Chapter Seventy-Four: Jiang Zhe Centrifugation!
Not to mention that Cao Ying defeated LΓΌ Bu to subdue the entire territory of Yanzhou, and returned the time to two months ago, when Jiang Zhe's training was about to be two months old......
At the beginning, the Son of Heaven handed over Wang Yun's suicide note to Jiang Zhe's second wife Cai Yan, and Cai Yan asked Lao Wang to hand it over to Jiang Zhe in the military camp.
When Jiang Zhe saw the letter, he replied to the Son of Heaven by letter, ordering a messenger to send it, but he didn't want to be intercepted by Dong Cheng halfway, so that the Son of Heaven did not receive Jiang Zhe's letter......
After waiting for more than a month without hearing back, the Son of Heaven Association really didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and suddenly saw Dong Cheng walking in angrily, bowing to himself and saying, "Your Majesty! The old minister wants to play Xuchang's defense of Jiang Zhe, and the crime of deceiving the king by Sima Xunyu and others in the army! β
"Huh?" The Son of Heaven Association raised his hand suspiciously to let Dong Cheng get up, and said in a deep voice, "Guozhang, don't embarrass me again!" β
Dong Cheng's face turned red, and he still said in a voice, "Your Majesty is not too late to wait for the old minister to say it!" β
Seeing that Dong Cheng really wanted to say something, Tianzi Xie nodded and said, "Say!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng got up and said angrily, "Your Majesty once wrote a letter to that Jiang Zhe?" But you don't see a reply for more than a month? Your Majesty does you know what Jiang Zhe is doing? β
"How do you know that I have a letter ...... Jiang Zhe?" said as he spoke, the Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Then what is Jiang Shouyi doing?" β
Secretly glad that the Son of Heaven did not ask how he knew about the letter, Dong Cheng said angrily, "Then Jiang Zhe will train with Cao Ying again!" β
"Training?" The Son of Heaven was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said calmly, "It turns out that Jiang Shouyi is training soldiers, no wonder there is no one in the rest of the month, Peter Cao Mengde values it, commanding Xuchang's big and small things, what is so strange about training soldiers?" β
"No, Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng shouted sadly, "That's a new army!" β
"What?" The Son of Heaven Xie Zhuo Ran changed color, "New army? β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty just wants to expand the forbidden army to 5,000 people, only 2,000 more, then Xun Yu will push back and block, and then Jiang Zhe will have more than 5,000 people......"
Looking at the increasingly heavy face of the Tianzi Association, Dong Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, I didn't deceive the king, plus those firehead soldiers, I'm afraid that the grain transport soldiers are not even more than five thousand.
Dong Cheng was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he fanned the flames and said, "Your Majesty, can you know that every time the old minister goes to Xun Yu to ask him to raise the salary of the forbidden army, he will keep his mouth shut and talk about him, and that Cheng Yu pushed it on Jiang Zhe again and again, saying that he would not dare to increase his salary without Jiang Zhe's book, isn't it ridiculous?" The old minister got His Majesty's permission to go, so Jiang Zhe is more ...... than His Majesty?"
The Son of Heaven glared at Dong Cheng violently, causing Dong Cheng's words to come to an abrupt end.
"The old minister lost his words, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Tianzi Xie's chest rose and fell for a while, and he picked up the tea cup on the desk and was about to drink tea, but suddenly fell to the ground and said angrily, "Go to court with me!" β
"Yes! Your Majesty! Dong Cheng smiled secretly in his heart.
Yuan Benchu said that only when the Son of Heaven personally ordered that he would lead the army to Xuchang, and Yuan Highway was the same......
Above the court, the anger in the heart of the Son of Heaven was still unsubsidy, and he looked straight at His Highness Xun Yu.
Xun Yu came instead of Jiang Zhe, and he was very puzzled by the treatment of the Son of Heaven.
"Xun Aiqing......" the Son of Heaven said lightly, "I thought before, if I want to expand the Xuchang Janissary to 5,000 people, what objection does Aiqing have?" β
Alas! If you keep righteousness like this, your majesty will do it too! Xun Yu hesitated in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, now that Xuchang's finances are in difficulty, why don't you wait for the autumn harvest to expand the guard?" β
"Xuchang is financially struggling?" Dong Chenglie sneered and said, "Then Jiang Zhe's new army will not be financially difficult?" β
Xun Yu's face changed slightly.
