Chapter 25: The General and the Clan
Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign brick families have one thing in common - they are all a group of smart people who are good at talking nonsense and doing nonsense, but they can't do their jobs.
Song Huizong couldn't solve the problem of rebels, but fortunately, he still had a queen. Many of the queens of the Song Dynasty were not idle, and some of the queens who later became the queen mother were more powerful than the emperor.
So when the empress of Huizong saw the official family frowning, she asked, "Why are the official family worried?" ”
When Huizong wants to relax, he will look for Zhao Yuannu and Master Li, but when he wants to hide, he will hide in the queen's deep palace, and those ministers can't go to the queen's bedroom to make noise about him anyway, right? This is to make the best use of people's talents.
Hearing the queen's concerned inquiry, Huizong could finally complain, and after telling the reason, he sighed: "The Hu family will rebel, how should this be?" Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo, why don't you rebel against other dynasties, but you prefer to rebel against the widow? Those corpses in the court couldn't even choose a rebellious person, and they all pushed it to the widow's case - what is the use of raising these gold-painted dung buckets? ”
The queen listened to Huizong's chattering complaints, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Does the official family still remember the ancestral jade box legacy?" ”
Huizong's heart flashed, his brows were worried, and he took the queen's hand and said, "Zitong, you are really my virtuous helper!" ”
The ancestors and emperors of the Great Song Dynasty all left a clever plan in the jade box - what should the Yang family do if they rebel, what should they do if the Zhe family rebels, and what should they do if the Hu family rebels...... Huizong had always disliked these jade boxes, as if those dead ancestors were much smarter than himself. But now that trouble is coming, Huizong feels that even if the ancestor is a little smarter than himself, it is not a bad thing.
So Huizong asked the eunuch to find out the ancestral jade box from the inner government clerk, opened it, and was amazed, the ancestor thought about everything so thoughtfully, much better than himself - it turned out that just like this, he could make the Hu family go up in smoke, and he couldn't imagine it? Sure enough, he was born in sorrow and died in peace!
Huizong went to court the next day, and when the ministers chattered and urged him to send people to raise troops to rebel, he said confidently: "Where is Xu Ning, the head of the Ninth Golden Gun Class?" ”
The Golden Gun Class is one of the emperor's closest guards, Xu Ning drove with him today, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly went out to worship and shouted long live - "Minister Xu Ning is here!" ”
Huizong said lightly: "I order you to command the Golden Gun Squad, and then order the elite forbidden army to go to the Pinghuyan Rebellion!" ”
Immediately, some Wenchen was dissatisfied - Gao Yu sent a military general to lead the troops before, but the military general actually killed the prison army and rebelled! Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, the official family should take it as a warning! Why is it still a military general leading the troops this time? What if they fall into addiction?
So a civil official came out and admonished: "Long live, the military ministers are vulgar, they should not be in a big position, and they should be rebellious today, and they should be dominated by the civil ministers!" ”
Huizong sneered: "What Aiqing said is reasonable. Since this is the case, Aiqing will lead the troops to rebel, and he will inevitably win and succeed. ”
When the civil official heard this, he was so frightened that he was covered in sweat, and the Hu family hung his prestige in the Great Song Dynasty, where did he have the courage to run to death? It's almost the same to watch political enemies go to their deaths. So he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The material of the ministers is rotten, and they should not be ...... big responsibility."
Huizong admonished with confidence: "Since you can't take on a big responsibility, what else do you want to do?" Let's go and change to a military position! ”
Under the unpredictable power of heaven, the unlucky civil official threw himself to the ground and did not dare to look up. Huizong saw that the courtiers were afraid, and he was very happy in his heart, and shouted: "The Hu family will be invincible in the chain of horses, only the hook and sickle of the ancestors' relics can overcome it, Xu Aiqing is one of the healthy ones, he can't go, who can go?" What is the reason for being jealous and jealous? Will there be intentions that are not conducive to the children? ”
All the civil officials hurriedly knelt down, and someone gave Cai Jing a look, and at this time, the old lady had to turn the tide.
So Cai Jing came out of the ranks, because he was old and did not die, so he had preferential treatment, and he didn't need to kowtow, but just bowed down and played: "The saint is wise, and the minister seconds it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Huizong was happy, and all the civil officials were stunned.
