Chapter 171 Zhang Wen Zhengxi

Zhao Zhong bent his waist, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty should think twice about whether to continue using Huangfu Song."

Emperor Ling thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: I appointed Huangfusong because I trusted you, but since he fought in Linjing in March, he has been nesting in Anding County without moving. Isn't this a vegetarian meal? The war in the Northwest is urgent, and if there is no merit, there is deed!

Emperor Ling suddenly stood up and shouted: "Order the Minister to draft the edict! Huangfu Song has failed for several months and refused to fight. He was dismissed from the position of General Zuo Cheqi, seized the official seal, cut food for 6,000 households in the city, and demoted him to the capital. Township."

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Sangong Jiuqing system was passed down in one line. However, the official positions of the Han Dynasty developed on the basis of the Sangong Jiuqing system to develop the Chinese and Foreign Dynasties. , Shang Shuling and his subordinate officials were the center of decision-making in China and North Korea, and the outer court became the executor of decision-making.

The angry Emperor Ling ordered Zhang Rang again: "Tomorrow morning, we will decide on someone to replace Huangfusong!"

Zhang asked Zhao Zhong to bow to the ground one after another: "Your Majesty is holy, and the ministers would like to congratulate His Majesty!"

The anger on Emperor Ling's face was still there, and he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, followed by several small yellow gates, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong followed, and they looked at each other, with a cold smile on their faces——Cheng up.

"Your Majesty is here."

Under the service of the left and right, Emperor Ling slowly knelt and sat on the ground with a serious face, and the ministers in the palace seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

However, there were also a few ministers who looked proud, obviously they knew something about Emperor Ling's performance in the palace, and even the imperial edict drafted by Shangshutai. Among them were General He Jin, Situ Yuanhuai and others, who planned their own plans.

Emperor Ling opened his mouth and said: "My family, Huangfu Song was in the northwest for four months. He fought in vain and spent countless money and food, resulting in an empty treasury. Yesterday, I ordered the Shangshutai to draft an imperial edict to remove Huangfu Song from the position of general of the left chariot and cavalry. Eat city as a punishment."

kindness?

There was still no human voice above the main hall, but almost all the ministers were surprised. If you can't believe it, you look at me, and I look at you, and you can't believe it.

Zuoqiqi was dismissed?

Although Huangfusong hadn't done anything for several months, the victory in Linjing in March could be said to be the peak of his martial arts. He defeated 30,000 Qiang thieves in the first battle, and he deserved to be the number one general of the Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Song has made great contributions to the country. Although there has been no progress in the past few months, the northwest rebellion is not a trivial matter. It is too rare for Zhou Yafu to quell the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in three months, and it will not be a mere four months. If it works, just remove Huangfusong, right?

The Shangshu ordered Yang Ci to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the left chariot rider has contributed to the country. He has been in the northwest for a long time, and the frontier soldiers are convinced. They will change their generals before the battle. I am afraid that the war in the northwest will be useless."

Yang Ci is the grandson of Yang Zhen, a famous official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the father of Yang Biao, and later the grandfather of Yang Xiu. He personally drafted the imperial edict yesterday, but he was very puzzled, so he was the first to jump out and sing against Emperor Ling in the court meeting.

Emperor Ling frowned: "Huangfusong has spent a lot of money and food without doing anything for several months, and the treasury can't make ends meet. The war in the northwest must be resolved quickly."

"The Qiang people have caused serious disasters, and I'm afraid it's not urgent."

"Back off!"

Emperor Ling snorted coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied, Yang Ci saw this and had no choice but to retreat into the ranks.

"Okay, there is no need to mention Huangfu Song's dismissal. I have made up my mind. All the ministers discuss who will succeed Huangfu Song and take charge of the Northwest War?"

Shangshu Lu Zhi did his part and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the right-hand chariot general Zhu Jun is calm in his troops and has a reputation. He can succeed Huangfu Yizhen."

Huangfu Song Guangzong smashed Zhang Liang, "passed Zhang Jiao to the first capital", and wrote a letter to pardon Lu Zhi's crimes, so Lu Zhi was reinstated as an official. Emperor Ling suddenly wanted to remove Huangfusong from his position. Lu Zhi was worried about the Northwest War, so he recommended Zhu Jun, who was comparable to Huangfusong, to go out.

Emperor Ling frowned: "Isn't Zhu Jun still attending his mother's funeral? Don't bother him. After leaving Huangfu Song Zhu Jun, there will be no famous generals in my Han Dynasty?"

Lu Zhi had a resolute character, and simply said: "If His Majesty Meng does not give up, I am willing to take command and go out to quell the war in Liangzhou as soon as possible."

Emperor Ling shook his head, frowned and said, "No, Master Lu, step down."

Lu Zhi could see that His Majesty really had something to say about his old friend Huangfuyi, so neither Zhu Jun nor Lu Zhi wanted to use it, so he sighed silently, and retreated like Yang Ci.

"General, who do you choose?"

Emperor Ling looked at the minister and headed by one person, fat and fat, it was He Jin, a relative who was promoted to the post of general by Empress He.

He Jinzhi took a step forward proudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend one person to be the general of the Northwest."

Emperor Ling became interested: "Who does the general want to recommend?"

"Yuan Pang, who is in charge of gold, has always led the imperial guards in the palace, and has great prestige."

Emperor Ling frowned, Yuan Pang was indeed a Jinwu Guard, but in terms of his prestige, he was far inferior to Huangfusong.

Situ Yuan Huai said calmly: "Your Majesty, how about I recommend someone?"

"who?"

"Sikong and Zhang Wen, the first emperor was a Minister of Shangshuling, a great minister of farming, full of prestige."

He Jin frowned, and looked at Yuan Huai, while Yuan Huai was smiling, and his eyes were unrelenting, confronting He Jin tit for tat.

Although Yuan Pang, Zhijin Wu, also has the surname Yuan, he is not from the same family as Yuan Huai, the "four generations and three princes". It is the Yuan family of Chenjun.

He Jin's idea is very simple, aren't you four generations and three males a bull? I, He Jin, want to support another Yuan family to compete with you.

In the same way, Yuan Huai of the fourth generation and the third father looked down on He Jin, a vulgar butcher from the bottom of his heart. He relied on his relatives to take the position and had no background at all. How could he compare with our famous family of the fourth generation and the third father? bumpkin!

Emperor Ling nodded: "Well, Zhijinwu and Sikong are both capable ministers, but Sikong is a veteran of the two dynasties, with great prestige, so Zhijinwu should be Sikong's deputy."

Yuan Huai smiled and praised: "Your Majesty is a wise man who knows how to employ people."

After all, Yuan Huai looked at He Jin calmly: I'll kill you, I won this round.

Although He Jin was depressed, he had no choice but to accept the appointment.

"Yang Ci, hurry up and draft the edict! Order Sikong and Zhang Wen to be the chariot general, hold the holiday, and take Jinwu Yuan Pang as the deputy general to take over Huangfusong's position and crusade Beigong Boyu!"

He Jin suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, General Dong Zhuo, who broke the captives, is at the frontier fortress and can help Zhang Wen."

Dong Zhuo bribed He Jin a lot of money, so He Jin naturally recommended him to make contributions with Zhang Wen.

Emperor Ling waved his hand: "It's all right, by the way, as soon as Zhang Wen went to Sikong, he was free, and Yang Ci took over."

Shang Shuling and I sing the opposite? Come on, you kid, stop doing it and be Sikong.
