Chapter 238 Who will supervise the army?
Li Jing seemed to see his thoughts and said warmly: "The battle to destroy Fujian is not the fault of Bian Hao, but the military supervisor Chen Jue. Wei Cen was not in military affairs, but was just a matter of making trouble. Therefore, you will bear the responsibility of the military supervisor this time."
"!!!"
Although Li Jingqian had expected this situation a few months ago, Li Jing was still shocked when he said it.
"Father, the child is young and cannot take on this important task. I hope my father will think twice and choose a capable minister!"
"Young? Your elder brother has already guarded the dead city alone at this age. Your second brother was also a military governor from Zhennandu. As for my father, I am already a one-sided person at your age. What's more, Bian Hao, old man from the army, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes."
"It's not a conclusion to talk about this matter with you today. In any case, we still have to let the court officials discuss it. Haven't you admire your elder brother as a general in command since childhood? My father has high hopes for you. If you want to command the army in the future, you should start with this army supervisor and get familiar with it first. Bian Hao is now a general with tens of thousands of troops. But then he also changed from a small seventh-rank chief clerk to a military supervisor, and then became a military governor step by step?"
Li Jing is good at temptation.
Li Yu's belly complained: "I admire my elder brother since I was a child and can lead troops? What a joke, why didn't I know that I admire this kind of admiration?"
Li Jing's words are reasonable. After all, every boy has the dream of becoming a general. He raised his arms and shouted, and the world will be decided by a battle. However, Li Yu is a time traveler, but how old is Li Jing older than Li Jing? How could he not tell how he induces his skills?
Then, for some reason, I thought of the second brother's whisper the second day after traveling, "What a pity, if I can support my body, I can resist you for a while."
At that time, I felt inexplicable. What harm can I bring if I stay in the palace and stay away from politics?
But Li Jing's words just now made him understand.
Today's saints are using the technique of balance again. They originally wanted to support Li Hongji to fight against Li Jingsui and Li Jingda. As a result, Li Hongji is too weird and grows up healthily on the land of Jiangbei. Now, punching the third uncle and kicking the fourth uncle has shown signs of being uncontrollable.
The reason why he is arrogant is that he relies on the soldiers in his hands.
So, Li Jing probably let himself gradually contact the army.
At that time, I will have Chengxintang as intelligence support. Even if the troops in my hands are inferior to the Tianxiong Army, I will still become an important pawn against the elder brother.
As for how the army comes?
Li Jing didn't say it, but Li Yu could guess it roughly.
Ma Chu is also a great country, with a population not as strong as the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue, but there are still at least four or five million people.
The Xiongwu Army has fought the battle to destroy Fujian. After another battle, its military strength will naturally be greatly improved. At that time, half or one-third of it will be given to Li Yu, and Bian Hao can directly recruit soldiers in Ma Chu territory.
"It's so conspiring. No wonder I'm so interested in Feng Dao's ideas. As long as the war on Ma Chu is successful, not only can I obtain a large area of territory, population, food, minerals and other resources, but I can even add a main force controlled by my own son. In time, Bian Hao, Lin Renzhao, and the three generals join forces, and they will not be afraid of anyone's challenge."
Li Yu remained silent. On the surface, he seemed to be digesting Li Jing's love of licking his calf, but in his heart he was thinking about how much benefits he could get from it.
Li Jing stood up and touched his head, then left with his hands behind his back.
What I thought in my heart was: "Hongji, it is because you can leave the site because of your outstanding talent, but I helped you up with one hand. The Li family has never lacked smart people. If I can help you up, I will naturally be able to support you. Third, fourth, you two, let me give up."
"Guo Wei's sneak attack? I have been on guard against this move. In the past, Lin Renzhao was temporarily in charge of the Baoxing Jiedu Army as the governor of Qinghuai. The two major towns were connected together. On the surface, it shocked my prince's child, but in fact it turned into pieces and moved most of the elite troops to the vicinity of Macheng near Wuchang. At the same time, Bian Hao was also asked to pay close attention to the direction behind it."
"If Guo Wei really dared to give up the three Jiedu army and went south, he would have to join forces with the three Jiedu army to attack on the three sides. At worst, he would send him money, grain and weapons to lead him into Shu. Anyway, they would no longer tolerate the fake Han Dynasty.
, the Western Shu army is weak and it is a fertile land. If you don’t believe these three people will not be moved.”
"Liu Chengyou, although I don't know what you want to buy in the gourd, I'm still very fond of playing with me!"
It was already dinner time for Li Yu to return to Chengxin Hall. Now that he has more and more things, Queen Zhong no longer forces him to go to Qingning Palace for dinner.
After eating some food, he walked slowly in the palace, while his mind kept thinking about what happened in the afternoon.
