Yun Zheng wanted to run away, but Han Qi angrily grabbed the leather rope hanging around his neck. He had been frightened by Yun Zheng just now. When he thought that Fu Bi would make the same mistake as him, the panic was like a tide.
His spiritual intelligence was drowned. The defeat of Haoshuichuan had long been a nightmare that lingered in his mind. Yun Zheng shamelessly exploited his spiritual weakness and severely bruised himself.
Seeing that he couldn't leave, Yun Zheng could only spread his hands and said: "What I said is right, but I always consider things from the worst perspective, not as optimistic as Di Shuai.
Preparing for the worst and hoping for the best is the foundation of my life. Fu Bi's attack itself is a bad move. If you had shown us this plan earlier, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Pang Ji let out a long sigh, walked up to the emperor, took off his hat and put it aside and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is confused and the matter is unclear. I would like to resign from the post of Ping Zhangshi under Zhongshu Menxia and the post of Privy Councilor.
Please, His Majesty the Emperor, choose someone wiser."
Zhao Zhen sighed: "It's not just my fault for loving you. Even I can't escape the blame. The mistake was made by all of us. We have to bear it and bear it together. I still have the courage to admit my mistakes. I must not love you."
Blame yourself.”
Wen Yanbo said strangely: "Your Majesty, we have to admit our mistakes before anything happens. Where in the world can such truth come from? Do we think that Fu Bi will fail? What if Fu Bi wins?"
Once Fu Bi wins this battle, the right time, place and people will be in the hands of our army, and there will be even more room for advancement and retreat!"
Wang Anshi also said: "The world will be clear and bright only when the dust settles. It is really not appropriate to mess up the situation."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "That's fine. You, all the ministers, go and prepare immediately. It won't be too late. No matter what kind of news comes from Qinzhou, we will always respond."
Han Qi helped Pang Ji up, and Zou Tong picked up Pang Ji's official hat, held it respectfully in his hand and handed it to Pang Ji. Pang Ji exclaimed, took the hat, shook his sleeves, and strode towards his official hat.
Go away.
They were almost gone, and Yun Zheng was about to leave, when he heard Zhao Zhen's gloomy voice coming from behind him: "Marquis Wenxin, you beat Yan Guan in front of me, and threatened Bai Guan and others.
I, do you think you have left?"
Yun Zheng turned around helplessly and prostrated in the tunnel: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but held on to the white jade railing and said quietly: "What you said really scared me. Over the years, the Song Dynasty's external wars have always had twists and turns. Except for you and Di Qing's southern expedition, there were no other wars.
One thing went well.
Sometimes we clearly win, but the result is the same as defeat. The Southern Expedition was the first time I tasted the dividends brought by war. The late emperor said to me when he left, saying that I can only be a steadfast king.
, I can't be an overlord, so I have been a conservative king all these years, and I never dare to think too much about opening up territories.
It was you and Di Qing who gave me ambition. Now that ambition has arisen, the grass in my heart has grown like a towering tree. I have just thought about it, and you should go to Qinzhou!"
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry now. Dong Zang has no intention of invading the south. The reason why he attacked Fu Bi was to ensure that he would have no worries. It would not be good to change generals on the spot.
After the battle of Qinzhou has completely subsided, it will be the most appropriate time for the minister to go to Qinzhou. Once the ministers are dispatched, the soldiers and horses of the 15th Route in the West of Beijing will be used. Selecting soldiers and generals is indispensable, and the young army will also
Hui will return to Jian from Huanzhou, and I will mobilize merchants to follow him to the west. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
"Why bring merchants? This is a national war!"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Because merchants prepare logistics for minor ministers and are more reliable than the government, I thought that the imperial merchants should also participate. However, they can only share the war dividends, but do not have any command rights. Even His Majesty
The same is true for the imperial merchants. Once the military plane is delayed, the minister will kill him at the right time. Please don't blame him.
The minister has a violent temper, and once he enters the military camp, he will definitely control everyone with military law, no one will be exempted!"
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "I will not accept your life as a foreigner, let alone a merchant."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "All kinds of accidents happen one after another on the battlefield. Sometimes it is forgivable to be late to report, but in terms of the overall military strategy direction, once it is formulated, it cannot be changed!"
"Where do you think your military strategy will be when you leave the state capital?"
"He Huang, I only want He Huang!"
"In that case, go ahead and make preparations. I will soon have a decree for you to select troops and generals. You can already start implementing it. Your old subordinates should have already trained you the troops you need.
."
"In this case, your Majesty, please decide on the candidates for the Supervisory Army. I think Lu Qingyuan is very good!"
"Hey, hey, that's a good idea. If you send your husband here, won't you become even more lawless? I think You Si Jian Li Chang is a good candidate!"
As Zhao Zhen spoke, he squatted in front of Yun Zheng and looked at him with a straight face and said with a smile: "You just knocked out one of Li Chang's teeth. I thought it might not be easy for you to get him to join you in the same deeds. Why don't you lead him?"
After leaving our newly built 15th Route Jingxi warriors, aren't we allowed to send someone you can trust to go to the west with you?
