Chapter 835 Xie Guanying Emperor accepted his disciples, and the heavy snow dragon soldiers were sent to Guangling
On this day, all civil and military officials in Tai’an City, who had just finished the New Year, were frowning on the way to participate in the first morning court in the New Year.
Even the Duke of Yan Gao Shizhi and the Duke of Huaiyang Song Daoning looked solemn after getting off the car.
In fact, yesterday, the two of them had already entered the palace overnight to meet His Majesty the Emperor. Not only them, but also the prominent ministers and ministers of the three provinces and six ministries had already met. Although the young emperor seemed to have a calm expression, he only said that there were 10,000 cavalry in Beiliang who broke into Hezhou without authorization under the banner of Jingnan Guangling. His tone was faint, but everyone here knew the emperor’s suppressed anger. In the end, there were not many substantial countermeasures. Among them, Jin Lanting, the Minister of Rites, suggested that Xu Gong, the Minister of War, retreat from the borders of the two Liaos and lead elite troops from the capital to Guangling Road to reinforce the commander of the Southern Expedition, Lu Shengxiang. His Majesty the Emperor did not agree or refused. Tang Tiexhuang, the Minister of War, then suggested that the court order General Yuan Tingshan, Jizhou, to go south to Guangling and advance in line with the subordinate Xu Gong. There was an elderly old minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I don’t know what was wrong, otherwise I was afraid that the 10,000 Northern Liang cavalry would not go to Guangling Road to quell the rebellion, but turned their spearheads and headed straight for Tai’an City. So I suggested to the Emperor that the King of Shu might as well get the King of Shu to draw 10,000 more soldiers and horses from the jurisdiction. At that time, the young emperor changed his face slightly. Fortunately, Tantan’s old man lost his sheep and made up for the siege and quickly added a sentence, saying that the 10,000 soldiers and horses could be temporarily “lent” to Xu of the Ministry of War.
Gao Shizhi looked at the little girl beside her who had a pale complexion because of the cold, and asked softly, “Why don’t you change a thicker fur?”
Song Daoning said bitterly, “I didn’t sleep for a night last night. The study was warm. I just took such a piece at that time. You don’t know my temper. I guess my face was not very good when I went out. How dare the servants come beside me to ask for trouble.”
Gao Shizhi took off his fur without saying a word and changed the fur with Song Daoning. He was like a servant from the Marquis of Huaiyang, helping the marquis in front of him with his own hands.
Song Daoning said softly, “Old Gao, if there is a day when Tai’an City can see smoke, we will also go to the top of the city to pull the bow and shoot the enemy. Should you die first or I die first?”
Gao Shizhi spat a few times and said angrily, “You can’t say bad things during the New Year!”
Song Daoning laughed and said, “Just treat it as a child without politeness, and child without politeness, haha.”
Gao Shizhi lowered his voice and said, “I can’t guarantee anything else. If you take a step back, even if Gu Jiantang of Liao rebelled, Xu Fengnian in Beiliang would not attack Tai’an City.”
Song Daoning said curiously, “Is it really like talking about the streets? Then Xu Fengnian was really just going to save a woman from Western Chu. I originally beat her to death and didn’t believe it, but just a joke.”
Gao Shizhi grinned his teeth and said, “That guy, you can’t do anything. You can challenge ordinary people like Deng Tai’a and Cao Changqing alone. You dare to go to the Imperial Heaven Supervision.Kill in and out”
Song Daoning stopped and asked in a deep voice: “Is the identity of a woman also like absurd rumors? It is the Empress of Western Chu?”
Gao Shizhi shook his head and said: “It’s hard to say, it’s true or false, God knows. “
Song Daoning asked in the bottom of the question: “Gao Shizhi, the Xu family in Beiliang who had privately kept the princess of the Great Chu country in the fallen state, do you know when it spread in Tai’an City?”
Gao Shizhi said with a headache: “Actually, this kind of rumor has existed very early. The rumor of Chen Sesame and Milk has been circulating for many years, but it was not widely circulated at that time and could not cause any major turmoil. However, as winter came last year, it suddenly began to spread in the city and was out of control. Your Marquis’ Mansion is very strict, so you can’t hear such rumors that it is difficult to reach the elegance of the world. “
Song Daoning fell into deep thought.
Gao Shizhi smiled and said, “What’s there to think about this? I have to see. It must be that Jin Lanting, who no longer has beards, is making trouble. Gao Tingshu and Wu Congxian, the gangsters, can’t escape even if they run errands. I wondered why this Beiliang people hate Beiliang more than us real Beijingers.”
Song Daoning sighed softly: “The people in the countryside want to compete for water in the same village, and their colleagues in the officialdom compete for chairs. All of this is the same. Anyway, some scholars are unreasonable, and you can’t say anything. “
Gao Shizhi wondered, “Aren’t you a scholar?”
Song Daoning glared and said, “It’s the New Year, how much is it to curse people?”
Gao Shizhi was speechless.
