Chapter 772: The Storm in the Capital (9)
The second day of the opening of the temple is the court meeting, although the emperor left Beijing, but the court meeting can not be broken, after all, this court still has to operate, many things have to be dealt with, especially now that the army is outside, a lot of grain and grass supply and internal adjustment matters, all kinds of discussions are needed.
Three days later is the New Year, according to the original rules of the Great Jin, during the New Year, the minister has a full month of rest at home, before this is naturally necessary to arrange the general things properly, everyone can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, right?
At this time, on the top of the main hall, the former Jiuqing is not human, and the warlock family has almost completely withdrawn from the power circle of the capital, and now it can be described as the scene of the monopoly of the martial arts family, and even the military department is no longer held by civilian officials, but by Shen Mao, the prince of Yue Guo, who was born as a military general, took this position, which is rare in previous dynasties, and it can be seen that the emperor is iron-hearted and attaches great importance to martial arts and light literature.
Wei Gongxing was fortunate to participate in this conference, in fact, according to normal rules, a concubine of a subordinate family like him may never be qualified to enter the palace of this court, but now it is different, the first ghost under King Xiang will suddenly come, this identity makes Wei Gongxing's current identity even higher than some of the princes in the hall.
The appearance of such a figure made the situation in the entire court a little weird, according to the rank and status of the Yin Spirit, everyone should give Wei the bow salute, and even the position of the first place should be given to him.
But Wei Gongxing is also low-key, although he was given the position to sit in the first place, he basically didn't speak much throughout the whole process, which also made the ministers of civil and military affairs breathe a little sigh of relief.
And those children waiting outside the hall almost glared out of jealousy, just a few days ago, the Wei family's kid was still a miscellaneous soldier who led horses for most people, and now he can actually let the three princes and nine kings salute him and sit in the first position in the court, is there still heavenly reason?
That's not how shit luck goes, right?
But no matter how jealous and dissatisfied they are, they don't dare to do anything, the status of the top ghosts is not ordinary, if they dare to be disrespectful, they don't even wait for outsiders to do it, the martial soul in their body can swallow them alive.
At this time, the arrangements for the new generation of people were being discussed in the main hall.
Now that the capital is in urgent need of manpower, His Majesty has transferred most of the elites to the Northern Expeditionary Army for the victory of the Northern Expedition, and the forbidden army guarding the capital has been shortened to one-third, not to mention the city defense.
What is more difficult to arrange now is Wei Gongxing, as the existence of the top ghost general, it seems unreasonable not to give a position, but what to give is a problem, after all. A good position is now a turnip and a pit, who wants to give it up?
"Let's talk about the city defense arrangements first." The British Duke coughed lightly: "The number of forbidden troops is definitely going to increase, and among the new candidates this time, the number of our forbidden army must be replenished, and I hope to transfer another 5,000 people to the forbidden army team." ”
"Five thousand? You dare to speak." Yan Guogong next to him snorted coldly: "There are more than 6,000 people in total for the blessing of martial spirits this time, you have one mouth, nine adults are leaving, leave us to grab the soup and drink, right?" ”
"The forbidden army is the face of the imperial city, and the last reduction was a last resort, and now that there are new personnel, it should be based on this, what's the problem?"
"Of course there is a problem" Yan Guogong said coldly: "The Martial Temple is now in urgent need of manpower, according to the previously scheduled scale, the three major Martial Temples all need at least three thousand elites to take turns to defend, all of them are going to your forbidden army, is our Martial Temple divided into a few hundred people?" ”
"What security problems can Wumiao have, and in today's situation, who dares to offend Wumiao without a long eye?"
"Maybe if something happens, will you be responsible?"
"You"
"Alright." Shen Mao, the secretary of the military department, looked like he had a headache, when His Majesty was there, these two guys liked to fight, and now it is still like this, now there is a shortage of people, and they both want to control more people, he also understands this, but the juniors are still outside, and the two princes are openly robbing people inside, what is it like?
"This time, the newcomers are not divided between the martial temple and the forbidden army!"
As soon as these words came out, the two princes were stunned, and the other marquis were also stunned, and looked at them in amazement.
Yue Guogong, the old guy's military department, has no right to be in charge of the army, so is it possible to rob people?
"What do you mean?" The grumpy British Duke said angrily: "If you don't belong to the two of us, will it belong to the Ministry of War?" ”
"What do you want so many people to do?" The other party rolled his eyes and said directly: "A few years ago, the Northern Expedition army, because of the lack of people, His Majesty not only transferred two-thirds of the forbidden army, but also even the city defense, and now the night patrol of the capital has to rely on the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to work part-time, what does it look like?" ”
"My suggestion is to re-establish the fortifications of the city, for the time being." As he spoke, he looked at Wei Gongyu: "How about it being managed by Lord Makino?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two princes who were originally fighting for red ears suddenly stopped talking.
Originally, they were all determined to win this batch of newcomers, but if everyone was in the hands of Makino, the new boss, none of them would dare to rob them.
And I'm happy to make it happen.
Lord Makino has a very high status, but Wei Gongyu has no foundation, and it is not appropriate to give a big position rashly, not to mention that there is no important position, as a newcomer, the city defense is definitely under his control, and the city defense was under the control of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past.
In terms of status, it is valuable enough, and it also has a certain amount of military power, so it is not a shame to say.
The key is that although the responsibility of city defense is heavy, it does not affect the interests of others, and if the other party agrees to such an arrangement, today's embarrassment can be resolved.
Everyone immediately looked at Wei Gongyu.
At this time, Wei Gongyu's heart froze, he didn't expect that Nei Ying would actually be the Duke of Yueguo!
It's really leaky
Yue Guogong's position seems to be important but does not involve military power, and he will not be feared by others, and he came forward to say that it is the most suitable to assign this newborn ghost people a place to go
I really didn't expect that the people who planned behind the scenes were not simple.
"Hey boy, guessed wrong, right?"
"The seniors have calculated the abyss, it's the boy I'm arrogant." Wei Gongyu was embarrassed in his heart.
"Hahahaha." The other party suddenly smiled: "It's very good, if you can guess that step, it is impossible for you to guess everything, right?" ”
"Shame on the boy."
Makino smiled, and directly made a sound, and a dull voice came from Wei Gongyu's body: "Then let's do it, let this little ghost practice his hands, you just breathe a sigh of relief, right?" ”
"Your Excellency is serious" Everyone hurriedly saluted, for fear that the other party would not be satisfied with this arrangement.
"Alright, alright." Makino waved his hand: "You are too careful for the old man to pay attention to it, the old man didn't come out early this time to worry about these things with you, so be it, let him practice his hands first, when His Royal Highness King Xiang comes back, the old man will go to the front line, you prepare in advance what kind of replacement for the city defense." ”
"It's an adult"
Looking at the other party's method of winning the military power with such an understatement, Wei Gongyu became more and more vigilant in his heart, but he was also puzzled.
These newcomers did not choose to infiltrate the forbidden army and the martial temple, but became the people of the city defense alone, so although the control should be in hand, but when it comes to it, isn't it inconvenient?
According to his idea, taking the opportunity to assign people to the Martial Temple and secretly controlling the Martial Temple is the best chance, right?
City defense? Could it be that he used night patrols to attack those ghost temples?
No matter how you think about it, you can't win
This in the end. How is it calculated?
