Chapter 605: Privy Council Acceptance
"I hope that the nobles will wait for a while, and the official will repair his appearance a little and greet the holy decree!" Lotte hurriedly said loudly, and then instructed Shakuchi outward, "Shakuchi hurry up and prepare incense, fire, candles and other related things, don't be rude and lazy!" ”
It's not the first time that Lotte has received the order.,Shakuchi answered and hurriedly went out to prepare for the order.。 Immediately, Lotte set his eyes on Princess Lando, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this official has gone outside to receive the order!" ”
While dealing with Princess Lando, Lotte was surprised in his heart, at this time, Huizong Zhao Ji gave himself a holy decree to stay in the northwest. When Song Xia started the war, Lotte didn't want to stay in the northwest, with the courage of Liu Fa and Seed Master Dao, plus the army had gunpowder and other sharp weapons, it was not difficult to destroy Western Xia.
Judging from the standards of later generations, Princess Lando is still a minor daughter's family, growing up in the deep palace since childhood, naturally not seen the wind and waves, at this moment Princess Lando was stunned by Lotte, but still made teeth and claws, hated and said to Lotte: "If you dare to play any tricks, this knife in the hands of this palace can't spare you!" ”
After saying that, Princess Landor put down the knife in her hand. Princess Lando is really afraid in her heart, if it is what Lotte said, originally the relationship between Da Song and Da Xia was only tense, if it was really because she killed Lotte, and caused Da Song and Da Xia to meet each other, she was tantamount to a sinner in Da Xia.
"Little girl, it's far worse than you!" Seeing that Princess Lando had obviously been tricked in by herself, Lotte smiled in her heart, but her face was still gloomy: "This official is the courtier of the Great Song Dynasty and the son-in-law of Great Xia, if the Great Song Dynasty and Great Xia start a war, won't the official be unpleasant inside and out!" ”
After all, she is a little girl who has never been in the world, and when Princess Landor saw Lotte say this, she became more and more afraid in her heart, and put away the steel knife in her hand.
……
calmly walked out of the house, but at the moment when the door was closed, beads of sweat dripped from Lotte's forehead, and the clothes on his back were stuck to his back, and even the urine in the crotch of his legs was almost unbearable.
I have the experience of greeting the order, and the shakuchi is familiar with the road, and the things that greet the order will be prepared quickly.
On the day of the assassination of the seed master, Tong Guan followed Dong Yun's advice, kept Lotte, and sent an urgent gold plate to Biandu. Based on the round-trip distance from Weizhou to Biandu, it takes six days to come and go, and naturally there will be no eunuch from Biandu, and this little eunuch is naturally waiting by Tong Guan's side.
Tong Guan ordered this little eunuch to pass on the decree, and there was another layer of intention, Lotte understood very well in his heart, Tong Guan had the intention of deterring himself.
Weizhou State Mansion, the main hall where Lotte lives. The little eunuch who delivered the decree held the edict in his hand and made it.
Lotte and Wu Song, Xu Jiang, Shakuchi, Tu Si and others who were waiting next to him also followed Lotte to listen to the order.
This little eunuch is obviously the most favored little chamberlain beside Tong Guan, and it is the first time he has announced the decree, and he reads in a voice like a castrated little rooster: "Playing the heavens, the emperor said: Loyal ministers Bingcheng Longsha, bearing the strength of Qiankun; The virtuous body resists the waves, and the chastity of heaven and earth ......"
The first paragraph of nonsense on the holy decree had to be listened to if you didn't want to listen to it, until when you heard your own name, Le Tian was engrossed.
"Erzhong Shushe is Lotte, and he is added to the Privy Council, and he is sent to fill the west room of the river, and temporarily serves in the northwest with the six roadside children......"
What the hell is the Privy Council? What the hell is the Chachong Hexi Room? Listening to the words of the holy decree, a big question mark popped up in Lotte's mind, the official position of the Privy Council is much more scary than that of the Zhongshushe, but the Privy Council is only an official position of the fifth grade, which does not match the identity of his official position of the fourth grade, and the difference is not on the table.
