Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 255 Guiding Gu Tingye

At this time, in front of the main hall of Yanfu Palace.

Everyone looked at Zhang Guifen who was kneeling down.

I couldn't help but admire this general and tiger girl in my heart.

It takes a certain amount of courage to dare to say those words in front of Empress Cao for the sake of one's own officials.

Manager Zhu looked at Zhang Maoze as if he were looking at a dead person.

If the other party insists that he is the one who wants to harm him, there may be some chance for him to stand up, but if things go wrong, Queen Cao will be there to prevent his death.

But it was absolutely wrong to not involve Wei Yuan directly.

Even if it is his layout and planning, can this kind of thing be said?

Once it is said, can the noble generals in the DPRK let Zhang Maoze live?
There was a pause.

The voice just fell.

"."

"However, Lord Wei is patrolling the border under the emperor's order after all. If this minister is not dealt with strictly, it will inevitably make the hero feel cold."

Why do they want to help Wei Yuan's family?
The reason is very simple. Even a fool knows that no matter how powerful Zhang Mao is, it is impossible for him to affect Wei Yuan's status in the slightest.

Hearing this, Zhang Guifen did not stand up, but continued to kowtow and said:

Not many people know why she stood up to speak for Zhang Guifen.

"Mother, Lord Wei is the pillar of the country. There is no reason to harm this important minister who is suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

"Girl from the Zhang family, get up."

Zhou Dynasty can be without a chamberlain, but it cannot be without Lord Wei.

After an "investigation" by the Imperial City Department, this person was indeed suspected of collaborating with the enemy. According to the laws of the country, he would be executed after the fall.

Zhang Guifen deeply agrees.

Queen Cao first ordered the maid next to her to slap Zhang Maoze hard, then looked at Zhang Guifen and said:

Wu Qiong said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

If Zhang Mao didn't tell Wei Yuan's name, he would have been saved.

Manager Zhu naturally would not miss this great opportunity. Without saying a word, he directly asked the guards to take Zhang Maoze down.

With so many people speaking, even Empress Cao would not be able to openly show favoritism.

Since this matter involves the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, in line with the principle of honoring one and losing one among nobles, it is naturally reasonable to help one or two.

However, even her Qingliu family members stood up and spoke. The noble family members quickly reached a united front and spoke unanimously to the outside world. They stood up one after another and said:

As soon as the Queen left, Mrs. Zhang and others would not stay here, so they left one after another.

Two days after the palace banquet, Zhang Maoze's matter came to an end.

Before Mrs. Zhang and the other nobles said anything, she saw Wang Anshi's wife Wu Qiong suddenly stood up and bowed:
"My Lady, no matter what the reason is, as a chamberlain, you should not talk openly about the ministers in the front palace. Let's not talk about why Lord Wei wants to harm this father-in-law. What's the benefit of harming him?"

"Marquis Wei is the general of our dynasty and the pillar of our country. I will never allow anyone to speak rudely to him!"

Wei Yuan is the prince's junior master, the future assistant minister she and Zhao Zhen personally decided. The relationship between Wei Yuan and Zhang Maoze is not a multiple-choice question, because he is not worthy.

Wu Qiong smiled and said, "Mrs. Hou's words are serious."

When Wu Qiong left, Zhang Guifen stopped her specifically to express her gratitude.

After she left, Mrs. Zhang came to Zhang Guifen's side and said earnestly:

After all, Empress Cao and the official family have been through storms together for decades, so it is impossible that they can't even protect themselves.

"My dear, if any servant can frame and frame an important minister of the country, I'm afraid no one will dare to serve the country to the best of his ability."

Zhang Mao, who had calmed down, was already breaking out in a cold sweat and was completely despairing.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Girl, remember, no one will help us for no reason."

"I would like to thank Mrs. Wu for speaking up today."

Zhang Mao, on the other hand, committed suicide in the Imperial City Prison because he was ashamed of his officials and the queen.

"This father-in-law is a chamberlain, but he framed the minister of the front palace. The empress just slapped her and blamed him. Guifen. Guifen feels aggrieved!"

Didn't she have her own purpose in contacting Wu Qiong?

Zhang Guifen said: "If we have the opportunity, let's go to taste tea and enjoy the flowers together."

Empress Cao slowly closed her eyes, waved her hands, and said, "That's it, hand him over to the Imperial City Department for strict interrogation."

"Just now I heard someone say that not long ago, the chamberlain went to the Office of the Minister of Civil Affairs and seemed to have a dispute with Wang Shangshu."

But now that Wei Yuan was involved, there was nothing she could do.

Zhang Guifen asked curiously: "The implication of my mother's words is that by helping me, Wu Qiong is also helping herself?"

