Three hundred and twentieth eight chapters cage Wen Luowu
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty also became famous for a while in the early years of Hongwu and Yongle. Now it has been many years since the vassal kings were summoned to the capital for court invitations. On the contrary, the three divisions still had the responsibility of supervising the vassal kings, let alone leaving the fiefdom for nothing.
, even if a person wants to walk outside the palace incognito, it is a major event that will alarm the local government. Although the king is nominally a role that the princes and princes have to bow to the ground to pay homage to, he can hold the same hand as Zhuang Jian.
The heavy troops of Datong General Soldiers are really incomparable.
Therefore, Xu Xun felt relieved after Zhuang Jian talked about the military rations. The war in Xuanfu was tense before, and a steady stream of military pay and food supplies were sent to Xuanfu. Datong was somewhat unable to take care of it.
Wang's ten shi of grain was a timely help. With such a personal favor, it was not surprising that Zhuang Jian was the matchmaker.
"Although Mr. Zhuang said yes, he was not very affectionate, but we should be more cautious about this kind of thing in the future." Zhang Yong coughed dryly with a half-smile, raised the wine cup in front of him and took a sip, and then said, "The emperor's temper is indeed true.
I love novelty in everything, but this kind of kabuki is no matter how well trained it is. Compared with the gaobangji in the palace, it is just a bit wild. But the city of Kyoto is so big, where can the emperor go? What's more?
, after all, he is a person who came from the feudal prince's palace. If the bosses notice it and start to stir up troubles, the emperor will not look good, and the king will be punished, but the real unlucky one is you, Commander Zhuang."
Since Zhang Yong had already played a bad role, Xu Xun saw that Zhuang Jian was uncomfortable on his face, so he naturally played a bad role: "In the previous battle, the Datong soldiers made great achievements, and when the court recounted their achievements, General Zhuang was indispensable.
But how did this war end up like this? I think Mr. Zhuang must know the details. The emperor is happy, but there must be some people who are not happy. They are afraid that they won’t be able to find a reason to attack you. Mr. Zhuang is in the prime of his life.
Yes, that’s why Eunuch Zhang said the word caution.”
Zhuang Jian's complexion, which alternated between blue and white, finally returned to his natural state. To be fair, he accepted the few kabuki plays sent by the king. Didn't he think that Xu Xun must be young and dissolute, and wanted to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha to please him? Although
It was boring to have a hot face against a cold butt, but now that Xu Xun had said the word "big use", his heart couldn't help but feel warm again.
"What Eunuch Zhang taught you is what Master Xu reminded you."
He just left the table and bowed deeply. Seeing Xu Xun standing up and giving him a hand, he asked him to sit down with a smile. Then he sat down again, but he couldn't help but blame himself for being confused. When the half-truths and half-falsehoods came out again,
After Xu Xun and Zhang Yong's words, he finally understood that King Dai's flattery this time was beyond his control, so the conversation changed to another important matter.
"Although Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, allocated a lot of troops to Lord Xu this time, and these defeated troops in the past have made many achievements, the crime of previous defeats is really rare after Tumubao... I don't know what the imperial court thinks about it.
Xuanfu, what will be the arrangement?"
Xu Xun had discussed with Zhang Yong before the Xuanfu Youth, and now Zhuang Jian asked about it. He and Zhang Yong exchanged glances, and then asked directly: "Then what kind of arrangement does General Zhuang think can be more appropriate?"
?”
Although Zhuang Jian wanted to say that he was not in his position and would not seek political advice, but looking at Xu Xun's half-smiling expression and Zhang Yong's obviously arrogant look, he finally took back his words and thought about it.
After a moment, he sighed and said: "The reason why I moved to Datong back then was because Zhang Jun, who was the commander-in-chief of Datong at that time, was unable to resist, which allowed the bandits to plunder Datong. They are both important towns on nine sides, and the north of Datong is a vast plain.
, Xuanfu has everything in front, and it is only because Juyongguan is behind it that it is named the first town. If I hadn’t told you, the court would most likely order me to guard Xuanfu this time, but Datong would be difficult to handle.
Already."
Having said this, Zhuang Jian paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "So, in my opinion, Zhang Jun has lost hundreds of battles before, so he can be punished and make meritorious service, but Xuanfu should still be cautious when replacing people, not to mention
Many of the people who performed meritorious deeds with Mr. Xu this time were his generals. The court should also think about this. Besides, I am not afraid of exposing myself to shortcomings. Even myself, among the general soldiers of the nine sides,
There is no one as honest as Zhang Jun. Mr. Xu and Eunuch Zhang might as well go and find out. All the proceeds from his eunuchs are used to help the poor soldiers under his command. In addition to various pensions, his wife and children in his hometown wear old clothes all year round.
The woman next to me is an old concubine who has served for many years."
Although Zhuang Jian's words had some small calculations, they were more because they were both commander-in-chief and prestigious border generals, so they couldn't help but feel sympathy for each other. At this time, he was drunk and started to talk. When he saw Xu Xun and
Zhang Yong had no intention of stopping him
Thinking about it, he poured another full glass of wine, then put down the wine cup and said: "In recent years, the little prince's tribes have invaded and harassed the border every year. There is almost no one among the nine borders who is not harmed, and guarding these places
We are all old at war.
