Chapter 164: Wang Ao

For the nobles at all levels in the city of Beijing, the news of the imperial court, especially the news about the military situation, was simply undefended for them.

After all, they are too deeply involved with the imperial court.

Songpan, Guangxi, and Wuliangha are full of smoke. It was a great opportunity for many of him.

Especially in Zhu Qizhen's pro-government, the signals released by the nobles at all levels are naturally not fools.

If to Uliangha. The second generation of honors at all levels are still worried in their hearts. But for Songpan, the chaos in Guangxi, he never paid attention to it.

After all, it has only been a few decades, and many people are still there at that time.

The nobles at all levels are at most three generations.

The family history is not fake, maybe the elders are gone, but there are still hundreds of families in the family, and most of these families have battlefield experience.

Some even have the strength to lead troops.

Even if these nobles have never been on the battlefield, with the help of these family members, as long as they don't make trouble by themselves, they will honestly listen to persuasion. There are usually no big defeats.

Honestly fight one battle after another, and after a few years of training, it will come out.

This is also the reason why there is a gatekeeper.

It's just that the noble generation is not as good as the generation, and at least the current three generations still have the courage to go to the battlefield. After four or five generations, I am afraid that even if they have the courage to go to the battlefield, the emperor will not dare to use it.

The reason is very simple, among his family, those veterans who can go into battle to kill the enemy and are very skilled in military affairs are all dead.

The emperor's attitude towards the nobles was tilted, which naturally made many nobles see the opportunity.

The first person to come to the door was none other than Liu Sheng's son, Liu Pu.

Liu Pu knelt in front of Zhang Fu. Long kneeling can't be done.

Seeing this, Zhang Fu said, "Virtuous nephew, get up quickly, why bother?" ”

Liu Pu said; "Uncle Zhang, my father unfortunately died in Annan. The door is withering. The nephew also has no way. Now His Majesty intends to use the ministers, and the nephew only asks Uncle Zhang to pull the nephew for the sake of his father's face. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Fu said, "You get up first, I will find a way for you to do this thing." ”

Liu Sheng died in battle, and the status of the Marquis of Anyuan plummeted.

The conclusion that Liu Sheng died in the battle and covered the coffin actually dragged on for a long time.

Liu Sheng died in the Xuande period, but Liu Sheng's posthumous seal had to be finalized in the first year of orthodoxy.

Although Emperor Xuanzong was psychologically prepared for the loss of Annam, he was so defeated, the soldiers were lost, and the ministers were killed in battle, and Emperor Xuanzong has always been angry.

Therefore, Xuanzong did not deal with the people involved in Annan's defeat until his death.

Even the reason why Liu Sheng was able to posthumously present Rong Guogong. In fact, it was also the Empress Dowager who treated Liu Sheng and others leniently in order to balance the government and politics.

Otherwise, if Emperor Xuanzong is here, it is really hard to say what the name of Liu Sheng will look like after his death.

In fact, you can refer to it, what is the fate of Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi Guo, who was also wiped out by the whole army? The people of the Qiu family are still in Qiongzhou.

But Qiu Fu's mourning master is only one or two thousand elites.

And Liu Shengcai lost hundreds of thousands, even if Liu Sheng was in the midst of a rout in Annan, he fought remarkably, and in the end, the friendly army collapsed, and the rear army did not arrive, and finally died in battle.

Either way, a failure is a failure.

So even the Empress Dowager let Liu Sheng go because of the idea of balancing the court situation. But it doesn't mean that the Empress Dowager is so gracious to the Liu family.

After all, Liu Sheng's funeral is hundreds of thousands, and he can still posthumously seal Liu Sheng's Rong Guogong.

The love between the Liu family and the royal family is almost the same.

can also count on the Empress Dowager to take more care of the Liu family.

So Liu Pu has always had such and such worries in his heart, so after seeing the opportunity, he directly asked Zhang Fumen.

Zhang Fu was also helpless.

Liu Sheng fought side by side with Zhang Fu at the beginning, speaking of which, Liu Sheng is still a lot older than Zhang Fu, and the comrade-in-arms relationship may be heart-to-heart, but in many cases, it is also a fateful friendship.

It's not that there is no friction between Liu Sheng and Zhang Fu.

But people die and their debts are gone, and they can't really be ignored.

However, Zhang Fu can't recommend Liu Pu casually.

So Zhang Fukao taught Liu Pu.

