Chapter 245: Above the Court
There is a saying that "the anger of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses, and thousands of miles of blood", a small deputy envoy of the armor library was hated by Zhao Ji, and the result was miserable.
The words of raiding the family and exterminating the clan came from the mouth of the emperor of the old Zhao family, and it could not be changed. As a prosperous era of literature, in the country of the old Zhao family, literati doctors have done a great job. And raiding the family and exterminating the clan was too harsh for the literati.
But the mercy of these literati doctors will never be merciful to Ling Zhen, a deputy envoy of the armor treasury who was born in the army. Zhao Jizhen is incompetent, but his control over the power of the court is very strong, and the reasons have been explained before.
When the civil and military ministers in the hall saw the angry Daojun Emperor, they all closed their mouths. If a person is not a sage, how can he be without anger? If there is anger, it is sprinkled on others, and it is sprinkled on oneself, so why not ask the emperor to sprinkle anger on others?
No one would argue with the emperor for the sake of Ling Zhen, a small person.
Zhong Wenwu then held his breath and condensed, looked at his nose and nose, and quietly waited for the emperor to vent his anger, quietly waited for the emperor's final verdict on He Guan, and quietly waited for the next person to conquer the Liangshan Bo thief. Many people looked at Gao Yu with playful eyes, but no one believed that Gao Yu could completely block the emperor's audio-visual, and then completely suppressed the news of Lu Qian and Lin Chong.
Sure enough, Emperor Daojun's anger really did not be cleared, and he saw that his spearhead turned to the prefect of Puzhou. The battle of Fan County was in the territory of Puzhou Mansion, but from beginning to end, the prefect did not even come forward. However, the Puzhou Mansion was broken by Liangshanbo before, and the prefect and other officials were killed, and the new prefect of the old Zhao family has been visiting relatives and friends in the city of Tokyo, visiting 'teachers and classmates', and has been in a state of relationship from beginning to end.
He is very aware of the virtue of the old Zhao family's forbidden army, and he doesn't know how many incidents will arise when he fights Puzhou all the way through. Why did he go to work early and ask for his own hardships?
Who knew that his side rushed to Puzhou to take office at the end of the term of office, and before his ass was hot, He Guan was defeated for the second time in Fan County.
Zhao Jicai didn't care about this, he only saw that the Puzhou prefect was head and didn't show it on the battlefield. How can he not be angry when he is slack, cowardly and incompetent? "How can such a gutless rat be an official?" In the blink of an eye, he is about to take off the official hat of the prefect.
The courtiers below were silent, and they continued to hang high. Only Cai You's heart jumped a few times, and he took a stride out of the train: "Your Majesty, Ding Min, the prefect of Puzhou, has just been in office for a few days, and I don't know the geography and people's ......."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Master Cai said is ridiculous. As far as the minister knows, Ding Min, the prefect of Puzhou, spent more than a month in Beijing before and after, and rushed to Puzhou to take up his post a few days ago. Is this person unable to hear or see with his ears? Otherwise, you would never know the battle of Fan County. But he blindly deduces excuses in Beijing, not anxious about what the court is anxious about, and does not want what the court thinks, his sins are unforgivable, and his heart can be punished. Zhang Kegong, the secretary of the ministry, stepped forward and spoke.
He is Uncle Zhang's younger brother, and the previous impeachment of Cai Jing had already caused Uncle Zhang to be demoted to the Xi'an Grassland Supervisor, and he was able to recover after a few years. Zhang's family also had a big enmity with Cai Jing, and Uncle Zhang was not allowed to be a good Beijing official, and was transferred to Jeju to serve as the prefect, which was Cai Jing's handiwork. So much so that Zhang Shuye's father and son were killed by Liang Shanbo, and Cai Jing also stopped the court's posthumous gift on the grounds of 'dead and no body'. Zhang Kegong was a pawn left by Zhao Ji in the court to balance Cai Jing's party, but this official Meng couldn't take care of his brother. Zhang Kegong had no choice but to keep it in his heart.
Now, of course, I won't let Cai You give it a hard blow.
Cai You was speechless on the spot, and then saw that his father, who was standing at the top, was handing him a look, and he sank immediately.
As soon as Zhao Ji was happy, he couldn't help but want to give Zhang Kegong a little benefit. And his impression of Zhang Shuye is very good, thinking that Zhang Shuye is a capable minister. "Is there any definite news from the former Jeju Governor Jang Shuye?"
