Zhang Jun was frightened, Feng Yi was frightened, and Zhao Guanjia's face was as paralyzed as usual.
But soon, Zhang Deyuan returned to the posture that an elite scholar-official should have. He straightened up and faced each other solemnly: "In the official family, I am the censor Zhongcheng. How could I not understand the ancestral family law and hand over the eunuch secretly? As for Han Shizhong,
Although I have had some contact with him recently, he never reported anything to me yesterday. But today, an attendant of Han Shizhong came to tell me some messy things... If the officials didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know about him last night.
I came here and even persuaded the officials to change their minds!"
"Deyuan." Zhao Jiu frowned slightly in the audience. "To be honest, I don't believe you would go so far as to communicate with the chamberlain. As for your close association with Han Shizhong, I deliberately indulged it, and even personally hinted at it. The reason why
This is because Han Shizhong has a naughty character, and many of our military officials in the court have ended badly, so I hope you can protect him in the court... But you must know that yesterday you took the initiative to promote the war according to my wishes, but today you are not.
You changed your normal behavior and advised me not to fight; and when did you have the ability to have such a proper consideration of military matters?"
Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the official used "I" instead of "I". After hearing the end, he realized that it was just a misunderstanding and felt relieved. He only thought that he was still an "ignorant soldier" in the official family.
', but a little helpless.
Of course, at this point, he had no choice but to dodge, so he leaned over and said, "I wonder if the officials know the allusion to Ma Zhou during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhao Jiu didn't answer at a loss.
Zhang Jun couldn't help but coughed in embarrassment, and then said euphemistically: "In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong had a minister named Chang He. Chang He was a rude general and had no writing. But suddenly, for a while, this person's memorial
All the more than 20 articles were crucial. Taizong was surprised and asked him directly why. Chang He told Taizong directly that the memorial was written by his disciple Ma Zhou... At this time, Ma Zhou was thirty years old, and he was detained at that time.
He went to the province for consultation and was promoted three times within a year. In the end, he became a minister of the late Emperor Taizong."
Zhao Jiu's political and historical level once again understood clearly: "Deyuan is saying... is there someone teaching you from behind?"
"Liu Kai, the former great scholar of Guanwen Palace, died in Jingkang, and his eldest son Liu Ziyu returned home with his support. He has just returned and is living with me. These words were originally spoken by me when I discussed with him after he returned." Zhang Jun finally said.
The bottom line is clear. "Liu Kai was mostly a commander during his lifetime. He was a transshipment envoy to Shaanxi as early as Zhezong's time. Later, he made great achievements in the fight against the Jin Dynasty. However, Liu Ziyu followed his father in the tent since he was a child, and he was quite knowledgeable about the military in his early years.
Name. It is said that since he was a child, he would shoot more than a hundred arrows into the square every morning like officials do every evening, so he is not an ordinary civil servant..."
Let’s say that when Zhao Guan’s family heard this name and this narration, they felt a little like reading a bad time-travel novel. He was born in a government office, had a civil service status, knew military affairs, and repaid the hatred of his country’s enemies and his family… The key was that the name was too dramatic!
However, as Zhang Jun continued to narrate, Zhao Guanjia gradually became relieved and realized that this was a living historical figure... For example, the person named Liu Ziyu did appear in the drama, but that was the fault of a group of street writers later.
As for my family, I have two younger brothers, one named Liu Zihui and the other Liu Ziyi. Doesn’t this sound reasonable?
Moreover, after the experience of his father Liu Kai was hinted by Zhang Jun, Zhao Jiu also realized that, like the old Taiwei Yang Weizhong who had not yet arrived, he was one of the resurgent people from the Zhe Zong Dynasty who came from the northwest, so in
The Huizong Dynasty has always been on the fringes and has never been able to become the mainstream. This is a footnote to Liu Ziyu's young military career.
However, Zhao Guanjia still maintains a certain degree of rationality... because after yesterday's incident, he has maintained a certain degree of vigilance towards all armchair strategists, including himself. Who knows if this Liu Ziyu just happened to get it wrong? And this person's name
It's so special. If you really do something in this era, there's no reason why the Zhao Guan family can't remember it?
