Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 171

It is said that women are made of water, and the two girls soon wet his chest when they cried.

But as soon as he said that he was hungry and wanted to eat, the two of them immediately stopped crying, fetched water for him to wash his face, and prepared meals. Shi Congyun was very happy and sat down at the table like a grandpa.

In the end, the two of them had him in their hearts. Once he said he was hungry, he didn't care to get angry. This was his method.

After being seated, Shi Congyun pulled them to sit down too, and the two had already eaten, so he told him what happened at home during the past six months.

Halfway through eating, Shi Congyun simply picked up the smaller Fu Liu and put it on his lap, and asked Zhao Shijian to feed him. He felt very comfortable, and spent his life outside, running around, just for this moment.

Zhao Shijian blushed, and gave him a dissatisfied look, but he still didn't refuse, Fu Liu's entire face turned red, and he softened.

Zhao Shijian told him many things about the capital during his absence.

Including the killing of the enshrining officials on the street in anger by the officials, and of course the most important thing is the "gifts" given to him by various families.

Zhao Shijian summed it up for him, and most of them belonged to officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy.

Shi Congyun asked her: "Will the officials blame me? This matter is in the capital, under the eyes of the officials. He should know about it."

The so-called wise man is bound to make mistakes, Shi Congyun is not sure that what he thinks is right, although he dares to accept bribes from officials everywhere for two reasons.

The second is that the officials indulged Zhao Chao and others who asked for bribes, so he speculated that the officials would not care about him, and maybe they thought it would be easy to control him.

But that's just speculation!Whether the officials like it or not is not a matter of one thought. Who can guarantee that the officials will not change their views tomorrow if they think so today?Or listen to someone's words, and have another opinion about him?

So everything starts from reality and is based on objective facts, and you can't be in a mess by yourself, otherwise you won't know how to die.

Hearing his question, Zhao Shijian was clearly prepared, and said in a low voice, "No, sister Jinling and I have met the queen a few times, and we know a lot of news from the palace."

Shi Congyun nodded, and immediately understood Zhao Shijian's meaning. He thought that this wife did not marry wrongly, at least she was next to the big tree of the queen, not to mention the queen and the power of the Fu family behind her, just knowing the attitude of the palace. Points are important.

Many things, without knowing the attitude of the officials, he dared not even move.

I love Zhao Shijian's cleverness in my heart, and I am grateful to Fu Liu for standing by his side. Shi Congyun is a smart old man. Fu Liu is willing to come forward to inquire about her in front of her sister, at least it shows that in her heart, her husband is still important. of.

She may not be as smart as Zhao Shijian, and she can't think of going to that level, but she can do it if she has the heart.

With them in Daliang, I feel at ease, but I am always worried about their safety.

Like today's official family, his adoptive father rebelled outside, and his family, wives, concubines and children were all killed in Daliang.

For example, when Khitan entered Daliang in the late Jin Dynasty, many people were killed and looted.

Shi Congyun was very afraid that such a tragedy would happen. If Zhao Shijian and others were killed, he would not even dare to think about such a thing. Every time he thought about it, he would be so scared that he couldn't sleep, so he had an instinctive desire in his heart. Reliable, keep gaining power, and strengthen yourself to protect them.

Thinking of this, he affectionately embraced Zhao Shijian.

"Don't move around." Zhao Shijian blamed dissatisfiedly as he almost dropped the spoon in his hand.

"If one day, those countries in the south are all wiped out and surrendered, and the north takes back the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and establishes a solid line of defense. I am so powerful that I can cover the sky with only one hand, so I can rest assured of your safety." Shi Congyun put his chin on Zhao Shijian's shoulder.

Zhao Shijian said softly: "Don't think about it, we are not rare treasures, why use this; that would be too painful, tiring, and dangerous, as long as you have us in your heart."

Shi Congyun laughed and said, "Of course there are you, sometimes I wish I could just do nothing, let's just stay at home in prosperity and wealth, give birth to a lot of children, and then give them to the nanny to raise, and we can live happily ever after .”

Zhao Shijian and Fu Liu blushed when they heard it, and felt that he was talking nonsense.

"How can you be such a father"

"Children must learn to be strong. Start from an early age. I am doing this for their own good."

Zhao Shijian was speechless, he quickly broke away, fed him, and gagged his mouth.

After eating and drinking comfortably, Shi Congyun saw the two of them getting up, looking at the watery cabbage that he hadn't seen for a long time, and his heart became agitated: "We sleep together at night, it's cold now, it's cold alone, I'll go It's not good for someone to sleep alone on either side of the other side."

Of course the two of them didn't believe his nonsense, Fu Liu lowered his head and said nothing, Zhao Shijian blushed, "No, we have to go pick him up."

"Who are you picking up?"

"Who else can it be?" Zhao Shijian said sourly, "Of course it's the beauty you brought back from Jiangnan, and it's already been rumored in Daliang City.

