Chapter 140: General Wang Tong
As a result, after the three counterinsurgency generals sent by the Jian'an Imperial Court arrived in Yizhou, the city head of Yizhou immediately erected a counter-flag.
This time, the people of Yizhou are no longer in the same state as before, the bloody tragedy at the gate of the city has ignited their anger, and it has also made them understand that the court of Jian'an did not take them seriously at all - on the contrary, it was the legendary thief who killed those thieves at this critical juncture and kept the peace of the city.
So, do you still need to think about which side to choose?
"Hero!"
People surrounded Du Chengfeng, lifted his stout body in the air, praised him all the way, and sent him back to the Governor's Palaceβand then some wise people gave down the banners that symbolized Da Chen on the city's head.
However, they hadn't figured out what the new flag would be hung yet, so they casually hung some cloth sheets and curtains, which looked colorful, and those who didn't know thought it was a disguise from the shop selling the cloth.
Anyway, as long as you don't hang the flag of Da Chen, the people of Yizhou are expressing their dissatisfaction in this way.
"So what the hell is going on!"
Far away in the court hall of the Jian'an capital, the prime minister who was in front of the hundred officials was yelling angrily.
"Then why is Yizhou really reversed! What the hell are you generals doing? β
"Your Excellency! What are you talking about! β
The generals led by the general Wang Tong were dumbfounded, God knows how this black cauldron flew to them.
What are you kidding, it is because this prime minister said that Yizhou was reversed, and there were even two masters who were angry and outward, and they sent the masters of the army out to quell the rebellion, and now the three fourth-grade soldiers are about to die in Yizhou, and they haven't asked the prime minister for an explanation, and this prime minister actually threw the responsibility on their heads first?
It's just nonsense! Is this Yizhou still forced by them?
"Or else?"
The prime minister did not give the generals a chance to play, and continued to approach.
"Cai Yi, the general of Sipin Fenwei, has had the experience of attacking the people on the way to counterinsurgency before, and he has been impeached on the Yushi platform for many times, but he was saved by your General Wang, saying that it was to give the young man another chance...... What now? This is the young man who knows his mistakes and can change them! β
With that, the prime minister raised his hand and threw over a document sent from Shannan Province.
Then, he arched his hand to the young man in the gown.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the general has done too much this time."
ββ¦β¦β
Above the high position, the young emperor was just silent, and his eyes seemed to be a little confused.
The hall was so large that the young emperor seemed so small even when he sat on the throne.
"I think it's ......"
"Your Majesty, counterinsurgency is important."
The prime minister arched his hand again.
"It's better to give the general a chance to make meritorious contributions."
"Ah...... Oh! What the prime minister said is true! β
The young emperor, who had come to his senses, nodded again and again.
"Exactly! Just according to the Prime Minister's words! β
So, in the three or two sentences of several people, Nan Chen's direction was determined.
The general Wang Tong was responsible for organizing the manpower and leading the troops to quell the rebellion.
The civil officials are very satisfied with this, with a big general coming out, the rebellion must be lifted, and most of the military attaches can still accept it, after all, the Fenwei general Cai Yi has indeed caused chaos, and it is a good thing that there can be a solution now.
Only a few generals, as well as the general Wang Tong himself, were still frowning until the court meeting dispersed.
"That Prime Minister Jia Wen is really too deceitful!"
After returning to the general's mansion, the generals who followed Wang Tong scolded directly.
"When Cai Yi was saved, he obviously agreed! What else do you say that it is not easy to make a 10,000-strong enemy this year, so it is better to stay and deal with the steppe people...... Come to this now? β
"Okay, that's the prime minister after all."
Taking a deep breath, the general Wang Tong still didn't have a seizure after all.
No matter how angry he was, Wang Tong still maintained considerable restraint, after all, the prime minister Jia Wen is now powerful, and the emperor of the dynasty trusts him even more, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he obeys his words - if at this time, he tears his face with the prime minister, even if he is a general, he will only get into trouble.
What's more, the steppe people have already gone south.
This is what he needs to face as a general, God knows why the grassland people suddenly want to go south, but it is also this time when Da Chen needs to unite as one, but Yizhou suddenly reversed, and this Prime Minister Jia Wen also ......
"General, be careful of Najavin."
A military general who came with Wang Tong came over.
"This prime minister is now in power, and no one can control him, if he has any ideas......"
"That's not going to happen."
Wang Tong shook his head decisively.