Of course, no matter what, this is the time to employ people, and such a talent, even if it is just on paper, can be used as a staff advisor.
After all, as the saying goes: Two Zhao Kuo are worth one Zhuge Liang. If we all work together more, we can at least improve our fault tolerance, right?
Ever since, after thinking about this, Zhao Jiufu responded seriously: "Why didn't you recommend such a person? You have recommended so many people before, and I have appointed them all..."
"Officials." Zhang Jun became more and more helpless. "Liu Ziyu is the person who was recorded in the notebook the day before Hu Yin's impeachment. How dare he act against the odds?"
Zhao Jiu suddenly understood, but asked the other party to quickly go back and bring Liu Ziyu, and then asked Feng Yi, who was kneeling there, to get up... In fact, he wanted to deal with the latter yesterday, because the performance of this chamberlain was too similar to those in traditional dramas.
The so-called flattering gesture of an eunuch, but when he really wanted to deal with it, he couldn't find a suitable reason. Even because he couldn't find a suitable place to put him on the road, he had to put it aside for the time being and treat Liu Ziyu with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun left as quickly as he came, and he brought Liu Ziyu with him in a moment.
After the two parties had finished the ceremony, Zhao Guan's family gave him a seat. He looked around casually and saw that this man was dignified in appearance and tall. He was sitting there with his back upright and his awe-inspiring demeanor... If Yang Yizhong is a natural military commander's appearance model,
Then this person is a typical handsome minister... Of course, the Zhao Guan family is even more suspicious of this.
It should be noted that how can there be such a perfect person? If he really looks like Yan Xiaozhong and Yan Zhizhou, it is impossible for the Zhao Guan family to believe him.
However, these are all off-topic remarks, and they are also Zhao Jiu's selfish and chaotic thoughts. In the final analysis, they still have to be asked face to face.
However, when Zhao Guanjia opened his mouth, he didn't know where to ask, so he turned to Zhang Jun and asked casually: "How did Deyuan (Zhang Jun) come back so fast?"
"Good instructor, you know." Zhang Jun was already upset at this time, so he naturally answered casually. "As soon as I left the official residence, I met Liu Yanxiu (characterized by Liu Ziyu) on the street. He also heard the news, and he was
I'm going to find Mr. Lu and prepare to recruit peripheral rebels..."
Zhao Jiu became more and more uneasy after hearing this... You must know that this decision was made deliberately by him. It was a military emergency. In order to seize the city, he had to gamble with the lives of these ministers. He even sent Han Shizhong to leave overnight just for this matter.
...Because if something happened and the news spread that Han Shizhong came to see him overnight, the civil servants in the line were afraid that they would vent their anger on Han Liangchen.
But back to the present, when Liu Ziyu did this at this time, he was either a fool who did not understand his own thoughts, or he was loyal but knew the danger, which inevitably made it even more illusory.
On the other side, Liu Ziyu was sitting on one side of the back hall of Ruyang Mansion. After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to speak: "I dare to ask the officials if they are worried about recruiting rebels and seizing the cities in the northeast of Nanyang.
, will there be repetitions?”
Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, feeling that it was better not to take the risk of lying to such a person, so he slowly shook his head: "I am worried that the so-called rebels and bandits in different places have different positions. Among the many people who went there today, it may not be completely smooth, and some may even be affected by it.
It is possible to lose one's life, so I feel quite guilty."
After hearing this, Liu Ziyu immediately stood up and clasped his hands and said: "Guanren Rennian, but now that our army is weak in field battles, if we want to compete with the Jin cavalry, we can't do it unless we occupy the city quickly. Moreover, at this time, the country is in trouble.
The Central Plains is in chaos, where can people not die? A minister should not be afraid of danger... Moreover, from my point of view, the official's move is really clever, and there is not much danger!"
Zhao Jiu didn't say anything. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied or didn't want to comment, or he was simply waiting for the other party to explain.
However, fortunately, Zhang Jun was here. Following Zhang Xiantai's slight gesture, Liu Ziyu immediately understood and then took the initiative to explain:
"Officials, in my opinion, there is really not much risk in recruiting rebels from various places at this time. There are three reasons. First, Han Taiwei and the deputy commander Wang Deyin have a total of 40,000 to 50,000 people outside, which is enough to scare them.
