Talents are rare, and it is even more rare to make good use of talents.

Due to Zhao Pu's improper use of personnel, many problems arose during the reform and Northern Expedition, and Zhang Jun was one of the unfortunate ones.

If Zhang Jun is a magistrate, he is definitely an excellent official, but it is a pity that he was sent to the northwest and became the marshal of the Northwest Army, but there was a problem. Zhang Jun made a mistake, and he can't escape the blame.

"Order, summon Zhang Jun tomorrow!"

Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Zhang Jun has returned to Hangzhou, it has been a month, and it is time to summon him.

…………

It's been a month since I returned to Hangzhou.

In the anxiety, Zhang Jun waited quietly, panicked in his heart, and didn't know what his future fate would be, but the position of the prime minister was about to leave and live a life of degrading!

The defeat in the Battle of Fuping, no matter what the reasons, all the reasons, he could not escape the blame.

At this moment, Zhang Jun can only look around for relationships and people to intercede. However, after some searching, he found that no one was willing to help him.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, even more cruel than the battlefield.

There are many people who fall into the well; There are very few people who send charcoal in the snow.

The so-called human favor is fragile in the face of some big things.

Zhang Jun was dazed, lost, and a little unclear, quietly waiting for the emperor's ruling. Finally, news came from the palace that the emperor was going to summon him in the martial arts hall.

"Xuan Zhang Jun goes to the palace!" A little eunuch said.

"Weichen Command!"

In trembling, Zhang Jun walked into the main hall.

Speak of the martial arts. There are no luxurious furnishings, some are just rough mines, bold. And on top. Zhao Pu, who was sitting under the young emperor's majesty, had not seen him for two years, and his majesty the emperor began to grow a beard.

There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm.

Growing a beard can bring dignity to people and reduce the feeling of contempt brought by being too young.

Zhao Pu's largest capital. That is, he is young and has enough time to cultivate and recuperate, and accumulate national strength. Survive the enemy one by one and achieve the most victorious victory; But he is too young, which is also his biggest shortcoming, his young age. Give the ministers a sense of contempt. I think this emperor is a bully.

In the years when Zhao Pu had just ascended the throne, some courtiers specially fought with Zhao Pu and fought against Zhao Pu, just with contempt and wanted to use this to empty the emperor.

After all, power is limited, and if the emperor's power is too great, the power of the courtiers will be relatively reduced.

In order to seize power, it is better to suppress the emperor.

It's a pity. Zhao Pu is not willing to be Chongzhen, how can he hand over a series of powers. So there was a later confrontation. After a series of battles, the power of the monarch and the minister finally reached a relative balance.

And after that, Zhao Pu began to grow a beard and pretend to be deep!

Sweeping from the corner of his eye, Zhang Jun felt that this emperor was even more unfathomable.

If it is said that two years ago, this emperor was a sword, sharp and unmatched, giving people a sense of fierceness and incomparability; And at this moment, the emperor is like a mountain, like the sea, giving people a sense of unfathomable.

The emperor has matured a lot, Zhang Jun said silently in his heart.

"Sit down!" The emperor spoke, only two cold words.

"Wechen thanks!"

Zhang Jun sat on the chair with an expressionless face, sitting there slightly.

Zhao Pu carefully observed Zhang Jun.

Physiognomy is a person's annual rings, and observing physiognomy can reveal the essence of a person.

At this moment, Zhang Jun's eyes were a little haggard, obviously tortured by the defeat; And the body is even more dusty, as if extremely tired; And Zhang Jun has a kind of literati temperament, but also a trace of heroic spirit of a military general.

When he didn't see Zhang Jun, Zhao Pu had a grudge against Zhang Jun, hated him to death, and had the urge to cut people; It's just that after seeing Zhang Jun, the urge to cut people in my heart disappeared. In my mind, only eight words flashed, "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I have no power to return to the sky."

A sense of sympathy rose in Zhao Pu's heart.

He is the same kind of person as Zhang Jun himself.

Zhang Jun is good at talking about soldiers on paper, and when he ascended the throne in the Daimyo's Mansion, he followed him, talking about the art of war, talking about military politics, and there are many unique features, which is also the reason why Zhao Pu put Zhang Jun in the northwest.

Good at strategy, good at planning, but short of actual combat, for tactics.

