The seventeenth year of Wanchang was destined to be a restless year. Even though the previous eleven months were nothing special, so many great things happened in the last month of the year.
If Yun Zheng, the legitimate son of Yun Guogong, jointly attacked the Luoyang Poetry Society and received a special decree from Emperor Wanchang to grant Jinke Tanhua, it was just a small beginning. Then, the Liao army of 200,000 troops went south to attack Wei.
Under the leadership of two brothers, Yunzheng and Yungang, they won the first battle and defeated an enemy of 50,000 men. The mountain commander Yunlan took command of Yanyun and confronted Xiao Tianzuo, the king of the North Branch of the Liao army, in Tanzhou. Emperor Wanchang urgently summoned Yunzheng back to the capital to fight against his ministers. The main force of the Liao army was thousands of miles away.
Rushing to capture Xiazhou, Yun Chengfeng's "poemous couplets laughed away three thousand men" outside Luoyang City, "Peony Ode" in the Jinluan Palace "wen shook Luoyang City"... This series of major events dazzled people and shocked them.
However, no one expected that the most shocking thing of the year would happen two days before New Year's Eve, during the last court meeting in the 17th year of Wanchang in the Wei Dynasty.
"The murder case in Jiangning, in which more than two hundred lives were reduced to ashes in one night. After the case, Governor Xu, Chief Envoy Yuan, and the Inspector General neglected their duties so much that such a major case went unsolved for a long time, causing the country's two hundred
When the great power of Tianhuang fell, the resentment and anger of the people of Jiangning could be heard in Luoyang! Now I have found out that there is a right servant of the Ministry of household affairs, Dai, who comes from a famous family, has good virtues, is noble, and knows people well. He can be called Zhongliang, so the edict goes:
On the day of Dai Ke, I received the golden ax and the nine-section staff, and inspected the administration and finance of Jiangsu on my behalf. I temporarily allowed an eight-hundred-mile postage to be dispatched. I hope you will not let me down, make a clear decision between right and wrong, clean up the moral code, and return the clear sky to the Wei Dynasty.
, return Jiangsu Province to the prosperous world!"
"Emperor Taizu Wu said: 'The great righteousness is in the heart, and the sword is in the hand.' He also said: 'Soldiers are the sharp weapons of the country. They can be sharp but not blunt, they can be diligent but not lazy, they can be precise but not playful. In the prosperous times, all
The ancestral words of our ancestors are still in my ears, and I dare not forget them even after half a breath. I think that the ambition of the Liao thieves is difficult to control, Xixia has returned to its old ways, Tubo is looking at the wolf, and Dali is ready to move... Therefore, today's edict: The royal family uses the funds from the internal treasury to build
The two armies of Longxiang and Fengwu were stationed in the capital to guard the capital, and each of the two armies had six guards... Also thinking of the urgent border situation, Xu Hereditary No.1 replaced the Duke of Yun, hereditary No.1 replaced the Duke of Zhou, hereditary No.1 replaced the Duke of Yu, and hereditary No.1 replaced the Duke Jiang Guo.
The establishment of a new army with private funds will also be based on the Six Guards... The six armies can be gathered in one place for training first, and then they will be stationed in various places... Give Yun Guogong's new army the name of 'Ying Yang', and give Zhou Guogong's new army
In the name of 'Tiger Wings', the new army of the Duke of Chongqing is given the name of 'Wolf Fang', and the new army of Duke Jiang is given the name of 'Yuan Jia'..."
The two imperial edicts of Emperor Wanchang were issued one after another, without giving the courtiers any chance to express their opinions. When Xue Zongting finished reading the two imperial edicts, the originally silent Jinluan Hall stood silent for a few breaths, and then suddenly booed and booed from all over the court.
They whispered to each other in twos and threes
Yun Zheng was very happy today, not for anything else but because of the position he was standing in. He was attending the court meeting today on behalf of his father Yun Lan who could not come due to the war, so the position he stood in was extremely conspicuous - first on the right.
