Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1496
After talking about business matters, Jiang He turned to talk about personal matters, and the topic of Jiang He naturally turned to the matter of Hu Run's visit to him yesterday.

Hearing Jiang He talk about Hu Run, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "This Hu Houze doesn't seem to be purely stupid, he also knows how to choose a virtuous person for advice when he encounters problems."

"Being able to follow His Majesty for a long time, making successes in the country and benefiting oneself, when it comes to talent, how can it be the choice of the mediocre. It's just because the heart of heaven is vast, and the personnel and affairs are well organized, and the group bows their heads and waits for them. It is a blessing for us to be able to use our talents to our advantage, and for a long time, we don’t have to worry about selfishness, and we are lucky to follow the Lord of England.”

Jiang Xi also laughed, and the compliment blurted out without thinking.

Hearing this, the emperor's eyebrows and eyes became more cheerful, but he still said seriously: "People entrust me with their will, and they really can't be slack. The reason why the community is prosperous is that everyone who does things gets what he wants. Hiroshi Gaowu Buildings, large materials and fine materials are indispensable, and the majestic halls also need to rely on the talents of good craftsmen to use them, layering high fortresses. What you want in life is nothing more than no responsibility."

The reason why the emperor prefers Hu Run's foreign use and labor far away, aside from some joking elements, is also to provide him, a close disciple, with some opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

In the previous awarding ceremony, almost all the heroes of the Northern Expedition who led an army alone were awarded the title of Duke.On the contrary, the emperor's real close disciples, such as Hu Run and Xin Bin, were slightly suppressed for various reasons.Xin Bin broke through Xindu and captured Jie Lord Shihu alive. When the remnants of Jie Kingdom are completely eliminated, he will definitely be awarded another level in terms of merit.

As for Hoogewerf, he may not have any special blessings, but when it comes to following for many years and abiding by his duties, it is not impossible to be directly appointed as the county magistrate.But because of his close relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, he was suppressed one level.In this way, even if someone is frustrated with the previous conferment, or is slightly different from his own vision, he should not be angry because of it.

But it's not that the emperor didn't prepare a compensation plan. Hu Run is in the prime of his life right now, and his experience and talent are at their peak.

The current Liao border does need a general to sit in charge to cooperate and support Liu Qun and Wen Fangzhi in planning Liao border affairs.At present, the imperial court mainly focuses on solving the problems in the southwestern border, and when the matter is settled here, the Liao border issue will be officially resolved.

When considering candidates for the general, the emperor naturally gave priority to Hu Run, a close disciple.Of course, whether to use it or not mainly depends on Hu Run's own will. If Hu Run is really reluctant to abandon the prosperity in the sky and is too lazy to travel far, even if he has such a will, the emperor will not force him.After all, if people don't care about things and use them reluctantly, any accidents will become harm instead.

Hearing what Jiang Xi meant, although Hu Run had some complaints, he probably didn't object to this use. This also pleased the emperor, and he planned to formally meet with Hu Run to discuss this matter later.

But having said that, when it comes to Murong Hao in the Liao border, the emperor also has to sigh with emotion, it is really not easy for people to get ahead in this troubled world.

At the very least, Murong Hao was quite forward-looking and accurate when judging the future tactics of the imperial court.When the country of Jie is in decline and is about to collapse, he still has the courage to choose to vote for Jie resolutely, which is indeed the quality that a hero should have.

Aside from other things, if Murong Hao is still in the world and can maintain a harmonious relationship with the Jie Kingdom, when Wang Shibei attacks the Poxin Capital, if nothing else, at least the Jie Kingdom will remain in Youzhou. A part of the forces will definitely be annexed and swallowed up by Murong Hao.

And after eliminating the Jie Lord Shihu, the biggest target of occupying Hebei, Wang Shi has indeed become the end of his battle in the north, and it is difficult to continue north and attack Liaobian.

Not to mention whether Wang Shibu's army can adapt to the harsh and complex combat environment on the Liao frontier as it continues to march north, the doubling and extension of the supply line alone is a big issue that has to be carefully considered.

Hebei has been tortured and destroyed by the Capricorn Lord Shihu. It can be said that the people are in dire straits, and the situation has deteriorated to a very serious level.

Even if the food and grass of the army can be transported from Henan to the north, even if the consumption along the long route is ignored, if Wang Shi still focuses on the military in the north, he will not have enough energy to devote to the restoration of people's livelihood. In the long run, the situation in Hebei will be uncertain.

Even if there were no such reasons, the land of Liao was barren and desolate, and retrieving the land could not make up for the consumption. Considering that the new dynasty was just established and a thousand things were waiting to be revived, the Liao border would not become the primary target after the establishment of the new dynasty, regardless of the cost of people's livelihood.

If Murong Hao is still alive, he can take advantage of the respite from Liang's inability to take over the remnants of the Jie Kingdom in the north, and grow into a new Bianhu overlord.When something happened in the southwest of Daliang and he turned to the north, the situation would be very different.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wen Fangzhi and others used the Liao border to mobilize the Murong Ministry to self-mutilate and internal friction, but failed to make good use of the wave of dividends from the collapse of the Jie Kingdom.At least within a few years, the Murong tribe in the Liao border will not be able to grow into a side Hu force worthy of the Liang court's all-out efforts.

