- Chapter 122 Drastic Changes 10
Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.
Guo Wei received the joint memorial from Zhe Congruan and Han Yi and was overjoyed to learn that the chaos in Gyeongju was over.
Now that the world is divided and the four sides are not at peace, the imperial court has quelled the Qingzhou rebellion this time without using the imperial army, which greatly deterred the Tibetan tribes in the northwest and greatly increased the national prestige.
Within seven days, twenty-three Tibetan families from Qing and Huan came forward to declare their vassal status. Even Li Yiyin, the local emperor of Xiazhou, had to come forward to celebrate.
"Are there any prisoners to offer?" Guo Wei asked his ministers somewhat proudly. Han Yi is his favorite general, and Han Yi's meritorious service naturally shows that Guo Wei is a useful person.
Fan Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No!"
"How could a large tribe of several thousand people not have a single prisoner?" Guo Wei couldn't help but be surprised.
"Your Majesty, the leader Li Wanquan was killed in the rebellion. The other leaders died or fled. A few tribesmen fled across the Hengshan Mountains. The population of the rest of the tribes was divided up by the participating Tibetan tribes. Therefore, Duke Zheling was unable to offer prisoners to the court. "Privy Councilor Wei Renpu said.
"Hmph, this must be the result of that boy Han Yi. I allow him to act expediently, use barbarians to control barbarians, and the court will reap the benefits of others. I order him to be careful, don't cultivate another Tuoba Sigong! You must know that if he is not of my race, his heart must be different!"
Han Yi used profit as bait to gather together the Tibetan warriors to form a Tibetan field force, which quickly reached more than 15,000 people. The number of these 15,000 Tibetan soldiers is quite considerable. The soldiers come from various tribes. It can be said that there is me among you and you among me. They check and balance each other. No one can be the dominant one. It has become a delicate combination and balance, and Han Of course, Yi became the only recognized commander of this army.
Guo Wei had managed the Tibetan soldiers under Liu Zhiyuan before and knew that the Tibetan soldiers were difficult to manage.
Although Fan Zhi was a scholar, he was not a pedantic person. He said:
"On the line between Hengshan and Longshan, the tribes and tribes live together and are extremely powerful. The Marquis of Beihai is not allowed to adopt this strategy of using barbarians to control the barbarians. After all, the imperial court's enemies are in Hebei and Dayuan, and they have no time to go west. It's just that the Marquis of Beihai's methods are a bit scary. As the saying goes, if we cannot effectively control the Tibetan soldiers, we may be able to plant the seeds of disaster. Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to ensure that all the rewards requested by Zhen Zhe and Han are honored in time. As for the others, Zhe and Han must deal with them carefully. "
"Okay! As requested by Ruan and Han Yi, Tuoba Xiong and other thirteen tribal chiefs each have their own positions and rewards, whether for regiment training, defense, or inspection. Depending on the rank, they are all paid by the imperial court. Officers. The officers and soldiers also rewarded them according to the regulations. Money and materials were withdrawn immediately without delay."
Guo Wei was a little angry on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart. He immediately rewarded those who deserved them, just because he was afraid that Han Yi would play too big and not be able to swallow them. This is the difference between old people and young people. They are more stable but less energetic.
Although Han Yi was on the border, in order to act decisively, he could hide it from the court bosses, but he would not hide it from Guo Wei. Over the course of three days, Han Yi sent secret documents directly to Guo Wei's desk. He stated everything in detail, without hiding anything. This made Guo Wei always feel that he was in control. This feeling is the reason why Guo Wei feels relieved about Qingzhou. If Han Yi didn't ventilate it to him in advance, but killed him first and then played it out, so that Guo Wei's eyes would be blackened, the result would be different.
"Your Majesty, the Tibetan chiefs have rewarded them, and so have the officers and soldiers. How should commanders Zhe Congruan and Han Yi be rewarded?" Zheng Renjie reminded him quickly when he saw that Guo Wei seemed to have forgotten the key point.