Secondly, the officials have underestimated the significance of the emperor and Xing Zai. There are officials stationed in Runan and personally sending courtiers to appease the chaotic people of that generation, unless they really have the ambition to shake the world.
Who would not recognize the words of the officials? This is the benevolence of the officials; thirdly, at this point, if there are really repeaters or big thieves, they should have paid money or become self-reliant long ago. If they did not pay money or
Those who are self-reliant can only go with the flow at this time, this is the trend.”
This makes sense. Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, but he was not too excited.
To put it bluntly, the person in front of him is not Han Shizhong, and he cannot be completely trusted by Zhao Guanjia. Moreover, after yesterday's introspection, Zhao Guanjia can't help but have some doubts about his "mighty virtue", or in other words, he himself must not take this mighty virtue for granted.
thing.
It should be noted that since ancient times, which independent man did not think that he was still full of might and virtue before death?
Two or three years before the Jingkang Disgrace, didn’t Song Huizong, one of the two sages, return to Fengheng Yuda?
The results of it?
Liu Ziyu's eloquent talk did not elicit much reaction from Zhao Guan's family, and he himself was not discouraged yet. Zhang Jun over there was a little anxious, so he took advantage of the situation and added something in the middle: "As Yanxiu said,
Won't Liu Guangshi and Ding Jin be shocked by these people? I've been worried about this for a long time."
"I don't think so." Liu Yanxiu still maintained a high-spirited attitude, but turned to Zhao Guan's family and continued to talk. "The officials...please think about it, who is Liu Guangshi? This person has been a general for generations, and he was the official after he ascended the throne.
The first person to establish a festival in the army, he can be called the leader of the military. Who is Ding Jin? He has tens of thousands of troops, and he has even blocked the march. He is completely ambitious. People like them have ended up like this, let alone
It is his own fault, which has aroused people's shock and vigilance. At this moment, Fan Qiong is just one person! And now those people in the west of Beijing who have thousands or hundreds of soldiers, how can they compare with these two people? How can they compare with these two people?
The two of them share the same feelings? How could they not trust the officials because of this matter?"
Zhao Jiu now felt something interesting: "What on earth is going on with these people in Jingxi?"
"This is exactly what I want to say." Liu Ziyu bowed his head in response. "Guan family, the west of Beijing seems to be in chaos right now. There are soldiers and horses everywhere, and everyone is fighting with each other. It's like the Warring States Period, but in fact it's broken down into details.
There are almost four types of people... One is the people who surrendered the gold, following the Jin people's actions and plundering. Nowadays, they are mostly in Tangzhou and Dengzhou, operating next to the main force of the Jin people; the other is the people who serve the country loyally and are originally officials.
, and abide by their duties wholeheartedly, needless to say. The real distinction lies in the latter two categories, which are the so-called two different types of people among the chaos that the officials are recruiting this time, and I call them guests and guests!"
Hearing this, Zhao Jiu was finally moved, but he suddenly understood as if he was enlightened!
By the way, Zhao Guan's family still doesn't know how to combine theory with practice... When he heard the report before, he just thought that Jingxi was really in chaos, plus the thieves he encountered before, Zhong Ding, the powerful person in this place gave him the impression
It was so profound that the Zhao Guan family always thought that the situation in the west of Beijing would be similar, and countless people had become ambitious and no longer took the Song Dynasty court seriously.
But it's not.
Combining the previous intelligence and the current reminder from Liu Ziyu, Zhao Jiu still didn't understand that the chaos in the west of Beijing was just a natural situation in the war. The reason why it looked scary was because it involved a dispute between host and guest.
In the war in the north, a large number of refugees and defeated troops went south, but there was no food supply. Naturally, they had to rely on their short-term manpower and combat advantages to plunder. Then the locals were naturally unwilling to be eaten. In addition, at this time, the Jin people happened to be in trouble again.
Once the plow is done, the officials will be emptied, and there will be no officials to organize and coordinate the conflicts between the two sides. Then there will inevitably be local powerful people who rise up and organize troops. No matter who they are, they will take precautions!
To put it bluntly, the reason why everyone seems to be a lawless person and everyone is at war with each other is because there is a fierce conflict between the host and the guest over the means of production necessary for survival. At this time, let’s take the positions of the Song and Jin countries.
