Chapter 3, Section 4
Whether it was God's will or by chance, since Emperor Shaojing was defeated in Fengshan, the sky of the imperial capital has never cleared up again. It is raining, snowing, or gray clouds gathered, covering the sky above the imperial capital. Although the people of Sijing on the streets and alleys do not know the general trend of the world and do not understand the change of energy, they all have some gloom in their hearts and are very uncomfortable. Some older people who have seen the world often look at the sky and shake their heads and sigh. Although no one dares to say anything illegal and depressing because of this, the emperor's feet, but the gloomy and depressing feeling still sneaks into the hearts of the people all over the city with this shook their sighs.
It was the 8 noon of February in the 11th year of Emperor Shaojing. The morning was already clear, but after noon, the sky gradually became gloomy. Snowflakes swelling fell in a cloud like iron. But in the end, the season was gradually coming to spring, the earth was warm, the snowflakes gradually melted, and the rain and snow mixed, and they fell sticky on the rooftop ground, making the ground muddy. It was difficult to walk. Only those wealthy families were still fearless, and they were still in the streets of bright clothes and angry horses and red chariots. The hooves passed by, and they were filled with many sighs and curses.
The sky is cloudy again
Since he moved a big chair to sit under the eaves of Dehe Hall, Di Shaojing gently punched his chest with his fist. While taking Gong Ming, which was still steaming from his right hand, took a sip. He frowned slightly, but said nothing. He just raised his head and looked at the gray sky in the curtain of Ruo Xuxuyu, which was slowly drooping between the eaves.
Although this tea is the best, it was tributed last year. Although this water is a famous spring, it was absorbed the day before yesterday. When it was in the mouth, it lost its refreshing fragrance and high smell, causing the wind to be blown under the armpits and it was about to leave.
There was no new tea in winter, but the land under the jurisdiction of the Taisho Dynasty was thousands of miles east, south, west and northwest. The southern Songming Prefectures were humid and hot, and there was no ice and snow all year round. Spring came very early, and new tea sprouted before ten thousand days. Originally, the imperial system had ten thousand miles of new tea tribute to the new tea, but recently the south was raining and flooded, and several major roads were cut off by heavy water and the post road was blocked. The new tea originally scheduled to be delivered yesterday failed to overcome the period. As for the spring water used for cooking tea, it has always been taken from Yuquan outside the Xicheng City. However, in recent days, the rain and snow have continued, and the soil and rocks have shaken. Finally, the rocks collapsed yesterday, which was defiled with the spring water. Although the spring eyes were not damaged, it will definitely be unhindered for a long time, but there is no purified water to take in three or five days.
He raised his glass silently, took another sip of the tea water into his mouth. Di Shaojing slowly put the tea cup back on the chair and said slowly: Mu Feng, come in.
The sons obey the order.
Amid the gentle and calm voices, a young man in white turned into the outside of Dehe Hall, walking in a solemn and upright manner, and his face was smug. Although the rain and snow were mixed, he was like a spring breeze, walking calmly, neither fast nor slow, and without any shivering expression. He really couldn't find any fault in the word "ritual".
The third son of Emperor Shaojing, Di Mufeng, was 19 years old at the time and had no title of title. He has always been studying in the Hanlin Academy. He is familiar with poetry and painting, can interpret classics and history, and has a lot of literary reputation.
When he reached the five steps before Emperor Shaojing, Emperor Mufeng stood firm.
This place is still outside the eaves, and the rain and snow are endless. Emperor Mufeng seemed to be nothing and said respectfully: I will meet my father. As he said that, he raised his clothes and knelt down.
Emperor Shaojing held his jaw with his hands, stared at him, and did not speak.
The wind suddenly became fast, the rain gradually became heavier, and it roared into millions of water lines. It was blown by the wind, and it was woven into a dark and crystal-clear curtain, covering it with its head and face. Di Mufeng knelt silently, and his clothes were wet for a moment, but his shoulders were still straight and without any trembling.