"As we all know, Lord Wei has outstanding military exploits, and both Liao and Xia are wary of him. If the enemy country has any plans with this father-in-law to harm Lord Wei, it can be explained clearly."

After such a scene, Empress Cao lost interest, so she asked the female family members to go back to the palace to rest.

Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.

Because Zhang Maoze collaborated with the enemy, Yanda had already written a letter and submitted it to Zhao Zhen.

The latter just glanced briefly, nodded, and said nothing more.

Yanda believed that Wei Yuan's layout was flawless after being checked and filled by the Imperial City Division.

As for the ministers in the DPRK, such as the two prime ministers Han Zhang and Wen Yanbo, they did not express their views on this matter.

In their opinion, it was just a chamberlain who died.

Scholar-officials like them have always hated powerful eunuchs.

Especially Zhang Maoze dared to frame Wei Yuan, the front minister.

When Yanda left the palace, he was sent off by a close aide of Manager Zhu.

The confidant said: "General Manager Zhu said that he would like to ask you to convey the General Manager's gratitude to Marquis Wei."

Yanda nodded slightly, "When you get back, tell me that three cobblers are equal to Zhuge Liang."

Who is 'The Stooges'? it goes without saying.

Who is Zhuge Liang? Anyway, it’s not that Zhang Maoze.

But the game against this person was a tacit understanding between the three of them, and it has extraordinary significance.

The cooperation between the three people was achieved silently.

Perhaps, no one is that Zhuge Liang, but whoever blocks the way of the three of them is that 'Zhuge Liang'.
-
At the end of October, the sixth year of Jiayou's reign.

Wei Yuan has been wandering around Changcheng Ridge for several days, and has probably explained the defense situation in this area clearly.

At the same time, news about Zhang Maoze also reached him.

Wei Yuan told Xiao Yuming, "Just in case, on the way to handing over Zhang Xun to the Imperial City Department, he was told to flee openly and beheaded on the spot."

Once Zhang Xun arrives in the capital alive, if someone takes this opportunity to target Wei Yuan, I'm afraid things will become troublesome.

Let him die on the road, this matter can be considered to have an end. "The arrangements have been made, Commander Wei, please rest assured."

"Through the investigation by the secret agents of the Imperial City Department, we learned that both Li Ningling and Li Liangzuo have been placed in solitary confinement and removed from all positions."

After hearing the news, Wei Yuan had no obvious expression fluctuation and said calmly:

"Li Yuanhao did this just to temporarily stabilize the domestic situation and prevent the tragedy of the two sons from fighting."

"I heard that Li Yuanhao has a physical problem? Is this the case?"

Xiao Yuming said: "Most of them are rumors. The people from the Imperial City Department have investigated it. Now that it has been so long, no one can say accurately what the body and bones of Lord Xia are like."

Wei Yuan nodded, "As soon as Li Yuanhao dies, there will be a war between Li Ningling and Li Liangzuo."

"That guy Ye Li Yuqi has no ambition to rule the roost. For him, staying in a corner is enough."

"The key to the success of Li Ningling and Li Liangzuo in the future is to meet the beggars when they are wild and powerful."

Xiao Yuming said: "When I talk about wild profits and encounters with beggars, the general reminds me of something. This person is now in contact with Tubo Zanpu. Do you think there are any precautions to be taken?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "I just want to find a way out for myself, so don't worry about him."

"The leaders of Tubo did not dare to offend me, Dazhou, because of Xixia. They just wanted to deal with each other as much as possible."

After a pause, Wei Yuan handed Peng Sun the defense map of Changcheng Ridge that he had drawn in the past few days and said:
"When this is over, I will return to the capital. I originally wanted to take you back, but after much thought, it is better for you to stay here and consolidate the border defense."

Peng Sun took the defense map and kept it carefully. Then he bowed deeply and said:

"Please rest assured, Commander Wei, whatever you say will be done by the general."

Wei Yuan was deeply satisfied.

With Peng Sun and Gu Tingye in Yanbian, and with the help of the Zhong Family Army, if chaos breaks out in the world in the future, these will become his capital.

But he hopes even more for a future without such chaos.

"General Peng, I think highly of you and will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities in the future."

"I hope that you can make great achievements in Yanbian. In the near future, I will find ways to transfer you to the capital."

"After I return to Beijing, I will ask the officials to hand over the defense matters in the Helan Mountain area to you."

Although Wei Yuan did not explicitly say that he wanted to promote Peng Sun, he did put an extra burden on him.

As long as he builds defense fortifications in the Helan Mountain area according to his ideas, he will naturally achieve great results.

"Thank you so much, General Wei, for your cultivation!"

Peng Sun believes that if people want to develop, they need to meet their noble people.

