Volume IV Chapter 21 The Imperial Meeting
On the second day, at the court meeting, Xiao Tiantu told the main situation and needs of the state capitals and how to deal with them on the Qi Nian text he read yesterday.
Although this Qi Nianwen is in charge of the general's office, according to the rules, it still has to be played the next day, first, to notify the household department to coordinate, and secondly, to listen to their opinions with the hundred officials.
After Xiao Shifeng heard this, he was comfortable after all. It seems that most of these New Year's texts are good news, which shows that there are not many livelihood problems in the state capitals, which is the situation that Xiao Shifeng wants to see.
After Xiao Tiantu finished speaking, Xiao Shifeng asked, "Su Xiang, what do you think?"
Su Yongjin said: "The focus of this year is actually on the replacement of the old and new generals of the three prefectures. In the Luzhou Mansion, there is still an Iron Bull Dart Bureau guarding the gate, and over the years, the surrounding bandits have been eliminated, and the people have been able to live in peace; the Minzhou Mansion has become brave and good at military affairs but not good at governance; and Luo Datong, the general of the Xizhou Mansion, has also begun to resign. According to this analysis, there are many rivers and lakes in Luzhou City, and if the general is changed, a mature and stable person will be elected. General Shi is old and pampered, but fortunately, General Xiao corrected it in time, and he is now the head of Xicheng, and he is conscientious and conscientious, and in time, he will become a pillar. But now he is still young, if he is allowed to guard Luzhou, firstly, he is afraid that he will be young and vigorous and eager to take power and clash with the rivers and lakes, and secondly, he is worried that his prestige in the army is insufficient, and it will be difficult to shake the Flying Eagle Army. Therefore, for the post of general of Luzhou Mansion, either let General Shi continue to serve concurrently, or choose another veteran to go. “
After Su Yongjin finished speaking, Xiao Tiantu also agreed: "Your Majesty, it should be so." Shi Lei specializes in the Flying Eagle Army, all of them can penetrate the Yang in 100 steps, the first batch and the second batch of the Flying Eagle Army have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in Saibei, and most of the soldiers are young children, so they are full of momentum. In addition, the iron bull dart bureau in Luzhou City has taken root for a long time and won the hearts of the people, only General Shi knows how to live with it, and he also asks His Majesty to issue a decree to comfort General Shi, and give him loyalty and courage to wait for the throne to calm his heart. ”
Xiao Shifeng nodded and said, "Quasi-play." ”
After Xiao Tiantu finished speaking, Su Yongjin continued: "Minzhou Mansion has become a brave man, and there is no way to govern Minzhou for many years. Your Majesty has done enough favors, and he is willing to resign, so he will go. It's just that his son Cheng Min, who is forty years old, has been a martial artist for ten years in Taiping, and has been a gate official in Luzhou, but because of disagreement with General Zhao Xiong, he was transferred back to Minzhou. I heard that he was in Minzhou, and he was a general, no different from a general. The minister thinks that the court should praise and disapprove in a good way, like this nonsense, it is not useful. Please go to your Majesty and a good man to serve the Quartet. ”
Xiao Shifeng asked Xiao Tiantu: "Is there such a thing?"
Xiao Tiantu nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." It's just that Cheng Shiyong is a former general, and he has contributed to the world, and he is afraid that the people of the world will have something to say. ”
Su Yongjin said: "General of the state capital, the matter is very important, and I hope that the general will be clear." He may transfer his son elsewhere and give him a false position. ”
Xiao Tiantu said: "Su Xiang is still thoughtful, and there is already a candidate for the minister." ”
Xiao Shifeng said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Xiao Tiantu said: "Zhou Yong, the head of the household department, is in the prime of life, responsible for the income and expenditure of the household all the year round, clear and clear, and has a degree of throttling. “
In fact, Xiao Tiantu had already considered the candidate, but Xiao Shifeng had always preferred military generals, so after Su Yongjin finished speaking, Xiao Tiantu said Zhou Yong, a civil official. Even Su Yongjin who was present looked at Xiao Tiantu with a moving expression. The hundreds of officials in the hall are also dissent, thinking that the general of the state capital in the world is still in charge of the army, and the only civilian official Liu Shiqi is also from the army, if this scholar is sent over, I am afraid that the army alone will be very tricky.