, it would be unfair to judge based on ambition or not.
As for who is right and who is wrong on both sides... From the moral sense of ordinary people, of course, they will feel that it is the refugees from the north and the defeated soldiers who did something random, which is the fault of these guests. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhai Chong, Zhai
Xing, Zhai Jin, and even Niu Gao, these forces that seem to be the most credible at present are still local forces, and those who have ambitions to cause chaos are actually mostly from Tokyo and the defeated troops of the Western Army. They have
I had a knife right away.
But in fact, everyone is essentially just looking for a way to survive, and the only ones who are wrong are the Second Saint and the Golden Man! However, only the Zhao Guan family may dare to say this truth. Those who use their lives to pay for the mistake of the Second Saint may not be able to do this.
Awakening, even if Zhao Jiu speaks in person, he can only say a few words in the industry. To really publish it, he still has to stop at the Jin people for the time being and call on everyone to speak to the outside world.
Therefore, at this time, the Zhao Guan family came forward to appease them. They seemed to have different personalities and different behavior styles, but fundamentally there was no reason to refuse.
Especially under the pressure of the official power of Song and Jin, no one in western Beijing has the power of Ding Jin to become a third party to sway... There is a drama bandit in Luoyang of western Beijing, called Yang Jin.
, but it was also officially reduced to gold, and was used by the Jin people to encircle and suppress Erzhai.
All in all, Liu Ziyu's words made Zhao Guanjiache believe that this person had some ability, and he gradually relaxed... If so, as long as the recruitment goes smoothly and Han Shizhong can advance quickly, the Wanyan Silver Technique can only be
A false alarm.
At this thought, Zhao Guanjia frowned slightly, and regardless of the other party still talking, he said directly: "Liu Qing, I see that your conversational skills are extraordinary, and you are a loyal and good man, and you are a man who understands military affairs. Why don't you come to the Ministry of War for negotiation?"
Staff sexton…”
"Official!" Zhang Jun suddenly interrupted Zhao Jiu, and even Liu Ziyu suddenly bowed down.
"What?" Zhao Jiu was puzzled for a moment.
"Liu Yanxiu is already a fifth-grade civil servant who has resigned... Normally, he can't go out directly to know the state, so the dispatch seems a bit light." Zhang Jun reminded carefully. "If the official family wants to keep him as a military adviser, why not add another one?
A higher but leisurely assignment?"
Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake again, so he followed the good example and gave the other party some kind of mission from the Imperial College, and that was the end of it.
In this way, Zhao Jiu was enlightened by this Liu Ziyu, and he became less worried about the future of Jingxi. Then he asked Feng Yi to take Liu Ziyu to collect some rewards, and talked a few words with Zhang Jun in private, and finally
Let Feng Yi send the two of them away.
Not to mention how Zhao Guan's family went to catch up on their sleep, they only said that Zhang and Liu came out of the Ruyang Mansion Office, turned to the street outside, and then rode side by side under the bright morning sun. Liu Ziyu finally couldn't help but ask.
: "Why didn't Xiantai just let the subordinates invite themselves to go out to recruit people? As a military adviser to the official family, I am certainly a close minister, but I really don't want to be limited to the central government."
"Because the most rare place in the world right now is the official residence." Zhang Jun sighed.
Liu Ziyu opened his mouth to speak, but did not speak, as if he was still a little unconvinced.
"Yan Xiu, do you know what the official said to me just now when you and Feng Yi went out to receive the reward?" Upon seeing this, Zhang Jun could only rein in his horse and ask.
"How can I know?"
"He asked me how to expel the innocent Feng Yi!" Zhang Jun sighed. "And I asked the officials why they wanted to expel the innocent Feng Yi, but the officials said that Feng Yi was serving him too well... In this national crisis,
Sometimes, he is afraid that he will enjoy it too much!"
ps: Thanks to Little Flying Carpet Fungus for the reward... I'll say it again. Although I have a homely personality, in this situation, I am still getting more and more decadent and impatient... Am I the only one?
No matter what, I hope everyone can stabilize their mentality, wash their hands more often, keep a good sleep, and they will definitely get through it.
