Chapter 172 Fang Xiu Wants to Rebel!
Chang'an City.

Anguo Gongfu.

main hall.

An Guogong Li Shanxing sat on the grand master's chair, his vicissitudes of life expressionless, he looked around with deep eyes, and said leisurely: "What do you think about Qian Haonan, Minister of the Ministry of War, recruiting new troops?"

The voice fell.

Wu Xun present all looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while.

An Pingbo said: "The old man thought that there is nothing wrong with recruiting a new army, but some of the positions should be filled by Wu Xun's children, otherwise they would become some people's private soldiers."

aside.

The Marquis of Luonan echoed: "Uncle Anping's words are justified. My army has been commanded by Wu Xun since ancient times. Why is it that after the establishment of the new army, it will be handed over to a group of thieves? This is against the rules!"

Since the founding of the country in Dagan, the Zhechong generals in each Zhechong mansion have been served by Wu Xun's children. Only when the number is insufficient, the military officer selected by the Ministry of War will be appointed.

In the beginning, Wu Xun served as the general of a certain Zhechong Mansion until his death.

It was all suggested by the civil servants later.

The generals of Zhechong Mansion change their station every three years.

The implication is to make the soldiers not know the generals, and the generals not know the soldiers, so as to prevent Wu Xun from embracing his soldiers.

Out of various considerations, Wu Xun accepted this plan.

To this day, although the military masters' control over the army has declined significantly.

But in any case, the vast majority of Zhechong generals let Wu Xun take the post, which is acceptable.

but.

The situation is different when the Ministry of War recruits new troops.

All the generals of the new army are military officers selected by the Ministry of War, and none of them are from the Wuxun Group.

Even the chief general is served by an unknown pawn who came out of nowhere.

That Qi Jiguang is not even an earl!
To be able to serve as the chief general with [-] new troops!

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

The nobles have been dissatisfied with this for a long time, but they have not mentioned it in the court. There are three reasons.

First, the money to create the new army did not come from the treasury, but from the prime minister, Fang Xiu.

This means that it is impossible for this new army to develop a large scale. At most, it is just a small fight, which will not affect the status of the nobles.

Second, the new army is not equipped with weapons, and there are no weapons in the training subjects on weekdays. It cannot form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and it does not pose much threat to Zhe Chongfu.

Third, Wu Xun Group has no enmity with Fang Dang.

Even in the past ten years, in order to expand its influence in the court, Fang Dang often used various means to bribe several princes.

Therefore, Wu Xun did not believe that Fang Dang created a new army to weaken Wu Xun's power.

However, today is different from the past.

The original new army of only 1 people, after several months of expansion, has reached a scale of 3 people!
You know, the total number of imperial troops stationed near the capital is only 3!

and!

During this period of time, the size of the new army is still expanding!
Qian Haonan, Minister of the Ministry of War, even issued a notice half a month ago to continue to recruit new troops, the number is not limited!No identity limit!
Even the soldiers of the Forbidden Army and Zhechong Mansion can join the new army as long as they meet the conditions.

This is tantamount to clearly fighting for power from them!

Just ask who can tolerate it!

"Yesterday, the eldest son of this old man wrote to this old man, saying that in just half a month, more than two hundred people from Zhechong Mansion in Nan'an signed up to join the new army!

200 people doesn't sound like a lot, but they are all the elite of Nan'an Zhechong Mansion!
If the new army continues to rob people like this, in less than a year, there will only be a group of old, weak, sick and disabled in Zhechong mansions everywhere! "

"Not only the Zhechong Mansion, but also the Forbidden Army. A few days ago, the Marquis made statistics. Since the establishment of the new army, the number of left and right guards lost has reached more than 1000!
For this reason, Benhou also went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War yesterday to inquire about this matter. Do you know how Qian Haonan replied to Benhou? "

"What did you say?"

"He even said that the new army, like the imperial army, is fighting for the imperial court. There is no distinction between high and low. The choice of soldiers to join the new army is their own idea, and he cannot interfere!"

When Luo Nanhou, who served as General Zuo Xiaowei, said this, his face revealed a look of resentment.

After hearing this, An Pingbo also showed annoyance, and said unhappily:

"You should have asked him then! What if soldiers from the new army join the imperial army!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The Wu Xuns looked at each other subconsciously, and fell silent in unison.

They are clear.

If it were 100 years ago, the military households still had their own fields, and they might still think about it when faced with the salary of two taels of silver a month offered by the new army.

But now, most of the military households are alone, how could they resist the temptation of two taels of silver.

Even those who can't think about it will not leave the new army and join the forbidden army.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room fell into dead silence.

An Guogong on the first seat coughed twice, and said solemnly:
"Everyone here should know about the situation of the new army, so there is no need to say more."

"The key is how we should deal with it."

After a pause, seeing that no one spoke, he continued:
"The old man already discussed with Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong yesterday."

"Tomorrow's court meeting, choose one of you to impeach Qian Haonan on the grounds of raising private soldiers!"

"If there are other members of the Fang party defending Qian Haonan, the old man and the other two princes will stand up and refute."

"Seeing our attitude, Your Majesty will definitely seize this opportunity to weaken the Fang Party's power."

"At this time, even if Fang Xiu goes out in person, it may not help."

