Chapter 1532 King Chu: He has many good generals and talents, and there is no shortage of them.
Chapter 1531 The King of Chu: He has many great generals and talents, including Jia Ziyu!
Time flies, and the years are like songs.
Unknowingly, the time has entered the beginning of April in the first year of Jianxing. Late spring has gone away, the weather has gradually entered summer, and the vast sky has become increasingly clear and clear.
The edict of withdrawal issued by the cabinet to the Pingliao army has been rushed to Shengjing six hundred miles away. Xie Zaiyi and others also reorganized their troops and quickly set off towards the land of Guanzhong.
Finally, on the tenth day of April in the first year of Jianxing, the army arrived near Shenjing City.
On this day, the sky was bright and clear, and the sky was clear. In the late spring of the first year of Jianxing, the hot sunlight shone on the earth, and the grass was green and green.
There are rows of willows and green trees on both sides of the official road, and only the green branches and leaves can be seen swaying in the wind. Under the blue brick and stone Ba Bridge, the sparkling river water is crystal clear, and a few swimming fish can be seen, chasing the water and grass.
Extremely joyful.
On both sides of a straight and wide official road, one can see flags covering the field, forests of swords and spears, and armor with black scales shining in the sunlight, dazzling people's eyes.
A large number of generals wore vermilion flags on their bodies, rode horses with maroon manes, and galloped towards the Shenjing City in neat military appearance.
Shenjing City, East Gate
It can be seen that on the towering city gate, the King of Chu is wearing a dragon robe and a beam crown, standing under a light yellow umbrella, holding a monocular telescope in his hand, looking at the winding official road.
marching troops.
Li Zan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Gao Zhongping, the second assistant of the cabinet, accompanied him. Their resolute and calm faces were full of endless hope.
Lu Jiang, Qi Kun, Lin Ruhai and other cabinet ministers, as well as officials from the six ministries and nine ministers, all stood on the top of the towering city wall, looking eagerly at the army on the straight official road.
Jia Heng was dressed in a python suit with gold threads and black and red satin, and a wingless crown with a mountain shape on his head. He stood on the city wall with an aggressive gaze, looking at the majestic and orderly army.
A feeling of emotion inevitably welled up deep in my heart.
King Chu held one hand on the top of the city wall, his resolute and fair face showing endless hope.
As long as the army is reorganized, some of the meritorious generals in the Beijing Camp can be raised as high-ranking officials with generous salaries and gradually take control of the military power in the Beijing Camp.
The army of the Beijing camp marched forward mightily in front of the sacred city of Jing. Under the Chinese army banner with the word "Xie" written on one side, the general in maroon-red mountain-shaped armor was the first general of the Han Dynasty. It was Xie Zaiyi, the first-class loyal and diligent Hou of the Han Dynasty. At this moment
Riding on the saddle, holding a rein in his hand, his resolute and majestic face was full of dust, but his eyes were bright and sharp, as if filled with divine light.
"I have seen you, long live your Majesty." Xie Zaiyi said loudly with a solemn expression on his face, his eyes piercing under his sword-shaped brows.
Behind him are more than 100,000 troops. At this moment, they are also saluting the King of Chu on the city wall.
For a moment, the mountain shouted for long live. At this moment, it was almost deafening and resounded throughout the wilderness.
Hearing the cry of "Long Live the Mountain" from below, the King of Chu's fair and sinister face showed an abnormal blush, and he said loudly: "All officers and men are safe."
As he listened to the mountain's cry of long live the mountain, the new emperor felt his emotions agitated and found it difficult to control himself.
Jia Heng stared at the soldiers below, feeling incomprehensible.
Now that the generals have returned to Beijing and the soldiers and horses have gathered in Shenjing, the time is almost ripe.
As the King of Chu shouted to get up, all the generals and commanders below stood up one after another. Amidst the sound of armor leaves clashing, their movements were orderly and uniform.
A monstrous evil aura from a veteran of many battles emitted invisibly, making all the Han civil and military ministers on top of the city look shocked.
Li Zan's eyes were piercing, and he stared at the generals and soldiers below, thinking secretly in his heart, this is really a division capable of hundreds of battles, full of killing intent.
If it is not used by the country, but only obeys the orders of foreign ministers, I am afraid it will be a hidden danger to the country.
At this time, an eunuch came down from the top of the city wall, straightened his neck, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please ask Zhongqin Hou Xie Zaiyi, the commander of the Liao army, to come to the city gate tower to speak."
