Chapter 242: Chen Ling admits defeat
、、、、、、、、、、
Yuan Liang's words suddenly made Chen Ling wake up like a dream. Although Pei Yun is also one of the Xiangguo, he only knows how to slip around and pat horses, and he echoes his cousin Pei Ju in everything. But Yuming is a martial artist, with great achievements and quick wit, and even the saint praises his ability. Now that Pei Ju is here, he can't take Yuming as well. Once Pei Ju passes away, when no one is available, the Holy Ten will promote the Guanlongmen Valve to continue to serve as the prime minister, and the future of the Yu Valve is really hard to say.
As the saying goes, a tree falls and falls. As soon as Pei Ju dies, Pei Dang will inevitably disappear, this year, there are already a lot of grasslands at the head of the wall, and a large number of people will definitely throw themselves into the Guanlongmen valve again. And Pei Yun's ability is not as good as Yu Ming, without Pei Ju's suppression, Yu Ming will inevitably emerge, and he is already a soldier before he is twenty years old. If you go up further, worship the prime minister and be crowned the king, and it is also very possible to be at the top of the courtiers.
Chen Ling immediately realized that he really couldn't hang himself from Pei Ju's tree.
At this time, Yuan Liang said with deep meaning: "This Liaodong is just a bitter cold land outside the Saiwai where birds do not lay eggs, although the place is large, but the population is sparse, and the limited population is mostly Goryeo, Ji, Silla and the commoners of the grasslands. From time to time, various tribes of the steppe came to raid. Anyway, adults should stay for two years and make a transition. Why bother with those old subordinates of Yuming? In my opinion, it is better to return the personnel, financial, military and other rights to Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Mrs. Red Sleeves, Cheng Yanjin and others. Everyone has their own place, and I believe they will not be embarrassed by the adults again. All difficulties will be solved! ”
After Chen Ling heard this, he was finally a little moved, but he was still a little worried: "But if the imperial court and Pei Xiang send someone to inspect, what should I do?" ”
Yuan Liang said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Khitans came to attack, and the adults led the army to meet the enemy, and they turned the tide and defeated the Khitan thieves. And during the governance of Liaodong, he treated his surname well, compensated the exile, rewarded industry and commerce, and fulfilled his pastoral responsibility, so that the surname under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment, and his political achievements were outstanding. The Imperial Court will only reward the lord with promotion. And Pei Xiang would think that the general was talented, and in a short period of time, he would make the people of Liaodong return to their hearts and eliminate the influence of Yuming. The reuse of generals will also be promoted. Why are adults afraid? ”
Chen Ling also understood in his heart at this time, Yuan Liang was afraid that he had already taken refuge in Yuming, someone must have taught him to say this, he knew Yuan Liang so well, didn't he know how much ink was in his old belly?
But it doesn't matter anymore. It is urgent to find a way to deal with the immediate crisis as soon as possible. He finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Yuan Liang, please go and inform Lord Du, Lord Wei and Mrs. Red Sleeves, I, Chen Ling, have been ill for a long time, there are many things in Liaodong, and my body has been overwhelmed, and now I will return the financial power to Lord Wei, and the local administration can be decided by Lord Du, and the affairs of the army can be handled by General Cheng, General Qin, and General Wei Chi. But they had to make sure that there was no shortage of money and food to be handed over to the court! ”
The Liaodong generals standing in front of Chen Ling said solemnly: "Obey Lord Chen's order!" ”
However, although the expressions on their faces were solemn, the corners of everyone's mouths were smiling. They knew that this battle had been won again, and after Chen Ling suffered this big loss, he should not dare to go against them, Yuming's old subordinates.
……
When the crisis in Liaodong was gradually eliminated, Yuming had just passed through Zhuojun and arrived in Beiping City. Here, he met with Luo Yi and Luo Cheng's father, and after the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time, Luo Cheng made a fuss about finding Yu Ming to learn marksmanship and archery.
But at this time, Yu Ming was already a master who had entered the period of divine transformation, and his archery skills had also been practiced to the point that he could shoot sharp arrows at the same time, even if Luo Yi came, he might not be his opponent, let alone Luo Cheng.
In the dumbfounded gaze of the generals of Luofu, Yu Mingfang handed over the horse lance to the soldiers waiting next to him. And the young player who fell in front of him was Luo Cheng, who had just been defeated by him.
"General Yu, you're getting better and better! Whether it's martial arts or official career, it's beyond my reach! Luo Cheng got up from the ground with a dejected look and said.
Recalling that when he met Yuming a few years ago, he was already a captain, and Yuming was only the captain. But now, Yuming has become the marshal of the Liaodong camp, the general of Zuo Lingwei, and the marquis of Liaodong, which has made him only look up.
"General Luo, just seeing my current scenery, you have never experienced the crisis I have experienced, I can say that I have been struggling between life and death in the past few years, maybe one day I will die in Huangquan!" Yu Ming sighed. In the past few years, he has experienced expeditions to Goryeo, envoys to the Turks, northern expeditions to the steppes, and southward attacks against Ji and Silla, and his fate has hung by a thread several times.
Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Yu Ming about his experience in the past few years, but he heard a rooster-like voice sound: "Lord Yu is so good at kung fu!" Everyone in the Eastern Capital said that the Liaodong Army was the first male division of our Great Sui. When I saw it today, it was true. With such a brave general, such an elite division can be trained. ”
Yu Ming and Luo Cheng turned their heads to look, only to see Yue Zeng Province swaggering over.