Shangshu Zuo Chenghou Meng stood in the column and said: "Your Majesty, since Zhang Shuye and his eldest son Chengfeng Lang Bofen fell into the hands of the enemy, I have not heard the slightest news. His second son, Lang Zhongxiong, fought hard in the battle of Qianfan County, but also fell into the hands of the enemy, and his life and death were unknown. β
Zhao Ji listened and looked at Zhang Kegong, "Ji Zhong has the city in his mind, is honest and self-disciplined, has great talents, cherishes the sky and does not take a holiday, and dies at the hands of thieves." β
"Spread the word that Zhang Qing and his son will be built on the west side of the Linghu Temple in Guangfeng County." The next step is to posthumously give official positions and nicknames, but this is not something that can be decided in a short period of time. Zhang Kegong's face was full of excitement bathed in holy grace, but his heart was full of joy and sorrow. The sad thing is that after this 'grace', Uncle Zhang died even if he didn't die, and even if the Zhang family added brilliance, it was actually short of a consolidation, and the joy was the emperor's favor.
The treacherous and cunning Cai Jing saw this, so he stopped his son from admonishing him. Just ask the Zhang family to get some benefits. The emperor needs both an example to warn the world and an example to inspire the world. This uncle night is a tablet taken by the emperor.
Cai Jing would not come up to the emperor in this matter. As long as Uncle Zhang can't return to the court at night, he doesn't need to care. It was Cai You, and he also understood at this time. gave his father a thumbs up in his heart, and then he looked at Hou Meng's eyes and felt that it was tasteful.
Hou Meng is not a figure of his Cai family, he supervised the imperial history long before his father's career, and entered the palace to serve the imperial history. Song Huizong Chongning occasionally talked about ten things, that is, Cai Jing has been in the phase for many years, but he can't stop this guy from moving to serve the imperial history, and change the household department to Shangshu. In the fourth year of Daguan, in addition to knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, he entered the Shangshu Zuocheng. At present, there are even rumors that Hou Meng is going to take a step forward and sit in the position of Zhongshu Shilang. This is the deputy prime minister of the dynasty. Since the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the imperial court has been the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu, and the post of Zhongshu Order, and the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door are the same as the prime minister. He also placed the Chinese book and the servant under the door as the deputy minister.
Obviously, this bird is not from the Cai family, but in the years when Cai Jing was in power, he rose step by step. Cai You suddenly changed his impression of the emperor.
"Where's He's there?"
"Back to Your Majesty, you are already under the supervision of Dali Temple." Dali Siqing walked out of the train and returned.
"The guards and pro-army infantry and military divisions are all waiting for He Guan, ignoring the grace of the saints, bullying and hiding everything, and being immoral and incompetent. The heavenly soldiers of the church court were defeated in the hands of a nest of grass robbers, and the prestige of the court was lost, and their crimes deserved death. I only remember that he has been conscientious and industrious for many years, and he is specially exempted from capital crimes. Relegated to Yongzhou, filled with regimental training, resettled in this state, and was not allowed to leave the duty without an edict. β
Regardless of whether the defeat of Nafan County was as it was said, it was all because of Ling Zhen. As the commander of the first army, he was defeated and died in the whole army, and he could not escape the blame.
Just like Hu Yanzhuo, the old Zhao family is not in the time of Bandang now, and they don't know the preciousness of the generals. It is not surprising that Zhao Ji kicked He Guan to Yongzhou on Jinghu South Road.
This decision was not Zhao Ji's momentary anger, but it had gone through several games before the previous dynasty. After all, He Guan was the one who was jointly launched by various factions at the beginning, and now He Guan is doing something bad, but it is not for nothing. The important ministers of the court and the eunuchs of the inner court were all involved, and Zhao Ji himself did not intend to take his life, so it was logical to be kicked to Yongzhou, a place full of snakes and insects, and poisonous miasma.
As for the position of the regimental training envoy, it is not worth mentioning compared to He Guan's position as the former infantry and military division. It can also be seen that Zhao Ji is angry with him in his heart. But there is no need to be afraid, the official system of Zhao and Song Dynasty is like this, high-ranking officials in the court go down to the place, and they seem to be degraded and punished, but as long as there are people in the court, they will be pulled back in the blink of an eye.
Like Su Shi, who was either demoted or on the way to the degraded official, looking at the entire history of the Zhao and Song dynasties for one hundred and fifty years, it is difficult to find the second one.
In this way, He Guan was punished as a node, and the early stage of today's court meeting was revealed. That's the focus of the day.