Yesterday, Murong Yanda's family sent a letter, saying that Murong Yanda was imprisoned in Qingzhou by the Hu family, and his home was raided. Cai Jing's favorite concubine Murong looked at it, crying and shouting, looking for death and life, and asked Old Man Cai to hurry up to save his brother-in-law, so today Cai Jing doesn't care whether the civilian official leads the troops or the military generals, first find someone who has the ability to send troops to Qingzhou to destroy the Hu family is the top priority, otherwise the beauty has swollen eyes all day long, what is it called?
Obeying Huizong's wishes and winning the favor of the officials, Cai Jing comforted Wenchen with good words: "Shengshang, this time the army is very important, and if you don't guarantee everything, you won't send troops, so you must be cautious in the selection of this supervising army." ”
Today's extinguishing of the prestige of the civil official group made Huizong a little fluttering, so he smiled and said: "Can Jingqing have a candidate for supervising the army?" ”
When all the civil officials heard this, they all felt chestnut in their hearts - the old lady must not recommend herself! I've already killed two overseers, and in case I'm unlucky, I'll be the third......
Who knew that Cai Jing's ability to move Jiangdong was first-class: "The heavy responsibility of rebellion, except for the ministers of the Holy Stock, how can he be willing to die?" This position of overseer must be a child of the clan! ”
When he said this, Huizong and all the civil officials nodded again and again. Huizong then passed on the edict and ordered all the southern officials to go to the palace.
The officials of the southern class are all children of the royal surname Zhao, and according to the previous emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties, these uncles and brothers are untrustworthy; However, Huizong didn't have this suspicion, he felt that compared to outsiders, this group of Zongzhi was more worry-free for him.
Spread the edict to the south class official to go to the palace, this is a rare thing. After the children of the Zhao family faced the saint, a festival envoy at the front of the line asked, "I don't know what to do with the summoning of ministers and so on?" ”
The children of Zhao Song's clan were not given officials, only empty positions. was originally named a small general, and after being promoted seven times, he became a festival envoy, and this life is over.
Huizong said with a smile: "Today, Xu Ning of the Golden Gun Class led the troops to rebel, and there is one less supervisor in the army, I don't know which Aiqing is willing to take this position?" ”
The children of all the clans looked at each other. Although you can go out of Tokyo to have fun when you become a prisoner, compared to the military life of Kurama Fatigue, it is still comfortable to be an empty prince and wait for death. What's more, if you become a prison soldier and have contact with a military minister, you will become an egg with a seam, and if you are slandered in the future, it will be enough for people to drink a pot......
In an instant, the treacherous guys decided that this prison should not be right!
But not all the children of the clan are old traitors, at least there is a Leng Touqing.
This young man's name is Zhao Yu, his parents are gone, he doesn't care about it, and no one teaches him so many taboos. He just became a little general, and he was so happy, but the Nanban officials belonged to the military position, the Song Dynasty discriminated against the military position, the civil official was promoted in three to four years, and the military attache was promoted in seven years, although it has now been changed to five years, but Zhao Yu is young and irritable, where can he wait so long?
Taking advantage of the opportunity to be a prison soldier now, he quickly occupied it, and when he made a meritorious contribution in this battle, he might be able to be promoted to three levels in a row! Thinking of this, Zhao Yu jumped out with a "pop" and said loudly: "The minister is willing to share his worries with my lord!" ”
The children of the sects looked at each other again, and sighed in each other's hearts: "It's still a young man who is honest!" ”
But fortunately, with the rafters, it also saves the officials from ordering them personally, which saves them a lot of trouble. Xiao Yuzi can be regarded as sacrificing himself.
So the court has decided that Xu Ning, the golden gunner, will lead the army, and the little general Zhao Yu will supervise the army, and raise elite soldiers to fight against the rebellious Hujia rebels. As for the Yangsan bandits? Everyone seems to have forgotten that the outside must be taken care of first!
Of course, Gao Yu, who was slaughtered by Liang Shan, will definitely not forget. But who made him unlucky, the recommended Hu Yanzhuo actually killed the prison army and rebelled? If it weren't for Huizong's favor, this time he would have been unable to turn over in the officialdom! Therefore, Gao Yu didn't dare to do much, so he only found a bunch of sour people at home to help him write a begging chapter.