The two hurriedly shook their hands and said, "Father-in-law is good!" ”
Yue Zengxing nodded to Luo Cheng, which was regarded as a return salute, and then said to Yu Ming with a smile: "General Yu, it seems that you are really an idle person!" Just stay in Beiping for a day, and have a competition with General Luo...... No, the Holy One also knows your temperament, that's why he asked you to go to the original overseer! ”
"Going to the original overseer?" Yu Ming was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes! In the year of Daye, the saint had rebuilt the Jinyang Palace, but he was not satisfied with the palace built. And this time, after learning that Liaodong was pacified, the saint Longyan Dayue ordered Li Yuan to rebuild Jinyang Palace in Jinyang County. But Li Yuan's progress has been slow, which makes the Holy Lord very annoyed! Therefore, after he learned that General Yu had returned to the Central Plains from Liaodong, he ordered someone to send a secret decree to ask you to go to Yuan to supervise the construction of Jinyang Palace first. Yue Zeng smiled with a smile. He immediately took out a rolled-up secret decree from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Ming.
Yu Ming took a look, only to see that the secret decree appointed himself as the minister of the Qincha, and together with Li Yuan, tried his best to find a way to complete the construction of Jinyang Palace within five months with quality and quantity, during which the required people were transferred from the local area, and if the materials were not enough locally, they needed to report to the household department in time. At the end, he said that as long as he can guarantee the completion of the project, he can do it cheaply.
"I actually took on such a drudgery again, and I still have to deal with Li Yuan's old fox......" Yu Ming couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness. He took the holy decree and sneered: "Now that I have arrived in Beiping, I see that it is not easy to go back to the Eastern Capital to see my family, and I have been involved in this matter again." ”
Yue Zengxing said with a smile on his face: "General Yu doesn't have to worry, the Holy Lord's arrangement shows that he trusts the general." The officials who were in charge of the construction of the Eastern Capital, the Great Wall and the Grand Canal were all promoted later, and Yang Su was even the pinnacle of the people. In the past, the Holy Lords had assigned the responsibility of the elders and the honorable ministers for such work. And General Yu was able to serve as the minister of the Qin Mission at such a young age, but it was unprecedented. ”
After that, he pointed to the dozens of officials in black behind him and said, "Lord Yu, these officials are sent by the Criminal Department, and they also have a set of skills in handling cases. If there are local officials secretly obstructing the construction of Jinyang Palace, they can be arrested and punished immediately! ”
After Yu Ming heard this, he looked at these officials, and saw that all of them were puffed up high, strong, and sharp-eyed, and they were all shrewd people, and they were all veterans of handling cases. And one of the captains of the government is an official. He is about ten years old, and he is born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he has a bit of Confucian style.
"I don't know who this is......" Yuming asked curiously.
At this time, the official hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Yu, the lower official is the record of the Criminal Department, the surname is Xuanling, this time we will go to the original together, if there is anything, the lord just commands!" ”
"What? Fang Xuanling? After Yu Ming heard this, he was also stunned for a moment.
He never expected that he would meet Fang Xuanling here.
This Fang Xuanling is in history, but he is a famous virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was born in the family of the eunuch, his great-grandfather Fang Yi, served as the general of Zhenyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the county guard of Song An, and the hereditary strong martial artist.
Grandfather Fang Xiong, word, Shi Brown State master book.
Father Fang Yanqian, good, familiar with the "Five Classics", rich in eloquence, was a Shandong scholar in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Fang Xuanling has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has inherited his father's legacy. Since childhood, he has been intelligent, good at poetry, well-read scriptures and history, proficient in Confucian scriptures, and has a good hand of calligraphy from his father. At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to the rank of Jinshi in Honshu, and was successively awarded the rank of Lieutenant of the Feather Cavalry and the Lieutenant of Yucheng.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Li Yuan led his troops into the customs, and Fang Xuanling threw Li Shimin in Weibei, and repeatedly went out from him, participated in the strategy, managed the secretary, and served as the secretary of the Qin Palace.
In order to repay Li Shimin's kindness, Fang Xuanling did his best to plan military and political affairs. Every time he defeated a separatist force, everyone in the army went all out to seek treasures and foreign objects, and only Fang Xuanling gathered talents first, placed people who were rich in strategy and brave and good at fighting in his shogunate, and privately became friends with them to serve Li Shimin together.
After defeating Wang Shichong, Xuan Ling thought that Zhang Liang was "suave and resourceful", so he recommended it to Li Shimin to serve as the general of the Qin Palace, "entrusted with his heart". Others, such as Xue Shu, who is talented and quick-witted, Li Daliang, who has "Wang Ling, Zhou Bojie, can rely on big things", and Du Ruhui, who is "smart and knowledgeable, Wang Zuozhicai", were all reused by Li Shimin after being recommended by Fang Xuanling, and they were all ranked as prime ministers.
In the ninth year of Wude, he participated in the Xuanwumen Change, and Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, and Hou Junji were the first in the five people. After Tang Zong Li Shimin ascended the throne, Fang Xuanling was the Zhongshu Order; In February of the year of Zhenguan, he shot for the left servant of Shangshu; Zhenguan was awarded the title of Liang Guogong in the eleventh year; In July of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he was in charge of the government and still managed the government. On the twenty-fourth day of July in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling died of illness.
Because Fang Xuanling is good at scheming, and Du Ruhui is decisive, he is called "Fang Xuanling". Later generations took him and Du Ruhui as models of good looks, and they were collectively called "Fang and Du". The evaluation of Fang in the biography of "New Tang Dynasty Book" is "Xuan Ling is a country, diligent and strong at night, and he does not want to lose anything." There is no jealousy, smell the goodness of others, if you have it. Mingda is governed, and the edge is decorated with elegance, and the law is punished, and the order is lenient. Don't look at others with your own strengths, don't ask for preparation, even if you are humble, you have to do your best. or if they are allowed to do something, they will be guilty of sin, and they will be afraid, and they will be regarded as if they were nothing."
