Prime Minister

Chapter 716
For Zhang Muzhi and Cai Tianshen's division of credit, Zhang Yue naturally understood.

How to divide the cake in the Battle of Hezhou, this knife is now in his hands, it is understandable that everyone wants to share the benefits.

But if you don't do meritorious service, these methods of coercion will be ugly, and it is unrealistic for everyone to want to share the rain and dew equally.

And Cai Tianshen and Zhang Muzhi are both supervisory officials, so how can Zhang Yue divide the credit even if he wants to?

Now Hezhou has not yet been captured, and Mu Zheng has not yet been captured, but the open and dark arrows in the officialdom are really hard to guard against.

When Zhang Yue and Cai Yanqing returned to the banquet, someone suddenly came to report: "Director Gao is already outside the door!"

Gao Zunyu originally wanted to attend such an occasion in Japan today, as well as the daytime military parade, but he said he was not ill, but at this moment he came suddenly.

"Director Gao, what are you trying to do?" Cai Yanqing asked in surprise.

Zhang Yue understood Gao Zunyu's intention for coming, and the other party came for him.

He smiled at Cai Yanqing: "The so-called good people don't come!"

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he ordered the people beside him: "Let Lu Shengqing and the three of them come here immediately!"

After Zhang Yue and Cai Yanqing returned to the banquet, Gao Zunyu had already entered the restaurant. When he met Zhang Yue, Cai Yanqing saluted lazily.

Cai Yanqing helped Gao Zunyu up with a smile and said, "Director Gao said that he was unwell? I'm still very worried, and I'm going to visit one or two."

Gao Zunyu said: "Cai Caoshuai, it's just an excuse that a certain body is unwell, I'm just afraid that some people don't want Gao to appear here."

Zhang Yue said indifferently: "Director Gao comes whenever he wants, who dares to stop you?"

Zhang Yue and Gao Zunyu's words smacked of gunpowder.

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao have now repeatedly pushed Gao Zunyu out, and used military tactics to take away his military power in disguise.Gao Zunyu felt that he was hitting a wall everywhere, so he often made excuses to fail.

Gao Zunyu used to be a relative, but everyone on Qinfeng Road gave him three points.

But after Yuan Zhongtong was arrested without authorization, Zhang Yue and Gao Zunyu had a complete face-off.Only then did Gao Zunyu know that there is an iron rule in the officialdom, that is, never provoke the authority of the leader.

All kinds of small shoes, all kinds of small stumbling blocks are emerging one after another, Gao Zunyu has nowhere to vent after suffering from Zhang Yue's suffocation, that anger, scolding Zhang Yue all day in the house, Wang Shao and Wang Shao are sinister mean.

Now Zhang Yue let Gao Zunyu in, but gave him the last seat.

Gao Zunyu's face turned blue when he saw it, but he couldn't have a fit at the moment, so he had to sit down like this.

Gao Zunyu knew the purpose of coming today, so he couldn't leave in anger, he had to stay here so as to embarrass Zhang Yue.

Gao Zunyu said: "Is it appropriate for the envoy Jinglue to rank Gao as the last seat? Gao will not talk about it. Can you know that Zhang Jinglue and Wang Jinglue want to go their own way and send troops to Hezhou?"

Gao Zunyu knew that Cai Ting, Cai Tianshen's father, was opposed to Xihe's use of troops when he was not yet a privy envoy, and he also went to Zhangyue to tell Zhang Yue that the several cities built by Wang Shao could not be guarded against the key points, and there was no danger to defend them.Gao Zunyu wanted to use this matter to challenge him.

Cai Tianshen asked: "Director Gao is the commander of the army and horses. It is true. Is it true that the dispatch of troops to Hezhou is not ready yet?"

Zhang Yue said to Cai Tianshen: "Cai Chafang must have seen what he saw on the school ground today. This is the first time he adopts the general's method of war to train soldiers. Could it be that the soldiers trained by Cai Chafang's method can't fight?"

The art of war is from Cai Ting, Zhang Yue asked Cai Tianshen this question, the other replied: "Of course."

