Chapter 1181
The turbulent situation within the imperial capital became increasingly turbulent and chaotic due to Situ Tai's hurry to arrange Yanyun defense with Zhao Chenghuai and Situ Yushuang's illness. The political and economic elites in the upper class of the imperial capital became restless because of the end of the Battle of Yunzhong. People with the same political views were connected with each other, and people with different political views attacked each other. The result of the Battle of Yunzhong was like a huge rock thrown into a wine barrel that had been brewing and fermenting for a long time, which suddenly stirred up and emitted a strong atmosphere.
The original plan to launch an attack on Jinzhong with the City Guards and the Eighth Legion has been stranded. The Battle of Yunzhong has actually determined the direction of the situation in the north of the Empire. Jinzhong has no longer concerns the overall situation, and the Imperial Guards who stayed in the Imperial Capital also feel a little nervous. Where should the future situation of the Empire go? The Imperial Gendarmerie and the Imperial Wulin Army have an extremely ambiguous attitude. Although their strength is nothing in Ma Yuansheng's eyes, it is only about 10,000 people in total, which can help. However, once the Imperial Guard remains neutral, these forces will become very important. There are also the Imperial Police General Administration and the Imperial Capital Police Department, and the status of the Imperial Police Department seems to have become important all of a sudden. But can the Imperial Guard remain neutral? What should the City Guards do?
Ma Yuanfeng had a headache. Yusufu had brought the remnants of the City Guards and the Third Legion to the Imperial Capital City, and made a request to enter the Imperial Capital. According to the tradition of the Empire, the City Guards could only have one division stationed in the city, and other field corpses were not allowed to enter the Imperial Capital City. However, this practice had long been destroyed by the three kings when they entered the capital that day. Now Yusufu proposed to enter the capital city. After all, after the battle of Yunzhong, Li Wufeng had completely reversed his disadvantage in the north. More than 100,000 rangers gathered in the north, and the King of Yan Hall
What we need to consider now is not just to defeat the Western Xinjiang army, but how to prevent the various impacts brought by the offensive and defensive changes after the Battle of Yunzhong. The entire Yanshan, Peiping, and Cangzhou are all within the attack range of the Western Xinjiang army, and the Duoduans and the Puer people seem to have completely lost confidence. Although Yulin is still controlled by the Puer people, and the Western Xinjiang seems to be not busy launching an offensive to Yulin, but Ma Yuan is sure that the Puer people have no support from the military power of His Highness Yan King, and they cannot face the Western Xinjiang army alone. Withdrawing from Yulin is also an inevitable move, sooner or later.
Now it seems that no one can trust. Ma Yuanxing, who has the largest armed force in the entire imperial capital, does not know who he should listen to. Although undercurrents in the imperial capital, Ma Yuanxing also knows that those forces who are pro-Li Wufeng and who are active frequently have jumped out, but no one has come to persuade him yet. However, Ma Yuanxing knows that as long as he shows a little bit of his voice, he is afraid that the lobbyists in the Western Xinjiang will break through the threshold. Solving the problem of the imperial capital without bloodshed is probably a good thing that Li Wufeng dreams of.
Ma Yuan went to the residence of His Highness Thirteenth Princess twice to visit His Highness Thirteenth Princess' condition, but His Highness Thirteenth Princess' condition still did not improve. The imperial physician had already diagnosed it. His excessive mental strength and typhoid fever made the strange woman who had been helping the Situ family to support the overall situation in the imperial capital finally unable to withstand it anymore. She had already been sleeping in a drowsy for a few days. It seemed that it would be rare to recover in a short period of time. Situ Tai had already gone to Peking, which was his nest. Once Yan Yun collapsed, the imperial domestic war was
I'm afraid it should be announced that it's over. In fact, Ma Yuanxing seems to have a feeling of looking forward to the coming soon. Now this kind of life makes him unable to stop. As long as the Situ family still has a glimmer of hope, he has to do all his strength to fulfill this duty. This is his promise to His Highness Thirteenth Princess after his beloved concubine is released. Although Situ Biao announced that Wuhu and Jiangnan will all be returned to Li Wufeng in the south, Ma Yuanxing knew that he was afraid that the Situ Dynasty would really be dead.
He sighed softly. Although Ma Yuanchang had no good feelings for Li Wufeng, he still had to admire this comet-like rising figure. Although the imperial capital was not under his control, Xijiang was actually completely open to the imperial capital. From Longquan to Jinzhong, from Huanggang to Jiujiang, food and various necessities of daily necessities were continuously imported into the imperial capital. The prices of the imperial capital, which had been high, suddenly fell. No matter whether the other party was buying people's hearts or not, being able to do this was enough to show the other party's confidence and mind. Even the servants in his mansion couldn't help but mutter to themselves that maybe the world should really be the King of Qin sitting down, which made Ma Yuanchang feel mixed emotions.
