822 Patrol Returns
The bright sun shines on the earth, under the gentle spring breeze, the ground water has gradually shown its vitality, the dead wood is spring, sending out tender shoots, the snow in the field melts, turning into snow water seeping into the field, the green wheat seedlings get the moisture of this warm current, grow more vigorously, as if overnight, the wheat seedlings have doubled wildly.
On the outskirts of Pengcheng, a team of knights walked leisurely on the official road, watching the beautiful scenery on both sides of the official road, showing admiration from time to time.
A knight at the head wore a crown of heaven, a sable fur coat on his shoulders, a robe inside, a handsome face, deep eyes, about thirty years old, followed by more than 20 knights, all wearing black suits, wearing a crown of enemies, each with a sword hanging from his waist, and a black cloak on his shoulders, closely following behind the leader, each of whom was strong and strong, with fierce eyes, and looked very mighty.
The head of the person's eyes kept looking around, and a smile suddenly appeared on his cold face, and he said slowly: "It seems that this year is another bumper harvest year."
As soon as the words fell, a knight behind the leader urged the horse to gallop forward two steps, but he never dared to walk side by side with this person, and kept a distance of a horse's head from beginning to end, only to hear him say: "In fact, this is all the credit of His Highness, it is precisely because His Highness governs the country well that the people can live and work in peace and contentment......
The person at the head was none other than Zhang Yan, the regent of the dynasty. At this moment, Zhang Yan just came back from inspecting Luoyang, he stayed in Luoyang for half a month, and conducted a thorough inspection of the new capital, he wanted to see if the new capital was really ready, just waiting for his order to move the capital over.
Because Zhang Yan was handed over to Henan Yin Zhanghong to be specifically responsible, Zhang Hong was conscientious and conscientious, and did not dare to slack off for a moment, the overall construction of the new capital was better than Zhang Yan expected, and everything was ready when the capital was moved. There is no need to carry large and small bags at all, and Zhang Yan can basically move in with his bags.
You can move in at any time, which is the most satisfying point for Zhang Yan, but when to move the capital. Zhang Yan never had a chance to start, because he was waiting for the rebellion in Nanzhong to be completely put down, and when there was no war in any part of the Han Dynasty's territory, it was when he moved the capital.
Zhuge Liang has been sent by him, and he should have arrived in Nanzhong at this moment. I hope that Zhuge Liang will be able to live up to his trust this time and completely solve the rebellion in Nanzhong in a short period of time, as long as the good news comes, it will be the time when he moves the capital.
The matter of moving the capital is already a sure thing, and the three princes and nine kings in Pengcheng are all ready, as long as Zhang Yan gives an order, they will go to the new capital. When he arrived in Xindu, a new imperial court dominated by Zhang Yan was about to leave a strong mark in the long river of history.
"The people are able to live and work in peace and contentment, and I am not the only one. It is the credit of all the officials from top to bottom of the court, from the pavilion chief to the three princes and nine secretaries, all of whom are contributing their own strength to live and work in peace and contentment. Xu Sheng, this king found that you are now more and more good at slapping horses, such a habit is unacceptable, you need to pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, you can't bring such a bad head to your subordinates, you know? Zhang Yan glanced at Xu Sheng beside him and said earnestly.
Xu Sheng laughed dryly. said: "Your Highness's words are kept in your heart, and you will never dare to do it again." ”
As the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhang Yan has always trusted Xu Sheng, from beginning to end. Xu Sheng is also loyal to himself, but since Zhang Yan knew that the senior officials of the court were plotting to give up the throne, Zhang Yan suddenly felt that Jinyiwei, an intelligence agency that only belonged to him, seemed to be used by some people.
Zhang Yan is still thinking about once he ascends the throne and becomes emperor. Is it really necessary for Jinyiwei to exist? A private armed force that is not controlled by the three provinces and six ministries and directly belongs to the emperor, does the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, or does the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?
Zhang Yan has been thinking about this question recently, but he has always refused to give up, and he is very entangled.
During this inspection of Xindu, Zhang Yan didn't bring anyone, but only took Xu Sheng and other Jinyi guards to go, and he was thinking about this problem along the way, perhaps because of the lack of restraint, he would let power go on a crooked path. Even if Zhang Yan believed that Xu Sheng's participation in this matter might be bewitched, but once such an institution that is not constrained by any power goes astray and begins to disobey its own emperor, I am afraid that it will also do more harm than good, right?
