Chapter 90: Slander
Zhao Yun sat on the soft couch in his bedroom, looking at the Gao Huaiyuan recital in front of him, and his face showed a look of unhappiness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the same time, there are also many impeachments of Gao Huaiyuan by Wenchen on his dragon case, especially the Zheng Zheng Zheng who was set up by Gao Huaiyuan, and countless Wenchen have accused Gao Huaiyuan of being domineering during this period of time, and they have asked the court to remove Gao Huaiyuan from his official position.
The accusations against Gao Huaiyuan are all used, the most important of which is the fact that Gao Huaiyuan led the army to fight with the Mongolian army this time.
Just heard the news that the Mongol army suddenly crossed the Song realm, and entered the Song realm under the pretense of attacking the Jin State through the Song realm, burning and looting, the Southern Song Dynasty government and the opposition were shocked, and for a time the uneasy atmosphere permeated the entire court.
This controversy was not over, and Gao Huaiyuan's report then went to Lin'an, saying that he had mobilized the soldiers and horses of the four major capitals to go out of the customs to fight.
Originally, Zhao Yun was quite happy about Gao Huaiyuan's disposition, and felt that it was his very wise decision to send Gao Huaiyuan to Lizhou to do things this time, at least let Gao Huaiyuan leave Lin'an temporarily, and the provincial and Zheng Qing factions kept fighting, and just in time for the Mongol army to invade the Song Realm, with Gao Huaiyuan on Lizhou Road, at least he could rest assured.
But then Zheng Zhen, who was demoted to the deputy envoy of Sichuan, played a game, accusing Gao Huaiyuan of appointing his cronies without authorization to seize the military power of the Lizhou Metropolitan Command Division and the Chuzhou Metropolitan Commandery, and also accused Gao Huaiyuan of flying in Lizhou, and also told Gao Huaiyuan to set him up and not let him participate in government affairs, etc.
This can make those ministers in the DPRK who have enmity with Gao Huaiyuan or who have long been unaccustomed to Gao Huaiyuan, a military general, actually riding on the heads of their group of civil ministers, as if they had caught a magic weapon, and once again collectively launched an impeachment, scolding Gao Huaiyuan for being useless.
Zhao Yun has a headache for this, every day is just such a piece, a gift is a bunch, so he can't see it, he can't help but be upset to death, secretly complaining in his heart that Gao Huaiyuan doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and actually offended so many ministers, he actually understands why these ministers will attack Gao Huaiyuan so hard, in fact, this is still the policy of suppressing military force that has always been pursued after the founding of the Song Dynasty, he used Gao Huaiyuan so much, obviously breaking the original rules of the game, It just makes these readers who think they are the best of the world feel very unhappy!
Originally, he didn't want to take care of the impeachment recitals of these civil servants, so he grabbed them and threw them aside, but Xie Mulin's words made him feel a fierce blow in his heart again.
When Xie Mulin saw that there was no one, he secretly said to Zhao Yun: "Official, although Prime Minister Gao is very loyal to the official family, people will always change!" And nowadays, don't the officials think that the military power that the prime minister has in charge is too heavy? Although the slave is just a person around the official family, he can also see some eyebrows, and at present, the commanders of the garrisons in various places have basically been replaced by the descendants under the command of the high cardinal minister, so I am afraid
Before Xie Mulin finished speaking, someone outside came to bring refreshments to Zhao Yun, and Xie Mulin immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Although Xie Mulin's words were not finished, Zhao Yun already understood what Xie Mulin meant, and even twitched violently in his heart, after thinking about it, Zhao Yun suddenly found that what Xie Mulin said was indeed good, the main generals of the palace front division around the capital were all pulled up by Gao Huaiyuan, and Fang Shuda of the infantry division was also a die-hard fan of Gao Huaiyuan, and even the soldiers and guards who guarded him were basically selected by Gao Huaiyuan himself.
Counting the Jingdong garrison army, needless to say, they must all be Gao Huaiyuan's people, after all, it was Gao Huaiyuan who single-handedly fought down, the Chizhou Metropolitan Division, the Jiankang Metropolitan Division, and the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Division in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, although Gao Huaiyuan did not get involved in it clearly, but after the rectification of the Privy Council some time ago, a considerable number of veteran generals were dismissed, and Gao Huaiyuan promoted a group of young and strong young generals to serve as the chief generals of these garrison troops.
In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Meng Heng, the commander of the Chuzhou Metropolitan Division, was Gao Huaiyuan's sworn brother, and the Xiangyang Metropolitan Division's Commander was also promoted from the old department under Meng Hui.
If Gao Huaiyuan repelled the Mongol army this time, then there is no need to think about it, Gao Huaiyuan will carry out a rectification of the four major capitals in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and replace them with a group of his descendant generals.
A group of new armies that were originally built during the reign of the first emperor are basically gone.
