Invincible son

Chapter 514 513 [The wind is rising]

Wang Pingzhang didn't care, but Li Bingzhong did.

Tang Youzhi stood out in the Battle of the Western Territory, led the army back to Beijing after a while, and took over as the head of the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army was a certainty.In view of Li Bingzhong's slow inability to control Nanying's performance before, it is already difficult to have his place in the army.

If he can't be transferred to the governor of Lingzhou, it means that Li Bingzhong will completely become an idle prince, just like many nobles who have nothing to do in Duzhong, and will be forgotten in a few years.

Li Bingzhong is only 55 years old this year. How can he be willing to end his official career?
But what is being discussed right now is himself, and it is obviously not suitable for him to defend himself at this time, so he can only insult Pei Yue'er countless times in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Wang Pingzhang finally calmly retorted: "Lord Luo, Li Bingzhong was originally a civil servant, and he was a minister of the Ministry of War. His Majesty appointed him as the governor of the five armies because of his achievements in military affairs. Then he was transferred to be the head coach of the South Camp to fill the vacancy left by Gu Liang. Now that Marquis of Ji Ning Tang Youzhi is about to return to Beijing, it is natural for him to take over the Southern Camp, so why not change Li Bingzhong to be the Inspector of Lingzhou?"

Of course Luo Ting was not afraid of Wang Pingzhang, but he was a very reasonable person, so he said solemnly: "But he is a noble man after all, and his transfer to the governor's office is not in compliance with the regulations."

Wang Pingzhang smiled and said, "My lord Luo, I have also read the Records of Gao Zu, and I have never seen any article saying that civil and military personnel cannot be transferred. Since Li Bingzhong was able to be transferred from the Minister of War to the Governor of the Five Armies, why can't he be transferred from the Nanying Commander today?" Inspector of Lingzhou? Could it be said that the government does not look at seniority and ability in employing people, but must distinguish between civil and military? It is the right way to make the best use of things and people to make the best use of their talents. I am afraid that it is not the rule that must be followed when governing. "

Pei Yue took a breath and said firmly, "Your Majesty, even though Wei Guogong's words are very reasonable, I still object."

The ministers looked sideways.

In fact, on the day when Pei Yue returned to Beijing, these people had already seen his sharpness and courage. After all, there were not many people who dared to openly oppose Wang Pingzhang in the court.Now seeing him face off against Wang Pingzhang again, many people can't help sighing that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.As for Li Bingzhong, who was supposed to be the focus of this matter, no one paid attention.

Emperor Kaiping asked blankly: "I have heard that you have a personal grudge with Li Bingzhong?"

Pei Yue nodded honestly, and then said: "Your Majesty, when I was in Lingzhou, I wiped out a group of daring horse bandits, and the leader of the bandits was Li Zijun, the eldest grandson of Marquis Fengcheng. I don't know that this matter has something to do with Marquis Fengcheng. It doesn't matter, but there are at least a thousand people in Lingzhou who died at the hands of those bandits, so I think that Marquis Fengcheng is not suitable for the job of governor of Lingzhou."

At this time, Li Bingzhong had no choice but to take the initiative to stand up, facing Emperor Kaiping and said with trepidation: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson of the minister was exiled to Guping Town, Lingzhou in the third year of Kaiping because of a big mistake, and has been missing since then. Pei Yue It is difficult to tell the truth from the falsehood, but I have never instigated Li Zijun to harm the people, and it is even more impossible for him to turn into a bandit. Please Your Majesty be careful!"

Chengyihou Guo Kaishan frowned and said: "Pei Yue, even if Li Zijun really became a horse bandit, he has already died in your hands. What does this matter have to do with Fengchenghou? Do you still want to implicate him?" crime?"

Pei Yue said coldly: "Master Guo, back then Li Zijun conspired with the masters of Western Wu to murder me. His Majesty sentenced him to three years in prison because he thought he had made great contributions to the country in Marquis Fengcheng. But he didn't want to repent but became the leader of the horse bandits, tormenting and killing me." The people of Daliang, shouldn’t the Marquis of Fengcheng be held accountable for his lax discipline?”

Li Bingzhong said angrily: "This matter is all your own side!"

Pei Yue refused to budge an inch and said, "Master Li, those horse bandits are still alive, and many people in Linqing County knew about it that day, including the former right governor Yan Linchuan and Mo Qingyun, the county magistrate of Linqing. If you If you want evidence, I'm sure I can do what you want."

Li Bingzhong raised his voice and said: "Li Zike is not a martial arts master like you, how could he escape from the heavily guarded Guping Town by himself? How could he become the leader of the horse bandits in that strange place in Lingzhou?"

Pei Yue sneered and said, "Marquis Fengcheng loves his eldest grandson very much, who knows if you have secretly helped him?"

Li Bingzhong was so angry that his hands trembled, and he said angrily, "You are spitting blood! Absurd! Shameless!"

"Cough cough..."

Mo Haoli, the Zuo Zhizheng who had always been silent, suddenly coughed a few times, immediately quieting down the hall.The veteran of the four dynasties stood up tremblingly, and said to Emperor Kaiping: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Zhao Xianhong's qualifications are too young to be the governor of Lingzhou. Li Bingzhong still has many entanglements, and he is not suitable to go to Lingzhou at present."