Hearing this, Xie Zaiyi dismounted from his horse, threw the reins in his hands to the retinue beside him, and trotted upward.
As he spoke, he hurried up to the city gate tower, saluted the young emperor in dragon robes, and said, "I have seen your majesty. Long live your majesty. Long live your majesty."
King Chu's resolute and sinister face showed an approachable smile. He stretched out his hand to give a hand and said loudly: "Thank you, my lord, please get up. I haven't seen you for a long time."
The person in front of me is also a close confidant of Jia Ziyu, but he is already a first-class marquis. After this battle, he can be named a third-class Duke, so it can be regarded as a new start.
"Since we left Liaodong, the military affairs have been initially decided, and the sage's demeanor is even better than in the past." Feeling the affectionate attitude of the King of Chu, Xie Zaiyi also took advantage of the situation and said.
King Chu nodded, with warm eyes, and said: "Xie Hou, have all the soldiers and horses from the capital camp been mobilized this time?"
Xie Zaiyi nodded and said: "Except for the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp who are stationed in Shengjing City to jointly govern Liaodong with the border troops, all the elite soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp have returned to Shenjing to guard the emperor.
Que."
The King of Chu's eyes were firm, and he nodded and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War are jointly planning the matters of rewards and pensions for generals who have made meritorious service and died in battle. Xie Hou, follow me to the palace. I have arranged a banquet in Xihe Palace for you.
All of you here will take care of the school."
Xie Zaiyi nodded, his eyes were deep, and he whispered: "Yes, Your Majesty."
There are no dramas where soldiers and generals do not know the emperor's orders, but only know the orders of generals.
Just like that, accompanied by desolation and the sound of distant horns, the Liao army marched towards the capital camp in a mighty manner.
Some meritorious generals followed Xie Zaiyi to Xihe Palace.
Jia Heng's eyes flickered, and he quietly watched the king of Chu perform the drama of mutual respect between king and minister not far away.
Here, the King of Chu took Xie Zaiyi's arm and headed towards the city. At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, they would probably think that Xie Zaiyi was the main contributor to the pacification of Liaodong.
And Jia Heng, who was previously crowned the county king due to his meritorious service, was just a supporting role.
Jia Heng's face was expressionless, with a hint of ridicule in his stern eyes, and he followed the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty towards the Xihe Palace.
At this moment, a variety of dishes are already placed in Xihe Palace.
King Chu came to a table and sat down. His handsome and fair face showed the meaning of prosperity.
Jia Heng sat on an embroidered pier covered with mattresses in the corner, picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup, took a sip of tea, and quietly observed the conversation between King Chu and Xie Zaiyi and others.
The King of Chu, served by the eunuch, poured a glass of wine into a wine cup and said to the civil and military ministers present: "My lords, I would like to offer a glass of wine to all the generals who died in the Liaodong battlefield."
As he spoke, amidst the sound of "clatter", drops of wine from the blue and white porcelain wine glass fell on the floor as clear as water, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn for a while.
The civil and military ministers present had solemn expressions, their eyes paused slightly, and they looked steadily at the King of Chu, feeling incomprehensible.
Immediately, the King of Chu once again signaled the eunuch on the side to pick up the wine cup and pour another glass. He glanced at the generals in the palace and said loudly: "With this glass, I pay tribute to the loyal and Qinhou Hou and other meritorious generals."
Xie Zaiyi's face turned solemn, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."
King Chu stopped using the wine cup, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Cao Bianjiao, who was sitting on the embroidered pier not far away. Seeing his handsome face and heroic temperament, he felt incomprehensible for a moment.
His prowess and prowess are extraordinary, not inferior to Jia Ziyu's.
The Han Dynasty has many good generals and talents, and there is no shortage of Jia Ziyu!
Jia Heng was sitting at the side, holding a blue and white porcelain wine cup, looking at the King of Chu quietly.
At this time, the King of Chu toasted several generals with several glasses of wine, his expression was in a trance, and his eyes seemed a little drunk.
At this moment, under the pillars with two light yellow curtains hanging not far away, Qiu Liang, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, stood with his sword in hand. Under his stern and thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Jia Heng and the general from the Beijing camp who had returned from his class.
"Play the Crown to Celebrate".
Sooner or later, he will cut off these members of the Jia Party one by one, and restore peace to the Han Dynasty!
Qiu Liang raised a blue and white porcelain wine cup and took a sip. However, when his eyes flickered, a cold light shone.
