Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 684 The Emperor's Wrist

Zhang Xichong's death was indeed a bit untimely.

As mentioned earlier, Pei Yuan is actually a lonely minister now.

The civil and military people in the Central Plains, whether they are from Henan, Hebei or Hedong, think that Pei Yuan followed Zhang Ting as early as when he returned to the east, and it should be the faction of Yongliang Xunchen.

In fact, Pei Yuanjiu was in Shuofang, and he couldn't lead troops to fight. Therefore, among the faction of Yongliang Xunchen, whether it was Yuancong faction, Donggui faction or Lianglan Liugu faction, they didn't regard him as one of their own.

Therefore, although Pei Yuan was very close to the emperor, he had no foundation in the court.

Lonely ministers have the advantages of being alone. They tend to gain the emperor's trust more and are more able to go out of their way to do things.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, when the lonely minister is asked to do the things that Pei Yuan is going to do now, he will often face the embarrassment that no one is available.

In many cases, if a lonely minister wants to get things done, he can only use ruthless means and rely on the emperor's power to implement it, but this will lead to the rebellious psychology of other ministers, making it difficult to really get things done.

Zhang Ting originally wanted Zhang Xichong to use his lofty prestige and good relationship with Pei Yuan to come to Pei Yuan to shield him from the wind and rain and make some adjustments. As a result, now that he is gone, Pei Yuan loses the most important support.

Although it is only a two-character heroic name, it has a very wide range of benefits, so the military academy present shouted long live.

Now that the two of them are personally serving as the imperial envoy Angel Yuhou of the Military Law Department, who would dare to pierce him?

Cai Guogong Yin Zhengqi, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, was granted the title of Qi Guogong in Jin Dynasty, and one thousand households were added to the food town, and the actual number was fifty.

Letting such people out to serve as political counselors and ministers of rites can strengthen the voice of the foreign court.

There are two wooden beads on one side of the fish bag. If someone violates the military law, keep the square bead and take the round bead. If there is no military law, then keep the round bead and take the square bead.

The military commanders still need to be appeased. Zhang Zhou’s court is now basically full of scribes as ministers, which has already made many warriors uneasy. This will bring He Fujin back, and it will also reassure them.

This is probably the Songpan, Huanglong, and Aba prefectures of Sichuan in later generations.

The reason for going here is because Huangshui Prefecture has begun preparations for Sinicization of the Tubo family Lun Zhangbomi, Taozhou Tubo surname Wenbu family.

When everyone was united in wanting to make great achievements in destroying the country, Yin Zhengqi was almost able to command them like an arm, but now that the great achievements are achieved and the various ministries start to let themselves go, it is a bit difficult to control.

This is actually not difficult, because Zhang Wei's assistant minister of Zhongshu is mostly a respondent, which is what Liu Tao does. Wei Renpu doesn't seem to have a temper, so he should be able to adapt.

Liu Tao was the first court official of the late Jin Dynasty to follow Zhang Ting, and he even took the risk to be a nail for Zhang Ting in Tokyo. Zhang Ting trusted him, and he was even higher than Pei Yuan and the privy envoy Guo Tiance.

If this matter is not done well, those with red tops and whites can make Liu Tao, who is not very capable, unable to carry out work and even explode his mentality.

Suochang and Misang from Song, Fu, and Wei prefectures, such as the Tubo and Qiang tribes, prepared to surrender to Zhang Tie, and asked the Supreme Heaven to send Rinpoche (master) into the three prefectures to build temples, so that the three prefectures The common people will be blessed with the supreme grace.

But for a long time, in the banquet hall of Mokechi, the noise became louder and louder, and there were more and more people clamoring in the crowd, Pei Yuan couldn't deal with them, the heroes of Pingshu, and so on.

Secondly, let them go and see if there are really opposition forces gathering on the Qingtang Plateau.

Both Pei Yuan and Feng Dao knew that their responsibilities were heavy and the time was short. Under the escort of a hundred elite riders from Regret Mountain, they rushed to Chengdu Mansion day and night with only a simple salute.