Emperor Kaiping did not stop the dispute between Pei Yue and Li Bingzhong before, and no one knew what His Majesty was thinking. After hearing Mo Haoli's words, he smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and asked meaningfully: "Is the leftist ruler also interested?" Recommended candidates?"

Mo Haoli nodded and said: "The veteran recommends a person to His Majesty, Yin Jishan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Ning Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, echoed: "Your Majesty, Minister Yin is upright and upright, with outstanding abilities, he can indeed take on this important task."

Emperor Kaiping fell into deep thought.

In fact, he was more interested in the candidate Li Bingzhong. Although Wang Pingzhang had to be restricted, he couldn't force him too hard.But Pei Yue's attitude was so clear that he realized that this little guy really had a clear distinction between love and hate.Just think about the suffering Pei Yue suffered at the hands of Li Shi, and Li Zijun's repeated actions to put him to death, and you can understand his views on Li Bingzhong.

Wang Pingzhang said again: "Yin Shilang's qualifications and ability are fully qualified for the governor of Yizhou, but he is not suitable for Lingzhou."

Mo Haoli said slowly: "Please enlighten me, Duke Wei."

Wang Pingzhang bowed slightly and said, "I don't dare to teach you. Lingzhou is the barrier to the west of Daliang. The people there are aggressive and the situation is complicated. It is different from the inland state capital. Xue Tao's dereliction of duty is not only because of his greed, but more importantly, he is a Civil servants are not good at military affairs, so that the territory is unstable and civil disturbances occur frequently, and they are heavily infiltrated by Western Wu spies, which is also one of the reasons why they were extremely passive in the early stage of the Western War."

These two are now the heads of civil servants and martial arts in Daliang. Although they are both over sixty years old, their quick thinking is still far beyond that of ordinary people, not to mention their vision and knowledge. It has taken the topic to a higher level.

Although Pei Yue had a dispute with Li Bingzhong just now, he was still very calm in his heart.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. He originally thought that he could finally intervene in the decision-making of the core of power, but Mo Haoli easily lifted his cards as soon as he made a move, as if he had already seen his thoughts when he appeared.

In fact, the moment he said Zhao Xianhong's name, the magistrate of Xingyang had already lost the qualification to be the governor of Lingzhou.

Wang Pingzhang's recommendation of Li Bingzhong surprised him. In his expectation, this old man would definitely not let Li Bingzhong leave the capital. It would be easier to go to the west if Liu Daxia took over the Ministry of War.

The reason why he unequivocally opposed Li Bingzhong was not because of Li Zijun, but because he didn't want to see his enemy control Lingzhou.Perhaps even Emperor Kaiping didn't realize that Lingzhou was very important to Pei Yue, not only because the officials and people there trusted and respected the young dignitary, but the key point was that Lingzhou was the foundation of Zangfengwei.

Zang Fengwei is the elite he built from scratch, and it is the confidence that he can stand in the court and openly compete with Wang Pingzhang at this moment.

If in the world he lived in in his previous life, an army of 1 soldiers could not change the overall situation, but in Daliang's era, [-] elite soldiers are enough for him to protect himself.Emperor Kaiping granted him the title of Marquis, and promoted him to be the Deputy Commander of the Northern Camp. In addition to balancing the situation in the army, part of the reason was that he valued the strength of the Zangfengwei.

Pei Yue is not Zhao Xianhong's father, so he will not offend the emperor for him.He can calmly accept that his expectations have come to naught, and he can only say a pity to Zhao Xianhong.

But he couldn't accept that his enemy became the governor of Lingzhou no matter what. The reason for the previous dispute was in the final analysis.

Mo Haoli's statement was very normal. As the head of civil servants, he had countless people in his pocket. Even though the requirements for candidates for the governor of Lingzhou were very high, he could still find a few ministers who fully met the requirements.

What Pei Yue still couldn't figure out was Wang Pingzhang's attitude today. What exactly does this old man want to do?
If he really wanted to push Li Bingzhong up, he should have confronted him just now, but he didn't say anything, he just said a few innocuous and well-known truths at the beginning.

Pei Yue had a headache, but he was not discouraged, because he knew that compared to these old foxes, he was just a novice.

At this moment, Mo Haoli asked deeply: "Duke Wei wants to reform Lingzhou?"

Wang Pingzhang's heart trembled, and he met the clear and bright eyes of the veteran of the four dynasties, and said calmly: "Governance needs to be adjusted according to the current situation, so as to stabilize the foundation of the country."

Some important officials in the palace have already reacted, while others are still at a loss.

Emperor Kaiping on the dragon chair watched this scene, and finally understood what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Pingzhang's gourd.

He turned his head to look at Mo Moyun, who shook his head slightly.

The emperor understood, since even Mo Moyun didn't know about it, then Wang Pingzhang shouldn't have conspired to join forces, and Mo Haoli wouldn't deliberately accompany him in this play.

Could it be that this old guy is really dedicated to the country?
Looking back on the past, he didn't doubt Wang Pingzhang's loyalty, but he also knew that the other party would not let go of Lianzhang's power, so he kept using him and suppressing him.

Wang Pingzhang faced Emperor Kaiping, bowed and said: "I have a word, please Your Majesty decide."

Emperor Kaiping looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Say."
