Chapter seven hundred and twentieth: a wave of unrest
"According to what Li Shilang said, Bodu looks a lot thinner. I think he has not been living a good life during this period. This is consistent with the news from the front."
"In the battle of Shawo, Oala's morale was greatly damaged, the morale of the army was shaken, and the various tribes were already in chaos. Bodu and others were mediating and suppressing them everywhere, almost without stopping. It should be said that they now have too much time to take care of themselves."
"But the more this is the case, the more they should maintain a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. However, Nabo is outside the city gate, facing Yang Hou, but he is provocative at every turn."
"If that's all, that's it. But Nabodu seems to be arrogant, but in fact he is strong on the outside and hard on the inside. Otherwise, he would not kill his own people to enter the city."
"Such contradictions are really confusing. Governor Fan has been at the border for a long time. Does he have his own opinion on this matter?"
In the study room of Yu Mansion, under the flickering candlelight, Fan Guang frowned slightly as he listened to Yu Qian's narration.
Of course he knew what happened outside the city gate, but he was not at the scene at the time, so he didn't know many details.
However, now that I hear it, I feel a little puzzled.
After pondering for a moment, he asked.
"Yu Shaobao, Fan has been in the capital camp these days and does not know much about the affairs in the capital. I wonder if this envoy has other actions after entering the city besides its crazy behavior outside the city?"
Yu Qian shook his head and said.
"Nothing. After entering the city, they were arranged by Honglu Temple to stay at the inn. They have been living peacefully. They went out twice in the middle, but they just bought some daily necessities, nothing special."
"During this period, I submitted documents requesting to see His Majesty twice, but perhaps their behavior outside the city gate made His Majesty dissatisfied, so they were turned back."
Hearing this, Fan Guang frowned even more. After a moment, he glanced at Yu Qian, hesitated, and asked.
"Yu Shaobao, Fan Guang is a warrior. He is really not good at this kind of guessing. I'm afraid I will disappoint Shaobao. However, with all due respect, is Yu Shaobao worried about the impact that the mission will have on him?"
Go to the imperial court to organize the military affairs?"
Yu Qian was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
He was indeed worried about this, otherwise, a mere Wala mission would not be worth his concern.
Then, Fan Guang's brows relaxed slightly and he said.
"If that's the case, then Yu Shaobao can relax."
"Oh, why did you say that?"
Yu Qian raised his eyebrows, leaned forward slightly, and asked.
Fan Guangdao said: "What Shaobao is worried about is that the envoys are here and are looking for provocations. They are afraid that they intend to anger our Ming Dynasty and reignite the war, causing the great policy of rectifying the military camps to stagnate."
"However, even though Bodu is so arrogant outside the city gate now, Fan still insists on his previous view. At this moment, Wala does not dare and will not start a war with the Ming Dynasty again."
Hearing Fan Guang's confident words, Yu Qian's face became a little brighter, but Yu Shiyue on the side asked.
"If that's the case, then why are they deliberately provoking a provocation if they are all outside the city gate?"
Fan Guang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.
"Lord Cifu, it is not Director Fan's specialty to figure out people's hearts. Maybe that guy has other purposes. After all, since he hid his identity and entered the Ming Dynasty among the envoys, he must have had some unavoidable reasons."
"However, Fan is a military commander, so he knows very well that on the battlefield, it is always the strength of both parties that determines victory or defeat. All wise and cunning strategies must be based on sufficient strength."
"No matter what kind of plan Bo Du came here this time, in the end, as long as Wala's strength does not recover for a day, it will be impossible to take the initiative to start a war with the Ming Dynasty."
"No matter how much Bodu provokes outside the city, it is impossible to change this. As for why he did this, we need to continue to test it with the bosses in the court. Fan's duty is to train the Beijing army well.
Once something happens in the imperial court, we guarantee that the Beijing army can solve it as soon as possible."
I have to say that Fan Guang's character is such a straightforward one.
After hearing these words, some people may feel that they are a bit hasty, but in Yu Qian's ears, they feel reassured.
He nodded slightly, looked at Fan Guang approvingly, and said.
"With Governor Fan's words, Yu can rest assured."
However, looking at this scene, Yu Shiyue on the side seemed to have something to say, but after looking at Yu Qian, he didn't say anything.
The atmosphere in the study became slightly more relaxed, everyone added new tea, Yu Qian said again.
"In recent days, I heard that King Zhennan often visits Fan Dudu's house. Now that King Zhennan and his son are living in the capital, they are temporarily in charge of the family affairs on behalf of Prince Min. They don't have to go far to the feudal territory. This marriage between your two families is not a problem.
It’s quite harmonious.”
This marriage was originally granted by the emperor, and Yu Qian protected the matchmaker, so it was considered normal to talk about it.
However, what people didn't expect was that when this was mentioned, Fan Guang not only did not look happy, but instead sighed heavily and said.
"Harmony is harmony, but I'm afraid it won't last long..."
"Oh? Why is this?"
Looking at the confused looks of the two people opposite him, Fan Guang thought for a while and then explained.
"The marriage between my daughter and the prince was guaranteed by Yu Shaobao, so Fan had nothing to say. During these days, King Zhennan has indeed brought his daughter and the prince to Jing'an Bo Mansion from time to time.
However, it is exactly this that makes Fan feel more and more worried."
"To be honest with Shaobao, in the past few days, although King Zhennan has not said it clearly, he has revealed a bit in his words. I am afraid that my daughter and the prince will not be able to stay in the capital for long..."
After hearing this, Yu Qian and Yu Shiyue looked at each other, their expressions suddenly became solemn. After hesitating for a moment, Yu Shiyue asked tentatively.
"Dudu Fan, let's put it this way, Prince Min..."
Fan Guang nodded with a heavy expression.
You must know that King Zhennan came to Beijing this time to arrange Zhu Yinqi's marriage, so logically, after the marriage was over and there was nothing special to do, King Zhennan should go back.
After all, King Min is now the Grand Zongzheng in the capital, and the affairs of the entire Min region are basically managed by King Zhennan, the crown prince of King Min.
However, the emperor has not issued an edict for King Zhennan to return to Mindi, and King Zhennan has not shown any signs of going back.
This can only mean that King Zhennan is in the capital and has other things to do.
As for what it is, it has already been revealed.
Old Min King's health has been failing since a year ago. Although there is no definite news, the emperor has sent an imperial doctor to the Min King's Mansion for the third time during this period. There are rumors outside that Old Min
The king's time is numbered.
Now, the King of Zhennan and the Crown Prince are both in the capital. In fact, they are preparing for the event that the old King Min dies in the capital. One is to arrange the funeral, and the other is to determine the succession status of the king as soon as possible.
Once the funeral is over, either King Zhennan or Zhu Yincheng, one or both of them will definitely return to Min to take charge of the overall situation.
And now it seems that this candidate is probably Zhu Yinqi, and if he wants to go back, then the girl from the Fan family, as the crown prince, will naturally go with him.
However, this kind of matter is very sensitive and it is difficult for anyone to inquire about it, so rumors can only be rumors.
However, looking at Fan Guang's appearance now, it seems that he is inseparable...