Gao Zunyu said: "It's not that soldiers can't do it, Xixia is gathering at the border..."

Zhang Yue coughed lightly, and several people entered the room at this time, namely Lu Shengqing, Wen Jifu, and Xing Shu.

Zhang Yue soon knew that Gao Zunyu's arrival was not kind, so he asked these three people to be his own thugs.

Gao Zunyu saw the three humble officials come in and scolded: "Why are you so reckless? This is also where you came from?"

Lu Shengqing said brazenly: "I know Cai Caoshuai, who will be punished and inspected here, and I have admired his name for a long time, so I take the liberty to toast a glass of wine..."

Zhang Yuegu said, "Although this is against the rules, there is still a heart of admiration. It can be regarded as sincerity. Come in!"

After toasting, Lu Shengqing sat down and said, "Just now I heard Director Gao talk about Xixia Dianji, but I haven't seen a single person so far. I don't know where the news of Director Gao came from because of my stupidity? Can you allow me to investigate?"

Gao Zunyu suddenly said: "I don't need to explain to you."

Cai Tianshen was appointed by Wang Anshi as a visiting envoy, and he was also a member of the New Party.He also knew Lu Shengqing. The other party's elder brother was Wang Anshi's leader, Lu Huiqing, the good guardian of the new party.

I heard that Lu Huiqing is the most narrow-minded, insidious and cunning person. This person's younger brother is under Zhang Yue's tent, so we can know the relationship between Zhang and Lu.If I offend Zhang Yue, I won't be able to hang out with the New Party in the future.

This is the credit for laying down Hezhou, Zhang Yue can divide it if he wants to, and it's fine if he doesn't want to.

When Cai Tianshen thought of this, he remained neutral.

Seeing that Cai Tianshen only drank and didn't talk, Gao Zunyu then reported Yuan Zhongtong's matter to Zhang Muzhi, and also produced Yuan Zhongtong's pleadings, and asked to arrest Guan Gou comfort envoy Huang Cha on the spot. The three generals are Wang Junwan.

Xing Shu said: "Dare to ask the chief minister, Yuan Zhongtong is also an official of the Economic and Strategy Department, and you took people without the Economic and Strategy Department. Did you report this matter to the Economic and Strategy Department in advance?"

Although Yuan Zhongtong was recommended by Wang Shao, at least he was a member of the Department of Economics and Strategy. Gao Zunyu arrested Zhang Yue without going through Zhang Yue, as if he had slapped Zhang Yue in the face.

Gao Zunyu said: "I will explain this matter to Your Majesty, but Yuan Zhongtong's crimes are true, and there are confessions as evidence, and stolen evidence is inconvenient."

Cai Yanqing, Cai Tianshen, and Zhang Muzhi glanced at it, and the confession was indeed convincing.

Gao Zunyu said: "As long as Wang Junwan is taken down, the two of Huang Cha will be able to get to the bottom of it."

Wen Jifu said: "It's just some money coming in and going out is unknown, is it worth making such a big fuss? What's more, now that a big war is imminent, is this an investigation or a threat?"

Zhang Muzhi said: "I'm unfamiliar with this, who is this?"

Wen Jifu said: "The next official is Wen Jifu, the judge of Xizhou."

Zhang Muzhi suddenly said: "It turns out that you are Mr. Liulang of Wen Xianggong's family. I'm sorry and disrespectful."

What Zhang Muzhi respected was not Wen Jifu, but Wen Yanbo who was behind Wen Jifu.

Zhang Muzhi thought to himself, the better this chapter is, the more Lu Shengqing and Wen Jifu can be conscripted.

One of them is from the new party and the other is from the old party. It is really unexpected that they both work for Zhang Yue.

It was also Cai Yanqing who found out that Wen Hefu had been an official in Xizhou not long ago, because Zhang Yue's economic envoy had appointed a new one, and the appointment documents for the three of them were still on their way to Xizhou.

Gao Zunyu strongly demanded that Huang Cha and Wang Junwan be arrested first, and the matter should be investigated and found out.

