"Lin Chenjia, the bodyguard of the Prince's Mansion, is a man of both military and moral character. He is hereby promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities!"

"We have specially appointed the female official of the Crown Prince's Palace, Wan'er, as the imperial envoy for this disaster relief operation to take charge of the disaster relief affairs. The five-city military and horse departments and all the government offices in the capital will fully cooperate!"

At the court meeting, many ministers heard an unfamiliar name.

As for Shangguan Wan'er, these ministers knew about it.

She is the female history of Li Zhaoqian's residence, who grew up with the new emperor.

It is not surprising that such cronies would be reused after the new emperor ascended the throne.

But what many Confucian ministers criticized was that Shangguan Wan'er was just a female, how could she handle the affairs of the DPRK?

Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism is now very popular among scholars.

In the view of these scholars, women should abide by the three obediences and the four virtues and take care of their husbands and children at home.

However.

Many ministers with such thoughts have suffered losses at the hands of this Shangguan female historian.

After several fights, Shangguan Wan'er's talent has spread and no one dares to underestimate her.

"Brother, who is this Lin Chenjia?"

At the end of the court meeting, the two burly generals, one behind the other, walked out of the palace.

"Be careful, your Majesty will make your own decision."

The leading general's eyes narrowed slightly, signaling his younger brother not to speak in vain.

However, although the latter nodded, his eyes mostly showed disapproval.

It was as if the emperor in his brother's mouth was not worthy of awe.

Fortunately, the other party was not a fool. He knew he had to restrain himself and immediately put on a straight face.

Because a civil servant with a round head, a wide forehead, and a fat belly came forward to say hello.

"Hahaha, Zhao Shangshu."

The person who came smiled and bowed his hands.

"With my lord."

The military general named Zhao Shangshu also greeted him with a smile on his face, as if the two had a good relationship.

Only the younger brother behind Zhao Shangshu looked at Mr. He with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"Zhao Shangshu, His Majesty has decreed that ministers like us should donate money for disaster relief. I wonder how much Zhao Shangshu plans to contribute?"

Mr. He did not hide his intention and went straight to the point.

Only those narrow eyes shone with a treacherous look.

"I have been favored by the emperor, so I will naturally respond to your majesty's call and donate money for disaster relief." Zhao Shangshu looked careless and looked like he was loyal to the emperor and the country.

But he had already complained in his heart that He Shen, the Minister of Household Affairs in front of him, was really an old fox.

Who doesn't know that Mr. Heshen has a lot of money, and even the new emperor intends to let Heshen give more money for disaster relief.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was not fooled, He Shen did not answer the call. He just looked at the two brothers leaving with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

After leaving the palace, a cold look flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's calm and calm eyes.

"This Maoxing is really a piece of trash!"

When Zhao Guangyi saw his brother getting angry, he didn't dare to agree with him and seemed a little trepidatious.

"The new emperor's methods are really not simple. With the reputation of suppressing bandits, he actually took away the military power of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of this.

Although he is the Minister of War, he can nominally control the armies of Li and Tang Dynasties.

But in fact, without the tiger charm and the emperor's edict, Zhao Kuangyin could not mobilize these troops.

Especially for the more than 100,000 troops that were the most important in the capital, Zhao Kuangyin had to place his own men in each battalion one by one and take power bit by bit.

Among them, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department is the key department to guard the gates of the capital, and its importance can be imagined.

In addition, the Wucheng Army and Horse Division can train five thousand soldiers in name.

Judging from various recent signs, Prince Teng is touring the nine sides, and today he has appointed the guards of the Prince's Mansion as the capital commander.

The new emperor was obviously not very peaceful and wanted to consolidate military power.

nature.

The first person to bear the brunt was Zhao Kuangyin, the Minister of War.

Originally, Zhang Maoxing, the commander of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, was a descendant of Wu Xun. In order to show his goodwill to Wu Xun, Zhao Kuangyin had just given him such a lucrative position.

However, this Maoxing is really a piece of trash!

The Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which originally had a full strength of 5,000 soldiers, had to temporarily recruit civilians to make up for the shortfall when the bandits were about to be suppressed!

If this kind of person doesn't die, who will die? !

"Brother, what about Lin Chenjia, your son? Should I arrange for someone to kill him?"

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, and the expression on his face became calm: "This is the new emperor's method. You and I got involved and gave him an excuse to suppress him."

"As for Lin Chenjia, he is just a servant of the Prince's Mansion. Is it possible that he can settle the worry-free cave?"

Furthermore, for the follow-up disaster relief, the troops of these five cities also exerted great efforts.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe that Lin Chenjia was such an amazing talent that he could handle all these troubles.

If Lin Chenjia is nothing more than a straw bag, only Zhao Kuangyin's associates will have a chance to impeach him.

Finally, the important position of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was taken back.

"That's right, brother."

Zhao Guangyi thought of something and mentioned someone.

"Among the captains who were dismissed this time, there was a descendant of the Sun family of Wu Xun named Sun Shaozu."

"Sun Shaozu?"

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and had never heard of this name.

I think he is also an incompetent person.

"What's going on with Sun Shaozu?"

"He sent thirty thousand taels of silver to his younger brother and seemed to want his official position reinstated."

"Have you collected the money?"

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked.

"not yet."

A flash of hesitation flashed across Zhao Guangyi's rough and arrogant face. Thirty thousand taels of silver is quite a lot, "This Sun Shaozu seems to have something to do with the Jia family."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin became interested.

Duke Jia Guogong was extremely prominent in the current dynasty.

It's a pity that Duke Jia Guo followed the late emperor, and all the remaining descendants became useful.

but.

Even so, Jia Guogong had great prestige in the army, and Zhao Kuangyin could use it.

"Take Sun Shaozu's money and let him rest at home for a few days and then make arrangements."

"yes!"

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Sun Shaozu's gift of 30,000 silver is not bad.

He also sent Zhao Guangyi a gift of good horses and jade, and various valuable items totaling more than 20,000 yuan.

After collecting the money, Zhao Guangyi naturally had to settle things properly.

As for Lin Chenjia.

A trace of disdain flashed in Zhao Guangyi's eyes.

Their brothers really couldn't take action.

But now in Li Tang's military general officialdom, there are countless low-level military officers who want to be promoted.

All he needed to do was let out some words, and someone would find trouble for Lin Chenjia on his behalf.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guangyi has to thank Lin Chenjia.

Without this person, Sun Shaozu might not be able to beg him.

So what about Lin Chen?

"drive!"

A group of generals in bright clothes and angry horses rode through the streets of the capital.

It attracted countless good people to watch.

"Look, the leading general has a bronze ghost face on his face!"

"Hehe, I guess it's because I'm so ugly that I have to wear a mask to hide my shame."

"Maybe he's as handsome as King Lanling?"

"Young hooves, we need men to attract customers, so don't show off here!"

The leader of this marching general was naturally Lin Chen.
