Chapter Ninety-Five: The Governor of the Chinese Army, Qu Chang'an
Yanzhou is the northern gateway of the imperial capital, where half of the Chinese army is stationed.
The Chinese army, also known as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, is the head of the five forbidden armies, and the left governor of the Chinese army has always been regarded as the second person in the Dadu Governor's Mansion after the Dadu Governor, and it is also the best candidate to take over the Dadu Governor.
The reason why the left governor of the Chinese army has such a prominent position is because he is in charge of the defense of Yanzhou and Zhili Prefecture, and has the responsibility of defending the imperial capital, so it is different from the other four military governors, and its candidates must be the emperor's confidants and cronies.
Compared with the natural promotion of Zhang Wuzhi and Yu Kuang's promotion to three levels, the appointment of Qu Chang'an, the new governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, is somewhat unexpected.
Qu Chang'an and his people, after the honor, his father Qu Cang ranked thirteenth in the Lingyan Pavilion, Feng Zhuguo, special Jin Ronglu doctor, Xun Guogong, successively served as the right governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, the left governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, and the governor of the palm seal of the Dark Guard Mansion, etc., it can be said that he was the confidant of the first emperor, and the Empress Dowager Lin Yinping pacified the party dispute in Lanhan, and Qu Cang's role was also crucial.
In all fairness, Qu Cang is indeed mediocre in the ten years of competition, and the reason why he can be in a high position is because of the word loyalty, which is extremely trusted by the emperor, and it can be seen from his ability to overwhelm Duanmu Ruisheng in charge of the Dark Guard Mansion for many years, and he has never missed the position in the previous court changes, and everything is based on His Majesty's horse, so that he is still in a stable and good death after nearly forty years of gloomy authority in charge of the Dark Guard Mansion.
According to reason, Qu Changan has such a prominent father, he should have entered the Dark Guard Mansion and climbed slowly, after all, Qu Cang has been operating there for forty years, with a deep foundation and countless old departments, if he enters the Dark Guard Mansion, it is almost a sure thing to become one of the three major governors in the future, but Qu Changan has not set foot in the Dark Guard Mansion half a step since he was a child, and he does not even have the position of a captain of the Dark Guard Mansion.
This is not because he has any bad feelings towards the Dark Guard Mansion, but Qu Cang does not want him to contaminate the Dark Guard Mansion. After all, the Secret Guard Mansion is the emperor's eyes and ears and the knife of killing, and the authority is extremely heavy, if the father and son are in charge of the Secret Guard Mansion one after another, then it is inevitable that some people will think that the Secret Guard Mansion is the Qu family's Secret Guard Mansion, not the emperor's Secret Guard Mansion, so that no matter how much Your Majesty relies on trust, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion and bad incense, which is the way to die for disaster.
So Qu Cang took the initiative to take a step back, first put Qu Chang'an in the inner guard, and then transferred from the inner guard to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and after the current son ascended the throne, Qu Changan transferred from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and finally entered the Chinese army as the governor of the city, and served as the right governor of the Chinese army.
It is also strange to say, Qu Chang'an, who has no military achievements, is obviously much worse than Zhang Wuxian and Yu Kuang, if there are not too many accidents, he will almost stop at the position of the right governor, and he is also the one who has the authority behind the two right governors, but who would have thought that maybe because of Qu Cang's incense love of taking the initiative to retreat, Qu Changan actually became the left governor of the Chinese army in this personnel change, which made the temple princes miscalculate.
But if you think about it, the reason why Qu Changan was able to be promoted to the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army is actually very simple, because he followed his father's old path, being a lonely minister, not forming a party, not being dependent, he is neither a member of the Blue Party, nor a member of the Han Party, and has nothing to do with the King of Qi, King Yan and other clan vassal kings, and he is a person who can reassure the emperor.
In some positions, the ability is still secondary, and the key is whether you can rest assured.
The princes have a rough idea in their hearts, Your Majesty is now almost at the age of sixties, and the King of Qi is in the prime of life, His Majesty has not established the prince for a long time, and has enabled Qu Chang'an to be the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, and he has not been without the intention of taking precautions.
According to the law system of the Great Qi, the Metropolitan Governor and the five Zuodu Governors have the right to open the capital, in addition to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Beijing, the remaining five military governors are located in Zhili Prefecture, Zhongdu, Beidu, Shuzhou and Huzhou, the Chinese military Governor's Mansion is located in Bohai Mansion, Zhili Prefecture, that is, it is the closest to the imperial capital, and it is also the gateway to the barrier imperial capital.
Outside the Bohai City, the armor is like a forest.
At the head of the city, in addition to the generals, there are three people who are particularly conspicuous.
Among them, wearing the armor of a first-class military general, it is natural that the new governor of the central capital, Qu Chang'an, has a resolute face, a long beard, and a dignified appearance.

However, Qu Changan, as the person with the highest official position in Bohai Mansion, was respectful to an old man beside him, and the old man occasionally asked questions, and he tried his best to answer them, without any impatience.
The old man had white hair, did not wear official uniforms, and was dressed in plain clothes, and after a general look at the military formation under the city, a group of three people turned around and entered the city gate tower, and the generals stopped outside the gate.
Qu Changan wanted to speak and stopped: "Han Xiang......"
The old man sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Tiance Mansion will come to help from the side." ”
Qu Changan was about to say something, Han Xuan had already waved his hand to stop his words, pointed to the middle-aged man sitting beside him, and said: "This is Shi Zhaoqing, the head of Tiance Mansion, the tenth person on the newly released Tianji List, the first master in Da Nei, are you at ease?"
Zhao Qing's face was expressionless.
Qu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, first bowed to Zhao Qing, and then laughed at himself with a bitter face: "Han Xiang, Qu knows that his ability and virtue are unable to take on such an important position, and the reason why he was lucky to get this high position is actually because of His Majesty's wrong love, so since he took office, he has been lamenting all night, lest he will be disappointed." ”
Han Xuan said indifferently: "Qu Dudu, Your Majesty uses your own Majesty's reasoning, you don't have to worry too much, do your own thing, just do your best." ”
Qu Changan became more and more frightened, and he didn't know what the intentions of this second assistant of the current dynasty were.
In fact, according to common sense, a Chinese military left governor does not have to grovel so much to the cabinet subordinate, the two can be equal, just because Han Xuan, the second subordinate, is different from the ordinary subordinate, the holy family is long, and the power is inclined to the temple, but Qu Chang'an, the left governor of the Chinese army, has a shallow foundation, not to mention compared with Lin Han and Wei Ban back then, it is much different from his predecessor, so it is reasonable for Qu Changan to take the initiative to lower his posture.
Han Xuan didn't mean to explain too much, but said softly: "Qu Du will supervise you and deal with military affairs, and you will be old and decrepit." ”
Qu Changan hurriedly got up and retired.
After he left, Zhao Qing, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Will there really be a fight this time? If it comes to the point where you want to mobilize a large army to enter Beijing, even if there is no danger, this face will be lost." ”
Han Xuan said slowly: "Now Your Majesty no longer cares about paying attention to face, they all say that you will inherit peace and inherit the peace of the world, Your Majesty really wants to make this world seek peace." ”
Zhao Qing shook his head and said: "If Xiao Yu said this, I might believe it, but Xiao Xuan said this, I don't think he can do it, an emperor who has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, has never suffered hardships, has not suffered setbacks, and has not experienced ten years of chasing deer, why should he just rely on him as Xiao Yu's son?"
After a long silence, Han Xuan sighed softly, "It's man-made." ”
