Chapter 64 Autumn Rain

3days ago traverse Novels 3
It started to rain early in the morning, and the scenery of Daming Palace immediately became hazy. The eaves carved into rare bird tails on the top of the palace seemed to be more vivid and became more spiritual. The rain flowed down the above, as if it was tears.

There is little rain in Guanzhong. This time there is no wind or rain, but it also makes Chang'an City a bit more graceful atmosphere.

The so-called autumn rain makes it cool, and the temperature this morning is significantly lower.

However, people believe that spring and autumn are frozen, thinking that this will make you less sick, so the clothes the ministers wore were similar to yesterday, and only those who were too old had added a single garment.

Zhang said that he was standing under the eaves of the inner courtyard of the Zhengshi Hall watching the rain. He also felt the cold air, so he stretched out his fingers and rubbed them under his nose. According to medical books, this can reduce the chance of getting infected with wind and cold.

Just as everyone was resting for a while, Zhang said that Dou Huaizhen and Cheng Qianli also followed him out and walked out. The two of them stood under the eaves and their words and deeds showed sophisticated respect and easy-goingness.

One of them is a relative of the foreigners, and the other is Dou Huaizhen, who has long been in favour of Princess Taiping. He dares to say nothing in front of her. He is also capable of flattering and favoring those in front of the superiors.

Only Zhang said nothing, and he was in the wrong position before the coup. He knelt at the gate of the palace and begged for the victory's forgiveness...

But so what?

The two old guys next to me want to be respectful to me.

Du Xian won Yingzhou for a great contribution, but what he did later really disappointed Chaoli.Zhang Shuo sighed with a sad expression on his face.

Cheng Qianli said thoughtfully: Du Xian is a very sensible person, but he was born in the army, so he probably was inspired by the generals.Especially the generals of the Mingguang Army, as one of the imperial guards in the Northern Yamen, may rarely have the opportunity to go out to make military achievements in the future except for the emperor's personal expedition. It is certainly impossible to be stationed on the border at this time.

Zhang said: The military power is in the hands of Du Xian, and he disagrees. Can the generals still provoke the battle by themselves?

Compared to Zhang's military experience, he mainly served as an official in the Ministry of War, and he was less likely to lead troops personally; Cheng Qianli used to lead troops in the Western Regions and Helong to fight, so he was very considerate of Du Xian: Du Xian was in charge of the military power of the three towns, but Yingzhou was unstable and had a heavy responsibility.If you cannot conquer the hearts of soldiers, how can you maintain the situation?Military power is one thing, but it cannot be entirely up to that thing.

Zhang Shuo felt a little unhappy after hearing this. His original intention of mentioning this matter was not to listen to these reasons, so he stretched out his horse's face and stroked his beardless without saying a word.

Zhang said that he was not interested in Cheng Qianli. At first, when he was the Minister of War, he was afraid that Cheng Qianli would make too much contribution and put him on his head, so he had some intrigues. Last time, the Political Affairs Hall fought with the cabinet, but because Cheng Qianli retreated in the face of the battle, he gave Du Xian, the chance to be given to Du Xian, a cabinet minister.

In short, Zhang said that this person is difficult to control.

Let’s talk about the people in the cabinet, one of Wang Changling is only in his early twenties, Zhang Jiuling and Du Xian are a little famous and the other has some military achievements, but they are not a great person. Su Jin’s lame man has made the contribution to support him. That’s all!

As Xue Chongxun's direct descendants, there is nothing unfair about this group of people who have gained the promotion and promotion, but Xue Chongxun's strategy is obviously to use the cabinet to undermine part of the power of the veterans, and it is still unknown how far it will develop.

Zhang Shuo's voice was that I have been working hard in the officialdom for decades. Do you have to nod and bow to a few younger generations in the future?!

Seeing this, Dou Huaizhen smiled and said: Why is this difficult?Du Xian only cares about the achievements of the military generals and does nothing about the national policy. How many people in the court are satisfied?He simply relied on today's support for him, otherwise he would have been replaced.Haven't you left the palace and asked the Empress Dowager (Princess Taiping) to decide the big thing...

Zhang Shuo listened and thought: Dou Huaizhen was quite able to please Princess Taiping. If she could encourage Dou Huaizhen to be powerful in front of her, it would be a good idea.

Of course, Xiaozhi is so powerful that Zhang said that he doesn’t want to say it, and Du Xian can’t beat him up, so he won’t be able to say our slander when he comes back?

Dou Huaizhen is different. He has no idea of ​​slander or not. It would be best if he could do it.

But Dou Huaizhen is the kind of person who pretends to be smart. Why do you ask him to do with a smile? He has to look like he understands everything and thinks you want to harm him, so he must not go!

So Zhang said that he was excited and said again and again: Du Xian, a minister, asked him to lead troops today, was just a temporary job. He had to take care of the military merits of his generals and his prestige. What should he do if he wanted the prestige in the army?

Cheng Qianli hurriedly said: It’s not like this. We may make people feel more attentive when we talk about him like this.

Zhang Shuo said angrily: Anyway, the people in our Political Affairs Hall will follow the rules of the cabinet in the future.I went to the palace to meet the queen mother in the afternoon and told me about this matter. Should our Great Jin Dynasty provoke wars everywhere regardless of the consequences and continue to use foreign troops?The Empress Dowager is a wise man and will definitely understand the old minister's public intention.