"Zhe Congruan is already the Duke of your country, and he is also the Minister and Prime Minister. If you reward him again, you can only be crowned the king. This time, he will open an additional mansion and add 500 households in Shishi. He will also order five of his descendants to be named sons. To report back to me, I will promise his children a good job."
"What about Han Yi?" Zheng Renjie asked. In fact, people who are familiar with the inside story know that Han Yi secretly planned and led, persuaded the Tibetan people, and used the barbarians to control the barbarians. He was the biggest contributor. He was just following the trend.
"I haven't decided yet." Guo Wei gave a vague answer.
Guo Wei always felt that today was a bit strange. Looking around, he suddenly realized that an important person was missing. He stroked his forehead and said in surprise:
"Why did Wang Xiufeng come here to discuss this matter today? Is he not sick?"
Fan Zhi was shocked. Wang Jun usually would not be absent from this occasion. He didn't know that. He thought that Wang Jun had asked Guo Wei for leave beforehand, but he just didn't say hello to Fan Zhi - Wang Jun didn't follow him if he had something to do. Ventilating yourself first is nothing new.
Wei Renpu said calmly: "I heard that Mr. Wang drank a lot of wine last night and is still hungover."
"Oh? Wang Xiufeng rarely misses business due to drunkenness. I wonder who he drank with last night. Why didn't he invite me to ask for a few drinks?" Guo Wei said in surprise.
"They seem to be some senior generals of the Forbidden Army." Wei Renpu said lightly, but a thunder exploded in everyone's hearts.
The expressions of the people in the palace were different, and everyone fell silent. The prime minister of the current government spoke privately to the leader of the army.Generals get together, this is a sensitive topic.
Guo Wei's expression changed. He was a very well-mannered man. He was no longer the soldier who dared to kill people in the street thirty years ago. He climbed the dragon gate, wore dragon robes, became the emperor and commanded the world, and he was even more able to hide his true thoughts. :
"Well, Wang Xiufeng was an important minister in the previous dynasty and also led troops. He has many old colleagues in the army. Now, as a prime minister, it is rare for him to ignore his noble status and drink with the rough guys in the army. Come on. Man, take out ten jars of fine wine from my palace and send them to Xiufeng Mansion, saying it is my will."
Guo Wei emphasized the word "I" very seriously.
As soon as these ten jars of fine wine were delivered to Wang Jun's house, Wang Jun realized that Guo Wei was a little dissatisfied, and immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience. When the monarch and his ministers sat down, Wang Jun said:
"Your Majesty, I am old. I drank too much last night and missed today's court meeting. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Wang Jun confessed, but there was no sense of guilt on his face.
Guo Wei met with Wang Jun in a newly built pavilion in the palace. It is said that Wang Jun had great power. He once thought that the house in the Privy Council was too dilapidated, so he built a large building with extreme luxury. When it was completed, he invited Guo Wei to visit.
The country was very poor at that time, and Guo Wei himself would think twice before making a new dragon robe. But you, Wang Jun, were generous and took the money from the treasury as money. The more Guo Wei thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. After returning from the visit, he built a house himself, so he had this beautiful pavilion today. However, when the pavilion was still completed, Wang Jun said in turn that Guo Wei was inconsiderate of the country's difficulties and wasted money. This incident made Guo Wei feel aggrieved and unhappy for a long time.
Meeting Wang Jun in this pavilion today, Guo Wei had a profound intention. He just wanted to remind Wang Jun who is the master of this empire.
"Brother Xiufeng is serious. I heard that you drank ten glasses of wine last night. You can drink at least two kilograms. Lian Po is not old." Guo Wei said with a smile, "I am getting old, and my drinking capacity is obviously not as good as before when I was in the army. When it hits."
When no one else is present, Guo Wei will not regard himself as the emperor in front of Wang Jun, and usually addresses himself as you and me.
"Haha, the emperor's drinking capacity is unmatched by the veterans. Among the military leaders, none of them can drink more than you. Otherwise, how can you be the emperor?" Wang Jun said with a smile.
