Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 359
Shen Zhezi summoned all the generals in the Dudu's Mansion near Xuanyangmen, but the content of the discussion had nothing to do with the worries of those in Dongtang.

There are only four official subordinates under the name of the Dudu Mansion, but Shen Zhezi now controls the military affairs of the capital, and there are many generals.Moreover, like Yu Manzhi and other aristocratic sons who did not have specific military positions earlier, now Shen Zhezi also took advantage of his position to give them a position in the Guarding Army Mansion.In addition to the original or newly promoted among the guards, there are twenty or thirty middle-level generals gathered in the entire Dudu Mansion.

Gather all the generals today, and the main task is to issue appointment orders.Shen Zhezi promoted these people earlier, to some extent, he crossed the line, not to mention that he himself did not have the power to appoint middle-level generals, even if he was given this position by the Central Guard Army, but the rightful source of power is still in Jingkou. line table.

Yu Tiao and the others not only brought reinforcements, but also the imperial edict from Zhongshu. There was no change in his original duties, except that he was formally appointed to supervise the construction of the Kangzhu Army, and he was also given the title of Zuobu Lieutenant of the Guarding Army Mansion. part time.The rank of this part-time job is not high, only four hundred stones, but the power is heavy, and he can directly appoint generals with a thousand stones or less!
With this mission, whoever Shen Zhezi appoints is no longer a wartime expedient measure, but with legal legitimacy, even after the peace is over, these missions can be retained and will not be abolished.

As the appointment orders were issued, all the generals inevitably burst into smiles.Those sons of aristocratic families are fine, even if they don't serve in the military, they will have a better career in the future.For example, Shen Mu, himself a fourth-class noble, held a post in East Yangzhou, which had just been promoted, and also had a sixth-class military general rank in the Hujun Mansion.Assigning them a position right now is only for the purpose of having a basis for rewarding the meritorious service in the future.

But for those generals who have no background, this job is very precious.Martial arts are already despised nowadays, and it is extremely difficult for them to be promoted, and most of the time, even if they have military achievements, it will take a lot of work and wait a long time for the rewards to be implemented.Or it was because of such low efficiency that Su Wei had no fighting spirit.

But now, whether it is the original guard generals or those who surrendered before the battle, almost everyone has increased their original rank.Some of them are indeed outstanding in military exploits, and they even increase their official ranks. In the past, this was an improvement that was difficult to achieve in a lifetime of hard work!

Shen Zhezi has always felt that, without interests, all behaviors that only talk about moral accomplishment and ideals are hooligans.Right now, he may not be able to fight against the long-sluggish world style, but from now on, he must establish an image of clear rewards and punishments for himself.If you want others to sacrifice their lives to fight with you, you must at least ensure that every bit of their struggle is worthwhile.

After being promoted, Shen Zhezi ordered all the generals to return to the camp and wait in line to go to Jiangling to collect military supplies.The boat master who came from the platform may be embarrassed, but the supplies delivered are urgently needed by Jiankang.

After all the generals had dispersed, Shen Zhezi summoned the guards who were in charge of watching outside the main hall of Taiji East Hall, asked about the change of the atmosphere inside, felt that the fire was almost ready, and then set off to return to the East Hall.

At this time, the hall was already in chaos, and the ministers gathered in a pile, some were silent, some had a lot of resentment towards Director Wang, and some began to scold Shen Zhezi for being too arrogant.

However, as Shen Zhezi's figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, all the chaotic voices disappeared immediately, and the entire hall was silent, and everyone stared at Shen Zhezi, waiting for him to make a final decision.

"Weizhou, do you really need to leave Taicheng? If this can keep the military out of Taicheng, what pity will I have on my life and death! Just give me a sword and swear that I won't share it with the traitor for a day!"

Right Guard General Liu Chao got up and said with great emotion, but as soon as he uttered these words, he quickly attracted several eyes of deep resentment.

"Everyone has their own strengths. It is indeed heroic to charge into battle and swear to kill the enemy, but all the princes are chosen by the country. Those who enjoy the state's salary of two thousand stones, if they only rely on their blood to fight to the death with that poor warrior, it is really a waste of money! If you throw yourself lightly I just want to be happy for a while, who will entrust the state affairs in the future?"

Someone scolded Liu Chao with righteous words, and was deeply disdainful for his reckless remarks. His confident tone and expression made people suspect that he already had a wonderful strategy to shake the feather fan and stabilize the world.

No matter what people are saying, Shen Zhezi's statement is the most important right now.Everyone watched him slowly sit in the table, although they were very disturbed, they didn't dare to speak to urge him.

"The proposal of the Taibao is indeed sincere for the country, regardless of selfishness, which is really admirable to the juniors!"

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, everyone's hearts beat faster. Is this to follow the trend and agree to Director Wang's proposal?
"However, since the younger generation is highly trusted by all the officials and recommended as the military governor, if the situation is not urgent and it is absolutely necessary, how dare you give up!"

Pfft!
Suddenly there was an abrupt sound in the quiet hall, and everyone followed the sound. It turned out that one person was listening sideways and was too focused. Unknowingly, his body overwhelmed the table in front of him, and he rolled to the ground in a slightly embarrassed state.However, everyone is not in the mood to laugh at others at the moment. They all heard a turning point in Shen Zhezi's tone, and some people couldn't help asking: "What does the son-in-law mean..."

