After seeing Yan Shouqin off, Shen Kuo looked at the ministers in front of him.
Each one was asked their name and age.
Unexpectedly, Shen Kuo saw a familiar person.
"Captain Tong?" Shen Kuo smiled.
"Don't dare!" Tong Guan immediately bowed: "In front of the promotion, I dare to call myself Taiwei..."
He is just a junior member of the Yellow Clan now, belonging to the lowest rank among ministers.
Although the ministers also have the method of grinding, every minister knows that if they really rely on grinding to get promoted, it is basically impossible to climb to the rank of ambassador until the age of eighty.
Therefore, for the ministers, there is actually only one way - to make meritorious deeds! Make meritorious service! Still meritorious service!
Shen Kuo smiled, looked at the others, and then said: "The officials have ordered you to specialize in manufacturing weapons bureaus. You will definitely be of great use in the future..."
Everyone smiles.
"However, I have a scandal ahead of me..." Shen Kuo also knew what was wrong with his ministers: "If someone in the Ordnance Bureau commits fraud out of greed for merit, or is jealous of talented people and frames a master craftsman..."
"In front of officials, I will definitely impeach..."
"Wei!" Everyone lowered their heads.
Shen Kuo put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's do this for today!"
"When I arrive at the Ordnance Bureau's office tomorrow, I will assign errands to you all!"
…
Xinhai (19th) in May of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
After Zhao Xu woke up, he had just finished washing and had not had time to have breakfast.
Empress Dowager Xiang came to the Funing Hall. She was holding two side reports that had just been transcribed and the ink was not even dry yet.
"Let's take a look at it, officials..." Queen Mother Xiang handed it to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu took it and looked at the contents. One was from Lu Huiqing and the other was from Zhe Kexing.
Lu Huiqing's memorial was very simple. He only said: His majesty, the Ming Dynasty's Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, have repulsed the invading bandit army, beheaded more than a thousand people, captured more than 2,000 people, and captured over 10,000 cattle, horses and livestock.
Zhe Kexing's memorial has completely added fuel to the fire.
He reported in detail how Lu Huiqing instructed him to send scouts to investigate into the territory of the Western Bandits, how to detect the movements of the Western Bandits, and how Lu Huiqing laid out the battle plan.
He even pointed out in his memorial: If Zhang Zhi's admonition failed to come to an end on Yanyan Road, Master Wang might have gathered together to annihilate the Western thieves at Jialu Village!
Then he expressed heartbrokenly: His Majesty the Emperor was wise and wise. He had known the thief's intentions and commanded by imperial decree. He laid a huge net in Jialu Village. However, the road to Yanyan was delayed and the work was failed. I am really heartbroken! "
After Zhao Xu finished reading, he put down the memorial, took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: "Mother, if the Western thief escaped, just run away!"
Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's little face in front of her, pretending to be happy but not pretending to be anything like it. She immediately felt distressed. She hugged Zhao Xu and said, "Sixth Brother Shenwu Ruizhi, the imperial edict personally teaches the commander-in-chief military affairs." event……"
"This could have been a great victory, which would have shocked the foreign barbarians at home and abroad! It will also make the states and counties all over the world know the power of Sixth Brother!"
"But he was blocked by a traitor!"
"Sixth brother, don't worry, my mother will never make things easy for that traitorous minister!"
These days, every time Queen Mother Xiang thinks of this time, her heart aches!
Today, after the side reports of Lu Huiqing and Zhe Kexing came to Beijing, her heartache and regret reached the extreme!
Think about it if Zhang Zhijian had not resisted the imperial edict and refused Lu Huiqing's military order.
According to Lu Huiqing's deployment reported by Zhe Kexing.
Use Jialu Village to attract the Western thieves and let them enter the enemy's army and fortify the city.
Then the armies from Fuyan Road and Hedong Road moved in from east to west, outflanking the rebel army's retreat and setting up numerous ambushes!
In this way, none of the Western thieves can escape!
Sixth Brother has been on the throne for more than two months, and he can use the imperial edict to command a great victory!
It is certain that the four barbarians will be shocked.
