Chapter 0080: Two Phases of Discord
In the evening, Zhang Yuezheng, Li Chuyun, and Xuan Chongwen stayed in the courtyard of the Prefecture Yayi Pavilion, discussing the matter of continuing to crack down on illegal salt. I didn't want Zhang Zhixing to come in with a soldier and say that Li Deliang from Tangzhou had a letter.
Li Chuyun saw that Zhang Yue wanted to read the letter and ask questions, deal with private matters, and got up and retreated with interest. Xuan Chongwen also went to accompany him, he and Li Chuyun had a good conversation, the two of them got along well these days, and they looked a little bit intersecting, Zhang Yue looked at these in his eyes and was happy in his heart.
"What's your name?" Zhang Yue didn't rush to read the letter, and saw that the soldier was vaguely familiar, this was a pro-soldier who stayed in Tangzhou Miyang Restaurant last year, so he was a little impressed.
"His name is Zhou Quanzhi, a native of Hengshui, Jizhou, Li Dutou sent his subordinates back to Tokyo at the beginning of the year, and then returned to Tangzhou, Li Dutou heard that the envoy was transferred to Guanxi, he went south to Yuezhou and walked a trip, where Liu Tingshi and the medicine group practiced and guarded, Commander Yang and Commander Chen are fine, He Ju is still taking care of the industry there and the workshop grange, but now Li Dutou has found some people for him to help him sort out the accounts, and he can manage it himself." This Zhou Quanzhi was only sharp-tongued, and he quickly finished talking about the general matter.
"Go down and have a good rest, come to see me when you return to Tangzhou, make up for you to be in a good position, help Li Deliang take care of Tangzhou's affairs, and then return to the army in the future." Zhang Yue said, tore open the seal of the kraft letter, took out the letter paper and looked at it.
Li Deliang first said that he was in charge of the Tangzhou restaurant and the grange, and then the property of He Ju in Yuezhou, and explained everything one by one. Then he also talked in detail about the affairs of Wang Jinkui in Tanzhou and Liu Yan in Langzhou.
At the beginning of the year, Liu Yan, the soldiers and horses of the Wuping army, went to the top: after the Battle of Tanzhou, the city was almost burned down, and he requested that the Jiedu Government Office be moved to Wuling, Langzhou.
Tanzhou is Wang Jinkui's territory, and Liu Yan didn't dare to stay in Tanzhou for a long time, so he wanted to move the Jiedu Office to Wuling, so as to get rid of Wang Jinkui's constraints.
Emperor Guo Wei agreed to his request, and at the beginning of the year, Li Gu led an edict to the south, and the edict promoted Langzhou to the capital governor's mansion, and the status was above Tanzhou. With Liu Yan as the inspector of the school, the same as the usual affairs, perform the duties of the governor of Langzhou, concurrently serve as the envoy of the Wuping Army, and the envoy of the three divisions of water and land transport, govern the military of Wu'an, Jingjiang and other places, and enter the Pengcheng County Duke.
With Wang Jinkui as the captain of the school, he stabbed the history of Tanzhou and filled the military festival envoy; With He Jingzhen as the captain of the inspection school, he made a history of Guizhou assassination and served as the envoy of the Jingjiang Army; Its subordinate general Zhang Fang served as the assassin of Meizhou and concurrently served as the deputy envoy of the Wuping Army; Zhu Yuanxiu served as the assassin of Huangzhou and concurrently served as the Sima of the Jingjiang Festival. With Zhou Xingfeng leading the history of Jizhou Thorn, the military is full of military festivals and marching Sima.
In mid-February, the Southern Han invaded the Quanzhou, Daozhou, and Yongzhou areas of Hunan. Liu Yan sent He Jingzhen, Zhu Yuanxiu and others to lead troops to meet the army of Liu of the Southern Han Dynasty in Guangzhou, but when they arrived in Tanzhou, their subordinates fled. Wang Jinkui thought that He Jingzhen was derelict in his duty and beheaded him for public display.
