Zhou Quan didn't know much about it, and based on his analysis, he was afraid that the officials might want to take action against their master.
If this was the case, he might have died while he was still in Bianliang City. For this reason, he was also prepared to die.
But now, the officials have given in.
This is enough to explain one thing, that is, the court is not ready to deal with his master now. Even so, of course he will be fine.
After comforting Yuan Xiaotou, Zhou Quan returned to the wing without letting anyone follow him, and took out the black walkie-talkie from the secret compartment on the wall. He wanted to report what he had just learned to Su Shi.
This walkie-talkie was given to Zhou Quan when Su Shi left, which also proves that this person has caught his eye and gained his trust.
...
Liaojing, Shimen Town.
The mood in the town became very serious at this time.
Four days ago, news suddenly spread in the town that the officials wanted to take the young marshal's parents to Bianliang City and take care of them.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
Feng Yidao, Hu Tongtian, Hu Yunfeng and several other bad-tempered captains rushed to the courtyard where Su Shi lived. They wanted to challenge him.
The worst case scenario is that they will fight back to the Song Dynasty from the Liao Kingdom. Really, there is no justice. They are fighting for their lives on the front line for the Song Dynasty, but behind them, there are people who are targeting their families. This is so unfair.
trust.
Fortunately, Ji Zhu didn't lose his cool yet and persuaded the three of them to calm down, so nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Otherwise, if the three of them saw Su Shi, they would even dare to say anything rebellious.
But even if the three of them were temporarily suppressed,
It doesn't mean that the matter is over like this. The eight thousand black knights are all filled with indignation and complain about their young commander. In private, many people even accuse Zhao Zhen of being a fool.
The Black Riders are Su Shi's private army.
Whether it's food, clothing, shelter, everything is provided by Su Shi alone.
Even now, no one knows how many military exploits they have made, but none of them has the military status of the Song Dynasty.
It is natural for such an army to have eyes only on Su Shi and no one else.
In contrast, the Pioneer Army and Longwuwei are different. They are the army of the Song Dynasty, and they still recognize Emperor Zhao Zhen.
But if something like this happened, it would be impossible to say that these people had no complaints at all.
It was like Hu Yanqing took the initiative to find Yang Wenguang and fight for Su Shi's injustice.
"This is so unfair. Even if the literati have objections to the warriors, they can't do it like this." Hu Yanqing spoke at the top of his voice as soon as he entered Yang Wenguang's room.
"Hush, no words, no words." Yang Wenguang's expression changed and he kept reminding him.
"There is nothing to be careful about. This is a military camp. Here are the people who share life and death with us. We should trust them." Hu Yanqing still said indifferently.
"It's different, it's different, people's hearts are separated from each other." Yang Wenguang said as he walked out of the wing cautiously, and then said to the sergeant guarding the door: "You step back twenty steps, no one is allowed to do it without my order."
Close to the courtyard.”
"yes."
After clearing away the others, Yang Wenguang returned to the wing, then looked at Hu Yanqing and said, "Hey, this
I can't figure it out, and I think it's too unfair to the young commander, but we are just generals, what can we do if something happens?"
"We can ask for orders. We can collectively ask for orders on behalf of the 10,000 soldiers of the Pioneer Army. This should have some weight." Hu Yanqing thought he had thought of a good idea and spoke out.
"Nonsense."
Yang Wenguang's expression changed upon hearing this and he said: "If we do this, it will not only be us who will suffer, but also the young commander."
"You don't know why Taizu disbanded the military power of the generals in the first place. What was he worried about? Do I need to say more?"
"Taizu was the most powerful in the world in terms of military force. Even among the founding emperors of the past dynasties, if they only used personal force, it would be difficult for anyone to be his opponent. But even so, he was still worried that the expansion of military commanders would threaten the stability of the imperial power. Today's
The officials are unparalleled in benevolence and wisdom, but when it comes to practical ability, they cannot compare with Taizu. How can you make him completely trust a military general with outstanding military exploits?"
To say that it is indeed a family of military commanders, Yang Wenguang’s analysis goes straight to the core.
Hu Yanqing also came from a family of military generals. Even if he couldn't figure out these principles, he had heard them from his ancestors and fathers. But he still didn't understand them.
"It is always said that the General Assembly threatens the imperial power. Does it mean that the military will not develop because of this?"
"Look at our Song Dynasty. We are the strongest in terms of economy and population. But why do we have to defend when faced with an attack from foreign tribes, and lose more than we win?"
"Is it because the soldiers don't fight hard? I don't see it. Our soldiers are all soldiers, and most of them are people who dare to fight. Isn't it because of that bullshit?
