Chapter 187 - Losing Big Because of Small Things
"The minister recommended another clan brother to finish me and succeed to the post of general of the Zuotun Guard!"
When Ying Chong's sentence came out, Ying Chong had already guessed what he meant, and he couldn't help but look at Ying Chong again.
Is this an exchange? Do you want to provoke him to fight with the king again, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman? Only if he fully supports me will this person help him in the selection of the general of Zuojin Wuwei, right?
But why did this guy fall in love with the general of the Zuotun Guard? Although he was a second-class military position, he was one of the 16 generals of the government army, and he was in charge of the military power of more than 60 local government offices and was in charge of 90,000 government troops.
But after all, this is the local government military system, and its status is only half a step higher than the left town guard of the Guangyou Army that I served as before. Compared to General Zuo Jin Wuwei, named Fu Bing, he is actually a forbidden army, and his status is stronger than the other fourteen government soldiers.
After winning the victory, I will be promoted from this position to the general of the Zhu Kingdom, but it is extremely difficult.
Obviously, there is a better way to go, but he prefers to work hard for a few more years in the position of the general of the Zuotun Guard.
Ying Qu felt that it was better to let Ying finish and I continue to serve in the Guangyou Army and wait for the opportunity.
But just when he was full of thoughts and difficult to decide, one more person came out of the many civil officials on the left. This man is about sixty years old, although he is skinny, but he is in good spirits: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that An Guogong's words are reasonable. Only by changing the local military posts from time to time can we prevent the disaster of the feudal towns! After winning my talents, I am more than qualified to be the general of the Zuotun Guards. ”
When this person came out of the ranks, the entire Taizheng Hall suddenly fell silent. This is the reign of the Rong Guogong, the privy envoy Lu Zhengen, in the court's powerful position, second only to the prime minister of the dynasty. He was also one of the generals of Zhenguo twenty years ago, and he had supreme authority in the army.
It was only at this time that everyone in the hall vaguely remembered. The father of that Ying Chong, Ying Shen, is one of the most proud protégés and disciples of this privy envoy, passing on his mantle.
And immediately afterwards, among the military ministers on the right, there was also a person, but Lu Wenjin, the king of Jingbei County, one of the kings of the three counties: "The minister seconded the proposal, I have made great achievements in the war, and I have won nothing for the imperial court to defend the eastern border in the past four years, and the imperial court needs to raise its merits with a prominent position to encourage the future!"
When this person appeared, everyone in this hall knew that the candidate for the general of the Zuotun Guard Army had been decided, and there was no doubt about it. At this time, Ye Yuanlang, the king of Wuwei County, also smiled and saluted to the Holy Emperor: "The minister also seconded the proposal!"
In the Taizheng Palace, there was already a dead silence. The Heavenly Saint Emperor glanced at Ying Chong with interest, and then smiled: "Since the four Qing families have recommended it, I must have lived up to my expectations after winning the victory, and this matter is approved." From now on, I will be transferred to the post of general of the Zuotun Guard!"
When the words came out, this rare eye revealed a bit of relaxation and pleasure.
On the side of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, Mi Chaotian had complicated eyes and withdrew his gaze from Ying Chong. I thought to myself that this general of the Zuotun Guard Army was afraid that it was Ying Chong who really wanted to complete my official position for Yingchong.
But although this person has selfish intentions, everything he does is beneficial to the country. Now only after winning a warlike general like me can he sit in Yuanzhou, the jurisdiction of the Zuotun Guard, can His Majesty truly feel at ease.
This is probably what the saint admires most about An Guogong, not just because of blood kinship.
At this time, I am afraid that only he and His Majesty can guess the true intentions of this small prince.
Ying was ignorant for a while, and at this time, he didn't understand Ying Chong's meaning. Since this person can decide on the candidate for the general of the Zuotun Guard Army with only his own strength, why should he push out Ying Shouguo to help him fight for Zuo Jin Wuwei?
Is it just to avenge the collusion between this guy and Ying Yuandu?
