Chapter 175: Aftermath
Things came suddenly, making Zhao Ta scramble, this transfer came at an inopportune time, he already understood that he was powerless to stop the upcoming Jurchen invasion, all he could do was to actively prepare for the war, and what he had been waiting for for so many years was not this day. But the transfer made Zhao Tayi fall into the valley full of confidence, at this critical moment he has no power, unable to mobilize the army in Hedong, and unable to integrate the resources of the entire Hedong to fight against the upcoming war, there is nothing worse than this...
Zhao Ta quickly calmed down from the initial panic, and he has come through accidents and impossibilities again and again for so many years. Although the situation is not in my favor, it is not bad enough to be out of control, and the first step now is to do a good job in dealing with the aftermath and minimize the impact of my resignation on the government. The first thing to arrange is people, no one has nothing to talk about, and with his dismissal, the Xuanfu Envoy will inevitably face a blood change, no one will continue to use the previous team, let alone Tong Guan!
Xu Jingheng doesn't have to worry about him, he is a liuguan, and after four years, he will definitely have a good home when he goes back. And Yang Shi, Zhou Xingji, Chen Guoting and Chen Dong are all his own staff, with low official positions and a bit of a strong temper. In the past few years, they have helped them complete the three major events of tuntian, reassuring the people, and rectifying the officials, and they have been able to gain a foothold in the northwest, and these people have made great contributions, and they cannot be treated badly.
Zhao Ta gave them two choices: one was to give them a generous amount of money, and they would not be ruined because of lack of money when they went back and waited for the officials to continue to work as officials or when they went home; The second is that although the Xuanfu Division can't stay any longer, he can continue to work as a staff member in the palace. Continue to follow yourself and wait for the opportunity, and dare not say that they will soar one day. At least it will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and Zhao Ta also hopes that they can stay.
After a few people seriously considered it. At this moment, Cai Jing is in power in the middle of the court, and even if he returns to Beijing, it will be difficult to get ahead, so he decided to stay by the prince's side. So Zhao Ta conquered Yang Shi for the prince's mansion Yishan, Zhou Xingji praised and read, Chen Guoting for the direct speech, Chen Dong joined the army for the palace chronicle, and stayed in the northwest temporarily...
Now the most troublesome thing is the resettlement of their own pro-army, now the loyal army has more than 40,000 troops, according to the plan can only retain the 2,000 people of the Guards Brigade, and the rest of them will be transferred to the Tuntian army. The Loyal Warrior can be said to be Zhao Ta's heart, his biggest reliance in this world. Almost all his efforts were condensed, and Zhao Ta would not do it anyway to disband them.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the most spacious courtyard in Taiyuan Post House, and Zhao Ta still can't figure out why he was suddenly transferred, so he didn't stay in the Yamen of the Xuanfu Division, but packed up and moved to the post house. Early this morning, the post officer found that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which had always been quiet on weekdays, was different from the previous days, and the internal guard in charge of the prince's living found him and asked him to prepare a few more rooms and buy some ingredients.
Of course, the post official didn't dare to slack off, although the prince was not a Xuanfu envoy. But he is still a prince, and he can't afford to provoke him, but he secretly reported these situations, and when he prepared his things and sent them back. I found that there were more soldiers around the post house to appease the Yamen, and some fresh faces appeared at the door. He was shocked in his heart, it seems that the wind direction in Hedong is really about to change!
"Lord Wang. It seems that someone in Hedong wants to attack us, and there are more spies around the post house to spy on us. This post officer is not a small suspect! Shang Hu, who was in charge of the perimeter guard, reported.
"Hmph, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. They all thought I was out of favor, so they were busy showing credit to the new master! Zhao Ta chuckled, it seems that this incident is not simple, he was monitored as soon as he left office, and there must be a mastermind behind the scenes who is manipulating this matter.
"It's really a dog's eye and a low eye! Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to drive them away? Shang Hu said indignantly.
"Ignore them, a bunch of dogs are not worth being angry with, as usual, as long as they don't do anything bad for us, don't care about them!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said, he knew that it was a sensitive period now, and it seemed that a little wind and grass could cause a chain reaction, but in the case of unclear circumstances, it was better to be still.
"Subordinates understood!" Shang Hu said, the prince said, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and ordered the reconnaissance team of the field brigade on standby outside to change into civilian clothes to monitor those suspicious people, and find out which yamen sent them and their intentions...
"Sangou, are these things sent by the post house?" Miki turned around in the kitchen in the backyard and looked at the ingredients placed on the side and called Sangou to the side and asked.
"Xiye, it's all purchased by the people who arranged the inn, is there anything wrong?" Sangou checked the vegetables and vegetables, they were all fresh, wiped his hands on the apron and asked puzzledly.
"Sangou, now it's not more than usual, don't use these things, immediately send people from your cronies to buy again, even if you want someone to send it, you have to find our own business, chickens, fish, sheep must be bought alive, there is no problem to use after raising it for a day, vegetables and vegetables must be picked in the field in person, understand?" See Xi Zhengse said.
