Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ten Thousand Suspicions

Zezhou camp, in Zhao Kuangyin's camp tent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Sitting behind the case, he was approving some of the reports in the past few days, and casually asked Shi Shouxin, who was sitting at the bottom: "Wenjue, have you been staying in Zezhou City for the past few days?" ”

Shi Shouxin, who was sitting at the head of the tent, heard Zhao Laoer's question, and immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Kuangyin gently put down the brush in his hand, sighed slightly, and said: "Young people are inevitably arrogant, and they can't get used to these flies and dogs in the court, and it is normal for them to lose their temper, but if they delay the military plane, they are a little ignorant." ”

Since he was warned for no reason a few days ago, Wen directly picked his son and quit, and in the name of inspecting the construction of Zezhou, he waved all the military reports waiting for approval, and commented: It needs to be handed over to His Majesty for personal judgment.

I heard that I could pick and choose, but the mountains of military affairs had to be dealt with, so Zhao Lao Er naturally took over this errand.

Looking at the mountains of military intelligence documents on the case, Zhao Kuangyin said a little angrily: "This news is simply a minister." ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for taking the liberty of saying anything." Shi Shouxin thought about it for a moment and said.

"Shi Qing's family, but it's okay to talk about it." Zhao Kuangyin signaled.

Shi Shouxin said in a calm tone: "Wechen and Wen Shuai have known each other for some time, and they have gotten along more than once before, and Wechen thinks that Wen Shuai is definitely not such a rash person. ”

To alleviate the depression, Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly and said: "Although Wen Jue is young, in terms of doing things, it is undoubtedly reassuring, Shi Qing's family thinks Wen Jue, what does this mean?" ”

Shi Shouxin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, in a place like Zezhou, where there has been a war, there has been no bloodshed, and there are countless people who have destroyed their homes and destroyed the city. The city is abandoned, the fields are barren, there are no people for hundreds of miles, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, which is a common thing.

The Battle of Danzezhou has become the only exception in the past. A dilapidated Zezhou city was burned to the ground, and a brand-new Zezhou city was erected in just over a month. What makes Weichen even more admired is that such a huge war disaster did not cause many casualties among the people.

Wechen has gone to the city of Zezhou more than once to investigate, every time the investigation, will make Wechen feel shocked, from the drainage system in the city to the layout of the city's facilities, all show the planner's advanced vision and insight.

As for the over-complication, it was difficult for Wechen to understand for a while, but Wechen could assert that Zezhou City would become a standard for building other cities in the future.

If you want to build such a majestic city, it will inevitably involve a lot of energy, so Weichen thinks that it is normal for Wen Shuai to have no energy to deal with military affairs. ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly: "It's rare, I didn't expect the Shi Qing family to praise others." ”

"Your Majesty, it wasn't for Weichen praising Wen Shuai, Wen Shuai had dug up a lot of confinement rooms endlessly, which was the kind of black room that punished people. Now that I think about it, Weichen originally planned to see Wen Shuai's jokes, but the excavated soil was made into adobe bricks for the construction of houses. Those confinement rooms have now been transformed into cellar storage rooms in merchants' homes.

Wen Shuai dug pits all over the city to build confinement rooms at the beginning, and now it seems that he is also very useful, in terms of people's livelihood, these generals are really inferior to Wen Shuai. Shi Shouxin said solemnly.

"Shi Qing's family, in front of me, you have never praised a person like this, I don't know, I still think you have received any benefits from Wenjue." Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's a joke." Shi Shouxin said.

"Since Wenjue, there is something important to do, then we will not disturb him, people's livelihood is also the most important thing, as for how to arrange the matter of accepting Li Shoujie, let's bother more." Zhao Kuangyin said indifferently.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shi Shouxin got up and saluted, and said goodbye and left.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the back of Shi Shouxin leaving, and sighed slightly in his heart.

When a person is too prominent and sharp, he will encounter the hostility of others, and now even Shi Shouxin, who has never been too nosy, has joined it.

A general who can take down a heroic city like Zezhou without wasting a single soldier is the enemy of all generals, and such a person will set off all generals as incompetent.

When all the generals left the door-to-back relationship, they could not get the dividends of this war from Wen.

It is inevitable that all the generals will unite to make a situation and conceal the official military intelligence document of Li Yun's death and not report it, so as to swallow up the meritorious deeds.

In order to kick out Wen smoothly, these generals did not hesitate to put Wen's achievements in urban construction and people's livelihood in the first place, as long as they did not take food in their own one-third of an acre, it was also a matter of course to insert it into the civil official system.

Zhao Lao Er understood the intentions of these generals very well, but he did not stop the fermentation of this matter.

On the day of the siege, 50,000 soldiers, under the emotional speech of Wen, shouted in unison and took the oath.

Zhao Laoer's heart was tight.

In the army, the strong are respected.

In the minds of the soldiers, both brave generals and wise generals are worth following, and only mediocre generals will be abandoned.

And the feat of taking Zezhou City without wasting a single soldier, under the backdrop of the previous loss of 50,000 soldiers who did not take Zezhou City, it seems to be more wise and brave.

The emperor's instinctive defensive psychology reacted most naturally to this.

The cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, and the good bow was hidden, and the founding emperors of all dynasties liked to kill the founding generals, not without reason.

Especially Zhao Laoer, he went from a general to the current position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

He knows even more that if the prestige of the generals leading the troops is too high, the consequences will be terrible, especially when he hears that he is so young, there is too much room for young heroes to rise, and it will undoubtedly lay the foundation for future generations.

Since all the generals now want to get Wen into the civil system, that's fine. Zhao Kuangyin muttered to himself: "When I return to the dynasty in triumph, I am afraid that there will be greater storms brewing, and it is difficult, difficult, difficult to enter the civil and official system." ”

To civil officials, a general is a vicious dog that eats meat.

If such a dog falls into a sheepfold full of sheep, its fate can be imagined.

As the commander of the three armies, when the war is over, he will naturally return the letter to the imperial court. After stepping down, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces will inevitably be assigned a position. No matter how Wen became the commander of the three armies, after the squad returned to the court, he needed to have a formal position, and he couldn't be idle at home like now.

Normally, the position of Deputy Privy Counsellor in the Third Division is the most normal appointment.

But now it seems that there are too many uncertain factors, age is one of them, seniority is the second, and offending too many people is the third. A privy deputy who has no personal support is an ornament that will inevitably affect the normal operation of the department.

As for how to settle Wen after returning to the dynasty, it has become the most headache for Zhao Lao Er at this moment. (To be continued.) )
