Chapter 727: Southern Officer Corps

"Hu ......" withdrew from the Senior Administration Palace, Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the chamberlain beside him, as if he had passed a level. The prime minister should be on the front line, and he said that he did not need to participate in politics, which ...... Alas. ”

"Official, where are you going now?" The chamberlain asked.

Zhao Jin stood in place, not knowing where to go for a while. In the past, if there was something urgent, he should go to the Hanging Arch Hall at this time and discuss with the minister, but it doesn't seem to be this today, so ......

"Go to the 'Qinzheng Hall'." Zhao Jindao. At that moment, he drove the Qinzheng Hall, and when he arrived there, the emperor stood in front of the hall and looked up at the plaque inscribed by his grandfather Huizong Zhao Ji, and then stepped into the hall. Everything here still maintains the appearance of the first emperor Suzong during his lifetime, the pen and inkstone he used, the chair he sat on, and the slightest thing has not moved. The books he had read before had been neatly tidied up, and even the paintings hanging on the walls seemed to have been carefully wiped.

Zhao Jin looked at all this, as if he was looking for the shadow left by his brother in this hall. During Zhao Chen's reign, in addition to sleeping, a considerable part of the time may have been spent in this "Qinzheng Hall". Zhao Jin noticed that the edge of the desk had worn off the paint, and it was not difficult to imagine how many days the first emperor was here to review the manuscript.

"I want to build a cabinet to collect the anthology of my ancestors, you remember, and discuss it with the ministers when the time comes." For a long time, Zhao Jin spoke.

The waiter said.

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in the room, startling the master and servant. The man walked over quickly, and before he could see his appearance clearly, he had already fallen to the ground, and said, "I don't know that the official family is here, and it is guilty of disturbing the holy car." ”

Zhao Jin saw that he was dressed, and he was also a lieutenant, but he was only of a higher grade, so he asked, "Who are you?" Why here? ”

Hearing the emperor's question, the lieutenant raised his head slightly and replied: "The slave is the inner servant of the province, Shen Xue." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be you, you are ...... in this 'Qinzheng Hall'" Zhao Jin asked.

"The minions are cleaning up here, and they don't want to be here." Shen Ze replied. He began to follow the first emperor Zhao Chen from the East Palace period, and now as soon as the first emperor leaves, he has lost his backer. However, this person also remembers the old favor of the first emperor, and comes to the "Qinzheng Hall" from time to time to clean and tidy up, which can be regarded as a remembrance of the old master.

"Flat, it's rare that you still have this heart." Zhao Jindao. He didn't have any special impression of Shen Ze, he only knew that he was a person who was very trusted by his first brother when he was alive, and in his memory, it seemed that every time he saw the imperial brother, this person was by his side.

Shen Ze got up and stood aside. Zhao Jin walked slowly in the hall, and when he arrived at the chair where Zhao Chen was sitting, he seemed to want to go over and sit down, but his hand was already on the arm of the chair, and the movement stopped. Eventually, he let go of his chair and looked at the desk with his hand.

The first emperor Zhao Chen was indeed a diligent emperor, even if he had a lot of opportunities, he always took time. For example, the book in the emperor's hand now has notes written by the emperor. However, if you look closely, it seems to be wrong, because the handwriting of two people is obvious. Seeing this situation, Zhao Guanjia asked: "The first emperor, why are there two kinds of handwriting?" ”

"When I went back to the official house, every time the emperor read it, he also taught the slaves some and ordered the slaves to write down their experiences. It's just that the talent is dull and has failed the expectations of the emperor. Shen Ze replied.

"Are you literate?" Zhao Jin asked in surprise.

"Yes, the slave studied for a few years before entering the palace, and often accompanied the first emperor when he was in the East Palace." Shen Ze replied.

Zhao Jin thought secretly when he heard this, he used to visit the emperor in Deokshou Palace, and he once heard his father complain, saying that the imperial brother trusted the eunuchs too much, and even handled some government affairs with eunuchs. Think of such a big country, how many things happen every day? Even if the imperial brother does some fake eunuchs, in the end, he will become ill and die young, will he be the same?

I feel a headache when I think about it, and I am not in the mood to remember my deceased brother at the moment, as soon as I put this book away, I was going to leave Qinzheng Hall, and when I was about to go out, he turned around and asked: "Shen Ze, where are you working now?" ”

"Slave, no position for the time being." Shen Ze replied truthfully.

