Chapter 261: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty
After Zhong Hao returned to the Western Army camp, he soon came to Di Qing's tent in the Western Army camp and told Di Qing what Yu Jing meant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is this what Yu Wuxi meant?" Wuxi is Yu Jing's alias, and calling the alias at this time is more polite than the table word.
Zhong Hao saw that Di Qing heard Yu Jing's advice, his eyes flashed, he was afraid that Di Qing would think that Yu Jing would have malicious intentions, so he hurriedly said: "My subordinates feel that Yu Xianggong has no malicious intentions, and he still admires Di Shuai." In fact, it's not just Yu Xianggong's meaning, but his subordinates also think so. The subordinates also feel that after returning to Beijing, if the official family asks you to be a privy envoy, I implore the marshal not to accept it! ”
"......" Di Qing was stunned for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Why is this?" ”
Zhong Hao said solemnly to Di Qing: "One is that the moon is full and missing, and the other is a taboo for soldiers!" ”
"A taboo?" Di Qing's face was cloudy.
"Dashuai, you are from the army. In the officialdom of the Beijing Division, there are civilian officials everywhere, how can there be your allies? Rather than being trapped in the Beijing Division, it is better to have a good time in the border area" Zhong Hao said from the bottom of his heart: "The marshal entered the Beijing Division alone to be a privy envoy, even if he was alone, and there was no help inside and outside, this is the so-called Jedi of the soldiers!" ”
"......" Di Qing was silent.
After being silent for a long time, Di Qing spoke: "Don't say it, it's unlikely that someone will become the ruler of this Western Mansion!" But if the official really has to grant this position, so and so has the confidence to be stable. ”
"Handsome ......" Zhong Hao wanted to persuade again.
Di Qing waved his hand and said, "Wen Xuan's kindness, Ben Shuai actually understands it in his heart. Yu Wuxi's meaning Ben Shuai also understood that he had no malicious intent. ”
"Then why does the marshal have to be this privy envoy? This official position, which is destined to be in name only, is so important?! Zhong Hao was a little puzzled by Di Qing's approach to the position of power.
Di Qing glanced at Zhong Hao, who was a little angry, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. In fact, Di Qing didn't know that Zhong Hao was telling the truth, even if he was this privy envoy, he would be in name only, and he would definitely be set aside by those civil officials!
But after a short hesitation, Di Qing still said categorically: "It is indeed very important, if it is possible, you must be this privy envoy." ”
Saying that, Di Qing didn't wait for Zhong Hao to speak, and then continued: "I'll tell Wen Xuan some of my past!" If you listen, you might understand me! ”
…………
Di Qing talked about this past for a long time, and it was started in Bianjing City twenty-five years ago.
On that day, one day in the third month of the fifth year of the Holy Dynasty, the lights were lit up on the royal streets of Tokyo, and it was the day when the new science and technology scholars paraded the streets to boast about their officials.
The champion, the list eye, and the three tripod armor of Tanhua are wearing auspicious clothes, hairpins and red flowers, riding on a high-headed horse from Donghua Gate. The people of the capital rushed to watch, and the crowd rubbed shoulders one after another, including a group of thieves who had just been black-faced.
At that time, I looked at those peers who were proud of the spring breeze, dressed in brocade, and boasted of the world, and these young people who were branded with shame and had a gloomy life, they were inevitably sad.
Some of those who feel that their lives are dim and complain to themselves: "Look at others, high in the clouds, but we are destined to be in the mud for the rest of our lives." ”
A group of GIs laughed bitterly, how can you tell the truth?
But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a clear voice say: "Not necessarily, it depends on the future efforts!" ”
When everyone heard this, they saw a handsome eighteen-year-old young man, holding his skull high, staring vigorously at the new science and technology scholars who were swaggering past them. His eyes were full of determination not to accept his fate!
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the black-faced boy has made a name for himself in the Northwest Battlefield with his unparalleled bravery. However, he was still discriminated against, humiliated, and even bullied by civil officials. Even the prostitutes ~ women in the seats of civil officials will use a frivolous tone to make jokes about the gold seal on his face.
Once, he couldn't bear it anymore, but he didn't dare to go crazy at the banquet! On the second day, he ordered someone to beat up the prostitute ~ woman who made jokes about him.
This is reasonable, at that time, he was already the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses, and the general with more than 100,000 soldiers under his command was humiliated by a prostitute, how could he swallow his anger? !
It seemed that this was the case, but if he did, he would be very wrong. A few days later, an old subordinate named Jiao Yong came down to visit him, and as soon as the two of them sat down to drink, they were suddenly arrested by the civil official, and then they casually fabricated a crime and were about to be killed.