Shen Zhezi smiled and said to Liu Chao: "The right guard is loyal and strong, it is admirable. However, since the younger generation is responsible for military affairs, how dare you shirk it to others. No matter how fierce the bandit soldiers are, they are only at the end of their strength. The younger generation dare not say that they will conquer. Do your best! All the policemen are asked to live in Taichung, and each should perform his own responsibilities. As long as the younger generation has a piece of armor to survive, the thieves will not be allowed to cross the wall!"

"The son-in-law speaks loudly and has lofty ambitions, which is truly extraordinary and lofty!"

As Shen Zhezi's words fell, several people in the hall immediately praised Shen Zhezi.It is true that there is no shortage of options for people at the time, but it is undeniable that when the real thing comes to an end, it is rare to be able to remain calm.Even though the others did not speak out in their own identities, when they heard Shen Zhezi's statement, when they looked over again, their gazes were much gentler, and they no longer had the resentment and disgust they had before.

Director Wang heard everyone's words in the banquet, but there was only a trace of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.People are calculating on their own in the game, and it is inevitable that they will be angry with each other. He is a player in the game, but he must maintain the stability of the whole situation and not be overturned by others.Earlier, Shen Zhezi's strict prohibition made the ministers boil with resentment. Now he is willing to hurt himself to calm down the other party's grievances, but asks the other party not to be agitated and do things that are harmful to the current situation.

Shen Zhezi has made such a statement, and it seems that he has understood his painstaking efforts.But Dao Wang didn't have much joy in his heart, he just felt tired for a while.He was even a little envious of this young man's youthful age, and he was full of determination in his actions. Then he thought about the pain of losing his son, and his clan brothers conspired with others regardless of his safety, and he felt even more alone and lonely.

Shen Zhezi looked at the completely different attitudes towards him from the crowd at the banquet, and he was also not in a good mood.Sometimes he really wants to let go of his hands and feet and wipe out these sleazy and dog-like people, but he also knows in his heart that the world is more corrupt than the human heart. Come fast.

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi was really impatient to listen to the boring praises from the crowd, so he said in the table: "Later, the younger generation will return to the army to make arrangements, hoping to resist the counterattack of the Stone City rebels. If necessary, you may not I have lived in Taicheng for a long time, and it is dangerous for His Majesty the Emperor and the public security, please abide by the prohibition and do not relax. I hope you will forgive me if I am rude!"

"Please don't worry, son-in-law, we are by no means low-minded people, and we should act with extraordinary orders at extraordinary times. Whoever dares to complain because of this, simply doesn't understand the general situation!"

With the false alarm earlier, everyone no longer felt that the ban was embarrassing them, even though some people patted their chests and assured them.

"When this junior leaves the city, please also invite the Taibao to enter the palace to protect His Majesty the Emperor from being disturbed."

Shen Zhezi was able to force Director Wang to cooperate with him this time because he knew where Director Wang's bottom line was, but Director Wang didn't know what his bottom line was.Such a cooperation to resolve the resentment I had suffered earlier is actually not clever, and I can't hide it from the real people of insight.So Shen Zhezi simply didn't give Wang Dao a chance to stay in Taicheng to defend himself, and directly transferred him to the emperor's side to guard him.In this way, even if other people are aware of it, they can only think that Director Wang used this as a bargaining chip to make a deal with himself, in order to get closer to the emperor.

And Shen Zhezi is not worried that Director Wang will use this to exert any influence on the little emperor. His brother-in-law was very sad when he learned that Nanyuan was burned. It's fun, how can I have time to listen to what Director Wang has to say.

Director Wang didn't say much after hearing the words, but just nodded silently.The biggest reason for his current embarrassment is that there is no strong enough force outside to respond to him. The clan brother Wang Shu originally arranged, and Huaibei Xijian, who had been friends with him, did not play their due role in the process. , with few cards in his hand, and meeting a captain-in-law who is familiar with the rules but does not abide by the rules, he really feels helpless.

After Shen Zhezi left the East Hall, he made a series of adjustments to the troops.Lu Yong's department, which was originally reorganized in Fuzhou Mountain, was transferred to his direct subordinate, and went to the south of Dazheng to garrison, while Shen Mu led his troops into Taicheng to take over the overall defense of Taicheng.

After sending Director Wang into the garden to guard him, Shen Zhezi stuffed Yu Manzhi in by the way.This kid was badly injured during the sneak attack on the Xiadu Shipyard, his head was almost cut open, and he was already unable to go to the battlefield. He was very happy to get a seventh-class general, and he happened to stay in the garden to recuperate.

As for the other trusted generals, Shen Zhezi brought them all to Dahengnan, not for the purpose of counterattacking Stone City, but because he had a brain twitch to provoke Su Yi, who was already red-eyed.In the past few days, he has been addicted to controlling the Taiyuan, and even important officials like Wang Dao have been ordered around by him.

Leaving Taicheng at this time is to leave a transitional period for himself. If his prediction is not bad, reinforcements from all walks of life should arrive in Jiankang one after another in the next few days.If you take the initiative to withdraw, you will not be too hasty in advancing and retreating, and you can be much calmer.

　It's three o'clock. . .Thank you for your support. . .a little late, sorry