Of course, Yang Jian is also obsessed with the wealth contained in the eight hundred miles of Liangshan. But he also has a part in recommending Hu Yanzhuo, so like Gao Yu, he is ready to be a turtle with a shrunken head for a few days. They can't compare to Cai Jing, Cai Jing only wrote a green word, and he didn't have anything to do with Hu Yanzhuo, only the two of them were unlucky.
In fact, Cai Jing was also very unlucky. It is certainly pleasing to the eye to have a beauty in the family, but if this beauty snuggles in your arms all day long and cries for your brother, it is also quite disturbing. Therefore, as soon as the dynasty dispersed, Cai Jing summoned Xu Ning and Zhao Yu to his home, and encouraged him with kind words, which was much more attentive than when he conquered Liangshan.
Zuihou Cai Jing asked: "Do you two have a strategy for this rebellion?" ”
Zhao Yuwu was immersed in the joy of being summoned by the Grand Master and couldn't extricate himself. Don't look at him as a disciple of the clan surnamed Zhao, in fact, the clan of the Zhao family is really not much treated, not to mention that the Nanban officials are lowly military positions, and if they act a little differently, they will be suspicious of the current dynasty, and the attitude of the hundred officials towards them is also very vague - I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities to drink a cup of tea at the world-famous Cai Taishi's mansion like today.
So Zhao Yu was lucky to hold the Azure Gaiwan, he cherished the opportunity to be a guest in the Taishi Mansion this time, so that he was out of the sky, and he didn't hear Cai Jing ask him.
Xu Ning said respectfully: "Master Qiqi, the young general doesn't know whether to say a word or not?" ”
Cai Jing said solemnly: "When it comes to national affairs, it is natural to speak freely!" ”
Xu Ning said: "Although the Hu family will be rebellious, the Huyan clan will have many brave generals, although the forbidden army is more elite, and in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat four hands with two fists." ”
Cai Jing twisted his beard and said: "Why does General Xu grow the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of his own family? ”
Xu Ning said calmly: "The master inquired, and I don't dare not tell the truth." ”
Cai Jing nodded, with a slight smile on his face: "General Xu really has the style of a famous general in ancient times, he is not arrogant to the enemy, he is not afraid of the enemy, and this victory has been six or seven - General Xu can rest assured, the general will go first, and the old man will be elected as a brave general in the state and county of the world, and he will respond to you later." ”
Xu Ning was overjoyed and thanked: "Master Lao bothered, he only hated the villain and couldn't repay him!" ”
Cai Jing said at this time: "General Xu doesn't have to be polite. Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, is now in the midst of the rebels, but he is dignified and unobedient, and he is really the dry city of the country! In the life of the old man, he respected such faithful people the most, and today he asked the general to pay attention, Qingzhou and his party must save Murong Yanda's life, the backbone of the country, how can it be compromised? ”
Xu Ning nodded deeply: "The villain remembers the teachings of the Grand Master!" ”
After the words were explained, Xu Ning and Zhao Yu resigned from the Taishi Mansion, and the generals and supervisors said a few polite words to each other and went separately.
Xu Ning returned home and instructed the lady: "Today, the official family has a decree and orders me to lead the army to fight against the rebellious Hu generals." Tomorrow, the school soldiers and horses will be prepared, and the army will be sent out in two days at most. My pair of Yanling chain mail, you asked the family to wait for me to prepare it. ”
The lady said worriedly: "Although I am a woman, I also know that the Hu family will be brave and invincible, and the officials must be careful when they go." As she spoke, she wanted to cry.
Xu Ning hurriedly relieved: "Look at you, I didn't say a few words, but my eyes turned red - I have a treasure armor to protect myself, and Taishi Cai allowed me to be a fierce soldier to respond, although the Hu family will be brave, where can I get me?" Don't worry, lady, I will earn you a letter of order to come back when I go out to the army! ”
The lady took Xu Ning's hand and said, "What did Hugh say, as long as you come back safely, it will be my blessing!" ”
Xu Ning relieved the lady for a long time, and the lady relieved her sorrow a little, and said curiously: "The Hu family will be loyal and good for generations, how can you say that you are betrayed?" ”
With a long sigh, Xu Ning shook his head and said, "This is the fate of our generals, and there is no need to say more!" ”
In the voice, how much pity, how much silence. This is exactly what it is:
It can be known that citizens must be guilty, but there is no way to serve the country. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