Di Qing knew that this was the boss's reciprocal color, he didn't dare to theorize, so he could only plead: "Jiao Yong has military merits and is a good man." ”
Who knew that the boss civil official sneered and said: "The person who sings in the name of the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good man, what kind of good man is this?" ”
Right in front of him, kill Jiao Yong.
By the way, the name of the boss civil official is Han Qi, and he also saw the list of people outside the Donghua Gate when Di Qing saw it.
Who stipulates that a scholar is a good man, and a good man who fights for the country is not a good man? Who stipulates that only civil officials can rule the world? Could it be that this world is just the world of readers?!
Di Qing wanted to cry out for the people who were in the army represented by him.
Could it be that those armies can only wallow in the dust for the rest of their lives? Could it be that a man who is a soldier can only be destined to be lowly for the rest of his life?
Di Qing has been depressed for many years, and now he has the opportunity to feel depressed in his heart, and he doesn't want to give up this opportunity. It's not just for himself, he wants to bring a little hope to those lowly and dusty troops! I want those good men who fight for the country to see a little fairness.
In the end, Di Qing said in a deep voice: "The reason why I have to be this privy envoy is not because I am greedy for power. It doesn't matter if you are a privy envoy or not, but it is very important to the men of the world. If you can do this privy envoy from a military commander, it shows that even if you are from the lowly to the humblest army, there is still hope in this life, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will also have the possibility of success! I just don't want those good men who fight for the country to be completely chilled! ”
Zhong Hao was greatly moved when he heard this. It turned out that what Di Shuai was thinking about at this time was no longer himself, he wanted to give a little hope to the men in the world, Zhong Hao couldn't help but be a little in awe of Di Qing.
If Zhong Hao passes the "lock hall test" this time, he will also enter the ranks of civil officials. In fact, he also knew that the civilian officials' suppression of the generals was not out of selfishness, in fact, they were also for the stability of the Great Song Dynasty.
In fact, perhaps the suppression of military generals by the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty was indeed excessive, but the civil officials themselves were not so bad.
A long time ago, Zhong Hao believed that in addition to traitorous ministers, courtiers in ancient times were loyal ministers, whether they watched dramas, watched history, watched comic books, or listened to book reviews.
When I was in the whirlpool of history, I found that this understanding was very shallow. Di Qing is not a traitor, absolutely not, he is a great hero who resists foreign invasion.
So, according to the idea at that time, since Di Qing is a loyal minister and a hero, then Han Qi who is against Di Qing must be a traitor? But judging from what he has learned, Han Qi is not only not a traitor, but a very admirable hero.
He fought in Hengshan, and he also worked hard, and he also had a reputation as an official in the Daimyo's Mansion, and his only problem was that he looked down on the generals, or he was extremely wary of them.
In fact, he is not to blame for this, nor can he blame these civil officials. Mainly in the late Tang Dynasty, the festival degree made the army self-respecting, and the feudal towns were divided, which led to the collapse of the powerful Tang Dynasty, and then began a very dark page in Chinese history, five dynasties and ten countries, countless military generals staged countless ugly dramas on this land, conspiracy, betrayal, fighting, unkindness, incorruptibility and shame, viciousness and ruthlessness, this scene has just passed......
It is inevitable that the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty will be jealous of this, and it is inevitable that they will overkill......
Zhong Hao is not a pure Song person, so he thinks more about the future. Those Wenchen didn't know that a very miserable fate would befall this land in a few decades, and those Wenchen would only habitually find evidence from history. The past does not forget the teacher of the future!
Although Zhong Hao knew that those civil officials were not selfish, in his opinion, the policy of over-suppressing military generals was really wrong. Because of this policy, this also directly led to the "Jingkang Change" a few decades later, resulting in the most shameful page in the history of Han civilization.
Now Di Qing wants to challenge this policy and win a little living space for the generals, Zhong Hao feels that he should support it!
Maybe I will try my best to reverse this policy when I have the opportunity in the future, and it may not be wrong to restrict military generals, but it is too much, and this will lead to a big mistake.
…………
The Western Army is finally going to return to the north!
This time, the task of the Western Army going south to quell the rebellion was completed very successfully, not only defeating Nong Zhigao in the first battle and pacifying Lingnan, but also completely defeating the northern border soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army.
As for the bandit leader Nong Zhigao and the two traitor literati Huang Shimi and Huang Wei, none of them ran away, and even Li De'an, the commander of the northern border soldiers of Jiaozhi Country and the king of Luocheng, was also cut off his head, which can be regarded as a complete prestige of southern Xinjiang!
This battle completely deterred those unstable elements with dissenting intentions in southern Xinjiang, and at least fought for more than a decade of complete stability in the Lingnan and Guangxi regions.
The Western army was worried about being able to rush home for the New Year, so the march along the way was very fast.
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, and it is now the middle of winter, and the time of a month, that is, the middle of the lunar month, should be enough to rush to Tokyo to receive the reward.
