Chapter 739: Zeng Gongliang leads the troops
Finally someone was willing to stand up, at this moment Zhao Zhen was a little moved in his heart, and he asked without thinking about it, "Who does Aiqing recommend, come here."
"The minister recommended Zeng Gongliang, the deputy privy envoy, who had been trained in Xijing, had experienced military formations, and was born in Jiangnan, and had a good relationship with many families in the south. If this person goes, he will be able to unite more people and complete the important task of pacifying the southern border."
"Oh, where is Ming Zhong (Zeng Gongliang's word)?" Zhao Zhen, who had already had some six gods and no masters, was overjoyed when he heard his words.
At this time, he is like a person who is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, as long as someone makes a move, he will try, as for whether the candidate is really suitable, it is not something that should be considered now. Look at the book
Zeng Gongliang was also lowering his head just now, and when he was called by the emperor, he slowly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here."
"Ming Zhong, would you like to go to the southern border to level the bandits?"
"Minister... Yes." Zeng Gongliang seemed to be a little embarrassed and agreed. "But the minister has one more request."
"Speak." Zhao Zhen said without hesitation.
"The minister went to the south, he had to deal with many people, and he also needed to understand Li Tang's reality and reality, and it was difficult to do it by relying on the minister alone. I hope that Your Majesty will send someone who understands the situation of Li Tang in the Southland, and at the same time can represent Your Majesty to a certain extent, so that with this person, the minister can better persuade the other gentry in the South to help the minister."
"This... Is there a suitable candidate for Ming Zhong?" Zhao Zhen didn't agree immediately, it's not that he didn't agree, but he didn't know who such a person was.
"Your Majesty, the minister is bold, and I want to ask Lieutenant Chen to come along." Zeng Gongliang, who was asked, seemed to have been prepared, and pointed out Chen Lin's name as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Yes."
Hearing that he wanted to ask Chen Lin for help, Zhao Zhen agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Lin is his own person, and with him in the south, he can also play a role in monitoring Zeng Gongliang, so why not.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the requirements were achieved, Zeng Gongliang put on a deserving appearance.
"Okay, I decreed that Zengqing would be the general of Pingnan, and he would personally lead 30,000 forbidden troops to the south, and at the same time have the responsibility of controlling all the military power in the south, give Shang Fang the sword, and the right to cut first and then play in case of trouble." Zhao Zhen's voice came out of the hall and entered everyone's ears.
"Your Ministers obey." Seeing that they didn't have to go into danger, the courtiers raised their heads again one by one, looking like they were holding the pearl again.
It's nice to stay in Kyoto without having to risk your enemies. Once Zeng Gongliang does not perform well, they can give impeachment to prove their presence.
On the contrary, if Zeng Gongliang behaves too well, they will also find various reasons for impeachment, because they know that this must be what the emperor wants to see.
Anyway, no matter what the result is, he is still an important minister, enjoying privileges and various benefits.
At this time, Zeng Gongliang, who was erected as the center by everyone, couldn't see anything on his face. It's as if the will has nothing to do with you.
Because no one knew that all this was discussed in advance by Zeng Gongliang and Zhao Yunrang.
Zeng Gongliang is the same age as Bao Zheng this year, both of them are one in fifty.
When Bao Zheng was only a fourth-grade before, Zeng Gongliang was the privy deputy envoy.
Now Bao Zheng is already a privy envoy, but he is still a deputy envoy, how can this make people feel fair.
If you don't work hard, I'm afraid that Zeng Gongliang will have to retire in the position of deputy envoy. Unwillingly, he has been looking for opportunities.
But looking at these big players in the DPRK and China, one radish and one pit, how difficult is it to take another step before no one vacates their position? Not to mention, even if there is a position, if there is no help from a nobleman, it will not be able to be superior.
is like Bao Zheng in history, I don't know how many official positions he has changed in his life, and he has also created a great reputation, but in the end, he has no reason to be in the position of a second-class minister, isn't it because he is too upright and has not gone to anyone, so he has not been promoted?
In this life, with Su Shi's help regardless of returns, this is the current position of the second-grade privy envoy. But Zeng Gong
Isn't there another Su Shi behind Liang?
has been looking for an opportunity, and at this time Zhao Yunrang took the initiative to come up.
There is no free lunch in the world, and Zhao Yunrang saw Zeng Gongliang's eagerness to make progress, which made him want to win over.
The two can be said to have the same smell and hit it off. Before the court meeting, the two had a conspiracy, that is, Zeng Gongliang defected to Zhao Yunrang, and Zhao Yunrang helped him achieve his merits, and finally became a privy envoy.
As one of the costs, Zeng Gongliang wanted to get Chen Lin out of Kyoto and help Zhao Yunrang achieve great things.
Chen Lin, as the leader of the secret spy department, as Zhao Zhen's die-hard element, and as the intelligence leader who supervises the world, he was in Bianliang City for a day, and Zhao Yunrang did not dare to act rashly for a moment.
