Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 616 Pei is not a gentleman
In October, the Qingqiu Taoist army returned to Chang'an and returned to Emperor Zhenguan who returned to Taiji Palace.

Although he was a partial master, Xue Wanche achieved a great reputation and was worthy of Emperor Zhenguan's evaluation of the three great generals.

Li Shiji was the leader, and Li Daozong was on an equal footing with Xue Wanche.

However, Li Daozong injured his legs and feet in the Liaodong battle. He has not been able to recover to this day, and he may never be able to see the battlefield again.

After the troops were rewarded, Zhang Anan led two inner guides to carry a thin wooden box with difficulty.

Emperor Zhenguan smiled, and Zhang Ananda said expressionlessly: "This is a memorial from the officers and men of Qingqiu Road, impeaching the general manager Xue Wanche for his wanton behavior, arrogance, and bullying of the officers and men. He committed 13 common crimes."

Xue Wanche's face instantly darkened.

These bitches, didn't you see that they could achieve such military exploits under the control of this general manager?

Standing up proudly, Xue Wanche raised his wat: "Everything is true."

Yeah, yeah, I just did it, so what?

Military merit was the most important thing in the Tang Dynasty. Under Xue Wanche's brilliant military exploits, even the thirteen major crimes of decapitation could not take away Xue Wanche's head.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "The officers and soldiers who wrote the letter mentioned that they were at odds with you. I will take the credit rather than take the blame, so I will burn them."

Ahem, he said this as if he had never read those memorials.

Even if he is annoyed, Emperor Zhenguan will not take his sister-in-law's head because of this.

What will happen if this spreads out? Did the Tang Dynasty treat its heroes harshly?

Pei Xingfang, the deputy general manager of Qingqiu Road and the right guard general, showed a ferocious look. He lowered his eyebrows and raised the wat tablet: "Your Majesty, Pei Xingfang, started to report that during the attack on Bozhuo City, the general manager Xue Wanche repeatedly complained about the imperial court and insulted His Majesty and others. Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"When he uttered arrogant words, Biejiang, Zhechong Duwei, Guoyi Duwei, and Qicao Shenjun were all present, which can be corroborated."

"If what I said is true, I am willing to go to Taiwan Prison and be punished!"

Xue Wanche glared at Pei Xingfang fiercely, wishing he could eat his flesh raw.

What hatred, what hatred, you actually want to put me to death?
Xue Wanche obviously forgot about the riding crop he drew out.

A gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years, but Pei is not a gentleman!
"Master Yushi, this is your duty."

Situ Changsun Wuji spoke.

Yushitai also had the responsibility of supervising the army, which was obviously different from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Ordinary battles, checking military achievements and so on were under the control of the Procuratorate, but for generals like Xue Wanche, only Li Qianyu, the imperial censor, came forward.

Before the Qingqiu Taoist troops returned to their respective camps, Li Qianyou easily found out the specific names reported by Pei Xingfang.

Holding the dossier recorded by the Censor Zhongcheng Zhang Wencong, Li Qianyou corrected the Zheng Xiezhi crown: "I brought the Censor Zhongcheng Zhang Wencong to the Qingqiu Taoist Army for verification. What the right guard general Pei Xingfang said is true."

Xue Wanche's face was like coal, he just clenched his fists and said nothing.

These thieves are all harming me!
Xue Wanche has always been a stubborn person, otherwise he would not have led dozens of cavalry to hide in Zhongnan Mountain after Li Jiancheng's death. Emperor Zhenguan recruited him several times before he surrendered.

In Xue Wanche's heart, he was not wrong at all, it was only the thieves like Pei Xingfang who were wrong!
Since Xue Wanche made arrogant words, he should be punished as he should be.

But it would be a pity to kill this man; if not to kill him, it would be an insult to the imperial power.

Emperor Zhenguan is not a bitch!

In the corner, the unhurried voice of Tong Zhongshu's disciple, the governor of Diezhou, and the British Duke Li Shiji came out.

"Xue Wanche is the commander-in-chief of the march in the army. He is His Majesty's sister-in-law. He is still resentful towards the imperial court. He should be punished for his crime."

