Chapter 166: The Battle of the Three Yas

The murder of the king, which caused a storm in the city and everyone was in danger, finally came to an end with Gao Yu's head falling to the ground.

Although there are too many doubts in this case itself, especially the rebel soldiers who suddenly disappeared, which cannot be explained at all, it has been revealed under the cover of various forces. Because Zhao Ji was frightened at that time, after the reinforcements arrived, he fled back to the palace in a panic with the forbidden army, and did not dare to stay for a while, and naturally did not see the scene of the rebels disappearing inexplicably.

Of course, there is another important reason here, that is, Zhao Hao mastered the Imperial City Division, that is, he mastered the eyes and ears of the official family. In the past, this kind of thing was reported to the steward after the official inquired, and the steward's deed was reported to Yang Jian, and then it could be transmitted to the ears of the official, but now the steward's deed is reported to Zhao Hao's level, and it is naturally broken.

Tong Guan's party has received Tong Guan's instructions and must not mention the murder of the monarch again, although Liang Shicheng and others are puzzled, but as allies, naturally there is not much criticism.

And Cai Jing's party has not completely cleared up the relationship with Gao Yu, although they have doubts in their hearts, they do not dare to investigate in a big way, and can only act in secret.

After the storm, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and spring in Bianliang has really arrived.

On the Bianhe River, sparkling, flocks of ducks swim happily on the water, quacking happily; The painting boat that swims with the waves is full of flowers, like a flower boat, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in the air; The weeping willows by the river, like a charming and delicate girl, are draped in hair, swaying in the wind, gentle and light, and all kinds of romance.

Zhao Ji, who has not been in the early dynasty for more than a month, finally got rid of the shadow in his heart, and the officials also ushered in the first early dynasty in more than a month.

Zhao Hao was already early enough, Yin Shizhong had already arrived at Xuande Gate by carriage, and found that the front of Xuande Gate was already densely packed with people, I am afraid that except for Cai Jing and a few other minister-level officials did not come, the others arrived early.

It's just that the second grade of the high captain can never come again.

Boom......

As the morning bell rang, the Xuande Gate slowly opened, and hundreds of officials rushed in, at this time it was the middle of April in the lunar calendar, not only the weather was warm, but also the sky showed bright light early, and the ground was also dry, so there was no need to be too careful, and there was no need to borrow light to enter the palace, so everyone walked faster.

It is still Jin Chongyue's shift, basically there is no change, but Zhao Hao's position has moved forward a lot, and the original official rank of the fourth grade was inserted into the team of the third grade by Lao Jin, but this time no one raised criticism.

At the level of the third-grade official rank, compared with the fourth-grade and below officials, he has a little more strength and vision, and he is a little less arrogant than the first- and second-grade officials, they are all old foxes and human spirits, and they know that Zhao Hao is now in full bloom, where is he willing to touch the mold, and compete for the length of a position.

After a while, I saw Zhao Ji walking out from behind slowly, wearing a green dragon suit, wearing a Pingtian crown decorated with twenty-four yuan, stepping on red shoes, and coming proudly. Seeing that the important ministers had already gathered, Zhao Ji nodded at them slightly, looked indifferent, and walked to the middle dragon chair and sat down.

The ministers descended from Cai Jing and bowed in unison: "Holy into Wan'an!" ”

Zhao Ji's expression was still a little displeased, as if he was still thinking about the assassination, and he didn't bother to say anything, just glanced at Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng understood and said loudly: "You have something to do, and you have nothing to retreat from." ”

Before the words fell, a person stood up from the queue and said urgently: "The minister has a book to play!" ”

Liang Shicheng glanced at the man, saw that it was Kaifeng Mansion Yin Cai Mao, and said lightly: "Cai Mansion Yin, please speak." ”

"Gao Yu's rebel rebellion was beheaded, and now the Sanya Forbidden Army has no leader, but there is such a big chaos, and the Sanya Forbidden Army needs to elect one person to take charge of it, rectify the ranks, and protect the safety of the palace and the capital division."

The Song Dynasty was in charge of the forbidden army. There are the front division of the palace, the division of the guard pro-army horse army, and the guard pro-army infantry division, which are collectively called the three ya. In the late Tang Dynasty, it was customary to call the pro-soldiers of the feudal town as the tooth (ya) soldiers, and most of the emperors from the five dynasties to the Song Dynasty were to seize the throne from the feudal town, so they were called the three ya. The prefects of the three yas are called the palace marshal, the horse marshal, and the step marshal, collectively called the three marshals.

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the guards and pro-military divisions were divided into horse military divisions and infantry military divisions, forming three ya, each with a capital commander, a deputy commander and a duyu marquis, a total of nine members, as the commander of the three ya. The Sanya has jurisdiction over the forbidden army of the whole country, and the guards and horses and infantry divisions are still nominally in charge of the Xiang army in various places. In the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council presided over by Wenchen and the Sanya were used to contain each other, and the military was controlled by civil affairs, and the Sanya unified part of the military forces in order to check each other, and its purpose was to improve and consolidate the imperial power and prevent the Wufu Mutiny.

The position of the three yas is extremely important, not only to contain the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty with the Privy Council, but also to contain the palace division and the imperial city division to ensure the safety of the palace.

Gao Yu has followed Zhao Ji for 20 years and has been loyal before, so Zhao Ji let Gao Yu take charge of the Sanya as a lieutenant, one is to fancy his loyalty, and the other is because Gao Yu and Tong Guan are not in harmony, which can play a role in containing each other.

Now that Gao Yu has been beheaded, the three yamen have no leader, and the various factions in the DPRK and China are hot on this position.

