Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2483 Guizi curly grass gray snake line, thousands of miles away

Lu Song knows very well that Long Jinwei is no longer the Long Jinwei 20 years ago, and he is not Gu Cheng either.

Long Jinwei's current position is very embarrassing.

Theoretically, it should be a royal private spy agency, but Emperor Yonglong's coma for several years made him lose his loyalty and had to attach himself to the cabinet.

However, when Emperor Wantong ascended the throne, he regarded himself as a lackey of the cabinet, and promoted Gu Cheng to fight for himself, and even emptied his power.

From the perspective of Emperor Wantong, it was true that he wanted to take back the control of Captain Long from the cabinet, but it was based on the premise of stepping himself into the mud.

This is what Lu Song cannot accept.

He Lu Song is not alone.

Behind him is also the Dragon Guard, and there is also a huge interest group inside and even outside.

Falling down by oneself means the collapse of this front and the loss of all interests.

But Lu Song also knew that if he attached himself to such a huge organization as the cabinet or even civil servants, it would not be the way out for Captain Long.

In that way, any civil servant with a little power can dictate to Long Jinwei, and Long Jinwei's secret control power and deterrent power will slowly and irreversibly collapse.

This is unacceptable to any commander of the Dragon Guard.

In a sense, Lu Song is actually more willing to accept the command arrangement of the first assistant alone.

In this way, the first assistant replaced the emperor and became the sole master of Long Jinwei, and even had more resources in all aspects.

But it is obvious that the chief assistant, who is the head of civil servants, is unwilling to do so.

These civil servants seem to be psychologically unwilling to accept Long Jinwei, and prefer to use Long Jinwei as a fringe but useful institution.

Lu Song has come into contact with many important cabinet ministers, without exception, they all have this inexplicable hatred for Long Jinwei.

Or in their own words, it's more like a kind of moral cleanliness, as if cooperating with Long Jinwei slightly tarnished their innocence.

No matter how well they hide, Lu Song can feel the contempt, disdain and disgust.

Once there is this kind of antipathy in his heart, Lu Song thinks it is difficult to really cooperate.

And the only one who can discuss cooperation with an attitude of appreciation and recognition is Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, Xiao Feng's supervisor.

This feeling also made Lu Song feel very strange.

A civil servant in his early twenties who was born as a scholar and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, but he has a good eye for Long Jinwei. His teachers and friends are all civil servants. Perhaps the only difference is his family background.

He was born in a martial arts noble in the borderlands, his father had a lot of wings in the army, and his family had a great influence in the border town. In addition, this little Governor Feng is now thriving, from the perspective of Lu Song, from the perspective of the Tian family, It is very likely that he will become a generation of power ministers in the future.

Of course, this is only a possibility, but Feng Ziying can be expected to become a very strong chief assistant in the future.

Power ministers are a great threat to the Tian family, and they will also destroy the civil service system. Perhaps the only ones they like or support are military men in the army.

So what about Long Jinwei?

For Long Jinwei, there is nothing better than a strong emperor, and again, a relatively weak emperor, but there are strong servants in the inner palace to rely on, but both of them have opportunities in terms of the current situation. slim.

The Cabinet will not allow either scenario.

The first situation is that the few heirs of Emperor Yonglong can't be seen, and the heir of Emperor Wantong, who is the crown prince who has been arguing, seems too gentle and elegant, and he doesn't look like a generation of heroes.

The second situation may have appeared in the former Ming Dynasty, but the Great Zhou suppressed the inner palace system so severely that it was almost impossible.

If these two possibilities are ruled out, Long Jinwei is happy to see a powerful minister, after all, there is only a thin line between the powerful minister and the yellow robe.

But if the powerful officials want to take this step, they must have the support of military power.

A pure civic official, no matter how powerful and prestige is, it will not help. Once you take the last step, your moral prestige will collapse, and you will be questioned and challenged, and the power of civic officials is often built on this, and Warriors are not.

But the Feng family, or the little Supervisor Feng, seems to have this possibility.

This is also a question that Lu Song feels needs to be seriously considered.

In the long run, there is absolutely no harm in making good friends with the Feng family. No matter which path Feng Ziying takes, his power will only grow day by day. The more Long Jinwei has to deal with him, the more mutual dependence will increase day by day. This is a good thing .

Judging from the present, Emperor Wantong would not recognize and accept himself with Gu Cheng, unless he wanted to be a peace officer and asked to go, but can he go now?

It's just that if I reveal the situation I have to Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying will definitely take action against the Shangsanqin army and the Beijing camp. The pressure will also increase.

Sometimes some things just can't be had at the same time, and Lu Song also knows that he can no longer get the approval of Emperor Wantong. Since Emperor Wantong chose Gu Cheng and began to win over and divide Long Jinwei, the two sides have been irreconcilable.

