Chapter five hundred and thirty fourth because of you
Young Master Liu's words "Govern power, hand over what power." The expressions of Zhang Kuang, Song and Qing were suddenly startled, and their pupils tightened uncontrollably.
After Liu Mingzhi said this, he has been silently observing the expressions of the two people.
Looking at the reactions on the faces and eyes of the two people, Liu Mingzhi murmured slightly in his heart. Could it be that the handover of power was just mentioned by the two of them on a whim, and there was no intention from Li Ye in it.
Zhang Kuang held up the teacup with stiff arms, drinking tea to cover up his inner uneasiness.
After drinking most of the cup of tea, Zhang Kuang took a slow breath of hot breath.
"Of course it's time to exchange military power. Now that the war has ceased, with the decadent state of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, I think there won't be any more war in the border areas in the next three to five years.
Since there is no war in northern Xinjiang, it is not appropriate for us generals to keep the tiger talisman seals in our hands. Although His Majesty did not mention this matter in the last court meeting, I think we should also take the initiative to use the tiger talisman seals in our hands.
Hand over the military talisman.
Especially the commander's seal in the hands of your three armies, the left, the middle, the right, and the general. When there is no war, it would be a little bad to still have the Tiger Talisman commander's seal in your hands.
It cannot be justified emotionally or rationally.
Especially the attitude of the civil servants is terrifying."
After Zhang Kuang finished speaking, Song Qing nodded in agreement, but did not elaborate on the pros and cons.
"Third brother, I think my uncle is right. It is your Majesty's business whether you want him or not. It is our attitude whether we should be friends with each other. Now that the war has subsided, it is indeed unreasonable for the commander of the three armies to hold the tiger talisman."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang calmly, and Master Song and Qing's eyes were full of meaning. He picked up the tea and blew it and lowered his head to taste it carefully.
At that time, the silence in the main hall could be heard, and only the sound of Young Master Liu drinking tea reached the ears of the three of them.
Because Young Master Liu said "what power do you want to hand over", the atmosphere between the three men who usually talked about everything in private suddenly became a little strange.
Song Qing didn't look surprised. He looked at Young Master Liu and picked up the teacup and drank lightly.
As a result, the atmosphere between Liu Dashao and Zhang Kuang is a bit difficult to figure out.
A cup of tea was drunk slowly in a strange atmosphere, and no one helped to refill it.
Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup, hunched over and touched the tobacco pouch on Song Qing's waist.
Skillfully loading the tobacco, Mr. Liu lit it up and took a few puffs at the candle nearby.
"Uncle, Marshal Yun, has Marshal Nangong entered the palace?"
Zhang Kuangyi shook his head silently: "I haven't heard the news yet, but I think the two of them will enter the palace and hand over power before next year. Marshal Yun has received Long's favor from generation to generation, so of course there is no need to say more about his attitude towards the court. Nangong, this
This guy is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager. Once Mr. Yun makes a move, he will definitely enter the palace with him without hesitation.
The only thing left is the meaning of you, the marshal of the army in the middle.
I don’t need to say more about our relationship, so I went ahead to see what you mean.”
"Third brother, my uncle and I have no other intentions. I just want to listen to your advice. If you are an outsider, see if your uncle will pay attention to him. Don't have any grudges against your uncle.
He treats you as a close nephew like me, so he is so outspoken."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, refilled a pack of cigarettes and puffed out.
"Brother, don't you understand what kind of person I am? How can I be dissatisfied with my uncle? As you just said, my uncle won't worry about outsiders' affairs."
"I will naturally hand over the tiger talisman handsome seal you mentioned, and I will definitely not keep it in my hands, leaving a clue for people with ulterior motives.
I was a little surprised just now. After you came here, you mentioned the handover of power without saying a word. I was also wondering what kind of power should be handed over?
You are right in saying that it is time to hand over power. Now that the war is over and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is indeed unreasonable for those of us who lead the army to continue to hold the tiger talisman to command the three armies. It will inevitably make people misunderstand that we have a disloyal heart.
Of course it can be handed in. Let's discuss a time and go to the palace together before the year to hand in the tiger talisman.
