Chapter 134
Chapter 134 The Little Man
After listening to Tang Feng's statement, Yuan Chonghuan's face also darkened. After a while, he said: "I didn't expect that Wang Huazhen is so unbearable. Guangning's defeat that day not only did not make him feel ashamed and brave, but also became so timid, greedy for life and death and was afraid of death. It seems that Liaodong would not be a blessing under his leadership."
Tang Feng nodded deeply and said, "Brother Elementary, you are right. He is indeed not able to serve as the Liaodong governor. If the soldiers know what he does, I am afraid that no one will believe him. My purpose of telling Brother Element is to hope that you can help me and drive him out of Liaodong."
After a while of silence, Yuan Chonghuan said, "I'm afraid this matter is not easy. In order to prevent the military power from falling into the hands of ambitious people, the court often sends civil servants to control military generals. This is how Wang Huazhen is. The court will not recall him because of these trivial matters, and if you and I ask for yours, it's not going to be able to do it." Seeing that Tang Feng's face was a little ugly, he sighed and said, "Now you and Wang Huazhen have broken their faces, I'm afraid he will turn the tables on you. You must be careful about this. This person is not so broad-minded."
Tang Feng said angrily: "This person wants to snatch it when he has made a contribution, but when he needs to set an example, he disappeared. Such a personality really makes me feel dissatisfied. I know he is a villain. Although it was my impulsive move to turn against him this time, I will not regret it. Although it may not shake his status when he submits the court, if we don't report it, I'm afraid he will do this earlier than us. This will be very unfavorable to us." As he spoke, Tang Feng pulled Yuan Chonghuan to his side, which was actually the decision made by Tang Feng after consideration.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't care about this, and he had the same impulse as Tang Feng in his heart, otherwise he would not have made many big mistakes in history. So after Tang Feng's words, he said: "For the sake of Liaodong, I will definitely not refuse what you can do if you can help!"
Tang Feng was waiting for his words. Now the influence of Liaodong itself is not enough. Only by using Yuan Chonghuan's name can we pull all these generals to his side, so that we will not be afraid of Wang Huazhen. But just as Tang Feng wanted to speak out what he thought, there was a noise outside, and then a thick voice overwhelmed everyone's voice: "I want to see Tang... Lord, tell him if you have something important, why are you always stopping me from entering?"
When Tang Feng heard this unique voice calling him, he knew that Sima Junyi was coming. He glanced at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Brother Elementary, this person is one of my confidants. Please let them let him in." After Yuan Chonghuan said something, Sima Junyi walked in angrily. He didn't respect him when he saw Tang Feng and the other two, but said, "Sir Tang... Lord, why did someone change outside your door? I'm going to come in and see you so much..."
Seeing that he was still complaining, Tang Feng felt funny, but he didn't want to embarrass him in front of Yuan Chonghuan, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about this later. What's the matter so late and come to see me?"
Sima Junyi was simple-minded. After hearing Tang Feng's question, he threw the resentment in his heart aside and smiled and said, "If you don't ask, I forgot. Look, this is something I found from a spy. I can't read, but seeing that this man is sneaky and doesn't look like a good person, I keep him." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and handed a notebook to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng saw at a glance that this thing was a memorial from the ministers who submitted the court, and his heart was tight. Although Sima Junyi was a little confused, he guessed what it meant after seeing this thing. Yuan Chonghuan was also a little surprised when he saw it, but he still seemed very steady in front of others, and he didn't immediately ask Tang Feng.
After reading the things written in this memorial under the light, Tang Feng's face was unstable. After he handed the memorial to Yuan Chonghuan, he looked at Sima Junyi and said, "Ayi, how did you get this thing? Let's talk about it carefully."
Sima Junyi only said that he had made great contributions, so he laughed and told him how he caught the person. It turned out that after the Jin soldiers retreated, Tang Feng was busy meeting Yuan Chonghuan and others, so he forgot to ask Sima Junyi to rest. He was a honest person. Since he didn't have to go up to the city to guard, he started his previous tasks and patrolled the city. Not long ago, when he was patrolling not far from the south gate, he found a person who was eager to go out, so he stopped him. The man was one of Wang Huazhen's servants, and he had seen this man. He wanted to use Wang Huazhen's sign to suppress him. He didn't expect Sima Junyi would not take this trick at all. Seeing that this person was sneaky, he knocked him down and kept him. Then he found this memorial from his arms, thinking that it was a spy to report the message, and ran over happily.