Thinking of Ying Chong's temperament, Ying Qu couldn't help but shake his head. It's not that it's impossible, but Ying Chong is more suspicious of Ying Chong's deep meaning.
But no matter what the situation is, he is ready to fight for the position of General Zuo Jin Wuwei with all his might.
At this moment, the royal family felt a slight pain in his heart, as if there was a piece of meat in his chest that had been dug up by Yingchong.
Hidden in a sense of being deceived, this guy behind him seems to be waiting for him to take the initiative to propose that Wang Beichen, the former general of the Zuotun Guard, can be transferred to his post when his term of office expires.
At this time, before he could get his left Jin Wuwei, Wang Beichen had already lost his way back. Now if you want to regret it, you can't get it, whether it is the privy envoy Lu Zhengen or the king of Jingbei County, Lu Wenjin, they are all respected veterans in the army, and they are also full of words in the court. The two joined forces, and it was definitely beyond his ability to disobey.
What's more, in addition to this, there is also a Wuwei County King Ye Yuenlang. At this time, even if several deputy envoys of the Privy Council joined forces, they could not reverse the matter.
"The minister still has this music!"
Ying Chong's face has turned from cloudy to sunny, and he has finally finalized the whereabouts of the eldest brother's next term. Not only did the situation not fall into the worst situation he imagined, but because of the intervention of the royal family, he reaped great benefits.
The mood was excited, but Ying Chong suppressed himself, took out a notebook from his sleeve and held it in front of his forehead.
- Previously, it was because Ying Yuandu and others provoked in advance, so he had to deal with it on the spot, and a skirmish broke out for several generals and Jiedu envoys. Originally, the book in Ying Chong's hand was what he really wanted to do in the court today.
"The minister heard that Li Jing, the Cheng of Mayi County, had been known for his military exploits during his tenure in Mayi County, and had been in charge of the local government army several times to repel the Xiongnu invasions, with both wisdom and bravery, and the army was extraordinary. The minister is willing to recommend the virtuous for the country, and recommend this person to be transferred from civil to military and transferred to the defense envoy of Mayi County. ”
The defense envoy is also a government military system, but the official rank is different, some large county defense envoys can be three grades, and their status is almost the same as that of the border army, and the small ones are less than five grades.
Mayi is a fourth-class county, with a population of only 400,000, and it is only because of being in the border area that the defense envoy of Namayi is listed as a fifth-rank military attaché, and the official rank exceeds that of the local county guard. Li Jing's transfer from the position of the sixth-rank lower county to the fifth-rank martial arts position is also appropriate.
At this time, there was no opposition in the DPRK and China, and Ying Chong, as the Duke of Anguo, already had the right to recommend four fifth-grade military attachés.
Within his authority, even the deacons of the Privy Council of the Cabinet of Political Affairs came forward to stop it. So even a few people who hate Ying Chong into their bone marrow are unwilling to waste their efforts for this Li Jing.
"Li Jing?"
The Heavenly Saint Emperor seemed to have heard this name for the first time, and when Mi Chaotian handed over the Yingchong playbook, he looked at it carefully, and then frowned, and his eyes were slightly clear: "Zhun Qing's play, and give Li Jing's mother four orders, Dongzhu Yidou, to show the previous achievements!"
Ying Chong heard the anger in the words of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, but a talent like Li Jing was trapped in a border area for several years and could not be promoted, and could not even reach the ears of the emperor, how could he not make the Heavenly Saint Emperor angry?
-- His Majesty's temper in his youth has always been known for his irritability.
And when Ying Chong just retreated to the group of ministers, behind the 6,000 court officials in the hall, there was a six-rank green-robed petty official, who walked out slowly under the surprised eyes of many colleagues. Until he stopped fifty zhang in front of His Majesty, knelt down with a book of music.
