Talents are rare, and making good use of them is even more rare. Due to Zhao Pu¡¯s improper employment of personnel, many problems occurred during the Reform and Northern Expedition, and Zhang Jun was one of the unfortunate ones. If Zhang Jun were a local official, he would definitely be an outstanding official. It's a pity that he was sent to the northwest and became the marshal of the Northwest Army, but problems arose. Zhang Jun made a mistake, and he cannot escape the blame. "I decree that Zhang Jun be summoned tomorrow!" Zhao Pu said with a slight sigh. It¡¯s been a month since Zhang Jun returned to Hangzhou, and it¡¯s time to summon him. ¡¡¡ It has been a month since I returned to Hangzhou. Amidst the uneasiness, Zhang Jun waited quietly. He was worried and uneasy, not knowing what his future fate would be. However, the position of prime minister was about to leave, and he had to live a life of being demoted! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????No matter it was for a variety of reasons, he could not escape the blame. At this moment, Zhang Jun can only look for connections and people to plead for mercy. But after searching for a while, he found that no one was willing to help him. The officialdom is like a battlefield, even more cruel than the battlefield. There are many who add insult to injury; there are very few who offer help in times of trouble. The so-called human feelings are fragile in the face of some big things. Zhang Jun was confused, lost, and a little confused, waiting quietly for the emperor's decision. Finally, news came from the palace that the emperor was going to summon him in the Lecture Hall. "Xuan Zhang Jun goes to the palace!" said a young eunuch. "Wei Chen takes the edict!" Zhang Jun walked into the hall while trembling with fear. There are no luxurious furnishings in the Martial Arts Hall, but only coarse ore, bold and unrestrained. And above. Sitting there was the young Emperor Zhao Pu. After two years of absence, the Emperor began to grow a beard. There is no hair on my mouth, and I can't do anything. Wearing a beard can bring dignity to a person. Reduce the feeling of contempt caused by being too young. Zhao Pu¡¯s biggest asset is that he is young and has enough time to cultivate his health, accumulate national strength, and kill every enemy. Won the final victory; but being too young was also his biggest shortcoming. His young age gave the ministers a sense of contempt, and they felt that the emperor was easy to bully. During the years when Zhao Pu first ascended the throne, some ministers specially fought with Zhao Pu. To specifically oppose Zhao Pu is to show contempt and want to use this to sway the emperor. After all, power is limited. If the emperor's power is too great, the power of his ministers will be relatively reduced. In order to seize power, it is best to suppress the emperor. It¡¯s a pity that Zhao Pu is not willing to be Chongzhen. How could we hand over a series of powers, so there was a subsequent confrontation. Finally, after a series of fights, a relative balance was finally reached between the power of the monarch and his ministers. And after that, Zhao Pu started to grow a beard and pretend to be serious! With the corner of his eye scanning, Zhang Jun felt that the emperor was even more unfathomable. "Two years ago, the emperor was like a sword, with its edge clearly visible, giving people a sense of sharpness and invincibility; but now the emperor. It's like a mountain or the sea, giving people a sense of unpredictability. The emperor has matured a lot, Zhang Jun said silently in his heart. "Please sit down!" The emperor spoke, with only two cold words. "Thank you, Wei Chen!" Zhang Jun sat on the chair. Wei Wei sat there with no expression on his face. Zhao Pu observed Zhang Jun carefully. Face is the growth ring of a person. By observing the face, you can see the essence of a person. At this moment, Zhang Jun's eyes were a little haggard, and he was obviously tortured by the defeat; and his body still had the aura of being dusty, as if he was extremely tired; and Zhang Jun had a scholarly temperament and a hint of a military general. Heroic. Before meeting Zhang Jun, Zhao Pu had resentment towards Zhang Jun, hated him to death, and had the urge to kill people; but after seeing Zhang Jun, the urge to kill people disappeared. Only eight words flashed in my mind, "If you are determined to kill the thief, you will be unable to save him." A feeling of sympathy arose in Zhao Pu's heart. He and Zhang Jun are both the same type of people. Zhang Jun is good at talking about war on paper. When he ascended the throne in Daming Mansion, he followed him around, talking about the art of war and military politics. He was very unique. This is why Zhao Pu placed Zhang Jun in the northwest. Let's try to see the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Who should he choose? He is good at strategy and planning, but he is poor at actual combat and tactics. On the big picture, I can have a good grasp, but in terms of detailed operations, there are too many shortcomings. This is very similar to him. Zhao Pu is essentially an armchair strategist. His grasp of the big strategy is