He came to Daliang alone from thousands of miles away, and he was afraid and uneasy.Always make arrangements for food, drink, accommodation, and transportation first, as well as people who serve her. She is a noble family, and her ten fingers do not touch the spring water. She must know many things and can't be neglected. Of course, we have to make a statement and let her Peace of mind, otherwise how can you let people feel at ease, at this time, you must be trembling and uneasy. "

Shi Congyun slapped his head, as if yes, but he didn't think about it so carefully. To put it bluntly, he has a thick skin and a lot of knowledge, and he doesn't feel that he can't support himself anywhere, or that dealing with people is a big problem.

So he didn't think too much about it, and he meant to judge others by himself, but Zhou Xian was very different from him. As Zhao Shijian said, he was thin-skinned, had no life experience, and his fingers didn't touch the spring water, and he didn't serve him for a long time like Zhao Shijian. I have done all the dirty work, and if I pick it up, I will be resettled directly, and many small things will become problems.

He smiled dryly and said, "Hey, you're still thoughtful, I'll give you a prize, and allow you to be the first to sleep with me."

Zhao Shijian blushed even more, and hurriedly pulled Fu Liu out to ignore him.

Compared with Fu Liu's well-behaved, Zhao Shijian's jealousy is written on his face, but jealousy is jealousy, and he has not neglected to do things.

Shi Congyun was afraid that they would start a fight, so when there was a noise outside, he guessed that the car to pick up Zhou Xian had arrived, so he quietly climbed to the top of the courtyard wall to have a look.

It turned out that this Zhao Shijian dared to "cross" in front of him, and he was also articulate. After seeing Zhou Xian, he had a different attitude. For basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, Zhou Xian summoned the servants and asked Zhou Xian to choose the servants to take care of, and then personally took her to the east courtyard and introduced her to the various places in the house.

Shi Congyun shook his head, women are so fickle!

Could it be that the majesty of his master is not enough, why did Zhao Shijian dare to bully him in front of him, and give her a chance to "teach her a lesson" and let her know who is the master in the family.

Zhou Xian is older than both Zhao Shijian and Fu Liu, Zhao Shijian is one year old, and Fu Liu is five years old.

In the evening, Shi Congyun went to visit Zhou Xian. Zhao Shijian and Fu Jinling were there. I don't know what they were talking about. Zhou Xian was very embarrassed and pushed him out by his chest.

Helpless, he can only sleep alone. Although he has three wives, but he sleeps alone, Shi Congyun doesn't know what went wrong.

After a day's rest, the court ushered in a grand court meeting, and both Shi Congyun and his father Shi Yanchao attended.

The main content of this dynasty is the summary and rewards and punishments of the Huainan War.

Most of them were said by Wei Renpu and others from the Privy Council. Shi Congyun felt drowsy when he heard it. He is the commander in front of the palace at this time, and he is also the military commander standing at the forefront. He can't sleep in front of the officials. I could only forcefully hit her, pinching my thigh from time to time.

The post-war summary is a very grand event, because it involves changes in rewards and punishments, promotions, power transfer, and who will be powerful in the future can be seen from these changes.

The resplendent arched hall was full of people, everyone concentrated and listened with ears pricked up. In this day and age, powerful ministers are equally important, because powerful ministers have the power to overthrow the emperor. It has been going on for decades, and everyone wants to understand. In the end who has the power to curry favor with.

After summarizing, Wei Renpu talked about the restructuring of the army.

Set up the Huai Army in the vortex.

The Yulang Zhishui Army filled the army in front of the palace, changed to the Yulang Army, and expanded the army to set up left and right hatchbacks.

Secondly, the Crane Control Army performed very well in the battles against Shu and the Tang Dynasty, and the officials had the heart to expand their military equipment, so the Crane Control Army was expanded from the left and right hatchbacks to the four compartments, and they were called the Crane Controlling One Wagon and the Crane Controlling Army. The second chamber, the crane-controlled three chambers, and the crane-controlled four chambers, follow-up recruitment and expansion of troops will be carried out one after another, and the generals will be selected first.

After talking about the changes in the army, the next step is the main event.

The most eye-catching thing in the Great Court Meeting is nothing more than the change of senior officials in the two divisions.

As the saying goes, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. The Department of Guards and the Department of Dianqian are the two main systems of the Imperial Guard. Whoever controls the power of these two major Imperial Guards is in his hands. It is more straightforward than anything else, and it is more effective than those messy titles and honorary positions. too much.

Moreover, the Dianqian Division and the Guard Division at this time were not the Sanya that had been castrated in the Song Dynasty. They actually controlled the power of the army. Therefore, the ten high-ranking officials of the two divisions will be awarded to whom, which really reflects the change of power. and in whose hands.

So when Wei Renpu made a summary and talked about what did well and what did not do well in the war of the past two years, who had meritorious service, and who had experience, the eunuch from the official family came out and began to dictate the facts about the war on behalf of the official family. Rewards and punishments, promotions and changes, everyone cheered up for a while.

