Section 83: Mysterious cause and effect
Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, Li Di, Wu Min and other traitors and ministers realized the benefits, which was in line with Li Bangyan, and praised Zhao Gonglian for his loyalty and ability, and praised Daojun's wisdom and martial arts.
Cai Jing felt that this would make Zhao Gonglian more and more difficult to govern, but seeing that Daojun had actually made up his mind, and Zhao Gonglian was not by the emperor's side but his weight in the hearts of the official family became heavier, he couldn't help but sigh: If you ask who in the world knows Daojun best, it must be Zhao Gonglian. This son was born a famous general and prime minister, and his means are too subtle. The prodigy of that year's wings were completely hard and couldn't be stopped.
Thinking about it again, I am too old, and there is no successor. Zhao Gonglian has been away for several years and has not returned, which does not affect his authority in the center at all, and when he can convince the public when he is the prime minister in the future, everything is suitable and transferred back, and no one in his family can compete with him for that position anyway. In that case, what is he doing in his way? Do you make enemies for the wicked and leave the seeds of hatred and annihilation for future generations?
He is very clear that he is old-eyed, Zhao Gonglian is magnificent, but he is not generous to the enemy at all.
Looking at the fate of those officials who got him, you will know that this person will take revenge if he has revenge, and he will be ruthless.
This is really an all-round genius who can be merciful and fierce.
Whoever has such a mortal enemy will definitely have trouble sleeping, and I am afraid that the end will not be good.
The old traitor Cai repeatedly weighed the pros and cons and finally said: Wencheng Hou is useful, and the official family selects talents and teaches them well.
Daojun was overjoyed, and Zhao Gonglian was allowed to play, and appointed Han Zong as the chief general of the Qianning Army, Lei Yanxing as the chief general of the Xin'an Army, and Qishi also transferred Lanzhou as a deputy general to strengthen the guidance of actual combat, and strictly ordered the Cangbei departments to step up the reorganization of the army, just as Zhao Gonglian said in the compromise. Seeing that the autumn wind is rising again, it is the time for Liao Kou to commit the border again. In wartime, all the troops should cooperate with Marquis Wen Cheng in time to repel the Liao invaders. (In order to make up for the losses caused by the battle with the Jin army and the repeated plundering of the Cangzhao army, the Liao State strengthened the grass valley on the border of the Great Song Dynasty)
This actually divided the wartime control of the Hejian Province over these ministries.
Da Song is so strange.
The residence of the Shuai Division of Hebei East Road is the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing. He commanded the prefectures of Lan, Cang, Hebei, Ying, Bo, Di, Mo, Xiong, Ba, De, Bin, and En, as well as the four armies of Qianning, Yongjing, Baoding, and Xin'an.
Among them, Mo, Xiong, and Ba were actually controlled by the Liao State, and the two armies of Yongjing and Baoding were just empty names.
However, the imperial court also set up the prefect of Hejian Mansion as the inexplicable Gaoyangguan Road Observation Envoy, commanding the Ying, Cang and other armies, and actually divided the military power of the Daimyo Mansion, and now let Zhao Gonglian divide the military power of Gaoyangguan Road again.
Obviously, the founding of the Great Song Dynasty was a clever robbery, and the way was not right, for fear that the generals would take the same path as their ancestors and take away their country. This is true not only in the administrative system, but also in the military system, which requires unified orders and prompt responses.
This pathology has formed a genetic gene, which has penetrated into the bone marrow of generations of Song emperors, regardless of the actual situation and not afraid of the wartime crises and disasters hidden in it.
Daojun transferred Zhao Gonglian out of his hometown, no longer suspicious, but still habitually arranged a noble son, the grandson of the late Kaiping King Gao Huaide's family, Gao Jiguang, as the first deputy general of Lanzhou, and asked Liang Shicheng to arrange a capable eunuch to be the supervisor of the army. The two continued to contain and monitor Zhao Gonglian.
Zhao Gonglian saw the thoughts of Daojun and the traitors in the court, easily achieved his goal, and left immediately after the handover with Zheng Juzhong, a good dog friend of Daojun who came to take over and wanted to enjoy the success of Cangzhou.
