Chapter 29 Old Tradition

At dawn, Lu Wu had already dressed up and arrived outside Zhao Shi's dormitory.

Zhao Shi also got up very early. After washing up, he went out. Lu Wu and Li Cheng met him immediately.

Zhao Shi said: "From now on, you will bring your royal equipment and accompany you around."

"I thank your Majesty for your grace." Li Cheng said sincerely, while Lu Wu was a little reluctant. He still wanted to go to the front line.

Zhao didn't care and just walked forward.

On the way, Zhao Shi said: "I have two hundred personal guards, all of whom are loyal and loyal young men. I have ten martial arts instructors, who are all old soldiers. There is no doubt about their loyalty, but they are very unruly. Whether you can secure your position as the instructor, you have to show all your strength." ability."

Lu Wu cheered up and replied: "The officials are optimistic about it. If I can't convince them, I will be willing to resign."

Zhao Shi then said to Li Cheng: "The personal guards have two lessons every day. They are originally responsible for Lu Gong, and they teach writing and military arts. At present, they are just literacy. Lu Gong's affairs are complicated, and I will take over them from now on."

Li Cheng replied: "I will ask Xianggong Lu for advice at a time of my choosing, so that I will not miss out on His Majesty's grand plan."

After walking to the school grounds, the guards had already lined up, so Zhao went straight to the front and started practicing.

as usual.

Lu Wu had nothing to do, so he approached Li Cheng and said, "I thought there would be provocation, but I didn't want to be ignored. It's really boring."

"Your Majesty is here, who dares to be presumptuous? Let's wait until your Majesty's training is over." Since it was just a casual chat, Li Cheng decided to mention Lu Wu a few more words: "We are originally white, and we will be hated when we rise to a high position. Therefore, Your Majesty's grace , let me wait around to make the transition. I will definitely use you in the future, so be patient."

Lu Wu said angrily: "The country is in a difficult situation, and there are so many villains who are so angry!"

In this case, there is no need to say more, Li Guocheng shut up decisively.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to promote someone quickly without causing criticism. It was basically impossible to take the civilian position, and the military position was easier to handle.

A common method is to promote a guard with a sword to a gold plate, and then put him out as a mid-level officer to make contributions, and then he can rise to the top. The most typical example is Song Huizong's promotion of Gao Qiu.

Of course, Zhao absolutely does not want Lu Wu to become the next Gao Qiu. In fact, Lu Wu cannot become Gao Qiu. This arrangement is just because he loves Wujiwu.

After all, Du Hu and the others were all influenced by Wen Tianxiang, otherwise would Zhao know who they were?
Half an hour later, the whole army had breakfast, and Zhao Shi presided over the distribution of meals. After eating, he went to the barracks for a tour, and then returned to the state office to handle government affairs.

Seeing that Lu Wu was about to leave with him, Zhao Shidao said: "You will stay here to assist in training."

"I accept your order." Lu Wu became excited.

As soon as Zhao Shi left, Wu Ada walked up to Lu Wu with a gun in his hand, cupped his hand perfunctorily, and said: "I heard that your instructor is very brave, but I am not very talented. Please give me some advice."

Lu Wu looked at Wu Ada with his arms crossed, and asked, "Who is Er?"

Wu Ada replied: "I was originally an old soldier in Huaixi. I fought on the battlefield for 30 years and luckily survived. Now I am old and frail and unable to carry a knife. Your Majesty promoted me to become this instructor."

In order to repay His Majesty's grace, I should try my best to improve my skills, so I ask for advice. "

"Disrespectful!" Lu Wu bowed and said, "How can you and my colleagues give us advice? It's just a discussion."

Next to him, Zhao Zhenglian said disdainfully: "Humph, I thought he was a man, but he turned out to be a coward. When he heard that Coach Wu had been in the army for 30 years, he became afraid."

Coach Xie Li heard this and shouted: "Who is making the noise? Get out of the queue!"

Zhao Zhenglian came out and said, "Teacher, it's me!"

Coach Xie Li said: "If you make a noise without permission, run three laps and go immediately!"

Zhao Zhenglian asked: "Thank you, Coach, can you watch Coach Wu teach that guy a lesson before you go?"

Xie Li thought for a moment and said: "The whole army is here, line up and rest for a quarter of an hour."

At this time, Lu Wu and Wu Ada opened up their posture and prepared to have a fight.

Zhao Shi doesn't care who wins and who loses. If Lu Wu wins, he can naturally secure his position as the head coach. If he loses, his character can be polished, so he won't lose anything.

When they arrived at the state government office, all civil and military personnel were already busy, only Wen Tianxiang seemed to be doing nothing.

After the ceremony, everyone took their seats. Chen Yizhong said: "Your Majesty, there are many vacancies for local officials. Please send someone out of town."

