Chapter 196: Camel
Between Wang Jun and Han Tong, Liu Chengyou was treated differently after all. Han Tong was relegated to Xiangyang, and there was still a chance to recover, and he pacified Jinghu on a different day, and he could use Xiangzhou soldiers. And Wang Jun was relegated to Shangzhou, otherwise, his career basically ended here.
If in the future, Wang Jun can reflect on his own mistakes, restrain his anger, and cultivate his self-cultivation, then he can also retire in peace.
In the eyes of people who don't understand the fundamentals and only know the superficial surface, the commander of the dignified guard department just thought that he had offended the emperor and violated the imperial system, so he was belittled and demoted several levels. This still has some effect on the maintenance of the emperor's majesty.
Of course, the reason for Wang Jun's depreciation is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, and the conflict in the Chongzheng Palace is just an introduction after all. For Wang Jun, Liu Chengyou has long been dissatisfied, the earliest can be traced back to the first year of Qianyou's Jifeng Mountain victory, Wang Jun served as the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, and he was indispensable in office, arrogant and difficult to control.
In line with the heart of using talents, he transferred it to the center and entrusted him with important tasks, but his temperament did not change, and the conflicts and disputes with the courtiers were within Liu Chengyou's expectations and expectations, but he was greedy and power-grabbing, domineering and repeatedly overstepping the system, which made Liu Chengyou even more unhappy.
Capture Huainan, take it as the commander, only loosen the reins slightly, like a wild horse, wanton and arrogant. After a little suppression, there was some restraint, and after returning to the dynasty, Liu Chengyou did not remember his mistakes, and still promoted Wang Jun to the position of marshal with his merits, which was the highest military position in the Han Forbidden Army.
But even so, Wang Jun was still not satisfied, consciously unworthy of the reward, and repeatedly complained. Since the forbidden army promoted himself to the old relatives, although many military positions were refuted by the military department, and he was in the middle of the department, suppressing and excluding other generals.
In this way, that's it, this year's system, Wang Jun actually found Zhigongju and Ning, and recommended a group of "virtuous talents" to him. He Ning didn't dare to offend Wang Jun in person, and after agreeing, he immediately handed over to the emperor, and what the result was, it is conceivable that Wang Jun did not take anything he raised.
And Wang Jun made a lot of nonsense in the Chongyuan Hall and despised Wenchen, and there was also a reason. Moreover, what angered Liu Chengyou the most was his sentence "The Son of Heaven reuses civil servants and despises military generals", which is simply a rebellion and touches Liu Chengyou's sensitive place.
To put it more seriously, this is not just a vain discussion and deception, it can simply be described as "disturbing the morale of the army and plotting against the enemy". The anger and dissatisfaction accumulated over the years once erupted, and Liu Chengyou did not directly order Wang Jun to be executed, which can be regarded as restraint.
Of course, there is no motive to protect Hantong, because judging from the situation in the palace, the nature of the plot is even worse when Hantong is moved.
After Liu Chengyou made a derogatory decision, the Xuanwei Division criticized and publicized Wang Jun's domineering and criminal behavior with a deep sense of holy will, and Zhao Shangjiao and Tao Gu each wrote an article and sent it to the military, government, and people, focusing on the depth of Wang Jun's sins and the magnanimity of the Son of Heaven.
"Official, Wang Jun has already left to take office in Shangzhou!" reported to Liu Chengyou was Zhang Dejun.
"Did he say anything?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"Before Wang Jun boarded the car, he said to the send-off, 'The birds are not finished, and the good bow has been hidden; The cunning rabbit is not dead, the lackeys are cooked'. Glancing at the emperor carefully, Zhang Dejun replied.
"It's like what he said!" The hand that turned the seal paused slightly, and Liu Chengyou smiled faintly.
Zhang Dejun said with some dissatisfaction: "This Wang Jun has always been proud of his achievements, but this time he was degraded for his crimes, and he didn't think about his own faults in order to change, but his resentment surged......"
"Who sent Wang Jun?" Liu Chengyou interrupted Zhang Dejun and asked.
Zhang Dejun also realized that he had too much to say, so he hurriedly stopped and replied: "Shen Shihou, the head of the military department, and several of Wang Jun's old subordinates!" ”
"I know, you stand down!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Yes!"
From beginning to end, Liu Chengyou always reviewed the music without even raising his head.
The autumn wind is bleak, the flood waves are surging, on both sides of the Bianhe River, there are dense yellow willows, and in a tent on the riverside, Han Tong sits on the wooden tie, drinking bitter wine. There weren't many people who came to see him off, and they were all sent away by Han Tong.
