Chapter 164: Old and New Conflict

The twenty halls led by Lu Fang are all straight, and their status is naturally far from Yang Jingzong, but Yang Jingzong has no way to do it. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info According to the regulations, not to mention his Imperial City Division, it is the other guards of the Sanya, the Ma Army and the Infantry Army, and when they see it on the road, they are regarded as not knowing each other, and they do not govern each other at all.

If he had the ability, Yang Jingzong went to Xia Shouyun, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace. That is also the former minister of Zhenzong's domain, but it is difficult to say whether he sells Yang Jingzong's face or not. If you offend a relative of the emperor or your own subordinates, no one will listen to you after offending your subordinates, and it is not surprising that a general who has no prestige chooses anything.

Looking at everyone, Lu Fang sneered, asked someone to help Qiao Datou up, and said, "Let's go first, this account will be settled slowly!" Look up and don't look down in the capital, I'm not afraid that they will run away! ”

"Let's go? Where to go! Yang Jingzong finally came to his senses and yelled: "Come on, surround these people for me!" Trespass on my door, and no one is allowed to leave! ”

Until now, Yang Jingzong has not asked a word, what kind of news Qiao Datou brought, whether it is credible or not. Seeing that things were going to get worse, I remembered that if this unfortunate person really had a military intelligence, then he would have caused a big disaster today. Not to mention the use of lynching, it also delayed the military plane, no matter how Zhao Zhen returned to protect him, he would inevitably be demoted to a foreign post.

Whether it was Yang Jingzong's Imperial City Guards, or the military attache who gambled money here, they were all made disgraced by this group of Yongzhou troops, and they couldn't get off the stage. Hearing that Yang Jingzong finally spoke, one by one let out a long breath, and rushed up to surround Lu Fang and the others.

Lu Fang brought people here to prepare for a fight, so he started the fight at the moment, surrounded Qiao's head, and confronted these.

Li Zhang looked at the round of red sun on the horizon, gradually sliding down the West Mountain, and then looked at the two groups of people facing each other, like black-eyed chickens, tense and unwilling to give in to each other, knowing that today I am afraid that there will be no good results.

Now he is the only one who stays out of the matter, and he has to find a way to calm the incident.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Li Zhang bowed to Yang Jingzong: "Uncle, things have come to this point, do you want to keep making trouble?" This person on the ground is talking about a military intelligence report, and he can't delay it. ”

Yang Jingzong saw that his people had the upper hand, and his courage grew again, and he said viciously to Qiao Datou: "You thief bones, what kind of military situation do you have, let's listen to it!" ”

"Whew!" Qiao took a sip, "You are not a good person at first glance, so I won't tell you!" ”

Yang Jingzong snorted coldly, and just ordered his people to surround Lu Fang and the others. As long as you take people away, there are ways to entertain them, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pry open the mouth of a reckless man!

Li Zhang saw that it was getting late, and he couldn't delay it any longer, so he gave his hand to Yang Jingzong: "Uncle, when the matter comes to this field, the little nephew can't do anything, so he has to leave!" ”

Yang Jingzong snorted coldly: "Aren't you going to enter the palace?" I tell you, I'm not afraid of you looking for the queen! ”

Li Zhang smiled bitterly: "Although I am a person from the closed gate, but at this time, where can I enter the palace if I want to?" ”

Yang Jingzong looked at the sky and knew that what Li Zhang said was right. The palace is not something that can be entered if you want to, and Li Zhang is the emperor's cousin, and if there is no particularly important matter, no one will give him a gift at all.

Li Zhang's identity is here, and Yang Jingzong can't do anything to him, so he has to let him leave. Seeing Li Zhang go out, Yang Jingzong said viciously behind him: "You just go to the house and stay well, don't chew your tongue everywhere!" ”

Li Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and led the two platoons out of the alley. When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I couldn't help but hesitate.

Whether this matter is left or not, Xu Ping can't explain it, and Zhao Zhen can't explain it when he asks him later. But how? Li Zhang was a little confused.

One way is to go to Yang Jingzong's boss, the imperial city envoy Yingzhou assassin Wang Huaijie. But Wang Huaijie usually can't control Yang Jingzong, what's the use of going to him at this time?

Besides, Wang Huaijie's identity is special, his father Wang Jizhong, who was captured when he fought against the Khitan in the sixth year of Xianping, was favored by the Empress Dowager Xiao and married one of his own daughters to him. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty only thought that he had been martyred, and gave preferential benefits to his family, and recorded Wang Huaijie and his four sons as officials. During the battle of Lanzhou, the Khitan commander died in battle, and the Khitan wanted to make peace, so that Wang Jizhong made a table to Song, and the negotiation of the alliance of Lanyuan began, and Song also knew that he was still alive.

This story may be the prototype of Xu Ping's "Shilang Visits His Mother" in his previous life, but the relationship between Song and Khitan at that time was very strange, and it was difficult for future generations to understand. Wang Jizhong's status in the Khitan was very high, and every time the Song envoy went to the Khitan, he would also bring him a special gift. And Wang Jizhong was also loyal to Song all his life, and he asked to return many times, but Song refused to agree to the peace treaty. In this case, the Khitan treated him very generously and was sealed until the king of Chu. Song treated Wang Jizhong's son very well, and his son Wang Huaijie was obedient and obedient to the imperial city envoy, Xu Ping found it difficult to understand.

Li Zhang just listened to it, and Qiao Datou found that Fanbang was fine, and he didn't know if it was the party or the Khitan, and Daizhou bordered both places. If it is a Khitan work, Wang Huaijie must avoid suspicion, and it is not appropriate to go to him.