What's more, all of his subordinates are monsters, ghosts, and snakes that Zhang Tingtian transferred to him from the South China Sea and the North, and the composition is extremely complicated.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Pei Yuan was unambiguous, and immediately followed Yin Zhengqi into the city. Even Shu Lord Meng Chang did not go to deal with it. Instead, he summoned General Yuhou and above military academy who were still in Chengdu in Mokechi.

If it is said that Zhang Wei's Hexi Six Dharma School has the greatest influence on who, the Central Plains Handi only feels a little sense of crisis.

So Zhang Wei first summoned Liu Tao to comfort him, and after finishing Liu Tao's work, he called Wei Renpu to accompany him and let him familiarize himself with the work of Xia Zhongshu's servant.

The third thing is to transfer Wei Renpu, a political adviser and Minister of the Ministry of War, to Zhongshu Province to serve as the Zhongshu Minister left behind by Liu Tao.

But some people let themselves go too far, and they immediately started clamoring among the crowd. Even the pro-army and forbidden soldiers from Longyou, Hexi, were inevitably affected by the temperament of the warriors in the Central Plains.

Therefore, Yin Zhengqi was promoted from Cai Guogong to Qi Guogong. Although the rank of nobility has not changed, the title has actually increased.

Now Zhang Zhou does not have a crown prince, Zhang Xiancun and Zhang Xianyu are the princes who are at the top of the list, and in the eyes of most people, the one who is most likely to be the crown prince is one of these two.

Then let Pei Yuan and Feng Dao take a trip now, one is to spread the credit for expanding the frontier and appease the frontier. You must know that even in Datang, they have not completely controlled these three states.

In the case of returning or turning in stolen goods, a lighter punishment may be given.If he was found out again without keeping Fangzhu, he would be punished severely.

One is that the rewards are not yet clear, and the lieutenant generals are envious of the wealth in Sichuan, most of them are ready to move, and it has reached the point where even Yin Zhengqi is a little worried.

That is to say, Feng Dao at this time, put it in Song and Ming Dynasties, would be the leader of the scholars, so Pei Yuan said that he is the most respected scholar in the world.

This can give another signal to the outer court, that is, the liquidity of the inner and outer courts exists naturally, and the Zhongshu Province of the inner court and the Shangshu, Menxia province, and Privy Council of the outer court have not become two sets of teams.

It is the best way to put this person who can reconcile yin and yang, and who can support the virtuous and capable, in the position of prime minister.

In the competition for the two most critical resources of his subjects and believers, Zhang Tie hardly sent many troops.

Secondly, when Pei Yuan went to Tokyo to reform Buddhism this time, Zhang Tie wanted to give full powers and greatly improve his political status and official position.

The rest of the soldiers and generals each received rewards, and more than 200 were given to military officials alone.

But Pei Yuan didn't make many meritorious deeds. Even if Zhang Ting was the emperor, it was impossible to suddenly elevate him out of thin air. He still had to find a way to get some credit.

Pei Yuan, on the other hand, was unhurried, and just waved his hands to make the two young generals, who were wearing silver-white armor and had silver-white borders on their foreheads, come forward to threaten them.

The second is the handling of Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, the retention of civil servants and generals of the Shu Kingdom, and the allocation between Yin Zhengqi and Ma Zhaoyuan, who will be in charge of Shu, and Zhang Ting himself.

Not to mention the privy envoy Guo Tiance, he is Zhang Ting's personal secretary, and he would not dare to challenge Zhang Ting even if he was given a hundred guts.

Their enthusiasm is so high that they have almost helped Zhang Tie take down half of Qinghai and half of northern Sichuan in later generations. I have to say, this is strong!
But there seems to be a side effect. It is said that on the Qingtang Plateau, the big and small Tibetans and chieftains who used to beat their pig brains into dog brains have already joined forces everywhere, as if they are going to give Liu Dharma Zong a hard time.

