Invincible son

Autumn goes and winter comes, and it is the end of the year again.

After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony in early September, Kyoto experienced a period of turbulence, and has gradually returned to stability.

During these nearly three months, the structure of the court has undergone earth-shaking changes.As the cleansing caused by the change of offering sacrifices to heaven continues, a large number of official positions have been vacated, and the civil servants can be said to have their own unique tricks, which generally presents a relatively even division of forces among all parties.However, Wu Xun's relatives are the only one. After Wei Rui, the commander of the Zangfengwei, was promoted to the head of the Beiying, and the emperor rewarded him with the first-class Uncle Runan, the Beiying was rebuilt under Pei Yue's instructions.

The establishment of Wudingwei was withdrawn from the northern camp following Qin Xian's appointment as the commander of the Ningzhou camp in the south. The commander of the Zangfengwei was replaced by Tang Linfen. Handle the military affairs of the Northern Camp.

Chen Xianda was promoted to be the commander of Tai'an Guards, and he was named the third-class Yichun Bo.Although he is now in charge of being promoted to the ranks alone, Chen Manzi is obviously reluctant to hide the three thousand vanguard elites of the front guards. He ran to Jin Wang's mansion to fight with Pei Yue, but in the end he asked him to ride a thousand horses as the cavalry directly under the Tai'an Guards.

Meng Longfu was promoted to the command envoy of Pingnanwei, and he was awarded the title of third-class Xitingbo.The emperor originally wanted to cancel the establishment of Pingnanwei, so as not to make Pei Yue feel uncomfortable.However, after Pei Yue considered it, he finally chose to keep this guard, because the word Pingnan symbolized his greatest contribution since joining the army.

Luo Kedi was promoted to Commander of Zhengxi Guard. Not only the name of this newly formed infantry guard attracted attention, but its strength was also talked about by the people of Kyoto.The details of the battle in the northern suburbs were gradually revealed, and only then did the world understand how strong King Jin's cards were, and at the same time lamented how hard-won the peace of the years after the turmoil was.

Although Dingjunhou's title was not expected to be restored in a short period of time, Luo Kedi still burst into tears when he received this appointment, and he was even more grateful to Pei Yue.

Cui Meng, the son of Xining Bo Cui Hu, who has repeatedly made military exploits in many years of campaigns, has also been promoted.He was previously promoted by Pei Yue to be the deputy commander of the Tai'an Guard, and now he has been promoted to be the Commander of the newly formed Dongqing Guard.The black-faced uncle Cui Hu was old and gradually faded out of the court. After learning about this, he took several carts of gifts to the Jin Palace to thank him, and then he couldn't wait to resign from the court.

Therefore, Cui Meng inherited the title in advance as the Viscount of Xining, and it is foreseeable that the title will be promoted in the future.

If Zhengxiwei is just a fantasy, then the appearance of Dongqingwei can almost confirm that the imperial court will not sit back and watch Xiwu occupy the best place for raising horses in the world.The word Dongqing comes from Dongqing Mansion in Lingzhou, which is located at the east end of the Gaoyang Plain and is the border of the western border of Daliang.

The reconstruction of the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army was completed, but except for Zangfengwei and Tai'anwei, the other three guards were still empty-handed. The 5000 men brought by Luo Kedi went south and returned to Chengjing after the situation stabilized.When Gu Liang brought back the left guard of Lingzhou to receive the reward from the imperial court, he was divided into three and entered the three guards of Beiying. With the addition of some veterans of Tai'an Guard, the skeleton of the three guards was successfully built.

Tang Linfen, Deputy Commander of the Northern Camp, has already rushed to Lingzhou to recruit new soldiers according to Pei Yue's order.

Not to mention the generals in the northern camp who were promoted to rank, the veterans Guo Xing, Zhang Qixian, Qin Xian, Xue Meng and Gu Jie who were still in the southern border also received awards.In this way, Pei Yue's position in the army became more and more stable like a mountain, and those voices who suspected him in the past disappeared without a trace, and a pattern of dominance in the army was formed.

Under such a brilliant general trend, the former Jiangling coach Cai Qian was promoted to Youjunji, and the former Hucheng coach Yin Wei took over as the Forbidden Army coach. These two appointments did not attract much attention.

"Yin Wei's ability to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army must have something to do with Yue Zhang."

In the original Guangping Hou's Mansion and now Zheng Guogong's Mansion, Pei Yue and Gu Liang sat facing each other in the Cunpu Pavilion on the Qingqiu, talking with a smile on their faces.

Gu Liang asked with great interest: "Why did you say that?"

Pei Yue said: "I have known the details of the battle in the Western Territory. If I am not mistaken, the Empress Dowager Wu's ambush is not only Nan'an Hou Suwu, but also Qi Yunhou Yin Wei. But in the end Yin Wei did nothing, but cooperated with Yue Zhang's military order , Only in this way can a hearty victory be created. His Majesty should have taken a fancy to this point, knowing that Yin Wei is loyal to the Tian Family and not the Queen Mother, so he let him take over the Imperial Army."