Liang Shicheng cast an inquiring glance at Zhao Ji, and then asked, "Cai Fuyin, who do you recommend?" ”

Cai Mao said urgently: "The ministers recommended Taifu Yang Jian, one of whom has followed the official family for many years and is loyal; The second Taifu has the experience of leading the Imperial City Division, quite meritorious, and now he is in charge of the three ya, Weichen believes that if the Taifu is in charge of the three ya, the Beijing forbidden army will have a new look, and please think about it. ”

Laugh at~

Before the words fell, a loud sneer came out from the crowd in front of him, and Liang Shicheng above the court heard it clearly.

Liang Shicheng raised his head, and asked in a cold voice in the direction where the sneer came out: "Jin Shangshu, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you know the etiquette of the court best, why are you laughing?" ”

The sneer was none other than Jin Chongyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who heard Liang Shicheng's question, and immediately came out of the crowd, and said loudly: "I'm laughing at me, is there really no one in the Great Song Dynasty, and the forbidden army of the whole country must be controlled by a group of eggless eunuchs?" ”

In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar.

This sentence has offended too many people.

Liang Shicheng was gloomy by nature, although he had scolded Jin Chongyue's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, his face was still silent, as if he hadn't heard this sentence.

As for Tong Guan...... He is no longer a eunuch, he just pretends to be angry, and his heart is very calm.

The most uncalm is Yang Jian, a dignified person, who was so insulted by Jin Chongyue, he was so angry that he burst into smoke, jumped out and pointed at Jin Chongyue and scolded: "You old horseman, why are you scolding?" ”

However, Jin Chongyue was originally the master of the soft and hard schools, and the Song Dynasty has always had a very high status of scholars, known as the official family and scholars to share the world, Jin Chongyue is one of the representatives of the Qing school, Zhongyuan You Wuchen Li Changning Bang Jinshi, regarded as the leader of the Qing school of scholars, from the bottom of his heart, he looks down on Yang Jian, Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng and others, and his personality is straightforward, where do you care about the face of a few eunuchs.

Jin Chongyue snorted coldly and said: "Eunuchs are not people, how can the old man ever scold people?" ”

This stubborn old man, this time he is on the same page with the eunuchs......

At this moment, Yang Jian was already furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up to do a big job, but fortunately the person next to him was holding him down. Even Liang Shicheng, who had always been moody, was angry, his eyes were murderous, and his hands trembled slightly.

At this time, Zhao Ji finally spoke: "Lao Jin, above the court, Hugh is rude!" ”

Jin Chongyue snorted coldly and didn't make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, another person stepped forward, broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and said forward: "The minister recommended the old slave to recommend Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the Baoxin Army and the deputy commander of the Ma Army, who is in charge of the Sanya, this person has been in the army for a long time, brave and good at fighting, if the Sanya Forbidden Army can be rectified, why worry about the Jingshi?" ”

Everyone looked closely, but it was Shaozai Wang Huang.

Without waiting for Liang Shicheng to answer, Jin Chongyue on the side couldn't help it anymore, and sneered: "I said that although Tong Shuxiang's roots are gone, his ambition has grown, who doesn't know that Liu Yanqing is Tong Shuxiang's confidant, if Liu Yanqing controls the Sanya Forbidden Army, wouldn't all the world's military horses fall under Tong Shuxiang's command?" ”

Tong Guan suddenly lay down the gun, couldn't help but be furious, pointed at Jin Chongyue and was about to scold, but suddenly remembered something, and finally didn't say anything.

He is rooted now, and the reaction to being ridiculed by Lao Jin is not as fierce as Yang Jian, this Lao Jin is crazy today to catch whoever bites whom, and he doesn't bother to clash with him head-on.

But Zhao Ji couldn't see it after all, and asked loudly: "Jin Shangshu, you have repeatedly belittled others, could it be that there is already a candidate in your heart?" ”

Jin Chongyue's expression was solemn, and he said respectfully: "The minister recommended Li Boji, the head of the three ya, and Li Boji is not competent." ”

The Li Boji that Jin Chongyue said in his mouth was Li Gang, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty. Last year, Li Gang asked the imperial court to pay attention to internal and external troubles, which was considered by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong to be out of place and damage to his face as a saint through the ages, and he was imprisoned for taxation in Shaxian County, Nanjianzhou.

As soon as Jin Chongyue's words fell, Zhao Ji frowned, ignored him, and asked His Highness's queue, "Where is Zhao Hao?" ”

Zhao Hao heard Jin Chongyue firing all over the map, and he thought it was quite interesting, grinning, and suddenly heard Zhao Ji call him, and couldn't help but sigh, before he stepped forward: "Weichen is here." ”

Zhao Ji asked in a deep voice: "The candidates of the three yas are very important, who do you recommend?" ”

In an instant, all eyes on the entire hall were focused on Zhao Hao, and the audience was silent and silent.

In the eyes of everyone, this Zhao Hao is really extremely favored, and the candidate for the head of the three ya, I am afraid that Zhao Hao will decide.

Zhao Hao's face changed slightly, his mind turned sharply, and after thinking for a while, he took a long breath: "When the minister first entered Bianliang, he was not very familiar with the hundred officials, so he didn't think of a suitable candidate for the time being. ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers were in an uproar again.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Hao really has no foundation in the DPRK, and he can't even think of a suitable candidate, which is a pity.

Only Cai Jing, with an approving look in his eyes, nodded secretly and praised: "This son is really scheming, not a thing in the pool, if you can make friends, it is not bad." ”

Zhao Ji looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face: "Since this is the case, then we will discuss it after you think about it." ”

Civil and military officials: "......"

Zhao Hao took a deep breath.