In fact, the cat in this is too big, He Jing really set off from Langzhou to lead the troops, and there were no deserters before, as soon as they arrived in Tanzhou, the soldiers began to flee, of course there were Wang Jinkui's small actions inside.
When Liu Tao, the assassin of Yuezhou, heard the news, he hurriedly recalled Yao Chongyu, the deputy envoy of the regimental training who had built a city on the Miluo River, to discuss, and finally decided that Yao Chongyu would lead Shi Shouren, Fang Yucheng, Yang Shouzhen, Chen Yingtai and other four commanders to go south to Tanzhou to investigate the matter. Tanzhou has long been run by Wang Jinkui like an iron bucket, and of course the result is nothing.
However, Wang Jinkui was forced to report to Liu Yan due to the pressure of the drug encounter, saying that He Jingzhen was derelict in his duties, and he had to kill him. After reading the battle report, Liu Yan was speechless for a long time, because He Jingzhen was not his descendant, and the matter was finally over. The contradictions between the two forces have become incompatible, and the two sides are no longer compatible, and they have fallen into the calm before the storm.
Yao Chongyu couldn't be appeased, so he had to lead his troops back to Yuezhou, and at the same time had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he discussed with Liu Tao to expand his troops to ten commanders, stepped up training, and stockpiled money and food to prepare for the next crisis.
Zhang Yue read the letter in one go, considering that Yuezhou is actually an isolated city on the south bank of the Yangtze River, but it is also a very important stronghold, if Yuezhou is lost, it will be equivalent to losing control of the old generals of the Chu army in Hunan.
Immediately put pen to paper and wrote a reply, suggesting that Yao Chongyu take the route of elite soldiers, although the ten commanders are slightly less, but if there is more, Yuezhou money and grain will not be able to bear it. In particular, the training of sailors and warships, as well as water warfare, should be strengthened, otherwise they will still be unable to cope with the possible chaos.
Zhang Yue is here to consider the affairs of Yuezhou, Hunan, and thousands of miles away in Bianliang, Tokyo, the side hall of Jinxiang Palace, which is the place where Emperor Guo Wei daily watches things. He was also discussing the matter of Liu Yan in Hunan with Zhongshu Ling Feng Dao, Zhongshu Shilang Tongping Zhangshi Fan Zhen, Li Gu and other important ministers.
"Wang Jinkui's beheading of He Jingzhen can be said to be a good thing and a bad thing. Because He Jingzhen is also dissatisfied, it is also inappropriate to form a third force, but to a certain extent, it has eased the relationship between Liu Yan and Wang Jinkui, but now that this person is dead, the contradiction between Liu and Wang tends to be white-hot, I am afraid that Liu Tao and Yao Chongyu will not be able to check and balance, and Anzhou will have to give advice when necessary. Fan Zhen thought about it comprehensively, but Feng Dao snorted when he heard it.
"If Li Hongyi's troops in Ruo'an Prefecture took the opportunity to enter Yuezhou, I am afraid that it will be easy to invite God and difficult to send God." Feng Dao is seventy-one years old this year, his hair is almost gray, but his spirit is not bad, if there is no major event, he usually does not go to court, this time he was invited by Guo Wei, and he spoke very politely.
"Li Hongyi is cowardly by nature and may not dare to do this, but if he is replaced by someone else, it is really possible." Guo Wei vetoed, smiled and said, "Let's draw up the purpose!" 300 horses of silk silk were given to Langzhou for military use. ”
"It's so best, continue to stabilize Liu Yan's position, although Wang Jinkui has a lot to think about, he can't do anything for a while!" Li Gu nodded in agreement.