In this way, the regular armies of the Southern Song Dynasty have basically been controlled by Gao Huaiyuan, and only some local garrisons in the hinterland are not Gao Huaiyuan's descendants, and now Gao Huaiyuan is indeed loyal to him, but people will change, he used to be just a small royal branch in Shaoxing who was struggling to live, and then he was not ambitious to become the emperor? So who can guarantee that Gao Huaiyuan will one day be in power, and he won't want to be the emperor?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but suddenly break out in a cold sweat, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and accidentally dropped a teacup in his hand to the ground, and a crisp sound suddenly came out in the silent dormitory, breaking the peace of the reason here.
When he saw Gao Huaiyuan's victory recital sent again, Zhao Yun did not feel the slightest joy because Gao Huaiyuan defeated the Mongolian army in Jiezhou this time, but just sent Gao Huaiyuan's recital to Zheng Qingzhi with an expressionless face, and asked him to discuss with Zhen Dexiu and others to give rewards to the meritorious soldiers who participated in the war as appropriate.
Although in the end, the ministers of the DPRK and China reluctantly agreed to most of Gao Huaiyuan's arrangements, but they suppressed Gao Huaiyuan's proposal to appoint Yue Kun as the Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy, and only promoted Yue Kun to the post of General of Sipinwei and Commander of Xunqingche, and continued to lead the unification of the Lizhou Metropolitan Division, but only promoted the Lizhou Deputy Metropolitan Commander by half a level and promoted him to the Metropolitan Commander.
Then, at Zheng Qingzhi's suggestion, Zhao Yun issued an order to transfer Zheng Yi, who had been demoted by one level, out of Sichuan and into the capital to serve as the governor of the capital, and the matter seemed to have become a little delicate.
And then Gao Huaiyuan sent someone to send a piece of music into the palace, Zhao Yun's face finally sank, and he slammed this piece on the dragon case.
It's too much for the cardinal to act like this! The Tibetan tribes have always been friendly with our dynasty, and even if the Mongolian army was allowed to borrow the road this time, it must be because they were afraid of the fierceness of the Mongolian army, and they had to let the Mongolian army borrow the road to Sichuan!
In Weichen's opinion, it is right that our court should be appeased, but the prime minister does not understand the difficulties of the Tibetan tribes, and he still sends troops to recruit them without authorization, won't these Tibetan friends fall to the side of the Mongols?
Your Majesty cannot allow the Prime Minister Gao to send troops to conscript these Tibetan tribes, which will only increase the number of enemies among our courtiers, and will only be more unfavorable to our court! Please Your Majesty quickly descend the decree to stop the Prime Minister from raising troops without authorization! When the ministers heard the news, Zheng Qingzhi immediately went out of work, holding a wat board in his hand and inviting Zhao Yun to play.
As soon as Zheng Qingzhi's words landed, Ji Xiancheng had to stand up and immediately said to Zhao Yunqi: Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Zheng Xiang is obviously unfair in judging Gao Shuxiang like this!
The Tibetan tribes have never been half respectful to our dynasty, and they have always restricted the import of horses to our dynasty, but they have always harassed our borders, burning, killing, and plundering everything, so how can they say that they are friends with me? It's just that I am benevolent, and I have never cared about it, continue to open the city, and trade with it, but the Tibetan tribes do not want to repay the favor, but repay the virtue with grievances, and this time it is to borrow the way to the Mongolian army for it to attack the territory of our dynasty, which is really its heart can be punished!
This time, Prime Minister Gao advocated the crusade against the Tibetan tribes and closed the field, precisely to punish those who dared to defy the prestige of our heavenly kingdom by thunderous means, for the benefit of our dynasty, Your Majesty should support Prime Minister Gao!
After Zhao Yun pondered for a while, he spoke: The two Aiqing are reasonable, but Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. After all, this matter is very important, the prime minister has just led the troops to repel the Mongol army, and several states outside the Lizhou Pass have been ruined, and it still needs to be settled for a while, although this time the Tibetan tribes are at fault first, but our dynasty has always been based on benevolence, I think it is obviously inappropriate to start a border war, and it is better to consider this matter in the long run! Quickly draft an order and inform the prime minister that you should not rush to send troops to Tibet, so as not to make the Tibetan tribes jealous of me and turn to the side of the Mongols!
Zheng Qingyi was secretly happy in his heart when he heard this, Zhao Yun made it clear that he did not support Gao Huaiyuan to send troops to conquer Tibet, and it was obvious that Zhao Yun was already worried about Gao Huaiyuan's actions, so he immediately bowed down and said that the saint was wise.
Although Ji Xiancheng still wanted to continue to persuade Zhao Yun to change his mind and support Gao Huaiyuan's decision, Zhao Yun did not give him a chance to continue talking, and directly announced his retirement from the court, and the ministers had to kneel to send Zhao Yun out of the hall.
Zhao Yun sat alone in the apse, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, it stands to reason that he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what, it should be his final say, although this time he sent Gao Huaiyuan to Lizhou to quell the rebellion, but now the Lizhou rebellion has been pacified, Gao Huaiyuan's task should be completed, but he has no intention of returning to Beijing, but in Sichuan to show his strength, this time although he repelled the Mongolian army meritorious, but made Sichuan a chicken, and now he wants to send troops to conquer Tibet, And without even discussing with him, he made up his mind, which is a bit too much to take him as an emperor.