"Oh......" Zhao Jin responded, didn't say anything, and left directly.

Xingyuan Mansion, Sichuan Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division.

Xiao Duolu saw Xu Wei come out, so he quickly got up and went forward, and said very respectfully: "I have seen King Xu Jun." ”

Xu Wei returned the salute and stretched out his hand and said, "Sit, Marshal Xiao knows about the Jurchens gathering in the Western Three Prefectures?" ”

"I'm here for this." Xiao Duolu didn't sit down and said.

"Oh? How so? Xu Wei also sat on the main seat and asked casually.

"What I mean, regardless of whether the Jurchens intervene or not, it is imperative to cut the summer! Even if the gold thieves pour the country's troops here, the soldiers of Daliao will also rise up to fight! Xiao Duolu said in an unquestionable tone.

Xu Wei admires this very much. Xiao Lira, or the Khitans, did it until he died, without looking ahead or backward, without fear.

"However, when I was leaving, my father also explained again and again, asking me to meet the king in person, and asked the Western Army not to have any worries. The party members are already declining, but they are just fighting prisoners and beasts. As long as it sweeps away Western Xia, it is like cutting off the arm of a gold thief! This is really beneficial to the great cause of the anti-gold counteroffensive of the two dynasties! Xiao Duolu's words revealed that the Khitans were still a little uneasy about the Song people. Because they know that the Southern Dynasty is a role of opportunism and rudder when the wind blows.

"Concerns?" Ma Kuo laughed. "The golden thief is still under the onslaught of the Western Army, and the army is defeated like a mountain, let alone the Western thief? Also, sweeping away Western Xia is like breaking a golden arm? Marshal Xiao is only afraid of promoting the party? They're just golden eagle dogs. ”

"So? Will the Western Army raise troops as scheduled and join forces with us to attack the summer? Xiao Duolu didn't ask.

"The joint war against Xia was approved by the imperial court, and I will practice what I say, please rest assured of this!" Xu Weilang said. "When are you going to send troops?"

Xiao Duolu didn't show joy on his face, and said loudly: "I really don't dare to hide it from the king, when I entered Shaanxi, the army had already set off!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wei raised his hand to signal him to silence, and then said to Ma Kuo: "Pass my order, and the Jingyuan army will immediately open the north!" At this point, he turned to Xiao Duolu with a smile. Fight side by side with the Khitan brothers! ”

"Order!" Ma Kuo replied sharply, without the slightest ambiguity, and the horse got up and went out.

Xiao Duolu was not very happy, Huo Ran got up, and said to Xu Weiyi: "The king is full of admiration!" ”

"I said that the Great Song Dynasty will do what it says!" Xu Wei said with a smile. "Anything else?"

"How? The king is busy? Xiao Duolu didn't ask.

"I really have something important to do today." Xu Weidao.

"The king just goes and gets busy, I'll ......" Xiao Duolu was not very considerate. He knew that Xu Wei was in charge of the military and political power in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he was a prince, and he was entangled in all things, so it was good to be able to see you.

"Hey, you and I have been going back and forth for many years, and we are not outsiders, how polite are you? Let's go to the pavilion first, I'll have two drinks with you when I'm empty, and I'll finally come here, don't be in a hurry. Xu Wei stood up as he spoke.

Zhang Jun next to him also said: "What the king said is very true, the envoy is here, there is no need to rush to leave, it is always necessary to coil for two days, let us do our best to the friendship of the landlord." King, if not, I'll accompany ......."

"It's not the first time he's here, and I'm afraid he won't know where the road is. You come with me. After Xu Wei finished speaking, he stopped making noise, nodded at the guests, and walked out. Xiao Duolu didn't fall and followed behind, looking at the back of the hurried away and sighing, this person can really be described as the Northwest Optimus Pillar of the Great Song Dynasty. No wonder Emperor Daliao also sighed after hearing the recent report that he couldn't wait to see Xu Wei.

Why are you in such a hurry? It turned out that the middle- and lower-level officers selected from the units under the four Xuanfu Divisions of Liangzhejiang, Huaixi, Jiangxi, and Jinghu had already arrived at Xingyuan Mansion. In fact, with these character ranks, there is no need for him to meet him in person.

