The waves in Huzhou Mansion were rising, but it did not attract much attention from the court, except for some people with vital interests in Zhejiang and other places, and then there were also those who chatted and discussed.

In addition, the mansion of King Xin is closed to thank guests, a picture of idlers do not disturb, far away from the temple, in the southeast Shilin, there is no way except sighing.

And most people's eyes have been attracted by the newly established "Special Military Division".

'Special Military Division'

Judging from its name, it is a temporary ad hoc institution, independent of the cabinet, independent of the six ministries, and has nothing to do with the celebrant and supervisor, headed by Wang Qi, whose members are at the lowest level of most of the servants, which can be described as authoritative and powerful, even more than the cabinet, and is only responsible to the emperor alone.

From this point of view, Wang Qi faintly has signs of being under one person.

Liaodong, Guangning City.

Since Wang Qi left Liaodong to go to the capital, the war in the entire Liaodong has gradually stopped, and Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Jinglu, is not willing to take too many risks, and chooses Taoguang to raise obscurity, appease the displaced people, Conghua Tianmu, and at the same time recruit new soldiers and train veterans, in order to carry out a devastating blow to the remnants of the Houjin in the future.

"Judging from its name, it is a temporary ad hoc institution, which should be set up specifically for the war in Liaodong, and the war of the imperial court against Liaodong seems to have been put on the agenda," Yuan Chonghuan came to meet Xiong Tingbi today, just to discuss the arrangement of the imperial court: "In the future, all matters in Liaodong must be reported to the military department before we can send troops to make arrangements."

After more than a month, Xiong Tingbi has become more and more thin, the robes that originally fit have become wider, a pair of eyes are becoming deeper and deeper, and a string of ink-colored beads is constantly rubbing in his hand: "Headed by Lang Guogong, Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Lu Yu are members, the military department includes the ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, as well as the first assistant who is in charge of the government, and there is also a Langguo Gong who is known for knowing soldiers. Your Majesty seems to have high hopes for our gold cutting this time! ”

"There is Lang Guogong in the court, and there is Lord Jinglu in Liaodong under your command, then this time the plough court sweeps the holes and crushes the remnants of Houjin, when the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, it is as easy as a hand," Yuan Chonghuan gently put down the teacup and congratulated him: "The lower officials are here to congratulate the Lord on entering the cabinet!" ”

There have long been rumors in the imperial court that as long as the Liao affairs are certain, Wang Qi, Xiong Tingbi, and Wang Huazhen will enter the cabinet, and Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, and Xu Guangqi will form a six-member cabinet

That's why Yuan Chonghuan said this.

"Hehe," Xiong Tingbi chuckled: "This matter is too early, and it will be concluded only after the gold is cut!" ”

Although Xiong Tingbi was shaking his head, anyone with a discerning eye could see the smile and expectation between his eyebrows.

After more than ten years of hard study, decades of ups and downs in the sea, and suffering and calculations, who doesn't want to enter the cabinet and glorify their ancestors?

It is also mundane to be fair, and it is inevitable to suffer from such a mentality of gain and loss.

"My lord, there's one more thing."

"What?" Xiong Tingbi tasted the flower tea before the rain, revealing a faint floral fragrance.

Yuan Chonghuan tidied up his cuffs and said respectfully: "Zu Dashou, Zhao Shujiao, Cao Wenzhao and several other chief military officers all want to know when the candidates for the forward generals can be decided."

The realization of the total army level generals in the entire Liaodong has been divided into two factions, one is the original Wang Qi when the establishment of a group of generals, a group of generals, among them, such as Guangning City General Qin Erbao, Guangning City Deputy General Lu Xiangsheng, and Deputy General Soldier Luo Chengyi, as well as Zhenwu Fort General Man Gui and others, are all brave and fierce generals.

And there is another faction, which belongs to the local generals of Liaodong, and is mixed with some candidates promoted by Xiong Tingbi himself, including the ancestral family of Liaodong, as well as Cao Wenzhao, who rose rapidly in the Battle of Ningyuan, and Zhao Shujiao, the deputy commander of Ningyuan City.

These two factions are eyeing the selection of Jin's striker after the defeat, and they don't want to let others take the credit for winning the first place.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi's choice is very delicate.

Neither can you offend the newly rising Qingzhuang generals with Wang Qi as your backer, but you can't ignore the local generals in Liaodong.

As the leader of the military and government in Liaodong, Xiong Xianggong also has a headache in this matter.

"Why don't you ask the court?" Yuan Chonghuan opened his mouth and made a suggestion.

"I am the strategy of Liaodong, if I don't have the right to decide on this matter, or if I can't handle it well, how can I convince the public? What do the ministers and emperors of the court think of me? Xiong Tingbi got up, paced to the door, looked at the blue sky in the distance, and was silent for a long time before muttering to himself: "Zu Dashou is the general of Liaodong, I look at it, but it is a great responsibility!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan, who got up, stood not far from Xiong Tingbi, nodded when he heard the words, and echoed: "If General Zu is the vanguard commander, he can serve the public, presumably Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng will not have any opinions, after all, on the battlefield, military merit and seniority come first, Zu Dashou is quite a general, he has many meritorious services in the battle of Ningyuan City and the defense of Guangning City, and he is also a suitable candidate, even if the Duke of Langguo knows, he will not say anything."

"Element."

"The lower official is here!"

"It's still early, you go and call Zu Dashou, I have my own words!" Xiong Tingbi turned his head to look at Yuan Chonghuan, and whispered two sentences: "Invite you to enjoy the flowers with a wine banquet!" Don't alarm others. ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Yuan Chonghuan bowed and nodded, and then left in a hurry.

Standing alone in front of the courtyard, Xiong Tingbi thought for a while, and then summoned his relatives: "Someone." ”

"Sir, you command."

"Go and fetch the pair of jade carved Biluan in the house and send them to my study," Xiong Tingbi commanded, and walked towards the study.

Not long after, the relatives brought people into the house with a pair of palm-sized full-body jasper fairy luans.

"Put it here," Xiong Tingbi waved his hand, let the subordinates go out, and then did his own ink.

"Zu Dashou is the pioneer, and this matter should be reported to Lang Guogong in advance, so as not to damage the friendship," Xiong Tingbi nodded silently, and then looked at the pair of jasper fairy luans, his eyes were full of reluctance.

This pair of superb jasper was obtained in Baoding Mansion when he was the first inspector of the imperial history, and he has been playing for seven or eight years, and he has already had a deep feeling.

This time, Xiong Tingbi made Zu Dashou the vanguard, mainly to minimize Wang Qi's influence in this battle, and pave the way for his own promotion in the future.

After all, no one wants to be taken away from them, does they?

In a short time, a draft of a letter that was full of joy and friendship was written, and Xiong Tingbi gently blew the ink and checked it up and down several times before transcribing it again.

"My lord, Yuan Zhicha has arrived with Master Zu," outside the door, he knocked softly.

"Okay, take it to the front hall, I'll go right away," folded the letter, Xiong Tingbi exhaled lightly, stretched out his hand and touched the pair of jasper again reluctantly: "I hope you can live up to your trust."
