Chapter 81:-for-tat
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, after hearing the news of Dong Zhuo's death, Zhu Cheqi was worried about the political situation, rushed to Chang'an non-stop, and handed over the five thousand private soldiers under his command to Weichen for control, Zhu Cheqi came to Chang'an and went directly to Wang Situ, put forward various suggestions, and took the initiative to ask Ying, for the court to share worries, but Wang Situ did not know why, actually refused Zhu Cheqi's suggestion, but also concealed Zhu Cheqi's matter, let Zhu Cheqi be his staff, but unfortunately Zhu Cheqi's heart to serve the country, It is really sad to become someone else's staff. ”
Pei Qing knew that Wang Yun didn't have a few days to live anyway, plus now that there is Pei Mao in Chinese and Lu Bu in Wu, they are all supporting him, but Wang Yun is targeting him everywhere, in this case, why should he be afraid of this Wang Yun? It's just the right opportunity to weaken him.
When the little emperor heard this, he also looked at Wang Yun, and then said, "Wang Situ, is this the case?" Do you think you can send Zhu Cheqi to lead the army to the aid of General Xu Rong? ”
The first half of the little emperor's sentence sounded very imposing, but in the second half of the sentence, it immediately turned into a tone of discussion, which made Pei Qing secretly sigh that the little emperor had been constrained from the beginning, and now he has formed a weak character, I'm afraid this is also an important reason why he has not been able to control the government, right?
"It's the same little emperor, the same assassination of the ministers, but Kangxi can take the opportunity to recover the power, but today he can't, this is not only a matter of intelligence, it also has a lot to do with the emperor's character, now this little emperor if he is the Taiping Emperor, he may be a good emperor, but now his character can't restrain the heroes at all, from this point of view, the Han Dynasty has exhausted such a statement is definitely not unfounded."
Pei Qing sighed secretly, and even sympathized with this little emperor, he became the emperor at a young age, but there is no day when he is in charge of himself, and he can't even be the emperor if he is not in charge, which is really sad.
Just when Pei Qing sighed, Wang Yun arched his hand to the little emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is about to say this, Zhu Gongwei is indeed in my house, but this is not that the old minister can't see it, but if he leads five thousand troops into Chang'an City, I'm afraid everyone will suspect his intentions, now the country is in danger, Zhu Jun, as a courtier, of course, has to share worries for the country, but Zhu Jun is an old and serious person, and Weichen hopes to let him assist General Lu Bu to defend the city, so as to ensure the safety of Chang'an, After all, the ultimate goal of the thieves is Chang'an, and our ultimate goal is also to prevent the safety of Chang'an, as for Xinfeng, Lao Chen thinks that although the number of our army is not much, there are also Hu Zhen, Li Su and other old generals of the Xiliang Army, what we lack is only a strong commander, and now General Pei is the imperial prince, and the new auxiliary Han general, not only loyal to the imperial court, but also has the ability to command the army, Weichen believes that except for him, there is no one more suitable to be this commander. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately became angry, because in this way, it strengthened Wang Yun's strength in Chang'an, and Lu Bu's subordinates Li Su and Hu Zhen and others were transferred out of Chang'an.
So Lu Bu opened his mouth and said: "It's not proper, although Pei Yuanqing has the ability and his position is not low, but after all, he is young and his prestige is relatively low, which is not enough to suppress those Xiliang generals, and Zhu Gongwei is famous, and it is more suitable for the Xiliang army generals to come to the aid of Xinfeng, not to mention that Pei Yuanqing has already made a marriage contract with the princess, in case of a mistake, what should the princess do?" ”
Wang Yun insisted: "It is precisely because Pei Yuanqing and the princess made a marriage contract that they should personally go to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, Your Majesty, Feng Xian, think about it, Pei Qing, as the imperial prince, personally went to the front of the battle to fight, what a morale-boosting thing should this be?" At that time, everyone will definitely fight bravely, in this way, we will win the battles that we can't win, and on the other hand, Pei Yuanqing, as a prince and deeply favored by the emperor, doesn't want to contribute to the country, and others may have no reason to be loyal to the country. ”
Pei Qing heard this and immediately said: "It's not that the last general doesn't want to serve the country, but he is powerless, because among the troops stationed outside the city, most of them belong to the command of Zhu Cheqi, and some of them belong to the command of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, and there are only five hundred people who really belong to the last general. ”
When Wang Yun heard this, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "Hmph, how are you doing?" can say it together, if it can promise you, the court will naturally not allow it, but if you take the opportunity to blackmail and sell at a price, then it is not a loyal minister and a righteous man, and he has betrayed His Majesty's trust, and he is not worthy of existing as a royal prince. ”
Pei Qing sighed when he heard this: "The last general is just to appease the generals under his command, so that they can unite as one and serve the country wholeheartedly, where do you dare to ask for too much?" Since Wang Situ asked, the last general said his thoughts and asked Situ to help him get an idea. First of all, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian rode Du Lieutenant Zang Ba, he was originally honored by Tao Thorn Shi to go to Zhongmu to support Zhu Cheqi, but was provoked by the end of the righteousness, came to Chang'an outside the city, and stationed for several days without regrets, the last general wanted to ask Situ to praise Tao Thorn Shi and General Zang Ba. ”
"This is easy to do, Tao Qian is loyal to the country, can be a model, can be promoted to Xuzhou Mu, General Anton; This Zang Ba is loyal to the country, his ambition is commendable, and he can be worshiped as a marching captain to encourage him. ”
"Shhh...... This guy is really generous, he even directly appointed Tao Qian as Xuzhou Mu, this is a recognition of Tao Qian's military separatist status? Pei Qing was shocked by Wang Yun's generosity, because Xuzhou Mu and Xuzhou Thorn History are not of the same magnitude at all, because Xuzhou Thorn History is generally only responsible for the supervision of officials, which is equivalent to the discipline of the entire Xuzhou Senior Officials, but Xuzhou Mu is the chief executive, and the military, government and finance are grasped, Xuzhou Mu is equivalent to the administrative head and army commander of the entire Xuzhou, and is also in charge of financial power, which is equivalent to recognizing its status in the era of chaos and separation.
"Although Tao Qian has de facto controlled Xuzhou, this kind of formal recognition is indeed a big deal, and it is not who is not distressed." Pei Qing sighed secretly in his heart, but he also knew that with the current decline of the imperial court, even if he didn't admit it, he couldn't change the fact that the warlords were divided and divided.
"There are also generals Zhang Chao and Xu Xuan under the command of Zhu Cheqi, they are now all Sima of other departments, and they are not appointed by the imperial court, I hope Wang Situ can give them official military positions."
Pei Qing originally wanted to buy Zhang Chao and Xu Xuan through this move, but he didn't expect Wang Yun to say categorically: "Then appoint Zhang Chao as the cavalry captain, as for Xu Xuan, the old man thinks that he and his soldiers should be let into the city to assist Zhu Gongwei in guarding Chang'an, you can't take Zhu Gongwei's army away, General Pei, right?" In that case, Zhu Gongwei has no army to command, so what is the use of staying in Chang'an? ”
"It's really an old fox, and at this time, I'm still trying to weaken my strength and strengthen my own strength." Pei Qing listened to Wang Yun's words and immediately scolded in his heart, but he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.
