"What does the emperor mean by this? Give me a mansion and let me go to Luoyang to choose?" In the Li Mansion, holding the "Edict", Li Jun was stunned. The flesh on Li Jun's face was almost twisted together. It is not solved.
"No, we are at a critical moment now. Doesn't this mean that I will be sent to Luoyang?" A fool will eventually get something, Li Jun thought, but his expression became more and more ugly.
"Dad, I think the emperor has no intention of paying you a handsome position! A mansion in Luoyang is not like a reward, but more like a warning. I hope dad will be careful!" Beside, a green young man frowned at Ning Ning. Li Jundao.
This young man is Li Yun's son, Li Shoujie, who is under sixteen years old. He has an ordinary appearance but a calm temperament, but he is a little timid and fearful in the face of his father.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Jun glared at Li Shoujie.
Li Shoujie bowed his hands and said solemnly: "In the past few days since Mr. He died of illness, my father has been running around in the capital, contacting generals inside and outside, in order to seek the position of commander-in-chief. This matter must have spread to the palace and reached the ears of the emperor, so There is this edict!”
Li Jun raised his eyebrows and said: "You mean, someone is slandering the emperor? Who is it? It must be Luo Yanxuan, that's right. Everyone wants to be the commander-in-chief, so how could he not be tempted... ....”
Seeing his father's reaction, Li Shoujie's immature face flashed with uneasiness, and his tone became a little anxious, and he said: "Dad, what I mean is that your actions in seeking the handsome position are too blatant and your methods are too direct. , this has always been taboo, I'm afraid this will bring disaster to the Li family!"
"Insolent! A child with a yellow mouth, a young boy, what do you know!" Listening to his son's words, which were vaguely meant to teach him a lesson, Li Jun immediately scolded: "What I did was not for the sake of the prominence of the Li family, for the glory of the family, or for the protection of the family. Children and grandchildren, we will bless future generations! How can it be unreasonable to say something like this to a kid like you?"
Facing his irritable father, Li Shoujie subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to face his anger. But Li Jun was angry, but he was not completely unable to listen to Zi Yan. It made sense when he thought about it. However, when he was pointed out a lesson, his face became a little embarrassed.
In his irritable mood, mixed with a little anxiety, he wandered in the room for a while, turned around, and asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"
Li Shoujie was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and noticed that his father's face was still stiff and stubborn, but his eyes were somewhat evasive. Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Shoujie thought for a while and said: "Dad, I have little knowledge and no high opinions. From now on, you can only obey the emperor and the imperial court's orders, and don't seek the position of commander again. You can follow the orders and go to Luoyang , choose a mansion and express your gratitude!"
After hearing what he said, Li Jun took a few breaths, his beard twitched, and sighed: "I didn't expect that today I have to follow your advice."
"Alas!" Li Jun sighed heavily, and said a little less enthusiastic: "But, if it is as you said, it will be difficult for my Li family to be prominent in front of others!"
Seeing Li Yun's melancholy look, Li Shoujie lowered his head and did not dare to say what was in his heart. In his opinion, it would be good if he could keep his wealth and peace after his father's troubles.
...
In the inner city of Kaifeng, there is a house among the noble residences. The plaque on the door reads "King". This is the residence of Wang Yin, the deputy commander of the guard army. However, at this time, the palace was busy. The servants, servants, and family members in the courtyard were all packing their clothes and bags, as if they were going to travel far away.
The preparations were very meticulous, including jewelry, clothing, bedding, even dishes, utensils, and even the insects, birds, flowers and trees that we usually watch. The stewards in the mansion were arranging and urging, and from time to time they were scolding the servants who were not doing things well.
"We're about to leave. We're going to Mozhou. It's a long way to go. Everything needs to be prepared..."
In the Han Palace, Emperor Liu Chengyou was in a bad mood again.
Originally, after Li Jun handed over the memorial of thanks and honestly went to Luoyang to choose a house, he temporarily let the matter go. After discussions with the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, a regulation was finally drawn up for the adjustment of the Hebei border defense army.
On the basis of the original defense line, starting from Suicheng in Yizhou, from west to east, along the Juma River line, the Baoding Army, Shun'an Army, Xiongan Army, Xin'an Army and the Yongqing Army in the north were stationed at various city passes and village entrances. , river defense.
Each army had an army quota of five thousand, and a capital deployment office was set up in Mozhou with eight thousand troops under its jurisdiction. As a result, the original garrison will undergo a new round of reorganization and elimination. Not only will their strength be weakened, there will also be a group of troops that will exchange defenses with the Forbidden Army in Hua, Chan, Yuancheng and other places.