okay, but in actual operation, there are constant shortcomings. Just like this timeDuring the Northern Expedition, plans were decoupled from reality again and again. In Zhao Pu's plan, the Central Route Army attacked Bianliang, mainly to contain the enemy; the East Route Army had the largest number of troops, mainly to seize Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and eliminate part of the main force of the Jin Army; while the West Route Army mainly focused on holding on to contain the Jin Army. Part of the Jin army; on the sea road, there was some color of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao. It's a pity that in actual combat, the Central Route Army, which was originally a partial division, fought the most brilliantly, outperforming other armies; while the East Route Army, which had high hopes, did not only rush, but also faced off. After more than a year, it finally pursued. The results were also dismal; while the Western Route Army originally focused on defense, it turned into an active attack and suffered heavy losses. As for the sea route, it was mainly about encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, harassing and attacking, but it turned into a big battle. In short, the actual combat was greatly decoupled from the plan. Fortunately, the decoupling was severe and the goal was achieved. "Zhang Jun, do you know your guilt!" Suddenly, Zhao Pu shouted, his expression was a little ferocious, his expression was very angry, but his heart was extremely calm. This is the performing art of the emperor. When he is very angry, he is very calm; when he is very calm, he is very angry. The emperor was very particular about suppressing his anger, but in essence he was moody, making the world unable to grasp the rhythm. "Wei Chen, I'm guilty!" Zhang Jun stood up and knelt on the ground, finally letting go of his uneasy mood. "It is better for the emperor to curse someone with his mouth than not to curse at all, and keep it in his heart." "Have you written the apology letter?" "Wei Chen has already written it and handed in three points!" "Yes!" Zhao Pu nodded and said to the eunuch on the side: "Find it for me!" The eunuch hurriedly went down. In the basket, start looking. There are too many folds, and there are so many of them that it is impossible to review them. Although the cabinet is responsible for handling a large part of it, the number is still quite large. Zhao Pu didn't look at some unimportant ones at all. Zhao Pu did not read Zhang Jun's three confessions. Soon after, the eunuch found three pieces of information, which were exactly the ones that Zhang Jun used to plead guilty. Zhang Jun was still kneeling, and Zhao Pu began to look through the apology document. "The apology book is very literary, but it also contains a lot of nonsense. It is very literary, because it is a prose with outstanding style; but there is also a lot of nonsense, mainly because Zhao Pu is the emperor, and he is not in the mood and has no time to read prose. With limited time, the maximum amount of work must be done. Therefore, most of the ministers in the DPRK will be long if they have something to say, and short if they have nothing to say, and strive to be concise and clear. "However, Zhang Jun has obviously been a local marshal for a long time and has not gotten used to the rhythm of officials in the capital. He apologized and wrote it in gorgeous prose. It is good-looking, but there is also a lot of nonsense. The first apology document mainly describes the combat process in detail, the reasons for the defeat, and the complex relationship between the various factions of the Northwest Army. There is not a word of apology in the article, nor does it point out that there are many factions in the northwest, which make it difficult to cooperate, leading to the defeat. However, it gives people a clear perspective and restores a trace of the battlefield. The second apology document mainly talks about one's own shortcomings, mostly blaming one's own shortcomings, such as being ambitious but lacking in talent, underestimating the enemy and rushing forward, etc. Because there were too many self-blames, it gave people a sense of sincerity, and Zhao Pu was embarrassed to criticize again. The third plea is mainly to retreat in order to advance, and to ask His Majesty to severely punish him in order to improve military discipline. With three quotes, Zhao Pu has already said everything he wanted to say, and there is no point in saying it again. Zhao Pu¡¯s mood was complicated, and a hint of ferocity flashed in his heart. Sure enough, he was in the officialdom, and there was no simple role. They said that the ancients were simple. Simple shit, at least Zhang Jun is not simple at all. But it¡¯s right to think about it, no one in the officialdom is a fuel-efficient lamp! A fuel-efficient lamp cannot be used in officialdom! Doesn¡¯t Zhang Junbi know his guilt? Then keep kneeling! "One general is incompetent and the whole army will be exhausted." A general can find countless reasons for mistakes, but no amount of reasons can avoid mistakes. Kneel down a little longer to forgive the fallen soldiers! PS: There will be another update in the evening