It's just that Zijin Hu knows that this is an important military policy implemented by his sixth brother, so he has to pay attention to it. To do his own thing, this is a bit of a show. Think about it, can the situation be the same in the northwest and in the south? At this stage, the Western Army is fighting, and the field battle is basically the plain area, and with the mobility and assault power of the heavy cavalry, the corpses are all over the field and rivers of blood are flowing. What does this give the army of the South to learn from? It's not that I despise the Southern Army, because the conditions are fundamentally different. Now the Western Army is tens of thousands of cavalry alone, and there are three Xuanfu Divisions in the south plus one Huaixi Pacification Division, which division has more than 10,000 horse troops? However, since people are here, you can't go through the motions and engage in formalities, Xu Wei plans to put these officers in the army and let them feel it for themselves.

Xu Wei and Zhang Jun, with several civil and military adjutants, rode horses and walked unhurriedly in Xingyuan City. Is there any one of the people of the city who does not know him? Seeing the incomparably sweaty horse from afar, he retreated to the side of the street, and then his eyes kept moving with the group of people.

Xu Wei's thirty-six-year-old man, many years of military career, not only forged his perseverance character, but also made him exude a male breath from head to toe. His dark skin was as iron as steel, his eyes were as sharp as fire, and even when he was riding on horseback, his spine was straight! Although he is no longer the white-faced boy in Xujiazhuang, Xiajin County, the famous mansion, as long as he appears on Xingyuan Street, no matter how beautiful everyone is, the little jasper, whether it is a yellow flower girl who is not out of the pavilion, or a beautiful young woman who is a mother, those eyes are staring at him, and they can't wait to see off a piece of his meat.

The men's eyes were much simpler, and there was only awe in their eyes......

"The king wants to meet them, and summon them to the Xuanfu Division, why do you want to come in person?" Zhang Jun never understood, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Deyuan doesn't know, first, since the imperial court has done this, we in Sichuan and Shaanxi can't go through the motions, I came in person to express my attention; Second, I also want to see what kind of goods are here, and if there are some inconsistencies, it will save a waste of time. Xu Wei explained.

"You can see it when you go to the pavilion?" Zhang Jun wondered.

"When did they arrive?" Xu Wei asked rhetorically.

"Yesterday, yes, I arrived yesterday at noon." Zhang Jun replied.

"Well, one day, that's enough to see. I'll make a bet with you, we'll go to the pavilion now, and it's good to see half of the people, believe it or not? Xu Wei said with a smile.

Zhang Jun didn't seem to believe it, and said with a smile: "What are you betting on?" ”

Xu Wei raised his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "My son is beginning to read the number, you can write well, if you lose, please write a notebook for my son, don't bother, one, two, three, four, and so on." ”

"It's a deal!" Zhang Jun said with a smile.

While talking, the group came to the pavilion. The pavilion is a guest house in later generations, Xingyuan Mansion is a big city, so the scale of the pavilion is also large, in addition to the general travel officials to stay, to a certain level, you can also live in an independent courtyard. Most of the people who came to Sichuan and Shaanxi this time were middle and lower-level military attachés, so except for the leader, the others were not at the level, so they were not afraid that there would be enough rooms.

Xu Wei wears a purple regular clothes, and anyone who knows a little bit of the rules of officialdom knows who is coming at a glance. So as soon as he appeared, the officials in the pavilion and the officials who were sitting and gossiping in the hall got up one after another and wanted to gather around to greet him. Xu Wei raised the horsewhip in his hand and said loudly: "Don't be formal, do what you should do." ”

As soon as he said this, the person who had already taken a step took it back again, and muttered in his heart, King Xu Jun is in a panic? What do you want to do when you have nothing to do? I haven't heard that the imperial court has sent any important officials down?

When Yi Cheng heard the news, he was already running too quickly, and he almost didn't fall when he crossed the threshold, and greeted in a panic: "King, Senator Zhang, chiefs, I don't know if this is ......"

As soon as Xu Wei beckoned, the post said, and whispered forward, listening attentively, only to hear King Xu Jun say: "Have all the officials who arrived yesterday stayed?" ”

"All are here, all are there, there are thirty-six people in total, and the villains are all registered, does the king want to see it?" Yi Cheng asked.

"That's not necessary, you can bring it. Let me see...... There are many people in this hall, I will go to the back yard, and you will send people to tell these thirty-six horses to assemble in the courtyard at once, and tell them, this is my military order! Go! Xu Wei commanded.