So I hope to get Pei Yuan's help to rectify military discipline as soon as possible. After all, as a general, he still needs to rely on the emperor's prestige.

At the same time, the same is true for Feng Dao, from the not-so-respected Shenzhi Zhengshi, the Minister of Rites to the Minister of the Book, and the work of Tong Zhongshu, he still needs a little credit to appear justified.

Pei Yuan first announced the emperor's reward for the army entering Shu.

The military academies present all knew that this was Pei Yuan saving face for them. Whether you kept the square beads or the round beads in the fish bag, no one else would know, and they would be punished lightly.

Although it is not like the Song army directly "grassing the valley" in the middle of Shu, but they look down on the Shu people, take credit for their pride, accept bribes from the rich and powerful merchants in the middle of Shu, and so on. A soldier who extorts money.

But after the rewards were awarded, Pei Yuan immediately became less talkative. He ordered people to bring non-imperial fish bags the size of goldfish bags to all the military academies present.

The fourth preparation is to transfer back He Fujin who was in Taiyuan to take over Wei Renpu's post as a political adviser and Minister of the Ministry of War.

But Fang Zhu was left behind, and those who voluntarily confessed to the crime, the imperial court angel military judge of the Military Law Department, will come to verify.

As the emperor's confidant, and also the emperor's great hero who was able to enter Liangzhou and establish Zhang Zhou's foundation, he is also an angel holding festivals. With multiple buffs, no one dares to be domineering in front of Pei Yuan.

In less than a dozen breaths, the clamoring military academy fell silent, because these two young generals were the emperor's eldest son, Zhang Xiancun, Marquis of Shanshan, and his second son, Marquis of Shicheng, Zhang Xianyu.

In the end, Zhang Teng summoned Pei Yuan and Feng Dao. In addition to letting them act as angels to assist Yin Yaozi and Yin Zhengqi in handling affairs, Zhang Teng also planned to let them go to Songzhou and Fuzhou in the northwest of Sichuan.

More importantly, although Feng Dao's political achievements were not obvious at this time, he had a great advantage, that is, he was not jealous and could support the virtuous.

At this time, piercing does not affect oneself, but also affects children and grandchildren.

Just at this time, Yin Yaozi and Yin Zhengqi presented a memorial from the Chengdu Mansion, and what Zhang Tie was worried about was really fermenting.

In addition, Ma Zhaoyuan, the commander of the Pingshu army, was promoted to Chen Guogong by the Duke of Jiuquan County.

Among the army that conquered Shu from Kuimen, Guo Rong was granted the title of Uncle Xinzhou, Zhao Kuangyin was granted the title of Uncle Zhongzhou, and Du Lun Chixin Jin was granted the title of Marquis of Lintao.

For example, in ordinary military schools, if they go to a banquet to roll their names, they can sing Ping Shuyang's martial arts minister so and so.

Zhang Ting also specially bestowed the title of hero to the generals of the army above Yuhou, and he was a hero to Pingshu and Yangwu.

Er Zhujing was granted the Duke of Jincheng, Jiao Jixun and Li Rong also received the coveted titles, Jiao Jixun was granted the title of Marquis of Chenggu, and Li Rong was granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang.Wang Tong was named the Duke of Xingyuan County by Hou Jin of Wucheng.

Old Master Zhang became angry and stiffened his neck, even Zhang Ting often had to back down.

When arriving in Hanzhou (Guanghan), Yin Zhengqi, the commander of the army who took control of the situation for Zhang Tie, even left Chengdu to greet Hanzhou in person, which shows the urgency of his mood.

At the same time, Zhang Wei is also planning to release Liu Tao, the servant of Zhongshu, to serve as the counselor and minister of the Ministry of Rites who were vacated by Feng Dao.

After the meeting, Yin Zhengqi didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly put two questions on the table.

At this time, the officers of the various guards and armies also entered the arena. These military academies who were flying to the sky in the middle of Sichuan finally remembered the strict military law again, and some people were even frightened and began to confess their crimes on the spot.

