Chapter 334 Gong Gong Dukes, Rolling Yellow Sand (1)

Today, since the Tai'an City Peace Temple was opened, it has ushered in the small dynasty meeting with the largest number of people.

The Secretary of the Central Secretariat Qi Yanglong, the Minister of the Secretariat Zhao Youling, the Minister of the Menxia Provincial Department of the People's Republic of China, the Minister of the Left Master Huan Wen, the Minister of the Left Master Chen Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Yin Maochun, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the General of the Southern Expedition Wu Chongxuan, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace Wen Shouren, the Grand Secretary of the Dongyuan Pavilion Yan Jiexi, the Prince of Changshan Zhaoyang, the Duke of Yan State Gao Shizhi, the Duke of Huaiyang Song Daoning, the Minister of the Ministry of War Tang Tiexhuang, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites Jin Lanting and others. These Beijing officials holding court handles are all familiar faces in this room.

The former Qingzhou General Hong Lingshu, who was transferred to the capital to lead the rank of Pingnan General, is currently the governor of Lianghuai Road, and Han Lin, the governor of the Strategic Initiative, and Lu Shengxiang, Xu Gong and others who went to Jizhou to be responsible for the northern border defense military affairs, were relatively unfamiliar faces.

All together, the civil and military are brilliant.

The young emperor of Liyang, Zhao Zhuan, changed into a casual outfit after retreating from the court. He came from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. He had a very good craftsmanship. Although he was not as magnificent as the auspicious clothes of the court, he had a unique charm of Jiangnan.

Chaos arose in the Central Plains. King Zhao Bing of Yan Zhi raised an army to rebel. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers who left the jurisdiction of the southern border were unstoppable. They crossed the Guangling River in almost unblocked and crossed the Guangling River north and south in the old capital of West Chu. The Chunxue Tower incident made the court's meticulous conclusion of Guangling Road to the east. Not only did the two civil and military leaders and officials in the name of Guangling Road become prisoners, but more importantly, a large group of meritorious generals of Liyang and surrendered ministers of the Jiangshi of West Chu were controlled. This directly led to Zhao Bing taking over Guangling Road with almost nominal soldiers and bloodless actions. Wu Chongxuan, Lu Sheng, like Yan Zhenchun, the famous generals, struggled to defeat others. Guangling Road was reborn again. It can even be said that overnight, King Zhao Bing of Yan Zhi almost occupied half of the country.

However, whether the young emperor was in Wuying Hall or the small dynasty meeting in the Yangshen Temple, there was no such a frustration as Li Yang official imagined. Not only was he calm, but he even tried his best to cover it up, he still showed a bit of eagerness to try. Obviously, this young literary emperor still had the heroic blood of the monarchs of the Zhao Shi in his bones. At this time, the emperor of the Zhao family had a letter of announcement from the rebels, which was very ruthless, and listed all kinds of crimes of his crimes of being guilty of being a new king of Li Yang after he ascended the throne. He was nepotism, rewarded and punished unfairly, valued the use of slander ministers, and fought over Zhao Shi in total ten major crimes. The young emperor gently put down the edict, raised his head and smiled, "It is said that this thing was written by the eldest grandson of the Song clan?"

In the Northern Xu and Southern Song Dynasty, Song Yushu, a son of the Song family, was very literary. He had long heard of it even in the officialdom of Tai'an City.

Tantanweng, who once praised Song Yushu in person, glanced at the "Zhongzheng and Peaceful" plaque in the temple, and then smiled and said, "This kid is in the hands of a man like Zhao Bing, so he can only write such a kind of perverted article. Unfortunately, if he works in my Liyang Hanlin Academy or six new pavilions, he will definitely write a chapter that will last forever. He can not only contribute to the world and benefit the people, but also have a firm place in the literary world. He will never be so dusty and go to be a real penman."