In the final analysis, this world is still respected by force. Even if the prime minister is in favor of the government and the opposition, as long as he Wang Tong still has the courage to do so, then no matter how aggressive the prime minister is, after all, he can be killed.
On the contrary, as a general, if he goes toe-to-toe with the prime minister, this is what is really easy to be taboo.
With a strong body of strength, and no one can say anything to him, even if the young emperor does not suspect him, his subordinates will inevitably feel that the weather is cold, and it is time to add clothes to him.
After all, this Da Chen, after all, still established the country by force.
Back then, that Da Chen Taizu made a good start, as long as he could kill all the enemies with absolute force, then no one could question the legitimacy of the royal family - fortunately, that Da Chen Taizu himself could not be regarded as a person, so in the face of the giant who was close to two zhang high, and even higher and higher, like a god descending into the world, people could only pinch their noses and admit it.
But the descendants of Da Chen Taizu......
It's hard to put into words.
Obviously, that Da Chen Taizu has a physique comparable to that of a god, but his descendants are all ordinary people, although there have been one or two brave warriors, but they can only be regarded as ordinary people, that is, everyone has become accustomed to the benefits of peaceful days, so no one is willing to rebel, otherwise there will be a few braver than the royal family......
It's not just in case, Wang Tong himself is the brave man.
At the age of twenty, the evil qi entered the body, and at the age of twenty-five, the evil qi was released, and now, Wang Tong is more than fifty years old, and his physical strength has not declined, coupled with the experience and technology accumulated over the past decades, it is the peak of being a military general.
But Wang Tong didn't think about anything to replace him.
This is also why he can become a general, and his firm will to serve the country supports his bravery, no matter who will oppose it, he will not be able to oppose it.
It's just that loyalty is not enough to know it, and you still have to show it occasionally to avoid some unwarranted suspicions.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor of Da Chen is still a little too young after all.
Of course, if it's just young, it's actually okay, after all, Wang Tong himself has been young, but the most important thing is that the strength of His Majesty the Emperor is really ......
Growing up in the deep palace, it is difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to strengthen his will through the cultivation of evil spirits, but the problem is that His Majesty the Emperor is not a good student for reading, even if he is a great general, he has collected a lot of divine weapons and treasures for His Majesty, and even thaumaturgical magic recipes, but His Majesty's combat power can only be regarded as comparable to ordinary people.
Especially when entering the huge palace set up for Emperor Taizu, after sitting on the throne set up for the huge body of two zhang high, this contrast is obvious to the extreme.
If the strength is not enough, it is inevitable that people will not be confident, and after losing self-confidence, people will also become suspicious.
Wang Tong didn't want his loyalty to serve the country to be doubted, at least not now, after all, he still had to face those grassland people, and even the mad king of the grassland people.
I heard that the steppe khan took pleasure in war, but he was a crazy person, but he was such a madman, but he was the easiest to grasp power.
"The world is crazy ......"
Thinking of this, Wang Tong couldn't help but feel stunned.
But immediately, he was determined.
Even in this crazy world, there are always people who have to do something sane.
"So, why is the treasury empty?"
Three days later, the general Wang Tong angrily approached the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"What about the money and food that the court has accumulated? What about the northern salary that was levied before? Where is it? Why is there nothing in it? β
"Calm down, General."
Prime Minister Javin just sighed.
"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, this Da Chen is everywhere at the moment where money and food are needed, in the simplest terms, is it necessary to stop the construction of the imperial tomb because of this northern expedition?"
"This ......"
Hearing that Jia Wen actually carried the imperial tomb out, Wang Tong suddenly became dumbfounded.
It was the mausoleum of the Da Chen royal family, and the former Da Chen Taizu was buried inside, if he dared to have an opinion on this matter, it would be disloyal.
"What's more, our Majesty will also build a new garden for practicing magic......"
Arching his hand in the direction of the palace, Javin sighed again.
"In short, there is not much money and food. If the general really needs it, then I will raise it again. β
"You'd better hurry."
At this moment, although Wang Tong's face was silent, his heart was already filled with murderous intent.
No matter what reason this Prime Minister Jia Wen uses to prevaricate, it is already a fact that there is no food and salary for the soldiers at present, that is, he still needs this Jia Wen to raise money and food for the time being, and when this money and food are in place, after the return of the Northern Expedition, it is the time for him to behead this faint official!
It doesn't matter if the emperor is suspicious of this, this Jia Wen has already done it. It's a big deal that after beheading this Jia Wen, he will return to his hometown and never ask about the world again.
But what Wang Tong didn't expect was that even in the financing of money and food, there would be a problem.