At this moment, after the King of Chu paid tribute to all the generals, he ordered Sang Yao and said loudly: "Mr. Sang, pass the order."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sang Yao responded quickly, unfolded the light yellow silk in his hand, and recited in a high-pitched voice: "The Emperor of Heaven carries the emperor, and the edict says: The first-class loyal and diligent Hou Xie Zaiyi,
The brave Fang Yi led the army to conquer Liao, personally led Xiong Zhuan, beat the flag and beheaded the generals. When Liaodong was settled, he took charge of the border areas and smoothed the situation. After hard work and meritorious service, he promoted the first-class loyal and diligent Marquis Xie Zaiyi to the title of Duke of Liao. I admire this."
??????????.??????
Jia Heng listened to the imperial edict on the side, and a strange meaning inevitably appeared on his fair face.
This King of Chu clearly wanted to create a wedge between him and Xie Zaiyi, otherwise he would never be granted the title of Duke of Liao.
As for this number, he didn't know it before, and it was obviously deliberately hidden from him.
But, what’s the point of using this method that can’t be put on the table?
"Long live your Majesty Xie, my humble minister, long live long live." Xie Zaiyi stood up, clasped his fists towards the King of Chu and responded with excitement in his voice.
From being an ordinary city gate captain to being the Duke of the country today, his achievements can be said to be well-established and shining in the annals of history.
King Chu's eyes were warm and he said with a smile: "Duke Liao, please get up quickly."
Sang Yao began to read out the edict of titles to Kang Hong, the admiral of Hebei Province, and Wei Che, the admiral of the Jiangnan Navy.
The two of them were successfully granted the title of third-class earl, also a third-class knight.
If it were normal, it might be worthy of ecstasy, but if Qiu Liang was also awarded the title of third-class earl not for military merit, it would seem a lot shabby.
Jia Heng's face was extremely indifferent, his eyes flickered, and he listened quietly to Sang Yao reading out the decree drawn up by King Chu through the cabinet.
The cabinet adopts a harsh attitude when awarding relevant meritorious generals, or it may be said that it is gradually downplaying the importance of the Liaodong War.
Perhaps one day in the future, with the burial of Emperor Daxing, the aftermath of this battle will gradually dissipate.
Jia Heng's eyes paused slightly, staring at each of the generals, and accepted the imperial edict with joy on his face.
After Sang Yao finished reading the imperial edict, the King of Chu turned to look at the military generals below and said loudly: "All you meritorious generals, please take a seat first and let's have a banquet together."
All the generals in the palace stood up one after another, kowtowed to the King of Chu to express their gratitude, and then, without saying a word, sat down behind the tables with a dazzling array of dishes.
For a while, cups were pushed and cups were changed, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Because, although the two had just come out of the period of national mourning, the Daxing Emperor was not buried underground, and there was no sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music or dancing singers to accompany them.
In this way, a reception banquet for the Liao army lasted until the entire afternoon, when all the generals left the palace drunkenly.
At this moment, King Chu took a sip of tea, stared at Jia Heng who was sitting in the palace, holding a wine cup and sipping wine, and said: "Zi Yu, follow me to the inner study to talk.
"
Jia Heng put down the wine cup in his hand, his face paused slightly, he stood up, thinking thoughtfully, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The King of Chu did not say much else, left the case at the wine table, and headed towards the outer study.
At this moment, King Chu, with the support of Sang Yao, quickly entered the study and sat down on a red lacquered pear wood chair.
Jia Heng nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."
Under the sword-shaped eyebrows of King Chu, his sharp sword-like eyes stared at the young man in python suit. He seemed to be drunk and said: "Zi Yu, the capital camp needs to be readjusted. The previous twelve regiment camps were too complex and the personnel were not going well.
, the warp system needs to be reorganized.”
Jia Heng secretly thought that he was coming, and the Twelve Regiment Camps had already begun to move. The next step would be to kill the dog, and he would probably follow closely behind.
"Your Majesty, the Twelve Regiment Camps have been established since the time of Emperor Taizong. If we move them rashly, we are afraid that the morale of the army will be shaken and rumors will spread." Jia Heng was silent for a moment and advised.
The King of Chu said: "The current twelve regiments are not suitable for the conquest of Tibet and the Western Regions in the future. They will be adjusted together with the Nine Borders, but I don't know what the rumors are."
As the King of Chu spoke, there seemed to be a dangerous light flashing in his eyes that had a hint of sinister aura.
