Chapter 8: Disputes
There are not many garrisons in the military camp under Wu Mountain outside Lin'an City at the moment, and the camp that was originally full of tents is also sparsely empty and mostly empty, where Zhang Shijie's Qinwang Army was once stationed, so it is quite spacious, after being arranged here, Jiang Cai stayed here every day, waiting for the arrangement of himself, but day by day passed like this, and there was no clear statement, which made him a little bored.
The cavalry under his command all felt the mood of their own commander, and worked extremely hard in training, for fear that they would be caught in the wrong place and touch the moldy head of the capital. Jiang Cai, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to vent here, saw their diligence and consciousness, and slowly forgot his original intention, and instead pointed to the side, Shi Zhong, who knew his temperament, was relieved.
In this case, all the cavalry brethren who survived that charge were exalted, but in the end, not a quarter of them were able to make it to this point intact. Now all of them have become this almost reorganized army ~ general, Shi Zhong himself has also been promoted to the deputy commander, and the current Jiang Cai is already on an equal footing, of course, everyone knows that his first merit has not yet been narrated, according to Liu Yu's words, at least it should be a general system.
In a blink of an eye, it has been three or four days since I arrived in the capital, except for half of the brothers who followed into the city when the prisoners were sacrificed, in order to avoid trouble, all the people were strictly ordered not to go out at will, and the idle men could only practice hard every day to vent, otherwise the rest of the energy was really difficult to discharge. After instructing a young cavalryman in the marksmanship, Jiang Cai retreated to watch them continue training, and Shi Zhong also jumped off the horse and handed the rope to his own soldiers.
"Old Jiang, Da Lang's injury is about to heal." Shi Zhong found a suitable topic, and then naturally stretched out his hand, Jiang Cai knew what he meant, patted on his body, found that he was wearing armor, turned around and walked to the mount, took out a pack of cigarettes from the back of the cloth pocket, took one and lit it for himself, and was about to take it again, but the whole pack was snatched away.
"You guy, if you want a cigarette, you want a cigarette, and pretend to care about the big man, he has been resting for a long time, and there is no big problem, but the wound has not yet healed, so let him stay in the camp, you don't have to fake your kindness, it's not a trick to burst out." Having said that, Jiang Cai still briefly talked about his son's injuries, Jiang Ning is the same as him, the foundation is thick, that is, the blood flows more, and it heals quickly, in fact, the injuries on his own body are not necessarily much less than those on his own.
"Don't worry, a certain person regards Dalang as a parent, don't you know, how can you harm him, and when he is all right, he plans to take him to see it." Shi Zhong spat out a cigarette and said tentatively, who originally won the battle, and who survived didn't have some money in his pocket, and those who had no family to support had to find a place to spend money, they were all illiterate fighters, naturally they were either gambling or prostituting, and he was just entrusted by the brothers this time.
"Lao Shi, I won't tell you anything, you and I are both from ordinary people, and the brothers don't know what they are thinking. But this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is inevitable to meet some snobbish people, one bad is a disaster, then what should you and I do? Talk to the brothers, endure for a few more days, and wait until our envoy comes down. Hearing Jiang Cai's words, Shi Zhong understood his difficulties very well and nodded silently.
They have made a great contribution this time, and there must be a lot of people waiting to find faults, and now that the future is undecided, they can't make trouble for Jiang Cai. Shi Zhong looked at the huge city not too far away, although it was not as high as Jiankang City, but the whole was still very majestic, but unfortunately, his people did not belong here, rather than not being happy here, it was better to go elsewhere to have a leisure.
"It's okay, isn't it too shou and hasn't been settled, he's not in a hurry, what are you and I anxious about, the court will always give us an explanation." Looking at the old man's expression, he knew what Shi Zhong wanted to say, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, took the last puff of cigarette, and learned the kind of practice that Liu Yu was used to, flicked his fingers, and the cigarette flew out in an arc.
"Brothers, cheer up, rehearse the formation again, and pay for a good meal today." Jiang Cai stood under his flag, raised his hand into a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly, but unfortunately Liu Yu asked them not to use the things brought by the future here, otherwise they wouldn't have to shout so much.
"Dutong, is there any meat?" The young cavalryman asked, swallowing his saliva, causing a burst of laughter from the old pawns around him.
"Yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it then." Jiang Cai laughed, clapped his hands and commanded them to line up the battle formation, and after a while, the war horses began to accelerate, the cavalry held their spears and mastered the frequency of the horses' running, and the whole team rushed forward like a huge arrow.
On the far street, some people watched them train curiously, these cavalry are not often seen, in their opinion, compared to the royal camp army in the city, these people are more neat, although they are all watching the excitement, there are a few people who are obviously insiders, and when they see some highlights, they quietly write them down.
At this moment, in the political hall located in the forbidden middle, there was a bit of an atmosphere of arrows and bullets, and in the big room of the main house, those straight houses all hid with their respective documents. Occasionally, people who came to pay tribute were also taken by the murderous atmosphere here, and they didn't dare to report it to the house. Only the retinue of those ministers looked left and right without care, which had long been commonplace for them.
"No, it's very inappropriate to take such a measure, this minister will never agree, if Chen Xiang insists on writing the text, he will not countersign it." Wang Entropy didn't pay the oil and salt, he just glanced at the document and threw it back directly, Chen Yizhong seemed to have known his result for a long time, and turned his gaze to the governor Liumengyan on the side.
