After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 132 It's a pity that reporting is useless...

"So why is my father so hard to think about it!" Shangguan sat quietly in the gazebo, her face was almost wrinkled into a bun, she really couldn't figure it out even if she wanted to break her head!It hasn't been long since the princes entered the court on official business, and the battle for the reserve position has just begun. What is he in a hurry for? !
Besides, the Fifth Prince seems to be in a very good situation now!I heard that the emperor was very satisfied when he went to Beijing to investigate the case a few days ago, and the fifth prince has the full support of Prime Minister Chen, Shangguanjing feels that the future is very bright, Wu Dinghou is very hopeful to be the emperor's father-in-law!

"Your father doesn't think about it." Old man Feng replied indifferently: "Your father has always walked on multiple legs like a crab. The fifth prince's situation is good, and it doesn't prevent him from paving the way for himself. You But don't forget, King Huaiyang doesn't have military power in his hands. Regarding rebellion, from your father's point of view, it doesn't matter if you cooperate with anyone, as long as you have a clan status to pull the banner. But from King Huaiyang, He can't live without your father."

"Isn't there still a way to recruit private soldiers?" Xiao Jingheng asked: "I don't think the father will fully trust the father-in-law, and he will definitely leave a way for himself."

"Do you know how much it costs to raise soldiers?" Old Man Feng sneered: "Conspiracy is a very expensive thing. Since he is determined to do this, raising private soldiers is inevitable. But do you know how many troops your father-in-law has in his hands? The army in his hands was supported by the treasury's military pay. But what about your father? Even if he has been preparing for rebellion for many years, no matter how much money he has saved, he may be able to catch up with the treasury's military expenses? Can you bear the expense of raising troops and training them like running water?"

"That's definitely not possible." Shangguan Jing shook his head: "Let's not talk about military pay, just say how much money so many people get for food every day. There are also training and ordnance, all of which cost money."

"So it's not surprising that King Huaiyang has some private soldiers." Old man Feng replied: "But if he is alone, the scale of the private soldiers will not be very large. At most, he will raise some trusted killers or secret agents It is the most cost-effective way for the guard camp and the pro-guard regiment to seek refinement but not excess. But if he wants to recuperate on a large scale, it is impossible not to pass Marquis Wu Ding. So I think the biggest possibility at present is that Marquis Wu Ding intercepts Falsely reporting military expenses, eating food from the treasury, and raising their own soldiers. Just doing this, the actual control of the private soldiers is probably still in the hands of Wu Dinghou."

"My father already has the military power in his hands, and he still helps the king of Huaiyang to expend this effort. He is really full and can't think about it. He is sick!" Shangguan Jing curled his lips, and he couldn't complain in his head.

"Look, I usually say that you are not as smart as Jing Heng, but you are always dissatisfied," old man Feng caught Shangguan Jing's braids, and immediately complacently said, "How many years have I been teaching you? How many years do you think such stupid words are?" Can you tell? It’s true that your father has an army of 10,000+ in his hands. He has been in the army for many years and has a good reputation. Can your father respond to everyone in the army?"

"Of course I know not!" Shangguan Jing replied violently: "Although your old man always said that the emperor's ability is mediocre, he is hardworking and not faint. Live well, live a good life, except for those two people who are overwhelmed by power, who wants to rebel when they are full? Even if my father has a lot of face in the army, he can respond to ordinary things, but this is rebellion. "

"Yes!" Xiao Jingheng nodded: "My father-in-law is indeed very shrewd, but I believe that there are still many loyal generals in the Zhou army, such as Mr. Qin."

"That's right." Old man Feng shook his head, triumphantly: "No matter how influential your father is in the army, he doesn't have [-]% control over the generals under him, but the private soldiers raised by King Huaiyang are different. Who will be the general? It’s all up to them to choose, and the people they carefully selected will naturally be loyal to them. So whatever I say, you are stupid!”

"Come on!" Shangguanjing looked very bad-tempered, and rolled his eyes at old man Feng very impolitely: "Don't talk about it, old man, I just said it casually, because I can't figure out why my father is so full. nothing to do."

"Your father is so shrewd, how could he do useless things." Old Man Feng sneered: "I said, King Huaiyang's small-scale private soldiers must be controlled by himself. If it is a large-scale private soldier, it must be raised by your father." , Whether it's selection, training, or recuperation, he has to rely on your father, don't you understand this sentence?"

Shangguan Jing was stunned for a moment, his head stunned by the bad news immediately calmed down.She squinted at old man Feng, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "So this is the way out."

"Yes!" Old Man Feng nodded: "This is your father's way out. He didn't agree to help King Huaiyang raise soldiers, so he had reservations, so let's not mention it. But he agreed, and King Huaiyang is not in vain. Command him. The actual controller of these soldiers is your father, and they are loyal to King Huaiyang on the surface, but who actually listens to them, don’t you still understand?”

"I can figure it out, so the King of Huaiyang can naturally." After thinking for a while, Shangguan Jing replied, "It's not good for him, so why would he do this?"

"It's no good." Old man Feng snorted coldly: "You don't even think about it. The government of this dynasty is stable, and your Shangguan family raises the flag and rebels alone. You are not surnamed Xiao, so the king of Huaiyang's rebellion is usurpation, you Father raises the flag alone to rebel, that is to overthrow the Great Zhou and establish a new dynasty, do you think it will be possible?"

"Everyone takes what they need and weighs it." Xiao Jingheng added: "My father and father-in-law have their own calculations and their own reservations."

He picked up the iced sour plum soup on the table and stuffed it into Shangguan Jing's hands: "Sister Jing doesn't need to get angry about these things. We can't stop what they are determined to do, and there is no need to worry about the relationship between them." Relationships and interests. Here you are, the sour plum soup that Madam Chen specially made to drink in the well when she woke up early, is just good to drink now, and it won't be cold in a while."

"That's right." Shangguan Jing took the sour plum soup with a sullen face, and took a sip perfunctorily: "We are all in danger now, who cares how they bite dogs. I want to go to the emperor to report them now."

"If you have evidence, you can go." Old man Feng glanced at Shangguanjing, took a bowl of cold sour plum soup from the table, and sipped happily: "But what's the use of reporting it with empty teeth? Do you think Huaiyang King and your father can't figure out the suspects? You must have underestimated them too!"

"I just said that casually." Shangguan rested his chin quietly: "I also know that it is useless to report now."

　---Here is the dividing line for reporting--
　　Xiao Jingjing really wanted to kill her relatives righteously, but unfortunately she had no evidence...