If you take over the land of Hehuang horse herding, everything will stop. If you can't take it down, just wait for several crimes and be punished! This time, you won't be fined just a few copper coins."
"Your Majesty, please choose someone else, such as Wen Yanbo!"
Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said: "How could I forget that the soldier Zhang Fangping sent to your army was inexplicably thrown into the mire by bandits. In order to ensure that Li Chang does not make any mistakes, I decided to send him a team of royal guards who are responsible for
As long as Li Chang is safe..."
Yun Zheng sighed and left the palace, and went straight to Pang Ji's official residence. What the emperor just said to him needed the endorsement of the prime minister, otherwise he would privately order an army to return to Beijing, and he would not even know how he died.
"When will the action begin?"
"Starting next month, I will always leave enough time to arrange household chores!"
"In this case, there is no need to rush to issue military orders. We have to wait until the court's decree is issued before we can implement them. Private transfer of power is not a good start."
Knowing that Pang Ji would say this, Yun Zheng said goodbye to Pang Ji and went to the Privy Council to find Di Qing. This guy betrayed him severely today and he had to pay a price no matter what.
I don’t know why Di Qing comes to the Privy Council whenever he has free time. He has been dismissed as Deputy Privy Councilor twice, and he couldn’t wait to come to the Privy Council after taking up his new post. In fact, he came here for nothing. Speaking of the management of Deputy Privy Councilor
The power of the military guards in charge of the Third Division and the various divisions in the capital was very great, but at the same time it also showed that he had no power at all. The power to mobilize troops was in the hands of the emperor, so he was like a clay Buddha in the Privy Council, and everyone cheered.
Saying "private envoy Shangguan" and then the birds and beasts dispersed, which is the same as the later generations worshiping Guan Gong.
This position is similar to Yun Zheng's promotion of the 15th Jingxi Road. They both have jurisdiction, but do not have the power to mobilize troops... If we insist on saying that there is a difference, it is that one is a second-grade official and the other is a third-grade official.
There were a lot of official documents on Di Qing's case, which was like a mountain. Yun Zheng picked up one of the documents and took a look at it. He found that it was about the distribution of job fields for military officers. Song Dynasty officials all had job fields, which was a supplement to their salaries.
, it is said that the civil officials and governors did not allocate enough land to the army, and that the military wasted a lot of money, the world suffered for a long time, and there was not so much land for the army.
Yun Zheng found a red pen and wrote on it: "The corpse of Zhizhou is sitting on it. He sings and dances all day long and does not do his job. The lieutenant generals can seize Zhizhou's official field and use it!"
After finishing writing, he put the ink pen on Di Qing's pen holder, intending to find some interesting official documents to review.
Di Qing took a look at the document that Yun Zheng had reviewed, but did not modify it. He put it in the pile of already reviewed documents and said quietly: "If you are angry, go find someone else to send it to. When you go out of the door, turn left and you will see Han Qi's mansion."
house."
"No one else made me feel angry, except you, the old man. You have disgraced all the younger generation with your skinning today. In the end, you found yourself an enemy to oversee the army, and you were threatened by His Majesty."
Di Qing chuckled twice and said: "It's just a matter of scaremongering to scare Han Qi, who has some gaps in his mind. If you want to deceive Pang Ji, that old fox, you are not very good at it. It's best for me to expose those creepy words of yours. If you wait for Pang Ji,
Now that these people have seen through it, if you want to escape easily and dream about it!"
Yun Zheng sat helplessly on the chair and said: "What should I do? Li Chang is my supervisor. With him here, I can't do anything extraordinary. Your Majesty didn't appoint me as the prefect of Qinzhou. I look rich.
Bi will not return to the capital, and I will be pinched in the middle. How can I still fight this battle?"
"That's what it's like to be a general in the Song Dynasty. The last time you led an army alone, you didn't even have a supervisor. This is the only time since the founding of the Song Dynasty. So you are used to being free and loose. This time you try to abide by the rules.
Not wrong.
The army itself should have supervisors and should be restrained. Although an unconstrained army is like tigers and wolves, it is not an army after all. Taizu's yellow robe is proof of this. If you have no thoughts of rebellion, just accept the existence of supervisors."
"This is really fucking dancing in shackles!"
Di Qing put down the pen in his hand, pointed at the pile of documents and said: "I could have turned down these things, but if I didn't do them, these documents would be handed over to others. If the government has the courage to support the soldiers, then
It's just you and me. Since it's me who reviews, the soldiers will have some basis for doing things. If something happens, it has nothing to do with them. What is a big boss if he doesn't support his brothers and sisters below.
By the way, remember to use the seal on the document you reviewed just now, so that when there is a conflict between the Yuhou and the Zhizhou, your name can be used to exonerate you. Anyway, you already have enough bullets, so one more is no big deal.
of."
At this point Di Qing said again: "Do you know that Bi Sheng?"
"I don't know him, but I just feel that this person has been wronged! No one uses the good things without saying anything, and no one appreciates the gifts given to the big guy. It's true!"
"His Majesty has issued an edict in the Golden Palace to exempt Bi Sheng from the death penalty. He will be appointed as the general supervisor and the chief craftsman of the Printing Bureau! This is a good result."
"It's just something that was expected..." (To be continued)