And his nobleman is Wei Yuan.

Another day later, when Wei Yuan was about to leave Changcheng Ridge and head to the last stop of the trip, Shilijing, Gu Tingye, who was far away in Weizhou, had already arrived.

Wei Yuan personally summoned him in the tent.

"You chose to come after General Zhong and Duke Kang left one after another, and you did not mobilize troops. You are very smart."

Everyone knows that Gu Tingye belongs to Wei Yuan, so when he comes to ask to see Wei Yuan, it is best to keep a low profile.

Gu Tingye clasped his fists and said, "Bizhi has long wanted to see Commander Wei, but he has never received Commander Wei's opinion, so I don't dare to act rashly."

"When I heard that the Commander-in-Chief had left the security and other villages, I dared to come here to see Commander-in-Chief."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan waved his hand and said, "Our two families don't need to be so open-minded."

"I chose you to join the army instead of taking the scientific examination, and your ten years of hard work have been wasted. Can you blame me?"

Gu Tingye hurriedly said: "Shuai Wei is so kind and kind to me. I will never forget my life. How can I have any grudge against Marshal Wei?"

After all, Ningyuan Hou Mansion made its fortune through military exploits.

As a result, Gu Tingye had to take part in the imperial examination, which was obviously a sign of neglect.

Wei Yuan once analyzed that the father-son relationship between Gu Tingye and Gu Yankai was not harmonious, and Gu Tingye did not want to use his father's name to get involved in the army.

But the Gu family cannot lose the help of the military. Someone in the Gu family must take root in the military.

Otherwise, the so-called Hou Mansion is nothing more than rootless duckweed in the final analysis.

Therefore, Gu Tingye only now understands the significance of Wei Yuan asking him to join the army. How can he not be grateful in his heart?

"The training envoy of the Yizhou Regiment, although his official rank is not high, can at least be directly involved in military affairs. In time, it is not impossible for you to surpass your father."

Speaking of this, Wei Yuan deliberately drove everyone else out of the tent, leaving Gu Tingye alone, and said to him in a serious and thoughtful manner:
"Joining the army has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. When a military general holds power and holds a high position, he will be tabooed by others."

"The current situation is far from peaceful. I have my deepest intentions in keeping you in Yanbian."

"If you want to work for the country, you must also work for yourself, do you understand?"

Gu Tingye said: "Commander Wei, please rest assured."

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "There are only you and me here, there is no need to call us Commander-in-Chief."

After working hard in the army for a while and participating in several small battles, Gu Tingye became more stable.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the male protagonist in 'Knowledge', no matter what environment he is in, he can always adapt quickly.

At this time, Gu Tingye also smiled and called "Brother Wei." '

Wei Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Do a good job and don't embarrass your father."

"Don't think that if you join the army, you will live in your father's shadow your whole life."

"There are talents from generation to generation. From now on, it will be our generation that stirs up the troubles in the world."

Gu Tingye followed Wei Yuan to Shilijing.

He had not read the military training methods written by Wei Yuan before, and had learned some things from them.

But it was only after he actually joined the army and trained soldiers that he truly understood the significance of the military training methods written by Wei Yuan.

Therefore, he finally got the opportunity to study with Wei Yuan, and he didn't want to miss it.

At this moment, in the Shilijing area, Wei Yuan has clearly outlined the defenses here.

Gu Tingye looked at it and couldn't help but feel confused and said:

"Commander Wei, there is something unclear about your humble position. Your defense deployment in the Helan Mountain and Changcheng Ridge areas was flawless. Why did you just make some simple arrangements when you arrived at Shilijing?"

"Even just arranging five hundred soldiers here? If Xixia invades from Longzhou, wouldn't the Shilijing area be easily taken over by Xixia?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "If you can realize this, you can see that you have made progress by following Yang Huairen in a few battles."

"Shilijing is different from Helan Mountain and Changcheng Ridge, which have mountains as natural barriers. This place is endless plains, and within a radius of ten miles, the terrain extends in all directions."

"Like a 'well' shape, no matter how many troops are stationed here, it will not help. After all, the Xixia cavalry cannot be underestimated. They are best at fighting on such plains."

"Therefore, I only use this area as a buffer zone and leave 500 people behind. I also want to create an illusion for the Xixia Army. If a war breaks out in the future, they will think that there are not many troops stationed in Shilijing and attack here first."

Hearing this, Gu Tingye suddenly realized,

"What Commander Wei means is that once Xixia invades, they will definitely attack Shilijing and station five hundred troops here. This is not to defend against the Xia army, but to monitor."

"As long as there is any disturbance in Shilijing, the garrison in Helan Mountain and Changcheng Ridge will know it instantly and respond in time?"