Deterrence at home and abroad is also inevitable.
Everyone in the world will also admire it!
Now it's all ruined! Destroyed by a traitor for his own selfishness!
Queen Mother Xiang is not stupid, she has checked it out.
That Zhang Zhijian was still in Hedong in March. He was impeached by Lu Huiqing because he opposed Lu Huiqing's implementation of Emperor Daxing's "policy of disturbing farming", so he was demoted to the military governor of Yanyan Road.
Obviously, this was not an ordinary act of disobedience, but a deliberate act.
But the question is, how could a military minister have the courage to resist the orders of a civilian minister?
In other words, who gave him the courage?
Queen Mother Xiang is very curious now!
Zhao Xu gently snuggled into Queen Mother Xiang's arms and said softly: "Don't be angry, Queen Mother, it's not worth it!"
"It's okay..."
"It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth doing this to my mother!"
Queen Mother Xiang looked at the sensible and filial child in her arms, gently stroked his head, and said: "The Queen Mother is not angry... The Queen Mother is not angry..."
However, her face had completely given her away.
…
In Yanzhou, Yanyan Road was planned to appease the envoy stationed there.
The morning fog had just dissipated, and Liu Changzuo, already livid, led his troops straight into the official residence of the economic pacifier.
"What are you doing?" Several officers and soldiers who were napping heard the noise outside the door and were about to reprimand him.
Then they saw a large number of armored Western troops and directly knocked open the door.
Liu Changzuo, dressed in battle armor, walked in surrounded by his personal guards.
"Lieutenant Guanjun..."
After being appeased by the plan, the soldiers of the Si Yamen and the officials who came out after hearing the news lowered their heads and dropped their weapons.
Zhang Zhijian, who had just woken up from his sleep, hurriedly came out of the official office and was shocked when he saw the scene in the yard.
He looked at Liu Changzuo, who was wearing armor and was full of anger. He quickly put on a smile and was about to step forward to say something, but several large axes were already placed on his neck.
"Commander!" Zhang Zhijian was frightened and immediately screamed and asked, "Why?"
He is the military commander of Yanyan Road!
At the same time, he is also a seventh-level envoy of the Imperial City who leads the Fangzhou regiment training envoy!
How many remote counties did the country have?
Xining was only twenty before, but now he is only fifty!
Yaojun is under control among the military ministers. Without an imperial edict, even the civil ministers and prime ministers can easily do nothing!
What's more, Liu Changzuo is also a military commander!
Liu Changzuo took out a gold medal from his waist and took a look at Zhang Zhijian.
Gifted by the Emperor, a symbol of imperial power!
"Zhang Zhijian, you are so brave!" Liu Changzuo suppressed the anger in his heart.
"The Merciful Saints of the Two Palaces, the Young Master issued an order to Marshal Lu of Hedong to patrol the border. How dare you resist and disrespect the order!"
"The bandits from the west were not even heard of when they invaded, which made the young master's command fail!"
"You are guilty of a great crime!"
"Take it!"
The guards on the left and right came forward, each kicked Zhang Zhijian roughly to the ground, and held him down.
Then, someone came up with heavy shackles and put them around Zhang Zhijian's neck without any explanation.
Zhang Zhijian struggled desperately and shouted on the ground: "Guan Jun! Guan Jun! The general has been wronged! He has been wronged!"
"Why did Lu Jifu tell Yu, the last general, that there was an edict from the young master?"
Lu Huiqing has an edict from the emperor?
This incident made Zhang Zhijian feel like he was struck by lightning.
"Guan Jun... Guan Jun..." Zhang Zhijian was still wailing.
Liu Changzuo shook his head and ordered: "Stop this thief general's mouth and keep him in safe custody. Don't let him make any mistakes!"
He looked at Zhang Zhijian's face and wished he could kill this bastard with a knife!
Lu Huiqing was the economic envoy to Hedong, and Emperor Daxing also asked him to serve as the pacification envoy to Yanyan Road.
They already have the right to command the Yanyan Road.