Xue Wanche was indeed arrogant, but he was rarely disobedient to those with abilities above him.Therefore, when Li Shiji spoke, Xue Wanche just loosened his fists and breathed out heavily from his nostrils, but acquiesced to Li Shiji's accusation.

The general of the left guard, Xue Wanbei, came out: "My minister, Xue Wanbei, would like to pledge my official title to you. Xue Wanche is just a rude and uncivilized man. He has always hurt others with his words, but he has no ill intentions. Please forgive me!"

Xue Wanbei was also helpless. It was difficult to save such a troublesome brother, and it was unjustifiable not to save him.

As for Xue Wanbei's lifespan, according to the "Old Book of Tang", he died before Xue Wanche. I don't know where the information says that he was implicated by Xue Wanche and fled to Jiaozhou.

Fan Zheng left the mission: "I thought that Xue Wanche deserved to be punished for his serious crime, but since he had served the Tang Dynasty for many years, he could be expelled and exiled."

At this time, Li Shimin could kill Xue Wanche if he was cruel, but it would not be conducive to recruiting talents to serve in the future.

Fan Zheng's suggestions were really in line with Emperor Zhenguan's wishes.

As a result, Xue Wanche was dismissed and moved to Xiangzhou, and some of the strategies based on him failed.
-
Officials in Chang'an County began to change. Ma Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, avoided seeing him, and Ma Zai, the chief of the Ministry of Personnel, emerged.

There are some unfounded claims outside that Ma Xi is the son of Ma Zai, which is quite surprising.

Ma Ji was one of the ministers buried with Zhaoling. Although his deeds are unknown, he must have been an official in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and he could not be related to Ma Zhou's grandson.

Ma Zai was jealous of Fan Zheng and couldn't come forward to avoid embarrassment, but Ma Zai was much more dignified.

No way, who told him that Aye was Ma Zhou?
This legacy alone is enough for his brother to live a safe life.

Ma Zai also had rules and regulations when doing things. Chang'an ordered Zong Zheng Ya'an and Chang'an Wei Chen Xujun not to tamper with anything, and only took the position of Chang'an Cheng, who had been promoted from the seventh rank.

The person who replaced him was originally Pei Xingjian, Cao Cao, who joined the army in the eighth rank of Zuotun Guards.

Pei Xingjian's elder brother, Pei Xingyan, was a famous general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Pei Xingjian himself was regarded as the successor of Su Dingfang, the commander of Zuowei Zhonglang.

As for Pei Xingfang and Pei Xingjian, they are of the same race and generation.

The problem is that since Su Dingfang defeated the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he has been "hiding the dragon and not using it". Pei Xingjian, who has a relationship with him, is inevitably ostracized.

"Don't think that this transfer from official position is appropriate?"

After Ma Zai made arrangements, he made a special trip to Guangde Square and exchanged opinions with Fan Zheng.

Frankly speaking, without his legacy, the manager would not be qualified to sit with Fan Zheng as host and guest.

This can be regarded as making up for the previous recklessness of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, otherwise Ma Zai would not be willing to visit the local government office.

Fan Zheng asked He Gouxiong to serve tea and said with a chuckle: "The chief may have misunderstood a little. Yongzhou has never interfered with the selection of officials by the Ministry of Personnel, but he hopes that the Ministry of Personnel will not treat the place as if it is nothing."

In a word, it's your official department who doesn't abide by the rules.

Fan Zheng didn't want to question whether Pei Xingjian relied on someone else to transfer from the army to the government.

Who doesn’t have one or two noble people?
On the contrary, Ma Zai was young and took the initiative to tell the whole story: "This son is appreciated by Duke Chu, who is ordered by Zhongshu Ling."

Normally, Chu Suiliang was a little selfish occasionally, but he did not make any mistakes in the general direction. It was indeed possible that he was trying to persuade the officials out of love for talents.

A mere seven-ranked county magistrate would not be given to anyone. How could he be deliberately targeted just because he was someone Chu Suiliang admired?
Fan Zheng's belly would definitely not be able to support the boat, but he wouldn't be so mean.

"It doesn't matter, just do your duty."

Fan Zheng also had no intention of building Yongzhou into a small fortress of the Fan family, so the infiltration of other forces was naturally inevitable.

Isn’t that what politics is like, there is me among you, and there is also you among me?
