260, the first knot
Fang Xuanling mentioned the original agreement, that is, if Jingwen can have the ability to command the war, then Li Shimin should let Jingwen be the commander of the shameful army. Now that Jingwen has defeated Zhang Shigui, doesn't that mean that Jingwen has the ability to command the war? Isn't Li Shimin going to appoint Jingwen as the commander of this shameful army? But Li Shimin actually didn't want to appoint Jingwen as the coach, because there were too many problems. If Jing Wen is appointed as this coach, I am afraid that the consequences will be very strict.
Jingwen was only a six-rank petty official before, and his status was very low for a full house of officials. As for comparing with those famous players, it is even more incomparable. According to the plan, this Snow Shame Army is the size of a guard, about 40,000 people. A general of Wei, at least a third-rank official. If Jing Wen is appointed as this general, I'm afraid that it won't make people rise to many levels in a row? Will those officials be impetuous? Because if someone can be promoted a few levels in a row, then many officials will probably think about slapping horses, instead of thinking about doing practical things. Once the upper and lower levels are formed, I am afraid that the atmosphere of the court will deteriorate. This is the most difficult thing for Li Shimin to do. But Fang Xuanling actually said this problem, isn't this a pot that can't be opened?
And Fang Xuanling walked up to Li Shimin and whispered: "Your Majesty, now that Jingwen has won the hearts of the people of Pingyu County, I'm afraid that no one else will be able to command them." Therefore, now I am afraid that only Jingwen can do it. What's more, Zhang Shigui's behavior before made them very sad, so I'm afraid they won't support other generals of my Datang to serve as their heads. Therefore, we must erect the sign of Jingwen. ”
"So what can you do? Is there any way so that they don't have the consequences of being too strict? Li Shimin asked.
Fang Xuanling then said something next to Li Shimin's ear, and Li Shimin immediately flashed a fine light and smiled.
"Jingwen listens to orders!" Li Shimin shouted.
"The minister is here!" Jingwen immediately said respectfully.
"I appointed you as the envoy of the Snow Shame Army, and controlled the dispatch of the 40,000 troops of the Snow Shame Army. As for the holy decree, I will make up for it when I go back later," Li Shimin said.
When Jingwen heard the words "Jiedu Envoy", his heart trembled. Others may not know what these three words mean. Jingwen knew that the festival envoy represented the demise of the Tang Dynasty. In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, wasn't it just a large group of Jiedu envoys who divided the Quartet and became warlords? And Jingwen heard that Li Shimin had appointed him as the envoy of the festival, and he suddenly shuddered. Because the Jiedu envoy is in Jingwen's heart, it means that he is a warlord, but the emperor actually canonized himself as a Jiedu envoy, is this scolding himself for being a warlord? Now in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, isn't being a warlord looking for death? Li Shimin is not a mediocre talent, where does Jingwen dare to be a warlord!
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to take orders!" Jingwen immediately pleaded.
Li Shimin immediately asked, "Why don't you dare to take the order?" This is my appointment. Don't you accept it? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to be the envoy of this festival, please ask the emperor or invite another master, right?" Jingwen said.
"What's wrong with this knot? Is there a problem? Li Shimin asked.
"This ......"
Jingwen didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't explain that the Jiedu envoys were warlords one by one, right?
"Jingwen, the festival envoy is the imperial court granted the festival, so that you can have the right to command the soldiers. Since there is a word 'make' in it, it represents a temporary position. The Jiedu Envoy is a temporary position, and you are only temporarily serving as the commander of this disgraced army. If you are not qualified, the court will revoke your position at any time. There is nothing in this knot. Why are you crying with a sad face? Fang Xuanling also asked with some confusion.
The name of this festival envoy was thought up by Fang Xuanling, but he didn't expect Jingwen to be so sensitive, which made him a little surprised.
And Jingwen listened to Fang Xuanling's explanation. Only then did I remember that there were many "envoys" in the Tang Dynasty, such as transit envoys, and there were many observation envoys. The vast majority of these official positions with the word "envoy" were temporarily appointed by the emperor. It is not a permanent official position. And this festival is obviously also a temporary official position, an official position that can be revoked at any time. But Jingwen was also muttering, how did this festival later develop into a synonym for warlords? This scene is not very clear. But Jingwen was not interested in understanding clearly.
"It turned out to be just a coincidence! I thought Li Shimin was suspicious of me, but it turned out to be a coincidence. Jiedu envoy was not synonymous with warlords originally, and Emperor Li Shimin probably didn't expect that Jiedu envoys would become synonymous with warlords in the future! Jing Wen thought with a sigh of relief.
And Jingwen didn't understand for a while, in fact, Li Shimin's establishment of this position was actually just a decision made to take off Jingwen's position at any time. Because Li Shimin doesn't seem to want Jingwen to be the commander of this shameful army, but if Jingwen is officially appointed as a general, it is a third-grade official position, but it is a formal position. Formal positions are not so easy to get rid of, and they don't have a good impact. And the temporary establishment of a temporary "dispatch" is not a big problem. Because this is only temporary, and the emperor can revoke it at any time, this is equivalent to the emperor appointing someone to do something, and it is not a real official position, so it will not cause too bad an impact.
"Okay, Jingwen, don't you thank the emperor for his trust?" Fang Xuanling said.
"Thank you for the emperor's trust, I will be conscientious and lead the shameful army well." Jingwen said.
When those generals saw Jing Wen's appearance, they all shook their heads secretly. Because everyone obviously knew Li Shimin's thoughts, they deliberately regarded this shameful army as a temporary army, and did not plan to establish it permanently. Even the number one leader of the Snow Shame Army is a temporary position, so the emperor's intentions are of course very obvious. Jingwen couldn't really gain the emperor's trust, because Jingwen was just a courtier after all. This is not that the emperor is worried that Jingwen will rebel, but that he does not trust Jingwen's ability and does not trust him to be able to manage an army well. Once something goes wrong with Jingwen, then I'm afraid the emperor will send another person to take his place. This is the importance of the so-called first impression of human beings, Jingwen's first impression of Li Shimin, that is, a chef, and then a riddler. No matter how you look at this kind of person, there is a big distance from the general who leads the army to fight! Therefore, Li Shimin did not trust Jingwen's ability to lead troops.