That being the case, he has no choice, but Lu Song has always been very contradictory in his heart in view of the cabinet officials' attitude towards Long Jinwei, which is similar to using a chamber pot.

But now that there is a character like Feng Ziying who can cooperate, Lu Song also really wants to get in touch with Feng Ziying on a deep level, to explore the other party's bottom and see if the foundation of cooperation is solid.

In addition, he also had to think carefully about the prospects of Feng Ziying and even Feng Tang in the next few years.

A minister of the Ministry of War is not enough to protect Captain Long, or himself, at least he must be a minister of the Ministry of War or even a cabinet minister in case of a crisis.

Lu Song also knew very well that he should not place too much hope on Feng Ziying.

After all, Feng Ziying is too young. If Feng Ziying is 34 years old now, he feels that he can bet on the other party.

But the opponent is only 24 now, which is too young.

Of course, his father Feng Tang's strength in the army can be regarded as a compensation for Feng Ziying's age disadvantage, but in the same way, his status as a warrior will also reduce points.

Lu Song fell into deep thought.

This may be a difficult but crucial choice that I have to make after bumps in the past few years.

Although it is not enough to say that there is no room for U-turn in this initial speculation and probing, but Lu Song knows that this kind of choice will become more and more narrow, and if you look around, you will even have no choice.

The only thing I look forward to is that the other party can really live up to my expectations, is a hero worthy of cooperation or the next step is to say that I will work, not a pure minister, even if the process will be farther and longer, it is still worth it.

If it was the latter, not to mention that he died without a place to bury him, Captain Long Jin might also become dust of history.

After receiving the news from Long Jinwei, Feng Ziying was also a little surprised.

What do you mean?
Shouldn't this be the intended meaning?
Why is Long Jinwei still so serious, even Lu Song himself intends to meet with him?
It's not that I can't meet Lu Song, but it seems that at least it should be a character like Li Sancai who can make Lu Song appear in person. Even Zhang Huaichang seems to be a little weaker.

According to the previous rules, Lu Song was only responsible to the emperor, but now Emperor Wantong seems to have other ideas.

Gu Cheng, who appeared as the attendant of Long Jinwei, was very active, which led the whole Long Jinwei to show some signs of wavering.

But Lu Song's hard work in the past ten years was not in vain. In ten years, whether it was the Fusi of Nanbei Town or the local Long Jinwei, they had all been brought under Lu Song's control.

Even though Gu Cheng still has some old connections in Long Jinwei, it is not easy to pull them over.

It is precisely because Captain Long's state is a little chaotic that Feng Ziying is not at ease, so he has to specifically ask about the intelligence and news channels, but the news that Lu Song is willing to see him still surprises Feng Ziying.

"Classical, what do you mean by Lu Song?" Feng Ziying was a little uncertain.

"To be honest, some of my subordinates also have some monks Zhang Er - I can't figure it out. The meaning of your message is very clear. It is to find out the recent movements of the main military officers of the Shangsanqin Army and the Beijing Camp. According to the usual practice, Long Jinwei has surveillance Even if you feel that the request of the Ministry of War is a bit out of line, you can just report it to the cabinet for approval. This is routine executive intelligence. Lu Song's 'high-standard' meeting is unexpected."

Wang Wenyan was also thinking, "It's true that Captain Long was messed up by Gu Cheng recently, but Lu Song is still in control of the basic board. The status of this servant is a bit baffling, but the cabinet's response to the emperor's move is a bit confusing. It’s not good to react too much. Originally, Long Jinwei was the royal guard, and his status as a servant was to be a consultant, an unofficial title, but it represented the emperor’s intentions, so it still caused Lu Song a lot of trouble,... ..."

"Your Majesty is planning to attack from all directions, and defeat each one." Feng Ziying chuckled, "Or if there is a date or no date to hit a shot, even if you don't succeed, there is nothing to lose."

"You can't say that. If you miss a few tricks, no one will believe you. It will damage your prestige very much." Wang Wenyan shook his head.

"Hmph, no need, so what if you have prestige, just sit and wait for death?" Feng Ziying's words made Wang Wenyan look sideways, "My lord, be careful with your words."

"Hehe, it's a joke, it's just a joke." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Tell me about Lu Song's intentions."

"It's hard to judge, but it's very likely that Lu Song also feels that he is in a bad situation and hopes to seek external support to maintain his status." Wang Wenyan's judgment is quite accurate, "He needs to fight back against Gu Cheng's small actions. Otherwise, he will face more and more challenges and pressure within the Forbidden Dragon, and there must be many people in the Forbidden Dragon watching his performance."

"Then he should go to Ye Fang." Feng Ziying frowned.

"I'm afraid the two of you, Ye Fang, may not be willing to make a move, or..." Wang Wenyan didn't continue.