It is not impossible for a person to slack off alone, but is it possible that everyone is slacking off? No, it is just because the bandits know all about our reality, but we know nothing about their movements. I am not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Xu.
prohibited trade
He has done the same thing, but besides making money, he also wanted to find out what each department meant."...
"If those bosses in Beijing heard what Mr. Zhuang said, they would definitely denounce it as the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Although Xu Xun said this half-jokingly, Zhuang Jian couldn't help but feel very angry, and immediately sneered: "Among the elders in the court, the one who knows the military is not Liu Shangshu from the Ministry of War, but from the Ministry of Husbandry."
Ma Shangshu, he was the governor of Shaanxi
For many years, he had served as the general commander of the Yan-Sui, Ningxia, Gansu and Trilateral Trilateral Governments, so he had real qualifications. However, even if he knew about the situation of the bandits, it was only an old man’s experience! As for Liu Shangshu, he had only served as the governor-general of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi.
, for the nine-sided military pressure
There is no real proficiency at all. The little prince led the crowd and convinced all the troops, and even reached out to the three guards of Duoyan. But what about our Ming Dynasty?
Blindly shrinking and shrinking, blindly persisting, but today's Mongolians
They are no longer Wu Xia Amen. They have gradually become accustomed to firearms and have gradually become good at attacking cities and territories. Otherwise, our Ming Dynasty spent so much money to build the Great Wall, from the two sides of Dabian to the sub-border. How about this battle of Xuanfu? New
Open your mouth
The Great Wall suddenly had a big hole! The reason is very simple. The newly opened Great Wall is a secondary side, far from being entirely made of stones like the large side of Juyongguan, and the imperial court was also unable to sustain itself. It was destroyed this time
, that is, reuse
To repair the soil, without Zhang Jun, at least half of this expense would fall into the pockets of each layer. Instead of spending this money, why would he put more effort into the grassland? If Zhang Jun had not been misled by the intelligence, he would not have done it before.
So defeated
miserable!"
Although Xu Xun was rushed out of Beijing this time, he went from Xuanfu to Zhangjiajiakou Fort, then sent troops to Shacheng to fight at Qingshui River, and finally joined forces with reinforcements from both sides to win the battle. It can be said that he
What he valued most was not just his military exploits that allowed him to truly stand firm in the court, but the personal connections at all levels in the army. Since he had won over Zhang Jun, a defeated general, he had no intention of bringing such a person back.
To be idle, and to be together
At that time, Datong Commander-in-Chief Zhuang Jian was also high on his list.
"The fact that I was able to say this just now shows that Zhuang Jian is somewhat convinced."
Even though it's six
The weather was late in the month, but after Zhuang Jian, who was very drunk, had settled down, Zhang Yong habitually walked out side by side with Xu Xun with his hands folded. After saying this, he suddenly stopped and glanced around.
Said to Xu Xun: "Yes
Okay, this time we retreated if it wasn't for Yang Yiqing's suspicions about the troops, we wouldn't have been able to retreat so smoothly. In addition, when I picked Zhuang Jian to send troops before, we definitely couldn't have succeeded without Yang Yiqing, let alone follow him.
one
The block is gone. This man has a great reputation in Shaanxi. He is a real talent with unpredictable opportunities..."
"Time will never come again." Xu Xun took over Zhang Yong's words and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, some of the elders in the court are already dim."
"I knew you would say that!" Zhang Yong smiled knowingly, and Shi Shiran followed Xu Xun a few steps forward before asking, "Then what are you going to do?"
"Yang Yiqing was able to write at the age of seven. He was once famous in Tianting. The Xian Temple specially asked famous teachers to teach him. Then he was awarded the title of Yuan at the age of fourteen and the Jinshi at the age of eighteen. It sounds like everything is going smoothly, but you know that he
What was your name when you became a Jinshi?
Times? The ninth and fifth place in the top three, which is considered to be the last. Because of this, he was not selected as a Hanlin Shujishi. In addition, Ding You had many twists and turns in his official career. Such a man with real talent and learning has always been suppressed by others. This
The two of us will be contaminated with soil again
After we return home, we will definitely be at the forefront of the storm. If nothing else, the censor and the ministers will definitely have to fight for the first wave."
Having said this, seeing Zhang Yong nodding thoughtfully, Xu Xun didn't
He made it clear again, but in his heart he was thinking about Shi Daishan, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who had proposed to become an official for more than seventy or eighty times. Back then, Emperor Hongzhi was very tolerant of his old ministers and would never let them go, but Zhu Houzhao hated relying on his old ministers and selling them off. If it was done properly,
When things got serious, Zhu Houzhao would definitely be angry with Yang Yiqing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although the title of Left Deputy Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was just for good looks, it was still considered a qualification after all, which was enough to change the capital to the capital.
And with the help of the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a springboard, it is not a problem for Yang Yiqing to take charge of the Sixth Department and then enter the cabinet. The important thing is that Yang Yiqing is not good-looking, but his forthright temperament is compared to Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua, who is a talented person.
He has a lot of spleen and stomach, so he doesn’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back!
After this day's banquet, Xu Xun still did not set off from Datong rashly, and also persuaded Yang Yiqing to attend the court with him. After four days, he finally waited for the arrival from Beijing.
Gu Dayong and Hui
Obviously, in addition to Zhu Houzhao's comprehensive statement and the written edict urging him to return, there is also the news that Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the rites, reported a heat stroke and was bedridden...).
