After hearing this, Emperor Dade and others felt that this method was very good. In fact, there was no need to make a big show of dealing with the rebels of the Sky Fire Sect. There was actually another important reason why the former emperor Taigan Emperor asked Zhao Jie to lead the army on the expedition five years ago. Zhao Jie supported the fifth prince Xuanyuan Zixiao, who is now the Dade Emperor. The reason why Zhao Jie supported the Dade Emperor was because he had a grudge against Gu Yong. At that time, Gu Yong had made unconstrained plans during the Battle of Huashu River in the Ministry of War. army, but was refuted by Zhao Jie.
At that time, Gu Yong was the imperial military champion and a relative of the emperor. Naturally, he was not afraid of Zhao Jie at all, so he argued with Zhao Jie based on reason. The two had a quarrel. If it was just a quarrel, it was nothing more. Zhao Jie's son Zhao Lu Seeing Gu Yong's rude words, he stepped forward to beat him, but he was beaten to the ground by Gu Yong with three punches and two kicks. Heyuan Bo was disgraced and threatened that if Gu Yong was in the military department, he would not be on duty at the military department.
The late Emperor Taigan was worried that Zhao Jie would interfere with the crown prince's enthronement, and he was also worried that Zhao Jie would neglect national affairs because of his personal enmity with Gu Yong, so he sent him to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the rebellion. However, the Jiangnan rebellion turned out to be useless, and the army remained useless for five years. The rebels could not be completely eradicated.
However, after Dushanbo thought about it, he immediately expressed his opposition. He said: "The Suzaku Army has been cunning for five years. Not only can the thief be found, but the commander is also lost. If we retreat, what will be the morale of the three armies? Have you forgotten that the Xuanwu Army was defeated by Hua Hua? Shuhe's injury, since that time, he has been able to build another Xuanwu Legion, but it has lost its energy, morale is low, and its combat power is low. When it sees the dog barbarians, it will flee. The Holy Han Forbidden Army cannot have another Xuanwu Legion. , the Holy Han Forbidden Army cannot be defeated again."
Although the Xuanwu Legion now has six regiments, there are only 20,000 soldiers. The soldiers are all captains, captains, captains, etc. There are very few soldiers. They are only needed to protect the imperial city for a short period of time. After the defeat of Huashuhe, the Xuanwu Legion They no longer had any fighting spirit. Even when the Silver Guards attacked the palace, the Xuanwu Legion did not dare to come forward to quell the chaos. This shows how cowardly and incompetent their soldiers are.
But Uncle Dushan did not finish his words. In addition to the Xuanwu Legion, there is also an army that cannot rebuild its spirit after defeat, the Qinglong Legion. The Qinglong Legion has always been known as the imperial army, directly under the command of the emperor or the prince. The strength of this army The energy and spirit were also dispersed. From now on, how could there be a strong army to defend the royal family?
"Uncle Dushan, do you have any advice?" Stein blushed and leaned forward to ask for advice.
Uncle Dushan thought for a long time before he said: "If you only command the march, Prince Nanyang will be enough. What he injured was his leg, not his brain. In my opinion, Prince Nanyang's brain is better than many people's. Are you dissatisfied with the Ministry of War?"
Shi Yong smiled bitterly and nodded. It wasn't that he couldn't refute, but he just didn't want to compete with a disabled person.
Everyone is thinking, it is you, Uncle Dushan, who has the final say in Hezhe's court. You say that the Nanyang County Prince is not good enough, but you say that he is the only one who belongs to him. The right and wrong are all yours. What is the use of our military department here? But who? They didn't dare to say anything, after all, Uncle Dushan really had the final say in the court now, and even the emperor didn't refute.
After a while, the Great De Emperor smiled and nodded, and he suppressed his anger. The reason why the Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Zi Xiao of the Great De Emperor was stronger than the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zi Xun was that he could endure it. The word "forbearance" made him finally become the emperor. The emperor smiled and said: "In that case, we will do as uncle said. The Ministry of War will draw up the regulations."
"Here." Shi Yong said hurriedly.
Du Shanbo suddenly asked: "By the way, the court has been arguing about the situation in Saibei for a month, right?"
