Chapter 40 Discussion and Table
The small discussion that started at noon took far longer than expected, and it didn't end until dusk, and the old and weak people like Bonu and Xu Yan could hardly hide their fatigue. Xiao Yu instructed Moshu to prepare dinner, and everyone in the house could rest here for a while.
Xiao Yu quickly got up, called Lin Han, and took the lead in leaving Wen Tizhai with Xiao Jin. Then, Xu Lin and Xu Yan also left their seats, and after these people left, the atmosphere in Wen Tizhai suddenly relaxed, and people who knew each other began to talk in twos and threes.
Lan Yu always sat in her position and didn't get up, nor did she mean to talk to others, but after Xiao Yu left, she leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, put her hands on her knees, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Min Xing on the side stood up, hesitated slightly, and stopped talking.
Lan Yu opened her eyes, smiled and asked, "I don't know what happened to Zhixing (Min Xing, the word Zhixing)?"
Min Xing said softly, "Mr. Lan, can you take a step to speak?"
Lan Yu smiled and nodded, and got up to leave with Min Xing.
Both of them are powerful figures in the northwest, both in terms of qualifications and merits, they can be called important ministers, and it is just ordinary to enter and exit the palace, so they are no strangers to here. Min Xing hesitated for a moment and said: "The prince seems to be interested in entering Shuzhou, and today's small discussion is for this matter, but it is a certain dull and difficult to decide, and I hope Mr. Lan will teach me." ”
Lan Yu pondered for a while, and said: "Entering Shuzhou, you can't get around Shaanzhou and Hanoi, now the commander of Shaanzhou is Chen Han, the commander of Hanoi Prefecture is Wei Ban, Chen Han is a person from Xiliangzhou, Wei Ban is an old man in Zhongdu, as for Han Xiong, the chief military officer of Hanoi Prefecture, he is not a good general, but the prince is suspicious, he wants to reuse Wei Ban, but he is suspicious because of the incident of Wei Chi back then. Focusing on the big picture and stationing from a small place, the prince acts in his own rules, and he will never act rashly, can't he see through Zhixing?"
Min Xing's eyes lit up, and he said with a little surprise: "Could it be that you say?"
Although Min Xing didn't finish his words, Lan Yu had already nodded.
The two sides already knew that Min Xing just wanted to ask for a reassurance pill from Lan Yu.
Chen Han is the former commander-in-chief of Xiliangzhou, while Wei Ban is the commander of the Central Capital, and even Han Xiong is also an old man in the Central Capital, and finally there is a general with enough prestige to lead the overall situation, looking at the northwest, except for Xu Lin, only Minxing is the most suitable for this position. Not only because he is the first person under Xu Lin, but more importantly, he was once stationed in Xiliangzhou, and he was still an old man in Zhongdu, and he had old friends with both commanders, and he was the undisputed best candidate in terms of qualifications and ability.
Min Xing himself also thought of this, but he was a little uncertain, and even had some hidden worries, if the princess blew the pillow wind, Xiao Yu insisted on using Lin Han, then it means that if the war goes well, Lin Han will take advantage of this battle to become the biggest beneficiary, and become the commander of the army second only to Xu Lin, so he will come to ask Lan Yu for a reassurance.
Now Lan Yu gave an affirmative answer, and the city government of Minxing could not hide its joy. If he can lead the troops into Shuzhou as the commander of the army, even if he really sits firmly in the position of the second person in the Northwest Army, after the Metropolitan Governor Xu Lin retreats, he will naturally take the position and become the first person in the Northwest Army, so how can he not like it?
The joy on Min Xing's face flashed, because he suddenly remembered that in this wave of changes, Lan Yu was actually the most frustrated person, Xu Lin was gradually diluting his influence in the army, but his grandson Xu Yan had entered the official career, which was regarded as a gain and a loss, Chen Han, Bonu and others seemed to be demoted, but everyone knew that once the war started, the commander and political envoy of the three products on the front line were far more popular than the governor and the governor and the commander in the rear, but Lan Yu, not only did he not get anything, but he was also given authority, and he was the most frustrated. In Min Xing's view, Xiao Yu may give Lan Yu a compensation, and the long talk between the two is the best proof of this, but I don't know if this compensation can make up for Lan Yu's lost authority as the great butler of the Northwest?
Lan Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ups and downs are the norm, how else to call the ups and downs of the sea?"
Min Xing laughed and stopped talking.
Since Lan Yu could see it himself, there was no need for him to say anything more about this matter.
