Outside the city gate of the capital.
A group of travel-worn people rushed to the capital. The leader was an old man riding a horse. Behind him were more than ten soldiers. All of them were riding tall horses and had long sabers on their waists.
Everyone could tell at a glance that he was from the border town. It was rare to see such a warhorse in the capital, and it was rare to see such a valiant soldier.
"Grandpa, we are in the capital!"
Behind the old man, a young man looked at the city gate and said.
The old man was Governor Ma Fang of the Xuan Mansion. After hearing his grandson's words, he nodded and said, "Let's go to the Military Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War to do the roll call. Then, we will go to the residence of the Minister of War, Lord Fang."
The others didn't dare to object and followed the old man into the capital.
The roll call went smoothly. That night, he brought his grandson and prepared gifts to the residence of the Minister of War.
The Minister of War, Fang Fengshi, was originally Governor Xuan and Ma Fang's superior.
It was reasonable for Ma Fang to go to the capital to visit Fang Fengshi.
In fact, Ma Fang also asked why she came to the capital this time.
The imperial edict only said that there would be other appointments after she came to the capital. Ma Fang was not sure.
At the door of the residence of the Minister of War, Fang Fengshi, the doorman had already received Ma Fang's visiting card. Hearing that Ma Fang had come, he smiled and said, "So it's Commander Ma. Our master is in the study. Please wait in the living room. I will go and invite our master."
Ma Fang entered the living room of Fang Fengshi's residence. A servant girl served tea and Fang Fengshi came in not long after.
Compared to Ma Fang, Fang Fengshi looked much younger. He looked to be in his forties and had a white face without a beard.
His face was square with a straight nose and a square mouth. He was also a first-class appearance.
He had a long beard that was neatly combed.
Seeing Fang Fengshi come in, Ma Fang quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Minister!"
Fang Fengshi nodded and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk!"
Compared to Fang Fengshi, Ma Fang was a man from Guanzhong. He was tall and had a red face. Although he wasn't young, he still had a murderous aura when he sat there. However, he restrained it in front of Fang Fengshi.
Both of them did not go into the main topic. They talked about what happened in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Ma Fang told Fang Fengshi about the recent situation after he left.
"My visit to the capital this time has left me with some doubts. I hope Milord can dispel them for me!"
Ma Fang saw that the time was right, so she didn't hesitate anymore. She directly asked the question that she was most concerned about.
He was isolated from the outside world in Xuan Manor, so it could be said that he was completely clueless about the capital.
Glancing at Ma Fang, Fang Fengshi thought for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "In reality, it was the Emperor who sent you to the capital."
"If this official's guess is correct, it should have something to do with the capital camp. The last time it was Liu Xian who entered the capital, it wasn't a bad thing. This official can't explain it to you. When you enter the palace and see the Emperor, you should understand."
Ma Fang was stunned. Even the Minister of War couldn't say anything?
His heart sank.
When Ma Fang walked into Fang Fengshi's house, Zhu Yijun already knew that Ma Fang went to see Fang Fengshi.
The person who came to report this matter to Zhu Yijun was naturally Zhang Jing. Zhu Yijun listened quietly and didn't say a word.
"Summon Ma Fang and Liu Xian to the palace tomorrow!" Zhu Yijun said lightly and didn't say anything else.
The next morning, Ma Fang and Liu Xian entered the palace together. Although they were both famous generals of this era and had heard of each other, they were really not familiar with each other. So, they simply greeted each other and entered together.
When Zhu Yijun saw the two of them entering together, a smile appeared on his face. This was his future team!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed meticulously.
This time, Zhu Yijun didn't say that they were exempt from the etiquette, nor did he help them up. When the two of them finished kowtowing and stood up, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Jing, "Have a seat!" After saying this, Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Fang.
He was already familiar with Liu Xian, but it was his first time seeing Ma Fang, so he had to take a good look at her.
"Ma, you, did everything go smoothly?" Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Fang with a smile and said.
"Your Majesty, everything went smoothly!" Ma Fang quickly stood up and replied.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand, "Sit down and talk. There's no need to stand up. There are many things to talk about today. You will probably be more tired than standing!"
After saying this, Zhu Yijun smiled first, then he said to Zhang Jing, "I'll get someone to bring a pot of tea for you!"
Although Ma Fang acted like an honest and honest country bumpkin, Zhu Yijun didn't dare to believe it.
A general who fought at the border for dozens of years, a person who grew up in the enemy camp, and not only did he grow up in the enemy camp, but he was also able to gain the enemy's trust. In the end, he even escaped. If you say that he was honest and honest, Zhu Yijun wouldn't believe it.
Although it seemed so, Zhu Yijun was sure that this was a disguise.
"Liu, you, tell you about the matter to Ma Fang!" Zhu Yijun was too lazy to talk to Ma Fang, so it was more suitable for Liu Xian to talk to him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Liu Xian agreed and told her about the commander and the reorganization of the Capital Camp.
After listening, Ma Fang was stunned. He was asked to come to the capital to reorganize the Capital Camp.
Twelve battalions, which was the Upper Twelve Guards, and he was to supervise six of them. Ma Fang's thoughts were very complicated, but he knew that he had no choice in this matter.
The Emperor transferred him from the Xuan Residence, but he didn't have the intention to ask his thoughts.
"Your Majesty understands!" Ma Fang knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yijun nodded. He was very satisfied with Ma Fang's attitude. He was a good comrade who didn't shirk the responsibility.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun directly changed the topic, "The first thing you need to do is to investigate."
"I will ask Zhang Cheng and Duke Dingguo of the Imperial Horse Bureau to cooperate with you on this matter." Zhu Yijun said directly.
"Five, I want five commander positions. In the twelve battalions, the five worst commanders will be removed from their positions.
Out of these five positions, I have already given out three of them. The remaining two, each of you can have one. "
Zhu Yijun glanced at the two of them and said plainly, "I know that both of you came alone. I will give you a chance to transfer people."
"This commander position doesn't count. You can recommend your own people for the commander's office and I will transfer them over.
In short, if you want people, give them people. If you want money, give them money. "
"I only have one request. Do this matter beautifully for me."
"Each of the two commander's offices will have six battalions. Your six battalions will be the left battalion, and your six battalions will be the right battalion.
You don't need to be responsible to anyone. If you need anything, just look for me. "