Whether it was Feng Dao or Li Jing, what they said was too much information, so that he, a time traveler, could not fully accept it.
He walked into the imperial garden without realizing it, and he was too lazy to care about it. He walked aimlessly, and the imperial garden at night was quiet and peaceful, with insects chirping, bright moon shining, and Li Yu's heart was quiet.
At this moment, after Feng Dao had dinner in the guest house, he was walking and chatting with Yang Ging in the yard, making food for food.
After returning to his room, he closed the door and saw a person standing in the corner, wearing a small hat in blue, which was the common servant dress in a guesthouse. His face was covered with a black scarf, leaving only two eyes outside.
Feng Dao was not surprised, but instead carefully confirmed whether the lower door was tied.
Then he sat down on the chair.
"Wait until autumn comes September 8th" Feng Dao Nian
"I will kill Jinhua after the flowers bloom" replied the man.
Everyone knows this poem, which was written by Huang Chao, a thief, who dragged the Tang Dynasty into the abyss of no return.
It is obvious to use it as a joint code at this moment. As for the homophone of Jin Jing, it is also intriguing.
The man stepped forward and said, "Meet the Grand Master, the Grand Master is so brave."
"Since you have inserted willow branches diagonally in the pane before going out, you will naturally know that someone will come."
"Master, what's the big thing?"
“It’s hard to say”
"My master said that if this matter is done, he should repay the Great Han Jinzhu for five million."
"This is to empty Dechang Palace," Feng Dao laughed.
"We cannot stay here for a long time. The villain first refuses. If the Grand Master summons him, that's enough." After saying that, he bowed his hand and pushed him slowly. When he approached the door, he listened quietly to the movement outside the door. Then he pulled the door bolt with one hand, took off the masked black scarf with the other, and slipped out.
From beginning to end, Feng Dao never saw his true identity.
After the court broke out on the second day, Li Jing summoned a group of important officials loyal to him to discuss state affairs.
Regarding Feng Dao's official statement this time, it was to be harmonious in diplomatic relations, communicate with the north and south, and even nominally placed grain orders with the Southern Tang Dynasty. The merchants who accompanied him also took the opportunity to scatter into the western market and colluded with local merchants.
Among them, the most visited was Baoning King's Red Spicy Shop.
It’s useless to have too many people. It’s originally limited sales. Even if you say that you are Liu Chengyou’s biological father, the Later Han Emperor Gaozu, you have to queue up later.
Pan Chenghou now almost doesn't care about the shop. The shopkeeper named Wei Deen is already complaining. Naturally, these late Han merchants dare not pretend to be Liu Chengyou's, but the brand he played is not bad at all. "The Empress Dowager's birthday is about to be up"
This is Liu Chengyou's mother, Liu Zhiyuan's wife, and he was known as Li Sanniang in history. The story of her and Liu Zhiyuan has always been a popular theme in drama and folk art. The Yuan song "White Rabbit" is based on this incident, and then it became more and more popular. In Li Yu's previous life, operas from all over the country were singing.
Li Yu of course cared about this kind of person. Wei Deen replied to these merchants who kept giving gifts to the empress dowager, "Since the Grand Tutor of the Dynasty came to my Tang Dynasty, my saints naturally wanted to pay tribute to each other. The gift of the lip was already ready, so I can take it away when the Grand Tutor returns to the court."
The ministers in the palace also talked about this. After the Later Han Dynasty in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty had been fighting for so many years, now the other party suddenly said that they wanted to be harmonious in diplomatic relations? The genius believed it!
But after talking for a long time, I could only guess that Liu Chengyou had to temporarily compromise with the Southern Tang because of the Three Jiedu rebellion.
Therefore, everyone thinks that they can talk about it after they have finished packing up Ma Chu.
In terms of the attitude of sending troops to Ma Chu, the opinions of the ministers in the court were clearly divided. Li Jing's important officials all agreed with Li Jingsui and Li Jingda and Song Qiqiu Alliance did not express it clearly.
Opinions, while Xiao Yan, Sun Sheng and other princesses clearly expressed their opposition to Zhou Zong's Xiaoyao Party, and did not say much about this.
Although they all agree and oppose each other has their own reasons, they both understand each other. The core of this matter is Bian Hao.
The prince was under twenty years old and was already the most ruthless man in the Southern Tang Dynasty. If he continued to fight, he would soon be promoted to the Privy Councilor and the Taiwei. At that time, he was the prime minister. The Chai family already had an envoy, and another authentic prime minister came. Liu Renshan, the Minister of War, could not support him alone.
So it is necessary to help Bian Hao up too. Unfortunately, the battle of the Fujian battle was almost ridiculous, which led to the Privy Council, which was responsible for military affairs, being ridiculed by the prince.
