Chapter 153: Embarrassment
Since the founding of the country, the Great Song Dynasty has held a distrustful attitude towards the army, and the mobilization of the army must have military orders and military symbols. Although Leizhou also belongs to the Guangnan West Road, and he was also ordered to preside over the transfer of soldiers and materials to Qiongzhou, he led the army across the sea without a general order and without a report, so he couldn't say anything. It's just that yesterday I was discussing the whole training with His Highness, and this happened today.
What's more serious is that Ying Jieyan knows that His Royal Highness and Jiang Wanzai have a disagreement because of the pacification of Qiongzhou, and he has always been wary of the Jiang family. And His Royal Highness has always suspected that Jiang Zongjie is his secret son buried beside him, so he was transferred from the personal guard and arranged in Fusi. But this does not mean that His Royal Highness is at ease with Jiang Xuan, his high position and power should be the object of guard, and it will be even more harmful if there is a trouble. With Ying Jieyan's understanding of His Royal Highness, he has always been good at taking advantage of opportunities, and now it is not impossible to take the opportunity to kill Jiang Xuan by military law to prevent future troubles, and even if Jiang Wanzai has nothing to say before.
Now His Royal Highness has decided to rectify military discipline, and according to the ineffable rules in the army, he will often select a few typical examples to deal with in public, so as to deter the army and play the role of killing chickens and monkeys. Jiang Xuan was born in a famous family, his father and uncle were both prime ministers, and his family went to difficulties for the country, which can be described as a loyal martyr; Moreover, he is also the master of Wang Fu Yishan, His Royal Highness, and he has been a transfer envoy all the way, and his reputation and status are prominent enough. If His Royal Highness takes killing him as the beginning of the rectification of military discipline, it will not be killing chickens and monkeys, but killing monkeys and chickens, not only the commander's mansion will be shocked, but all the ministers in the court will be frightened.
"Fu Shuai, what will His Highness do to Jiang Yishan?" Deng Guangjian asked again.
"Zong Bao has followed the palace marshal since he was a child, and he is familiar with military affairs, and he is not a person who does not know the depths. He left his post without permission, and there must be a reason why the troops left Leizhou. When the matter is not clear, it is difficult for the old man to make a conclusion. Ying Jie Yan was upset by things, if Jiang Xuan was really given military law by His Royal Highness, how could he be right. I am also sorry for Jiang Wanli, who was martyred for the country, and I can only say perfunctorily when I see Deng Guangjian asking.
"Jiang Yishan is also too reckless, and if His Royal Highness is not punished, I am afraid that the whole Shuai Mansion will also disagree!" Deng Guangjian didn't realize Ying Jieyan's mood at the moment, and said inappropriately.
"Zhongfu, although Jiang Yishan has had it, this matter is not only related to the name of the Jiang family's loyalty, but also related to whether the palace marshal can continue to gain a foothold in the court, so His Royal Highness will be thoughtful, and you and I can't say anything. Embarrass His Highness. Seeing that Deng Guang recommended that he wanted to investigate this matter deeply, Ying Jieyan knew that he also wanted to use this to establish his authority, so as to play a role in deterring the generals in the mansion, so he hurriedly hinted.
"What does this matter have to do with the palace marshal?" Deng Guangjian didn't understand the meaning of being strict, and asked rhetorically.
"The palace marshal is a very powerful person, if his subordinate is given military law, he will definitely be ashamed and embarrassed, how can he stay in the court. And Zongbao's entry into the palace was also recommended by the palace marshal, and he could not escape the blame for his guilt. And the palace marshal insisted on resisting the yuan. I have long been hated by those Xiaoxiao, and I will take the opportunity to write a book for impeachment. Ying Jieyan explained.
"The palace marshal is the mainstay of my Great Song Dynasty, and he must not leave the dynasty." Deng Guangjian nodded and said, "Then what should we do?" There can be no impunity! ”
"Alas. This is also what makes people difficult, and I think His Highness will also consider it. But if his sin is unforgivable, none of us can protect him, and His Highness will be difficult to maintain! Ying Jieyan sighed.
"Yes. His Royal Highness has always respected Lord Jiang, and will not care about his face and the safety of the court. Can...... Alas! Deng Guangjian also fell into contradictions. I can't make up my mind for a while......
…………
Fucheng to Baisha Port is only ten miles, and it takes an hour to arrive by car, and a reception banquet is inevitable according to the custom. The banquet is set on the top of the government, this reception banquet is not rich, there is no shortage of silk and bamboo singing and dancing, all the characters in the city who have heads and faces are all present, at the beginning Zhao Yu can still greet each other with everyone, but with the dishes served one by one, the dishes are also extremely exquisite, many of which can only be seen in the tribute, and his face is becoming more and more ugly.
The hardship of Qiongzhou is well known to the world, and the finance and taxation are not enough to support the normal operation of the prefectures and counties, and the imperial court needs to give subsidies. And as the war continued, the imperial court could not make ends meet, and the situation in Qiongzhou could be imagined, but these people still ate and drank and did not know how to be thrifty, so how to let Zhao Yu eat. But when he first arrived here, he was warmly entertained, and it was not good to turn his face on the spot, but this did not prevent him from expressing his anger in his own way.
According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, a few dishes will be served at the beginning of the feast, which is called a plate. But this dish is not for eating, but for seeing, if anyone moves, it is very rude, just like eating Western food with chopsticks now, and being regarded as a native hat. But Zhao Yu not only ate it, but also ate it very well in the surprised eyes of everyone, and ate all the things on the plate before he gave up, and almost lay on the table and licked the plate.
At first, everyone here thought that His Highness was hungry, and no one cared too much about being a child, but they only felt that His Highness was a little greedy. But slowly everyone found out that something was wrong, His Royal Highness was born in the royal family, the rules are bigger than here, and the etiquette is more cumbersome, so it can be said that every move has a saying. Every dish that comes up should be tasted lightly, and His Highness is like a hungry ghost who eats all the things on his plate. After a few dishes, His Royal Highness seemed to be full, and he no longer touched the chopsticks, but just ordered the attendant Xiao Huangmen to seal the dishes and serve them.
It was Zhao and Luo who were the first to discover that something was wrong, first His Royal Highness, and then the officials of the Shuai Mansion who sat with him. This made him a little confused, could it be that the rules of the Shuai Mansion were different from other places, or did he think that he was not attentive to his service? Zhao and Luo were confused, but the people in the Shuai Mansion understood very well, His Royal Highness was sulking that the banquet was too wasteful and sulking! If he doesn't have anything left, how dare everyone stay, isn't it uncomfortable to find. As a result, the cadres in Qiongzhou had one table of dishes left, while the Shuai Mansion only had bright plates that could shine on people's shadows, and each person also took away a food box.
His Royal Highness embarrassed himself so much, Zhao Youluo was very angry at first, of course, he dared not speak out. But this is not a confidential matter, he quickly figured out the reason, and when he heard it, he was sweating profusely, where was His Highness embarrassing himself, and it was clearly that he was embarrassing His Highness. Thinking about the fact that His Royal Highness first arrived today, he was first unhappy because of Jiang Xuan's matter, and now he has violated His Highness's taboo in a daze, and he can't figure out that this Zhizhou is the end......
