Chapter 1396: Noble
The courtiers of the entire Yan Kingdom strictly ordered the people in their families and subordinates to be careful during this time.
Especially the people in the family who had some relationship with the Black Dragon Gang, they all let them sneak out of Yanjing first and go out to hide for a while.
Now the Jinyi Guards and the Forbidden Army are all crazy about arresting people, as long as they are caught, they are related to the rebellion of the Black Dragon Gang, which is a dead end.
。
Of course, the scope of this matter is not large, at least for those real bigwigs, the Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army dare not pick this matter on their heads.
Even if it's picked, it can't be buckled.
It's just that some of the low-level officials below are cautious.
Of course, Lin Fan didn't continue to care about these things, Ye Liangchen was already planted this time.
The people in the officialdom of Yan State were all waiting for the result of the negotiations between Emperor Yan and Zhenxi at this time.
Many people with a keen sense of smell have noticed that Zhen Xihou may have to find a way to solve this matter.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a big news to come out of the palace.
Zhenxi waited for his old age and declining health, and took the initiative to apply to return to Yanjing to recuperate, and then elected the fourth prince, Xiao Yuanjing, who is also the current prince of Zhen, to lead the entire Western Army.
In an instant, all the ministers were stunned.
At the beginning, the crown prince and the prince of Zhen were evenly matched, and Emperor Yan was in good health at the beginning, so he had no plans to support anyone.
Now that he is older, not long ago, Emperor Yan handed over the Jinyi Guard to the people under the prince, obviously to give the prince a certain amount of real power and support the prince.
At this time, many Wenchen were also happy in their hearts, which showed that Emperor Yan still wanted the crown prince to succeed to the throne.
But now, Xiao Yuanjing has served as the commander of the Western Army.
At the beginning, although Xiao Yuanjing had nowhere to influence his prestige in the army, he only had 30,000 elite soldiers under his command after all, but now, Emperor Yan let him master an army of 500,000!
The entire Yan Kingdom, combined, is probably only two million troops, and now a quarter of the military power is in the hands of Prince Zhen.
If Emperor Yan is not good at that time, Prince Zhen will mutiny, with his prestige in the army, I am afraid that if he raises the flag and waves, there will be many people who will follow Prince Zhen.
The ministers of the entire court couldn't guess Emperor Yan's mind at this time.
Does His Majesty Emperor Yan want the crown prince to succeed to the throne, or the prince of Zhen?
A group of people couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts, Your Majesty Yanhuang, you are so good at hinting at it, we can also hug our thighs in advance.
After the generals learned the news, they were naturally overjoyed, of course, among the generals, a quarter of them had a very complicated attitude.
Zhenxi Hou is in the army, and basically a quarter of the people are his old subordinates and his descendants.
Emperor Yan sent Prince Zhen to the Western Army, which is a bit embarrassing.
Do you really want to give up or not to give up?
……
"Bastard! Bastard! The prince held a thin sword in his hand, waving it wildly, venting wildly.
When he learned the news that Prince Zhen was going to lead the Western Army, he was dumbfounded.
If you get a brocade guard, there will be less than 10,000 people, and when you turn around, your fourth brother will have an army of 500,000.
"Tengyuan, what are you doing to eat! You Jinyi Wei grabbed a person, and the biggest benefit was that the prince of the town got his hands. The prince pointed to Tengyuan next to him.
Tengyuan stood aside tremblingly, he looked at the crazy prince, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter, all blame Kong Minglong and that Lin Fan." ”
"Kong Minglong? Lin Fan? The prince narrowed his eyes: "Kong Minglong, I've heard of it, what is this Lin Fan." ”
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, this Lin Fan is the original initiator of this matter, he ......"
Tengyuan told the cause of the incident, and finally said: "This Lin Fan has some background in the West Factory, and I don't want to move him." ”
"West Factory." The prince snorted coldly: "Isn't the West Factory all the minions of our royal family." ”
The prince just wanted Tengyuan to clean up that Lin Fan, but he couldn't help it, he took a deep breath, knowing that Wei in Xichang was his father's absolute cronies.
Although he is the prince, it is not easy to offend.
The prince said, "Go and check the background of this Lin Fan in detail." ”
When Tengyuan heard this, he narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "It's the prince." ”
He knew that the prince's anger always had to be sent to someone.
This Lin Fan is now going to become the prince's punching bag, and he is unlucky.
Tengyuan said respectfully: "Prince, don't be too angry, this matter may not be a bad thing." ”
"Huh?" The prince narrowed his eyes.
Tengyuan said: "It's true that this Western Army is indeed a 500,000 army, but Weichen said something ugly, this 500,000 army is almost equivalent to the private army of Zhenxihou." ”
"This 500,000 army, is it so easy to take?" Teng Yuan said with a smile: "The people in their army, aren't they very supportive of Prince Zhen?" Why don't you go and visit Zhenxihou and chat with him more? When the time comes, maybe you can pull a quarter of the strength of the Zhenxi Hou family and the army into the hands of the prince. ”
"So, it's a great event."
When the prince heard Tengyuan say this, his eyes lit up.
That's right!
Why didn't I understand this before?
He suddenly looked at Tengyuan a lot more pleasantly, and he laughed out loud on his face: "That's right, I'll visit the prince of Zhen immediately!" ”
"Yes."
Tengyuan asked respectfully: "Then this Lin Fan is still there?" ”
The prince said coldly: "Check, let's see if this guy has any other background, just because this guy has made Prince Zhen get such a big benefit, hum." ”
"Yes."
……
Lin Fan has been quite comfortable these days, and after coming out of the Jinyi Wei Yamen every day, he goes shopping and listens to some anecdotes in Yanjing.
Then go home to read, rest, and practice.
It's a rare peace.
On this day, Lin Fan was in the Jinyi Guard Yamen, looked at the time, it was almost time, and he also walked out, wanting to go home.
At this time, Kong Minglong stepped forward and stopped Lin Fan, he laughed and said, "Lin Qianhu, slow down." ”
"Lord Zhenfu, is there something wrong?" Lin Fan asked.
In the past few days, Kong Minglong's face is almost full of laughter, and the enemy family has also destroyed a lot, and he can still make great contributions.
This case has probably been characterized, and it is a vicious foreign undercover invasion.
Soon will be asked.
Ye Liangchen is no exception.
"There is a noble person who has returned to Yanjing and set up a banquet, you can go with me." Kong Minglong said.
Lin Fan paused for a moment and said, "Which nobleman?" I wasn't invited to ......."
"Prince Zhen, Xiao Yuanjing." Kong Minglong lowered his voice and said: "This prince of the town is amazing, he is talented and martial, admirable, this time I will return to Beijing, I am afraid that he will go to the Western Army garrison and take over the entire Western Army." ”
Lin Fan also heard the news, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I'm not going, right?" ”