Xu Yi, the rain is getting smaller, the dark clouds are shaking in the sky, and a few clear sky is faintly visible. Emperor Shaojing nodded slightly and suddenly said: Mu Feng, I want to cut off all the imperial guards of the six camps and eight guards. What do you think
His words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and it was always like a thunderbolt. The calm Emperor Mufeng suddenly became dissatisfied and said in surprise: Father, what did you say
The so-called imperial guards are the general term for the imperial guards guarding the imperial capital and stationed around the imperial capital. Since they are directly controlled by the emperor and are also the closest troops to the emperor, the old friends are compared to the bedside, and cannot be regarded as the importance of it. All dynasties have attached great importance to it, and each has a set of methods and systems to ensure its strength and loyalty. The founding ancestor of the Zhao family in Kaijing was the general of the imperial guards. They were supported by their subordinates and took the imperial guards. Therefore, they paid more attention to this. As soon as they built the foundation, they could not wait to remove the military power of the former imperial guards, and divided the imperial guards into six camps, which were divided into six camps, which were used to charge, trap the cavalry, guards, Jianrui, and Shooting Six camps, each with tens of thousands of soldiers, and they were divided into tens of thousands of soldiers in the imperial capital. Later, they still felt uneasy, so they were different.
The Eight Guards were set up, with three inside and five inside, which were the three inside guards, the left and right Yu Guards, the left and right Xu Guards, the three inside guards, the left and right Wu Guards, the left and right powerful guards, the left and right Jinwu Guards, the left and right supervisor guards, and the left and right Qianniu Guards, each with thousands of organizational arrangements. The three inside guards guard the imperial palace, the five outside guards guard the capital, and the six battalions of imperial guards were still stationed in the imperial capital, but the organization had been cut off, and it had only tens of thousands of soldiers and its status was reduced to the eight guards. However, the equipment, strict training, and the strength of the soldiers were still far better than the local garrisons. Although the Imperial Capital General Yamen was established later, and it also had about 20,000 troops and horses, the long-term system had been established. The quality of the horses led by the yamen was much worse than the above two armies, and it was far less trustworthy than the generals of the two armies.
For hundreds of years, the Sixth Battalion Imperial Army and the Eighth Guards have restrained each other and helped each other. They have always been the powerful weapon in the hands of the Zhao family who has mastered the imperial capital and intimidated the Fourth Fields. If they are shaken today, the four fields are staggering, and the imperial capital is also shocked in a day, and there are spies from all directions. It is when they show the world and shine their sharp blades, but Emperor Shaojing suddenly said that they would cut off all the armies. Emperor Mufeng was naturally shocked, and even the etiquette of the king, minister, father and son was also lost.
Seeing him like this, Emperor Shaojing only smiled coldly and said: My son has lost his etiquette.
Emperor Mufeng was shocked, and he quickly turned over and knelt down, saying: My son was guilty of death.
Emperor Shaojing waved his hand and said lightly: I am forgiven for your sins.
It is also said: The six camps and eight guards were made up for a long time and are no longer suitable for the current generation. If the lower generals are in chaos today, Sun cannot jump to the north, and Taiping Dao Yin is in the south. If there is no reaction, when the world is in chaos, the thief army will force it into the territory of Sanghan, then it will have millions of heroic troops. What's the use
He said slowly: I want to withdraw the six camps of imperial guards and merge them into a brigade, called the Tiance Army, and then join the Yu and Xun guards into the five outer guards, also made one army, called the Shenwu Army. There are four lieutenants in each of the two armies, and they are in charge of military affairs, but they have no power to send envoys.
According to my rule, there should be some additions at the same time as the army formed. Even if it is inconvenient to have is hasty, the long-term plan for both armies can each determine 100,000 military personnel. Now, the two armies should have 60,000 or 70,000 elite soldiers to drive away the front enemies, which can help Han Qin's urgent needs.
Above the two armies, one general of the guard was appointed, and all the powers of the two armies were held. The eight lieutenants respected only one of them and did not receive orders from the Ministry of War.
As he spoke, Di Shaojing raised his eyes and looked at Di Mufeng slowly. After a while, he finally said the words that made Di Mufeng's heart shatter.
And, besides you, who can take this position, who can do it?
Father
In exclamation, Emperor Mufeng knocked his head into the ground, and bleeding broke out
My son is deeply grateful for his father's trust, but my son always likes literature and martial arts, and does not do military affairs, which may lead to the country's affairs. My second brother is skilled in martial arts, skilled in military strategies, and is deeply trusted in the army's expectations. Why not let him take this great responsibility
Emperor Shaojing nodded slightly and said: It is very good to be able to be a virtuous person.
He said again: Don’t be suspicious or hide anymore. Now that the country is in danger, and your father is in such a good health, if you don’t share the burden on your father, you will be afraid of being a father, and you will be unable to hold on. He said that he coughed a few more times, and his expression was a little tired.
Although his tone was gentle, his meaning was not good. If he was suspicious, he would hide from it again. He could hear the truth that he was not sweating profusely in the ears of Emperor Mufeng, who was familiar with history, and he couldn't stop pausing his head, but he no longer dared to speak.
