Chapter 5 Jun En (Part 2) Seeing that Pei Yun, the imperial censor, was repeatedly making trouble for his confidant and general, Yang Guang's face flashed with emotion, "Why not? Don't I have no power anymore?"
Appoint a commander to lead the army?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't mean that! Your Majesty, listen to what I have to say!" Pei Yun, the censor doctor, was frightened and stammered in reply. He was indeed an old censor who relied on impeaching others to eat. He lowered his head and raised his eyes.
He spun around quickly and found a perfect reason almost in an instant. "General Li is the pillar of the country. Your Majesty wants to put him to great use. I am absolutely in favor of it! But Your Majesty appointed General Li as the General of Zuotunwei.
But it’s not inevitable, but it’s not inevitable…”
"But it doesn't mean anything. Don't talk around in circles with me!" Yang Guang glared and ordered.
"But it would be a injustice to the talented people!" Pei Yun took a breath and answered like a loyal minister who was outspoken and dared to remonstrate.
"Today's weather is abnormal, and it was abnormal last night!" Several civil servants who had always been good friends with Pei Yun looked at each other, unable to guess what tricks he was playing. His Majesty the Emperor clearly wanted to appoint Li Xu as the Cavalry General just now.
Everyone was powerless to stop them, and they were on tenterhooks. They finally hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would change his mind, but Pei Yun felt that Li Xu was undermining his talents by serving as the general of Zuotunwei! Could it be that he had benefited from the surname Li? But it is normal to accept benefits to speak for others.
When the time comes, Pei Yun will say hello to everyone, so that everyone can work together. Why did he eat alone today?
Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard Pei Yun clearing his throat and saying loudly: "Your Majesty, now that the storm is raging, Goguryeo is eyeing it in Liaodong. Shibi Khan may also send troops to retaliate against Yanzhao's hometown at any time, as well as Dou Jiande.
Wei Dao'er, Zhang Jincheng and other bandits are causing chaos everywhere, and the Zuo Tun Guard has never regained its old vitality since being buried by the criminal Tu Wanxu the year before last. It will not be possible to prepare for the battle in a short time. Your Majesty has appointed General Li as the leader of the Zuo Tun Guard.
Do you want to use him to train troops? Do you want to make him lead the troops to defend the country?"
"Of course I hope he will command the army immediately and go to the battlefield for me!" Yang Guang's expression improved a little, and he slowly replied that he understood what Pei Yun meant, and the Zuotun guards and horses returned to Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo
However, in November of the ninth year of Daye, the two men were convicted of "passive avoidance of war". After the death of Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo, there were no good generals in the Zuotunwei army. They were defeated repeatedly in battles. Now they have become
If the imperial court appoints Li Xu as the general of Zuotunwei, it will be equivalent to asking him to retrain an army. No matter how talented he is, he may not be able to lead the army again in less than a year!
"Now the court is in urgent need of hiring people. Your Majesty will not let General Li lead the troops in battle, but forces him to train troops in the rear. I think this is inappropriate. Please think again!" Pei Yun bowed and saluted, and remonstrated.
"Your Majesty, please think again!" Several officials then understood Pei Yun's good intentions and stepped forward together to second the proposal.
As long as Li Xu is not allowed to lead the army alone and is handed over to any general, other upright personalities may be feared for a while. Even the wily Yu Shiji began to admire Pei Yun's quick wit and said, "What a great doctor Pei.
This will let that wild boy know how important we are and think that with the support of the emperor, he can do whatever he wants. If the way to promotion is that simple, what are we old ministers doing standing in the court?"
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to return to Xingyang and continue to assist General Zhang!" Li Xu had already seen that the DPRK was a place of disputes, and asked himself that he did not have the strength to deal with a group of old guys who took pleasure in intrigues. He smiled and gave in again.
"No, I will never go back on what I promised you?" Yang Guang was a little embarrassed and stomped his feet in anger. But Pei Yun was very reasonable: letting a good general like Li Xu go to train troops is indeed wronging him.
"Except Zuotunwei...?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you let General Li continue to command Xiongwu Camp!" Lai Hu'er, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward and gave Yang Guang a good idea. "General Li originally brought Xiongwu Camp out, and he knows all the soldiers.
After my old friend General Li is gone, he will soon be able to make the soldiers return home!"
"This wicked man will come to protect you!" Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen, was so angry that he bit his tongue. The Yuwen family had just been convicted, and Yuwenshi was inevitably implicated. At this moment, Xiongwu Camp was handed over to Commander Li Xu, and he came to protect him with all his words.
He not only sold Li Xu's favor, but also conveniently attacked the Yuwen family, killing two birds with one stone. However, the Xiongwu camp is now one of the best in the world, and it also has the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor and all civil and military officials. This person in this position has a greater influence on the court than he was just now.
The two positions that everyone rejected are neither important nor minor. If Li Xu took over, everyone would really have shot themselves in the foot today.
"Shiji is not at fault. I have already said that I will not implicate him. I cannot break my promise!" Yang Guang shook his head gently and made a decision that made Pei Ju and others breathe a sigh of relief. Yuwen Shiji led the Xiongwu camp to kill
Although from a strategic point of view, this move was like throwing a moth into the fire, he chose to live and die with Yang Guang at the critical moment. Yang Guang was absolutely unwilling to live up to it.
"Granny, this emperor is really tired of being fooled!" Seeing the officials colluding to argue with Yang Guang, Luo Shi secretly sighed with confidence. From his perspective, what kind of country is employing people, what kind of qualifications are expected, all that
It's all nonsense. Since Li Xu can drag a group of gangsters from the Xiongwu Camp to the battlefield in just a few months, it is possible to restore Zuotunwei to life in the same time! These ministers talk about the country and shut up about the Sui Dynasty.
