Seeing that the Chinese officer was smiling, Li Wentong's originally depressed heart opened a crack; However, when he heard that the Chinese military officer said that it was good news, Li Wentong was not happy again. He didn't even take a small Nanshan Fort, but others came with good news, and Li Wentong's depression in his heart can be imagined, so he didn't ask where the good news came from. After the generals arrived, Li Wentong sullenly led the generals of his headquarters across the pontoon bridge and arrived at Hao Jue's tent. It seems that there is a good thing.

After the crowd arrived, Hao Jue announced the good news. Hao Yu said:

"Ben Shuai thought about the stubborn people who defended the enemy in Shanzhou, in order to have luck in his heart, and pointed to his own soldiers and horses to save them. The spies also reported that the enemy army in Kuozhou was gathering and mobilizing, and it could attack at any time, so the commander sent General Ye Shi Liangfu to lead 800 cavalry to Kuozhou to show off his strength. ”

As soon as he heard that Noshi Ryosuke had taken Kuozhou with only 800 cavalry, all the generals in the tent became excited. The attack on Kuzhou for more than a month, the progress was slow, and it was the time when morale was low, and at this time, when he heard the news of the victory, it was no wonder that the big guys were excited. Even Li Wentong's face showed a hint of a smile.

Hao Yu immediately ordered the troops and horses of Ye Shiliangfu's headquarters to go to Kuozhou on the same day to stabilize the situation. Ryosuke Noshi's subordinate agreed loudly. Li Wentong saw that the number of people under his command had decreased by thousands, and just as Chen was about to say, Hao Wei said:

"As for General Li, Wang Maoyuan has already led the First Army of Shence to drive from Hezhou with divine weapons and will arrive in Shanzhou in a few days. After coming, it was controlled by General Li. The attack on Nanshan Fort will be postponed for the time being, and we will talk about it when Wang Maoyuan comes. Taking advantage of this time, the various units had a good rest and drills to restore their morale. ”

Then he read out an official document sent from Youlong Youxingtai, and Wu Yuanheng, the prime minister of the province, had been ordered to be the envoy of the labor army, starting from Chang'an and going to the front line of the labor army. As soon as they heard that the labor army was coming, everyone's spirits were lifted, and they all said that there was another reward, and Hao Yu was so angry that he scolded with a smile:

"Straight lady thief, even if there is a reward, you have to have a face to take it, but when Wu Xianggong came, did you arrange for him to live in Shanzhou City or live in the camp?"

Not to mention Wu Yuanheng, who was already on the road, not long after Wu Yuanheng left Beijing, there was an explosive news in Chang'an City, that is, the emperor issued an edict to appoint Cheng Yiqi, the envoy of the salt and iron division, who had just been criticized by Shilin for drafting the so-called "door road regulations".

"Is this still worth it? The position of prime minister cannot be held unless he has a clear reputation, and he Cheng Cheng is a profit-seeking person who can actually be the prime minister, where is the reason? ”

In the wine shop, a shabby scholar said angrily. The position of the salt and iron division is important, but the reputation of doing the degree branch is often not very good, Cheng Yi has done so many annual envoys, and has long been recognized as a greedy person, such a person has also drafted the so-called door charter, to open the door to the children of merchants (of course, not only the children of merchants, but the scholars automatically block other content), thinking that those businessmen's children who can't lift their heads on weekdays can easily find an official position, but they can't even see the shadow of the door for ten years, and the scholars who are depressed in Xu suddenly agreed.

"Yes, yes, the etiquette is bad, the etiquette is bad!"

"Instead of Cheng Yi doing it, it's really better for Wang Ye to do it. Back then, the officials said that Wang Yi was corrupt and couldn't be a reputation official, but now that Cheng Yi has done it, where are the officials? ”

"Master Bai is now doing assassination in Longyou. As for Li Zhaogong, alas, don't say it, Fu Bo! ”

When Li Jifu was in the center, there were a lot of people who scolded him, and after the stroke, thinking of his bold and resolute and honest style, more and more people missed him. This is also human nature, when you have it, you don't cherish it, and you can't regret it when you lose it. Although Pei Tuzi, who is currently in power, is known for being good at internal affairs and liking to promote talents, everyone thinks that he is a little worse than Li Jifu.

"The two Pei Xianggongs didn't come out to say anything."

A faint sigh came from the corner, just like the bass played on the piano, which played the heartstrings of everyone and could not be calmed down for a long time.

In fact, Pei Du has been advised, but it is useless, whether it is the supervisor Ziqing or after entering the Taiwan Pavilion, Pei Du knows the importance of Du Zhi, and he is also courteous to Cheng Yi, but let Cheng Yi and the same thing, Pei Du thought that it would have a great impact on the reputation of the imperial court, so he advised:

"Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there has been a rule that you do not go to Lizhou County and do not enter the Taiwan Pavilion. Because I haven't served in the state or county, I don't know what the people's feelings are, and I will inevitably go up the ladder when I enter the center. The minister thought that Cheng Yicai had a good character, but he had never worked in the place, which was a big weakness. If His Majesty really wants to use Cheng Yi, the minister thinks that he might as well let him go to the local place to serve as the envoy for a few years. ”

It is indeed feasible to go from a hard-working degree envoy to a local official who is in charge alone, but what Li Yu wants is for Cheng Yi to enter the phase, not to let him increase his qualifications, so naturally he will keep Pei Du's recital. As a result, Cheng Yi himself also thought that it was too unbelievable for him to support Tongping Zhang, and he expressed his strength.

Li Yu sent someone to question him, and Cheng Yi said:

"Since the ministers have followed His Majesty in the East Palace, they have not slackened off on state affairs for a day, but the prime minister is a reputation official, and the ministers are dealing with accounts every day, and they are already full of turbidity, how dare they covet the prime minister? In the previous dynasty, Zhang Jiuling made a rule, not Lizhou County, not into Taiwan Province, this is a good law for all generations, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun through the ages, and the minister does not want the good law to be bad in the hands of His Majesty because of his unworthy subordinates. ”

After hearing the reply, Li Yu was so angry that he only fell, but he had to admit that what Cheng Yi said made sense, and the good law should not be lightly damaged. Although Cheng Yi's two excuses are untenable, one is that Liu Yan, the prime minister of the Dezong period, is a person who deals with money all day long, and Cheng Yi's entry into the prime minister is not a precedent, and the other is that Lu Zhen, the prime minister of the two dynasties, did not go through the state and county. But the two of them are indeed special cases, Lu Yi entered the prime minister at the time of the Four Towns Rebellion, and Liu Yan was also poor in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

What made Li Yu even more troublesome was that Cheng Yi was originally intended to set an example for the poor family and leave hope, but now many poor scholars are quite dissatisfied with Cheng Yi because of this door charter.

How to resolve this situation?