"Afterwards, you will make a suggestion later. The new army can be retained, but the generals must be held by the three princes!"

"Of course, in order to dispel His Majesty's concerns, the chief general of the new army can also be changed every three years like General Zhechong. This year, the old man will be in charge, and after three years, Duke Ding will be in charge."

The voice fell.

All the martial arts present showed signs of thought.

They don't have much opinion on this plan.

The question is, who will lead the impeachment of Qian Haonan.
You must know that although the Fang Party is only a part of the civil official group, it has great influence in the court.

After this incident, revenge will definitely be carried out on those who are in charge.

They don't want to be targeted by this group of guys who eat people and don't spit out their bones.

Time passed minute by minute.

I do not know how long it has been.

Someone suddenly stood up.

Everyone was shocked, they all looked at Luo Nanhou who stood up, and thought: finally someone is going to stand up!

Luo Nanhou looked solemnly, looked around, and said in a deep voice:
"Tomorrow will be played, and the responsibility is heavy, and those who are not calm and solemn must not do it!"

"This Marquis believes that among us, Uncle Anping is the oldest! His personality is also the calmest!"

"The matter of going up is none other than Bo Anping!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone was stunned.

He thought that the Marquis of Luonan was going to sacrifice himself to help everyone, but unexpectedly, he pushed Uncle Anping out.

At this moment.

The one who was most confused was An Pingbo.

He looked at Luo Nanhou, scolding his mother in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he also stood up, and said loudly: "The old man is getting old, his mouth can't keep up with his brain, and when he faces those civil officials who play tricks, he will definitely be at a disadvantage.

The Marquis of Luonan, in his prime of youth and eloquence, stood up and played, which was just right! "

Luo Nanhou said: "This statement is wrong. This Marquis is thirty-five this year. Compared with Anping Bo, his knowledge is superficial after all. When he comes to the court, he probably doesn't know how to speak at all.

Anping Bo, you are more suitable for the performance! "

Uncle An Ping waved his hand and said, "In my opinion, the Marquis of Luonan is more suitable."

"An Pingbo is suitable."

"The Marquis of Luonan is suitable."

The two debated for a long time.

Suddenly, a strange female voice came from not far away.

"If you two can't do it, I will play tomorrow!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The whole hall fell silent in an instant.

The Wu Xuns frowned slightly and looked towards the door.

There, standing in place in white clothes, with a folding fan in his hand, his eyes were cold.

An Pingbo looked at her, frowned, and said coldly:

"Who are you!"

Shangguan Haitang remained expressionless, and said calmly:

"It does not matter."

"The important thing is that you should not gather here."

As soon as this word comes out.

The Wu Xuns frowned even tighter, and looked at Shangguan Haitang with more vigilance.

On the first seat.

An Guogong looked at the white clothes not far away, and suddenly thought of something, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Immediately, the old faces twisted together.

"Are you from the first village?"

Shangguan Haitang looked at him, did not answer, but said to himself:

"By the order of the prime minister, during this time, please rest and recuperate well in Duke Anguo's mansion."

"The nearby Imperial Army and Zhechong Mansion don't bother you, the prime minister will send someone to take over!"

The voice fell.

The Wu Xun were shocked.

At this moment, they just realized that they were put under house arrest by Prime Minister Fang Xiu!

"Bold! Fang Xiu is just a prime minister, what right does he have to put us under house arrest!"

"I'm a great nobleman, with a title! Even Your Majesty, he wouldn't dare to take anything against me! Where did Fang Xiu come from? How dare he attack me!"

"The new army only has more than 50 people in the area, and the forbidden army and the rest of the city are no less than [-] people! If Fang Xiu does this, he won't be afraid that I will wait for the army to join the Qing Dynasty!"

"Fang Xiu did this to plot rebellion!"

Wu Xun looked extremely angry and pointed at Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang was still expressionless, as if she was too lazy to talk to them, and said calmly:

"I advise you to be honest, otherwise don't blame the sword for being ruthless!"

The voice fell.

A peacock feather flew out from her sleeve, and like lightning, it stabbed at the pillar next to An Pingbo, and nailed it deeply!
When Wu Xun saw this scene, they were all shocked, and they all fell silent in an instant.

Shangguan Haitang looked around, snorted coldly, said no more, turned and left.

Seeing this, Wu Xun wanted to say something else.

Before he opened his mouth, he saw a crowd of people outside the door.

One by one, swordsmen shrouded in black robes and holding strange scimitars stood everywhere.

There was a cold glint in his eyes.

moment.

Wu Xun all fell silent.

Looking at each other, both of them can see the trance and fear in each other's eyes.

until this moment.

They just realized.

It turns out that Fang Xiu's dog is really so courageous!
Dare to risk the disgrace of the world and put Wu Xun under house arrest!
Just don't know.

Tomorrow morning meeting.

How will His Majesty and the civil servants react when they see that there is no military honor to go to court?

but.

Since Fang Xiu dared to do this, he was probably ready for rebellion!

Not surprisingly.

Dagan is about to fall into turmoil like Zhou Guo.

When Wu Xun thought of this, his mood became extremely complicated.

Or sad, or angry, or depressed.
They all sighed.

"Hey"

"There is such a traitor! It's a great misfortune!"
