Straight man of steel

Chapter 186 The New Army Sima

After carnival most of the night, except for the sentinel, everyone else fell asleep in a drowsy state.

More than 100 people who came to Zhang Mansion to cook also quietly returned to Zhang Mansion under the leadership of Zong Xing.

Early the next morning, the gong calling everyone to get up sounded when the sun appeared.

Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes hard, very much resisting the rule that the army cannot sleep late.

Special talents like him deserve special treatment, right?

"Chang Shi, the general called you to his military tent."

Before Zhang Yuan could wash up, he heard soldiers calling from outside the account.

"I will go after washing up. You go back and tell the general first."

"Here."

Wei Qing didn't know why Wei Qing called him early in the morning, it must be urgent.

Zhang Yuan washed up quickly and headed towards Wei Qing's military tent.

When the time came, Wei Qing had already put on his armor and was sitting behind the desk.

"You all go down."

Seeing that Zhang Yuan had arrived, Wei Qing asked the two soldiers behind him to leave first.

"What's the matter, what happened?"

Wei Qing smiled, and handed the silk in his hand to Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, take a look first, His Majesty just sent someone to deliver it.

My memorial yesterday has received a response. "

Zhang Yuan took the silk from Wei Qing's hand and looked at it seriously.

The first thing written above was that the few military marquis who were empty-paid had been killed, and their family members were also implicated.

The entire family was labeled as a slave.

Then he refuted Wei Qing's request for Li Jian to be the Sima of the Qimen Army, and then said that he would send Gongsun Ao to be the Sima of the Qimen Army.

After reading it, Zhang Yuan didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. He had already predicted the fate of those military officers.

In addition, Li Jian's matter is impossible to come to fruition. How could a person without a name be directly appointed as the military commander of Qimen Army.

This is basically tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.

As for sending Gongsun Ao to the army, Zhang Yuan never thought of it.

Everyone in the court knew that Gongsun Ao had a good relationship with Wei Qing, and Zhang Yuan even became sworn brothers with Wei Qing.

If Zhang Yuan were the emperor, he would definitely send someone who didn't like Wei Qing, or who didn't like Wei Qing, as the commander of the army.

"Brother Qing, what do you mean by Your Majesty's appointment of Gongsun Ao as military commander?"

Wei Qing smiled and said to Zhang Yuan.

"I thought Brother Yuan would talk about Li Jian first, but I never thought Brother Yuan would ask Gongsun Ao."

Zhang Yuan put the silk silk back on Wei Qing's desk, and said with some puzzlement.

"There is almost a [-]% chance that Li Jian will not be able to serve as military commander, so naturally there is nothing to mention about him.

On the contrary, it is Gongsun Ao. He has a good relationship with you and me. Isn't Your Majesty afraid that the three of us will completely control the Qimen Army? "

Wei Qing smiled and shook his head.

"In an ordinary army, those soldiers may not see the emperor once in their lifetime, and the general is the most powerful person they have ever seen.

Such an army may naturally be at odds with His Majesty.

But Commander Qimen is waiting around His Majesty, it is not difficult to see Tianyan, and he has no respect for you and me.

We want to fool them into rebelling, which is much more difficult than reaching the sky.

Naturally, His Majesty is not worried that the three of us will completely control the Qimen Army, but instead hopes that the three leaders will be of one mind and one mind, and there will be no conflicts in decision-making.

Thinking about it now, we still have too few people and too little power to let His Majesty do this. "

Zhang Yuan nodded, understanding what Wei Qing said.

It turns out that the art of the emperor is not only about checks and balances, but also has other aspects.

Now it seems that being an emperor is really not an easy thing.

"Young brother, you mentioned Li Jian a few times. Could it be that there are other meanings in it?"

Wei Qing laughed, he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan still couldn't see the intention clearly.

"Brother Yuan, you forgot that you used this trick back then."

Zhang Yuan became even more confused and searched hard in his mind.

"Brother Yuan, you forgot that the last time you were in Yutang Palace, you directly told His Majesty that you were going to resign, and then His Majesty only granted you a half-year leave.

You told me afterwards that you proposed an unacceptable result at the beginning.

Then the other party is more able to accept the second result that seems to be too much.

Because it's better to look excessive than unacceptable.

Li Jian was a commoner before, if he was directly appointed as a military marshal, someone would definitely sue His Majesty when he reported to the Central Military Mansion.

Now I submitted a letter to ask the military commander Li Jian to serve as military commander, but His Majesty rejected it directly. However, your majesty subconsciously accepted the fact that Li Jian became the military commander. "

Wei Qing's thoughts were deeper than Zhang Yuan's, which made Zhang Yuan really uncomfortable.

I have always been crushed by the ancients in terms of IQ. Now thinking about it, it is really uncomfortable.

"Young brother is brilliant, Brother Yu didn't turn his head around for a while.

But now it seems that you are dishonest, young brother, are you not afraid that there are embroidered messengers outside the military tent to eavesdrop? "

"Don't worry, little brother, I have been in the palace for several years, so I still know how to guard against the embroidered clothes messenger.

It is certain that His Majesty has placed embroidered emissaries in the army, but now in broad daylight, who would dare to sneak around and eavesdrop outside the military tent.

Brother Yuan, haven't you noticed that the surrounding area of ​​my military tent is very empty, you can directly see my military tent from any direction in the military camp.

In this way, there is no place for those Xiaoxiao to hide. As for the soldiers outside the door, to tell you the truth, brother Yuan, they are all my family generals. "

After hearing so much, Zhang Yuan started to sweat on his forehead. It seems that everyone is a genius, but he is a fool.

“I don’t know if Gongsun Ao will be able to get along with you and me after he comes.

This person seems careless, but in fact he is also a thoughtful person. "

The careless reckless people are the first to die these days, and the second are those who manipulate power.

It was often the people who manipulated power who killed the reckless man, and then the emperor watched all this behind his back, so that the emperor had a handle to kill those who manipulated power.

Only those who have a deep mind, do not dispute everything, and accept as much as the emperor gives can live a stable life.

To put it bluntly, it is to live within the rules all the time, and not have the thought of crossing the red line at all.

"It's okay, when Gongsun Ao comes, I will talk to him.

Brother Yuan, you have the final say on all matters in the army before you set off.

After the battle, I will have the final say on the army.

As for him, Gongsun Ao, he only needs to do his part well, and I will let him charge at the forefront when he is on the battlefield. "

Wei Qing said it very easily, and Zhang Yuan didn't worry so much anymore.

People haven’t come here yet and it’s useless to worry so much.

All day today, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan didn't let all the soldiers go up the mountain to hunt. Yesterday's daily income was enough to last for a few days.

Instead, let Li Jian and various officers in the army lead the soldiers to start the drill.