"The matter in Hunan is suspended, and the affairs of Keyan and Qingzhou can no longer be delayed, Zhang Jianwu of Ningzhou and Guo Yanqin of Qingzhou are private, and the candidates for filling the vacancy can be considered one or two. With Zhang Yuequan, he knows the affairs of the Yanzhou military state, and he is based on his former position. As for the candidate for the commander of the Zhangwu Festival, he can be postponed. ”
Le Gui is private, that is, he is removed from his post and escorted to Beijing. Relying on the previous position is to continue to take over the previous position, and Zhang Yue can be regarded as getting his wish. It has been more than 10 days since the news from Yanzhou and Qingzhou arrived in Tokyo, and Guo Wei thought about it for a long time before making such a decision. Although Guo Yanqin is greedy for money, he also pays a lot of tribute to the court, so Guo Wei is tantamount to letting him go.
"The old minister respectfully follows the will of His Majesty, there are two candidates, Ningzhou Assassin Shi will be the prisoner Li Qiong, this person has made a mistake, and he will be punished slightly. In the past, the eldest son of Zhai Guangye, the envoy of the North Court of Xuanhui, the eldest son of Zhai Cong'en of Taichang Temple, was the assassin of Gyeongju, and if His Majesty agreed, the old minister would arrange for the book to be issued. Feng Dao immediately named the candidate.
The rank of supervisor was changed from the third rank, and Li Qiong was transferred to the state assassin from the fourth grade, which was equivalent to degrading the official to the fourth or fifth level; Taichang Temple Cheng Zhai Congen is from the fifth grade, on the contrary, he is promoted to the fifth level.
"Li Qiong is not effective in dealing with nail materials, and the recruitment of workers is not effective, so it is light! Zhai Congen is forty years old, and it is also necessary to let him go out to practice, otherwise it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility. Well...... There is also Du Sixun, the deputy envoy of Gyeongju Defense, who was demoted to the commander of the Yajun Army, and rushed back to be disciplined by Zhecong Nguyen; Liu Jingye, who joined the army, was demoted to Ningzhou Sihu. In addition, Dali Temple sentenced Gao Shaoji to abandon the city, and I was approved! ”
Guo Wei agreed to Feng Dao's nomination, and also approved the Dali Temple to coerce the Gao clan in Yanzhou, plotting to divide the territory, Gao Shaoji killed Li Bin, the observation judge appointed by the court, the final verdict of these three crimes, abandon the city!
"There is a report of the cloud: Wang Xiufeng, who was demoted to Shangzhou Sima, died of illness! Is it graceful? Fan Zhen whispered that he didn't want to mention this matter, but Wang Jun's old department came to the door to ask.
Wang Xiufeng is Wang Jun, who has previously served as a privy envoy, and is in charge of both the Privy Council and the prime minister. In mid-February, he asked to concurrently lead the festival town, and Guo Wei also agreed, and awarded Qingzhou Pinglu Jiedu envoy. Unexpectedly, Wang Jun then came up again and resolutely asked Guo Wei to appoint Yan Jin, a scholar of Duanming Palace, and Chen Guan, a privy direct scholar, to replace Fan Zhen and Li Gu as ministers.
Guo Wei was kind and caressing, and when he left the palace, he put Wang Jun under house arrest, and then summoned the important ministers to cry and explain the reason, put Wang Jun under house arrest elsewhere, and demoted him to Shangzhou Sima. Soon Wang Jun became seriously ill, and Guo Wei sent Wang Jun's wife to visit, but Wang Jun died of illness later.
"No need! I don't treat it well, and its evening is not guaranteed, so what can I do! Guo Wei sighed, and said to Feng Dao again: "How is the King of Jin lately, there are not many affairs in Kaifeng Mansion, so leave the matter of executing Gao Shaoji to him!" ”
"Yes! King Jin has just entered Tokyo, and he should learn more practice! Feng Dao nodded and said.
The king of Jin is Guo Rong, after dealing with Wang Jun's affairs, in early March, Zheng Renzhi was the envoy of the Lanzhou Festival, Guo Rong was recalled to Beijing, appointed as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and the meritorious envoy, and was canonized as the king of Jin. Guo Wei began to make a series of preparations for Guo Rong's ascension to the throne, but there was still one powerful minister who had not yet been resolved, that is, Wang Yin remained in Yedu, Hebei.
