Li Guorui's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he said with a smile: "Yue Shiyi, when did you come to Beijing?" ”

The person who came was the first general in the world of the Great Wei Dynasty, with a heavy defense, immovable as a mountain, no flaws, with more than 10,000 people against more than 30,000 Donghu cavalry did not fall behind, always as firm as a mountain, until the arrival of reinforcements, and finally returned to Yue Zhi in vain.

Yue Zhi's military officer is also step by step, although he is from a family of Hebei Jiangmen, but he is from the team officer, the sentry commander, the head of the capital, the battalion deputy commander, the battalion commander, the military capital Yuhou, the military deputy commander, the military capital, and then the Xiangdu Yuhou, the deputy commander of the Xiangdu, until the Xiangdu commander, if you don't worship the Taiwei, the Xiangdu commander is the pinnacle of the actual position of the military attache of the Great Wei, the rank is the upper guard, the champion general, the Zhennan Army Festival Envoy, this is already the Taiwei level, and then the next level, that is, the auxiliary general, the pillar country, plus one or two towns of the festival degree envoy, Achieve the pinnacle of the position of a military minister.

"I entered Beijing last night, because I came in before the city gate was closed, and it was a little late to settle down, thinking that I would come to visit the ruling ...... today" Yue Zhi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to catch up with this big scene." ”

"It's okay, you're a step late, otherwise, it's hard to get out." Li Guorui was glad for Yue Zhi.

If Yue Zhi arrived a day earlier, Liu Zhiyuan would definitely summon Yue Zhi to his side, and when he made a decision and tried to show up in poverty, with a famous general like Yue Zhi by his side, Liu Zhiyuan would sleep a little more peacefully.

It's okay, it's really okay.

"Along the way, I heard rumors that Liu Dashen had been killed by Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian?" Of course, Yue Zhi has no sadness, nor anger, Liu Zhiyuan is his boss who is separated by a layer, and he has met several times, Yue Zhi has no good feelings about Liu Zhiyuan's struggle for power and profit, disregarding state affairs for the sake of the party, and Han Zhong's luxury and personal ethics.

Only Liu Zhiyuan's ambition for the Northern Expedition, Yue Zhi quite agreed, which was also one of the reasons why he became a peripheral of the Liu faction.

Although Yue Zhi is a tactical style like a rock, thick and stable, but strategically, he is one of the staunch Northern Expedition factions, with Yue Zhi's ability, of course, he knows that the Northern Forbidden Army can not withstand the repeated attacks of Donghu, last year the Hebei Forbidden Army under the leadership of Li Guorui, barely maintained the ability to maneuver, and also found an opportunity to bite a piece of meat from the Donghu people.

But that's just the case, after being entered by Donghu a few times, the people will be completely defeated, and the people who can fight and dare to fight in the forbidden army will also be killed and wounded, and when the time comes, they will lose their strategic initiative and fight separately, and they will only be divided and surrounded by superior cavalry, and they will not even have the strength to fight back.

The important thing is that the financial resources of the imperial court cannot support such a way of fighting, if the financial resources are sufficient, the loss of the forbidden army will be made up as much as possible, and even recruit more forbidden troops and van troops, build fortresses everywhere to provide shelter for the people, locally, civil officials are competent, and military generals dare to fight, just like the situation during the period from Taizu to Xuanzong and Renzong, with an annual income of 200 million yuan, it is completely able to achieve such a defensive point.

In this way, when Donghu entered the country, the gains were far lower than their losses, and they did not dare to come when the Donghu people were invited to come.

However, with the current national strength and financial strength, it is impossible to do such a degree of defense, and can only be passively beaten, and the more they fight, the weaker they become, and the results of the Donghu people are greater and greater each time, and then it may not be once in a few years, but every year there will be Hu cavalry entering the country, and even two or three times a year.

The garrison of the border pass will become more and more difficult, and the strength of the defense will be weakened, if it reaches this point, it is like cutting down a tree, first cutting the branches, removing its roots, and then cutting its roots, cutting deeper and deeper, and finally kicking it when it falls, and the century-old tree can also be cut down so easily.

