Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh who hasn't had a dark side
This time Ye An did not escape the "punishment". After Fan Zhongyan was demoted to Chenzhou Tongxuan, Ye An was also demoted, but what he got was promotion and demotion.
Liu E's method was quite clever. She retained the title of Marquis of Ye'an, but the assignment was transferred from Shaoqing of Sinong Temple to Tiju, Ganliang, etc., and she also had the title of Qin Feng Road Soldiers and Horses.
"Military and Horse Qian Ju" is not something that can be called randomly. There are many ways to do it. At least a courtier like Ye An would have to ask Chen Lin for a long time to figure it out.
There are many divisions of soldiers and horses, and they are divided into second-class, third-class, and several types based on different powers, official qualifications, and locations. From the perspective of functions and powers alone, there are two levels of military and horse jurisdiction, Lu and Zhou; according to the order of official qualifications,
There are three types of military commanders: military commanders, military commanders, and deputy military commanders; and based on their duties, there are four types: official duties, additional duties, duties, and no duties.
And there is also a difference in seniority...Those who serve as military commanders and above in the form of civil servants and military officials are called "military and horse commanders", with the word "du" to indicate seniority; civil servants and military officials
Those below the rank of envoys who serve as military commanders are called "military commanders", indicating their junior qualifications. Ye An belongs to the latter group with relatively junior qualifications.
But his military command is the Tiancha military command at the road level. In a sense, he has the authority to control the entire Qinfeng Road military force.
It's just that it's useless to give Ye An such a big power. Unless the party members come over, it will be a capital crime for him to mobilize troops and horses without permission. The only troops that can be mobilized are the troops from Ganliang and Liangzhou. Otherwise, the entire Qinfeng Road
Doesn’t it mean that the world will be in chaos?
Of course, after Ye An ascended the throne, he had the right to appoint and remove personnel for the garrison in Ganliang and Gansu prefectures. Although Ganliang and Liang prefectures were often plundered by party members, fortunately they were already poor there, just because of their special location.
During this period, there was no movement from the party members.
Ye An's promotion of Ganliang was not easy, or it was a political exchange in itself. No one knew that Ye An had made a deal with Liu E from the beginning...
People have a dark side. Ye An will not admit his dark side, but he also knows that this dark side can never be erased. Even if no one in the world knows it, Liu E understands it clearly.
He got the news before Fan Zhongyan came to the throne, and secretly informed Liu E in the palace. Ye An used pacifying the matter as a bargaining chip to get Liu E to agree to let him go out for a while.
It is definitely possible to go out, but the place to go out is decided by oneself. This is an extremely incredible thing for both the Tian family and the court officials.
Where are you in the court? Your authority in heaven is like your rolling pin waving your fingers like an arm?!
But when Ye An showed that he would successfully convince the officials and asked Fan Zhongyan to give up his remonstrance for a short time, Liu E decisively agreed.
She is not afraid of a direct minister like Fan Zhongyan, on the contrary, she has some appreciation for him. After all, there is a saying in the old book of the Tang Dynasty: "A son cannot help but criticize his father, and a minister cannot help but criticize the king."
Fan Zhongyan was a critic and a loyal minister. Although Liu E didn't like it, she had to admit that he was good. However, it was best not to have such a "good minister" appear in front of her.
Because Liu E knew very well that the price of not belittling him was to receive his memorials from time to time, and the content of the memorials was what she disliked the most, so she was so decisive in making a "deal" with Ye An.
Then there was that weird scene in the court...
Fan Zhongyan petitioned Liu E to return power to Zhao Zhen, and Ye An also went out to agree, but he had warned the officials beforehand to give up this opportunity to take charge.
In this way, Zhao Zhen achieved his goal of gaining fame and became a "filial son" praised by the world, Liu E also successfully resolved the short-term crisis, and Ye An also achieved his goal of going out to enjoy life.
In the end, everyone got what they wanted, except Fan Zhongyan who was demoted to Chenzhou.
Ye An didn't think this was a bad thing. Since Zhao Zhen couldn't be in charge anyway, why should he take it by force? Why not use this opportunity to stabilize Liu E and at the same time increase Zhao Zhen's composure and patience.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye An was promoted and demoted secretly by Liu E, but Ye An also gained a good reputation. Even the people in Xinlingfang would praise Ye An from afar when they saw him: "Ye Hou is so courageous."
!”
Not everyone has the courage to speak out in the court to remonstrate and offend the saint. Even the censors who used to keep an eye on the Tian family kept silent, let alone other civil and military courtiers?
It seems that the people of Tokyo City are well-informed about what happens in the court. No one is a fool. They naturally know what happens in the court and the pros and cons.
What Ye An did was beyond everyone's expectations. This "fearless" spirit instantly awes people, but they don't know the deal behind it.
Ye An, who had gained a good reputation, immediately ordered the guests to be closed behind closed doors after returning home. No one was welcome. The door of the Hou Mansion was closed tightly. Even Cao Yi and Li Zunxu were rejected when they came.
What is this doing? It is obviously to explain to Tianjia that his actions will not benefit others, and at the same time he does not want to implicate others, so Ye An's reputation becomes even better.
Only Liu E, who knew the truth, sneered after hearing the news, which scared Lan Jizong and the surrounding palace people to tremble.
They didn't know the reason for Liu E's sneer. In her opinion, the biggest winner in this "deal" was Ye An. His good reputation in Tokyo was enough to surpass Yan Shu, Wang Zeng and others!
Only Fan Zhongyan, who was demoted to Chenzhou, could rival him.
"Ye An, Ye Changsheng! As cunning as a bastard!"
But even Liu E, who knew she was being used, had no choice. She was the one who compromised in the first place, so she could only break her teeth and swallow it. Otherwise, where would the dignity of the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty go?!
There was only one question that Liu E didn't understand. Why did Ye An demote himself? Or he went to Ganliang Prefecture, which was a barren land for the Song Dynasty. In addition to breaking into Dangxiang territory, letting Dangxiang people
There is no benefit other than having trouble sleeping and eating.
That piece of land was not important in the eyes of Liu E and the courtiers of the Song Dynasty. There was an enclave on the left and right. Although it was close to Qinfeng Road, the other three sides were almost surrounded by the land of the Dangxiang people, and they were often harassed by the Dangxiang people.
.
If Li Deming hadn't been unwilling to break up with the court now, he might have taken Ganliang for his own use. Even if he had such a piece of land, he would still be wary of it. He would also have to spend money and food to feed people and raise troops. It was really not worth the loss.
Someone in the court had already sent the two Huawai Prefectures to Li Deming. Of course, Li Deming had to pay a considerable price. The prefectures could be sent out, but the people of Gansu and Liang Prefectures had to all move inward. How could this be done?
Increasing the population of Qinfeng Road is not a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty.
However, there was only one person in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who argued hard and firmly disagreed with giving away the two states of Gansu and Liang. That person was Cao Yongli, who had held on to the post of Privy Councilor for a long time.
It's a pity that Cao Yongli was demoted. After Zhang Qi came to power, he obeyed Liu E's advice and even went too far. He overthrew everything Cao Yongli had insisted on before...
It was also because of this desperation that Ye An had to go to Ganliang and Ganzhou, otherwise he didn't know what would happen to him.
