Chang'an on the eighth day of the first month of March, the spring is bright.

"Lord Li is here, hurry up and serve tea and take a seat for Lord Li." Li Pu, who is in charge of the same door, stood up with a smile and greeted him.

Li Chengqian, the secretary of the military department, gave a courtesy, said a polite word, and sat down, and Li Chengqian didn't have much heart to drink a cup of tea, but just took it up and wiped his lips.

Over there, Li Pu took two steps back and forth before he sat down again, and said with a tired smile: "Is this tea okay?" ”

In fact, it is in vain to ask, who doesn't know Li Chengqian's origin? Drinking is still good, tea tasting is not what he is good at, no matter how good it is for him to drink, it is also a tyrannical thing, but Li Pu is not sarcastic, just simple politeness.

After all these years, Li Chengqianyue's city government was deep, he only smiled slightly, and said: "Li Xiang doesn't know, Li Yuanqing tastes tea, like a cow chewing peonies, it is just a scene, where is the quality good?" ”

Li Pu smiled to himself, "This tea is from the Ming Garden in Shuzhong, in the tribute of the last year, especially His Majesty, I am fortunate to get some here, if Lord Li does not dislike it, let people send some to the adults later." ”

Li Chengqian clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you Li Xiang." ”

However, his eyes flickered, and he saw that there was no one next to him, so he smiled and said: "When I came here, I met General Zhang Da, and I saw that his mind did not belong, if it wasn't for the Privy Council, there was an accident?" ”

Li Pu glanced at him, and said in his heart, can the affairs of the Privy Council be concealed from you, the secretary of the military department? But they came to ask me, is it schadenfreude, or do you want to meddle in the Privy Council?

Thinking so in his heart, he said: "The general has also been leading troops outside for a long time. Now most of them feel that they are shackled, and when they look at it in a few days, they will be full of energy, and there will be no more sorrow today. ”

As soon as the joke began, both of them laughed.

But the two of them are like a mirror in their hearts, General Zhang can be said to be the same scenery a few days ago, compared to the general Zhao Shi who quietly returned to Beijing, it is an honor I don't know how much, the palace gives a banquet, and hundreds of officials congratulate him. There were countless rewards, not only was he named a marquis, but he was also promoted to the position of privy deputy envoy.

If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince is now temporarily banned in the East Palace, a prince is indispensable.

It seems that he has gone too far, and he has been cultivating in the house for more than two months before he takes up the post of Privy Council, whether it is pretentious for others to see, or whether he is really tired of the journey, others do not know.

It's just that the time to strike while the iron is hot is indeed in the past. When he arrived at the Privy Council, the Privy Counsellor Wang Dao was nothing. But there is also a privy deputy envoy from the end, this old minister of the two dynasties, the sea has been up and down for decades, it is estimated that he is still not satisfied with the old, and he has some complaints about General Zhang Da's future tenure in the Privy Council for more than two months.

When the general really arrived, the two of them started a fight, General Zhang has led the troops for many years, and has never served in the center. It is a person who has served as the secretary of the military department, and has served as the deputy privy envoy for many years, where can General Zhang deal with it.

A few soft nails touched down, and General Zhang touched the ashes of his nose, and the Privy Council was not watching a joke, but most of them stood on the side of Congduan, and the prestige that Congduan had run in the Privy Council over the years. Compared with the privy envoy Wang Daocun, it is not far behind, let alone Zhang Peixian.

In addition, there is also a Wei king in the Privy Council who is dissatisfied with General Zhang, who is not clear about the grievances back then, and the general Zhang Peixian has seen the opportunity. stabbed His Royal Highness the King of Wei from behind, and then led the troops to Tongguan, and gradually became majestic, he was just a deputy general under the command of King Wei.

Since Zhang Peixian took office, His Royal Highness King Wei, who has never paid much attention to the affairs of the Privy Council, has been on time and on time in the Privy Council, if nothing else, but against General Zhang, which makes General Zhang extremely uncomfortable.

After the scenery, it is so difficult, colleagues and subordinates, almost a group of difficulties, this situation, not only did he not expect it, it is Li Pu, Li Chengqian and others, where did they ever think of it?

Zhang Peixian said that he had a hard time, and he tasted the taste of Zhao Shipingshu's return to Shu and the seizure of military power, but in fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon among the government and the opposition, and how many meritorious soldiers have returned to Beijing and served in the military department and the Privy Council, and they have somewhat stumbled.

Some people survived, and some people have been silent since then, and the Wenwu Shu Path is on this, especially the one that is expressed xiàn.

Leading troops to fight and dealing with government affairs are two different things, and it is actually reasonable for General Zhang to suffer from this predicament, but it still makes many people almost drop their jaws.

Who is Li Pu and Li Chengqian? But they know in their hearts that this situation will not last too long, the general Zhang Peixian is appointed by His Majesty, the holy family is in his body, and he is old and decrepit, and he is out of position not this year, but next year, Zhang Peixian will sooner or later sit firmly in the post of privy deputy envoy, there is no doubt about this.