Tang Feng thought to himself that he was lucky. If it weren't for this fool, he would be afraid that the memorial that would have been entrusted to him would have been handed over to the capital. Although there was no problem with his identity and relationship with the eunuch party, he would have had a headache in this way. Just when Tang Feng was uneasy, Yuan Chonghuan also finished reading the memorial. He sighed and said, "This Wang Huazhen is indeed a villain. As soon as the battle ended, he thought of taking the initiative to deal with you and Wang Kai. He also took all the credits on himself. I really underestimated him."
Holding this memorial in his hand, Tang Feng's thoughts changed rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it. Although he stopped this memorial this time, if this person knew about it, he would add such a piece to his crime, and then the matter would be a big deal. Now things are irreversible. What should he do?
Yuan Chonghuan was also planning for Tang Feng in his heart, but he couldn't think of a perfect way. As their superior, Wang Huazhen, of course, spoke more than them. If he was an official in the court, he would probably believe him even more. Unless the generals from Liaodong jointly submitted the memorial together, would this make the court begin to suspect that the soldiers in Liaodong had already formed their own system? This would even affect Sun Chengzong who was already in Beijing, so Yuan Chonghuan had no idea for a moment and could only stare at the memorial.
"Now I have intercepted his memorial. Although Ayi did this out of an accident, it was very unfavorable for me. If I sued him before Wang Huazhen, I am afraid that he would be robbed of it in the face of confrontation. What should I do?" Tang Feng thought repeatedly in his heart, but he was as clueless as Yuan Chonghuan.
Sima Junyi looked at the two people in front of him with a serious look on their faces after looking at the thing, and even thought that their judgment was correct, so he laughed again, which made Tang Feng and the others come back from their thoughts. The two looked at each other and found that the other was looking at him helplessly. Tang Feng smiled at Sima Junyi and said, "You are doing a good job, just look at that person first, don't let people know. This person is not a minor matter." Sima Junyi quickly agreed and left.
After he left, Tang Feng said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Although I can't think of a countermeasure for the time being, at least the initiative is in my hands now. Before Wang Huazhen knew that his false accusation had fallen into my hands, I was still safe."
Yuan Chonghuan pondered for so long, and finally came up with a negative solution: "Yizhi, I have a risky way to try, that is, to keep this memorial, and you do not send any memorials to the court to discuss with him, Wang Huazhen, and you think that it is not the same as before. In this way, Wang Huazhen will only act when the court detained his memorial this time, keep it and not post it, and will not express his opinion. He is also a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time. Seeing the court doing this, he will inevitably have some concern in his heart, just as the court wants to protect you, so in order not to offend others, he will not make any moves. In this way, he will not make things difficult for you. What do you think this plan?" After all, he is a few years older than Tang Feng, so he has more mastered the struggle and balance in the court.
Tang Feng thought about it carefully and found that he could not think of a better way to cover up all of this now, so he said helplessly: "Although this is a cheaper one, there is no way to do it."
Yuan Chonghuan reminded: "This method poses certain risks no matter how you say it. Concealing the memorials of border officials and not reporting them is a crime of deceiving the emperor. If you fail, you can..."
Tang Feng said: "But it has become a fact now. The sender has been kept by us. How can we look back? But I think there is a lot to do with Wang Huazhen's timidity."
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Yes, and you must handle this person who sends the letter properly. He must be afraid of his inability to complete Wang Huazhen's orders. You might as well use this point to convince him to speak for you so that he would not have any doubts."
Tang Feng nodded and said, "I understand. I will handle this matter myself. Thank you Brother Yuan for your advice. No matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, I will not implicate you."
"I don't want to listen to what you said. You and I are already sympathetic to my brothers. Since I have learned about this, I will not stand back!" Yuan Chonghuan's answer was decisive, which moved Tang Feng very much.
At night, Tang Feng couldn't sleep in bed. Although he was so busy and tired that he didn't have much rest time to defend the city these days, although the Jin people retreated, he was still full of things. He was thinking about how to deal with this matter. Such compromise was not his style of doing things, which made him feel very uncomfortable. If possible, he still wanted to attack instead of defending.