"Whether it's appropriate or not, sit down and talk first, and wait for the old man to take a look before making plans." Liu Mengyan picked it up with a wry smile, his eyes were not very good, the words on the document were a little small, almost touched by him to his nose, and it took him a long time to read it, and he already knew in his heart that the dispute between the two of them was, this time, Wang Entropy was not against it for the sake of opposition, there was still a certain amount of truth, but the new minister's temperament was also very stubborn, how to say it, he had a headache.
"With this Jiang Dutong's military merits and qualifications, there is no problem in over-promotion." Liumengyan pondered for a moment and spoke, and sure enough, as soon as he said this, Wang Entropy's eyes skimmed, as if to say that the two of you should not want to collude, he waved his hand to signal him to be calm, and then continued.
"But what Chen Xiang said about transferring to the front division of the palace should also be discussed, I heard that the commander Su had returned to Beijing yesterday, and he was mentioned this time because of merit, and it seems that something is wrong to transfer this Jiang Cai again." After speaking, Liu Mengyan looked at Chen Yizhong and wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Commander Su is Li Shuai's department, and he is not in the same place, Jiang Caigong is still above him, why can't he do it? Besides, this is also the meaning of the cardinal, the front of the palace is transferred out more, transferred less, the Jiang Department of those cavalry are elite, a few days ago you waited and didn't see it, it's a pity not to be included in the imperial camp, you are the most important state affairs, don't waste the public because of private affairs. ”
Chen Yizhong saw that the two of them had different opinions, so he simply went on another path, and reported it in the name of the cardinal mansion to let the palace decide, so as not to have to grind his tongue here, anyway, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his actions, and he was not afraid of anyone when he saw him.
"You" Hearing Chen Yizhong's mocking words, Wang Entropy was really angry, he was not young anymore, this time he was a little up and down, and his face became flushed, Liu Mengyan saw it and quickly helped him together, and sat on the low bed on the side.
"Chen Youquan, don't say that you are so selfless, who doesn't know that since the change of the forbidden army, you are there to cover the sky with one hand. If you're not convinced, the old man will discuss with you. Wang Entropy waited for a little smoother, then pushed away Liu Mengyan's hand, sat on the bed and pointed at Chen Yizhong and said.
"Oh, what does the king say, a certain listener." Chen Yi already had a plan in the center, so he no longer wanted to entangle with them, but it was not good to just leave, seeing Wang Entropy's situation, and wanting to hear what he would say, he still sat on his chair, picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.
"Don't you think that others don't know, where did Jiang Cai and Su Liuyi work before? What kind of crime did you use to get rid of Han Zhen before, but now you have summoned two Jia Xiang's old departments, what is the reason. First, second, Zhang Yan, the commander of the front division of the palace, was also recommended by you, where is he with the imperial forbidden army now? Why don't you go back to Beijing? Third, who doesn't know that there is no chief official in the cardinal mansion now, what do you say about the cardinal's office, isn't it planned by you alone, I advise you, don't bully the official's family is young, and you want to be a powerful minister, and the end of Jia is there. ”
"I can't imagine that Wang Xiang is old, and his speech is still so clever, Chen is worthy of the court, and you don't want to do things like chasing the wind and shadows, if you have words, you might as well directly impeach Yu in the chapter, Chen should be exempt from the crown, if you are just quick to give up in vain, you are not interested in fighting with you. There are many state affairs, so I took the first step and said goodbye. ”
Watching Chen Yizhong sneer and step out of the door of the political affairs hall, Wang Entropy's face has become iron-blue, and Liu Mengyan on the side is also uncomfortable, Chen Yizhong is too rigid to do things, and there is no room for harmony at all, so that the political affairs hall is noisy and shouting like this every day, but many things can't be done. This issue is already very strict, and if the power of the matter cannot be clarified, it will be a great hidden danger to the Great Song Dynasty.
"Liuxiang, you have also seen it, it's not that the old man has nothing to do, this son is extremely arrogant, and he doesn't put you and me in his eyes at all, how about it? Do you want to instigate the Imperial History Book? Wang Entropy didn't think about acting alone, and he had a chance of winning by pulling Liu Mengyan, and it was impossible for the Empress Dowager to ignore the opinions of the two old ministers, but Liu Mengyan didn't care about his radical method at all.
"At least not now, Chen Youquan is not at fault, even if he acts a little more domineering, it is just the first time to ascend to the stage, the reason for his youth and vigor, the Empress Dowager will not treat him well. Now that it's an eventful season, let's think about how to help each other in the same boat. He shook his head and said, just kidding, now the state affairs are in a mess, didn't you see that even the governor abandoned the official and fled a few days ago, you went to his post, did you go to the post yourself?
"I want to go to the palace, but it's not for his business, the Tartar envoy has been here for many days, how to deal with it, there should be a charter, the old man went to see what the queen mother meant, and see if you want to talk about it? Wang Xiang, it's better to go. ”
Hearing the invitation sent by Liu Mengyan, Wang Entropy smiled bitterly and nodded, this is probably the only thing that Chen Yizhong didn't care, he was right, he had been hanging people for so long, he should have an attitude, if he didn't take advantage of this great opportunity to negotiate peace with the north, would he continue to fight? You must know that there is no money in the treasury, and even this reward has not been able to come up with much, and it is all because their own seizures are quite generous, so they can be regarded as not provoking a military mutiny.
