Jiang Cheng knew that his favorite disciple, Shen Hao, was a good practitioner who had been buried in the past. He was a rare "late bloomer" talent, and because of his good luck, he had an epiphany and his potential would increase in the future, and he was even commanded to use it early. The adults favored him for secret protection.
But Jiang Cheng never thought that Shen Hao's cultivation talent would be so outrageous after awakening.
In the past few months, it was just a small realm. In the past three years, I had to climb from the middle realm of Qi refining to the lower realm of gathering gods. This has shocked people's eyes. I didn't expect that it was not over yet. This time, I only used it. Breaking through from the seventh level of the God Gathering Realm to the eighth level in just one month! And it's not the kind of hard-to-reach heights that rely on pills, but a solid natural breakthrough...
Like most people who heard the news, Jiang Cheng's thought was: When did spiritual practice become so simple?
"Sir, Shen Hao has returned to Fengri City since he put down the "Qin Xiuyuan Murder Case". Recently, he has only had normal paperwork and has not been to the Zhenfushi Yamen, so his subordinates are not aware of his improvement in practice these days. "Jiang Cheng collected the copper bars and returned them in a polite manner. He was very happy with his disciple's improvement in cultivation, but he was also unsure of Pang Ban's intention in calling him here today.
"Have you fully understood what I told you before?"
"I told him once. He didn't say it clearly, but he probably knew what it meant. It was just that the time was vague, and it was roughly set after the situation in the south became clear."
Pang Ban stood up from the chair, went to the window with his hands behind his back, and opened the window. A smell of water came in from the outside. It rained heavily in the Imperial City today, and although the temperature has dropped a bit, it is still muggy.
"Hmm." Pang Ban agreed, followed by a period of silence, and then said after a while: "The situation in the south has changed again. His Majesty issued an order last month to adjust the supervisory duties assigned by Xuanqing Guards in the army. The responsibility of supervising the army in the army has been assigned to the supervisory envoy."
"The responsibility of supervising and supervising the army?!" Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, a fire flashed in his eyes, and then calmed down. He knew that Pang Ban must have something to say, so it was not easy to continue asking questions rashly.
"That's right. His Majesty decided this matter after the conclusion of Qin Xiuyuan's murder case was reported. It took five days to get to the Ministry of War, and then the communication between the Ministry of War and Zuo Xiang's Yamen was delayed for more than half a month. The attached document was just attached yesterday. Documents signed and sealed by the Ministry of War and Zuoxiang Yamen were sent to me.
It will take effect immediately after being stamped with our Xuan Qingwei signature. But I want to hear your opinion. "
In Jiang Cheng's eyes, the commander in front of him never talked nonsense with others. The news he had been shown to him when he came was the news about Shen Hao's rapid improvement. Now the conversation changed to the southern frontier army and Xuanqingwei. An important change that is closely related to. Do you still want to listen to his opinion in the end? What opinions could he have as an envoy of Jingxi Town? Even if you have any objections, shouldn't you raise them with the Jingnan Town Fushi Yamen? What does it have to do with him?
"My subordinates think it is a good thing. It can make Xuanqingwei's voice louder in the army, and at the same time it can effectively check and balance the power of the civilian group to control the army. As long as we can secure this responsibility, then Xuanqingwei will be in the country in the future." The status within the court will also rise accordingly."
It wasn't appropriate to say nothing, so Jiang Chengcheng followed Pang Ban's words and made some superficial comments.
"You're right, and you actually hit the point. This is indeed a good thing for our Xuanqing Guards. Maybe not being able to secure this job is the key.
This time Zuoxiang's Yamen delayed the Ministry of War for more than half a month, and those who were slow must have been prepared. Now we need a point that can open up the situation as a breakthrough. "
"You mean to the south?"
"That's right. There is currently an upsurge of troops in the south. The supervisory army has huge power in the border army and lacks restraint all year round. As long as we can firmly hold the supervisory army in the border army in the south, it will also be possible in the entire country. Supervision responsibilities can be carried out naturally.
However, the Xuanqing Guards have been ill for a long time. You should know that how can you fight with the supervisors under the control of civilian officials if you can't deal with the original situation? I'm afraid that it won't be long before he is accused of being slandered, and it will be embarrassing if he can't get off the stage and be embarrassed in front of His Majesty. "
Jiang Cheng didn't know how to respond to these words. Although he knew that what Pang Ban said was true, it was not a good idea to speak ill of his colleagues in front of Shangfeng. I can only keep silent.
Pang Ban even said it tactfully. The Xuanqing Guard has inspectors in each army all year round, but they are in name only. This is not the incompetence of one or two people, but the general lack of overall perspective and adaptability of the Xuanqing Guard when dealing with external chaotic situations. Being accustomed to a simple and crude way of behaving, it is really difficult for them to make calculations all the time, be on guard at all times, and have to be cautious while fighting with others.
In addition, the army is also mixed with forces from the civilian system, such as the Supervisory Army, and the situation is complicated. If you are not careful, you will be pushed to the edge and out of bounds. The supervisory envoy, who was a joke among all the armies, was gradually marginalized by the joint efforts of the military and supervisory forces.
A lesson for the past and a guide for the future. What happened to the inspector before could be regarded as a "shame". Pang Ban would not say it, but he must have been thinking about it and feeling aggrieved in his heart. Now that we have finally managed to keep the clouds clear and the moon shine bright, if we repeat the same mistakes, it would be a real disaster.
so......
"The old system of Xuanqingwei is not suitable for the selection of candidates, and the existing people in the Jingnan Town Fushi Yamen are not suitable for this outstanding person." Pang Ban said this and took a sip of tea, deliberately leaving There was a blank period for Jiang Cheng to react.
Candidate? After such a big trip, it really fell on a specific person. Jiang Cheng felt a little uncomfortable. He was obviously his disciple and the most capable general under his command. You commanded the Xuanqing Guards in the world with dignity. What kind of talent did you not have? Why do you always want to get away from Jingxi?
"Sir, do you mean Black Flag Camp?"
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to take up the fight, but he held back his hand. He mentioned the Black Flag Camp but did not point out Shen Hao, whom Pang Ban had hinted at for a long time. Speaking first and speaking later are often completely different things.
Pang Dian nodded, but his expression was still smiling and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. Said: "That's right. Without the old system of Xuanqing Guard and Chen Ji, it can only be the Black Flag Camp. No, it should be your Black Flag Camp in Fengri City. What does the Black Flag Camp in other places look like? Just don’t say it.
So I came to you this time to hear your thoughts. Is there any way for your disciple to get things done in the south and get things done properly? "
Unlike Jiang Cheng's concerns, Pang Ban had no concerns. If he had to say he did, it was because Jiang Cheng was Shen Hao's superior teacher. However, when he asked this question, Jiang Cheng actually had little room for maneuver.