Xie Mulin is right, although Gao Huaiyuan is very good to him, but now Gao Huaiyuan is indeed a little too domineering, time has passed, God knows that in the future of this Great Song Dynasty, it will be him Zhao Yun who has the final say, or his surname Gao has the final say.
The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more he felt a little regretful, regretting that he shouldn't have listened to Zheng Qingzhi's advice and controlled Gao Huaiyuan's rights, so that now Gao Huaiyuan has an uncontrollable momentum in just two or three years, thinking of this, he immediately recruited Xie Mulin and asked him to leave the palace to pass Zheng Qingzhi into the palace.
And after Ji Xiancheng left the palace, he sat on the sedan chair and thought about Zhao Yun's reaction to dealing with political affairs during this time, and he also saw some eyebrows, and secretly complained in his heart that Gao Huaiyuan was a little too eager for quick success, and if he continued to act so arbitrarily, he would only erect more political enemies, so after thinking about it for a while, he instructed the sedan chair man to go to the political court.
Not long after, Ji Xiancheng saw Zhen Dexiu who was handling official business in the Political Affairs Yuan, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then pulled the topic to Gao Huaiyuan.
True Adult, what the high cardinal minister played this time, I don't know if the real adult wants to cooperate? Ji Xiancheng and Zhen Dexiu have a good relationship, so he asked Zhen Dexiu straight to the point.
Zhen Dexiu sighed slightly and said: I know that you came to me today to ask my opinion, don't hide it from Lord Ji, although this time I am deeply admired that Prime Minister Gao can personally lead the army to defeat the Mongolian army, but what he has done in Lizhou recently has indeed offended many people!
Although it is true that the Holy Lord relied on the High Cardinal Minister, but in such a major event of sending troops, the High Cardinal Minister made a decision without consulting with the Holy Lord, which was obviously unseemly! Even if the current saint is the saint of this kind of border war, he will make a decision after discussing with the ministers of the court, but the prime minister himself has taken the idea, and it is inevitable that the saint will be unhappy!
Although I also believe that Prime Minister Gao is thinking about the country, but doing so is obviously against the duty of a courtier! So Benxiang can't speak for him, and I hope Lord Ji will understand!
Although Ji Xiancheng wanted to speak for Gao Huaiyuan at this time, after listening to Zhen Dexiu's words, he also felt quite powerless, so he had to leave.
As a result, within a few days, the report sent from Sichuan was presented to Zhao Yun's dragon case, and Gao Huaiyuan finally did not wait for Zhao Yun's edict, so he sent troops out of the customs and began the battle of conquest of the Tibetan tribes.
Zhao Yun couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and threw this piece to the ground, stood up and paced back and forth on the hall angrily, and after thinking for a while, he immediately issued an order to let Zheng Qingzhi and Zhen Dexiu enter the palace to face the saints.
Looking at Zhao Yun's face, Zheng Qingzhi read Gao Huaiyuan's recital, and immediately said: Your Majesty Mingjian! It's too much for Gao Shu to do this! With such a military event, how can he send troops without asking for the permission of the Holy Lord, this is simply lawless, is there still a Holy Lord in his eyes?
And Zhen Dexiu also watched Gao Huaiyuan's recital, shook his head slightly and said: Gao Shuxiang's move is indeed a bit excessive! However, Weichen thinks that Gao Shuxiang is also thinking about my dynasty, and Tubo borrowed the way to attack the Song Dynasty for the Mongolian army this time, which has already shown that they have betrayed our dynasty, and it is reasonable to punish them! I hope Your Majesty will calm your anger!
Zhao Yun's face was unhappy, and he didn't wait for Zhen Dexiu to finish speaking, so he waved his hand and said: True Aiqing doesn't need to say more, this matter is indeed too arbitrary, and if it goes on like this, it will definitely cause the hearts of all the people in Tubo to be scattered, and they will be even more afraid of our dynasty! Zheng Aiqing quickly drafted the decree on my behalf, and ordered Prime Minister Gao to immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses that had left the customs, and ordered Prime Minister Gao to defend himself on this matter!
The atmosphere in the hall was very tense, Zhen Dexiu saw that Zhao Yun was angry, so he didn't dare to say more, after Zheng Qingzhi got Zhao Yun's will, he immediately began to write excitedly, and drafted a holy decree on behalf of Zhao Yun, severely reprimanding Gao Huaiyuan for being too arbitrary, and ordered Gao Huaiyuan to immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses sent to crusade against the Tubo tribes, and immediately wrote a self-defense on this matter!
At the same time, Zhao Yun also mentioned the matter of re-arranging someone to replace Zheng Wei and serve as the envoy of the Sichuan system, Zheng Qingzhi immediately asked Zhao Yun to send Lu Weihuan, a scholar of Baohedian University, to Sichuan to replace Zheng Zheng, Zhao Yun immediately allowed it, and when Ji Xiancheng learned about it, he didn't have time to stop it.
(That's a 4,500-word chapter!) Isn't there anyone giving a few more tickets or a tip? ļ¼
