Chapter 177: Choosing a Guard

In the seventh year of Chengping, the eighth day of the first month.

The year is not over before the fifteenth, but the officials' holidays have already ended, and the normal commute has begun.

It was on this day that Zhao Zhi, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, convened the ministers of the political hall and hundreds of ministers to discuss the matter, this is a small dynasty scale, at this time in previous years, Zhao Zhi would only convene the ministers of the political hall to get together and discuss the official court meeting on the tenth day of the first month, after all, the first court meeting after the year, but the scale of China and North Korea, as many as hundreds of ministers and officials discussed state affairs, and they were not sloppy, so Zhao Zhi wanted to convene the ministers of the political hall to talk about the right caliber, if they talked well, the people below would not make a fuss.

There are three main points to discuss today.

First, the secretary of the military department, Liu Ji in the service told the old man to return to his hometown, and his position, Zhao Zhi proposed that Li Zhong should take over from Anbei Jiedu.

Second, Zhao Zhi is ready to expand the phase, expanding the current seven ministers of the political hall to nine.

Third, the thirteen states of Longyou have been officially divided into three provinces, and it is necessary to select suitable people to take up the post of Jiedu envoy as soon as possible.

On these three matters, the ministers began to discuss.

Mu Gong brought a cup of ginseng tea, Zhao Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the ministers who were coaxing below.

Liu Ji has written to Zhao Zhi, asking to return to his hometown, Zhao Zhi agreed, but he has not yet issued a document on the six departments and hundreds of officials, forming a formal resolution, except for Liu Ji, the remaining six ministers of the political hall are all here today, even Yang Daosi, who has not seen each other for more than a month, is sitting there at the moment, with his eyes closed, silent.

The emperor sat there, and the ministers below exchanged their heads and whispered non-stop, some of which were unorthodox, but today was not an official court meeting, and Zhao Zhi also wanted to give them a process of digestion, after all, these resolutions, only a few people, knew in advance, the vast majority of people did not know, in this regard, Zhao Zhi is still relatively democratic and cheerful, and hopes to hear as many opinions as possible, even if there are different voices in these opinions, it is okay.

Compared with the discussions of the ministers, the six ministers in the political hall seemed very quiet, all sitting there quietly, some people closed their eyes to recuperate, and some people drank tea silently, with a contemplative look on their faces, and among these, Wang Renzi looked at Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi from time to time, his face was extremely gloomy,

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, everyone was almost done, Zhao Zhi's finger lightly tapped the table, and the shepherd on the side immediately raised his head slightly, and shouted: "The court is important, everyone is quiet." ”

...........................

Early in the morning, Li Xun rushed to the inspection yard with Jiang Daxiong.

Today's court meeting, Li Xun was originally going to participate, and it is very likely that he will talk about his inauguration in Longyou at the court meeting, but last night he drank with Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu, and chatted about his upcoming post in Longyou.

In the previous battle of Longyou, Li Xun, as a logistics general, was assisted by Mao Anfu as a personal guard, and after the war ended, these people returned to their own troops.

In the Great Jin military system, senior generals can have a certain number of personal guards, accompany the army in wartime, and escort them around in idle matters.

There were fifty generals, and a hundred generals and governors, two hundred generals, three hundred governors, and five hundred governors.

There are generally three points in the choice of personal guards, good fighting, loyalty, and strict discipline.

It is not difficult to select hundreds of elite warriors from thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers, it is difficult to get their loyalty, such as Huang Zhi, hundreds of personal guards around him, all of them are fierce and loyal, Huang Zhi retreats, they retreat, Huang Zhi Chong, they also rush together, the two advance and retreat together, live and die together, without these personal guards to assist in the guards, no matter how superb Huang Zhi's martial arts are, he rushed into thousands of troops and horses alone, It is also difficult to survive.

When they arrived at the inspection courtyard, the soldiers guarding the door naturally knew Li Xun, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Meet the general." ”

"Get up!"

Li Xun waved his hand and asked, "Zhu Zhengguo is in the camp?" ”

The soldier replied: "It's unfortunate that the general came, General Zhu just led a battalion of soldiers to inspect the streets, General Yan Yi took leave and did not return, and now only General Liu Bihui is left in the battalion on duty." ”

Li Xun nodded and walked into the camp.

In the battalion, the soldiers who did not have the patrol task were practicing on the playground, and many people knew Li Xun, and when they saw Li Xun, they were all surprised.

"General, you're here."

A Lang general trotted over and bowed to Li Xun.

Li Xun smiled and said, "Come around, where is General Liu now, lead me to see him." ”

General Lang nodded: "General Liu is handling official business in the duty room, general, please come with me." ”

Liu Bishen is very young, less than thirty years old, born in a big family, his family is also famous in the Great Jin, Li Xun and this person have several faces, but there is no friendship, but the patrol camp was established by Li Xun, here, Li Xun's reputation is very prosperous.

"The last general meets the general."

Li Xun walked into the duty room, and Liu Bishen hurriedly got up to greet him, half-kneeling and saluting.

Helping Liu Bishen up, Li Xun smiled and said: "They are all their own brothers, don't be polite, get up quickly." ”

"General Li, I haven't seen you for many days, but the brilliance is still there."

Liu Bishen was polite, and then asked Li Xun to sit down and let someone bring tea.

"The general is here today, but what's the matter?"

Liu Bishen asked out loud.

Li Xun smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I haven't seen the old brothers for a long time, come and see them." ”

"It's a bit unfortunate that the general came, General Zhu just led a battalion out to inspect."

After Wang Fan succeeded Li Xun, he expanded the soldiers of the Patrol Yuan to three battalions of 3,000 soldiers, and wanted to break up the soldiers of the first battalion, equalizing to three battalions, but they were resolutely opposed and resisted by Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi, and were supported by all the soldiers of the entire first battalion. Wang Fan, who has already sat firmly in the command of the Inspection Yuan, will definitely not spare Zhu Zhengguo, Yan Yi and others.

Li Xun sat for a while, drank two sips of tea, and was about to say goodbye and leave, Zhu Zhengguo led people out to inspect, I am afraid that he will not come back until noon dinner, it is useless to wait here, it is better to go back first, and send someone to inform him later, and go to his own home to discuss again.

As soon as Li Xun got up, Liu Bishen suddenly smiled and said: "General Li, you are about to leave, it will be a little difficult for you and me to meet in the future, I will let people prepare some wine and food, you and I will drink two glasses, even if I practice for the general, okay?" ”
