Chapter 764: Ambition Revealed Again (Fourth Watch)
Zhennan Governor's Mansion.
The station of the Zhennan Governor's Mansion is in the Jianchang Governor's Mansion, which is the location of the former Wangzhou Prefecture City, and the approximate location is in Xichang in the later generations.
The fall of the Jianchang Governor's Mansion was not long, the first year of Xiantong (AD 860) was captured by Nanzhao, and now only more than 20 years have passed, and the Tang Dynasty still has some influence here, unlike the Huichuan Governor's Mansion.
In addition, there is also anxiety about Duan Baolong. In case of a section of Baolong's fraud, the Zhennan Governor's Mansion will be served in one pot, isn't it very miserable.
After thinking about it, Wang Jian put his governor's mansion in Wangzhou.
However, after Wang Jianlai took office, Duan Baolong did not come for the first time, and his attitude was also very bad.
It's also easy to guess the reason, he originally thought that he could survive between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao by taking refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect the Tang people to be so ruthless, and he sent a large army to control the former Wangzhou and other places at the first time.
At that time, Duan Baolong betrayed Nanzhao, if he offended the Tang Dynasty again, he would offend both sides, and he had no choice but to swallow his anger and control the Huichuan Governor's Mansion and the south region first, to ensure that he would not be overshadowed by the Tang people.
It is also for this reason that the imperial court appointed Duan Baolong as the governor of the Huichuan Metropolitan Governor's Office.
"Father-in-law, this Duan Baolong is too rude, isn't it? As his father-in-law's boss, he actually has such an attitude, doesn't he take his father-in-law seriously? ”
Seeing Duan Baolong walking away, Wang Zongji was a little angry.
Wang Jian didn't come alone, he also brought some personal guards, these people are usually the guards of the house, and they can also go into battle to kill the enemy when fighting.
And these guards are all in charge of his righteous son, there are hundreds of people, and this is the reason why Li Ye has always been distrustful of them.
Historically, Wang Jian was the late Tang Dynasty feudal town festival envoy who received the most righteous sons, more than 100 of them, but now it is definitely not good.
But there are also many of his righteous sons, in addition to Wang Zongji, there are also Wang Zongkan, Wang Zonghan, Wang Zongdian, and Wang Zongben.
These people have all been following Wang Jian, and many of them have long left Wang Jian and joined others.
If it weren't for Wang Jian's love of accepting his son, Li Ye would not have been treating him very well.
What do you want to do with so many capable righteous sons? No king would allow such a general to exist, and if he grows up, he will threaten the imperial power.
"Let him be arrogant for a while, if he continues to do so, the court will not tolerate him. In the latter part of this period, the father will send a few of you to various positions to train the army well, so that when the time comes, the father will not have his own army in his hands. Wang Jian said.
"Father-in-law, is this appropriate? If anyone else knew about it and reported it to the Holy One, the Father would certainly be punished. Wang Zongji was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, my father is the governor of the Zhennan Governor's Mansion, and he holds the military and political power of the Zhennan Governor's Mansion, why can't he appoint a few people? It's just that a few of you may have to go back to your original name, so that you can avoid a lot of gossip. Wang Jian doesn't care about other people's complaints, as long as he can make war achievements, those complaints can be ignored.
If Li Jian was here, he would definitely scold Wang Jian for looking for his own death. However, now Li Jian can't talk to Wang Jiantui, and naturally he won't remind him what to do and what not to do.
"Father-in-law, the child will not change his name, so he will stay with his father-in-law if it is a big deal." As soon as Wang Jian's words fell, Wang Zongji opened his mouth to express his position.
"Stay with the Father? In that case, you can only be a personal commander, but you have no future. Wang Jian looked at Wang Zongji.
"Even then, the child would be willing." Wang Zongji said without hesitation.
"Zong Ji, you are filial, whatever you want." Wang Jian looked indifferent, but he was a little relieved in his heart, and then looked at the other people, "What about you?" ”
Wang Zongkan, Wang Zonghan, Wang Zongyan, and Wang Zongben glanced at each other and hesitated.
"The child is willing to obey the orders of his father."
Among them, Wang Zonghan answered the most refreshingly, because he is Wang Jian's righteous son and his nephew, and this blood relationship cannot be erased whether he changes his surname or not.
Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction, this is not a temptation for a few righteous sons.
If there is no ambition, it is impossible, even if Wang Jian has changed several positions, the ambition in his heart has always been there.
It's just that he didn't have a chance before, but now he has this opportunity.
The Tiangao Emperor of Zhennan Governor's Mansion is far away, and he himself is the governor of the capital, holding military and political power, why not take the opportunity to cultivate his cronies?
In the end, two of Wang Jian's five righteous sons changed back to their original names, Wang Zongkan changed back to his original name Tian Shikan, and Wang Zongyan changed back to his real name Ji Ji.
Although the two changed back to their real names, Wang Jian did not blame them for this. Except for Wang Zongji and Wang Zonghan, who stayed by his side as the commander of his own soldiers, the other four were all appointed generals, each in charge of 1,000 soldiers and horses.
Of course, the establishment of these four capitals is not in the forbidden army, nor in the Jianchang Governor's Mansion, but under the Zhennan Governor's Mansion.
Wang Jian couldn't interfere with the appointment of the forbidden army; The governor of the Jianchang Governor's Mansion is Yue Changxu, and the other party will definitely not agree to Wang Jian's placement of cronies under his command.
Before Wang Jian's trip, he did receive the instructions of the Holy Lord to form and train the army, but Wang Jian's appointment of several of his righteous sons to serve as generals still caused some dissatisfaction.
The deputy governor Kong Chongbi, including the governor Shi and Sima, all found Wang Jian, thinking that his righteous son should not be appointed in such a big way.
But Wang Jian, as the governor, directly suppressed this matter.
Only Zhou Dewei, the deputy governor, did not get involved in this matter, but just watched from the sidelines, and there were several generals directly appointed by the imperial court.
And Wang Jian's practice in the Zhennan Governor's Mansion naturally failed to hide from Jinyiwei, and soon the news about Wang Jian's wanton cultivation of cronies in the Zhennan Governor's Mansion spread to the Jinyi Guard Office in Chang'an.
Seeing Wang Jian's practice in the Zhennan Governor's Mansion, Li Jian couldn't help but shake his head, what did this former acquaintance want to do?
Holding the secret report in front of him, Li Jian felt a little hot, and after hesitating for a while, he asked people to prepare a horse, he couldn't hide this matter and not report it.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Jian appeared in the Yanying Hall of Daming Palace, and the secret report naturally reached Li Ye's hand.
Looking at the secret report presented by Li Jian, Li Ye casually threw it on the table and said lightly, "Li Jian, your news this time is a step slower, has Jinyiwei begun to fall?" ”
"Your Majesty, when the minister got the news, he submitted the secret report, and he didn't dare to delay it in the middle." Li Jian was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, his eyes glanced at it, and found that there were still a few letters on the table of the saint, could there be anyone faster than the speed of Jinyiwei?
"Really?" Li Ye stared at Li Jian for a while, and the latter was nervous, "Check it yourself, Wang Jian's matter has happened for half a month, and Jinyiwei only got the news, if something goes wrong, you can check it yourself."
As for Wang Jian's matter, don't disclose it to the outside world for now, remember to keep it secret. Send someone to keep an eye on him, what should I do, I don't need to say more, right? ”
Li Jian was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows." ”。
"Let's go down!" After speaking, Li Ye closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Saint Ann, the minister retires!"
