Chapter 345: The rise and fall of honor and disgrace for a hundred years
In the chamberlain of Liang Shicheng's bedroom, three people were sitting across from each other.
The man at the bottom was short in stature, but he was a straight Japanese from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The second emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi became emperor when he became emperor. The eunuch Wang Jien contributed a lot. When Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he was given great power.
Under Wang Jien, there was a Japanese army composed mainly of Japanese people, which was organized under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
From then on, the Japanese country would pay tribute to several specially trained killers among the Japanese every few years, filling Japan's hearts.
As early as the Song Dynasty, Japan was very submissive to the Song Dynasty, far more than it was to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, let alone the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations.
These people were loyal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because of their cold and ruthless natures and very bloody and cruel methods, they were often sent to perform assassination missions that were not worthy of publicity.
The person currently in charge is a Japanese official, and his Chinese name is Wu Luanbo.
Liang Shicheng closed his eyes and snorted coldly: "It's really annoying that the Western Army has such a small force and our own people are still fighting against each other. When the Khitan is destroyed in the future and we win the victory over the Yan, we will have to let the officials abolish them.
No."
On the other side, the person sitting with a cheerful face was none other than Wang Ning, the Minister of War, who had been enjoying a successful career recently.
Since he took refuge with Liang Shicheng, he had a smooth journey and succeeded in becoming the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty, ranking among the six ministers and nine ministers.
Wang Ning pinched his beard and said with a smile: "They are just some vulgar military officers, they are nothing to care about. It's pitiful that Yang Lin tried his best to protect these generals, but he was treated like this, haha."
When talking about Yang Lin's failure, Liang Shicheng felt relieved from the bottom of his heart. He smiled on his frighteningly white and wrinkled old face and said, "Your idea is indeed a good one. As long as we kill Zhe Yanwen and let the Zhong family brothers think it is...
If Yao Gu takes revenge, they will definitely mediate.
It’s not easy for the two old brothers of the Zhong family to serve the Western Army. Haha, it wouldn’t be a bad idea if our family would give them a noble official to support them in their old age.”
The two people looked at each other and laughed. Wu Luanbo, the Japanese direct officer, didn't know why they were laughing, but in order not to be looked down upon, he laughed too, even louder than Liang Shicheng and Wang Ning.
Just as the three of them were competing and laughing, a waiter suddenly poked his head outside.
Liang Shicheng scolded: "What's the matter? Come in and talk about it."
The visitor bowed and said: "Master, something happened. Yang Lin came to Genyue today and didn't know what he said to the officials. The officials immediately issued an order to transfer Zhong Shidao to the position of deputy envoy to the Privy Council, seal him as a Shaobao, and inspect him.
The school commander is empty."
The Privy Council is the yamen headed by Cai Bian and Gao Qiu. Transferring a local military general to serve as deputy privy envoy is equivalent to giving a sinecure.
Zhongshidao was originally the manager of the Yan'an Prefecture, the actual helmsman of the 80,000 Qin Feng Army.
Now that he was transferred to the capital for no other reason than to come here to retire, the military power under his command would definitely not be preserved.
At this time of year, the soul of the Western Army has been transferred to Bianjing. Is His Majesty going to dismantle the Western Army?
Why did Yang Lin, who used to protect the Western Army so much, suddenly undergo a sudden change? Could it be that he became disheartened and gave up his original plan?
When Liang Shicheng was feeling uncertain, Wang Ning seemed calmer and asked, "Is there any new transfer order?"
"It is said that he is an old general of the Western Army who was expelled from the army because he offended Tong Guan. Your Majesty likes this general very much.
Today he will be restored to his official position as a military commander, rewarded for his merits, granted the title of martial arts master, the governor of Zhongzhou, the governor of Jingyuan, and promoted to the Qin Feng Chang Ping Zhi Huaide Army."
Wang Ning suddenly stood up and asked: "Who is it?"
"What's your name, Yao Pingzhong?"——
Overnight, the seed grower's hair grew on his temples, and he looked much older.
When a person reaches middle age, his hair turns gray overnight. Unless there is something urgent and burning in his heart, he will not reach this point.
The Zhong clan started from the Zhong Family Army founded by Zhong Shiheng, and their descendants joined the army for five generations, and dozens of them died in battle.
Compared with the most famous Yang Jiajun in later generations, the Zhong Jiajun was more famous and played a greater role than the Yang Jiajiang generals, but the Yang Jiajiang generals stepped onto the stage and were dramatized as myths and exaggerated.
color.
Amidst the iron horses and gold, the blue blood and yellow sand, the smoke and dust of the continuous wars in the northwest, and the neighing horses, the passion of the Yellow River is surging in the blood of the Zhong family, and the Beimang character is revealed in their temperament.
Is it necessary to draw a termination mark today?
I work hard to preserve the inheritance of my ancestors. But will my ancestors really agree with my actions? Are I planning for the Zhong family, or are I humiliating the Zhong family?
The Zhong family is different from the Zhe family. The Zhe family are not officials of the Song Dynasty. When they ruled Fugu, the prosperous Tang Dynasty had just begun. The Zhong family was promoted by the Song Dynasty and fought for the Song Dynasty for generations. Among their ancestors
Under the leadership of Zhong Shiheng, the Zhong family army built a new barrier against Xixia in the northwest frontier in a short period of time. In recognition of Zhong Shiheng's achievements, the imperial court named this new city Qingjian City, which is the name of the Zhong family army.
The foundation of.
My brother was transferred to Bianjing, and the court gave him enough respect, and he was granted the title of Shaobao, and he was given the rank of public minister and a first-class official position. In fact, my brother didn't know the inside story at all. He had been retiring in Nanshan when he was old, so he didn't care about these things.
Zhong Shizhong knew that what he had done was already known to everyone. Otherwise, Yang Shaozai, who had always protected the Western Army from being dismantled, would not have made such a decision suddenly.
The Fugu family, they are determined to keep their own Fugu, and I should not condone them, let alone be confused for a moment and join in the evil deeds with them.
Fortunately, the imperial court did not transfer him here, so things may turn around.
When he was sitting alone with a delicate cup, the door was gently pushed open, and Yao Pingyi walked in absentmindedly.
"Second Uncle Jinglue Zhong."
Seeing his ugly expression, the cultivator frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"Third brother, he already knows that he came to say goodbye today and said he wanted to sever the brotherhood with me."
The seed master curled his lips and said: "Nonsense, he is also a nephew of the Yao family, can he be the one to break it off? Where is Xi Yan, let him come to see me."
"Second Uncle Zhong, Third Brother, he has been promoted. The officials asked him to promote Qin Feng to Changping Zhihuaide Army."
With a clang, the cup in Master Zhong's hand fell to the ground, and he felt suddenly uneasy.
Yao Pingzhong went to take charge of Qin Fengjun. No one knew who Yao Pingzhong was better than them.
He has outstanding military exploits and extraordinary bravery. He always takes the lead in every battle and defeats the heroes of Qin and Long. No one in the army refuses to accept him, and he earns the title of Little Lieutenant.
In the battle to extinguish Xia, the man recognized as the leader in military exploits was expelled from the army by Tong Guan, who was jealous of his talents. I don’t know how many soldiers were aggrieved by him.
What's even more terrible is that he is one of the Western Army's own, a son of the Zhong family. How many of them are dissatisfied with the young Taiwei?
