined to his side.

This can be seen just by looking at the soft nails that Yu Qian touched.

Why did the emperor's attitude change so suddenly?
Old Hou Ye twirled his beard, wondering what he said was inappropriate.

But Zhu Qiyu obviously didn't mean to reveal it, and waved his hand, signaling that this is the end of the day.

So all the ministers had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they resigned and left.

…………

The night was dark, and it enveloped the entire capital without knowing it.

After all the ministers had left, Zhu Qiyu slowly came to the frontier defense map spread out in the hall.

Carefully deduce the strategy in his heart again and again, but no matter how he deduces, every battle must take risks.

I just hope that I made the right decision this time...

On the other side, after leaving the palace gate, Marquis of Ningyang Chen Mao did not go back directly to the mansion, but came to the mansion of Marquis Li Xian of Fengcheng.

"Marquis Chen is here, I'm here to welcome you, please come in quickly!"

Li Xian had already been waiting outside the door, and led Chen Mao into the flower hall, where several people were already waiting.

They are Cheng'an Hou Guo Sheng, Xin Cheng Bo Zhao Rong, Prince Consort Shi Jing, and Zhen Yuan Hou Gu Xingzu who hasn't appeared in the closed-door mansion for a long time.

Seeing Chen Mao coming in, everyone stood up and saluted, and welcomed Chen Mao to the main seat.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Rong asked, "Marquis Chen, how is the situation?"

Before the ministers discussed the matter, Chen Mao, Yu Qian and others were left alone, and they knew that it must be related to the border, and in all likelihood, it was related to the purge of the border guards.

This matter is closely related to Xun Qi, so they all went to Fengcheng Hou's mansion together, in order to get the latest news as soon as possible.

Chen Mao didn't tell the truth, and briefly described what happened in the palace, but some secrets were involved, such as the detailed situation in Datong City, but they were not mentioned.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Rong frowned and said: "So, what does the emperor mean, or do you want to fight?"

This fight, of course, does not mean sticking to the capital, but taking the initiative to attack.

Chen Mao nodded and said, "That's right. Although Yu Qian insisted, the emperor said that he would not move the Beijing camp, but he made it clear that he would send generals to fight, but for some reason, the emperor's attitude suddenly changed... "

It should be said that the emperor's willingness to take the initiative to send troops is a good thing for the honorable relatives. This shows that the emperor is not the emperor who blindly guards like Emperor Renzong.

For Xun Qi, as long as the emperor is willing to be diligent in side affairs, even if he does not fight, he will inevitably strengthen his reliance on Xun Qi.

In this way, although the Xun Qi is weak now, as long as he has the support of the emperor, it is not too difficult to restore his vitality.

However, regarding Chen Mao's doubts, Li Xian also frowned and said.

"To tell the truth, Chen Hou, when the emperor was still the king of Tan, he expressed his reliance on his relatives. That day, the old man took a risk and proposed to establish a new king, and he was sure of this point."

"These days, the emperor has indeed defended me and other relatives in many court affairs, so Chen Hou said that the sudden change in the emperor's attitude may have something to do with Sun Tong?"

After a short pause, Li Xian shook his head again and said.

"However, I have never heard of it before. Sun Tong once offended the emperor. He has been in the five-army governor's mansion for a long time, and he should have had no intersection with the emperor..."

At this time, Shi Jing who was on the side suddenly spoke.

"I suddenly remembered one thing, maybe it has something to do with it."