Wang Jun was dissatisfied with this depreciation, and Han Tong was wronged, but he couldn't do it, after all, he made a mistake, and he only regretted that his mind was not sober and he didn't distinguish the occasion.
"You're not on an errand in the military department, what are you doing here? It's not that you don't have to send me! Han Tong looked at his son Han Hui who came on horseback.
Han Hui is the only son of Han Tong, who has always been loved by his father, a young man in his twenties, although he looks ordinary, but he has a good bearing. Entering the dormitory, he bowed and saluted: "Father travels far away, how can anyone who is the son of man not give it!" ”
"Besides, my son is here to see off his father on the orders of His Majesty!" Han Hui said, and swept a small jar of wine in his hand: "This is the imperial wine given by His Majesty!" ”
Hearing this, Han Tong's eyes flashed with a look, and he was a little excited, and bowed in the direction of the imperial city: "It seems that Your Majesty is still thinking of me!" ”
"Quick, open the envelope, and fill it for the father!" Han Tong poured out the wine in his cup and said to his son.
Han Hui looked very calm and methodical, poured wine for Han Tong, filled himself again, raised his glass and said: "Father is going to Xiangzhou, don't cherish it, my son is in Tokyo, pray day and night, and his body is healthy!" ”
After a drink and continuing to fill it, Han Tong looked at his beloved son, and was calm and generous, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and said: "You work well in the military department, Wei Renpu is the prime minister, his talent is praised by the Manchu Dynasty, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, it is a rare opportunity to be able to work and experience by his side!" ”
"As for me, you don't have to worry. If you make a mistake, you will be depreciated, Xiangzhou is a good place, Xing Guogong is also a good boss, my life should be much better than Wang Jun's! Han Tong laughed.
It is even more sorrowful to use wine to eliminate sorrow, but the emperor's imperial wine seems to have the effect of eliminating boredom, but Han Tong has a hearty face at this time.
"Your Majesty has something to say, ask you to bring it to me?" After another glass of wine, Han Tong asked a little expectantly.
Han Hui shook his head and responded: "Only the provincial palace attendant of the inner chamberlain, with His Majesty's edict and an altar of imperial wine, there is nothing else to say!" ”
Hearing the answer, Han Tong couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Seeing this, Han Hui chuckled and said, "However, although Your Majesty did not say it directly, what he said is all in the wine!" ”
With a frown, Han Tong immediately said: "If you have something to say, don't learn from those rotten Confucians, hide them, and pretend to be profound!" ”
Faced with his father's lesson, Han Hui was a little helpless, and said with his hands: "My father is Your Majesty's old general, and I know my father's temperament from the minister of the dragon. In my opinion, His Majesty demoted you to Xiangzhou this time, one of which is to ask about the crime, and to be in the court of ceremonies, to police civil and military, and to eliminate latecomers; second, it is to let my father reflect and improve in Xiangzhou; Third, in the future, the imperial court will take Jinghu, and my father is in Xiangzhou, so the imperial court will not use the reason, as long as he fights and makes meritorious contributions, he will have the day to return to Beijing. ”
Hearing Aiko say this, Han Tong's eyes became brighter and brighter, his sadness completely dissipated, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense. Sweeping towards Han Hui, Han Tong couldn't help but say: "My son is so smart and smart, why didn't he get a top prize?" ”
"How easy is it to be the champion?" Han Hui looked very stunned and said: "Look at the Hanoi Lu Lang, the scholars of the Ministry of Rites and Hanlin are all praised, but the winner is still Dong Lang." The son is not good at poetry, only a little smart, and can be a jinshi, maybe they all rely on his father's grace! ”
"It doesn't matter! It's good to know how to get things done! Han Tong seemed to be more open-minded, and said: "Left and right, Your Majesty also likes a practical talent." can only chant poems, not govern the government, control the people, and pawn the army, what is the use! ”
"Father is right!" Han Hui echoed lightly.
"Come, accompany me to drink this jar of wine, and I'll be on my way!"
"Father, please!" Han Hui continued to pour wine for Han Tong.
Before he could, Han Tong got into the car with a drunken face, looked back at Kaifeng City, and once again told Han Hui, turned around and got into the car.
Han Tong went to Xiangzhou, three carriages, carrying concubines and fine soft, five subordinates, and several servants, and went south.
On the left side of the road, Han Hui bowed and bowed, and when he went away, he straightened up, got on the horse and returned to the city, always calm.
The son of Han Tong, he has wisdom and strategy, and is known as "Camel".