Since Zhang Tie did not give Yin Yaozi full power and Jieyue when he entered Shu, he must first report the rewards for meritorious deeds after the war, and he cannot reward meritorious soldiers without authorization.

Although this famous tumbler in history was not used very much in Zhang Ting's dynasty, it was relatively speaking. The Minister of Rites was also a very important link for Zhang Ting who was under the banner of restoring Zhou rites.

Except for the monks of the Six Fazongs, it was entirely dependent on the Tubo and Qiang clans who had received Sinicization in Huangshuifu (Shanzhou), Hezhou, Taozhou and other places.

The noise was like a gust of wind that came occasionally, and it came and went quickly. As soon as Zhang Xiancun and Zhang Xianyu came out, the military academy gates were all in good order.

Zhang Ting thought for a while, isn't it just the time to give Pei Yuan and Feng Dao military merit?

On the third day of June, before Mrs. Huarui arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Ting took Pei Yuan and Feng Dao as angels, and with Zhang Ting's will, began to go to Chengdu Mansion to help Yin Zhengqi appease the army.

After this operation, Zhang Tie only felt dizzy and dizzy, but this is a necessary skill for an emperor, and it is not over yet.

This is the era when warriors can go to heaven, not to mention that in these military academies, there are many imperial soldiers and dental soldiers from the Central Plains who have been converted to vote.

But for the Zanpus who were already falling apart on the plateau and the local primitive beliefs, it was a painful experience.

There is no Lumi or other special treatment for the title of meritorious official, but it can be used when the name is called at the banquet, and these words can be engraved on the picture and tombstone. It can also be solemn when the local county annals, celebrity biographies, and genealogy are compiled. Make a note.

Liu Tao, as the servant of Zhongshu, now suddenly went out to the foreign court to serve as a political advisor and minister of rites, and his status was obviously lowered. In this regard, Liu Tao should do a good job of appeasing him.

The special merit and first-class merit of the later republics evolved from this.

It is known in history that people in the world, both inside and outside the court, no matter whether they are wise or foolish, all respect Taoism as the elder, and they like to praise him.

Er Zhujing, Jiao Jixun, Li Rong, and Wang Tongtong were among the four who contributed the most to Hanzhong.

So in this way, in order to maintain the balance between the internal and external courts, Zhang Ting had to strengthen the authority of the external court, otherwise the external court would become a vassal of the internal court, which would not be good for Zhang Tie.

. . . .

And after the soldiers entered the Chengdu Mansion, many of them were agitated by the great work of destroying the country, and their minds were a little dizzy.

Cai State was a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period, but Qi State was one of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period. Its prestige is not comparable to that of Cai State.

But Zhang Xichong was not there, and none of He Ning, Zhao Ying, Wei Renpu and others in the outer dynasty had such ability and courage.

The second is to subtly show the outside world that Liu Tao has not lost the emperor's favor, but is the emperor's absolute confidant, so he is willing to sacrifice for the emperor.

After thinking about it, there is only one way now, and that is to push Feng Dao first and let Feng Dao take Zhang Xichong's place.

As the ascetic monks and Rinpoche from Hexi continued to enter the Qingtang, in conjunction with Zhang Ting's great prestige and strength, the above two were beaten to the ground.

The second disguise is to show that Liu Tao's status is still below Feng Dao's, giving Wai Chao another boost.

Moreover, when Zhang Bing concentrated a large amount of power in Zhongshu Province, the outer court still had considerable power and authority, which largely relied on Zhang Xichong's strength in front of Zhang Bing.

Pei Yuan and Yin Zhengqi looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was no riot.

It is much easier to deal with these middle and lower-level officers now, and then let them deal with the soldiers under them.

After the military discipline is cleared up, find out some early birds and deal with them severely, and then announce the rewards to the soldiers.

Give a sweet date with a stick, and they should be able to calm down their free hearts, become the emperor's sharp claws again, and be able to deeply understand the majesty of military law.
