Chapter 157: The Northern Expedition

Before Li Zhongyi came to the fore, the forbidden army system of the Great Zhou State had been divided into two parts, the palace front division system with Zhang Yongde as the leader, and the guard division system with Li Chongjin as the head.

Chai Rong installed Du Yu Hou Wang Xianqi, Deputy Commander Shi Shouxin and Deputy Du Yu Hou Murong Yanzhao in front of the palace, in order to contain Zhang Yongde.

In the Guards and Pro-Military Division, Chai Rong used Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy commanders of the Ma Bu Army, and Yuan Yan, the commander of the Bu Army, to monitor Li Chongjin.

Now, Chai Rong has set up a new army in addition to the front of the palace and the pro-army division of the guards, and two relatives are in power, as the most basic force to defend the royal family.

It is conceivable that the forces of the entire Great Zhou military will be divided into three to deter and contain each other.

The emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were good at mixing different theories, but in fact, they were just picking up Chai Rong's teeth. To put it bluntly, it is not surprising that civilian officials sit big, and military power is separated, so as to avoid the dominance of any one party.

Hearing Li Zhongyi say this, Zhao Pu thought carefully for a while, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, or Li Zhongyi saw far, with Chai Rong's temper, he would never tolerate the military power of either side and overshadow the imperial power.

"What the gentleman said is very true." Zhao Pu was convinced, but he was not very convinced in his heart, and he would argue next time he had the opportunity.

"Yuen Long, I am now in a place of suspicion, and after today, I am afraid it will be difficult to come to the door to beg for a drink." Li Zhongyi sighed and said the facts that everyone knew in their hearts.

With the importance of breaking the new army, Chai Rong will definitely stare at Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin's every move, if the relationship between Li Zhongyi and Zhao Kuangyin, the head of the army, is too close. It is difficult to escape the suspicion of kings.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Zhao family asked Li Zhongyi to come to the mansion for a small gathering before taking office.

Everyone understands people. You don't need to break it, you already know it.

"Sir, I hope you get married soon." Zhao Kuangyin said this very well, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing the sound outside the strings, Zhao Kuangyin, who only knows benevolence and righteousness, but does not know conspiracy. Is he qualified to usurp the throne and become Song Taizu?

According to Zhao Kuangyin's hints, Li Zhongyi, the prisoner of the military capital, is sensitive, and the young lady of the Li family. But you can come to visit Mrs. Du without scruples.

Li Zhongyi smiled bitterly and said, "You know in Yuen Long, if the younger brother wants to get married, it will take at least ten years. ”

Although Li Zhongyi set Xiao Zhou to be his wife. But. He has now left Shu and become the enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the courtier of the Great Zhou, God knows what the future will be?

Zhao Pu said quietly: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." The family has the eldest son, and the family is harmonious. ”

Zhao Zeping, what do you mean? Li Zhongyi glanced at Zhao Pu casually, but deliberately pretended to be confused. Not a word.

"Cough, cough ......" Zhao Kuangyin coughed repeatedly. Interrupted Zhao Pu's gibberish.

No matter what the Zhao family thinks, it is absolutely impossible for Li Zhongyi to give up the peerless stunner after Xiao Zhou.

Zhou Jiamin, you are Lao Tzu's wife, whoever dares to rob you, Lao Tzu will kill him!

After the dinner, I drank tea for a while, chatted for a while, and when I was leaving, Li Zhongyi took Zhao Kuangyin's hand and said with a smile: "We will always be brothers." ”

Throwing down this sentence, Li Zhongyi boarded the car and drove away, never looking back.

"Ming Gong, this Li is too slippery, it's hard to see through his mind." Zhao Pu withdrew his gaze from the distant carriage and turned his head to show Zhao Kuangyin his opinion.

Zhao Kuangyin touched his short beard and said, "What's so incomprehensible?" I saw through him at once, as long as I treat him sincerely and don't push him into a hurry, everything is easy to discuss. ”

"Erlang is right, this Li Wuyi is actually loose by nature and doesn't have much ambition, but he has great talent, so you must not force him."

At this time, Mrs. Du's voice suddenly echoed behind everyone.

On the fourth watch of the next day, Li Zhongyi, who was already a member of the fifth rank and stepped into the ranks of permanent staff officers, led Yuan Sui to the court.

Eight Yuan Sui, all riding high-headed and bulging Hequ horses, they carried strong bows, steel knives and quivers at their waists, and guarded Li Zhongyi's carriage.

After Li Zhongyi was promoted to the position of prisoner of the army, he carefully thought about his situation. The Li family is rich, and almost everyone in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty knows about it, if he is too low-key, he will be accused of insinuations and recklessness.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi did not consider the pure ** silk style. However, if you make your belongings too luxurious, it will also cause criticism.

In the Great Zhou Kingdom, which was generally short of horses, Li Zhongyi's Yuan entourage all rode tall Hequ horses, and the meaning of display was obvious.

The Li family of the Dingyan Army, that is, the Tuoba family of the party members, will pay tribute to a batch of fine Hequ horses every year. However, these good horses suitable for short-distance charges, as soon as they arrived in the territory of the Great Zhou, they were coaxed out by the top magnates, and the remaining stallions were also sent to the Feilong Left and Right Courtyards in charge of horse administration, which was rare for the people to see.

Even if there are a small number of meandering horses on the market, the price is so expensive that you can't afford it.

Yesterday, Li Zhongyi's Yuan Sui bought a total of 18 Hequ horses, with an average price of 3,000 yuan each.