Especially the deputy envoy Li Zhenggu, who was originally incompatible with Chai Kehong, although Li Hongji could not remove him.
However, he often mocked him at the court meeting. The prince had the excellent genes of the Li family, was extremely smart and eloquent. Although he was accustomed to using swords to teach Wu Yue, the later Han Dynasty to be a man, but his skills were not reduced at all.
Li Zhenggu was sarcastic several times and his face was swollen like a pig's liver. He was gloomy and good at conspiracy and speech. He could not beat and scold him. Chai Kehong was well protected by Li Hongji in Jiangbei. He could not retaliate against him, so he was most enthusiastic about supporting Bian Hao.
On the third day after Feng Dao came, the court had decided to wait until the weather turns cooler in early September and the precipitation decreases, the troops will destroy Chu!
As for the issue of military supervision, it was originally decided by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Privy Council.
But Liu Renshan from the Ministry of War is also a member of an isolated minister. He always dislikes Song Qiqiu, so he naturally doesn't care about the Ministry of Personnel. He is a general who leads troops. Although he is old, he is like a fire. It is common for him to beat people on the spot if he is anxious.
Li Jing asked everyone to discuss it, and it also meant to test everyone.
Unexpectedly, the first person to speak out was Zhong Mo, the Minister of Rites, whom no one could have imagined!
"The sage, I believe that the post of military supervision is of great importance, and whether the attack on Chu is successful depends on this."
When Li Jing heard this, he smiled slightly. Alerts were a common method used by civil officials, and it was not enough to show his foresight.
"My dear, you're exaggerating. In the battle between Ma and Chu, the top depends on the masters to plan and the middle rely on the coordination and command of the generals, and the bottom is the soldiers who use their lives. Although this military supervision is important,"
"Sage, please listen to me," Zhong Mo said this, and did not continue. Instead, he bowed to Chen Jue and Wei Cen first.
The latter was both nervous. Last time, they destroyed Fujian, and they served as military supervisors. The battle was like this, and they knew in their hearts that they were inseparable from their blind command.
In a normal dynasty, the two had long been stripped of their official positions.
However, it was the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing was in a position to protect him, and he was fined his salary, but he was pitiful to the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who were buried in other countries.
Zhong Mo and the Five Ghosts are considered a party. They bowed before talking at this moment, and they were also saying hello, meaning that "I will offend you a little today!"
"The saint, although Bian Hao is very loyal, he has a problem. He is not decisive enough. To put it bluntly, he is a bit indecisive. After Chen Shilang and Wei Shumi served as the military supervisor, General Bian's problem became more and more serious. He spoke and did things with care. After all, the Secretariat and the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor are both powerful ministers, so it is normal for him to be afraid. Bian Hao still needs to be used, so he has to loosen his ties in the military supervisor."
"The military supervisor has been around since ancient times, but it was prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, soldiers were generals, but generals did not respect the orders, so they appointed internal officials to supervise military officials. Therefore, they had great power. It is possible to see our dynasty. It is the ultimate military supervisor. It is enough to be named after the military supervisor. It does not necessarily require important officials. The general of the border also used the position of a seventh-rank servant as the military supervisor to quell the Zhang Yuxian rebellion? Therefore, I think that there is no need for important officials to be selected for military supervisors this time."
"Oh? You said something makes sense." Li Jing was a little interested.
"Who is my dear one?"
"After all, the sage, the military supervisor represents the authority of the emperor. Therefore, although he is not an important official, he still has to consider the candidates. I think that King Anding can take this position. King Anding has a smart talent and a tolerant temperament. He is the sage who loves his son, and is good at calligraphy and painting, and has the sixth rank of the Imperial College. This is just right. Once this official gets his opinion, he will ask the saint to judge."
"Yes" Li Jing stroked his beard and laughed without saying anything.
other
The ministers also discussed it, thinking that Zhong Mo's words were reasonable.
Li Yu's biggest advantage is that his personality is good and not a strong person. When he becomes a military supervisor, Bian Hao's psychological pressure is greatly reduced, and his behavior and judgment can restore the level that a general should have. Besides, it is natural for the prince to go out to plaster gilt.
Seeing the chaos, he said that the matter was temporarily suspended and then entered other issues.
Li Yu learned about the court meeting through the teahouse in the afternoon.
He quickly summoned everyone to discuss matters in Chengxin Hall.
"Zhong Mo!" Pan Chenghou sneered, "What a scheming."
"No," Shi Xubai also said, "For the sake of his disciples, this Mr. Xi is really not evading revenge."
"" Li Yu shook his head, "It seems that he is going back to Qingning Palace for this dinner today."
