Chapter 245: Ups and Downs (5)
Mi Dechao didn't know why he died until he died, which was related to his city government, and compared with the princes above the court, he was useless except that he was more favored by Zhao Guangyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Together with Cao Bin and Pan Mei, who are military generals, I don't know how much smarter than him.
If he dared to stop the Western Xia army from dividing and encircling the Song army after being released by Xia Weibing at the beginning, maybe the situation in Western Xia would not be so bad, even if the Great Song Dynasty was defeated in the end, for the sake of his hard work, Zhao Guangyi and the ministers might not have the heart to kill him.
Or maybe after escaping back to the Great Song Dynasty, he directly admitted his mistake to Zhao Guangyi, and asked himself to die, maybe as long as Zhao Guangyi punished him heavily, the civil officials would not have a hard time with Zhao Guangyi.
Or if he chooses to commit suicide after learning that more than a dozen generals have carried the black pot for him, at least his reputation can be saved, unlike now, not only people are dead, but his reputation is also completely ruined.
It's a pity that facts are facts, there is no ifs in people's wisdom, some people can't achieve anything because they don't have enough ability, and some people don't achieve anything just because they are stupid.
Zhao Guangyi, who returned to the harem, was dripping blood, thinking that the general he had cultivated for more than ten years had fallen, and there was no longer his own descendant in the Great Song Army, Zhao Guangyi was frightened.
Although since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the disputes in the world have stopped, the people have made up their minds, and the civilian officials have been avoiding chaos again, but the soldiers are in the hands of the generals after all, in case someone plots wrong, Zhao Guangyi can't imagine the crisis.
Zhao Ling'er learned that Mi Dechao was dead, and knew that his Li Dai Taozhuang not only did not succeed, but did a disservice, and was afraid that Zhao Guangyi would be angry with him, so he stood next to Zhao Guangyi even more timidly, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.
As soon as Zhao Guangyi saw his appearance, he knew what Zhao Ling'er was thinking, and he had the heart to lose a few words, but thinking of Zhao Linger's thoughtfulness on weekdays, he finally endured it.
"Ling'er, how do you think I should re-establish my lineage in the army?" Zhao Guangyi asked.
"This ......." Zhao Ling'er didn't know what to say, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although the army seems to be harmonious, there are a lot of ways in it, and all kinds of secret forces are intertwined, how can Zhao Guangyi interfere if he wants to?
Among them, although Taizu Zhao Kuangyin has died, but in the southern and northern wars, there are many descendants, and many people still hold important positions in the army, although they are not as high and powerful as Cao Bin and others, but they are also very critical, and the army is inseparable from them, this kind of people naturally have no good impression of Zhao Guangyi, the legendary person who killed Zhao Kuangyin, and naturally can't get close to them on weekdays.
And then there are generals like Pan Mei who are concerned about the Later Zhou, although they are all courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but they take good care of the King of Yunnan, and no one knows if there is a change in the Great Song Dynasty, whether they will protect the Song Dynasty or return to the Zhou.
For this kind of people, Zhao Guangyi has the intention to win them over, but he is afraid that they will turn against him, so they are also respectful and difficult to accept as descendants.
As for veterans such as Cao Bin and Hu Yanzan, they were the people who were officials in the Later Zhou Dynasty with Zhao Kuangyin back then, and even Zhao Kuangyin was commensurate with their brothers back then, and they didn't dare to put on a show after becoming the emperor, how could Zhao Guangyi subdue them?
Besides, even if these three types of people took the initiative to show favor to Zhao Guangyi, how could Zhao Guangyi dare to use them?
With his suspicion, he has already caused everyone to endanger himself, and who of these three types of people rushed to try his tolerance?
Don't think that the Great Song Dynasty military is divided into the Privy Council, the three ya, and the ministers, so that they can really block the connection between the generals and the soldiers, although this military system has the effect of guarding against the rebellion of the generals, but it will have to wait until a few generations later, at this time the Great Song Dynasty has only been founded for decades, Cao Bin and other veterans have not completely died, they have been fighting for many years, and there are countless descendants, but the court cannot do without them, who can completely cut off their contact with the soldiers?
What's more, even if they don't contact the soldiers, aren't the top bosses of those soldiers, centurions, thousand-necks, and partial generals, still Cao Bin's subordinates back then? If Cao Bin and them really have any different intentions, they can pull up a team through these descendants in minutes.
Although the departments controlled by civil officials such as the Privy Council and the Sanya are mainly civilian officials, the so-called art industry has specializations, and there are many military attachés among them, and many of these military attaches are former subordinates of Cao Bin and others, and their tentacles are much longer than imagined.
Therefore, although Cao Bin and other ministers had to rely on the documents of the Privy Council to transfer troops, and they had to go to Sanya to transfer troops, they could still transfer troops and horses in their own way, although some divisions were unknown.
This is also the reason why Zhao Guangyi is bent on controlling part of the military forces, although the military does not see a problem on the surface, the generals are very passive in the face of the vigilance of the emperor and civilian officials, and they are controlled everywhere, and they can even be said to be bullied, but their energy still cannot be underestimated.
It is not difficult to understand why Zhao Guangyi has to keep Yi Dechao, although Cao Bin and others seem to be loyal and pure, not like people who dare to risk the world and not rebel, but if they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what if, what if they really rebel? As the emperor, Zhao Guangyi hopes to prevent such a situation, but it is understandable.
Although standing in the position of the generals, Zhao Guangyi's thoughts are a little chilling, after all, all this is only based on Zhao Guangyi's speculation, and the generals have not done anything out of the ordinary, but from the position of an emperor, his approach cannot be said to be wrong.
It's just that his intelligence is not necessarily much higher than that of Yi Dechao, and the way he uses it is a little petty, so over the years, except for a person with a slight lack of IQ like Mi Dechao, Zhao Guangyi has no other lineage that can be useful, but it has caused Cao Bin and other veterans to dare not speak out.
Zhao Linger has won Zhao Guangyi's trust in the past two years, and he naturally knows the situation of the military well, and knows that Zhao Guangyi's desire to get involved in the military is by no means something that can be solved in one or two years.
Seeing Zhao Guangyi's frowning, Zhao Ling'er had a plan: "Your Majesty, although the minions don't know how to let you get involved in the military, there is a good opportunity to get rid of a person who has been an eyesore for a long time." ”
"Oh? Who is it? Zhao Guangyi asked.
"Zhao Gu."
"It's him!" Zhao Guangyi was surprised.
Soon, Zhao Guangyi understood what Zhao Ling'er meant, the plan of the Western Expedition came from Zhao Gu, since the Western Expedition has failed now and the troops have been lost, should Zhao Gu also be implicated?
Thinking of Zhao Gu's age, Zhao Guangyi barely thought about it, so he nodded and ordered: "This matter is left to you, and you must confirm his charges." ”