If you want to achieve your own big things, Chen Lin must be removed.
It's just that as the leader of the secret spy department, how can he kill if he says he can kill him? If it was really that easy, Chen Lin would have died for a long time.
originally thought that Su Shi's departure would affect Chen Lin's status in Zhao Zhen's mind to some extent. After all, what is the relationship between Ye Lengchan and Su Shi, it is already known to the world now, and Chen Lin did not execute Ye Lengchan after he caught him, but kept him eating and drinking well, it is impossible to say that he and Su Shi have no deal in private.
To Zhao Yunrang's disappointment, after Zhao Zhen knew about this matter, he just scolded Chen Lin and punished the other party for half a year.
It can be seen that Zhao Zhen trusts Chen Lin, and it is really difficult to bring him down through normal means. Even so, Zhao Yunrang had to think of other ways, such as transferring this person out of Kyoto.
Only outside can there be a chance to kill Chen Lin.
Kill Chen Lin, Zhao Yunrang has already thought of a way, Zhao Yunrang, who has already had a secret connection with Li Tang, as long as he provides Chen Lin's location, I believe that Li Tang will do it, after all, Chen Lin's existence is also a huge threat to Li Tang.
As for saying that Chen Lin is dead, how much of a loss it is for the entire Zhao Song, Zhao Yunrang will not think about it.
He only needs to know that Chen Lin's existence will affect his son's ascendancy.
As soon as Chen Lin dies, Zhao Yunrang will push Dongzhong to the throne, a person who has long been in contact with him and has made deals. At that time, the secret spy division will be used by Zhao Yunrang, and at that time, it will be one step closer to him reaching his life goal.
That's what happened in the court.
None of the courtiers had any doubts about this.
No matter how strong Li Tang is, he is just a remnant of the previous dynasty. Sending a deputy privy envoy over is a great face.
After Zhao Zhen went down to court, he dragged the sick body and called Chen Lin.
"This time, we must cooperate with Zeng Gongliang's attack, and if possible, cut Li Tang to the roots. In addition, this Zeng Gongliang has a good relationship with many scholars in Jiangnan, and you have to supervise him when you go, in case you are big, understand?"
Zhao Zhen can become the emperor, and his mind is naturally not too simple, and he must also guard against people, which has always been one of the means used by emperors.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave will not live up to her mission." After Chen Lin nodded in agreement, when he looked up at Zhao Zhen, he said with a concerned face, "Your Majesty, you should also pay attention to the dragon body."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the country is stable, my body will naturally return to its original state." Zhao Zhen, who was talking, coughed lightly, obviously his body was not as healthy as he said.
As the emperor's retainer, Chen Lin can only be concerned about it like this, it is a matter of the dragon body, it is a matter of national fortune, and whoever dares to speak is a capital crime.
Five days later, the third secretary made Song Qi prepare two months of grain and grass for the 30,000 forbidden army, and Zeng Gongliang led the army to set off, and at this time there were only five days left before the New Year.
......
Xianzhou City.
The New Year is approaching, and the whole city is lit up.
The people are well fed and clothed, which is something that they can't think of in the past. At this moment, they were proud and happy to have a leader like the Dragon Heavenly King.
At this time last year, Su Shi still brought
Everyone was rushing to Goryeo, and a year passed in a blink of an eye, Su Shi successfully gained a firm foothold, not to mention, and also owned the land of six cities.
Moreover, Su Shi's influence on the land of the Six Cities is a little stronger than the influence of any Goryeo king here.
The people of the land of the six cities will not allow others to say that Su Shi is not good.
If someone dares to talk like this, even if it is half a sentence, someone will immediately reprimand, and then they will be inspected and exposed, and the nearby peasant soldiers will come to the door and tell you why the flowers are so red.
The people below defended Su Shi so much, and they also did many ridiculous things, and even some overkill.
When the Long Yin Organization reported some of the things that happened to Su Shi, he had no intention of stopping them. Without it, this is Goryeo, and the people here have not yet completely transformed into Han people, and it is nothing to be harsh on them.
On the contrary, the people support themselves so much, the rear is stable, and when Su Shi sends troops to expand the territory again, he can be more assured of the safety of his family.
With the complete annexation of the people of Liucheng, and from time to time the Goryeo people from other regions fled to Liucheng, and the number of people under Su Shi's rule increased, reaching about 800,000.
This is also due to the fact that the population of Goryeo is mainly concentrated in the more affluent areas of Nandi. There are only less than one million people in the north, and the belief points of Sushi will increase by more than 700,000 every day, and at this rate, even if a large amount of cement and other materials are exchanged, the belief value in the Sushi system still reached 50 million years ago. Then some interfaces also opened one after another.
For example, gas masks, goggles, bulletproof knee pads, bulletproof elbow pads, rappelling seat belts, individual intercom headsets, and so on.
In particular, the hovercraft interface is also enabled when the value reaches 50 million faith points.