The young emperor nodded, "It's a pity. Not long ago, I promised Yan Shizhi to recommend this Song family jade tree, which was born in Shilin, Jiangnan, to him. I guess it's going to be dragged on."

The emperor knew the Yan Shishi in his mouth. Of course, it was Yan Chiji, the new Hanlin Academy. Now the Hanlin Academy has recently built six-value houses in the six ministries of the Shangshu Province. Huangmenlang, the big and small, are divided into classes to prevent the most noble officials in Liyang who are regarded as the place where the prime minister is in a simple conversation. Yan Chiji is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the six-department affairs. Although he does not have the title of his official position, his path to advance is very obvious. Compared with the three first-class three who entered the six-department offices in the officialdom, Li Jifu, Gao Tingshu, and Wu Congxian, Yan Chiji has shown some signs of taking action later. And the young emperor's words are also clear.

Too many things worth chewing on are revealed, and in addition to the unblocked intimacy with his brother-in-law Yan Chiji, the fate of the Song family in Guangling Road seems to have been finalized at this moment. Since it is just a "drag", the Song family, which first defected to the remnants of the Jiang family and rebels, has been able to escape the disaster because of Song Yushu, a young handsome man who has Jian Zai Zhen, after quelling the rebellion, and the ascending passage of the Liyang officialdom will not be blocked and cut off. I believe that after today's small court meeting, the Song family, which is thousands of miles away, will surely hear the sound of the thunderstorm that started in the palace soon, and will most likely feel relieved.

The young emperor looked at Tang Tiexhuang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was located in the back, and asked gently: "Tang Tiexhuang, when will the Dazhu Kingdom set out from Liaodong to enter Beijing? Is there any definite news from the Ministry of War?"

Tang Tiexhuang replied cautiously, "I only know that Dazhu Kingdom responded to the emergency of the Liao border between the two Liaos. The commander of the Beimang Eastern Front, Wang Sui, has made great changes recently and is ready to move, as if he is willing to move a lot. Dazhu Kingdom must be properly arranged before he can set off."

The young emperor nodded and comforted: "Sorry Gao Tingshu, the Ministry of War, wrote a document to inform the Dazhu Kingdom not to rush south. The border affairs of the two Liaos have always been the top priority of our dynasty, and we must not lose the big picture because of small things."

Tang Tiexhuang accepted the order in a deep voice, but his thoughts became heavier. The more he looked at His Majesty the Emperor, the more he was, the more he was, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War with the two big words Gu Dang on his forehead.

Now there is a saying circulating in the officialdom of Tai'an City, called "The Ministry of War has no luck after Gu Jiantang". It means that the big figures who presided over the Ministry of War after Gu Jiantang, almost no one had a smooth career. The Minister of Shang Lu Baijie first transferred Guangling Road to the Guangling Road, and then became the captive of the King of Yan Chi in Chunxue Tower. The Minister of the Assistant Xu Gong was first "exiled" to Liaodong, and in name, he patrolled the Northern Pass for the Emperor. In fact, he was undoubtedly excluded from the officialdom of the capital, especially the officialdom of the capital.

Outside the center of the court, Lu Shengxiang was the commander of the Southern Expedition as the Minister, but he had few military achievements from beginning to end. If he had not finally seen a few glances of gunpowder after "sending troops without authorization" in the later period, he would have become a laughing stock for the world. As for Chen Zhibao, who was between Gu Jiantang and Lu Baijie, was named king and vassal of Western Shu. He was originally considered unparalleled, but in the end he had some rebellion with Zhao Bing in the southern border, it would not be a good result.

It is not easy to live in the capital city, but it is not easy to be an official in the capital city. I will never deceive me if I sincerely do not.

Tang Tiexhuang looked at Cai Nan who was standing slightly forward intentionally or unintentionally, and was filled with mixed feelings. Last time, Wei Dong, Gong Huang and other General Gu's former subordinates broke up in Beijing, but this time Cai Nan had no intention of visiting Tang Tiexhuang when he entered Beijing. He stayed at the Mianlianzi Station located in the capital of Lianghuai Road.

