Chapter 129 The general is confused!
129 chapter

Lin Cunde led Xu Xianyong to the west wing and asked him to sit down. Immediately, a servant brought charcoal and added it to a small stove. The maid brought a pot of water and put it on it to start boiling. The water was actually warm, but It takes a while to boil.

"Come on, please sit down!" Lin Cunde asked Xu Xianyong to sit down and began to clean the tea set.

"I have always heard Xiaozhi say that his second brother-in-law is very powerful and knows everything. And drinking tea like this comes from you. It is indeed good. Now we generals drink tea like this when we are in the army and the governor's mansion! "Xu Xianyong saw Lin Cunde washing the tea sets and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the award. I had nothing to do, so I just thought about it. Unexpectedly, everyone liked it!" Lin Cunde also said with a modest smile.

"Well, when I come here this time, Xiaozhi must have told you that I hope you can mediate. Hey, my sister-in-law is also confused!" Xu Xianyong sighed and said, holding his hands to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde laughed, then looked at Xu Xianyong and said, "I think Governor Qianshi is too cautious! Mrs. Dingguo has really overthought this matter!"

"Oh?" Xu Xianyong looked at Lin Cunde in surprise when he heard what Lin Cunde said.

Lin Cunde didn't show off, and just explained the matter clearly, so he continued: "The Queen was only three months pregnant at that time, which was the most uncomfortable time, so she didn't leave Mrs. Dingguo for lunch, but I heard that she also Many rewards were given. Now, although Sun Zhong has fallen, this matter does not involve the Dingguo Palace. The Dingguo Palace has always been loyal to the emperor. How could your Majesty and the Queen not know about it? Otherwise, you would not know it. You’ve been serving as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, haven’t you?”

"In the battle of Tumubao, the British Duke died in battle. Many of our Ming Dynasty's nobles who were good at fighting died in the battle. There are no nobles in the court who can do anything. Otherwise, the reconstruction of the third battalion of the capital would not have been so rough. , Your Majesty is looking forward to the follow-up people to rush forward. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army is counting on you! If the nobles are always unable to be used, how do you ask Your Majesty to stabilize the border?

Moreover, as far as I know, after Duke Dingguo left, the Supreme Emperor made a final decision. When his legitimate son was born, he would take over the title. Now your nephew is only nine years old, and His Majesty will not easily change his conclusion about the Supreme Emperor. As we all know, Your Majesty still has great respect for the Supreme Emperor, and he had no choice but to inspect the Sun family. Many civil servants collectively submitted a letter to force your Majesty. Your Majesty had no choice but to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation, and did not dare to hand it over to the Jinyi Guards. The purpose was also to tell the world that Your Majesty had not He planned to target the Sun family, but he had no choice but to do so! "

"This!" Xu Xianyong was shocked when he heard what Lin Cunde said. This was different from what he heard outside!

"Is it said outside that His Majesty wants to deal with the Sun family and compete for the power of the Queen Mother?" Lin Cunde looked at Xu Xianyong with a smile and asked.

Xu Xianyong nodded and said: "There are such rumors!"

"The Sun family has done many evil things, and you must know something about it. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, there was impeachment, but the Supreme Emperor suppressed it. Now, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, the government affairs of the court have not been straightened out. How can Your Majesty easily touch the nobles? How could we do this if we were not forced to do so? Therefore, this move must have misunderstood your nobles! Your Majesty needs to rely on your nobles to rectify the army, how can you touch the Sun family at this time?
Therefore, Mrs. Dingguo went to plead for mercy, and the Queen was also happy, but there was nothing she could do!It's useless to plead for mercy, the cabinet ministers and others can't wait any longer! "Lin Cunde said with a wry smile, although these are complete nonsense, sometimes this kind of nonsense is needed to stabilize the nobles.

In fact, all nobles know what is going on. Such nonsense is actually telling those nobles that His Majesty will not take action against other nobles, so that they can rest assured, and it is also a tacit thing.

"Oh, that's right. Civil servants have always wanted to suppress us martial artists!" Xu Xianyong nodded with deep understanding at this moment. As for whether he thought so, it is unknown.

Lin Cunde nodded with a smile and said: "It's good for your Excellency to know. The Supreme Emperor has made a final decision on your nephew's attempt to seize the title. When he is a child, he will naturally seize the title. Now, as an uncle, you need to keep an eye on his studies." The key is martial arts. After all, Duke Dingguo needs to lead the army in battle. If he doesn’t have martial arts and has no strategy in his mind, it won’t work!”

"That's for sure! Lin Du can rest assured about this!" Xu Xianyong felt much more relieved when he heard what Lin Cunde said.

"So, don't go around looking for people. This will make the Queen and Your Majesty unhappy. It's clear that there is nothing wrong. If you do this, it will make Your Majesty and the Queen appear to be petty. This is not acceptable!" Lin Cunde smiled and knocked Xu Xianyong. .

Xu Xianyong's expression immediately changed, he stood up quickly, raised his hands toward the Forbidden City and said: "This, this, this, this is really the general's confusion, the general is so confused, it's not because of the magnanimity of His Majesty and the Queen, but because of the villain's heart." Save the gentleman’s belly!”

Then he sat down, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said, "It's a good thing I'm here today, otherwise, I would really miss something big!"