But Zhang Yue and the others resolutely opposed it. Huang Cha and Wang Junwan were both Wang Shao's confidantes. The third general, with 8000 men under his command, is about to enter Hezhou to conquer Muzheng.

Wang Junwan was arrested on the spot, not to mention that the attack on Hezhou was going to be a mess, and if it was not done well, it would cause a mutiny.

Zhang Muzhi said: "Before I heard Xue Jixiang repeatedly say that there is something wrong with the Shiyi Division, should we investigate now, let Cai Caoshuai make a decision!"

Seeing that Zhang Muzhi brought out Xue Xiang, the envoy of the Third Division, Cai Yanqing hesitated and said, "This matter... this matter... why don't you ask him to ask, what does Zhang Jinglue think?"

Zhang Yue said: "Wang Junwan is not in Tongyuan Army now!"

Gao Zunyu said bitterly: "Wang Junwan, if he dares to be away, he will be punished for fear of absconding!"

……

After discussing for a day, there was no proper decision, and finally they broke up unhappy.

At this moment, from Weiyuan Fort to Nanguan, a group of Song army transporting food and supplies has just been looted by hundreds of Tibetan soldiers.

The leader of the Fan army is Yaosifu, who is most loyal to Yu Muzheng, and now he is returning to the Fan tribe with the plundered food and the captured Song army.

When Yaosifu was passing a valley, there were big trees on all sides, and the shade of the trees covered the valley.

The cold wind hit, causing Yao Sifu to feel comfortable, and he couldn't help but lifted his clothes to let the wind rush into his arms.

At this moment, a shadow flew past on the hill, and when Yao Si just reacted, he saw one person and one horse rushing towards him with guns in hand.

When Yao Sifu was about to draw his sword, he was too slow, and was shot straight into the heart by the opponent, turned over and fell off the horse.

Immediately there were countless shouts of killing...

After a while, Yaosifu's head was hung on the horse by Wang Junwan, and the food and grass robbed by Fan Jun were taken back again.

Wang Junwan said to the left and right: "We took one-third of these luggage, and sent the rest to Lintao."

A general said: "Will we get too much like this?"

Wang Junwan scolded: "What's too much? I helped them take this trip to get back the grain and grass, and I don't have to charge some interest. It's good to give these."

The generals laughed when they heard this, and the soldiers below were also very happy.

"Will the Economics and Strategy Company check the accounts in the future?"

Wang Junwan smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Mr. Jinglue is still serious with me, can't count the past one by one?"

The Fan tribe continued to plunder the grain and grass transported by the Song army to Xizhou. Wang Junwan used the looted grain and grass for his own use in the name of attacking and looting the grain and grass.

As it happens, the morale of the soldiers under Wang Junwan is very high, and they are also very active in suppressing the robbers.

Wang Junwan said again: "The rest of the people follow me to continue to wipe out the Tibetans in this area. Damn, I must finish killing these thieves."

While talking, Yiqi came straight up and said: "General Qi, Wang Jinglue said that someone is going to arrest you, let me tell you to go to the mountain to escape quickly."

Wang Junwan scolded after hearing the words: "Who dares to arrest me?"

"It's the Criminal Commissioner, who said that you, the general, have embezzled the salt money that the imperial court used to buy horses from the Fan Ministry!"

Wang Junwan immediately burst into foul language when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but think about it carefully, and it seems that there is indeed such a thing.

But having said that, there is only so much money allocated by the imperial court. If you want to use your life, how can you send troops without exceptional rewards?Besides, I was born and died for the court, so it doesn't matter if I get more.

Wang Junwan scolded: "The gang of civil servants in the imperial court can't do anything if you ask them to kill the enemy in front of the battle, but they are very good at dealing with our own soldiers."

"Forcing us to have no way out?"

The soldiers below also scolded: "Let's kill these dog civil servants to relieve our anger."

Wang Junwan rolled his eyes and said, "Are you going to rebel?"

"Since killing is not allowed, what should we do?"

Wang Junwan said: "Hiding and hiding, I can bend and stretch. It's just that I can't kill the enemy, but I have to hide from these people everywhere. It's really hateful."