The young emperor turned his head and smiled at the Minister of Rites Sima Puhua. In the third year of Xiangfu, the Ministry of Rites was promoted to the same rank as the Ministry of Personnel and Military Departments, and was superior to the Ministry of Criminals and Employment Departments. Sima Puhua naturally enjoyed many of the wonderful things of Lu Daolin and Yuan Guo, the former Minister of State for the Yuan Dynasty. When Zi was regarded as a literati emperor in the Central Plains, it was not aimless. Although he might not despise military officials, it was obvious that he attached importance to civil officials. The relocation of the Hanlin Academy and the elevation of the Ministry of Rites' yamen were both

It is a clear proof. The young emperor looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites and said earnestly: "The examination will be held in the spring of next year. The Ministry of Rites has an unavoidable responsibility. Can the candidates for the chief, vice president and officer have been determined? The scale of the spring examination has expanded a lot, and the number of scholars has been unprecedented. Sima Shangshu still needs to give a detailed charter as soon as possible. In addition to the fact that I will take a personal review, the Ministry of Rites may as well hand over the charter to Tantanweng, the seniors who presided over the spring examination many times."

Perhaps Li Yang was the old man who had no clear hope among the Minister of Rites, who was the most in the Minister of Rites, said in fear: "Your Majesty, the three-year spring examination is related to the cultural context of our dynasty. Although I have been in the Ministry of Rites for many years, I have never had the experience of presiding the spring examination. Besides, if I talk about experience, I think I am far from being familiar with the operation of the spring examination. In terms of knowledge, I am even more than Lord Zhongshu Ling and Grand Secretary Wen. If I talk about ability, I am not as good as Chen Shaobao and Yan Shishi. Your Majesty, I don't know how to choose the chief and vice president with my colleagues in the Ministry of Rites. It is not my talent in Li Yang, but just like a large bead curtain hanging at the door of a small house, which is dazzling and dazzling. I don't know how to choose. Therefore, I dare to affirm that Your Majesty personally appointed the candidate for the Spring Examination!"

Tantanweng listened to the heartfelt words of the Minister of Rites behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head and look out, stretching out a thumb.

This flattery suddenly made many people flatter.

Sima Puhua faced Tantanweng's gesture, smiled slightly, had a sincere look, and was flawless.

The young emperor closed his cuffs and smiled and said, "I will not add to the spring exam candidates. It will still be decided by your Ministry of Rites. If you have a headache, Sima Shangshu will communicate with the Secretary of the Secretariat Ling Tantanweng after he returns. However, in my opinion, the chief examiner of this conference exam needs to be respected, and the candidates who are responsible for dividing the rooms and checking the papers can be out of order. It may not be necessary to pay attention to qualifications. The Ministry of Rites, Hanlin Academy, and Imperial College can choose several young people to serve as each."

Sima Puhua, who was full of conscientious faces, quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The young emperor turned his sight and finally found Hong Lingshu, who would be slightly out of place with this small dynasty. After all, he was an official who had just entered Beijing from the local area. Hong Lingshu himself was one of the leaders of the Qing Party. The Qing Party had many ups and downs during the Yonghui period, especially after Lu Feijin, the Shangzhu Kingdom chose to marry the Xu family in the Northern Liang Dynasty, the Lu family moved to the northwest, causing everyone to be in danger of the entire Qingzhou government. Fortunately, the "old minister" Wen Taiyi was promoted to the Jing'an Road Strategic Envoy not long ago, so he was a little calmer. However, Hong Lingshu entered Beijing for the first time and was often dissatisfied with the officialdom of the capital, and he was inevitably depressed. The young emperor's voice became softer and he said slowly: "Have General Hong's house in Tai'an City been repaired?"