Gu Liang said approvingly: "You see it very clearly. Now the positions of the commanders of the West Camp and the South Camp are pending, and the deputy commanders have been concurrently in charge for several months. Do you have a disagreement with His Majesty?"

The old man's expression was soft, but his eyes were full of brilliance, obviously referring to something else.

Since Pei Yue did not choose to make a complete break that day, the crime of murdering Gu Liang by Xiying coach Su Wu was not implicated in the palace, and he was finally punished by the court to ransack his family and exterminate his family.Pei Yue was extremely resolute in this matter, he didn't even listen to Gu Liang's advice, and once again revealed his defensive character to the world.

Pei Yue laughed and said: "Yue Zhang is too worried. Your Majesty wants to transfer Shi Yu, the coach of Tonggu Camp in Yuzhou, to take over the Southern Camp, and let Qi Xin, the coach of Dingxi Camp in the Western Territory, take over the Western Camp, but I don't think this is appropriate. Therefore, the deputy commander of the two battalions will temporarily take over for the time being, and we will make a decision after a while."

Gu Liang nodded understandingly. After Yin Wei was transferred to the capital, the Western Military Commission should not make any changes. Moreover, the Dingxi Camp had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, so Qi Xin had to stay there to rebuild the army.

As for Shi Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Bronze Drum Camp hiding in Yuzhou's [-] mountains, he was obviously one of the confidantes left by Emperor Kaiping to Liu Xian, but since Qi Xin couldn't come to Beijing, Shi Yu couldn't assume his new role either.

Thinking of this, Gu Liang couldn't help sighing: "Your grasp of the word balance has become more and more mature."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, he is now in charge of the Xifu Military Academy, and any transfer of martial arts generals cannot avoid him.

He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Balance is also a matter of helplessness. I didn't care about adjusting the time and rain to come to Beijing, but His Majesty insisted on not allowing it, so I had to give up in the end. Yuezhang, I have always had a question in my heart."

Gu Liang nodded and said, "Say it."

Pei Yue pondered for a moment, and said softly: "On the eve of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. I was really puzzled. People such as Empress Dowager Wu, Wu Cunren and Ning Huai'an, including the coy Xiao Jin and Chen Huan, their thoughts are not difficult to guess. Either they are worried that I will seek to usurp the throne, or they want to fight for the benefit of the fisherman. As long as I fall down, I will definitely fatten a lot of people. But I chose to leave the southern border and return to Kyoto , This should be a very clear signal, why can't Master Luo see through this, and instead stand on the opposite side of me?"

Gu Liang asked meaningfully: "I really don't understand?"

Pei Yue sighed: "There are some guesses, but I always find it incredible."

The figure of Luo Ting appeared in Gu Liang's mind, and he was inevitably depressed for a while. After a long time, he said: "From some angles, Luo Jiyu is somewhat similar to your husband. They are good at planning the country but not personal. Most of the time, you don't care about your own safety and reputation. Looking at the beginning and end of this matter, in the end you and Empress Dowager Wu met each other, and the reason was that Luo Ting accepted the proposal of Empress Wu's marriage."

Pei Yue showed a puzzled expression.

The image of Luo Ting in his heart is extremely positive, and it's hard to connect with this kind of calculating means.

"Sometimes exacerbating conflict is not the wrong choice."

Gu Liang sighed softly, and immediately said earnestly: "You just need to remember that all the choices made by Luo Ting are based on whether it is beneficial to Daliang. The first emperor loved the Empress Dowager Wu too much, but he obviously did not expect that after his death, , the queen mother who holds a lot of resources will become an obstacle for the emperor to govern himself. Luo Ting saw this and at the same time saw that you had no intention of usurping the throne, so he pushed the queen mother at a critical moment."

A look of surprise appeared on Pei Yue's face.

Gu Liang knew that he still couldn't believe it, so he explained: "After Xiao Jin and Li Zi surrendered, you led a large army to approach the capital, and at the same time I came with Lingzhou left guard. With an army of nearly [-], and a towering and solid city wall to rely on, it is basically impossible for you to attack by force."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "That's true, so I arranged for someone to find Luo Zhizheng in advance, and asked him to cut off the Queen Mother's connection with the outside world, so as to avoid complications."

Gu Liang smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about it? At that time, the situation was still unclear, and the emperor was still in your hands. No one could be sure if you would rebel. Luo Ting stopped you just because of your people's words." The imperial army attacked Yongrenfang, and at the same time entered the palace to persuade the Empress Dowager Wu, so as to preserve Peicheng's authority to command the garrison, so that he can open the city gate for your majesty and you."

He paused and asked, "Compared with his previous attitude of standing on the opposite side of you, isn't this a contradiction?"

Pei Yue was stunned.