Although Xiao Yu was self-reliant, he did not raise the banner to be the emperor after all, so there were no six ministries and nine secretaries, and there was no cabinet and court. Locally, fortunately, after Xiao Yu's new policy, the structure of the three divisions was generally established, but as the central capital, the civil and bureaucratic system is very complicated. According to the official system at the beginning of the Great Zheng Dynasty, the prince's palace consists of the prince's palace, the prince's mansion and the military palace, with one person on the left and one on the right, all of whom are two products, and another military minister, who is above the literary minister, which can be described as a high authority. However, after cutting the domain, all the kings settled in the eastern capital, and they could not go out of the capital for a hundred miles unless there was a holy decree, and the kings were no longer the powerful people who guarded one side of the town, and the prince's mansion had no need to exist, so the king's mansion was withdrawn, and the long history division was promoted to the positive five products, and one person was placed on the left and right long history, and one person was in the book. After Xiao Yu became self-reliant, according to the Zheng system, the Wang Xiangfu was re-established, and the position of the Military Office was replaced by the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Lan Yu's official position was also changed from the previous nondescript military division Zhonglang to the left minister of the Wang Xiangfu, with a special title.
The two chatted for a while, returned to Wen Ti Zhai, at this time the dinner had been delivered, very simple but very clever, each person is four dishes, a vegetarian dish, a plate of steamed dumplings, a roast lamb leg, and a bowl of eight treasures duck soup, only Bonu and Xu Yan specially made grassland milk cakes and rock sugar bird's nest, which is considered to take care of the old and weak. Fortunately, most of them are martial artists, and they have lived in the bitter cold land of the northwest for a long time, and they don't pay much attention to whether they get tired of eating and not getting tired of being meticulous, so everyone quickly finished up dinner and prepared to completely end today's "small discussion" that is not small at all.
The soldiers and horses that had been roughly decided to march into Shuzhou had been roughly decided, but a huge dispute broke out over grain and grass, and in the final analysis, there were only two words, no money. Fortunately, the current northwest is dominated by military people, and there is no main peace faction, but there is only a dispute over the issue of food and salary, but no one opposes the dispatch of troops. And Xiao Yu's meaning is also very clear, it is precisely because the northwest has no money, and even the finances have reached the point of collapse, so they want to launch this war, not only to transfer internal contradictions to the outside world, but also to obtain a large amount of war wealth to save the precarious finances of the northwest.
Xiao Yu finally decided that everything would make way for the military, and when necessary, some necessary means could be taken to supplement military salaries and grain and grass. Everyone didn't say anything more, they were all people who had led the army for many years, and naturally knew how to use some "necessary" means when there was a shortage of food and salary.
"This matter is not allowed to happen, I hope that all the kings will be conscientious, as soon as possible with the green edge in their hands, for the king to plow the fertile land, this words and all the gentlemen to encourage. ”
At that time, Xiao Yu finally ended this long "small discussion", but remembering the secrecy system of the Dazheng cabinet that is comparable to a sieve, the cabinet meeting is usually held in the morning, and the results of the cabinet meeting are spread throughout most of the eastern capital in the afternoon, so in the end, Xiao Yu also emphasized the issue of secrecy, and ordered that if someone leaks secrets, it will be punished as the crime of collaborating with the enemy.
For Xiao Yu's warning, everyone still put it in their hearts, after all, Xiao Yu's skills since he took power have nothing to do with benevolence.
After everyone dispersed, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jin brothers walked side by side, all the way from Wen Ti Zhai to the front of the Yingfeng Pavilion, and then went all the way up the bluestone steps, crossed the second pavilion of Tingfeng and Linfeng halfway up the mountainside, and came to the Lingfeng Pavilion located on the top of the mountain. And from here, you can also overlook the central capital.
Xiao Yu held on to the railing, letting the cold night breeze blow his clothes and hair, and asked, "How about this foundation for my brother?"
Xiao Jin stood beside Xiao Yu and said with a smile: "Not bad, very good." ”
Xiao Yu smiled, and then said: "I should not have taken the table word until you were crowned, but you have already been out of office, and it is inconvenient to call your name directly, so how about I give you a table word for Xiao Lie?"
Xiao Jin glanced at him with a smile, "This little thing also has to be competed, you father and son...... That's it, whatever you want. ”
Regarding the faint ridicule in Xiao Jin's words, Xiao Yu didn't care, and said to himself: "Xiao Jin." Jin word, beautiful jade, Yu also beautiful jade, the so-called grip Jin Huaiyu, your table word is called Huaiyu, how about it?"
"Hold Jin Huaiyuxi, poor don't know what to show. Xiao Jin muttered to himself softly, and then laughed suddenly, "Okay, then call Xiao Huaiyu." ”
Jin, the gentleman is as virtuous as jade, and he holds Jin Huaiyu.
Yu, the two days stand side by side, and the light shines brightly.
This pair of brothers did exactly the opposite of their names.