Emperor Shaojing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't knock, get up." Emperor Mufeng agreed to thank him, and Emperor Shaojing said warmly again: It's raining heavily, come and avoid it. When Emperor Mufeng enters under the eaves and serves in front of him, he holds one of his left hand and sighs: I am not a god, there will always be a day when this thousands of miles of land is entrustable to others."
Di Mufeng's body trembled and he didn't dare to respond, but Xi Di Shaojing sighed again: Don't think about it anymore. Your second brother has been ordered by me and set off to leave Jing to do something, so you haven't seen him these days. Of course, I have another appointment after he comes back. It's unknown if you come down for you at that time, so just do it well and don't think about it anymore.
Emperor Mufeng took a deep breath, then knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: My son received the order.
Emperor Shaojing smiled and stroked his head, saying: Very good.
Emperor Mufeng said respectfully: Please ask your father to give the candidates for the eight lieutenants.
Emperor Shaojing nodded, but said: The original group of old men have worked hard for the imperial court for many years. My intention is to be rewarded. This time, there will be a bloody battle in the army soon, so don’t teach them to fight to the death with their heads. As for how to apply, there is only one. Xu Sheng is not allowed to surrender. You can discuss with a few adults and draw a strategy. I will read it.
Fang said again: Wang Jianer and Bi Tiegao have been in the Imperial Army for many years. They are skilled in martial arts and are loyal. I have always been very useful. This is right for the time. The three of them have been with the black teeth, Haigou and Ge Maozhong for a long time. They have been careful and not to form court officials. It is very good and can be used. As for the rest of him, he looked at Di Mufeng and said with a smile: If you don’t have any advice for your subordinates, you can decide for yourself.
While he was talking, Di Mufeng had already weighed in his mind: Wang Bi and his two men started from grass-roots corpses and had no family background. They were the soldiers who were affiliated with the vassals during the reign of Emperor Jing Longqian. Heichi Changzhi and other three men were all affiliated with the generals, not Xia Zong, and had never had much contact with the ministers in the court. Comparing the five men with the origins of the generals who were originally the Sixth Camp and the Eight Guards of the Dutong Army, we have already understood the profound meaning.
Emperor Shaojing has suspected Liu Sun and his surname
This shock was extraordinary, but Di Mufeng's heart trembled, but he didn't dare to come. He thought in his stomach and said with a smile: "I really don't know what kind of talent in the army can lead troops. Oh, the General Cao Wenyuan, who is in the Imperial Capital General's Office, heard that he is quite capable of governing the army, why not just transfer him into the Shence Army and tied the original charge to trap the old soldiers in the camp. When they were always practicing in the same place, they were suddenly shocked. They knew that they had made up their words, but they liked that he had always been quick and wise. They said casually: In addition, the former son had followed his father to visit the western suburbs of Wu, and saw the General Yun of the Right Qianniu Guard very well, and seemed to be very morale. I don't know how to take the exam on weekdays, and whether he could make great use of it, he was already praying for the gods in his heart.
General Yun was named Yun Zhi, and he was Liu Zongliang's confidant disciple. Everyone in the court knew about it.
Emperor Shaojingguo was stunned for a moment, and looked slightly disappointed, then waved his hand and said: The survival of the general is not so easy to determine. Since you don’t know, take some time to think about it and then make sure it is done.
He said again: You go.
Emperor Mufeng secretly called for luck and gave up thanks for his gratitude. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and stopped reporting: Go back to his father, the son still has something to ask about.
Emperor Shaojing said lightly: After the eighth lieutenant's duties are settled, I hope you can lead the army eastward, so that you can't suffer any more.
Emperor Mufeng paused for a moment and said: But who will be in charge of the imperial capital?
You should know that the heart of the imperial capital and the world is not trivial. Although the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire have their own amazing skills, they must be able to pacify the hearts of the people in the capital and inspect pedestrians entering and leaving the country, but they will never be stronger than a few teams of well-trained elite soldiers.
Di Shaojing smiled and said: Good question.
Three days ago, I have sent an order to the southern border to teach you that your second uncle will lead nine military horses to return to the court. The vanguard military horses are the Yue cavalry, which is known for its rapid marching. It is expected that they will arrive in the imperial capital in 2000. At that time, the two armies of Shenwu and Tiance should have been organized and they can go north to march.
Di Mufeng said horrifiedly: Uncle Wu is coming back and saw Di Shaojing nodding slightly, then bowed and said: Father's temple is worth thousands of miles, and the son minister is too stupid to reach, so he feels deeply ashamed. He got up and resigned, but Di Shaojing said again: Let's stay. Di Mufeng then stood up and turned around and said: My son minister is here.