Is this threatening him?
For a moment, the study room in Hanyuan Hall fell into a brief silence.
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if we have to adjust the organizational structure of the 12th Regiment Battalion, I think we can ask the Military Aircraft Division to discuss it and come up with a charter. We must not act rashly."
The King of Chu's face brightened slightly, he nodded, and said warmly: "Then we will slowly work out a regulation. Zi Yu is right as he said. The capital camp has been established and cannot be changed hastily to prevent the soldiers and generals from causing chaos."
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he looked at King Chu quietly, with a cold feeling in his heart.
As expected, the King of Chu had already begun to think about gaining military power.
In other words, this is the only way for an emperor to reach the pinnacle of supreme power - centralization of power!
Jia Heng's heart was filled with coldness. His stern face remained motionless, and he cupped his hands and said, "The Holy Spirit is clear."
The King of Chu said: "Zi Yu, the dismantling of the Nine Borders is complicated. What I mean is that you, the Minister of Military and Aircraft, will personally supervise and oversee which troops can be replaced and which troops can be maintained. You should also come up with a strategy as soon as possible.
"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, several officers of the Military Aircraft Department can go deep into the nine borders, carefully observe the border situation, and then decide how to abolish it."
This is to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then adjust the personnel in the Beijing camp.
The King of Chu was silent for a moment and said: "A few military ministers can plan for a region, but they cannot plan for the overall situation. Ziyu is old enough to plan for the country. I will be able to check it out. I can rest assured."
Jia Heng thought for a moment, looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
King Chu nodded, looked at the young man in the python suit, and said, "Zi Yu, it's getting late. Zi Yu should go back and rest early."
Since Ziyu likes women, after he is relieved of his power, he will hang out with women in the back house, and don't try to get in touch with these military and political powers.
Recently, Xianning didn't just give birth to a son, so he just went to spend more time with her.
Jia Heng resigned without saying a word, turned around and left the inner study.
After crossing the threshold, he stood on the eaves of the corridor. He stood there for a long time, his face became gloomy, and his eyes flickered with coldness.
Chen Qin, there is a way to die!
Before he even thought about taking action, the new emperor was already sharpening his sword.
…
…
Jinyi Mansion, among the government offices——
It's early summer, the days are getting longer and warmer, and the cotton mattress curtains have long been removed outside the hall.
Qiu Liang was dressed in a beautifully woven flying fish suit and sat behind a lacquered wood desk. His face was as gloomy as iron, and a cold light could be seen in his eyes.
At this moment, a tall junior high school student in Jinyi quickly entered the hall and said loudly: "Commander, the investigation is out."
"How do you say that?" Qiu Liang frowned and looked at the Jinyi primary school with an aggressive gaze and asked.
The Jinyi primary school student looked a little mysterious and said, "Jia Zhu's wife has given birth to a child in the past few days."
"The Jia family has given birth to too many children. Isn't that strange?" Qiu Liang said coldly.
"Commander Rongzhen, Jia Zhu has been dead for almost ten years." The small schoolmaster looked anxious and said quickly.
Qiu Liang raised his eyebrows, his eyes as sharp as a falcon's, and asked, "What do you mean? You gave birth to a child, what kind of child was born?"
The primary school teacher nodded and said, "The children seem to be twins."
"Dragon and Phoenix twins!" Qiu Liang suddenly heard these words, his expression froze, almost as if he was struck by thunder, and his heart suddenly stirred up a storm.
Damn it, it’s a dragon and a phoenix again!
Are all the dragons and phoenixes in the world gathered together?
Then there is only one possibility, it must be Jia Ziyu’s seed!
This person has always been romantic and lustful, even the female nuns in his family temple would not be spared, so it is normal for him to commit adultery with a widowed widow and give birth to a son.
If in the past Qiu Liang had a flash of inspiration in his mind and classified Empress Song and Zhen Qing, who were both twins, into one person, then now he is almost 100% sure.
Qiu Liang's expression kept changing, and under his thick eyebrows, there were dark clouds in his eyes. Now he should go to the palace to face the Holy One and report this matter to the Holy One.
This gave the Holy Emperor a certain direction of speculation. The former Empress Song and Li Wan of Daoxiang Village both gave birth to a pair of twins.
Then the Holy One will naturally become suspicious. At that time, once he thinks of Queen Zhen, he will be thunderous and furious!
Thinking of this, Qiu Liang felt a fire burning in his heart.