He correctly pointed out who would do the most to make him the emperor, Guo Wei. If Wang Jun hadn't worked hard to persuade the generals to rebel against Guo Wei, it was not certain who would become the emperor.
As they were being affectionate, Guo Wei could clearly feel that there was a problem between Wang Jun and himself. The previous friendship where they knew everything and talked about everything was getting weaker and weaker. In the past, when there were conflicts, there might still be a layer of veil between them. , now seems to be separated by a mountain:
"Brother Xiufeng, have you heard about what happened in Qingzhou?"
"The court reporter has seen it, and Duke Zheling and the Marquis of Beihai have done a good job. In particular, Qingzhou did not use the capital's troops to quell the rebellion this time, and the court did not spend much money. Well, it seems that His Majesty's pockets are also bigger than I used to play drums a lot." Wang Jun joked.
"Since the chaos in Qingzhou is over, Zan Jurun and other civil servants and governors can be considered good ministers. With them guarding our side and resuming production, I think the situation in the northwest has been decided. Brother Xiufeng, do you think Han Yi should be transferred back?" Guo Wei probed. road.
"Your Majesty, you must not!" Wang Jun said loudly before Guo Wei finished speaking.
"Why?" Guo Wei raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, although the Pheasant clan has been wiped out, the remnants of the remnants are still there, not to mention that the Tibetan people live together in the northwest Helong. Who really surrenders to the imperial court? If there is no strong person to guard it, the Tibetan people will be bolder. Your Majesty, you Don't forget, there is also Li Yiyin in Xiazhou. This guy is a big disaster. The court must get rid of him as soon as possible before his wings are full. So I thought" Wang Jun looked at Guo Wei's face and continued:
"So I believe that if the imperial court wants to fundamentally stabilize the northwest, Li Yiyin must be eliminated. Only the Marquis of Beihai, both inside and outside the court, is worthy of this important task!"
Guo Wei was disappointed in his heart. He had no plans to transfer Han Yi back immediately. Although Wang Jun's words were high-sounding, he knew that Wang Jun still had no tolerance for others and was afraid that Han Yi would come back to fight for power with him.
Although he was disappointed in his heart, Guo Wei slapped his thigh and said with a smile:
"Brother Xiufeng and the Marquis of Beihai, both civil and military, inside and outside, are really my right and left arms. You guys want to work together!"
"Does the Marquis of Beihai also have plans for Xiazhou?" Wang Jun's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and his face showed anger, "Yes, the Zhenbei Army and the Cavalry Army were transferred to the river together with the cavalry army years ago to prepare for Taiyuan's attack. It was strange at the time, thinking that this move was a big move. Although the Liu family of Taiyuan was disobedient, the Liu family had lost their vitality and had no strength to invade the south. It turned out that it was prepared for Li Yinyi. Your Majesty, you have even deceived me. I am still a privy councilor after all. The envoy is in charge of the mobilization of troops and horses."
"Brother Xiufeng forgives the sin, and celebrated at that timeThe matter was urgent, so I couldn't do anything about it, for fear that the news would be exposed and Xiazhou and Qingzhou would be in chaos, which would really lead to a big disaster. "Guo Wei explained.
"Your Majesty is still worried about me. Isn't it that the twenty years of friendship between you and me that share weal and woe is not as good as that of a young man like Han Yi?" Wang Jun's face was filled with anger.
"Where do you start talking about Xiufeng?" Guo Wei said quickly, "Han Yi is a junior and a junior to you and me. Brother Xiufeng, you have a lot, so why bother to compete with him? You are both civil and military, so work well together. Isn¡¯t it a blessing to the country?¡±
"Your Majesty, I am old. I feel tired after saying a few words today, so I have to say goodbye!" Wang Jun stood up, mechanically arched his hands, and was about to leave the palace.
"Xiufeng stays, I have prepared good wine and food in the palace. I will eat before leaving. You and I haven't talked together for many days." Guo Wei said anxiously.