Emperor Shaojing looked him up and down, and Fang said slowly: I heard from several doctors of the Imperial Academy that you are proficient in classics and history, and you have some attainments in ancient Yigui divination. Can you tell me a divination and calculate the success or failure of this time?
Emperor Mufeng's expression changed and he bowed to the underground: "The Yi is a misty thing, and the turtle divination is five parts of the empty ones, and it can be used, but it cannot be determined. At this time, the son ministers dare not speak nonsense and disrupt the father's emperor's heart. Please allow the son ministers to resist the order.
Emperor Shaojing frowned and said: I forgive you for not guilty. After that, my voice was a little displeased.
Emperor Mufeng stood up and bowed again, saying, "My son obeyed the order." Then he closed his eyes silently, pondered for a while, and slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's a good hexagram when it comes back to my father."
The rain and snow are shining, and the water is in the sky. This place is high and the peak is the appearance of Gen Mountain. It is Gen and Kan, which is called Jian. It is beneficial to the southwest and not the northeast. The king's ministers are clumsy and can be upright. From this point of view, if the Sun cannot control the northeast, it will be of no luck. The king's army will definitely make a contribution to this.
Looking at the expression of Emperor Shaojing, he said: My son has already said something, and it is a vague thing, and we should not follow it all. I hope my father and emperor do not want to underestimate the enemy because his son and his minister lies. This is the blessing of my son and his minister.
Emperor Shaojing pondered for a moment and waved his hand in a dark way: Go. His face was full of anger and joy, like a mud-like body.
It was like the departure of Emperor Mufeng from Dehe Hall, and the rain and snow gradually stopped dissipating. A trace of sunlight miraculously oozing out from the sky. Although it was fleeting, it was still a joy to the people of the imperial capital who had nearly a month of no sunlight. At least, for them who were afraid of the chaos of the struggle, it was like a sign, a sign that could make them feel at ease and reassure them. In a short time, many people had already rushed to the streets and began to point fingers at the sky.
At the same time, in the Dehe Hall, the emperor who was bound to be lonely moved his body and silently sipped the bitter tea that had already disappeared.
What do you think of my son?
He is very smart.
With gentle words, the person who had been standing in the hall walked out slowly, but he had not arrived under the eaves. He stood behind the door and looked in from the hall door, but could not see his face.
Smart, right
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and Emperor Shaojing said in a hurry: Then, aren’t you also skilled in Yidi, may you give me a divination
The man said lightly: Yes.
Kan water is in the sky, and Qianyuan is in the hall, which is the shape of the lower part of the Gan and above Kan. According to the innate Yi numbers, the Hu hexagram should be taken.
Emperor Shaojing added his forehead with his hand, as if he wanted to block the faint sunlight from the clouds, and said slowly: "Do you need it?"
He was almost in front of him, strong and unstoppable, looked at the muddy ground in front of him and said: The ground is very dirty.
The man said: That's right.
It is easy to say: It takes a mud to cause the enemy to arrive. Xiang also said: Disasters are outside, and it leads to the enemy to lead the enemy to the enemy.
And with a little cold smile, the man said slowly: "The Huo Gua has a clear meaning, saying: It is beneficial to cross the river."
With a word, both of them stopped talking. In the silence, they seemed to see the army of war that had set up camps in the south and crossed the river, and the iron-faced face that had held this army firmly for many years.
Cough, cough
After coughing a few times, Di Shaojing said: Then, old friend, do you think the hexagram is not auspicious
The man said: Yes, his voice was firm and hesitated at all.
Emperor Shaojing smiled bitterly and said a little bit self-deprecating: After so many years, you still can't speak.
The man said: You have to be able to speak, there are countless people in the court. He Que, I paused and said coldly: Isn’t your son also good at speaking?
Emperor Shaojing frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said: I won’t mention him anymore.
He said again: Old friend, I have always wanted to ask you, what side do you want to stand on this time?
The man said silently: I am only on the side of the people.
Di Shaojing smiled and said: That's to say, you will only support the side that can win quickly.
The man said: Yes.
He also said: Since the founding of a new surname, he will have to be lenient in government and help the people. If a dynasty rejuvenates, he will also be able to provide peace to the people and will not be able to do anything to the people. Only when the two strong men and even the world are in conflict will the people be the most miserable days.
Emperor Shaojing nodded lightly and said: You said it well.
Then, this time, you are in the west
The man said: I will go, don't worry
Emperor Shaojing nodded, raised his right hand slightly, and said: Thank you.
