Chapter 648: Deliberations
The pro-poke here ^_^ for the praise.
It's being repaired, so I'll see later.
***
The two state officials who had been waiting for half a day to report on their work were not summoned, and Zheng Shixiu, who was urgently summoned, was not summoned, but secretly returned to Beijing for less than two days.
Seeing such an arrangement, the two state officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work had a little difficulty on their faces.
Hindering Zheng Shixiu sitting on the side, Fang Cai and Gu Yanzhang were very close, I don't know what the relationship is, and the two of them are not good at complaining in front of him, so they only exchanged an annoyed look with each other.
One person whispered: "No matter how champion Lang is, you must also pay attention to the first come, first come!" ”
The other person snorted from his nostrils and said, "I don't see you wearing a scarlet robe!" But wearing all green, what virtue! ”
The two of them were not loud, but they were not so small that the people sitting on the side couldn't hear them, and finally the man finished speaking, and suddenly reacted, the two of them in this room are just nine officials, both of them are wearing green robes, this time scolding, but they are also carrying themselves, and their mouths are open for a while, and they look at the old man next to them, and the two of them are full of embarrassment.
Zheng Shixiu didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, just pretended that he hadn't heard anything.
- No matter how sour the head is after the good comes, in the end, I can't say that I still have to be the last to meet you...... Why bother with so much nonsense, it's better to save energy......
You know, the more you talk, the drier your mouth becomes, but the yellow door under the head is not that hard to come in and take care of it from time to time, this summer, when the tea is drunk, in addition to enduring, where is there any other way to think.
If you are accidentally called into the temple suddenly, and there is a lot of water in your abdomen for a while, do you still have to ask Your Majesty for a crime and go out to find a bucket of congratulations?
Thinking of this, although his face was silent, Zheng Shixiu couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
He sat here alone, and the folds in his sleeves had already been memorized, and there was nothing else to do, which was strange and boring, so he picked up the tea cup on the side and tasted the tea slowly.
Lift the lid, there is no heat at all, the tea used to perfunctory courtiers in the palace will naturally not be a good product, the tea is cold, and it is bitter to drink it.
He turned half sideways, and on the one hand, he looked at the colorful faces of the two officials opposite, and on the other hand, he drank the bitter tea, and actually tasted a little sweet.
Well...... Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo and purple are also two rainbows worth appreciating.
***
Although Zheng Shixiu didn't know the cause and effect, he had also been a confidant of Zhao Rui for two years, and he could somewhat speculate that this should be the Son of Heaven in the palace and the important ministers discussing the war in Guangnan.
There are not many ministers in the DPRK who are familiar with the situation in Quang Nam, and there are a few who have served as officials in Guizhou and Yongzhou, but that was only one or two decades ago.
It is said that 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, so long has passed, Guangnan has repeatedly experienced wars in more than ten years, to say a bad word, the fields that used to be planted with rice do not know whether they are growing grass or vegetables, and Yang Kui, who is most familiar with the situation in Guangnan in the Privy Council, has died, Chen Hao is guarding Yongzhou, and as for the rest of the officials, there are also many who are sitting in other states and important places of military intelligence.
When he encountered such a green and yellow reception, it was no wonder that he had to summon Gu Yanzhang, who had just returned from Yongzhou, into the palace for inquiry.
Compared with the matter of impeachment to be impeached, the military intelligence of the Great Jin crusade against Jiaozhi is naturally more than a little more important, and after figuring out this, Zheng Shixiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his family being thrown aside and sitting on the cold bench.
Once Gu Yanzhang entered the palace and could ask, he would not only be limited to the military situation in Guangnan and Jiaozhi, but also most of the details about the reconstruction of the state city and the relief of refugees.
I don't know what the Son of Heaven and the important ministers of the two governments will ask Yanzhang, and what officials will be appointed to him this time......
While thinking about it, Zheng Shixiu drank tea, but felt that time was not so sad.
***
Zheng Shixiu's speculation was not wrong.
In the Chongzheng Palace, it was indeed Zhao Rui, the Son of Heaven, who was discussing with the important ministers of the two governments, but when he summoned Gu Yanzhang into the palace, it was all by mistake.
More than an hour ago, Zhao Rui, who was sitting in the Chongzheng Palace, only felt a thumping in his brain, as if a few people had taken root in his brain, beating gongs and drums in turn, and they didn't stop for a moment.
