"Zijin goes to great lengths to serve the country!"
Regarding Zheng Pu's initiative to ask for orders, the Prime Minister relaxed his eyebrows and raised his hands in praise. He also said with relief before, "It was just a temporary thought of mine to say that Shao will be the Qiang to send troops. Whether it succeeds or not, Zijin does not need to care too much."
After saying this, he seemed to have thought about something, so he smiled again and asked, "Has Gongyuan ever informed Zijin about his invitation to go to Hexi to serve as a garrison?"
"Return to the Prime Minister and ask for it."
Talking about Fu Qian, Zheng Pu smiled again and said with emotion, "I don't think that the stubborn boy in the past can now fight for the country's labor!" After a pause, he said kindly, "Prime Minister,
Although Gongyuan has a stubborn temperament, he is very diligent in his work. He often travels with me in the army as a young man, and he is very familiar with the military affairs. Now that he has invited himself to join the army, Pu has the audacity to intercede for him and also invites the prime minister.
Allow him to do what he wants."
"After Gongyuan is so loyal, how can I refuse to accept it?"
Smiling and waving his hands, the Prime Minister also followed Zheng Pu's words and made a joke, "However, since Zijin spoke so kindly, I will write it down. If Gongyuan is at a loss in the future, I will use this to punish him."
Yu Zijin! Hahaha~~~~"
It was very rare that the Prime Minister smiled happily.
He also turned his head sideways and looked out the window, with traces of longing in his eyes.
It has been ten or twelve years since Baidi City was entrusted with the task. In the past, after the Battle of Yiling, the young generals and talents in the imperial court were almost exhausted. But now, juniors such as Fu Qian can serve the country.
Such a contrast, how could it not make the Prime Minister feel more relaxed and happy!
At least, at this time, the Prime Minister suddenly felt that his twelve years of sorrow and dedication were not in vain, and God's will was not less than his.
That's it.
If I can witness the day when Guanzhong is restored and the old capital is restored, I will die without regret!
The Prime Minister, who was smiling and thinking to himself, became increasingly confused.
But for some unknown reason, the Prime Minister suddenly frowned, lowered his head and closed his eyes, gently rubbing the root of his nose.
He also rubbed the tired look out of the wrinkles on his face.
Perhaps, it was at this moment that people discovered that the prime minister, who had always shown himself to be in good spirits and calm and calm in every situation, not only had his hair become whiter and thinner, but also had ravines all over his face.
Versatile.
Seeing Zheng Pu, who was laughing heartily at the same time, he couldn't help but also put away his smile and frowned in thought.
This also caused the room where Yan Yan had been smiling just now to fall into deathly silence for a moment.
He could roughly guess why the Prime Minister's face turned down for a moment - if nothing unexpected happened, it must have been because he was thinking about Yang Yi's trance.
It’s incredible to say.
Yang Yi today is so similar to Liao Li in the past!
They were both highly talented, equally favored by the prime minister, and became the mainstay of the Han Dynasty. However, they were also guilty of being arrogant and obsessed with fame and position, which made them stupid.
I do not know how long it has been.
The Prime Minister opened his eyes again, tapped the case lightly to attract Zheng Pu's attention, and then spoke slowly.
"I have been thinking by myself these days, and I deeply feel that the imperial court has too few talents, so I plan to go to the emperor to abolish the place of Liangzhou because Liangzhou has been restored, and return all counties and counties to the system of the former Han Dynasty, in the hope that it can be evened out.
There are a few assistants on duty. The governor of Liangzhou, Xiang Juda, is highly respected, and I want to transfer him to the prime minister's office as a middle-level military advisor to coordinate all the affairs of the Longyou branch. But now that Longyou and Hexi have been conquering for many years, many affairs are complicated, and Juda has been
He is already very old, and his energy is limited and short for military warfare. Therefore, Zijin will give me some examples of people who can assist Juda."
After finishing his words, the Prime Minister paused and smiled suddenly.
