Chapter 437: The New Emperor (2)
Others dare not be angry, General Wu, who has fought with Li Xiao and has been injured for several days, is a reckless man in the army, and he can't bear the sulking at all, so he immediately snorted coldly: "General Li is standing and talking without backache!" The Jiaodong Army is an elite soldier brought out by your brother Li Ji, and you relied on Li Ji to pick up a ready-made bargain. Now he is promoted to Beijing again, of course, he will let go."
"I have been in the Youzhou Army for twenty years, and there are 8,000 soldiers in the barracks, and I can name them above the small flag. I led them into battle, and my heart was steady."
"I didn't do anything wrong, why did you transfer me to the Jizhou Army? The Jizhou army has long been crippled, and when the army was reorganized, it was only 5,000 old and weak soldiers, how can it be compared with my elite soldiers."
"I'm a reckless man, and I can't tell you the truth. Anyway, the emperor asked me to go to Jizhou with a word, and I was not convinced!"
General Wu's dissatisfaction in his heart is also genuine. He has been in the Youzhou Army for twenty years, why kick him out now?
Li Xiao knew that he must suppress General Wu's momentum, and immediately took over: "General Wu is dissatisfied with the Jizhou Army, then you and I will change it, you come to the Tiger Battalion, and I will go to the Jizhou Army!"
General Wu: "......"
He is reckless, and he is not stupid!
The Tiger Battalion is the territory of the new emperor. Li Xiao is an old friend and brother-in-law of the new emperor, so he was selected by the new emperor to take charge of the Tiger Battalion. Which onion and garlic is he, how can he get into the eyes of the new emperor?
However, if you are noisy and shouting to this point, you can't just retreat and admit it.
General Wu stiffened his neck: "I'm not the emperor's brother-in-law, so I don't deserve to go to the Tiger Battalion!"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of the ministers' mouths twitched.
This General Wu really dares to say anything! Didn't you see the new emperor on the dragon chair with an unhappy face and a sensible look? Being so "remembered" by the emperor, what future do you have in the future?
Li Xiao didn't see the slightest bit of shame, straightened his waist and said, "General Wu's words are not appropriate. It is common for the court to marry and marry, according to what you say, Zhou Shangshu is the emperor's in-law, Zhao Shilang is the cousin of Queen Zhao, and several princes of the vassal are still the emperor's cousins! Shouldn't they all avoid suspicion and quit the court in the future?"
Zhou Shangshu, Zhao Shilang and others looked at him unkindly.
The prince of Xihe snorted heavily, glanced at General Wu, and said extremely meanly: "You brainless reckless man, you really don't deserve to go to the Tiger Camp!"
General Wu's eyes were red with humiliation.
The prince of Xihe was not afraid of him, and sneered, "What? Is this son wrong? This is the Jinluan Palace, which is the Great Dynasty Meeting. The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the important ministers of the court were respectful. You are a military general from Youzhou, you dare to roar loudly. The emperor has ordered you to be beheaded now, and you deserve it!"
General Wu: "......"
General Wu's arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "The last general was excited for a while, and his voice was a little higher. Please forgive the emperor!"
Xu Jing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was actually not angry.
With such a big transfer, it is common sense that the generals have some "movement". Everything in the court today was expected by him. The prince of Dingguo looked forward to Li Xiao and the three of them, and they were all angry with him in advance.
The only thing that surprised Xu Jing was the brazen blow of the prince of Xihe.
I have to say that as long as the prince of Xihe is not himself, it is still quite pleasant to watch him scold. It's a pity that he is now the emperor, and he can't roll up his sleeves in person, so he has a lot less happiness.
Xu Jing felt sorry in his heart, and deliberately waited for a moment before he said lightly: "General Wu is not convinced, I know it."
"The garrisons of the thirteen states, the Jiaodong Army and the Youzhou Army are the two most elite armies. I transferred Li Xiao to the Tiger Battalion, which is indeed a bit selfish. However, I let General Wu go to the Jizhou Army, not because General Wu did something wrong. On the contrary, I want to borrow General Wu's skills to train the Jizhou army into elite soldiers."
"General Wu can't give up the subordinates of the Youzhou Army, so he can bring more cronies to the Jizhou Army. In the future, there will be a shortage of food and horses, so I can only play and talk to me."
In any case, when the Son of Heaven talks about this, there is no room for General Wu to refuse.
General Wu was reckless, and he also knew that this matter could not be changed, so he had to pinch it
The nose recognized: "What the emperor said, the last general will keep it in mind. The last general will definitely do his best in the future to train the Jizhou army into elite soldiers." net
Xu Jing praised General Wu's loyalty and benevolence with satisfaction, and then looked at the military general who was originally in charge of the Jizhou Army: "I have also considered letting General Qian go to Merge Prefecture. Jizhou has always been not peaceful, often suppressing bandits, General Qian has fought so many battles, and he should change to a slightly more peaceful place. Is General Qian any dissatisfied?"
The Jizhou Army was disabled last year and can be said to be the weakest garrison. General Qian was able to jump out of this sea of suffering and go to the Taiping realm of Bingzhou to take charge of the army, where did he have the face to say that he was dissatisfied, and he replied again and again: "The last general is willing to go to Bingzhou."
Xu Jing nodded, and looked at the other one: "General Yang went to Yuzhou, what is the dissatisfaction? If I really don't want to go and want to resign and return to my hometown, I can't force me to stay."
General Yang shook his head and replied categorically, "The last general is willing to go to Yuzhou."
What is the resignation?
How can you resign?
He has survived for more than ten years, and finally became a four-grade military general, able to take charge of tens of thousands of garrisons. How can you give up your official position to others?
Xu Jing was very considerate: "Is General Yang really willing? Don't force it. If General Yang resigns, I will choose one of General Yang's lieutenants to be a general."
With so many generals in the barracks, isn't it easy to pick one of them?
General Yang straightened his chest and said in a loud voice: "The last general is in his prime, and he must be loyal to the dynasty and the emperor. How can you covet comfort and return home early? The last general is willing to go to Yuzhou!"
Xu Jing expressed his satisfaction and praised General Yang. Next, I asked them one by one.
The generals who were impassioned before said that they could still lead the troops to fight and contribute to the court, and implored the emperor to send them to the most difficult places.
Only General Niu of the Cangzhou Army is really old, and he is already fifty-five in his sixties. General Niu opened his mouth to resign and return to his hometown, Xu Jing was very happy and allowed General Niu to choose a son to take over his official position.
General Niu was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
The generals have stopped, and the transfer of the civil servants is not worth mentioning. This great court meeting ended with the complete victory of the new emperor.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xu Jing left behind the prince of Xihe.
"Cousin, today in the court, I would like to thank you for your help." Xu Jing opened his mouth to thank him.
The prince of Xihe was a little awkward: "You are the king, I am the minister. As a courtier, it is right to share the sorrows of the monarch."
The arrogant prince of Xihe Wang, it is not easy to bow his head.
Xu Jing grinned.
The prince of Xihe glanced at Xu Jing and said in a low voice, "My father will leave for his back in two days."