Who is the commander of the official army to conquer Liang Shanbo three times, this is a position that makes everyone angry. He Guan's army of 50,000 was defeated, and the number of soldiers and horses would naturally exceed 50,000.
100,000 cavalry is the number of officers and troops in the third conquest of Liangshanbo. That's a lot of money. In the eyes of many important court officials, this is also a position to take credit.
Of course, everyone knows that He Guan's defeat is that the conquest of Liangshanbo should not be underestimated.
Cute feelings sometimes deceive themselves. Liang Shanbo is not the Western Xia, let alone the Khitan in the north, and the origins of Lu Qian and others congenitally made the civil and military ministers in the court look down on them by three points. Even more than one of them sent people to contact the generals who followed He Guan to defeat Puzhou, and obtained a lot of information from them.
But people's feelings are really terrible in many cases.
The elite of the Liangshan Army, many people have got this news in their hands, but no one really takes a fancy to it. Because in the eyes of many important ministers of the imperial court, no matter how elite the thieves are, they are not as good as the Western Xia and Khitan. Many people prefer to classify the defeat of He Guan's army as a new type of stone cannon that appeared on the battlefield of Fanxian; The first defeat of the official army in Fan County was attributed to the success of the Liangshan Bo thieves and the frequent battles, which greatly damaged the morale of the officers and soldiers.
At that moment, someone came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty." The thieves of Liangshan gathered the treacherous and stubborn people in a depression of land, and rampaged through Heshuo and Jingdong, and there were few officials and soldiers everywhere who could resist them, and their thieves were arrogant and extremely evil. My Great Song Dynasty is rich in the world, with millions of soldiers, but what did you suffer a little defeat before? That Liangshan Bo has created great evil, robbed the city, robbed the warehouse, gathered the murderers and evil parties, entrenched in the vicinity of the Beijing Division, and resisted the heavenly soldiers, which is really a great trouble for the heart, if he does not kill and exterminate it as soon as possible, he will develop a thief in the future, and the harm to the country is greater than that of the enemy country in the north. Wechen was terrified. Fu begged my emperor to break the holy judgment. β
Zhao Ji stroked his beard with his hand and pondered: "The imperial court has a big plan, and this Hedong and Hebei are now the time to use troops, but they can't be adjusted lightly. The location of Liangshanbo is special, and the thief is sitting big, so it is not suitable for stability. β
Wang Hao hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. It's just that the Liangshan thieves have been very arrogant recently. The princes of the court also repeatedly transferred troops and generals in, but they were all unable to return. If you ask the Kou of Shandong to look down on the court and peep at Jifu, it is not safe. β
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although the thieves in Liangshan are powerful, they don't dare to do it. I still have more than 100,000 troops in Gyeonggi, and the forbidden troops in the Central Plains states are also there. The land thief is extremely cunning, and if he is not very prepared, he will not dare to do such a disdainful thing, so as to provoke the wrath of the world. Those who are afraid, the land thieves are running south to Xu and the sea, and they are like yellow nests, and it is not easy to exterminate them. Cai Jing said this, but the meaning in his words was to exterminate the Liangshan Bo thieves as soon as possible.
Next, another person played: "The courtiers have received repeated statements from various states and counties in Jingdong, all of which are led by Lu Qian and other thieves, openly entering Fuzhou, looting the treasury, robbing the warehouse, killing the army and civilians, and being extremely greedy. Wherever its thief army went, no one could control it, and no one could stop it. If you don't arrest it early, it will become a big trouble in the future. His Majesty the Holy Treasure. β
In this way, five or six people directly stood up, although their official positions were not very high, they were only "pioneers", but they belonged to different categories. Gao Yu lowered his head, and his squinted eyes showed a fierce color. Don't think he doesn't know, he knows the roots of these people.
There are inner courts and foreign courts, civil officials and military attachΓ©s, this is a tide of malice. In his second year of high school, he understood the meaning of the official family, and he wanted to start another mountain in the army, and he stretched out his hand in all directions like an octopus, which was to offend many people.
The national disaster is a good general. Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at his right hand, but unfortunately, that Tong Guan had already gone to the northwest and was not around.
Gao Yu has been paying attention to the changes in Zhao Ji's face, and when he saw the opportunity, he raised his feet and went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are not talented, and you are willing to lead the troops to set foot on Liangshanbo, capture Lu Qian alive, and dedicate it to Your Majesty." Share your Majesty's worries and sweep away a scourge for the world! β
