Chapter 1346: The veteran's final words, Shen Tang regrets
Chapter 1346: The veteran’s last words made Shen Tang feel regretful
Different from the letter left to Zhang Jun, this letter said a lot! It told about the difficulty of joining the army with his brother when he was a boy, about the passion on the battlefield, and also about the growing pains in his heart as he grew older. More and more anxiety and hope!
"I am old, and I am afraid that I will die soon to see my brother! Brother Deyuan is also old, and there is Binfu, Qiji, and the age of a turtle..."
Needless to say, Deyuan refers to Zhang Jun. The three people behind him are Zhang Shou, Xin Ciying, and Wang Shipeng! These people are similar in age to Wu Lin, Zhang Jun and others, but they are not military generals. He is a scholar!
Among them, Zhang Shou was just Piyonglu, Wang Shipeng, the number one scholar in Shaoxing for twenty-seven years, was just the secretary, and Xin Ciying was just the censor Zhongcheng! These people have different official ranks, and the only thing they have in common is that they are honest officials. , Dare to speak out and advocate against gold!
"I'm afraid we old guys will leave one by one soon, but the Song Dynasty cannot be without hope! We do not demand high-ranking officials and generous salaries, nor do we demand rewards from the court, but as sons and daughters of the Song Dynasty, we cannot be sorry Conscience, I'm sorry for this pride, and we can't let our children and grandchildren die without a burial place in the future!"
"This country does have disadvantages of one kind or another, and many treacherous villains control the court. But you have to know that there are still countless great heroes who are willing to fight, fight, and die for this country!"
"Although I was defeated in the north, I have no regrets! But when I got to the spring, I had the dignity to meet my brother and say that I died fighting for the Song Dynasty..."
Shen Tang's palm gently caressed the letter, and he felt emotion and compassion in his heart! What Wu Lin said is true, these older generations are already old, and there is nothing they can do even if they want to fight again, but this country needs There is inheritance and hope! For no other reason than for the persistence in your heart, you cannot give up.
“There are high mountains and lofty mountains, and dangerous cliffs.
Bones are as hard as stone and air is as strong as iron. How could Sichuan and Shu fear the enemy?
The disgrace of Jingkang led to the death of Bianzhou, but he survived and continued to live in Han Dynasty in Shuzhong.
The Jin was defeated repeatedly in front of Dashan Pass, and half of the country was secured!"
"It's a pity that I never met the old general. This is a lifelong regret!"
Shen Tang sighed and said.
Zhang Jun shook his head slightly, "What's the difference between seeing it and not seeing it?"
The two were silent for a moment, and then Zhang Jun asked, "What are your plans for coming here?"
War or peace?"
Shen Tang said in a deep voice, "Fight first and make peace! If you fight, you will win, and if you make peace, you will win!"
Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows, this is indeed the best, "This time, your Majesty will give you the Emperor's Sword to patrol the hunting states on behalf of the sky, and control these two groups of soldiers and horses. In addition, as a pacifier of the Chengdu Prefecture, it is indeed Enough! However, in the court, it may not be easy to pass this matter smoothly!"
Shen Tang nodded. Although the last time he sent troops to Dali has passed, the problem has not been fundamentally solved. It is just that Shen Tang was already in the north at that time, so the civil and military officials in the court could no longer do anything. That’s it! Therefore, in order to avoid getting into trouble with Zhao Shen and getting out of hand, and since Shen Tang had already left and it would have no impact on the court, Ye Yong and others naturally shelved the matter.
But now, not only has Shen Tang returned to his original position, but he also has greater authority than before! How can these people feel at ease?
"There's one more thing, I don't know how you think about it!"
Zhang Jun spoke again and said, "This time, because of the defeat of Fengxiang Mansion, all civil and military officials criticized Yu Yunwen! Moreover, I am afraid that in His Majesty's heart, he does not have much favorable impression of Yu Yunwen! Now, His Majesty is just using Yu Yunwen to We are just continuing to carry out the military affairs. After the military affairs have achieved initial results, I am afraid that Yu Yunwen will no longer be able to hold the position of Privy Councilor! Then, who do you think can take over?"
Seeing that Shen Tang was silent, Zhang Jun said slowly, "I know that you are not willing to hook up with the courtiers, but there are some things you need to do after all! You are away all year round, and if you want to do something, even if you have Even with great ability, it is not enough without the support from the court!"
"Zhi Weng naturally supports you, but now that Ye Ye is holding you back, many things cannot be determined.
In addition, I have received news that some people have started planning Wang Mingyuan as Yu Yunwen's successor! This Wang Mingyuan has a very close relationship with Chen Kangbai!"
Wang Mingyuan, named Wang Che! He was a Jinshi for eight years in Shaoxing and is now the pacifier of Fuzhou and Fujian! He previously agreed with Zhao Shen's inner Zen as the emperor, so he was favored by Zhao Shen, and even mentioned him as a political advisor. However, because At that time, the relationship between Tang Sidui and Wang Che was not harmonious, and Chen Kangbai was already there, so Wang Che did not push too hard and avoided a head-on conflict with Tang Sidui.
Naturally, Shen Tang and Chen Kangbai were not harmonious. In fact, Chen Kangbai's resignation as prime minister had something to do with Shen Tang! But now, if Wang Che succeeds as Privy Envoy, then for Shen Tang, a general leading troops abroad, Naturally this is not a good thing.
After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Shen Tang also pondered. A suitable Privy Councilor is indeed very important to him! Although he has made some plans in recent years, after all, he has been in the official position for too short time, and his plans are to be truly Once you have the power, it will take a long time to take it away.
Privy Councilor's position
He also heard that the Deputy Privy Councilor Diao Hongxin went to express his goodwill to him! However, Diao Hongxin was useful but not very useful. Furthermore, even though there was some conflict between Diao Hongxin and Ye Yong and others, it was not completely Nothing to do!
After thinking for a long time, Shen Tang suddenly said, "Liu Gong, the governor of Quzhou, and Wei Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, what do Prime Minister Zhang think?"
Liu Gong, named Gongfu, lived in the twelfth year of Shaoxing. He became a Jinshi in his weak years and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. However, he was dismissed because he was evil to the powerful Prime Minister Qin Hui. It was not until Qin Hui's death that he was summoned by the imperial court again. Da Zongzhengcheng, later served as a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wai Lang, and then successively served as Secretary, Shaojian, Zhongshu Sheren, Jiankang left-behind bachelor.
His literary talent was excellent, and he was even better at writing edicts and appeals. During the Northern Expedition, when he wrote an appeal, Zhao Shenguan said, "The words were so intense that those who heard them burst into tears!"
It is also because of this that Zhao Shen is very good at Guang'an!
The next year, Zhao Shen promoted him to Zhiquanzhou, and only one year later he was promoted to Zhiquzhou!
The reason why Shen Tang mentioned his name was, first of all, that although this person was not proficient in military affairs, he was an upright man and was hands-on in everything he did. Although he was not a tough fighter, he also supported the imperial court's progress.
But what Shen Tang likes most about him is his status in the literary world! This person is not only favored by Zhao Shen, but also has a great status in the literary world. Even Zhou Bida, Lu You and others are now competing with It's not even half as good compared to it.