"That's okay, it's just a fan of the authorities!" Lin Cunde smiled, and then heard the water boiling, so he picked up the kettle and started rinsing the teacups and other things to prepare tea.

At this time, the concierge came in, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said, "Young Master, Yu Shangshu is here to visit!"

"Ah!" Lin Cunde heard this and stood up in surprise. He had not expected this. Why did Yu Qian come alone? He would come here with Zhu Ji before.

And Xu Xianyong was also very surprised. Yu Qian came to visit?Yu Qian actually came here?And come to visit a young man who is worried at home?

Lin Cunde stood up, cupped his hands towards Xu Xianyong and said, "Excuse me for now, please don't blame me, I'll go greet Yu Shangshu!"

"You can do whatever you want, it's okay!" Xu Xianyong said quickly.

Lin Cunde went out quickly. As soon as he left the wing door, he saw Yu Qian had walked around the screen wall and was walking towards the front yard.Lin Cunde hurried to greet him. Yu Qian saw Lin Cunde and smiled and said, "You don't have to come out to greet me, I will come in by myself!"

Xu Xianyong, who was sitting inside, heard Yu Qian's words very clearly, so he looked at Wang Zhi and asked in a low voice: "Your second brother-in-law is also familiar with Yu Qian?"

"I don't know either, it's the first time I've encountered it!" Wang Zhi shook his head and said, he really didn't know either.

Lin Cunde, who was outside, quickly arrived in front of Yu Qian and saluted Yu Qian: "I've met Yu Shaobao!"

"But I have something to do. I heard that there are guests at home. You greet the guests first, and I will take a look around your mansion first. Spring has begun. Your mansion is now full of flowers and greenery. I appreciate it." Yu Qian said with a smile. Lin Cunde said.

"Yes, the rear army commander Qian Shi is here, come and play with Xiaozhi!" Lin Cunde said quickly.

"Oh, we are also members of the army, so we can sit together!" Yu Qian heard this and said quickly. This time he came here, but the rectification was blocked and it was difficult to advance. The generals below were looking for people to intercede everywhere. Yu Qian was extremely annoyed.

At this moment, Yu Qian wanted to communicate with those martial artists, hoping to get more support from them. Originally, Yu Qian planned to come to Lin Cunde to ask for advice, and then go to visit Wang Ying. As the left commander of the Chinese Army Commandery, Wang Ying would With Wang Ying's full support, it will be very helpful to promote rectification below.

As for the civil servants, Yu Qian is also preparing to communicate with the cabinet ministers and the censors of Zuodu to ask those civil servants not to come over to intercede. Now that the matter has not progressed, the intercession has begun. Do you still want to sit down for the rectification?

"Convenient?" Lin Cunde looked at Yu Qian and asked tentatively.

"What's the inconvenience? I'm here to play too!" Yu Qian said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Invite you this way!" Lin Cunde made an invitation gesture and took Yu Qian to the west wing.

When Xu Xianzhong saw Lin Cunde coming in with Yu Qian, he stood up, raised his hands to Yu Qian and said, "I've seen Yu Shangshu!"

Although Xu Xianzhong is also a second-rank official, he is also under the control of the Ministry of War.

"Well, I've seen Xu Qianshi!" Yu Qian returned the favor.

"Come, sit down, we just want to chat together. It's rare for the official residence to be so lively!" Lin Cunde also smiled and sat at the main seat and started to make tea.

"How come Yu Shangshu has time to sit here?" Xu Xianzhong also asked casually and was curious at the same time.

Yu Qian is so smart. He is worried that he can't talk to Xu Xianzhong, and now he is on Lin Cunde's side. If Lin Cunde helps to say a few words, the situation may be different, so he sighed and said helplessly: "I'm here. Xu Qianshi, who asked about this plan, probably also knew that I was now reorganizing the capitals and guard posts under the Central Military Governor's Mansion. I only inspected the guard posts led by the Henan Dusi. However, both civil servants and military generals came to intercede and let me We can’t push forward!”

When Xu Xianzhong heard this, he also frowned and reorganized the guard house. Wang Ying talked to him about this matter. Now, in the Dingguo Duke's residence, the person who can do the most important thing is himself, while the person who can do the most important thing in the British Duke's residence is Zhang Xi and Wang Yingdu. Talk to people like yourself.

I also support it. The guard posts below are indeed a bit shameful. Logically speaking, each soldier has fifty acres of land and needs to pay for food. However, many hundreds or thousands of households have now taken all of that land. Taken into their own hands, the soldiers became tenants. '

The key is that although many guard posts have full enrollment of soldiers, they have not been trained for a long time and are just farming. In some places, even the entire Qianhu Post has no soldiers left. When superiors come to inspect, they just hire people to act as soldiers, and so on. After checking for a while, Qianhu Station was still empty!
The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army was aware of the following situation. At first, they did not want Yu Qian to rectify it, but Wang Ying reminded them that they needed strong men to cut off their wrists, so it was better to leave it to civilian officials to handle it. Anyway, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army still controlled the training and garrisoning of the troops.

"That's a bit outrageous!" Xu Xianyong nodded and said in agreement.

"Hey, so I still have to ask for your support!" Yu Qian heard what Xu Xianyong said and quickly said with his hands.

"We are very supportive. Is there anyone on the general's side asking for mercy?" Xu Xianyong frowned, looked at Yu Qian and asked.

Yu Qian responded with a wry smile.