After arriving, Liu Chengyou couldn't resist attacking the Hebei garrison. Even though the supply of logistical equipment was in the hands of the imperial court, Liu Chengyou had previously greatly delegated power to ward off dangers from the north, so he had to worry that the Hebei frontier army would become its own.
Now, although He Fujin is dead, Li Jun's performance is enough to wake him up. This adjustment may have an impact on military morale and combat effectiveness, but as long as it is implemented, it can reassure the emperor and the central government and eliminate major dangers, which is worthwhile.
As long as it is under a reasonable and good system, there is actually no need to worry too much about the combat effectiveness of the army. The soldiers who were eliminated also had several places to go. One was transferred to the soon-to-be-established Hebei Capital Command Department; the other was to supplement the Transportation Department; the third was retired and returned to his hometown; the fourth was turned into auxiliary troops and stationed in the local army.
As for the selection of military envoys, except for Luo Yanxuan who was transferred to the Shunan Army, Ma Quanyi remained in the Yongqing Army, and the rest of the military envoys were selected from the Forbidden Army. The Xiong'an Army envoy was Han Lingkun, and the Xin'an Army was Guo Jin. As for the Baoding Army, although Li Jun's position has not yet been announced, the replacement has actually been decided, and Xingjie Captain Dong Zunzhao will be transferred.
The most important thing is to decide who is in charge of the deployment in the north. After some discussion, it was decided that Wang Yin, the deputy commander of the Guards Department, would go to the north and take office to reorganize the army.
Wang Yin has always been a senior general in the Han Dynasty's imperial army. He experienced many military conflicts in his early years and gained many honors. Of course, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, his greatest achievement was when he defeated Du Chongwei. He fought hard to defeat the city and refused to retreat despite being seriously injured. This was praised by the great ancestor Liu Zhiyuan, thus establishing his position in the army.
After Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, Wang Yin also steadily rose through the ranks of the Forbidden Army. It was not until the fifth year of Emperor Qianyou's reign that Wang Jun clashed with Han Tong in the palace, and he unexpectedly went a step further and became the deputy commander of the Guards Department.
This time, because he went north to command the army, Wang Yin did have merit in terms of qualifications and abilities. However, it was Wang Yin who made Liu Chengyou angry and annoyed at this time.
Because of his high position, he was originally a person of concern to spies. Now that he has moved to the garrison commander, he has become even more of a focus. According to Wu Desi's report, Wang Yin couldn't help being happy when he learned that he was appointed commander-in-chief. He posted a post inviting colleagues, relatives, and friends to hold a banquet to celebrate, which was quite public. He also said bluntly that after so long, it was finally his turn to be Wang Yin. The "lively" scene in his home was also reported to the emperor in detail.
Therefore, when Liu Chengyou heard about it, how could he not be angry or annoyed? Liu Chengyou slammed down a memorial in his hand, knocked over the tea cup, and said angrily: "Is he moving or taking office? I have long heard that the Wang family is extravagant. I remember his old achievements and tolerate it. Now I want to reuse it, so I know. His home is so ostentatious that it makes people laugh. Look, he might as well move the whole mansion to Mozhou!"
"Since you know the joy of promotion, why don't you worry about shouldering heavy responsibilities? With such publicity, do you think you are going to the north to enjoy the blessings? The recommendation is not a person, and I deeply disappoint you! I don't know the person well, and it is also my fault!"
The emperor was angry and the whole palace was silent, although there was no one in the palace. Li Chongju stood there with his body bent and his head down, quietly listening to his venting, while Zhang Dejun carefully cleaned up the imperial case.
Wang Yin's incident made Liu Chengyou couldn't help but reflect on himself. Was he too confident? Are the generals of the Forbidden Army not as respectful as they appear on the surface?
The example of Wang Yin is vividly before our eyes. Obviously, in the past, although Liu Chengyou had a clear discipline and strong law regarding the army, he was still too lenient outside of military law, and some measures should be taken to restrain him. Otherwise, the system of arrogant soldiers will always be just a temporary solution. It's time for old generals like Wang Yin to retire from their positions as generals of the Forbidden Army.
Anger leads to anger, but with Liu Chengyou's temperament, he will not be overwhelmed by anger. He quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and then said: "Pass it to Guo Rong!"
The next day, the emperor issued several edicts. One of them was to remove Wang Yin from his post in the north, remove him from his post in the imperial army, and send envoys to his residence to reprimand him and make him shut up and think about his mistakes.
Second, An Shenqi, the king of Chenliu County, went north to Mozhou and took charge of the northern capital deployment and took charge of the northern imperial equipment.
Third, Li Chuyun and Pan Mei were ordered by the Privy Council to go north and serve as training envoys, responsible for the reorganization and training of Hebei's garrison and defense armies.
Fourth, the troops were sent back north, bringing with them gold, silver, money, silk, and silk.
