Chapter 769 Gu Zhilong(2/2)
Even among the officials who agreed to move the capital, there was still controversy as to where the capital should be moved, whether to Hongzhou in Jiangxi or Hangzhou in Jiangdong.
Seeing that Gu Zhilong was brooding for a long time, Fu Gengwen took over the conversation again, but he did not directly answer Zhang Xian's question. Instead, he looked at Ruan Tao and Yang Cong and asked: "But I don't know that His Highness King Xin is interested in moving the capital."
How do you see things?"
It is not difficult for Fu Geng Wen to imagine that Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan personally led 30,000 elite troops to Chuzhou. If he really asked Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan to follow his own temper, he must have hoped that Chu's 200,000 soldiers and horses would swarm forward.
Let’s talk about recapturing Huaixi, but this issue is not something that Wang Yang Yuanyan can decide arbitrarily.
In this matter, the attitude of King Shou Yang Zhitang may be more critical.
Fu Gengwen did not think that Zhang Xian would directly inform the longevity king Yang Zhitang of his attitude.
He asked Ruan Tao and Yang Cong at this time, thinking that the two of them had close contact with Prince Shou's Mansion and should have known the attitude of Prince Shou Yang Zhitang towards moving the capital. Then they should answer this question in front of Zhang Xian of Prince Shou's Mansion.
Whether his tone is firm or not, it is not difficult to tell what the true attitude of Shou Wang Yang Zhitang is.
"No matter how powerful the Liang army is in combat, they only have 30,000 soldiers and horses in total in Huaixi. However, the Sima clan surrendered the land of Xu Si. Our great Chu army has 200,000 elite troops outside of Huaixi, which is seven times as many as the Liang army.
, are you really as fearful as a tiger?" Prince Xin Yang Cong said without any concealment.
Fu Gengwen glanced at Zhang Xian and saw that he did not show any impatience or contempt for Yang Cong's tough tone. He turned to look at Gu Zhilong, Xiying, Xishesheng, Xishepeng and his son.
Gu Zhilong obviously had doubts in his heart, while Xiying was thoughtful, washing his voice, and Xishepeng's expression perked up, as if he was extremely interested in the implications of Yang Cong's words.
Although Fu Gengwen regarded himself as Gu Zhilong's right-hand man at this time, he could not steal Gu Zhilong's limelight in front of Zhang Xian, Yang Cong and others. He looked at Gu Zhilong intently to see how he would respond to Yang Cong's words.
"That's true," Gu Zhilong said hesitantly, "but when it comes to her attitude towards Liang Jun, it goes without saying that Queen Mother Changxin, and Prime Minister Shen and Marquis Yang seem to have advocated more compromise with Liang Jun in recent years. In this way If so, even if our great Chu has twice as many elites outside Huaixi, what use will they be worth?"
"It's not necessarily true how strong the generals of the Liang Army are. The reason why they are stronger lies in the fact that Liang's military and political affairs are all about Liang Zhu. However, the military and political affairs of Da Chu involve too many things, making it difficult to make decisions and plan for major events." Fu Geng. Wen said.
"When the late Emperor was thirteen years old, he left the palace and entered the palace. Who would have thought that only one year later, when the late Emperor was fourteen, he would lead the Dragon Bird Army to defend Xichuan City and severely injure Emperor Liang? Your Majesty has turned fourteen this year. "Zhang Xian laughed.
Zhang Xian's words became more obvious, and Gu Zhilong looked hesitantly at Fu Geng Wen.
Although Gu Zhilong always pays attention to the trends in the court, and his youngest son Gu Xiongchang has been serving in the court as a "proton", after all, Gu Xiongchang is far more capable and capable than his second son Gu Zhao who died in Langxicheng. However, he was also uninhibited and unruly in Jinling, and did not do his job properly, which could not help him grasp the details of the palace confinement.
When Gu Zhilong returned to Beijing, although he attended two court meetings and went to the palace for an audience once, both the court meetings and the palace meetings were led by the Empress Dowager Changxin, so he did not leave a particularly deep impression on the new emperor.