One! Opposite him is Mr. Left Prime Minister Shen Cheng, Mr. Shen
But the strange thing is, I don’t know why, Yun Zheng can express himself freely no matter who he is in front of. Even if he faces three thousand imperial students or court officials, he does not feel guilty or unnatural at all, but today he is standing here
Yun Zheng always felt very uncomfortable in this position. Although it was a matter of course for him to stand in this position to replace his father, he just felt something was wrong.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable for long, because Mr. Shen's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and he cast a hidden but very clear questioning look towards Yunzheng.
This is of course asking him what the Yun family means about the new army. Yun Zheng already knew about it yesterday. Today, at best, he only knew a little more about the emperor's names for the six new armies. There is nothing new about this matter. Attitude and handling methods, in fact, I just said it for nothing, I analyzed it and understood it that day. This is a conspiracy. I can't refuse the trap, I can only jump into it.
So Yunzheng nodded.
When Shen Cheng saw him, his eyes narrowed again, and the rest of the family and courtiers also looked at him frequently, making secret glances.
Yun Zheng glanced at Emperor Wanchang seemingly inadvertently, but saw him sitting high on the dragon throne, with a smile at the corner of his eyes and a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
That's a mocking smile, Yunzheng thought in his mind like he was criticizing
"If all the beloved ministers have no objections, then these two matters are settled." Emperor Wanchang suddenly smiled and said, and then looked at Yun Zheng, Zhou Ye's eldest son Zhou Jun, and Yu who just arrived in Luoyang yesterday. Duke Leng Xiang and Duke Jiang Tao asked with a smile: "Chengfeng, Tongming, although your father is not here now, as the eldest son, he should be able to take charge of such small things?" he said. Then, without waiting for Yunzheng and Zhou Jun to reply, he asked Leng Xiang and Jiang Tao: "Leng Aiqing, Jiang Aiqing, do you have any opinions?"
Yun Zheng glanced lightly at Zhou Jun, who was still in shock, and then looked at Leng Xiang, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and Jiang Tao, who was looking at Yun Zheng with his eyes. He felt a little strange in his heart: Zhou Jun was about the same age as him, but He is two years older than me, and this is the first time he has gone to court on behalf of his father. He has never heard of it, so he is completely prepared for it. It is normal to be surprised. Leng Xiang has the same temperament as his surname, he is a gloomy guy. , he would not answer randomly without thinking clearly. It is normal for his face to be uncertain; but what does Jiang Tao mean by looking at me?
Yun Zheng is a little confused. Although the Yun family and the Jiang family are not in the fiercest competition or even confrontation like the Zhou family, their relationship is definitely not a "Yun Gui Jiang Cong" kind of relationship. Then Jiang Tao himself didn't speak but kept watching. What does he do?
When he was wondering, he suddenly found that Emperor Wanchang glanced at him seemingly casually, and his heart suddenly brightened, yes, our Yun family is the number one military family, and what I represent now is my father Shanshuai Yunlan! The "Golden Beams and Jade Pillars" of the Wei Dynasty! My Yun family hasn't expressed its position yet, but the Jiang family is certainly not in a hurry!
As soon as Yunzheng understood this truth, he immediately relaxed. Looking at Emperor Wanchang's eyes, he smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty, this move can strengthen national defense and prevent the surrounding barbarians from peeping into the Central Plains. It is really a top priority now. ...My lord, the Yun family has no objections."
"The Yun family has no objection!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was some commotion in the court. The courtiers had to exchange their opinions softly. The Yun family agreed. What should they do? Should they also agree?
"Your Majesty, Jiang Tao seconded the proposal." Jiang Tao said calmly. He was really not too worried, because among the four major border towns, the Jiang family is probably the richest at the moment, and the Jiang family has the smallest army. Yes, it is only about half of the Yun family, and a large part of it is the navy. It is really a good thing to have more than 30,000 troops now.
"I second the proposal..."
"I also second the proposal..."
Following Yunzheng's agreement, voices of support arose in the court meeting. It seemed that everyone realized that this was a wise move by His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Wanchang laughed and said happily: "Okay, very good, that's settled." Then he nodded towards Yunzheng and praised: "Very good, he is worthy of being the son of Chongshan, he is responsible!"