To be honest, not only do you want it, I have already agreed to it. I can’t eat or sleep well with these things in my hands. I wanted to go find you, but I didn’t expect you to come first.”
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's sincere smile, Zhang Kuang couldn't help but feel relieved.
What Young Master Liu said just now, his nephew, really frightened his heart, and it suddenly tightened.
Nowadays, this nephew's power is unrivaled in the Great Dragon Court. If he had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he would definitely set off a bloody storm that would be many times more powerful than the King of Shu and others.
Even if Northern Xinjiang recruits 300,000 new soldiers, once the nephew raises an army, he will probably only be able to compete with the 200,000 cavalry under his command.
This is not to be arrogant and self-deprecating, but the gap in military preparation is actually too big.
All the cavalry in Northern Xinjiang combined together would only amount to 200,000 soldiers and horses.
On the other hand, the soldiers and horses under this nephew's command are all elite cavalry who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Among the six guards, the 200,000 cavalry cobbled together from the east and west faced the 200,000 iron cavalry who had experienced hundreds of battles. The victory or defeat was clear at a glance.
If the 200,000 cavalrymen of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang want to reach a tacit understanding with each other, it will take at least 50,000 elite soldiers to break it in. However, the 200,000 cavalrymen of the Six Guards of the New Army have already reached this level during the campaign.
Both offense and defense, to the point where everything is reduced to parts.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides were fighting together, and Zhang Kuang really had no confidence.
And they may not even give you a chance to get along, but they will already engulf you.
In particular, there are many famous generals among the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, all of whom were disciples of Young Master Liu when he went to the Western Regions.
With the prestige this nephew has accumulated in northern Xinjiang after three national wars, the consequences are...
Maybe the imperial court can do its best to stop the offensive in the north, but is the result of losing both sides really good?
Perhaps the two enemy countries, Jin and Tu, had not accumulated new strength for a comeback, and Dalong had already collapsed under its own internal strife.
In the short time it took to have a cup of tea, Zhang Kuang had already considered countless possibilities in his mind.
Hearing that Young Master Liu was willing to hand over military power, Zhang Kuang's heart suddenly fell to the ground and he felt relieved.
"Zhi'er, it would be great if you could understand my uncle's painstaking efforts. As for when to enter the palace to meet the saint, uncle and Qing'er will wait for your notification. We will go when you tell us."
"Okay, after a few days, let's go there around the 23rd or 4th. I will notify you of the specific day."
"That's good. My uncle has other things he wants you to help with during his visit this time."
The grudge between the two of them had disappeared. Liu Mingzhi poured the cooled tea in Zhang Kuang's hand on the ground, picked up the pot and poured a cup for each of the three of him.
"As long as a child can do anything, it must be defined."
"It's about reinforcements from the Western Regions."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang in surprise: "What happened to the reinforcements from the Western Regions? Didn't we order them to be divided into six groups and stationed in the six main cities in northern Xinjiang before we returned to Beijing?"
"Yes, it is indeed right to station in the main city of Northern Xinjiang, but the situation of reinforcements in the Western Regions is not good now. Your cousin Zhang Mo sent a message from Northern Xinjiang, and now the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions are no longer so obedient to him.
It’s tempered.”
Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned cold: "How could this happen? Could it be that because of a national war, the commanders-in-chief of the Western Regions became arrogant and became arrogant?"
Zhang Kuang sighed and shook his head, looking at Young Master Liu with complicated eyes again.
"It's not because of arrogance, but because of you."
"Because of me? Uncle, what do you mean?"
"You heard that right, it's because of you that your cousin overheard the private conversations of some generals in the Western Regions, and they are more willing to obey your command!
As a result, your cousin is now in a dilemma."
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and finally understood what Zhang Kuang said.
PS: I'm really sorry. My parents have planted several acres of winter peach orchards and have been helping them process the fruits at my hometown these days. It's six o'clock in the morning and seven o'clock in the evening. I have been busy all day long and have no time to write. I have been waiting for these days.
The update will be resumed immediately. I hope brothers and sisters can understand.
