Although Emperor Dade had great trust and entrusted him with important responsibilities, Wang Jingzhi how dared to make decisions for the emperor and reward ministers. After serving as an official for many years, he immediately showed fear and bowed respectfully: "The Golden Guards only listen to your Majesty's words.
I cannot give your Majesty any advice, this is the mission of Jinyi."
"You are such a boring person." The Great Virtue Emperor smiled slightly, trusting Wang Jingzhi even more in his heart. He stood up and walked around, and suddenly asked: "Can a ghost general be loyal?"
"I would like to report this person's past to the Holy One and ask for His Majesty's judgment." Wang Jingzhi said, "This son is from a commoner's background. His father, Zhang Jian, is an ordinary bodyguard of Yongzhou Ping An Bodyguard Bureau. However, after investigation, I also found out that Zhang Jian
Jian was once a bodyguard of Prince Ning, and later left Prince Ning's palace to live in Yongzhou."
Emperor Dade asked: "Did Zhang Jian take part in King Ning's rebellion?"
"Not at all," Wang Jingzhi said, "Three years after Zhang Jian left Prince Ning's palace, Prince Ning started to cause rebellion. The Jinyiwei investigation of Zhang Jian had nothing to do with Prince Ning's rebellion."
"Why did this document leave Prince Ning's Mansion?"
"Prince Ning was debauched and cruel, and all those who had ambitions rejected him." Wang Jingzhi said, "It is said that Zhang Jian left Prince Ning's Mansion just because his friends tried to dissuade Prince Ning, but was persecuted by Prince Ning. So Zhang Examin saw through Prince Ning's face, and so he
Leave."
"He is a man full of justice." Emperor Dade said with a smile, and said: "This is a filial piety. A commoner can serve as a general. The Holy Han Dynasty has not seen this for three hundred years."
Wang Jingzhi flattered him and said, "If it weren't for your majesty's support, how could I have these three hundred years of talent?"
Emperor Da De laughed endlessly, feeling proud that he had discovered a talent.
Wang Jingzhi continued: "When Zhang Xiaowu was under Shi Jing's men, he helped him defend Tucheng, and shot back the Wuhuan coalition forces with three divine arrows. He almost killed the Wuhuan king Wuli in front of the formation. After the Tucheng was destroyed, he killed himself.
After emerging from the siege, he moved to Mucheng, and won the appreciation of Cheng Chu for his bravery. The battle in the north of Saibei was in a stalemate, and nearly a thousand deserters were escorted to Mucheng. Cheng Chu then used Zhang Xiaowu to lead the deserters to form a death camp. Zhang Xiaowu led the
The Dead Soldiers' Battalion annihilated the sand bandits in the north of the Great Wall. After that, there were no bandits in the north of the Great Wall. Later, when the Qinglong Army was defeated in Yashan, Zhang Xiaowu led 300 cavalry to fight back and kill Wuhuan's 3,000 pursuing troops. Zhang Xiaowu killed the seven sons of Wuhuan Khan.
Yiye Gucha Shi. This time he escorted Su Yu to Yashan for negotiations. He also used 300 light cavalry to break through the formation of 20,000 Wuhuan armored cavalry.
have."
Emperor Da De's blood boiled when he heard this. He wished he could mount his sword and go out to kill the enemy. He couldn't help but patted the dragon chair and laughed loudly: "This son is a good general, a good general! Why is this son so brave, but his reputation is not seen in the government and the public?"
"
Wang Jingzhi said: "Your Majesty, it's just that my son is not from a noble family."
"Both nobles and common people are my subjects, what's the difference?" Emperor Dade was still young and vigorous. He stood up from the dragon throne, paced back and forth, and said, "Tell me, can this person be used by me?
?”
Wang Jingzhi thought for a long time and then said: "Well, Su Yu once said that Zhang Xiaowu must repay his kindness and revenge, but he was a man with a clear sense of grudges and grudges, and he was cruel in murdering people. He once killed someone who had wronged him in the street.
The old woman ate her marrow raw. This person killed hundreds of people before and after him, and there are even rumors that there were more than a thousand people in the northern part of the Great Wall. He was very careful with his evil spirit."
Emperor Dade was startled. Zhang Xiaowu was indeed a ghost general, and his actions were like those of an evil ghost.