Yue Zhi agreed with the Northern Expedition, so he supported Liu Zhiyuan, and now that Liu Zhiyuan was killed, Yue Zhi's unwillingness and worry are also quite obvious.

"The rumors are true."

Of course, Li Guorui has his own sources of information, and he is one of the rulers, and he said to Yue Zhi: "Nan'an Hou led one hundred and fifty people to the mansion of the Great Counselor, beheaded the Great Counselor, and forced back the order of Xu Ziwei, and now there are more than 2,000 Lang guarding outside the Mansion of the Great Counselor, waiting for the order of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Can the Son of Heaven have an order to ask the Privy Council to send troops?" Yue Zhi followed up and asked, and then sighed: "This Nan'an Hou, like a fierce general like Li Youde?" ”

"There are a lot of fierce generals under his command." Li Guorui sighed: "I don't mean that Fujian Road, which is far away in the south, also has many heroes. ”

"If I have the chance, I'd really like to see each other."

"If Li Youde is here, I'm afraid he has already ridden to the Great Counselor's Mansion to meet those warriors."

I can't help Li Guorui and Yue Zhi not sigh, one hundred and fifty people in the capital of the important place, actually brazenly rushed into the mansion of the Great Staff, beheaded Liu Zhiyuan, a great Wei minister, not to mention Xu Zixian's courage, the one hundred and fifty people under his command must also be extremely brave heroes, for Yue Zhi and Li Guorui, who have been in the army for a long time, there is also a lot of curiosity about the soldiers and horses led by Xu Zixian.

At this time, Li Guorui turned his mind and said to Yue Zhi: "I haven't received the edict yet, and the commander of the Shicai Duxiang has come to Wang Tong, and he left disappointed. ”

The Privy Council has the right to send troops, and of course the government hall also has the right to command and manage the troops, but they do not have the right to send troops.

In fact, the Privy Council also has to be edicted, especially in the capital of the important land, even the cardinal envoy has no expediency, only the local police and robbery and other trivial matters, most of the government and the Privy Council can decide.

For example, Ren Xu Zi was the regimental training envoy and allowed the recruitment of regimental training soldiers, which was the decision of the political affairs hall, and it was the Privy Council that issued a letter to the Fujian Road Metropolitan Governor's Office.

As for sending a small number of troops and horses to quell the rebellion, instead of fighting with foreign enemies, the Privy Council can dispose of it on its own, and if it sends a general at the level of the army in charge, that is, at the level of the commander of the Xiangdu, it must be ordered by the Son of Heaven and the Metropolitan Hall, and then the Privy Council can follow suit.

Of course, Wang Tong hoped that the Son of Heaven would issue an edict after dawn to quell the chaos, and Xu Zixian could lead 150 people to block the Lang Wei of more than 2,000 people, but he definitely couldn't stop the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army of one army.

After all, the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army was ordered to go out many times, and there were many military attaches and non-commissioned officers with experience in battle formations, one hundred and fifty people, no matter how brave they were, they were not the enemy of a drum.

But the Son of Heaven did not have an edict, Wang Tong could only return disappointed, as Liu Zhiyuan's ironcore, the high-level of the forbidden army generals, will definitely be swept out in the first round of the purge presided over by Han Zhong, most of them can save their lives, but the power cannot be saved, Wang Tong should be looking forward to not raiding the house, just leave him more property.

"Several commanders, three envoys, officials, a few temple secretaries, well, and me and He Badger......" Li Guorui calculated against Yue Zhi, and estimated that after several rounds of purging, more than 200 officials with more than seven grades will be dismissed."