Guo Shizhong, the privy envoy at the bottom, argued with reason: "Your Majesty, Jiaozhi wants to fight, but the dynasty can't ignore it!" Tongchuan, Yazhou, and Luzhou were in turmoil one after another, and Dali was also faintly moving, and Fuzhou was even calmed down, and it was necessary to garrison the soldiers, as for Qinzhou...... It has always been the key point, how can you ignore it! Now that the Jinghu Xiang Army has been transferred to Guangnan, and the security army has also drawn 10,000, the Zhenguo Army will never move again! ”
He paused, and immediately said: "Jiaozhi must be conquered, but for the sake of Jiaozhi, the northern and western lands cannot be put in the back of your mind!" It must be known that the feudal people of Qinzhou, the barbarians of Xiazhou, and the other Zhending, Fuzhou, where the barbarians are not vegetarians! What's more, since last year's abolition of the Guangxin Army, Yanzhou, Sichuan and Shu have been short of troops, once the troops are weak, there has been no letter back from the front of Jiaozhi, if someone takes advantage of the weakness, where should the troops be transferred! Is it so difficult to call back the army that traveled to Fuliangjiang from Jiaozhi?! ”
As soon as Guo Shizhong's words fell, Fan Yaochen, who was standing aside, said: "The privy secretary's words are wrong, since Yang Pingzhang returned to the dynasty, Yanzhou has been leveled, and there are no more than three of the northern barbarians, even if he has the intention to commit it, he can't afford to call so many troops, and last time he said that he would draw 30,000 troops from the security army and the Zhenguo army to go south, and Zhou Qing didn't ......say anything about it."
Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Guo Shizhong: "Zhou Qing didn't say anything? Why do I see it differently from participating in politics? Although Zhou Qing did not oppose the compromise in the previous time, but in the layout map of Yanzhou's troops attached to the back, if it is arranged, there will be no half of the soldiers left, where will you get someone to transfer to Guangnan? ”
"Privy! There is no important war in Yanzhou, how can you use the arrangement of the previous battle with the Northern Barbarians to distribute troops! Huang Zhaoliang, who had been standing aside silently, suddenly stood up, not only that, but also stood in Fan Yaochen's place with a clear banner, "In the past, there were tens of thousands of troops outside Yanzhou, and there was naturally no problem with that arrangement, but now, the national strength of the Northern Barbarians has long been weak, and it is no longer appropriate to use so many people to defend Yanzhou?!" ”
He also said: "Not only Yanzhou, but also Fuzhou and Jizhou, although these two places have had chaos in the past, but the culprit Fan Jiong has been ambushed, and the rest of the party has been ambushed, and the people are just dragged down by it, and they don't need the security army to guard it, as long as the local requisition of the Xiang army is brave, it can pacify the place......"
The words were conclusive, as if they stood in front of Zhao Rui last time and insisted that Fan Jiong was only "missing", not dead, and that Zhang Dingya and Gu Yanzhang could not be credited because of this.
Zhao Rui sat on the top, listening to the noisy people below, knowing that there would be no result in this place for a while, and there was still time to take the leisure to look at Huang Zhaoliang carefully for a long time, and carefully identify whether his own big ginseng was burning badly for a while, and said nonsense.
- Huang Zhaoliang, who has always said Fan Yaochen to the east, he wants to say west, Fan Yaochen wants to go south, and he wants to go north, but Huang Zhaoliang changed his sex overnight and stood on the same team with Fan Yaochen!
As the people below became more and more fierce, Zhao Rui also understood more and more.
The loudest courtiers below, each with their own thoughts, although everyone said that they were for the "national dynasty", for the "Great Jin", and for the "Son of Heaven", in fact, they were all just for themselves.
Guo Shizhong sat in the seat of the privy envoy, and he did not want to go too smoothly in the southern expedition this time.
If Chen Hao wants something, the court will give it, he is originally a general, good at conquest, and is also very familiar with the situation in Guangnan, once he pacifies Jiaozhi and opens up territory, this is naturally a great thing for the rest of the people, but for Guo Shizhong, Chen Hao, who returned to the dynasty with this immortal achievement, is bound to threaten his position as a privy envoy.
After all, he is not Yang Kui, although he is also from the military camp, but he climbed to this position, more by relying on the promotion of the Son of Heaven, to balance the former Yang and Fan two parties, when it comes to the prestige in the army, Mo said that if he wants to compare with Yang Kui, he is on a par with Chen Hao, which is a little reluctant.
Now the situation in the DPRK is different from before, it is no longer the opposition between the two parties of Yang and Fan, but the two parties of Huang and Fan, and there are the old people of the former Yang Party led by Chen Hao on the side, and Sun Bian unites Fan Yaochen for a while, and stands in Huang Zhaoliang's place for a while, although it is still a little unstable, but the Son of Heaven no longer needs a person in the Privy Council to balance the partisan dispute as before.
For Guo Shizhong, Chen Hao can make meritorious contributions, but he can't make too much merit.
It was not an easy task to fight in the south, as long as he was not too satisfied in terms of troops and materials, he could have a great impact on the battle situation.
But for Fan Yaochen and Huang Zhaoliang, it is another kind of concern - Gu Yanzhang has returned to Beijing, and his seat has already filled in their people.
The two factions are not on the same mind, so naturally they argue endlessly.
