Han Shizu

Chapter 571

After all, Liu Chengyou treated Wang Jun and Han Tong differently.If Han Tong is relegated to Xiangyang, he still has a chance to rise again. In the future, Jinghu will be pacified, and Xiangzhou soldiers will be needed.But Wang Jun was demoted to Shangzhou, otherwise, his official career basically ended here.

If in the future, Wang Jun can reflect on his own mistakes, curb his hostility, and cultivate his character, then he can live in peace until his old age. If he doesn't think about repenting, and even worsens, he may not end well.

In the eyes of people who don't understand the fundamentals and only know superficiality, the dignified commander of the bodyguard department just thought that he offended the emperor and violated the court system, so he was demoted and downgraded several levels.This has some effect on maintaining the majesty of the emperor.

Of course, Wang Jun's relegation was not only due to the mid-autumn banquet, the conflict at the Chongzheng Hall, after all, it was just an introduction.Liu Chengyou had dissatisfaction with Wang Jun for a long time. It can be traced back to the first year of Qianyou's Jifeng Mountain victory. Wang Jun was appointed as Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy.

Based on the heart of using talents, he was transferred to the center and entrusted with important tasks, but his temper did not change. Conflicts and disputes with courtiers may be within Liu Chengyou's expectations and expectations, but he was corrupt and seized power, domineering and repeated. More control will make Liu Chengyou unhappy again.

Capture Huainan and take him as the commander in chief. If you let go of the reins a little, you will be like a wild horse, wanton and arrogant.After being suppressed for a while, he restrained himself a bit. After returning to the court, Liu Chengyou ignored his mistakes and still used his merits to promote Wang Jun to the position of Marshal, which is the highest military position in the Imperial Guard.

But even so, Wang Jun was still dissatisfied, and felt that the reward was not worthy of the merit, and complained repeatedly.Since he promoted himself to the old relatives in the forbidden army, although many military positions were refuted by the Ministry of War, he was also in charge of the government, suppressing and crowding out other generals.

So, that's all, this year, Wang Jun actually found Zhi Gong Ju He Ning, and recommended a group of "talented talents" to him.He Ning did not dare to offend Wang Jun face to face, and after agreeing, he immediately reported to the emperor. As can be imagined, Wang Jun rejected none of the proposals.

There is also a reason for Wang Jun's nonsense in the Chongyuan Hall and his contempt for civil servants.Moreover, what angered Liu Chengyou the most was his sentence "The Son of Heaven favors civil servants and despises generals", which was simply rebellious and touched Liu Chengyou's sensitive areas.

To put it more seriously, this is not just talking about deceiving the emperor, it can be described as "disturbing the morale of the army and plotting wrongdoing".Once the anger and dissatisfaction accumulated over the years erupted, Liu Chengyou restrained himself by not directly ordering Wang Jun to be executed.

Of course, there is no motive to protect Han Tong, because judging from the situation in the hall, the nature of the plot of Han Tong who made a move is even worse.

After Liu Chengyou made the decision to reprimand and reprimand, the Department of Propaganda and Welfare, with a deep sense of purpose, carried out criticism and propaganda on Wang Jun's domineering and criminal behavior. Zhao Shangjiao and Tao Gu each wrote an article and sent it to the military, government, and civilians. It focuses on exaggerating the depth of Wang Jun's crimes, while showing the greatness of the emperor's benevolence.

"Officials, Wang Jun has already left to take up his post in Shangzhou!" It was Zhang Dejun who reported to Liu Chengyou.

"Did he say anything?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Before Wang Jun boarded the car, he said to the sender, 'The good bow is hidden before the birds are exhausted; the running dog is cooked before the cunning rabbit dies'." Zhang Dejun responded with a careful glance at the emperor.

"It seems like what he said!" The hand that turned the booklet paused for a while, and Liu Chengyou smiled faintly.

Zhang Dejun said with some dissatisfaction: "This Wang Jun has always taken credit and pride, but this time he was convicted and demoted. He doesn't think about his own mistakes and seeks to change. Instead, his resentment has increased sharply."

"Who sent Wang Jun off?" Liu Chengyou interrupted Zhang Dejun and asked.

Zhang Dejun also felt that he had talked too much, so he hurriedly stopped, and replied: "The head of the Ministry of War, Shen Shihou, and several former staff members of Wang Jun's department!"

"I know, you step back!" Liu Chengyou said.

"Yes!"

From the beginning to the end, Liu Chengyou was always reviewing the memorial without even raising his head.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the torrents are surging. On both sides of the Bian River, there are dense yellow willows. In a canopy by the river, Han Tong is sitting on a wooden bar, drinking hard wine.There were not many people who came to see him off, and they were all dismissed by Han Tong.