If you ask how these river horses came from, hehe, there are policies and countermeasures, have all dynasties really banned smuggling, and it is still legal smuggling?

Li Zhongyi has the legal contract to buy the horse, as well as the signature of the tooth man, the witness of the official officials, and the entire procedure is so legal that it can no longer be legal.

Above board, why be afraid?

During the convoy marching, it was not long before it had to pull aside and give way to the court officials whose official positions were higher than Li Zhongyi.

Li Xiaoqi muttered dissatisfiedly: "We should change to a house, at least closer to the palace." ”

"We're going to Chenqiaoyi to camp soon, why bother to stir up the crowd and make people gossip?" Li Xiaoba had some insight, and spoke out in time to stop Li Xiaoqi from continuing to complain.

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile when he heard the confrontation between the two personal entourage, this is the identity ethics of officialdom.

How many officials to be an official, what kind of carriage to take, how many yuan to follow, the imperial court has regulations. Do not overstep at will.

What's the old saying?

Oh yes, can't be disobeyed. If you want to opt-in, this is very reasonable!

The Chang Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty is generally held in the Wende Palace, and the important ministers' deliberations are held in the Vertical Arch Palace.

Li Zhongyi, who was once again qualified to wear a scarlet robe, still had a very low status, and could only stand in the fourth row near the gate of the Wende Palace.

Before, in the time of Hou Shu. Li Zhongyi stood in the third row. The Great Zhou Dynasty is strong and has more redundant officials, so. Moved another row to the back.

After paying homage to the emperor, the first thing was to announce the formation of a new army in public.

Well. This big Zhou Chang Dynasty talks about serious things. It's much stronger than Hou Shu, who can only retreat!

After Fan Zhen finished speaking, Wang Pu slowly got out of class, stood with his back to the south and north, and shouted: "Where is Li Zhongyi, the prisoner of the army? ”

"The minister is here." Li Zhongyi was originally a little distracted, but suddenly heard Wang Pu calling his name, hurriedly walked out of the back of the queue, and bowed down in front of Chai Rong's throne steps.

"All the ministers of civil and military affairs, bow to greet Your Majesty Xià to make a ......" Wang Pu saw that the officials inside and outside the hall bowed their heads and lowered their waists. He took a copy of the edict from the hand of the celebrant and read it aloud. "On the seventh day of the fourth year of Xiande, the Great Zhou Emperor said: The major affairs of the country of soldiers must not be ignored...... Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to eat and clothe myself...... Bai Jing and Huang Yue, the rewards and punishments are clear...... Specially awarded the Weizhou regiment training envoy, the prisoner of the army to prison Li, and the festival, the system to the festival, Erqi admiration. ”

"Minister Li Zhongyi...... Enshrined ...... Shane. "Li Zhongyi is no longer the rookie of ancient literature, and this kind of official-like edict in the form of four or six is no longer difficult for him.

A salute officer in front of the palace with a sword handed the flag to Wang Pu's hand, Wang Pu dragged out his voice and shouted: "From now on, all the generals under the army will supervise it!" ”

Yes, there was the sound of everyone inhaling in the hall, and all the generals under the army were supervising it, this is not something that can be said casually.

Li Gu glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was kneeling in the hall, and he thought to himself, Your Majesty really attaches importance to this new army of broken captives, and it is just a matter of supervising the festival of the little five products, and it is so grand, it is an odd number!

Li Zhongyi's face was solemn, he bowed down to take the flag and handed it to a soldier who followed him.

At this time, Wang Pu took a dragon head scepter from the hand of the salute official and handed it to Li Zhongyi, "From now on, generals who violate military law can be beheaded by the prison." ”

Li Zhongyi was about to speak, but he heard Chai Rong say coldly: "Li Wuyi, I will give you eight words, and you will take them." ”

Without waiting for the ministers in the palace to react, Chai Rong actually stood up from the high throne, walked down the steps quickly, and handed a piece of white linen paper stained with ink to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi took the white linen paper with both hands, unfolded it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, it was actually the back of the pen through the words, the eight big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing: drive out the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains!

Looking at these eight words, Li Zhongyi, who was light and emotional, couldn't help but moisten his eyes and choked up: "Minister's edict!" ”

"I, even if I die, I will die on the way to the Northern Expedition." Chai Rong was on the ground with a jade shackle, and suddenly roared angrily, causing the ministers to be angry, and they all raised their arms and shouted, "Swear to the Northern Expedition, swear to the Northern Expedition......"

Li Zhongyi, who is very deep in the city, was also excited, and chanted loudly: "Angry at the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait for the young man's head to be white, empty and sad. Bianzhou is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When will the courtiers perish? Driving a long car, stepping through the lack of Helan Mountain, his ambition was hungry and miserable, and he laughed and talked about thirsty Hun blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”

Wang Pu originally wanted to speak out to stop Li Zhongyi's transgression, but this word chanted by Li was too inspiring and unusually uplifting.

So much so that Wang Pu's already open mouth slowly closed again.

"Haha, good, good, good, what a strong ambition hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood!" Chai Rong let out a long roar, and his mind couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

Fan Zhen always paid attention to Chai Rong's feelings, and when he felt that the jade Yue in Chai Rong's hand was waving wantonly in mid-air with the rhythm of Li Zhongyi's words, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This Li Zhongyi is really too smart, he actually seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and completely mobilized Chai Rong's feelings, he is really a talent! (To be continued!)