"It's fine." Li Guorui said with a smile: "If Han Xianggong falls, this number will be increased several times, and the court will be empty." ”

"There is something wrong with being in power." Yue Zhi said in a deep voice: "In fact, it is not Liu Zhiyuan's private party to be in power, but it is only when he agrees with the Northern Expedition like Zai Xia that he will get closer to Liu Dashen." ”

"Let's see what the Son of Heaven wants." Li Guorui said: "Han Xianggong has turned to support the Northern Expedition again, my generation should be able to keep it, I'm afraid that Han Xianggong will not break his word, and the matter is not straight, but in the hearts of the people, I will not fight, it's just a big deal." ”

Li Guorui can become one of the rulers, the most important thing is his big victory over Donghu last year, that is a real field feat, the court is afraid that it is shameless to say that Li Guorui was attached to Liu Zhiyuan to get the government, this cool umbrella is Li Guorui's own merit to take away, shameless is the court.

Moreover, as long as the Son of Heaven and Han Zhong want to go on a northern expedition, Li Guorui will not be able to preside over this world-renowned war.

In the same way, generals like Yue Zhi and Li Youde are inseparable, which is also where Yue Zhi knows that after Liu Zhiyuan's death, he is not flustered.

"Now I'm waiting for Han Xianggong to enter the palace." Li Guorui said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven is not in a good mood, and he won't ask Han Xianggong to handle things so smoothly, there will be some twists and turns." ”

"The Son of Heaven likes to make small means." Yue Zhi said disapprerovingly: "The world is so corrupt, all parties are guilty, and there must always be a source." ”

Li Guorui deeply thinks so, the power minister, the internal strife, the mutiny, the Great Wei Dynasty has come to the point where it is now, and the culprit is of course the Son of Heaven.

But when it comes to this, it's almost the same, can't the Son of Heaven be ousted?

Who can break into the palace and behead the Son of Heaven?

"I'm going to the Inner East Gate." Li Guorui said: "There are already a lot of people who want to come and go there, now it depends on what the Son of Heaven and Han Xianggong do." ”

"I hope to put national affairs first." Yue Zhi sighed and said, "There is a strong enemy outside, but there must be no more internal strife. ”

"Difficult." Li Guorui also shook his head and sighed, Yue Zhi was going to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall to report, when he entered the city yesterday, he thought that he had already reported his name in Xuande Gate, and then went to the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, Yue Zhi was called to Beijing, many people speculated that Yue Zhi was going to be appointed as the envoy of the Beijing camp and become one of the ten management armies, but Liu Zhiyuan, who presided over the matter, had been killed, Yue Zhi's arrangement depended on Han Zhong's meaning, in the end it was not his own descendant general, whether Yue Zhi could stay in Beijing or not, it was difficult to say.

As for Li Guorui himself, under the sweep after the party struggle, whether he can stay in Beijing is really only between the two.

State affairs are like this, what else is there to say?

……

Han Zhong had already rushed to the gate of the palace.

As soon as the morning dawned, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened, Wang Zhi led 300 people, plus the prime minister's 100 yuan, 400 people came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Yuji and Chen Changde had already knelt on the ground to ask Han Zhong for guilt.

Han Zhong glanced at the two of them and left without saying a word.

The more than 1,000 Lang Wei's expressions were full of fear, when he saw Han Zhong, there were actually many people trembling, and the long guard in his hand also seemed to be a burden, if Han Zhong coughed, I was afraid that many Lang officials and Jin Wuwei would kneel on the ground on the spot.

"Is the Son of Heaven sending such a person to take my life?" Han Zhong was not without disdain in his heart, and thought to himself: "But that's it. ”

I was trembling before, but now it seems that the authority of the Son of Heaven is nothing more than that, and Lang Wei is nothing more than that.

If Liu Zhiyuan can master more of the power of the forbidden army after the fall, and raise more tooth generals in the house, Lang Wei of the Son of Heaven has not been like this, since then, at least within three years, the Son of Heaven will not be able to support a figure like Liu Zhiyuan to confront Han Zhong, and the layout will be done well in the past few years, even if the Son of Heaven has a calculating, within ten years, Han Zhong can be safe.

This is the overall situation, holding the power in his hands and controlling the important ministers and prime ministers of the imperial court, it is not so easy to get to the position.

Especially under the hands of today's sons.

The more he likes to think carefully about calculating his courtiers, the easier it is to fall into the pit he dug, Han Zhong thought of this, and unconsciously showed a sneer on his face.

But that's it......
