Chapter 4087 Ambush
Hibiscus Garden, the residence of Queen Seondeok.
The stars and moon are shining brightly outside the window, the clouds have gathered and the rain has dispersed...
Nestling in the man's broad arms and stroking his strong chest with her slender hands, Kinderman hesitated for a while before her throbbing calmed down. Although she was so happy and addicted to it, she still couldn't help but said: "Lang You are still young, so you should not be obsessed with men and women, otherwise you will damage your foundation and your longevity. ”
The man around her not only makes her deeply in love, but also a supporter that she can rely on for the rest of her life. She wants to be long-lasting, but she doesn't want him to die young because of his greed for pleasure...
Fang Jun stretched out his hand to push aside her wet hair, revealing her snow-white and thin shoulders. He felt the unparalleled touch in his hands and said with a smile: "I am gifted, so I should do my best to serve Her Majesty the Queen, even if I break my bones and suck my marrow." No matter what.”
"Oh! You are such a thick-skinned person, and you are not shy at all."
Kinderman's snow-white cheeks were as red as blood from shame. She was buried in the man's arms and did not dare to see anyone. She was embarrassed and punched the man's chest several times with her pink fist.
How could she resist such wolf-like words?
Fang Jun smiled and touched her, and asked: "Has Jin Famin ever been to Beijing?"
Kinderman leaned into Fang Jun's arms and found an increasingly comfortable position. He closed his eyes slightly, letting his skin touch her skin, and said softly: "I just entered Beijing last night, and I left the two thousand hualang with me outside the city. Although there are not many in number, they are all warriors loyal to the Jin royal family, and they are powerful in combat. They may not be enough in a field battle, but they can be used to launch surprise attacks at critical moments. Lang Jun can trust them."
< br>
"Hwarang" is the royal guard of the Kim family. It was originally commanded by Jin Deman's admirer Jin Yushin. Bang Jun launched the "Jinsheng Mutiny" and completely destroyed the foundation of the six tribes of Silla. The Kim family also suffered heavy losses. No longer able to rule Silla, Jin Yuxin was also killed in battle.
Now, the "Hwarangs" who were scattered all over Silla were summoned by Jin Famin, and secretly arrived in Guanzhong via land and water through the trade route of "Eastern Datang Company" to be driven by Fang Jun and prepare for unexpected needs...
Fang Jun said: "These men are either not needed, or they are needed to face the most elite Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty. Loss is inevitable... Aren't you afraid that they will all be lost in Chang'an and the whole army will be destroyed?"
This is almost the last bit of power that Kinderman can fully control. Once he dies in battle, he will have no ability to protect himself from now on.
It is extremely difficult for a woman living in a foreign country...
Her smooth face was pressed against the man's chest, and a strong and steady heartbeat could be heard in her ears. Kinderman closed her eyes and said in a dreamy voice: "I am in jail, just like drifting with the tide. What can I do to protect myself? Both of my sisters are committed to their lives. I just hope that Mr. Lang will take pity on us being in a foreign land and have no one to rely on, and he will show his love and never let us down."
What else could Fang Jun say?
Regardless of whether these words are true or false, if a woman can do this, it is enough to gain his trust and love.
He immediately turned over and pressed Her Majesty the Queen under him. He heard the woman's exclamation and said, "Then let me serve Your Majesty well."
Kinderman's charming eyes were as silky as silk, and her hands were wrapped around her like a lotus root, and she bit her red lips lightly.
Although her bones and muscles are weak, how can the majestic Queen of Silla be defeated without a fight?
*****
Just after Mao Shi, when the central government offices outside Chengtian Gate were on duty, Yuchi Gong came with a group of soldiers on horseback and rode straight to the gate of the Ministry of War.
The guard in front of the door came forward and smiled: "It turns out to be the Duke of E. May I ask why you are here..."
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked aside by Yu Chigong and strode into the Yamen. The accompanying soldiers guarded the door.
The yamen had just come on duty, and many officials were sitting in their respective rooms before they started working. They saw a commotion in the front hall. Yu Chigong, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a helmet and armor, walked towards him with a black face and a sword on his waist, shouting noisily: "Zhang Xingcheng" Where is it? If I don’t give you some clues today, don’t you recognize the knife in my hand? "
Ouch, are you here to cause trouble in your relationship? The Ministry of War officials immediately became excited, their eyes were shining and they stretched their necks to watch the excitement.
Although Zhang Xingcheng had served as Minister of the Ministry of War for a long time, because the affairs of the Ministry were basically controlled by Cui Dunli and Guo Fushan, it was difficult for him to get involved. Regular operations such as personnel transfer and placement were not available at all, so there was no Zhang Xingcheng in the Ministry of War.
Besides, with Fang Jun competing in front of him, who would like Zhang Xingcheng who is "lucky to come in"?
At this moment, not only did no one come to his rescue, but they all waited to see the joke...
Cui Dunli stood in front of the check-in window with a teacup in his hand, and took a slow sip of tea. He couldn't help but frown slightly as he watched Yu Chigong's rampage.
Behind him, Liu Shi, who was reporting to the ministry just now, also looked out the window and wondered: "When did Zhang Shangshu provoke this person?"
If it is said that the person most responsible for being "unsparing" in the court today is Fang Jun's well-known hammer, then before Fang Jun, this reputation was shared by Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong...
He is famous for his bad temper and refuses to give in when he is stubborn. Even His Majesty Li Er sometimes suffers from severe headaches.
