Li Zhen stared at the five generals. Then he continued: "Five of you, go and gather the soldiers of the patrol camp outside the city at once, take all the soldiers back to the city, and obey the orders of your officer. These are extraordinary times, so it's important to be cautious. I think you also know the news that the emperor is seriously ill, this official was ordered to come back to assist the prince, as long as you work hard, it is possible to be released, and it is not impossible for a provincial governor or a governor. ”

When the five generals heard this, their eyes lit up.

They are now only the generals of the patrol battalion, controlling a few soldiers, not even the general soldiers. Now that I have the opportunity to climb Li Zhen, I am naturally willing. The five people knelt down and said loudly, "I am willing to drive for the adults!" ”

The five people saw the benefits and immediately showed their hearts.

A moment ago, they were loyal to the emperor and had to cooperate with Li Zhen. But now because of Li Zhen's few words, things have changed.

Li Zhen laughed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are all very good, you are the best in the army." Time is urgent, go and gather five battalions of soldiers, stationed in the city, and listen to orders at any time. ”

"Yes!"

The five men responded and left immediately.

After a few people left, Zhang Zhiping and Zhang Guodong, the general soldier of the left wing, came. Zhang Guodong's hair and beard are all white, and he is dressed in a clean official robe, but he is a little white. Li Zhen noticed this detail and knew in his heart that the old man in front of him might be a man with clean sleeves, otherwise the dignified left-wing general would never be so shabby.

However, Zhang Guodong is neatly dressed, his face is clean, and the long beard under his chin is meticulously combed, and he is a very clean old man. He strode to the outside of the yamen and saw the heads, and his eyes flashed with the essence of Taoism.

Zhang Guodong saw Mu Shiqi's head, and a flash of happiness flashed in his eyes. After entering the hall, Zhang Guodong and Zhang Zhiping immediately saluted Li Zhen, and Li Zhen asked the two to sit down. Then, Li Zhencai spoke: "Elder Zhang, the situation in the imperial court is treacherous, and Elder Zhang needs to come out to support the situation of the Admiral's Yamen!" ”

Li Zhen didn't hide words, and put forward reuse straight to the point.

Zhang Guodong said humbly: "The lower official is nearly sixty years old, and he is dying of old age, how can he be virtuous!" ”

Li Zhen smiled coldly in his heart, and secretly said that Zhang Guodong was an old fox.

Zhang Zhiping and Zhang Guodong have a teacher-student relationship, and when Zhang Zhiping goes to invite Zhang Guodong, he will definitely explain everything clearly. In particular, Li Zhen explained that he wanted to reuse Zhang Guodong, but Zhang Guodong did not agree, obviously wanting to get more benefits. Li Zhen doesn't believe that Zhang Guodong is willing to die of old age, how difficult is it for a person who has been in a high position for a long time to let go of the power in his hands?

Zhang Guodong is in officialdom, and he is no exception!

Li Zhen's eyes rolled, and he said without being salty or light: "Old Zhang, Yi Xun has already been punished for murdering the prince. This official temporarily took the post of Admiral of Jiumen, but the duties of this official are still in Guangdong, and he holds the two positions of governor and admiral of Guangdong, and was also appointed by the emperor as the minister of the Qin Mission, and went to the camp in Jiangbei to suppress bandits. There are a lot of things in the hands of this official, and he can't keep busy. When the situation between the DPRK and China is stabilized, this official will be relieved of his official post as the commander of the Nine Gates. Looking at the Admiral's Yamen, Zhang Lao can support the overall situation! ”

Although these words were not clearly stated, the meaning of letting Zhang Guodong take over the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates had already been revealed in his words. Zhang Guodong's eyes flickered, and his breathing became cramped.

Admiral of the Nine Gates!

This is an official position that has entered the ranks of first-class officials!