After receiving the reward, they had half a month to rush back to the northwest, and they wanted to rush home for the New Year, and there should still be plenty of time.
In history, the pacification of Nong Zhigao should have ended in the spring of the past year, perhaps because of the arrival of Zhong Hao's butterfly, the western army's southward counterinsurgency ended ahead of schedule.
Zhong Hao felt that the soldiers of the Western Army should thank him, because his arrival allowed them to go home early for the New Year!
……
When the Western Army returned to the DPRK, they laughed and laughed along the way, but they walked fast.
On the way to the march, the soldiers of the Western Army learned that the imperial court had rewarded them.
All the meritorious civil and military officials and officers who went south to quell the rebellion this time were all promoted to knighthoods, and those with low positions were promoted to three levels in a row, and those with high positions were promoted by one or two ranks, and they were given one or two sons.
This time, the imperial court really rewarded all the meritorious personnel, and the number of people who received the reward and the weight of the reward were never heard of since Taizu.
Of course, the rewards of the generals and soldiers at all levels of the Western Army are not what people are most concerned about, but what everyone is most concerned about is the reward for Di Qing, the commander of the army.
???? It's just that the imperial court has not announced it for a long time, and the imperial court's reward for Di Qing is a little difficult to deliver.
There has been no decision on Di Qing's reward for a while, but the punishment of those officials in Liangguang has already been promulgated.
The reason why the Nong Zhigao Rebellion was able to cause such a large scale was actually related to the fact that the army and government of Liangguang had long been eroded.
In fact, the government system of the two Guangxi provinces has long been in vain, and the military of the two Guangxi provinces has long been decayed. In fact, Zhao Zhen, an official in the past, had also heard about the erosion of Liangguang, but he had never made up his mind to rectify it, and this time he took this opportunity to severely punish the officials of Liangguang and Guangxi, and strike hard, striving to break the old and establish the new as soon as possible.
The punishment of the imperial court began with the privy envoy Han Qi.
The privy envoy Han Qi, who was responsible for the erosion of the Liangguang army, was demoted from Caizhou, the capital governor; Except for those who had made meritorious contributions in the war and were spared, the rest of the officials were severely dealt with.
Officials have the responsibility of defending the land, and it is said that the city is in the people, and the city is broken and the people are dead. On the east and west roads of Quang Nam, except for the civil and military forces of a few cities who died abroad, the rest of the people ran as fast as they could, and how far they ran.
Now that the accounts are settled after the autumn, the officials are merciless, and they are all strict. The lightest is also to cut the post for the people, and the worst is to distribute Salmon Island. The Great Song Dynasty did not kill the scholars, which was already the heaviest punishment.
The official family is determined to let Liangguang break the old and establish the new as soon as possible!
Of course, at this time, people were not so concerned about the punishment of the officials of the two Guangzhous. Now the government and the opposition of the Great Song Dynasty are most looking forward to the court's reward to Di Qing.
The reward for Di Qing was inevitable, because Di Qing was already a privy deputy before he sent out the army, and if he was promoted to another level, he could only remove the deputy self and become the privy envoy of the governor of Xifu - that is, the so-called "ruling power".
Although the Privy Council is in charge of the military, it is a civilian-controlled institution, and the military general will reach the end of the privy council, and if he wants to go one step further and become the ruling power, there is an insurmountable gap in the middle.
Not surprisingly, the civil ministers of the imperial court put forward various reasons and fiercely opposed them. Even Pang Ji, who strongly recommended him at the beginning and guaranteed him with his net worth, resolutely opposed granting him the position of ruling Xifu. Another prime minister, Chen Zhizhong, also strongly objected.
In the end, under the pressure of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the official Zhao Zhen finally agreed: Di Qing did not enter the privy envoy, but was promoted to the envoy of the Shangjingguo Army, the Taifu of the school, and then gave his four sons a few levels of promotion, plus countless rewards, it seems that they are all happy.
However, just when Di Qing was about to return to Bianjing, the official family suddenly summoned the ministers of the two prefectures and issued a rare direct decree - to promote Di Qing to the privy envoy. And non-negotiable, execute it immediately!
Di Qing returned with immortal achievements, and the ministers of the two governments were already very passive, but now seeing that the officials are so resolute, they have no choice but to stop opposing it.
As soon as the news spread, the whole country was boiling, and people were more excited than they heard about Pingding Nong Zhigao. Because they witnessed with their own eyes, a miracle was born from the army to the general, from the general to the ruling party!
People think that this time the court has finally rewarded and punished clearly!
Based on this, everyone believes that as long as we, the ordinary people, work hard in the future, it is also possible to get ahead!
This appointment of the imperial court has brought hope to many people living at the bottom and given them a boost in their lives!
