"The bones of the beggars."

After Zhao Weiji was recruited to the court meeting, the first sentence shocked the full hall.

"Beggar bones." This is usually a humble phrase used only when the minister is old and asks for a minister. This Zhao Weiji is only in his early twenties, which one is this going to play?

Even Zhao Guangyi was stunned, your uncle and grandfather are still in their prime, you little kid give me a beggar bone? What do you mean?

"You get up for me first, I haven't said anything before you have a beggar skeleton, what do you mean. Which of the ministers present is not older than you, and Zhishi is not your turn to be a child. ”

"Of course, the minister knows what the Holy Edict called the minister, the northwest party is in turmoil, and someone needs to quell the rebellion. It's just that the minister's clumsiness is pregnant. The minister really doesn't want to go to the battlefield, and the minister is afraid of ....... ”

In fact, on the way to the palace, Zhao Weiji thought of a countermeasure, and while recommending Li Jilong, he also had to do one thing, that is, pretend to be a grandson. Of course, in terms of generation, he was originally a grandson, so pretending to be a grandson is not a loss.

He had to convince Zhao Guangyi that he didn't have any ambitions, and now he just wanted his wife and children to be on the kang.

Zhao Guangyi, the old fox, naturally won't fail to see that Zhao Weiji is acting, although he doesn't know why Zhao Weiji wants to make up such a lame reason to escape to the battlefield, but since you want to act, I will accompany you to act. You don't want to go, and I don't want to use you, but I'm going to see how you make this show a success.

"It turns out that Chai Yu has it, which is a good thing. However, the war in the northwest of the country is tense, and now it is the time for the imperial court to employ people. Isn't it just that you will temporarily put aside your children's love and sacrifice for the country? ”

In fact, as soon as these words came out, although the lower Wenchen was still in the clouds, Zhao Weiji understood it. Zhao Guangyi's meaning is very clear, you don't want to go, and I don't want to use you, but now there is no one. If you don't solve this matter satisfactorily now, you know the consequences.

Yes, if Zhao Weiji still goes to the northwest, the consequences will be really miserable. lost, and Zhao Guangyi just found a reason to wipe it to the end. If you win the war, although your prestige in the army will be more stable, Zhao Guangyi will use this as an excuse to completely nail Zhao Weiji to the military.

To be honest, although Zhao Weiji now has a lot of military merits, he also has the title of an envoy to the German army. But he is not strictly a military man yet. At this moment, the Jiedu envoy no longer has considerable real power like the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and is the commander-in-chief of the local military region who controls personnel and financial power.

The festival of the Song Dynasty made it more like a lord than a real position, and Zhao Guangyi gave Zhao Weiji the title at the beginning, which actually implied that he would almost get it, and then fight to give others a chance.

So this seemingly first general actually doesn't have any real military position.

But this time it's different, if he is completely nailed to the military, Zhao Weiji will receive the same treatment as military personnel. That is, to stay in the place for a long time, under the jurisdiction of civil officials. The Privy Council, which really held military power in the Song Dynasty, was all held by civilian officials.

In this way, all Zhao Weiji's layouts are out of play, and if he really becomes a military position, it is not as convenient as a cloth cloth for his own plans.

"The minister knows that one person can defeat the minister a hundred times, and the minister is willing to recommend this person to lead the army to the northwest to recover Yinxia."

"Who is it?"

"Uncle Li Jilong."

Zhao Weiji mentioned this, and Zhao Guangyi remembered this person. His sister is the elder brother of Zhao Guangyi, the newly canonized queen Li in the first year of Yongxi.

Li Jilong was born in a military family, and his father was Li Chugeng, the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty. Li Jilong made great contributions when he destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and he also had outstanding performances during the first Northern Expedition. However, due to the identity of his relatives, he was squeezed out by the military generals, and after the first Northern Expedition, he was gradually buried in the army.

And because of the butterfly effect brought by Zhao Weiji, the battle to recover Yinzhou, which he should have shown, never happened. In addition, the queen Li is dignified and courteous, and she never seeks any benefits for the family in front of Zhao Guangyi, so Zhao Guangyi almost forgot about this person.

Now that Zhao Weiji mentioned this, he remembered Li Jilong, who was a good candidate.

"Why did you recommend this person?"

"The minister has long heard of General Li's prestige, and his talent is a hundred times better than that of the minister. But I don't know why I can't reuse it, but the minister really can't bear to see the pearl secretly invested, so he boldly recommends this person to solve His Majesty's worries. ”

In fact, at this time, Zhao Weiji proposed that Li Jilonglai also helped Zhao Guangyi solve a problem that had plagued him for a long time, that is, he had no one in the military.

All the major generals in the military except Yang Ye actually had a label attached to it, and that was: Taizu.

Whether it is Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Mi Xin, or Gao Huaide and Shi Shouxin before, they are all generals who have been active since the time of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

And he still has to rely on these people in the Zhao Guangyi era, he has no descendants of his own, the only Yang Ye is still a general, Zhao Weiji is the rise of his Taizong Dynasty, but Zhao Weiji is the grandson of Zhao Kuangyin.