"The New Army?" The Son of Heaven Association sneered in his heart, "Guozhang, how about the new army?" I'm a little curious, could it be that Jiang Changshi also knows how to train soldiers? β
Seeing that the Son of Heaven said this, Dong Cheng was even more proud, he had already united a group of families who were secretly dissatisfied with Jiang Zhe, and he was not afraid that Jiang Zhe would make trouble...... Does he dare to force the palace to fail?
"Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng arched his hand and said to the Son of Heaven, "This military camp is not far outside Xuchang City, and Jiang Zhe named it the Tiger and Par Battalion!" Jiang Zhe is training in the battalion! β
"Jiang Changshi is in charge of the large and small government affairs in Xuchang City, this is his duty, why should the abbot make a fuss!" Taiwei Yang Biao said lightly.
Dong Cheng's face changed slightly, and he secretly glanced at the Son of Heaven.
"What the old lady said is very true! Let's train the troops! The Son of Heaven Association smiled slightly and said, "If there is chaos today, it is also a good thing for Xuchang to have a strong army, and the province will let me be coerced by those thieves!" β
The cold light in the eyes of Cheng Yu, who was standing at the end of the civil official, disappeared, and the Taiwei Yang Biao also frowned deeply when he heard this, and Zongzheng Liu Ai was even more anxious.
"Since Xuchang is financially difficult, let's talk about it later!" Tianzi Xie sneered in his heart, and said lightly, "Xun Aiqing, don't live up to my expectations!" β
"Weichen Command......" Xun Yu bowed his head in response.
"Bang!" Alone in a room, the Son of Heaven was furious and smashed all the porcelain that could be seen, so he was still angry.
"Jiang Shouyi! You've disappointed me so much! The Son of Heaven let out a low sigh.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk ......" a voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the old minister asks to see!" "It turned out to be Zongzheng Liu Ai.
The Son of Heaven straightened his clothes, because he had drunk all the eunuchs who were waiting, and now he was the only one who opened the door.
As soon as Liu Ai entered the door, he saw the ceramic fragments on the ground, sighed and said to the Son of Heaven Association, "Your Majesty knows that you have lost your words in the court today......
"Humph!" The Son of Heaven was still angry, and snorted coldly.
"Who is Cao Ying? Who is Jiang Zhe? Your Majesty actually compared these two people to Guo and Li two thieves? Doesn't this chill the hearts of the people of the world? β
"Chilling?" The Son of Heaven said angrily, "My heart is very cold! β
Looking at the son of heaven of his sons and nephews, Liu Ai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very smart, but you have never seen the strangeness?" β
"Huh?" Hearing this, the Son of Heaven thought deeply for a moment and said, "Uncle Huang is talking about the ...... of the country."
Liu Ai smiled silently.
"But!" Tianzi Xie said angrily, "But Jiang Zhe didn't reply to my letter, and Yueyu didn't even have a word, so Xun Yu kept calling His Majesty, but let him allocate some money to come out, and he pushed back and ......."
"Your Majesty!" Liu Ai persuaded, "The minister's words may be disrespectful, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" β
"Uncle Huang, please speak!"
"Your Majesty, now is not the same as in the past, does Your Majesty remember the years ago? When it was said that Cao Mengde was the only one who led the army to Luoyang, after that, the hundreds of officials in the court were headed by Dong Cheng, and there were many people who mocked Cao Mengde, but did Your Majesty ever see Cao Mengde have a trace of slackness towards Your Majesty? β
"It's not ......"
"Let's talk about Jiang Zhe, who is Jiang Zhe now? It is the nephew of Situ Gong and the son-in-law of Cai Zhonglang! Situ Gong was loyal to the Han family but was wiped out, Cai Zhonglang ...... Alas! Your Majesty, can these two be called loyal ministers? β
"What Uncle Huang said is very true, Lao Situ and Cai are all loyal ministers of the court......"