Wang Jingzhi added: "I made a false guess that the deposed prince's death from illness should have a great deal to do with him. Zhang Xiaowu had a very good relationship with Shi Jing. Shi Jing promoted his servant to a school captain and gave him a marriage. It can be said that he was kind."
Heavy as a mountain. The ghost will fall into the city on the wedding day
His wife was poisoned by dog barbarians. This man had deep resentment towards the deposed prince and Gu Yong. The deposed prince was imprisoned in the wooden city dungeon without seeing the sun all day long. Anyone who has not seen the sun for several months will suffer from all kinds of diseases, not to mention that the deposed prince has already been
Crazy.”
Seeing Emperor Dade deep in thought, Wang Jingzhi said again: "Your Majesty, I heard when I was in contact with Du Shanbo that he said that this son is a double-edged sword. It can be a sharp weapon to eliminate demons when used properly, but it can be used improperly.
Injuring its owner. Therefore, the Ministry of War has been suppressing Mucheng and has not given military pay to Mucheng so far. Although the defenders of Mucheng are the elite of our Holy Han, they are neither the forbidden army nor the border army. They can be regarded as rural troops at most."
The Great Virtue Emperor suddenly laughed and said: "Uncle Du Shan wants to suppress this ghost general's limelight and wait for the ghost general to temper his temper before he can win over people's hearts. What a good plan. What a good plan." Wang Jingzhi nodded in agreement.
Emperor De sneered: "The defenders of Mucheng
He is a hero of our country, how can he chill their hearts? He drafted a decree to use the wooden city of Luolan as the boundary, and the defenders of the wooden city to supplement the border army guard station. His troops planned to pay five thousand soldiers, and the troops were named... Since he
Called Ghost General, his troops will become Ghost Guards."
"Your Majesty, do you want to take away this double-edged sword?" Wang Jingzhi asked.
The Great Virtue Emperor smiled strangely: "Since even the cunning Uncle Dushan cannot control this person, I want to see if he can shake the foundations of some people for me."
Although Jinyiwei's information was accurate and timely, it was not reported by the Ministry of War. Therefore, Emperor Dade's reward was temporarily kept in the palace and was only known to Wang Jingzhi and his personal eunuch. The current focus of the court was on Wuhuan's proposal to marry the princess.
Do you want to accept the marriage request?
Marriage marriage is not unheard of. Whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, marriage marriage is one of the means of political diplomacy. This dynasty once married princesses. These three princesses spread the culture and civilization of the Central Plains to surrounding countries, and many vassal states also used the holy
The Han Dynasty regarded it as the main country. This marriage was for the purpose of marrying down, but Wuhuan threatened and forced the marriage. This was the first time in the 300-year history of the Holy Han Dynasty. There was no reason to be forced to marry a princess to pray for peace.
So there was a quarrel between the government and the opposition. The moderates and the hard-liners each had their own opinions. The moderates said that peace is the most important thing, but the hard-liners accused the moderates of losing power and humiliating the country. Du Shanbo was naturally a hard-liner. He directly spoke in the court.
You scolded Zhang Kuan and others for sending women to marry you, even if you don't want to lose face, your ancestors will be completely humiliated.
Although the left prime minister Zhang Kuan and the right prime minister Wang Cheng fought with each other privately, it was an internal fight between civil servants, at least within the rules, while the Dushan Bo Dynasty was ruled by military men. In history, many dynasties were in chaos because of military men.
country, and how many generals in charge of military power overthrew the emperor and established themselves. After facing Dushanbo, Zhang Dang and the royal party quickly unified their opinions and gathered their own forces to fight against Dushanbo.
Since Dushanbo was in power, he would naturally not listen to them. However, Dushanbo cherished his reputation and did not want to be infamy after a hundred years, so he allowed hundreds of officials to argue in the court. Emperor Dade heard that both sides were reasonable and did not
It is easy to conclude that as a young emperor, he naturally does not want the princess to marry someone who has lost his ancestors, but he cannot easily follow Du Shanbo's wishes, so he is full of contradictions in his heart and hesitates to answer.
Su Yu could only continue to wait for orders, but many people around him became aware of Du Shanbo's lackadaisical nature again, and did not expect that he was actually somewhat capable.
