On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 568
Times have changed. Cui Che had previously recommended Mai Tiezhang as the commander of the Longyou Road Marching Army to supervise all the armies in Longyou. It was an order from the former emperor Yang Hao to conquer Zhangye's prefect Yin Shishi.

If you use this as an excuse to ask Mai Tiezhang to send troops to Zhangye under the order of Yang Hao, it will appear that the name is wrong and the words are not right.

Mai Tiezhang waited for the reappointment of Emperor Dayan, and it was early February, the weather had already warmed up, so he was about to order the school captains from all states to gather troops and join him along the way.

But the messenger was stopped by Li Shimin. When Mai Tiezhang heard the news, he was furious. He called Li Shimin to him. road:
"When you first came to Tianshui, the old man warned you not to act on your own. Do you really think that the old man dare not kill people!"

Obviously, if Li Shimin couldn't come up with an explanation today, Mai Tiezhang wanted to kill people and build his prestige.

Of course Mai Tiezhang dared to kill, but in the face of his death threat, Li Shimin showed no fear on his immature face, instead he showed calmness. He explained:

"The sage has his own painstaking efforts in re-planning local power.

"Only with the permission of the inspectors, the governors of various places can second the troops of the states.

"As a confidant of a saint, the general should be more considerate of the holy will.

"Now that the general wants to bypass the inspectors and mobilize the soldiers of the states, isn't he blatantly violating the orders of the saints.

"Even if Zhangye is captured, the crime will outweigh the merit. Please think again, general."

Li Shimin's words made Mai Tiezhang's back break out in cold sweat.

He is a rough man, and in his youth he did all sorts of trickery.

After Mai Tiezhang took refuge in Cui Che, under Cui Che's persuasion, he began to learn from him, and he also studied the art of war.

There is some political intelligence, but not much.

As the governor of Daizhou, he sat on the bench for several years, and Mai Tiezhang was eager to make contributions. Naturally, he did not notice the bad political influence of bypassing the supervisory envoy and seconding soldiers from various states.

Of course, Mai Tiezhang has the ability to bypass the supervisor, after all, everyone knows that Cui Che will use him as the main general to lead the armies of Longyou to conquer Zhangye
But if he really did this, he would undoubtedly be slapping Cui Che in the face openly.

Mai Tiezhang was sitting upright, he no longer had the attitude of questioning the crime before, he doubted:
"You are so young, why can you understand the strangeness?"

Seeing that Mai Tiezhang stopped yelling at him, Li Shimin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. His calm face didn't mean he wasn't nervous inside.

"The boy missed his mother and sisters who were far away in Jinyang, and after the postman arrived, he asked him if he had a letter from home.

"The postman said that the supervisor of Longyou Road will take office soon, maybe he will bring news from home for the boy.

"The postman can go so fast with his horse and whip, and the Longyou Dao inspector came in such a hurry, obviously he was urged by the sage, otherwise why would he be allowed to travel all night.

"The boy secretly thinks that the sage urged the inspectors to cooperate with the generals and inspectors, so as to set an example and set a precedent for the inspectors and governors everywhere."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he did not reveal the slightest hint of arrogance, his attitude was still humble.

But the look of appreciation in Mai Tiezhang's eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

He said with emotion:

"Perhaps, the biggest achievement of the sage's marriage with the Li family is not that you got Qizhou and Renshou Palace without a single soldier, but you."

With such a compliment, even Li Shimin's face flushed with excitement.

"The general praises you."

Mai Tiezhang waved his hand and said:
"What you said, the old man has already figured it out. He will not recruit soldiers from various states without permission. You can go down first."

Li Shimin resigned, and after he left, Mai Tiezhang wrote a secret letter to Cui Che himself.

Tell Cui Che the truth without making any subjective evaluation of today's events.

Mai Tiezhang admired Li Shimin's talent, if he had come from an ordinary family, Mai Tiezhang would have recruited him as his son-in-law on the spot.

But this young man happened to be Tang Guogong. With his aptitude and status, he would definitely become the leader of the Guanlong gentry in the court in the future.

The well-respected general Yuan Cong married the future leader of the Guanlong gentry. Cui Che, as the founding emperor, might not doubt their loyalty, but Cui Qiji and Cui Youzhi, father and son, could not rest assured.

The 11-year-old Li Shimin originally thought that after this incident, Mai Tiezhang would look at him differently, but Mai Tiezhang treated him indifferently, not to say that he rejected him, but he didn't show much affection for him.

It wasn't until the Longyou Dao Inspector came to Qinzhou that Li Shimin figured out the joint. After all, he was young and wanted to express himself too much without thinking.

Mai Tiezhang has no intention of forming a good relationship with Li Shimin. He is from the south of the Yangtze River, and he doesn't want to be involved in the battle between the Kanto and Kansai courts in the future.

But the arrival of the Longyou Dao Inspectorate made Mai Tiezhang ecstatic, he went out of the city to greet him personally, and entered the city hand in hand with him.

This Longyou Dao Inspector is also an old acquaintance of Mai Tiezhang, and it is Cui Che's personal follower when he was young, Zhao Wen.

In fact, almost all the inspectors were Cui Che's personal followers when he was young, such as Wang De, Li Qing and others.

This type of inspector is humble but powerful, able to monitor the local area and report directly to Cui Che, but they are incapable of directly interfering in the local military affairs.

As for the deployment of state troops, the local governor must request in advance before they can intervene.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, King Cui Yanzong of Yong and King Cui Yanqing of Qi supervise Guannei Road and Henan Road respectively, and at the same time they are the governors of a state. They can use themselves as the governors to ask themselves as the supervisors to mobilize the states. Fu Bing.

In the future, it will be very easy for Cui Che to get rid of their power. He only needs to revoke one of the positions of Cui Yanzong and Cui Yanqing. military power.

The Huaishui Road, as well as the Guannei Road and Henan Road where Cui Yanqing and Cui Yanzong worked in Luoyang after the capital was moved, can be counted as internal.

Staying away from the war, it is impossible to have almost all the confidantes placed in the army of the rest of the states.

This is also the reason why Cui Che took the trouble to abolish the general control of the governor's local army and adopt the supervisory envoy system.

Speaking of Tianshui, the new Longyou Dao Inspector Zhao Wen and Mai Tiezhang are old acquaintances.

Twenty years ago, Mai Tiezhang, who had just defected to Cui Che's command, could not ride a horse. Although Mai Tiezhang had excellent legs, it was dangerous to lurk in the enemy camp and inquire about news.

In order to allow him to preserve his strength, Cui Che always asked Zhao Wen to ride him for a ride, and at the risk of waiting for Mai Tiezhang to come back.

Therefore, after the war, Zhao Wen also shared some credit and became a county magistrate.

The friendship between the two is not limited to this. Mai Tiezhang was first literate by Zhao Wen. After all, Zhao Wen was Cui Che's grandma's grandson's companion to read.

Now that the old man is reunited, he is naturally overjoyed.

　I'm going to write a side story later, and the next chapter will be before three o'clock in the morning.