Li Jilong can be the beginning of cultivating generals who belong to his Taizong lineage, anyway, those who excluded Li Jilong before died, and they were degraded. At this time, there is Zhao Weiji's concession and recommendation, if Li Jilong can really fight to recover Yinxia, he can really cultivate into a new generation of army core.

At this time, Zhao Weiji's recommendation said that there must be no obstacle for the military, and only one more Wenchen needs to echo, and Zhao Guangyi can smoothly push Li Jilong to the forefront.

At this time, someone naturally stood up with a good understanding of current affairs, and this person was the old prime minister Zhao Pu: "The minister also thinks that Uncle Li Jilong can take on this important task." ”

Although Zhao Pu is no longer the prime minister at this time, his influence in the court is still there, and naturally no one will object when he speaks.

So, the matter was decided.

Just after this matter was confirmed, Zhao Weiji suddenly knelt down again: "The ministers beg for bones." ”

Which one is this singing? Didn't you already stop letting you go to the Northwest, and still coming?

Zhao Weiji's sudden repetition of his old tricks even Zhao Guangyi couldn't understand it.

Just when everyone hadn't figured it out yet, Zhao Weiji spoke again: "The minister asks the saint to seal the minister to Liangzhejiang Road, Huating County, Xiuzhou." ”

Now everyone understood Zhao Weiji's intentions, and he wanted to leave. In fact, it is no wonder that the embarrassment of his identity leads to his best choice to be a free prince.

Not only did the ministers think so, but even Zhao Guangyi thought so: "This kid actually wants to run away, and I think he can have a lot of ability." "Since Zhao Weiji woke up, his various changes have made Zhao Guangyi very uneasy, he can make new things, and he can fight. Fortunately, he is usually more restrained and has not made any important friends, otherwise Zhao Guangyi would definitely have to do it directly against him.

"Since you plan to leave officialdom completely, then I will fulfill you." Zhao Guangyi's idea at this time is very simple, if you want to leave, I will let you go, and it is basically impossible to come back after leaving the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi decided to agree to his request: "For the sake of your meritorious recommendation, I agreed to your request, renamed you the king of Wuyue, and built a mansion for you in Huating County." When the mansion is repaired, you will be able to leave Beijing. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Weiji, who finally fooled this old fox, was very happy. "Do you think I'll be completely useless when I leave the capital? You're wrong, I can only really get the stage when I leave the capital. ”

……

Seven days later, Li Jilong, who was transferred to the capital to accept the general, was about to leave for the northwest.

Just the day before departure, Li Jilong went to visit Zhao Weiji in gratitude for the recommendation.

Although Zhao Weiji decided to leave the military temporarily, in order not to bury Li Jiguang and Hu Yanzan, he recommended them to Li Jilong. Li Jilong has also heard of the reputation of these two, plus Zhao Weiji has grace and himself, so of course he must accept his recommendation.

In this way, Li Jiguang and Hu Yanzan were also transferred to the northwest.

After Li Jilong set off, Zhao Weiji began to prepare to move to Huating County.

Of course, this has to be after the county king's mansion in Huating County is repaired.

But this did not prevent Zhao Weiji from making some initial preparations.

"Are you really leaving?" Chai Yu, who has lived in Bianliang for many years, is still a little reluctant at this time, and when she really sets off, her belly will also be bigger, and it will be very inconvenient at that time.

Zhao Weiji knew that he was also sorry for his wife, but this time was the best time. What's more, in fact, some of their industries have gradually moved to Huating County.

"I know it's a bit urgent, but this is the best opportunity." Zhao Weiji hugged his wife with some distress. "Does my mother-in-law want to come with us?"

"If you don't object, I want my mother to come with us."

"Of course I don't object, leaving the bustling Bianliang and going to Huating is a little wronged by you and your mother-in-law."

Since he was leaving, he naturally had to say goodbye to his mother and eldest brother. So Zhao Weiji and his wife took the initiative to go to the Wei Palace.

"Why are you in such a hurry, can't you wait until my grandchild is born and leaves?" At this time, the Wang family saw that Zhao Weiji and his wife complained with some dissatisfaction. Because Zhao Weizheng has no children, Zhao Weiji's child will be her first grandchild.

"Mother, don't complain about Guoxiang, he must have his reasons for doing this." Hearing his mother's complaints, Zhao Weizheng took the initiative to stand up and relieve Zhao Weiji.

Zhao Weizheng knew that Zhao Weiji was not embarrassed or embarrassed in Beijing at this time. Since he chose to leave, he naturally had his plans.

"Brother knows that you must have your own reasons for leaving the capital, so Brother won't say much. You must take care of yourselves, and after the birth of your nephew, you must write as soon as possible. I'll take my mother to see you then.

……

Just when Zhao Weiji was about to leave the capital, Li Jilong had already arrived in the northwest. Li Jilong, whose ancestral home is in the party, is not a stranger to the northwest. Soon he will face Li Jiqian.