Dou Huaizhen touched her beard and said to herself: This is a good opportunity to show her loyalty to Princess Taiping. Zhang said that this old boy is really good at pleasing with all his might. He is so embarrassed to say that I am good at flattery?

Dou Huaizhen wanted to stop and persuaded him: The Secretariat will calm down, but you said this too seriously.This kind of thing only requires a little advice from the Queen Mother, and there will be a result.Du Xian held more than 100,000 troops in his hand, but he still didn't know how to lower his posture and was greedy for me. How many words could he say?

Zhang said seriously: I have a public heart. If you have something to do, just say it and explain it clearly. Why do you need to use the winding ways?

Yes, the Secretary of the Central Committee is straightforward and quick...why would I say this?Maybe the effect is better.

Dou Huaizhen couldn't help but reveal his plans. As the prime minister, this is also my duty.

Zhang Shuo stretched out his sleeves, as if he wanted to hold Dou Huaizhen, and insisted: I am the Zhongshuling, how can such a thankless thing happen to make Dou Xiang get rid of it?

As expected, the more he acted, the more he wanted to pull Dou Huaizhen, the more he wanted to do it.

Dou Huaizhen kept asking for his life, saying that he had a solution, and the effect would be better.

The two argued politely for a while, but Cheng Qianli looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs. Looking at the rain curtain in the yard, it was as if he was about to write a poem.

Finally, Zhang said that he gave Dou Huaizhen a good job and asked him to slander the officials in the border area.

Dou Huaizhen did not disappoint his mission. He made jokes in front of Princess Taiping and said some irrelevant trivial matters, and secretly reminded Princess Taiping: Du Xian condoned his generals to make contributions to war and win over the hearts of military generals.

In addition, Taiping learned from Princess Hezhong who participated in the review of the memorial that although Xue Chongxun had not made a clear statement, he had the intention to withdraw Du Xian in exchange for the construction of Hebei fortifications.

When Taiping decides major events, he will of course consider Xue Chongxun’s idea, as the saying goes, mother and son are connected to each other.

The most important thing is that she is unwilling to develop into a situation of two-faced relationships. Even if there is a trend of development in that direction, she must try her best to avoid it...

The past where she and Li Longji fought each other was not far away.

She had an idea in her mind and summoned the ministers to discuss matters in the inner court.

At this time, the ministers had already guessed her decision in their hearts: if Princess Taiping did not want to touch Du Xian's military power in the Northeast, she would have no need to hold a meeting and just let go and ignore it. Anyway, she was not the emperor in name.

When the staff arrived to talk about the matter, almost all the important officials suggested transferring Du Xian back.

Only the three people in the cabinet did not clearly agree, mainly because Du Xian is also a bachelor of the cabinet. They are not good at raising their colleagues in the court; but the three people did not object much.

It is true that Du Xian’s method is contrary to the mainstream ideas in Chaoli, which is why today’s scene is caused.

It is of course a good thing to open up borders and open up lands...

But that was Du Xian’s good thing. How much does it have to do with the court officials?

It is also an achievement that the emperor can write in history books today, but Du Xian’s advance from Yingzhou was not directly instructed by the emperor.

For this good thing, border peace is at the cost, so no one thinks it is a good thing. No one wants to face a lot of problems when the prime ministers take power.

Even Xue Chongxun's direct descendant Prime Minister Liu is no exception. The more wars he has, the more he has to ask him to get money.

After a very smooth discussion, the Political Affairs Hall drafted the official document, signed by the cabinet, and ordered Du Xian to return to Beijing to report his duties, and at the same time transferred the Ming Guangjun of the Northern Yaya to return to Guanzhong.

After the Mingguang army was transferred, Yingzhou still had heavy troops, including more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Pingzhou, Youzhou and Hedong towns, as well as a large number of border troops.

At the same time, Du Xian needed another person of sufficient importance to take over after being transferred back, and the candidates were discussed for a long time.

(The court did not dare to disband the heavy troops in Yingzhou, and the territory was not very stable, so the Khitan and Xi might be recaptured; at the same time, Du Xian conquered some tribes in the east and made grudges, and if there was no force to deter them, they might be retaliated.)

The prime ministers recommended Cheng Qianli to take charge of the troops gathered in Yingzhou and to control the three towns in Yuguan.

After the decision to repair the fortifications was made, heavyweight ministers like Cheng Qianli could also preside over the construction of city walls and passes.

But after Princess Taiping weighed the pros and cons, he proposed that he liked the person he liked: The old minister Xue Na had been guarding the northeast for decades, and was familiar with the local situation, so he should be competent in the government affairs of Yingzhou; it would be better to let the right Jinwu Guard General Zhang Wulang go.

Everyone looked at each other. It was not Princess Taiping who mentioned that everyone really didn't expect Zhang Wulang to be the number one.

Xue Chongxun's confidant generals like Yin Ci and Zhang Wulang are usually low-key and basically do not participate in government affairs. They enjoy titles and salaries when they have no war. When they have time, they go to the military government office to sit there. They do whatever they like to do without time and live a free and carefree life of a noble.

Yin Ci is a little better, he is holding the Shen Ce Army's army in his hand. Zhang Wulang is really nothing important to do.

Everyone quickly realized the meaning of Princess Taiping. Du Xian was personally granted by the emperor. Now that Princess Taiping has removed the military power, the person who replaced it is also Xue Chongxun's veteran. This is beneficial to the mother-son relationship.