Hong Lingshu, who originally thought he was just a role in studying with the prince, was flattered and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the house arranged by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue officials was very good. There was no need for a slight change from the Wei Me, and the family members who entered the capital praised it. The emperor's kindness is so great that I am so grateful!"

The young emperor smiled and said, "Mr. Tang spent a lot of thought on this matter. General Hong would like to thank him if he wanted to thank him."

Upon hearing this, Hong Lingshu immediately clasped his fists to thank Tang Tiexhuang beside him. The latter only clasped his fists and returned the favor, without any polite words.

Hong Lingshu had a deep thought in his heart. This time he was promoted to Beijing and became one of the military generals of Ping. He was able to hold real power. Not without people jealous, because the advancement level of the military ministers in Liyang, especially the officialdom in the capital, was extremely limited. There were only two ways: one was to climb the Ministry of War and work in vain, and the other was to start from the chief lieutenant in the capital, and to take steps forward. The former was relatively simple and swift, but the minister was a big bottleneck, while the latter was to be down-to-earth.

The speed is slow, but as long as you become one of the three generals of the three characters of Zhengping Town, your future will be almost certain. As long as you can stand it, you can go up step by step when the boss in front reaches the age of abdication. On the contrary, the current Minister of War needs to serve as the deputy governor of the local government, and finally rely on your ability to compete for the position of Minister of War. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but like him, Hong Lingshu, he was promoted from a general of the first state to a name of Pingtou.

The general is an unreasonable but affectionate promotion. The reason is that the court needs to use the Qing Party in the hinterland of the Central Plains to appease the people under the situation where thousands of Central Plains scholars rushed to Northern Liang. This is the case with Wen Taiyi who left the capital, and the same is true for Hong Lingshu who entered the capital. Although Hong Lingshu is a real foreign household, he is not optimistic about the prospects of Tang Tiexhuang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. On the one hand, Wu Chongxuan's emergence, and on the other hand, Tang Tiexhuang's faction is too colorful.

Strong, Hong Lingshu's identity as a Qing Party can sometimes become a balanced official support for the temple, but the identity of the direct general of the Gu Party of Tang, means that the Dazhu Kingdom, Gu Jiantang, was almost unable to reach the top in the court on his lifetime. The court could tolerate a Dazhu Kingdom who was in charge of the military and political affairs of the two Liaos, and was under the roof of the outer roof of the pass with a Tang General who held the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but it was absolutely impossible for a Tang Shangshu to echo the inside and outside of General Gu.

Hong Lingshu would not be grateful because Tang Tiexhuang had put some thoughts on his house but was secretly informed. However, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to openly reveal it in an understatement, so Hong Lingshu could not let him think about it carefully.

The young emperor picked up the edict again, his face became serious, and he sneered: "Zhao Binggui is a vassal of the Zhao family, but he wants to be the traitor. I can tolerate the rebellion of Guanglingdao, the civil and military officials who defect to the remnants of the Jiang clan of Western Chu, and the Guanglingdao people who were swept by the war, but they can't tolerate the father and son of Zhao Bing and Zhao Zhu!"

The monarch of Li Yang paused for a moment, "Wu Chongxuan!"

Wu Chongxuan, who was burly and had no old appearance, said in a deep voice: "I am here!"

The young emperor said expressionlessly: "Shangshu Wu tells you about the situation in Guangling Road to all your beloved ministers."

Wu Chongxuan said without any haste: "Now that the rebel Zhao Bing has a total of 110,000 troops have entered the northern part of Guangling Road. In the next six months, at least 40,000 barbarians and young men from southern borders will enter the north of Guangling River. In addition to the current 20,000 Shu troops, about 30,000 Shu soldiers will rush to Guangling Road in the next six months. In addition, the two troops of the former general Song Li, the former general of Jizhou Yuan Tingshan, and the newly absorbed remnants of the Western Chu rebels, then at the end of the spring examination in the fourth year of Xiangfu, the number of rebels will reach as much as 260,000. The current number of troops stationed in Guangling Road is only about 120,000."