Shi Yong said: "Yes, this son has contributed to the empire, but giving up his robe is a death penalty. This...reward and punishment method is really a lot of disputes."
Emperor Dade asked: "Compared with the important national affairs, Zhang Xiaowu's rewards and punishments are originally a trivial matter. However, the Ministry of War has its own opinions and delayed important matters. I wonder what Marshal Ye thinks of it?"
Uncle Dushan stroked his beard and said: "You are just a third-grade general on the frontier, so why do you need to put so much effort into it? If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you go wrong, you will be punished. That's it."
Stein stepped forward and said: "Uncle, abandoning the aid of Paoze is a death penalty!"
Du Shanbo made a sound and said: "The Ministry of War, the consecutive victories of the dog barbarians have turned the tide of the battle in the northern part of the Great Wall. What reward should I receive?"
Ju Hongzhen, who was in charge of the examination of officers and assistants in the Ministry of War, said: "To reward a nobleman and his merits, he should be rewarded as a third-rank marquis."
Although Du Shanbo appreciated Zhang Xiaowu's bravery, Zhang Xiaowu committed a taboo and did not surrender to him. Why did he offend many noble generals by protecting him? He said slowly: "Every merit must be rewarded and a fault must be punished. I, the Holy Han Tian,
Rewards and punishments are clear from the direction, that day
Even if the Seventh Prince made a mistake, wouldn't His Majesty also punish him? This son didn't save Pao Ze, which made the public angry. It's time for him to be punished. Young people should suffer some hardships. He has been used to smooth sailing in the past few years.
, I am also afraid that he is too proud and arrogant."
The Great Virtue Emperor said again: "Uncle, I don't know whether what is said here is true or false. You had contact with the ghost general in the north of Saibei. If the ghost general is actually a ruthless and unjust person, I cannot use him."
But Du Shanbo said: "Your Majesty, it is up to you to decide how to punish him. How can I dare to say more?"
Emperor Dade secretly scolded him as an old fox for doing this kind of thing of punishing people. He didn’t know what kind of medicine he was selling in his pocket. He looked at everyone and said: "Ministry of War, exempt General Zhang Xiaowu from Saibei."
He will be exempted from the reward of third-grade marquis, and a recruiting envoy will be set up in northern Saibei to handle important matters for the military and civilians in northern Saibei. I will ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to draw up a list someday and give it to me to take a look at."
The next day, Ju Hongzhen, the left minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward to announce that the commander of the Suzaku Army, Heyuan Bo Zhao Jie, died of an old illness at the age of sixty-one. The court was shocked for a while, and there were many discussions. After all, Zhao Jie was related to Dushan.
The two great emperors of the same name
It was hard to accept that the national pillar Shi died of illness in the army. Immediately, an imperial official came forward and said: "Heyuan Bo Zhao Jie has always been in good health and will definitely not die of illness rashly. Please send someone to investigate and return Heyuan Bo.
justice."
Emperor Dade cursed in his heart, you stupid censor, I asked the Ministry of War to say this, so as to give the Zhao family some psychological comfort. It would be better for you to ask me to send people to investigate the case. You are so confused!
Zhang Kuan snorted coldly and said: "Is now the time to discuss the investigation of hidden information? No matter how important or important things are, go down."
The censor was startled, his flattery slapped the horse's leg, and he quickly retreated in dismay. The censor was affiliated to the Supervisory Office, and there were seventeen censorship stations in seventeen states across the country, which were responsible for investigating everything in Yuezhou's officialdom.
It is Yue who is speaking
As the censor of the state, he is most familiar with Yuezhou. He naturally knows that Zhao Jie, the uncle of Heyuan, has always been in excellent health. He thinks that if Zhao Jie dies, there will be no one in the court to check and balance Uncle Du Shan. As a subordinate of Zhang Dang, he
So I read a copy.
However, the wrong horse was photographed. The death of Heyuan Bo Zhao Jie made the imperial court very passive. The balance of power and balance among all parties was a game. How could he offend Du Shan Bo and unjustly accuse Du Shan Bo at this time? If Zhang Kuan had not warned him
, I'm afraid Du Shanbo will react and the Inspectorate will be in another catastrophe.