"Your temple is too big, I feel uncomfortable." Wang Jun walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Looking at Wang Jun¡¯s angry back, Guo Wei once again felt that this old man was really strange.
"Your Majesty, this meal"
The chamberlain asked carefully.
??Guo Wei is a person who values ??emotions. Although since ancient times, everyone has been more ruthless and ruthless in power struggles, Guo Wei is such a person. People who value emotions are not too bad people:
"Pick two and send them over. Don't let the rest go to waste. Let the servants divide it."
After Guo Wei had lunch, he drove to the imperial study. The consort Zhang Yongde was ordered to wait there.
"Xiangong Wang has a new concubine. This is not a big deal. He didn't plan to hold a big banquet. He only invited some old concubines. Maybe this is just an excuse." Zhang Yongde said, even though he was also dissatisfied with Wang Jun, this I responded to the whistleblower for the first time without adding any fuel to the fire.
"I heard that many people from the Forbidden Army attended the banquet." Guo Wei asked.
Zhang Yongde is not an outsider, and he has no scruples about what others say:
"Father, there are many people in the Forbidden Army who have prepared heavy gifts, such as Fan Aineng, Zhang Lingchao, etc. You know, there will always be people in this world who follow the trend of the times, let alone important ministers like Wang Xianggong. However, the two military commanders Guo Chong and Cao Ying, as well as myself and the generals in the army in front of Zhongjin Palace, did not go."
"Guo Chong and Cao Ying are both people who have experienced major events for a long time and have a general understanding of them. I did not misjudge them." Guo Wei nodded.
Just after lunch, Guo Wei was sitting on the bed, covered with brocade quilt, squinting his eyes and seemed a little sleepy. Zhang Yongde was about to quietly retreat, but Guo Wei suddenly said:
"Leave me the names of the generals who attended the banquet, and don't tell anyone about it!"
"yes!"
On the other side, Wang Jun returned home and drank two more cups of tea, finally feeling a little clearer. After thinking about it, Wang Jun felt a trace of regret for his words and deeds today, and the regret only flashed by.
"What does it mean to pacify the Pheasant Tribe? I'll just make a little plan" Wang Jun found a secret letter from the desk, which was a gift from Li Yiyin, the emperor of Xiazhou, the military governor of the Dingnan Army.
Li Yiyin didn't know that Wang Jun wanted to take a concubine. He inherited the legacy of his ancestors and took advantage of the chaotic situation in the Central Plains to always control the Xia and Yin states, where there were dangers of the Yellow River and Hengshan Mountain. Liang had nothing to do with him.
No matter who becomes the emperor, he must be won over and promoted to a higher position. Other Jiedu envoys may be worried about their future, but he, Li Yiyin, is not worried. Is it possible that you want to send a Han to be the leader of the party members? Don't forget, across the Yellow River, there is also the Liu family in Taiyuan. If I don't surrender to him, what will you do?
Now that the world has changed, he originally thought that the Yanzhou Gao family was a strong enemy, but when he woke up he found a threat suddenly appeared on the other side of Hengshan, so he thought he should give Wang Jun a gift.
Coincidentally, in Wang Jun¡¯s study, there are also gift lists from the Gao family in Yanzhou and Feng Jiye in Lingzhou.
Gao Yunquan, the current military governor of Yanzhou Zhangwu Army, is old and suffering from serious illness. He probably knows that his days are numbered, so he wants to pave the way for his son Gao Shaoji to inherit the military discipline while he is still alive. Put it in place.
Coincidentally, after the death of Feng Hui, the governor of Lingzhou Shuofang Jiedu, his eldest son was killed by his second son Feng Jiye. Since Feng Jiye was retained by Jiedu, this matter is no longer a secret. Feng Jiye thought that the court was going to punish him, but he saw the days passing by without any movement. It was just that his "Shuofang Army Rear Rear" had not been regularized for a long time, so he also wanted to use the back door of Wang Jun's family.
"What a great meeting!" Wang Jun couldn't help but laugh.
