41 Crisis in the Army
Shen Sanwen was asking in a low voice, but was interrupted by Wu Zetian.
"Zhang Aiqing is reasonable, but at present, the treasury has limited financial resources, and the matter of education is in the ascendant, and it is also a time to spend money, which is very difficult to do now, and it may take more time to consider."
If there is no solution for the time being, it will be delayed, which is a panacea.
Wu Zetian naturally wouldn't be stumped by such a trivial matter, she still had the intention of probing, did she show that this was self-respecting and courageous?
If he is interested, he should stop and discuss it later, even if it is shelved, he can't say anything.
Zhang Yang did not kneel down directly in the court as she expected, "Your Majesty, if this matter is not resolved, the minister is worried that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.
Now that the imperial court can support free education, the national strength is abundant, and the soldiers are inevitably uncomfortable. β
"Bold." Wu Zetian angrily reprimanded, "Why do you represent the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how much the military salary is, it is the grace of the imperial court, what is the intention of soliciting merit without authorization and soliciting people's hearts?" β
Zhang Yang always had an ice cube face, "The minister has no such intentions, I believe that Your Majesty will be able to make a fair ruling." β
Shen San didn't know what Zhang Yang was doing, even if he had to pay a salary increase, he had to pay attention to the way, and if he mentioned this matter with this attitude in the early dynasty, it would be strange that the emperor could agree to him.
However, he couldn't watch the two stalemate, "Your Majesty is angry, General Zhang and the border soldiers live and die together, and they have a deep affection for seeing their hardships in life, so I have this request, I also want to share the worries for Your Majesty, unite the hearts of the border soldiers, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." β
Zhang Yang heard Shen San say this, but he still didn't get off the donkey, "The minister thinks that the horse master is resourceful, and there may be a way to fill the treasury, so it is better to leave this matter to Shen Ma to be responsible." β
Shen San was shocked again, why did this lead to burn himself and provoke him.
What's wrong with this Zhang Yang today.
Wu Zetian sneered, "I have long had this intention, the border is bitter cold, and the soldiers have been fighting for the Great Zhou for many years, so I ordered Shen Sanwen to supervise this matter, and there will be a reward for doing it well, and a heavy penalty will be imposed if it is not done well." β
Shen San's heart was congested when he heard this.
Sure enough, the peacemaker can't do it casually, Wu Zetian clearly suspects him of calculating with Zhang Yang.
But he really didn't.
After the early dynasty, Wu Zetian did not summon him to ask Zhang Yang for details, it seemed that he was angry.
Shen San asked anxiously staring at Zhang Yang, "Is something happening to the Turks?" How could you do this all of a sudden. "And dragged me into the water.
"Nothing." The heaviness on Zhang Yang's face never changed.
It seems that last night's laughter was also forcibly faked.
"Then I won't care about this matter, and I'll be done when I can't do it well with Your Majesty next year." Shen San asked and threatened him to get up.
"Go back and say, it's not convenient here." Zhang Yang lowered his voice.
The two hurried into the house.
"Is it the Turks, the Khitans, or something is wrong?" Shen Sanwen had already begun to guess in his heart.
The Khitan is a tenacious people who have never succumbed and may resurge at any time.
Although Turkic autonomy has been going on for a while, no one can guarantee how effective it will be, and there should still be some influence and hidden power of the old aristocracy.
"This time I am looking for a reason to stay in the capital, if Your Majesty doubts me, he will not let me go back to the army." Zhang Yang responded.
"Didn't you say that the army is your dream, why don't you go? Do they want the yellow robe to support you as the emperor? Shen Sanwen opened his mind.
"Neither, but there are indeed some strange phenomena within the army, I want to leave for a while and observe the changes, my influence in the army, as long as the other party has actions, it should be able to be solved." Zhang Yang replied cautiously.
Speaking of this, Shen San asked and understood.
There are people who have planted personnel in the army, and Zhang Yang will not be able to find those people for a while, so he will simply run away and give them the stage, and by the way, he will also clear out the reactionary forces in the army.
"It's not good that you will be suspected by His Majesty of excluding dissidents." Shen Sanwen thought about Wu Zetian's reaction today, and the angry look on his face had not been seen for a long time.
"Your Majesty has rarely used a knife in the past few years, even if he doubts my heart, I stay in the capital well, she will not do it. If there was really a rebellion, he would have led the troops to do it a long time ago, where would he come to the capital to toss. Zhang Yang analyzed.
Therefore, it is safest for him to do this.
Shen San asked him to feel troublesome when he said this.
Wu Zetian must be thinking that it is important to maintain the stability of one side, and there is also the Turkic land next to it, waiting to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but Zhang Yang is worried that he will have changes in the army.
Now that he is no longer alone, he has become more life-conscious.
"If you leave like this, will there be anything on the Turkic side, and the barbarians will no longer be there, will there be a reaction over there?" Shen San asked.
"The Turkic side is more stable than the Tang Dynasty, and recently I always feel that someone is watching me and I still have a small question, and the implementation of military orders is also blocked, and the army can't stay. Those are not Turkic people, they don't care about Turkic policies, they don't care about the barbarians, maybe they are coming for you. Zhang Yang gave an in-depth analysis.
The army is not like other places, even if they can kill Zhang Yang, they will be replaced by a new commander appointed by the emperor, unlike the imperial palace, a coup d'Γ©tat can really change the owner.
Shen Sanwen and Zhang Yang discussed all kinds of relationships in the barracks, no matter how they looked, it looked like they had been invaded by spies, and there were many traitors.
It's also good to avoid it, safety first.
In the palace, Wu Zetian's anger also disappeared.
She hadn't been bumped into for many years, and she was suddenly bumped into by Zhang Yang in the early dynasty, she not only lost face, but also lost the good mood that she had just done something big.
However, Wu Zetian was able to become a generation of empresses, relying on one point - the wisdom of using people to recognize people.
Even if Zhang Yang really has an antipathy, it will not be now, he is the only general who has not experienced power reduction and demotion.
Thought he had never lost a battle.
His career is smooth sailing, and he has no children, and Shen Sanwen has a common man who is difficult for the emperor to do.
I don't want to be the emperor, but I want to confront her in public.
This is to use her as a gunman and want to stay in the capital.
Wu Zetian quickly analyzed Zhang Yang's motives, and as for whether to stay, he can't make a decision yet.
The army in the north under the command of Zhang Yang is not a small number, and the slightest turmoil is a major event in the Great Zhou, and the commander must not go back for a long time to take care of things, and it will be very troublesome for the army to mutiny.
But if he is really let go back, there will be no trouble inside the army in the north, and it will be even more troublesome if something happens outside.
Wu Zetian carefully checked the movements of the aliens in the surrounding towns, and repeatedly confirmed that there was indeed no special place.