"The governor of the state of Jizhou, the governor of the imperial history, released the crane, impeached the governor of the river, who was corrupt and bribery, and the corpse was vegetarian! This person has ruled the river for many years, but it has not been effective. The imperial court spends tens of millions of river silver every year for its spending, but most of the embankments along the Jizhou section of the Yangjiang River are deserted. He also privately levied tens of millions of gold in river silver, anointed the people with fat, and half of them shared fertilizer with their colleagues, but none of them benefited the people along the coast. And the river officials who are mentioned are more assigned, and they sell the lords and officials, and they have no scruples-"
Before he finished speaking, the entire Taizheng Hall couldn't help but be in an uproar again, surprised that a small imperial history from the sixth rank actually dared to impeach a second-rank member of the dynasty.
Ying Chong smiled softly, and put his hands in his sleeves with satisfaction, although there was an accident today, what he wanted to do was basically achieved. Next, it's just a matter of waiting for the harvest.
Behind him, Ying Yuandu was pale, looking at Ying Chong's back, his eyes were both annoyed and puzzled.
Annoyed that among the Wuyang Ying clan, another person defected. I don't understand because it's hard to know Yingchong's intentions, this son is obviously still fighting with several of them, but why did he make a move against Baili Changxi?
The Baili family is also a second-class world valve, although it is ranked last in the court, but its strength is also good. This clan is entrenched in the river all the year round, not only the family is very rich, but also supports dozens of people.
Ying Chong offended this person for no reason, what benefit can he get?
※※※※
Half an hour later, the ministers finally waited for the end of the court meeting.
Although the words used fiercely and sonorously when Ying Fang Crane went to the book, this impeachment was fruitless after all.
First, the evidence provided by Yingfanghe still needs to be confirmed one by one; second, a river governor, when the second-rank officials of the dynasty go to stay, involving all aspects, even many bigwigs in the political hall need to be cautious, it is by no means a small six-rank official of Yingfanghe, it can be decided.
In the end, the Heavenly Saint Emperor spoke, suppressed the matter and discussed it again, and sent a powerful person from the Right Capital Procuratorate to contract the embroidered clothes and guards to inspect the details along the Yangjiang River together, and inspect the governor of the river for a hundred miles to stop lawlessness.
As soon as the dynasty dispersed, Mi Chaotian had already pulled Ying Chong into the corner to talk privately, and at the beginning, his eyes were meaningful: "Lord An Guogong, this time is really good-hearted!"
"What does Mi Gonggong mean by this?"
Ying Chong knew that he was hiding it, but he still pretended to be confused, and put on an ignorant look: "Forgive the little nephew for not understanding, what is the little nephew scheming?"
"The Holy One said that you are a bastard, and he is really not wrong. ”
Mi Chaotian shook his head slightly, too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, and went straight to the point: "Presumably in a few months, after winning my general, I will definitely get the reward of Uncle Hou." However, there are also a few private individuals who need to be taken care of by the prince and my general. ”
Speaking of which, he also felt that Ying Chong and An Guofu a few months ago were still in danger, and they needed His Majesty's support to gain a foothold. But now he is qualified to make a deal with the Heavenly Saint Emperor.
The general of the Zuotun Guard led Yuanzhou to 60 folds to the Duwei's Mansion, and the territory under his jurisdiction was in the central area of this catastrophe.
Once the flood in March arrives as scheduled and the displaced people are in turmoil, then Yingwan, who is the general of the Zuotun Guard, will be the commander of the counterinsurgency army. With this ability to command the army, coupled with the private army of the two towns of Anguo Mansion, the rebellion will be put down in the shortest possible time.
If the scale of the rebellion of the displaced people is not large, it will be fine, but if this flood disaster exceeds expectations, then I can even rely on this battle to seal it in one fell swoop, which is a step to the sky.
As long as his cultivation is promoted to the Xuantian position, then it is logical to become one of the pillar kingdoms of the current dynasty in the future.
The king's name is prestigious, but this time he was calculated by Yingchong, it can really be said that he lost a big loss because of a small loss, and lost a lord of the Marquis in vain.
Mi Chaotian was quite curious, what would this person feel afterwards?