He Guan, Han Zong, and Lei Yanxing got out of the bottomless quagmire of the Western Army. Leap to become a landlord who has the final say, and finally can show his strength, all of them are excited and grateful, and rushed to Lanzhou to pay a special visit before going to the post to thank Zhao Gonglian for his righteous words and help.
The accompanying eunuchs didn't care. Worked tirelessly and followed.
It's ridiculous to say.
Certain suave men are known as Friends of Women. Zhao Gonglian is a friend of the eunuchs, at least in the hearts of the majority of eunuchs who have no contact and no friendship.
Master Hou is our own people. It is the long-term backer of our relatives, and it is difficult to find the Hou Ye. The bunnies should also know what to do. These words first came out of the mouth of the big villain Liang Shicheng.
Zhao Gonglian initially pretended not to discriminate against this special ethnic group for the purpose, but he heard his younger brother say that this was a victim of a group of perverted feudal brutality, and most of them were desolate and poor people, and the new dynasty would cut off this evil habit in the future. Zhao Gonglian read the books of sages, was educated by the compassionate family style and also agreed with his younger brother, with this mentality, over time, he received a lot of help and support from eunuchs from all walks of life, both openly and secretly, and recognized the misery and helplessness of these people and a little hope, so he no longer cared about distorted mentality and behavior, and really no longer discriminated against this ethnic group.
He didn't know how much convenience these small changes and some good deeds would bring to the great cause of rebellion.
In the same way, the last eunuchs in this land did not expect to get good results from this. And they would have been killed and tortured to death like chickens and dogs in the invasion of the Jin soldiers, and starved to death in the escape
The Buddha said that cause and effect, what you sow, what you reap, is not without philosophy.
Liang Shicheng sent to spy on Zhao Gonglian was naturally his cronies, but he deliberately attached a letter with only one sentence on it: Old acquaintance, make sure you use it well.
Zhao Gonglian smiled when he saw the new eunuch.
This guy is riding on a horse and holding a shelf, and I am a prisoner, and I am a cow. Forced look, but as soon as he entered the mansion, there was no outsider, and he immediately looked flattering, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and hug his thighs and kneel and lick them, how could he have the majesty and domineering of the prison army? What role can it play in containing surveillance?
It's no wonder that this prison army is spineless.
It is ridiculous that unseeded people who live for the sake of living blindly emphasize backbone.
Who is it, when he first entered the palace, he was almost beaten to death by the eunuch in charge because of a trivial matter, but he was saved by Zhao Gonglian with a smile, and he was merged into Liang Shicheng's eyes and has been relied on since then, and the miserable relatives outside the palace have been soft-hearted and handed over to the housekeeper to take care of, the widowed mother has to be raised, the younger brother and sister have to grow up and marry (marry) a good family, and now he can do things in the business branch of the Zhao family, and he will behave like him.
For a moment, Zhao Gonglian was full of emotion about cause and effect, and secretly thought, I don't know if Liang Shicheng's performance in this life is still not so damn in the eyes of his younger brother.
And Gao Jiguang, another restraining person, saw Zhao Gonglian, working together for the first time, and said the officialdom as usual, but he did not hide his admiration and worship. It's completely different from Shi Fu Lian's mentality.
Zhao Gonglian has been completely trained in officialdom, and he can calmly deal with all kinds of complicated situations without Wen Huanzhang's hints and guidance by his side. The policy of applying for transfer was developed by himself in his own consideration.
After perceiving Gao Jiguang's positive attitude. Knowing that this person's blood is not cold, he will naturally have more contact and care. In private, he chatted casually and casually asked, "Do you have a child named Gao Pet?" ”
Gao Jiguang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is far away at the border and knows that my little nephew is stubborn? ”
Zhao Gonglian smiled.
I know a fart.
I don't know how many major events are waiting for him to judge and plan the ruling, how can he have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of other people's little children, just because he has the list given by his younger brother in his hand, saying that the Gao family may have such a rare tiger general figure, he has a good brain, so he remembered to mention the topic at this moment.
