Chapter 80: General Yulin Zhonglang
Liu Hong chuckled lightly, and said with a smile, "Excuse me, since this matter has ended, from now on, everyone will not need to mention it again, the Long clan will also be my Han people from now on!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
If someone told Yuan Kui before that Long Jun would easily pass the test, he would definitely scold that person for being a fool, on the contrary, who is saying that Long Jun is young and ignorant after today, then he must also scold that person for being a fool, grasp the rhythm of questioning, find out the emperor's mind, and be a little fox in officialdom!
From the beginning of the trial, everyone was led by Long Jun's nose, and all the rhythm of the questioning, including the mind of the Spirit Emperor, was within Long Jun's control, it can be said that since Long Jun received the prompt from the Ten Standing Attendants, he was ready to lock the question on his own identity, not on his own power!
As for why Liu Yu mentioned Chen Qi, it was nothing more than to draw out what had happened in Guangling, to collect money and recruit soldiers, and even if Long Jun had a reason, he would not be able to explain that he had started recruiting private soldiers before the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
As Long Jun's money ally, Zhang Rang knew that it was time for him to perform, so he immediately walked out and saluted Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, since Long Jun's identity as the remnant of Western Chu is exempt, then his merits in Jizhou should also be rewarded, so that it seems that my emperor and the emperor's grace is mighty!" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Hong thought deeply of Zhang Rang's words, but remembering the official position he was going to give Long Jun before, he was a little reluctant to let Long Jun go out of Beijing now, so he asked in a deep voice, "Father, what official position do you think the widow should give Long Jun?" ”
"Your Majesty, Long Jun was born in the army, and the minister thought that it would be enough to give Long Jun a military general official position in Beijing!" has been by Liu Hong's side for so many years, doesn't Zhang Rang know his master's thoughts? It's definitely impossible to release it out, not to mention that his identity has just been resolved, he can't say anything at Long Jun's age, he said this completely according to Liu Hong's meaning!
With a deep groan, Liu Hong rushed down and shouted, "The general is here?" ”
I saw a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure, got up and walked up to salute and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here!" ”
Thinking about the evaluation of Empress Dowager He in history, coupled with the image of He Xian two days ago, Long Jun thought to himself how could this General He have to be a beautiful man, right? But now this image of He Jin completely subverted his thinking, his height is less than one meter six, his weight seems to be one hundred and sixteen, the goldfish eye eagle hooked nose and the unique big face plate, the whole Yamamoto fifty-six!
Long Jun was still lining up He Jin's appearance here, and Liu Hong had already spoken, "General, is there a position in the Northern Army that is suitable for Long Jun now?" ”
Now that the force to which Long Jun belongs has not yet been decided, of course He Jin does not want outsiders to come to the Northern Army to get a piece of the pie, so he said without thinking, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no position in the old minister's army suitable for General Long Xiao for the time being!" ”
Although I refuse you to join my Northern Army, but I am polite, I am a big general who gives you the face of a boy to call you a general, how can you not be satisfied? I have to say that although He Jin has a bad background, this brain can still play some clever tricks!
After listening to this, Yuan Kui on the side turned very ugly, and hurriedly gave He Jin a look and signaled He Jin to change his words, but He Jin thought that Yuan Kui had always been with her, and he didn't look at Yuan Kui at all!
After listening to this, the Ling Emperor at the top sneered in his heart, as an emperor, he still has a bit of an imperial mind, He Jin is simply prevaricating, and he doesn't want outsiders to reach into the Northern Army. If He Jin agreed at the beginning, Liu Hong might still think that Long Jun was a member of He Jin's party, and now that he refused, doesn't that prove that Long Jun has nothing to do with the Shi clan? You can use it yourself with confidence.
Then Liu Hong frowned and continued: "Father, then do you think there are those military generals in Beijing who are suitable for Long Jun's official position?" ”
Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong ask himself, but he didn't react for a while, he had already made it clear just now, the official position of a military general in Beijing is enough! Why do you still ask? After a deep groan, Zhang Rang thought that Liu Hong was asking Long Jun for a big official, so he replied uncertainly, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhijinwu?" ”
As soon as Zhang Rang's words fell, Yuan Kui, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately got up and shouted, "Your Majesty, Zhang Changshi, this is completely nonsense!" ”
Raising his eyebrows, Liu Hong asked with a smile, "What's the old lady, do you have any suggestions?" ”
With both hands, Yuan Kui said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, Zhang Rang's suggestion is completely nonsense, Zhijinwu is comparable to Jiuqing, a twelve-year-old boy is in charge of the security of the entire capital!" Let's not talk about whether he has the ability or not, he can't convince the public at his level! ”
Hearing Yuan Kui talk about his grade, Long Jun pursed his lips and smiled lightly, not saying much, he believed that Zhang Rang and the others would deal with him.
Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Kui finished speaking, Zhang Rang immediately snorted coldly, "In ancient times, there were 12 Ganluo as prime ministers, and Ganluo at that time was now the grade of General Long Xiao, he can be the prime minister, why can't General Long Xiao be a little Zhijinwu?" ”
"Hmph, Ganluo won sixteen cities for King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, although General Long Xiao has a lot of credit, but he can't compare to this, right?"
