Chapter 175 Aftermath
The sudden incident made Zhao Qi fumbling. The time for the transfer was too abnormal. He already understood that he was powerless to stop the coming Jurchen invasion. All he could do was to actively prepare for the war. What he had been waiting for over the years was not wrong.
On this day, however, the transfer made Zhao Xiao fall into the valley with full confidence. At this critical moment, he has no power, cannot mobilize Hedong's army, nor can he integrate the resources of the entire Hedong to fight against the upcoming war. There is no better than this
Even worse...
Zhao Qi quickly calmed down from the initial panic. He had been through accidents and impossible for so many years. Although the situation is not good for him, it is not so bad that it is uncontrollable. Now the first step is
It is to do a good job in the aftermath and minimize the impact of your resignation on the mansion. The first thing to be arranged is people. No one can talk about anything. And with the dismissal of his post, the Xuanfu Envoy will inevitably face it.
With blood exchange, no one will continue to use the team he took over, and Tong Guan won’t!
Xu Jingheng doesn't have to worry about him. He is a miserable official and will definitely have a good home when he returns after four years. Yang Shi, Zhou Xingji, Chen Guoting and Chen Dong are both his staff members who are recruited by him. The official position is low and a little stubborn.
Temperament can be used to make one's own temper, but it is afraid it will be difficult to stand out when you go back. In the past few years, they have helped themselves complete the three major tasks of farming, restoring the people, and rectifying officials. They can make a stand in the northwest. These people have made great contributions.
, I can't treat them badly.
Zhao Qi gave them two choices: one is to give them a generous amount of money, and go back and wait for the Ministry of Personnel to continue to become an official or retire and return home, and will not be missed because of lack of money; the other is that although the Xuanfu Department is waiting
I can't go any further, but I can continue to be a staff member in the royal palace and continue to wait for opportunities with me. I dare not say that I can make them prosperous in one day, and at least I will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. Zhao Qi also hopes that they can stay.
After several people thought it seriously, Cai Jing was in power in the court, and even if he returned to Beijing, he would have no chance to make a comeback. He decided to stay with the prince. So Zhao Shishi enthroned Yang Shi as Yishan, Zhou Xingji praised him, and Chen Guoting gave him a lecture.
.Chen Dong joined the army as a record officer of the royal palace and stayed in the northwest temporarily...
The most troublesome thing now is the resettlement of its own personal army. The Zhongyong Army now has more than 40,000 troops. According to the plan, it can only retain 2,000 people from the Guard Brigade, and the remaining people are converted into military farms. The Zhongyong Army can be said to be Zhao
The flesh of Shin's heart. His greatest reliance in this world has almost condensed all his efforts and disbanded them. Zhao Shin would never do anything.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the most spacious courtyard in Taiyuan Inn. Zhao Qi can't figure out why he was suddenly transferred, so he did not leave in the Xuanfusi yamen. Instead, he packed up his fine lines and moved to the inn.
In the museum. Early that morning, the post officer discovered that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which had always been quiet on weekdays, had a different age in the past. The inner guard in charge of the prince's daily life found him and asked him to prepare a few more rooms and buy some ingredients.
Of course, the post officer did not dare to neglect. Although the prince was not a Xuanfu envoy, he was still the prince and could not afford to offend him. However, he secretly reported these situations and waited for him to prepare all the things back.
At that time, he found that there were more soldiers from the comforting office around the inn, and some strange faces appeared at the door. He was shocked. It seemed that the direction of the wind in Hedong was really changing!
"Prince, it seems that someone in Hedong wants to attack us. There are more spies around the inn to monitor us. This post official is quite suspicious!" Shang Hu, who was in charge of the periphery, reported.
"Hmph, everyone pushed me. They all thought I was out of favor, so they hurriedly expressed their merits to the new master!" Zhao Qi chuckled. It seemed that this incident was not simple. He had just left office and was monitored by someone.
There must be a mastermind behind this matter.
"It's really a shame to the people! Prince, do you want your subordinates to drive them away?" Shang Hu said angrily.
"Don't pay attention to them, a bunch of dog legs is not worthy of being angry. As usual, as long as you don't do anything that is not good for us, don't pay attention to them!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and said. He knew that it was a sensitive period, and it seemed that a little bit of trouble would be turbulent.
It may cause a chain reaction, but in the case of unknown circumstances, movement is worse than calmness.
"I understand!" Shang Hu said politely. The prince said, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He ordered the field brigade's reconnaissance team, who was on standby, to change to plainclothes to monitor the suspicious personnel, and find out which yamen they sent and came to find out which yamen they were.
…
"Sangou, are these things delivered by the inn?" Jianxi asked while looking around the kitchen in the backyard, looking at the ingredients placed aside, barking Sangou to the side.
"Mr. Xi, I've arranged for people from the inn to buy it. Is there anything wrong with it?" Sangou checked the vegetables and vegetables, which were all fresh. He wiped his hands on the apron and asked in confusion.
"Sangou, now it's not as usual. Don't use these things. I'll send my confidants out to buy them again. Even if I ask someone to give them away, I have to find our own business, chicken, fish, and sheep. I have to buy them for a living. After raising them for a day, I have to buy them.