When Yi Cheng heard this, he held his head with one hand, lifted the hem of his clothes with the other, and flew backwards. Xu Wei touched Zhang Jun and said with a smile: "Deyuan, go and watch the show." Then he led a group of officials through the front hall to the empty courtyard at the back.

At this time, the market was already lively, but the courtyard seemed to be extremely quiet, not at all like more than 30 rough soldiers living in it.

Xu Wei, Zhang Jun and others went to the courtyard to pestle, only to see the officials of the pavilion running down, slamming the door, shouting: "King Xu Jun has arrived!" King Xu Jun has arrived! ”

A moment later, someone rushed to the door, leaned on the railing of the building and looked down, and as long as he saw the purple body, he ran down without saying a word; The downstairs is directly pounced, standing upright in the courtyard. Zhang Jun found that several people in the building rushed out to take a look without even wearing their coats, and when they saw that this was the case, they went back to put on their clothes, put on their heads, and rushed to come in a hurry, and the whole yard was a mess!

Finally, those who arrived at the courtyard were assembled, and after counting, there were twenty-three people in all. Seeing this, Zhang Jun smiled and said, "The king lost." ”

"What's the hurry? Wait and see. Xu Wei laughed and said to the adjutant beside him, "Except for the military attache sent by the Fourth Division, let them go back irrelevantly." ”

A preparation envoy went forward and said loudly: "The four divisions of Liangzhejiang, Jiangxi, Jinghu, and Huaixi sent officers to stay, and the rest, please take care of yourself!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a number of disheveled officials left the team with their heads drooped. In front of everyone's eyes, of course they didn't dare to complain, but they complained in their hearts, is there anything wrong? King Xu Jun, what kind of drama is this singing?

Zhang Jun secretly counted, and there were nine people left, and only fourteen remained! Far less than half! That's weird, where are the other people? Why don't you go out shopping early in the morning?

The remaining fourteen people, all of whom were also from the army, all held their backs straight, their eyes were level, and they were motionless. Xu Wei didn't speak, and walked slowly over with a horsewhip, looking at the officers one by one. Because of the suddenness of the incident and the urgency of time, many people are disheveled, either the official robe is not worn well, or the hood is not worn properly, the most outrageous thing is that there are still people who wear their boots backwards and left! Just look at it and get up!

Xu Wei finally stopped in front of a young officer, who was about twenty years old and less than seven feet tall, but the whole person looked sturdy. The shoulders were wide and the waist was thin, and the green official robe was stretched up. From head to toe, tidy up, you can't see the slightest carelessness.

The forehead is wide, the nose is straight, the mouth is large, the lips are thick, and the eyes are bright and heroic. Xu Wei saw that he was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, so he said, "Hand." ”

When the officer heard this, he neatly stretched out his two hands, and Xu Wei looked at it, which hand was this, it was clearly two iron rakes! Xu Wei touched it, and the calluses on that side were straight to his hands.

"Name, military status, position." Xu Wei asked coldly.

"Humble Yue Yun, subordinate to the Jinghu Xuanfu Division, deputy commander of the left wing of the Shenwu Rear Army!" The young officer replied loudly. Xu Wei suddenly realized, no wonder it looked familiar, it turned out to be Yue Fei Yue Pengju's son, and he had seen him before. Although he is the son of an old man, it is inconvenient to say anything more on this occasion, Xu Wei nodded and walked away.

Xu Wei looked at a few more familiar faces in the team. Among them are the children of the Zhe family, and there is also a general of Li Xianzhong in Huaixi, whom he had seen when he followed Li Xianzhong back to China in the past. There is no way, Xu Wei's acquaintances can be said to be all over the army. Han Shizhong of Jinghu, he already knew each other when he went out of the first war of the Daimyo's Mansion, Yue Fei didn't say it, another important general in Jinghu, Liu Yan, also served under him for a short time, at that time, Chang Jiejun was like a rat crossing the street because of Tong Guan, and he relied on him to take him in; Jiangxi Zhejia family, from grandfather to grandson, who doesn't know him? Huaixi Li Xianzhong, was recommended by him, although the two brothers Liu Guangguo and Liu Guangyuan have never met, but Liu Guangshi, the second brother of the Liu family, is now Huan Qingshuai under him, and it is said that his cousin He Ying married Liu Guangyuan; There are only two Zhejiang Zhao Dian, although he was one of the commanders of the Western Army in the past,