In the overall situation, it can be better grasped, but in the details of the operation, there are too many deficiencies.

This is very similar to him, Zhao Pu is essentially talking on paper, and the big strategy is okay, but in practice, there are constant drawbacks. It's like this four-way northern expedition, and the plan is decoupled from reality again and again.

In Zhao Pu's plan, the middle route army attacked Bianliang, mainly to contain it; The Eastern Route Army had the most soldiers and horses, mainly to seize Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places and eliminate part of the main force of the Jin Army; The Western Route Army mainly held on to a part of the Jin Army; On the sea road, there are some colors of encircling Wei to save Zhao.

It's a pity that in actual combat, the middle route army, which was originally a partial division, fought the most brilliantly, overshadowing other armies; The East Route Army, which had high hopes, in addition to rushing to the road, was a confrontation, which lasted for more than a year, and the pursuit after the most dismal results were also dismal; The Western Route Army, which was originally mainly defensive, turned out to be an active offensive and suffered heavy losses.

The sea route, mainly to encircle Wei to save Zhao, harassment and attack, turned out to be a general battle.

In short, there was a great decoupling between actual operations and planning, but fortunately, the decoupling was strong, but the goal was implemented.

"Zhang Jun, you are guilty!"

Suddenly, Zhao Pu shouted, his expression was a little hideous, his expression was very angry, but his heart was extremely calm.

This is the performing art of the emperor, when he is angry, but the mood is calm; When he was calm, he was angry. The emperor pays attention to the anger and is not visible, in essence, he is moody, so that the world can not grasp the rhythm.

"Weichen, guilty!"

Zhang Jun got up and knelt on the ground, and finally let go of his uneasy mood.

The emperor scolds people with his mouth, which is better than not scolding with his mouth, keep it in his heart.

"Can you write a plea?"

"Wechen has already written, and he has already handed in three points!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Pu nodded and said to the eunuch on the side: "Find it out for me!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly went down, and in the basket, began to search.

There are too many excerpts, and there are so many that I can't approve them at all. Although there is a cabinet responsible for handling a large part, there are still a lot of them. Some are unimportant, Zhao Pu didn't look at them at all. And Zhang Jun's three guilty excerpts, Zhao Pu didn't read it.

Soon after, the eunuch found three excerpts, which were the excerpts of Zhang Jun's plea.

Zhang Jun was still kneeling, and Zhao Pu began to look through the guilty fold.

Please be guilty, the writing is very literary, but there is a lot of nonsense.

It's very literary because it's a prose with outstanding style; But there is also a lot of nonsense, the main thing is that Zhao Pu is the emperor, and he is not in the mood and has no time to read prose. For a limited time, the maximum amount of work must be made.

Therefore, most of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are long when they have words, and short when they have no words, and strive to be concise and clear.

However, Zhang Jun has obviously been a local marshal for a long time, and he has not yet gotten used to the rhythm of the officials in the capital.

The first petition mainly describes in detail the course of the battle, the reasons for the defeat, and the complex relationship between the various factions of the Northwest Army. There is not a single word in the article to ask for guilt, nor does it point out that there are many factions in the northwest, and it is difficult to cooperate, resulting in defeat, but it gives people a clear perspective and restores a trace of the battlefield.

The second part of the guilty excerpt is mainly about their own shortcomings, mostly blaming their own shortcomings, such as being ambitious and talented, underestimating the enemy, and so on. Because there are too many self-accusations, but it gives people a sense of sincerity, Zhao Pu is embarrassed to accuse again.

The third petition is mainly to retreat as advance, and ask His Majesty to punish severely to improve military discipline.

Three excerpts, Zhao Pu has already said what he wants to say, and there is no point in talking about it.

Zhao Pu was in a complicated mood, and a trace of hideousness flashed in his heart, as expected, there was no simple character in the officialdom, and they all said that the ancients were simple. is a simple fart, at least Zhang Jun is not simple at all.

It's right to think about it, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp in the officialdom!

Fuel-efficient lamps can't mix with officialdom!

Isn't Jang Junbi guilty? Then keep kneeling!

One will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies. A general can find countless reasons for mistakes, but no amount of reasons can avoid mistakes.

Kneel for a while longer, it can be regarded as forgiveness for the sins of the soldiers who died! (To be continued......)