"The Emperor wrote a letter some time ago and said that when Zijin promoted Wang Boyuan, he said, 'Don't avoid enemies when doing external things, and don't avoid children when doing things internally.' Now Zijin doesn't need to be taboo about other things, but he only wants to benefit the country! Like you
If my brother Zheng Ziyan can do anything for the military, I will also do it."
Well.
Is this move intended to demote Yang Yi to a local post?
Or should we first reduce his authority and wait to see if his behavior and character have improved before appointing him?
After Zheng Pu heard this, such thoughts came to mind. Because Xiang Lang was recruited into the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and the powers he was given were exactly what Yang Yi is now in charge of.
But looking back, I couldn't help but admire the Prime Minister's arrangement.
Because of his qualifications and virtue, Xiang Lang is much higher than Yang Yi.
Asking him to take his place, Yang Yi could not vent her dissatisfaction no matter how dissatisfied she felt.
"Returning to the Prime Minister, brother Pu has been studying under Zizhi Gong since he was a child. He has never liked military warfare, so even if Pu had the intention to do so, he would not dare to do so."
After pondering for a while, Zheng Pufang returned with a smile, "However, the military struggle between Kezuo and Xiangshi is short, so Pu thought that there was one person who could do the job. Moreover, when Pu previously sat down with him when he returned to Chengdu, he felt deeply that his current position in Shu was a waste of talent.
also!"
There is actually a great talent in Shu who has left behind an evil spirit!
Suddenly, the Prime Minister's eyes burned and he asked urgently, "Oh, I wonder who Zijin is talking about?"
"Prime Minister, this is Brother Youchang."
It turns out to be Ma Su~~~
After hearing this, the Prime Minister nodded slightly, then wiped his head and fell into his thoughts.
If we only talk about military strategy rather than military conquests, Ma Di is naturally talented and capable, and is even the best candidate for the Han Dynasty today.
After all, everyone with Ruoma Su's talents and knowledge is in charge of the army.
In other words, if he had not been eager for success and rushed into the army, and he would have done his duty due to the Prime Minister's superiority to him and his position as the head of the Prime Minister's staff, how could Yang Yi seek power today!
"In the past few years when you have been working in this place, you have changed your past mistakes of exaggerating."
The prime minister, who had been silent for a while, spoke up and said, "It's just that now he is engaged in the governance of Yizhou and stays at the rear with Gongyan. His responsibilities are also very important. If he is transferred to Longyou, I am afraid that Gongyan will be unable to support him alone."
"Shu Pu cannot agree with what the Prime Minister said."
Zheng Pu, who had been drafting the manuscript in secret, immediately refuted it, "Why is there such a thing as unrest in the land of Bashu today?"
"Heh~~~"
Involuntarily, the Prime Minister smiled as if it were true.
He had long been accustomed to Zheng Pu's strong temperament.
But if you think about it carefully, you have to admit that what Zheng Pu said is absolutely true.
After Hanzhong County implemented the policy of allocating people into acres and the court frequently recruited military households, and used the benefits of the Silk Road to attract Bashu wealthy families to divide their households into Longyou and Liangzhou, the Bashu land has become much more peaceful. Those who have no property are given land to the knights.
The profligate children were recruited with military exploits, and the wealthy families were divided with profits. This also eliminated many factors that caused unrest in counties and counties.
People don’t suffer from poverty and inequality.
And now, although Yizhou is still exhausted and the imperial government is stretched thin, it has not imposed excessive levies, so why should it be said that it is restless?
With Jiang Wan's ability and the emperor's personal control, it would not be a problem if Ma Su was not in office.
Besides, Li Yan is still in Chengdu!
Although he moved to the left as a sinecure, Emperor Liu Chan often consulted him on matters.
The reason why the Prime Minister made excuses to reject Zheng Pu's suggestion was that he had placed too high hopes on Ma Su and was deeply disappointed.
Therefore, Zheng Pu, who was generally understanding, added with some sadness, "Prime Minister, Brother Youchang is now in his forties."