Other people's rewards are upward, how can it become a downward seal when it comes to itself, although it is not the official position of the scholar in his own house.
However, Lotte soon understood what this Privy Council meant to him, this was Zhao Ji's intention to involve himself in the military affairs of the northwest, but when he thought of serving under Tong Guan, Lotte couldn't help but have a big head.
The little eunuch left after reading the holy decree, and Wu Song, Shakuqi, and Tu Si hurriedly came up and complimented: "Congratulations to the official!" ”
Hearing this, Lotte smiled bitterly.
Wu Song and Shakuchi didn't know much about the official ranks, but when they saw Lotte like this, they immediately felt that Lotte didn't seem to be satisfied.
This is Xu Jiang to Lotte and said: "Lord Zhongshu should not be helpless, although this Privy Council is a grade lower than the Zhongshu Sheren, but it is also a celebrity waiting by the side of the Son of Heaven, and the adult has two positions, which is enviable." ”
Tu Si asked puzzledly: "Lord Xu, the official of my family is a fourth-rank official, and now His Majesty has added a fifth-grade official position, which seems to be a little unreasonable?" ”
"The Privy Council is appointed to be in charge of the internal affairs of the Privy Council, and to examine the merits and demerits of officials below the level of the Privy Council, and their replacement." General Xu replied, and then said: "However, when the Son of Heaven is in the Chongzheng Palace, when he deals with government affairs, reviews the forbidden army warriors, and receives foreign envoys and the leaders of a small number of people in China, the Lord Cheng Zhi must stand on the side, perform as he goes, or take the decree to confer the relevant yamen, and this holy family is no less than half a point less than the Zhongshu Sheren." ”
"According to Lord Xu's words, Your Majesty has sealed the Privy Council of my family officials to show his holy grace." Tu Si understood, and then asked puzzledly: "But what does it mean to charge the Hexi Room?" ”
As an official of the Imperial City Division, General Xu naturally understands the official dynasty of this dynasty: "In the early years of this dynasty, the Privy Council had four rooms: soldiers, officials, households, and ceremonies. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng in the Shenzong Dynasty, it was increased to ten rooms, and then two rooms were added, for a total of twelve rooms. The Privy Council Hexi Road Fang is in charge of Shaanxi Road, Lin, Fu, Feng, Lan, Shi, Xizhou, Baode military officials, and Western Border Guards and Fan officials. ”
Shakuchi couldn't help but get excited: "Lord Xu means that the imperial court intends to put officials in charge ......"
"It's just a false job!" Lotte waved his hand.
……
"Xiaguan Lotte has seen Tong Shuai!"
After getting the holy decree, Lotte had to come to Tong Guan's Shuai Mansion to meet Lotte, after all, the holy decree was written in black and yellow that he would be controlled by Tong Guan.
Tong Guan didn't see Lotte directly, but just sat behind the curtain and met with Lotte, hummed softly and nodded.
Through the light veil of the curtain, how can it block Lotte's sight, peeking into the curtain to see the luck, through the curtain, the sky can still see the scars and bruises on Tong Guan.
As the saying goes, people have passed the afternoon after thirty days, and now Tong Guan has been nearly seventy years old, that is, there are good medicines and good doctors, but due to physical limitations, the flesh wounds that were assassinated some time ago are not as good as fast, and when he met Lotte, Tong Guan had to be separated by a layer of gauze because of his majesty.
Coughing lightly twice, Tong Guan deliberately concealed his embarrassment and said: "Ben Shuai has suffered a little cold in the past few days, and he can't see the wind, so he can't see Lord Le." ”
Who wouldn't be an official in the officialdom and make a false accusation, Lotte said: "Tong Shuai has been in the northwest for a long time, which makes the summer thief timid, and he will inevitably hurt his body when he works hard for state affairs, and I hope that Tong Shuai will take care of his family and country!" ”
When he said this, Lotte himself felt disgusted, but he was restrained by Tong Guan at this time, so he had to be careful.
Tong Guan was still very useful to Lotte's sycophants, and then said: "Take over Your Majesty's holy decree!" ”
"Xiaguan took it!" Lotte replied.