Zhao Zhong, who was standing on Liu Hong's right, snorted coldly at this time and said, "Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits were wiped out because of Zhang Jiao's death, let's just say that General Long saved Qingzhou, and there are more than sixteen cities in Qingzhou?" What does Master Taifu think? ”
"Zhao Zhong, you are using strong words, Qingzhou is already under the rule of my Han, how can the bandits easily occupy it?"
"Then how did Master Taifu know that the bandits could not occupy it? Tian Kaiqi was recommended by your Yuan family, right? Qingzhou is full of bandits, people's livelihood is withering, don't you know when you are Your Majesty? ”
Seeing that the other party began to attack the local officials, He Jin, as the leader of the Shi clan, of course wanted to fight back, and then said loudly, "Taifu recommended Tian Kai because the Tian family is from the Qingzhou clan and is helpful to the local people's livelihood. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rang's eyes were cold and asked, "What do you mean by this, General?" What does it have to do with the rise of banditry and the withering of people's livelihood? Shall I wait for the ruling side? ”
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more deviated, the Spirit Emperor, who had endured it for a long time, shouted angrily, "Shut up for me, what kind of system!" I'm letting you discuss Long Jun's reward, not for you to attack each other here! ”
Seeing this, the four of them hurriedly saluted and said in a trembling voice: "The ministers are guilty, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”
With a cold snort, Liu Hong said slowly with an angry face, "Okay, if you want to be guilty, you should have been sent to heaven and prison!" Now I ask you, can Long Jun serve as the ruling Jinwu? ”
"The ministers think it's okay (can't)!"
Seeing that it was still two against two, and the two sides did not give in to each other, Liu Hong looked at the rest of the courtiers with a gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you think?" ”
Liu Yu, who had already died, saw that Emperor Ling gave him the opportunity to speak, how could he let it go? Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The old minister seconded the Taifu's suggestion!" ”
"The ministers seconded it!"
In fact, Long Jun didn't want to be a Jinwu, a department similar to the city management, where could he look at it? Now all the courtiers refused to give him the stairs, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can you listen to the villain?" ”
Long Jun spoke, of course Liu Hong would not object, even the ministers also looked at Long Jun, cleared their throats, Long Jun said with a righteous face, "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan is reasonable, the villain's grade is indeed too young, and the status of the ruling Jinwu is comparable to Jiuqing, how can the villain He De take on such a heavy responsibility?" If the villain does not do well in the future, won't he slap His Majesty in the face? ”
Liu Yu originally thought that Long Jun was asking for an official position, but who knew that this kid was still patting on the back, not only Liu Hong, but even Yuan Kui was also brought along, as if he was going to go dark on this road. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Liu Yu's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be able to wring out water!
On the contrary, Yuan Kui glanced at Long Jun with a happy face, and Emperor Ling looked even more relieved and warm, as if he had never been angry before, so he asked softly, "Then Xiao Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Aiqing had come out, Long Jun was overjoyed, but his face was still as usual, looking like he was thinking about Liu Hong, and he said, "After the minister's rebellion, he has won His Majesty's appreciation now, and the minister has nothing to repay, he just wants to share his worries for His Majesty and protect His Majesty's safety, and please agree with Your Majesty!" ”
"Keeping the widow safe?" Pinching his beard, Liu Hong groaned and asked He Jin, "General, you are now concurrently serving as Lang Zhongling, and the widow asks you if there is a main general in the Yulin Army?" ”
The chief general of the Yulin Army? This Yulin Army has long existed in name only, and now it is doing the work of guarding the Imperial City and doing the honor guard, not to mention that the entire Beiya guarding the Imperial City is near the Imperial City, and the Yulin Army plays a very small role, how can any general be willing to enter the Yulin Army?
Now His Majesty asked the chief general of the Yulin Army a question, didn't that mean that he wanted to appoint Long Jun here? It just so happened that he didn't want that group of waste soldiers, anyway, as long as Long Jun didn't enter the Northern Army to divide power, so He Jin said with a smile, "Back to Your Majesty, the Yulin Army really doesn't have a main general!" ”
Hearing that the Yulin Army did not have a main general, Liu Hong's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he asked Long Jun, "Are you willing to serve in the Yulin Army?" ”
Feather Forest Army? Of course Long Jun knows what these are, nine thousand men and horses, belonging to two batches, one group of guards in the palace city, one group of honor guards, the combat power is extremely weak, it can be said that among the entire Beiya army, this Yulin Army is not loved by grandma and uncle, no one can look down on it, and it is still under the jurisdiction of He Jin.
After pondering for a few seconds, Long Jun clenched his fists and responded, "Xiao Chen is willing to go!" ”
Seeing that Long Jun agreed to join the Yulin Army, Liu Hong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "That widow will make you the general of the Yulin Zhonglang and take charge of the Yulin Army!" ”
What Habayashi Nakarou General? At this moment, don't say that Long Jun is a little blind, even He Jin, Yuan Kui and others are directly dumbfounded, Yulin Zhonglang will rank two thousand stones, which is not much lower than Jiuqing, and Yulin Zhonglang will be directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor since the beginning of the fight against Guangwu, originally He Jin They thought that Emperor Ling gave him the position of a Yulin military captain, so it was still under the jurisdiction of He Jin, but now it is empty!
Taking everyone's looks into his eyes, Liu Hong looked at Long Jun and said softly, "Why don't you want to?" ”
Long Jun hurriedly responded, "The minister is willing, thank you Your Majesty Longen!" ”
"Huh! Good! ”