Zhao Shi asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Wenlong said: "I would like to open more Enke and select talents from various places to take charge of them." "If you are good, I will tell the world that we will open Enke again after three months." Zhao Shi made the final decision: "As for the local vacancies, the central government will deal with them properly without delay. .”

Chen Yizhong responded with a grimace.

Those who fled, those who rebelled, those who failed to promote the collection and distribution of land and were dismissed from their posts. There was a serious shortage of officials in various places. Each county barely had a magistrate. There can't be any.

As long as there is someone to send, Chen Yizhong can make the decision himself, why should he let the emperor figure out a way?

Su Liuyi added: "Taizhou reported that Dong Wenbing returned to the capital, and Zha La Yi'er instigated the capital to be promoted to the Fujian Daoxuan comfort envoy, and went to conquer the southern marshal's office, hoping to lead the army southward."

Zhao Shi glanced at Zhang Shuangguo, meaning that this was supposed to be reported by the Imperial City Division first, but now it is reported by the front line, so hurry up.

Zhang Shuangguo stood up and said: "The one who instigated the capital was a royal guard of the captive chief. He first went to conquer Dali, and then followed the army to quell Li Fen's rebellion. Later, he invited people who were smugglers of horses in Huainan to serve as soldiers. He was appointed to thousands of households, garrisoned Caizhou, and fought in the battle of Xiangfan. If you have meritorious service, you will be promoted to manager.

The year before last, he was appointed as a recruiting envoy to garrison Yingzhou. Last year, he invaded south from Boyan and went to Jiankang. He was appointed as Jiankang's pacification envoy. This year, he entered Lin'an and stayed behind. "

Not bad, at least I can tell you the resume of the enemy general. Zhao nodded slightly and said: "Liu Shiyong and Lin Jingxi must be more vigilant. Don't slack off."

Zhao Shi turned around and asked, "How is the battle in Qingtian?"

Su Liuyi replied: "It's still the same."

The Yuan army set up return artillery on the river bank. When the Song army's baggage ships passed by, [-]% of them were sunk. In fact, the waterway had been cut off.

However, under Jiang Zheng's command, Qingtian County repelled the Yuan army's attacks many times. Liu Shen had no choice but to besiege him, trying to kill Jiang Zheng.

It's not easy, Qingtian soldiers are full of fine food, and Jiang Cheng hasn't used the treasure at the bottom of the box, so Liu Shen will definitely not be able to defeat him.

Zhao Shi asked again: "Is there any news about Privy Council Zhang?"

Su Liuyi replied: "There is no news, we can only wait for it to turn around on its own."

Zhao nodded to express his understanding and added: "Currently, Fujian has been conquered. Although there are many rebellions, it will be settled soon.

It is my intention to set up a general manager's office in Jiangxi and Jinghu, with Jiang Wanzai as the general manager to take charge of the military and civil affairs of Jiangxi and Jinghu, and then set up a deputy general manager to assist. Who do you think can be the deputy? "

Chen Yizhong got up and said: "Wen Gong was born in Jiangxi. He once proposed to punish Jinghu and knew Ganzhou. He has unparalleled prestige. If he is appointed as the deputy general manager, Jiangjing people will flock to him and the place will be pacified quickly.

And the center is fine, the most important thing is to recover the place, and Wen Gong goes to it, and it will get twice the result with half the effort! "

It cannot be said that it coincides with each other, it can only be said that it is unexpected.

If Wen Tianxiang does not come back, the emperor's establishment of the General Manager's Office will definitely be opposed, because everyone believes that loyalty cannot be tested, only the system is the most reliable, and the General Manager has absolute power over the local area, and he may rebel at some point.

It is different when Wen Tianxiang is there.

The same old tradition.

Starting from Wang Anshi, all ambitious prime ministers have thought that central officials are their younger brothers, so that they can monopolize power.

Although Chen Yizhong is greedy for life and afraid of death, his passion for power has not diminished at all. Of course, he does not want Wen Tianxiang to stay and get in the way.

Fortunately, in the current situation, place is indeed more important, so it is also a good choice for Wen Tianxiang to go to Jiangxi.

"I will listen to the arrangements." As soon as Wen Tianxiang expressed his position, the matter was settled.

The General Manager's Mansion is established, the chief and deputy managers are established, and the subordinate officials, who will be in charge, and what treatment will be given, many things have to be negotiated.

At this time, Lu Wu triumphantly returned to the door, obviously winning a complete victory in the sparring.

Zhao couldn't bear the details, so he used lack of energy as an excuse to leave first, and Lu Wu naturally accompanied him.

"Official, I have something to say." Lu Wu said.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shi asked.

Lu Wu replied: "I think it is inappropriate for your majesty to set up a personal army but not to accompany him. However, you can choose those who perform well every day to accompany you as escort. It is both a favor and a rest, and it is more heart-warming."

"This is a very good statement. You will discuss the details with the coaches." Zhao Shi said.