It seems that the Gao family can win over, and the tiger will have to get it. Just like the younger brother said, talents have to start from the baby, and the reserve force of Cangzhao's career must be deliberately cultivated now.
All the opportunities with the Gao family start with the stubborn doll Gao Pet.
So Zhao Gonglian said meaningfully: "Jiguang, your name is so good." ”
Tong Guan read it with relish with a letter in his hand, which was an agreement between Zhao Gonglian and him.
The public has great ambitions, unifying the Western Army to resist summer thieves, the saint knows the public labor, and the honest knows the public suffering. I have known each other for more than ten years, and I feel emotional.
Now the decline of the summer thief is difficult for a while. Only Yanyun's great achievements can wait for the opportunity to seek it.
Lian in the north to practice elite soldiers to strengthen the army, and when the time comes, the army of the Northern Expedition, Lian with the command of the vanguard to attack the city and pull out the village like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. I'm leading by example. The Western Army's Northern Expedition must not be willing to be honest and specialize in the front, and must not be restrained and dragged down by selfish distractions, and cannot achieve great achievements and be famous for eternity.
Tong Guan slapped his thigh and laughed: "A good one must be unwilling, must not be." Only the public in the world knows my heart, and I know my difficulties. ”
immediately waved his pen and replied: "The public is honest and honest." Tong will live up to the agreement. ”
It's an intimate and egalitarian tone.
Zhao Gonglian was not a small scholar in the countryside who was difficult to enter his door back then. With today's third-grade title, the position of a bachelor, and the status of a fourth-grade feudal official. In addition, he is far younger than Tong Guan and has a bright future, both for the present and for the long-term family. are all worthy of the arrogant Tong Guan to put down the shelf and treat them equally.
After getting rid of Tong Guan and the imperial court, and winning over, he actually half subdued several military allies in the north of Cangzhou, and Zhao Gonglian began to settle down and drastically rectify the military and political affairs of Cangzhou.
There is a ruthless and strong precedent for rectifying Cangzhou, and no one in the military and political departments of Cangzhou dares to blow up the stab.
Zhao Gonglian did a good job and was happy, and a new challenge stimulated his passion and drove him up.
He didn't know that he applied for transfer in time for various reasons, and was willing to be stationed at the bitter cold and dangerous border pass, and with the help of the emperor's hand, he adjusted and strengthened the security of Cangbei in disguise, bringing good prospects to the people who have suffered from border troubles for a long time.
In history, there was a terrible flood in Cangzhou at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is said that Ying, Canghe decided, Cangzhou City is not lost in three editions, and more than one million people died.
Millions of people died.
In history, the world did not have the prosperity and vast population of Cangzhou brought by Cangzhao, and how many people were there in the five counties of Cangzhou?
The people of the countryside are almost dead.
The traverser Zhao Yue knew about this disaster, but he still didn't remember it, what if he remembered it?
History has always adopted the Spring and Autumn penmanship method for science and technology and major events that are not conducive to the image of the ruling class, and has even spared no pen and ink on paper to record useless corrupt speeches, deeds, and gossip. Who knows what the reason is? Where is the break? When exactly will it break?
Unless it is really a god, there is no way to prevent this disaster from happening.
Zhao Gonglian is gone. No matter how big the disaster in Cangzhou is, no matter how big the blame is, it can't be attributed to him.
Whether it is the imperial court or the people, people will only say that Zheng Juzhong, who took over from Zhizhou, is blessed and immoral, and the disaster from heaven warns and punishes him, which has caused all the people of Cangzhou to suffer this catastrophe.
No matter how much Zheng Juzhong wins the emperor's will, he will be unlucky.
Before the people's anger and grievances are settled, he will at least not have to do it for a while.
If this is replaced by Zhao Gonglian, but the loss of reputation and time cannot be afforded, the worst thing is that under the deliberate spread of rumors by people with ill intentions, Zhao Gonglian's image is likely to be reversed because of this.
There are two eyes silently watching the world. (To be continued......)