Tong Guan continued: "Your Majesty ordered you to stay in the northwest and return to Ben Shuai's control, so Ben Shuai wants to put you under the command of Liu Yanqing, who is appeased by Yan Yan Road, what do you think?" ”
Hearing Tong Guan say this, Lotte obviously understood, although the official decree had not been issued, the government and the opposition in Biandu had already reached an agreement on the matter of destroying Xia, so they had to issue a decree to start an army to fight.
Immediately Lotte was stunned again, Liu Yanqing had naturally heard of the name, not only Liu Yanqing but also Liu Yanqing's son Liu Guangshi, Lotte had also heard of it. History records that Liu Yanqing is a general, heroic and brave, several from the western expedition, and has military exploits, this person can abide by military orders when fighting, but his character is timid, and his speculative tendency is serious, and he is suitable for fighting a good fight.
Liu Yanqing's son is Liu Guangshi, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, but Liu Guangshi's reputation is even worse, he can neither fight nor defend, and he can fight the peasant army.
Liu Guangshi has the merit of King Qin, and the position of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty is not his turn, Song Shi Yunqi: 'The master of Qin Hui and Qin Hui, plotting to kill Yue Fei, although he has the achievements of King Qin, but he can not defend the Yue, and abandon the four Ming, and there are many losses. He attached himself to the lord of the juniper, murdered Yue Fei, and preserved the wealth. Zhu Xi said: "Guangshi was greedy for money and lust at that time, which was incomparable, and the military and government were extremely lax ......"; Ming's "Twenty-five Other History" Yun Qi's "Guangshi is the most advanced among the generals, unable to control the army, and unwilling to serve the country." ’
I didn't expect that I would go to work under such a strange father and son, but Lotte could refuse, so I had to say: "The lower officials are arranged by Tong Shuai." ”
Hearing that Lotte did not refuse, Tong Guan nodded and said, "I really told you, Your Majesty intends to destroy Xia, what does Lord Le think of this?" ”
Lotte said in a heavy tone: "Lingxia has been my hometown of China since the pre-Qin period, so I naturally take it!" ”
Tong Guan then asked: "Zhenwu and Gai Zhu have fought several battles, Lord Le has made great contributions, which shows that there are talented generals, in the opinion of Lord Le, when is it appropriate for my Great Song Dynasty to send troops, and how should I use them?" ”
Without thinking that Tong Guan would ask himself these questions, Lotte thought for a moment and said: "The strategic deployment of the battle of the summer should be made by the marshal and the Privy Council, and the lower officials really dare not discuss it. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Tong Guan waved his hand and said: "This official just wants to know how Master Le conceives this strategy in his heart, and whether it can be used as a reference!" ”
"Since Tong Guan said this, the lower officials will be ugly!" Lotte said: "Xia Guan believes that this summer can copy the route and process of the five-way summer war during the Shenzong Dynasty. ”
"Five-way Vaxia?" Listening to Lotte's words, Tong Guan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Through the gauze curtain, Lotte could vaguely see Tong Guan's expression, and then said: "Shenzong Dynasty attacked Xia on five roads, and my Great Song Dynasty has already gone to Lingzhou City, and the Xia Army of Lingzhou City has not even closed the city pass, and was beheaded by Liu Changzuo's former army commander Guo Cheng Four or five hundred people, if it were not for Gao Zunyu to stop the attack, Lingzhou would have been conquered by my Great Song Dynasty, and then it would not be defeated and retreat due to logistics supplies, which is embarrassing!" ”
Tong Guan shook his head: "Now that it's September, Lingxia is a bitter cold place in the northwest, and it is inconvenient to march and fight in winter!" ”
Although Tong Guan is a traitorous eunuch, he is not without trouble, and he also has two times to lead troops to fight.
Lotte said: "The way of the other, the other body!" ”
"What do you mean?" Tong Guan was puzzled.
Lotte said: "In that year, the Xia army built a seven-level embankment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River to store water, and then broke the embankment to release water, so that the river rushed into my Great Song military camp. ”