"So what about Jiang Zhejiang Shouyi? At the moment of his death, Situ Gong did not forget to recommend his nephew to His Majesty, could Situ Gong recommend a person from his clan before? β
ββ¦β¦β
"When it was said that the eunuchs were in rebellion to save Bishan, Luoyang designed to kill Dong Zhuo, and now Xuchang's great rule and defeat Lu Bu, even the old minister has to say a word, then Jiang Zhe is really a genius in the world!"
"I also know that Jiang Zhe has the talent of Wang Zuo, but I have no choice but to devote myself to Cao Ying, and I ......"
"Alas!" Liu Ai's face was a little angry, and he shouted, "Your Majesty doesn't know how much! Cao Ying and Jiang Zhe are both capable ministers, if Your Majesty persecuts them again, there will be a big disaster in the future! β
"......," the Son of Heaven said thoughtfully, "Although Cao Mengde has never been rude to me, Uncle Huang also said that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, so I want to expand the Praetorian Guard......
"Your Majesty!" Liu Ai said with a sigh, "Cao Ying has more than 100,000 troops, even if His Majesty has that mere 5,000 guards, what is the use?" β
The Son of Heaven Association was speechless by Liu Ai, and still said unwillingly, "But that Jiang Zhe even replied to me, this is the crime of bullying the king!" β
"Then why didn't Your Majesty arrest him?" Liu Ai looked at the child-like expression of the Son of Heaven, smiled and said.
"Humph! Now that Jiang Zhe controls Xuchang, his ability is very great! β
"Haha!" Liu Ai laughed.
ββ¦β¦ What is Uncle Huang laughing at? β
Liu Ai shook his head and said, "Your Majesty must not know that Jiang Shouyi's surname, and the old minister dares to assert that if anyone in the world does not think about fame and fortune and does not seek power, it must be Jiang Shouyi!" β
Looking at the shocked appearance of the Son of Heaven, Liu Ai smiled faintly, "The person that Situ Gong values is really different...... As for Jiang Zhe's letter, Your Majesty might as well go to the barracks to see it in person, first, to explore Jiang Zhe's ability to train troops, and second, to save some people from secretly messing around! β
ββ¦β¦ What Uncle Huang said is extremely true! β
After Liu Ai left, the Son of Heaven thought about it, recalling the appearance of the man with a dusty smile on his face when he was rescued by Bishan, and believed Liu Ai's words more and more in his heart, so he ordered to drive.
"Your Majesty wants to go to the Haw Par Camp station?" Dong Cheng hurried over.
"Does the ruler have any objections?" Tianzi Xie sneered in his heart, but his expression was very natural, "If I want to reorganize the Praetorian Guards, I might as well go and see how Jiang Aiqing trains the army!" β
"This ......"
"Drive!" The Son of Heaven ignored Dong Cheng and snorted, Dong Cheng was furious in his heart, for fear that the letter would be exposed, so he hurriedly followed.
An hour later, the Son of Heaven and the others rode their horses to the tiger and leopard camp barracks, and early in the morning, a soldier guarding there shouted, "This is the important place of the Haw Par Camp barracks, idlers are not allowed to trespass, retreat quickly!" β
Because they didn't want to alarm the people of Xuchang, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and others came in a small way.
"Bold!" Dong Cheng shouted, "Do you know who we are?" Quickly let Jiang Zhe come to greet him! β
"Jiang ...... Let the gentleman come out to greet him? The eyes of the leader of the guards guarding the gate of the camp changed, and when he saw that the people in front of him were brightly dressed and did not look like ordinary people, he did not dare to make a mistake, and said apologetically, "Mr. is training in the camp, this is ......."
"Humph!" Dong Cheng snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "That's it!" Open the camp gate, and I'll enter! β
"I'm sorry!" The leader of the guard hesitated and said, "Sir said that those who do not have a letter of order are not allowed to enter or leave the camp, and those who violate the order are ...... Chop! β
"What?" Dong Cheng's face turned angry, and he shouted heavily, "Then Jiang Zhe really thinks that he is Zhou Yafu?" I'll see who dares to cut me! β
"I dare!" With a cold voice, he slowly walked out.