Moreover, the subordinate of the Admiral of the Nine Gates has even greater rights than the main one. Zhang Guodong looked up at Li Zhen and saw Li Zhen staring at him with a smile, obviously seeing through his thoughts. Zhang Guodong rolled his eyes and said: "Lord Li serves the emperor, is loyal to the country, and is a model for my generation. The old man lived a long time, and after listening to Admiral Li's words, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Now that Lord Li values it, he will definitely share his worries for Lord Li. ”

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, the old guy's skin was too thick.

You can say all that.

Zhang Guodong's expression was as usual, he turned his words, looked at Zhang Zhiping beside him, and said, "Lord Li, Mu Shiqi was killed, and the position of the general soldier of the right wing is vacant. This disciple of mine is outstanding in learning, extraordinary in martial arts, and is a well-known good man in the army, and everyone who sees it must be praised. You see, whether to let him serve as the commander-in-chief of the right wing and assist the subordinate in handling things. With him, the Admiral's Yamen will definitely be worry-free. ”

Li Zhen stared at Zhang Guodong and secretly said that Zhang Guodong was an old fox.

He glanced at Zhang Zhiping, and saw Zhang Zhidong looking at Zhang Guodong excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude.

At this time, Li Zhen also admired Zhang Guodong.

not only asked him for rights, but also planned a future for his disciples.

In addition, Zhang Guodong also gave Li Zhen a guarantee that there would be no problems with the Yamen of the Nine Gates. What Li Zhen wanted was for the Nine Commanders Yamen to listen to him and implement his ideas, and he didn't care about the division of power. At Li Zhen's level, he doesn't pay much attention to the power in the yamen, what is needed is to decentralize power and let the people below use it for him.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Elder Zhang made a suggestion, then let Zhang Zhiping take over as the commander-in-chief of the right wing." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhang Guodong and Zhang Zhiping thanked at the same time.

Li Zhen shook his head and continued: "Only Zhang Zhiping and the other two people were not killed today, the rest of the twelve officials who followed Mu Shiqi were all killed, and the rest of the soldiers stationed at the city gate are afraid that they will make trouble." Zhang Lao, you are a left-wing general for many years, and you are familiar with the situation in the yamen, can you tell me who can be qualified for these official positions? You've been in office for many years, is there any way to solve this problem? ”

After saying this, Zhang Guodong became even more excited.

Li Zhen had just given a right-wing general soldier, and now he had given him countless official positions in the Admiral's Yamen. With these official positions, Zhang Guodong arranged his protégés and almost controlled the entire Admiral Yamen.

Zhang Guodong also understands that Li Zhen can give it to him, and he can also take it back.

Zhang Guodong only got the opportunity to soar when he was old, so he naturally wouldn't let it go. He had already made up his mind to follow Li Zhen, so his tone became more and more respectful, and he said humbly: "Lord Hui, it is not difficult to stabilize the Admiral's Yamen. As long as it takes an hour, Xia Guan can eliminate the previous influence. ”

Li Zhen laughed and said, "Okay, you and Zhang Zhiping will deal with it together." The official needs to immediately control the nine gates of the inner city, and all officials who want to enter the city must first check their identity and then report to the official. Wait for the official to give the order, and then let it go. It's a death command, no matter who it is, it's going to do it. If anyone trespasses, the magistrate will allow you to cut it first. ”

"Yes!"

After Zhang Guodong heard this, he left with Zhang Zhiping.

The two left the Admiral's Yamen, Zhang Zhiping supported Zhang Guodong and said, "Teacher, Master Li has given us such a big right, what do you say is going on?" ”

Although Zhang Zhiping guessed something, he didn't understand it and didn't think it through.

Zhang Guodong said with a smile: "If the emperor is going to be changed, martial law will definitely be imposed in the city." This was the case with the original Daoguang Emperor, and the same is true when the current Xianfeng Emperor succeeded to the throne. The emperor is terminally ill, and the crown prince may succeed to the throne at any time, so martial law will be imposed. Li Zhen's methods are very domineering, and he is also very scheming. Let's follow him, and we won't suffer. The old man is old, and it is worth dying for a few years! At the same time, it can also allow you to come out and take charge of yourself, and you will not lose money! ”

Zhang Zhiping was grateful and helped Zhang Guodong to walk out.