Cui Dunli said with a smile: "Now that all the armies know the power of firearms, they are naturally coveted for the firearms from the Foundry. However, the Foundry has been resuming work for a long time, but the firearms distributed to various armies are extremely limited. It has not been able to form an organization and cannot be put into training. Can they not be in a hurry to deploy? Of course, the current situation is turbulent, and only those who have hidden plans and unwillingness will rush to replenish their troops, while Duke Lu will remain calm and indifferent. "< br>
Who would be willing to step into this mess if they didn't want to seize power and advance further in the chaos, fearing that others would avoid it?
Yuchi Gong’s heart is clearly revealed...
Liu Shi was a little worried: "Among the firearms produced by the Foundry Bureau, seventy-eight out of ten were sent to the East Palace for six rates. What should I do if Zhang Shangshu takes advantage of this?"
Cui Dunli turned his head, looked at this subordinate expressionlessly, and said calmly: "The most important thing for a man to stand in the world is a stance. After choosing your stance, you need to be firm and unswerving, so that you can achieve a great career. . As for which unit should be equipped first after the firearms are produced, it is a matter for the Ministry of War. How can it be Yu Chigong’s turn to dictate?”
The head of the Liu family in Hedong has outstanding abilities, but his character is soft and his stance is not very firm. He needs to be beaten from time to time...
Liu Shi naturally understood the warning in Cui Dunli's words, and said with a wry smile: "I have not wavered, but although Yu Chigong cannot control our ministry affairs, Zhang Shangshu can. After all, he is the chief officer of the Ministry of War."
It's a given that people have their reputations, but if they go too far, it won't look good.
Cui Dunli snorted coldly and said: "I will have a lawsuit with him at that time, so you don't have to worry."
How could it be possible to say that he had no resentment towards Zhang Xingcheng in his heart? Fang Jun was transferred away. Regardless of his qualifications, ability, and status, he was the most suitable person to take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. However, in the end, Zhang Xingcheng, who was only a pragmatist and did not have much talent, blocked the way. Naturally, he was unhappy.
When the official position reaches this level, wanting to go further is not only a matter of ability, but also a matter of opportunity. If you are blocked, it will be difficult to make an inch of progress in at least three to five years. It is even impossible to become one of the six in this life. For those who are dedicated to official career Cui Dunli was full of resentment.
Therefore, as a descendant of Shandong, he followed Fang Jun closely and violated the orders of the Shandong family, which even caused his family to drift away from the Boling Cui family...
……
In the check-in room, Zhang Xingcheng invited Yu Chigong to sit down and said with a wry smile: "Why does the Duke of E have to come in person and cause a fuss? If you have anything to do, you can send someone to let him know, and the lower official will take care of it."
Fang Jun had military exploits, and his title was the highest among the Dukes of the country. Therefore, he sat in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. With his status, seniority and power, no one dared to be disrespectful.
But Zhang Xingcheng had no merit. He only stole the position of Minister of the Ministry of War because of his identity as a descendant of Shandong. Although he had great power, he was not strong enough after all. Facing an honorable official of Zhenguan like Yu Chigong, he was a head short and did not dare to mess with him. , even if people knock on the door noisily, they still swallow their anger.
I feel so aggrieved that even though I poured all the water into the Wei River, I still can’t get it flowing smoothly, but I still have to force myself to smile...
Yuchi Gong didn't care about his mood at all. He slapped the table with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, glared angrily, and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty has been back in Beijing for a long time, and it has been a long time since the Foundry Bureau resumed work. Why is it that my right guard has been so late?" have to Can't replenish firearms? If the Guanlong incident happens again and we fail to deploy firearms in time, resulting in the rampant thieves and His Majesty being in danger, will you, Zhang Xingcheng, bear this responsibility?"
This crime was so serious that Zhang Xingcheng was shocked and angry: "How could the Duke of E confuse right and wrong like this? I am just a minister of the Ministry of War, how can I influence the affairs of the court? If you come here today and have something to do, please let me know. , it is a matter of course, and I apologize for my inability to do so, but if you come to humiliate me, I will not accompany you.”
Clay sculptures still have three parts of fire nature, not to mention the descendants of his aristocratic family and the Minister of the Ministry of War?
Yuchi Gong had a dark face and nodded: "Okay, I'm not talking nonsense. Now that the foundry bureau has resumed work, the firearms required by the right guard must be fully equipped within three days. Since the Eastern Expedition, my subordinates have suffered a lot of injuries, and they have just been replenished. Soldiers, but cannot form new troops and prepare for war due to lack of firearms. Once Your Majesty takes the blame, I cannot bear it. The responsibility must be on you. "
Zhang Xingcheng laughed angrily, spread out his hands and said angrily: "The Duke of E is also a distinguished minister of the country and a veteran of two dynasties. Do you really think that I hold the official position of Minister of the Ministry of War and that I alone have the final say in the Ministry of War? Isn't that true? To tell you the truth, I have no idea how many firearms the Foundry Bureau produces or which army the inventory is allocated to. Even if you complain to His Majesty, I will still say this."
It’s just that I’ve been tortured by these treacherous villains from the Ministry of War all day long, and now I have to look at the faces of you generals who are in charge of the army. You can’t bully people like this, right?
Anyway, I don't want to lose face and don't care about embarrassment. If you want firearms, just go to court yourself.
I thought that this Minister of War was one of the six ministers, and was only one step away from joining the cabinet. Now I know that not only does he have no real power at all, but he is also a hard worker who takes the blame and gets scolded. If he had known this, why bother to fight for it? (End of chapter)