Or go to the chief of the front division of the palace and the deputy commander of the envoy Xia Shouyun? Li Zhang shook his head. Xia Shouyun is a typical representative of Zhenzong's reuse of the old ministers of the East Palace, and the cowardice and incompetence of the generals in charge of the army. Let him take care of it, who can he control? It's better not to come.

Thinking about it, Li Zhang didn't know the essentials. sighed secretly, it would be nice if his father was in the capital, he is well-informed, and he must have a way to be careful how many years he has been with him in the officialdom. My father is not here, but Xu Ping is here. When my brother was young, he didn't do much, but when he grew up, he had an idea for everything. In his eyes, it must have been just a trifle.

Wandering around the alley for a while, seeing the red sun hanging low, Li Zhangli became more and more anxious.

Suddenly, Li Zhang wanted to come alone, and patted his head with his hand: "How did I forget Daddy Duan!" ”

Riding a fast horse, Li Zhang returned to his house and walked quickly to Duan Laoyuan's residence.

The old yard was playing with Li Zhang's younger brother, and when he saw Li Zhang coming in in in a hurry, he asked him, "Da Lang, what is so anxious?" Isn't it you on duty in the palace today? Came back so early? ”

Li Zhang stepped forward and told him what he encountered today from beginning to end, and asked: "Daddy Duan, now in Taiwei Yang's outer house, those people from Yongzhou are fighting with the Imperial City Division and a few military attachΓ©s of the Sanya. I don't know about this, but if I know it, I will complain countless times in the future. But how to manage, I don't have an idea in my heart. ”

Duan Laoyuan asked Li Zhang's younger brother to play by himself, sat down on the chair, and said to Li Zhang: "Da Lang, you are concerned about it." Actually, if you think about it, who are the right people? Those people from Yongzhou were originally a little wild, but after a few months, they were almost finished. As for Captain Yang, it's still okay to play ruthlessly with those unsuccessful soldiers and ruffians and ordinary people, but against these people, nine times out of ten, you won't be able to get any benefits. As for the few military attachΓ©s of the Sanya there, they are almost like idle street idlers, relying on the shadow of their ancestors to eat in the Sanya, what decision do they have? Therefore, most of this thing can't be troubled. ”

Li Zhang hesitated: "What does Daddy Duan mean, I just need to watch this matter?" ”

"Of course not! You have already bumped into it, when you don't know, Xu Ping and the official family will blame you afterwards. In my opinion, it is naturally impossible to enter the palace now, so you might as well ride the outer city gate before closing, ride a fast horse to Zhongmu Baisha Town, and tell Xu Ping about this. What kind of cotton is being harvested there, and the ministers of the government hall and the Privy Council are there, and it is much more convenient and faster than others to make a decision. ”

Li Zhang thought about it and said, "Li Xianggong of the Privy Council is there. It's just that the Privy Council is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the three yas. ”

Duan Lao Yuan said with a smile: "It's not good to meddle in the affairs of the Sanya, but the person from Wutai Mountain, didn't he say that he found the fine work of the Fan State?" This is a side matter, but it is under the control of the Privy Council. If you go, what should you do, Xu Ping and the ministers will naturally have ideas. You have passed less than you can think of, they will figure it out. ”

Li Zhang is still a little skeptical, Xu Ping is only two years older than him, what has he experienced? I didn't feel that I was about the same as him before, but since I was admitted to the Jinshi, I suddenly distanced myself from myself. Since the ancestors, he has been an important scholar, and the middle jinshi is so powerful?

Seeing that it was not early, Li Zhang said goodbye to the old courtyard, took two platoons, went out of the house, and headed towards Xinzheng Gate.

Although the Privy Council is all-encompassing in military and political affairs, the Sanya still has a great deal of independence, and the political hall and the Privy Council cannot intervene at all. What the deacons can limit the three yas, is only the right to nominate a few generals in charge of the army, and the decision is still in the emperor's hands. Moreover, the emperor's attitude towards the officers of the Sanya was different from that of other bureaucrats, and he always held the power firmly in his own hands and did not allow others to get involved.

In the most extreme Taizong period, some petty officials such as commanders and envoys were also determined by the emperor himself, and no one was allowed to interfere.

There is nothing in the emperor's control of military power, the problem is in these personnel appointments and dismissals, and where does the emperor know who is suitable and who is not? The general of the army is a close confidant of the emperor, and he is useless except for obedience, so who can he promote?

By this time, the Sanya Forbidden Army had reached a very dangerous point. The generals and generals at all levels are all in a small circle, and many of them do not know anything about military affairs, relying on seniority and ancestors. And those who are really capable are suppressed by this circle and cannot rise. Those who are lucky enough to rise up will also be excluded and depressed.

This is also the reason why when the war with the Western Xia was started in history, it was clear that all the commanders were full, and there were even leftovers, but the Manchu dynasty sighed that there were no generals available. It's ridiculous that the commanders who occupy the seats actually think so themselves. When there was a shortage in the army, there were no suitable people to promote many positions, but there were many talents.

Zhao Zhen drew people from Yong Langlu to make up for the Sanya, and sent the officers of the Sanya there to exercise, and the strategy was undoubtedly correct. But the question is how to resolve the conflict between these newcomers and the people in the old circle. Now the people from Yongzhou are still too small to directly clash with the old generals of Sanya, which is considered unlucky for Yang Jingzong. Later, if Zhao Zhen sticks to his strategy, this contradiction will intensify. (To be continued.) )