Only if there is no problem can you use it. You have to pick the vegetables in the field in person. Do you understand?" Jianxi said seriously.
"What happened to Mr. Xi?" Sangou asked in surprise. The prince usually eats casually and does not have so many choices. Now that Mr. Xi is so mysterious, he feels a little uneasy.
"Sangou, the prince was plotted against. You must be careful before the matter is found out. Now is an extraordinary period, especially in the kitchen. You must be so energetic and stare at me. Watch me, especially
The prince’s food and drink are only allowed by your hands. If there is any problem, we will die and die!" Jianxi said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Master Xi, I understand. From today on, I will be in the kitchen. If anyone dares to harm the prince, I, Sangou, will fight him!" Sangou understood as soon as he heard that someone was going to be unfavorable to the prince.
This is awesome, he said, patting his chest.
"Well, it's getting late. The people in the mansion have to eat and live here in the past two days. It's about to come. You prepare early and don't delay the meal!" Jianxi nodded, his attitude towards Sangou
Very satisfied.
"Yes, it will definitely not delay the matter. I will make arrangements immediately!" Sangou agreed.
Jianxi looked at the kitchen, went to the tea room, inspected the newly arranged guest rooms in the inn, ordered people to clean up again, and kept people to guard them, and did not allow outsiders to enter and exit. Then he went to the front hall to arrange personnel and strengthen the guard in the yard.
Today, several heads of the Loyal and the generals are coming. If something goes wrong, the entire Loyal and Brave Army will be paralyzed.
After Chen Shi, Zhao Meng, Zhao Li, Zhao Yi, Zhao Xiao and Zhao Zhi who received the order from the prince arrived first, and then the dragon, lion, tiger, leopard, wolf generals stationed in various places were Xu Biao, Dou Jun, Wang Heng and others.
People arrived one after another, and they were all very surprised. Why did the prince ask them to meet at the inn? After they drank tea with suspicion, the prince showed up and saw Xi following behind with the imperial edict.
"The imperial edict has been issued. Do you all understand?" After reading the imperial edict, Zhao Qi looked at the crowd in the hall and stared at each other with a look of disbelief.
"Prince, what the court means is that the prince will resign and we want to disband our loyal and brave army?" Zhao Meng asked for a moment of silence.
"The Zhongyong Army is my personal army. Now that my position as the Xuanfu Envoy is gone, of course there is no need to exist. However, the Zhongyong Army is not disbanded, but is changed to a military farm and continues to stay in the northwest!" Zhao Qi said.
.
"Prince, is there any room for maneuver in this matter? Are you willing to leave like this?" Zhao Li asked carefully. Of course, he knew that the Zhongyong Army and the Prince had a relationship of prosperity and loss. After the Prince left, the Zhongyong Army was also
It's all over.
"The imperial edict has been issued, and Taiwei Tong is also on the way to come, and things can no longer be reversed!" Zhao Qi shook his head and said.
"These villains knew that they were secretly stumbling, and we just didn't leave. How could they do us!" Xu Biao stood up and said.
"Xu Biao, don't be fooled, listen to the prince!" Seeing Xi shouted sternly, Xu Biao did not dare to disobey, and sat down angrily, not knowing what he was mumbling.
"Yes, we just listen to the prince and never leave the prince even if we die!" Liu Biao, commander of the wolf general, agreed.
"That's right, the prince is leaving, we won't stay!" said Wang Heng, the commander of the tiger general.
"This time the prince suddenly resigned from his post must have been plotted against by villains. As long as the prince gave his order, I will lead the leopard general to destroy them first, no matter who the damn is!" The commander of the leopard general Sun Ji said angrily.
"Damn it, the prince is loyal to the country, and they are still using secret tricks behind us. Even if we want to live, we will seek justice for the prince!" Dou Jun, the commander of the Lion General, also spoke out for the prince.
"Don't talk nonsense, follow the prince's orders!" Zhao Yi stood up and said seriously, "If you have any plans, just say it directly. Don't worry us. Whether you leave or stay, we will never leave the prince!"
"Yes, Prince, our hard work over the years cannot be lost!" Zhao Zhi said with tears in his eyes. The fifty people at the beginning have grown to more than 40,000 now. How much the prince has paid, they are all witnesses.
"Zhao Li, what do you think!" Zhao Xiao smiled and asked Zhao Li sitting beside him, saying that everyone's attitude had shown that they were still loyal to them and had no different intentions.
"Prince, I think we should follow the order!" Zhao Li stood up and said with a polite manner.
"Zhao Li, what do you want to do?" Xu Biao jumped up again and said.
"Xu Biao, sit down and listen to him!" Zhao Qi said with a deep face. Xu Biao glared at Zhao Li, shook his fist at him before sitting down.
"The decree does not say that the prince will leave the northwest, but we must adapt our loyal and brave army to understand its intentions. It is precisely because they are afraid of the prince that this will happen. If we do not obey the order, those people will have an excuse to further frame the prince.
Our loyal and brave army was adapted according to the order, but they had guns and cannons in their hands, so they still didn't dare to treat the prince!" Zhao Li said, "Now the Jurchens are ready to attack me, and they are going to offend me, so we just need to wait, and things will inevitably turn around.
Chapter completed!