In fact, all he was thinking about was the three-thirds of an acre of land at home, including taking care of his children. He didn't necessarily have any good intentions when he looked at the way he smiled. There was clearly a knife hidden in his eyes?
"If I, Luo Shixin, take care of it!" he imagined boldly in his mind, "I will order people to push out the people named Pei, the person named Yu, and the person named Kong to kill all the old ministers and scholars. Without them, the Great Sui Dynasty
Maybe there will be a chance to calm down the Yang Qi!"
"Your Majesty, who is soft-hearted and indecisive, coupled with a sense of justice and personal favors, is nothing more than that!" Not only Luo Shixin, but also Li Shimin sitting next to him was extremely disdainful of Yang Guang's behavior.
Silly things, and surrounded by a bunch of sycophants who only want to get benefits but don't do practical things, it's strange that there is still hope in this Sui Dynasty!" Thinking like this, he couldn't help but start to worry about his family's future again, "Youdao
It's because eggs are rarely left intact when the nest is overturned. Although the court was unkind to the Li family, if the Sui Dynasty were to perish..."
Li Shimin had a cold war and did not dare to think any more. At this moment, the old general Yun Dingxing beside him stood up and suggested to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the general has an idea, I wonder if it is feasible?"
"Just tell me!" Yang Guangzheng frowned with worry. Hearing Yun Dingxing say that there was a way, no matter how deeply prejudiced he was before, he immediately responded with a smile.
Yun Dingxing is the father-in-law of the deposed prince Yang Yong. Because of this relationship, he has been repeatedly suppressed by Yang Guang for many years. At the worst time, his entire family was almost robbed. This man is quite good at self-preservation, and he got in touch with the Yuwen family in time.
He had a relationship, so he chose a life to come back. These years, this person has been stumbling around in the officialdom. With his qualifications as a veteran of the two dynasties, his official position is not big now, but it is not too small either.
He is leading a frontier army. Because the general has been squeezed out, there are many vacancies of soldiers, and there is no available talent to keep such a team. It will definitely be a disaster in the coming troubled times, so Yun Ding
Xing had always wanted to find an opportunity to retire and return home, handing over his military power. Now the ministers are arguing over Li Xu's placement. For Yun Dingxing, this is a good deal!
"Your Majesty, the general is already sixty-seven this year. Even if he wants to be loyal to the country, he is not strong enough!" Yun Dingxing opened his mouth, first clarifying his difficulties and loyalty to the Sui Dynasty.
I went, mainly because I was afraid that my successor would be incompetent and miss His Majesty's request. In recent days, I have been fighting side by side with General Li Lang. I have witnessed with my own eyes that his plans to defeat the enemy are as easy as boiling soup and throwing snow. Therefore, General Mo is willing to recommend General Li Lang to succeed him.
I hope your majesty will approve the post of final general!"
"How can this be done? Your Majesty, I don't dare to take on this important task. General Yun is magnanimous and a famous commander. I don't dare to steal his position to enrich myself!" As soon as Yun Dingxing finished speaking, Li Xu immediately refused.
When he entered the palace in the morning, he saw Yu Wenshu and his son walking out dejectedly. So when the guardian mentioned that he should replace Yuwenshi and take charge of the Xiongwu Camp, his heart was filled with longing, "If I take charge of the Xiongwu Camp, Chongmu will not
It will be as painful as it is now!" The behavior of her friend trying to die on the battlefield has always been imprinted in Xuzi's heart. Every time she thinks about it, she feels extremely heavy.
Who would have expected that Yang Guang still had trust in Yu Wenshi and had no intention of handing over Xiongwu Camp to others. Old General Yun Dingxing had followed Li Xuyan's advice all the way and treated him as his confidant. If Li Xu replaced the old general's position, under the influence of others,
In the eyes, it seems too ruthless and meaningless
"General Li, don't shirk it. I'm old and it's really time to beg for my bones! Brothers, I have been following you these days. I know that you can replace me for me. No one will be unconvinced and hand over his soldiers to someone else."
I feel less worried about people with real abilities!" Yun Dingxing turned his head and told Li Xu frankly.
"Old General, you are honorable!" Before Li Xu could shirk again, Yang Guang happily replied, "I promise you that the frontier troops under your command will be under the command of General Li from now on! I will order people to make up for the shortage of personnel as soon as possible with food, grass and equipment, Li
Generals can also be filled from among the refugees.”
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Yun Dingxing took half a step back and stood in awe with his fists clasped.
"I will not treat Old General Yun badly!" Before Li Xu could continue to refuse, Yang Guang shook his head at him and signaled him to calm down. "Yun Dingxing listens to the order. In this decisive battle of Yanmen, you have worked hard and have made great achievements. I have authorized you to take the left position."
The general of the garrison, Duke Yiyang, has returned to his hometown to retire, and his salary will be as per the county regulations!"
"General, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!" Yun Dingxing was overjoyed and tears welled up in his eyes. "My dear, from generation to generation in my family, I will never forget Your Majesty's kindness in knowing me!"
"Well, you're wearing armor, so you don't need to be polite!" Yang Guang took two steps forward and held up Yun Dingxing's arm that was almost hanging on the ground. "If you have time in the future, come to Dongdu often to see me. I'm getting old.
My memory is not as good as it used to be!"
His memory is not as good as it was back then, which means that Yang Guang is ready to wipe out all the grudges from that year. After hearing this, Yun Dingxing felt a heat rolling in his heart. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and tears fell down.