On the contrary, the Dai Kingdom on the frontier acted ready to move during the Northern Expedition of the Master Wang. After the Jie Kingdom was conquered, it reversed its previous attitude of sharpening its sword and turning to the old master, and proactively contacted those who were still struggling and active. The remnants of the Jie Kingdom.

Up to now, most of the remnants of Jie State have been concentrated among the border counties adjacent to the Great Wall, such as Xinxing, Yanmen, and Daijun.Even though they have not yet reached a close and seamless cooperative relationship with Daiguo, in fact they have become the outer fence of Daiguo Tuoba clan.

But vigilance is one aspect. Due to the current national strength, it is difficult for Wang Shi to send out a large army to attack the Dai country. He can only maintain a partial foreign campaign. In the case of becoming a de facto foreign vassal of the Dai Kingdom, he tried to deepen the contradictions and estrangement between them, and also used the remnant forces of the Jie Kingdom to isolate the power of the Dai Kingdom from the fortress, so as to buy Wang Shi a time to recover.

This is not an unattainable task. Although Daliang and those remnants of the Jie Kingdom have great hatred for destroying the country, it can be said that they are incompatible, but Dai Guo is also a traitor against the master in the eyes of the remnants of the Jie Kingdom. It was because of the southern spying and probing that Jie Guo had to look back frequently, and couldn't deal with it without distraction when facing the conquest of Wang Shi, a powerful enemy.

On the other hand, among these remnants of the Jie country, there is a considerable force that is quite likely to be drawn in, and that is the tens of thousands of begging troops under the command of Sikong Li Nong of the Jie country.

This begging army has never appeared on the frontal battlefield against the Northern Expedition of the Wang Shi, but because of the distrust of the Lord Jie, it has always stayed in the north to guard against the country. Now that Hebei is in trouble, it may become a game of chess for the imperial court. pawn move.

Prior to the Northern Expedition, Master Wang treated Guangzong Qihuo, the base of the begging army, with kindness, and allowed Guangzong Qihuo to become an independent force permitted by law. space.

Prior to this, Xie Ai, who was in charge of clearing out the remnants of the Jie country as the forward governor, wrote to Taizhong, proposing to suspend the attack on the remnants of the Jie country, and focus on lobbying Li Nong to return to righteousness.If this can be done, most of the remnant forces of the Jie Kingdom will disappear in an instant, and this begging army will also become an important force for Wang Shi to resist the Dai Kingdom.

This matter is also one of the hot topics in Taichung at the moment. Regarding the idea proposed by Xie Ai, a consensus has basically been reached in Taiwan.Being able to turn the enemy into an ally is of great help to Master Wang.What is still under discussion is how much sincerity the court needs to release and how much treatment it needs to give Li Nong and his begging army to make this happen.

Liang Xinli, whether civil or military, has a heroic spirit, even when discussing detention matters, there is an aggressive atmosphere.

Before that, Li Nong had actually contacted Xie Ai on the front line, hoping that he could lead his subordinates as the Duke of Yanmen to form a separate unit and guard Yanmen for the Daliang court.Naturally, it is impossible for Taichung to agree to this kind of condition. The key is not whether the mingjue is high or low, but that Shishou Bian Town has risen to the level of the new government regulations. This example must not be opened!

But if this condition is not agreed, in fact the imperial court needs this begging army to stay in the frontier.The Qihuo army is too independent, which can be seen from the fact that it has been able to maintain a relatively independent posture after taking refuge in the Jie country for so many years.The establishment of its army and the king's division are even more incompatible. Even if the issue of border defense is not considered, if they are recruited back to the country, it will be the biggest discordant factor.

On this matter, His Majesty the Emperor did not express his opinion, but only let the ministers discuss a plan that could achieve both ends, and hand it over to Xie Ai on the front line for implementation as soon as possible.

His respect and sympathy for the begging army is one thing, but when it comes to the laws and regulations of the country, it is another logic. Since Jiangbei used his affairs, he has been guarding against and suppressing the rise of the military leaders. Now that the general situation is set, let alone start This bad example.If Li Nong still insists on this and is unwilling to make concessions, then no matter how meaningful the begging army is to border defense, this force can only be given up!
Originally it was just reminiscing about the past, but the topic turned to border defense affairs.When the topic stopped, the emperor realized that it was already dusk, so he simply stayed in Jiangxi for dinner.

It was originally a family of relatives, and the acquaintance was informal, so the emperor sent someone to inform the empress of the Changqiu Palace, asking the empress to invite Jiang Xi's family members into the forbidden house, and let the family return to the mansion together after the meal.

While preparing meals outside the hall, the emperor simply summoned Du He, Yu Tiao, Ji You and others who were in charge of the stage, and a group of old friends from Jiangdong had a small gathering in the forbidden area.

Although the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, the topic cannot be limited to human feelings. Everyone present is the backbone of the government. Occasionally, they will talk about the troubles in their duties during the chat and brainstorm. Some government orders that have far-reaching influence on the country and the people will be Often born from this.

This kind of happy, relaxed and joyful atmosphere between the emperor and his ministers is actually very rare to see, and it often only appears between the first generation of entrepreneurial monarchs and ministers. The old love for each other is deep, and the interests tend to be the same, so naturally there are fewer barriers.However, as the rules and regulations become more and more complete and the times develop more and more, Lichao Zaifu often needs complex games to take the position, so it is difficult to have such a relaxed atmosphere.

　On the Ghost Festival, sweeping tombs and offering sacrifices to ancestors, yesterday was delayed for a day, sorry, sorry. . .