Even if not, Lu Huiqing, as a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace and an economic envoy to Hedong, ordered him, the magistrate of Yanzhou, to mobilize troops, and he would not dare to disobey!
What are you admonishing?
Dare you disobey the commander-in-chief's orders? !
It’s simply courting death!
He just wants to die! Liu Changzuo was worried that he would be harmed by this bastard!
Now, it’s time to poke a hornet’s nest!
Last night, the order sent by the envoy from Bianjing only asked him to order Zhang Zhijian to enter the capital.
This morning, the imperial edict became particularly strict, and the text directly used the word "thief general".
The information revealed in the decree made Liu Changzuo terrified!
The young master personally surrendered the command and ordered Lu Huiqing to patrol the border to guard against the intrusion of Western bandits.
Lu Huiqing obeyed the order obediently.
You, a military official, dare to disobey me?
It’s okay to disobey orders, but the Western thieves really raised their troops and invaded! Moreover, the place where the invaders entered was Jialu Village in the jurisdiction of Yanyan Road!
Who can you argue with?
Liu Changzuo felt that he was really unlucky!
The five-pronged expedition against Xia was carried out well. He took the lead and led his troops to defeat the interceptions of many Western bandit armies and generals. The army all rushed into Lingzhou City.
Gao Zunyu gave an order, and he could only withdraw his troops obediently.
result……
Ren Duo dug the Yellow River alone...
With great difficulty, he finally got over the defeat of Lingzhou City. With his hard work, he climbed to the position of commander of the four compartments of the Divine Guard and Dragon Guard and the governor of Changzhou by relying on his hard work. He became one of the few full-time military ministers in the dynasty. Yanzhou is known to military officials.
During his lifetime, he was worshiped as a Jiedushi envoy and granted the title of Duke, finally having hope.
Well, another thunderstorm from the sky!
In Yanzhou City, at the Military and Horse Supervisor on Yanzhou Road, there was an incident of disobedience and disrespect, and the person was disobeying the life of the young master who had just ascended the throne!
Liu Changzuo came from a family of generals.
He was very aware of Bian Jing's sensitivity.
Maybe, in the eyes of the two palaces, he, Guan Jun, might be labeled as 'untrustworthy'.
It is probably a luxury to think about leading an army in battle in the future!
The more Liu Changzuo thought about it, the angrier he became!
Finally, he came up in person and kicked Zhang Zhijian, who had been gagged and shackled: "You bastard!"
"How many people are going to be implicated by you?"
From him down, all the generals on the Yanyan Road must now figure out how to express their loyalty to Bianjing.
The one who is not good is considered by the young master to be a member of Zhang Zhijian's party, or is suspected to be closely related to Zhang Zhijian.
Don’t even think about getting ahead in this life!
Liu Changzuo heard that the young master has a very good memory and is very good at holding grudges.
"You still won't be detained?"
"Wait for the angel to arrive and escort the capital master!"
"During this period, the thief general Zhang Zhi is admonishing him, but if there is the slightest mistake, I will ask if I will take the heads of Er and others!"
"Promise!" The generals agreed loudly.
Liu Changzuo turned his head to look at the civil servants and military officers who were already dumbfounded, and scolded them: "What are you still doing standing around?"
"Think carefully about how to defend yourself!"
There is a problem in the military and horse supervision, and the people under him are the first to bear the brunt. Everyone has to go in front of the censor. If you can't pass the test, don't expect to have any chance to stand out in this life!
Everyone woke up with a start, and then they were like ants on a hot pot, anxious.
Note: Continuation of the long article of Zizhi Tongjian, April Yiyou article: Liu Changzuo, the commander of the four compartments of the Longshen Guard, the governor of Changzhou, and the governor of Yanzhou, entered the palace to serve. It can be seen that Liu Changzuo was on Yanyan Road at this time, and he would not return to Bianjing until Zhao Xi took office in Yanzhou in June.
PS: Today, the author's Taishan fell down in a community in Guangxi and had to be hospitalized... So, I asked for a video for a long time, which delayed the coding!
There will be a third update later, and the monthly ticket can only make up for it tomorrow.