Your mother, the two of us are the best scholars around Liyang. No matter you are the Marquis of Huaiyang, if this is spread, you will not be drowned by others.
Gao Shizhi and Song Daoning walked side by side: “Daoning, you said that the boy of the Xu family will not really rebel.”
Song Daoning asked with a smile, “I’m afraid.”
Gao Shizhi muttered, “The Northern Liang Cavalry on the Western Front, the Northern Mang Barbarian on the North, and the Western Chu Cao Changqing on the South, if this is the case, you are not afraid.”
Song Daoning talked: “Who said just now that Beiliang would definitely not come to Tai’an City to fight the autumn wind?”
Gao Shizhi said with a bitter face: “Things in the world are unpredictable. What if a young man surnamed Xu is really the kind of infatuated person who doesn’t want a country and wants a beauty, then it’s lingering. “
Song Daoning’s face was also not very good, “To be honest, what are you afraid of?”
Gao Shizhi’s face turned red and whispered: “Bei Mang Xi Chu is afraid of a bird, but I’m afraid that Bei Liang will give up his head and not guard the country’s gate. “
Gao Shizhi thought that after saying this, he would be laughed at by his good brothers. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Huaiyang said softly: “I am also afraid of the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang. Do you think anyone in the temple is really not afraid?”
Today’s court meeting, Jin Lanting, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was extremely low-key at the end of the second year of Xiangfu, suddenly became the most voiced official in the temple.Even Tang Tiexhuang, the Ministry of War, was stolen from the limelight.
With the advice of Jin Lanting, the court passed a series of policies on the spot without going through the small meeting. Among them, Xu Gong, the Minister of War, who was the emperor who patrolled the two Liao borders and made military achievements last year, was finally able to retreat from the cold palace in Liaodong. Not only did he successfully return from outside the pass, but he also led 20,000 elite troops from the capital to the south to reinforce Lu Shengxiang. The military general Li Changan, who had just been promoted, served as deputy to Mr. Xu. Young officials such as Gao Tingshu and Kong Zhenrong in the Ministry of War, left Beijing with the two adults and were finally expected to make their mark. General Yuan Tingshan of Jizhou led 10,000 cavalry and infantry each to leave the border, entered the Central Plains from the pass Jizikou, and advanced in unison with Xu Gong’s army. Then there was an order to Western Shu, and ordered King Chen Zhibao of Shu to draw another 10,000 elite troops from Shu to participate in Guangling Road to suppress the rebellion. This army would be led by Xu Gong and Chen Zhibao.
Compared with Jin Lanting’s loyalty to the country and solving problems for the court everywhere, the proposal of the Imperial College Yao Baifeng at the end of the court meeting immediately made the already solemn court become more and more silent. This Neo-Confucian scholar from the northwest suggested that the matters related to the canal transport. The Jing’an Road Strategic Instruction Wen Taiyi had arrived at the local area, and the government affairs were already heavy, so the officials within the canal transport should be held responsible for the specific affairs. Lord Wen only needs to grasp the overall situation. If it were in the past, without the Emperor’s Majesty’s words, countless civil servants and generals would jump out to refute Lord Zuo Jijiu. However, today the young emperor sat on the dragon throne high above, without saying a word, his eyes wandered, but almost within his sight, there were only ministers who bowed their heads and remained silent, and no official who raised his chest and spoke boldly. In the end, the young emperor slowly withdrew his gaze from far away to near, stayed on the group of six Huang Zigongs for a moment, and finally someone stood up, it was Chen Wang from the disciples. Chen Wang did not overturn Yao Baifeng’s opinions, but put forward a compromise statement: First, the Ministry of Personnel strictly reviewed the resumes of the main officials of the grain transport, and after the court finalized the candidates, the strategy asked Wen Taiyi to put down the burden, and the Guangling grain transport will be temporarily held by Wen Taiyi.
After retreating from the court, His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of convening a small court meeting, so all the officials then withdrew from the hall and headed straight for the yamen.
Jin Lanting, who became a laughing stock in the officialdom at the end of last year, is proud today. You don’t have to think about it, because of the “many trivial matters”, some officials who forgot to visit New Year’s greetings have to flock to the line and wait in line outside the Minister’s Mansion. Of course, the gift list will be repeated as much as possible.
Yao Baifeng was surrounded by officials today, and the old man didn’t care. He didn’t rush to walk down the steps. Looking at the imperial road in his sight as if bound in the door, he was stunned.
A young voice sounded beside the old man: “Sir Zuo Jijiu, your stove is cold, it will be difficult to start a house in the future.”
The old man did not turn around. There were not many young people who dared to speak like this to the senior in a cynical tone. There were only a handful of people who were qualified to attend the court meeting. Of course, they were already in the capital at a young age.Sun Yin, a poor man from the northern cold, who had been ups and downs.
Sun Yin continued to tease, “Mr. Yao, you are really a scholarly person. You should be a loyal minister at this time, and you deserve to be a tea.”
The old man laughed at himself, “You have to choose when you are a loyal minister.”