Is it because of his emphasis on civility and restraint on military force that our soldiers’ disposition to kill the enemy was stifled?”
"If these civil servants are so powerful, why don't they use their words to persuade foreigners? I think the next time there is a war, these civil servants should go up and give each of them a knife, and let them know the cruelty of the battlefield and how to win the war.
It’s not easy, it’s difficult to defend the territory.”
"okay."
Seeing that Hu Yanqing was getting more and more nonsense, Yang Wenguang stopped him. Then he sighed: "As military generals, we only need to obey the emperor's orders. As for other things, the officials and the civil servants should have
Think about it. After all, if something happens to Da Song, it’s not what they want to see.”
"There is also the matter of the Young Marshal. Since the Young Marshal has not come to us, we should not make random remarks. In fact, speaking of it, this is not the first time that generals, especially meritorious generals, have been suppressed. You will get used to it gradually.
Enough."
The more he talked, the less confident Yang Wenguang seemed to be.
When Hu Yanqing heard all this, he felt a little depressed. He suddenly felt that the two maces in his hands didn't seem so fragrant anymore.
In another small courtyard not far from Yang Wenguang, Raymond was also sitting alone.
During this period of time, he had won many battles with Su Shi, which made him full of admiration and respect for Su Shi, who was younger than himself.
Lei Meng was also a person who had feelings for his family and country. Especially after he was favored by King Jing and became the deputy commander of Long Wuwei, he strengthened his belief that he would work hard and fight for the strength of the Song Dynasty throughout his life.
If necessary, he can even donate his own
life.
But when Su Shi's incident happened, even Raymond was shaken.
Is it true that the Song Dynasty cannot accommodate even one meritorious general?
If this is the case, will this day happen to me in the future?
If this is the case, what is the point of struggling on your own?
At this time, Lei Meng wanted to write a letter to King Jing and ask why. Even if the court did not trust them, why should they lead the army? Let the civil servants lead the army.
At that time, when the Song Dynasty was in danger of annihilation, we should know how rare it is to have a meritorious general.
Pick up the pen and put it down, put it down and then pick up the pen.
In the end, Raymond still didn't write a word on the pen. For no other reason, his identity and qualifications were too low, and he simply couldn't participate in such a thing now.
Also, this matter is probably not King Jing’s intention.
The official family is still there and King Jing is still young. Even if some things happen, what King Jing can do is limited.
In fact, Jing Wang Zhao Xi did go to his father Zhao Zhen about this matter. For the first time, the father and son had two completely different views on the same matter. In the end, they broke up on bad terms, so that the relationship between father and son has never been the same.
From now on, there were some estrangements.
Of course, such secrets in the palace are not something that people like Raymond can know.
Su Shi faced unfair treatment, but Raymond couldn't do anything. Only at this moment did he feel how insignificant he was.
I wanted to comfort Su Shi, but I didn't know what to say. Just like that, I sat alone in the wing, speechless for a long time. And the entire Longwuwei also had their heads raised because of this incident.
There was a haze above, and the morale of the army suffered a serious blow at this moment.
In the largest courtyard in Shimen Town, Su Shi had just put down the walkie-talkie, with a look of relaxation and calmness that he hadn't seen in a few days on his face.
It was the housekeeper Zhou Quan who contacted him just now. He first told him that an assassin showed up and was taken care of by Ye Lengchan. Then he told about Chen Lin's personal arrival and told him that the officials were considerate and that his parents did not have to travel far to Bianliang.
The officials finally gave in.
This news made Su Shi feel relieved.
When he first heard the news that Zhao Zhen was going to take his parents to Beijing, Su Shi was really furious.
From the beginning of the Song Dynasty until the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the attitude towards military generals has always been consistent and extremely clear.
Su Shi already knew this when he led his troops into Liao for the first time, and made a lot of work and preparations for this.
He tried his best to maintain good relations with the officials, the queen, and King Jing, and gave numerous gifts for this purpose.
He also tried every means to influence King Jing, hoping that he could change the current situation of the Song Dynasty, reuse military generals, and give them their due status.
He had done a lot and performed very well on the battlefield. Su Shi once thought arrogantly that he was different from other generals in the eyes of officials, and that maybe he would become one of them.
But reality still slapped him hard, letting him know that no matter how hard he worked, as long as he was still a member of the generals, he would be no different from other generals in charge of troops, and would still be targeted and guarded against.
.
"No wonder the Song Dynasty was a dynasty with a very low sense of existence in history. Its roots were rotten."
Su Shi sighed to himself
, followed by a wry smile. Everyone said that the Song Dynasty was weak. Su Shi used to think that it might be because the foreign races were too strong, but after losing to Liao, Mongolia, and Xixia, his view had to change.