Wang Jun was dissatisfied with being demoted this time, while Han Tong was wronged, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, he made a mistake, and he only regretted that he was not clear-headed and didn't distinguish the occasion.

"You're not on duty in the Ministry of War, what are you doing here? Didn't you say, don't send me off!" Han Tong looked at his son Han Hui who came riding the horse.

Han Hui is the only son of Han Tong, who has always been loved by his father. He is a young man in his 20s. Although he looks ordinary, he has a good bearing.After entering the dormitory, he bowed and saluted: "Father travels far away, and whoever is a son of man will not send him off!"

"Furthermore, my son is here to see his father off at His Majesty's order!" Han Hui said, weighing the small jar of wine in his hand: "This is the royal wine given by Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, a look flashed in Han Tong's eyes, a little excited, and bowed towards the imperial city: "It seems that Your Majesty still misses me!"

"Hurry up, unpack it and fill it up for my father!" Han Tong poured out the wine in his glass and said to his son.

Han Hui looked very calm and orderly. He poured wine for Han Tong and filled it for himself. He raised his glass and said, "Father is going to Xiangzhou, don't take it seriously. My son is in Tokyo. I will pray day and night, and I will be healthy!"

Continuing to drink a cup, Han Tong looked at Aizi, and became more and more satisfied with his calmness and generosity, and said: "You work hard in the Ministry of War. Wei Renpu is the prime minister, and his talents are praised by the Manchu Dynasty and are well received by His Majesty. Trust, it is a rare opportunity to work and experience by his side!"

"As for me, you don't have to worry. If you make a mistake, you will be demoted. Xiangzhou is a good place, and Duke Xing is also a good boss. My life will be much better than that of Wang Jun!" Han Tong laughed.

It's even more worrying to use wine to relieve sorrow, but the emperor's imperial wine seems to have the effect of eliminating depression, and Han Tong has a bright face at this time.

"Your Majesty, do you have something to ask you to bring to me?" Han Tong asked expectantly after drinking another glass of wine.

Han Hui shook his head, and replied: "Only the servants of the province and palace, with His Majesty's orders and a jar of royal wine, other than that, there is nothing else to say!"

Hearing the answer, Han Tong couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Han Hui smiled lightly and said, "However, although His Majesty did not speak directly, what he said was already in the wine!"

Frowning, Han Tong immediately said: "Speak straight, don't learn from those rotten Confucians, who hide it and pretend to be profound!"

Faced with his father's lesson, Han Hui was a little helpless, cupped his hands and said with confidence: "Father is an old general of His Majesty, he has been a minister of the dragon, and he also knows his temper. Although he made a big mistake this time, His Majesty still has the intention of protecting him. From my son's point of view, His Majesty's relegation to Xiangzhou this time is, firstly, for the purpose of inquiring about your crimes, rectifying the ceremonial system, and using the police and military to avoid latecomers; Improvement; thirdly, in the future the imperial court will take Jinghu, and the father is in Xiangzhou, so the imperial court will not use the principle, as long as you fight hard and make meritorious service, you will return to Beijing."

Hearing Aizi's words, Han Tong's eyes became brighter and his sorrow disappeared completely. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.Sweeping towards Han Hui, Han Tong couldn't help but said, "My son is so smart and quick-witted, why didn't he get the first prize?"

"Is it that easy to be the number one scholar?" Han Hui seemed relieved, and said, "Look at Lu Lang in Hanoi, all the scholars from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy praised him, but the winner is still Dong Lang. My son is not good at poetry, but only Some are clever, and they are able to win Jinshi, maybe they are all thanks to their father's kindness!"

"No problem! It's fine if you know how to do things!" Han Tong seemed to be more open-minded, and said: "Left and right, what His Majesty likes is also a practical talent. He can only recite poems and compose Fu, but he can't govern politics, control the people, and command the army. If you want to come What's the use!"

"Father is right!" Han Hui echoed lightly.

"Come on, drink this altar of wine with me, and I'll be on my way!"

"Father, please!" Han Hui continued to pour wine for Han Tong.

Weiji, Han Tong boarded the car with a drunken face, looked back at Kaifeng City, gave Han Hui another warning, turned around and got into the car.

Han Tong went to Xiangzhou here, with three carriages, carrying concubines and Xiruan, five part-timers, and several servants. Shi Shi went south.

On the left side of the road, Han Hui bowed and bowed long, and only after he had gone far away did he straighten up, mount his horse and return to the city, always calmly.

The son of Han Tong, he is wise, known as "Liao Tuo Er".