Xiao Tiantu saw Xiao Shifeng's hesitation, and then said: "If you add Quartz Jie as the deputy general of the General's Mansion, you can send him to assist Zhou Yong in governing the Minzhou army, and hand over power to Zhou Yong two years later." This move can also train Quartz and prepare him for his appointment in Luzhou. "Love books
Su Yongjin said with a smile: "The general has a lot of opportunities, and this method is very wonderful. ”
The officials in the audience also slowly turned from suspicion to support, Xiao Shifeng could only nod, Xiao Tiantu is indeed for the overall situation, not to mention that now the generals are old and small, and there are not many actual uses.
Su Yongjin continued: "As for General Luo, the capital of Xizhou, his son Luo Xing is young and promising, and he can indeed succeed him. However, considering that he is often in the army, he has no experience in governing the state capital. The minister thought that he still needed a master to guide him, so General Luo was not in a hurry to resign, and he would be a town for another two years to give Luo Xing a good lesson. ”
Xiao Tiantu said: "I have considered this matter. Now he has drafted a cursive letter for the promotion of Luo Xing, the deputy general of the Huizhou Army, to the staff of the Xizhou General's Office, and I ask Your Majesty to read it in detail. ”
After reading it, Xiao Shifeng immediately agreed. His mood was also much better, and he said with a smile: "It's rare and rare, I, the general of the army, can always strategize and take precautions, and I, the literary minister, can always play according to the facts, and offer advice, these two will be harmonious, which is really a blessing for me." ”
The officials in the audience responded: "Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, and you deserve to be a good person." ”
Xiao Shifeng was in a good mood, and asked instead: "I heard that Tibet is not peaceful today, but is there such a thing?"
"But there is such a thing. Xiao Tiantu said truthfully: "There was a mutiny in Xirong a year ago, and the leader was changed overnight. The current leader is called Bomu, who has a violent temperament and is good at killing. In the New Year, he ordered thousands of cavalry to attack the city defense of Tibet, and the whole army was annihilated. Former General Liao wanted to stay alive and ask the reason, but unfortunately all of these living people bit their tongues and committed suicide, and none of them survived. ”
"There is such a thing. Xiao Tiantuqi said: "Fierce as the Northern Barbarians, it is just constantly tempting to intrude." What strength does this Xijon man have to dare to attack my city defense?"
Xiao Tiantu sighed: "I heard that the followers of Bomu are fanatical and demented, and they may want to use this to gain prestige in the clan. Xijon is small, but its small is meaningless. It is also reasonable for General Liao to ask for more ordnance and expand the ranks of soldiers. ”
Xiao Shifeng nodded and said, "Be sure to ensure that the supply in Tibet is sufficient." Such a despicable foreigner, there is no need to be polite, he will fight when he comes, and he will run away, not only that, but he will also go to their house to establish his authority!" Xiao Shifeng has always been very enthusiastic about fighting, so much so that he was so excited that he spoke in the vernacular. Although it is vernacular, it is full of momentum and very inspiring, Xiao Tiantu said with a smile: "The minister should convey His Majesty's holy will and let General Liao Qian feel relieved." ”
Regarding the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Xiao Shifeng and Xiao Tiantu have always talked privately and made private decisions. Because in Xiao Shifeng's eyes, these people can't solve the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and only people in high positions like them can understand the stakes.
At this time, Su Yongjin suddenly coughed twice. Xiao Shifeng was careful and asked with concern, "Has Wen Xiang's injury healed?"
Su Yongjin replied: "I am almost cured, but I still need to recuperate." ”
Xiao Tiantu said: "Wen Xiang received a sword from the thief, but fortunately, the thief failed to succeed." If there is nothing to do, there will be blessings. ”
Su Yongjin smiled and said nothing, Xiao Shifeng pointed to the audience and said: "Su Xiang, don't believe it, these generals are all dead escapes." Now it's all a hero. ”