Shi Congyun suddenly felt relieved.

What the eunuch said was the result of discussions between the official family, his cronies, and the Privy Council.

First of all, let’s start with the lower-level officers. The lower-level officers command the following (each command leads 500 troops according to the establishment, and the actual situation is about 200 to 400). Vice-captain; team leader (leading 100 people), corporal chief (leading 50 people), can be promoted and punished by each military department and office, but must be recorded and reported to the Privy Council later.

To put it bluntly, senior officials like Zhang Yongde and Shi Congyun can decide on the deployment, rewards and punishments of the grassroots officers of the armies under their front division, and the same is true for the guard division, as long as they submit a report to the Privy Council afterwards.

Then came the rewards for the many commanders and army commanders, most of whom went up one level step by step.

These people were all Shi Congyun's former subordinates, and he could think of many of them just by hearing their names.

After that, it is a higher level, to the rewards and punishments of the commanders of the army, the commanders of the army, the least is to lead one army, five commanders, the strength of the army is 500 according to the establishment, and at least more than 800.

At this level, they start to have weight. Many people's names are known in the army, and these people are all generals under Shi Congyun's subordinates.

Zhao Chao led the Jiedu envoy of the three towns of Heyang, paid homage to the inspector Taibao, and no longer led the forbidden army, but left the town of Heyang.

Shi Shouxin was promoted to Marquis of Yu, the capital of scattered members.

Dong Zunhui was promoted to the commander of the left wing of the iron cavalry.

Shao Ji was promoted to be the commander of all the cranes.

Shen Zhiyi was promoted to be the commander of both sides of the crane.

Wang Zhongzhuo was promoted to the commander of the left wing of Hujie.

Luo Yanhuan was promoted to the commander of Hujie's right wing.

Murong Yanzhao was promoted to the Jiedu Envoy of Zhenhuai Army and guarded Weikou.

Han Lingkun was the envoy of the Zhen'an Army, and he was in Chenzhou.

Si Chao led the Yulang Army to command envoys.

Li Chuyun led Long Jie's left wing commander, etc.
Everyone was promoted based on merit, and many of Shi Congyun's subordinates went from the commander of the army to the commander of the Xiangdu.

Almost everyone is awarded, with only a few exceptions. For example, the commander of the infantry guards dismissed Li Jixun and replaced him as General Youwuwei, because he was defeated by Liu Renshan in Shouzhou and lost troops.

But the final highlight is the ten high positions in the front office.

After the eunuch finished reading, he changed to an edict. This edict was much less written, but it weighed more.

The eunuch cleared his throat, and then read aloud: "Zhao Kuangyin is promoted to be the commander of the deputy capital of the Dianqian Division, and he is also the chief inspector and attendant."

Shi Congyun listened, this was originally his position, the commander of the deputy capital in front of the palace was a position with actual power, the captain was an honorary title and used for receiving salary, and the honor of servant had practical significance, that is to say, Zhao Kuangyin could Free to enter the palace to face the saint.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was standing in a row of black faces, knelt down excitedly to thank him.

After he finished thanking, the eunuch continued to read. There were too many people before, and the weight was not so important. They didn't need to thank each one. Now everyone has to give thanks grandly.

"Wang Shenqi was promoted to be the commander of the Guards and Infantry, and he paid homage to the inspector Taiwei and served as a servant."

Wang Shenqi, who has always been prudent, also blushed and even knelt down to thank her.

"Promote Shi Yanchao to be the commander of the deputy capital of the bodyguard Ma Bujun, pay homage to the inspector Taifu, and serve as a servant."

Hearing this, Shi Congyun clenched his fists excitedly, and the guards and horse infantry were all commanding envoys. Isn't that the second in command of the guards department!
And at this time, Li Chongjin, the head of the bodyguard department, was entrusted with a big task by the government to guard against the enemy in the south and control Huainan in Yangzhou. That is to say, although the old man was named the second in command, he was actually the number one!

Because Li Chongjin is not around, he must be the one to decide many matters of the bodyguard department!The higher the father's status, the more secure Shi Congyun felt.

The eunuch above went on to say, "Join Xiangxun as the Jiedu envoy of the German army, and give Tong Zhongshu the door of peace."

He immediately realized that the officials wanted to keep Xiang Xun by his side to make suggestions, so he was granted Jiedushi, and added Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, that is, the prime minister, who can handle state affairs with the prime ministers.

Just thinking about it, the old man and Xiang Xun have finished thanking each other, and the eunuch above has already read his name, "Zhuo Shi Congyun is the deputy capital in front of the palace, and he is the inspector Taiwei, who is also the servant, and the Tongzhong secretary." Things are going smoothly under the door."

ah?Shi Congyun was stunned for a moment, he knew that he was the deputy chief inspector, and he also knew that he would be given a salary as an inspector and lieutenant.

But what the hell is going on with Zhongshumen?Is it compensation for him not being able to serve as the inspector?