The staunch supporters of His Highness Yan in the imperial capital seemed to have also split up. Many people began to change from support to ambiguity, from ambiguity to silence, from silence to dark activities. All this is like a transformation process, constantly being staged on many people. Ma Yuanchang didn't know if he would become like this one day. Human nature is the most difficult to predict. Even though he had promised His Highness Thirteenth Princess, many times, some things cannot be transferred by his will.
"Sir, there is a guest outside the door asking for a visit." The servant called softly to wake the horse away from his contemplation.
"Didn't I say it? Except for the person coming from the Thirteenth Princess's house, I won't see any other people?" He glanced at the old servant who was a little timid. How could this old servant make mistakes even in such a thing after being with him for so many years? What's going on with him today?
"Sir, the guest's identity is a bit special, so I dared to invite him into the mansion and wait." The old servant lowered his head, although he was a little uneasy in his words, he was very sure.
"Oh? Who is it?" Ma Yuanchang suddenly felt something was wrong. He was not a person who was not a person who was arbitrarily in charge of himself.
"Sir, it's General Huangfu." Although the voice was small, it hit Ma Yuanjian like Gorge, making Ma Yuanjian's teacup in his hand, and even a lot of water came out.
"Huangfu Tiancheng? He is so brave?" Anger and excitement mixed with a hint of panic rolled in Ma Yuanxing's chest. He took a heavy sip of tea and took several deep breaths. Ma Yuanxing gradually calmed down his mood. "Hmph, what are he doing? Isn't he a lobbyist for Li Wufeng?!"
The old servant didn't dare to speak, but just lowered his head and said nothing. The room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and Ma Yuanxing was also struggling fiercely. It seemed that Li Wufeng's lobbying offensive finally fell on his head, and he dared to let Huangfu Tiancheng come. He regarded the capital as nothing, and did not take the risks of existence seriously. Ma Yuanxing was a little confused and a little lost. The person who determined the fate of this city was no longer himself, nor anyone in the city, but had long become Li Wufeng, who was far away from Hanzhong Prefecture, thousands of miles away.
"Go and invite him in. I think I should have a good talk with him. Over the years, I have wanted to find a suitable opportunity and have a heart-to-heart talk with him, but it is always impossible to achieve it. Well, just take this opportunity. Maybe this opportunity will never be possible in the future." In the end, I took my eyes back from the distance outside the window, and Ma Yuan said lightly.
Huangfu Tiancheng sat in the waiting room where Ma Yuan went to the mansion, looking very peaceful. He volunteered to come to the imperial capital to see Ma Yuan. The battle in Yunzhong had already determined the fate of the Situ family. Although he had no special friendship with his old boss, he had never been embarrassed by himself during his years as the commander of the division, and even deliberately or unintentionally supported him. Huangfu Tiancheng was not a kind-hearted person. The large ship of the Situ family was about to sink. Even though the old boss was unwilling to board His Royal Highness the Qin King, the giant ship that had just set sail, there was no need to accompany the Situ family to destroy it. Huangfu Tiancheng was unwilling to see this scene. He did not want to see the imperial guards that he once proud of were hit to pieces in the rolling historical trend.
Sitting calmly opposite his old boss, Huangfu Tiancheng was very calm, while Ma Yuanqian on the opposite side was also quite peaceful. Although the two of them belonged to different camps at this time, their mood seemed to be more relaxed and closer at this time.
"Sir, it's been a long time since I saw you. I don't know if you are in good health?" Huangfu Tiancheng was not too restricted in front of his old boss. This was his usual style.
"It's okay, I'm born to work hard, and even if I want to be idle, I'm trapped by many bonds." Ma Yuanlong sighed a lot in his heart. It was obvious that the other party was highly valued by Li Wufeng in the Western Xinjiang camp. He heard that the Second Division of the Imperial Guard had received a large number of excellent soldiers as soon as it entered Jinzhong, and it was immediately restored to a full division. However, all the officers were retained. It seemed that Li Wufeng also trusted him very much.
"Haha, it seems that it is difficult for soldiers to separate themselves from the word "work hard". It is hard to get rid of it. It seems that adults have a deep understanding of it. It is only in recent years that Tiancheng gradually realized this." Huangfu Tiancheng nodded.