As for the voice of asking General Zhang Peixian to be transferred to the northwest to take over from Zhang Zu and serve as the commander of Yanzhou, there is no need to pay attention to it, there is no reason for this, especially since His Majesty gave General Zhang a position of privy deputy envoy, and there is no matter of changing the order overnight.

Speaking of which, these accidents in the Privy Council, whether it is Li Pu, the subordinate of the same door, or Li Chengqian, the secretary of the military department, or even the privy envoy Wang Daocun, are all happy to see.

The soldiers in front are meritorious, but the princes of the court are exhausted and struggling to support the back, so is there no merit?

I have to say that this mentality sounds a little awkward, but in fact, this is the real psychology of the court ministers, and logically speaking, it is also reasonable, and this is the root cause of the resistance of the court ministers to the generals who return with merit.

But the two of them actually understand that the general Zhang Peixian will not be unlucky for too long, otherwise, not only will they not agree, but His Majesty will not agree, and they will not be able to chill the heart of the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the country before the battle.

Therefore, the little thing that the Privy Council made was to make General Zhang disgraced for a while, and by the way, to suppress General Zhang's arrogance, and after a few days, it would naturally calm down.

If you want to gain a foothold in the court, you can't rely on others after all, everyone else is playing Taiping Boxing, it's okay to help you say a few words, if you let others do their best to help you, there are not many people who have this friendship with General Zhang.

And Li Pu didn't say that Zhang Peixian came to him, not to complain, and he couldn't pull off that face even if he wanted to come to General Zhang, he came to Zhongshu this time because he was on official business.

The discussion was about the departure and retention of another general Zhang Da in the northwest and the choice of successor, which was a thankless matter, and General Zhang's poor situation in the Privy Council was also undoubtedly expressed in this matter, because it should have been a kind of errand from the end......

There was no result, because the elite soldiers of the imperial court were all in two places in the Heluo River, whether it was the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Zhongshu, or His Majesty, they had no intention of transferring troops back from the east now.

It is true that the envoys of the two countries have arrived in Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, but it is normal for this kind of thing to drag on for a year and a half, so the soldiers of the Qin army in Hezhong and Heluo have increased unabated, and there is no reason to transfer the generals to the northwest.

For a while, there were some people in the court who were available, and they could only drag it, Li Pu sincerely hoped that General Zhang Da in the northwest would not be too bad, otherwise, it would be the court that had a headache, but ...... He deliberately suggested to the emperor and transferred that person to the northwest, but he didn't know whether it would succeed or not.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and tacitly changed the conversation.

"I invited Master Li to come here this time, because I want to hear what the Ministry of War means."

Li Chengqian immediately sat upright, "Oh, Li Xiang, please speak." ”

Li Pu said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Jin people, the Hou Zhou Yi and the envoys have arrived in Chang'an, and the Hou Zhou seems to want to delay it, waiting for the later envoys to pass the letter, and then talk to us in detail, the Jin people ...... there."

Speaking of this, Li Pu shook his head and frowned, "Jin Ren is arrogant and well-known, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation......"

Li Chengqian sneered, "The Jin people are already at the end of the day, there is nothing to be afraid of, where are they arrogant, they really don't know the times, they don't know the etiquette, more than ten years ago, those Jin envoys came to Chang'an, arrogant can not be said for a lifetime, but also set up an ambush outside the palace, assassinate the court officials, to the old man said, the Jin people are not as good as pigs and dogs, they really should be killed...... Well, what do the golden people say? ”

Li Pu is in Zhongshu, and he is a supplementary minister, so there are more taboos in his speech, but he agrees in his heart, and smiles slightly, but if you look closely, you will feel that the smile is a little cold.

"The envoy of the Jin people insisted that the river would be returned to the Jin country, and the annual coins would be compensated, etc......."

Li Chengqian's thick eyebrows were raised, and he sneered: "Wishful thinking......"

However, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Li Pu and said, "Could it be that someone mentioned yì and wanted to agree to the Jin people's request?" If this is the case, the military department here is to fight for reason, the Jin people are difficult to fill, they lost the battle battle, and they are so arrogant, if they win, they must not ask us to be ministers? ”

Li Pu stroked his palms and smiled, "Okay, what I want is Lord Li's words, and the old man can speak in front of His Majesty......"

Li Chengqian was shocked, there was something in this, but when he thought of Duan Wenfang who was in the river, he was also a little annoyed, Duan Wenfang went to Jin Guo to negotiate peace, so he stayed in the river, which made him feel a little caught off guard, you know, all these years, Duan Wenfang has always wanted to enter the Privy Council to serve, and he is also happy to see it, and he recommends it, but the peak turns around, and he has become a feudal official in the river, this is not his strength, whether it is Duan Wenfang's own idea, or whose shadow is there, it is difficult to figure out.

And before Duan Wenfang went to Jin Guo to discuss peace, he wrote a book, which had the intention of abandoning the river, and Duan Wenfang was his confidant, this shit basin was detained, Li Chengqian scolded in his heart, Duan Wenfang is a fool.