Pengcheng is not far ahead, Zhang Yan has never doubted Xu Sheng's loyalty, but if Xu Sheng is gone, the next Jinyi Guard commander will be someone else, will he still be so relieved? I'm afraid it may not be.
Zhang Yan took the twenty brocade guards to walk slowly on the official road, about a few hundred meters away from Zhang Yan, followed by hundreds of brocade guards, their outfits were the same orderly, and the marching process was also orderly, this was a team trained by Xu Sheng himself, and it was a sophisticated team.
At the beginning, Zhang Yan established Jinyiwei, which was just a simple intelligence agency, but with the gradual expansion of his power and the gradual dignity of his status, Jinyiwei also began to serve as the duty of the guard, shouldering the security of Gyeonggi together with the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army and the forbidden army guarding the palace. However, unlike other armies, the movement of the army is restricted in many ways, and Jinyiwei only obeys Zhang Yan's orders, which is equivalent to giving Jinyiwei special powers.
Unconsciously, Zhang Yan and others had come to the gate of Pengcheng, because they did not notify the city officials in advance, so no one greeted them at the city gate, but when Zhang Yan gradually approached, the captain of the city gate who was responsible for guarding the city gate still went out with his forbidden army to greet him.
Zhang Yan entered Pengcheng in a welcome voice, and when he returned to Pengcheng, Zhang Yan did not return to his house immediately, but went to the cabinet first, ready to check on some of the situation in various parts of the country after he left.
When Zhang Yan heard the news that Ma Chao and Ma Dai were imprisoned by Pang Tong in Chengdu, he was very happy, and immediately commended Pang Tong, and then ordered Pang Tong to let people escort Ma Chao and Ma Dai to Pengcheng.
In addition, the intelligence of Liangzhou is also very gratifying, Xu Shu Yang Fu and others, with the active cooperation of Tai Shici, at the same time sent troops to coerce stability, originally thought that there would be a big battle, who knew that Ma Gang was a very knowledgeable person, actually took the initiative to surrender, and handed over the military power to Tai Shici.
It wasn't until the end that Xu Shu Yang Futai Shi Ci knew that Ma Gang surrendered, which turned out to be Ma Teng's meaning, Ma Teng was always worried about his son Ma Chao, for fear that Ma Chao would do something that would destroy the whole family, so he wrote to Ma Gang, asking Ma Gang to see the opportunity and hand over his military power, so as to protect the entire Ma family.
Ma Teng's approach did allow the Ma family to survive, but since then it has lost control of Liangzhou, Tai Shici has rectified General Ma, so that the army has been reorganized into his subordinates, stationed in stability, and discussed with Xu Shu Yang Fu, the entire Ma family will be moved to the capital, as for the rest of the matter, it will wait for the regent's arrangement.
After Zhang Yan listened to the report of Shangshu Guoyuan of the Ministry of War to Liangzhou, he asked, "Has the Ma family ever arrived in Pengcheng?" ”
"I have all arrived in Pengcheng three days ago, and now I am living in Ma Teng's house, and I have sent people to closely monitor it, and I have not found any abnormal behavior, just waiting for His Highness to come back and make a decision." The military department is still the secretary of the country.
Zhang Yan said: "Ma Teng is a person who knows the times, as the so-called son Mo Ruo's father, it seems that Ma Teng also knows that his son Ma Chao is by no means a stable person, so he has already made a decision." Since Liangzhou is no longer under the influence of the Ma family, and Ma Chao has not rebelled in the real sense, the Ma family does not need to be implicated, let some people with official positions in the Ma family stay in the capital and listen to it. Yang Shangshu, you are the secretary of the ministry, and this matter will be handed over to you. ”
Yang Biao, the secretary of the ministry, hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, the Ma family can give some idle positions, but most of the children of the Ma family are in the army of Liangzhou, isn't it ......?"
"No need, there is the entire Ma clan in the capital, and the Ma family army is leaderless, so it can't afford to make any waves. Besides, Tai Shici is not a vegetarian, since he said that he has been reorganized, I believe that these 30,000 Ma generals have changed a large number of fresh blood, and there is no big problem now. Zhang Yan said, "Now let's talk about the situation in Nanzhong...... "To be continued."
