This was the only time the escort battalion left the capital with great fanfare.
That's right, Zhao Xi deliberately gathered at Yin hour, and it was not until Mao hour that Zhao Xi ordered the team to set off, and they almost walked through most of Bianliang City.
It was also the first time for the people of Bianliang to see a fully equipped guard camp set out. They shouted rhythmic and charming slogans, matching their footsteps...it looked like they were not comparable to the Forbidden Army.
Some good-hearted people even came closer and gave them some snacks... But the soldiers of these guard battalions still looked forward without squinting.
"Your Highness, why is this necessary?"
Song Chi, this is nonsense. Fu Bi didn't even answer the question, he hummed at me, you should try to stop His Highness!
This matter, alas, is indeed a matter of the Xifu. When Fu Bi saw the memorial, based on his understanding of His Royal Highness, he also suggested a thorough investigation, and even intended to involve the Yushitai and the Criminal Division.
But the Great Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty said: It's just a soldier, just one. When did the country become so solemn because of the death of a soldier? Even three to five thousand are not worth it.
The Imperial City's detectives also suffered many casualties in various places, and the official family was like that. Even the internal servants and supervisors and horsemen who accompanied the army sometimes suffered, and some were framed. The official family was like that.
Therefore, everyone felt that Fu Bi was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Although the court has laws, in fact the laws only exist in the court and are used for refutation. When it comes to the actual place, it depends entirely on the chief officials to govern, and it is human rule.
Not to mention the border states.
There are no border dangers, no rebellions, there should be a lot of money and food, and the punishment and prison matters can be decided arbitrarily. From the evaluation of the civil servants of the country, it can be regarded as a middle grade.
If the number of people increases, the labor distribution goes smoothly, and some water conservancy, farmland repairs, and wasteland reclamation are done, it will be considered a mid-range situation.
As for the laziness of the imperial army and the death of the Xiang army due to shortages, they are not something the court values at all.
Isn’t it just a soldier’s death?
The guard camp is different from other soldiers. Fu Bi thought so, not all the princes in the court thought so.
Now, His Royal Highness the Prince directly leads the camp to set off...
Zhao Zhen arrived at Chui Gong Hall very early in the morning. He was waiting for the princes to come to question him, which was inevitable, and he was also waiting for the courtiers to impeach him, which was also for sure.
After all, Xi'er was a soldier, so he would definitely not be able to get past the eyes of the courtiers by launching an army to investigate the crime with such a big fanfare.
When he came to Chui Gong Hall, he just sat there, not thinking about dealing with other government affairs. He was thinking about how to get through for Xi'er...
Alas, Xi'er's temperament is a little stubborn, and she may be thinking too much.
It was just a soldier who died, so there should be no mention of local officials' disobedience to him. If this trip was fruitless and the soldier died in an accident, I am afraid the court's evaluation of Xi'er would be much lower.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any of my husbands coming over to play...
Who will come? Fu Bi never thought about asking questions. He communicated with His Highness about the training of the guards camp, but now one person died. Not to mention His Highness's heartache, even Fu Bi felt heartbroken, because they were all from the army of the country and the dynasty.
Elite.
He also suggested that the Xifu conduct a thorough investigation, but the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty thought it was not worthy. In this case, it is not worthy for His Highness to mobilize troops and go to the officials to question him.
Fu Bi still needs to save some face.
As for Bao Zheng, he was originally a thrifty person. Now he is the third envoy and has made serious calculations. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's continuous troubles in the past two years have really reduced the court's expenses, including the consumption of nearly 100,000 soldiers.
, just saved.
He is still waiting for the prince to continue and seek his own government in his position. Now that he is the third minister, he does not care about the wishes of the Xifu, let alone the responsibility of Taiwan's remonstrance.
As for Zeng Gongliang, his preference made him have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the escort camp, so he naturally did not want to ruin this friendship.
As for Yushitai, he was busy trying to impeach Song Chu...
They all seem to have excuses. In fact, the copper and iron mines have already seen money...
"My dear friend, look through it to see if there is any memorial to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
If no one comes, we can't just sit there all day, right?
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and simply read the memorial of the ministers impeaching Xi'er.
If your tone is tactful, just keep it in your mouth. If your words are harsh and you are being asked to do it, let it go before Xi'er comes back.
Zhao Zhen knew about his family's affairs. None of the emperors of the Zhao family had lived past the age of sixty. He was already over fifty. This was because Xi'er had given him too many surprises and kept him from getting sick all these years.
As early as the years when Xi'er was born, he had already fallen ill.
In just a few years, he hoped to leave Xi'er with a relatively stable court.
He had taught his son a lot about the way to be an emperor over the years, but he felt that Xi'er listened more and used less. It seemed that his son did not accept his own methods.
Regardless, from a strategic point of view, his son is better than him. Some things in the past few years seem to have nothing to do with the court, but in the end they are all about solving some problems for the court, and the results are remarkable.
He has been tolerant all his life, and for his son, it doesn't matter if he has a bad reputation when he comes.
Zhao Zhen really has a son who is ready for everything.
"The official family has no memorial to impeach His Highness..."
No? How is this possible?
"Look carefully?"
"When I returned to the official house, I looked through them all and found that I had indeed not seen them."
Is it possible? It has been so many years, and the temperament of the official family is known to all the princes in the political hall.
Whether it was to protect His Highness the Crown Prince or to protect those officials, I can't tell. There may be other reasons. Anyway, the impeachment memorial was directly discounted.
The main reason is that there are no important ministers to impeach, they are all newcomers seeking fame.
Zhao Zhen was a little confused and at a loss what to do.
He couldn't see anyone, and he couldn't see any memorials. He couldn't understand the current ministers.
I didn't sleep well all night, and woke up early in the morning. I spent a long time brewing my emotions and preparing various responses. In the end... nothing happened.
Zhao Zhen knew about his son's business of wooing courtiers, didn't he do it before? This would be useful?
He couldn't figure it out, but he even had the intention of calling his brothers-in-law to ask... Let's forget it. It would be better to have one less thing to worry about than to have more to worry about. It would be better if there was nothing, and it would save him the trouble.
Zhao Xi did not share the hardships with the soldiers this time. The imperial court determined the style and level of the carriages, and he did not have to put on a show and share the joys and sorrows, which was inappropriate.
Besides, the show of force he needed this time was not a rapid march. He was also planning to meet the soldiers of the escort battalion who were going out one by one in all the military prefectures he passed.
No reason, just to stand up for them.
For this training of the guard camp, the imperial court focused on the military prefectures in the west and north.
There are one thousand soldiers of the guard camp, in groups of fifty, and they are present in nearly twenty military states.
Zhao Xi went all the way from Hebei West Road and then turned to Hedong Road.
Passing Zezhou, staying at Longde Prefecture, heading north, stopping at Wu Shengjun, and then heading to Taiyuan Prefecture. He could have gone all the way north to Daizhou, but Zhao Xi turned west instead, killing Kelan Army and Ninghua Army.
and transferred.
Zhao Xi did not go further west, which can be regarded as a sign of trust in the Zhe family. If Zhe can do it, the Zhe family must understand...