He asked, sighed slightly in his heart, and said secretly: "It's really not as good as the generation." ”

Liu Pu is performing, Zhang Fu can only use one word, that is, flat, the real mediocrity. It's a mediocre general.

Of course, a mediocre general is also a general.

In Zhang Fu's view, Liu Pu is not a layman. The more reluctant it is to lead the troops into battle.

But I really expect Liu Pu to fight some beautiful battles, and Zhang Fu has no hope. Sometimes the gap between people is so big.

It's really hard to talk about talent.

Zhang Fu said: "Virtuous nephew, after I go back, I will take a good look at the information in Guangxi." ”

Liu Pu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Zhang Fu's hint is already very obvious, how can Liu Pu not understand. Immediately, Liu Pu left with a thousand thanks.

Zhang Fu originally intended not to send generals to Guangxi, and let Shanyun's subordinates stay in Guangxi to assist the Wenchen who was guarding the town to pacify Guangxi.

After all, in his opinion, the foundation left by Shanyun in Guangxi is also quite good.

It's just that Zhang Fu begged to come over, so he naturally had to think of a way.

"However, in this way, the minister guarding Guangxi needs a capable and ethical person." Zhang Fu secretly said in his heart: "Is it Lao Wang?" ”

When Zhang Fu was talking about this old king, Yang Shiqi was also recommending this old king to Zhu Qizhen.

"Wang Ao."

In the Mandarin Palace. Zhu Qizhen chewed on the name slowly.

"Exactly." Yang Shiqi said: "Wang Ao is a thirteen-year jinshi of Yongle, Xuande was once the imperial history, upright, never seen love, so that the court inside and outside the clear. ”

"It's just a little too upright. The minister saved the intention of preservation, and was released as the governor, and he was inspecting Jiangxi at the moment. During the Xuande period, Songpan was in turmoil, Wang Ao was the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Huai was dismissed, which was also advocated by Wang Ao. ”

"In addition to appeasing Songpan, Wang Ao can be regarded as having done it once."

"The minister thought that when he sent Sichuan to command Li An, he was the general, and Wang Ao was the commander. Entering Songpan, within a few months, it will be pacified. ”

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while.

Before, he didn't notice.

But at the moment he figured out a line.

On the matter of the Songpan Rebellion, Qian Hong rebelled, Chen Huai sought peace, Chen Huai was tyrannical, causing a second rebellion, Wang Ao impeached Chen Huai, Chen Huai resigned, and Jiang Gui took the throne. Immediately, Jiang Gui put down the rebellion in the northwest under Wang Ji.

For a moment, Zhu Qizhen felt complicated about Jiang Gui.

Secretly said: "Who is Jiang Gui?" ”

Speaking of which, Jiang Gui is not wrong with Zhang Fu's old department, but Zhang Fu led tens of millions of troops, and the old department is all over the world, Jiang Gui is just one of them, although Zhang Fu really likes Jiang Gui, and he will not wait for Jiang Gui to die old before he discovers it.

Chen Huai may not be able to let go of Jiang Gui's replacement of him easily, and it is naturally impossible to say that he is Jiang Gui's backer.

Think about what Yang Rong said before.

Immediately felt that Jiang Gui was too easy to use for Wenchen, abiding by the law, being strict with himself, daring to fight, and obeying the orders from above.

Isn't it that civil officials are the commanders, and military ministers are the most suitable generals among the generals.

For a while, Zhu Qizhen also became a little suspicious of Jiang Gui in his heart.

However, soon Zhu Qizhen suppressed Jiang Gui's suspicions.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen doesn't doubt the relationship between Jiang Gui and Wenchen, although the relationship between Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi was not good at first, as they grew old, it got better.

Because, the struggle between them is more of a power struggle, and on top of the political concept, they are unanimous.

But Zhu Qizhen has been an emperor for a long time, and the more he understands the world, the more confident he becomes.

He was confident that no matter who promoted Jiang Gui, he had the ability to make Jiang Gui loyal to him. After all, he is the emperor, as long as he does not go against the grain, he is inherently invincible.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen is more and more worried about Wenchen's relationship network in the army.

Because in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, they crossed the line.

Zhu Qizhen said: "There are priorities, this matter is postponed first, after all, Songpan is remote, and there is nothing to let it go?" It's just the chaos in Guangxi, but we can't hesitate. Otherwise, if Guizhou is implicated, the situation will not be good, so why don't you ask Wang Qing to sit in Guangxi? ”