"Did something happen to Xiye?" Sangou asked in surprise, the prince usually eats very casually, and there are not so many picks, and now Xiye has made it so mysterious, which makes him feel a little uneasy.
"Sangou, the prince has been plotted by someone, everything must be careful before the matter is clarified, now is an extraordinary time, especially in the kitchen, you have to give me a twelve-point mental stare to death, watch it, especially the prince's eating and drinking, only allowed to pass through your hands, if there is a little problem, we will all die of death!" Seeing Xi said solemnly.
"Xiye, don't worry, I understand, from today onwards I will eat and live in the kitchen, if anyone dares to harm the prince, my three dogs will fight with him!" Sangou understood as soon as he heard it, there was someone who wanted to be unfavorable to the prince, and this was worth it, he patted his chest and said.
"Well, it's not early, the heads and brains in the house have to eat and live here in the past two days, and it's about to arrive, you prepare early, don't delay the meal!" Jianxi nodded, very satisfied with Sangou's attitude.
"Yes, there will be absolutely no delay, I'll arrange it immediately!" Sangou agreed.
I saw that I looked at the kitchen, went to see the tea room, checked the newly arranged guest rooms of the post house, ordered people to clean it again, and left people to guard, and did not allow outsiders to enter and exit, and then went to the front hall to arrange manpower to strengthen the security in the courtyard.
As soon as the hour passed, Zhao Yan, Zhao Li, Zhao Yi, Zhao Xiao and Zhao Zhi, who received the order of the prince, arrived first, and then the dragon, lion, tiger, leopard, and wolf generals stationed in various places were Xu Biao, Dou Jun, Wang Heng and others also arrived one after another, they were all very strange, the prince asked them to meet at the post house for something, and when they drank tea suspiciously, the prince showed up, and saw Xi holding the holy decree and following behind.
"The decree has been given, have you heard it?" Seeing that Xi finished reading the holy decree, Zhao Ta looked at the people in the hall and asked with a look of disbelief.
"Lord Wang, the court means that the prince is leaving office and wants to disband our loyal army?" After a moment of silence, Zhao Yan asked first.
"The Loyal Warrior Army is my pro-army, and now that my position as a Xuanfu envoy is gone, of course, there is no need to exist, but the Loyal Warrior Army is not disbanded, but changed to the Tuntian Army and continues to stay in the northwest!" Zhao said.
"Lord Wang, is there any room for maneuver in this matter, are you willing to leave like this?" Zhao Li asked cautiously, of course he knew that the loyal warrior army and the prince were in a relationship of both glory and loss, and if the prince left, the loyal and brave army would be all over.
"The holy decree has been issued, and Taiwei Tong is also on the way here, and the matter is irreversible!" Zhao Ta shook his head and said.
"These villains know that they are secretly stumbling, we just don't leave, what can they do to us!" Xu Biao stood up and said.
"Xu Biao, don't make mistakes, listen to the prince!" Seeing that Xi shouted loudly, Xu Biao didn't dare to disobey, and sat down stupidly, muttering something in his mouth.
"Yes, we will listen to the prince, and we will not leave the prince even if we die!" The wolf generals all commanded Liu Biao to echo.
"That's it, the prince is leaving, and we won't stay!" Tiger generals are all commanding envoy Wang Heng said.
"This time the prince suddenly left his post, he must have been plotted by the villain, as long as the prince gives an order, I will lead the leopard to destroy them first, who the fuck is!" The leopard generals commanded Sun Ji and said indignantly.
"Beat his mother, the prince is loyal to the country, they are still behind the tricks, we just don't want to die, and we have to get this justice for the prince!" The lion generals commanded Dou Jun to also complain about the prince.
"Don't talk nonsense, listen to the prince's orders!" Zhao Yi got up and said, "If the prince has any plans, just say it directly, don't let us worry, whether we leave or stay, we will never leave the prince!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, our hard work for so many years can't be in vain!" Zhao Zhi said with tears in his eyes, the original fifty people have grown to more than 40,000 people now, how much the prince has paid, they are all witnesses.
"Zhao Li, what do you think!" Zhao Ta smiled and asked Zhao Lidao, who was sitting beside him, and everyone's attitude had shown that they were still loyal to themselves and had no second thoughts.
"Lord Wang, I think we should do what I want!" Zhao Li got up and saluted.
"Zhao Li, what do you want to do?" Xu Biao jumped up again and said.
"Xu Biao, sit down and listen to him!" Zhao Ta lowered his face and said, Xu Biao glared at Zhao Li, and shook his fist at him before sitting down.
"The will does not say that the prince wants to leave the northwest, but it is self-evident to adapt our loyal and brave army, it is precisely because they are afraid of the prince that it will be so, if we don't obey the order, those people will have an excuse to further frame the prince, and our loyal and brave army will be adapted according to the order, but they have guns and cannons in their hands, they still don't dare to do anything to the prince!" Zhao Li said, "Now the Jurchens are ready to make a move and want to offend my Great Song, so we just have to wait, things will definitely take a turn for the better!" (To be continued.)
